A new study finds that experimenting with skipping one meal each day enables your cells to recharge and use all the available fuel, which ensures insulin (胰岛素) function remains at its peak the next morning.
The research found that body weight, measured by body mass index (BMI 体重指数), corresponds with when we eat and how often we eat. Specifically, people who eat larger breakfasts and adopt an 18-hour overnight fast (禁食), say from 1 pm to 7 am, have the lowest body weights. Those who ate more than three meals, or three meals plus snacks, had higher BMIs. Those who ate later in the day, after 6 pm, compared to those having the largest meal at breakfast or lunch, had higher body weights.
The Loma Linda University researchers assume that 18-hour overnight dietary fasts reboot our metabolisms to help our bodies burn calories efficiently. Lead author Dr Hana Kahleova, director of clinical research at the nonprofit Physicians Committee, says this process ensures that our energy intake is related to energy output, instead of energy reserves. Contrary to popular belief, these extended overnight fasts seem to help boost metabolic function. Kahleova also finds
meals consumed in the evening compared to those eaten in the morning, result in raised blood sugar. Like a clog (障碍) in a machine, extra glucose (葡萄糖) slows our bodies’ metabolic process down.
What does this mean to you Let’s say you consume 1,500 to 1,800 calories a day. Instead of splitting 500 to 600 calories evenly at each meal, you could experiment with eating 600 to 700 calories for breakfast, 600 to 700 calories for lunch and 300 to 400 calorie for a light dinner. A more moderate application of this research may be to have big brunches or breakfasts instead of holiday dinners and evening birthday parties to support long-term weight maintenance.
4. What makes for the lowest BMIs according to the research
A. Eating three meals evenly on a regular basis.
B. Having a larger portion of breakfast plus snacks.
C. Starting an 18-hour overnight fast after a big breakfast.
D. Skipping breakfast and eating more at lunch and dinner.
5. What will Dr Hana Kahleova probably agree
A. Overnight fasts boost metabolism to lose weight efficiently.
B. The finding of the study is consistent with the common belief.
C. The process breaks the balance of energy intake and energy output.
D. Breakfast is more likely to increase blood sugar compared to dinner.
6. What can we learn from the research
A. We should adopt the fasting approach to the maximum.
B. We can continue holiday dinners and evening birthday parties.
C. It’s worse to eat low-calorie meals and work out in the morning.
D. It’s better to rearrange meals and consume more calories in the morning.
7. Which of the following would be the best title for the passage
A. The Way Human Energy Systems Operate
B. Can Skipping Dinner Help You Lose Weight
C. Can Fasts Slow Down Your Bodies’ Metabolic Process
D. The importance Of Maintaining A Healthy Body Weight
【答案】4. C 5. A 6. A 7. B
【解析】
【分析】这是一篇说明文。一项研究发现：每天少吃一顿饭的实验能够使你的细胞充电和使用所有可用的燃料，这保证了胰岛素的功能在第二天早上保持在最佳状态。
【4题详解】
细节理解题。根据第二段中“Specifically, people who eat larger breakfasts and adopt an 18-hour overnight fast (禁食), say from 1 pm to 7 am, have the lowest body weights. ”（具体来说，那些吃更大份的早餐，并坚持18小时通宵禁食的人，比如说从下午1点到早上7点，体重最低。）可知，对于那些吃更大份的早餐后并坚持18小时通宵禁食的人来说，体重最低。选项C与文意相符，故选C。
【5题详解】
推理判断题。根据第三段中“Contrary to popular belief, these extended overnight fasts seem to help boost metabolic function.”（与流行的观点相反，这些延长的隔夜禁食似乎有助于提高新陈代谢功能。）可知，在Dr Hana Kahleova看来，这些禁食对新陈代谢功能的提升是有帮助的。选项A. “Overnight fasts boost metabolism to lose weight efficiently.”（隔夜禁食能促进新陈代谢，有效减肥。）与文意相符，故选A。
【6题详解】
推理判断题。根据最后一段中“Let’s say you consume 1,500 to 1,800 calories a day. Instead of splitting 500 to 600 calories ...to support long-term weight maintenance.”（假设你每天吃1500到1800卡路里。不是平均分配每餐500到600卡路里，你可以尝试早餐摄入600到700卡路里，午餐摄入600到700卡路里，晚餐摄入300到400卡路里。这项研究的一个更温和的应用可能是吃丰盛的早午餐或早餐，而不是节日晚餐和晚上的生日聚会，以支持长期的体重保持。）可推知，早上最好重新安排膳食，摄入更多卡路里。对长期的体重保持是有好处的。选项A与文意相符，故选A。
【7题详解】
主旨大意题。根据第一段“A new study finds that experimenting with skipping one meal each day enables your cells to recharge and use all the available fuel, which ensures insulin (胰岛素) function remains at its peak the next morning. ”（一项新的研究发现，每天少吃一顿饭的实验能够使你的细胞充电和使用所有可用的燃料，这保证了胰岛素的功能在第二天早上保持在最佳状态。）同时结合第三段中的研究表述可知，本文主要讲述了每天少吃一顿饭是可以帮助身体的新陈代谢，达到有效减肥。所以文章的标题可以为“不吃饭能帮你减肥吗？”选项B与文意相符，故选B。
C
When you walk on a sandy beach, it takes more energy than walking down a sidewalk—because the weight of your body pushes into the sand. It turns out that the same thing is true for vehicles driving on roads.
