Saying Goodbye to Sugar
It is the end of October. Social media is filled with pictures of people ____11____ promised to give up sugar at the beginning of the month, only to fail. Why is sugar so powerful, and how can we beat it?
Many sugar cravings (渴求) arise from a blood sugar imbalance ____12____ body takes in sugar, your blood sugar quickly increases and your body releases insulin(胰岛素) to lower it to a safer level. If the insulin brings your blood sugar level a bit too low, as often happens, your body longs for foods that will raise it and increase your energy. You are on a blood sugar roller coaster (过山车) that is hard to get off.
The key to balancing blood sugar is to eat foods that prevent too much insulin from ____13____ (release). Healthy fats and protein, for example, provide slow and continuous forms of energy. They are more like a flat, newly paved road rather than that roller coaster. Eating plenty of healthy fats, say nuts, avocados and olive oil, can help your body adjust to getting its energy elsewhere. ____14____ protein can help you is to make you feel satisfied and reduce hunger.

Sometimes we experience cravings that are nothing but ____17____ habit. Perhaps you watched your parents overeat throughout your childhood. Now you do the same, eating pie, for example, even when you are not hungry at all. Or you may have spent years reaching for chocolate or ice cream ____18____ (reduce) sadness.

【13题详解】
考查动名词的被动式。句意:平衡血糖的关键是吃能防止胰岛素释放过多的食物。固定搭配prevent sb from doing sth意为“ 阻止某人做某事”,介词from 后跟动名词,insulin与release逻辑上是被动关系,因此,应该使用被动语态,综上,该空应该填动名词的被动式being released。故填being released。

Too little,___42___, can make you appear uneasy, unprepared, and insincere. In its analysis of patients, ___43___, for example, one large county hospital found, that 9-out-of-10 letters included mention of poor doctor-patient eye contact, a failure which was generally interpreted as “___44___of caring.”
“Just the right” amount of eye contact---the amount that produces a feeling of mutual ___45___and trustworthiness---will vary with situations, settings, personality types, gender and cultural differences. As a general rule, though, direct eye contact ranging from 30% to 60% of the time during a conversation---more when you are listening, less when you are speaking---should make for a ___46___ productive atmosphere.

In fact, we ____50____relationships by the amount of eye contact exchanged: the greater the eye contact,the closer the relationship.

Eye contact is so powerful a force because it is connected with humans’ earliest ____53____patterns. Children who could attract and maintain eye contact, and therefore increase attention, had the best chance of being fed and cared for. Today, newborns ____54____lock eyes with their caregivers, and the power of that infantile eye contact still has its impact on the adult mind.

Directions: Read the following four passages. Each passage is followed by several questions or unfinished statements. For each of them there are four choices marked A, B,C and D. Choose the one that fits best according to the information given in the passage you have just read
(A)
Tim Richter and his wife,Linda,had taught for over 30 years near Buffalo,New York-he in computers,she in special education.“Teaching means everything to us,”Tim would say.In April 1998,he learned he would need a heart operation.It was the kind of news that leads to some serious thinking about life’s purpose.
Not long after the surgery,Tim saw a brochure describing Imagination Library,a program started by Dolly Parton’s foundation(基金会)that mailed a book every month to children from birth to age five in the singer’s home town of Sevier,Tennessee.“I thought,maybe Linda and I could do something like this when we retire,”Tim recalls.He placed the brochure on his desk,“as a reminder.”
Five years later,now retired and with that brochure still on the desk,Tim clicked on imaginationlibrary.com.The program had been opened up to partners who could take advantage of book and postage discounts.
The quality of the books was of great concern to the Richters.Rather than sign up online,they went to Dollywood for a look-see.“We didn’t want to give the children rubbish,”says Linda.The books-reviewed each year by teachers,literacy specialists,and Dollywood board members-included classics such as Ezra Jack Keats’s The Snowy Day and newer books like Anna Dewdney’s Llama Llama series.
Satisfied,the couple set up the Richter Family Foundation and got to work.Since 2004,they have shipped more than 12,200 books to preschoolers in their area.Megan Williams,a mother of four,is more than appreciative:“This program introduces us to books I’ve never heard of.”
The Richters spend about﹩400 a month sending books to 200 children.“Some people sit there and wait to die,”says Tim.“Others get as busy as they can in the time they have left.”

