On a typical day, off the coast of a small Brazilian island, Joao Pereira de Souza, who was a fisherman, headed out fishing. He was sad to find a lot of oil on the water. Staring at the waves with the oily shine, he decided it was not a good day to fish. But walking along the beach that day, he found a struggling penguin(企鹅), covered with oil and going to die because of hunger.
Pereira took the penguin home, gently cleaned it and spent the next week nursing it back to health. He named it Dindim, a Portuguese word meaning “ice pop”.
Dindim is a Magellanic penguin, a species known for living in the seas of South America. In order to breed(繁殖), he must return to Patagonia, 8,000 kilometers from Pereira’s home. Pereira took Dindim back to the ocean and taught him how to swim again. Soon, it was time for Dindim to return to life in the wild. Pereira watched Dindim swim away, believing it would be the last time to see him.
But the next June, Dindim returned. The two shared a gentle mouth-to-nose greeting (问候), and Dindim stayed for a month, swimming around Pereira’s house. The time to leave arrived, and Pereira thought this surely would be the last time he would see Dindim. But 11 months later, the penguin returned again.
Pereira was unsure whether the returning penguin year after year was the same one. He put a tracking device on Dindim. To his surprise, it was Pereira’s Dindim, returning year after year, for more than a decade.
Pereira and Dindim share a friendship that bridges human life and the natural world.

The TV series Wolf Pack starring Sarah Michelle Gellar is centered around the lives of a group of Los Angeles teenagers, whose lives are changed forever when a supernatural creature is freed after a series of unexplained wildfires break out.
Not much is known about Gellar’s character on the show, except for the fact that she is playing Kristin Ramsey, an expert who moves to Los Angeles to find the person who started the wildfires. She spoke to Fox News Digital about her big return to TV, and explained why she thought she was drawn to projects featuring monsters (怪物).
“For me, it’s always about the stories, and in talking today, we have discovered that the superhuman allows you to tell the most human stories because it really allows you to use these monsters to explore emotions, fears and anxieties that you can’t experience in other worlds,” Gellar explained.
“I think it’s a really important conversation that people will be along for the ride, but then realize what the meaning is behind all of it,” she added. Gellar’s co-star, Rodrigo, agreed with her, saying he hoped audiences could look at the deeper meanings behind the monsters on the show and realize they were all metaphors (隐喻) to discuss in our own inner monsters.”
Gellar recently told SFX Magazine she was very proud of the show.