“The weight of the vehicles creates a very shallow indentation in the pavement—and it makes it such that it's continuously driving up a very shallow hill,” said Jeremy Gregory, a scientist at M. I. T...He modeled with his teammates how much energy could be saved-and greenhouse gases avoided—by simply hardening the nation's roads and highways.
And they found that hardening 10 percent of the nation's roads every year could prevent emissions equal to 440 megatons of carbon dioxide over the next 5 decades—that amount is equal to how much CO, you'd spare the planet by keeping a billion barrels of oil in the ground or by growing 7 billion trees for a decade. It reduces 0.5% of projected transportation emissions over that time period.
As for how to harden roads, Gregory says you could combine small amounts of certain fiber with high technology into paving materials. Or you could pave with specially-made concrete, which is harder than ordinary construction materials.
This system could also be a way to shave carbon emissions without some of the usual barriers. “Usually, when it comes to reducing emissions in the transportation department, you're talking about changing policies related to vehicles and also driver behavior, which involves millions and millions of people—as opposed to changing the way we design and preserve our pavements. That's just on the order of thousands of people who are working in transportation agencies.” And when it comes to improving our streets and highways-those agencies are where you might say the rubber meets the road.
8. How does the author develop Paragraph 3
A. By giving examples. B. By making classification.
C. By listing figures D. By analyzing causes.
9. What does Gregory suggest for hardening roads
A. Mixing fiber with special concrete. B. Changing regular paving materials.
C. Creating hi-tech computer models. D. Using ordinary building materials.
10. What is an advantage of the road-hardening system
A. It reduces construction costs. B. It profits transportation agencies.
C. It regulates driver behavior. D. It avoids involving too many people.
11. What can be a suitable title for the text
A. Walking Down Beaches or Sidewalks B. Hardening Roads Helps Save Energy.
C. How to Cut Down Carbon Emissions D. A System of Hardening Roads.
【答案】8. C 9. B 10. D 11. B
【解析】
【分析】这是一篇说明文。文章主要说明了对道路进行硬化可以减少二氧化碳的排放，更节省能源。介绍了这种措施的优势和操作方式。
【8题详解】
推理判断题。根据第三段“And they found that hardening 10 percent of the nation's roads every year could prevent emissions equal to 440 megatons of carbon dioxide over the next 5 decades—that amount is equal to how much CO, you'd spare the planet by keeping a billion barrels of oil in the ground or by growing 7 billion trees for a decade. It reduces 0.5% of projected transportation emissions over that time period.(他们发现，每年对全国10%的道路进行硬化，可以在未来50年内防止相当于440兆吨二氧化碳的排放——这个数量相当于你将10亿桶石油留在地下或在十年内种植70亿棵树，就可以使地球免受多少二氧化碳。它减少了该时间段内预计交通排放的0.5%)”可推知，作者通过列数字展开第三段。故选C。
【9题详解】
细节理解题。根据第四段中“Or you could pave with specially-made concrete, which is harder than ordinary construction materials.(或者你可以用比普通建筑材料更硬的特制混凝土铺路)”可知，Gregory建议硬化道路更换常规铺装材料。故选B。
【10题详解】
细节理解题。根据最后一段中“This system could also be a way to shave carbon emissions without some of the usual barriers. “Usually, when it comes to reducing emissions in the transportation department, you're talking about changing policies related to vehicles and also driver behavior, which involves millions and millions of people—as opposed to changing the way we design and preserve our pavements. That's just on the order of thousands of people who are working in transportation agencies.”(这一系统也可能是一种减少碳排放的方法，而不存在一些常见的障碍。“通常，当涉及到交通部门的减排时，你谈论的是改变与车辆和司机行为相关的政策，这涉及到数百万人，而不是改变我们的设计和保护人行道的方式。这只是成千上万在运输机构工作的人的要求。” )”可知，道路硬化系统的优点是可以避免涉及太多的人。故选D。
【11题详解】
主旨大意题。根据第二段中“He modeled with his teammates how much energy could be saved-and greenhouse gases avoided—by simply hardening the nation's roads and highways.(他和他的队友们一起模仿，仅仅通过加固国家的公路和高速公路，就可以节省多少能源，并避免温室气体的排放)”结合文章主要说明了对道路进行硬化可以减少二氧化碳的排放，更节省能源。介绍了这种措施的优势和操作方式。可知，B选项“硬化道路有助于节约能源”最符合文章标题。故选B。
D
Whether you’re interested in green agriculture and rainforest conservation or supporting sustainable sources, organizations worldwide are investing time and effort into various environmental protection projects. Volunteers are always needed to help with the different initiatives to protect the environment.
The past years have been bothered by an endless report of natural disasters occurring in geographically weak locations. Floods are affecting the places that previously never faced this problem while heat waves, droughts and earthquakes are becoming the norm (常态). Important wildlife and plant species are disappearing and threatening the planet’s biodiversity. According to the World Wildlife Fund (WWF), there are other problems: deforestation (毁林), pollution, water scarcity, illegal fishing and wildlife trade.
The ongoing industrialization and the lack of awareness are taking its toll (毁坏) and it’s time for that to change. Most people remain inactive, believing small changes won’t make a difference. However, there are many ways to help. Small changes carried out by some people do make a difference.
Excellent examples of this are organizations that believe small initiatives have a significant impact. These projects are growing steadily and positively affecting the environmental conservation and influencing the local community. They are creating awareness among others and helping them understand the importance of environmental conservation while creating volunteer opportunities to help the environment.
The organizations will learn valuable skills about environmental conservation but most importantly, they are moving towards change. There are enough environmental volunteer opportunities that need your help and there’s no time to waste! Continue reading about environmental volunteer programs abroad and take steps toward environmental conservation.
There are plenty of options once you decide to become an environmental volunteer. The tasks will depend on the project you have decided to volunteer with and can vary greatly. With over 130 projects focused on the environment, you’ll find projects that match both your skill set and travel preference.
