第二部分：阅读理解(共两节，满分50分)

阅读下列短文，从每题所给的A、B、C、D四个选项中选出最佳选项，并在答题卡上将该选项涂黑。
A
You can’t just rely on textbooks to learn English, if you want to learn a foreign language well. Actually, you need an excellent language environment. This does not mean that you have to move abroad or live with foreigners. It is also a good way to read the original books, and the best and most reliable ones are the classics. Here are four famous books. Let’s see which one you are most interested in.
Ulysses
Ulysses did “stream of consciousness” before the term existed, and it’s also a complicated (难懂的) novel filled with references, wordplay, confusing jokes, and intense, personal reflections by the characters.
Moby-Dick
Moby-Dick has a fame for being very dull. Melville’s novel wasn’t received well on publication (it took decades before people really started to realize how great it is), and the negative evaluation (评价) is repeated every year when students are forced to read it.
Pride and Prejudice
Pride and Prejudice is a masterpiece in the literary world, being the inspiration, basis, and model for so many modern novels. You’re probably more familiar with its plot (情节) and characters than you think. For a book written in the early 19th century, its modernity is surprising only until you realize this is the novel that in many ways defines what a modern novel is.
The Big Sleep
It’s true that the book is written in what seems to modern audiences like a self-consciously tough style, peppered with old-fashioned expressions, and the plot is famously complicated, even for a mystery. It actually has several loose ends that never get solved, but it doesn’t matter.
1. Which book failed to be popular at first
A Ulysses. B. Moby-Dick. C. Pride and Prejudice. D. The Big Sleep.
2. What is special about Pride and Prejudice
A. It is full of confusing jokes. B. It is famous for its dullness.
C. It is a typical modern novel. D. It has some mysterious (神秘的) ends.
3. Where is the text probably taken from
A. A textbook. B. An English magazine.
C. A travel brochure. D. A novel.
【答案】1. B 2. C 3. B
【解析】
【导语】本文是一篇应用文。文章介绍了四本适合用于学习英语的名著。
【1题详解】
细节理解题。根据Moby-Dick中的“Moby-Dick has a fame for being very dull. Melville’s novel wasn’t received well on publication (it took decades before people really started to realize how great it is), and the negative evaluation (评价) is repeated every year when students are forced to read it. (《白鲸》以沉闷著称。梅尔维尔的小说在出版时反响不佳(人们花了几十年才真正意识到它有多伟大)，每年当学生们被迫阅读它时，负面评价都会重复出现。)”可知Moby-Dick这本书一开始反响不好，故选B。
【2题详解】
细节理解题。根据Pride and Prejudice中的“For a book written in the early 19th century, its modernity is surprising only until you realize this is the novel that in many ways defines what a modern novel is. (对于一本写于19世纪早期的书来说，它的现代性是令人惊讶的，直到你意识到这本小说在很多方面定义了什么是现代小说。)”可知，Pride and Prejudice这本书的特殊之处在于它是一部典型的现代小说。故选C。
【3题详解】
推理判断题。根据第一段“You can’t just rely on textbooks to learn English, if you want to learn a foreign language well. Actually, you need an excellent language environment. This does not mean that you have to move abroad or live with foreigners. It is also a good way to read the original books, and the best and most reliable ones are the classics. Here are four famous books. Let’s see which one you are most interested in. (如果你想学好一门外语，你就不能只依靠课本来学习英语。实际上，你需要一个良好的语言环境。这并不意味着你必须移居国外或与外国人住在一起。这也是一个很好的方式来阅读原著，最好和最可靠的是经典。这里有四本名著。让我们看看你对哪一个最感兴趣。)”可知本文主要介绍了四本有助于英语学习的名著。说明这篇文章应来自一本英语杂志。故选B。
B
Joe Clark was a non-traditional high school principal, whose unusual way of carrying out rules became the subject of a 1989 Hollywood movie. He gained national attention for his leadership at Eastside High School in Paterson, New Jersey.
“You are not inferior.” is what Clark would often tell his students, many of whom were African American or Latino. They grew up in a difficult environment and faced violence, drugs and troubled family life which could prevent them from succeeding in school and in life.
Before becoming an educator, Clark served in the U.S. Amy Reserve. His experience might have influenced how he ran his school. He was known to walk around with a bull horn and a baseball bat. In Clark's first days of working, he expelled 300 students for breaking school rules. The students who remained at school believed that higher expectations were being placed on them. They felt more pressure to perform better.
