2、    Is dark chocolate healthy? Yes,dark chocolate has compounds(化合物) that offer health benefits and can be enjoyed without guilt, even on a daily basis. But the amount matters, since too many bites can contribute to extra fat, sugar and calories and get rid of its health benefits.
Dark chocolate is rich in cocoa, which contains compounds known as flavanols(黄烷醇). At high levels, cocoa flavanols have been shown to help lower blood pressure and the risk of diabetes. Dark chocolate has the highest amount of cocoa flavanols: milk chocolate has lens, and white chocolate has none.
    But while cocoa flavanols in dark chocolate make it a healthful treat they give it a biter flavor. Producers may process chocolate to make it more delicious, but doing so can remove some of these beneficial compounds,said Matt Hartings, an American professor. In spite of this,dark chocolate is still a healthier choice than milk chocolate, which tends to have more sugar. Additionally, cocoa powder contains minerals. So you can enjoy a piece of dark chocolate even after a meal. Just keep the following in mind.
    First, buy chocolate that has at least 60% cocoa. "Generally speaking,the higher the percentage, the more flavanols. These higher-percentage chocolates have the added benefit over the lower percentages and milk and white chocolates because they contain less sugar and less fat,” Hartings said.
    Second, if possible, choose natural cocoa over Dutch processed cocoa, which is treated with an alkali(碱). This gives chocolate a milder flavor but removes healthful flavanols.
    And finally, to keep weight in check, limit to 30 grams of dark chocolate daily, or about 150 calories.
1.Dark chocolate is healthy mainly because of the existence of _______.
A.rich minerals
B.less sugar
C.cocoa flavanols

3、    When Columbus “sailed the ocean blue in 1492” he wasn't looking for America, he was searching for a route from Spain to China; America just got in the way.
    The Spanish were after the riches of Asia: silk, dates, spices. Until later adventures discovered how to sail to the Far East, trade with China depended on the Silk Road. The trade between China and Europe brought huge wealth, so the Spanish had a strong desire to find a new way lo the East. Eventually a way appeared; as sea traffic developed from the 17th century onwards, the overland route diminished.
    Now China is seeking to revive(复兴) the Silk Road and is preparing to invest 4 trillion pounds in new roads trail links, oil pipelines and other basic facilities. It is hoped that goods can be shipped westwards by land far more quickly and economically than by sea.
    But the plan is also to attract more tourists. Actually, China does pretty well for tourists already; it’s the world's fourth most visited country. Two cities Beijing and Shanghai possess the tourism business, with significant interest in destinations such as Xi'an and Chengdu. While Beijing is modern, cities such as Lanzhou and Dunhuang have one foot planted firmly in old China.
    Other places featured include Xi'an, the former capital of China, where you can come face to face with the Terracotta Army built to protect China's first emperor in the afterlife. From Lanzhou tour members take the train to Jiayuguan,China’s western gateway and a key location on the Silk Road.
    There is also a four-day coach journey along the original Silk Route through the Xinjiang region to Kashgar. Along the way,at Kurla,you can visit the ruins of the Iron Fortress.
1.What does the underlined word “diminished” in Paragraph 2 mean?
A.Discovered.
B.Disappeared.
C.Disturbed.
D.Displayed.
2.What is the purpose of reviving the Silk Road?
A.To rebuild the ruins of the Iron Fortress.
B.To construct new roads and other basic structures.
C.To make transportation westwards faster and cheaper.
D.To draw more inland tourists' attention to the western gateway.
3.What can we learn about the Silk Road?
A.It is nothing but a trade route.
B.It may destroy some cities' ancient style.
C.It attracts foreign investment of 4 trillion.
D.It promotes the tourism industry of China.
4.What is the best title for the text?
A.The Charming of the Silk Road
B.The Function of the Silk Road
C.The Origin of the Silk Road
D.The Future of the Silk Road

