A 17-year-old boy nicknamed Tao Tao with cerebral palsy(脑瘫) has made positive attempts to achieve greater self-reliance through selling self-made popcorn on the street on his own, touching the hearts of netizens and winning him an education opportunity.
According to Tao Tao’s mother: Yao Chuanhua, her son was born with the disabling condition. Over the years, she has continuously tried to train him to adapt and live as normally as possible.
As Tao Tao grew up, the idea of fostering his independence by selling homemade popcorn has brewed in the mother’s mind. She taught Tao Tao how to make popcorn at home and helped set up a stall in Xiaoshan district, Hangzhou city of East China’s Zhejiang province.

“My goal is to encourage him to make a brave step forward and connect with the outside world. I hope that one day he could live independently through his own efforts.”
“Tao Tao is a persevering child. He insists on making and packaging the popcorn all by himself, trying his best his best to prove that he can make it,” Yao added.
The online video sensation has drawn the attention of the local education authority to Tao Tao’s situation. After learning that the teen failed to receive proper school education due to health conditions, they have arranged for local special education teachers to offer him door-to-door teaching.

Think of a caveman, and maybe you imagine someone tearing at the flesh of an animal they’ve just hunted. But this picture may be false—analysis of prehistoric remains suggests that Stone Age people were skilled in processing and cooking different kinds of seeds, even experimenting with different flavours. Seeds are still an important part of our diets, so maybe food choices haven’t changed as much as we think.
In botanical terms, seeds are what new plants grow from. Strictly speaking, edible seeds include nuts, pulses and grains, and area significant source of protein and calories world-wide. Between them, rice and bread are staple foods in most of the world. Many cuisines use beans, whether cooked in stews or curries, or mashed into pastes, like hummus from the Middle East. This definition of seeds also includes coffee beans and the cocoa beans used to make chocolate.
Added to these are culinary (烹饪的) seeds. These are what we more often think of as seeds-we often buy them unprocessed and use them whole in cooking, whether as a seasoning, as part of a salad or as a topping for bread. This includes chia seeds (奇亚籽), sesame seeds (芝麻籽) and flaxseed (亚麻籽).
There are clear health benefits to including these seeds in our diet. They are high in dietary fibre, which is good for digestion and helps fight illnesses such as diabetes and bowel cancer. They are also a good source of unsaturated fat (不饱和脂肪). Experts believe that using this to replace saturated fats, such as those from meat and dairy products, can lower cholesterol and help keep our heart healthy. The minerals contained in many culinary seeds, such as zinc, copper, and folate, can be beneficial for the immune system.
However, it’s not all good news. Seeds can cause an allergic reaction, especially sesame seeds. Sesame is one of the top ten causes of food allergies in the UK. Different types of seeds can share allergy-causing proteins, and other seeds that can cause allergies include sunflower seeds and poppy seeds.