12. What does paragraph 2 mainly talk about
A. The threats the earth is facing.
B. The influence of natural disasters.
C. The need to know natural disasters.
D. The difficulty in protecting the earth.
13. How do most people behave towards environmental problems
A. They make small changes. B. They help each other.
C. They keep sitting by. D. They try to find ways.
14. What can we learn from the text
A. It’s easier said than done. B. It’ll be all right on the night.
C. Where there’s life, there’s hope. D. There is no time like the present.
15. What’s the main purpose of the text
A. To call on people to be environmental volunteers.
B. To show the serious problems of the environment.
C. To discuss the ways of environmental conservation.
D. To explain the reasons for protecting the environment.
【答案】12. A 13. C 14. D 15. A
【解析】
【分析】本文是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍了地球正面临的环境威胁，并且呼吁人们积极参与到保护环境的志愿活动中。
【12题详解】
主旨大意题。通过文章第二段“heat waves, droughts and earthquakes are becoming the norm (热浪、干旱和地震正在成为常态)”和“threatening the planet’s biodiversity (威胁着地球的生物多样性)”以及“there are other problems: deforestation, pollution, water scarcity, illegal fishing and wildlife trade (毁林、污染、缺水、非法捕鱼和野生动物贸易)”可知，本段主要介绍了地球正面临的威胁。故选A项。
【13题详解】
推理判断题。通过文章第三段“Most people remain inactive, believing small changes won’t make a difference. (大多数人都不积极，认为小的改变不会有什么不同)”可知，大多数人都认为个体无力改变大环境，从而推知，他们对于环境问题都袖手旁观。故选C项。
【14题详解】
推理判断题。通过文章第五段“There are enough environmental volunteer opportunities that need your help and there’s no time to waste! (有许多成为环保志愿者的机会，需要你的帮助，我们现在没有时间可以浪费了)”可推知，目前的环境情况已经不容乐观，没有时间去浪费了,即没有比现在更好的时机了。故选D项。
【15题详解】
推理判断题。通读全文，再根据文章首段“Volunteers are always needed to help with the different initiatives to protect the environment. (始终需要志愿者帮助开展各种保护环境的活动)”以及第五段“There are enough environmental volunteer opportunities that need your help (有许多成为环保志愿者的机会，需要你的帮助)”可推知，本文主要通过介绍地球正面临的环境威胁，呼吁人们积极参与到保护环境的志愿活动中。故选A项。
第二节(共5小题;每小题2.5分，满分12.5分)
根据短文内容，从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。
You've got mail…and it's a postcard
Paulo Magalhaes, a 34-year-old Portuguese computer engineer, loves to open his mailbox and find a brightly colored picture of Rome's Colosseum. Or Africa's Victoria Falls. Or China's Great Wall. ___16___
"I often send postcards to family and friends." he says to China Daily, "but you can imagine that after a while, you never receive as many as you send, and you realize that not everyone is into it ___17___ ” Seeking other like-minded souls, however, Paulo started looking in a somewhat unlikely place: online. Many would say the Internet is a place for people who have given up on the traditional postal service, but Paulo's hunch（直觉）paid off.
