Risks at Your Table
Some of the “everyday foods” we eat hide some unhealthy features, which most people ignore. We take a look at some of the health risks being served to you!
Energy Drinks
You’re tired and you still have to face a physical or mental stress, so what a better friend than an energy drink to overcome the effort However, most energy drinks contain chemicals that are harmful if taken in quantities, with effects that are similar to the ones from several other illegal drugs, smoking and alcohol consumption.
White Bread
White bread is poorer in fiber and protein than other bread alternatives. Fiber helps our body to understand when it has eaten enough. The sense of fullness is important if we don’t want an extra-consumption of calories.
Breakfast Cereals
Breakfast cereals (麦片) fill out lots of shelves in every supermarket you get inside. They’re one of the favorite foods for our first meal of the day, because they’re simply delicious. What many people are not aware of is that these products are loaded with GM (转基因) organisms which affect our immune system. If you really can’t separate yourselves from breakfast cereals, maybe you could start considering some organic breakfast cereal alternatives.

20-year-old Edgar McGregor decided to visit his local park, Eaton Canyon, day in and day out to pick up as much litter as he could it in two buckets (提桶). Now, over 589 days and 19,000 Twitter followers later, he is more passionate (热爱的) than ever about his task to save the planet!

On one particularly busy day, Edgar spent five hours picking up litter and came away with over 1,000 pounds of rubbish. Rain or shine, Edgar headed over to carry out his task. He worked through conditions like snowstorms, a record heat wave, and even a forest fire on the opposite side of the park.
The more he did, the more treasures he discovered. In addition to a lot of old iPhones and cans, Edgar collected enough recyclables to earn around 30 dollars every few weeks, which he would donate to nonprofits
Recently, Edgar began noticing that the top-littered areas in his park were becoming few and far between. At one point, he spent four hours moving around the park and only returned with two buckets. Edgar plans to return to Eaton Canyon two or three times a week to keep up with the maintenance, but he is excited to start expanding his reach to new locations.

Friends are important in our lives, but we sometimes have to separate from our friends. “A Farewell Song” is about saying goodbye to a friend. It is a famous poem by Wang Wei, a great poet, who lived in Tang Dynasty. He is good at writing poems and drawing. When talking about Wang Wei, people often say there are pictures in his poems and there are poems in his pictures. His poems are full of beauty and imagination

After a morning rain in spring, the road, the willows (柳树) and the hotel are completely different. The hotel looks green. The willows look fresh. Everything is nice, gentle and silent. Willow branches are considered as a typical symbol of farewell in China. In ancient times, Chinese people often used them as gifts when they said goodbye to their friends.
“I invite you to drink a cup of wine again” is the poet’s warm and real way of not wanting to say goodbye to his friend. Having another drink together is like a symbol of their goodbye. Lastly, “West of the sunny pass no more friends will be seen” shows the feeling of being alone and missing someone. It also shows his sincere love and care for his friend.

