A
The parents of a troubled teen may feel unsure as to whom to turn to in order to find help for their child. They may feel as if they have exhausted all of their options, and sometimes they are on the verge of giving up. But there is hope. Schools for troubled teens offer discipline and in some cases, drug treatment programs that can provide important life skills, and more importantly, a fresh start.
Boarding Schools
When a child is unable to deal with the relative freedom of a standard school day, boarding schools might be a good choice. At boarding schools, the child lives in a dorm setting, where almost every minute of the day is scheduled by school administrators.
Treatment Centers
When a teenager has an addiction to drugs or alcohol, a residential center that specializes in young people is an outstanding way to help them break the cycle of addiction. Treatment centers feature individual and group counseling to help identify the root causes of the drug problem and help develop the life skills needed to stay clean when the program is over.
Wilderness Programs
Designed to help improve the discipline and self-reliance of the children, wilderness programs send kids back to nature. By placing them in a foreign and sometimes uncomfortable setting, wilderness programs hope to improve children’s behavior. Programs generally include hikes, exercise programs and team building exercises.
Boot Camps
Boot camps are the most extreme style of school for troubled teens. These facilities are modeled after actual military boot camps, where the individual must get into shape, work as part of a team, and follow a long, hard set of rules and regulations. However, boot camps might not be the best choice for a teen with a drug addiction.
1. Which school will be a good choice if a teenager is addicted to drugs or alcohol
A. Boarding Schools. B. Treatment Centers.
C. Wilderness Programs. D. Boot Camps.
2. What will teenagers do when they are sent to the Wilderness Programs
A. They will live in a dorm setting.
B. They will develop the life skills needed to stay clean.
C. They will get into shape, work as part of a team, and follow rules and regulations.
D. They will go hiking and participate in exercise programs and team building exercises.
3. Who are most likely to be interested in this passage
A. Parents. B. Teachers.
C. Students. D. Experts.
【答案】1. B 2. D 3. A
【解析】

B
David Grant and Yvonne Faulkner-Grant of Warwickshire. England always let their 13-year-old dog, Scruff. pick up the plastic bottles he finds while out on their daily walks. The dog carries the bottle for a while, and they kick it or throw it for him to chase. The game is over when Scruff loses interest and drops it.
Throughout 2021, David and Yvonne observed Scruff’s habit of finding even the most well-hidden bottles. They also noticed a marked increase in the amount of litter in their rural area. David says they were both taught never to drop their trash as children, so they couldn’t believe that people were littering so much. At the start of 2022, David and Yvonne decided to start picking up the bottles to bring home with them. It was the large number of litter that made them decide to train Scruff to gather other people’s trash.
Since starting this journey, Scruff has become a local celebrity in his neighborhood. David and Yvonne never let Scruff pick up anything dangerous, like glass. They also remain appalled by the amount of litter they’ re seeing, and hope that people will hear Scruff’s story and either stop dropping trash or, perhaps, try picking it up themselves. Plus, Yvonne thinks Scruff took to his duties so well, other dogs could easily be trained to do what he does as well.
In the end, Scruff was able to gather up 1,334 bottles-along with three cups, a Pringles tub, and a baby feeding bottle. “If we walk the same route every day, he will find bottles on that route every single day,” said David. “We feel a bit of pride that we are picking them up, but a bit of anger that they’ re even there,” Yvonne said.
