A
With the new semester about to start, our school is welcoming a group of new international students. We have some apps here with an English version that will make your life easier. We hope you will have a wonderful life here.
★WeChat
WeChat is now the most popular social media app in China. Almost everyone is using WeChat. You can send both text and voice messages on WeChat. You can also make voice and video calls. You can also post texts, pictures and video clips. If your friends in your home country have this app, you can also chat with them through voice or video. WeChat is also widely used now as a form of payment which can be used in stores, online, and in other shopping apps.
★Alipay
Alipay is a similar app to PayPal. It was first used on Taobao and now people can use it as a mobile payment option. You can even use mobile payment at street vendors, so if you have this app, you can leave your wallet at home.
★Didi
Now Didi seems to be the smartest way to travel around. With one tap, a car comes directly to you. Didi is a Chinese car-hailing service app. It has a function called “ride sharing”, which saves a lot of money for passengers, but it does not have an English version, so if you want to use it, you will have to learn some Chinese.
★Pleco
This is one of the top Chinese/English dictionary apps and it covers 130,000 Chinese words and includes 20,000 example sentences with pinyin. It is perfect for those who want to learn Chinese, and also for tourists who need to translate words or phrases from English to Chinese.
1. Alipay was originally developed to ________.
A. pay for a car-hailing service
B. compete with WeChat in payments
C. be used on online shopping website Taobao
D. be convenient for people who leave their wallet at home

3. Which app is helpful for learning Chinese
A. Didi. B. Pleco. C. WeChat. D. Alipay.
【答案】1. C 2. A 3. B

【1题详解】
细节理解题。根据★Alipay部分中“It was first used on Taobao and now people can use it as a mobile payment option.(它最初在淘宝上使用，现在人们可以把它作为一种移动支付选项)”可知，最初开发支付宝是为了在网上购物网站淘宝上使用。故选C。
【2题详解】
细节理解题。根据★Didi部分中“It has a function called “ride sharing”, which saves a lot of money for passengers, but it does not have an English version, so if you want to use it, you will have to learn some Chinese.(它有一个叫“拼车”的功能，这为乘客节省了很多钱，但它没有英文版本，所以如果你想使用它，你必须学习一些中文)”可知，如果一个外国朋友想使用滴滴，他应该学习一些汉语。故选A。
【3题详解】
细节理解题。根据★Pleco部分中“It is perfect for those who want to learn Chinese, and also for tourists who need to translate words or phrases from English to Chinese.(它非常适合那些想学中文的人，也适合那些需要将英语单词或短语翻译成中文的游客)”可知，Pleco对学习中文有帮助。故选B。

The day before yesterday, when Peter’s family were having dinner, Father raised an interesting question, “Was there anything in our past that we feel ashamed of, guilty about, or regretted Maybe we can find ways to say sorry, or take some action to right any wrongdoing.” This seemed like a very private matter, but Peter thought about it carefully the whole night.
Peter remembered an incident from middle school. In his school, there was a worker, Neil Stone, who none of the kids liked. One night, Peter and two of his classmates decided to play a trick on him. They found a can of red paint, and wrote on the school main road in bright red: Neil Stone is a fool! The next day, the whole school saw these words. Within two hours, Neil had Peter and his two classmates in his office. His classmates said that they had done it but Peter lied and denied the truth.
This morning, Peter went back to his middle school. Neil Stone is still working there. “Sorry, Neil. Do you still remember what happened ten years ago I want you to know that I did it.” “I knew it!’ Neil laughed. They had a good laugh and a lively discussion. Neil’s closing words were: “Peter, I always felt bad for you because your classmates got it off their mind, and I knew you were carrying it around all these years. I want to thank you for visiting me… for your sake.”

