A
We live in a sweet world. The average American kid eats more than 20 teaspoons of sugar per day, and adults eat 50% more sugar today than they did in the 1970s. We all know that too much sugar isn’t good for you. But did we know it could be dangerous?
A team of researchers at the University of Utah used mice to do a study on the bad effects of sugar. They found it could have serious effects on people’s health.
Sugar is found not only in sweets and candies, but also in many household items like pasta and crackers.
During the 58-week-long study, mice were fed a diet containing 25% more sugar. This percentage equals a healthy human diet along with three cans of soda daily. The team found that these mice were twice as likely to die as mice fed a similar diet without the sugar. Though the mice did not show signs of obesity or high blood pressure, male mice produced 25% fewer offspring (后代) than the other mice.
Scientists often use mice for research because they have a similar genetic (基因) structure to humans. “Since most substances (物质) that are dangerous in mice are also dangerous in people, it’s likely that those physical problems that cause those mice to have increased deaths also work in people,”says study author James Ruff of the University of Utah. Findings from this study show bad effects that are not as noticeable as weight gain or heart problems. Sugar can contribute to long-term changes in the body that can change development and even shorten lives.
Cutting sugar out of the American diet altogether may be difficult. But making the effort to control our nation’s sugar need will provide for a truly sweeter future.
1. The study done by researchers aimed at learning about________
A. the advantages and disadvantages of sugar
B. the bad effects of sugar on people’s health
C. the genetic structure of mice
D. American’s eating habit.
2. According to the study, which of the following statements is wrong?
A. Sugar can even shorten lives.
B. Sugar’s bad effects are not noticeable.
C. Eating much more sugar can make mice put on weight and get high blood
pressure.
D. Mice are more likely to die when fed a diet containing 25% more sugar.
3. From the passage we can infer_______
A. sugar plays a very important role in Americans’ diet
B. kids eat more sugar than adults in America
C. the study on human beings lasted 58 weeks
D. the genetic structure of mice is totally different from that of people
4. What’s the best title of th e passage?
A. Living a sweet life
B. Kids eat much more sugar
C. Genetic structure of humans
D. Danger of too much sugar
B
The Spring Festival is the biggest festival for Chinese people all around the world. The celebration usually lasts for 15 days. There is a lot to do.
On the eve of the Spring Festival, family members get together and have big meals. Their favourite dish on this day is dumplings.
Days before the Spring Festival, families will clean their homes. People think cleaning sweeps away bad luck. It makes the house ready for good luck.
The colour red is everywhere during the Spring Festival. People think red is a happy colour and will bring them a bright future. People wear red, too. They decorate (装饰) their homes with pieces of red paper. Kids get a lot of "hong bao". It is a red paper bag with money in it. Usually, older people give younger ones“hong bao”. They think it brings good luck.
The Spring Festival is the time to make everybody happy. So don't say any bad words or do anything that will bring unhappiness to other people.
For instance, you'd better not say any bad words like "death". Don't break anything. People think that it means your luck is running out.
Also, don't borrow or lend money on these days. If you have borrowed money, return it before the Spring Festival.

Music is often thought of as “easy”or “play time”，but it's not that at all. Music plays a very important part in our education. Students who learn music learn a lot of music history at school. This includes “modes (调式)”，which were used in churches during the development of music. They are still used today. Students learn about the historical events that were taking place when the music they play was written. They learn what the music was used for. So much of our culture is in music and has been for centuries. Music also helps with science. Students use science to help them discover what sounds good together and what doesn't. Students also need science to understand something called the “overtone series”, which is about how music is produced by vibration (颤动) and why. Students learn a lot about languages. Many songs are written in other languages, including ancient ones. Students must learn to translate these works to understand what they are singing about. Some songs are famous poems or short works set to music. Students learn a huge amount of coordination (协调) through music, so parts of the body can work better together. Students must use fine motor skills in order to play an instrument. Singers and players must learn breath control and be in good shape to play.
Students learn about art. Some famous pieces were written about important works of art, and students learn about the artists and styles as they're playing the
music. Music education also brings higher thinking to our children. It allows them to think about complex patterns (How can I make my part sound better？How do this music and these different parts fit together？). Students have to know absolutely what every other musician does at all times. In that way, it develops teamwork. As one can see, music is very important to education besides bringing us fun.
9. Learning music is helpful to the following subjects EXCEPT ________．
A. science
B. language
C. politics
D. history
10. Students who learn music have to translate songs ________．
A. because they are learning the language
B. because they must understand what they are singing about
C. because the songs are ancient ones
D. because they are famous poems
11. Which of the following is NOT true according to the passage?
A. Modes are still used in modern music.
B. Different kinds of music show different cultures.
C. It's easier for athletes to learn to play an instrument.
D. A good musician should know the importance of teamwork.
12. What is the main idea of the passage?
A. The importance of music.
B. The importance of music education.
C. Ways to learn music well.
D. Skills music students should have.

