"Digital dementia (失智)" is the term being used by medical professionals to identify some of these effects.Some professionals like Jim Kwik, an expert in memory improvement and optimal brain performance, are taking a closer look at this effect. Kwik describes digital dementia like this: "...we're ___34___ our brains to our smart devices. We're so reliant on our smartphones that our smartphones are making us stupid. As medical studies chart the decline in memory and cognitive skills among smartphone users, a connection is made between symptoms ___35___ with dementia."

According to one survey, more young people are starting to cook at home for three basic reasons: They can save money, eat healthy and waste less food.Popular TV chefs are also getting millennials excited aboutlearning some basic cooking skills. Many millennials view cooking as a form of entertainment and self-expression. They proudly post pictures of their cooking creations on Facebook or Instagram, and invite friends over to share the cooking experience.Many millennials have also found ways to avoid wasting food. After roasting a chicken, they put the leftover bone in their freezer instead of the garbage can. Later, they use the bones to make chicken stock which is an important ingredient in many dishes. They also hate throwing out fruit that's too old. To avoid that situation, they bake ripe fruit like berries and bananas for 15 minutes at 175 degrees C. Then they freeze it overnight. After that, they place the fruit in plastic bags and store it their freezer for later use.Now any millennials only eat at restaurants that have excellent food-waste policies. These servants use every part of the vegetables they buy, including their stems and roots, in dishes. They also use beef, chicken and pork bones to make their own stock.Millennials also reduce food waste by only buying what they require. Before going to a market, they write down what they need and don't buy anything else. This way they won't purchase more food than they can consume.56. What is the main subject of this article?A. A cooking trend that has attracted millennials.B. A plan that millennials have for donating food.C. A novel cooking technique that millennials like.D. A food production system favored by millennials.57. What do millennials with fruit before freezing it?A. Mix it with other ingredients in a bowl.B. Carefully remove the skin and seeds from it.C. Use a sharp knife to chop it up into pieces.D. Put it in an oven at the proper temperature.58. According to this article, when do millennials make careful choices?A. When they dine out togetherB. Whey they vote for candidatesC. When they choose an employerD. When they plant a new garden59. According to this article, how do millennials avoid purchasing too much food?A. They select small cans and packages.B. They prepare a practical shopping list.C. They leave their credit cards at home.D. They weigh produce before buying it.(B)Families should reduce exposure to synthetic chemicals found in food colorings, preservatives and packaging materials as a growing body of research shows they may harmchildren's health, according to a policy statement and technicalreport from the American Academy of Pediastrics released online.The statement also suggests improvements to the foodadditivesregulatory system, including updating the scientific foundation ofthe U.S. Foo d and Drug Administration’s safety assessment retesting all previously approved chemicals.Leonard Trasande ,the author of the policy statement, to tell us more about these concerns.Q: What are the growing number of studies showing us?A: Over the past two decades, an accumulating body of science suggests some food additives can interfere with a child's hormones, growth and development. Potentially harmful effects of food additives are of special concern forchildren because they are more sensitive to chemical exposures because they eat and drink more relative to body weight, than adults do and are still growing and developing. An early injury to their organ systems can have lifelong and permanent consequences.Q: What additives does the statement highlight?A: The additives of most concern, based on rising research evidence cited in the report, include:Bisphenols, such as BPA, used to harden plastic containers and line metal cans, can act like estrogen (雌激素) in the body which may potentially change the timing of puberty, decrease fertility, increase body fat and affect the nervous and immune systems. BPA is now banned in baby bottles.Phthalates, which make plastic and vinyl tubes used in industrial food production flexible, may affect male genital development increase childhood obesity and contribute to cardiovascular disease. In 2017, the Consumer Product Safety Commission banned the use or some phthalates in child-careproducts such as teething rings.Why are some additives like artificial colors banned in some countries, but not in the U.S.?In regards to chemicals found in our food, the laws originally put in place were thought to be enough to protect our health. Since then, science has suggested that the current framework does not work to protect us adequately. The U.S. allows the use of more than 10,000 additives to preserve, package, or modify the taste, appearance, texture, or nutrients in foods. Many were grandfathered in for approval during the 1950s, and roughly 1,000 additives are used under a "Generally Recognized as Safe" designation process that doesn't require FDA approval. In the report, we urge a number of steps that can be taken such as more regulation on the side of the FDA. Some would require changes to the laws, while others can be done by the FDA.60. According to the American Academy of Pediatric's report, people should ___ to cope with the problem of food additives.A. try to avoid food additives in daily life and revise relevant rules on food additivesB. update the food safety assessment program and check the approved chemicals againC. improve the food additives regulatory system and retest all approved chemicalsD. reduce the usage of food additives and establish new food protection system61. Leonardo