4. In which situation will the game be over
A. Scruff gathers 100 bottles.
B. Scruff throws the bottle into the bin.
C. Scruff drops the plastic bottle.
D. David Grant sells the bottle for money.
5. What were David and Yvonne taught from their childhood
A. Don’t drop litter everywhere.
B. Animals are our friends.
C. The best fish swim near the bottom.
D. Every dog has his day.
6. Which has the closest meaning to the underlined word “appalled”
A. Independent. B. Displeased.
C. Intelligent. D. Disabled.
7. How do David and Yvonne feel about the result
A. Excited and proud. B. Angry and disappointed
C. Proud and happy. D. Proud but angry.
【答案】4. C 5. A 6. B 7. D
【解析】
【导语】这是一篇记叙文。主要讲述了主人公大卫和伊冯娜让名叫斯克鲁夫的狗狗捡塑料瓶的故事。
【4题详解】
细节理解题。根据第一段中“The dog carries the bottle for a while, and they kick it or throw it for him to chase. The game is over when Scruff loses interest and drops it.”（狗带着瓶子一会儿，他们踢它或扔它让他追赶。当斯克鲁夫失去兴趣，把它扔到地上时，游戏就结束了。）可知，当斯克鲁夫扔掉塑料瓶游戏就结束了。故选C项。
【5题详解】
细节理解题。根据第二段中“David says they were both taught never to drop their trash as children, so they couldn’t believe that people were littering so much.”（大卫说，他们小时候都被教育不要乱扔垃圾，所以他们不敢相信人们会乱扔这么多垃圾。）可知，大卫和伊冯娜从小受到教育是不要到处乱扔垃圾。故选A项。
【6题详解】
词义猜测题。根据划线单词句子中“…by the amount of litter they’ re seeing, and hope that people will hear Scruff’s story and either stop dropping trash or, perhaps, try picking it up themselves.”（对所看到的垃圾数量感到……，并希望人们能听到斯克鲁夫的故事，要么停止扔垃圾，要么尝试自己捡垃圾。）故可猜测，对所看到的垃圾数量感到不愉快，结合选项B项Displeased“不快的；生气的”，意思相近。故选B项。
【7题详解】
推理判断题。根据最后一段中““We feel a bit of pride that we are picking them up, but a bit of anger that they’ re even there,” Yvonne said.”（伊冯娜说：“我们为能把它们捡起来感到有点自豪，但也为它们还在那里感到有点愤怒。”）可推知，大卫和伊冯娜对这个结果的看法是自豪但愤怒的。故选D项。
C
For most of us, walking is something we do automatically. It doesn’t require much effort, so many of us fail to remember the benefits of walking for health.
Physical activity doesn’t need to be hard. Whether you’re regularly active or not, even a quick ten-minute daily walk can deliver a host of health benefits. But what happens if we stop walking ahead and start challenging our brains and bodies by walking backwards Not only does this change of direction demand more of our attention, but it may also bring additional health benefits.
One of the most well-studied benefits of walking backwards is improving stability and balance. Walking backwards can improve how a person walks and balance for healthy adults and those with knee problems. Walking backwards causes us to take shorter, more frequent steps, leading to improve the muscles of the lower legs. But the benefits of changing direction aren’t just that- -an interest in backwards movement has led researchers to discover various other benefits. While normal walking can help us maintain a healthy weight, walking backwards may be even more effective. Energy expenditure when walking backwards is almost 40 percent higher than walking at the same speed forwards, with one study showing reductions in body fat for women who completed a six-week backwards walk.
Walking backwards is simple, but that doesn’t mean it’s easy. So, how can you add walking backwards into your exercise plan When walking backwards, we’re more likely to crash into something or fall over, so in the interest of safety, it’s best to start indoors where you won’t crash into someone or outside in a flat, open area. Look over your shoulder. Keep your head and chest upright while reaching back with your big toe for each step, rolling through the foot from toe to heel. Once you become more confident walking backwards, you can begin to speed things up.
