A
As a nation, we are getting bigger and eating more. But there are effective ways to control your appetite and eat only as much as you need.
Keep away from low-nutrition snacks
That means ice cream, sweets, chips biscuits, cakes and any other salty orsugary snacks you eat between meals. Although we have a tendency to eat them, you can learn to live without these unhealthy-and-fattening-additions to your diet. Try to make it a habit to eat them only when offered at social events or as a special treat.
Leave half an hour between main course and dessert
Having a break between courses gives your brain time to receive the fullness signal and make you more likely to refuse the sweet stuff. And, in fact, as soon as you feel the first signals of fullness, remove your plate from the table. That will tell your brain that food time is over.
Make yours a small helping
Put an end to super-sized portions. You won’t be missing out—today’s small was the medium or large of a few decade ago. Select or serve yourself a modest portion and eat it slowly enjoying the flavors. Before you know it, small will feel just right. What’s more, ordering the smaller size leads to wearing the smaller size.
Distract yourself
When you find yourself hunting down food, even though you’re even hungry, do something else for 20 minutes. Drink a large glass of water as thirst is often confused with a desire for food. Choose something that engages your brain as well as your hands, such as writing a letter or listening to a song. You could also go for a short walk or do something that you enjoy. If you think you really are hungry, set an alarm for 20 minutes’ time and if you still want to eat when it rings, fine. If not, the urge will have passed.
1. Which way suits you better if you tend to order a large portion of food?
A. Distract yourself.
B. Make yours a small helping.
C. Keep away from low-nutrition snacks.
D. Leave half an hour between main course and dessert.
2. Why should you have a break between main course and dessert?
A. To give people time to chat.
B. To have a good appetite for sweet stuff.
C. To reduce appetite for dessert.
D. To give the host time to remove your plate.
3. When you find yourself pursuing for food, what should you do?
A. Eat some biscuits.
B. Eat some sugary snacks.
C. Have some soft drinks.
D. Listen to a lovely melody.
B
If you've ever had a dog, you know just howdeep a connection you can develop with “man's best friend”. But a dog's life is much shorter than humans, about 12 to 15 years long, which means every dog owner has to go through the heart­breaking moment when their loving pet passes away.
Why not make a clone of that dog then? This is the solution offered by a South Korean company, Sooam Biotech Research Foundation. The company has already successfully cloned at least 400 dogs, mostly for US customers, ever since it pioneered the technique in 2005. Now, Sooam Biotech has introduced its business toUKdog owners as well, offering them dogs that look just like their lost ones.
To clone a dog, researchers first need to take a skin cell from a living dog or one that has just died. Meanwhile,another dog is selected to supply an egg. Researchers then replace the DNA in the egg with that from the skin cell and implant the egg into the womb (子宫) of a female dog. The egg grows into a puppy over the following two months. The whole process takes less than a day, but it comes at a shockingly high price — around ￡63,000.But if you can't afford it now, you can also save the cell in a laboratory andaccess it at a later date.
However, magical as cloning might sound, there is no guarantee that the cloned dog will be a perfect copy of the original one. Just like identical twins of humans, they share the exactly same DNA but there will still be small differences between them. “The spots on a Dalmatian (斑点狗) clone will be different, for example” Insung Hwang, head of Sooam Biotech, told The Guardian.
Dog owners will also have to accept the fact that personality is not “cloneable”. Apart from genes, personality is also determined by upbringing and environment, which are both random elements that cloning technologies simply cannot overcome, Professor Tom Kirkwood atNewcastle University,UK, told The Telegraph.
Perhaps bringing our dogs back by cloning is not the best way to remember them after all.Kirkwood, a dog
owner himself, pointed out, “An important aspect of our relationship with them is coming to terms with the pain of letting go.”
4. What service does Sooam Biotech Research Foundation offer?
A. Making copies of pet dogs.
B. Giving pet dogs identical twins
C. Helping dogs give birth to more puppies.
D.Helping dog owners love their dogs more.
5. Which order is correct in the dog cloning process?
a. An egg is taken from another dog.
b. A skin cell is taken from the pet dog.
c. The egg grows into a puppy in two months.
d. The egg is placed in the womb of a female dog.
e. The DNA in the egg is replaced by the DNA from the skin cell.
A.a→d→b→e→c.
B. a→e→b→d→c
C. b→a→d→e→c.
D. b→a→e→d→c.
6. What can we learn about dog cloning from the passage?
A. It has not been put into practice until recently.
B. It is very popular among US andUKpet owners.
C. It might not give the owners an exactlysame dog.
D. It is very expensive and usually takes half a year to complete.
7. What doesKirkwoodthink of dog cloning?
A. He disagrees with it.
B. He supports it.
C. He is curious about it.
D. He thinks it unbelievable.
C
My entire life has been influenced by the fact that I stand way above the average height for both men and women. I was born two weeks late. When I finally entered the world I weighed 11 pounds 10 ounces and was 24 inches long. When my mom told my grandmother my measurements, she asked in amazement, "Are you okay?!"
