Peter, 60, loved his job as a bus driver. He had been one almost all his life, loving the little children who rode his bus daily. It made him feel much younger. His record was clean, without one accident, which made him a trustworthy driver.
However, Mr. Clark, Peter’s boss, was worried and thought that it was time for him to retire (退休). “You don’t have a choice here, Peter.” he said seriously. “We don’t want to invite any risk to the children.”
“But I have a perfect record,” reasoned Peter. “You know, for an elderly man like me, my job is the only thing that keeps me alive. I want to keep my job.”
“Would you take responsibility if something bad happened to those children ” Mr. Clark said.
Peter thought it over, and very reluctantly, he gave in to Mr. Clark’s request. Peter decided to retire a week later.
The day before his last day, Peter was dropping of the kids at his first stop when he looked out of the window and saw a lady who had passed out. He asked the kids not to leave the bus and got down to help the woman.
Just when he finished, he heard cries behind him. The children were looking out of the window and shouting. “Fire! Fire! Help!” “How could that have happened ” Peter was shaking in fear. With shaking hands, Peter dialed 911 and rushed to help the children. Covering himself with his jacket, Peter rushed into the burning car and took the children out one by one. Thankfully, the firefighters arrived soon and helped Peter, saving all students.
The next day, Peter found the whole school standing in front of his home. When Peter got close to them, Mr. Clark started clapping and everyone joined him. “You are a hero, Peter! You saved the lives of those young children.” he said. “You are the best driver. We hope you can keep the job!”

【导语】本文是一篇记叙文。文章主要讲述了Peter是一位校车司机，但是他的老板认为他已经到了退休年龄，开车不安全，所以要求他退休，Peter很舍不得离开这个岗位，在工作的最后一天，他下车去救一位晕倒的女士，回来后发现校车着火了，于是他冒火将孩子从校车中救出来，家长们都为他鼓掌，让他继续当校车司机
【4题详解】
细节理解题。根据第二段中“However, Mr. Clark, Peter’s boss, was worried and thought that it was time for him to retire (退休). (然而，彼得的老板克拉克先生很担心，认为他是时候退休了)”可知，Mr. Clark认为彼得到了退休的年龄了。由此可知，他担心彼得太老了，当不了校车司机。故选C。