Some praised his efforts at discipline while others criticized his methods. President Ronald Reagan offered Clark a White House policy adviser position after his success at the high school. In 1988, one teacher, said his methods were more like being in a labor camp than a public high school. In 1989, actor Morgan Freeman played Clark in the movie “Lean on Me.” That movie was based on Clark's experiences at Eastside. “Joe was a father figure to school kid,” Freeman said. “He was the best of the best in terms of education.” Recently, one of Joe Clark's former students, Thomas McEntyre said, “I never really got a chance to... thank him. We are your product. You did not fail us. No matter whether you kicked me out, you did not fail me. You bettered me."
After he retired from Eastside in 1989, Clark wrote a book called “Laying Down the Law: Joe Clark's Strategy for Saving Our Schools.” He described how he managed to turn Eastside High from a failing school into a success.
4. By saying “You are not inferior” to his students, Joe Clark meant to_________.
A. make the students face the reality B. lead the students to accept themselves
C. press the students not to make mistakes D. encourage the students to better themselves
5. What does the underlined word “expelled” in paragraph 3 mean
A. Drew out. B. Kicked out. C. Brought out. D. Smoothed out.
6. Who criticized Joe Clark
A. The president B. One teacher. C. Morgan Freeman. D. Thomas McEntyre.
7. Which of the following best describes Joe Clark
A. Tough and unique. B. Demanding and humorous.
C. Kind and considerate. D. Well-meaning and professional.
【答案】4 D 5. B 6. B 7. A
【解析】
【分析】这是一篇说明文。Joe Clark是一位非传统的高中校长，他执行规则的独特方式成为1989年一部好莱坞电影的主题。他在新泽西州帕特森东区高中的领导能力赢得了全国的关注。文章主要介绍了Joe Clark是如何教育学生的以及他的教育特点。
【4题详解】
推理判断题。根据第二段““You are not inferior.” is what Clark would often tell his students, many of whom were African American or Latino. They grew up in a difficult environment and faced violence, drugs and troubled family life which could prevent them from succeeding in school and in life.(“你并不低人一等”是Clark经常对他的学生说的话，他的学生中有很多是非裔美国人或拉丁裔美国人。他们在困难的环境中长大，面临暴力、毒品和麻烦的家庭生活，这些都可能阻碍他们在学校和生活中取得成功)”可推知，通过说“你并不比其他的学生差”，Joe Clark的意思是鼓励学生提高自己。故选D。
【5题详解】
词句猜测题。根据划线词后文“300 students for breaking school rules”可知，300名违反校规的学生被Clark开除了。划线词意思是“开除”。A. Drew out.取出；B. Kicked out.解雇，开除；C. Brought out.出版；D. Smoothed out.消除。故选B。
【6题详解】
细节理解题。根据倒数第二段中“In 1988, one teacher, said his methods were more like being in a labor camp than a public high school.(1988年，一位教师说，他的方法更像是在劳改营，而不是公立高中)”可知，一位老师批评了Joe Clark。故选B。
【7题详解】
推理判断题。根据第一段中“Joe Clark was a non-traditional high school principal, whose unusual way of carrying out rules became the subject of a 1989 Hollywood movie.(Joe Clark是一位非传统的高中校长，他执行规则的独特方式成为1989年一部好莱坞电影的主题)”以及第三段中“In Clark's first days of working, he expelled 300 students for breaking school rules. The students who remained at school believed that higher expectations were being placed on them. They felt more pressure to perform better. (在Clark开始工作的头几天里，他开除了300名违反校规的学生。留在学校的学生认为他们被寄予了更高的期望。为了表现得更好，他们感到了更多的压力)”可推知，Joe Clark强硬且独特。故选A。

Race walking shares many fitness benefits with running, research shows, while most likely leading to fewer injuries. It does, however, have its own problem.
Race walkers are conditioned(有身体条件的)athletes. The longest track and field event at the Summer Olympics is the 50-kilometer race walk, which is about five miles longer than the marathon. But the sport’s rules require that a race walker’s knees stay straight through most of the leg swing (摆 动)and one foot remain in contact with the ground at all times. It’s this strange form that makes race walking such an attractive activity, however, says Jaclyn Norberg, an assistant professor of exercise science at Salem State University in Salem, Mass.
Like running, race walking is physically demanding, she says. According to most data, race walkers moving at a pace of six miles per hour would burn about 800 calories(卡路里)per hour, which is about twice as many as they would burn walking, although fewer than running, which would probably burn about 1, 000 or more calories per hour.
