21、   Almost everyone agrees on the hot dog basics: a long bread roll with a hot sausage inside it. And that’s what has led to a big question — is a hot dog a sandwich, or is it in a special category of its  own?

“People have really strong opinions on both sides,” says Eric Mittenthal, president of the National Hot Dog and Sausage Council (NHDSC). In November, the council published an official announcement ruling that the hot dog is not a sandwich. It argues that the hot dog is too significant to be considered “just a sandwich.” The council admits that the hot dog was once the “Frankfurter sandwich,” but says that people no longer use that name. Today, no one would call a hot dog eating contest a sandwich eating contest.

But others disagree. The U.S. Department of Agriculture (USDA) includes a sausage inside a bread roll in its sandwich category. But it also calls the food a “sandwich type product”. In May, dictionary publisher Merriam Webster said that the hot dog is a sandwich. The Merriam Webster’s Collegiate Dictionary, 11th Edition, defines a sandwich as “two or more slices of bread or a split roll having a filling in between” or “one slice of bread covered with food”. The announcement fueled a heated debate among hot dog fans. If hot dogs are sandwiches, where do you draw the line? Are burritos (玉米馅饼) sandwiches too?

This debate won’t stop Americans from eating piles of hot dogs this summer. During peak hot dog season — from Memorial Day to Labor Day — Americans will eat about 7 billion of them. That’s  818 hot dogs consumed every second. People love hot dogs so much that in 2015, a hot dog emoji was released so people can easily tweet or text an image of the famous food. This may come in handy soon, since July is National Hot Dog Month.

【1】Who thinks that the hot dog is special enough to be in a category of its own?

A.USDA. B.NHDSC.

C.The author. D.Merriam-Webster.

【2】What do some hot dog fans think of the definition of a sandwich in the mentioned dictionary?

A.It seems too wide. B.It is quite satisfactory.

C.It is obviously too narrow. D.It is difficult to understand.

【3】What does the underlined word “emoji” probably mean?

A.A small image used in electronic communications that symbolizes something.

B.A poster used to advertise hot dogs.

C.A toy given by a hot dog seller.

D.A facial expression posted on a letter as a stamp.

【4】Which of the following can be the best title for the text?

A.The history of hot dogs. B.Different kinds of sandwiches.

C.Do Americans really love hot dogs? D.Is a hot dog a sandwich?

22、Nearly a week after Stephen Hawking passed away, people even in remote parts of the globe showed up in memory of this great British scientist. Mr. Hawking, best known for his study of black holes, is respected for not allowing a physical disability to limit his mental brilliance. Yet in a sign of the state of humanity, he is also being held up as a hero for humble and intense curiosity, not just for the truth about the physical universe but for universal truths.

In 2017, a Texas-based data company called Global Language Monitor found “truth” to be the “word of the year” among English-speakers. A debate over the nature of truth “is currently quite fashionable,” the company’s analysis found. Besides, two runner-up words were “narrative” and “post-truth.” And in a January report about “truth decay (衰败)”, the RAND Corporation, a research organization, found the loss of trust in key institutions has left “people searching for new sources of credible and objective information.”

In countries with a free press, journalists have gathered to fact-check comments by politicians. Harvard University now offers a free one-hour online course to help people “better distinguish good information from bad” in hopes that they will not “share the bad.” Tech giants such as Facebook are being forced to fix truth filters (过滤器) on their online platforms. A report this month for the European Commission says that the online sites “are becoming increasingly important as both enablers and gatekeepers of information.” They should reveal how their algorithms (计算程序) select news items, the report stated.

Many nations have come to see honest information as strategic wealth. “Truth matters”, says Mike Pompeo, Secretary of State. “Relying on Twitter feeds and news reports will prove totally insufficient when policymakers have to make some of the most difficult decisions they face.”

Giants of scientific discovery such as Hawking have long been role models for seeking truth beyond their profession. “In recent years I realized that Hawking has become a symbol for mankind,” says physicist Bobby Acharya. “People looked to him for reason and truth.” The tribute rolling in for the man is actually a widespread desire for light over darkness, for truth over all the “black holes” of misinformation campaigns.

【1】What does the “word of the year” in 2017 suggest?

A．A large number of people want solid facts.

B．Stephen Hawking is a great British scientist.