I want to keep my job.” (“但是我有一个完美的记录,”彼得争辩道。“你知道，对于像我这样的老人来说，我的工作是唯一能让我活下去的东西。我想保住我的工作。”)”和划线单词下文“he gave in to Mr. Clark’s request. Peter decided to retire a week later. (他答应了克拉克先生的要求。彼得决定一个星期后退休)”可知，彼得不想退休，还想继续当司机。由此推知，他不情愿地答应了克拉克先生让他退休的决定，划线单词reluctantly意为“不乐意地”。故选B。
【6题详解】
细节理解题。根据倒数第二段中“The children were looking out of the window and shouting. “Fire! Fire! Help!” ( 孩子们看着窗外，尖叫着，“着火了！着火了！救命！”) ”和“Covering himself with his jacket, Peter rushed into the burning car and took the children out one by one. (彼得用夹克盖住自己，冲进着火的汽车，把孩子们一个一个地救了出来)”可知，孩子们尖叫是因为他们被困在着火的公共汽车里。故选A。
【7题详解】
主旨大意题。通读全文可知，文章主要讲述了Peter是一位校车司机，但是他的老板认为他已经到了退休年龄，开车不安全，所以要求他退休，Peter很舍不得离开这个岗位，在工作的最后一天，他下车去救一位晕倒的女士，回来后发现校车着火了，于是他冒险将孩子从校车中救出来，家长们都为他鼓掌，让他继续当校车司机。由此可知，D项“ 一位老英雄司机”适合作文章标题，故选D。
C
Sports can help you keep fit and get in touch with nature. However, whether you are on the mountains, in the waves, or on the grassland, you should be aware that your choice of sport might have great influence on the environment.
Some sports are resource-hungry. Golf, as you may know, eats up not only large areas of countryside, but also tons of water. Besides, all sorts of chemicals and huge amounts of energy are used to keep its courses(高尔夫球场) in good condition. This causes major environmental effects. For example, in the dry regions of Portugal and Spain, golf is often held responsible for serious water shortages in some local areas.
In fact, there are many environment friendly sports. Power walking is one of them that you could take up today. You don't need any special equipment except a pair of good shoes; and you don't have to worry about resources and your purse. Simple and free, power walking can also keep you fit. If you walk can regularly, it will be good for your heart and bones. Experts say that 20 minutes of power walking daily can make you feel less anxious, sleep well and control your weight better.
Whatever sport you take up, you can make it greener by using environment friendly equipment and buying products made from recycled materials. But the final goal should be "green gyms". They are better replacements(代替物) for traditional health clubs and modern sports centers. Members of green gyms play sports outdoors, in the countryside or other open spaces. There is no special requirement for you to start your membership. And best of all, it's free.
8. What do we know about golf from the passage
A. It is popular in Portugal and Spain.
B. It needs water and energy to keep its courses green
C. It pollutes the earth with chemicals and waste.
D. It causes water shortages around the world.
9. The author uses power walking as example mainly because .
A. it uses fewer resources
B. it improves our health
C. it is an outdoor sport
D. it is recommended by experts
10. Which of the following is the author most probably in favor of
A. Playing basketball in a gym.
B. Motor racing in the desert.
C. Cycling around a lake.
D. Swimming in a sports center.
11. What’s the purpose of the author writing the passage
A. To show us the function of major sports.
B. To encourage us to go in for green sports.
C. To discuss the major influence of popular sports.
D. To introduce different types of environment friendly spors.
【答案】8. B 9. A 10. C 11. B
【解析】
【分析】这是一篇说明文。高尔夫运动耗费资源，而power walking(快走)既能使人们得到有效锻炼也能节约资源。作者在本篇文章中告诉我们要绿色运动。
【8题详解】
细节理解题。根据文章第二段中的“Golf, as you may know, eats up not only large areas of countryside, but also tons of water. Besides, all sorts of chemicals and huge amounts of energy are used to keep its courses(高尔夫球场) in good condition”可知，如你所知，高尔夫不仅占据了大片农村地区，还消耗了大量的水。此外，各种各样的化学物质和大量的能源被用来维持高尔夫球场的状况。所以高尔夫运动需要水和能源来保持它的高尔夫球场的绿色。故选B。
【9题详解】
推理判断判断。根据第三段中的“In fact, there are many environment friendly sports. Power walking is one of them that you could take up today. You don't need any special equipment except a pair of good shoes; and you don't have to worry about resources and your purse.”可知，事实上，有许多环保运动。快走是你今天可以接受的其中之一。除了一双好鞋，你不需要任何特殊设备；你不必担心资源和钱包。由此判断出作者举“快走”这一例子的原因是它是一项耗费资源很少的运动。故选A。
【10题详解】
推理判断题。根据最后一段中的“Whatever sport you take up, you can make it greener by using environment friendly equipment and buying products made from recycled materials”可知，无论你从事什么运动，你都可以通过使用环保设备和购买由回收材料制成的产品来让它变得更加环保。所以作者主张绿色运动；结合第三段中的“You don't need any special equipment except a pair of good shoes; and you don't have to worry about resources and your purse”可知，你不需要任何特殊设备；你不必担心资源和钱包。所以C项“环湖骑自行车”耗费能源最少，属于绿色运动，故判断出作者最有可能支持的是C选项。故选C。
【11题详解】
推理判断题。通读全文可知，文中简述了一些资源耗费较多的运动和高尔夫，也列举了一些不怎么耗费资源的运动如power walking, 通过对比来介绍绿色运动的好处并鼓励我们参与到绿色运动中来，所以作者写这篇文章的目的是鼓励我们从事绿色运动。故选B。
【点睛】根据事物的定义或者对事物总体的概括，从而判断出哪些具体事物或者具体的实践应该属于定义的范围或者是概括的范围是我们经常见到的推理判断题的题型。要解决这样的判断题，首先要讲对事物的定义或者对事物的总体概括要读清楚，然后根据对比4个选项，哪个选项在定义或者概括范围内的。哪个就是正确的答案。
根据最后一段中的“Whatever sport you take up, you can make it greener by using environment friendly equipment and buying products made from recycled materials”可知，无论你从事什么运动，你都可以通过使用环保设备和购买由回收材料制成的产品来让它变得更加环保。所以作者主张绿色运动；结合第三段中的“You don't need any special equipment except a pair of good shoes; and you don't have to worry about resources and your purse”可知，你不需要任何特殊设备；你不必担心资源和钱包。所以C项“环湖骑自行车”耗费能源最少，属于绿色运动，故小题3选C。
D
Sodas such as Coke or Pepsi are responsible for adding to health problems like tooth problems and obesity (肥胖). So health leaders have recommended teens cut back on sugar-sweetened sodas. However their push may have had an unplanned result. Many of the advertisements aimed at teens show fit athletes having sugar-sweetened sports drinks. They make sports drinks look like a healthy choice for teens compared to sodas. As a result, teens are turning to this kind of drink.
Scientists at Harvard University in Massachusetts focused on teens, who are considered more likely than younger kids to buy their drinks. In 2015, 22,000 high school students were surveyed, and almost 6 in 10 of them reported having at least one sports drink in the past week. That was up slightly from 2010. The Harvard study found that almost one-third of teens drank one to three sports drinks in the previous week. Just over 1 in10 reported having four to six drinks. Teens who played on sports teams were likely to have one or more sports drinks each day. Boys were more likely than girls to have the drinks, scientists found.
The same was true for teens who watched more than two hours of television. Scientists say they are concerned because of ties between TV watching, ads, and obesity. Experts say that many children don’t need a sports drink that is full of carbohydrates (碳水化合物) and sweeteners. This especially applies to children sitting in front of a TV. The better option is water or unsweetened drinks.
