A new study from the University of Cambridge shows how small environmental changes can have great effects on human behavior. Even the rise of skateboarding is the result of the deep relationships between humans and the climate.
“To make connections between climate and society, we often look into the past, but as we go further back, the evidence gets thinner,” said lead author Professor Büntgen. “We wanted to find a more modern example where we had lots of data to look at. That is how we began to study skateboarding.”
As was recorded, the prosperity (繁荣) of post-war America resulted in the building of more than 150,000 swimming pools in California during the 1960s. However, California suffered the greatest drought (旱灾) in the 1970s. The government’s water agencies responded by mandating strict cuts, including a ban stopping people from filling backyard swimming pools. As a result, many of these pools were empty, making them ideal playgrounds for freestyle skateboarders. Naturally, skateboarding exploded in popularity.
Büntgen said, “California used to be the center of US surf culture. The popularity and influence of surf culture was very important to the rise of skateboarding, which is why it could have only happened in California. You could have had the same drought, the same pools in somewhere like Phoenix, but since Phoenix doesn’t have a rich surf culture, professional skateboarding couldn’t have started there.”
With the rise of professional skateboarding came the industrial production of polyurethane (聚氨酯) wheels, which allowed skaters to make faster turns at higher speeds than they could with earlier steel wheels. All these factors made skateboarding more popular. Nowadays, it is a multibillion-dollar industry.
The example of California best shows that local climate change can have major effects on human society.
8 What is the finding of the new study
A. Climate changes affect human behavior.
B. Popular games benefit greatly from droughts.
C. The environment changes people’s relationships.
D. Culture contributes to the industry development.
9. What does the underlined word “mandating” in Paragraph 3 mean
A. Carrying out. B. Counting on. C. Sticking with. D. Getting over.
10. According to Büntgen, what is a special factor promoting skateboarding in California
A. Drought. B. Location. C. Swimming pools. D. Surf culture.
11. From which section is this text most probably taken
A. Society. B. Health. C. Education. D. Business.
D
Sugar-free cookies, sugar-free candy, and diet soda—are these better for you After sugar became a no-no in the nutrition and wellness world, sugar-free food and drinks acted as a replacement for once beloved sweet drinks and snacks. Being claimed to be ZERO sugar means the food and drinks are healthier, better for diabetics, and help you slim down ... Right Wrong. Sugar-free products aren’t better for you. In fact, they are worse. For most sugar-free products, it means that artificial sweeteners (甜味剂) are used instead of real sugar. The problem is that these sweeteners do not come from natural soures and they can do you more harm than good.
Let’s get into what these artificial sweeteners actually are. Sugar-free sugar sounds wrong because there is no such thing as sugar-free sugar. Some of these sugar-free alternatives even contain sugar and the ones that have chemicals your body often does not know how to process. Most artificial sweeteners are a lot sweeter than sugar so only a small quantity of them are needed. That’s why they can market sugar-free alternatives as “low-calorie” or “no-calorie’. It also means that you get no nutritional value from consuming them, which is why so many sugar-free replacements are classified as “non-nutritive”. These artificial sweeteners tend to hide under some names. Actually, they are 200-600 times sweeter than sugar.
When you eat sweet stuff, your body continues to desire it and, even though your body cannot metabolize (代谢) these sugar-free alternatives, your brain does not know the difference. In turn sugar-free alternatives relate to weight gain and Type-2 diabetes. Besides, artificial sweeteners also damage your gut’s ability to break down sugar which impacts everything you eat. In other words, your body doesn’t know how to handle artificial sweeteners because they have nothing real to process.
Here is a good rule of thumb: stay away from artificial sweeteners and look for non-sugar, natural sweeteners like stevia (甜叶菊) or date sugar. In the war against artificial sweeteners and real sugar, both lose. Satisfy your sweet tooth with natural sugar that comes from fruits and stay away from products claimed to be sugar-free.
