Foods to Eat to Burn More Calories
WATERMELON
Watermelon is brimming with B vitamins which boost your energy levels and curb your need to munch
on an extra snack. A cup of diced watermelon contains 46 calories and virtually no fat. Watermelon is a rich
source of potassium, dietary fiber, protein, vitamin A, magnesium, vitamin C, and iron.
Watermelon is one of powerful foods to eat to burn more calories. Watermelon is also high in lycopene,
the antioxidant that lower your risk of macular degeneration, heart disease, and cancer. With 90 percent water,
watermelon is filling you up, but are not filling you out. Enjoy fresh watermelon juice, smoothie, or use it any
summer fruit salad you like.
GRAPEFRUIT
Grapefruits speed up your metabolism and help burn a lot of calories. This fruit will help feel full faster
and longer. According to the U. S. Department of Agriculture National Nutrient Database, one half of a
grapefruit contains around 53 calories. Moreover, grapefruit is rich in fiber that may help stabilize your blood
glucose levels. You can add grapefruit to your fruit salad, smoothies or drink a grapefruit juice.
CELERY
The secret of celery is very simple: it contains less calories and helps burn more than you eat. Celery
mostly consists of water and that’s why it is good as a part of a balanced diet.
However, this food is not suitable for celery diet only as your body won’t get the necessary minerals and
nutrients. So the best decision will be to combine it with some other foods.
WHOLE GRAINS
Studies show that whole grains are healthier than refined grains and that they lower the risk of getting a
chronic disease. This type of grains is also a good part of a diet as it takes more time to digest and you won’t
get hungry for a longer period of time. Whole grains are rich in various vitamins, minerals and carbohydrates
but low in fat.
GREEN TEA
Rich in antioxidants green tea boosts your metabolism and helps lose weight, which is just fantastic for
ladies, isn’t it? Simply enjoy a cup of hot fragrant green tea and do a great favor to your body.

The 2020 Nobel Prize in literature has been awarded to former U.S. Poet Laureate (桂冠诗人 ) Louise
Gluck. The prize committee cited “her unique poetic voice that with plain beauty makes individual
existence universal”. Gluck is the first American woman to win the award since Toni Morrison in 1993.
Gluck, 77, joins a list of literary giants and previous Nobelists who include, in this century, Canadian
short-story master Alice Munro, Chinese magical-realist Mo Yan, etc.
Gluck’s work includes 12 collections of poetry and a few volumes of essays on literary writing. “All
are characterized by a striving for clarity (清晰 ). Childhood and family life, the close relationship with
parents and siblings, is a theme that has remained central to her,” Anders Olsson, the chairman of the Nobel
Committee for Literature, said. “She seeks the universal, and in this she takes inspiration from myths and
classical motifs,” Olsson added, citing her 2006 collection Averno, which the committee described as
“masterly” for its “visionary interpretation of the myth of Persephone’s (珀尔塞福涅 ) fall into hell in the
captivity (囚禁 ) of Hades (哈得斯 ), the god of death”.
Being a professor at Yale and a resident of Cambridge, Gluck also served as U.S. Poet Laureate from
2003 to 2004 and is no stranger to awards. She won the Pulitzer Prize in 1993 for her collection of poems
titled The Wild Iris, in which “she describes the incredible return of life after winter in the poem
Snowdrops,” the Nobel literature committee said Thursday. She also won the 2014 National Book Award
for the poem Faithful and Virtuous Night. In 2016, President Obama awarded the National Humanities
Medal to Gluck in a White House ceremony.
The publicity-shy Gluck did not immediately issue any comment about the latest honor for her body of
work, which spans more than half a century. In a 2012 interview, she acknowledged that prizes can make
“existence in the world easier” but did not amount to the immortality (不朽 ) of a true artist.
24. What can we know about Gluck from Paragraph 1?
A. She is as popular as the Chinese novelist Mo Yan.
B. She won the Nobel Prize for her special literary style.
C. She is the first American to win a Nobel Prize in literature.
D. She has made friends with Poet Laureates Alice Munro and Mo Yan.
25. What do Gluck’s poems mainly focus on?
A. Careers. B. Nature. C. Daily life. D. Classical myths.
26. What is the purpose of Paragraph 3?
A. To present Gluck’s outstanding achievements.
B. To reveal Gluck’s great passion for writing.
C. To list Gluck’s contributions to literature.
D. To stress Gluck’s influence on other poets.
第 4页 / 共 10页