8. Which of the following might the author disagree with
A. Cavemen made a living merely by hunting.
B. Stone Age people could try different flavors.
C. Stone Age people were good at processing seeds.
D. Seeds might be an important part of cavemen’s diets.
9. What does the underlined word “staple” in Paragraph 2 mean
A. Rare. B. Main. C. Costly. D. Undiscovered.
10. What benefit of unsaturated fat is mentioned in the article
A. It can help defeat cancer.
B. It can help us digest cholesterol.
C. It can help keep our spirits high.
D. It can assist in keeping our hearts fit.
11. What can be inferred from the last paragraph
A. The British can note at sesame seeds.
B. We should eat less seeds but more meat.
C. Not all seeds are beneficial for everyone’s health.
D. We shouldn’t produce seeds causing allergic reactions.
【答案】8. A 9. B 10. D 11. C
【解析】
【导语】本文为一篇说明文，讲述了种子在我们烹饪中的用处，益处及有可能带来过敏反应。
【8题详解】
推理判断题。根据文章第一段“Think of a caveman, and maybe you imagine someone tearing gat the flesh of an animal they’ve just hunted. But this picture may be false—analysis of prehistoric remains suggests that Stone Age people were skilled in processing and cooking different kinds of seeds, even experimenting with different flavours.(想想穴居人，也许你会想象有人在撕扯他们刚刚猎杀的动物的肉。但这幅图可能是错误的——对史前遗迹的分析表明，石器时代的人们熟练地加工和烹饪不同种类的种子，甚至尝试不同的味道)”可推知，作者认为石器时代的人可以尝试不同的口味，擅长加工种子，所以种子可能是穴居人饮食的重要组成部分，但是并没有提到穴居人仅靠打猎为生。故选A。
【9题详解】
词义猜测题。根据文章划线词前文“In botanical terms, seeds are what new plants grow from. Strictly speaking, edible seeds include nuts, pulses and grains, and area significant source of protein and calories world-wide.(用植物学术语来说，种子是新植物生长的基础。严格来说，可食用的种子包括坚果、豆类和谷物，是世界范围内蛋白质和卡路里的重要来源)”及后文“foods in most of the world(世界上大部分地区的食物)”可推知，大米和面包是主要的食物，staple意思为：主要的。故选B。
【10题详解】
细节理解题。根据文章倒数第二段“They are also a good source of unsaturated fat(不饱和脂肪). Experts believe that using this to replace saturated fats, such as those from meat and dairy products, can lower cholesterol and help keep our heart healthy.(它们也是不饱和脂肪的良好来源。专家认为，用它来代替饱和脂肪，比如来自肉类和乳制品的脂肪，可以降低胆固醇，帮助保持心脏健康)”可知，不饱和脂肪可以帮助我们保持心脏健康。故选D。
【11题详解】
推理判断题。根据文章最后一段“However, it’s not all good news. Seeds can cause an allergic reaction, especially sesame seeds. Sesame is one of the top ten causes of food allergies in the UK. Different types of seeds can share allergy-causing proteins, and other seeds that can cause allergies include sunflower seeds and poppy seeds.(然而，也不全是好消息。种子会引起过敏反应，尤其是芝麻。在英国，芝麻是引起食物过敏的十大原因之一。不同类型的种子可以共同含有引起过敏的蛋白质，其他可引起过敏的种子包括葵花籽和罂粟籽)”可推知，并不是所有的种子都对每个人的健康有益，有些会引起过敏反应。故选C。
D
Did you know many adults sit down for more than nine hours a day Maybe you’re one of them! Whether it’s working at a desk, sitting motionless in a car, bus or train or lounging on the sofa watching TV, we have a much more sedentary lifestyle than our parents and grandparents did. The question that this raises is just what it is doing to our bodies.
The news isn’t good. A study carried out in the 1950s compared bus drivers with the conductors, who walked around the bus selling tickets. It showed that drivers, who spent many hours sitting at the wheel, were twice as likely to have heart attacks than the more active conductors. In fact, prolonged sitting has been associated with a number of different conditions, even in people who otherwise take regular exercise. If you sit down all day, you burn far fewer calories than someone with a more active job. There are suggestions that its lows your metabolism (新陈代谢) and makes it harder for your body to regulate blood sugar levels increasing the risk of diabetes.
One possible answer to this problem is for desk workers to use standing desks, to spend at least part of their day on their feet. One small study showed that office workers who stood for three hours after lunch had a much smaller increase in blood sugar levels, while another suggested that by standing for three or four hours a day over the period of a year, people would burn as many calories as if they had run ten marathons.
Other experts question this figure and point out that standing all day can also have negative impacts, such as leg or back pain, recommending that if people do want to use standing desks, they should gradually increase the amount of time that they spend on their feet. Crucially, they also point out that there are many alternatives to sitting, and that their impact is unlikely to be the same; walking, for example, burns far more calories than standing.