A. He needs more money to help the children.

(C)
In rich countries like America, the absence of professional waste-pickers presents a problem. The general public is not very good at sorting rubbish. Households and businesses serviced by municipal waste-management providers may actually have got worse at sorting in the past 20 years, says Peter Keller of Republic Services, America's second-biggest waste management firm, which runs Newby Island in San Jose.
Citizens of rich countries, where almost 100% of municipal waste gets collected, take such services for granted - unless the collectors go on strike (罢工),as happened in the Belgian city of Ghent in early August, leaving streets in a stink (恶臭) for days. In some industrialized nations, increasingly, residents are charged based on volume (known as "pay-as-you-throw") To encourage sorting, such schemes often exempt recyclables.
The volume of recyclables has reached 1,400 tons a day, a lot by American standards, says Mr. Keller. That should come as no surprise. After all, inhabitants of the San Francisco Bay area pride themselves on their recycling ability. San Francisco boasts a recycling rate of 80% one of the highest of any rich-world city. San Franciscans may therefore be shocked to learn that a lot of them, as Mr. Keller puts it, “aren't very good at it"
Two possible reasons account for Mr. Keller's remarks. The first is that many people do not know what is recyclable. Beer bottles and soft-drink cans are, he says. Egg cartons and magazines are not, for there is not market for the materials of which they are made. Some things are recyclable on their own, but not when combined, such as "paper" cups lined with plastic film. It is hard to blame consumers for feeling increasingly puzzled, he admits
The other problem is that residents only have to separate recyclables from non-recyclables Cans, bottles and papers are all thrown into one bin. This mix can, to some degree, be sorted at plants like Newby, enabled by clever technology which uses optical sensor;(光电感应器) and magnets to separate materials automatically. Anyway, these was no match for humans when it came to sorting.
As the volume of recyclables increased in America and Europe, the quality of recycled output decreased because everything was mixed in together. This did not trouble materials. recovery facilities (MRF) operators so long as they would offload their increasingly impure stock abroad. Then China announced it would not accept any plastics or carboard, and American waste-management companies have been struggling to find what to do with their poor-quality waste.
63. According to the passage, the biggest problem in rich countries caused by lack of professional waste-pickers is that ________.
A. waste collectors often go on strike regardless of people's needs
B. no one teaches people how to tell apart recyclable and non-recyclables
C. waste sorting by machine is far from perfect so far
D. citizens fail to deal with waste sorting properly
64. Which of the following best defines the word "exempt"(Paragraph 2)?
A. make no charge for B. set aside
C. fully expect D. set the standard for
65. What can be inferred from Mr. Keller's comments on San Franciscans" recycling ability?
A. More advanced waste sorting machines will be launched (推出) as soon as possible.
B. San Franciscans are not informed that there is no need to recycle egg cartons.
C. Recycling ability is not all about separating recyclables from non-recyclables
D. It's hard for San Franciscans to change their recycling habits in the new times
66. The paragraph that follows the passage will be probably about ________.
A. the reason why MFR is not worried about poor-quality waste
B. China's new policy to keep foreign rubbish out
C. efforts to teach residents how better to sort their rubbish
D. the components (成分) of the mixed waste in America
【答案】63. D 64. A 65. C 66. C
【解析】
【分析】本文是一篇说明文。文章介绍了垃圾回收在美国这样的发达国家成了非常严峻的问题,本国人们不擅长垃圾分类,美国的废物管理公司也一直在努力寻找处理这些废物的方法。
【63题详解】
细节理解题。根据第一段“In rich countries like America, the absence of professional waste-pickers presents a problem. The general public is not very good at sorting rubbish.(在像美国这样的富裕国家,专业拾荒者的缺乏是一个问题。一般大众不太善于分类垃圾。)”可知,在富裕国家,由于缺乏专业的捡垃圾人员而造成的最大问题是市民未能妥善处理垃圾分类。故选D项。
【64题详解】
词句猜测题。根据第二段“In some industrialized nations, increasingly, residents are charged based on volume (known as "pay-as-you-throw") To encourage sorting, such schemes often exempt recyclables.(在一些工业化国家,为了鼓励分类,居民越来越多地按照体积收费(被称为“随扔随付”) ,这样的计划往往豁免了可回收物品。)”中的charged以及To encourage sorting可推知,对于可回收物品,应该是免费的。故选A项。
【65题详解】
推理判断题。根据倒数第二段“The other problem is that residents only have to separate recyclables from non-recyclables Cans, bottles and papers are all thrown into one bin. This mix can, to some degree, be sorted at plants like Newby, enabled by clever technology which uses optical sensor;(光电感应器) and magnets to separate materials automatically.(另一个问题是,居民只将可回收物品和不可回收物品分开,把罐子、瓶子和纸都扔进一个垃圾桶里。在某种程度上,这种混合物可以在像Newby这样的工厂里进行分类,这得益于使用光学传感器和磁铁来自动分离材料的聪明技术。)”可知,回收能力并不完全是将可回收物品与不可回收物品分开而已。故选C项。
【66题详解】
推理判断题。根据最后一段“Then China announced it would not accept any plastics or carboard, and American waste-management companies have been struggling to find what to do with their poor-quality waste.(随后,中国宣布不接受任何塑料或车载板,美国的废物管理公司也一直在努力寻找处理这些劣质废物的方法。)”中的struggling to find可推知,文章后面的段落大概是关于努力教育居民如何更好地分类他们的垃圾。故选C项。
Section C
Directions: Complete the following passage by using the sentences given below. Each sentence can be used only once. Note that there are two more sentences than you need.
The images were shocking, and the reaction was completely predictable. The sight of a polar bear lying hurt on a beach - blood matting the fur of its neck, with one huge paw folded under its body - received immediate criticism globally. By the shore in the background stand a group of guides, talking to each other. One of them had a gun hanging casually on his shoulder. This is not something that is taken lightly. ____67____ .
This powerful image raises questions about the motivations (动机) of this kind of tourism or ecotourism. ____68____. Are there regions in the world where nature should be left completely untouched? Has our access to large animals in the wild, often driven by a desire for sensational images, led these animals to become accustomed to human contact? If so, the loser would surely pay a heavy price for such an approach.
Before we answer these questions, we would consider the events that are of global concern. For me, I was definitely shocked. I have recently returned from a trip to Svalbard, and indeed stood two weeks ago on the very beach where the bear was shot. ____69____. Was the beach examined from the ship offshore beforehand? Was there access to flares (信号弹) to scare off a bear that appeared suddenly? These are standard measures for a respectable operator, and the accident could be the result of a system failure.
However, images and events should not be used to criticize the concept of ecotourism. Ecotourism is an expanding market that brings benefits as well as challenges to the regions around the world in which it operates. ____70____. The key is responsibility and research before booking. If ecotourism is done properly, the benefits are immediate and lasting.
A. The bear's death should never have happened.
B. The reality, however, is considerably more complex.
C. Simply closing off these regions is not the answer.
D. Should we be in these environments at all?
E. Visitors often become ambassadors (大使) for the endangered polar bear.
F. This can be by making financial decisions to conservation groups.
【答案】67. B 68. D 69. A 70. C
【解析】