October 15th is Global Handwashing Day. Activities are planned in more than twenty countries to get millions of people in the developing world to wash their hands with soap.
Experts say people around the world wash their hands but very few use soap at so-called extremely moments. These include after using the toilet，after cleaning a baby and before touching food.
Global Handwashing Day is the idea of the Public Private Partnership for handwashing with soap. The goal，they say，is to create a culture of handwashing with soap. The organizers say all soaps are equally effective at removing disease-causing germs (细菌)．They say the correct way to wash is to wet your hands with a small
amount of water and cover them with soap. Rub it into all areas，including under the fingernails. Then，wash well under running water. Finally，dry your hands with a clean cloth.
The Partnership says soap is important because it increases the time that people spend washing. Soap also helps to break up the dirt that holds most of the germs. And it usually leaves a pleasant smell，which increases the chances that people will wash again.
It also says that washing hands with soap before eating and after using the toilet could save more lives than any medicine. It could help reduce cases of diarrhea (痢疾)，which is the second leading cause of child deaths，killing more than one and a half million children a year，by almost half.
13. Which of the following is the right way to wash hands?
a. Washing hands well under running water.
b. Covering hands with soap.
c. Drying hands.
d. Rubbing hands with soap.
e. Wetting hands.
A. a-c-b-e-d
B. e-d-a-b-c
C. a-c-b-d-e
D. e-b-d-a-c
14. Which fact can’t explain why soap is important?
A. It gives people a longer handwashing time.
B. It helps to remove a lot of germs from hands.
C. It attracts people to do more handwashing.
D. It gets all people into the habit of washing hands.
15. According to the last paragraph，diarrhea is a disease that______.
A. kills half of the kids in the developing countries a year
B. causes the greatest number of child deaths
C. can be prevented to some degree by washing hands with soap
D. can’t be cured without washing hands

Tips for Cooking on a Tight Schedule
From my experience, there are three main reasons why people don't cook more
often: ability, money, and time. 16 Money is a topic I'll save for another day. So today I want to give you some wisdom about how to make the most of the time you spend in the kitchen. Here are three tips for great cooking on a tight schedule:
1.Think ahead. The moments when I think cooking is a pain are when I'm already hungry and there's nothing ready to eat. So think ahead of the coming week. When will you have time to cook? Do you have the right materials already? 17
2. Make your time worth it. When you do find time to cook a meal, make the most of it and save yourself time later on. Are you making one loaf of bread? 18 It takes around the same amount of time to make more of something. So save yourself the effort for a future meal.
3. 19 This may surprise you, but one of the best tools for making cooking worth your time is experimentation. It gives you the chance to hit upon new ideas and recipes that can work well with your appetite (食欲) and schedule. The more you learn and the more you try, the more ability you have to take control of your food and your schedule.
Hopefully that gives you a good start. 20 And don't let a busy schedule discourage you from making some great changes in the way you eat and live!
A. Try new things.
B. Ability is easily improved.
C. Make three or four instead.
D. Understand your food better.
E. Cooking is a burden for many people.
F. Let cooking and living simply be a joy rather than a burden.
G. A little time planning ahead can save a lot of work later on.

Dear Mr. Cousins,
Since you are a well-known musician, I’m writing this e-mail to ask you for some advice on how to form a band. I, together with two boys and two girls in different classes in our school, want to form a band. We are all fond of pop music and modern dance. I’d like to know whether we should play one kind of music or different styles to start with. And is it enough to practice only at weekends? How can we get more chances to perform? We’d appreciate it if you would come up with a name for our band.
Looking forward to your reply
Best wishes!
Yours sincerely,
Li Hua。
