Children in Great Britain will no longer be able to buy energy drinks. The UK government has made plans to ban（禁止） the sale of energy drinks to children. It is now asking for public suggestions about what age the ban should start at (16 or 18), the BBC has reported.
An energy drink is a type of drink that has stimulants like caffeine. Red Bull is one of the most famous energy drinks. The makers of these drinks say that they can give you energy when you feel tired.
However, these drinks have very high levels of sugar and caffeine. Energy drinks have 65 percent more sugar than soft drinks. That may explain why obesity(肥胖症) rates have risen among children. Too much caffeine can lead to health problems, such as headaches and sleeplessness. A 250 ml can of Red Bull has about 80 mg of caffeine, three times the level of a can of Coca-Cola, the Guardian noted.
In the UK, more than 60 per cent of 10 to 17-year-olds buy energy drinks, according to the government data. “Childhood obesity is one of the greatest health challenges this country is facing. It is necessary that we do all we can to make sure children have the best start in life,” UK Prime Minister Theresa May said in a speech.
The ban would apply to drinks with more than 150 mg of caffeine per liter. Under the ban, shops in England that sell energy drinks to children may face fines(罚款) of up to 2,500 (22,374 yuan).
54. The obesity rates have risen among children because .
A. children drink too much soft drink B. there are too much caffeine in these drinks
C. they eat too many stimulants D. these drinks have very high levels of sugar
55. A 1000 ml can of Red Bull has about mg of caffeine.
A. 80 B. 240 C. 320 D. 250
56. Why should the UK control energy drinks according to UK Prime Minister Theresa May
A. Shops will pay the fines of 2,500 (22,374 yuan).
B. Caffeine can lead to headaches and sleeplessness.
C. They can’t give people energy when they feel tired.
D. They want to make sure children have the best start in life.
57. Which of the following statements is not right
A. The UK government has decided what age the ban should start at.
B. Energy drinks can lead to health problems and obesity.
C. Most children aged between 10 and 17 buy energy drinks in the UK.
D. Drinks with more than 150 mg of caffeine per liter would be banned.

Gever Tulley is a computer scientist from California. In 2005, he started a summer program for children called Tinkering School. The idea was that children can learn important skills for life by building things together. Gever Tulley and his team help the children to think big and create plans for new things they want to build. Children have made wonderful things since the school started. They have built a rollercoaster, a rope bridge , tree houses, wooden motorbikes and boats.
At Tinkering School, children get all kinds of materials like wood, metal, plastic, nails and ropes. They get lots of real tools too, such as knives, hammers, screwdrivers and power drills. Some children have cut themselves when using a knife, or hurt their fingers when using a hammer. Tinkering School has been around for many years now, but nobody has ever had a serious injury in all those years. This is because there are strict health and safety rules they must follow. The children always learn how to use the tools safely and they must wear the right clothing and protection at all times.
Gever Tulley’s ideas have worked very well. In 2011, Gever Tulley decided to create a “real” school, called Brightworks, in San Francisco. The school is very small—it only has 20 students aged 6 to 13. Since it started, Brightworks has been written about a lot. Most of those articles have been very positive. They have praised (表扬) the quality of the school. They have found the children are more active than at many other schools. But there have also been critical voices. Some people have said that children are not learning enough at Brightworks. They feel that students and teachers are just “playing around” all the time.
The students at Brightworks seem to love their school. We spoke to 12-year-old Tina Cooper. She has been a student at the school since last October. “Since I started here, I’ve never sat in a ‘normal’ class with a teacher.” she told us. “But there hasn’t been one single moment when I found it boring. Before, I was bored quite often.”
58．Which is TRUE about safety at Tinkering School
A．The school isn’t safe for kids at all. B．Children have never hurt themselves badly.
C．Children have never had an injury. D．No safety information has been mentioned there.
59．Read the underlined sentences and infer (推断) what might Gever Tulley say to these people
A．Children also need to follow strict school rules like wearing uniforms.
