Don’t. Rescue yourself! Obviously.”Knightley added that she had also forbidden The Little Mermaid, the 1989 cart oon. “This is the one that I’m quite annoyed about because I really like the film. I mean, the songs are great, but do not give up your voice for a man. Well, that’s a little difficult to handle, but I’m keeping to it.”Bell, the star of Frozen, expressed her disapproval of the Snow White fairy tale, which became a classic Disney cartoon in 1938. In an interview with parents, Bell said: “I look at my girls and ask, ‘Don’t you think it’s very unusual that Snow White didn’t ask the old witch why she needed to eat the apple? Or where she got that apple?’ I say, ‘I would never take food from a stranger, would you?’ And my kids respond, ‘No!’ And I think I’m doing something right.”Bell, who played a Disney princess in Frozen, said she also used the story to illustrate issues about permission. She says that she asked her children: “Don’t you think that it’s very strange that the prince kisses Snow White without her permission? … Because you cannot kiss someone ifthey’re sleeping!”Bell later responded to criticis m on social media. To one user she wrote: “Everything is a message to our children, because they are sponges(海绵) that soak up everything and are learning how to be adults through what they see. I want my girls to see and practice critical thinking and resp ectful behavior.”24. Why did Knightley stop her daughter from watching The Little Mermaid?A. Because Knightley disliked it.B. Because the little mermaid was tricky.C. Because the film showed wrong values.D. Because the songs in the film were annoying.25. What can we infer about Bell from Paragraph 4?A. Bell thought Snow White behaved well.B. Bell didn’t know how to persuade her kids.C. Bell wanted her kids to learn from Snow White.D. Bell believed her kids should be critical about the film.26. What qualities do Knightley and Bell expect their children to have?A. Curious and hard-working.B. Smart and generous.C. Independent and good-mannered.D. Critical and proud.27. What can be a suitable title for the text?A. Say No to Disney PrincessesB. Rescue YourselvesC. Doing Something RightD. Practice Critical ThinkingCThe Israeli farmers who pioneered the revolutionary technology known as drip irrigation（滴流灌溉）weren’t trying to solve one of the world’s most urgent problems. They were just trying to survive. They lived in the desert, and they didn’t have enough water to g row their crops.In its simplest form, it was little more than a pipe with holes in it. But behind each hole was ahi-tech dripper that let out just the right amount of water. Snaked along a row of crops so that the holes were positioned directly above the roots, the pipe could direct each precious drop of water directly to the plants, getting a bigger harvest while using a very small amount of water.Over time, the farmers improved upon the technology, perfecting the drippers that regulated the flow of water, and connecting the pipelines to computers that could determine exactly how much water each plant needed and when.If the global population kept growing, the rest of the world would increasingly resemble their little community in the desert. So they began selling their irrigation systems in other parts of the world, eventually expanding to more than 110 countries. Netafirm, the company says it’s lifting people out of poverty and conserving water at a time when the importance of doing so has never been clearer.The mass adoption of drip irrigation won’t save the world by itself. To avoid the coming catastrophe, nearly everybody will, in some way, have to do more with less, perhaps through accepting and using other new technologies. Otherwise, it’s going to get ugly.28. Why is drip irrigation called “the revolutionary technology”?A. It saves the world all by itself.B. It is controlled by computers.C. It makes irrigation more effective.D. It provides deserts with water.29. What does “one of the world’s most urgent problems” in Paragraph 1 refer to?A. Lacking water.B. Lacking labor.C. Lacking food.D. Lacking energy.30. How does the drip irrigation help farmers with crops?A. By drilling holes on the pipes.B. By regulating water via drippers.C. By snaking pipes along the crops.D. By placing pipes just above roots.31. Which of the following will be the best slogan for Netafirm to sell the irrigation systems?A. Less water; More harvest.B. New technology; New world.C. More grain; Less starvation.D. Water saving; World surviving.DName﹣calling, teasing, pushing and fighting﹣whether you have experienced it or not, the chances are that these are the things that appear in your mind when you hear the word “bullying”. Yet, many of us know little about the serious, lasting harms bullying could cause.If you’ve watched 13 Reasons Why, you’ll understand the impacts that bullying can have. The second season of the popular US teenage drama was released on May 18. It tells the story of Hannah Baker, a high school student who takes her own life after she’s picked on by fellow students, while others stand by and do nothing to help her.One of the important messages audiences could get from the show is to treat people with kindness and respect. “It teaches us that every single thing we say and do has an impact on others,” news platform Odyssey noted.Some may think 13 Reasons Why exaggerates（夸大）the seriousness of school bullying, but according to the US National Center for Educational Statistics, more than 20 percent of US students were bullied in 2019, and only 36% of this group reported it.NBA player Gerald Green opened up about being called “alien hands” during his teenage years due to his big hands. “Being bullied was embarrassing,” he said. “I still remember shying away from crowds and walking around with my hands in my pockets to evade the attention from my peers.” To get away with the teasing, he found his motivation by playing basketball and making a career out of it. But not everyone is so lucky to discover a release.According to statistics released by the US government, if someone prevents a bully, there’s a 57% chance that the bullying will stop within 10 seconds. So if you ever witness bullying, consider stepping up and supporting the victim. As US actor Brandon Flynn, who stars in 13 Reasons Why, said, “Just because you’re not the one getting bullied, it doesn’t mean it’s not your problem.”32. What is the purpose of the last paragraph？