However, race walking does not hit the body as hard as running does, Dr. Norberg says. According to her research, runners hit the ground with as much as four times their body weight per step, while race walkers, who do not leave the ground, create only about 1. 4 times their body weight with each step.
As a result, she says, some of the injuries connected with running, such as runner’s knee, are uncommon among race walkers. But the sport’s strange form does place much stress on the ankles (脚 踝) and hips (臀部), so people with a history of such injuries might want to be careful in adopting the sport. In fact, anyone wishing to try race walking should probably first communicate with a coach or experienced racer to learn proper skills, she says. It takes some practice.
8. Why are race walkers conditioned athletes
A. They must run long distances.
B. They do well in the marathon.
C. They have to follow special rules.
D. They are good at swinging their legs.
9. What advantage does race walking have over running
A. It’s more popular at the Olympics.
B. It’s less challenging physically.
C. It’s more effective in body building.
D. It’s less likely to cause knee injuries.
10. What is Dr. Norberg’s suggestion for someone trying race walking
A. Getting experts’ opinions.
B. Having a medical examination.
C. Employing an experienced coach.
D. Doing regular exercises.
11. Which word best describes the author’s attitude to race walking
A. Puzzled. B. Careful. C. Supportive. D. Worried.
【答案】8. C 9. D 10. A 11. B
【解析】
【导语】这是一篇说明文。文章介绍了竞走在比赛中的规则以及与走路和跑步相比时，它的优势和弊端。不是所有人都适合竞走。
【8题详解】
细节理解题。根据第二段第三句“But the sport’s rules require that a race walker’s knees stay straight through most of the leg swing and one foot remain in contact with the ground at all times.(但这项运动的规则要求竞走运动员在腿的大部分摆动过程中膝盖保持伸直，一只脚始终保持与地面接触。)”可知，竞走运动员是训练有素的，因为他们要遵循特别的竞走比赛的规定。故选C项。
【9题详解】
细节理解题。根据第五段第一句“As a result, she says, some of the injuries connected with running, such as runner’s knee, are uncommon among race walkers.(因此，她说，一些与跑步有关的损伤，比如跑步膝盖，在竞走者中并不常见。)”可知，与跑步相比，竞走运动员更不太容易伤到膝盖。故选D项。
【10题详解】
细节理解题。根据最后一段倒数第二句“In fact, anyone wishing to try race walking should probably first communicate with a coach or experienced racer to learn proper skills, she says.(她说，事实上，任何想尝试竞走的人都应该首先与教练或有经验的选手沟通，学习正确的技能)”可知，想尝试竞走的人应该咨询一名教练或者由经验的竟走者，即咨询专业人士。故选A项。
【11题详解】
推理判断题。通读全文，尤其是第一段“Race walking shares many fitness benefits with running, research shows, while most likely leading to fewer injuries. It does, however, have its own problem.(研究表明，竞走与跑步在健身方面有许多共同的好处，而且很可能导致更少的受伤。然而，它也有自己的问题。)”后文客观陈述竞走的优缺点，并建议在学习竞走时咨询专业人士，可知作者的态度理性谨慎。故选B项。
D
Processed foods like chips, sodas and frozen pizzas are full of salt, sugar, and fat. Now, scientists are trying to understand if there is something else about such foods that may be bad for humans.
The researchers created a system that places foods into four groups. The system says highly processed foods are made mostly of industrialized materials and additives (添加剂). Sodas, packaged cookies, instant noodles and chicken nuggets (鸡肉块) are some examples of highly processed foods. But also included are products that can seem healthy, such as morning cereals, energy bars and some kinds of yogurt.
Researchers conducted a four-week study involving 20 people. They found that people ate about 500 more calories a day when fed mostly processed foods. That is compared to when the same people were given less processed foods. The researchers permitted the 20 participants to eat as much or as little as they wanted. They were taken to a medical center so their health and behavior could be observed. In another study, researchers in France found people who ate more processed foods were more likely to have heart disease. A similar study in Spain linked eating more processed foods to a higher risk of death in general.
The scientists also found that people ate processed foods more quickly. Kevin Hall is one of the researchers who led the study. He said that processed foods were usually softer and easier to chew and swallow. Hall noted the source of nutrients might make a difference. For example, fiber from fruit and vegetables may be better for making people feel full than fiber added to packaged foods such as energy bars and yogurt.
