Why are people interested in eating raw foods or whole foods? One reason is that eating these types of food reduces the risk of acid accumulation in your body.
Raw and whole foods are usually digested more efficiently than cooked and refined foods. When we cook foods, we destroy the natural enzymes(酶) that are part of the food in its raw form. These enzymes were intended by nature to help us digest the food. When we consume food without these natural enzymes, our bodies either digest the food improperly or allow too many nutrients to be absorbed into the bloodstream. In both instances, the result is obesity. When too many nutrients are absorbed at once, the body grows fat. Improperly digested food moves slowly through the digestive tract, where it becomes increasingly acidic. To protect its vital organs from this acidic waste, the body changes the acid into fat and stores it safely away from the organs.
Processed foods contain chemical elements, which might confuse the appetite mechanism that tells us when we’ve had enough to eat; as a result, people often overe at. Processed foods also upset the digestive cycle. The body will either identify these foods as allergens and then store them safely away from the organs as fat, or the remains of undigested food will become acidic and enter the bloodstream as acid waste, which will stick to the blood vessel walls and block the passage of vital oxygen and nutrients heading for the body’s cells. The body’s metabolism (新陈代谢) becomes inactive, and the result is weight gain and obesity.
The accumulation of acid in the digestive tract makes digestion increasingly inefficient. When that happens, even healthy foods can become acidic and the food allergies will become more common.
To stop this vicious circle in its tracks, people need to consume food and supplements that will neutralize the acid already accumulated in body. Eating the right types of raw and whole foods can help. It’s also important to restore your enzyme balance. You need to identify and avoid the foods that cause acid accumulation and consume the foods that increase enzyme production. If you truly want to change and help your body heal itself, you need to take an active approach.
25. It can be inferred from Para. 2 that ____________.
A. foods with natural enzymes help people keep fit
B. we’d better be caut ious about raw and whole foods
C. it is essential for people to protect their vital organs
D. giving up cooked and refined foods is a new lifestyle
26. Processed foods are unhealthy because they ____________.
A. destroy body’s cells
B. may lead to obesity

A. To warn people of the problem of obesity.
B. To advocate eating more raw and whole foods.
C. To inform people of the harm of processed foods.
D. To tell the differences between raw and processed foods.
28. What is likely to be talked about following the last paragraph?
A. Different causes of acid accumulation.
B. Correct ways to cook raw foods.
C. Suitable types of raw and whole foods.

