21、Since the 1990s, scientists have understood that missing sleep can harm someone’s health. Yet a little more than one in every three U.S. adults reported sleeping fewer than the recommended seven hours a night. Weekends may seem like a great time to catch up on sleep. Scientists, however, were not sure that it would work. So Christopher Depner, a sleep physiologist at the University of Colorado and his colleagues decided to test it out.
The team looked at three groups of people in their mid-20s. For roughly two weeks, one group slept about eight hours every night. Another group only got about five hours of shuteye a night. The third group slept some five hours each weeknight, but could sleep whenever and however much they wanted over the weekend.
Participants who got too little sleep every night gained weight. So did the weekend sleep-in crowd. By the end of the experiment, people in both groups had gain an average of 1.5 kilograms. Depner says this could be because losing sleep affects hormones (激素) that control hunger. Since weekend-catch-up sleepers both woke up later and went to bed later, they shifted their body’s internal clocks, as a result of which, they may have gotten hungry later. During the workweeks, both groups ate roughly 400 to 650 calories in late-night snacks.
But the groups were different when it came to insulin (胰岛素) sensitivity — if a person is highly sensitive to this hormone, his metabolism (新陈代谢) is healthy. After a weekend of playing catch up on sleep, those who had slept too little on weeknights showed significant drops in insulin sensitivity in their liver and muscle cells. Neither of the other two groups responded this way.
Peter Liu, a doctor who studied hormones at the University of California, once studied people who reported getting too little sleep. Yet he found that a few extra hours of sleep improved their insulin sensitivity. So the latest study, he cautions, “is not the final word on this important topic.”
【1】Based on what were the participants divided into three groups?
A.Their living habits.
B.Their reasons of sleep loss.
C.Their state of health.
D.Their sleep schedule.
【2】What did Depner’s study find?
A.Sleep loss can lead to a low metabolic rate.
B.Sleep time is determined by the body clock.
C.Lack of sleep can make people get fatter than before.
D.Catching up on sleep on the weekend is beneficial for the health.
【3】Who suffer greatly in terms of insulin sensitivity according to Depner’s study?
A.Those having trouble sleeping.
B.Weekend-catch-up sleepers.
C.Those getting too little sleep.
D.Late-night sleepers.
【4】What is Peter Liu’s attitude to Depner’s study results?
A.Doubtful.
B.Favorable.
C.Uncaring.
D.Supportive.

24、Global fast-food giant McDonald’s announced it would be phasing out (逐步淘汰) plastic straws (吸管) in China. The move is expected to reduce plastic waste by about 400 tons a year. According to the announcement, from June 30, nearly 1,000 stores in Beijing, Shanghai, Guangzhou, and Shenzhen began to phase out plastic straws for both dine-in and take-out, expanding to all stores in China by the end of 2020. Diners would drink cold beverages directly through the new cup cover.
Zhang Jiayin, CEO of McDonald’s China, expressed that McDonald’s is devoted to building up an environmentally friendly “beautiful China”. “We believe that taking advantage of McDonald’s influence worldwide, reducing straws can be a huge step for sustainable development. In the past decade or so, we have continued to carry out the green packaging action.” Zhang said, “This movement is playing a positive role in the protection of the ecological environment.”
The move is in keeping with China’s national plan to phase out single-use plastics which came into effect in January of this year, in an effort to combat its growing trash problem.
Among other things, the government carries out a nationwide ban on plastic straws, disposable cutlery (一次性餐具), as well as plastic bags in major cities by the end of 2020, and nationwide by 2022.
Plastic has increasingly played a role in global solid waste, and has choked oceans and rivers as well as landfills. Both companies and volunteers in the past few years have taken it upon themselves to respond to this plastic problem in their own ways.

26、书面表达请阅读下列文字和图表,并按照要求用英语写一篇150词左右的文章。
When was the last time you had fun with your parents? Your parents are all busy during working days; during the weekends, you may want to hang out with them but they may have to work extra hours.
This is not uncommon. In China, both of the parents have their jobs. Most of the parents try their best to offer their children comfortable circumstances, but they seldom have time to stay with their children. A recent survey done in the US found that more than half of American parents spend less than three hours having fun with their children each week.
As the Daily Mail noted: Families are spending little quality time creating bonds and precious memories together during the week because of the demands of modern life.