Avoiding processed foods can be hard, especially for people with limited time and money. Processed foods can also take many forms. In addition, companies continually re-engineer products to make them seem healthier. The newest studies may provide more reasons to avoid processed foods. But, they also call attention to the difficulty of coming up with ways to do that.
12. What kind of food do energy bars belong to
A. Highly processed foods. B. Especially beneficial foods.
C. Relatively high-cost foods. D. Fairly health-friendly foods.
13. What can we know about eating more processed foods in Paragraph 3
A. It can often result in death. B. It makes people get less calories.
C. It does harm to people potentially. D. It makes little difference to people’s health.
14. What is more likely to make people feel full
A. Fiber added to packaged foods.
B. Fiber from fruit and vegetables.
C. Highly processed foods like instant noodles.
D. Foods made mostly of industrial materials and additives.
15. What’s the main idea of the passage
A. Researches reveal more harm of processed foods .
B. Processed foods include a wide range of products.
C. People have a higher tendency of eating processed foods.
D. It is necessary for people to avoid highly processed foods.
【答案】12. A 13. C 14. B 15. A
【解析】
【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍了科学家们正试图了解加工食品是否还有其他可能对人类有害的东西。
【12题详解】
细节理解题。根据文章第二段“Sodas, packaged cookies, instant noodles and chicken nuggets (鸡肉块) are some examples of highly processed foods.(苏打水、包装饼干、方便面和鸡块都是高度加工食品的例子。)”可知，苏打水、包装饼干、方便面和鸡块都是高度加工的食品。而根据“But also included are products that can seem healthy, such as morning cereals, energy bars and some kinds of yogurt.(但也包括一些看起来健康的产品，比如早餐麦片、能量棒和某些酸奶。)”中的“also”可知，早餐麦片、能量棒和某些酸奶虽然看上去很健康，其实也是高度加工的食品。故选A。
【13题详解】
推理判断题。根据文章第三段“In another study, researchers in France found people who ate more processed foods were more likely to have heart disease. A similar study in Spain linked eating more processed foods to a higher risk of death in general.(在另一项研究中，法国的研究人员发现，吃更多加工食品的人更容易患心脏病。西班牙的一项类似研究表明，吃更多的加工食品通常会增加死亡风险。)”可知，加工食品极有可能对人的健康有害。故选C。
【14题详解】
细节理解题。根据第四段“For example, fiber from fruit and vegetables may be better for making people feel full than fiber added to packaged foods such as energy bars and yogurt.(例如，水果和蔬菜中的纤维可能比添加到包装食品（如能量棒和酸奶）中的纤维更能让人产生饱腹感。)”可知，水果和蔬菜中的纤维更能让人产生饱腹感。故选B。
【15题详解】
主旨大意题。根据文章第一段“Now, scientists are trying to understand if there is something else about such foods that may be bad for humans.(现在，科学家们正试图了解这些食物是否还有其他可能对人类有害的东西。)”、第三段“They found that people ate about 500 more calories a day when fed mostly processed foods.(他们发现，当人们主要食用加工食品时，他们每天会多摄入约500卡路里的热量。)”以及第四段“The scientists also found that people ate processed foods more quickly.(科学家们还发现，人们吃加工食品的速度更快。)”可知，文章主要讲述的是科学家们正在试图揭示加工食品更多有害的方面。故选A。
第二节(共5小题;每小题2.5分，满分12.5分)
阅读下面短文，从短文后的选项中选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项
It is often a complex and tiring task to live a healthy life, but that isn’t always the case. ___16___ It’s time to change the classroom environment for the health of the children.
___17___ It’s not surprising that sitting for long as a child is associated with health problems as an adult. Fortunately, there’s a simple, overlooked solution to these problems — standing classrooms.
Over the last few years, a number of studies have shown that the benefits of the increased range of movement students experience when using standing desks are surprisingly broad. ___18___ Besides, standing desks encourage higher levels of teamwork and participation among students. Standing desks also help to reduce the risk of some diseases. They can help to prevent fatness, heart disease and low spirits. Sedentary (久坐的) lifestyles are a major reason why teenagers suffer from poor mental health, while higher activity levels reduce the chances of a child experiencing such an illness.
The benefits of bringing standing desks into classrooms are obvious. ___19___ Otherwise they will likely hurt their muscles when standing for a long time. Standing desks usually offer a full range of motion, which includes the option to sit or lean (倾斜身体) without losing eye-level of the rest of the class, and that full range of motion is important.