“There is no reason to have carbohydrates in sports drinks unless you are in a high-level game, said Nyree Dardarian, the leader of the Center for Integrated Nutrition and Performance. “Someone on a long bike ride or in an all-day race might want to have one. If children are playing for 20 minutes, they just need water.”
There are other choices Water and oranges would provide all of the recommended amounts of vitamin C for kids. Other ideas include flavoring water by adding fruit to it. Kids can also add a small amount ofjuice.
12. What unplanned result may health leaders’recommendation cause
A. Teenagers are turning to sports drinks instead of sodas.
B. Teenagers are being confused by different ads of drinks.
C. Teenagers are buying more sugar-sweetened sodas.
D. Teenagers are having more health problems.
13. What is the Harvard study mainly about
A. Teenagers’ favorite kinds of sports drinks.
B. Teenagers’ habits of having sports drinks.
C. The influence of sports drink ads on teens.
D. The group with the greatest tendency to drink sports drinks.
14. What does the underlined word “This” in Paragraph 3 refer to
A. Playing on sports teams. B. Preferring carbohydrates.
C. Needing no sports drinks. D. Suffering from health problems.
15. What is implied in Nyree’s words
A. Sports drinks are unsuitable for children with light exercise.
B. People should give up sports drinks with carbohydrates.
C. Sports drinks are a better choice for heavy exercisers.
D. Children should do more outdoor exercise.
【答案】12. A 13. D 14. C 15. A
【解析】
【导语】这是一篇说明文。文章说明了运动员们喝运动饮料的广告可能会误导孩子们喝更多的运动饮料，而这对身体有不良影响。
【12题详解】
细节理解题。根据文章第一段“However, their push may have had an unplanned result. Many of the advertisements aimed at teens show fit athletes having sugar-sweetened sports drinks. They make sports drinks look like a healthy choice for teens compared to sodas. As a result, teens are turning to this kind of drink.( 然而，他们的努力可能产生了意想不到的结果。许多针对青少年的广告展示了健康的运动员喝含糖运动饮料。与苏打水相比，他们让运动饮料看起来像是青少年的健康选择。因此，青少年开始转向这种饮料)”可知，很多针对青少年的广告展示了健康运动员喝含糖运动饮料，导致青少年开始转向这种饮料。故选A项。
【13题详解】
细节理解题。根据文章第二段“Scientists at Harvard University in Massachusetts focused on teens, who are considered more likely than younger kids to buy their drinks.(马萨诸塞州哈佛大学的科学家们把重点放在了青少年身上，他们被认为比年幼的孩子更有可能买饮料)”可知，哈佛大学的研究把重点放在了青少年身上，青少年被认为比年幼的孩子更有可能买饮料。由此可推知，哈佛大学的研究主要关于喝运动饮料的群体。故选D项。
【14题详解】
词义猜测题。根据文章第三段“Experts say that many children don’t need a sports drink that is full of carbohydrates(碳水化合物) and sweeteners. This especially applies to children sitting in front of a TV.(专家说，很多孩子不需要富含碳水化合物和甜味剂的运动饮料。这尤其适用于坐在电视机前的孩子)”可知，指示代词this应指代前面的“many children don’t need a sports drink that is full of carbohydrates and sweeteners(很多孩子不需要富含碳水化合物和甜味剂的运动饮料)”。故选C项。
【15题详解】
推理判断题。根据文章倒数第二段““There is no reason to have carbohydrates in sports drinks unless you are in a high-level game, said Nyree Dardarian, the leader of the Center for Integrated Nutrition and Performance. “Someone on a long bike ride or in an all-day race might want to have one. If children are playing for 20 minutes, they just need water.”(“没有理由在运动饮料中添加碳水化合物，除非你在参加高水平的比赛，骑长途自行车或参加全天比赛的人可能会想要一个。如果孩子们只玩20分钟，他们只需要水。”综合营养与表现中心的负责人尼里·达达里安说)”可知，根据Nyree的话可知，骑长途自行车或参加全天比赛的人可能需要运动饮料，轻微运动的孩子们只需要喝水。故选A项。
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。
Lacking chances to practise English Thinking in English can bring you a huge step closer to fluency! It is not very difficult. ____16____ Today, we will share some mental exercises with you.
A good first step is to think in individual words. Look around you. What do you see
____17____ As you continue with this, it becomes a habit. Things are going to flash into your head—computer, telephone, chair, desk, etc., whatever it is and wherever you are. ____18____ For example, if you couldn’t think of the word “garage”, you can say in your mind, “The place inside which I put my car” or “It’s next to my house. I keep things there”.
The next exercise is thinking in simple sentences. For example, when sitting in a park, you can tell yourself things like, “It’s such a beautiful day” and “People are playing”. ____19____ You can also practise describing your daily activities. As beginning level learners, you can describe the day using the simple present verb form, like “I put on my shirt” and “He drives the bus”. You can also mentally make plans in the morning or list things you’ve done before going to bed. ____20____ So the skill level is a little higher.
When you are practising it every day, over and over again, little by little, you are thinking in English.
A. But it takes effort and practice.
B. It is extremely easy to understand.
C. This would require other verb tenses.
D. At some points, you will need a dictionary.
E. Try to name each object in your surroundings.
F. Then describe objects you don’t know the words for.
G. Once this becomes easy, you can move on to more difficult sentences.
【答案】16. A 17. E 18. F 19. G 20. C
【解析】
【导语】这是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍了一些提高英语能力的实用技巧。
【16题详解】
根据“Thinking in English can bring you a huge step closer to fluency! It is not very difficult. (用英语思考可以让你更接近流利！这不是很难)”以及下文“Today, we will share some mental exercises with you.(今天，我们将与大家分享一些心理练习)”可知，英语要熟练是有技巧可用的，所以空白处应该是对上文的转折，也就是说流利的英语并不困难，但是也是需要努力和练习的。A项“但这需要努力和实践。”符合语境，能够承上启下。故选A。
【17题详解】
根据上文“A good first step is to think in individual words. Look around you. What do you see (好的第一步是用单独的语言思考。看看你周围。你看到了什么？)”以及下文“Things are going to flash into your head—computer, telephone, chair, desk, etc., whatever it is and wherever you are.(无论你身在何处，你的电脑、电话、椅子、办公桌等都会闪现出各种东西)”可知，本段所给建议就是试着给周围的每个物体都取名字。E项“试着为你周围的每个物体命名。”适合作本段的主旨大意句。文中的“computer, telephone, chair, desk”是E项中的“each object in your surrounding”的具体例子。故选E。
【18题详解】
根据“For example, if you couldn’t think of the word “garage”, you can say in your mind, “The place inside which I put my car” or “It’s next to my house. I keep things there”(例如，如果你想不出“车库”这个词，你可以在脑海中说，“我把车放在里面的地方”或“它就在我的房子旁边。我把东西放在那里”)”可知，下文举例表明，我们可以尝试用其它的方式来描述你很难表达出来的词。F项“然后描述你不知道单词。”符合语境。故选F。
【19题详解】
根据“The next exercise is thinking in simple sentences. (下一个练习是用简单句子思考)”以及下文“ You can also practise describing your daily activities. (你也可以练习描述你的日常活动)”可知，本段给的建议是我们需要用简单的句子先开始练习，空处给出这样做的原因，就是只有从简单的开始，然后才会慢慢练习困难的句子。G项“一旦这变得容易，你就可以转到更难的句子。”符合语境。G项中的easy和上文的simple 相呼应。故选G。
【20题详解】
根据“As beginning level learners, you can describe the day using the simple present verb form, like “I put on my shirt” and “He drives the bus”. You can also mentally make plans in the morning or list things you’ve done before going to bed.(作为初级学习者，你可以使用简单的现在动词形式来描述一天，比如“我穿上衬衫”和“他开车”。你也可以在早上制定计划，或者在睡前列出你做过的事情)”以及下文“So the skill level is a little higher.(所以技能水平要高一点)”可知，作为初级水平的学习者，你可以用一般现在时态来表述一天。但是如果想要更高的技能，我们就要把一般现在时态转变为其他的时态。空处为后面句子的原因。C项“这需要其他动词时态。”符合语境。故选C。