27. What does Gluck think about the honor she has received?
A. She is content with it.
B. She takes it very seriously.
C. She is a little dissatisfied with it.
D. She doesn’t attach great importance to it.
C
Recently a new network word “ghost” is popular on line, which refers to a sort of Internet social
behavior that your net friends or loved ones don’t answer your online messages or phones on purpose as if
leaving the earth. Thus you often wonder whether those chatters are ghosts or pretending to be dead. This
behavior is called ghosting in the English world, which means “playing with disappearance”.
“Ghost” is better known as a noun referring to spirits of the dead, but “ghost” used as a verb which
means “to disappear suddenly like a ghost”, or “play with disappearance” is relatively unknown. Finally,
owing to its high using frequency online, this usage has been added to the Oxford Dictionary of
Contemporary English.
Playing with disappearance or ghosting also has different grades. Wendy Walsh, a professor of
psychology from Boston University told us, “There are different grades of ghosting: If you just read on
social software but never answer, you are only a lightweight ghosting player; if you meet a person several
times but try to avoid him, you are an ordinary ghosting player; if you let your partner fall in love with you,
but you suddenly disappear; which will give the other a heavy blow, you are a heavyweight ghosting
player.”
Why are some people accustomed to this kind of escapist social behavior? The Times reports that
ghosting has a lot to do with how comfortable people feel and how they deal with their emotions. When
they are in a complex interpersonal relationship, or it is too heavy for their weak mind to carry, they will
have to choose to escape.
When you find yourself being ghosted, you may lose your self-respect, question yourself, or even
hesitate to start the next friendship or love. How to get out of this emotional trouble? It’s important to
remember that when you’re ghosted, it’s the other’s fault rather than yours. In addition, it’s good to risk
telling others how you really feel, even if it’s not what they want to hear. Have you ever been ghosted?
What do you think of this way of dealing with a relationship?
28. Which sort of the following Internet social behavior can be described as ghosting?
A. Leaving your friend after a quarrel.
B. Love breaking up after a fight.
C. Missing after getting friends’ money.
D. Not replying to net friends on purpose.
29. According to professor Walsh, if you just read but never reply online, you are a( n) player.
A. heavyweight ghosting B. non-ghosting
C. lightweight ghosting D. ordinary ghosting
30. Which paragraph tells us the reasons why people are used to ghosting?
第 5页 / 共 10页


A. Paragraph 2. B. Paragraph 3. C. Paragraph 4. D. Paragraph 5.
31. How should you deal with it when you are ghosted according to the writer?
A. Search out their identification on the Internet and reason with them.
B. Never blame yourself and pour out your trouble to others bravely.
C. Keep the trouble in mind and never tell others about it.
D. Turn to psychologists or police for help rather than feel upset.
D
People often plan to receive medical exam but don’t, resulting in increasing health care cost. A
surprising number of citizens mean to complete tax forms in time but forget to, forcing them to pay
unnecessary fines. Many families miss the government deadline to complete financial aid forms, losing out
on aid available for child care.
How can policymakers help people follow through on important tasks? They use carrots and sticks:
bonuses, late fees, or regulations. These methods can be clumsy, and often aren’t effective for the situation
at hand. Reminding people to form simple plans, however, provides a low-cost, simple, and powerful tool.
Evidence is growing that providing prompts (提示 ) , which push people at key times to think through
how and when they will follow through, make people more likely to act on tasks of importance. In one
early randomized study on tetanus vaccination (破伤风疫苗 ) rates, for example, a team of social
psychologists showed that 28% of Oxford University seniors got the shot after being encouraged to review
their weekly schedules and to select a possible time to stop by the health center. They were also given a list
of times when shots were available and a map showing the health center’s location. Only 3% of the seniors
got the shot when simply informed about how effective the shots were.
People who make a plan gain an advantage from their psychological forces. Specifically, they can
overcome the tendency to put off as well as the tendency to be overly optimistic about the time it will take
to accomplish a task. Imagine Sarah who wants to renew a car insurance, but it will require two hours of
travel to and from a garage. Making a plan may lead her to take two hours off and have her responsibilities
covered by her colleagues while she is away. Moreover, she will be less likely to underestimate the time
needed to accomplish the task — a particularly common problem for complex tasks.
People mistakenly believe that their strong intentions are enough to push them to perform desired
behaviors. These psychological research results stress the need for policy decisions that encourage plan
making and improve social welfare.
32. What phenomenon is described in Paragraph 1?
A. Failure to achieve original intentions.
B. Lack of task management skills.
C. Disappointment of over-ambitions.
D. Heavy burden of daily chores.
33. What does the randomized tetanus vaccination study show?
A. People need to think deeply before they act.
B. Awareness of task significance matters in planning.
第 6页 / 共 10页


C. Specific reminders help people accomplish plans.
D. Seniors need encouragement to have vaccination shots.
34. What psychological benefit can people get from making a plan?
A. They are realistic in the time required.
B. They are optimistic about the outcome.
C. They are confident to overcome hardship.
D. They are careful with task arrangements.
35. Who may be the intended readers of this text?
A. Medical staff. B. Government officials. C. Ordinary people. D. Social psychologists.