12. What is the text mainly talk about
A. The dangers of long sitting. B. Measures to burn more calories.
C. Disadvantages of standing at work. D. Suggestions from the experts on health.
13. Which is not true according to the text
A. Walking burns far more calories than standing.
B. We are more active than our previous generations.
C. Leg or back pain could be a negative effect of standing all day.
D. Not being able to regulate blood sugar levels can lead to diabetes.
14. Who may burn the least calories
A. A bus conductor. B. A marathon runner.
C. A sitting desk worker. D. A standing office worker.
15. What is other experts’ attitude towards the figure from the last study
A. Ambiguous B. Approving. C. Skeptical. D. Dismissive.
【答案】12. A 13. B 14. C 15. C
【解析】
【导语】这是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍了久坐的危害以及解决办法。
【12题详解】
主旨大意题。根据文章第一段“Did you know many adults sit down for more than nine hours a day (你知道很多成年人每天坐着的时间超过9个小时吗？)”和“The question that this raises is just what it is doing to our bodies.(这带来的问题是它对我们的身体有什么影响)”和文章第二段“If you sit down all day, you burn far fewer calories than someone with a more active job. There are suggestions that its lows your metabolism (新陈代谢) and makes it harder for your body to regulate blood sugar levels increasing the risk of diabetes.(如果你整天坐着，你燃烧的卡路里比那些从事更活跃工作的人要少得多。有迹象表明，它会降低你的新陈代谢，使你的身体更难调节血糖水平，从而增加患糖尿病的风险)”可知，文章主要介绍了久坐的危害。故选A。
【13题详解】
细节理解题。根据文章第一段“Whether it’s working at a desk, sitting motionless in a car, bus or train or lounging on the sofa watching TV, we have a much more sedentary lifestyle than our parents and grandparents did.(无论是在办公桌前工作，在汽车、公共汽车或火车上一动不动地坐着，还是懒洋洋地躺在沙发上看电视，我们的生活方式比我们的父母和祖父母要久坐得多)”可知，我们没有前几代人活跃，因此B项表述错误。故选B。
【14题详解】
推理判断题。根据文章第二段“A study carried out in the 1950s compared bus drivers with the conductors, who walked around the bus selling tickets. It showed that drivers, who spent many hours sitting at the wheel, were twice as likely to have heart attacks than the more active conductors.( 20世纪50年代进行的一项研究比较了公共汽车司机和售票员，售票员在公共汽车上走来走去卖票。研究表明，长时间坐在驾驶座上的司机患心脏病的可能性是那些更活跃的售票员的两倍)”和文章第三段“while another suggested that by standing for three or four hours a day over the period of a year, people would burn as many calories as if they had run ten marathons.(而另一项研究表明，每天站立三到四个小时，一年下来，人们燃烧的卡路里相当于跑了十次马拉松)”可推知，坐着办公的人消耗的卡路里最少。故选C。
【15题详解】
推理判断题。根据文章最后一段“Other experts question this figure and point out that standing all day can also have negative impacts, such as leg or back pain, recommending that if people do want to use standing desks, they should gradually increase the amount of time that they spend on their feet.(其他专家对这一数字提出质疑，并指出整天站立也会产生负面影响，比如腿部或背部疼痛，建议如果人们确实想使用站立式办公桌，他们应该逐渐增加站着的时间)”可推知，其他专家对最后一项研究的数据持怀疑态度。故选C。

You can be hurt by other people in life. That is a fact. And some of those hurts can even leave scars that affect how you think, act and relate to others. Then how do you handle the people who send you into depression ____16____Definitely not. You can make a different choice to make painful circumstances direct you to a new path.
Remember you can’t please every single person especially a critical one. No one can do that. Some are praying for rain, while others are praying: for sunshine. You shouldn’t be replaying hurtful statements made to you.____17____
____18____We live in a society where we don’t get a whole lot of approval. It is not wise of you to do all sorts of crazy things trying to win a smile from some people too cold to ever give it.____19____Don’t waste any energy trying to convince unpleasable, disapproving people that you are a great person. You should firmly believe you are happy as you choose to be.

