24、   Breakfast is food for the brain. And it’s good even for people worrying about their weight. Middle school students who eat breakfast are more likely to have healthy weight than those who don’t eat breakfast. This is true even for students who eat two breakfasts — one at home and one at school. “Not skipping(跳过) breakfast helps you not overeat later in the day,” says Marlene Schwartz.

One study has found many kids end up eating two breakfasts. People become worried that kids who eat breakfast both at home and at school might become overweight. In fact, Schwartz now says that’s not what her data(数据) have turned up.

Her group studied 600 middle school students. Over three years, students from 12 different schools were asked about their breakfast. About 34 to 44 percent of all students said they usually ate breakfast at home. Almost one in every six kids usually ate breakfast at school. About one in every 10 kids ate breakfast both at home and at school. Eating habits changed as the kids got older. For example, fifth graders were more likely to eat breakfast. But 22 percent of the seventh graders often didn’t eat breakfast. Surprisingly, at every age, kids who ate breakfast were less likely to be overweight. This was true even for those who ate breakfast at home and at school.

The study found no evidence(证据) of greater weight gain among students who ate double breakfasts.

Why should eating two breakfasts not lead to weight gain? The researchers don’t know yet. But one explanation may be that school breakfast is very healthy and controlled in size. So eating that along with the home breakfast may not be bad for most active and growing middle school students.

【1】According to Paragraph 1, why do some people NOT want to eat breakfast?

A.Because they are worried about putting on weight.

B.Because they don’t consider it to be important.

C.Because they are tired of eating breakfast at school.

D.Because they don’t have time to eat breakfast.

【2】Among 600 students that were studied, we can find that ___________.

A.most kids ate breakfast at school B.the kids eating breakfast twice were getting fat

C.more than half of the students didn’t eat breakfast D.seventh graders skipped breakfast more often than fifth graders

【3】What does Schwartz think about eating two breakfasts?

A.All the girls should stop doing it. B.It can be good for most teenagers.

C.We should try our best to eat a second breakfast. D.Eating two breakfasts is just right for the boys.

【4】What does the passage mainly talk about?

A.Eating breakfast twice will make people put on weight.

B.Giving up breakfast is more likely to help lose weight.

C.Having two breakfasts has little to do with being overweight.

D.Having breakfast at home can make kids stay healthy and thin.

25、The word “chicken” is used in so many English idioms. Do you know the following?

Don’t count your chickens before they hatch The expression “Don’t count your chickens before they hatch” means “Don’t expect that all your eggs, which have been laid, will hatch.” “Hatch” is a verb, meaning the baby chicken breaks open the shell of the egg and comes out successfully. So the expression mainly means “Don’t depend on things working out just as you want them to.” this saying appears in the story The Milkmaid and Her Pail in Aesop’s Fables.

A chicken-and-egg situation

In history, philosophers(哲学家) and scientists have met this dilemma(困境): Which came first, the chicken or the egg? Aristotle thought that both the bird and the egg must have always been there. However, more recently, scientists such as Stephen Hawking have argued that the egg came before the chicken. In common speech, the term “a chicken-and-egg situation” means “a situation where it is impossible to say which of two things appeared first and which caused the other one.”

Don’t be such a chicken

There seems to be an idea in English, somehow, that a chicken is a scared bird. Maybe that’s not fair as most birds will probably fly away from you if you go towards them. But “Don’t be such a chicken” means “Don’t be so scared and get a bit more courage.” So if your friend to do something, you can say to him or her, “Don’t be such a chicken. Just have a try!”

【1】The underlined word “hatch” means “________” in Chinese.

A. 孵化 B. 长大 C. 破碎 D. 出售

【2】We may say “don’t be such a chicken” to someone when he _________.

A. is good at math

B. has difficulty making a choice

C. hopes things will work out just as he wants

D. is not brave enough to do something

【3】Which idiom can be used when we can’t make a cause-and-effect relationship clear?

A. Don’t count your chickens before they hatch.

B. Chicken feed.

C. A chicken-and-egg situation.

D. Chicken out.

【4】What does the writer think of the idioms?

A. Interesting. B. Terrible. C. Meaningless. D. Useless.

【5】The passage is probably from the section of ________ in a newspaper.

