Isn’t fast food delicious Aren’t fast food restaurants cool ... The answer to these questions is yes.
However, there are growing facts that fast food is one of the worst parts of modern life. And studies have shown that burgers and fried chicken, which we enjoy so much, can cause a lot of health problems.
In spite of (尽管)this, why are fast food restaurants so attractive(吸引人的) The first and most important reason is that their service is fast. Their staff(员工) are friendly and very smart-looking in their clean and bright uniforms(制服). Moreover, most fast food restaurants are near places that people always pass by. It is so easy to grab a burger and eat on the way to work.
Fast food is often so conveniently packed(包装方便) that it will not cause a mess even if you stand and eat it. Fast food restaurants are also very clean. A lot of clever ads(广告) have made them the coolest places in town, but none of them has ever told and will never tell you that too much fast food is not good for your health.
Such attractive places are selling junk food! Isn’t it a pity Is there a way to change the fast food restaurants into special places where you get the best possible, healthy and fresh food
Well, why not
As people realize the health problems that fast food causes, it is quite likely that fast food restaurants may go out of date. It may happen sooner or later.
Therefore, instead of resisting(抵制) fast food restaurants, a better idea may be to persuade(说服) them to change their menu! Fast food restaurants can be places to go to when you want to eat something that will be good for your body. If they could combine(结合) healthy food with their speed of service, delicious tastes and comfortable feelings, that will be the next best thing on the earth for the human beings!
26. What does “this” in Paragraph 3 refer to
A. Fast food is delicious. B. Fast food restaurants are cool.
C. People enjoy fast food. D. Fast food can cause health problems.
27. Fast food has many advantages EXCEPT that it’s _______.
A. delicious B. fast C. healthy D. unhealthy
28. Which word can replace the word “grab” in Paragraph 3
A. move suddenly B. get quickly C. throw quickly D. carry carefully
29. According to the passage, ads about fast food________.
A. show you all the facts B. don’t tell you the whole truth
C. make it hard to buy fast food D. make fast food restaurants out of date
30. The author advises ________.

You may have heard the saying “The Yangtze River is China’s mother river.” It is almost 6,400 kilometers long. As the world’s third-longest river, it covers one-fifth of China’s land area. The Yangtze River Economic Zone(长江经济带) covers eleven provinces and cities, making up about forty percent of China’s total population and GDP.
On December 26, China passed the Yangtze River Protection Law, which came into force on March 1, 2021. It is the first law to protect a waterway in China.
The mother river is in great need of protection because something is wrong with it. For example, because of overfishing and water pollution, the river’s Chinese paddlefish has died out there. There’s also desertified land and soil pollution near the river.
According to the law, fishing will not be allowed in all of the Yangtze’s natural waterways, including its major tributaries(支流) and lakes. Those who are caught fishing will be fined(罚款)50,000 to 500,000 yuan.
Digging sand will be strictly limited(限制) in the river. Many companies are digging sand along the river. However, this has led to lower water levels on the river, which has caused the river’s water to decline.
Companies and factories along the river will need to focus on green development. If their activities do harm to the waterways, they will be moved away, the law says.
31. What does the first paragraph tell us about the Yangtze River
A. How old it is. B. Why it’s important.
C. What problems it has. D. Where it joins the sea.
32. What do we know about the Yangtze River Protection Law
A. It was passed on March 1, 2021. B. It came into force about ten years ago.
C. It has increased the population of the area. D. It’s the first law to protect a waterway in China.
33.What does Paragraph 3 explain
A. Why the river needs protection. B. How the river is being polluted.
C. When Chinese paddlefish died out. D. How the river will be protected.
34. What does the underlined word “decline” in Paragraph 5 mean
A. Disappear. B. Become worse. C. Be hard to test. D. Be easy to control.
35. According to the passage, which is true about protecting the river
A. People can’t fish in the river’s major tributaries.
B. Digging sand will not be allowed in the river anymore.
C. Companies along the river will be moved to other places.
D. Anyone who causes pollution will be fined at least 50,000 yuan.

Chris recently completed a very unusual journey. Our reporter Mary met him at his home in south London and he told her all about the trip.
Reporter: What gave you the idea to travel around India on an elephant, Chris
Chris: Well, it all started two years ago when I was planning a trip to India. I visited a photographic (摄影的)exhibition of elephants and I realized that the only way to travel around India was on an elephant.
Reporter: What did you do next
Chris: I flew to New Delhi and started looking for an elephant. I needed an elephant trained to carry people. I didn't know anything about elephants, so I asked an expert for help. He taught me how to ride an elephant. He also helped me find an elephant.
Reporter: How long did it take to find a suitable elephant
Chris: Not too long. I bought a female elephant called Tara for about USD 6, 000.
Reporter: Can you tell me about the journey
Chris: Tara and I set off from New Delhi a week later. We were heading to Sonepur in northern India where there is a big elephant market and I could sell Tara easily. And what a ride! Elephants can travel at about 6 miles an hour and Sonepur was more than 1, 200 km away. It took us 64 days to complete the journey.
Reporter: Did you have any problems on your journey
Chris: Yes, a few. But nothing serious. On the third day, Tara hurt her foot. But that got better quickly. Also, there was a lot of heavy rain during the first week and we got very wet!
Reporter: What happened when you reached Sonepur
Chris: My plan was to sell Tara. But by now I was very fond of her. I couldn’t take her back to Britain and I didn’t want to sell her at the market. By chance, I met some people who wanted an elephant for their national park in southern India. I knew that Tara would be safe with them, so I gave her to them. I was very sad to say goodbye.
36. Chris got the idea to travel around India on an elephant from ___________.

第二部分 写作----范文
Recently, I’ve done a survey about whether students like to watch movies at home or in the cinema. 64% of the students like to watch movies at home. For one thing, they can spend less money. For another, they will have more choices of what to watch.
However, others prefer going to the cinema. From their point of view, they will have the chance to enjoy huge screens and fell excellent sound in the cinema, which can always give them a wonderful watching experience.
As for me, watching movies in the cinema is a better choice. I can hang out with my friends and it’s really exciting. At the same time, it’s a good way to develop friendship.