Trasande holds the view that food additives do more harm to children than adults because study shows ____________.A. children are more sensitive to what they eat and drink than adultsB. children usually eat and drink more unhealthy food than adultsC. children are just too young and weak to protect themselvesD. children's organs are easier to be damaged and hard to recover62. How many specific kinds of harmful effect caused by the additives are mentioned in the passage?A. 2B. 7C. 8D. 3(C)The koala is an unusual creature. Native to Australia and a bit bigger than a rabbit, it spends most of its time in eucalyptus trees (桉树), feeding on leaves that are poisonous to nearly every other animal on the planet. The koala sleeps about 22 hours a day and spends the remainder of its time eating and resting It might spend 10 minutes a day moving, experts say, usually from one tree to another. It has a soft pad at the end of its spine and extra thick fur on its rear end to make the effort, of sitting more comfortable.Threats and protective measuresThe unique lifestyle of the koala has helped it prosper, but todaythe cute and iconic creature is facing threats from habitat loss,disease and a changing climate. Koala populations are expected todecline by 50 percent in the next 20 years according to the Australian Museum. To help protect these animals, which bring inan estimated $1.1 billion to Australia each year throughkoala-related tourism, an international team of researchers has published the first complete genome (基因组) of the koala. Their hope is that the keys to the marsupial's (有袋动物) long-term survival might be planted in its genetic code."The ultimate goal is that we won't have to…rescue them from the edge of extinction," said Rebecca Johnson of the Australian Museum Research Institute in Sydney, who led the work. "Now we have a really good understanding of the koala genome, and we are in a fantastic position to use that knowledge to help us manage them."Early findingsAn elementary analysis of the koala's genome, published in Nature Genetics, has already yielded some interesting findings.For example, the authors found that, compared to other mammals, the koala's DNA includes an expansion in the number of genes that encode for enzymes involved in anti-poison. That allows them to have a diet that depends almost entirely on eucalyplus leaves which are unusually high in poison. However, it also means that koalas metabolize (代谢) medicines like anti-chlamydia antibiotics faster than other animals.The koala genome also revealed why koalas are such famously picky eaters. They are known to consume leaves fromjust 20 of Australia's 60 known eucalyplus species. And even when they are in one of their preferred trees, koalas take leaf selection very seriously.Information waiting to be discoveredJohnson said that the information encoded in the koala's DNA is already being included in management strategies by conservation groups. However, she said the findings described in the new paper represent the early stages of what can be gleamed from the marsupial's genome."The data is public, and I would love for anyone to start mining it and see what other amazing things they can find," she said. "Once you have a genome of this quality, the sky's the limit with what you can do with it."63. What can be concluded from the passage?A. The research on the Koala's DNA has prevented its extinction successfully.B. Scientists are trying to rescue Koalas by providing more eucalyptus leaves.C. Koala's extinction is being controlled effectively in Australia.D. Scientists are trying to find a way based on Koala's gene to save them.64. According to the passage, which of the following is TRUE?A. Koalas can digest poisonous leaves thanks to their gene.B. Koalas are particular about leaves because of their taste.C. Koalas are being extinct just due to human's activities.D. Koalas will move to other continents in order to survive.65. "The sky's the limit" in the last sentence most probably means .A. The sky is the restrictionB. The sky is too high to reachC. There is no limitD. There is no possibility66. The passage is mainly about ___.A. Koala-a Special Creature in AustraliaB. scientific research on KoalasC. scientific efforts to save the KoalasD. Koala's Characters and PreferenceSection CDirections: Complete the following passage by using the sentences in the box. Each sentence can only be used once. Note that there are two sentences more than you need.Can just one person make a difference? You bet! In a community every person counts, and getting involved is not difficult. Take stock of your own talents and interests. 67 . Don't wait for someone elseto act first. Take the initiative! Once you see what you can accomplish, you'll want to keep going.Here are just a few ways to make a difference in your community. How many more ways can you come up with? Clean up the community. People often throw litter in places where there is already litter. And the problem only becomes worse until someone gets fed up and does something. Could your neighborhood use a cleanup? Neighborhood cleanups are oftensponsored by local businesses or schools. But if your community doesn't have a cleanup program, get together with friends to organize one. You could pick up garbage in a larger area twice a year, or you could clean a smaller area every few months. 68 Include the isolated. Do you know anyone who is housebound? Almost all neighborhoods have a few people who have to stay at their homes. These people are often elderly and unable to leave their homes to perform simple tasks.69 . By letting them "borrow" your legs and eyes, you can make them feel included. You can run errands for them like shopping or paying bills. They might like you to read to them if their eyesight is failing. Governments provide some of the services these people need, but programs cannot give them friendship; that's what communities are for!70 . Reading clubs are popular all over Europe and North America. Members might read at home to prepare for discussion, or they might read aloud to each other and talk about what they just read.