12. What do most sugar-free products have in common
A. They don’t taste sweet. B. They are free of calories.
C. They are rich in nutrition. D. They have artificial sweeteners.
13. What can be inferred about artificial sweeteners
A. They are as sweet as sugar. B. They pose a big risk to health.
C. They can be metabolized easily D. They have long been added to food.
14. What does the author advise us to do
A. To keep a balanced diet. B. To stay away from sugary products.
C. To choose fewer artificial ingredients. D. To take in sugar from natural sources
15. Which of the following can be the best title for the text
A. Why are sugar-free products bad for your health
B. How will sugar-free products affect your body
C. What can be called sugar-free products
D. Why are sugar-free products popular
第二节(共5小题;每小题2.5分，满分12.5分)
根据短文内容，从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项，并在答题卡上将该项涂黑。选项中有两项为多余选项。
What if there was a way to get more out of each day While we all have the same 24 hours, how we use that time influences what we can achieve. Recent research suggests that one way to pack more into your day is to synchronize(使同步) your biological clock to your daily timetable. By doing certain things when you are most active and energetic, you might be able to improve your productivity.
____16____ This works much like a program regulating the timing of many biological functions ranging from when you sleep to when you wake. You’ve probably noticed that there are certain times during the day when you feel more energetic. ____17____Research has shown however, that your body clock is responsible for more than just your sleep-wake cycle. For instance, you may want to adjust your time-table to make most of your mental powers.
____18____Studies suggest that cognitive(认知) abilities tend to be at their highest level during the late morning hours, so you might want to deal with those mentally demanding activities before lunch. ____19____This is why you might find yourself struggling to focus on those work meetings after lunch.
If you are working on some sort of creative task, it might be a bit different. In a study examining how the time of day influences problem solving, researchers had participants solve analytical(分析性的) problems during times when they were either at their mental best or at less effective times of tiredness.____20____Because the mind is more likely to wander(stop focusing on something) when we are tired, it seems that it can lead people to think in more innovative(创新的) ways.
A. At other times, you might feel tired.
B. You are probably at your sharpest in the morning.
C. Knowing this might help you adapt your own time-table.
D. Your biological clock controls a great deal of how you function.
E. Experts also suggest that attention levels weaken following meals.
F. Changing your biological clock may not be easy, but it could be beneficial.
G. They found that people tend to do their best creative thinking when they are tired.

A new study from the University of Cambridge shows how small environmental changes can have great effects on human behavior. Even the rise of skateboarding is the result of the deep relationships between humans and the climate.
“To make connections between climate and society, we often look into the past, but as we go further back, the evidence gets thinner,” said lead author Professor Büntgen. “We wanted to find a more modern example where we had lots of data to look at. That is how we began to study skateboarding.”
As was recorded, the prosperity (繁荣) of post-war America resulted in the building of more than 150,000 swimming pools in California during the 1960s. However, California suffered the greatest drought (旱灾) in the 1970s. The government’s water agencies responded by mandating strict cuts, including a ban stopping people from filling backyard swimming pools. As a result, many of these pools were empty, making them ideal playgrounds for freestyle skateboarders. Naturally, skateboarding exploded in popularity.
Büntgen said, “California used to be the center of US surf culture. The popularity and influence of surf culture was very important to the rise of skateboarding, which is why it could have only happened in California. You could have had the same drought, the same pools in somewhere like Phoenix, but since Phoenix doesn’t have a rich surf culture, professional skateboarding couldn’t have started there.”
With the rise of professional skateboarding came the industrial production of polyurethane (聚氨酯) wheels, which allowed skaters to make faster turns at higher speeds than they could with earlier steel wheels. All these factors made skateboarding more popular. Nowadays, it is a multibillion-dollar industry.
The example of California best shows that local climate change can have major effects on human society.
8. What is the finding of the new study
A. Climate changes affect human behavior.
B. Popular games benefit greatly from droughts.
C. The environment changes people’s relationships.
D. Culture contributes to the industry development.
9. What does the underlined word “mandating” in Paragraph 3 mean
A. Carrying out. B. Counting on. C. Sticking with. D. Getting over.
10. According to Büntgen, what is a special factor promoting skateboarding in California
A. Drought. B. Location. C. Swimming pools. D. Surf culture.
11. From which section is this text most probably taken
A. Society. B. Health. C. Education. D. Business.

Sugar-free cookies, sugar-free candy, and diet soda—are these better for you After sugar became a no-no in the nutrition and wellness world, sugar-free food and drinks acted as a replacement for once beloved sweet drinks and snacks. Being claimed to be ZERO sugar means the food and drinks are healthier, better for diabetics, and help you slim down ... Right Wrong. Sugar-free products aren’t better for you. In fact, they are worse. For most sugar-free products, it means that artificial sweeteners (甜味剂) are used instead of real sugar. The problem is that these sweeteners do not come from natural soures and they can do you more harm than good.
