Like many people，I’ve spent much of my life trying various diets and methods of losing weight, some quick and painless, others slow and tiring. most of them including the so-called “cheat day”. The principle of the cheat day is simple: After going on a diet throughout a week or a month, you can eat anything you like on that day. The day makes all my eating and drinking not only satisfactory but acceptable. After all, I deserve it. However, the problem for me was that cheat days were never quite that. Either they became happy cheat weeks, cheat months and sometimes cheat years, or they filled me with anxiety of going off-track so that I couldn't truly enjoy them. Using food as a reward only perpetuated my unhealthy relationship with food, and it troubled me in my approach to health. After struggling for a couple of months, I came to realize the true colors of the cheat day. It goes to extremes — none or all. Also, cheat days imply that foods can be divided into “good” and “bad”. That's why I felt guilty when I had a piece of cake for breakfast instead of fat-free milk. But food, in fact, has no moral (道德的)value. It is simply intended to fill your body and provide nutrition. Hopefully it tastes good, too. This simple thought has inspired me to quit cheat days. I don't feel worried or ashamed any more and start to reconsider my relationship with food. I just pay more attention to the signs of my stomach, and eat what I desire while being mindful of the health results. Doing away with cheat days lightens my mind and improves my relationship with food. 【1】What do people do on a "cheat day”? A.Tell lies. B.Eat what they like. C.Go on a diet. D.Try gaining weight. 【2】What does the underlined word “perpetuated” in paragraph 3 mean? A.Ruined. B.Continued. C.Repaired. D.Improved. 【3】What does the author mainly want to tell us? A.A healthy relationship with food matters. B.One needn't feel guilty about eating little. C.“Cheat day” is effective in nutrition control. D.Losing weight does harm physically and mentally. |

We know that carbon dioxide is a major driver of climate change, so the more that can be taken out of the atmosphere by plants, the better. With the warmer climate leading to a longer growing season, some scientists have suggested that more carbon dioxide would be absorbed by trees. But a new study has turned this theory on its head. The researchers，led by Deborah Zani at the Swiss Federal Institute of Technology, studied certain tree species and recorded how much carbon each tree absorbed per season. With data from other projects, the researchers found as the rate of photosynthesis (光合作用)increased with warmer climate, leaves changed color and fell earlier in the year. Climate-controlled experiments show what could be behind this unexpected result. In the trials, the trees were exposed to full sun, half shade or full shade. The results show there's a limit to the amount of photosynthesis that a tree can carry out over a growing season and that certain trees can only absorb a set amount of carbon each year. Think of it like filling a bucket with water. It can be done slowly or quickly, but once the bucket is full, there's nowhere for any more water to go. Once that limit is reached，leaves begin to change color. The limit is set by the availability of nutrients，particularly nitrogen，which is a key nutrient that plants need to grow. The amount of available nitrogen often limits total growth. That's why farmers and gardeners use nitrogen fertilizer. These new findings have significant implications (启示) for climate change modelling. If we accept that warmer weather and longer growing seasons won't allow trees to take up more carbon dioxide, carbon dioxide levels will rise more quickly than previously expected. The only way to change this will be to increase the capacity(容纳能力) of trees to absorb carbon. 【1】What does the new study suggest? A.More carbon dioxide would be absorbed by trees. B.Global warming shortens the growing season of plants. C.The amount of carbon dioxide decides the photosynthesis. D.Warmer climate may cause leaves to change color earlier. 【2】How did the researchers carry out the study? A.By analyzing collected data. B.By measuring temperature. C.By observing changes of shade. D.By modeling climate change. 【3】The example in paragraph 3 helps readers understand___________. A.the ways to fill in a bucket B.the process of controlling climate C.the limitation of carbon absorption D.the importance of sunlight exposure 【4】Why do the farmers and gardeners use nitrogen fertilizers? A.To stop total growth of plants. B.To change the shape of plants. C.To slow the rate of photosynthesis. D.To overcome plant growth limitation. |

阅读下面材料，根据其内容和所给段落开头语续写两段，使之构成一篇完整的短文. Oliver sat up in his sleeping bag, feeling glad. On a low-hanging branch a few yards away sat a great gray owl (猫头鹰)! Its face was so noticeable that he recognized it immediately. Great grays were rare and endangered, and he might never see one again. Oliver was still staring when he realized his dad was sitting up too. “See that?” His father nodded, a look of wonder on his face. “A great gray owl……I never thought I'd actually see one.” In the morning, Oliver wandered around the campsite with his binoculars (望远镜). Then he saw a big nest in an Oregon ash. He climbed up the tree and looked inside—four smooth white eggs! He fished out an old digital camera and took a bunch of photos. Back at the campsite, he showed the photos to his dad, who agreed: owl eggs. Then Dad handed him a cellphone, “Read the news.” Oliver read the headline: “New Shopping Mall Under Discussion.” The new mall would have Oliver's favorite sporting goods store. Sweet, But when he read its location, his smile faded. "That's right where we saw the owl. They can't do that!” Oliver said. “I don't think they should build that mall there.” He looked down at the news again. “On Tuesday there's a town council meeting to vote whether to build it there. Can I go?” “That's an excellent idea,” said his dad. But when Oliver biked over to the meeting, no one took him seriously. “That's nice that you're interested in birds,” said the town council president. “Why not write a paper for your science class?” The president was treating the 14-year-old like he was 5. “I have photos of a nest,” Olive insisted. “With eggs in it. Owls are breeding (繁殖) in that area.” The president glanced at the photos. “The date stamp on these says 200; that's 15 years ago!” “How could that be? I just took them!” said Oliver. But he knew the camera was old. Something must have gone wrong with it. 注意： 1.续写词数应为100左右； 2.请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。 Paragraph 1: On the way home, Oliver's mind was busy developing a plan. ________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ Paragraph 2: Three days later, Oliver showed up at the town council meeting on crutches(拐杖). __________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ |
