One in five children starting primary school in the UK are overweight.By the time they leave school,that figure will rise to one in three.The chance of them being overweight in adulthood,which brings range of associated health risks,is high,at 50%-75%.
The root cause of diet-related fatness is no secret:an energy imbalance between the quantity of food being consumed and the level of physical activity being conducted.Addressing this imbalance needs to be,in part,a review of our diet.More fresh ingredients(原料) especially fruit and vegetables,less processed foods and fewer additives(添加剂) are all important factors in building a balanced diet.
The Department of Health has recognized that a collective approach,rather than just individual behavior change,is a successful way of achieving this.Universal adjustments like a blanket decrease in sugar content influence the way we eat through the choices available to us.
Applying this approach to school kitchens makes sense.They have an important role to play in maintaining healthy diets.Offering a school menu packed with fresh ingredients and without artificial additives makes a direct and effective impact on what children eat at school.
It’s an area the Soil Association consistently works to handle through its Food for Life program—working with schools to transform food culture,improve food education and encourage lasting changes to the way schools think about food.It works.In Food for Life schools,pupils are a third less likely to eat no fruit or vegetables than those in comparison schools.
One way for schools to get involved is a Food for Life Served Here award,which means at least 75% of dishes are prepared on site using fresh ingredients.It encourages local seasonal produce and,at silver or gold level,requires a commitment to environmentally friendly produce.At its heart,the award is designed to support health and enhance food understanding.
Over 50% of English primary schools have such an award,already—serving around 1.7 million meals each day to over 10,000 schools and it’s a figure we’ll see grow.
4.What does the underlined word “Addressing” in paragraph 2 mean
A.Tackling.　　　　B.Ignoring.
C.Maintaining. D.Postponing.
5.Which approach will work for students to build balanced diet
A.Stopping them eating alone in schools.
B.Getting them aware of the harm of fatness.
C.Ensuring healthy recipes on school menus.
D.Increasing the availability and flavor of food.
6.What can we say about the Food for Life program
A.It’s a heavy load on schools.
B.It’s complicated to operate.
C.It’s a temporary project.
D.It’s a fruitful attempt.
7.Which type of food may the Food for Life Served Here award promote
A.Sugary snacks.
B.First-class sausages.
C.High-quality imported beef.
D.Freshly picked organic beans.
C
A new study,published in The Journal of Experimental Psychology found that communication interactions that included voice,like a phone call or video chat,created stronger social bonds than communication through typing,like text messaging or email.
In the study,researchers used various experiments to gauge(评估;判断) connectedness.In one,they asked 200 people to make predictions about what it would be like to reconnect with an old friend by email or by phone and then assigned people at random to do one or the other.Although people anticipated that a phone call would be more awkward,hearing someone’s voice actually made the experience better.However,people who participated in the experiment reported that they did form a significantly stronger bond with their old friend on the phone versus email,and they did not feel more awkward.
In another experiment,the researchers had strangers connected by either texting,talking over video chat,or talking using only audio.They found that both forms of voice communication—whether video or audio only —made the strangers feel significantly more connected than when they communicated via text.
Sabrina Romanoff,a Harvard trained clinical psychologist based in New York City,says people tend to text or email instead of calling because of convenience,as they see it as a controlled form of communication where they can “correspond information exactly in the way they intend without unexpected additions by the other person”.
Romanoff says that in reality,texting can make it hard to determine the true meaning behind a conversation.A phone call is actually more convenient when considering the net effects of the message.Each party is more present,and therefore,able to gauge the meaning behind the content without ruminating on the endless possible meanings behind words and punctuation.
8.What is the purpose of the study
A.To encourage people to let their fingers do the talking.
B.To introduce the effects of verbal and non-verbal communications.
C.To demonstrate the strengths and weaknesses of making phone calls.
D.To compare connectedness of communication through voice and typing.
9.Which way will make you feel more connected if you miss a friend far away
A.Typing a letter.
B.Sending an email.
C.Having a video chat.
D.Texting a message.