Today his hobby has developed into the website , a social network that has grown to 575,217 registered users in 214 countries and regions since he started it 10 years ago. ___18___ Running the website has almost turned into a full-time job.
Language is certainly a harrier for many people. For postcrossing to work worldwide, a common communication language is needed so that everyone can understand each other. As cool as it may be to receive a postcard written in Chinese, the concept doesn't work if one doesn't understand it. ___19___ So a common language is required and in postcrossing that's English since it's widely spoken.
"Many people in China have limited exposure to English. ___20___ That said, we know of many postcrossing members, including Chinese, who have actually improved their English skills through their use of postcrossing," Paulo says.
A. And that's totally fine
B. That makes it extra hard to learn and practice it
C. He likes to think of sending postcards as a family-friendly hobby
D. Many love to make a connection with someone from across the world.
E. On August 5, the number of postcards exchanged by members topped 31 million.
F. Similarly, if you speak only Chinese, receiving a card in Swedish takes part of the fun away.
G. In short, he loves postcards, and the excitement of getting a hand-written note from someone far away.
【答案】16. G 17. A 18. E 19. F 20. B
【解析】
【分析】本文是一篇说明文。主要介绍了Paulo Magalhaes创建过程及其现状。Paulo Magalhaes非常喜欢明信片但是苦于身边没有与他志趣相投的人，于是他开始从网上寻求志同道合的人，因而创立了。随着公司在全球不断壮大，语言成为沟通的主要障碍，后来英语被选为共同语言方便大家交流。
【16题详解】
上文“Paulo Magalhaes, a 34-year-old Portuguese computer engineer, loves to open his mailbox and find a brightly colored image of Rome's Colosseum. Or Africa's Victoria Falls. Or China’s Great Wall.( 34岁的葡萄牙电脑工程师Paulo Magalhaes喜欢打开他的邮箱，然后发现一个色彩鲜艳的罗马斗牛场图像。或者非洲的维多利亚瀑布。或者是中国的长城)”介绍了Paulo喜欢明信片的个人爱好。下文“... and you realize that not everyone is into it.”说明他身边缺少与他志趣相投的人。选项G“In short, he loves postcards, and the excitement of getting a scribbled note from someone far away.(简而言之，他喜欢明信片，也喜欢收到远方某人潦草的便条时的那种兴奋)”起到承上启下的作用，总结了上文Paulo喜欢明信片，也引出下文关于他的喜好得不到回应的问题。故选G项。
【17题详解】
上文““I often send postcards to family and friends." he says to China Daily, “but you can imagine that after a while, you never receive as many as you send, and you realize that not everyone is into it(“我经常给家人和朋友寄明信片， ”他说，“但你可以想象，过一段时间，你收到明信片不会像你寄的那么多，而且你意识到并不是每个人都喜欢这样。”)”说明Paulo意识到身边的亲人和朋友不是都和他有相同的爱好，因此他也很坦然接受这个事实，因此选项A“那完全没问题”符合语境。故选A项。
【18题详解】
