2．意识到-be/become aware of．——青夏教育精英家教网—

20．We live in a society where many people tend to have"black and white thinking"and extreme thinking．Every day a new headline announces a certain food is bad and ruining our health，while praises another food of its amazing benefits．Each year，new studies in nutrition science come out，many of which are against earlier findings．Additionally，we are sold the lie that if we eat the"correct foods"and follow a set of rules，we will gain health and happiness．
We've all heard someone saying，"I ate a brownie（巧克力蛋糕）and I was so bad today．"Someone feels that what they eat determines whether they are a"good"or"bad"person．For instance，someone might also say，"I am a good parent if I feed my child this．"However，food isn't good or bad．What you choose to eat does not determine your value or worth as a human being．The only reason to feel guilty for eating a brownie is that you stole it from the store．
Besides，the idea that you shouldn't eat later in the evening is a nutrition myth．Our metabolism（代谢）keeps running 24hours a day．Rules （like telling yourself when to stop eating） create fear and a sense that you cannot trust with food．Consistently fueling your body every few hours especially when you are hungry will allow you to feel your best．So when you feel hungry before heading to bed，eat some cheese and crackers．
In my opinion，mental health is an important part of one's overall health．I think we can all agree that being terrified to eat some food is not mentally healthy．Rather than focusing on food rules，aim for balance，variety and flexibility．

21．We can judge whether a person is"good"or"bad"byA．
A．the source of the food
B．the time when they eat their food
C．the person's preference for food
D．the things they put in their food
22．Which of the following can be inferred from the text？B
A．It's wrong for people to eat anything late in the evening．
B．It's important to keep a balanced diet for people's health．
C．Fear of some food is an important reflection of mental health．
D．Parents who give children bad food are bad parents．
23．What seems to be the author's attitude toward me present thoughts about food？A
A．Disapproving
B．Favorable
C．Reserved
D．Objective．

19．Someone asks me what on earth happiness means？I can't give you the exact definition of it，but I'm sure if you love and help others，you'll get it．
I'll never forget an old lady （61）who/thatlives in a small house alone．It's said that her husband and her son （62）died（die） in a traffic accident．How bitter her life is!But the old lady often helps others （63）witha smile．Whenever it snows，she is always the first （64）to clean（clean ）the paths．She looks after several children living nearby．I am one of them．I often remember the stories she told us and her kind smile．Perhaps she is unlucky，（65）butI think she is a happy person．
Her life is full of laughter and love．
But I'm sad to see some people getting their happiness in bad ways．They speak loudly in cinemas and meeting rooms； they destroy trees to enjoy（66）themselves（they）and they laugh at others'（67）shortcomings （shortcoming）．Perhaps they feel happy at that time，but they will never get happiness（68）truly（true）because they have lost their personalities．Now I know（69）whathappiness is．It means kindness，love and unselfishness．Above all，only （70）bringing（bring） happiness to others can make you get it．

18．Standing in line at passport control isn't the most relaxing experience．The officer looks at your passport…at you …back at your passport…back at you．Kind of nerve annoying．But put yourself in their shoes They're trying to figure out if your face actually matches the image on the page．Not the easiest task．
"People are often surprised at how poor they are．"Said David White，a psychologist at the University of New South Wales in Australia．He's even tested Australian passport agents at the task．"Their performance was no better than group of untrained university students．"
In his latest study White and his colleagues studied how poor sleep-less than six and a half hours a night-might affect facial recognition．It turned out that bad sleep did lead to more wrong answers on a face-matching task．And officers in the study suffering from insomnia（失眠），meaning poor sleep plus other symptoms like anxiety，scored badly，too，compared to well-rested ones．
But here's the twist："When they made errors，people in this insomnia group actually had higher levels of confidence．They were more sure of heir wrong answers．"The results are in Royal Society Open Science．
To avoid these kinds of errors，White suggests security organizations pay more attention to which employees may be sleeping poorly．"That's more a sort of everyday occurrence，certainly for new parents or people that may have their sleep affected by shift work，which is very common in these security settings．"And he also suggests that they screen their employees for signs of insomnia and consider assigning those officers to different jobs，which don't involve recognizing faces all day．