A primary school principal in north China has become the latest internet celebrity for doing some cool moves during a morning exercise routine with his students.
Every moming, 40-year-old principal Zhang Pengfei at the Xi Guan Primary School in Linyi county, Shanxi province would lead about 700 pupils on the playground in a synchronised（同步的）“ghost shuffle” routine—a dance that incorporates（包含）contemporary jazz steps with heel, toe and arm movements. The bold headmaster thought the fun and energetic exercise routine would better encourage students to get active instead of “being glued to their mobile phones”.
The school’s new 30-minute dance routine has replaced the government-imposed broadcast callisthenics（健身操） programme, a short workout that has been a requirement at every primary, middle and secondary school in China since 1951. “I t hought we needed a change because the students have been losing interest in doing the broadcast
callisthenics routine,” Zhang told Southern Metropolis News.
The dedicated principal said he came across a group of people doing the “ghost shuffle” routine at a public plaza last summer and decided to learn the dance himself. “I thought the dance would be great for kids,” he said. “The music is full of energy and it really gets the happy feeling of flowing.” In October. he introduced the choreographed (编舞) routine to all of his students and shortly after, even teachers and staff were joining in. “Now the students aren’t constantly on their phones. I sometimes catch them watching different dance routine videos and learning new moves!” the proud headmaster told reporters.
The video quickly went around on Chinese social media, with a Weibo topic page titled “principal leads students in ghost dance routine” gathering 250 million views. “This is perhaps the best adaption of sport and entertainment for children.” a comment on Weibo read.
29. what can we know from the passage?
A. Zhang Pengfei is a primary school principal in south China.
B. Xi Guan Primary school’s new 30-minute dance routine is both fun and energetic.
C. Doing the broadcast callisthenics routine is only required at primary schools in China.
D. Few people showed interest in Zhang Pengfei’s gho st dance routine video on Weibo.
30. What can we infer from the last paragraph?
A. People hold a critical attitude towards the adaptation.
B. People hold an indifferent attitude towards the adaptation.
C. People hold a negative attitude towards the adaptation
D. People hold a supportive attitude towards the adaptation.
31. Which of the following can be the best title for the passage?
A. A famous primary school principal: Zhang Pengfei
B. Traditional calisthenics programmes in China
C. A Chinese principal leads students in ghost dance routine
D. An internet celebrity in China
D
Being able to land safely is a critically important skill for all flying animals. Comparatively speaking, ground living animals face no particular challenge when they need to stop running or crawling, while flying animals move at much higher speed, and they must be careful about how they land. Hitting the ground, or even water, at full flight speed would be quite dangerous. Before touching down, they must decrease their speed in order to land safely. Both bats and birds have mastered the skill of landing, but these two types of flyers go about it quite differently.
In the past it was believed that, in terms of flying mechanics, there was little difference between bats and birds. This belief was based only on assumption, however, because for years nobody had actually studied in detail how bats move their wings. In recent years, though, researchers have discovered a number of interesting facts about bat flight. Bats are built differently from birds, and their wings are made up of both their front and hind limbs (肢体). This makes coordinating (协调) their limbs more difficult for bats and, as a result, they are not very good at flying over longer distances. However, they are much better at the ability to adjust themselves: a bat can quickly change its direction of flight or completely reverse it, something a bird cannot easily do.
Another interesting characteristic of bat flight is the way in which bats land-upside down! Unlike birds which touch down on the ground or on tree branches, bats can be observed flying around and then suddenly hanging upside down from an object overhead. One downside to this landing routine is that the bats often land with some force, which probably causes pain. However, not all bats hit their landing spots with the same speed and force; these will vary depending on the area where a bat species makes its home. For example, a cave bat, which regularly lives on a hard stone ceiling, is more careful about its landing preparation than a bat more accustomed to landing in leafy treetops.
32. Which of the following is the topic of the passage?
A. Places where flying animals choose to land.
B. Why scientists have difficulty observing bats.
C. Differences in the eating habits of bats and birds.
D. Ways in which bats move differently from birds.
33. Which of the following is a false assumption about bats that was recently corrected?
A. They cannot hear any sound.
B. They sleep upside down.
C. They fly similarly to birds.
D. They hide in tree branches.
34. The word “it” (in 2nd paragrap h) probably refers to “______”.
A. the distance to the nets
B. the sense of flying height
C. the flying direction
D. the ability to change the speed
35. According to the passage, which of the following is NOT true?
A. Bats might hurt themselves when landing.
B. Bats can hang upside down like birds.
C. Bats can adjust speed before landing.
D. Bats and birds land in different ways.

“The calm before the storm” is a very famili ar expression. It is usually used to describe a peaceful period just before a very stressful situation or a tense argument. ___36___ They noted that before certain storms the seas would seem to become calm and the winds would drop.
But why is it often so calm before a storm? ___37___ According to US website HowStuffWorks, a calm period occurs because many storms, tornadoes and hurricanes draw in all the warm and damp air from the surrounding area. As this air rises into the storm clouds, it cools and acts a s “ fuel for the storm ,like petrol in a car. “
Once the storm has taken all the energy it can from the air, it is pushed out from the top of the storm clouds and falls back down to ground level. 38 So once it covers an area, it causes a calm period before the storm.
39 First count how many seconds there are between a flash of lightning and a clap of thunder, roughly three seconds equal one kilometer. A good judgement is that if your count is below 30 seconds, you should seek shelter straight away.
However, due to the complexity of storm system ,calm doesn't always go first. So, your best bet is to keep yourself updated with weather reports for any predictions regarding a coming storm in your area. ___40___
A. Science has given us the answer.
B. There is no definite answer to the question.
C. Weather reports sometimes cannot be trusted.
D. British sailors coined the phrase in the late l600s.
E. As the air declines, it becomes warm and dry, which is stable.
F. The Weather Network has a tip for working out how far away a storm is.
G. That's the most reliable way to predict the next display of nature's temper.