上文“Today his hobby has evolved into the website , a social network that has grown to 575,217 registered users in 214 countries and regions since he launched it 10 years ago.(如今，他的这个爱好已经发展成了这个社交网站。自从10年前他创建这个网站以来，已经有来自214个国家和地区的575217名注册用户)”是在介绍目前网站的发展状况，因此符合文意的只有E选项“8月5日，会员互赠的明信片数量达到3100万张”是在介绍该网站相关的数据。故选E项。
【19题详解】
上文“As cool as it may be to receive a postcard written in Chinese, the concept doesn't work if one doesn't understand it.(收到一张用中文写的明信片可能很酷，但如果你不理解它，这个概念就行不通)”是举例说明他国人收到中文明信片时的问题。选项F“Similarly, if you speak only Chinese, receiving a card written in Swedish takes part of the fun away.(同样地，如果你只会说中文，收到瑞典语的卡片也会夺走一部分乐趣)”是举例说明中国人收到他国语言明信片时也会遇到相同的问题。两句相结合，符合结论句的语义要求，故选F项。
【20题详解】
上文“Many people in China have limited exposure to English.(许多中国人很少能接触到英语)”说明对某些人来说学习英语的门槛较高。结合下文“... who actually improved their English skills through their use of postcrossing.(他们实际上通过使用明信片来提高他们的英语技能)”可知，写明信片成为一种练习英语的渠道。因此选项B “这使得学习和练习它变得格外困难 ”符合语境要求，说明对一些人来说学习和练习英语的难度较高，因为渠道较少。故选B项。

37. delivered
38. an 39. awareness
40. has doubled
41. on 42. linking
43. generally
44. while 45. effective
【解析】
【分析】这是一篇说明文。世界卫生组织发布的一份报告显示，超过80%的城市居民暴露在不安全的空气中。报告还敦促地方政府采取更有力和有效的措施对抗空气污染。
【36题详解】
考查时态语态。句意：世界卫生组织发布的一份报告显示，超过80%的城市居民暴露在不安全的空气中。本句在陈述事实，所以为一般现在时，主语More than 80% of people与谓语expose为被动关系，所以本句为一般现在时的被动语态。故填are exposed。
【37题详解】
考查非谓语动词。句意：世界卫生组织发布的一份报告显示，超过80%的城市居民暴露在不安全的空气中。结合上题分析，本句已经有谓语，空处填非谓语，a report 与deliver在逻辑上是被动关系，所以用过去分词作后置定语。故填delivered。
【38题详解】
考查冠词。句意：世界卫生组织公共卫生和环境政策主任玛丽亚·内拉博士说:“城市空气污染继续以惊人的速度增长，严重危害了人类健康。rate为可数名词，本句表示泛指“以一种惊人的速度增长 ”，alarming首字母的发音为元音音素。 故填an。
39题详解】
考查名词。句意：与此同时，人们的意识也在提高，越来越多的城市开始监控自己的空气质量。空处填名词awareness作主语，不可数名词。 故填awareness。
【40题详解】
考查时态。句意：在过去两年里，监测空气污染的城市数量翻了一番，现在覆盖了103个国家的约3000个城市。根据“In the past two years”可知。本句为现在完成时，the number of cities作主语，谓语动词为单数第三人称。 故填has doubled。
【41题详解】
考查介词。句意：世界卫生组织警告称，糟糕的空气质量可能会对城市居民的健康造成严重影响，并将其与中风、心脏病、肺癌和许多其他疾病的风险联系起来。have effects on“对…...有影响”为固定短语。故填on。
【42题详解】
考查非谓语动词。句意：世界卫生组织警告称，糟糕空气质量可能会对城市居民的健康造成严重影响，并将其与中风、心脏病、肺癌和许多其他疾病的风险联系起来。本句已经有谓语动词，空处填非谓动词，与前面逻辑主语the serious effects在逻辑上是主动关系，所以用现在分词。故填linking。
【43题详解】
考查副词。句意：报告还显示，中低收入国家的空气质量普遍较差。副词generally修饰动词have。 故填generally。
【44题详解】
考查连词。句意：收入和中等收入国家人口在10万或以上的城市中，约98%的城市不符合世卫组织的空气质量准则，而高收入国家中有56%的城市不符合标准。根据句意可知，前后句子表示对比关系，连词应为while。故填while。
【45题详解】
考查形容词。句意：该报告还敦促地方政府采取更有力和有效的措施对抗空气污染。形容词effective修饰名词measures。故填effective。

【答案】 My sports story
In common with many young people, I used to lead an unhealthy life, such as staying up late, preferring fast food, disliking sports, etc. As a result, I fell ill easily lacking energy, which greatly affected my study and life.

