Fruits Are Less Fattening Than Others
Health authorities recommend food with added sugar be limited within 5% to 10% of calories. But don’t worry about the sugar we get from whole fruit. The natural sugar in fruits comes packaged with valuable things, including vitamins, minerals, and other healthy chemicals.
___1___, two features providing some natural serving control.
As for fewer calories, apples definitely take the cake. However, such control disappears when fruits are juiced or dried.___2___. But it wouldn’t be hard to consume 4 or 5 apples if we drank apple juice or ate dried ones. Consumption of whole fruit decreases the risk of diabetes (糖尿病), while fruit juice performs oppositely.
Fruits contain glucose ( 葡 萄 糖 ), fruit sugar, and other sugars in varying amounts. Most fruits contain more glucose than fruit sugar. These two types are working differently. Glucose is absorbed directly into the bloodstream. Fruit sugar, on the other hand, is processed in the liver.
___3___, so it is often recommended to diabetics precisely. It also tastes sweeter than glucose, providing more sweetness for less sugar and fewer calories.
Diets high in sugar are a problem. Eating large amounts of sugar will flood the body with both glucose and fruit sugar. Too much glucose impairs blood sugar metabolism (新陈代谢), while too much fruit sugar harms the liver. Taking in too much sugar means taking in too many calories.___4___.
___5___ Something that may be harmful in high amounts may be harmless or beneficial in small amounts. With a balanced and calorie-appropriate diet, the amount of diverse sugar you get from several servings will not cause you diabetes, liver damage, or turn your body into a fat storage factory.
A. The quantity makes the poison.
B. Fruits with less glucose bring more benefits.
C. And whole fruit also contains fiber and water
D. This always contributes to weight gain and fat storage
E. Eating whole fruit means absorbing less sugar and calories
F. Fruit sugar is a natural sugar that has little effect on blood sugar
G. Most of us would find it difficult to eat more than two whole apples

While they lived a very happy life,Carol did not love the beautiful atmosphere of the village.
She really wanted to move into the city and enjoy the city life.She wanted to shop,move around the city,watch movies,and eat in fantastic restaurants and cafés,etc.
However,there was hardly any chance that Carol’s family moved to the city as they had everything in the village.
One day,Carol fell asleep during the early noon and she had a sound sleep.Of course,she had a strange dream.She saw her grandmother in her dream as a fairy and her deceased grandmother granted her a wish.Carol requested her that she should love to enjoy the city life as she always desired.
Grandmother understood the desire of Carol,but still wanted to convince her that the peaceful village life is better than the city life.
She told Carol,“Baby,you cannot have access to fresh fruits and vegetables from plants as you have at your home.You cannot breathe fresh air.You cannot play with animals.You can hardly find any trees.You will not find peace as you see here!Do you still want to go to the city ”
Without hearing the concerns,Carol asked her grandmother to grant the wish.Grandmother granted her wish,but with a condition.Carol was told that she would only have 6 hours to spend in the city.Later,she would return to the village.Carol agreed.