4、    Long before iphones, the cigarette was the companion of choice for restlessness. And long before Facebook and WeChat, it was tobacco that promised to better your social life. Now, quitting smartphones has become the new quitting smoking.
    Of course, technology does not yellow your teeth, cause disease or lead to cancer. But some individuals are so concerned that device addiction is damaging their mental health. In order to reduce their dependence, even in Silicon Valley, people are turning off the messages that constantly buzz for their attention, banning smartphones from the bedroom and, curiously, changing the colors on their screens to a less tempting scale of gray.
    The big tech companies will have to work out how to respond to this new generation of quitters. Facebook is the first to go public with its attempt, hoping its recent move can make the social network more homely.
    Last year the tech industry got a bad name—Big Tech—with unfortunate echoes(共鸣) of other industries that have faced fierce opposition, including Big Tobacco. Like them, the tech industry has to reduce concern from a new generation of activist shareholders(股东) that are questioning its role in the world. These campaigns are never as fierce as those faced by Big Tobacco. In the 1990s, socially responsible investors refused to put money in tobacco stocks.
    It is far difficult for investors to challenge Big Tech and hard to separate the good these companies do in the world—connecting old friends and giving space for people to share their ideas—from the bad. In the meantime, stopping using technology remains problematic. In The World Without Mind: The Existential Threat of Big Tech, Franklin Foer argues that tech should be seen in a similar way to junk food: a convenience that some reject for more continuing nutrition.
    So we need to do more to turn the tide. In the same way that public service announcements made smoking around your children taboo(禁忌),we can warn parents against losing themselves in their smartphones while taking care of kids.We can also create no-smartphone zones at dinner. Eventually smartphones could be banned from all public places and help us give our attention to the people around us instead.
1.How did people keep close relationships with others in the past?
A.By smoking.
B.By drinking.
C.By phoning
D.By dining out.
2.Why is the tech industry called Big Tech?
A.It plays a bad role in the world.
B.It is as big as Big Tobacco.
C.It has an unfortunate name.
D.It is a giant in Silicon Valley.
3.What can we infer from Franklin Foer’s argument about the tech?
A.It promotes social development.
B.It is still favored by some people.
C.It is worse than Big Tobacco.
D.It offers continuing nutrition.
4.Which can be the best title for the passage?
A.Creating a No Smartphone Life
B.Smartphones Enrich Our Social Life
C.Smoking Does Greater Harm Than Smartphones Do
D.Quitting Smartphones Is the New Quitting Smoking  

5、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。
    Secret codes (密码) keep messages private. Banks, companies, and government agencies use secret codes in doing business, especially when information is sent by computer.
    People have used secret codes for thousands of years. ①__________Code breaking never lags (落后) far behind code making. The science of creating and reading coded messages is called cryptography. 
    There are three main types of cryptography. ②__________For example, the first letters of “My elephant eats too many eels” Spell out the hidden message “Meet me.”
    ③__________You might represent each letter with a number, For example, Let’s number the letters of the alphabet, in order, from 1 to 26. If we substitute a number for each letter, the message “Meet me” would read “13520135”.
    A code uses symbols to replace words, phrases, or sentences. To read the message of a real code, you must have a code book. ④__________For example “bridge“ might stand for “meet” and “out” might stand for “me” .The message “bridge out” would actually mean “Meet me”. ⑤__________However, it is also hard to keep a code book secret for long. So codes must be changed frequently.
A. It is very hard to break a code without the code book.
B. In any language, some letters are used more than others.
C. Only people who know the keyword can read the message.
D. As long as there have been codes, people have tried to break them.
E. You can hide a message by having the first letters of each word spell it out.
F. With a code book, you might write down words that would stand for other words.
G. Another way to hide a message is to use symbols to stand for specific letters of the alphabet.

His resignation, though, ⑦__________( reject) by the UK prime minister.
    So, how late is too late? Many cultures take punctuality very seriously. In contrast, others seem to view tardiness ⑧__________just the normal way of things. What is considered acceptable is based on culture. That is, if you don’t mind waiting, it might be best to attend your ⑨__________(appoint)in good time. And if the worst comes to the worst, remember the old English proverb, "⑩__________(well) late than never.”

3答案及解析：
答案：1.B; 2.C; 3.D; 4.A
解析：1.词义猜测题。由第三段第一句“ Now China is seeking to revive(复兴) the Silk road" 可知,现在中国正在寻求重现丝绸之路的光彩,因此推断画线句句意:最终一条路出现于17世纪之后海上交通开发,陆路消失了。所以画线词词义是:消失,与disappear意义相近。故B选项正确。
2.细节理解题。根据第三段最后一句“It is hoped that goods can be shipped westwards by land far more quickly and economically than by sea. ”可知,中国重现丝调之路是希望通过陆路可以比海路更快、更经济地将商品输送至西方。故C选项正确。

5答案及解析：
答案：D; E; G; F; A
解析：本文是一篇说明文,主要介绍了密码的设置和破解的方法。比如利用该字母在字母表中排序的数字来代表该字母,或者利用一些单词的首字母来组成一个密码等。
①考查对上下文的理解和判断能力。后句内容可以判断该空应该和密码的破译有关,故判断D项内容 As long as there have been codes, people have tried to break them.符合语境逻辑,可以承接上下文。
②考查对上下文的理解和判断能力。后面举的例子是来证明人们设置密码时往往会利用一些单词的第一个字母来作为密码,由此判断E选项内容符合语境逻辑。
③考查对上下文的理解和判断能力。根据后面的解释内容可以判断这是介绍密码设置的又一种方法,故G选项内容Another way to hide a message is to use symbols to stand for specific letters of the alphabet.符合语境。
④考查对上下文的理解和判断能力。根据后面的举例以及前句中的 a code book可以判断该句是介绍密码书的使用,故判断F选项 With a code book, you might write down words that would stand for other words.可以起到承上启下的作用。
⑤考查对上下文的理解和判断能力。根据空后内容的转折可知尽管利用密码书可以破译密码,但是一本密码书也不会使用很久的时间,故判断A选项 It is very hard to break a code without the code book.符合语境。
【归纳总结】七选五阅读填空考查考生对文章的整体内容和结构以及上下文逻辑意义的理解和掌握。解题技巧如下:1.注重句式的对接,比如排比句,祈使句等。2. 注重词汇的衔接:也就是利用上下文所重复的关键词,即词的复现原则进行判断,其中包括同义词,原词和反义词的复现。3.注重举例或解释等。如2题和4题只需要利用for example来进行解题。

