Quick,what's seven times seven plus ten?If you can tell Ahem "Medy" Alwan, a cashier at Lucky Candy bodega in the Bronx,you could get all the snacks your heart desires. For the past couple weeks,the 20-year-old has been quizzing customers on basic math equations. When a customer gets one right,they get five(well,more like ten) seconds to grab whatever they want in the deli.
For Ahmed"Medy"Alwan,23,joy is as essential as breakfast—and customers at his family's corner store sometimes struggle for both. So he came up with a clever way to brighten his customers' days."I've always helped out people in the neighborhood,"he says."They've known me since I was a little kid. I know half of them by name. And, you know, sometimes they need credit.”
Lucky Candy is located on a busy street in the Bronx,which is what's known as a food desert, where affordable,healthy food is scarce. Many residents rely on neighborhood shops like Lucky Candy for their daily needs.
Enter the bodega challenge on the social media. Whenever a resident gets an answer right, one of two things usually happens. Some kids dart for the candy, and who could blame them? Others grab things like rice, oranges, and potatoes, clearly thinking of the family at home.
“They're doing something good,”Berto, a student who stopped in after school, told Inside Edition.“Because here,we see a lot of people who don't even have anything.”
Alwan covers the sprees with his paycheck. But his boss,as known as his father,Saleh Aobad, doesn't mind chipping in too. A Yemeni immigrant, Aobad knows that in one of the toughest, most competitive places inthe U.S.,a bit of help goes a long way.
“This changed our relationship with the community big-time,” says Alwan.“They're showing so much love,and they're lining up at the store for a chance to play."
24、What inspired Ahmed “Medy” Alwan to come up with the bodega challenge?
A.His love for math. B.His kindness and generosity.
C.His passion for healthy food. D.His interest in food deserts.
25、Why do the residents in the Bronx neighborhood rely on shops like Lucky Candy?
A.For their daily math challenges. B.For family groceries.
C.For organizing community events. D.For providing credit services.
26、Who usually participates in the bodega challenge at Lucky Candy?
A.Adults from the neighborhood. B.Students who perform well in mathematics.
C.Customers needing food for families. D.Candy enthusiasts.
27、How has the bodega challenge impacted Ahmed Alwan's relationship with the community?
A.It has created competition among community members.
B.It has strained his relationship with his father.
C.It has increased affection and support from the community.
D. It has led to financial difficulties for the store.
You drink diet soda enjoying the sweet taste without the guilt of calories. But scientists have long suspected a link between artificial sweeteners（甜味剂）and obesity in humans. A new study suggests that artificial sweeteners may not be as harmless as once thought. They may not only disturb the microbes（微生物）living in the bodies of humans， but some may even increase the risk of weight gain.
Every human hosts a unique group of microbes. The number of cells that make up this vast community,called microbiome,is extremely large in the human body. It not only helps digestion but also protects against diseases. The disturbance to the microbiome occurs because artificial sweeteners,although there are zero calories for humans,serve as nutrients for some microbes, which then increase rapidly. This causes an imbalance in microbial populations that can lead to diseases.
In the study,scientists first chose 1,375 volunteers to see if they consumed artificial sweeteners in their daily lives. Then, they identified 120 volunteers who were not previously exposed to artificial sweeteners and gave them one of the four commonly used sweeteners—saccharin,sucralose,aspartame,and stevia for two weeks. After that, to test how artificial sweeteners affect the body's ability to control the sudden increase of blood sugar after consuming sugar as part of meals, volunteers were monitored for blood sugar levels after a test.
The study showed that sucralose and saccharin pushed the body towards blood sugar intolerance,which,if sustained,can cause weight gain. However, aspartame and stevia did not affect blood sugar tolerance at the tested levels.“The study is the first to show that the human microbiome responds to artificial sweeteners.It's also a convincing study to show how these sweeteners really are affecting the human body,"says Michael Goran,a professor at Children's Hospital Los Angeles.
"This study provides evidence of both short-term harmful effects and long-term negative effects caused by artificial sweeteners,”David Katz, a nutrition specialist, says.“That does not mean artificial sweeteners should be replaced with sugar. Rather, alternative approaches to reducing sugar intake should be considered.”
28、What is the main finding in the new study?
A.People can drink diet soda without any limits.
B.The microbes are of great importance to human beings.