注意:续写词数应为150左右。

四：七选五
1.考查段首句。上一段提到：卫生局建议添加糖的食物应限制糖所提供的卡路里的比例，即在总卡路里的5％至10％之内。但不必担心我们从整个水果中获得的糖分。水果中的天然糖分中含有有价值的东西，包括维生素，矿物质和其他健康的化学物质。后文提到：两种成分提供了一些自然的饮食控制。C项(而且整个水果还含有纤维和水。)承接上一段内容并与下文连接通顺，空后的two features指的是该选项中的fiber and water，空后的句子说明了水果中含有的纤维和水所发挥的作用。故选C项。
2.考查段中句。前文提到：至于摄入更少的卡路里，苹果绝对是最好的。但是，当水果榨汁或制成水果干后，这种卡路里摄入的控制作用就会消失。后文提到：但是，如果我们喝苹果汁或吃苹果干时，我们吃掉4或5个苹果并不难。G项(我们大多数人会发现很难吃进去两个以上完整的苹果。)与上下文连接通顺，该选项内容与下文构成转折关系，苹果的形态会影响人们吃多少苹果。故选G项。
3.考查段首句。后文提到：因此通常建议糖尿病患者精确地食用水果来获得糖分。F项(水果里的糖分是对血糖影响很小的天然糖。)与下文连接通顺，水果里含有的糖分对人体血糖影响小是将水果推荐给糖尿病人食用的原因。故选F项。
4.考查段尾句。前文提到：高糖饮食是个问题。吃大量的糖将使人体过多地吸收葡萄糖和水果里含有的糖分。葡萄糖过多会损害血糖的新陈代谢，而摄入水果里含有的糖分过多则会损害肝脏。摄入过多的糖意味着摄入过多的卡路里。D项(这总是会导致体重增加和脂肪储存。)与上文连接通顺，该选项是摄入过多糖分产生的结果。故选D项。
5.考查段首句。后文提到：有些东西在摄入量大时可能会对身体有害而可能在摄入量少时就是无害的或有益的。均衡饮食和适当摄取热量，从多份食物中摄取的各种糖分不会导致糖尿病，肝脏受损或将身体变成脂肪储存工厂。A项(摄入的量会决定该物质的毒性。)与下文连接通顺，该选项说明的是摄入物质的量在超出了人体的吸收能力时，它会对身体产生副作用，后文对此进行了解释，即摄入量多便可能有毒性而摄入量少可能对身体就无害或者有益。故选A项。

Dear Peter,
I'm very glad to learn that a Chinese Culture Week activity will be held in your school. It's a good opportunity for you to learn more about Chinese culture.
First, a paper-cutting exhibition is a good choice. As a traditional Chinese art form, paper-cutting includes different themes such as plants, animals and so on. Additionally, holding a Chinese calligraphy competition can also arouse people's interest, which is very helpful in learning Chinese culture. What's more, lectures about Chinese history, architecture, poems, or even food, are surely welcome. And a Chinese painting show is always attractive.
I hope my suggestions will be of great help to you.
Yours,
Li Hua

A
Most kids can walk into a library or bookstore and find hundreds of books to read. But it’s not that simple for kids who are blind. They read in a different way. Jenny Lee and other braille (盲文) transcribers take the printed words of a book and change them into a code of raised dots. Blind people can read these dots with their fingers. To know what braille feels like, take a ballpoint pen and press hard onto a piece of paper. Now turn the paper over and touch the raised dot made by the pen point.
When Lee first saw the dots of the braille alphabet, she wondered if she’d ever be able to read and write them easily. She took a class and practised hard for about six months before she passed the final exam: she had to convert 35 pages of a book into braille. Today, Lee works for a publisher. One of her jobs is to change children’s books into braille.
To do this, Lee first types the story into a computer and then uses a computer program to translate it into the braille code. Next, she looks over the translation several times to make sure it’s mistake-free. After that, a copy of the braille story is printed with a special printer. Then Lee and a proofreader work together to find and correct any mistakes. When a book is ready, many copies of it are printed. Afterwards, some are sold through websites and others are sent to libraries.
Sometimes, going over a story again and again gets tiring. That’s when Lee takes a break. Several of Jenny Lee’s co-workers, who are blind, use guide dogs. When the animals aren’t working, Lee likes spending a few minutes with them. To her, playing with dogs “is always a pick-me-up in the middle of the day”.
“I love this mission,” Lee says. “Through my brain power and my fingers, I am putting the dots into some kid’s hands.”
