With low or no carbohydrate diets gaining in popularity in recent times，the potato is now regularly overlooked in favour of other vegetables.In fact，research literature has previously indicated potatoes may have a detrimental effect on health，such as increasing the possibility of developing Type 2 diabetes(糖尿病)．
However，new research done by Edith Cowan University(ECU) has shown while potatoes may not have all the same benefits as some other vegetables，such as lowering risk of Type 2 diabetes，health issues associated with potatoes may actually be due to how people are preparing them and what they’re eating them with.
A recent analysis of this study led by Dr Nicola Bondonno from ECU’s Nutrition and Health Innovation Research Institute found people who consumed the most vegetables were 21 percent less likely to develop Type 2 diabetes than those who consumed the least vegetables.PhD candidate Pratik Pokharel carried out working on the analysis and said while potatoes didn’t have the same impact on Type 2 diabetes，they also didn’t have any negative effect.
“In Denmark，people consume potatoes prepared in many different ways.In our study，we could distinguish(区分) between the different preparation methods.When we separated boiled potatoes from mashed potatoes(土豆泥)，fries or crisps，boiled potatoes were no longer associated with a higher risk of diabetes—they had a zero effect，” said Pokharel.
“In our study，people who ate the most potatoes also consumed more butter，red meat and soft drinks—foods known to increase your risk of Type 2 diabetes，” said Pokharel.“We should separate potatoes from other vegetables in regard to messaging about disease prevention but replacing refined grains such as white rice and pasta(意大利面食) with potatoes can improve your diet quality because of fibre and other nutrients found in potatoes.”
1．What does the underlined word “detrimental” in paragraph 1 mean
A．Magical. B．Protective. C．Fantastic. D．Negative.
2．What may contribute to the bad reputation of potatoes according to ECU’s research
A．The effects they have caused.
B．The ways they are consumed.
C．The places where they are planted.
D．The results previous studies have shown.
3．Which of the following have little effect on diabetes
A．Fries. B．Crisps. C．Boiled potatoes. D．Mashed potatoes.
4．What is Pokharel’s attitude towards potatoes
A．Critical. B．Opposed. C．Indifferent. D．Objective.

Food waste may result from lifelong habits.__1__ Follow these tips to reduce unnecessary food waste in your household and save money along the way.
Plan your meals.When you don’t know clearly what you want to eat，it’s easy to pick up more than you need，especially when items are on offer.Plan your meals for the week in advance to avoid unnecessary food waste.__2__
Store your products correctly.A lot of fruit and vegetables spoil before you eat them.__3__ For example，potatoes，carrots and other root vegetables last longest if kept in the dark.Fresh fruit and vegetables，like grapes or onions，shouldn’t be kept with ethylene producing products as they make other fresh produce ripen and rot(腐烂) more quickly.You can also find many ways to keep your perishables fresh by using water.
Get creative with leftovers.For those times when planning fails you and you end up with leftover meals in your fridge，instead of throwing them out，think about inventive ways to transform them.__4__ Think twice before you toss items like meat bones，which form the perfect basis for stock or a soup throughout the winter.
__5__ Do you always buy the same things every time you are in the supermarket，yet every week you have things you throw away Note down the products in the bin time and time again，so that you can avoid buying them (or so much of them) in the future.

