A residential summer weight-loss camp improved fat children's health, a study about fat children's health reports. A Saint Louis University physician found the camp improved children's weight, body mass index, physical fitness and blood pressure.
"When a child can communicate with others struggling with the same problem, it helps support his weight-loss effort, and he is more likely to improve both physically and psychologically," said Nadim Kanafani, M.D., corresponding author and assistant professor of pediatrics at Saint Louis University School of Medicine.
According to Kanafani, fat children struggle with their body's awkwardness in running, jumping and playing, which causes them to stop taking part in these physical activities and make unhealthy lifestyle choices. This can be changed when fat children are placed together to focus on losing weight and improving physical fitness.
Kanafani tracked fat adolescents who attended a weight-loss camp. They took part in physical activities s and group educational meeting covering nutrition, physical fitness and self-esteem(自尊). During their stay, the kids ate three balanced meals and two snacks per day prepared under the supervision(监督) of a nutritionist.
The results showed an average weight loss of more than eight pounds and an average reduction in the BMI score of three points. Besides, participants' blood pressure dropped significantly and fitness levels improve.
The weight-loss camp in the study, Camp Jump Start, used a number of proven techniques to achieve modification of diet habits, increase physical activities and provide social support for participants. These methods resulted in health benefits as well as significant increases in self-esteem. Camp founder Jean Huelsing, who is a nurse, is the lead author on the paper.
1.The summer weight-loss camp improved the following EXCEPT ______.
A.children's height B.body mass index
C.physical fitness D.blood pressure
2.What made the children in the camp more likely to improve their health
A.The guides' encouragement.
B.Their parents' help.
C.Their own plans to lose weight.
D.Their communication with campers with the same problem.
3.The underlined word in Paragraph 6 most probably means "______".
A.nature B.chance C.change D.success
4.What is the main idea of the passage
A.Weight loss is the key to kids' mental health.
B.Focusing on lifestyle changes is the key to kids' health.
C.Obese and overweight children underestimate(低估) true weight.
D.A summer weight-loss camp helps improve obese children's health.

From the loss of wildlife to rising sea level, we're all well aware of the problems that climate change could cause. But while it may seem such issues won't affect most of us directly, it looks like future generations could grow up without something that many of us now take for granted: chocolate.
According to an article published by the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration, changes to the climate in the areas that produce cacao — the plant from which chocolate is produced — may mean that it will soon become extinct.
Most of the world's cacao grows in countries close to the equator (赤道), with over half of it growing in the African nations of Ghana and Ivory Coast. It's predicted that by 2050, climate change will have sped up the rate at which temperatures in these countries rise, making it extremely difficult for cacao plants to grow there. The problem doesn't lie in increased heat, but in lower humidity (湿度), as it's believed that rainfall will stay at the same level if the temperature rises.
"In other words, as higher temperatures squeeze more water out of soil and plants, it's unlikely that rainfall will increase enough to offset the moisture (水分)loss," wrote Michon Scott, the article's author.
To help fight this problem, researchers from University of California, Berkeley in the US are working on changing the DNA of cacao plants to allow them to survive in dryer conditions by using gene (基因) editing technology, according to US News. In the meantime, Mars, one of the world's biggest companies of chocolate products, announced that it would spend 1 billion dollars helping reduce the effects of climate change.
"This is a world issue, and it requires everyone to work together," Mars spokesperson Barry Parkin told Business Insider.
The message here is that if we all do our part, we may be able to prevent some of the worst influences of climate change. Or if we're unlucky, chocolate will become a thing of the past.
1.The underlined word "offset" in Paragraph 4 probably means "________".
A.make up B.add up C.dry up D.use up
2.Which is the effective way to rescue cacao
A.By moving cacao plants to proper places. B.By getting DNA out of cacao plants.
C.By making cacao adapt to the surroundings. D.By giving a warning to chocolate companies.
3.What will Mars do to help cacao survive
A.It will work hard to plant cacao in greenhouses.
B.It will use gene editing technology to plant cacao.
C.It will develop cacao that can survive in dryer conditions.
D.It will give financial support to help fight climate change.
4.What is this article mainly about
A.Some new research and findings about growing cacao.
B.The influence that cacao plants have on climate change.
C.Problems cacao plants would face and the possible solutions.
D.The significance of working together to fight climate change.
D
I stopped to watch my little girl busy playing in her room. In one hand was a plastic phone; in the other a toy. I listened as she was speaking to her make-believe little friend and I'll never forget the words she said, even though they were imagined.
She said, "Susie's in the comer because she's not been very good. She didn't listen to a word I said or do the things she should." In the corner I saw her baby doll well-dressed. It was obvious that she'd been put there to sit alone and think.
My daughter continued her "conversation", as I sat down on the floor. She said, "I'm all fed up and I just don't know what to do with her any more. She cries whenever I have to work and wants to play games too. She tries to help me with the dishes, but her arms just cannot reach. And she doesn't know how to fold towels. I don't have the time to teach. I have a lot of work to do and a big house to keep clean. I don't have the time to sit and play—don't you know what I mean "
And that day I thought a lot about making some changes in my life, after listening to her innocent words cut me like a knife. I hadn't been paying enough attention to what I hold most dear. I'd been caught up in responsibilities that increased throughout the years.
But now my attitude has changed because in my heart I realise that I've seen the world in a different light through my little darling's eyes. So let the cobwebs (蜘蛛网) cut the corners and the dust bunnies rule the floor. I'm not going to worry about keeping up with them any more.
I'm going to fill the house with memories of a child and her mother, for we have only one childhood and we will never get another.
1.Who is Susie
A.The girl's phone. B.The girl's friend. C.The author. D.A baby doll.
2.How did the author feel when hearing her little girl's words
A.Interested. B.Uncomfortable. C.Moved. D.Unbelievable.
3.The passage leads us to believe that _________.
A.the little girl doesn't hate her mother any more
B.the author has become lazy because of her daughter
C.the author cares nothing about her daughter's happiness
D.the author wants her little girl to have a happy childhood
4.What might be the best title
A.Only One Childhood B.My Lovely Daughter
C.How to Deal with My Daughter D.A World of Children