1. How does the writer explain what braille feels like
A. By explaining what braille words look like.
B. By describing how blind people read books.
C. By asking readers to experience it themselves.
D. By giving examples of different braille words
2. What was Lee’s first reaction to braille
A. She was excited to get a new skill.
B. She was amazed at the clever idea.
C. She realized she could teach it herself.
D. She believed it would be difficult to learn.
3. What does the underlined word “pick-me-up” in paragraph 4 most probably mean
A. A discussion to release work stress.
B. Something to improve one’s appetite.
C. Something to help restore one’s spirit.
D. A free ride accompanied with a guide dog.
4. What does Lee think of her job
A. Profitable and hopeful. B. Tiring but meaningful.
C. Relaxing and helpful. D. Boring but challenging.

Why do Chinese people love hot pot so much As the winter months are coming in,more and more people are sitting around a table enjoying this kind of traditional meal.I find myself wondering what it is about this traditional meal,which has existed for more than 1,000 years.What makes it a Chinese food favourite It seems that the answer lies beyond the dish itself.
Hot pot isn’t just designed to keep you warm during the cold months; it’s also a social experience.It’s a “theater” cooked food that turns a meal into an event.There is a lot of fun for everyone to have in adding some foods to the hot pot.
Hot pot is eaten over two to three hours.For this reason,it is often considered an evening’s entertainment,and a time to spend with friends and families.However,many Westerners would be put off by the idea of other people sticking chopsticks in their food.When we come to eat at the table in the UK,we often have our own shares,although the experience is still a social one.
A similar experience to the hot pot can be found in Korean barbecue restaurants,which let you cook your own meat.This allows people to have their meat done however they want.
For most Westerners,the idea of going to a restaurant to cook their own food is very strange.But having a go,I find it’s now one of my favourite meals in Beijing.The steam from the pot left my clothes smelling of food when I got home,but perhaps this was also part of the experience.When the cold wind is blowing outside,I am sitting around with my good friends,eating and drinking.For me it’s like a dinner party where my taste buds (味蕾) and my appetite are equally satisfied in the warm company of friends.
5.What is the main reason why hot pot is popular in China
A.It has a history of over 1,000 years.
B.It is a fun social experience.
C.It serves people with many kinds of foods.
D.It keeps people very warm in winter
6.We can conclude from the article that British people generally .
A.enjoy cooking their own food in restaurants
B.prefer a Korean barbecue to Chinese hot pot
C.don’t like sharing food with others in restaurants
D.don’t mind the smell of food staying on their clothes
7.What is the author’s attitude to hot pot
A.Serious. B.Tired. C.Humorous. D.Appreciative.

这是一篇记叙文。主要讲述了Jenny Lee和其他盲文转录员成功使用电脑程序将故事文字转换为盲文的经历。
