Today，we are constantly bombarded with media reports about research on the right diet to follow to help us maintain a healthy lifestyle or lose weight—but it’s hard to know which one to pick and，once chosen，it's harder still to stick to it.And now there’s another choice to get our teeth into.
A flexitarian(弹性素食者)diet involves eating plant—based foods and only occasionally eating meat and fish.This eating style allows you to supplement some ingredients that you wouldn’t get in a stricter vegan(素食主义者)diet—another trend growing in popularity.And like veganism，flexitarianism isn’t about eating carefully to help you lose a few pounds—it’s something people choose for ethical reasons，to help the planet.And a study into the global food system and how it affects the climate，has found that eating mainly plant-based foods is one of three key steps towards a sustainable future for all by 2050.
This research found that food waste will need to be halved and farming practices will also have to improve to achieve this.But without a single solution，a combined approach is needed.Dr Marco Springmann from the University of Oxford was one of the lead authors of the report.He told the BBC“We really found that a combination of measures would be needed to stay within environmental limits and those include changes towards healthier more plant—based diets.”
But whereas vegans think it's wrong for animals to be killed for food，flexitarians believe eating meat once in a while is acceptable.And Dr Springmann agrees—as long as we“treat it as a luxury，it’s probably OK but you shouldn’t have more than one serving of red meat，which includes beef and pork，per week.”And here’s another fact to digest:If we moved to this type of diet，the study found that greenhouse gas emissions from agriculture would be cut by more than half.
8. What is the purpose of the first paragraph
A. To lead to the topic. B. To entertain the readers.
C. To ask for information. D. To present an idea.
9. From the text，we can know that a flexitarian diet__________.
A. is the most popular eating style B. involves eating no meat
C. benefits the environment D. only balances the nutrition
10. What does Dr Marco Springmann agree with
A. It’s wrong to kill animals for food.
B. Improving farming practices makes no sense.
C. A plant-based diet has nothing to do with climate change.
D. Combined measures are needed for environmental protection.
11. What can be the suitable title for the text
A. Methods of keeping fit B. Choose a flexitarian diet
C. Measures to protect the environment D. Keep a strict vegan diet
【答案】8. A 9. C 10. D 11. B
【解析】
【分析】这是一篇说明文。介绍了一种可以帮助我们保持健康的生活方式或者减肥的饮食方式：弹性素食者饮食，它包括吃植物性食物，偶尔吃肉和鱼。作者指出这种饮食方式将有益于保护环境。
【8题详解】
判断推理题。根据第一段“Today，we are constantly bombarded with media reports about research on the right diet to follow to help us maintain a healthy lifestyle or lose weight—but it’s hard to know which one to pick and，once chosen，it's harder still to stick to it. And now there’s another choice to get our teeth into.”段意：今天，我们不断地被各种各样的媒体报道，这些报道都是关于研究正确的饮食来帮助我们保持健康的生活方式或减肥的。但很难知道选择哪一种，一旦选择了，就更难坚持下去。现在我们有另一个选择。本段先是引出话题，接着由最后一句引出下文，故第一段的目的是引出主题。故选A。
【9题详解】
判断推理题。第二段最后一句“And a study into the global food system and how it affects the climate，has found that eating mainly plant-based foods is one of three key steps towards a sustainable future for all by 2050.”可知主要食用植物性食品是迈向2050年人人享有可持续未来的三个关键步骤之一。由此可以推理弹性素食者饮食有益于环境，故选C。
【10题详解】
细节理解题。根据倒数第二段最后一句“We really found that a combination of measures would be needed to stay within environmental limits and those include changes towards healthier more plant—based diets.”可知Dr Marco Springmann赞成保护环境需要一系列措施。故选D。
【11题详解】
主旨大意题。根据文章内容最后一段最后一句“If we moved to this type of diet，the study found that greenhouse gas emissions from agriculture would be cut by more than half.”可知如果继续推行弹性素食者饮食的，它可以减少温室气体的排放。因此最好的标题是“选择弹性素食者饮食”，故选B。
D
While often seen as a negative (消极的) emotion, anger can also be a powerful motivator (促进因素) for people to achieve challenging goals in their lives, according to research published by the American Psychological Association.
“People often believe that a state of happiness is perfect,” said lead author Heather Lench, PhD, a professor in the department of psychologcal and brain sciences at Texas A & M University, “but previous research suggests that a mix of emotions, including negative emotions like anger, results in good outcomes.”
The functionalist theory of emotion suggests that all emotions, good or bad, are reactions to events within a person’s environment and help that person to make proper actions, according to Lench. For example, sadness may suggest that a person needs to seek help or emotional support, while anger may indicate a person needs to take action to overcome an obstacle (障碍).