Over the last half century, obesity (肥胖症) rates have skyrocketed. In 1962, 46 percent of adults in the US were considered overweight. By 2010, that figure had jumped to 75 percent.
Obesity is a complex problem with many causes. But among the likely suspects, sugar is high on the list. A variety of research has drawn a link (联系) between sugar consumption (消耗) and overweight. As sugar consumption has increased, so has our waistline.
“I don’t think we have enough evidence yet to suggest that sugar is the reason for obesity,” says Johns Hopkins, a cardiologist. “But there is enough evidence to say that too much sugar consumption is an important contributor to weight gain.”
All those sweet snacks seem to be affecting the heart as well. In a study published in JAMA: Internal Medicine in 2014 researchers compared people who consumed a lot of added sugar accounting for 17 to 21 percent of their total daily calories with people who ate less sugar—just 8 percent of their total calories. Those in the high-sugar group had a 38 percent greater risk of dying from heart disease.
Excess weight increases the risk of many diseases like high blood pressure, high cholesterol and Type 2 diabetes. Research by the team of Ndumele has shown that those factors usually explain the link between obesity and heart disease. “All of those factors make it more likely that someone will develop heart disease,” says Ndumele.
In other words, there are many reasons to aim for a healthy weight. And cutting back on sugar is a good place to start.
32. What does the underlined word “skyrocketed” in paragraph 1 mean
A. Risen quickly. B. Dropped rapidly.
C. Led to many diseases. D. Caught much attention.
33. What’s Johns Hopkins’ attitude towards too much sugar consumption
A. Unsure. B. Negative. C. Unconcerned. D. Supportive.
34. What does the study in JAMA want to show
A. Obesity can cause heart disease. B. Sugar contributes to weight gain.
C. Heart disease is linked to sugar intake. D. Overweight increases high blood pressure.
35. What is the best title for the text
A. Obesity—The Heart Killer B. Less Sugar—A Good Start for Health
C. What to Do with Disease D. How to Take Care of Your Sweet Teeth
【答案】32. A 33. B 34. C 35. B
【解析】
【导语】本文是说明文。这篇文章主要介绍了肥胖率上升的现象，探讨了糖摄入与肥胖之间的可能联系，以及肥胖和过多糖摄入对健康的影响。
【32题详解】
词句猜测题。根据后文“In 1962, 46 percent of adults in the US were considered overweight. By 2010, that figure had jumped to 75 percent. (1962年，46%的美国成年人被认为超重。到2010年，这一数字跃升至75%。)”可知，在过去的半个世纪里，肥胖率从46%到75%，是直线上升的，推知skyrocketed为“急剧上升”之意，和A项意思相近。故选A项。
【33题详解】
推理判断题。根据第三段““I don’t think we have enough evidence yet to suggest that sugar is the reason for obesity,” says Johns Hopkins, a cardiologist. “But there is enough evidence to say that too much sugar consumption is an important contributor to weight gain.” (心脏病专家约翰·霍普金斯说：“我认为我们还没有足够的证据表明糖是肥胖的原因。”“但有足够的证据表明，摄入过多的糖是导致体重增加的重要因素。”)”可知，约翰·霍普金斯认为虽然没有足够的证据表明糖是肥胖的原因，但是有足够的证据表明，摄入过多的糖是导致体重增加的重要因素，所以他对对糖摄入过多的态度是否定的。故选B项。
【34题详解】
推理判断题。根据第四段“All those sweet snacks seem to be affecting the heart as well. In a study published in JAMA: Internal Medicine in 2014, researchers compared people who consumed a lot of added sugar accounting for 17 to 21 percent of their total daily calories with people who ate less sugar—just 8 percent of their total calories. Those in the high-sugar group had a 38 percent greater risk of dying from heart disease. (所有这些甜食似乎也会影响心脏。2014年发表在《美国医学会杂志：内科医学》(JAMA: Internal Medicine)上的一项研究中，研究人员将摄入大量添加糖(占每日总热量的17%至21%)的人与摄入较少糖(仅占总热量的8%)的人进行了比较。高糖组的人死于心脏病的风险高出38%。)”可知，《美国医学会杂志》上的这项研究想要说明心脏病与糖的摄入有关。故选C项。
【35题详解】
主旨大意题。根据第二段“Obesity is a complex problem with many causes. But among the likely suspects, sugar is high on the list. A variety of research has drawn a link (联系) between sugar consumption (消耗) and overweight. As sugar consumption has increased, so has our waistline. (肥胖是一个复杂的问题，有很多原因。但在可能的嫌疑人中，糖高居榜首。各种各样的研究表明糖的摄入和超重之间存在联系。随着糖摄入量的增加，我们的腰围也在增加。)”以及最后一段“In other words, there are many reasons to aim for a healthy weight. And cutting back on sugar is a good place to start. (换句话说，我们有很多理由追求健康的体重。减少糖的摄入是一个很好的开始。)”以及纵观全文可知，本文主要讲述了糖摄入与肥胖之间的可能联系，以及肥胖和过多糖摄入对健康的影响，所以B项“Less Sugar—A Good Start for Health(少吃糖——健康的良好开端)”是本文最好的标题。故选B项。