C.Artificial sweeteners bring negative impacts on humans.
D.Drinking too much soda is the main cause of obesity.
29、How do sweeteners disturb the microbiome?
A.It probably destroys the function of digestion.
B.It usually causes a rapid loss of healthy cells.
C.It sometimes feeds harmful bacteria in the body.
D.It often leads to a sharp growth of certain microbes.
30、Which aspect of the experiment is talked about in Paragraph 3?
A.Its results. B.Its process. C.Its background. D.Its subjects.
31、What can be inferred from David Katz's advice?
A.Sugar can never be replaced by artificial sweetness.
B.Factories producing sugary drinks need to take more responsibilities.
C.Artificial sweeteners should be banned.
D. Other ways to limit sugar intake need to be discovered.
Lawmakers in New Jersey recently advanced a bill that would ban businesses from going cashless—a move that would make the state different from the global trend toward electronic payments but would strengthen resistance from local officials who see no-cash policies as unfair.
Almost l of 3 Americans in 2018 say they don't use cash during a typical week of purchases, according to a Pew Research Center study released this week. The findings reveal that Americans are becoming less reliant on paper currency,which occurs similarly in Sweden,India and China.
But state and local officials say that restaurants and shops that adopt cashless policies have left some members of the community behind—individuals without the means to open a bank account or who lack access to lines of credit or the mobile apps that power digital payments.
The New Jersey measure,which would apply only to face-to-face sales and would exclude Internet and phone purchases,comes as officials push similar efforts to bar no-cash rules in New York,Philadelphia and the District.
While cashless policies offer consumers the promise of convenience and provide businesses greater protection against theft and dishonest record-keeping,they also can shut out low-income consumers or undocumented immigrants,critics say.
"Cash-free businesses are unfair by design and pose challenges to low-income communities that may not have access to credit/debit,”New York City Council member Ritchie Torres said on Twitter last month when he introduced a bill that would ban the practice.
According to the Pew study,the decline in the use of physical currency is not following a regular pattern among the population when race,age and income are accounted for.Pew found a significant gap in cashless adoption tied to annual household income, with adults making at least $75,000 more than twice as likely to make all their purchases without using cash in a typical week, compared with people who make less than $ 30,000.
The Pew findings suggest that the benefits of going cashless may come with a cost that only some groups of people will bear. Americans with lower incomes are roughly four times as likely than higher earners to make all or almost all of their purchases with cash,according to the study.
As CNBC has noted, business leaders have defended cashless policies by pointing to higher security and improved customer service and efficiency, even as they acknowledge their critics. Some advocates have focused on providing people who are underserved by the traditional banking system with more affordable options,attacking the root cause behind the criticisms of cashless payments.
32、What may be the global trend towards electronic payments?
A.Countries in the world are banning digital payments in their own ways.
B. Most countries are experiencing the increasing digitalization of payments.
C.Most countries are proposing measures to discourage cashless policies.
D.Most countries are actively promoting the circulation of physical currencies.
33、What kinds of people are considered to be possibly left behind by no-cash policies?
A.People who refuse to open a bank account.
B.People who are against electronic payments.
C.People who don't have access to financial institutions.
D.People who are unable to use mobile apps related to digital payments.
34、What does the word “bar” in Paragraph 4 mean?
A.Promote. B.Strengthen. C.Stop. D.Adopt.
35、Which can be a suitable title for the text？
A.Cashless Policies Do Harm to Economy
B.Digital Payment： a Terrible Choice？
C.Higher Salary,More Electronic Payments
D.Cash-Free Policy:Not a Perfect Choice for Everyone
三、七选五
36、To be a great reader,it is not enough that you read. It's also how you read. The following strategies guarantee that you'll not only be a better reader but a better person too.
Stop reading books you aren't enjoying. If you find yourself wanting to speed up the reading process on a particular book,you might want to ask yourself,"Is this book any good?" ①______ My rule is 100 pages minus your age—so if you're 30years old and a book hasn't attracted you by page 70,stop reading it.
②______ You were young when you read The(Great Gatsby for the first time. You were just a kid when someone told you the story of Odysseus. You've already read them or learned about them,so you're done,right? ③______ It's why we have to read and reread. Because the world is constantly changing and we are constantly changing,therefore what we get out of books can also change.