A. To add some background information.B. To encourage eyewitnesses to take action.C. To introduce a new topic of the discussion.D. To give people advice about dealing with bullying.33. What does the US National Center for Educational Statistics indicate？A. Bullying isn’t a problem in many schools.B. School bullying can’t cause too much pain.C. Only a few people are concerned about bullying.D. Many people who’re bullied choose not to seek help.34. What does the underlined word “evade” in Para. 5 mean？A. Attract.B. Focus.C. Avoid.D. Keep.35. What does the text tell us about 13 Reasons Why？A. It overstates school bullying.B. It was first shown on May 18.C. It is mainly about school bullying.D. It shows few people can report bullying.第二节（共5小题；每小题2分，满分10 分）根据短文内容，从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。

上学期高三摸底考试英语试题
河北省保定市2020-2021学年上学期高三摸底考试英语试题学校:___________姓名：___________班级：___________考号：___________一、阅读选择In April, Jackline Oyamo, 31, was laid off from her job as an electronic sales assistant at a shop in Kibera, one of the world’s largest slums (贫民窟) of Nairobi, Kenya. The measures to control the COVID-19 pandemic meant fewer customers and staff cutbacks. “After losing my job, it was extremely difficult to keep feeding myself after I exhausted my small savings,” she says.But Oyamo is able to get fresh produce for free from Victor Edalia, a 30-year-old urban farmer in her neighborhood. Last November, Edalia, who works.as a driver by day, changed a trash dump site in the slum into an urban garden. He signed an agreement with a local chief to use the land. Now, the plot, about a quarter of an acre, grows vegetables such as tomatoes, onions and spinach.Edalia originally started the farm to increase his income. The idea was to sell vegetables to hotels. But once the pandemic hit, he changed the plan. He wanted to find a way to “give back,” he says.So throughout the pandemic, Edalia has been providing free supplies of vegetables to 10 needy families and individuals in Kibera. They include young people who lost their jobs in the pandemic, like Oyamo, as well as single mothers and families with households of more than seven people. They can drop by the farm up to three times a week to pick up a supply of vegetables.Moses Omondi, team leader of Adopt a Family, a local nonprofit that’s been providing dry food donat ions like maize flour to 500 families in Kibera, thinks Edalia’s program is promising. “I think it’s a pretty smart approach,” he says. “In addition to supporting struggling families during these tough times that face starvation while at home, it helps to reduce anxiety and helplessness of a Kibera family.”1．What happened to Oyamo in April?A．She had a very hard time after losing her job.B．She sold electronic products to get enough food.C．She quit her job to protect herself from COVID-19.D．She spent her savings to help control the pandemic.2．Why did Edali Change his original plan for running the farm?A．To find a way to pay off his debt.B．To offer free vegetables to people in need.C．To sell vegetables to the needy families and individuals.D．To make more money by selling vegetables to hotels.3．What’s Omondi’s attitude to Edalias program?A．Doubtful.B．Uninterested.C．Hopeful.D．Disapproving.4．Which of the following can be the best title for the text?A．How Can We Help the Poor?B．What Can People Do in the Pandemic?C．Job Losers Help Grow V egetablesD．Urban Farmer Gives Greens to the PoorYou know that old saying that laughter is the best medicine. Well, studies have long shown that laughter can have a positive effect both physically and emotionally. In South Korea, a nation more used to holding back its emotions, at least one hospital is encouraging patients to let loose on their regular basis.Laughing, for those cancer patients and their families, is a weekly exercise at Seoul National University hospital. It is something that does not come easy for them, but an hour of laughter therapy (疗法）is all it takes to fight depression that often follows chemical treatment. Lim Song Li, a therapist at the hospital, was once a depression patient herself. She now is a laughter therapist and says when you laugh, blood vessels expand,and sugar levels drop, producing an abundance of hormones (激素）linked with happiness and pleasure. But in Korean culture, where Confucian tradition dominates(主导）social behavior,laughing is not a nature thing. Korean men are taught not to cry more than three times in their lifetime. And the sound of a Korean woman's laughter should not be heard outside the fence of her home. But inside this hospital,they are letting it out. By the end of the session, they make belief laughs somehow become their own.If laughing requires effort,more natural to Koreans, it is singing. The sing-song startherapist, famous for her therapy sessions to fight housewife depression,Jeong Ji Song says singing is an easier way to express inner feelings,especially for Korean women brought up in the conservative background. For some,these classes can be a stress-management tool,but for many more who suffer from depression, learning to sing out their heart can be a healing process.It not only helped Ying Seung Woo come out of severe depression, but also presented her with a new career. After taking up singing therapy, she found a talent in herself-cheer-leading. And now she is taking courses to become a certified therapist.5．