2.由常识以及文中的今昔对比可知,指南针、火药、 造纸和印刷术是中国“古代的”四大发明。
3.根据常识可知,中国古代的四大发明是指南针、 火药、造纸和“印刷术”。
4.so-called意为“被称为……的”,即被号称为“新四大发明”。
5.be based on意为"以……为基础" 中国的“新四大发明”是“基于”去年"丝绸之路研究院”的研究。
6.这项研究是由"丝绸之路研究院”“实施”的。 conduct可表示“进行,实施”。
7.“挑选”出想让自己国家应用的中国“新四大发明”。pick“挑选”符合文意。

7答案及解析：
答案：while; were; what; scheduled; to make; the; was rejected; as; appointment(s); Better
解析：
1. 考查连词。该空的前一句说“我们中的一些人擅长提前计划和做事情”,后一句说“其他的人总是试图在最后一刻赶时间做事情”,两句话之间是对比关系,所以这里应该填连词while。
2. 考査虚拟语气。本句是if引导的条件状语从句,即非真实条件句。表示的是假设或实际可能性不大的甚至完全不可能发生的情况,故采用虚拟语气。句意:如果你上班迟到一分钟,你会辞职吗?表示与将来事实相反,所以采用“if+主语 +动词一般过去式”的结构,所以这里be动词改为were。
3. 考査连接代词。本句是表语从句,从句中缺少的成分是主语,这里的主语指代的是事情,所以用what。
4. 考查形容词。在冠词a和名词question之间应该用形容词, 所以把schedule变成形容词形式scheduled(预定的)。
5. 考查动词不定式。固定搭配 try to do sth(试图干某事),所以这里填to make。
6. 考査定冠词。固定短语on the spot(在现场)。句意:他并没有像许多人那样,试图弥补失去的时间,而是当场辞职。所以这里应该填冠词the。
7. 考查时态和语态。根据本段时态和句意可知,主语 resignation和reject为动宾关系,故用过去时的被动形式。句意:尽管他的辞呈被英国首相拒绝了。故用was rejected。
8.考查介词。固定搭配 view…as…把......看作......。句意:相比之下,其他人似乎认为迟到是正常的事情。所以这里填 as。
9.考查名词。形容词性物主代词后面应该跟名词。句意:如果你不介意等的话,最好在合适的时间去参加你的约会。所以这里填appointment(s)。
10.考查副词比较级。英语谚语“Better late than never”(迟做总比不做好),所以这里应该填Better。

8答案及解析：
答案：    My mum is a volunteer in a hospital. She dinner every Sunday to the people attending  their relatives who are in hospital.
   One Sunday, Mum asked me to help her with dinner. At the first, I didn’t want to,  in the end she persuaded me to go. Half an hour  ,we arrived. We quickly setup a table and started giving people food. The people  there were deeply moved and showed  gratefulness. It was  to look at people’s , especially those of children. It made me feel  for being there.
  That day I realized that the value of life is not only about receiving, but giving as well.
解析：
1. 句意:她每周日都给照顾生病住院的亲人送饭。根据上下文含义及句中的时间状语every Sunday,可以确定此处用一般现在时态。故把brought改为brings。
2. 句意:她毎周日都给照頋生病住院的亲人送饭。固定搭配: attend to照顾。故在attending后加to。
3. 句意:起初,我不想去。固定搭配:at first起初。故把the去掉。
4. 句意:但最终她劝服我去。根据句意,前后为转折关系,所以用but。故把so改为but。
5. 句意:一个小时后,我们到了。固定搭配:一段时间+later, 表示一段时间以后。故把late改为later。
6. 句意:在那里服侍的人深受感动。serve和被修饰词the people之间是被动关系,故用过去分词作定语。故把serving改为served。
7. 句意:并表示他们的感谢。根据句意应该用their指代前面的the people。故把our改为their。
8. 句意:看着人们的脸,尤其是看着孩子们的验,这让人很惊讶。It作形式主语,真正的主语是动词不定式。amazing令人惊讶的。
9. “人们的脸”应该用the people’s faces。故把face改为faces。
10. feel为系动词,后面用形容词作表语。句意:我很高兴能在那里。故把gladly改为glad。
