A
Can you resist cream cakes? I miss my sugar! I’ve decided to lose weight and I had to give up cakes. It’s difficult because I have a sweet tooth and I love cream cakes. Not having treats can be good for your health. I’ve heard that the Burts, a family of five in South East England, lived sugar free for a whole year after they found out their daughter had diabetes (糖尿病). It wasn’t easy. To avoid temptation, I don’t go to any bakeries, but this family actually owns one, which makes up to 3,000 cakes a week.
And how does it feel to live without sugar for a while? Jason Burt said that for a month they felt weak. But later on it all changed. He says he feels “more awake”and full
of energy.
And what about the Burt family business? It had to keep using half a ton of sugar a week and any cook worth his salt knows that you have to taste a recipe to know if it's right. No problem there, says Jason Burt’s wife, Clare. She points out that she’s got lots of people offering to taste the cakes for them. The family is also thinking about selling more delicious products.
I wonder what makes us have a strong desire for sweet food. Anyway, I’ve decided to forget about the sweet taste of sugar for a while. As British model Kate Moss says: “Nothing tastes as good as skinny feels.”
16. From the passage, what do we know about the author?
A. The author is on a diet.
B. The author’s daughter had diabetes.
C. The author runs a bakery.
D. The author hates sweet taste.
17. What did the Burts do after hearing the doctor’s advice?
A. They were greatly shocked.
B. They used half a ton of sugar a week.
C. They avoided sugar completely.
D. They went too far about it.
18. From the passage we can learn it is necessary for a cook _________.
A. to make up to 3,000 cakes a week.
B. to get lots of people offering to taste the cakes
C. to sell more delicious products
D. to taste a recipe to know if it’s right
19. What does the sentence by Kate Moss mean?
A. There is nothing tasting as good as sweets.
B. It is worthwhile to resist food to look skinny.
C. Nobody can resist the desire for sweets.
D. Nothing tastes good when the skin feels terrible.
B
Parents will do anything for their children. Whether it would be the food, clothes, or the place they live in, parents will always make sure their children have the best of everything. One of the biggest concerns that parents currently have is educating their children. They are faced with lots of difficulties when it comes to education for their young ones. Choices include private school, charter school, public school or homeschooling.
Fortunately for parents, there are a variety of different strategies that they can take in order to increase their child’s overall intelligence. According to Ross A. Thompson, PhD, professor of psychology at the University of California at Davis, a child’s brain will actually reach 90% of its full size by the time they start kindergarten.
Researchers at Northwestern University in Chicago concluded that playing a musical instrument directly affected the brain stem, the lower section of the brain. Moreover, children that learn an instrument at an early age tend to continue it when they are older. And numerous studies show that a well-balanced meal is essential for a child’s mental as well as physical health. Some other researchers recommended that a second language should be taught when children are in preschool. They state that three to four years of age is the perfect time and that any age under four would work perfectly fine for a child’s brain development.
The average child will learn how to read between kindergarten and second grade. Many parents can give their children a jump start by teaching them to read before they start school. Children could have an adequate background of the alphabet and sounds of words before attending school. This can be done by simply reading to them whenever you want. The more comfortable they get, the easier the process will be.
20. From the first paragraph, we can infer that _________.
A. parents have more choices in offering education to their kids
B. parents find it hard to satisfy their kids’ various demands
C. parents get actively involved in the process of their kids’ growth
D. parents meet a new challenge when raising their kids
21. What suggestion may the researchers in the passage make?
A. To try as many means as possible.
B. To train kids as early as possible.
C. To help kids develop as fully as possible.
D. To use as many available resources as possible.
22. What does the third paragraph mainly discuss about?
A. The effective ways to help develop children’s brains.
B. The proper time to teach children to learn languages.
C. The vital factors to have a great effect on children’s health.
D. The practical steps to arouse children’s interest in study.
23. We can replace the words “jump start” in the last paragraph with _________.
A. inspiration
B. promotion
C. suggestion
D. introduction
C

As early as the mid-18th century, some people began raising doubts about Marco Polo’s travels. In 1995, historian Frances Wood argued in her book Did Marco Polo Go to China? that the famous explorer from Venice never made it to pass the Black Sea. She noted that his travel journal left out the Great Wall of China, chopsticks and tea drinking among other details. Furthermore, Chinese documents from Polo’s day made no mention of the explorer and his men.
Last year, a team of Italian researchers became the latest to challenge Polo’s accounts. They said that evidence didn’t support his description of Kublai Khan’s Japanese invasions(侵略).
Now, however, research by Hans Ulrich Vogel of Germany’s Tubingen University might help prove Marco Polo was true. In a new book Marco Polo Was in China, the professor of Chinese history tires to prove that Marco Polo spoke the truth. He suggests, for example, that Polo didn’t include the Great Wall in his book because it only achieved its great importance in the Ming Dynasty several hundred years later. Vogel further explains that Chinese records from the 13th and 14th centuries avoided setting down visits from Westerners. Historians before him have touched on these issues. But Vogel also relies on another evidence: the explorer’s very detailed descriptions of currency and salt production in the Yuan Dynasty. According to Vogel, Polo documented these aspects of Mongol Chinese culture in greater detail than any other of his time. This is a hint that Polo relied on his own powers of observation.
Will we ever know whether Marco Polo traveled to China? Perhaps not, but the consequences of his real or fictional journey are still felt across the globe. One reader of “The travels of Marco Polo” was Christopher Columbus, who stepped upon the New World while following his idol’s footsteps.
28. France Wood doubted Marco Polo’s travel’s to China because his description _________.
A. covered so much about traders’ life.
B. was full of obvious mistakes.
C. missed some important culture of China.
D. seemed less detailed.
29. Vogel’s trust on Marco Polo is based on the argument that _________.
a. The Great Wall didn’t gain its importance then
b. Records in the Yuan Dynasty mentioned Polo
c. Polo mentioned the currency and salt
d. Polo’s other works are believable
e. Polo recorded what he saw in great detail
A. a, b, d
B. b, c
C. a, c, d
D. a, e
30. Which of the following shows the structure of the text?
A. B. C. D.