8. Why does the author mention “the benefits of walking” in the beginning
A. To introduce the topic. B. To show people’s lack of exercise.
C. To lead us to the benefits of walking. D. To tell us the importance of walking.
9. What does the underlined word “expenditure” mean
A. Increase. B. Experiment. C. Consumption. D. Production.
10. What does the fourth paragraph talk about
A. When is safe to walk backwards B. How can we start walking backwards
C. Why should we walk backwards D. What’s weakness of walking backwards
11. What is the best title for the passage
A. Physical Activity Is Easy And Simple
B. Walking Doesn’t Require Any Special Equipment
C. Walking Backwards Is Really Good For You
D. Walking Ahead Challenges Our Brains and Bodies
【答案】8. A 9. C 10. B 11. C
【解析】
【导语】这是一篇说明文。文章主要说明了倒走的好处以及如何开始倒走。
8题详解】
推理判断题。根据第一段“For most of us, walking is something we do automatically. It doesn’t require much effort, so many of us fail to remember the benefits of walking for health.(对我们大多数人来说，走路是一件自然而然的事情。它不需要太多的努力，所以我们很多人都忘记了散步对健康的好处)”以及第二段“But what happens if we stop walking ahead and start challenging our brains and bodies by walking backwards Not only does this change of direction demand more of our attention. but it may also bring additional health benefits.(但是，如果我们停止向前走，开始向后走，挑战我们的大脑和身体，会发生什么呢？这种方向的改变不仅需要我们更多的关注。但它也可能带来额外的健康益处)”可推知，作者在开头提到“步行的好处”是为了引导我们“向后走”这一文章话题，由此展开“向后走”好处的讨论。故选A。
【9题详解】
词义猜测题。根据画线词后文“when walking backwards is almost 40 percent higher than walking at the same speed forwards”（向后走的速度比同样速度向前走的速度快40%）以及“with one study showing reductions in body fat for women who completed a six-week backwards walk.(研究表明完成六周倒走的女性体脂减少)”可知，倒走比以同样速度向前走消耗的能量高出近40%，故画线词意思是“消耗”。故选C。
【10题详解】
主旨大意题。根据第四段“Walking backwards is simple, but that doesn’t mean it’s easy. So, how can you add walking backwards into your exercise plan When walking backwards, we’ re more likely to crash into something or fall over, so in the interest of safety, it’s best to start indoors where you won’t crash into someone or outside in a flat, open area. Look over your shoulder. Keep your head and chest upright while reaching back with your big toe for each step, rolling through the foot from toe to heel. Once you become more confident walking backwards, you can begin to speed things up.(倒着走很简单，但这并不意味着它很容易。那么，怎样才能把倒着走加入到你的锻炼计划中呢？倒着走的时候，我们更有可能撞到什么东西或摔倒，所以为了安全起见，最好从室内开始，这样你就不会撞到别人，或者在外面平坦开阔的地方开始。回头看看。保持头部和胸部直立，每一步都用大脚趾向后伸，从脚趾到脚跟滚动。一旦你变得更有信心倒着走，你就可以开始加快速度了)”可知，第四段讲述了“倒走”的方法，即“我们如何开始倒走”。故选B。
【11题详解】
主旨大意题。根据第二段“Physical activity doesn’t need to be hard. Whether you’re regularly active or not, even a quick ten-minute daily walk can deliver a host of health benefits. But what happens if we stop walking ahead and start challenging our brains and bodies by walking backwards Not only does this change of direction demand more of our attention, but it may also bring additional health benefits.(体育活动不需要很辛苦。无论你是否经常运动，即使是每天十分钟的快速步行也能带来许多健康益处。但是，如果我们停止向前走，开始向后走，挑战我们的大脑和身体，会发生什么呢？这种方向的改变不仅需要我们更多的关注。但它也可能带来额外的健康益处)”结合文章主要说明了倒走的好处以及如何开始倒走。可知，C选项“Walking Backwards Is Really Good For You.(倒着走真的对你有好处)”符合文章内容。故选C。
D
Britain is the sixth fattest country: within the Organization for Economic Co-operation and Development (OECD). For more than a decade, the government has declared obesity (肥胖) a national emergency and promised to take action, only to produce disappointing plans that don’t reach what is required.
It should not have taken a disease like COVID-19 to make people fully aware of the awful consequences of the UK’s obesity. Obesity, as well as its associated conditions of diabetes (糖尿病) and high blood pressure, is strongly connected with a higher risk of death from COVID-19 and will have undoubtedly been a factor in the UK having the highest COVID-19 death rate in Europe.
