Ⅲ. 阅读理解
The brain-training app trains people to tap on images of healthy foods but to stop when they see unhealthy snacks, creating a link between these foods and stops. The new study, by the universities of Exeter and Helsinki, found that playing the game about once a day for a month led to an average one-point reduction of junk food consumption.
Generally, people who used the app more also reported great changes in their food intake. One app user wrote, “Really useful. I used to eat junk food two to four times a week and I have reduced this to once a week after using the app regularly for a month. My desire for junk food has been reduced greatly and I no longer eat in the evening mindlessly.”
The study used the app’s usage data, and the app regularly asked questions about how often users eat certain food, along with other information such as their age and weight. The findings suggested that using the app regularly was linked with big changes in eating habits.
The app is free and it only takes about four minutes per day, so it’s something people can do not just at home but at work and elsewhere. “From our results it seems important that you do the training at regular times and don’t just stop. Therefore, keep it interesting, so you won’t get bored with it. Personalize the app as much as possible and pick the food that you find really hard to resist,” said Natalia Lawrence, a professor of the University of Exeter.
The researchers stressed that their findings should be further proved, because there was no comparison group and other factors(such as the possibility that people who did more training were also more motivated to lose weight) could play a part in the results.
1. What is the purpose of the brain-training app
A. To help people lose weight.
B. To explain the harm of junk food.
C. To improve people’s eating habits.
D. To offer some fun games to players.
解析:推理判断题。根据第一段内容可知,这个应用程序训练人们点击健康食品的图像,而看到不健康的零食时就停下来,从而在这些食品和停止之间建立联系。研究发现,在一个月内每天玩一次这个游戏使垃圾食品的消耗量平均减少了一个百分点。由此可推断,该应用程序的目的是改善人们的饮食习惯。故选C。
答案:C
2. How does the author show the effect of the app
A. By comparing some food.
B. By making an experiment.
C. By quoting a user’s comments.
D. By introducing the app’s technology.
解析:推理判断题。根据第二段第二句内容可知,一个应用程序用户写道:“真的很有用。我过去每周吃两到四次垃圾食品,在经常使用这个应用程序一个月后,我已经减少到每周一次。”由此判断,作者通过引用一个用户的评论来说明这款应用程序的效果。故选C。
答案:C
3. What is required to ensure the effectiveness of the app
A. Paying for the app.
B. Using the app regularly.
C. Updating the app quite often.
D. Choosing the right place to play the game.
解析:细节理解题。根据第四段中的“From our results it seems important that you do the training at regular times and don’t just stop.”可推测出,为了确保这款应用程序的有效性,有规律、不间断地使用它是重要的。故选B。
答案:B
4. What is the researchers’ attitude towards their findings
A. Cautious. B. Clear.
C. Positive. D. Disappointed.
解析:推理判断题。根据最后一段第一句中的“The researchers stressed that their findings should be further proved”可知,研究人员强调该研究结果需要进一步被证实。由此推断,他们对该研究结果是持谨慎态度的。故选A。
答案:A

Ⅳ. 阅读理解
Understanding the link between the clean environment and human life is not a new concept. In fact, it was noticed as early as ancient Roman times. Today we see how green living has influenced our everyday lives. There is a growing community of people who embrace a zero waste lifestyle and make changes to the way they live to reduce their carbon footprint.
Living a zero waste lifestyle means doing one’s best to achieve the aim of not sending anything to a landfill. People who adopt this lifestyle ultimately cut down on their waste by reducing what they need and want. They reuse what they own, sending few things to be recycled.
Many people who adopt the zero waste lifestyle claim to be frustrated by the many harmful chemical substances found in beauty and cleaning products. They also find the uses of disposable items and excessive packaging the same. For example, how many times have we had to peel away layers of plastic wrap and cardboard before finally taking out the item which we had bought Instead of buying prepackaged food and goods, those who identify with the zero waste philosophy tend to shop in stores that allow them to make purchases and bring their own cloth bags and glass jars to store their purchases.
Many people have the misconception that it is easier to live a zero waste lifestyle in the West. Nevertheless, Malaysian environmental journalist, Ms Aurora Tin, has proven that a zero waste lifestyle is possible even in the Asian context. Instead of going to the supermarket to buy prepackaged foods, Ms Tin now visits the wet market and brings her own bags for vegetables. She has even stopped using store-bought toothpaste and make her own toothpaste from coconut oil and baking soda.

