You don’t need to remove certain kinds of foods from your diet, but rather select the healthiest ones.ProteinProtein gives us the energy to get up and go — and keep going — while also supporting mood and cognitive function (认知功能). Too much protein can be harmful to people with kidney disease, but the latest research suggests that many of us need more high-quality protein, especially as we age. That doesn’t mean you have to eat more animal products — a variety of plant-based sources of protein each day can ensure your body gets all the necessary protein it needs.Fat Not all fat is the same. While bad fat can destroy your diet and increase the possibility of certain diseases, good fat protects your brain and heart. In fact, healthy fat — such as omega-3s —is necessary to your physical and emotional health. Understanding how to include more healthy fat in your diet can help improve your mood and your well-beings.FiberEating foods high in dietary fiber (grain, fruit, vegetables, nuts, and beans) can help you stay regular and lower the possibility of heart disease, strokes, and diabetes. It can also improve your skin and even help you to lose weight; Depending on your age and gender, experts suggest you eat at least 21 to 38 grams of fiber each day.Calcium（钙）Your body uses calcium to build healthy bones and teeth, keep them strong, send messages through the nervous system, and control the heart’s rhythm. Not getting enough calcium in your diet can also lead to anxiety, depression, and sleep difficulties. Whatever your age or gender, it’s necessary to include calcium-rich foods in your diet.21.What can we know about protein from the second paragraph?The animal products provide more protein.We should have less protein when we get older.Protein can improve a person’s mood.We should have as much protein as possible. 22. Which is one benefit of foods in high fiber?They provide more energy. They help improve the skin.They help build healthy teeth.D. They are good for eyesight. 23. What’s the effect of shortage of calcium?A. People may have trouble with sleep.B. People may become older easily.C. People may have the risk of kidney disease. D. People may gain weight quickly in a short time. BThe average American family will spend somewhere around $637 on back-to-school supplies for each elementary school child this year and twice that for a high school student. Add to that the fact that both children and parents feel anxious about the transition (过渡) of going back to school at the end of summer. For this, Jermaine Smith of Cleveland and four other barbers decided to cut hair for about 40 kids and teens for free last Saturday.In fact, Smith has been giving back to the community in other ways long before this weekend. He cuts hair by day, but in the evenings, after bringing his daughter home from school, he goes to work as a police officer.“A lot of parents bring their kids to me for haircuts because I’m a police officer. They trust me because they think that I teach kids to do the right things in the barber shop. I always tell young men that they always get to stay neat and attractive, and people tend to treat them with respect,” Smith says. “When you get your hair cut, you look good and feel good.”Maybe a service that would only cost $15 regularly seems like just a drop in the bucket, but child and teen psychologist Dr. Barbara Greenberg sees this as more than just a one-time free service. Other free haircut and school supply events have appeared unexpectedly all across the country this month, as organizers have recognized how much parents can use this extra help.Greenberg says, “One of the ways to make a transition easier is to make it fun and introduce something new or unusual, so the whole idea of getting a haircut makes kids feel special and important.” The haircuts were just part of the Start School on the Right Foot event, which also handed out about 50 backpacks full of school supplies.24. Why did Jermaine Smith and other barbers cut hair for kids?A. To improve the community service.B. To prepare children for the competition.C. To help children and parents reduce anxiety.D. To provide back-to-school supplies for children. 25. Which of the following can best describe Jermaine Smith?A. Honest and generous.  B. Creative and friendly.C. Grateful and thoughtful. D. Reliable and responsible. 26. What does Jermaine Smith want young people to do?A. Form a healthy lifestyle.B. Treat people with respect.C. Get along well with others.D. Leave a good impression on people. 27.What is Dr. Barbara Greenberg glad to see?More parents are willing to work together.More people take action to help kids in school.People amuse the little kids in school regularly.D. People try to make kids feel special and important. CMore than a third of Americans don’t get enough sleep. That may not seem like a big deal, but being short of sleep ― even by just an hour can have serious effects on your health, and the  economy (经济).Every year, not getting enough sleep costs the U.S. economy up to $411 billion, according to a new report from the not-for-profit research group RAND Europe.The researchers wanted to look at how shortened sleep ― which means getting a sleep of less than 7 hours a night ― affects the economy of five different countries: the U.S., the UK, Germany, Japan and Canada. With survey results from the National Sleep Foundation, they found three effects: death, since lack (缺乏) of sleep has been connected to about half of the leading causes of death in the U.S.; low productivity (生产力), since sleepy workers are less productive and more likely not to show up; and poor development skills, which affect lifetime earnings.“How would those countries look if the number of people who sleep less than a certain amount of time actually improved?” wondered Marco Hafner, a research leader at RAND Europe and the report’s main author.The U.S. loses the most from its sleepy people. The researchers said that workers with shortened sleep cost the country’s economy about $411 billion a year, about 2% of the GDP. Japan was the second most affected losing about the same of its GDP followed by Germany and the UK. Canada had the best sleepers, but still lost 1.4% of its GDP to lack of sleep. The study authors also found marked health effects from lack of sleep. Sleeping about six hours a night is connected to a 7% higher risk of death, and sleeping less than six hours is connected to a 13% higher risk. “It’s not a small problem,” Hafner says. “It seems to be not only a public health problem, but also an economic problem.”28. How much does lack of sleep probably cost the American economy every month on average?A. More than $411 billion.B. Less than $411 thousand.C. About $35 billion.D. About $35 thousand. 29. What effect is not mentioned when workers are short of sleep according to Paragraph 3?A. It may affect the health of the workers.B. It may affect the income of the workers.C. It may affect the education of the workers.D. It may affect the productivity of the workers. 30. What can we know from Paragraph 5?A. The UK loses the least in economy.B. Japan loses the most because of its sleepy people.C. Lack of sleep has become an important economic problem.D. Lack of sleep in workers has not produced noticeable effects. 31. Where can we find this text most probably?A. In a dictionary.B. In an economic magazine.C. In a guidebook.D. In a storybook.
