26、   More than 80% of adolescents worldwide are not active enough, putting their health at risk by sitting focused on a screen rather than running about, say World Health Organization (WHO) researchers

The proportion of inadequate active girls in 27 countries rose to more than 90% in 2016, the latest year for which figures are available. There was a significant gender gap. Girls lag behind boys in physical activity, in all but four countries- Afghanistan, Samoa, Tonga and Zambia.

The WHO says the situation is serious and that urgent action must be taken to get adolescents moving, with inactivity posing a great threat to their current and future health. Physical activity is important to the development of bone, muscular strength, and heart and lung health. It helps young people avoid obesity, heart disease, cancers and diabetes (糖尿病) . There is growing evidence that it helps cognitive (认知的) development.

“This is not the good start in life that we would want for our children and adolescents,” said Bull.“The data are worrying for all-parents, the community and the health system.”

Although schools provide sports, they are often under pressure. But Bull said communities and sporting associations can help, and towns can be better planned to encourage active living. Parental encouragement and providing a role model is also valuable.

Besides, a culture change is required, according to the WHO global action plan on physical activity, because there are disadvantages and unintended consequences to the use of digital media. It involves excessive (过度的) amounts of time spent on phones, laptops and gaming devices. The electronic revolution has fundamentally transformed people’s movement patterns by changing where and how they live, learn, work, play and travel. Gradually and eventually, it isolates people indoors.

【1】Why do so many adolescents have healthy problems?

A．They are not active enough.

B．They like to run about.

C．They are used to sitting.

D．They often risk travelling.

【2】In which country do less girls take part in physical activities than boys?

A．Afghanistan.

B．Samoa.

C．Zambia.

D．China.

【3】Which benefit of physical activity is still uncertain?

A．Development of bone.

B．Muscular strength.

C．Heart and lung health.

D．Cognitive development.

【4】What is WHO’s attitude to the use of digital media?

A．Unconcerned.

B．Favorable.

C．Worried.

D．Objective.

27、   Shortly after the war, my brother and I were invited to spend a few days with an uncle who had just returned from abroad. He had rented a cottage in the country, although he seldom spent much time there. We understood the reason for this after our arrival: the cottage had no comfortable furniture in it, many of the windows were broken and the roof leaked, making the whole house damp.

On our first evening, we sat around the fire after supper listening to the stories which our uncle had to tell of his many adventures in distant countries. I was so tired after the long train journey that I would have preferred to go to bed; but I could not bear to miss any of my uncle's exciting tales.

He was just in the middle of describing a rather terrifying experience he had once had when there was a loud crash from the bedroom above, the one where my brother and I were going to sleep.

'It sounds as if the roof has fallen in! ' cried out my uncle, with a loud laugh.

When we got to the top of the stairs and opened the bedroom door, we could see nothing at first because of the thick clouds of dust which filled the room. When the dust began to clear, a strange sight met our eyes. A large part of the ceiling had fallen down, falling right on to the pillow of my bed. I was glad that I had stayed up late to listen to my uncle's stories, otherwise I should certainly have been seriously injured,perhaps killed.

That night we all slept on the floor in the sitting room downstairs, not wishing to risk our lives by sleeping under a roof which might at any moment fall down on our heads. We left for London the very next morning and my uncle gave up his cottage in the country. This was not the kind of adventure he cared for either!

【1】Why did the uncle seldom spend much time in the country cottage?

A.Because he was used to living abroad.

B.Because there was no furniture in it.

C.Because the cottage was in bad condition.

D.Because the roof of the cottage was falling.

【2】When they opened the bedroom door, they could see nothing at first because ________.

A.there was too much dust in the air

B.something strange blinded them

C.it was completely dark inside

D.it was too bright inside

【3】The writer felt glad that he had stayed up late because ________.

A.he saw a strange sight

B.he did not miss the exciting stories

C.he spent more time with his uncle

D.he had a lucky escape

28、In Frank Schätzing’s 2004 novel The Swarm (《群》), sea life develops a collective mind of its own. Whales band together to attack ships, while groups of jellyfish (水母) swallow the shores. It’s as if ocean creatures decided to jointly fight humanity to try to get back their environment.

Scientists say that this scene isn’t made up. Animals do move in groups governed by the collective. Think of a flock of birds, a line of ants, a group of fish — all crowds like those imagined by Schätzing, if not quite as deadly. “Animals regulate these vast collective structures without any leadership, without any individual animal knowing the whole state of the system,” says Nicholas Ouellette an engineer. “And yet it works fantastically well.”