Instead of rarely working out, I made it a rule to run every day. What's more, I ate a healthy, balanced diet, instead of being free to enjoy junk food.
Finally, I stopped staying up late and enjoying myself by eating unhealthy food.Instead, I kept going for a jog at least half an hour daily. Now, I'm crazy about jogging. Thanks to it, I become both more energetic and healthier.

47. 阅读下面材料，根据其内容和所给段落开头语续写两段，使之构成一篇完整的短文。
Wylie lived in Scotland, far up on the hills, and helped her master take care of his sheep.
Wylie watched over the sheep and the little lambs like a soldier, and never let anything hurt them. She drove them out to pasture when it was time, and brought them safely home when it was time for that. She loved her work, and was a wonderfully fine sheepdog.
At last her master grew too old to stay alone on the hills. Before he left, he gave Wylie to two kind young men who lived in the nearest town; he knew they would be good to her. They grew very fond of her, and so did their old grandmother and the little children; she was so gentle and handsome and well behaved.
But after a while, the family noticed something very strange indeed about their dog. Every single Tuesday night, about nine o’clock. Wylie disappeared. And she would be gone all night. But every Wednesday morning, she was at the door, waiting to be let in. Her silky coat was all sweaty and muddy and her feet heavy with weariness, but her bright eyes looked up at her masters as if she were trying to explain where she had been.
Week after week, the same thing happened. Nobody could imagine where Wylie went every Tuesday night. They tried to follow her to find out, but she always slipped away. It grew to be a real mystery. Where in the world did Wylie go
In the city near the town where the kind young men lived was a big market. On Tuesday nights, the farmers used to come down from the hills, and drive their sheep through the city streets into the pens, ready to sell on Wednesday morning; that was the day they sold them. The sheep weren’t used to the city noises and sights, and they always grew afraid and wild, and gave the farmers and the sheepdogs a great deal of trouble. They broke away and ran about, in everybody’s way.
注意：
1、所续写短文的词数应为150以上；
2、请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。
But just as the trouble was worst, about sunrise, the farmers would see a little silky dog come running.
_________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
One day, Wylie went to walk with her two masters.
_________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
【答案】Para 1:
But just as the trouble was worst, about sunrise, the farmers would see a little silky dog come running. In and out the little dog ran like the wind, round and about, always in the right place, driving the sheep mind like a good school-teacher and never frightening them, till they were all safely in! All the other dogs together could not do as much as the little strange dog. As soon as her work was done, she was off and away like a fairy dog. Week after week, this happened and nobody knew who the little strange dog was.
Para 2:
One day, Wylie went to walk with her two masters. They happened to meet some sheep farmers. The farmers stopped short and stared at Wylie, and then they cried out, “Why, that’s the dog!” And so it was. The little strange dog who helped with the sheep was Wylie. Her masters, of course, didn’t know what the farmers meant till they were told all. But when hearing about the pretty strange dog, who came to market alone, they knew at last where Wylie went every Tuesday night. And they loved her better than ever.

A new study finds that experimenting with skipping one meal each day enables your cells to recharge and use all the available fuel, which ensures insulin (胰岛素) function remains at its peak the next morning.
The research found that body weight, measured by body mass index (BMI 体重指数), corresponds with when we eat and how often we eat. Specifically, people who eat larger breakfasts and adopt an 18-hour overnight fast (禁食), say from 1 pm to 7 am, have the lowest body weights. Those who ate more than three meals, or three meals plus snacks, had higher BMIs. Those who ate later in the day, after 6 pm, compared to those having the largest meal at breakfast or lunch, had higher body weights.
The Loma Linda University researchers assume that 18-hour overnight dietary fasts reboot our metabolisms to help our bodies burn calories efficiently. Lead author Dr Hana Kahleova, director of clinical research at the nonprofit Physicians Committee, says this process ensures that our energy intake is related to energy output, instead of energy reserves. Contrary to popular belief, these extended overnight fasts seem to help boost metabolic function. Kahleova also finds
meals consumed in the evening compared to those eaten in the morning, result in raised blood sugar. Like a clog (障碍) in a machine, extra glucose (葡萄糖) slows our bodies’ metabolic process down.