Native to Australia and a bit bigger than a rabbit,it spends most of its time in eucalyptus trees(桉树), feeding on leaves that arepoisonous to nearly every other animal on the planet.The koala sleeps about 22 hours a day and spends the remainder of its time eating and resting. It might spend 10 minutes a day moving, experts say, usually from one tree toanother. It has a soft pad at the end of its spine and extra thick fur on its rear end to makethe effort, of siting more comfortable.Threats and protective measuresThe unique lifestyle of the koala has helped it prosper, but today the cute and iconic creature is facing threats from habitat loss, disease and a changing climate.Koala populations are expected to decline by 50 percent in the next 20 years according to the Australian Museum.To help protect these animals, which bring in an estimated $1.1 billion to Australia each year throughkoala-related tourism, an international team of researchers has published the first complete genome (基因组) of the koala.Their hope is that the keys to the marsupial's (有袋动物) long-term survival might be planted in its genetic code.The ultimate goal is that we won't have to.. .rescue them from the edge of extinction, " said Rebecca Johnson of the Australian Museum Research Institute in Sydney, who led thework.“Now we have a really good understanding of the koala genome, and we are in a fan tastic position to use thatknowledge to help us manage them.”Early findingsAn elementary analysis of the koala's genome, published in Nature Genetics, has already yielded some interesting findings.For example, the authors found that, compared to other mammals, the koala's DNA includes an expansion in the number of genes that encode for enzymes involved in anti-poison. That allows them to have. a diet that depends almost entirely on eucalyptus leaves, which are unusually high in poison. However, it also means that koalas metabolize (代谢) medicines like anti-chlamydia antibiotics faster than other animals.The koala genome also revealed why koalas are such famously picky eaters. They are known to consume leaves from just 20 of Australia's 60 known eucalyptus species. And even when they are in one of their preferred tees,koalas take leaf selection very seriously.Information waiting to be discoveredJohnson said that the information encoded in the koala's DNA is already being included in management strategies by conservation groups. However, she said the findings described in the new paper represent the early stages of what can be gleamed from the marsupial's genome.“The data is public, and I would love for anyone to start mining it and see what other amazing things they can find," she said. Once you have a genome of this quality, the sky's the limit with what you can do with it.”63. What can be concluded from the passage?A. The research on the Koala's DNA has prevented its extinction successfullyB. Scientists are trying to rescue Koalas by providing more eucalyptus leaves.C. Koala's extinction is being controlled effectively in Australia.D. Scientists are trying to find a way based on Koala's gene to save them.64. According to the passage, which of the following is TRUE?A. Koalas can digest poisonous leaves thanks to their gene.B. Koalas are particular about leaves because of their taste.C. Koalas are being extinct just due to human's activitiesD. Koalas will move to other continents in order to survive.65. The sky's the limit in the last sentence most probably means ________.A. The sky is the restrictionB. The sky is too high to reachC. There is no limitD. There is no possibility66. The passage is mainly about ________.A. Koala-a Special Creature in AustraliaB. scientific research on KoalasC. scientific efforts to save the KoalasD.