As the Prime Minister, Boris Johnson’s experience of caching the virus and being admitted to ICU has reportedly resulted in a complete change in him, who has previously prided himself on his dislike of an over-controlling state. The government is expected to set out a new strategy this week, aimed at reducing obesity levels both in the next few months — ahead of a possible second wave of infections and the longer term.
This obvious change is welcome, but only if it results in a complete change in the government’s approach, which doesn’t rely on personal responsibility but on much tougher rules, as with tobacco and alcohol.
There is plenty of evidence about what is needed to cut obesity and in recent years, many reports, including from Public Health England and the former chief medical officer, have called for urgent action. Yet these calls were ignored by the government that has seemingly put the food and drink industry’s financial interests over the health of the nation.
12. What has the government done with obesity in the past ten years
A. It has denied (否认) it is a national emergency. B. It has made unsatisfying plans to reduce it.
C. It has taken effective steps to control it. D. It has called for immediate action on it.
13. What might the British government do next
A. Place less stress on financial interests. B. Set stricter limits on tobacco and alcohol.
C. Carry out a new strategy to cut obesity. D. Take action to reduce COVID-19 death rate.
14. From the passage, we can learn that______.
A. the British government should have paid more attention to solving obesity
B. the fast-spread disease COVID-19 resulted in the UK’s obesity
C. the Prime Minister caught the virus and was admitted to ICU for obesity
D. the British government has taken effective action to battle against obesity
15. What’s the best title for the text
A. UK Suffering from COVID-19 B. UK Ready for a Complete Change
C. A Cause of Highest COVID-19 Death Rate D. Obesity: An Urgent Problem in the UK
【答案】12. B 13. C 14. A 15. D
【解析】
【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍了英国的肥胖问题严重，政府采取了一些减少肥胖的措施，但是没有达到要求。
【12题详解】
细节理解题。根据第一段中的“For more than a decade, the government has declared obesity (肥胖) a national emergency and promised to take action, only to produce disappointing plans that don’t reach what is required.(十多年来，政府一直宣布肥胖是国家紧急情况，并承诺采取行动，但结果却出台了令人失望的计划，没有达到要求)”可知，在过去的十年里，政府制定的减少肥胖的计划并不令人满意。故选B。
【13题详解】
细节理解题。根据第三段中的“The government is expected to set out a new strategy this week, aimed at reducing obesity levels both in the next few months — ahead of a possible second wave of infections and the longer term.(政府有望在本周制定一项新策略，旨在在未来几个月内降低肥胖水平——赶在可能出现的第二波感染之前，并在更长时间内降低肥胖水平)”可知，接下来，英国政府可能会实施一项减少肥胖的新策略。故选C。
【14题详解】
推理判断题。根据最后一段“There is plenty of evidence about what is needed to cut obesity and in recent years, many reports, including from Public Health England and the former chief medical officer, have called for urgent action. Yet these calls were ignored by the government that has seemingly put the food and drink industry’s financial interests over the health of the nation. (关于减少肥胖需要做些什么，有很多证据。近年来，包括英国公共卫生部和前首席医疗官在内的许多报告都呼吁采取紧急行动。然而，这些呼吁被政府忽视了，政府似乎把食品和饮料行业的经济利益置于国民健康之上)”可推知，英国政府应该更加重视解决肥胖问题。故选A。
【15题详解】
主旨大意题。根据第一段中的“Britain is the sixth fattest country: within the Organization for Economic Co-operation and Development (OECD).(在经济合作与发展组织(OECD)的成员国中，英国是第六胖的国家)”和最后一段中的“There is plenty of evidence about what is needed to cut obesity and in recent years, many reports, including from Public Health England and the former chief medical officer, have called for urgent action. (关于减少肥胖需要做些什么，有很多证据。近年来，包括英国公共卫生部和前首席医疗官在内的许多报告都呼吁采取紧急行动)”可知，英国肥胖问题严重，应该引起政府和人们的高度重视。由此可知，D. Obesity: An Urgent Problem in the UK(肥胖：在英国一个迫在眉睫的问题)适合作本文最佳标题。故选D。

47. 阅读下面材料，根据其内容及所给段落开头语续写两段，使之构成一篇完整的短文。
Christmas was approaching, and I had no idea what to get for my wife. We had just moved to Italy. Donna was away attending an important meeting, so I had the rest of the week to figure out what to get her as a Christmas gift before she got back.