第二节 (共 5小题 ; 每小题 2分,满分 10分)
根据短文内容,从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项,选项中有两项为多余选项。
请将答案写在答题卷上。
Imagine that you are in a remote village somewhere with no medical clinic. 36 Once the
doctors get to you, they examine you and take blood samples, but they won’t be able to help you until they
take the samples back to the hospital to find out what is wrong. 37 Thanks to engineer Andy Ozcan,
many people may never be in this situation. He has invented an app that turns your mobile phone into a
diagnostic tool.
Ozcan’s invention is important because it is very accurate and easy to use. In many remote places,
even if doctors have microscopes and other instruments to help them make diagnoses, there may still be
other problems. Many doctors, for example, don’t have enough training to correctly interpret what they see.
38 With Ozcan’s mobile phone app, health workers can take a special photo of a blood sample and
send it to a central computer at a hospital. The computer will then automatically interpret the photo and
send a diagnosis back in a few minutes.
39 His technology only requires a mobile phone and an Internet connection. As more than four
billion people already have cell phones, the cost of establishing the diagnostic system is fairly low.
By inventing a medical tool that uses existing technology---mobile phones---Ozcan has developed a
medical tool that is both practical and economical. Therefore, it can be effectively used almost anywhere.
40
A. Another reason that Ozcan’s invention is important is that it is inexpensive.
B. Even though you may only have a simple infection, you might die because of the delay.
C. People are trying to reduce the cost of this new medical tool.
D. Ozcan’s simple, cost-effective tool might just save millions of lives around the world.
E. This tool has become much more popular all around the world.
F. You become very sick and must wait days until a mobile medical unit arrives to help.
G. As a result, they may diagnose illnesses incorrectly.

Reduce Waste on Campus
Last week, we took part in an activity aimed at reducing waste on Campus. Held in the schoolyard and
第 1页 / 共 4页


lasting for 3 hours, the activity attracted over 400 students as well as some teachers.
During the activity, there were a lot going on, among which two major events were most impressive.
We watched an educational video in which the light was left on in empty classrooms, much uneaten food
was thrown away, and water was kept running with nobody around. In another event, all the participants
worked in groups to make posters that could remind us to stop every trivial wasteful behavior and cherish
everything in hand.
Through this meaningful experience, we’ve realized how severe the situation is and how urgent it is
for us to spare no effort to make a difference.

W: Well, mine is broken and I haven’t taken it to the repair shop. You know I just wanted to send a quick
e-mail, so I used yours, and I’m really sorry!
M: What did you delete?
W: I don’t know, just a file that was open. I thought it was mine. Sorry Bill!
M: Oh, never mind. It wasn’t important. Don’t worry about it.

W: Hello, Mr Smith’s office.
M: Oh, hello. Could I speak to Mike Smith, please?
W: I’m afraid he’s not at his desk at the moment. I think he’s gone out to lunch. He’ll be back in about half
an hour. Shall I get him to call you as soon as he comes back? Or do you want to leave a message?
M: Actually, could you possibly give me his mobile number? It’s quite urgent.
W: I’m really sorry, but I am not allowed to.
M: Is there any chance of you ringing him for me and asking him to call me back?
W: Certainly, I can do that for you. Could I have your name, please?
M: Yes, it’s Sam Dalgamo.
W: OK, Sam. I’ll ring him straight away. Goodbye.

W: I’m calling for some information. I’d like to find out about your services for hotels.
M: OK. Can you tell me a little more? What type of hotels?
W: Well, a chain of four and five-star hotels. We’re based in Switzerland, but on your website you don’t
have an operator in Switzerland, so I thought Italy was the nearest.
M: That’s right, yes. We are in Florence.
W: Good. Well, we’re interested in updating our current fitness rooms for guests. Our current equipment’s
rather out of date and our customers often comment on this.
M: OK. How many hotels are we talking about?
W: We currently have eight hotels with fitness equipment, and three others that need it.
M: And what budget do you have for this?
W: That’s difficult to say, actually. Would it be possible for someone to come and have a look?
M: Yes, of course. Actually, we’re coming to Switzerland next month. We already have a customer in
Zurich. Is that near you?
W: Not too far. I’m in Bern. It’s only a couple of hours away.
M: Fine. Can we arrange a meeting then?
W: Sure. Let’s see...

the way, if you haven’t already signed next to your name on our attendance lists — they’re on the table at
the entrance to the school hall—be sure to do it on your way out. Remember, this meeting is a must for you,
so you need to make sure we know that you’re here. All right, to begin, we’re going to be talking about
health and specifically the procedures that you have to go through in order to get your student visas for
your host country. For all of you, this will include gathering health information, such as proof from your
doctors that you’re not suffering from any serious diseases that may pass to others. All the information that
each of you will need can be found in your host country handbook that you received when you were
accepted into the program. Also, each one of you is required to meet with a doctor at the student health
center who is specialized in travel medicine. The health center can give you information about appointment
times, but be sure to book your appointment early, because the specialist is only at the health center at
certain times. To have the benefit, you should have your meeting at least 4-6 weeks before your trip.