Ask people you admire for book recommendations. If we encounter a man of rare intellect, we should ask him what books he reads. ④______ Every time I met a successful or important person I admired,I would ask them,"What's a book that changed your life?”And then I would read that book. If a book changed someone's life—whatever the topic or style—it's probably worth the investment. If it changed them, then it will likely at least help you,
⑤______ The path to wisdom is not a straight one. The journey is long with ups and downs, highs and lows. Maybe you're in the middle of a low right now. This can be a scary place to be, because it can feel like you'll be stuck there forever. A reading slump always pops up for me, for instance,during a book launch when it's nearly impossible for me to concentrate enough to read. But I've found I'm able to get out of it by rereading something that has really spoken to me in the past.
A.Get out of depression.
B.Reread the masters.
C.Provide some interesting books.
D.Life is too short to read books you don't enjoy reading.
E.We surely forget the content of the classics.
F.When I was a teenager,I got in the habit of doing this.
G.We can't be content to simply pick up a book once and judge it by that experience.

He looked under his books, hoping to find some money but there was nothing.
Not knowing what to do, he walked out of the classroom and sat on a bench in front of the canteen. He saw a few of his classmates there,among whom was Fahad. He was one of the richest kids in his class, but he was a very arrogant boy who thought everyone else was a loser. But as Asad was new,he didn't know much about Fahad.
When he went towards Fahad and asked if he could borrow some money for his lunch,Fahad laughed a lot and said,"I knew you were a loser, maybe a beggar?”Fahad laughed out so loud that other kids also heard it and made fun of the situation. He didn't answer Fahad, and slowly walked back towards an empty bench.
When he reached the bench,he noticed something lying near it. It was a wallet. He picked it up and recognized it as Fahad's,as he remembered Fahad showing it to his friends and telling them that his uncle had bought it for him from the UK. There was quite a lot of money inside for a kid.

20、答案：A
解析：Good evening,everyone. Welcome to our program. Today,I'd like to share the story about Muhammad Ali. Maybe you have known about him from history lessons or movies. But I believe most of our audience are too young to have watched him compete as a professional boxer. Even if you've never watched boxing or never heard of him,there is much to admire about this athlete's life.
Ali was born in 1942. When he was four years old, he said to his mom that he wanted to be the world champion. In 1964, he defeated Sonny Liston in a fight for the heavyweight championship of the world,successfully becoming the world champion. This is when I first learned about him. It was his passion for what he was doing that inspired me, rather than his skills or his confidence. He once said,“Don't count the days. Make the days count.”His coach said that he was always the first to come and the last to leave during practice.
Ali retired from boxing in 1981 and then devoted his life to world peace. That earned him the support of many countries, from world leaders to ordinary people.

⑤联系下文题。根据下文The path to wisdom is not a straight one.The journey is long with ups and downs，highs and lows.（通往智慧的道路不是笔直的。旅程是漫长的，有起有落，有高有低）且后文提到This can be a scary place to be，because it can feel like you'll be stuck there forever.（这可能是一个可怕的地方，因为你可能会觉得自己永远被困在那里）可知，增长智慧的道路是曲折的，但不应该沉迷在低谷中，有起有落才是常态。由此可知，A项"摆脱抑郁"适合作本段主题句，引起下文内容。故选A。

54、答案：
At first Asad wanted to keep it a secret and punish Fahad.However,it was not easy. He felt his cheeks blushing and a sense of guilt rising inside of him. Glancing first at Fahad,who was still chatting happily,and then at the wallet in his hand,Asad finally made up his mind. He got up and went straight to Fahad and his group. Upon seeing Asad approach him,Fahad said,“Hey loser!Are you okay? Still want money?""No,"replied Asad,"I've just come to return your wallet which you dropped over there.”Fahad stood shocked for a second. All his friends were silent too.
Then Fahad asked,“Why are you giving it back?”“Because I was told by my family that honesty won't let you down." Asad explained. Fahad avoided Asad's shining eyes. What followed was an awkwardly long silence, which was eventually broken by Asad's stomach growling loudly. Surprisingly, the arrogant boy reached out his hand and asked,"What about having lunch together?"Before Asad could say anything,Fahad quickly added,"Of course,my treat."It was on that very day that Asad made his first friend in the new school,and he truly recognized the value of sincerity and honesty in a relationship.
