It’s 3 o’clock and you’ve been hard at work. As you sit at your desk, a strong desire (欲望) for chocolate overcomes you. You try to busy yourself to make it go away. But it doesn’t. Here is another situation. Perhaps you are not feeling well. The only thing you want to eat is a big bowl of chicken soup, like your mom used to make when you were sick as a child. Food cravings are a strong desire for a specific type of food. And they are normal. Scientists at the website How Stuff Works compare hunger and cravings this way. Hunger is a fairly simple connection between the stomach and the brain. They even call it simply “stomach hunger.” When our stomachs burn up all of the food we have eaten, a hormone (荷尔蒙) sends a message to one part of the brain for more food, which controls our most basic body functions such as thirst, hunger and sleep. The brain then produces a chemical to start the appetite (食欲) and you eat. Hunger is a function of survival. A craving is more complex. It activates (刺激) brain areas related to emotion, memory and reward. These are the same areas of the brain activated during drug-craving studies. Because of this, some scientists call food cravings “mind hunger.” People often crave foods that are high in fat and sugar. Foods that are high in fat or high in sugar produce chemicals in the brain. These chemicals give us feelings of pleasure. In a 2007 study, researchers at Cambridge University found that “dieting or controlled eating generally increases the possibility of food craving.” So, the more you refuse yourself a food that you want, the more you may crave it. However, fasting is a bit different. They found that eating no food at all for a short period of time reduced food cravings. So, the next time you crave something very special, know that it’s the fault of your brain, instead of your stomach. 【1】The author describes two situations in the first paragraph to ________. A.deepen the understanding of hunger B.report the discovery of craving study C.introduce the topic of the whole passage D.remind readers of their own special food 【2】What do we learn about food craving? A.It shows food is connected with emotion. B.It makes sure that a person survives hunger. C.It means the stomach functions well. D.It proves the brain decides your appetite. 【3】What’s the likely result of dieting? A.The drop of chemicals. B.The increase of food desire. C.The refusal of fat and sugar. D.The disappearance of appetite. 【4】In which part of a newspaper can you see this passage? A.Education. B.Entertainment. C.Science. D.Economy. |

A dozen international coffee experts moved around a long wooden table, pausing at each steaming cup, heads dipping,smelling and tasting. In the wings, coffee farmer Yang Fan watches attentively as the judges’ circle, awaiting a decision on her latest crop of beans. In recent years, China is fast developing a reputation as a top coffee producer. This tasting was a side event to the first ever Pu’er International Specialty Coffee Expo in China’s southwestern Yunnan province, which ran this winter and drew more than a thousand attendees, including industry aficionados (酷爱者) from across the globe. “Coffee has huge potential in China,” says Liu Ying, who is working in private investment in Beijing to grow coffee in Pu’er five years ago. “The younger generation prefers to drink coffee in their offices much more than tea.” Still, Pu’er remains synonymous with tea. In a region of China known for thousands of years of tea growing, a new crop is beginning to change the country’s landscape: coffee. This town near the Laos border is surrounded by the green hills scored with tea plantations; it produces a variety of tea which is also called Pu’er. But the region’s mild climate is also perfect for growing Arabica coffee. And as China’s young people move away from traditional tea in favor of the invigorating coffee, Pu’er’s farmers are catering to the demand. Yunnan accounts for 98% of China’s coffee harvest, with half coming from the misty landscape around Pu’er. Today, China is the 13th biggest coffee producer in the world - rising from zero output three decades ago to 136,000 tons annually today. In April, Seattle’s annual Specialty Coffee Expo decided to showcase China as its portrait country of origin. It follows on the heels of Starbucks’ launching its first single-origin Yunnan coffee last year after eight years of partnership with Yunnan farmers. With global coffee prices at record lows, Yunnan farmers are processing beans in bespoke (定制的) ways to create distinct flavors -allowing them to enter the market of specialty coffee. “At current coffee prices, I can’t even feed my family,” says the farmer Yang. “My only way out is to produce specialty coffee, to make the best coffee beans.” That means letting beans dry in their cherries, thus producing a wild, fruity flavor, or allowing them to “honey” in their sugary inner layer, which adds a slight sweetness. “If I told you this was Colombian or Panama coffee, nobody would argue with me,” says Samuel Gurel, CEO of Pu’er’s Torch Coffee Roasters, as Yang breaks into a laughter. “It’s a great example of how Chinese coffee is evolving.” 【1】What is the best title of the passage? A.Coffee gains ground in China’s tea-growing heartland B.Coffee is taking the place of Pu’er tea in Yunnan province. C.Bespoke coffee in Ynnnan has a variety of flavors. D.China has become a top coffee producer in the world. 【2】People grow coffee in Pu’er because ________. A.they have the tradition to plant coffee B.Starbuck needs coffee from Yunnan province C.coffee planted there has a special flavor D.they think coffee has great potential in China 【3】What does the underlined sentence in the third paragraph mean? A.Pu’er cannot produce coffee. B.Coffee enjoys a good reputation. C.Pu’er is most famous for its tea. D.Coffee is as popular as coffee. 【4】What does Samuel Gurel think of Yang’s coffee beans? A.He is worried about it. B.He thinks highly of it. C.He doubts about its future. D.He shows no interest in it. |

Many facts suggest that children are overweight and the situation is getting worse, according to the doctors. 【1】. 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. 【2】, then probably children would buy less take-away food. 【3】. I agree with this, because good eating habits begin early in life, long before children start to visit fast food shops. If parents often give their children fried chicken and chocolate rather than healthy food, they will go for sweet and salty foods, and children will find it hard to get rid of the habit. 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. 【4】. What they need is to go outside and play active games or sports. The above are the main reasons for this problem. 【5】, as well as forcing them away from fast food shops and bad eating habits. A. There is another argument that blames parents for allowing their children to become overweight B. Adults are becoming fatter and unhealthier too C. If there were fewer of these restaurants D. So we have to encourage young people to be more active E. Not only is this an unhealthy pastime (消遣), it also gives them time to eat more unhealthy food F. I feel there are a number of reasons for this G. It’s a good idea to allow children to eat what they choose |

He wanted slippers; he wanted a silk tie; he wanted some toys. And school starting soon, he also hoped to get something about schooling. In order to get Santa to know what he needed, he thought he would write a letter to Santa, which he believed would bring him those presents. He found a sheet and made a list of the items on it, and then bent down to post the letter up the chimney, waiting for the winds to take it up. David got up very early on the Christmas morning. He searched his room carefully, but to his disappointment, he didn't find the presents he hoped for. Hadn't Santa received the letter? Was he too busy to send him the gifts? Although feeling a little upset, David was convinced that Santa would not forget him and he was bound to receive the items. Many years had passed and 2019 came. In an old house, a young builder, Lewis Shaw was removing the fireplace with his colleagues when he suddenly found a small piece of paper, which was still in perfect condition even if it had turned yellow. He picked it up and unfolded it. It was a letter written to Santa. The touching hand-written note read： Dear Father Christmas , Please can you send me a drum , box of chalks , slippers , silk tie , pencil box , any little toys you have to spare. Love David It was then signed off with lots of kisses. This was the very letter written by David and the house was where he had lived during his childhood! The letter struck Shaw so much. How simple Christmas once was! David didn't ask for much, just the things he just needed. Nowadays kids always wanted expensive gifts and took it for granted. 注意： 所续写短文的词数应为 150 左右； 至少使用 5 个短文中标有下划线的关键词； 续写部分分为两段，每段的开头语已为你写好； 续写完成后，请用下划线标出你所使用的关键词语。 Paragraph 1: Shaw decided to find out the author of the letter.
