• 12．Growing up in America，I enjoyed the convenience of eating the most attractive，well-packaged foods of the 20th century，including all the candies we often see near the cash register.During those times I wasn't aware how bad sugar was，and in fact，neither was anyone around me.So I continued to spread jam on my toast and eat ice cream daily.
     Strangely enough，I felt that sweet was some sort of wonderful drug which gave me the energy to function properly，to feel good and to perform at my best，all of which seemed necessary for growth.So why should I avoid it？
     Years later，huge food companies，like General Mills and Post，began pumping more sugar into their products，and then more and more people appeared with bigger bellies（腹部）.It finally came to my awareness that our society was becoming more miserable and unfit.And from what？From sugar!I began to do some research into sugar and what it did exactly to our bodies.To my amazement，I found its damage was just as bad as，if not worse than，what alcohol and cigarettes brought about.You see，when you take in more sugar than you need or burn，your body and brain become over-active.This，in effect，causes your cognitive（認知的） abilities to slow down，your mood to get to the extremes，your skin to age faster，your blood to become thicker and your liver and kidneys to be worn out.
     But what surprised me most，out of all of these horrible side effects，was that sugar adds extra pounds to your waistline，even if you do exercise regularly.And what I've always wanted，for the past few years，is to remove that extra fat around my belly so that I could finally see my abs（腹肌）.
     I just didn't know，this whole time，what damage I had been doing to myself and my dreams，but I knew I had to do something I had never done before.
  
  （1）What did the author use to do？

  
  A．He took in much sugar.
  B．He learnt to cook foods.
  C．He sold ice cream daily.
  D．He had candies packaged.
  （2）What made the author begin to doubt the benefits of sugar？

  
  A．Sugar was unable to provide necessary energy.
  B．More people eating sugary foods became unfit.
  C．Some companies avoided adding sugar to foods.
  D．Many customers stopped buying sugary products.
  （3）What is the third paragraph mainly about？

  
  A．The author's comments on sugar.
  B．The detailed process of the research.
  C．The harmful effect of sugar on health.
  D．The reasons why there search is done.
  （4）What does the author probably decide to do at last？

  
  A．Eat less food.
  B．Cut down sugar.
  C．Do more exercise.
  D．Add extra pounds.

• 13．You've heard that plastic is polluting the ocean—between 4.8 and 12.7 million tonnes enter ocean ecosystems every year.But does one plastic straw or cup really make a difference？Artist Benjamin Von Wong wants you to know that it does.He builds massive sculptures out of plastic garbage，forcing viewers to re-examine their relationship to single-use plastic products.
     At the beginning of the year，the artist built a piece called "Strawpocalypse，" a pair of 10-foot-tall plastic waves，frozen mid-crash.Made of 168，000 plastic straws collected from several volunteer beach cleanups，the sculpture made its first appearance at the Estella Place shopping center in Ho Chi Minh City，Vietnam.
     Just 9% of global plastic waste is recycled.Plastic straws are by no means the biggest source（來源）of plastic pollution，but they've recently come under fire because most people don't need them to drink with and，because of their small size and weight，they cannot be recycled.Every straw that's part of Von Wong's artwork likely came from a drink that someone used for only a few minutes.Once the drink is gone，the straw will take centuries to disappear.
     In a piece from 2018，Von Wong wanted to illustrate（說明）a specific statistic：Every 60 seconds，a truckload's worth of plastic enters the ocean.For this work，titled "Truckload of Plastic，" Von Wong and a group of volunteers collected more than 10，000 pieces of plastic，which were then tied together to look like they'd been dumped（傾倒） from a truck all at once.
     Von Wong hopes that his work will also help pressure big companies to reduce their plastic footprint.
  
  （1）What are Von Wong's artworks intended for？

  
  A．Beautifying the city he lives in.
  B．Introducing eco-friendly products.
  C．Drawing public attention to plastic waste.
  D．Reducing garbage on the beach.
  （2）Why does the author discuss plastic straws in paragraph 3？

  
  A．To show the difficulty of their recycling.
  B．To explain why they are useful.
  C．To voice his views on modern art.
  D．To find a substitute for them.
  （3）What effect would "Truckload of Plastic" have on viewers？

  
  A．Calming.
  B．Disturbing.
  C．Refreshing.
  D．Challenging.
  （4）Which of the following can be the best title for the text？

  
  A．Artists' Opinions on Plastic Safety
  B．Media Interest in Contemporary Art
  C．Responsibility Demanded of Big Companies
  D．Ocean Plastics Transformed into Sculptures

• 14．This year some twenty-three hundred teenagers（young people aged from 13-19）from all over the world will spend about ten months in US homes.They will attend US schools，meet US teenagers，and form impressions of the real America.At the same time，about thirteen hundred American teenagers will go to other countries to learn new languages and gain a new understanding of the rest of the world.
     Here is a two-way student exchange in action.Fred，nineteen，spent last year in Germany with George's family.In turn，George's son Mike spent a year in Fred's home in America.
     Fred，a lively young man，knew little German when he arrived，but after two months' study the language began to come to him.School was completely different from what he had expected-much harder.Students rose respectfully when the teacher entered the room.They took fourteen subjects instead of the six that were usual in the United States.There were almost no outside activities.
     Family life，too，was different.The father's word was law，and all activities were around the family rather than the individual.Fred found the food too simple at first.Also，he missed having a car."Back home，you pick up some friends in a car and go out and have a good time.In Germany，you walk，but you soon learn to like it."
     At the same time，in America，Mike，a friendly German boy，was also forming his idea."I suppose I should criticize American schools，" he said."It is far too easy by our level.But I have to say that I like it very much.In Germany we do nothing but study.Here we take part in many outside activities.I think that maybe your schools are better in training for citizens.There ought to be some middle ground between the two."
  