Returning to a book you’ve read many times can feel like drinks with an old friend. There’s a welcome familiarity - but also sometimes a slight suspicion that time has changed you both, and thus the relationship. But books don’t change, people do. And that’s what makes the act of rereading so rich and transformative.
The beauty of rereading lies in the idea that our bond with the work is based on our present mental register. It’s true, the older I get, the more I feel time has wings. But with reading, it’s all about the present. It’s about the now and what one contributes to the now, because reading is a give and take between author and reader. Each has to pull their own weight.
There are three books I reread annually .The first, which I take to reading every spring is Emest Hemningway’s A Moveable Feast. Published in 1964, it’s his classic memoir of 1920s Paris. The language is almost intoxicating (令人陶醉的)，an aging writer looking back on an ambitious yet simpler time. Another is Annie Dillard’s Holy the Firm, her poetic 1975 ramble (随笔) about everything and nothing. The third book is Julio Cortazar’s Save Twilight: Selected Poems, because poetry. And because Cortazar.
While I tend to buy a lot of books, these three were given to me as gifs, which might add to the meaning I attach to them. But I imagine that, while money is indeed wonderful and necessary, rereading an author’s work is the highest currency a reader can pay them. The best books are the ones that open further as time passes. But remember, it’s you that has to grow and read and reread in order to better understand your friends.
8. Why does the author like rereading
A. It evaluates the writer-reader relationship.
B. It’s a window to a whole new world.
C. It’s a substitute for drinking with a friend.
D. It extends the understanding of oneself.
9. What do we know about the book A Moveable Feast
A. It’s a brief account of a trip.
B. It’s about Hemingway’s life as a young man.
C. It’s a record of a historic event.
D. It’s about Hemingway’s friends in Paris.
10. What does the underlined word ＂currency＂ in paragraph 4 refer to
A. Debt
B. Reward.
C. Allowance.
D. Face value.
11. What can we infer about the author from the text
A. He loves poetry.
B. He’s an editor.
C. He’s very ambitious.
D. He teaches reading.
【答案】8. D 9. B 10. B 11. A
【解析】
【分析】这是一篇说明文。短文介绍了重新阅读的意义和益处并向读者介绍了作者每年重读的三本书。作者鼓励读者去重新阅读书籍。
【8题详解】
推理判断题。根据第一段最后两句“But books don’t change, people do. And that’s what makes the act of rereading so rich and transformative.(但是书没变，人变了。那就是使重新阅读行为如此丰富和富于变化之处)”和第二段“The beauty of rereading lies in that our bond with the work is based on our present register. It is true, the older I get, the more I feel time has wings.(重新阅读的美妙之处在于我们与作品的联系是基于我们现在的心理状态。真的，我年纪越大，就越觉得时光飞逝。)”可推知，作者喜欢重新阅读是因为重新阅读可以扩展对自己的理解。故选D项。
【9题详解】
推理判断题。根据倒数第二段“Published in 1964, it’s his classic memoir of 1920s Paris.”及“an aging writer looking back on an ambitious yet simpler time”可知，这本书出版于1964年，这是他关于20世纪20年代在巴黎的经典回忆录，是他老年时对那些野心勃勃却更简单的日子的回顾。由此可判断出A Movable Feast是关于海明威年轻时的生活。故选B项。
【10题详解】
词义猜测题。根据最后一段中“while money is indeed wonderful and necessary,(虽然金钱确实是美妙而必要的)”可知，前后句为转折关系，根据上下文的语境可推知，“rereading an author’s work is the highest currency a reader can pay them.”意为“但是但重新阅读作品是读者能支付给他们的最高回报”，由此判断出划线词的意思是“回报”。故选B项。
【11题详解】
推理判断题。根据倒数第二段“The third book is Julio Cortázar’s Save Twilight: selected poems, because poetry.(第三本书是胡里奥·科塔扎的《拯救暮光之城: 诗歌精选》，因为诗歌)”可知，作者是由于喜欢诗歌而喜欢这本书。故选A项。
D
Most of us want to get in shape and be healthy. For many of us nutrition (营养) and watching what we eat is an important way to stay healthy. But when it comes to food, what is calorie counting, and what are the positives and negatives of it
A law in the UK came into force in April 2022 that requires restaurants takeaways, and cafes to display the calorie information of non-pre-packed food and soft drinks on their menus. It’s a strategy aimed to deal with obesity (肥胖) and give people a more informed choice of what goes down into their stomachs. Being able to count calories and know how much we can eat is a great way to try and stay on track with our diet.
However, there are some disbelievers when it comes to calorie counting. 200 calories of fresh fruit and 200 calories of junk food, for example cookies, have the same caloric value. However, there is a question of the health benefits of what you’re eating, regardless of calories. While fresh fruit like apples contains things like vitamin C, junk food could contain an unhealthy level of sugar and fats. Likewise (同样地), fruit may fill you up and leave you not wanting more food for longer than a biscuit with equal calories - meaning, overall, you eat less.
Simply counting calories, while useful for weight loss, doesn’t take into account your intake of good fats, carbohydrates, and proteins - things that your body needs. So, if you’re trying to stick to a low-carbon diet, just looking at numbers of calories on a menu won’t be that useful. So, always be mindful that what you’re eating is part of a healthy balanced diet.
12. What’s the aim of the newly-passed law in the UK
A. To ensure food security. B. To direct the food industry.
C. To help reduce obesity. D. To get tough with the businessmen.
13. What opinion do disbelievers hold
A. Calorie alone doesn’t contribute to health. B. Junk food has more calories than fresh fruit.
C. Less calories mean less food in your stomach. D. Sugar and fats are more harmful than calories.
14. What’s the text mainly about
A. The best way to keep in shape. B. A research result of obesity in the UK.
C. Nutrition and its health benefit. D. Opinions and comments on calorie counting.
15. From which section of a magazine is this text most likely taken
A. Entertainment. B. Lifestyle. C. Finance. D. Education.
【答案】12. C 13. A 14. D 15. B
【解析】
【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍了考虑到健康问题，我们是否应该计算卡路里。
【12题详解】
细节理解题。根据第二段“A law in the UK came into force in April 2022 that requires restaurants, takeaways, and cafes to display the calorie information of non-pre-packed food and soft drinks on their menus. It’s a strategy aimed to deal with obesity (肥胖) and give people a more informed choice of what goes down into their stomachs. (英国一项法律于2022年4月生效，要求餐馆、外卖和咖啡馆在菜单上显示非预包装食品和软饮料的卡路里信息。这是一种旨在应对肥胖的策略，让人们更明智地选择哪些食物进入了他们的胃。)”可知，英国新通过的这项法律的目的是帮助减少肥胖。故选C。
【13题详解】
细节理解题。根据第三段“However, there are some disbelievers when it comes to calorie counting. 200 calories of fresh fruit and 200 calories of junk food, for example cookies, have the same caloric value. However, there is a question of the health benefits of what you’re eating, regardless of calories. (然而，有一些人不相信计算卡路里。200卡路里的新鲜水果和200卡路里的垃圾食品(如饼干)具有相同的热值。然而，不管卡路里多少，你所吃的东西对健康的益处是有问题的。)”可知，不相信的人认为热量本身对健康无益。故选A。
【14题详解】
主旨大意题。根据第一段“But when it comes to food, what is calorie counting, and what are the positives and negatives of it (但说到食物，什么是卡路里计算，它的优点和缺点是什么 )”和最后一段“Simply counting calories, while useful for weight loss, doesn’t take into account your intake of good fats, carbohydrates, and proteins - things that your body needs. So, if you’re trying to stick to a low-carbon diet, just looking at numbers of calories on a menu won’t be that useful. So, always be mindful that what you’re eating is part of a healthy balanced diet.(简单地计算卡路里，虽然对减肥有用，但没有考虑到你摄入的有益脂肪、碳水化合物和蛋白质——你身体需要的东西。所以，如果你想坚持低碳饮食，只看菜单上的卡路里数量并没有那么有用。所以，一定要记住，你所吃的是健康均衡饮食的一部分。)”可知，这篇文章主要讲的是卡路里计算的必要性和它的不足之处，从而让我们读者明了该不该计算卡路里。即关于卡路里计算的意见和评论。故选D。
【15题详解】
推理判断题。根据全文可知，文章主要介绍了考虑到健康问题，我们是否应该计算卡路里，与健康生活有关，从而推断，文章最有可能是从杂志的生活方式栏目选取的。故选B。

