2 . Many facts suggest that children are overweight and the situation is getting worse, according to the doctors. I feel there are a number of reasons for this.

Some people blame the fact that we are surrounded by shops selling unhealthy, fatty foods, such as fried chicken and ice cream, at low prices. This has turned out a whole generation of grown-ups who seldom cook a meal for themselves. If there were fewer of these restaurants, then probably children would buy less take-away food.

There is another argument that blames parents for allowing their children to become overweight. I agree with this, because good eating habits begin early in life, long before children start to visit fast food shops. If children are given fried chicken and chocolate rather than healthy food, or are always allowed to choose what they eat, they will go for sweet and salty foods every time, and this will carry on throughout their lives.

There is a third reason for this situation. Children these days take very little exercise. They do not walk to school. When they get home, they sit in front of the television or their computers and play computer games. Not only is this an unhealthy pastime （消遣）, it also gives them time to eat more unhealthy food. What they need is to go outside and play active games or sports.

The above are the main reasons for this problem, and therefore we have to encourage young people to be more active, as well as steering them away from fast food shops and bad eating habits.

1. According to the text, what kind of children may eat more unhealthy food?

A．Those who often do sports	B．Those who often walk to school
C．Those who often watch television	D．Those who often have meals at home

2. The author thinks that children are becoming overweight because ________.

A．their parents often cook meals for them

B．they are too busy to go out and play

C．they can't choose what to eat

D．there are too many fast food shops around

3. What does the underlined word "steering" in the last sentence most probably means?

C．driving	D．guiding.

4. The main purpose of the text is to ________.

3 . 阅读下面短文，在空白处填入1个适当的单词或括号内单词的正确形式。

According to a report released by the United Nations, there were 815 million undernourished（营养不良的）people in the world in 2016. Yet, 1.3 billion tons of food     1    （waste）every year around the world， which is about one-third of all food produced each year, according to the UN's Food and Agriculture Organization.

    2    （get）a better understanding of different countries’ food waste problems, the Economist Intelligence Unit recently surveyed 34 nations according to their food system sustainability（可持续性）. According to the report，France topped the list of food sustainability，followed by Japan and Germany.

The    3    （perform）of these countries is largely related to their policies to deal with food waste. For example，France was the first country to pass laws to ban（禁止）food waste. In France, it's illegal for supermarkets to throw away    4    （sell）food, and French restaurants must provide doggy bags for people's leftovers.

Germany is trying to deal with the problem by reforming expiration dates（到期日）. “We found in our study that many people believed they should throw away products    5    the `best before' date has expired,” Martin Kranert, chair of Stuttgart University's waste management department, told Deutsche Welle. “This is not at all case, and such a lack of knowledge is the first thing     6    has to change.”

Some countries are still falling behind when it comes to     7    （prevent）food waste, however. For example, the United Arab Emirates wastes the most food, with each of its citizens throwing away about 1,000 kilograms every year     8    average.

China has been working hard to reduce food waste. In early 2013, the country's Clean Your Plate Campaign started,     9    （encourage）people not to waste anything on their plate.

“If people are more aware of the amount of food waste they produce and everyone plays a role in reducing their personal food waste, we can do     10    （well）as a community,” Joyce Chan from the Foodlink Foundation, a Hong Kong charity dedicated to reducing food waste, told China Daily.

5 . Across the globe, we've developed a coffee addiction, and we've become addicted to single-use cups: 600 billion disposable cups are produced and sold annually. But there's a growing push to cut this down.

Here's the problem with disposable coffee cups: The thin, waxy, plastic coating inside makes it tricky to recycle or compost them. So, they most go into a landfill （垃圾填埋场）. More than that, it takes a lot of energy and resources to make them. Starbucks and McDonald's are trying to develop a disposable coffee cup that can be both recyclable and compostable. But that's easier said than done. The coffee giants have been dangling a million dollars to anybody who can crack the code.

The Rolling Stones are also thinking about the sustainable cups. If you see the Stones in concert this summer and go to get a drink, there may be no single-use plastic cup for you. The bands approached Michael Martin, who has produced a bunch of big Earth Day concerts, asking for help to eliminate plastic waste. He came up with a simple solution.

"When you come up to get your first beverage（饮料）, you put down a $3 deposit, you get a really high-quality Rolling Stones-branded cup," says Martin. "You use it throughout the night, and at the end of the event you can turn your cup in and get your $3 back or you can keep your cup." If you return the heavier plastic cup at the end of the show, it gets washed and used again. Or recycled.

