I am in my 40s,but today I look more like a teenage girl. Not because I'm wearing the latest fashion or having a wild hair day. It's because I have a pimple(青春痘) that looks like a volcano getting ready to erupt on my chin. “Mom, what is that?” my 8-year-old daughter Lucy exclaimed, pointing at the ugly bump on my face. My in-laws were visiting and brought me a box of chocolates-one of my favorite foods. Eating properly seemed like a good idea until I was alone with that box of chocolates! I enjoyed them greatly, and my pimple proved my enthusiasm clearly. Food can be a large block for me. Broccoli(西蓝花)seldom appeals to me, but baked goods with sugar or crispy chips certainly do. I have no problem dipping a large spoon into a jar of peanut butter or frosting to satisfy my desires. But you won't catch me tasting a spoonful of cottage cheese for a late-night snack. Please don't misunderstand me. There is certainly a place for celebration foods such as cake and ice cream. But a regular serving of daily junk food robs me of the nutrition offered in the foods I eat. I know I feel better after eating an apple than I do after eating a candy bar. It's so easy in our society to eat processed food out of boxes, bags, and at the drive-thru. But that ease comes at a cost: We suffer physically. Our taste buds may be very, lack nutrition, which opens the door to diseases, I'm trying to ask myself a few questions before reaching for a snack or making a meal: Is this really food? Is there something God made in it? Am I really hungry? Will I feel satisfied, but our bodies better after eating this? 【1】What made the author feel she looked like a teenage girl? A.Her wild hair. B.Her ugly face. C.Her facial features. D.Her fashionable clothes. 【2】What can be inferred from Paragraph 3? A.The author eats chocolates as food. B.Chocolates may cause her pimples. C.The author's parents-in-law often visit her. D.The author eats chocolates to cure pimples. 【3】What do you think of the author's eating habit? A.It lacks protein. B.It isn't delicious. C.It makes her healthy. D.It isn't a balanced diet. 【4】What is the author's attitude towards processed food? A.Favorable. B.Optimistic. C.Positive. D.Critical. |

Generations of people in the United States have seen higher education as the best path towards a well-paying and satisfying job. But the cost of attending colleges and universities in the country has increased greatly over the last 30 years. And there is no guarantee that earning a degree will lead to a job that pays a person enough to support a family. So, some people turn to other forms of education and training. These include programs that lead to credentials(证书) that prove a person's abilities in a given field, from construction to healthcare. These kinds of programs often cost less than traditional degree programs. And they usually take less time to complete. New research, however, suggests that these programs are not helping women as much as they are helping men. It is found that about 27 percent of adults in the country hold at least one of these credentials. Adults who had one of these non-degree credentials made more money and were more likely to be employed than those who did not. Yet the public policy research group New America found some troubling information within that data. Experts there found that men and women earn these credentials at about the same rate. But men who have the same credentials as women are more likely to be employed. They also make more money. For example, 74 percent of men with a certificate but no four-year college degree were employed. By comparison, 67 percent of women with a certificate but no four-year degree were employed. In terms of pay, 46 percent of women with a credential but no four-year degree made less than $30,000 a year. The same was true for 25 percent of men. Seventeen percent of men with only a non-degree credential earned more than$75,000. Just five percent of women with similar credentials earned that much. 【1】What is the advantage of nontraditional degree programs? A.Free of charge. B.Less expensive. C.Interesting to attend. D.Popular with employers. 【2】What information upset New America in the study? A.Women lost interest in non-degree programs. B.Men looked down upon women. C.Men and women are not equal. D.Women are unwilling to work. 【3】How many women with non-degree credentials earned more than$75, 000? A.46%, B.25%. C.17%. D.5%. 【4】What can be a suitable title for the text? A.Non-degree Programs Benefit Men and Women Unequally B.Non-Degree Programs Replace the Traditional Universities C.It's Unfair That Men and Women Get Paid Differently D.College Costs Are Becoming Higher and Higher |

Light pollution is blocking a starry view of the night sky for more than half of people across England, a research has found. Fifty-seven percent of stargazers(观星者) struggled to see more than 10 stars, while just 2% of participants said they experienced a truly dark sky making them be able to count more than 30 according to the research by the Campaign to Protect Rural England(CPRE). People in the countryside were encouraged to count how many stars they could see with eyes within the constellation(星座) of Orion, which is visible only in the winter months. Campaigners said the results of the star count, supported by the British Astronomical Association ,showed the problem of light pollution and how it affected one of the countryside's most magical sights-a dark, starry night sky. They said the results of the research to map England's night skies suggested more could be done by the government, local councils and the general public to reduce the negative effects of artificial light from streets and buildings. Emma Marrington, dark skies campaigner at the CPRE, said “We're hugely grateful to the people who took the time to get out and take part in our star count. But it's deeply disappointing that the vast majority were unable to experience the natural wonder of a truly dark sky blanketed with stars. Without any action, our night sky will continue to be lost under a covering of artificial light, ruining the health of the natural world.” She added: “The star count results show just how far-reaching the light from street lights and buildings can be seen. Light doesn't respect boundaries, and careless use can see it spread for miles from cities.” She suggested better-designed lighting, street light dimming systems and part-night lighting where some street lights are turned off during the small hours should provide an opportunity to limit the damage caused by light pollution, reduce carbon emissions and save money. 【1】What is the effect of the light pollution in England? A.Leading the stars to disappear. B.Making the countryside dark. C.Making the environment terrible. D.Preventing the people seeing stars. 【2】What does the light pollution result from? A.More and more buildings. B.The overuse of artificial light. C.Less and less outdoor activities. D.The spread of light in the countryside. 【3】What does the underlined word “dimming” in the last paragraph mean? A.falling suddenly B.strengthening slowly C.becoming less bright D.getting weak and disappearing finally 【4】How does Emma feel about the stargazers 'efforts? A.Appreciative. B.Surprised. C.Disappointed. D.Regretful. |