【68题详解】
根据上文“This powerful image raises questions about the motivations (动机) of this kind of tourism or ecotourism.(这一强有力的形象引发了人们对这种旅游或生态旅游动机的质疑)”和下文列举的一系列问题,可知,空处也提出了类似的值得人们反思的问题。D项:Should we be in these environments at all?(我们应该在这些环境中吗?)符合语境。故选D。
【69题详解】
根据上文“For me, I was definitely shocked. I have recently returned from a trip to Svalbard, and indeed stood two weeks ago on the very beach where the bear was shot.(我最近刚从斯瓦尔巴群岛旅行回来,两周前我就站在那头熊被射杀的海滩上)”和下文“Was the beach examined from the ship offshore beforehand? Was there access to flares (信号弹) to scare off a bear that appeared suddenly?(在离岸的船上是否事先检查过海滩?有办法用照明弹吓跑突然出现的熊吗?)”可知,空处表明熊的死亡本来是可以避免的。A项:The bear's death should never have happened.(熊的死亡本不应该发生)符合语境。故选A。
【70题详解】
根据上文“Ecotourism is an expanding market that brings benefits as well as challenges to the regions around the world in which it operates.(生态旅游是一个不断扩大的市场,它给世界各地的地区带来了利益,也带来了挑战)”和下文“The key is responsibility and research before booking.(关键是在预订之前负责和研究)”可知,生态旅游能带来利益,因此直接关停不是解决的办法。C项:Simply closing off these regions is not the answer.(简单地关闭这些区域不是答案)符合语境。故选C。

利用假期外出旅游是大多数同学的选择。出游时,你会选择:
(1)与谁同行,家人还是同学?
(2)哪种旅游方式:是跟团游(to joint the tourist team)还是自助游(self-help tourism)?
请进行选择并阐述理由。
【答案】 Going traveling is one of the most popular trends for students to follow during holidays. I enjoy traveling, too. For me, I prefer traveling with my family and self-help tourism.
Traveling with family members has many advantages over traveling with friends. First of all, family members are very familiar with our habits, thus making traveling just like our daily life. Secondly, it's safer to travel with family members. Parents love us very much and will offer us help whatever the situation is.
I prefer self-help tourism because there's more freedom than joining the tourist team. I can choose the tourist attractions and landscapes I like and omit those boring ones. Furthermore, I can get up according to myself rather than showing up on the tourism bus with a half-awake face.
That's my reasons for choosing self-help tourism with my family members. In my point of view, whatever means of traveling you choose, the most important thing is to enjoy yourself.