Summer is the season of family travel. ___16___ Here are our top 5 things to teach your children before entering big crowds:
How Far They Can Go — ___17___ For young children, you should set a rule of always holding a parent’s hand. For older kids, you may be comfortable with a “I can always see you and you can always see me” rule.
To Call Your Real Name — Teach your children that you will find them, so it’s best if they stay in one place. What’s more, teach them to call out your full name instead of “Mommy” or “Daddy” to help you more easily find them.
How to Identify a “Safe Person” — Make sure your children know the best people to approach if they get separated from you. Employees working at the place you‘re visiting are generally always good, “safe people”. But what about places that may not have employees, like the beach ___18___ Experts say that moms are often the most willing and best-equipped people to help kids.
What to say — ___19___ Remember that if your children do get separated from you, they will likely be panicked (恐慌), so don’t assume that they will know how to tell strangers that they are lost. Role-play getting lost and using simple sentences like, “I am lost” with your kids to help them know what to do if it actually happens.
Their Personal Information — Make sure your children know as much basic personal information as possible, including their full names, parents’ full names and telephone numbers and the address.___20___
A. Teach your children to look for a mom with kids.
B. Sometimes it’s not hard to find a safe person in such places.
C. But do your kids know what to do if they get separated from you
D. If your kids are too young to remember them, write them down!
E. It can be hard for people to help a lost child.
F. Tell your children to behave normally when they get lost.
G. It’s important to talk with your children about how close you expect them to stay to you.
【答案】16. C 17. G 18. A 19. F 20. D
【解析】
【分析】本文是一篇说明文。文章介绍的是教育孩子在外出旅游时应注意的安全问题，以及与大人走散时的正确做法。
【16题详解】
下文“Here are our top 5 things to teach your children before entering big crowds”说明以下是在你的孩子进入人群前要教你的5件事。C项“But do your kids know what to do if they get separated from you (但是你的孩子知道如果他们和你分开了该怎么做吗？)”能够承上启下，能够引入下文主题。故选C。
【17题详解】
本段主旨“How Far They Can Go”说明他们能走多远，本段讲的是让孩子知道与大人保持的距离范围。G项“It’s important to talk with your children about how close you expect them to stay to you.(和你的孩子谈谈你希望他们多亲近你是很重要的)”中的how close to stay和文中的how far they can go相对应。故选G。.
【18题详解】
下文“Experts say that moms are often the most willing and best-equipped people to help kids.(专家说，母亲通常是最有意愿和最有能力帮助孩子的人)”说明妈妈是最乐意提供帮助的最佳人选。A项“Teach your children to look for a mom with kids.(教孩子寻找一个带了孩子的妈妈)”符合题意。故选A。
【19题详解】
下文“Remember that if your children do get separated from you, they will likely be panicked (恐慌), so don’t assume that they will know how to tell strangers that they are lost.(记住，如果你的孩子和你走散了，他们很可能会惊慌失措，所以不要认为他们知道如何告诉陌生人他们迷路了)”说明孩子在失散后有可能会恐慌，不知道如何表达。F项“Tell your children to behave normally when they get lost.(告诉你的孩子迷路时要正常地表达)”符合题意。故选F。
【20题详解】
上文“Make sure your children know as much basic personal information as possible, including their full names, parents’ full names and telephone numbers and the address.”说明确保你的孩子知道尽可能多的基本个人信息，包括他们的全名，父母的全名，电话号码和地址。D项“If your kids are too young to remember them, write them down! (如果你的孩子太小记不住，把它们写下来)”中的them指的就是上文提到的基本个人信息。故选D。