A change appears to be taking place, though, and millennials are leading the way. According to one survey, more young people are starting to cook at home for three basic reasons: They can save money, eat healthy and waste less food.Popular TV chefs are also getting millennials excited about learning some basic cooking skills. Many millennials view cooking as a form of entertainment and self- expression. They proudly post pictures of their cooking creations on Facebook or Instagram, and invite friends over to share the cooking experience.Many millennials have also found ways to avoid wasting food. After roasting a chicken, they put the leftover bones in their freezer instead of the garbage can. Later, they use the bones to make chicken stock which is an important ingredient in many dishes.They also hate throwing out fruit that's too old. To avoid that situation, they bake ripe fruit like berries and bananas for 15 minutes at 175 degrees c. Then they freeze it overnight. After that, they place the fruit in plastic bags and store it their freezer for later use.Now any millennials only eat at restaurants that have excellent food-waste policies. These servants use every part of the vegetables they buy, including their stems and. rots, in dishes, They also use beef, chicken and pork bones to make their own stock.Millennials also reduce food waste by only buying what they require. Before going to a market, they write down what they need and don't buy anything else. They way they won't purchase more food than they can consume.56. What is the main subject of this article?A. A cooking trend that has attracted millennials.B.A plan that mllennials have for donating food.C.A novel cooking technique that millennials like.D. A food production system favored by millennials.57.

Put it in an oven at the proper temperature.58. According to this article, when do millennials make careful choices?A. When they dine out togetherB. Whey they vote for candidatesC.

They prepare a practical shopping list.C. They leave their credit cards at home.D. They weigh produce before buying it(B)Families should reduce exposure to synthetic chemicals found in food colorings, preservatives and packaging materials as a growing body of research shows they may harm children's health, according to a policystatement and technical report from the American Academy of Pediastrics released online.The statement also suggests improvements to the food additives regulatory system, including updating the scientific foundation of the U.S. Food and Drug Administrations safety assessment retesting all previously approved chemicals.Leonard Trasande ,the author of the policy statement, to tell us more about these concerns.Q: What are the growing number of studies showing us?A: Over the past two decades, an accumulating body of science suggests some food. additives can interfere with a child's hormones, growth and development.Potentially harmful effects of food additives are of special concern for children because they are more sensitive to chemical exposures because they eat and drink more relative to body weight. than adults do and are still growing and developing. An early injury to their organ systems can have lifelong and permanent consequences.Q: What additives does the statement highlight?A The additives of most concern, based on rising research evidence cited in the report, include:* Bisphenols, such as BPA used to harden plastic containers and line metal cans. can act like estrogen (雌激素)in the body wh ịch may potentially change the timing of puberty, decrease fertility, increase body fat and affect the nervous and immune systems. BPA is now banned. in baby bottles.* Phthalates, which make plastic and vinyl tubes used in industrial food production flexible, may affect male genital development increase childhood obesity and contribute to cardiovascular disease. In 2017, the Consumer Product Safety Commission banned the use or some phthalates in child-care products such as teething rings60. According to the American Academy of Pediatric's report, people should ________ to cope with the problemof food additives.A. try to avoid food additives in daily life and revise relevant rules on food additivesB. update the food safety assessment program and check the approved chemicals againC. improve the food additives regulatory system and retest all approved chemicalsD. reduce the usage of food additives and establish new food protection system61. Leonardo Trasande holds the view that food additives do more harm to children than adults because studyshows________.A. children are more sensitive to what they eat and drink than adultsB. children usually eat and drink more unhealthy food than adultsC. children are just too young and weak to protect themselvesD. children's organs are easier to be damaged and hard to recover62. How many specific kinds of harmful effect caused by the additives are mentioned in the passage?A. 2B.7C.8D.3CThe koala is an unusual creature. Native to Australia and a bit bigger than arabbit,it spends most of its time in eucalyptus trees (桉树), feeding on leaves that arepoisonous to nearly every other animal on the planet.The koala sleeps about 22 hours a day and spends the remainder of its timeeating and resting. It might spend 10 minutes a day moving, experts say, usually fromone tree to