After a little while, the old father again asked his son for the third time, "What is this "

This time, the son shouted at his father, "Why do you keep asking me the same question again and again, although I have told you so many times 'IT IS A CROW'. Are you not able to understand this "
A little later the father went to his room and came back with an old tattered (破旧的) diary, which he had maintained since his son was born. On opening a page, he asked his son to read that page.
When the son read it, the following words were written in the diary:
"Today my little son aged three was sitting with me on the sofa, when a crow was sitting on the window. My son asked me 23 times what it was, and I replied to him all 23 times that it was a crow. I hugged him lovingly each time he asked me the same question. I did not at all feel irritated but I rather felt affection for my innocent son."

解析：这是一篇记叙文。作者介绍了萨勒克国家公园以及这里的人们从前和现在的生活。

②考查名词复数。根据空前的a few可知,此处应用名词复数。branch在此处表示"支流",是可数名词。
③考查used to的用法。根据下文可知,大部分冰已经融化。used to do指"过去常常……"。主语Sarek's mountains与cover之间是被动关系,因此填to be covered。
④考查时态。根据该句中的"Around 9,000 years ago"可知,此处用一般过去时。
⑤考查非谓语动词。这里是"with +宾语+宾补"结构,leave behind与about 100 glaciers之间是逻辑上的动宾关系,因此用过去分词作宾补。
⑥考查主谓一致和时态。这里是一个倒装句,句子的主语是the Sami people;再根据语境可知,此处用一般过去时。
⑦考查固定短语。根据语境可知,此处指他们收拾起帐篷。pick up表示"收拾,整理"。
⑧考查冠词。固定短语live a(n)... life 表示"过……生活/日子",此处modern的发音以辅音音素开头,故填a。
⑨考查定语从句。分析句子结构可知,空处引导定语从句,修饰the valleys of Sarek,空处在定语从句中作地点状语,故用where。
⑩考查副词。分析句子结构可知,空处修饰形容词delicious,故用其副词形式。

His father would patiently answer the same question all 23 times without feeling irritated while his father asked him the same question just four times! The boy thought to himself: if I attain old age, how will my son look at me Will he think of me as a burden Will he shout at me because of my poor sight, poor hearing or poor understanding
Paragraph 2:
Feeling ashamed, the son got down on his knees before his father. He made an apology to his father, begging his father to forgive him for his bad behavior.

