21．（6分）Supermarket shoppers who buy lots of foods on "two for one" deals are far more likely to be obese(肥胖的) ,a major study suggests.
Cancer Research UK found that those with highest consumption of discounted foods were at 50 percent greater risk of obesity, compared with those with low take-up of such deals.
The study of more than 16,000 households found almost one in three food and drink items in UK supermarket baskets were bought on promotion. And the discounts were far more likely to be applied to unhealthy foods, with almost half of all chocolate, crisps, popcorn, and savoury snacks bought on promotion.
Shoppers whose baskets contained between 40 and 80 percent of goods on special offer were 54 percent more likely to be obese than those with a maximum 20 percent of foods on such deals. Those with highest take-up of the deals bought 30 percent less fruit, and nearly 25 percent fewer vegetables than those shunning the deals.
The study follows a government consultation on proposals to ban "buy one, get one free" deals on unhealthy foods and supermarket "guilt lanes" as part of its childhood obesity strategy.
One in five children are overweight or obese when they start primary school, rising to around one in three when they leave.
Research has found that obesity increases the risk of 13 different types of cancer including bowel and breast disease.
Alison Cox, director of cancer prevention at Cancer Research UK, said: " The government' s proposed 9 p. m. ban on junk food ads is a step forward in fighting
childhood obesity. Now we want to see restrictions on price promotions for unhealthy food and drink items, as well as those strategically placed at checkouts. This will help families to make healthier choices.
"There isn't one magic fix for the problem, but getting rid of these encouragements to buy unhealthy food is key to changing it. "
1、Who are far more likely to be obese?
A．Those who buy food and drink items in UK supermarkets.
B．People who prefer "buy one, get one free" deals on unhealthy foods. C．Shoppers whose baskets contained a maximum 20 percent of discounted foods. D．Households with low take-up of chocolate, crisps, popcorn, and savoury snacks.
2、What does the underlined word " shunning" in Paragraph 4 mean?
A．Closing. B．Accepting. C．Avoiding. D．Negotiating. 3、To fight childhood obesity, the government has .
A．suggested a ban on unhealthy food ads at a specific period of the day B．restricted price promotions for unhealthy food and drink items
C．officially prevented junk food from sale after 9 p. m.
D．helped families to make healthier choices
4、What might be a solution to the problem?
A．Changing people' s attitudes towards healthy diet.
B．Finding out the reason why people like junk food.
C．Removing what makes people buy unhealthy food.
D．Teaching consumers the right way of picking food.
22．（8分）When Kevin Durant gave his tearful MVP speech in 2014, the NBA star made sure to thank one person who had been there with him from the very beginning: his mother. His heartfelt words about the sacrifices she made for Durant and his brother led to a lifetime movie about her journey as a single parent, The Real MVP: The Wanda Durant Story.
Today, the NBA superstar’s mom travels the country as a motivational speaker and philanthropist (慈善家). On Monday, she spoke at Thomson Reuters’ in New York about her personal struggles to achieve financial stability and shared the financial advice she gave her son when he entered the league with CNBC．
“I wanted him to realize he has worked hard,” she says, “And it is OK for him to
enjoy himself because of his hard work. But it is also imperative that he prepares for his future.” While she advised him to enjoy the rewards of his labor, she also wanted to make sure that her son knew the importance of financial planning.
She told the audience that when she found herself a single parent to two children at 21, she couldn’t follow the financial principles. Rather than planning for the future, she focused only on how her money could make ends meet for that moment.
Recently, Durant has teamed up with Laurene Powell Jobs for a new philanthropic program called College Track which is aimed at helping disadvantaged kids attend college. As part of the program, Durant has committed to donating $10 million to his hometown’s public school system.
Durant’s mom says that in addition to his financial decisions, she is proud of his philanthropic work and his desire to help the community. “I thought giving back was always very important, and so we talked about that and he had seen that from us as a family and it’s one of the things that I taught him,” she says.

23．（8分）Robert Todd Duncan was born in 1903 in the southern city of Danville, Kentucky. His mother was his first music teacher. As a young man, he continued his
music study in Indianapolis, Indiana.
In 1930, he completed musical education at Columbia University in New York City. Then he moved to Washington. For fifteen years, he taught music at Howard University in Washington. At that time, not many black musicians were known for writing or performing classical music. Teaching at Howard gave Duncan the chance to share his knowledge of classical European music with a mainly black student population. He taught special ways to present the music. These special ways became known as the Duncan Technique.
Besides teaching, Duncan sang in several operas with performers who were all black. But it seemed that he always would be known mainly as a concert artist. However, his life took a different turn in the middle of 1930s. At that time, the famous American music writer George Gershwin was looking for someone to play a leading part in his new work Porgy and Bess. A music critic (评论家) of The New York Times newspaper suggested Todd Duncan. Duncan had almost decided not to try for the part as he knew it would not be easy to get it. But he changed his mind. He sang a piece from an Italian opera to Gershwin. He had sung only for a few minutes when Gershwin offered him the part. He became famous because of the part in Porgy and Bess.
Todd Duncan gained fame as an opera singer and concert artist. But his greatest love in music was teaching. When he stopped teaching at Howard, he continued giving singing lessons in his Washington home until the week before his death.