B．All children will learn to build rollercoasters, rope bridges and boats here.
C．Children can plan to make things and learn much by doing things in teams.
D．Most articles say that children are more serious here than at many other schools.
60．What does Tina Cooper think of the life at Brightworks
A．It changes her ideas about school life. B．It makes her feel bored from time to time.
C．It makes her love San Francisco even more. D．It seems as normal as her school life before.
61．From the passage, children can learn the following things EXCEPT ______.
A．Teamwork is important in our work B. We should be careful when using tools
C．It is important in life to eat healthy food D．It is important to be friendly and help others
D
When we are children, the holidays seem to last forever. But later, we may find that time just seems to fly by. Why does time seem to pass faster as we get older
According to the Daily Mail, our brains degrade as we get older. That decreases the amount of information we can deal with in a single day. "The human mind senses time changing when the perceived（感知到的） images change，"Adrian Bejan from Duke University, the US, told the Daily Mail. "The present is different from the past because the mental viewing has changed, not because somebody's clock rings."
Very young babies，for example, move their eyes much more often than adults because they are processing（处理） images at a faster rate. They deal with a large amount of information and do many things in a single day. This makes them feel like a single day lasts for a long time. However, as people get older, fewer images are processed in the same amount of time. Therefore, older people receive less information during a day than younger people. This causes things to seem as though they were happening more quickly.
Apart from the degradation of our brains, some psychological reasons also make us experience time differently.
People may measure time by the number of memorable things that can be recalled（回忆）within a certain period. When we think about our youth, we may remember a life packed with first-time activities, for example, our first-time traveling without our parents, or our first date. We experienced these events so vividly that time then seemed to have passed very slowly. According to David Eagle man of Baylor College of Medicine in the US, recalling these memories makes us feel like they took forever.
Many adults find life is routine and sometimes dull. For this reason, when they look back, they might feel like there are not many exciting things to remember. Therefore, time seems to be moving faster to them.
62.What does the underlined word "degrade" mean
A. Become better. B. Become worse. C. Remain the same. D. Become smaller.
63. How do people sense time changing according to Adrian Bejan
A. It depends on how their clocks change.
B. It depends on how the views around them change.
C. It depends on how often they move their eyes.
D. It depends on how the images they perceived change.
64. Why does time seem to pass faster as we get older
A. Because our life will become routine and dull when we grow older.
B. Because the degradation of our brains will make it slower to recall memories.
C. Because we'll deal with less information in the same amount of time.
D. Because we won't have first-time activities when we grow older.
65. If you were an adult, what could you do to seemingly slow down your time flow
A. Dream of reaching the future. B. Try something new and interesting.
C. Work around the clock as usual. D. Remember exciting things.
五．词汇运用(每空一词)

六．阅读表达(每题答案不超过8个词)
Humans need bees to help grow plants. When these insects visit flowers, they collect pollen (花粉). Without bees moving pollen from one flower to another, many plants can’t produce fruits.
In recent years, scientists have noticed a sharp drop in bee numbers. What has happened In short, the insects have lost their food source. As humans have taken over more and more land for cities, natural areas have disappeared. Take England for example. It has lost about 97 percent of its wildflower fields since World War II.
To help bees out, Britain is building “bee bus stops” across the country. These bus stops look ordinary. But there’s a small garden on each of their roofs (顶部). The gardens are full of flowers. They attract (吸引) bees. Because the soil for these gardens is heavy, gardeners have to take care of them twice a year. Other than that, not much is needed to keep the gardens going.
The idea of bee bus stops isn’t new. Several years ago, the Netherlands turned more than 300 of its bus stops into bee bus stops. This project is working. Bee numbers have grown since these bus stops were put into place, according to research. This is certainly good news for the British government.
Please answer each question with no more than 10 words.
76．How do bees help plants produce fruits
77．Why is there a sharp drop in bee numbers
78．Where do people build small gardens at these bee bus stops in Britain
79．How often do the gardeners have to take care of the gardens
80．What do you think of the “bee bus stops”