The author mentions South Korea to show.A．there are few people suffering from depression in South KoreaB．laughter has a positive influence on Korean women' s healthC．people in South Korea are used to expressing their inner feelingsD．people in South Korea have attempted to use laughter therapy6．Why does the hospital encourage patients to laugh?A．Laughter can help ease patients' pain.B．Laughing can help patients fight depression.C．Laughter is a natural thing in the Korean society.D．Laughing is not allowed in the Korean tradition.7．·What does the underlined word “healing” in paragraph 3 mean?A．Curing.B．Controlling.C．Suffering.D．Fighting.A team of scientists says that playing sounds underwater can get fish to return to areas with severely damaged coral reefs(珊瑚礁）.In an experiment, they found fish returned after hearing recordings of the sounds of a healthy ocean reef. The scientists placed underwater speakers in areas where coral had been dying in Australia’s northern Great Barrie r Reef. They played the sounds over a period of about six weeks in 2017 and studied the results. The team reported that twice as many fish arrived in areas where the sounds of healthy coral were played.The sounds also led to a 50 percent increase in the number of species present in the area, the researchers found. Among the arrivingfish were species that feed on all major food sources.The researchers noted the importance of having many different kinds of fish return to the area. Different species of fish perform many activities that support the ocean environment and sea life. “Damaged reefs have a higher chance of recovery if they have healthy fish populations,” the scientists wrote in the report.Steve Simpson is a professor at the University of Exeter who helped lead the research. He said in a statement that “healthy coral reefs are remarkably noisy places. ” They contain the sounds of many kinds of shrimp, fish and other sea creatures. Young fish listen for these sounds when they are looking for a place to settle, Simpson said.He added that reefs “become ghostly quiet” when they suffer destruction that is usually related to human-caused pollution. Coral damage can cause unappealing smells and sounds that drive shrimp and fish away. But the experiment suggested that the use of underwater loudspeakers was an effective way to get young fish to come back.Andy Radford, a professor at University of Bristol,said the underwater sounds are a promising way to fight coral reef damage at the local community level. But he noted that other threats need to be, reduced as well. These include climate change, pollution and overfishing. 8．What did the scientists find in the experiment?A．Twice as many fish arrived in the healthy coral areas.B．The sounds led to a 50 percent increase in the number of fish present in the area. C．Playing the sounds of healthy coral reefs is effective to save dying coral.D．Damaged reefs can recover completely if they have healthy fish populations. 9．According to Steve Simpson,what will drive fish away from damaged coral reefs? A．Human-caused pollution.B．The unattractive smells and sounds.C．Climate change.D．Overfishing.10．What’s the main idea of the text?A．Healthy fish help recover the damaged coral reefs by swimming.B．People reduce environmental pollution to save dying coral.C．Scientists find a new way to protect the ocean environment and sea life. D．Researchers use underwater sounds to fight coral reef damage.二、七选五Research shows that growing fruits, vegetables and other plants can make us happier and relieve tension. Working with dirt and plants can be fun. Also, when we garden, we are outside, getting sunshine, fresh air and exercise. But not all of us have space, time or money for a large garden. Well, you can garden in small spaces with containers. 11．Research your location12．How much sunlight will it get? Do you have safe access to a rooftop? Is it protected from the wind? Are you able to easily water the plants? All these things are important.13．In your containers, you can control the soil and the amount of water, but not the sunlight. So, find out which plants can grow in the light conditions you have. The website says that most vegetables need at least six hours of sunlight every day or full sun. However, some plants can grow in partial shade.GroupingWith container gardening, you can grow different plants in the same pot. This saves room. 14．Some compete for the same nutrients. Also, do not grow plants in the same pot if they have very different water and soil needs.WaterYour garden will need a regular supply of water. 'So, try to water your plants at the same time each day unless there is rain. It is best to water early in the morning. Watering at night can cause problems. 15．The water may evaporate(蒸发）too fast.Gardening is fun! And we hope you can grow some tasty and healthy food for your meals. A．Pick the right plants.B．Before starting, decide on a place.C．However, not all plants grow well together.D．This can increase our sense of independence.E.Also, try not to water during the hottest part of the day.F.A garden gives us healthy fruits and vegetables to feed our families.G.Container gardening is an easy way to grow vegetables when you lack the space.三、完形填空I've noticed that conversations with my children have started to turn into somethingthat I don't like.

