26、   If you feel like you can't even consider consuming a candy bar without checking its caloric content, you're right. The same thing goes for just about every piece of packaged food you see in stores, plus every bottled or canned beverage: A Nutrition Facts label shows detailed information on the amounts of fat, sugar, sodium and more found inside. But while your favorite sodas and sandwich fixings have this type of in-your-face transparency, you may have noticed that alcohol is not the case. Why?

The answer lies in the powers behind that. While the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) regulates the safety of food, including non-alcoholic beverages, it doesn't govern the alcohol industry. It is because of the Alcohol and Tobacco Tax and Trade Bureau(TTB), an agency that doesn't require labeling. The reasons behind different labeling requirements of the FDA and TTB go back to Prohibition.

While beer, wine and spirits companies aren't legally required to print the nutritional information on their products, consumer advocates have been calling for the TTB to change that. And it has, sort of. In 2013,the TTB made nutrition labels optional for alcohol. But some health experts don't feel the move was brave enough.

Sara Bleich, a public health researcher, said, “Many adults take in a lot of calories from alcohol, and they have no idea.” Her work revealed that the average American regularly consumes 400 calories a day from alcohol alone. The public should be given the power to make informed decisions about their health.

At present, substances that people might be sensitive to have to be labeled, but other ingredients do not. Wines that contain 14 percent alcohol or more have to display alcohol content, while wines from 7 to 14 percent don't have to list alcohol content. What about wines with less than 7 percent alcohol? Those aren't regulated by the TTB at all—those are under the control of the FDA and so they're required to display Nutrition Facts labels.

Change is going on though, at least the beer industry has agreed to voluntarily display nutrition facts next year. Cheers!

【1】What does Paragraph 2 mainly talk about?

A.The reason why alcohol is free of labeling.

B.The different responsibilities of the FDA and TTB.

C.The influence of Prohibition on the food industry.

D.The historical background of the TTB's establishment.

【2】What did the TTB encourage the alcohol industry to do in response to consumer advocates?

A.Make alcohol products more affordable.

B.Label alcohol products with nutrition facts.

C.Add more nutritional elements to alcohol products.

D.Give consumers a variety of options for alcohol products.

【3】What was Sara Bleich's attitude towards alcohol labeling?

A.Approving. B.Doubtful. C.Concerned. D.Ambiguous.

【4】What can be inferred about the current labeling rules?

A.They are outdated. B.They are unnecessary.

C.They might make people sensitive. D.They are a bit messy and complicated.

27、More and more people around the world are joining in dangerous sports. Some people climbed the highest mountains; some traveled to unknown parts of the world; some sailed small boats across the largest sea. Now some people begin to look for new excitement.

Bungee jumping and motorcycle racing (摩托车赛) are quite thrilling sports. Bungee jumping only lasts for a few minutes or even seconds. You jump from a high place, about 200 meters above the ground, and there is a rubber band (橡胶带子) tied to your legs. When you jump down, the rubber band pulls you up. About 2,000,000 people around the world have tried bungee jumping.

Why do people join in these dangerous sports? Some scientists say that it is because modern life has become safe and it is not interesting. In the past, people lived in danger. They had to go out and look for food, and life was like a fight but was interesting.

Many people think that there is little excitement in life. They live and work in safe places, buy food in shops, and there are doctors and hospitals to look after them if they become ill.

【1】People like to join in dangerous sports because ________.

A．they have a lot of free time

B．they can go to the hospital if they are hurt

C．they need excitement

D．they don’t need to look for food

29、   People in Japan tend to live longer and stay healthier in their later years, with an increasing number of old people living alone. Japan is on a fast track to “ultra-age” with people aged 65 or above accounting for 28 percent of its total population in 2017; it was 26.7 percent in 2015. On the other hand, the number of births in 2017 fell to its lowest (about 941,000) since records began in 1899.

Demand for care services for elderly people has boomed. A shrinking working population means fewer able-bodied adults are available to look after the elderly. There is a shortage of state-provided elderly care facilities (养老院), while private ones are expensive. Any elderly people do not have the heart to burden other family members who may not live nearby. So they choose to live alone, and often die alone.

The country will be short of 380,000 of health nurses by 2025. The government has to turn to advanced robots to meet the shortage. Now about 5,000 nursing homes are testing robots which assist the elderly with a lot of physical issues, even emotional and psychological issues. A study found that using robots encouraged one third of the people to become more active and independent. Yet there is no robot that can provide the emotional support to the elderly by listening to their need, taking care of them and in general making their twilight year (暮年) happy.

Japan provides a case study for China, which is too faced with a fast aging population. 17.23 million babies were born in China in 2017, about 630,000 fewer than in 2016. people aged 60 accounted for 17.3% of China’s population in 2017. With insufficient elderly care facilities and unbalanced supply, China may find it tough to cope with the rapidly increasing number of senior citizens.

To meet the challenge, the Chinese government should make policy changes, which Japan is unwilling or unable to do or even consider. China should pay attention to the signals its aging population is sending and take proper and timely action.

【1】What do you learn about the old Japanese?

A.More and more Japanese choose to live on their own.

B.A lot of old Japanese have to continue working at old age.

C.Most of old Japanese remain active with the help of robots.

D.Japanese aged 65 or above make up one third of its population.

【2】What can be inferred from the passage?

A.The state-provided care facilities in Japan are affordable.

B.The family members do not have the heart to support the elderly people.

C.By 2025, the Japanese government will have brought in advanced robots to completely replace nurses.

D.Robots can make the elderly people more active and independent by providing emotional support to make their twilight year happy.

【3】What is the main idea of the last two paragraphs?

A.Japan has set a good example for China to cope with aging population.

B.China is never too late to deal with its aging population.

C.China is now faced with a fast aging population.

D.Japan’s aging population is a timely lesson for China.

31、

Attitudes toward new technologies often fall along generational lines. That is, generally, younger people tend to 【1】 older people on the front end of a technological shift.

It is not always the case, though. When you look at attitudes toward driverless cars, there doesn't seem to be a clear 【2】 divide. The public overall is split on whether they'd like to use a driverless car. In a study last year, of all people surveyed, 48 percent said they wanted to ride in one, while 50 percent did not.

The fact that attitudes toward self-driving cars appear to be so 【3】 across generations suggests how transformative the shift to driverless cars could be. Not everyone wants a driverless car now-and no one can get one vet-but among those who are open to them, every age group is 【4】 engaged.

Actually, this isn't surprising. Whereas older generations are sometimes reluctant to adopt new technologies, driverless cars 【5】 real value to these age groups, especially to those with 【6】 mobility or difficulty driving on their own.

This is especially interesting when you consider that younger people are generally more interested in travel-related 【7】 than older ones.

When it comes to driverless cars, differences in attitude are more 【8】 based on factors not related to age. College graduates, for example, are particularly interested in driverless cars compared with those who have less education：59 percent of college graduates said they would like to use a driverless car compared with 38 percent of those with a high-school diploma or less.

Where a person lives 【9】 too. More people who lived in cities and suburbs said they wanted to try driverless cars than those who lived in rural areas.

While there's reason to believe that interest in self-driving cars is going up across the board, a person's age will have little to do with how self-driving cars can become 【10】. Once driverless cars are actually available for sale, the early adopters will be the people who can afford to buy them.
