17. Teacup dogs are becoming a popular fashion,but what many do not know is that teacup dogs are very often simply under-developed(發育不全的) dogs.They are produced in order to create the smallest dogs possible at any costs. Sometimes,teacup dogs are the result of breeding(繁殖) two very small dogs of a certain breed (品種).Giving birth to teacup dogs is extremely dangerous for the dogs and the mother.Because the mother is so small,she can only give birth to a few dogs and there are often birth diseases. Even worse,because teacup dogs are in such high demand and can be sold for such exorbitant prices,some people like to develop teacup dogs by any means.Some even produce purposely undeveloped dogs,or control the dogs' growth through methods like hunger. Because of teacup dogs' unnaturally mini size,they often face a lot of health issues.Their tiny bodies often are faced with so many stomach illnesses,resulting in the need to be fed small amounts,many times a day.Teacup dogs also often develop heart issues and health problems.They don't live nearly as long as standard dogs.Since teacup dogs face so many health issues,taking preventive measures is necessary,so you'll be visiting the animal doctor much more often and paying much more than you would with a regular dog. And because teacup dogs are so tiny,it's not uncommon for them to be accidentally killed by owners.A small drop or fall can injure them.Teacup dogs don't know their tininess,so they will jump up on couches,and walk right underfoot with no warning.There are few experiences as sad as accidentally crushing(壓壞) a beloved pet. While teacup dogs are becoming more popular,they are often treated as toys rather than living creatures.Teacup dogs often face short and painful lives,and their breeding should not be encouraged.

18.Rising global meat consumption is likely to have a destructive environmental effect,increasing carbon emissions (排放) and reducing biodiversitiy (生物多樣性),scientists have warned. A new analysis suggests that meat consumption is set to climb sharply as the world population increases along with average individual incomes. "What's happening is a big concern." said Tim Key from the University of Oxford."On a broad level can say it is bad for the environment." The review,published in the journal Science,found that high levels of meat consumption also have negative health consequences,leading to an increased risk of cancer and other diseases. The average amount of meat consumed per person globally has nearly doubled in the past 50 years,which means total meat production has been growing much faster than the rate of population growth,having increased four-or five-fold (五倍) since 1961. There are recent indications that some countries,including the UK,may have reached "peak meat".The UK's 2017 National Food Survey found meat consumption have fallen by 4.2% and that of meat products by nearly 7% since 2012.However,middle-income countries,particularly China and others in East Asia,are still seeing a rise.A recent review by the UN outlines how meat production-particularly livestock (家畜)-is linked to far higher carbon emissions than vegetables,fruit and grain. Livestock farming is also a major contribution to biodiversity loss,as forests and wild land are given over to agricultural land to grow animal feed. Processed meat has been ranked by the WHO alongside alcohol and tobacco as cancer causes.According to research of cancer,if no one ate processed or red meat in Britain,there would be 8,800 fewer cases of cancer a year.
(1)What's the environmental effect of eating meat?
A.Raising livestock may destroy grasslands and forests. B.Eating meat leads to the increase of human population. C.Meat production adds to the amount of carbon emissions on Earth. D.Keeping too much livestock destroys the balance of nature. (2)What does the underlined word "it" in Paragraph 3 refer to?
A.Eating huge amounts of meat. B.Increasing carbon emissions in the air. C.Reducing diversity of plants. D.Risking developing cancer. (3)How does livestock lead to biodiversity loss?
A.People farm forests and wild land to grow food for livestock. B.Plants and animals die from carbon released by livestock. C.Many plants and animals have become food for livestock. D.Farm animals have consumed what humans use for food. (4)How does the WHO value processed meat?
A.It's a necessary part of human diet. B.It's like cigarettes and alcohol which can cause cancer. C.It can reduce carbon release. D.It contributes to the fall of meat consumption.

20.The hike to the lost Incan city of Choquequirao is one of the most difficult in Peru.From the town of Cachora,which is 161km west of Cusco,it's an 18km walk to Capuliyoc Mountain,then down to Playa Rosalina,where travellers camp for the night.Waking early,travellers then have to cross the Apurímac River and walk uphill to camp close to the ruins.Then,the next morning,it's another 2km walk up to the ruins,3,100 m above sea level.To get back?Well,it's the same way you came. "I've had people in their 60s and 70s do it," said Juan Barrios,a guide from the Adventure Life company. "But some people come out thinking that because it's only 28km from the drop off they can do it in a day.Six or seven days for the hike is best." It makes sense,then,that Choquequirao draws only about 30 people a day during the high season(June through August).Compare that to the 2,500 people who arrive each day at the famous Incan city of Machu Picchu. But for those who make the journey,the rewards(回報)are great:beautiful mountain views at every turn,and the chance to explore the wonderful ruins nearly alone. Believed to be created around the same time as Machu Picchu,in 1445,Choquequirao is actually larger than better-known Machu Picchu.But very little has been written about Peru's other lost city and researchers are still uncovering new parts of the ruins,leaving life on the mountain relatively untouched. But officials say that the building of the first cable car(纜車)to Choquequirao will shorten the several-day walk to a 15-minute cable car ride.As a result,the number of travellers that now make the journey each week could turn into 3,000 visitors per day. Choquequirao is beautiful now because of how untouched it is.Even though the lost city was discovered by Spanish explorer Juan Arias Díaz in 1710,the ruins still make you feel as though you're the first to find them.Will it be the same when more travellers flood in (大量涌入)?
(1)What does the first paragraph centre on?
A.How tall Choquequirao is. B.How to get to Choquequirao easily. C.What great views Choquequirao has. D.How hard the trip to Choquequirao is. (2)In what way is Choquequirao different from Machu Picchu?
A.Choquequirao is older. B.Choquequirao is quieter. C.Choquequirao is smaller. D.Choquequirao is better known. (3)How are the ruins of Choquequirao?
A.They're still being dug out. B.They're in a generally poor condition. C.They're being renewed at the moment. D.They've been researched internationally. (4)What does the author think of Choquequirao in the future?
A.It will be more attractive. B.It will develop at a slow speed. C.It won't necessarily take a turn for the better. D.It won't be more popular than Machu Picchu.