【解析】
【分析】这是一篇说明文。用英语记日记是提高英语写作能力的有效方法之一，文章主要介绍了用英语记日记时遇到的一些困难和一些解决方法。
【41题详解】
考查非谓语动词。句意：与其他写作形式相比，它更简短并且花费更少的时间。本句主语it指代上文中提到的“Keeping a diary in English”，动词compare与主语之间是动宾关系，应用过去分词作状语。故填Compared。
【42题详解】
考查形容词比较级。根据“other forms of writing”及“it is shorter”可知，这里是与其他写作形式相比，空处应与“shorter”保持一致，使用形容词little 的比较级less。故填less。
【43题详解】
考查条件状语从句。句意：如果我们一直练习，渐渐地我们将学会如何用英语表达我们自己。分析句子可知，这里是条件状语从句，表示“如果”我们坚持练习，故填If。
【44题详解】
考查名词复数。句意：在用英语记日记中，我们当然会碰到许多困难的事。该空为with的宾语，且被many修饰，所以应填名词的复数形式，故填difficulties 。
【45题详解】
考查代词。句意：首先，我们找不到合适的单词和短语来表达我们的思想，这样的事情经常发生。此处是形式主语，真正的主语是that引导的从句，形式主语应使用it充当。故填it。
【46题详解】
考查非谓语动词。have trouble (in) doing sth.是固定搭配，意为“做某事有困难”，in可省略，故填finding。
【47题详解】
考查固定结构。句意：在我看来，我的建议是我们应该有个笔记本和汉英词典在手边。as far as I am concerned是固定结构，意为“在我看来；就我而言”，故填am concerned。
【48题详解】
考查固定搭配中的介词。句意：无论何时我们遇到不会用英语表达的事情时，首先我们可以把它写在笔记本上，然后查阅我们的字典。refer to是固定搭配，意为“查阅，参考，提及”，故填to。
【49题详解】
考查形容词。句意：总之，我认为用英语记日记对于我们写作技巧的提高很有用。根据空前“it is very”可知，此处应用形容词作表语，useful意为“有用的”，故填useful。
【50题详解】
考查冠词。根据空后“development of our writing skills”可知，该处特指我们写作能力的提高，故应使用定冠词the来修饰 development。故填the。
第三节：单词填空(每题1分,共10分)
51. It was so cloudy that the top of the mountain was ________ (看不见).(根据汉语提示单词拼写)
【答案】invisible
【解析】