A
For some people, walking or running outdoors is a great way to work out. What may not be so pleasant is seeing trash all over the ground. Well, some people are doing something about it. They are plogging!
“Plogging” began in Sweden. The name combines the Swedish word “plocka”, which means “to pick up”, and the word “jogging”, which means “to run slowly”. A Swedish man named Erik, started the movement in 2016. On the World Environment Day website, Erik says that he moved to Stockholm from a small community in northern Sweden. Each day he would ride his bike to work. Concerned about the amount of trash and litter he saw each day on his way to work, he took matters into his own hands.
Plogging, by that term, may have officially begun in Sweden. But many people who exercise outdoors have been doing this for years. Take Jeff Horowitz for example. He is a personal trainer in Washington, D.C. He often picks up trash while running outside. He even has turned it into a game; he will try to pick up the trash without stopping. “I didn’t know it was a thing really. This is just my personal ethics(道德标准), where I go for a run and if I happen to see a piece of garbage lying around and it’s within reach—it is a kind of a little test for me to see if I can grab it and throw it in a near trash can without stopping. And that way, I think, it gives me a little exercise and a little focus for my run. And it helps clean up the neighbourhood,” he announced.
Today, plogging is an official activity, one that is becoming increasingly popular. Cities around the world now hold plogging events. “I would just hope people would think twice before dropping garbage on the ground. We have containers on every block. So, it’s easy to put your garbage in the trash cans. I just think people should think about it a little bit more. I do hope one day there will not be a need for plogging,” said an interviewee.
1. Which of the following can replace the underlined phrase “took matters into his own hands”
A. Called on people to join him.
B. Appealed to people to go green.
C. Began to pick up the trash.
D. Had the collected trash recycled.

Is Fresh Air Really Good for You
We all grew up hearing people tell us to “go out and get some fresh air”. 5. According to recent studies, the answer is a big YES, if the air quality in your camping area is good.
6. If the air you’re breathing is clean—which it would be if you’re away from the smog of cities—then the air is filled with life-giving, energising oxygen. If you exercise out of doors, your body will learn to breathe more deeply, allowing even more oxygen to get to your muscles(肌肉) and your brain.
Recently, people have begun studying the connection between the natural world and healing(治愈). 7. In these places, patients can go to be near nature during their recovery. It turns out that just looking at green, growing things can reduce stress, lower blood pressure and put people into a better mood(情绪). Greenery is good for us. Hospital patients who see tree branches out their window are likely to recover at a faster rate than patients who see buildings or sky instead. 8. It gives us a great feeling of peace.
9. While the sun’s rays can age and harm our skin, they also help us make up beneficial vitamin D. To make sure you get enough vitamin D—but still protect your skin—put on sunscreen right as you head outside. It takes sunscreen about fifteen minutes to start working, and that’s plenty of time for your skin to absorb a day’s worth of vitamin D.
A. Fresh air cleans our lungs.
B. So what are you waiting for
C. Being in nature refreshes us.
D. Another side benefit of getting fresh air is sunlight.
E. But is fresh air really as good for you as your mother always said
F. Just as importantly, we tend to associate fresh air with health care.
G. All across the country, recovery centres have begun building Healing Gardens.
5. 解析:全文的主旨句是“go out and get some fresh air”。根据后句“the answer is a big YES”可知前句是一个问句。七个选项有两个是问句,一个特殊疑问句,一个一般疑问句,只有一般疑问句才能用yes来回答。故选E。
答案:E
6. 解析:空格处就是本段的中心句。整段从侧面说明新鲜空气对人体有好处的一个理由。结合本段内容可以归纳出中心句,即新鲜空气可以净化我们的肺部。故选A。
答案:A
7. 解析:本段的中心意思是患者走近自然有利于身体的恢复。前句“最近,人们开始研究自然界和疗治的关系”,后句“在这些地方,患者可以在恢复期亲近自然”,所以G项(全国各地的康复中心开始建造疗养花园)符合语境。故选G。
答案:G
8. 解析:前句“常看到窗外树枝的住院患者比常看到大楼或天空的患者可能恢复得更快”,后句“它给我们一种平和的感觉”,所以“Being in nature refreshes us.”承上启下。故选C。
答案:C
9. 解析:本段陈述新鲜空气的另一个好处。空格处是本段的中心句。这里提出呼吸新鲜空气带来的另一个好处是阳光。下文的内容都是对中心句的拓展。故选D。
答案:D

3. 解析:句意:它的计算方法是用一个人的体重(以千克为单位)除以身高(以米为单位)的平方,BMI在19到25之间被认为是健康的。a person’s weight意为“一个人的体重”。故填person’s。

答案:is considered

答案:lower