47. 阅读下面材料，根据其内容和所给段落开头语续写两段，使之构成一个完整的短文。
There are lots of chances in front of us. Whether you can seize them or not depends on the choices you make. This reminds me of one choice I made during my childhood.
Two tickets. Only two tickets to the final basketball game.
Three pairs of eyes focused on the tickets in Dad’s out-stretched hand. Mike, the oldest, asked the question running through everyone’s mind, “Only one ticket for us three But, Dad, which of us will go with you ” Avery, the youngest, repeated the question quietly. I asked Dad if there was any chance to get more tickets. I might be the middle sister, but I was just as eager as my basketball-crazy brothers for a night out with Dad. Dad said he’d got the tickets from a friend and there were only two available.
Seeing that none of us would give up the chance, Dad told us he would choose which of the three of us deserved to go by the following morning.
The next morning, we hurried into the kitchen and looked for Dad, only to find that he had gone out. We were told to get started on our Saturday cleanup as soon as we finished breakfast. Mike complained that he couldn’t concentrate on chores with the game a mere eleven hours away. He slurped the last of his milk, grabbed the basketball and headed towards the back door. Avery dashed after his brother. Before I realized it, the door snapped shut. I glanced out the window and saw Mike practicing his shot while Avery cheered him on.
Seeing the mess on the breakfast table—the leftovers on the sticky plates and dirty cups, I felt frustrated. I approached the window and knocked on it. When the boys looked at me, I held up a kitchen sponge and dishtowel. Mike casually nodded to me and held up five fingers. Sure, five more minutes! I didn’t believe they would return to do the cleanup in five minutes, especially in Dad’s absence. Apparently, they had made their choice.
注意：
1. 所续写短文的词数应为150左右;
2. 续写部分分两段，每段的开头语已为你写好。
Paragraph 1:
Anyway, I chose to do the Saturday morning chores on my own.