53. ________________(ask) to work overtime that evening, I missed a wonderful film.
【答案】Having been asked
【解析】
【详解】考查非谓语动词。句意：由于那天晚上被要求加班，我错过了一部精彩的电影。ask与I之间是被动关系，而且发生在missed之前，所以用现在分词被动完成式作状语，故填Having been asked。
54. Pressed from his parents, and ________ (realize) that he has wasted too much time, Tom is determined to stop playing computer games. (所给词的适当形式填空)
【答案】realizing
【解析】
【详解】考查非谓语动词。句意：迫于父母的压力，又意识到自己浪费了太多时间，汤姆决心不再玩电脑游戏。句中谓语是is determined，空格处用非谓语动词，Tom和realize之间是主谓关系，因此空格处用现在分词表主动，故填realizing。

【答案】crying
【解析】
【详解】考查动名词。句意：简重重地关上门，突然哭了起来。办公室里没有人知道她为什么这么生气。burst out crying是固定短语，意为“突然哭了起来”，因此空格处是动名词crying。故填crying。
59. Large amounts of money ________ (be) spent on the construction of the school last year. (所给词的适当形式填空)
【答案】were
【解析】
【详解】考查时态和主谓一致。句意：去年在学校的建设上花了大量的钱。Large amounts of修饰不可数名词时，谓语动词根据amounts来确定，amounts是复数，因此空格处用复数，由last year可知，时态用一般过去时，空格处用过去式were，故填were。
60. What ________ (特征) differ the Americans from the Canadians. (根据汉语提示单词拼写)
【答案】characteristics

