一、阅读理解
A
What if your parents are too busy to cook dinner, so they give you a bag of candy…?
That’s exactly what some parents did in the 1920s in America. Back then, stores sold more kinds of candy than they do now. Most people thought it was as good for them as a healthy dinner. Many scientists also thought candy was good for people抯 health.
Now, of course, we know that sugar isn抰 good for us. But could it really be that bad if it tastes so delicious? Sadly, yes.
揈veryone loves sugar, says Dr. Robert Lusting, a sugar expert. 揃ut sugar has a dark side. Take breakfast, for example. Sugary cereal (谷类植物) gives you energy, but only for a short time. Then you start to feel sleepy. Foods like oatmcal (麦片) and fruit give your body energy for hours. And eating a lot of sugar can cause health problems, including serious illnesses. These days, more and more children are getting illnesses caused by eating too much sugar.
The good news is that changing your diet can help梐nd fast. Lusting recently did a study that helped overweight children eat less sugar. All of the children who cut out sugar had fewer health problems in just 10 days.
Knowing the risks of eating too much sugar can help you make healthy food choices. Does this mean you have to give up sugar completely? No. It just means you should make sure you are eating plenty of healthy foods, like fresh fruit and vegetables. Most of us can eat candy sometimes, but just make sure it抯 not your dinner.
1.In the 1920s in America, candy ___________.
A.came in fewer kinds than today
B.was often eaten after dinner
C.cost a lot more than today
D.was regarded as healthy
2.What does the underlined word 揹iet in paragraph 5 mean?
A.Energy. B.Food.
C.Nutrition. D.Vitamin.
3.What can be a suitable title for the text?
A.Kids Like Candy B.The Truth about Sugar
C.The Importance of Breakfast D.Dangers of Being Overweight

Of all my dreams, my least favorite is the one where I'm in a car. It always begins with me driving, but eventually I realize that for some reason I'm sitting in the back seat. I can抰 keep the car under control, rushing toward the roadside until, screaming, I wake up.
This is like the passenger experience in Waymo's self-driving cars. You sit in the back seat of a vehicle and watch as the wheel turns itself above an entirely empty driving seat.
''We made you live your nightmare, '' a Waymo staff member joked after I exited one of the company's fully self-driving car, following a quick drive inside its secret testing site. Waymo, a self-driving car company, arranged these rides for 40 journalists at this site.
There were also some demonstrations(演示). We watched as a Waymo car was cut off by a speeding vehicle. Then the employees created a situation in which a pile of moving boxes fell into the street just as another car passed in the opposite direction. Throughout the day, the cars performed impressively, driving with the level of care you might take if you had a wedding cake in the back seat.
During these demonstrations, Waymo gave information about what it was planning to do with these vehicles. The company has laid out four ways that its technology could be made available to the public. But Waymo's CEO, John Krafcik, wouldn抰 show which of these was likely to come to market first, or on what kind of timeline.
I can't help but admire that Waymo is succeeding in developing this technology. There are countless possibilities at play on the road. The task of programming software to react to all those situations is unimaginably complex. What a great breakthrough!
4.How did the author feel about her self-driving experience in her dream?
A.It was puzzling. B.It was terrifying.
C.It was amusing. D.It was inspiring.
5.The author is probably _______________.
A.a newspaper reporter B.a professional driver
C.a software developer D.a Waymo staff member
6.What did the author intend to prove by mentioning the wedding cake in paragraph 4?
A.The employees performed well.
B.The self-driving cars worked well.
C.The self-driving cars ran at the same speed.
D.People could depend on the cars in emergencies.
7.What can be inferred from the passage?
A.The self-driving car will come to market soon.
B.The programming software needs to be improved.
C.The technology will make a difference to people's life.
D.The company still has no plan to put the technology into practice.
C
I have been dancing since I was 14 years old, when my best friend dragged me to an after-school dance class. I enjoyed that dance class so much that I have been dancing ever since. After every dance class, however, I always have to stretch out my legs and back to make myself relaxed! It feels like as much exercise as going to the gym---but dancing is not widely considered to be a sport. Does that dancing is expressive and artistic mean that it is not a sport?
Some dancers would argue that dancing is a sport, as it requires great physical stamina, strong muscles and impressive flexibility. No matter what style of dance you are participating in, you will always be using all of your muscles while dancing and this can often be for several hours a day. Additionally, in the more traditional dance style (like ballet), men often lift their female dance partners high in the air. That means the dancers are often just as athletic as footballers, runners or swimmers.
On the other hand, many people argue that dance is an art form. Dance often exhibit emotion, represent characters and tell stories. Dancing to music is creative and visually appealing to the eyes and ears, just like watching a play or a professional show. The shiny costumes, the stage make-up and the big hairstyles are artistic and imaginative. It is easy to see why many people consider dance to be an art form.