another. It has a soft pad at the end of its spine and extra thick fur on its rearend to make the effort, of siting more comfortable.Threats and protective measuresThe unique lifestyle of the koala has helped it prosper, but today the cute andiconic creature is facing threats from habitat loss, disease and a changing climate.Koala populations are expected to decline by 50 percent in the next 20 years according to the Australian Museum.To help protect these animals, which bring in an estimated $1.1 billion to Australia each year through koala-related tourism, an international team of researchers has published the first complete genome (基因组) of the koala.Their hope is that the keys to the marsupial's(有袋动物) long-term survival might be planted in its genetic code.The ultimate goal is that we won't have to.. .rescue them from the edge of extinction, " said Rebecca Johnson of the Australian Museum Research Institute in Sydney, who led thework.“Now we have a really good understanding of the koala genome, and we are in a fan tastic position to use thatknowledge to help us manage them.”Early findingsAn elementary analysis of the koala's genome, published in Nature Genetics, has already yielded some interesting findings.For example, the authors found that, compared to other mammals, the koala's DNA includes an expansion in the number of genes that encode for enzymes involved in anti-poison. That allows them to have. a diet that depends almost entirely on eucalyptus leaves, which are unusually high in poison. However, it also means that koalas metabolize (代谢) medicines like anti-chlamydia antibiotics faster than other animals.The koala genome also revealed why koalas are such famously picky eaters. They are known to consume leaves from just 20 of Australia's 60 known eucalyptus species. And even when they are in one of their preferred tees,koalas take leaf selection very seriously.Information waiting to be discoveredJohnson said that the information encoded in the koala's DNA is already being included in management strategies by conservation groups. However, she said the findings described in the new paper represent the early stages of what can be gleamed from the marsupial's genome.“The data is public, and I would love for anyone to start mining it and see what other amazing things they can find," she said. Once you have a genome of this quality, the sky's the limit with what you can do with it.”63. What can be concluded from the passage?A. The research on the Koala's DNA has prevented its extinction successfullyB. Scientists are trying to rescue Koalas by providing more eucalyptus leaves.C. Koala's extinction is being controlled effectively in Australia.D. Scientists are trying to find a way based on Koala's gene to save them.64. According to the passage, which of the following is TRUE?A. Koalas can digest poisonous leaves thanks to their gene.B. Koalas are particular about leaves because of their taste.C. Koalas are being extinct just due to human's activitiesD. Koalas will move to other continents in order to survive.65. The sky's the limit in the last sentence most probably means ________.A.

上海市宝山区2019年初三下学期中考英语二模汇编：阅读回答问题及答案
上海市2019年中考英语二模汇编：阅读回答问题宝山They exist in every school. Some use words, and others use physical violence (暴力）.No matter what the methods are, the result is the same: bullies make you feel bad and make going to school a lot more difficult. What can you do about them? Luckily, dealing with bullies is not as hard as you think. Just follow these simple steps, and there is a good chance you will survive the bullies at your school without getting hurt.The first step to take when dealing with bullies is to understand them. Most bullies make others feel bad so they feel better about themselves. Their main goal is to make you upset so they feel in control. The best way to deal with this is to avoid them all together. Don't walk near them, change your seat in class, or if they come up to you, walk away. If you can successfully ignore(对…不予理踩）a bully for a few days, you will probably be left alone.When it is impossible to ignore the bully, you will have to take further steps. Bullies prefer to target kids who they think are weak and vulnerable. The next time you see a bully, pretend to feel very brave and confident. If the bully says something to you, say “Stop it! "in a strong voice and walk away. If you see a bully picking on someone else, do the same. Bullies normally do not like confrontation(对抗).If they still pick on you, the next step is to report the bully to a teacher. Bullies have been around for a long time, so experienced teachers will know how to deal with them. The bully will get into trouble and the teacher will get ready to be on watch all the time.Bullies can give you big trouble. However, if you act quickly, you can almost always keep them from bothering(烦扰）you. Just remember to never get in a fight with a bully. Fighting will almost always make the situation worse. Be smart when dealing with bullies and you should survive without getting hurt!88. Is there a good chance to survive the bullies if you follow the simple steps?89. What is the main goal of the bullies?90. Why do we need to pretend to be brave and confident?91. What is the next step if the bullies still pick on you?92. What will make the situation worse when dealing with bullies?93. Are there any bullies at your school? What will you do if you meet with a bully?