【答案】16. G 17. E 18. F 19. A 20. C
【解析】
【导语】本文是一篇说明文。生活中我们可能会被其他人伤害。其中一些伤害甚至会留下伤疤，影响我们的想法、行为和与他人的关系。本文提出了一些适当的方法来面对和处理可能会遇到或已经遇到的伤害。
【16题详解】
根据前文“Then how do you handle the people who send you into depression (那么你如何处理那些让你陷入抑郁的人呢)”可知，后文应是对此问的回答，再根据后文“Definitely not. You can make a different choice to make painful circumstances direct you to a new path.(当然不。你可以做出不同的选择，让痛苦的环境指引你走上一条新的道路)”可知，空处应是一种错误的方法，所以G项“Withdraw into a shell, hide in a cave, and isolate yourself from others.(躲进壳里，躲在山洞里，把自己和别人隔离开来)”符合文意。故选G项。
【17题详解】
空处位于段尾，是对前文的总结，根据前文“Remember you can’t please every single person especially a critical one. No one can do that. Some are praying for rain, while others are praying: for sunshine. You shouldn’t be replaying hurtful statements made to you.(记住，你不可能取悦每一个人，尤其是那些挑剔的人。没人能做到。有些人在祈求下雨，有些人在祈求阳光。你不应该重复别人对你的伤害)”可知，本段主要讲述了你不要试图去取悦每一个人，所以E项“Additionally, it’s foolish to attempt what is impossible.(此外，尝试不可能的事情是愚蠢的)”符合文意，是对前文的总结。故选E项。
【18题详解】
空处位于段首，是本段的中心句，根据后文“We live in a society where we don’t get a whole lot of approval. It is not wise of you to do all sorts of crazy things trying to win a smile from some people too cold to ever give it.(我们生活在一个得不到很多认可的社会里。你做各种疯狂的事情，试图从一些冷酷的人那里赢得一个微笑，这是不明智的)”可知，本段主要讲述了有关获得他人认可的问题，所以F项“Realize that you don’t need others’ approval to be happy.(意识到你不需要别人的认可来快乐)”符合本段主题，其中approval为同词复现。故选F项。
【19题详解】
根据前文“It is not wise of you to do all sorts of crazy things trying to win a smile from some people too cold to ever give it.(你做各种疯狂的事情，试图从一些冷酷的人那里赢得一个微笑，这是不明智的)”以及后文“Don’t waste any energy trying to convince unpleasable, disapproving people that you are a great person. You should firmly believe you are happy as you choose to be.(不要浪费任何精力去说服不愉快、不赞成你的人让他们相信你是一个伟大的人。你应该坚定地相信，你的幸福取决于你的选择)”可知，前文讲述从一些冷酷的人那里赢得一个微笑，这是不明智的，后文讲述过得幸福的具体方法，所以空处应是过渡句，从不好的结果到解决方法，所以A项“So refuse to play the game.(所以拒绝玩这个游戏)”符合文意。故选A项。
【20题详解】
根据前文“Refuse to fight back. When we are hurt, the instant reaction is to fight back. However, striking back only lowers you to the opponent’s level of immaturity.(拒绝反击。当我们受到伤害时，第一反应就是反击。然而，反击只会降低你与对手的不成熟水平)”以及后文“It will help both of you.(这对你们俩都有帮助)”可知，前文讲述反击只会降低你与对手的不成熟水平，后文讲述对双方都有帮助，所以空处应是提出一种解决方法，所以C项“Instead, you can pray for the other person.(相反，你可以为对方祈祷)”符合文意。故选C项。

This year, our city is carrying out a program, called on everyone to throw rubbish into the right dustbin according to the four categories. Teachers and students in our school take a active part in the activity. In order to protect our environment, the waste classification activity is launching. People are required to sort garbage into different category such as harmful waste, recyclables and kitchen waste, that are supposed to be thrown into right bins. At the first, people are confused about which category the rubbish belongs to, but under the help of the posters, we're doing a much better job now. Waste Classification is environmental friendly. In long run, the result is very worth our efforts. Let's work together make our city more beautiful!