Even though I am only ten years old, I have lived in two countries and in two cultures. I have lived in both Mexico and the United States.I was born in the state of Michoacán. I was born in a small town called Quinceo. Life there was simple and peaceful. There was a small market where we would go on Sundays. There was a corral where we would go and watch rodeos. After school, my friends and I would go for a swim in a creek. My mom did not work; she stayed athome taking care of our family. Life in Quinceo was nice, but money was sometimes not enough to support us.In 1996, the day came when my dad decided to bring us to the United States. Leaving my town was hard, but it was important that my family stay together. When I left Mexico, I had a lot of special friends and nice teachers.When I first came to the United States, I started at a new school in Chicago. I found care and company at the school, among Hispanic people, my friends, and my teacher. She helped me all the time.My education now is different from the one in Mexico. Here, I am studying in two languages. I feel very happy because I am able to communicate in two languages. In my case, speaking Spanish is an indication of my Mexican heritage. Speaking English is a symbol of my triumph and the struggles that I have as an immigrant in this country. Now that I have been here three years, I am proud to offer my help and support to people who need it.I urge those who come from Mexico and other countries to learn English and to continue speaking their native language, too. It will help them reach out to others.24. What does the writer think of Mexico?A. She doesn’t like it because it’s poor.B. She was too young to remember it.C. She loves the country and is proud of it.D. She wants to get rid of it so she left.25. Why did the family move to the US?A. Because they were in need of more money.B.

Which of the following statements about the author is WRONG?A. She wants to be a teacher and support people.B. She enjoyed company of friends at the new school.C. She enjoyed life in Mexico and also in the USA.D. Her new school teaches in English and Mexican.27. The purpose of the passage is to ________.A. explain how the author learns English well as a teenB. help people to understand American immigrants betterC. introduce the life in her hometown Quinceo in MexicoD. persuade immigrants not to drop their mother tongueCIn our youth-obsessed culture, one would assume that your self-esteem peaks in your 20s—but that’s not the case. Researchers from the University of Bern set out to determine when the av erage person’s self-esteem is the highest, and the good news is that your peak comes decades later.Researchers found that self-esteem increases throughout one’s lifetime, with a slight plateau during those awkward teen years. Our self-esteem levels then s tart rising again and don’t peak until well into midlife. The highest point for self-esteem level happened at age 60 when they can retire and stayed there until a slight decline in one’s 70s and 80s.This news that our self-esteem will continue to rise or stay steady during the majority of our lives is exciting. We often hear of increased stress in the decades of midlife, but there are upsides too. “Midlife is, for many adults, a time of high stability in relationships and work. Moreover, most people further invest in their roles, which might promote their self-esteem,” researcher Dr. Orth told the journalist. “For example, people take on managerial roles at work, maintain a satisfying relationship with their spouse or partner, and help their children become responsible and independent.”As we age and our roles tend to change, it’s natural for self-esteem to take a small hit. “Old age frequently involves loss of social roles as a result of retirement, the empty nest, and, possibly, widowhood. In addition, aging often leads to negative changes in other possible sources of self-esteem, such as socioeconomic status and health.” Dr. Orth said. However, it’s important to remember that it’s only a slight decrease. Dr. Orth believes that most people maintain a high self-esteem level even into their 90s and beyond.28. Which of the following is the closest in meaning to “peak”?A. Minimum.B. Maximum.C. Average.D. Height.29. Who is more likely to have the highest self-esteem level?A. A newly-retired person.B. A teenage boy.C. A person in his/her 80s.D. A middle-aged person.30. What does Dr. Orth think of the decrease in self-esteem for the old people?A. It is destructive.B. It is unnatural.C. It is important.D. It is acceptable.31. Where is the text most likely from?A. A travel guide.B. A science report.C. A novel.D. A business magazine.DThe start of the U.S. Atlantic hurricane season