Last summer, I took a part in voluntary work, helping elderly people. I delivered meals to some old people live alone. Nervous and exciting, I knocked on the door of a 90-year-old man on the first day. To my surprise, there is no answer. I kept knocking unless one of his neighbors turned up, saying the old man might have gone outside. Soon the man returned but accepted my meal. My experiences have shown that I can bring joy with old people. Everyone will face the fact when their parents grow older and become dependent on their children. The voluntary works has increased my confidence and I believe I able to help more people.
【答案】1.去掉a
2. live→ living
3. exciting→ excited
4. is→ was
5. unless→ until/till
6. but→ and
7. with→ to
8. when→ that
9 works→ work
10. able前加am
【解析】
【导语】本文是一篇记叙文。文章主要讲述了作者去年夏天做志愿者工作，帮助老人的故事。
【详解】1. 考查固定短语。句意：去年夏天，我参加了志愿工作，帮助老年人。固定短语：take part in，意为“参加、参与”。故将a去掉。
2. 考查非谓语动词。句意：我给独居老人送饭。这里非谓语动词担当后置定语，和被修饰词“old people”之间为主动关系，用现在分词形式。故将live改为living。
3. 考查形容词。句意：第一天，我既紧张又兴奋地敲开了一位90岁老人的门。修饰人，表示“感到兴奋的”，用形容词excited。故将exciting改为excited。
4. 考查谓语动词。句意：令我吃惊的是，竟然没有人回答。根据上下文可知，这件事发生在过去，本句应为一般过去时。故将is改为was。
5. 考查状语从句。句意：我不停地敲门，直到他的一个邻居来了，说老人可能出去了。这里为时间状语从句的连接词，根据句意可知，作者一直敲门到邻居来。所以用until或till。故将unless改为until或till。
6. 考查连词。句意：不久，那人回来接受了我的饭菜。前一动词“returned”和后一动词“accepted”之间没有转折关系，只有延续关系。故将but改为and。
7. 考查固定搭配。句意：我的经历表明，我可以给老人带来快乐。固定搭配：bring…to…，意为“将……带给……”。故将with改为to。
8. 考查同位语从句。句意：每个人都会面对这样一个事实，他们的父母变老，变得依赖他们的孩子。名词the fact之后的同位语从句，从句中不缺少成分，且句意完整，所以用连接代词that引导。故将when改为that。
9. 考查名词的数。句意：志愿工作增加了我的信心，我相信我能够帮助更多的人。名词work意为“工作”时为不可数名词。故将works改为work。
10. 考查固定搭配。句意：志愿工作增加了我的信心，我相信我能够帮助更多的人。固定搭配：be able to，意为“能够做……”。根据主句时态判断从句为一般现在时，故在able前加am。

I think the Internet has a negative effect on our lives.
First of all, while the Internet is very convenient for information, it is difficult to tell whether the information is true and accurate. Besides, the Internet damage students’ ability to live a normal life. Students who spend much time on the Internet don't know how to communicate with their classmates face to face. In addition, surfing the Internet is a waste of time. In fact, most students are playing computer games or chatting instead of studying their lessons or looking for information. What's worse, a few students are so addicted to surfing the Internet that they often skip classes in order to go on line for fun.
In short, if we students want to surf the Internet, we must set a time limit for it.

The day before yesterday, when Peter’s family were having dinner, Father raised an interesting question, “Was there anything in our past that we feel ashamed of, guilty about, or regretted Maybe we can find ways to say sorry, or take some action to right any wrongdoing.” This seemed like a very private matter, but Peter thought about it carefully the whole night.
Peter remembered an incident from middle school. In his school, there was a worker, Neil Stone, who none of the kids liked. One night, Peter and two of his classmates decided to play a trick on him. They found a can of red paint, and wrote on the school main road in bright red: Neil Stone is a fool! The next day, the whole school saw these words. Within two hours, Neil had Peter and his two classmates in his office. His classmates said that they had done it but Peter lied and denied the truth.
This morning, Peter went back to his middle school. Neil Stone is still working there. “Sorry, Neil. Do you still remember what happened ten years ago I want you to know that I did it.” “I knew it!’ Neil laughed. They had a good laugh and a lively discussion. Neil’s closing words were: “Peter, I always felt bad for you because your classmates got it off their mind, and I knew you were carrying it around all these years. I want to thank you for visiting me… for your sake.”
Peter knows that no matter how difficult the situation is, it is never too late to clear up the past and make a fresh start.