Sitting isn’t horrible. It isn’t a thing we should never do. The problem is that we do it too much, and so do our children, which makes children less likely to succeed and keep healthy. ___20___
A. It is time for us to stand up to stay healthy.
B. But it is important for children to use them gradually.
C. Children spend most of their school day sitting at desks.
D. Thus it’s necessary to break up the sitting with standing desks.
E. Something as cheap as a desk could be making a major difference.
F. Right now there is something we can do easily to keep our children healthy.
G. For example, they help students keep fit and avoid putting on too much weight.
【答案】16. F 17. C 18. G 19. B 20. D

第二部分：阅读理解(共两节，满分50分)
第一节(共15小题，每小题2.5分，满分37.5分)
阅读下列短文，从每题所给的A、B、C、D四个选项中选出最佳选项，并在答题卡上将该选项涂黑。
A
You can’t just rely on textbooks to learn English, if you want to learn a foreign language well. Actually, you need an excellent language environment. This does not mean that you have to move abroad or live with foreigners. It is also a good way to read the original books, and the best and most reliable ones are the classics. Here are four famous books. Let’s see which one you are most interested in.
Ulysses
Ulysses did “stream of consciousness” before the term existed, and it’s also a complicated (难懂的) novel filled with references, wordplay, confusing jokes, and intense, personal reflections by the characters.
Moby-Dick
Moby-Dick has a fame for being very dull. Melville’s novel wasn’t received well on publication (it took decades before people really started to realize how great it is), and the negative evaluation (评价) is repeated every year when students are forced to read it.
Pride and Prejudice
Pride and Prejudice is a masterpiece in the literary world, being the inspiration, basis, and model for so many modern novels. You’re probably more familiar with its plot (情节) and characters than you think. For a book written in the early 19th century, its modernity is surprising only until you realize this is the novel that in many ways defines what a modern novel is.
The Big Sleep
It’s true that the book is written in what seems to modern audiences like a self-consciously tough style, peppered with old-fashioned expressions, and the plot is famously complicated, even for a mystery. It actually has several loose ends that never get solved, but it doesn’t matter.
1. Which book failed to be popular at first
A. Ulysses. B. Moby-Dick. C. Pride and Prejudice. D. The Big Sleep.
2. What is special about Pride and Prejudice
A. It is full of confusing jokes. B. It is famous for its dullness.
C. It is a typical modern novel. D. It has some mysterious (神秘的) ends.
3. Where is the text probably taken from
A. A textbook. B. An English magazine.
C. A travel brochure. D. A novel.
B
Joe Clark was a non-traditional high school principal, whose unusual way of carrying out rules became the subject of a 1989 Hollywood movie. He gained national attention for his leadership at Eastside High School in Paterson, New Jersey.
“You are not inferior.” is what Clark would often tell his students, many of whom were African American or Latino. They grew up in a difficult environment and faced violence, drugs and troubled family life which could prevent them from succeeding in school and in life.
Before becoming an educator, Clark served in the U.S. Amy Reserve. His experience might have influenced how he ran his school. He was known to walk around with a bull horn and a baseball bat. In Clark's first days of working, he expelled 300 students for breaking school rules. The students who remained at school believed that higher expectations were being placed on them. They felt more pressure to perform better.
Some praised his efforts at discipline while others criticized his methods. President Ronald Reagan offered Clark a White House policy adviser position after his success at the high school. In 1988, one teacher, said his methods were more like being in a labor camp than a public high school. In 1989, actor Morgan Freeman played Clark in the movie “Lean on Me.” That movie was based on Clark's experiences at Eastside. “Joe was a father figure to school kid,” Freeman said. “He was the best of the best in terms of education.” Recently, one of Joe Clark's former students, Thomas McEntyre said, “I never really got a chance to... thank him. We are your product. You did not fail us. No matter whether you kicked me out, you did not fail me. You bettered me."
After he retired from Eastside in 1989, Clark wrote a book called “Laying Down the Law: Joe Clark's Strategy for Saving Our Schools.” He described how he managed to turn Eastside High from a failing school into a success.
4. By saying “You are not inferior” to his students, Joe Clark meant to_________.
A. make the students face the reality B. lead the students to accept themselves
C press the students not to make mistakes D. encourage the students to better themselves
5. What does the underlined word “expelled” in paragraph 3 mean
A. Drew out. B. Kicked out. C. Brought out. D. Smoothed out.
6. Who criticized Joe Clark
A. The president B. One teacher. C. Morgan Freeman. D. Thomas McEntyre.
7. Which of the following best describes Joe Clark
A. Tough and unique. B. Demanding and humorous.
C. Kind and considerate. D. Well-meaning and professional.
C
Race walking shares many fitness benefits with running, research shows, while most likely leading to fewer injuries. It does, however, have its own problem.