10.What does “a controlled form of communication” refer to in paragraph 4
A.A way to talk about controlled topics.
B.A way to communicate without time limit.
C.A way to explain something without delay.
D.A way to express thoughts without being disturbed.
11.What advantage does making phone calls have over texting
A.Being more formal.
B.Being less awkward.
C.Being more straightforward.
D.Being less expensive.

(2023·新高考Ⅱ卷)
Reading Art:Art for Book Lovers is a celebration of an everyday object—the book,represented here in almost three hundred artworks from museums around the world.The image of the reader appears throughout history,in art made long before books as we now know them came into being.In artists’ representations of books and reading,we see moments of shared humanity that go beyond culture and time.
In this “book of books,” artworks are selected and arranged in a way that emphasizes these connections between different eras and cultures.We see scenes of children learning to read at home or at school,with the book as a focus for relations between the generations.Adults are portrayed(描绘) alone in many settings and poses—absorbed in a volume,deep in thought or lost in a moment of leisure.These scenes may have been painted hundreds of years ago,but they record moments we can all relate to.
Books themselves may be used symbolically in paintings to demonstrate the intellect(才智),wealth or faith of the subject.Before the wide use of the printing press,books were treasured objects and could be works of art in their own right.More recently,as books have become inexpensive or even throwaway,artists have used them as the raw material for artworks—transforming covers,pages or even complete volumes into paintings and sculptures.
Continued developments in communication technologies were once believed to make the printed page outdated.From a 21st-century point of view,the printed book is certainly ancient,but it remains as interactive as any battery-powered e-reader.To serve its function,a book must be activated by a user:the cover opened,the pages parted,the contents reviewed,perhaps notes written down or words underlined.And in contrast to our increasingly networked lives where the information we consume is monitored and tracked,a printed book still offers the chance of a wholly private,“off-line” activity.
12.Where is the text most probably taken from
A.An introduction to a book.
B.An essay on the art of writing.
C.A guidebook to a museum.
D.A review of modern paintings.
13.What are the selected artworks about
A.Wealth and intellect.
B.Home and school.
C.Books and reading.
D.Work and leisure.
14.What do the underlined words “relate to” in paragraph 2 mean
A.Understand. B.Paint.
C.Seize. D.Transform.
15.What does the author want to say by mentioning the e-reader
A.The printed book is not totally out of date.
B.Technology has changed the way we read.
C.Our lives in the 21st century are networked.
D.People now rarely have the patience to read.
Ⅱ.七选五
This summer,many areas of the US have been suffering historic droughts (干旱).Climate change has brought very high temperatures and less-than-normal rain and snow to the country.　1　.It also means hot weather,which can be hard to take.
　2　.Their civilization once thrived (繁荣) with its amazing architecture of pyramids and cities.One of the cities,Tikal,was built in what is now Guatemala.“It was quite a remarkable place,with temples towering above the top of the rainforest,” says Dunning.
Although the region is a tropical rainforest,Tikal was built in a place that got little rain for half the year.Additionally,it had no year-round lakes or rivers—although it did have an important spring.The Maya also did not have a system to reach groundwater.　3　.
“As Tikal grew,people there would have had to cut down parts of the surrounding rainforest to raise food.　4　to meet their needs for wood and other resources,” Dunning says.Dunning compares it to today’s practice of chopping down much larger parts of the Amazon rainforest to raise cattle for beef.He calls this deed “bad for the health of local environment and the global environment,too”.
The Maya would have used cut-and-burn techniques and let the forest grow back after a few years.
Although they changed the environment with their farming and other practices,the Maya had much less impact on the climate than we do now.The Maya understood that they had to have balance.　5　.You’ll pay a price,or someone will.
A.If you abuse the world,it’s going to come back
B.At the same time,they left enough of it in place
C.So they built tanks to collect and store rainwater
D.They would have served different,important purposes
E.That means there is less water to drink and less water for crops
F.Tikal was home to tens of thousands of people during the years 600 to 800
G.Thousands of years ago,the Maya people suffered from the same problems