A
Graduation is a significant milestone for everyone.An 89 year old man called Rene Neira had been trying to finish a degree since the 1950s.However，in the 1960s，he was so passionate about urban and economic development of the south side of San Antonio that he stopped school and got involved with the local government.From that time，one of his life goals was to earn a degree in economics.In 2017，the grandpa and his 19 year old granddaughter both enrolled(入学) at the University of Texas at San Antonio.
“There were times when we would get lunch together，be in the library together，and just work silently side by side，” Melanie Salazar，Rene’s granddaughter，recalled.“He always had something to say，especially if his professors had different opinions than him，” Melanie said.“And there were often times when a professor would invite him to talk about the past.”
Rene’s college years weren’t easy.“He has worked very hard over time.Especially in recent years，with hearing loss and going through seasons of not having a car，there was a term where he had to take medical leave because he had a stroke，so he couldn’t go back to school that term，” said Melanie.
After four years，their hard work finally paid off—they graduated.Together，they stood on the stage.Everyone broke into applause and cheered for this fantastic pair.
Their story has been making waves online.People have nothing but good words for them.“Awww...I love stories like this.This was such a beautiful moment.Congratulations to both of them.Grandpa definitely demonstrated that one shouldn’t give up their dream no matter how long it takes，” one wrote.Another wrote，“I’m motivated to go back to school myself，thanks to his example.”
Rene had the determination to finish his degree even at an advanced stage in his life.Hard work，patience，and determination are the keys to success，especially when the path is not easy or clear.
1．Why did Rene fail to get a degree when he was young
A．He was not interested in university life then.
B．He devoted himself to city development.
C．He needed to work to support his family.
D．He was not good at his school work.
2．How was Rene’s college life
A．It made him physically ill. B．It was full of surprise.
C．It was smooth and plain. D．It came with challenges.
3．What did people think of Rene’s experience
A．Admirable. B．Doubtful. C．Funny. D．Pitiful.
4．What lesson can we learn from Rene’s story
A．Actions speak louder than words.
B．It is never too late to achieve one’s dream.
C．Genius without education is like silver in the mine.
D．A journey of a thousand miles begins with a single step.

This fall，students at the University of Massachusetts found a new menu at their dining commons: the “diet for a cooler planet” menu.This meant herb roasted lamb，raised with a carbon friendly approach.It included sweet potatoes that had been picked from a local farm’s field post harvest.The options were plant heavy，locally grown，and involved little or no packaging.
“We wanted to let students participate in climate action by making choices about their food，” says Kathy Wicks，sustainability director for UMass Dining.The university is not alone in this effort.Increasingly，American consumers and institutions are thinking about how their food choices factor into climate change.For many，small choices at the grocery store，dining hall，and restaurant can feel more accessible than big ticket options like buying a fuel efficient car or installing home solar panels.
Small changes in dietary habits may make a big difference.Climate activists often target fossil fuels and transportation systems，but studies point to the food system as a significant contributor to global warming.According to Project Drawdown，a research organization that evaluates climate solutions，the way food is grown，transported，and consumed accounts for about a quarter of the world’s greenhouse gas emissions.Beef is a regular target.“If，on average，Americans cut a quarter pound of beef per week from their diet，it’s like taking 10 million cars off the road a year，” says Sujatha Bergen，director of health campaigns for the Natural Resources Defense Council.Food waste ranks third among climate solutions.While much waste occurs before consumers are involved—food is left on the field or thrown away because it does not fit appearance standards—Americans also throw out a lot of food they have purchased：about $1,600 worth a year per family of four.
“People are beginning to understand that their food choices make a big impact on climate，” says Megan Larmer，director of regional food at the Glynwood Center for Regional Food and Farming in New York.But she cautions substantial change will need to come from the whole food system.
5．Why did the University of Massachusetts adopt the new menu
A．To promote low carbon awareness.
B．To reduce the cost of food packaging.
C．To popularize the plant heavy diet.
D．To market the local farming products.
6．What can be inferred from paragraph 2
A．Food choices matter much to climate change.
B．Food is a decisive factor in global warming.
C．Universities are working together in climate action.
D．Fuel efficient cars are not affordable for consumers.
7．What does Sujatha Bergen say about beef
A．It is popular among millions of car drivers.
B．It has a great influence on carbon reduction.
C．It plays a significant role in American diet.
D．It accounts for a quarter of the greenhouse gas emissions.
8．Which of the following can be a suitable title for the text
A．Global Warming: A Disastrous Threat B．Low Carbon Diet: A Craze，or More
C．Carbon Emission: A Killer，or Healer D．Food System Reform: A Successful Trial