But this idea — returning and reusing a cup — this is not that complicated. So why is this just being tried now? "That's a really good question," says Martin. "In America, we're a throwaway society, and so we're hoping we'll be able to wake people up and change things." He's starting with rock concerts because artists have a pretty powerful platform. I mean, if Mick Jagger tells his fans to stop abusing the planet, who's going to say no to that?

1. Why is there a growing push to cut single-use cups down?

A．Because too many people are coffee addicts.

B．Because disposable cups are hard to recycle and compost.

C．Because it takes a lot of energy and resources to recycle them.

D．Because Starbucks and McDonald's are dangling a million dollars.

2. What does the underlined phrase "crack the code" in Paragraph 2 mean?

A．develop a cup.	B．set up a recycling company.
C．find the password.	D．tackle the problem.

3. What can we infer from Martin's solution?

A．People will wash the cups at the end of the show.

B．People hand in the cup and get 3-dollar reward.

C．People can own the cup by paying 3 dollars.

D．People must pay 3 dollars and return the cup.

4. What can we learn from the last paragraph?

A．Artists have a great impact.

B．Martin is giving a rock concert.

C．Mick Jagger' fans are abusing the planet.

D．Mick Jagger' fans never disagree with him.

6 . A new report has concluded that advertising managers are becoming increasingly interested in children. Studies show that children influence about 50 percent of things that families buy, so they’re an attractive target for advertisers.

John Taylor, the author of the report, says:“Advertisers can reach their target in many ways. They can, for example, show an ad many times during school holidays, they can make the TV advertisements a little louder than the programmes to attract attention, or they can sponsor programmes and show their advertisements just before the programme begins.”

Most advertisements aimed at children are short, imaginative and often in the form of animated cartoons(动画片).“Children love the ads and watch them in the same way as any entertainment programmer,”Taylor says.

There’re concerns about advertising aimed at young people. The concerns are shared by Sarah Durham, a writer and journalist specializing in media analysis. “The most worrying thing is that children don’t think carefully when they see television advertisements. They’re less critical than adults and don’t usually realise the advertisement has a persuasive message, to encourage them or their parents to spend as much money as possible on the product or service,”she says.

There’re also concerns over the vast sums of money that junk food producers spend on advertising to persuade children to buy their food products. Many advertisements, argues Durham, sell food that is a lot higher in fat, salt and sugar than healthier alternatives. “Many companies target children with offers of free toys, models of cartoon characters and gimmicky（耍花招的）packaging.”

Government approaches to controlling advertising to children vary. In Sweden, one of the strictest countries where advertising is concerned, TV advertising to children under the age of 12 is banned. Greece bans television advertisements for children’s toys between 7 a.m. and 10 p.m. Denmark and the Netherlands also have legal controls whereas France, Britain and Germany prefer self-regulation（自动调节）．

Some countries are not as certain as the Swedes that advertising to children is harmful. The French argue that children need to see many advertisements so that they can develop their ability to think as they grow up. The belief is that advertising will help children to be more aware of its persuasive power.

1. What does John Taylor mainly talk about in Paragraph 2?

A．Ways in which advertisers reach children.

B．The time children spend watching television.

C．Examples of successful advertising to children.

D．The serious problems of advertising to children.

2. Why is Sarah Durham concerned about advertising aimed at children?

A．TV ads limit children’s imagination.

B．TV ads affect children’s brain development.

C．Children lack the good sense to make decisions.

D．Children may spend lots of time watching television.

3. What does Durham say about the food advertised?

A．It’s tasty.	B．It’s cheap.
C．It’s unhealthy.	D．It’s ready­made.

4. What is the French’s attitude toward advertising to children?

A．Doubtful.	B．Relaxed.
C．Objective.	D．Unfavorable.

7 . As the coronavirus outbreak continues, many Americans are fearful of using public transportation.They are also looking for ways to get exercise without going to a gym.So, it may not be surprising that the pandemic has led to a major increase in bicycle sales.

In the US, bicycles at big stores have sold out.And small bicycle stores cannot keep up with demand for “family-style” bicycles: the low-cost, easy-to-ride models.“The bicycle industry is seeing its biggest sales increase since the oil crisis of the 1970s,” said Jay Townley, an industry expert.He compared the sale of bicycles to the rush to buy products like toilet paper at the start of the pandemic.