When we look at a lovely baby, a puppy or a really cute kitten, many of us want to squeeze it. Why is that
According to a study published in the journal Frontiers in Behavioral Neuroscience, it’s a typical experience of “cute aggression”. The experience results from the fight between the brain’s “emotion system”, which impels (驱使) people to squeeze cute things, and its “reward system” which deals with feelings of “wanting”.
In the study, 54 participants between the ages of 18 and 40 were presented with four groups of photos. Two of the groups of photos were of cute human babies and animals and the other two were of less adorable adult humans and animals. As the participants looked at the photos, there searchers watched their brain activities.
According to the researchers, the participants reward systems were found to be active as they looked at the cute babies, and they seemed to be overwhelmed (征服的). By contrast, the reward systems of the people looking at the less cute adults were found to be inactive, and they seemed to be less impelled by their reward systems.
This suggests that cute things activate their emotion systems in such a way that people are overwhelmed by the experience of cuteness. But reward systems work against these emotions by creating the desire to protect cute things.
As Katherine Stavropoulos, the lead researcher of this study at the University of California in the US told Science Alert, “The cute aggression is the brain’s way of ‘bringing us back down’ by balancing our feelings of being overwhelmed.”
Stavropoulos compared this process of balancing to an evolutionary adaptation. Such an adaptation may have taken place to ensure that people are able to continue taking care of creatures they consider particularly cute.
So, although cute babies and adorable animals may look completely helpless, their vulnerable (易受伤害的) appearance may in fact help them to survive.
According to the text, “cute aggression” refers to ______________.
the emotion of wanting to protect cute things
the task of emotion system and reward system
the adaptation of consistently taking care of cute creatures
the behavior of squeezing a cute baby or animal when seeing it
33. In nature, “cute aggression” is caused by ______________.
A. the need of the brain to balance all feelings
B. the photos of cute human babies and animals
C. the vulnerable appearance of babies or animals
D. the conflict between emotion system and reward system
34. Which of the following statements about the study is TRUE
A. Facial expressions of the participants were observed.
B. Katherine Stavropoulos conducted this study on her own.
C. Cute babies and animals affected brain activities of all the participants.
D. The participants were divided into two groups in order to make comparison.
35. What is the author’s purpose in writing this text
A. To persuade readers to protect cute animals.
B. To stress the significance of cute aggression.
C. To present research findings on cute aggression.
D. To share an interesting phenomenon with readers.

Letting Go of What Holds You Back
The truth is, we all only have a limited amount of time and energy each day. _____36_____ Does that sound familiar We’ve all been there ---- feeling overwhelmed, as if carrying a heavy load on our backs. Whether it’s physical stuff in your living space or metaphorical (比喻的) trash in life, it’s time for a spring cleaning.
_____37_____ To do one thing well, you must have the concentration and go all out.

Reflecting on our life, we’ve unconsciously collected mental and emotional “junk”. Maybe it’s excessive TV watching, continuous gaming, tiring friendships, aimless social media consumption. Honestly, I’ll bet we could all name at least one TV show we’ve been absorbed in out of boredom instead of doing something productive: So the first step is taking stock of exactly what’s weighing you down each day. Then it’s time to start de-junking, but go slow. _____38_____ Try dumping one thing per week so it’s manageable.
Another sneaky trick is to replace bad habits with good alternatives, like switching from endless browsing on social media to learning a new skill instead. _____39_____

A. Detail the time you spend on activities each week.
B. As a saying goes, jack (千斤顶) of all trades, master of none.

第二节 读后续写 (满分25分)
67、阅读下面材料，根据其内容和所给段落开头语续写两段，使之构成一个完整的短文。
“She wants a what ” barked the fruit seller. I was in one of the many street markets of Luzhou, a small city located in China’s Sichuan Province. Already, a crowd of curious on-lookers was gathering: white-haired grandmas, toothless old men, mothers holding infants. Everyone was waiting, wondering why the foreigner was causing such a fuss (大惊小怪).
I took a deep breath. The crowd leaned in. “Do you have a pumpkin ” I asked as clearly as possible. A mother holding an infant explained there was no pumpkin here in English. I had to move on to yet another market in my search for Halloween.
As an American English teacher in China, the urge was strong to explain my country’s cultural traditions to my students. I’d had plenty of success in teaching the Chinese about significant United States holidays and events, Halloween being one of them. Yet I was now in a new teaching position, in a different region of the country which seems to have every kind of produce known to man except the one I wanted for Oct.31.
I had learned that in teaching about Halloween, there was no substitute (替代品) for a carved pumpkin. Descriptions produced blank stares. Drawings were misinterpreted. Pictures only puzzled.
Sure, I could give up showing a real jack-o’-lantern (南瓜灯) to my students. I could lecture on the history of this tradition, which had its origin in old beliefs about the return of the spirits of dead people. We could have a go at wearing masks, and role-play trick-or-treat.
But nothing could compare with the pumpkin. For that reason, I was willing to go through just about anything to find a pumpkin for my students.
In another section of the city, I headed to a big market. “Do you have a pumpkin ” I asked the seller I saw. “A what ” she seemed to be at a loss. However, I didn’t know how to make her understand what I wanted.