is just over two weeks away and forecasters are expecting particularly high activity this year. With warmer than usual conditions expected in the North Atlantic this summer, meteorologists have predicted that the season could produce eight or more hurricanes.While forecasters cannot predict how many hurricanes —if any —will make landfall, the potential for dangerous storms to strike the southern and eastern coasts brings an additional problem for authorities already struggling with the COVID-19.Experts say that the COVID-19 is affecting the capabilities of the Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) and other organizations involved in responding to natural disasters.Retired U.S. Army Lieutenant General Jeffrey Talley, who now leads global efforts on disaster management at IBM’s Center for the Business of Government, said that with FEMA and other authorities engaged with responding to the COVID-19, resources will be limited if a hurricane strikes.“When we look at a disaster... I think of it in terms of how we prepare for, respond to and recover from those types of events,” Talley said. “Right now we’re in the middle of the response of COVID-19. None of us are really sure how long it’s going to last and how the response to disasters is going to be different, say, two months from now, six months from now, so on and so forth,” he said.According to Talley, the COVID-19 could complicate the response to a hurricane by interrupting the flow of emergency supplies to areas where they are urgently needed at crucial moments.Social distancing and stay-at-home orders will also force authorities along the south and east coast to rethink how they manage people who must leave their homes in the event of a disaster. While many states are already lifting some lockdown restrictions, social distancing will still be important for many months to come.32. When will the first hurricane possibly arrive in US this summer?A. In about eight days.B. In about six months.C. In about two months.D. In more than two weeks.33. According to Talley, how could COVID-19 influence the response to a hurricane?A. More people will leave home to fight against a hurricane.B. Rescue materials might not reach disaster areas sometimes.C. Lockdown can greatly reduce damage and injury.D. The pandemic makes it harder to predict hurricanes.34. What can we infer from the last paragraph?A. People throughout the country no longer need to stay at home.B. The state governments are confident about tackling hurricanes.C. Authorities along the coasts will stick to the former orders.D. It is necessary to keep social distance in the coming months.35. What is the best title for the text?A. More Destructive Hurricanes to Be Expected.B. More Difficult to Forecast Hurricanes Coming.C. COVID-19 to Worsen Hurricane Response.D. Social Distancing Needed in Coming Months.第二节（共5小题；每小题2分，满分10分）根据短文内容，从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。

With chip （芯片）readers, auto﹣reload apps, and one﹣dick online purchasing, it's only too easy to buy something without fully registering how much ________ costs． That said, even if you're not counting out small change for the cashier these days, you've probably still noticed how often prices end in .99．Maybe you assumed it had something to do with tax laws, or else it was a leftover practice from decades ago, when things cost less and pennies mattered more． In fact, it's actually a clever psychological tool that tricks your brain into thinking the price of an item is lower． "Because we read from left to right, we pay less attention to the end of the number versus （与……相比）the beginning, " DealNews．com consumer analyst Julie Ramhold told Reader's Digest． So, for example, your mind will interpret ＄9.99 as ＄9, though it's obviously much closer to ＄10．Just one dollar's difference might not seem like enough to a fleet your decision on whether to buy something, but it can push an item into a lower price range﹣and that's enough to make your mind think it costs significantly less． To your subconscious brain, a one﹣digit （一位数的）price like ＄9 seems a lot cheaper than a two﹣digit price like ＄10．Though ending prices in 9 might be the norm, there is a fair amount of variation when it comes to retailers' pricing tactics （定价策略）．Live Science reports that because we often see a price ending in 9 as a cheap deal, some stores﹣like J． Crew and Ralph Lauren﹣save the nines for their sale items, and use numbers ending in 0 for their full﹣priceditems, giving the impression that those items are high﹣quality． Thrift stores （二手商店）, on the other hand, often use whole numbers for all their products．（1）What does the underlined word "it" refer to？________A an auto﹣reload appB a chipC one﹣clickD something．