Deborah Gordon, a biologist, studies how ants make collective decisions, such as when and where to hunt for food. A red harvester settlement typically has some hunters waiting in the nest while others hunt out. Studying these ants in New Mexico, Gordon showed that they leave the nest at a rate determined by how often hunters return with food. The more food is available the more often hunters return to the nest; this starts more ants leaving the nest. But if little food is available, the process will throttle down.

Working with computer scientist Balaji Prabhakar, Gordon found that information flowing among the ants was similar to the way the Internet protocols (协议) regulate the rate of data transport depending on how much bandwidth (宽带) is available. The scientists named this naturally produced algorithm (算法) the “Anternet”. The Anternet information seems to help the settlement to search efficiently.

Studies of collective behaviour in birds, ants and fish have meanings for humans. Engineers can take lessons from animals that swarm effectively together to build better swarms of small robots.

And understanding how ants collectively adapt to changes in their network, such as when a tree blows down, could help researchers develop flexible rules for robots working in an unfamiliar environment such as in a burning building. “That’s a lessor for engineering,” Gordon says.

【1】Why does the writer describe the scene of The Swarm?

A．To warn people of the danger of sea life.

B．To recommend the special novel to readers.

C．To prove human damage to the environment.

D．To stress the effect of animal group behavior.

【2】The underlined part “throttle down” in paragraph 3 probably means “______”.

A．go down

B．slow down

C．break down

D．set down

【3】What can be known about the Anternet?

A．It’s a flexible problem-solving rule.

B．It’s a method of ants finding way home.

C．It’s a flow of data about Internet protocols.

D．It’s a net to collect information among ants.

【4】What does this passage mainly talk about?

A．Observing nature for interesting engineering

B．Adapting to the change of the animals’ habitats

C．Learning from the collective wisdom of animals

D．Understanding the various behaviours of animals

29、Children in the United States eat too much pizza that some researchers now argue the food should join the ranks of sugary drinks and fast food for the harm they do to health．

 In a new study, the researchers found that pizza is a large source of calories, saturated fat(饱和脂肪)and salt in children’s diets．Children should not eat more than two slices of pizza for a meal，and should pair that with salad, rather than with another high-calorie food，the researchers concluded．

 “Parents should aim to control pizza consumption(消费), particularly as a snack where it was shown to have a very adverse impact on children, and they should put their pizza dollars toward healthier brands．”Said Lisa Powel, director of the Illinois Prevention Research Center．

Pizza has become a matter of focus in recent years for researchers who look at the meals children eat, rather than the nutrients within them．Studies have found pizza is among the greatest sources of calories for children．

 “Since pizza remains a common part of children’s diet, we need to make ‘healthy’ pizza．”Powel said．To make pizza healthier, food producers should reduce its saturated fat and salt, and increase its whole grain content,” she said．

 Whether or not pizza is harmful enough to be picked out as an unhealthy food, the study attracts attention to a larger issue with the modern American lifestyle, said Alexis Tindall, who was not involved in the flow research. “Many foods are eaten too frequently and in large sizes,” said Tindall．To solve the problem, people don’t have to give up eating pizza, but instead, they can eat smaller and healthier pizza，”she said．

 “Make it at home, instead of ordering it out where you don’t have any control over how it’s made.” Tindall said. “When we make it at home, we can choose healthier ingredients，increase the vegetables, reduce fat, and put in less cheese．Pizza doesn’t have to be just pepperoni(意大利辣香肠)and cheese．”

【1】According to the research, children shouldn’t eat ．

A. more than two slices of pizza in a day

B. two slices of pizza for a meal

C. pizza along with salad

D. more pizza with French fries

【2】Powel suggests healthier pizza should be made ．

A. with more ingredients   B. with less salt

C. in smaller sizes   D. at home

【3】The last sentence of the passage implies that pepperoni and cheese   ．

A. are necessary ingredients of pizza

B. are not the only healthy ingredients of pizza

C. should all be replaced with healthier ingredient．

D. should be reduced by adding healthier ingredients．

【4】What is the best title for the passage?

A. Pizza—a real junk food!

B. How to prepare better meals for your kids?

C. Discover the harm of eating pizza

D. Bring in healthier pizza for Americans

30、Monday started out great. I woke up on time, ate breakfast and did some last minute studying for my first hour math test. Ten minutes later, I sat by my friends on the bus. We were busily chatting about how we spent our weekend when, THUMP! Ryan ________ over someone’s foot and landed flat on his face in the passage between the two rows of seats.

But he didn’t. ________, Ryan offered me his jacket to cover up my ________ jeans. He also offered me his phone so that I could call my mom to bring me some jeans. I thanked Ryan for his help.