I personally believe that dance is both a sport and an art. I believe that a great dancer will be a mixture of an athlete and an artist. You could have the strongest muscles in the world but not necessarily be a great dancer. Likewise, you could be a great actress who can express emotions easily but you still might not be able to dance. However, whether you consider dance to be an art or a sport, the important thing is to enjoy it! Dancing is a great way to make new friends and it抯 a really fun way to exercise!
8.Why does the author think having a dance class is like taking exercise?
A.Because she finds it also needs physical effort.
B.Because she takes interest in dancing as well as in sport.
C.Because she should do much exercise before dancing.
D.Because she finds dancing has hurt her legs and backs.
9.Which of the following can replace the underlined word 搒tamina in paragraph 2?
A.activity B.shape
C.strength D.condition
10.How is the text organized?
A.Topic桟omparison桹pinion.
B.Opinion桪iscussion桬ffect.
C.Main idea桝rgument桪iscussion.
D.Introduction桽upporting Examples桟onclusion.
11.What is the main artistic feature of dancing?
A.Having a large amount of exercise.
B.Being creative and imaginative.
C.Requiring great physical strength.
D.Creating emotions accurately.
D
Like Indiana Jones (a fictional character), who undertakes daring adventures in his spare time, my father is a businessman by day and a thrill-seeker by night.
His enthusiasm rubbed off on me, and I have been lucky to be his companion on many adventures. We started out by riding America’s fastest, most twisted roller coasters. After that a whitewater rafting trip through the Grand Canyon（峡谷）on the Colorado River started our search for other extreme thrills across the globe.
Amazing thrills awaited us at every corner of the world. Skydiving was especially thrilling when performed from a helicopter over the breathtaking Swiss Alps. We have bungee jumped from the world抯 highest platform, Bloukrans Bridge in South Africa. Most recently, in Interlaken, Switzerland, we attempted canyoning（溪降运动）.
Anyone who loves a challenging thrill should try canyoning. Our adventure began with a 90-foot rope down a canyon wall into a rushing ice-cold river. Then we crossed the bone-chilling water toward the mouth of the river, our final destination, where the reward for the journey would be a whole view of the beautiful Interlaken basin. We slid over slippery rocks at one moment, jumped from waterfalls and swam through underwater tunnels the next. Back and forth we alternated, climbing rope ladders before going back into the fresh mountain water. Certainly, danger was waiting for us in each of these activities, but that very danger provided the rush. Canyoning was indeed one thrill after another, from beginning to end.
While canyoning is possible only in certain places, thrills and adventure can be found anywhere. Our beginnings in the U.S. showed us just that. We continue to seek the big thrills, but in doing so, we have learned to seek lesser excitement in daily life as well. After all, we can抰 go canyoning every day, and small thrills are better than none for us thrill-seekers.
12.What do we know about the author抯 father?
A.He is a very successful businessman.
B.He is doing a part-time job.
C.He likes Indiana Jones very much.
D.He enjoys experiencing adventures.
13.What does the underlined phrase 搑ubbed off on mean in paragraph 2?
A.relate to B.keep off
C.affect D.confuse
14.What did the author and his father do when attempting canyoning?
A.Jumped down from waterfalls and swam across the icy water.
B.Jumped down a canyon river and crossed it.
C.Climbed over a rope ladder and swam through underwater tunnels.
D.Climbed down a canyon wall and swam across the rushing icy river.
15.What does the author want to tell us in the last paragraph?
A.Small thrills in daily life are worth a try as well.
B.We had better go abroad to experience canyoning.
C.Canyoning is not suitable for everyone.
D.America is the most proper place to experience adventures.
二、七选五
The best time to try to fight global warming is now! Any action that reduces water and energy consumption and the build-up of harmful gases in our atmosphere, helps to minimize the effects of global warming. Simple ideas that you can easily put into practice are as follows.
16. Even though some areas experience rainfall, other areas are short of water. At home, simple actions like making sure you turn off the tap while brushing your teeth will make a difference to both the environment and your water bill!
Turn off devices (设备) that are not in use. 17. Thus, you can easily develop the habit of leaving something on. Not only is this bad for the devices themselves, but also you end up wasting energy needlessly. Before smartphones and computers, there were games consuming no energy at all. 18. Surely, you will enjoy yourselves without worsening global warming.
Walk or cycle as much as possible. Not only are these great ways to get some exercise, but they are the least polluting means of transport. For short distances, walking and cycling should really be your first choice. Nowadays, there are many shared bikes available. 19.
Use public transport or car pool (拼车). If you need to travel longer distances, public transport is greenest. 20. You could also try out car pool. These are designed to save you money and fill up cars that would normally be driven empty on the roads.