My house partner while Donna was away was her cat, Princess, who was everything that her name implied. I was keeping Princess indoors in our new home until she became familiar with the place and then planned to slowly introduce her to the great outdoors. Princess had other ideas, and slipped out of the house as I was bringing in some food. By the time I had turned around and gone back out of the door to look for her, she was gone.
Donna would be back in a few days and it would ruin Christmas for both of us if Princess was not back by then, safe and sound. Donna had already excitedly told me over the phone that she had found several fun toys and delicious snacks for Princess as Christmas gifts. She couldn’t wait to get back and wrap them up.
I was in big trouble. I had to find Princess as soon as possible. So, I made up a poster of the cat that I personally drew because I couldn’t find a photo of her anywhere. I was sure my wife had hundreds on her phone, but I didn’t dare ask her for one. Perhaps because my poster were not so clear, soon people in the area came to my house with several homeless cats. Though Princess wasn’t among them, I let them stay in our yard. I figured Donna would understand.
Donna’s happy daily calls continued, as did my daily searches for Princess. I still hadn’t mentioned anything about the disappearance to my wife. Finally, the day came for my wife to return.

【答案】Paragraph 1:
I picked her up at the airport and decided to tell her what had happened. I explained to her about Princess and how I had been searching for her every day. Donna was understanding and supportive, but she couldn't help feeling sad about Princess. We spent the next few days trying to find Princess. We put up posters around the neighborhood and asked our neighbors if they had seen her. But there was no sign of her. At the same time, I told her about the homeless cats in our yard.
Paragraph 2:
When Donna saw the homeless cats in the yard, her eyes just filled with tears. One day, as we were sitting in the yard, we heard a familiar meowing. We looked around and saw Princess walking towards us. We were overjoyed to see her and couldn't believe that she had found her way back to us. From that day on, Princess never left our side. We were grateful for the experience of taking care of the homeless cats, but we were even more grateful to have our beloved Princess back home with us.

阅读下列短文，从每题所给的A、B、C和D四个选项中，选出最佳选项，并在答题纸上将该项涂黑。
A
The parents of a troubled teen may feel unsure as to whom to turn to in order to find help for their child. They may feel as if they have exhausted all of their options, and sometimes they are on the verge of giving up. But there is hope. Schools for troubled teens offer discipline and in some cases, drug treatment programs that can provide important life skills, and more importantly, a fresh start.
Boarding Schools
When a child is unable to deal with the relative freedom of a standard school day, boarding schools might be a good choice. At boarding schools, the child lives in a dorm setting, where almost every minute of the day is scheduled by school administrators.
Treatment Centers
When a teenager has an addiction to drugs or alcohol, a residential center that specializes in young people is an outstanding way to help them break the cycle of addiction. Treatment centers feature individual and group counseling to help identify the root causes of the drug problem and help develop the life skills needed to stay clean when the program is over.
Wilderness Programs
Designed to help improve the discipline and self-reliance of the children, wilderness programs send kids back to nature. By placing them in a foreign and sometimes uncomfortable setting, wilderness programs hope to improve children’s behavior. Programs generally include hikes, exercise programs and team building exercises.
Boot Camps
Boot camps are the most extreme style of school for troubled teens. These facilities are modeled after actual military boot camps, where the individual must get into shape, work as part of a team, and follow a long, hard set of rules and regulations. However, boot camps might not be the best choice for a teen with a drug addiction.