1、What is this passage mainly about?
A．What Robert Todd Duncan loved most.
B．How Robert Todd Duncan became famous.
C．Robert Todd Duncan and his musical productions.
D．A brief introduction to Robert Todd Duncan.
2、What happened to Duncan in the middle of 1930s?
A．He gave up teaching at Howard University.
B．He was introduced by The New York Times in detail.
C．He was asked to be in charge of the opera Porgy and Bess.
D．He was given a big opportunity to become an opera singer.
3、We can infer that Robert Todd Duncan had almost decided not to try for the part mainly because .
A．he was too busy to do it B．he was not interested in it
C．he was not confident enough D．he didn’t want to become famous
4、According to the passage, what did Robert Todd Duncan love most?
A．Singing in concerts. B．Writing music.
C．Singing opera. D．Teaching music.
24．（8分）Devon Gallagher, a college graduate from Philadelphia, wants the world to know exactly where she’s been during her worldwide vacation in a special way.
The traveler, who was born with a bone disease, had her right leg amputated (截肢) at the age of four. Although the amputation caused setbacks for Gallagher early on, she now sees it as nothing short of inspiration for living her best life.
To spread that message. Gallagher has taken to social media, where she shares photos of her travels across the globe, but instead of simply using a geo-tag, she writes her location across her artificial leg before taking a picture.
Now she has been taking pictures across the Continent, which show her cycling over the canal in Amsterdam relaxing on a wall overlooking the city of Barcelona, posing with a waffle in Brussels, taking in the spectacular Parthenon temple in Athens and enjoying a river cruise in Budapest, all with the well-known locations written on her artificial leg.
“I get a new leg every two years and I can choose the design on it. One day I had a sudden thought to get a chalk-board,” Gallagher said. “My mum and grand-mother weren,’t too keen on the idea, but my fri ends thought it was great and told me to go for it, so I did.”
Gallagher said people often stare when she’s writing on her leg, but once she shares the photos, she receives only positive feedback, “My leg hasn’t stopped me from doing anything I’ve wanted to do,” she said. “I don’t know if it’s my determination to prove to myself that I can do it, but regardless, I’ve been able to keep up with my peers and lead a pretty great life.”
Gallagher shows us that you should never let anything stand in the way of your dreams. And if life gives you an artificial leg, make art.
1、What message did Gallapher want to spread in her special way?
A．She enjoys her travelling across the globe.
B．She suffers little from her legs amputation.
C．she looks on her misfortune as another form of blessing.
D．She has exactly fallen in love with posting photos online.
2、What does the word “which” underlined in paragraph 4 refer to?
A．the continent B．the pictures C．the leg D．the location 3、Gallapher can best be described as ________.
A．helpful and ambitious B．friendly and generous C．determined and creative D．independent and sensible
4、Which of the following might be the best title for the text?
A．Never Too Late to share B．A Special Artificial Leg
C．An Outstanding Photographer D．Gallagher’s Summer Holidays 25．（10分）Most adults firmly believe that as kids reach their teens, they start to take crazy risks that get them in trouble. Do teenagers simply love taking all risks much more than adults? A recent study suggests otherwise.
Scientists designed a simple experiment involving 33 teenagers and three other age groups. In the experiment, the researchers tried to distinguish between two very different kinds of risk-taking. The first they called a willingness to take known risks (when the probability of winning is clear) and the second they called a willingness to take unknown risks (when the possibility of success is uncertain).
The study offered participants the opportunity to play two kinds of games. They had the chance to win money, with one game offering a known risk and the other offering an unknown risk. On each round of the game, each participant had to choose between taking a sure $5 and known or unknown risks of winning a lot more. If on one particular round they had picked the $5 for sure choice, then they got $ 5. But if on that round they had chosen to take a risk, the rules of the game will determine whether or not they had won. If they did win, they went home with between $8 and $125. And, of course, if they lost, they went home with nothing.
What the scientists found was really quite surprising. It turned out that the average teenager was very hesitant when risks were known—more careful than college students or parents-aged adults, and about as careful as grandparent-aged adults. This means that when the risks were known, teenagers were not risky in their behavior at all. Only when the risks were unclear did teenagers choose them more often than other groups. Under those kinds of conditions, they were much more willing to take a risk than any
other group.
So, what does all of this mean? The research suggests that adults should probably
focus more energy on trying to educate teenagers about risks than limiting them.
Teenagers who understand the risks associated with a decision are more likely to be
careful in their behavior.
1、This experiment was carried out by
A．dividing the teens into three groups
B．comparing the reactions to different risks
C．giving equal amount of awards to the participants
D．observing the emotional changes of the teenager
2、When facing known risks, teenagers tended to be ________.
A．ambits B．cautious
C．anxious D．curious
3、Which group in the study were more likely to take unknown risks?
A．Teenagers. B．College students.
C．Parent-aged adults. D．Grandparent-aged adults.
4、According to the study, parents should focus on ________.
A．guaranteeing children to be careful
B．setting age limits on dangerous activities
C．respecting teens to make their own choices
D．guiding teens to learn more about the effect of risks