The rise in bicycle sales is not happening just in the US. Italy has created bicycle paths for the growing number of people who want to avoid public transportation.In London, city officials plan to ban cars from some central roads.Bike shop owners in Manila say demand is even stronger than what they see at Christmas time.

Of course, you can only buy a bicycle if you can find one.In the US, the shortages now mean it may take many months to get a bicycle. High demand is not the only reason for the shortage. Many bicycle factories were shut down to stop the spread of COVID-19.The increase in bicycle demand began in March as countries began to close down.In April, the sale of bicycles increased 200 percent in the US.

Joe Minutolo is the co-owner of Bar Harbor Bicycle Shop in Maine.He said he hoped the increased sales meant a change in the way people think about transportation.“People are having a chance to rethink things,” he said, “Maybe we’ll all learn something out of this, and something really good will happen.”

1. What causes the increase in bicycle sales?

A．Outbreak of the coronavirus.	B．Shortage of public transportation

2. What change has the pandemic caused in Italy?

A．More bikes are sold than at Christmas time.	B．“Family-style” bicycles are in great need.
C．New bicycle paths have been built.	D．Cars are banned from some central roads.

3. What can we know from Paragraph 4?

A．It’s impossible to buy a bike.	B．High demand for bikes began in March.
C．Bike factories were closed in April.	D．It takes many months to produce a bike.

8 . For several months, Cara has been working up the courage to ask her mother about what she saw on the Internet. Not long ago, the 11-year-old found out that her mother had been posting her photos in her blog, without her agreement, for much of her life. "There are pictures I don't like of myself. It would be an embarrassment(令人尴尬的事)if my friends see those photos online," she said. "Now I'm even worried anytime someone has a phone out around me. I'm afraid that my photos could be taken and posted somewhere."

Not all kids feel the same when finding out they've been living a life online. Some are happy. In the fourth grade, Nate searched his name and found that he was in a news report about his making a beautiful kite in his third-grade class. He was really happy with that and he decided to search online every few months, hoping to find other things about himself online.

"I was surprised, really surprised," he said. "It made me feel famous."

He even kept saying, "Oh, I'm in a news report online." Although his friends knew that, many of his friends refused to stay close to him.

Like most other kids, Cara and Nate grew up in a society rich with social media. While many kids may not yet have accounts(账户)themselves, their parents, schools, sports teams, and organizations have been building an online presence for them since their birth. According to a study from the Levin College of Law at the University of Florida, 92 percent of kids under the age of 2 already have their own life online.

"The blog posts are sure to follow the children into adulthood," says the study. "Therefore, we have to be careful about putting the children's personal information online."

1. Why does Cara want to stop her mother putting her pictures online?

A．She is not a very pretty girl.	B．Her friends keep laughing at her.
C．She does not like being photographed.	D．Some of the pictures are embarrassing.

2. What happened after Nate told his friends that he was in a news report?

A．They felt really happy for him.	B．Many of them stayed away from him.
C．Many of them did not believe him.	D．They also opened their own accounts.

3. The study from the Levin College of Law suggests that        .

A．parents should keep their kids away from the Internet

B．pictures should not be put online without kids' agreement

C．kids should not tell their stories of success to their friends

D．putting kids' information online might lead to some problems

4. How is the text mainly developed?

Should some books be banned from school libraries?

Are there Harry Potter books in your school library? Many kids all over the world are reading J.K. Rowling's books in school. But some parents think their children shouldn't be able to find those and other books in school libraries. Should school libraries keep books that some parents don't approve of? Should they take those books off the shelves? All over the country, schools are struggling with those questions.

Many people believe that books that contain violence（暴力）or bad words shouldn't be in school libraries! Some people want the Harry Potter books removed because they contain talks about wizards and magic. Besides, books should meet certain standards（标准）before they are put in schools. Is this a good book for kids to read? Is it full of violence? Does it contain bad words or ideas kids shouldn't learn about? If a book is not good for all kids, it should not be in a school library. Most parents don't have time to find out everything their kids read. They should be able to trust schools to do that for them.

On the other hand, some believe that books should not be banned from school libraries! "Parents should decide what their own kids read," said Natalie Nicol, of Denver, Colorado. Many experts say that it's the parents' job, not the school's job, to check out what their kids are reading. If they don't like a book, they should not let their kids read it. Actually, kids should be able to check out books their parents think are OK to read. Many schools let kids borrow certain books if they have a signed paper from a parent. That works fine. A parent doesn't sign the paper if he or she doesn't want the child to read the book. If more adults were careful about what their own kids read, they wouldn't have to ban books from the library.