1. Which school will be a good choice if a teenager is addicted to drugs or alcohol
A. Boarding Schools. B. Treatment Centers.
C. Wilderness Programs. D. Boot Camps.
2. What will teenagers do when they are sent to the Wilderness Programs
A. They will live in a dorm setting.
B. They will develop the life skills needed to stay clean.
C. They will get into shape, work as part of a team, and follow rules and regulations.
D. They will go hiking and participate in exercise programs and team building exercises.
3. Who are most likely to be interested in this passage
A. Parents. B. Teachers.
C. Students. D. Experts.
B
David Grant and Yvonne Faulkner-Grant of Warwickshire. England always let their 13-year-old dog, Scruff. pick up the plastic bottles he finds while out on their daily walks. The dog carries the bottle for a while, and they kick it or throw it for him to chase. The game is over when Scruff loses interest and drops it.
Throughout 2021, David and Yvonne observed Scruff’s habit of finding even the most well-hidden bottles. They also noticed a marked increase in the amount of litter in their rural area. David says they were both taught never to drop their trash as children, so they couldn’t believe that people were littering so much. At the start of 2022, David and Yvonne decided to start picking up the bottles to bring home with them. It was the large number of litter that made them decide to train Scruff to gather other people’s trash.
Since starting this journey, Scruff has become a local celebrity in his neighborhood. David and Yvonne never let Scruff pick up anything dangerous, like glass. They also remain appalled by the amount of litter they’ re seeing, and hope that people will hear Scruff’s story and either stop dropping trash or, perhaps, try picking it up themselves. Plus, Yvonne thinks Scruff took to his duties so well, other dogs could easily be trained to do what he does as well.
In the end, Scruff was able to gather up 1,334 bottles-along with three cups, a Pringles tub, and a baby feeding bottle. “If we walk the same route every day, he will find bottles on that route every single day,” said David. “We feel a bit of pride that we are picking them up, but a bit of anger that they’ re even there,” Yvonne said.
4. In which situation will the game be over
A. Scruff gathers 100 bottles.
B. Scruff throws the bottle into the bin.
C. Scruff drops the plastic bottle.
D. David Grant sells the bottle for money.
5. What were David and Yvonne taught from their childhood
A. Don’t drop litter everywhere.
B. Animals are our friends.
C. The best fish swim near the bottom.
D. Every dog has his day.
6. Which has the closest meaning to the underlined word “appalled”
A. Independent. B. Displeased.
C. Intelligent. D. Disabled.
7. How do David and Yvonne feel about the result
A. Excited and proud. B. Angry and disappointed
C. Proud and happy. D. Proud but angry.
C
For most of us, walking is something we do automatically. It doesn’t require much effort, so many of us fail to remember the benefits of walking for health.
Physical activity doesn’t need to be hard. Whether you’re regularly active or not, even a quick ten-minute daily walk can deliver a host of health benefits. But what happens if we stop walking ahead and start challenging our brains and bodies by walking backwards Not only does this change of direction demand more of our attention, but it may also bring additional health benefits.
One of the most well-studied benefits of walking backwards is improving stability and balance. Walking backwards can improve how a person walks and balance for healthy adults and those with knee problems. Walking backwards causes us to take shorter, more frequent steps, leading to improve the muscles of the lower legs. But the benefits of changing direction aren’t just that- -an interest in backwards movement has led researchers to discover various other benefits. While normal walking can help us maintain a healthy weight, walking backwards may be even more effective. Energy expenditure when walking backwards is almost 40 percent higher than walking at the same speed forwards, with one study showing reductions in body fat for women who completed a six-week backwards walk.
Walking backwards is simple, but that doesn’t mean it’s easy. So, how can you add walking backwards into your exercise plan When walking backwards, we’re more likely to crash into something or fall over, so in the interest of safety, it’s best to start indoors where you won’t crash into someone or outside in a flat, open area. Look over your shoulder. Keep your head and chest upright while reaching back with your big toe for each step, rolling through the foot from toe to heel. Once you become more confident walking backwards, you can begin to speed things up.