A. health B. geography C. nature D. culture

26、   Have you ever heard of e-waste, which can be produced every day？How do you deal with your computers, MP4 players and mobile phones when they're broken or you want a new one？

Most people just throw them away. With the development of electric industry, e-waste pollution has become a serious problem. According to the United Nations, in 2014, people around the world produced 41.8 million tons of e-waste and only recycled 6.5 million tons. The US was the biggest waster, producing 7.1 million tons. China came second, with 6 million tons.

It's important to pay attention to e-waste. It can either be valuable or harmful, depending on how we deal with it. E-waste is a valuable urban mine. The value of the metals, like gold and silver in the waste around the world, is amazing. And the metals can be reused. But if people throw them away, the toxic（有毒的）chemicals can get into the earth or air, affecting the environment and people's health.

Apple, for example, now recycle people's used products in China when they are buying new ones. The company will test and repair the used ones and sell them at lower prices. To help reduce e-waste, we can also take computers and phones to see if companies offer recycling programs.

【1】How many tons did the people around the world produce e-waste in 2014?

A.6.15 million tons B.7.1 million tons

C.41.8 million tons D.6 million tons

【2】The following can become e-waste EXCEPT ______.

A.textbooks B.mobile phones C.MP4 players D.computers

【3】If people throw the metals away, the toxic chemicals can get into the earth or air, it will be ______ to people's heath.

A.good B.helpful C.valuable D.harmful

【4】Which statement is TRUE according to Paragraph 4?

A.The recycle Apple products will be sold at higher prices.

B.Some companies offer to recycle the used electronic products.

C.It's better to keep the unwanted electronics in your bedroom.

D.Buying longer lasting electronic products is a good way to reduce e-waste.

27、Have you ever been swimming in a pond, stream, or lake and had a leech(水蛭) stick on you? You probably shouted and tried to force it away as fast as you could. But leeches aren’t really sick, and sometimes they can save lives.

In ancient Egypt and later medieval(中世纪) Europe, doctors put leeches on patients. They believed that the spineless wormlike living things can cure all kinds of illnesses by sucking(吮吸) a patient’s blood. In Europe and in the United States, millions of leeches were used throughout the 1800s. Doctors used leeches to treat a number of illnesses, from obesity to headaches. People soon learned that leeches could not cure most diseases and were not a good treatment for patients. However in 1985, a Harvard University doctor changed people’s thinking once again. He was trying to reattach(重新接上) a patient’s ear, which had been cut off. He had trouble reconnecting the veins because the patient’s blood kept clotting(凝). He used a leech to draw out the blood and saved the ear.

Since then, leeches have often been used in surgery where body parts are reattached. During surgery, a leech is placed on the area where the surgeon does not want the blood to pool and clot. Then the leech produces a thing that keeps the veins(静脉) open and stops the blood from clotting. The leech sucks up excess blood, allowing fresh blood to flow, which helps the patient get well.

Some people are scared to death at the thought of having a blood sucking thing attached to them. But why not welcome a leech if it can save your life?

【1】What is the passage mostly about?

A．Patient’s interest in leeches.

B．How and where leeches live.

C．The medical uses of leeches.

D．Leeches in ancient medicine.

【2】When were leeches first used?

A．In medieval Europe.

B．In ancient Egypt.

C．In 1985 by a Harvard University doctor.

D．In the 1800s in Europe and in the United States.

【3】When a leech is placed on a patient, which one happens first?

A．The leech produces a thing.

B．The patient’s veins open.

C．The patient’s blood flow faster

D．The leech sucks up excess blood.

【4】Why did a doctor in 1985 decide to try using leeches?

A．He needed a way to close the wound.

B．He wanted to change people’s thought.

C．He believed in the mystery of nature.

D．He needed to keep blood from clotting

28、   What is pop culture? Well, the word " pop" is short 【1】popular. Pop culture includes popular movies, television shows, music stars, sports stars 【2】so on. Pop culture is often improved by business and advertising.【3】most common examples of pop culture can often be found among high school and college students. That's because trends set by famous people can quickly become part of young people's lifestyles.

American pop culture 【4】spread around the world recently. One of the major reasons is that English is an international language. Since language and culture go together, learning English means learning about the culture of English-speaking countries. Also, America is a world leader in movies, music and magazines. The kind of American culture communicated in them is pop culture. Finally, pop culture is easy 【5】 " sell" to the world.