Paragraph 2:
Dad was happy to know I found the ticket he had hidden in the cupboard.
____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
【答案】Possible version:
Paragraph 1: Anyway, I chose to do the Saturday morning chores on my own. I threw the leftovers into the dust bin, put the plates and cups in the sink, and cleared the table. With the sticky plates and dirty cups now clean, I felt a sense of achievement. As I opened the cupboard, something dropped out. I picked it up and found that it was the ticket. I was thrilled. At this time, the boys returned. I turned in their direction and held up the ticket. They looked at each other questioningly, as Dad’s car pulled into the yard.
Paragraph 2: Dad was happy to know I found the ticket he had hidden in the cupboard. Holding the precious ticket, I was proud of the right choice I had made. At the same time, shocked and regretful, the boys realized that they had lost the chance to watch their longed-for final basketball game because they had chosen to play basketball instead of cleaning the kitchen. Holding the precious ticket, I imagined what it would be like being at the game with my dad. It was the right choice to follow my dad’s instructions. It was a long-remembered lesson in responsibility from a dad who let his kids make their own choices and earn their own rewards.

Peter, 60, loved his job as a bus driver. He had been one almost all his life, loving the little children who rode his bus daily. It made him feel much younger. His record was clean, without one accident, which made him a trustworthy driver.
However, Mr. Clark, Peter’s boss, was worried and thought that it was time for him to retire (退休). “You don’t have a choice here, Peter.” he said seriously. “We don’t want to invite any risk to the children.”
“But I have a perfect record,” reasoned Peter. “You know, for an elderly man like me, my job is the only thing that keeps me alive. I want to keep my job.”
“Would you take responsibility if something bad happened to those children ” Mr. Clark said.
Peter thought it over, and very reluctantly, he gave in to Mr. Clark’s request. Peter decided to retire a week later.
The day before his last day, Peter was dropping of the kids at his first stop when he looked out of the window and saw a lady who had passed out. He asked the kids not to leave the bus and got down to help the woman.