32．What can be concluded from the first paragraph？A
A．Customs officers'work is demanding．

To improve students'physical health，our school has recently launched a campaign called"I love sports，I enjoy health"．（高分句型一）
There are a variety of activities available for all the students to participate in．For example，basketball lovers can join the basketball club，where they are trained by experienced coaches and compete in a series of matches．（高分句型二）Swimming lovers can go to the newly-built swimming pool and whoever prefers working out indoors can go to the gym to work up a sweat．（高分句型三）You can also see a large group of students jogging on the playground every afternoon．
All the activities are very popular with us students．They not only build up our body but also boost our academic performances．．

16．Our world is a strange place．While millions of poor children go to sleep every night with an empty stomach，there are countries which dump（倾倒）40% of their unconsumed food．On a rough estimate，almost one third of the world's food supply is rejected due to small blemishes（瑕疵）like improper shape or spots，which might not excite interest from shoppers．
Tristram Stuart is a British activist who sounds the warning bell on global food waste．He wants the world to stop wasting so much good food，and calls for a more responsible use of global resources．
Stuart's passion started with pigs．At age 15，he raised pigs to earn extra money，feeding them with leftover food from his school kitchen and local shops．He soon realized that most of the leftover food was actually fit for human consumption．He also began noticing supermarket garbage bins filled with fresh food．
"Everywhere I looked，we were wasting food，"he says．"So I began exposing it to the public．"
In 2009，Start launched what has become a global food-waste campaign：Feeding the 5000．It was a consciousness raising campaign where 5000 people in London were given a free lunch created entirely of food that would otherwise be wasted．People also signed up to the Food Wastage Pledge，promising to reduce their food waste．
Since Stuart's efforts began，many supermarkets have changed policies．"Ugly"fruits and vegetables sell well in the fresh produce market．Since stores cam sell them for less，shoppers get a bargain．
Stuart stresses that each person can make a powerful difference："In the U．K，food waste in homes has already decreased 25%．By rising up and speaking out，we can make the world's food system more sustainable（可持续）every day．So let's put dumped food into empty stomachs rather than into dustbins．"

14．If you ever visit an English village，make sure to look out for morris dancing．Undoubtedly one of the strangest traditions of English culture，morris dancing is a form of folk dancing that dates back to the 15th century．If you ever get the opportunity，you really have to see it．
Men and women wearing old-fashioned，shabby clothing dance in the streets of towns and villages across the country during the holiday periods．Women wear long，frilly（有褶皱边的）skirts and men wear short trousers with bell s attached to them．They dance to traditional folk music which is often played on traditional musical instruments．
Some groups carry heavy black sticks which they beat against each other while they dance．Other groups wave handkerchiefs in the air while they perform．The dances are usually performed near a pub so that when it's over，the dancers and audience can sing some traditional folk songs over a pint of beer．The celebrations will often continue long into the night，by which point most people are too drunk to think about performing again．
Morris dancing is a great English tradition but it's facing a big crisis．As the years go by，fewer and fewer young people are joining morris dancing groups．The dancers are getting older and older and eventually，if nothing is done to change this trend，the tradition will die out within the next few decades．
If you've ever had the fortune to see morris dancing，you may understand why teenagers aren't rushing to sign up．Putting it to the point，it's not exactly the coolest thing for an 18-year-old to be doing．Why dress up in bells and funny costumes when you could be going clubbing？Or playing sport？Or doing anything else？
However，it would be a great shame to lose such a fun and lively part of England's history and culture．It's important to look after some traditions and customs especially when it's something as harmless and happy as morris dancing．So here's a toast to the next generation of would-be morris dancers!Let's hope they don't leave it too late．

32．What is the passage mainly about？D
A．The origins of morris dancing．
B．The popularity of morris dancing．
C．The protection of morris dancing．
D．The introduction of morris dancing．
33．What do we know about morris dancers？D
A．They dance in pubs late into the night．
B．They sing folk music while they dance．
C．They wear long dresses with bells attached．
D．They perform with sticks or handkerchiefs．
34．What is the present situation of morris dancing？A
A．It is losing appeal among young people．
B．It is keeping pace with people's demand．
C．It is witnessing great changes in history．
D．It is being criticized by modern people．
