【推荐1】①What is the worst disease in the world? Many people might say it is cancer. Cancer will kill about 9.6 million people in the world this year, according to WHO. Scientists have been working to find ways to beat cancer. A lot of progress has been made in this field.

②James P Allison from the US and Japanese researcher Tasuku Honjo discovered a new cancer treatment that helped them win the 2018 Nobel Prize in Medicine in October. The new treatment can help people effectively(有效地)fight cancer cells(细胞). It is hoped that this treatment can be used to treat most cancers in the future.

③This is not the only recent improvement in cancer treatment. In November, the US approved a new cancer drug called Vitrakvi. Instead of being effective only for treating specific types of cancer, this drug can be used to treat 17 different kinds of cancer, USA Today reported.

④Finding cancer as early as possible is the best way to beat it. To check people for cancer, doctors must collect tissue(组织)from a patient’s turmor(肿瘤), Australian scientists developed a simple cancer test that can detect cancer in a patient’s blood. The test takes less than 10 minutes and it is about 90 percent accurate(准确).

⑤With all of these treatments, cancer can be effectively controlled. Honjo believes most kinds of cancer will become treatable by 2050. “Even if we cannot completely eliminate the turmor, we can still live while still having part of a turmor.” Honjo added.

【推荐3】In England, people can go to the nearby hospital to see a doctor when they are ill. The doctor usually asks about their problems or illness, and then he or she will give them a prescription (处方) for some medicine.

Not all people go to see a doctor when they feel sick. For example, when they only have a cold, they don’t go to see their doctors. They only go to the medicine shop to buy some medicine.

When people are badly ill, the doctor will go to their houses. In an emergency (紧急情况) people can call 999 for an ambulance. The ambulance can take them to the hospital very soon. When they are in hospital, their friends or family members can go to see them at a certain time, but they can’t stay long.

Usually people have to pay for the doctors’ prescriptions. And the price is the same for any kind of medicine. But when children, students, old people or people without jobs go to see their doctors, they don’t have to pay for their prescriptions.

【推荐1】Walk or drive to work? Which way is lower in carbon? To be friendly to the environment, you may choose to walk. Have you ever tried to live a low-carbon life through your diet?

A new study from the University of Oxford has looked into the health and environmental influences of 15 foods common in western diets. Among these, plant-based foods included fruits, vegetables, nuts and potatoes. It also studied animal-based foods, including red meat, chicken, milk products, eggs and fish.

According to the study’s lead researcher, Michael Clark, “Choosing better and greener diets is one of the main ways people can improve their health and protect the environment.” That is to say, plant-based diets are much healthier for us and kinder to the environment.

To get this result, researchers compared the influence of eating another portion (一份) of each food with the increased risk of a few illnesses. They also find out the environmental harm for each animal-based food and each plant-based food.

By using this method, the study found that red meats were the most unfriendly foods to the environment. Keeping farm animals produces a large number of methane (甲烷) that keeps 30 times more heat than CO₂. As well as making the earth warmer, eating too much red meat is known to increase the risk of a few illnesses, such as heart trouble.

Plant-based diets can give us the same health benefits (好处) in a much greener way. According to the study, without eating or using meat and milk products, global farmland use could be cut down by more than 75% and still feed the world.

Speaking to the Guardian, Tim Benton of Chatham House said, “If we can give peopled reasonable official advice of what a healthy and green diet is, the world and its people would be in a much better place.”

1. What’s the purpose of Paragraph 1?

A．To give an example.	B．To introduce the topic.
C．To make a comparison.	D．To summarize the main idea.

2. Which one is animal-based food?

A．

B．

C．

D．

3. What’s the result of this study?

A．Many people choose to walk to work.

B．Plant-based diets are healthier and greener.

C．The more we eat, the better the environment is.

D．15 foods common in western diets are not healthy.

4. What is the main idea of Paragraph 5?

A．The harm of CO2.	B．The risk of heart trouble.
C．A reason for keeping animals.	D．Two disadvantages of red meats.

5. What will this study probably be used for?

A．Teaching farmers to plant vegetables correctly.

B．Offering doctors new methods to treat patients.

C．Guiding people to lose weight by doing exercise.

【推荐2】Is the whale the world’s largest fish? No. It looks like a fish, but it is really a mammal(哺乳动物). Then what’s the world’s largest fish? It’s the whale shark(鲸鲨).

Although the whale shark is our biggest fish and lives in the ocean(海洋) around the world, few people have ever heard of it. Scientists have not been studying whale sharks for very long. Much more needs to be learned about them.A whale shark is sometimes called a “ gentle giant（温柔的巨人)”. It likes to be alone and doesn’t care a bit about divers or humans. The biggest whale shark weighs 24, 250 pounds and is nearly 40 feet long. This makes it heavier and longer than a school bus.

Inside its huge mouth are great numbers of very small teeth. To count all of them, you’ll need to do some math. The whale shark’s teeth are arranged in rows. There are between eleven and thirteen rows on each jaw(颌) and around three hundred teeth in each row.

However, the whale shark rarely uses its teeth. It does not chew or bite its food. Large amounts of water are pulled into its mouth and then pushed out through its gills(腮).

For a few months every year, a group of whale sharks comes to the Ningaloo Reef, off Western Australia. This gives scientists a wonderful chance to study the large fish.

Whale sharks do live in the ocean around the world, but no one knows their population. It is possible that our biggest fish may need protecting. It is one of the reasons why scientist continue to learn about these gentle giants.

1. Little is known about whale sharks because scientists ________.

A．are not interested in learning about them	B．find them too difficult to catch

【推荐2】You might not think much about where your garbage goes. But now you might want to know. On July 1, Shanghai had a new garbage sorting policy(垃圾分类政策). People there need to put different kinds of garbage into different bins. Other cities in China will do the same soon.

Why is garbage sorting a big problem? It’s because there is too much garbage these days. It is bad for our land, air and water. In fact, we can make use of some garbage again. And first, we need to sort(分类) our garbage. For example, if you put an old battery(电池) into the “harmful waste(有害垃圾)’’ bin, people can use it to make new batteries. But if you don’t, the battery will end up somewhere else. Then, it will be bad for the environment(环境).

Can’t factories sort garbage for us? Yes, they can. But it takes many workers to do this and needs lots of money. If we all sort our own garbage, things will become much easier.

【推荐3】Imagine a large open space with two teams running, throwing, passing and catching a disc, a thin flat round dish. It is called flying disc, the newest popular sport in young people in China. A research shows about 60% of people saying they like to make new friends through the sport. The Chinese Flying Disc Committee (委员会) says about 500,000 people in China played flying disc last year, producing over 8,000,000 yuan.