A residential summer weight-loss camp improved fat children's health, a study about fat children's health reports. A Saint Louis University physician found the camp improved children's weight, body mass index, physical fitness and blood pressure.
"When a child can communicate with others struggling with the same problem, it helps support his weight-loss effort, and he is more likely to improve both physically and psychologically," said Nadim Kanafani, M.D., corresponding author and assistant professor of pediatrics at Saint Louis University School of Medicine.
According to Kanafani, fat children struggle with their body's awkwardness in running, jumping and playing, which causes them to stop taking part in these physical activities and make unhealthy lifestyle choices. This can be changed when fat children are placed together to focus on losing weight and improving physical fitness.
Kanafani tracked fat adolescents who attended a weight-loss camp. They took part in physical activities s and group educational meeting covering nutrition, physical fitness and self-esteem(自尊). During their stay, the kids ate three balanced meals and two snacks per day prepared under the supervision(监督) of a nutritionist.
The results showed an average weight loss of more than eight pounds and an average reduction in the BMI score of three points. Besides, participants' blood pressure dropped significantly and fitness levels improve.
The weight-loss camp in the study, Camp Jump Start, used a number of proven techniques to achieve modification of diet habits, increase physical activities and provide social support for participants. These methods resulted in health benefits as well as significant increases in self-esteem. Camp founder Jean Huelsing, who is a nurse, is the lead author on the paper.
1.The summer weight-loss camp improved the following EXCEPT ______.
A.children's height B.body mass index
C.physical fitness D.blood pressure
2.What made the children in the camp more likely to improve their health
A.The guides' encouragement.
B.Their parents' help.
C.Their own plans to lose weight.
D.Their communication with campers with the same problem.
3.The underlined word in Paragraph 6 most probably means "______".
A.nature B.chance C.change D.success
4.What is the main idea of the passage
A.Weight loss is the key to kids' mental health.
B.Focusing on lifestyle changes is the key to kids' health.
C.Obese and overweight children underestimate(低估) true weight.
D.A summer weight-loss camp helps improve obese children's health.

From the loss of wildlife to rising sea level, we're all well aware of the problems that climate change could cause. But while it may seem such issues won't affect most of us directly, it looks like future generations could grow up without something that many of us now take for granted: chocolate.
According to an article published by the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration, changes to the climate in the areas that produce cacao — the plant from which chocolate is produced — may mean that it will soon become extinct.
Most of the world's cacao grows in countries close to the equator (赤道), with over half of it growing in the African nations of Ghana and Ivory Coast. It's predicted that by 2050, climate change will have sped up the rate at which temperatures in these countries rise, making it extremely difficult for cacao plants to grow there. The problem doesn't lie in increased heat, but in lower humidity (湿度), as it's believed that rainfall will stay at the same level if the temperature rises.
"In other words, as higher temperatures squeeze more water out of soil and plants, it's unlikely that rainfall will increase enough to offset the moisture (水分)loss," wrote Michon Scott, the article's author.
To help fight this problem, researchers from University of California, Berkeley in the US are working on changing the DNA of cacao plants to allow them to survive in dryer conditions by using gene (基因) editing technology, according to US News. In the meantime, Mars, one of the world's biggest companies of chocolate products, announced that it would spend 1 billion dollars helping reduce the effects of climate change.
"This is a world issue, and it requires everyone to work together," Mars spokesperson Barry Parkin told Business Insider.
The message here is that if we all do our part, we may be able to prevent some of the worst influences of climate change. Or if we're unlucky, chocolate will become a thing of the past.
1.The underlined word "offset" in Paragraph 4 probably means "________".
A.make up B.add up C.dry up D.use up
2.Which is the effective way to rescue cacao
A.By moving cacao plants to proper places. B.By getting DNA out of cacao plants.
C.By making cacao adapt to the surroundings. D.By giving a warning to chocolate companies.
3.What will Mars do to help cacao survive
A.It will work hard to plant cacao in greenhouses.
B.It will use gene editing technology to plant cacao.
C.It will develop cacao that can survive in dryer conditions.
D.It will give financial support to help fight climate change.
4.What is this article mainly about
A.Some new research and findings about growing cacao.
B.The influence that cacao plants have on climate change.
C.Problems cacao plants would face and the possible solutions.
D.The significance of working together to fight climate change.