【答案】1. called→ calling
2. a→ an
3. launching→ launched
4. category → categories
5. that→ which
6. 去掉 the
7. under→ with
8. environmental →environmentally

【解析】
【导语】本文是一篇倡议书。文章主要描述了城市正在实施的一个垃圾分类项目，并强调了学校师生积极参与该项目的重要性。同时，文章还解释了垃圾分类的不同类别以及人们应该如何正确分类垃圾。
【详解】1. 考查非谓语动词。句意：今年，我们的城市正在开展一项计划，呼吁每个人把垃圾扔进正确的垃圾箱，按照四类。非谓语动词担当状语，主句和“call on”为主动关系，用现在分词形式。故将called改为calling。
2. 考查冠词。句意：我们学校的老师和学生都积极参加了这次活动。修饰可数名词单数，用不定冠词；active为元音音素开头，用an而不是a。故将a改为an。
3. 考查语态。句意：为了保护我们的环境，垃圾分类活动正在开展。这里为本句谓语动词，主语“the waste classification activity”和动词“launch”之间为被动关系，所以用被动语态。故将launching改为launched。
4. 考查名词的数。句意：人们被要求将垃圾分为不同的类别，如有害废物、可回收物和厨房垃圾，这些垃圾应该被扔进正确的垃圾箱。根据名词“category”前的“different”可知，名词“category”为复数形式。故将category改为categories。
5. 考查定语从句。句意：人们被要求将垃圾分为不同的类别，如有害废物、可回收物和厨房垃圾，这些垃圾应该被扔进正确的垃圾箱。这里为定语从句的引导词，先行词为“harmful waste, recyclables and kitchen waste”，在非限制性定语从句中担当主语，用关系代词which。故将that改为which。
6. 考查固定短语。句意：起初，人们对垃圾属于哪一类感到困惑，但在海报的帮助下，我们现在做得更好了。固定短语：at first，意为“首先、起初”，符合句意。故将the去掉。
7. 考查固定短语。句意：起初，人们对垃圾属于哪一类感到困惑，但在海报的帮助下，我们现在做得更好了。固定短语：with the help of，意为“在……的帮助下”。故将under改为with。
8. 考查副词。句意：废物分类是环保的。修饰形容词“friendly”用副词形式。故将environmental 改为environmentally。
9. 考查固定短语。句意：从长远来看，结果是非常值得我们的努力。固定短语：in the long run，意为“从长远看”，符合句意。故在long前加the。
10. 考查非谓语动词。句意：让我们共同努力，让我们的城市更加美丽！非谓语动词担当目的状语，用动词不定式形式。在make前加to。

A 17-year-old boy nicknamed Tao Tao with cerebral palsy(脑瘫) has made positive attempts to achieve greater self-reliance through selling self-made popcorn on the street on his own, touching the hearts of netizens and winning him an education opportunity.
According to Tao Tao’s mother: Yao Chuanhua, her son was born with the disabling condition. Over the years, she has continuously tried to train him to adapt and live as normally as possible.
As Tao Tao grew up, the idea of fostering his independence by selling homemade popcorn has brewed in the mother’s mind. She taught Tao Tao how to make popcorn at home and helped set up a stall in Xiaoshan district, Hangzhou city of East China’s Zhejiang province.
“Tao Tao don’t worry. Take it easy even if no one comes to buy,” after a few words of encouragement, Yao stepped aside and let his son take charge.
Initially reserved and unaccustomed to street vending, Tao Tao struggled to attract buyers. To boost his confidence, the mother even paid some passers-by to buy popcorn from her son’s stall.

Think of a caveman, and maybe you imagine someone tearing at the flesh of an animal they’ve just hunted. But this picture may be false—analysis of prehistoric remains suggests that Stone Age people were skilled in processing and cooking different kinds of seeds, even experimenting with different flavours. Seeds are still an important part of our diets, so maybe food choices haven’t changed as much as we think.
In botanical terms, seeds are what new plants grow from. Strictly speaking, edible seeds include nuts, pulses and grains, and area significant source of protein and calories world-wide. Between them, rice and bread are staple foods in most of the world. Many cuisines use beans, whether cooked in stews or curries, or mashed into pastes, like hummus from the Middle East. This definition of seeds also includes coffee beans and the cocoa beans used to make chocolate.