To better understand the role of anger in achieving goals, researchers conducted a series of experiments involving more than 1,000 participants and analyzed survey data from more than 1,400 respondents. In each experiment, participants either had an emotional response (such as anger, amusement, desire or sadness) or a neutral (中性的) emotional state, and then were presented with a challenging goal. Across all the experiments, anger improved people’s ability to reach their goals compared with a neutral condition in a variety of challenging situations.
“Our research adds to the growing evidence that a mix of positive and negative emotions promotes well-being, and that using negative emotions as tools can be particularly effective in some situations,” Lench said.
12. What is commonly believed concerning people’s emotions
A. It is believed that a state of joy is great.
B. A feeling of sadness leads to poor effect.
C. Anger is actually a positive emotion.
D. Pride acts as an obstacle to success.
13. Why did researchers do a seres of experiments
A. They hoped to overturn the previous findings.
B. They hoped to prove that a state of happiness is ideal.
C. They hoped to find the relationship between positive and negative emotions.
D. They hoped to have a better understanding of the role of anger in attaining goals.
14. What’s Paragraph 4 mainly about
A. The problem of the research. B. The background of the research.
C. The process of the research. D. The significance of the research.
15. What’s Lench’s attitude to their research
A. Skeptical. B. Favorable. C. Uncaring. D. Critical.
【答案】12. A 13. D 14. C 15. B
【解析】
【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍一项实验表明，愤怒是人们实现人生中具有挑战性目标的强大动力。
【12题详解】
细节理解题。根据第二段“People often believe that a state of happiness is perfect (人们通常认为幸福的状态是完美的)”可知，人们普遍认为幸福的状态是很棒的。故选A。
【13题详解】
细节理解题。根据第四段“To better understand the role of anger in achieving goals, researchers conducted a series of experiments involving more than 1,000 participants and analyzed survey data from more than 1,400 respondents. (为了更好地理解愤怒在实现目标中的作用，研究人员进行了一系列实验，涉及1000多名参与者，并分析了1400多名受访者的调查数据)”可知，研究人员进行了一系列实验是为了更好地理解愤怒在实现目标中的作用。故选D。
【14题详解】
主旨大意题。根据第四段“To better understand the role of anger in achieving goals, researchers conducted a series of experiments involving more than 1,000 participants and analyzed survey data from more than 1,400 respondents. In each experiment, participants either had an emotional response (such as anger, amusement, desire or sadness) or a neutral(中性的) emotional state, and then were presented with a challenging goal.

(为了更好地理解愤怒在实现目标中的作用，研究人员进行了一系列实验，涉及1000多名参与者，并分析了1400多名受访者的调查数据。在每个实验中，参与者要么有情绪反应（如愤怒、娱乐、欲望或悲伤），要么有中性的情绪状态，然后提出一个具有挑战性的目标。在所有的实验中，在各种具有挑战性的情况下，与中性条件相比，愤怒提高了人们实现目标的能力)”可知，这一段主要介绍研究的过程。故选C。
【15题详解】
推理判断题。根据最后一段““Our research adds to the growing evidence that a mix of positive and negative emotions promotes well-being, and that using negative emotions as tools can be particularly effective in some situations,” Lench said. (Lench说：“我们的研究增加了越来越多的证据，证明积极和消极情绪的混合可以促进幸福感，在某些情况下，将消极情绪作为工具尤其有效。”)”可知，Lench对这项研究是赞同的态度。故选B。

A painting stamped with more than 4.8 million fingerprints and cost over 80, 000 yuan in paper has set the Guinness World Record for the largest fingerprint painting.
The fingerprint painting, named Descendants of the Dragon, was created by Kuang Xianpeng, a 35-year-old painter from Zhuzhou, Hunan Province. It describes a mix of nine Chinese dragons and six arts in ancient Chinese culture.
With a surface area of 1195. 14 square meters, 51. 526 meters long and 23. 195 meters wide, the whole painting used 685 pieces of xuan paper and took Kuang over two years to complete. It also took 40 volunteers two whole days to lay out the painting for Guinness certification officer to measure.
Kuang said it was a very arduous journey, and he had used up all his spare time to finish the work. “It was very hard to master the amount of strength you put in your fingers, ” he said. “You can’t press too hard or too light. Otherwise, your prints will blur. I have wasted over 300 pieces of paper due to blurred fingerprints. ”
The Guinness certification officer Luo Qiong said this world record wasn’t easy to earn. She said each fingerprint must be clear, the painting must have more than four different colors, and the distance between each fingerprint mustn’t be more than 1 centimeter.