 DAfter bikes and umbrellas are made sharable across China, some companies started eyeing the fitness market, so shared gym rooms have hit the streets in Beijing.Unlike regular gyms that provide large, open spaces for many members to share at the same time, the newly built shared gym rooms are small, stand-alone rooms for a person to use, often set up near living communities.Every four-square-meter room is equipped with a treadmill (跑步机), an air cleaner, a mirror, a television and an air conditioner, and users can let down the curtains for privacy. When exercising, users can listen to music, watch movies and check emails by connecting to the Internet by the screen fixed on the treadmill. There’s no shower or washbasin.Similar to using a shared bike, users can locate a shared gym room by smartphone application, book a room in advance and then need to scan (扫描) a QR code for use. A refundable deposit (保证金) of 99 yuan is required, and users are charged 0.2 yuan per minute.The shared gym rooms are created by Misspao, a Beijing-based technology company founded in July. Within two weeks since it was founded, the company has already got two rounds of funding valued over 100 million yuan, Yicai Global reports. The idea of the shared fitness experience is not entirely nascent. Last December, the Shanghai-based technology company VRUN set up shared treadmills in office and apartment buildings.The sharing economy is still becoming popular in China. According to Yicai Global, confident investors are pouring millions into sharing start-ups. In March, the State Information Center published a report which predicts that the total value of China’s sharing economy will see a yearly growth of 40% in the coming years, and it is expected to contribute around 10% to the country’s GDP by 2020.32. What makes the shared gym room different from the regular one?A. Offering open spaces.B. Standing in the living zone.C. Holding one person at a time.D. Having some advanced equipment. 33. What can we learn about the shared gym room from the text?A. Users can have a shower in it after exercise.B. Users who want to use it need a smartphone.C. Users who use it first need to pay for 99.2 yuan.D. Users’ privacy can’t be protected while they are exercising. 34. What does the underlined word “nascent” probably mean in Paragraph 5?A. Simple.   B. Popular.   C. Satisfying.   D. New. 35. What is the author’s purpose of writing the text?A. To introduce shared gym rooms.B. To advertise a technology company.C. To predict the future of the sharing economy.D. To persuade people to support the sharing economy.  第二节  （共5小题；每小题2.5分，满分12.5分）根据下面短文，从短文后的选项中选出可以填人空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。How to Speak in Meetings Making your voice heard is one way to gain respect in your school or workplace.

But being honest should always be with us, as honesty is always regarded as a virtue. Every time I talk about the topic, something crowds in my mind as if it had just happened.I was 16 when one morning, Dad told me I could drive him to Mijas and then take the car in a nearby garage to get it serviced. At that time, I had just passed the driving test, and I hardly had a chance to use the car, so I said yes without hesitation.I drove my father to Mijas, promising to pick him up again at 4 pm, then I went to a nearby garage, and put the car in there. Since I had several hours to spare, I decided to go to a movie theater near the garage to see the movie. However, I was so absorbed in the plot of the movie that I forgot the time. When the last movie finished, I looked at my watch: 6 pm. I was two hours late!I thought my father would be very angry if he knew what I was doing. And he would never let me drive again. So I decided to make up an excuse. Then, I drove to the appointed place, my father was sitting in a corner, waiting patiently. I first apologized for being late, then told him that I wanted to get there as soon as possible, but that something was wrong with some of the main parts of the car.I would never forget the way he looked at me. “I’m very disappointed that you thought you had to lie to me, Jason.” My father looked at me again and said, “When you didn’t show up on time, I called the gas station and asked if there was anything wrong They told me you never picked up the car. So, you see, I know there’s nothing wrong with the car at all." Paragraph 1:A wave of guilt swept over me and I had to admit the fact that I had gone to the movies and that was the real reason why I was late. _____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ ______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________  Paragraph 2:“But father, it’s exactly eighteen miles home from here , and it’s dark. You can’t walk back.” I begged. ______________________________________________________________________ _____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