Let’s get into what these artificial sweeteners actually are. Sugar-free sugar sounds wrong because there is no such thing as sugar-free sugar. Some of these sugar-free alternatives even contain sugar and the ones that have chemicals your body often does not know how to process. Most artificial sweeteners are a lot sweeter than sugar so only a small quantity of them are needed. That’s why they can market sugar-free alternatives as “low-calorie” or “no-calorie’. It also means that you get no nutritional value from consuming them, which is why so many sugar-free replacements are classified as “non-nutritive”. These artificial sweeteners tend to hide under some names. Actually, they are 200-600 times sweeter than sugar.
When you eat sweet stuff, your body continues to desire it and, even though your body cannot metabolize (代谢) these sugar-free alternatives, your brain does not know the difference. In turn sugar-free alternatives relate to weight gain and Type-2 diabetes. Besides, artificial sweeteners also damage your gut’s ability to break down sugar which impacts everything you eat. In other words, your body doesn’t know how to handle artificial sweeteners because they have nothing real to process.
Here is a good rule of thumb: stay away from artificial sweeteners and look for non-sugar, natural sweeteners like stevia (甜叶菊) or date sugar. In the war against artificial sweeteners and real sugar, both lose. Satisfy your sweet tooth with natural sugar that comes from fruits and stay away from products claimed to be sugar-free.
12. What do most sugar-free products have in common
A. They don’t taste sweet. B. They are free of calories.
C. They are rich in nutrition. D. They have artificial sweeteners.
13. What can be inferred about artificial sweeteners
A. They are as sweet as sugar. B. They pose a big risk to health.
C. They can be metabolized easily D. They have long been added to food.
14. What does the author advise us to do
A. To keep a balanced diet. B. To stay away from sugary products.
C. To choose fewer artificial ingredients. D. To take in sugar from natural sources
15. Which of the following can be the best title for the text
A. Why are sugar-free products bad for your health
B. How will sugar-free products affect your body
C. What can be called sugar-free products
D Why are sugar-free products popular
【答案】12. D 13. B 14. D 15. A

What if there was a way to get more out of each day While we all have the same 24 hours, how we use that time influences what we can achieve. Recent research suggests that one way to pack more into your day is to synchronize(使同步) your biological clock to your daily timetable. By doing certain things when you are most active and energetic, you might be able to improve your productivity.
____16____ This works much like a program regulating the timing of many biological functions ranging from when you sleep to when you wake. You’ve probably noticed that there are certain times during the day when you feel more energetic. ____17____Research has shown however, that your body clock is responsible for more than just your sleep-wake cycle. For instance, you may want to adjust your time-table to make most of your mental powers.
____18____Studies suggest that cognitive(认知) abilities tend to be at their highest level during the late morning hours, so you might want to deal with those mentally demanding activities before lunch. ____19____This is why you might find yourself struggling to focus on those work meetings after lunch.
If you are working on some sort of creative task, it might be a bit different. In a study examining how the time of day influences problem solving, researchers had participants solve analytical(分析性的) problems during times when they were either at their mental best or at less effective times of tiredness.____20____Because the mind is more likely to wander(stop focusing on something) when we are tired, it seems that it can lead people to think in more innovative(创新的) ways.
A. At other times, you might feel tired.
B. You are probably at your sharpest in the morning.
C. Knowing this might help you adapt your own time-table.
D. Your biological clock controls a great deal of how you function.
E. Experts also suggest that attention levels weaken following meals.
F. Changing your biological clock may not be easy, but it could be beneficial.
G. They found that people tend to do their best creative thinking when they are tired.

【答案】Dear Lisa,
I am sorry to hear that you are going through a hard time at the moment. The truth is that a number of students are under stress when entering senior high school, so there is no need for you to feel anxious. Here I’d like to offer you some useful suggestions.
First of all, try to put yourself into your parents’ shoes, then you will understand why they expect so much of you-maybe they wish you to have a bright future. Second, you could try communicating your feelings to your parents in a friendly way, which will help you reduce your stress. Last but not least, be confident about yourself, and everything will come out all right in the end.
I sincerely hope my suggestions will be of some help to you and you can free yourself from your stress soon and improve your relationship with your parents. Looking forward to your early reply.
Best wishes,
i Hua