（2）What can we learn from the second paragraph？________A Ending in .99 is a mentally low price．B Ending in .99 is a reasonableprice． C Ending in .99 is a fit to tax laws． D Ending in .99 is a one﹣digit lower price．．（3）Why do some retailers use whole numbers for their items？________A To show the items are cheap enough．B To show the items are in high﹣quality．C To show the items are fit for the norm．D To show the items are different enough．．（4）What would be the best title for this passage？________A Buy What You Want at the Right PricesB Why Are So Many Prices Lower？C The Reason So Many Prices End in .99D Saving the Nines for Your Purchasing Items．4. The term "bird brain" is frequently used to describe a person's lack of intelligence and good decision﹣making ability． However, some scientists believe it should be considered a compliment（恭维）, given that many birds can perform tasks that were once considered uniquely within humans． These include manufacturing and using tools, solvingproblems, and planning for future needs． Now, Griffin, an African Grey parrot, has proved that birds may even have better visual memories than human adults and children．The study, led by Hrag Pailian, a postdoctoral（博士后）fellow at Harvard University's Graduate School of Arts and Sciences, had the parrot compete in the shell game against twenty﹣one undergraduate students and twenty﹣one 6 to 8﹣year﹣old children．For those not familiar, the popular challenge involves hiding a small object under one of three, or more, upturned cups or nutshells, which are moved around． Participants are required to accurately identify the cup or nutshell under which the object lies．The Harvard team began by placing different﹣colored pom﹣poms（绒球）under four cups and moving them randomly around． To make the task more challenging, the researchers required participants to track two, three, and four pom﹣poms at the same time． The cup positions were moved between zero to four times far each of the combinations． Griffin and the undergraduate students conducted 120 tests, while the children did 36．An analysis of the results showed that Griffin ________ the 6 to 8﹣year﹣old across all levels on average． Even more impressive, the "bird brain" performed as well as, or slightly better than, the 21 Harvard students on 12 of the 14 trials! It was only in the final two tests, which had the most pom﹣poms and most movement, that the parrot lagged behind the adults． However, Griffin's performance never dipped below that of the children． "Think about it: Grey parrot outperforms Harvard undergraduates． That's pretty awesome．" said a delighted Pailian．（1）What is a person with "bird brain" usually like？________A Clever．B Stupid．C Unique．D Active．．（2）What do we know about the test？________A Easy．B Normal．C Complex．D Accurate．．（3）Which of the following words can be used to replace "outperformed"？________A did better than．B did as good as．C did worse than．D did as bad as．．（4）Who has better visual memory？________A The undergraduate．B The child．C The postdoctoral fellow．D The grey parrot．第二节（共1小题，每小题10分，满分10分）根推短文内容，从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项.选项中有两项为多余选项.5. （1）_______． Children and young people should get at least 60 minutes of physical activity every day． Parents should be good role models and have a positive attitude to being active．2．Choose water as a drink．（2）_______．It doesn't come with the added sugar found fruit juices，soft drinks and other sweetened drinks．3．Eat more fruit and vegetables． Eating fruit and vegetables every day helps childrengrow and develop and can reduce the risk of many diseases． Have fresh fruit as a convenient snack and try to include fruit and vegetables in every meal．4．（3）_______． "Still" time spent watching TV， surfing online or playing computer gamesis linked to kids becoming overweight． Plan active indoor and outdoor games or activitiesfor your children as alternatives to watching TV or playing on the computer．5．Eat fewer snacks and select healthier alternatives．（4）_______．Snacks based on fruit and vegetables， reduced fat dairy products and whole grains are the healthiest choices． Avoid snacks that are high in sugar fat such as chips， cakes and chocolates．A．Get active each dayB．Switch off the screenC．That's how to follow your own lifestyleD．Water is the best way to satisfy your thirstE．Snacks can help children and young people meet their daily nutritional needs F．Healthy snacks help children and young people meet their daily nutritional needs G．That's why it's so important to stop and make a decision to follow a healthy lifestyle第三部分：英语知识运用（共两节，满分30分）第一节完形填空（共1小题，每小1.5分；满分30分）阅读下面短文，从短文后各题所给的四个选项（A、B、C和D）中选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项，并在答题卡上将该项涂黑。