You are just waking up in the spring of 2030.Your Internet of Things bedroom opens solar powered e windows and plays gentle music while your smart lighting displays a montage(剪辑) of beachfront sunrises from your recent vacation.
Your shower uses very little water or soap.It recycles your grey water and puts the extra heat back into your home’s operating system.While you dress，your artificial intelligence(AI) assistant shares your schedule for the day and plays your favorite tunes.
You still start your day with a coffee but it comes from your refrigerator which is capable of providing a coffeehouse experience in your home.A hot breakfast tailored to your specific nutritional needs based on chemical analysis from your trips to the “smart toilet” is waiting for you in the kitchen.

A
There is more of a connection between food and culture than you may think.On an individual level，we grow up eating the food of our culture.It becomes a part of who we are.Many associate food from our childhood with warm feelings and good memories and it ties us to our families，holding a special and personal value for us.Food from our family often becomes the comfort food we seek as adults in times of frustration and stress.
On a large scale，traditional food is an important part of culture.It also operates as an expression of culture identity.Immigrants(移民) bring it wherever they go，and it is a symbol of pride in their culture and means of coping with homesickness.
Many immigrants open their own restaurants and serve traditional cuisine.However，the food does not remain exactly the same.Some ingredients needed to make traditional cuisine may not be readily available，so the taste and flavor can be different from what they would prepare in their home countries.Additionally，immigrants do not only sell cuisine to people from the same countries as them，but to people from different countries.Therefore，they have to make small changes to the original cuisine to cater to a wider range of customers.Those changes can create new flavors that still keep the cultural significance of the cuisine.
We should not only embrace our heritage through our culture’s food but also become more informed about other cultures by trying their food.It is important to remember that each dish has a special place in the culture to which it belongs，and is special to those who prepare it.Food is a window into culture，and it should be treated as such.
1．What’s the function of the traditional food
A．It helps motivate homesickness.
B．It shows culture identity.
C．It reflects a country’s history.
D．It shows a community’s superiority.
2．Why do some immigrants have to change the original dishes in their restaurants
A．To attach cultural importance to their dishes.
B．To announce the beginning of their life on foreign soil.
C．To make the dishes popular among customers.
D．To present their own food culture in a new way.
3．What’s the author’s attitude towards different food cultures
A．Negative. B．Balanced. C．Unfair. D．Unchangeable.
4．Which column does the passage come from
A．Space. B．Science. C．Food. D．Entertainment.
B
She could have just quit.The race was long decided，and it was raining cats and dogs.But Bou Samnang was running for her country—Cambodia—so she kept going，racing alone on a track in Phnom Penh.And for that，she is being clapped as an inspiration.“I tried to reach the finish line because I wanted to show people that in life，even though we go a bit slow or fast，we will reach our destination all the same，” she said afterward.
News of Bou Samnang’s persistence(坚持) spread rapidly: videos of her finishing the women’s 5,000 meter race at the Southeast Asian Games went viral mitted to running for her country，she raced despite struggling with illness.“I knew I was losing.The rain was so heavy.I had the right to abandon the race，but first I have a duty to represent Cambodia.So I did not give up.”
Cheers and encouragement followed Bou Samnang as she neared the finish line，almost six minutes behind the winner.The athlete said later that she was disappointed to finish last but also happy to hear people supporting her—and surprised that the video caused such a stir.
Since last week’s race，Bou Samnang has continued to win fans in Cambodia and beyond.Prime Minister Hun Sen announced a $10,000 reward for her determination.Over the weekend，she returned to Morodok Techo Stadium to train and pose for photos with fans.As for what she will do with the money，she said she wanted to pay off her mother’s debts.
The runner’s persistence was noted by Cambodian King Norodom Sihamoni，who said he was proud of her for reminding everyone that sports are about more than winning and losing.The SEA Games，hosting athletes from 11 nations in the region across 581 events，are closing soon.