8. Why does the author mention “the benefits of walking” in the beginning
A. To introduce the topic. B. To show people’s lack of exercise.
C. To lead us to the benefits of walking. D. To tell us the importance of walking.
9. What does the underlined word “expenditure” mean
A. Increase. B. Experiment. C. Consumption. D. Production.
10. What does the fourth paragraph talk about
A. When is safe to walk backwards B. How can we start walking backwards
C. Why should we walk backwards D. What’s weakness of walking backwards
11. What is the best title for the passage
A. Physical Activity Is Easy And Simple
B. Walking Doesn’t Require Any Special Equipment
C. Walking Backwards Is Really Good For You
D. Walking Ahead Challenges Our Brains and Bodies
D
Britain is the sixth fattest country: within the Organization for Economic Co-operation and Development (OECD). For more than a decade, the government has declared obesity (肥胖) a national emergency and promised to take action, only to produce disappointing plans that don’t reach what is required.
It should not have taken a disease like COVID-19 to make people fully aware of the awful consequences of the UK’s obesity. Obesity, as well as its associated conditions of diabetes (糖尿病) and high blood pressure, is strongly connected with a higher risk of death from COVID-19 and will have undoubtedly been a factor in the UK having the highest COVID-19 death rate in Europe.
As the Prime Minister, Boris Johnson’s experience of caching the virus and being admitted to ICU has reportedly resulted in a complete change in him, who has previously prided himself on his dislike of an over-controlling state. The government is expected to set out a new strategy this week, aimed at reducing obesity levels both in the next few months — ahead of a possible second wave of infections and the longer term.
This obvious change is welcome, but only if it results in a complete change in the government’s approach, which doesn’t rely on personal responsibility but on much tougher rules, as with tobacco and alcohol.
There is plenty of evidence about what is needed to cut obesity and in recent years, many reports, including from Public Health England and the former chief medical officer, have called for urgent action. Yet these calls were ignored by the government that has seemingly put the food and drink industry’s financial interests over the health of the nation.
12. What has the government done with obesity in the past ten years
A. It has denied (否认) it is a national emergency. B. It has made unsatisfying plans to reduce it.
C. It has taken effective steps to control it. D. It has called for immediate action on it.
13. What might the British government do next
A. Place less stress on financial interests. B. Set stricter limits on tobacco and alcohol.
C. Carry out a new strategy to cut obesity. D. Take action to reduce COVID-19 death rate.
14. From the passage, we can learn that______.
A. the British government should have paid more attention to solving obesity
B. the fast-spread disease COVID-19 resulted in the UK’s obesity
C. the Prime Minister caught the virus and was admitted to ICU for obesity
D. the British government has taken effective action to battle against obesity
15. What’s the best title for the text
A. UK Suffering from COVID-19 B. UK Ready for a Complete Change
C A Cause of Highest COVID-19 Death Rate D. Obesity: An Urgent Problem in the UK

47. 阅读下面材料，根据其内容及所给段落开头语续写两段，使之构成一篇完整的短文。
Christmas was approaching, and I had no idea what to get for my wife. We had just moved to Italy. Donna was away attending an important meeting, so I had the rest of the week to figure out what to get her as a Christmas gift before she got back.
My house partner while Donna was away was her cat, Princess, who was everything that her name implied. I was keeping Princess indoors in our new home until she became familiar with the place and then planned to slowly introduce her to the great outdoors. Princess had other ideas, and slipped out of the house as I was bringing in some food. By the time I had turned around and gone back out of the door to look for her, she was gone.
Donna would be back in a few days and it would ruin Christmas for both of us if Princess was not back by then, safe and sound. Donna had already excitedly told me over the phone that she had found several fun toys and delicious snacks for Princess as Christmas gifts. She couldn’t wait to get back and wrap them up.
I was in big trouble. I had to find Princess as soon as possible. So, I made up a poster of the cat that I personally drew because I couldn’t find a photo of her anywhere. I was sure my wife had hundreds on her phone, but I didn’t dare ask her for one. Perhaps because my poster were not so clear, soon people in the area came to my house with several homeless cats. Though Princess wasn’t among them, I let them stay in our yard. I figured Donna would understand.
Donna’s happy daily calls continued, as did my daily searches for Princess. I still hadn’t mentioned anything about the disappearance to my wife. Finally, the day came for my wife to return.
