2．Beijing resident Hou Lixin started eating meal replacement products in February when she wanted to lose weight.She bought various meal replacement products online and ate them for more than a month.
"Most of them don't taste good，but at least they have low calories and are convenient to buy，store and cook，" she said，adding the product she consumed gave a strong sense of fullness.
Hou is by no means alone.Meal replacement products，or substitutes for regular meals that can fill you up with low-calorie intakes，appear as a potential big market in China，driven by Chinese consumer's demand for products that can help in weight control and offer convenience，experts said.
The most common meal replacement products include powders，liquids，shakes，porridges and energy bars containing fiber，protein，vitamin，minerals and other nutritious content.
The meal replacement market is at the early stage of competition and there is big room for future development，like in the United States and Japan.Euromonitor International，a market research company，said sales revenue of meal replacement products in China hit 57.17 billion yuan in 2017 and is expected to reach 120 billion yuan by 2022.More fast-moving consumer goods giants are partaking in the market action.PepsiCo's oat brand Quaker released a new shake product in June.A major Chinese snack brand Bestore released 27 meal replacement products in August.
Jia Jianbin，secretary general at Chinese Cereals and Oils Association，told CCTV reporter that despite its possible effectiveness that many people believe，this way of weight loss may bring greater harm as it breaks the balance of nutrition and food.As a result，it can only be a temporary move，not a long-term use.
"Cereal meal replacement powder，for example，is mainly composed of carbohydrates（碳水化合物），which have enough calories，but the vitamins and minerals are not enough.Instead，it is better to soak oatmeal （燕麥片） in milk，which may be more nutritious and more economical，" said Gu Zhongyi，a dietitian of the Beijing Dietetic Association. "Meal replacements can be an alternative for busy workers，but they are no substitute for a balanced diet，and try not to eat more than one meal a day."
（1）The author quotes the example of Hou Lixin to.
A．show an efficient way to lose weight
B．promote the meal replacement products
C．introduce the topic of meal replacement products
D．arouse readers' interest in the meal replacement products
（2）Why are meal replacement products popular among many Chinese consumers？
A．Because they are highly recommended by health experts.
B．Because they are helpful to control weight and bring convenience.
C．Because they have a large market share in the food market.
D．Because they provide various forms and flavors for the consumers.
（3）What does the underlined word "partaking" in Paragraph 5 mean？
A．Participating.
B．Advertising.
C．Experimenting.
D．Cooperating.
（4）What attitude do Jia Jianbin and Gu Zhongyi have towards the meal replacement products？
A．Cautious.
B．Favorable.
C．Disapproving.
D．Confused.組卷：16引用：3難度：0.7 -
3．Sometimes when she felt bored，she would pick up one of the numerous biographies（傳記）about herself and begin to note in. "I never did that" or "simply not true" she would write roughly in the margins at the sides of pages.Since journalists，biographers and more recently even "bloggers" had been writing about her since the day she was born，there was plenty of material to edit.Not that her notes or corrections were ever shared with the authors.Lately，however，she even seemed to have lost her appetite for correctness.Did it matter anymore if things were not right？
She knew that sitting alone chewing away on downbeat thoughts would not get her anywhere and would leave those around her confused and upset，should they ever catch her out.After all she was the decisive one，always on top of her game.A printed timetable for the following day lay on the table.A full day of openings and presentations，of smiling and nodding and flowers.
Shaking herself out of her gray mood，she stepped over towards the computer where a sudden burst of energy gave her an idea.The screen flashed up in front of her but instead of clicking on the familiar icons which would lead her to the emails Randolph considered she needed to read，she simply went to visit Mr.Google and began her search for train timetable.
A dish heaped with multi-coloured jellies and plenty of ice cream，served by a white-gloved train waiter with a perfect moustache.So many years had passed but she still remembered the jelly dissolving on her tongue in small but delicious mouthfuls.Each spoonful had to be lifted delicately to her mouth under the watched eye of her grandmother，who was a stickler for good manners.It was unlikely that they served jelly on the trains these days，what with all the concern about childhood fatness，but even a Spartan menu could not kill the romance of a train journey.As the timetable for Line-burst line flashed in front of her，she remembered that the Mayor of Alwoy would be expecting her to make a short，predictable speech at the opening of the now bridge.
（1）Which of the following can be inferred from the passage？
A．The main character is probably a journalist writing blogs about royal members.
B．The main character is always busy editing plenty of material about herself.
C．The authors probably had chances to get the notes or correctness from the main character.
D．Randolph is probably an assistant or a secretary to the main character.
（2）Why does the main character recall the time she ate jellies and ice cream？
A．She wishes that she were still a child so that she could eat jellies and ice cream.
B．She is reminded of these foods because the thought of a train journey reminds her of them.
C．She wishes she still knew where the handsome train waiter was.
D．Today's children aren't allowed to eat the same things that she ate as a child.
（3）A "Sparten menu"（paragraph 4）would most likely.
A．have mainly low fat，healthy foods
B．be suitable for a romantic dinner
C．include a range of sweets，but no jelly
D．include foods which are easy to transport
（4）What is most likely to happen next in this passage？
A．The main character will practise her speech for greeting the Mayor of Alwoy.
B．The main character will decide to take a rail journey.
C．Randolph will send some emails to the main character.
D．The main character will update her blog on the internet.組卷：17引用：4難度：0.5

9．閱讀下面短文，根據所給情節進行續寫，使之構成一個完整的故事。
Pumpkin（南瓜） carving at Halloween is a family tradition.We visit a local farm every October.In the pumpkin field，I compete with my three brothers and sister to seek out the biggest pumpkin.My dad has a rule that we have to carry our pumpkins back home，and as the eldest child I have an advantage-I carried an 85-pounder back last year.
This year，it was hard to tell whether my prize or the one chosen by my 14-year-old brother， Jason，was the winner.Unfortunately we forgot to weigh them before taking out their insides，but I was determined to prove my point.All of us were hard at work at the kitchen table，with my mum filming the annual event.I??m unsure now why I thought forcing my head inside the pumpkin would settle the matter，but it seemed to make perfect sense at the time.
With the pumpkin resting on the table，hole uppermost，I bent over and pressed my head against the opening.At first I got jammed just above my eyes and then，as I went on with my task，unwilling to quit，my nose briefly prevented entry.Finally I managed to put my whole head into it，like a cork（軟木塞） forced into a bottle.I was able to straighten up with the huge pumpkin resting on my shoulders.
My excitement was short-lived.The pumpkin was heavy. "I′m going to set it down，now，" I said，and with Jason helping to support its weight，I bent back over the table to give it somewhere to rest.It was only when I tried to remove my head that I realized getting out was going to be less straightforward than getting in.When I pulled hard，my nose got in the way.I got into a panic as I pressed firmly against the table and moved my head around trying to find the right angle，but it was no use. "I can't get it out!" I shouted，my voice sounding unnaturally loud in the enclosed space.