With shaking hands, Peter dialed 911 and rushed to help the children. Covering himself with his jacket, Peter rushed into the burning car and took the children out one by one. Thankfully, the firefighters arrived soon and helped Peter, saving all students.
The next day, Peter found the whole school standing in front of his home. When Peter got close to them, Mr. Clark started clapping and everyone joined him. “You are a hero, Peter! You saved the lives of those young children.” he said. “You are the best driver. We hope you can keep the job!”

Sports can help you keep fit and get in touch with nature. However, whether you are on the mountains, in the waves, or on the grassland, you should be aware that your choice of sport might have great influence on the environment.
Some sports are resource-hungry. Golf, as you may know, eats up not only large areas of countryside, but also tons of water. Besides, all sorts of chemicals and huge amounts of energy are used to keep its courses(高尔夫球场) in good condition. This causes major environmental effects. For example, in the dry regions of Portugal and Spain, golf is often held responsible for serious water shortages in some local areas.
In fact, there are many environment friendly sports. Power walking is one of them that you could take up today. You don't need any special equipment except a pair of good shoes; and you don't have to worry about resources and your purse. Simple and free, power walking can also keep you fit. If you walk can regularly, it will be good for your heart and bones. Experts say that 20 minutes of power walking daily can make you feel less anxious, sleep well and control your weight better.
Whatever sport you take up, you can make it greener by using environment friendly equipment and buying products made from recycled materials. But the final goal should be "green gyms". They are better replacements(代替物) for traditional health clubs and modern sports centers. Members of green gyms play sports outdoors, in the countryside or other open spaces. There is no special requirement for you to start your membership. And best of all, it's free.
8. What do we know about golf from the passage
A. It is popular in Portugal and Spain.
B. It needs water and energy to keep its courses green
C. It pollutes the earth with chemicals and waste.
D. It causes water shortages around the world.
9. The author uses power walking as example mainly because .
A. it uses fewer resources
B. it improves our health
C. it is an outdoor sport
D. it is recommended by experts
10. Which of the following is the author most probably in favor of
A. Playing basketball in a gym.
B Motor racing in the desert.
C. Cycling around a lake.
D. Swimming in a sports center.
11. What’s the purpose of the author writing the passage
A. To show us the function of major sports.
B. To encourage us to go in for green sports.
C. To discuss the major influence of popular sports.

Sodas such as Coke or Pepsi are responsible for adding to health problems like tooth problems and obesity (肥胖). So health leaders have recommended teens cut back on sugar-sweetened sodas. However, their push may have had an unplanned result. Many of the advertisements aimed at teens show fit athletes having sugar-sweetened sports drinks. They make sports drinks look like a healthy choice for teens compared to sodas. As a result, teens are turning to this kind of drink.
Scientists at Harvard University in Massachusetts focused on teens, who are considered more likely than younger kids to buy their drinks. In 2015, 22,000 high school students were surveyed, and almost 6 in 10 of them reported having at least one sports drink in the past week. That was up slightly from 2010. The Harvard study found that almost one-third of teens drank one to three sports drinks in the previous week. Just over 1 in10 reported having four to six drinks. Teens who played on sports teams were likely to have one or more sports drinks each day. Boys were more likely than girls to have the drinks, scientists found.
The same was true for teens who watched more than two hours of television. Scientists say they are concerned because of ties between TV watching, ads, and obesity. Experts say that many children don’t need a sports drink that is full of carbohydrates (碳水化合物) and sweeteners. This especially applies to children sitting in front of a TV. The better option is water or unsweetened drinks.
“There is no reason to have carbohydrates in sports drinks unless you are in a high-level game, said Nyree Dardarian, the leader of the Center for Integrated Nutrition and Performance. “Someone on a long bike ride or in an all-day race might want to have one. If children are playing for 20 minutes, they just need water.”
There are other choices. Water and oranges would provide all of the recommended amounts of vitamin C for kids. Other ideas include flavoring water by adding fruit to it. Kids can also add a small amount ofjuice.

