This includes most of your brain, heart, lungs, muscles and skin, and even about 30 percent of your bones. Yet there’s little scientific agreement about the exact amount of the stuff an individual should consume each day. So how much water do you actually need to drink to be healthy?You may have heard that you should drink eight 8-ounce glasses of water a day. Yet, the downside of this rule, researchers say, is that drinking water by the glass is not the only way that humans take in it. Th e “8 X 8” rule essentially overlooks two big sources of daily water consumption. One such source is food. Everything you eat contains some water. Watermelons, for example, are more than 90 percent water by weight. Different diets naturally contain different amounts of waters, and the counts. The other key water sources are other beverages. Non-alcoholic drinks such as coffee, and tea, contain mostly water and all contribute to your hydration（水量）.So, between all the food, water and other fluids you consume in a day, how much water should you aim to take in?The National Academics of Sciences suggests that woman consume a total of approximately 2.7 liters (91 ounces) of warm from all beverages and foods each day and men 3.7 liters (125 ounces). But these are just general guidelines.The truth is, there is no magic standard for hydration—everyone’s need vary depending on their age, weight, level of physical activity, general health and even the climate they live in. The more water you lose, the more water you’l l need to replace with food and drink. If you are looking for concrete advice, though, the best place to look is within. Drink up when you’re thirsty.1、How does the author support the underlined sentence in Para 1?A．By providing facts.B．By asking a question.C．By making a comparison.D．By putting forward suggestions.2、According to the “8 X 8” rule, how much water should we take in a day?A．8 ounces B．64 ouncesC．91 ounces D．125 ounces3、What’s the disadvantage of the “8 X 8” rule?A．The water from both food and other beverages is ignored.B．It includes the amount of water from both food and beverages.C．It does not take water from drinks into account.D．It overlooks the fact that we take in 90% of the water from fruits.4、What can we infer from the final suggestion?A．A man doing tiring physical work drunks less than 3.7 liters a week.B．A person in good health drinks whenever he feels thirsty.C．An overweight male in a hot summer drinks 125 ounces every two days.D．A female eating a lot of watermelons drinks more than 91 ounces daily.23．（8分）New for This YearWelcome t o the showWe want to make sure you're supported every step of the way when visiting the show so this year we'll have guides at the entrance to answer any of your questions whether you want to get straight to the ice skating rink or more likely... the bar!Slash those pricesThe show is getting bigger and bigger but our prices are getting lower and lower!

A fair number of people advocate a large-scale shift to organic farming from conventional agriculture. But this might not seem well-founded.Since the mid-19th century, conventional industrial agriculture has become incredibly efficient on a simple land to food basis. Conventional farming gets more and more crop per square foot of land, which can mean less wilderness needs to be transformed to farmland.To make farming more efficient, conventional agriculture uses a significant amount of synthetic fertilizer（合成肥料）each year, and all that nitrogen（氮）enables much faster plant growth. However, the cost is paid in vast polluted dead zones at the months of many of the world’s rivers, because much of the nitrogen ends up running off the soil and into the oceans. This also makes conventional farming one of the major threats to the environment.To weaken the environmental impact of agriculture, improve soil quality as well as produce healthier foods, some farmers have turned to organic farming. Environmentalists have also welcomed organic food as better for the planet than the food produced by agricultural corporations. Organic practices --- refusing artificial fertilizers and chemical pesticides –are considered far more sustainable. Sales of organic food rose 7.7% in 2010, up to $26.7 billion—and people are making those purchases for their moral senses as much as their tongues.Yet a new meta-analysis in Nature does the math and comes to a hard conclusion: organic farming produces 25% fewer crops on average than conventional agriculture.In the Nature analysis, scientists performed an analysis of 66 studies comparing conventional and organic methods across 34 different crop species, from fruits to grains. They found that organic farming delivered a lower output forevery crop type, though the difference varied widely. For crops like fruit trees, organic trailed（落后于）conventional agriculture by just 5%. Yet for major grain crops and vegetables –all of which provide the world’s main calories –conventional agriculture outperformed organics by more than 25%.What that means is that while organic farming may be more sustainable than conventional agriculture, there are trade-offs（此消彼长）with each. So an ideal global agriculture system may borrow the best from both systems rather than upholding merely organic or conventional practices.1、What’s the author’s purpose of writing the passage?A．To compare two types of farming.B．To criticize conventional agriculture.C．To discuss the development of farming.D．To argue for a realistic agriculture system.2、What do we know about conventional farming?A．It produces more crops with fewer fertilizers.B．It achieves efficiency at a huge cost to the environment.C．If offers a long-term solution to global demand for food.D．It performs far better for each crop type than organic farming.3、What does the author most probably agree with?A．Employing organic farming to plant rice.B．Adopting organic practices to grow potato.C．Using conventional methods to plant cabbage.D．Applying conventional farming to growing apple.4、Which of the following shows the development of ideas in this passage?CP: Central Point P: Point Sp: Sub-point（次要点）C: ConclusionA．B．C．D．25．（10分）Amazing concept images have shown what homes of the future could look like, as preparations are made for the world’s first freefrom 3D-printed property (房产).Experts will build a house called Curve Appeal, which will be 3D-printed off-site before being put together on-site to create two outside walls, a roof and an inside part. These four main sections will then be joined together.Although 3D-printed buildings have been made before, this home - to be constructed in Chattanooga, Tennessee, later this year — will be the first of its kind, as it will contain no regular shapes or angles. The house is the creation of the design company W ATG, based in London and California. The design for Curve Appeal draws inspiration from the Case Study House program.The architects leading the program were famed for constantly pushing the limits in terms of minimalist (极简主义) materials, and trying to create open-plan spaces that focused on enhancing (增强) natural light. In a written statement, a spokesman for W ATG said, “Employing many of the same modem design principles, Curve Appeal is the next evolutionary step. It’s important that the architecture and the environment work together harmoniousl y. The chosen site is steps away from the Tennessee River in a beautiful wooded, sunlit area.”WATG was awarded the first prize in the Freeform Home Design Challenge in 2016 and given prize money of $ 8,000 to make its plans a reality. The competition was aimed at architects, designers, engineers and artists. Participants were challenged to design a 600 to 800sq ft single-family home that rethinks traditional aesthetics (美学), ergonomics, construction, building systems and structure.Over the last year, W ATG’s Chicago office has been developing their design with Branch Technology. This project is currently underway, working towards breaking ground later this year. Once completed, the Curve Appeal home will have open and light-filled inside living spaces.1、From the passage we can know that Curve Apple .A．will be different from an ordinary houseB．is the first 3D-printed buildingC．has apparent walls and a roofD．was ever built in the world2、Where is the architect located according to Paragraph 4?A．Far away from the Tennessee River.B．In the woods near the Tennessee River.C．Between the Tennessee River and the woods.D．Next to some modem architectures.3、What does the Freeform Home Design Challenge do?A．It motivates participants to design at random.B．It emphasizes traditions rather than modernization.C．It sponsors competitors when necessary.D．It helps put creative ideas into practice.4、What’s the passage mainly about?A．What our homes will look like in the future.B．The Freeform Home Design Challenge.C．The world’s first freeform 3D-printed house.D．The development of 3D in architecture.第三部分语言知识运用（共两节）第一节（每小题1.5分，满分30分）阅读下面短文，从短文后各题所给的A、B、C和D四个选项中，选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项．26．（30分）A couple of years ago, I went to a lady's house to buy some vitamins.