Ⅱ.七选五(共5小题；每小题2.5分，共12.5分)
According to a common saying，“Honesty is the best policy.”__1__ Lying often seems like a good way to impress people or avoid blame for mistakes.Some people lie out of habit，without even realizing they’re doing it.But despite all this，honesty really is worth the effort.
One obvious reason for honesty is that lies are difficult to maintain.There’s always a chance that the person you lied to will find out the truth.__2__
Lies are also difficult to hide because they are harder to remember than the truth.If you make up a story，you have to remember all the details.__3__ But if you commit to telling the truth，you will never have trouble remembering.This saves you effort and makes conversations less stressful for you.
Another obvious reason to avoid lying is that lying can harm others.People who believe your lies might make bad decisions because of them.And a lie about someone else could destroy that person’s reputation.On a personal level，if your friends find out you lied to them，their feeling will be hurt.They will question whether they can trust you or wonder whether you care about them.In contrast，if you always tell the truth，you will develop a reputation for honesty.__4__ Business deals，friendships，family and romantic relationships all depend on trust.
__5__ Sometimes it’s best to remain silent if your words might hurt someone else.Honesty means that when you speak，you tell the truth without holding any information back.When you do that，you will feel more relaxed and enjoy stronger relationships.
A．But in daily life，honesty can be difficult.
B．This will help you in every area of your life.
C．Is the gain from lying really worth the risk
D．Being honest is a basic principle for us to deal with others.
E．We will get others’ respect and appreciation if telling the truth.
F．And the more lies you tell，the more stories you have to remember.
G．Honesty，however，doesn’t mean you have to say everything in your mind.

Eating a traditional Mediterranean type diet—rich in foods such as seafood，fruit，and nuts—may help reduce the risk of dementia(痴呆) by almost a quarter，a new study has revealed.Experts at Newcastle University found that individuals who ate a Mediterranean like diet had up to 23% lower risk for dementia than those who did not.The research，published in the journal BMC Medicine，is believed to be one of the biggest of its kind as previous studies have typically been limited to small sample sizes and low numbers of dementia cases.
Scientists analyzed data from 60,298 individuals from the UK Biobank，including individuals from across the UK，who had completed a dietary assessment.The authors scored individuals based on how closely their diet matched the key features of a Mediterranean one.The participants were followed for almost a decade，during which time there were 882 cases of dementia.
The authors considered each individual’s genetic risk for dementia by estimating what is known as their polygenic(多基因的) risk—a measure of all the different genes that are related to the risk of dementia.They found that there were similar associations between sticking to Mediterranean diet and dementia risk in individuals with higher and lower genetic risk for this condition，which may indicate that even for those with a higher genetic risk，having a better diet could reduce the likelihood of developing the condition.
Dr Janice Ranson，joint lead author on the paper，said，“Dementia impacts the lives of millions of individuals throughout the world，and there are currently limited options for treating this condition.Our study shows a Mediterranean diet that has a high intake of healthy plant based foods may be important for future strategies to reduce dementia risk.For example，the dementia prevention efforts could go beyond general healthy diet advice and focus on choosing specific foods and nutrients.”
The authors caution that their analysis is limited to individuals who self reported their ethnic background as British or Irish，as genetic data was only available based on European countries，and that further research is needed in a range of populations to determine the potential benefit.
1．What is special of this study
A．It has a great many participants. B．It has got a satisfying result.
C．It hasn’t been published yet. D．It is based on the Mediterranean.
2．What is mainly talked about in paragraph 3
A．The result of the study. B．The objects of the study.
C．The experts’ prediction. D．The individual difference.
3．Why is the Mediterranean like diet recommended to prevent dementia
A．Because it is rich in all kinds of nutrients.
B．Because it has an influence on one’s genes.
C．Because there are few treatments for dementia.
D．Because no other diet has been found effective.
4．What will further research most probably focus on
A．Using the findings as a treatment for dementia.
B．Finding more benefits of the Mediterranean diet.
C．Studying the rate of dementia in different age groups.
D．Involving participants of diverse nationalities.