Race walkers are conditioned(有身体条件的)athletes. The longest track and field event at the Summer Olympics is the 50-kilometer race walk, which is about five miles longer than the marathon. But the sport’s rules require that a race walker’s knees stay straight through most of the leg swing (摆 动)and one foot remain in contact with the ground at all times. It’s this strange form that makes race walking such an attractive activity, however, says Jaclyn Norberg, an assistant professor of exercise science at Salem State University in Salem, Mass.
Like running, race walking is physically demanding, she says. According to most data, race walkers moving at a pace of six miles per hour would burn about 800 calories(卡路里)per hour, which is about twice as many as they would burn walking, although fewer than running, which would probably burn about 1, 000 or more calories per hour.
However, race walking does not hit the body as hard as running does, Dr. Norberg says. According to her research, runners hit the ground with as much as four times their body weight per step, while race walkers, who do not leave the ground, create only about 1. 4 times their body weight with each step.
As a result, she says, some of the injuries connected with running, such as runner’s knee, are uncommon among race walkers. But the sport’s strange form does place much stress on the ankles (脚 踝) and hips (臀部), so people with a history of such injuries might want to be careful in adopting the sport. In fact, anyone wishing to try race walking should probably first communicate with a coach or experienced racer to learn proper skills, she says. It takes some practice.
8. Why are race walkers conditioned athletes
A. They must run long distances.
B. They do well in the marathon.
C. They have to follow special rules.
D. They are good at swinging their legs.
9. What advantage does race walking have over running
A. It’s more popular at the Olympics.
B. It’s less challenging physically.
C. It’s more effective in body building.
D. It’s less likely to cause knee injuries.
10. What is Dr. Norberg’s suggestion for someone trying race walking

Processed foods like chips, sodas and frozen pizzas are full of salt, sugar, and fat. Now, scientists are trying to understand if there is something else about such foods that may be bad for humans.
The researchers created a system that places foods into four groups. The system says highly processed foods are made mostly of industrialized materials and additives (添加剂). Sodas, packaged cookies, instant noodles and chicken nuggets (鸡肉块) are some examples of highly processed foods. But also included are products that can seem healthy, such as morning cereals, energy bars and some kinds of yogurt.
Researchers conducted a four-week study involving 20 people. They found that people ate about 500 more calories a day when fed mostly processed foods. That is compared to when the same people were given less processed foods. The researchers permitted the 20 participants to eat as much or as little as they wanted. They were taken to a medical center so their health and behavior could be observed. In another study, researchers in France found people who ate more processed foods were more likely to have heart disease. A similar study in Spain linked eating more processed foods to a higher risk of death in general.
The scientists also found that people ate processed foods more quickly. Kevin Hall is one of the researchers who led the study. He said that processed foods were usually softer and easier to chew and swallow. Hall noted the source of nutrients might make a difference. For example, fiber from fruit and vegetables may be better for making people feel full than fiber added to packaged foods such as energy bars and yogurt.
Avoiding processed foods can be hard, especially for people with limited time and money. Processed foods can also take many forms. In addition, companies continually re-engineer products to make them seem healthier. The newest studies may provide more reasons to avoid processed foods. But, they also call attention to the difficulty of coming up with ways to do that.
12. What kind of food do energy bars belong to
A. Highly processed foods. B. Especially beneficial foods.
C. Relatively high-cost foods. D. Fairly health-friendly foods.
13. What can we know about eating more processed foods in Paragraph 3
A. It can often result in death. B. It makes people get less calories.
C. It does harm to people potentially. D. It makes little difference to people’s health.
14. What is more likely to make people feel full
A. Fiber added to packaged foods.
B. Fiber from fruit and vegetables.
C. Highly processed foods like instant noodles.
D. Foods made mostly of industrial materials and additives.
15. What’s the main idea of the passage
A. Researches reveal more harm of processed foods .
B. Processed foods include a wide range of products.
C. People have a higher tendency of eating processed foods.
D. It is necessary for people to avoid highly processed foods.

Standing desks usually offer a full range of motion, which includes the option to sit or lean (倾斜身体) without losing eye-level of the rest of the class, and that full range of motion is important.