崇明It was a Friday morning. I felt too lazy to drive my car, so I called a taxi. The taxi arrived at my door at 6:00 a.m. and I got into it. I was so busy looking for something in my bag that I didn’t pay any attention to the driver. I just said, “Please go right now!I’m in a hurry!”A voice replied, “Yes, madam!”I was surprised when I heard a female voice. I stopped what I was doing for a second and looked at the driver. The driver was a young lady of about thirty. It was my first time seeing a young lady driving a taxi!”The car was running smoothly towards my destination. It was quite a distance from my home. The driver was driving perfectly well. I had travelled in taxi many times, but I had never seen a young lady driver! I was curious about the reason why she had chosen this job, so I starteda conversation, “If you don’t mind, can I ask you some questions?”“Yes, madam, no problem.”“I guess you are well-educated.”“Yes, madam, I have completed my education. I have done my MBA courses.”“Oh, wow! Why did you choose this job then, instead of going for a business or financial career?”I should see her face in the rear view mirror（后视镜）. She smiled and expressed her opinion.I was really amazed.Very politely, she said, “I have been enthusiastic（感兴趣的）about driving since I was a child. I have fulfilled my childhood dream. I do respect each and every job. I don’t mind whether a job is good or bad in other people’s eyes. I want a job where I can get satisfaction. I received offers from big companies but I preferred t his one because I like it. Although I can’t earn much money from this job, I love driving! That’s it!”88. When did the taxi arrive at the writer’s home that morning?89. At first, the writer didn’t notice that the taxi driver was a woman, did she?90. Why did the write start a conversation with the taxi driver?91. What information did the writer get about the young lady driver’s education?92. Why did the lady driver refuse job offers from big companies?93. What have you learned from this story?奉贤Many of the world’s successful people were once failures. Here are the stories of a few of them.Michael Jordan (born 1963) is one of the greatest basketball players of all time. However, he himself admits that it hasn’t been easy. In a famous advertisement for Nike, he says, “I have missed more than 9,000 shots in my career. I have lost almost 300 games. On 26 occasions I have been entrusted（委托）to take the game winning shot, and I missed. I have failed over and over again in my life. And that is why I succeed.”Albert Einstein (1879-1955) won the Nobel Prize in physics in 1921. However, he wasn’t always considered a “genius”. He didn’t speak until he was four, and couldn’t read until he was seven. His teachers and parents thought he was slow, and he was expelled （开除）from school. He later famously said, “Success is failure in progress”Abraham Lincoln (1809-1865) was one of America’s greatest leaders, taking the country through the Civil War （美国南北战争）. However, his life was never easy. He started numerous business that failed, he went bankrupt（破产）twice and was defeated in 26 campaigns（竞选）for public office. He later said, “My great concern is not whether you have failed, but whether you are content with your failure.”J.K. Rowling (born 1965) is the author of the hugely successful Harry Potter books, and one of the richest women in the world. But before publishing the books, she was penniless, depressed and trying to raise a child on her own. In a speech at Harvard in 2008, she said, “I had failed so greatly. After a short-lived marriage, I was jobless, a lone parent, and as poor as it is possible to be in modern Britain, without being homeless. The fears that my parents had had for me, and that I had had for myself, had both come to pass, and by every usual standard, I was the biggestfailure I knew.”So you see, just keep going!88. How many times has Michael Jordan missed the game winning shot?89. What happened to Albert Einstein in 1921?90. Which did Abraham Lincoln care more about, whether he failed or how to face with his failure?91. J.K. Rowling is one of the richest women in Britain, isn’t she?92. What was J.K. Rowling’s life like before Harry Potter Books were published?93. What do you think of failure? How do you overcome failure in your life? (Please give an example to explain)黄浦My mother often asked me, “What is the most important part of the body?” Through the years I would guess at what I thought was the correct answer.When I was younger, I thought sound was very important to us as hu mans, so I said, “My ears, Mommy.”She said. “No. Many people are deaf. But try to use your head and I will ask you again soon.”Then last year, my grandma died. Everybody was hurt. Everybody was crying. My mum looked at me when it was our turn to say our final goodbye to Grandpa. She asked me, “Do you know the most important body part yet, my dear?“I was surprised when she asked me this now. I always thought this was a game between her and me. She saw the conclusion on my face and told me, “This question s is very important. It shows that you have really lived your life.” I saw her eyes well up with t ears. She said, “My dear, the most important body part is your shoulder(肩膀)。