Ⅰ.阅读理解(共8小题；每小题2.5分，共20分)
A
Herbert George Wells was born in England in 1866.He did not come from a rich family.His parents had a small shop but it was not successful and closed when he was thirteen.He worked at different times in a clothes shop and a chemist’s.He always read a lot and later managed to get a place at a science college.After he left there he became a teacher，but he was badly hurt while playing football and this meant that he could not continue.He then worked in London，writing for newspapers and doing some teaching of small groups.None of this made him much money.
The Time Machine was his first fictional work.It appeared in weekly parts in a magazine in 1894 and as a book the following year.At the time，Wells was married to his second wife and was trying to support both her and her mother.He needed to make money，so he wrote it quite quickly.Although he was never really happy with the finished book，it was a great success and allowed him to continue as a writer.
It is not easy for us to understand how different this book was from others of the time.It is the first real science fiction book.It introduces the readers to the idea of time as the fourth dimension，with the three dimensions of space ten years before Einstein made it part of scientific thinking.Wells also describes a simple mechanical answer to the problem of time travel—a time machine.Nobody had ever described time travel in a machine before，and the words “time machine” entered the English language.
After the great success of this book，Wells wrote more science fiction.His most famous books are The Island of Dr. Moreau(1896)，The Invisible Man(1897)，The War of the Worlds(1898) and The First Men in the Moon(1901)．All of them have been filmed，some more than once.H.G.Wells died in London in 1946.

Personal growth doesn’t necessarily only happen when the conditions are perfect.Seeds tend to develop only when conditions are right.A seed will remain dormant(休眠) until moisture(湿度) and temperature are favorable for growth.Unfortunately，as humans，we don’t always have the luxury of growing when conditions are just right.Sometimes you must cultivate(促进) personal growth and flower where you’re planted，often in spite of external(外部的) circumstances.
For much of my life，I let external circumstances control my happiness.If things weren’t going well，then I wasn’t well.I told myself that I would be happier if conditions were right.With this mindset，I gave myself permission to stay emotionally dormant.I was waiting for things around me to change before I would do the work to become a better version of myself.In other words，I made my personal growth conditional on external circumstances.
The problem with waiting for change outside of yourself is that you might have to wait a very long time，maybe even forever.And if you stay dormant while waiting，you aren’t growing.You’re simply stuck in place.You certainly aren’t becoming the better version of yourself that you want to be.
If you want to engage in personal growth，like planting seeds，you have to do some work to make it happen.You can’t wait around for everything to fall into place.Start with pulling up your emotional weeds.Examine yourself and remove the pessimistic thoughts and behaviors that are holding you back.Then，work on the foundation that you have.Practice positive life habits that build your self respect and happiness.
Personal growth is something you can fight for.It may not come naturally，but when you develop this mindset，you will flower no matter where you’re planted.
5．What is the author’s purpose in writing the first paragraph
A．To stress the importance of personal effort in growth.
B．To complain about the lack of perfect conditions.
C．To highlight the influence of external circumstances.
D．To compare human development and seed growth.
6．Which of the following affected the author’s growth most in the past
A．Personal experiences. B．Outside influence.
C．Sense of timing. D．Positive thoughts.
7．What does the author advise you to do to better yourself
A．To look for the right conditions. B．To get emotionally prepared for failures.
C．To stop waiting and take action. D．To keep yourself pure through gardening.
8．What is the best title for the text
A．Happiness: You Are Your Own Master
B．Life Journey: Insist till Efforts Bear Fruits
C．Growth: Flower in Any Circumstances
D．Life Changes: The Chance Is in Your Possession