A. Teenagers are turning to sports drinks instead of sodas.
B. Teenagers are being confused by different ads of drinks.

A. Teenagers’ favorite kinds of sports drinks.

14. What does the underlined word “This” in Paragraph 3 refer to
A. Playing on sports teams. B. Preferring carbohydrates.
C. Needing no sports drinks. D. Suffering from health problems.
15. What is implied in Nyree’s words
A. Sports drinks are unsuitable for children with light exercise.
B. People should give up sports drinks with carbohydrates.
C. Sports drinks are a better choice for heavy exercisers.

Lacking chances to practise English Thinking in English can bring you a huge step closer to fluency! It is not very difficult. ____16____ Today, we will share some mental exercises with you.
A good first step is to think in individual words. Look around you. What do you see
____17____ As you continue with this, it becomes a habit. Things are going to flash into your head—computer, telephone, chair, desk, etc., whatever it is and wherever you are. ____18____ For example, if you couldn’t think of the word “garage”, you can say in your mind, “The place inside which I put my car” or “It’s next to my house. I keep things there”.
The next exercise is thinking in simple sentences. For example, when sitting in a park, you can tell yourself things like, “It’s such a beautiful day” and “People are playing”. ____19____ You can also practise describing your daily activities. As beginning level learners, you can describe the day using the simple present verb form, like “I put on my shirt” and “He drives the bus”. You can also mentally make plans in the morning or list things you’ve done before going to bed. ____20____ So the skill level is a little higher.
When you are practising it every day, over and over again, little by little, you are thinking in English.
A. But it takes effort and practice.
B. It is extremely easy to understand.
C. This would require other verb tenses.
D. At some points, you will need a dictionary.
E. Try to name each object in your surroundings.
F. Then describe objects you don’t know the words for.
G. Once this becomes easy, you can move on to more difficult sentences.

47. 阅读下面材料，根据其内容和所给段落开头语续写两段，使之构成一个完整的短文。
There are lots of chances in front of us. Whether you can seize them or not depends on the choices you make. This reminds me of one choice I made during my childhood.
Two tickets. Only two tickets to the final basketball game.
Three pairs of eyes focused on the tickets in Dad’s out-stretched hand. Mike, the oldest, asked the question running through everyone’s mind, “Only one ticket for us three But, Dad, which of us will go with you ” Avery, the youngest, repeated the question quietly. I asked Dad if there was any chance to get more tickets. I might be the middle sister, but I was just as eager as my basketball-crazy brothers for a night out with Dad. Dad said he’d got the tickets from a friend and there were only two available.
Seeing that none of us would give up the chance, Dad told us he would choose which of the three of us deserved to go by the following morning.
The next morning, we hurried into the kitchen and looked for Dad, only to find that he had gone out. We were told to get started on our Saturday cleanup as soon as we finished breakfast. Mike complained that he couldn’t concentrate on chores with the game a mere eleven hours away. He slurped the last of his milk, grabbed the basketball and headed towards the back door. Avery dashed after his brother. Before I realized it, the door snapped shut. I glanced out the window and saw Mike practicing his shot while Avery cheered him on.
Seeing the mess on the breakfast table—the leftovers on the sticky plates and dirty cups, I felt frustrated. I approached the window and knocked on it. When the boys looked at me, I held up a kitchen sponge and dishtowel. Mike casually nodded to me and held up five fingers. Sure, five more minutes! I didn’t believe they would return to do the cleanup in five minutes, especially in Dad’s absence. Apparently, they had made their choice.