The world record for this category had been broken 15 times since 2014, with the previous one set by an Indian with a work measuring 1, 188 square meters.
Before this painting, Kuang had spent 14 years in drawing a pen-and-ink painting of 247 meters long and 1. 6 meters wide, telling stories of historical myths. He also said he would never stop exploring more creative works.

Today，we are constantly bombarded with media reports about research on the right diet to follow to help us maintain a healthy lifestyle or lose weight—but it’s hard to know which one to pick and，once chosen，it's harder still to stick to it.And now there’s another choice to get our teeth into.
A flexitarian(弹性素食者)diet involves eating plant—based foods and only occasionally eating meat and fish.This eating style allows you to supplement some ingredients that you wouldn’t get in a stricter vegan(素食主义者)diet—another trend growing in popularity.And like veganism，flexitarianism isn’t about eating carefully to help you lose a few pounds—it’s something people choose for ethical reasons，to help the planet.And a study into the global food system and how it affects the climate，has found that eating mainly plant-based foods is one of three key steps towards a sustainable future for all by 2050.
This research found that food waste will need to be halved and farming practices will also have to improve to achieve this.But without a single solution，a combined approach is needed.Dr Marco Springmann from the University of Oxford was one of the lead authors of the report.He told the BBC“We really found that a combination of measures would be needed to stay within environmental limits and those include changes towards healthier more plant—based diets.”
But whereas vegans think it's wrong for animals to be killed for food，flexitarians believe eating meat once in a while is acceptable.And Dr Springmann agrees—as long as we“treat it as a luxury，it’s probably OK but you shouldn’t have more than one serving of red meat，which includes beef and pork，per week.”And here’s another fact to digest:If we moved to this type of diet，the study found that greenhouse gas emissions from agriculture would be cut by more than half.
8. What is the purpose of the first paragraph
A. To lead to the topic. B. To entertain the readers.
C. To ask for information. D. To present an idea.
9. From the text，we can know that a flexitarian diet__________.
A. is the most popular eating style B. involves eating no meat
C. benefits the environment D. only balances the nutrition
10. What does Dr Marco Springmann agree with
A. It’s wrong to kill animals for food.
B. Improving farming practices makes no sense.
C. A plant-based diet has nothing to do with climate change.
D. Combined measures are needed for environmental protection.
11. What can be the suitable title for the text
A. Methods of keeping fit B. Choose a flexitarian diet
C. Measures to protect the environment D. Keep a strict vegan diet
D
While often seen as a negative (消极的) emotion, anger can also be a powerful motivator (促进因素) for people to achieve challenging goals in their lives, according to research published by the American Psychological Association.
“People often believe that a state of happiness is perfect,” said lead author Heather Lench, PhD, a professor in the department of psychologcal and brain sciences at Texas A & M University, “but previous research suggests that a mix of emotions, including negative emotions like anger, results in good outcomes.”
The functionalist theory of emotion suggests that all emotions, good or bad, are reactions to events within a person’s environment and help that person to make proper actions, according to Lench. For example, sadness may suggest that a person needs to seek help or emotional support, while anger may indicate a person needs to take action to overcome an obstacle (障碍).
To better understand the role of anger in achieving goals, researchers conducted a series of experiments involving more than 1,000 participants and analyzed survey data from more than 1,400 respondents. In each experiment, participants either had an emotional response (such as anger, amusement, desire or sadness) or a neutral (中性的) emotional state, and then were presented with a challenging goal. Across all the experiments, anger improved people’s ability to reach their goals compared with a neutral condition in a variety of challenging situations.
“Our research adds to the growing evidence that a mix of positive and negative emotions promotes well-being, and that using negative emotions as tools can be particularly effective in some situations,” Lench said.
12. What is commonly believed concerning people’s emotions
A. It is believed that a state of joy is great.
B. A feeling of sadness leads to poor effect.
C. Anger is actually a positive emotion.
D. Pride acts as an obstacle to success.
13 Why did researchers do a seres of experiments
A. They hoped to overturn the previous findings.
B They hoped to prove that a state of happiness is ideal.
C They hoped to find the relationship between positive and negative emotions.
D. They hoped to have a better understanding of the role of anger in attaining goals.
14. What’s Paragraph 4 mainly about
A. The problem of the research. B. The background of the research.
C. The process of the research. D. The significance of the research.
15. What’s Lench’s attitude to their research
A. Skeptical. B. Favorable. C. Uncaring. D. Critical.