What does this mean to you Let’s say you consume 1,500 to 1,800 calories a day. Instead of splitting 500 to 600 calories evenly at each meal, you could experiment with eating 600 to 700 calories for breakfast, 600 to 700 calories for lunch and 300 to 400 calorie for a light dinner. A more moderate application of this research may be to have big brunches or breakfasts instead of holiday dinners and evening birthday parties to support long-term weight maintenance.
4. What makes for the lowest BMIs according to the research
A. Eating three meals evenly on a regular basis.
B. Having a larger portion of breakfast plus snacks.
C. Starting an 18-hour overnight fast after a big breakfast.
D. Skipping breakfast and eating more at lunch and dinner.
5. What will Dr Hana Kahleova probably agree
A. Overnight fasts boost metabolism to lose weight efficiently.
B. The finding of the study is consistent with the common belief.
C. The process breaks the balance of energy intake and energy output.
D. Breakfast is more likely to increase blood sugar compared to dinner.
6. What can we learn from the research
A. We should adopt the fasting approach to the maximum.
B. We can continue holiday dinners and evening birthday parties.
C. It’s worse to eat low-calorie meals and work out in the morning.
D. It’s better to rearrange meals and consume more calories in the morning.
7. Which of the following would be the best title for the passage
A. The Way Human Energy Systems Operate
B. Can Skipping Dinner Help You Lose Weight
C. Can Fasts Slow Down Your Bodies’ Metabolic Process
D. The importance Of Maintaining A Healthy Body Weight
C
When you walk on a sandy beach, it takes more energy than walking down a sidewalk—because the weight of your body pushes into the sand. It turns out that the same thing is true for vehicles driving on roads.
“The weight of the vehicles creates a very shallow indentation in the pavement—and it makes it such that it's continuously driving up a very shallow hill,” said Jeremy Gregory, a scientist at M. I. T...He modeled with his teammates how much energy could be saved-and greenhouse gases avoided—by simply hardening the nation's roads and highways.
And they found that hardening 10 percent of the nation's roads every year could prevent emissions equal to 440 megatons of carbon dioxide over the next 5 decades—that amount is equal to how much CO, you'd spare the planet by keeping a billion barrels of oil in the ground or by growing 7 billion trees for a decade. It reduces 0.5% of projected transportation emissions over that time period.
As for how to harden roads, Gregory says you could combine small amounts of certain fiber with high technology into paving materials. Or you could pave with specially-made concrete, which is harder than ordinary construction materials.
This system could also be a way to shave carbon emissions without some of the usual barriers. “Usually, when it comes to reducing emissions in the transportation department, you're talking about changing policies related to vehicles and also driver behavior, which involves millions and millions of people—as opposed to changing the way we design and preserve our pavements. That's just on the order of thousands of people who are working in transportation agencies.” And when it comes to improving our streets and highways-those agencies are where you might say the rubber meets the road.
8. How does the author develop Paragraph 3
A. By giving examples. B. By making classification.
C. By listing figures D. By analyzing causes.
9. What does Gregory suggest for hardening roads
A. Mixing fiber with special concrete. B. Changing regular paving materials.
C. Creating hi-tech computer models. D. Using ordinary building materials.
10. What is an advantage of the road-hardening system
A. It reduces construction costs. B. It profits transportation agencies.
C. It regulates driver behavior. D. It avoids involving too many people.
11. What can be a suitable title for the text
A. Walking Down Beaches or Sidewalks B. Hardening Roads Helps Save Energy.
C. How to Cut Down Carbon Emissions D. A System of Hardening Roads.
D
Whether you’re interested in green agriculture and rainforest conservation or supporting sustainable sources, organizations worldwide are investing time and effort into various environmental protection projects. Volunteers are always needed to help with the different initiatives to protect the environment.
The past years have been bothered by an endless report of natural disasters occurring in geographically weak locations. Floods are affecting the places that previously never faced this problem while heat waves, droughts and earthquakes are becoming the norm (常态). Important wildlife and plant species are disappearing and threatening the planet’s biodiversity. According to the World Wildlife Fund (WWF), there are other problems: deforestation (毁林), pollution, water scarcity, illegal fishing and wildlife trade.