I was healthy, but very shy as a child and into my teens. I'm from a small town, and I grew up and graduated with the same 50 people. I started playing basketball in third grade every Saturday, but I didn't have any control over my awkward body. (I didn't even score a point in a game until many years later.) I was 5-foot-10 in fourth
grade. I had a small group of friends in elementary school, but sometimes the boys picked on me, calling me a bean pole or the Jolly Green Giant. I still remember my embarrassment when they laughed at me, and how badly I wanted to be invisible.
In high school I got more involved in sports, but I spent most days in the art room. By this time everyone at my school was used to my height (by ninth grade I was 6-foot-3), but if I went out of town people would stare at me and comment about my appearance.I was forced into the spotlight wherever I went.
With high school came more confidence. I had success in school, the arts and sports. I played basketball, but my true passion was track and field. During my senior year I was the conference champion in high jump and the 400-meter run. The friendships I gained through my involvement in high school boosted my confidence and helped me develop a sense of humor. Now when a stranger told me I was tall I would smile and nod or, if I was feeling determined, I would pretend to feel shocked and thank them for telling me. I had no idea!
Still, society keeps me aware of my status as something rare. And even though people tell me I'm beautiful and I should be a model, there are times when I would trade in my long legs for a small frame and tiny feet. I often wish people weren't so rude. I'm a minority only in the sense of height. I like to think that those who have insulted me didn't intend to. I do believe that most people are basically good, but they can be insensitive.
8. What can be inferred from Para.1?
A. The writer's height has something to do with her late birth.
B. Grandmother was unwilling to have the writer as her grandchild.
C. The writer failed to have a successful life because of her unusual height.
D. The writer was heavier and bigger compared with other babies when she was born.
9. By saying 'I was forced into the spotlight', the author probably means that she ________.
A.was criticized by others
B. caught public attention
C. was threatened
D. felt inferior
10. Which of the following statements is NOT mentioned as the writer's experiences in high school?
A. She quit playing basketball and joined the track and field team.
B. She no longer felt upset when facing her height problem.
C. She had a passion for some sports events.
D. She built up more confidence.
11. What does the last sentence imply?
A. People enjoy making fun of others.
B. People are bad andcannot be trusted.
C. People tend to bully those who are weaker.
D. People sometimes care little about how others feel.
D
Gray wolves have lived inNorth Americafor at least half a million years. Their living areas once included most of the continentalUnited States. But during the 1800s and early 1900s, wolves were hunted to near extinction(灭绝).By the 1960s, theU. S.wolf population was limited to a handful of creatures in small comers of the northernMidwest.
Then, in 1973, a law, the ESA, was passed to protect animals from becoming extinct. Gray wolves were one of the first animals placed on the endangered-species(濒危物种)list. Killing them wasillicit. And theU. ernment worked to promote their protection. In a famous example of this effort, starting in 1995, 31 wolves were moved fromCanadatoYellowstoneNational Park. By 2015, more than 500 gray wolves were living in the Greater Yellowstone Ecosystem(生态系统).Today, the continentalU. S.is home to more than 6,000 gray wolves. On January 4, 2021, theU. ernment removed gray wolves from the endangered-species list.
Usually, an animal's removal would be cause for celebration. But some environmental protectors say the wolves still need protection. In some parts of the country, wolves are increasing in numbers. More than a thousand of them can be found just inMichiganandWisconsin. But overall, their range is still a small part of what it was. Wolves used to live across most of the U. S. Now they , are found in fewer than a dozen states. Others argue that as long as a species is not in danger of extinction, it doesn't belong on the endangered-species list. And farmers with land near wolf living areas say that if the wolf's population continues to grow, more of their farm animals will be killed by wolves.
But some protection groups worry that without protection, the wolf population will crash again. They hope that no matter what, people and wolves can get along peacefully with each other. They are promoting ways to make that happen.
12. What caused gray wolves to be almost extinct?
A. Losing their living areas.
B. Too many natural enemies.
C. The extreme climate changes.
D. Being hunted in great numbers.
13. What does the underlined word "illicit" in paragraph 2 mean?
A. Rather difficult.
B. Against the law.
C. Totally normal.
D. Conditionally allowable.
14. Why was the gray wolf removed from the endangered-species list?
A. They have a much larger population already.
B. They have all been put into the safe natural parks.
C. They have been feeding on farmers, farm animals.
D. They have grown too strong to be protected by humans.
15. What do farmers living near gray wolves' living areas think of the animals?
A. The wolves are trouble for them.
B. The wolves must be better protected.
C. The wolves get along peacefully with them.
D. The wolves should live where they belong.
