That rule is expected to soon become reality in parts of Mexico, as lawmakers in several states push legislation(立法) to keep junk food away from children. “I know it can sound a bit difficult but we have to take action now,” says Lopez, a lawmaker in Oaxaca’s Congress.More than 70, 000 Mexicans have died from COVID-19, the world’s fourth-highest recorded death toll, tracked by Johns Hopkins University. 89% of those who died in Mexico had an underlying(内在的) medical condition such as obesity, diabetes(糖尿病), high blood pressure and heart problems. That has led to a new urgency to change diets so that the younger generation doesn’t suffer those illnesses.The critics, however, say the leaders are using preexisting health conditions in COVID-19 patients to distract from a weak government response to the virus outbreak. Yet few people would deny that the country consumes large amounts of sugar-sweetened drinks and processed snacks with little nutrition — or that Mexico has a major weight problem.Oaxaca’s governor approved the state’s junk food prohibition(禁止) last week. Legislators still have to complete the legal systems, and punishment could include fines and even jail. Lopez says legislators from all over the country have called her for advice. Many other states are debating a junk food ban. However, a nationwide law would not be easy. “There are powerful commercial interests that least want it to happen, but we must prioritize(优先考虑) the well-being of our children,” Lopez says.What is Lopez’s attitude towards the junk food?
A.Positive.      B.Neutral.       C.Negative.     D.Indifferent.
25.What does the underlined word “distract” mean in paragraph 3?
A.Shift attention.     Avoid illnesses.
C.Break away.       D.Keep distance.
26.Which of the following statements is true?
A.Selling children junk food has been banned nationwide in Mexico.
B.The younger generation doesn’t suffer any weight problems.
C.Most Mexicans who died of COVID-19 had other health problems.
D.People who break the prohibition in Oaxaca will only be warned.
27.According to the last paragraph, who are most likely to oppose the legislation?
A.Teenagers.           B.Soft drink companies.
C.Legislators.          D.State governors.                               CIn New Brighton, Minnesota, the Bartz brothers(Connor, Austin, and Trevor)have built beautiful snow sculptures in their front yard for the past five years. But they’re not ordinary snowmen — they’re huge and sea-themed!The tradition began in 2012, after a family fishing trip in Florida, where Connor, then 17, caught a puffer fish(河豚鱼). It encouraged the boys to make a super-sized fish out of snow. So they got to work, collecting as much snow as possible from around their neighborhood. After eight hours of shoveling(用铲子铲) and sculpting snow their 5-foot-tall puffer fish was complete. And it was a big hit! Before long, the locals and TV reporters began stopping by their front yard to enjoy their creation.“Each winter, we decide which sea animals would work best and be the most fun to build, ” Trevor said. Since 2012, they’ve made a shark, a turtle, an octopus(章鱼) and so on. Their favorite is the octopus, which they built in 2016. It is their biggest sculpture yet, taking nearly 500 hours and 150 tons of snow to make!The brothers also made sure it was just as much fun for visitors. “We liked that it was kid-friendly, with tentacles(触须) you could slide under, ” Connor said. Named by Facebook fans, Octavius the octopus was a star appearing on national news stations.To make the most of their project, the boys decided to raise money for a good cause. “Given that our work is made from snow, it made sense to collect money to help provide drinking water to people in need, ” Austin said. They teamed up with One Day’s Wages, an organization that provides clean water to people in Haiti. By the end of winter, the brothers had raised $17, 263!Their advice for anyone with big dreams, “If you want to be successful, work hard and have a good attitude, ” Austin said. “Success might not come immediately, but take joy in what you are doing now. When we were younger, we made many snow creations that did not make the news, but we still had a pleasurable experience! ”28.What inspired the Bartz brothers to start their creations?
A.Their family traditions.
B.Their neighbors’ praise.
C.Austin’s snowmen
D.A fish caught by Connor.
29.Which one is TRUE about Octavius the octopus?

B.It was the boys’ smallest sculpture.
C.It attracted wide attention.
D.It helped the boys make a lot of money.
30.What suggestion did the Bartz brothers make?
A.Think twice.
B.Start small and enjoy it.
C.Learn to be creative.
D.Make use of everything.
31.Which of the following can best describe the Bartz brothers?

C.Open-minded and smart.
D.Hard-working and courageous.                                DThe populations of common animals are just as likely to rise or fall in number in a time of accelerating (加速) global warming as those of rare species, a study suggests.Until recently, scientists were still accumulating data on how animal populations were shifting over time globally across the different regions of the planet.Making use of the newly available data, a team of University of Edinburgh researchers studied nearly 10 000 animal populations recorded in the Living Planet Database between 1970 and 2014 to provide a new perspective on animal population change. These include records of mammals, reptiles, sharks, fish, birds and amphibians(两栖动物).The team found that 15 percent of all populations declined during the period, while 18 percent increased and 67 percent showed no significant change. Amphibians were the only group in which population sizes declined,while birds,mammals and reptiles experienced increases. The overall decline in amphibians makes them a priority for conservation efforts, researchers say, as their loss could have knock-on effects in food chains and wider ecosystems.Gergana Daskalova, of the University of Edinburgh's School of GeoSciences,who led the study,said,"We often assume that declines in animal numbers are prevalent everywhere. But we found that there are also many species which have increased over the last half of a century, such as those which do well in human-transformed landscapes or those which are the focus of conservation actions.Dr. Isla Myers-Smith, also of the School of GeoSciences, who co-authored the study, said, "Only as we bring together data from around the world, can we begin to really understand how global change is influencing the biodiversity of our planet."32.With the global temperature rising, what happens to the animals?
A.Rare animal species tend to decline.
B.Common animal species tend to increase.
C.Global warming is accelerating with the loss of animal species.
D.The population of common animals changes just like rare ones.
33.How did scientists carry out the study?
A.By analyzing existing information.
B.By studying animals' behavior.
C.By comparing different studies.
D.By recording the data of animals.
34.What does the underlined word "prevalent" in Paragraph 5 mean?
A.Sharp.    B.Common.     C.Steady.     D.Relative.
35.What is Dr. Isla Myers-Smith's attitude toward the study?
A.Objective.     B.Optimistic.     C.Subjective.     D.Pessimistic.  第二节（共5小题；每小题2分，满分10分）根据短文内容,从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。Top 5 Ways to Build a Wonderful LifeLive below your means(收入).We all want to buy that new piece of technology, or take out a loan(贷款) for the expensive car we can’t afford.
