• 3．What are you watching？
     I love CBS's Everybody Loves Raymond.The characters are so real and the drama，though humorous，deals with serious questions of self-worth and how it plays out in family relationships.I especially love the parents and the older brother，Robert.Even when they're awful，you have to love them!
  ——Jennifer Quinn
     Too Cute airs on Animal Planet.You'll find yourself smiling and laughing at the funny stories of puppies and kittens（小狗和小貓） as they grow.Their interactions with other animals are fun，too.You've been warned!
  ——Neena Lurvey
     I am currently watching the Netflix series Ozark，which stars Jason Bateman and is now in its second season.The crime drama is set at Lake of the Ozarks in Missouri.Although the area in Georgia where the show is filmed looks nothing like the hugely popular Missouri tourist area the series portrays（描繪），it's one of the best crime dramas available.
  ——W.S.Blevins
     Solaris is one of my favorite movies to watch and rewatch.It is a sci-fi film based on a book by Stanislaw Lem and stars George Clooney.The film is set almost entirely on a space station orbiting the planet Solaris.Clooney's character struggles to work out and understand why mysterious things are happening to the people near Solaris.The film mainly consists of questions，both spoken and implied，none of which are really answered.The endings are many and are what the individual viewer wants them to be.

第三部分：書面表達（共兩節，32分）第一節（共1小題；第40、41題各2分，第42題3分，第43題5分，共12分）閱讀下面短文，根據題目要求用英語回答問題。請在答題卡指定區域作答。

• 8．Many scientists believe our love of sugar may actually be an addiction.When we eat or drink sugary foods，the sugar enters our blood and affects parts of our brain that make us feel good.Then the good feeling goes away，leaving us wanting more.All tasty foods do this，but sugar has a particularly strong effect.In this way，it is in fact an addictive drug，one that doctors suggest we all cut down on.
      "It seems like every time I study an illness and search for the first cause，I find my way back to sugar，" says scientist Richard Johnson.One-third of adults worldwide have high blood pressure，and up to 347 million have diabetes（糖尿病）.Why？ "Sugar，we believe is one of the culprits，if not the major reason，" says Johnson.
      Our bodies are designed to survive on very little sugar.Early humans often had very little food，so our bodies learned to be very efficient in storing sugar as fat.In this way，we had energy stored for when there was no food.But today，most people have more than enough.So the very thing that once saved us may now be killing us.
      So what is the solution？It's obvious that we need to eat less sugar.The trouble is，in today's world，it's extremely difficult to avoid.From breakfast cereals（谷物） to after-dinner desserts，our foods are increasingly filled with it.
      But there are those who are fighting back against sugar.Many schools are replacing sugary desserts with healthier food like fruit.Other schools are growing their own food in gardens，or building facilities（設施） like walking tracks so students and others in the community can exercise.
  
  （1）What is one of the reasons for high blood pressure？

  
  （2）Why did our bodies learn to store sugar as fat？

  
  （3）Please decide which part is false in the following statement，then underline it and explain why.
  —The sugar enters our blood and affects parts of our brain that make us feel good，so we should eat more in daily life.

  
  （4）In your daily life，how do you fight against sugar？ （In about 40 words）