C．People are uninterested about the nature of truth.

D．Global Language Monitor is a popular company.

【2】What are tech giants being required to do?

A．Provide users with valuable information.

B．Check the comments made by politicians.

C．Avoid false information on their platforms.

D．Cooperate with the European Commission.

【3】The underlined word “tribute” in the last paragraph is closest in meaning to ______.

A．challenge

B．admiration

C．opportunity

D．unfairness

【4】What would be the best title for this text?

A．Gatekeepers of information

B．Giants of scientific discovery

C．The impact the “word of the year” has

D．The light Stephen Hawking leaves behind

23、   Rushing to work, watching the stock (股票) market drop daily working long into the night on a project, all of these situations can build up stress. Stress in such situations means pressure, conflict, loss of control, and uncertainty. These feelings can lead to a variety of problems. 【1】

What is stress? Stress is your body's physical and psychological response to anything you regard as overpowering. This may be viewed as a result of life's demands, and your lack of resources to meet them. 【2】 This additional energy cannot be destroyed. If not used, it creates an imbalance within your system. Somehow the energy must be channeled into responses to regain a balance.

【3】 Without some stress you would lose your energy for living. You will do well on certain amounts; but too much or too little stress will limit your effectiveness. Ideally, you find your best level of stress---the balance at which you are most motivated.

【4】 It can make you spend your efforts on not being unhappy, rather than on being happy. You can become negatively influenced in your attitudes and feelings about your life more easily.

In addition, medical research estimates as much as 90 percent of illness and disease is Stress-related. 【5】 High blood pressure and heart disease have been linked to stress factors. Most health professionals agree stress can be a contributing factor in making existing medical problems worse.

A．These different attitudes influence a person's reaction to stressful situations.

B．That is why stress such an ugly ring.

C．Stress is a natural part of your life.

D．In each person's life there are uncertainties.

E．When stressed, your body creates extra energy to protect itself.

F．Stress can have a bad effect on your physical functioning and bodily processes.

G．Too much stress influences your daily life.

24、Modern life brings us many things to worry about, and you may come across a friend or two reminding everyone to “just breathe.” But can just breathing really make a difference?

“The rate and depth we breathe at has a huge effect on our mental state,” says Elissa Epel, a professor from San Francisco. Researchers like Epel are exploring how breathing can help people reduce anxiety and they find that breathing could be an overlooked key to finding more calm and peace.

In a 2017 study, highly anxious people were asked to take a breath course and to practise twice a day at home. After eight weeks, they reported feeling less anxious compared to a group that didn’t receive the training. They also showed physical signs of reduced anxiety, including lower heart rate.

A regular breathing practice might help you feel calmer in your everyday life. But other studies suggest that focusing on your breathing in moments of acute stress could also be useful.

In an older study, researchers told participants that they were going to receive electric shocks, which actually never happened. Some of them practised breathing slowly before the shocks, while others focused on breathing at a normal rate or didn’t regulate their breathing at all. The slow breathers not only reported feeling less anxious while expecting the pain, but also showed lower anxiety on a physical level, as measured by sweat and blood flow to the fingers.

Another study following the study above tested three different breathing styles: fast inhaling (吸入) with slow exhaling; slow inhaling with fast exhaling; or evenly paced inhaling and exhaling. Here, the fast inhaling with slow exhaling (2 seconds in, 8 seconds out) was the most effective at relieving both the physical and mental anxiety.

All these studies show how much influence our body has on our mind. If the way we’ re breathing is signaling to our brains that something is wrong, it’s no wonder we feel anxious.

【1】What do researchers like Epel find?

A．Most people have mental problems.

B．People ignore the effect of anxiety.

C．Life gives people too much stress.

D．Proper breathing can bring people peace.

【2】What happened to the people who practised breathing for eight weeks?

A．Their bodies became stronger.

B．Their hearts beat faster.

C．They got less anxious in daily life.

D．They had a better sleep.

【3】What can we learn from the older study?

A．The normal breathers feel less anxious.

B．Sweat shows a good physical level.

C．Slow breathing can relieve real-time anxiety.

D．Blood flow can cause anxiety.

【4】What is paragraph 6 mainly about?

A．The similarities of three breathing methods.

B．The influences of breathing on anxiety.

C．The styles of changing breathing.

D．What the best breathing way is.