On a typical day, off the coast of a small Brazilian island, Joao Pereira de Souza, who was a fisherman, headed out fishing. He was sad to find a lot of oil on the water. Staring at the waves with the oily shine, he decided it was not a good day to fish. But walking along the beach that day, he found a struggling penguin(企鹅), covered with oil and going to die because of hunger.
Pereira took the penguin home, gently cleaned it and spent the next week nursing it back to health. He named it Dindim, a Portuguese word meaning “ice pop”.
Dindim is a Magellanic penguin, a species known for living in the seas of South America. In order to breed(繁殖), he must return to Patagonia, 8,000 kilometers from Pereira’s home. Pereira took Dindim back to the ocean and taught him how to swim again. Soon, it was time for Dindim to return to life in the wild. Pereira watched Dindim swim away, believing it would be the last time to see him.
But the next June, Dindim returned. The two shared a gentle mouth-to-nose greeting (问候), and Dindim stayed for a month, swimming around Pereira’s house. The time to leave arrived, and Pereira thought this surely would be the last time he would see Dindim. But 11 months later, the penguin returned again.
Pereira was unsure whether the returning penguin year after year was the same one. He put a tracking device on Dindim. To his surprise, it was Pereira’s Dindim, returning year after year, for more than a decade.
Pereira and Dindim share a friendship that bridges human life and the natural world.

The TV series Wolf Pack starring Sarah Michelle Gellar is centered around the lives of a group of Los Angeles teenagers, whose lives are changed forever when a supernatural creature is freed after a series of unexplained wildfires break out.
Not much is known about Gellar’s character on the show, except for the fact that she is playing Kristin Ramsey, an expert who moves to Los Angeles to find the person who started the wildfires. She spoke to Fox News Digital about her big return to TV, and explained why she thought she was drawn to projects featuring monsters (怪物).
“For me, it’s always about the stories, and in talking today, we have discovered that the superhuman allows you to tell the most human stories because it really allows you to use these monsters to explore emotions, fears and anxieties that you can’t experience in other worlds,” Gellar explained.
“I think it’s a really important conversation that people will be along for the ride but then realize what the meaning is behind all of it,” she added. Gellar’s co-star, Rodrigo, agreed with her, saying he hoped audiences could look at the deeper meanings behind the monsters on the show and realize they were all metaphors (隐喻) to discuss in our own inner monsters.”
Gellar recently told SFX Magazine she was very proud of the show.
28. What is the first paragraph mainly about
A. The cause of wildfires. B. A creature’s activity.
C. A group of teenagers’ lives. D. The plot of Wolf Pack.
29. According to Gellar, what can help her uncover people’s feelings

C. Wildfires in a show. D. Discussion with each other.

Over the last half century, obesity (肥胖症) rates have skyrocketed. In 1962, 46 percent of adults in the US were considered overweight. By 2010, that figure had jumped to 75 percent.
Obesity is a complex problem with many causes. But among the likely suspects, sugar is high on the list. A variety of research has drawn a link (联系) between sugar consumption (消耗) and overweight. As sugar consumption has increased, so has our waistline.
“I don’t think we have enough evidence yet to suggest that sugar is the reason for obesity” says Johns Hopkins, a cardiologist. “But there is enough evidence to say that too much sugar consumption is an important contributor to weight gain.”
All those sweet snacks seem to be affecting the heart as well. In a study published in JAMA: Internal Medicine in 2014, researchers compared people who consumed a lot of added sugar accounting for 17 to 21 percent of their total daily calories with people who ate less sugar—just 8 percent of their total calories. Those in the high-sugar group had a 38 percent greater risk of dying from heart disease.
Excess weight increases the risk of many diseases like high blood pressure, high cholesterol and Type 2 diabetes. Research by the team of Ndumele has shown that those factors usually explain the link between obesity and heart disease. “All of those factors make it more likely that someone will develop heart disease,” says Ndumele.
In other words, there are many reasons to aim for a healthy weight. And cutting back on sugar is a good place to start.
32. What does the underlined word “skyrocketed” in paragraph 1 mean
A. Risen quickly. B. Dropped rapidly.
C. Led to many diseases. D. Caught much attention.
33. What’s Johns Hopkins’ attitude towards too much sugar consumption
A. Unsure. B. Negative. C. Unconcerned. D. Supportive.
34. What does the study in JAMA want to show
A Obesity can cause heart disease. B. Sugar contributes to weight gain.
C. Heart disease is linked to sugar intake. D. Overweight increases high blood pressure.
35. What is the best title for the text
A. Obesity—The Heart Killer B. Less Sugar—A Good Start for Health
C. What to Do with Disease D. How to Take Care of Your Sweet Teeth