  （1）The whole exchange program is mainly to

  .
  A．help teenagers in other countries know the real America
  B．send students in America to travel in Germany
  C．let students learn something about other countries
  D．have teenagers learn new languages
  （2）What is particular in American schools？

  
  A．There is some middle ground between the two teaching buildings.
  B．There are a lot of outside activities.
  C．Students usually take 14 subjects in all.
  D．Students go outside to enjoy themselves in a car.
  （3）What did Mike think after experiencing the American school life？

  
  A．A better education should include something good from both America and Germany.
  B．German schools trained students to be better citizens.
  C．American schools were not as good as German schools.
  D．The easy life in the American school was more helpful to students.
  （4）What's Mike's attitude towards American education？

  
  A．Praised.
  B．Regretful.
  C．Ignorant.
  D．Blameful.

      Food plays an important role in our lives.We can learn a lot about a particular culture by exploring food.In fact，it may be difficult to fully define a culture without a nod to their cuisine.Here's why food is the best way to understand a culture.
      （1）

  It doesn't matter where you're from——you have to eat.And your societal culture most likely evolves from the universal need to eat.Food preservation（保存）techniques are unique to climates and lifestyle.Ever wonder why the process to preserve meat is so different around the world？（2）

  In Morocco，Khlea is a dish composed of dried beef and then packed in animal fat.When preserved correctly，it's still good for two years when stored at room temperature.That makes a lot of sense in Morocco，where the country historically has desert landscape，and extremely warm，dry temperatures.
      （3）

  Some people have cuisines that are entirely based on meat，and others are almost entirely plant-based.These cuisines took shape in the long course of history.For example，India's cuisine is extremely varied from region to region，with meat and wheat dishes in the north，vegetarian diets in the south.
      Sometimes，a certain ingredient of one dish can reveal cultural secrets. （4）

  And perhaps one of the most interesting results from the mix of two cuisines is Chicken Tikka Masala.It seems to be an Indian Mughali dish，but was actually invented by the British!
      Food tourism——it's a whole new way to travel.Food tourists won't just focus on having a glass of beer at Oktoberfest（德國十月啤酒節）.（5）

  They may even learn how to make their own fresh beer.And they have the chance to learn local skills that can send insight（洞悉） into a whole other aspect of a particular region's culture.
  
  A.Meat is more difficult to preserve than plants.
  B.Local cuisines show historical eating patterns.
  C.It has something to do with local resources，needs and climates.
  D.Food is the most important necessity of the people.
  E.Some cuisines change accordingly during different times of the year.
  F.Black pepper originates in Asia but becomes a key part of European cuisine.
  G.Moreover，they will be interested in learning the German beer making process.

• 19．When a tornado （龍卷風） touched down in a small town nearby，many families were left completed ruined.Afterward all the local newspapers carried many human-interest （人情味的） stories featuring some of the families who suffered the hardest.
      One Sunday，a particular picture especially touched me.A young woman stood in front of an entirely shattered （破碎的） mobile home，a depressed expression on her face.A young boy，seven or eight years old，stood at her side，eyes downward.Clutching （緊握） at her skirt was a tiny girl who stared into the camera，eyes wide with confusion and fear.
      The article that went with the picture gave the clothing sizes of each family member.With growing interest，I noticed that their sizes closely matched ours.This would be a good opportunity to teach my children to help those less fortunate than themselves.I stuck the picture of the young family on our refrigerator，explaining their difficulty to my seven-year-old twins，Brad and Brett，and to three-year-old Meghan.
  ‘ ‘These poor people now have nothing，" I said. "We'll share what we have with them.I brought three large boxes down from the room upstairs and placed them on the living room floor.Meghan watched seriously，as the boys and I filled one of the boxes with canned goods and foods.
      While I sorted through our clothes，I encouraged the boys to go through their toys and donate some of their less favorite things.Meghan watched quietly as the boys piled up old toys and games.
  Meghan walked up with Lucy，her worn，much-loved rag doll hugged tightly to her chest.She came to the box that held the toys，pressed her round little face into Lucy's flat，painted-on-face，gave her a final kiss，then laid her gently on top of the other toys.
      "Oh，Honey，" I said." You don't have to give Lucy.You love her so much."
      Meghan nodded seriously；eyes filled with held-back tears. "Lucy makes me happy，Mommy.Maybe she'll make that other little girl happy，too."