1.细节理解题。根据第一段中“To know what braille feels like, take a ballpoint pen and press hard onto a piece of paper. Now turn the paper over and touch the raised dot made by the pen point.”要了解盲文的感觉，请拿一支圆珠笔并用力压在一张纸上。现在，将纸张翻转过来，然后触摸笔尖产生的凸起点。可知作者通过让读者亲身感受的方式解释盲文是什么。故选C项。
2.推理判断题。根据第二段中“When Lee first saw the dots of the braille alphabet, she wondered if she’d ever be able to read and write them easily.”当Lee第一次看到盲文字母的点时，她想知道自己是否能够轻松阅读和书写它们。可知意在表明Lee对盲文的第一反应是觉得很难学会。故选D项。
3.词义猜测题。根据倒数第二段中“Sometimes, going over a story again and again gets tiring. That’s when Lee takes a break.”有时，一次又一次地重复一个故事会很累。 Lee会休息一下。以及“When the animals aren’t working, Lee likes spending a few minutes with them.”当动物不工作时，Lee喜欢和他们玩几分钟。可推知，对她来说，和狗一起玩一直是中午时段能令人放松的时刻。C项“Something to help restore one’s spirit.”意为可以帮助恢复精力的东西。切合语境。故选C项。
4.推理判断题。根据倒数第二段中“Sometimes, going over a story again and again gets tiring. ”有时，一次又一次地重复一个故事会很累。 以及最后一段中“Through my brain power and my fingers, I am putting the dots into some kid’s hands.”通过我的脑力和手指，我将盲文的圆点送到了一些孩子的手中。意在表明作者认为她的工作是累人但有意义的。故选B项。
本文是一篇说明文。火锅是中国独创的美食,历史悠久,老少皆宜,在寒冷的冬季尤其受欢迎。
5.B细节理解题。根据第二段第一句可知,吃火锅不仅仅能使你的身体在寒冷的月份里保持温暖,它也是一次社交经历,故选B项。
6.C推理判断题。根据第三段第三、四句可知,西方人并不喜欢别人把筷子放在自己的食物上,他们更喜欢一人一份分餐吃,故选C项。
7.D推理判断题。通读全文并结合最后一段最后两句可推断出,作者很喜欢吃火锅,故选D项。
五：语法填空
1考查定语从句。句意：这是我做过的最好、最具挑战性的工作之一。_____I had ever had是定语从句，先行词job被最高级修饰，连接词只能用that，故填that。
2考查现在分词。句意：当我想到未来几年，我意识到事情开始减少。前半句没有主语，前后句无连接词，所以此处think是非谓语动词，think的逻辑主语是I，两者之间是主动关系，故用现在分词表示主动。故填thinking。
3考查时态和语态。句意：我的薪水很高，我得到了很多自由，也得到了很多好处。根据后面的had，可知这里用一般过去时态。本句的主语是I，谓语动词是pay，主谓之间是被动关系，所以用一般过去时的被动语态。故填was paid。
4考查形容词。句意：我过得很舒服，习惯了安逸的生活。be accustomed to表示“习惯于”，此处填形容词做表语。故填accustomed。
5考查副词。句意：这个月我压力特别大，超负荷的工作既无挑战性也无趣。此处用副词修饰形容词stressful。故填particularly。
6考查过去分词。句意：这个月我压力特别大，超负荷的工作既无挑战性也无趣。此处两句中无连词连接，所以overload是非谓语动词，overload和逻辑主语I之间是被动关系，故用过去分词表示被动，be overloaded with work表示工作过重，故填overloaded。
7考查时态。句意：我联系了我的老板，让他知道了我的想法。根据前文的Last year，可知这里在描述过去发生的事情，故用一般过去时。故填reached。
3考查名词。句意：我们就我个人的决定开了个会。空前是形容词personal，此处需要填名词，前文出现了my，所以是我的一个决定，需要用单数形式。故填decision。
9考查冠词。句意：高级职员没有采用我建立的新系统。根据I built可知这里是特指我建立的系统，所以用定冠词the。故填the。
10考查介词。句意：我从辞职的经历中学到了很多。learn sth from表示“从……学习”，是固定搭配。故填from。

My last trip was part of a three-year project photographing whales that focused on their culture and behaviors.
Perhaps my favorite observation 1． (take) place in the Canadian Arctic with belugas (白鲸). One aspect of their lives was 2． complete surprise-they play games with little rocks. Their daily lives are busy and 3．(challenge). They have to catch food and take care of their young. They deal with social situations, 4． no doubt conflicts occur. Yet they still make time 5．(play). In this shallow, three-foot-deep water, they will occasionally pick up pebbles (鹅卵石) with their 6． (mouth). They'll carry them around for a while, and then drop them. Another whale then swims by to pick the pebble up again.
We can see 7． (we) in these creatures. Humans also speak different languages, enjoy different foods, and pass down family traditions. But perhaps most 8．(strike), we also rely a rely on one other. The moments we spend with our 9．(love) ones are often the most treasured 10． meaningful in our lives. Just as belugas do, it's essential for us to make time for other things-things that bring joy.