Added to these are culinary (烹饪的) seeds. These are what we more often think of as seeds-we often buy them unprocessed and use them whole in cooking, whether as a seasoning, as part of a salad or as a topping for bread. This includes chia seeds (奇亚籽), sesame seeds (芝麻籽) and flaxseed (亚麻籽).
There are clear health benefits to including these seeds in our diet. They are high in dietary fibre, which is good for digestion and helps fight illnesses such as diabetes and bowel cancer. They are also a good source of unsaturated fat (不饱和脂肪). Experts believe that using this to replace saturated fats, such as those from meat and dairy products, can lower cholesterol and help keep our heart healthy. The minerals contained in many culinary seeds, such as zinc, copper, and folate, can be beneficial for the immune system.
However, it’s not all good news. Seeds can cause an allergic reaction, especially sesame seeds. Sesame is one of the top ten causes of food allergies in the UK. Different types of seeds can share allergy-causing proteins, and other seeds that can cause allergies include sunflower seeds and poppy seeds.
8. Which of the following might the author disagree with
A. Cavemen made a living merely by hunting.
B. Stone Age people could try different flavors.
C. Stone Age people were good at processing seeds.
D. Seeds might be an important part of cavemen’s diets.
9. What does the underlined word “staple” in Paragraph 2 mean
A. Rare. B. Main. C. Costly. D. Undiscovered.
10. What benefit of unsaturated fat is mentioned in the article
A. It can help defeat cancer.
B. It can help us digest cholesterol.
C. It can help keep our spirits high.
D. It can assist in keeping our hearts fit.
11. What can be inferred from the last paragraph
A. The British can note at sesame seeds.
B. We should eat less seeds but more meat.
C. Not all seeds are beneficial for everyone’s health.
D. We shouldn’t produce seeds causing allergic reactions.
D
Did you know many adults sit down for more than nine hours a day Maybe you’re one of them! Whether it’s working at a desk, sitting motionless in a car, bus or train or lounging on the sofa watching TV, we have a much more sedentary lifestyle than our parents and grandparents did. The question that this raises is just what it is doing to our bodies.
The news isn’t good. A study carried out in the 1950s compared bus drivers with the conductors, who walked around the bus selling tickets. It showed that drivers, who spent many hours sitting at the wheel, were twice as likely to have heart attacks than the more active conductors. In fact, prolonged sitting has been associated with a number of different conditions, even in people who otherwise take regular exercise. If you sit down all day, you burn far fewer calories than someone with a more active job. There are suggestions that its lows your metabolism (新陈代谢) and makes it harder for your body to regulate blood sugar levels increasing the risk of diabetes.
One possible answer to this problem is for desk workers to use standing desks, to spend at least part of their day on their feet. One small study showed that office workers who stood for three hours after lunch had a much smaller increase in blood sugar levels, while another suggested that by standing for three or four hours a day over the period of a year, people would burn as many calories as if they had run ten marathons.
Other experts question this figure and point out that standing all day can also have negative impacts, such as leg or back pain, recommending that if people do want to use standing desks, they should gradually increase the amount of time that they spend on their feet. Crucially, they also point out that there are many alternatives to sitting, and that their impact is unlikely to be the same; walking, for example, burns far more calories than standing.
12. What is the text mainly talk about
A. The dangers of long sitting. B. Measures to burn more calories.
C. Disadvantages of standing at work. D. Suggestions from the experts on health.
13. Which is not true according to the text
A. Walking burns far more calories than standing.
B. We are more active than our previous generations.
C. Leg or back pain could be a negative effect of standing all day.
D. Not being able to regulate blood sugar levels can lead to diabetes.
14. Who may burn the least calories
A. A bus conductor. B. A marathon runner.
C. A sitting desk worker. D. A standing office worker.
15. What is other experts’ attitude towards the figure from the last study
A. Ambiguous B. Approving. C. Skeptical. D. Dismissive.