Returning to a book you’ve read many times can feel like drinks with an old friend. There’s a welcome familiarity - but also sometimes a slight suspicion that time has changed you both and thus the relationship. But books don’t change, people do. And that’s what makes the act of rereading so rich and transformative.
The beauty of rereading lies in the idea that our bond with the work is based on our present mental register. It’s true, the older I get, the more I feel time has wings. But with reading, it’s all about the present. It’s about the now and what one contributes to the now, because reading is a give and take between author and reader. Each has to pull their own weight.
There are three books I reread annually .The first, which I take to reading every spring is Emest Hemningway’s A Moveable Feast. Published in 1964, it’s his classic memoir of 1920s Paris. The language is almost intoxicating (令人陶醉的)，an aging writer looking back on an ambitious yet simpler time. Another is Annie Dillard’s Holy the Firm, her poetic 1975 ramble (随笔) about everything and nothing. The third book is Julio Cortazar’s Save Twilight: Selected Poems, because poetry. And because Cortazar.
While I tend to buy a lot of books, these three were given to me as gifs, which might add to the meaning I attach to them. But I imagine that, while money is indeed wonderful and necessary, rereading an author’s work is the highest currency a reader can pay them. The best books are the ones that open further as time passes. But remember, it’s you that has to grow and read and reread in order to better understand your friends.

Most of us want to get in shape and be healthy. For many of us nutrition (营养) and watching what we eat is an important way to stay healthy. But when it comes to food, what is calorie counting, and what are the positives and negatives of it
A law in the UK came into force in April 2022 that requires restaurants, takeaways, and cafes to display the calorie information of non-pre-packed food and soft drinks on their menus. It’s a strategy aimed to deal with obesity (肥胖) and give people a more informed choice of what goes down into their stomachs. Being able to count calories and know how much we can eat is a great way to try and stay on track with our diet.
However, there are some disbelievers when it comes to calorie counting. 200 calories of fresh fruit and 200 calories of junk food, for example cookies, have the same caloric value. However, there is a question of the health benefits of what you’re eating, regardless of calories. While fresh fruit like apples contains things like vitamin C, junk food could contain an unhealthy level of sugar and fats. Likewise (同样地), fruit may fill you up and leave you not wanting more food for longer than a biscuit with equal calories - meaning, overall, you eat less.
Simply counting calories, while useful for weight loss, doesn’t take into account your intake of good fats, carbohydrates, and proteins - things that your body needs. So, if you’re trying to stick to a low-carbon diet, just looking at numbers of calories on a menu won’t be that useful. So, always be mindful that what you’re eating is part of a healthy balanced diet.
12. What’s the aim of the newly-passed law in the UK
A. To ensure food security. B. To direct the food industry.
C. To help reduce obesity. D. To get tough with the businessmen.
13. What opinion do disbelievers hold
A. Calorie alone doesn’t contribute to health. B. Junk food has more calories than fresh fruit.
C. Less calories mean less food in your stomach. D. Sugar and fats are more harmful than calories.
14. What’s the text mainly about
A. The best way to keep in shape. B. A research result of obesity in the UK.
C. Nutrition and its health benefit. D. Opinions and comments on calorie counting.
15. From which section of a magazine is this text most likely taken
A. Entertainment. B. Lifestyle. C. Finance. D. Education.

I kept knocking unless one of his neighbors turned up, saying the old man might have gone outside. Soon the man returned but accepted my meal.