The ongoing industrialization and the lack of awareness are taking its toll (毁坏) and it’s time for that to change. Most people remain inactive, believing small changes won’t make a difference. However, there are many ways to help. Small changes carried out by some people do make a difference.
Excellent examples of this are organizations that believe small initiatives have a significant impact. These projects are growing steadily and positively affecting the environmental conservation and influencing the local community. They are creating awareness among others and helping them understand the importance of environmental conservation while creating volunteer opportunities to help the environment.
The organizations will learn valuable skills about environmental conservation but most importantly, they are moving towards change. There are enough environmental volunteer opportunities that need your help and there’s no time to waste! Continue reading about environmental volunteer programs abroad and take steps toward environmental conservation.
There are plenty of options once you decide to become an environmental volunteer. The tasks will depend on the project you have decided to volunteer with and can vary greatly. With over 130 projects focused on the environment, you’ll find projects that match both your skill set and travel preference.
12. What does paragraph 2 mainly talk about
A. The threats the earth is facing.
B. The influence of natural disasters.
C. The need to know natural disasters.
D. The difficulty in protecting the earth.
13. How do most people behave towards environmental problems
A. They make small changes. B. They help each other.
C. They keep sitting by. D. They try to find ways.
14. What can we learn from the text
A. It’s easier said than done. B. It’ll be all right on the night.
C. Where there’s life, there’s hope. D. There is no time like the present.
15. What’s the main purpose of the text
A. To call on people to be environmental volunteers.
B. To show the serious problems of the environment.
C. To discuss the ways of environmental conservation.
D. To explain the reasons for protecting the environment.

You've got mail…and it's a postcard
Paulo Magalhaes, a 34-year-old Portuguese computer engineer, loves to open his mailbox and find a brightly colored picture of Rome's Colosseum. Or Africa's Victoria Falls. Or China's Great Wall. ___16___
"I often send postcards to family and friends." he says to China Daily, "but you can imagine that after a while, you never receive as many as you send, and you realize that not everyone is into it ___17___ ” Seeking other like-minded souls, however, Paulo started looking in a somewhat unlikely place: online. Many would say the Internet is a place for people who have given up on the traditional postal service, but Paulo's hunch（直觉）paid off.
Today his hobby has developed into the website , a social network that has grown to 575,217 registered users in 214 countries and regions since he started it 10 years ago. ___18___ Running the website has almost turned into a full-time job.
Language is certainly a harrier for many people. For postcrossing to work worldwide, a common communication language is needed so that everyone can understand each other. As cool as it may be to receive a postcard written in Chinese, the concept doesn't work if one doesn't understand it. ___19___ So a common language is required and in postcrossing that's English since it's widely spoken.
"Many people in China have limited exposure to English. ___20___ That said, we know of many postcrossing members, including Chinese, who have actually improved their English skills through their use of postcrossing," Paulo says.
A. And that's totally fine
B. That makes it extra hard to learn and practice it
C. He likes to think of sending postcards as a family-friendly hobby
D. Many love to make a connection with someone from across the world.
E. On August 5, the number of postcards exchanged by members topped 31 million.
F. Similarly if you speak only Chinese, receiving a card in Swedish takes part of the fun away.
G. In short, he loves postcards, and the excitement of getting a hand-written note from someone far away.

Wylie lived in Scotland, far up on the hills, and helped her master take care of his sheep.
Wylie watched over the sheep and the little lambs like a soldier and never let anything hurt them. She drove them out to pasture when it was time, and brought them safely home when it was time for that. She loved her work, and was a wonderfully fine sheepdog.
At last her master grew too old to stay alone on the hills. Before he left, he gave Wylie to two kind young men who lived in the nearest town; he knew they would be good to her.

Week after week, the same thing happened. Nobody could imagine where Wylie went every Tuesday night. They tried to follow her to find out, but she always slipped away. It grew to be a real mystery. Where in the world did Wylie go
In the city near the town where the kind young men lived was a big market. On Tuesday nights, the farmers used to come down from the hills, and drive their sheep through the city streets into the pens, ready to sell on Wednesday morning; that was the day they sold them. The sheep weren’t used to the city noises and sights, and they always grew afraid and wild, and gave the farmers and the sheepdogs a great deal of trouble. They broke away and ran about, in everybody’s way.