I stopped to watch my little girl busy playing in her room. In one hand was a plastic phone; in the other a toy. I listened as she was speaking to her make-believe little friend and I'll never forget the words she said, even though they were imagined.
She said, "Susie's in the comer because she's not been very good. She didn't listen to a word I said or do the things she should." In the corner I saw her baby doll well-dressed. It was obvious that she'd been put there to sit alone and think.
My daughter continued her "conversation", as I sat down on the floor. She said, "I'm all fed up and I just don't know what to do with her any more. She cries whenever I have to work and wants to play games too. She tries to help me with the dishes, but her arms just cannot reach. And she doesn't know how to fold towels. I don't have the time to teach. I have a lot of work to do and a big house to keep clean. I don't have the time to sit and play—don't you know what I mean "
And that day I thought a lot about making some changes in my life, after listening to her innocent words cut me like a knife. I hadn't been paying enough attention to what I hold most dear. I'd been caught up in responsibilities that increased throughout the years.
But now my attitude has changed because in my heart I realise that I've seen the world in a different light through my little darling's eyes. So let the cobwebs (蜘蛛网) cut the corners and the dust bunnies rule the floor. I'm not going to worry about keeping up with them any more.
I'm going to fill the house with memories of a child and her mother, for we have only one childhood and we will never get another.
1.Who is Susie
A.The girl's phone. B.The girl's friend. C.The author. D.A baby doll.
2.How did the author feel when hearing her little girl's words
A.Interested. B.Uncomfortable. C.Moved. D.Unbelievable.
3.The passage leads us to believe that _________.
A.the little girl doesn't hate her mother any more
B.the author has become lazy because of her daughter
C.the author cares nothing about her daughter's happiness
D.the author wants her little girl to have a happy childhood
4.What might be the best title
A.Only One Childhood B.My Lovely Daughter
C.How to Deal with My Daughter D.A World of Children

The father asked his son, "What is this The son replied, "It is a crow."
After a few minutes, the father asked his son for the second time, "What is this " The son said, "Father, I have just now told you that it's a crow!"
After a little while, the old father again asked his son for the third time, "What is this "
At this time some expression of irritation (恼怒) was felt in the son's tone when he said to his father with a rebuff (粗暴回绝), "It's a crow, a crow." A little while later, the father again asked his son the fourth time, "What is this "
This time, the son shouted at his father, "Why do you keep asking me the same question again and again, although I have told you so many times 'IT IS A CROW'. Are you not able to understand this "
A little later the father went to his room and came back with an old tattered (破旧的) diary, which he had maintained since his son was born. On opening a page, he asked his son to read that page.
When the son read it, the following words were written in the diary:
"Today my little son aged three was sitting with me on the sofa, when a crow was sitting on the window. My son asked me 23 times what it was, and I replied to him all 23 times that it was a crow. I hugged him lovingly each time he asked me the same question. I did not at all feel irritated but I rather felt affection for my innocent son."

③考查used to的用法。根据下文可知,大部分冰已经融化。used to do指"过去常常……"。主语Sarek's mountains与cover之间是被动关系,因此填to be covered。

⑤考查非谓语动词。这里是"with +宾语+宾补"结构,leave behind与about 100 glaciers之间是逻辑上的动宾关系,因此用过去分词作宾补。

⑦考查固定短语。根据语境可知,此处指他们收拾起帐篷。pick up表示"收拾,整理"。
⑧考查冠词。固定短语live a(n)... life 表示"过……生活/日子",此处modern的发音以辅音音素开头,故填a。
⑨考查定语从句。分析句子结构可知,空处引导定语从句,修饰the valleys of Sarek,空处在定语从句中作地点状语,故用where。
⑩考查副词。分析句子结构可知,空处修饰形容词delicious,故用其副词形式。

After reading the diary, the son was filled with tears and began to reflect on the days when he used to sit together with his father. His father would patiently answer the same question all 23 times without feeling irritated while his father asked him the same question just four times! The boy thought to himself: if I attain old age, how will my son look at me Will he think of me as a burden Will he shout at me because of my poor sight, poor hearing or poor understanding
Paragraph 2:
Feeling ashamed, the son got down on his knees before his father. He made an apology to his father, begging his father to forgive him for his bad behavior. He said this aloud, "I promise to see you happy forever, Dad. It is you who have cared for me ever since I was a little child, showing your selfless affection on me. You worked hard to make money so that I could afford to go to university. Now it's time for me to love you unconditionally and with my whole heart."