五：七选五
1.第一段“Think about how we greet people.(想想我们是如何问候别人的。)”句中的how提示下文将在问候方式方面进行展开叙述。空后的“we greet people by shaking hands or with another gesture(我们通过握手或其他手势来问候别人)”是关于手势或动作的问候方式；“And there are certain symbols(有一些特定的符号)”是关于特定符号的问候方式，选项C是关于语言的问候方式，与上下文衔接紧密。故选C项。
2.第二段中“In ancient Greek(在古希腊)”和“In ancient Japan(在古代日本)”表明鸽子在古代是如何代表和平的，而选项A中的“modern(现代的)”与前文的ancient相呼应，完整讲述了鸽子在古代和现代历史上是如何被用来代表和平的。故选A项。
3.选项D中的“Nowadays(现在)”与第三段中的“In Scandinavian mythology(在北欧神话中)”和“In Chinese tradition(在中国的传统中)”相呼应，讲述在现代人们是如何利用彩虹这个标志的。且D项中的“for peace(为了和平)”也与全文的和平主题一致。故选D项。
4.选项B描述橄榄树的用途，与第四段小标题“The olive branch(橄榄枝)”是相符的，且空后“the goddess Athene gave the olive tree to the people of Athens,(雅典娜女神将橄榄树送给雅典人，)”，句中的the olive tree也暗示，前文应对橄榄树有所铺垫。故选B项。
5.第二段和第三段都是从历史和原因两方面对鸽子和彩虹的和平意义进行讲述，而第四段中所讲述的雅典娜将橄榄树送给雅典这个神话与橄榄枝的和平意义并无关联，又根据空后的“Whatever the history(无论历史是什么)”可知，前文对橄榄枝用作和平象征的历史并没有做出明确的说明，选项G中“但没有人确切知道它是何时或为何开始象征和平的。”符合题意，选项中的it指代前文的the olive tree。故选G项。
六：语法填空
本文是一篇记叙文，主要讲了作者在一次拍摄鲸鱼的项目中的所见和所感。
1．考查一般过去时。句意：也许我最喜欢的观察发生在加拿大北极的白鲸。由前面的My last trip was可知，观察白鲸是过去的事情，因此时态用一般过去时，空格处用过去式，故填took。
2．考查冠词。句意：他们生活的一个方面完全出乎意料——他们用小石头玩游戏。they play games with little rocks是让人惊讶的一件事，因此surprise是可数名词，意为“令某人意外惊喜的事物”，句中是单数，表泛指，前面需加不定冠词，complete是辅音音素开头，因此不定冠词用a，故填a。
3．考查形容词。句意：他们的日常生活忙碌而富有挑战性。空格处和and并列，跟在are后，应用形容词作表语，challenge的形容词是challenging，意为“有挑战性的”，故填challenging。
4．考查定语从句的引导词。句意：他们处理的是社会场合，而这些场合无疑会发生冲突。分析可知，空格处引导定语从句，从句中不缺主语或宾语，先行词situations是抽象地点，因此空格处用关系副词where，故填where。
5．考查不定式。句意：然而，他们仍然挤出时间去玩。根据语境可知，句子表示“他们仍然挤出时间去玩”，空格处用不定式作后置定语，修饰名词time，故填to play。
6．考查名词的复数。句意：在这三英尺深的浅水里，它们偶尔会用嘴叼起小石子。由their可知，空格处用复数，故填mouths。
7．考查反身代词。句意：我们可以在这些生物身上看到自己。根据前面的We can see可知，句子表示“我们可以在这些生物身上看到自己”，因此空格处是“我们自己”，即ourselves，故填ourselves。
8．考查副词。句意：但也许最引人注目的是，我们也相互依赖。空格处 用副词修饰整个句子，strike的副词是strikingly，意为“引人注目地”，故填strikingly。
9．考查形容词。句意：我们与所爱的人一起度过的时光往往是我们生命中最珍贵、最有意义的时刻。空格处用形容词作定语，修饰名词ones，love的形容词是loved，意为“受珍爱的”，故填loved。
10．考查连词。句意：我们与所爱的人一起度过的时光往往是我们生命中最珍贵、最有意义的时刻。根据语境可知，treasured和meaningful是并列关系，因此空格处用表并列的连词and，故填and。
