21、 Why are people interested in eating raw foods or whole foods? One reason is that eating these types of food reduces the risk of acid accumulation in your body． Raw and whole foods are usually digested more efficiently than cooked and refined foods．

When we cook foods，we destroy the natural enzymes(酶)that are part of the food in its raw form．These enzymes were intended by nature to help us digest the food．When we consume food without these natural enzymes，our bodies either digest the food improperly or allow too many nutrients to be absorbed into the bloodstream．In both instances，the result is obesity．When too many nutrients are absorbed at once，the body grows fat．

Processed foods contain chemical elements，which might confuse the appetite mechanism that tells us when we’ve had enough to eat；as a result，people often overeat．Processed foods also upset the digestive cycle．The body will either identify these foods as allergens(过敏原)and then store them safely away from the organs as fat，or the remains of undigested food will become acidic and enter the bloodstream as acid waste，which will stick to the blood vessel walls and block the passage of vital oxygen and nutrients heading for the body's cells．The body's metabolism(新陈代谢)becomes inactive，and the result is weight gain and obesity．

To stop this vicious circle in its tracks，people need to consume food and supplements that will neutralize the acid already accumulated in body．Eating the right types of raw and whole foods can help．It’s also important to restore your enzyme balance．You need to identify and avoid the foods that cause acid accumulation and consume the foods that increase enzyme production．If you truly want to change and help your body heal itself，you need to take an active approach．

【1】It can be inferred from Para．2 that________．

A．foods with natural enzymes help people keep fit

B．we’d better be cautious about raw and whole foods

C．it is essential for people to protect their vital organs

D．giving up cooked and refined foods is a new lifestyle

【2】Processed foods are unhealthy because they________．

A．destroy body's cells

B．may lead to obesity

C．are difficult to digest

D．stop body's metabolism

【3】What is the main purpose of this passage？

A．To warn people of the problem of obesity．

B．To advocate eating more raw and whole foods．

C．To inform people of the harm of processed foods．

D．To tell the differences between raw and processed foods．

【4】The underlined word “vicious” in the last paragraph probably means________．

A．violent B．progressive C．harmful D．positive

22、Well, parents, surprise! Lots of us are using Twitter and Facebook to find rides, and not just to school. It’s awkward to call a friend and ask for a ride, and half the time they’ll say, “Sorry, my car is full.” But with Twitter, you just tweet (贴子,留言) and look for other people heading the same way.

It may sound risky, but many teens stay within their own social circles to find rides, and don’t branch out beyond friends of friends when asking on Twitter. For me, I only rideshare with people I know, but to some young people, especially those taking longer trips, stranger danger is less of a concern.

The sharing economy got big during the recession（经济衰退）. It allows people to access more goods and services using technology, while also allowing them to share cost. And that technology, for me, is what the car was for my mom, a gateway to more freedom.

According to the researchers at the University of Michigan, 30 years ago, eight in ten American 18-year-olds had a driver’s license. Today it’s six in ten. So it’s not that surprising that on my 16thbirthday I wasn’t rushing to get a license. All I wanted was an iPhone. Juliet Schor (Sociology professor at Boston College) knows people my age love being connected and for young people driving means they have to disconnect from their technology, and that’s a negative. So if they could sit in the passenger side and still be connected, that’s going to be a plus.

To me, another plus is ridesharing represents something much bigger than trying to save money. I see it as evidence that people still depend on each other. My generation shares their cars and apartments the way neighbors used to share cups of sugar. For the system to work, some of us still need our own cars. But until I get my own version of the silver Super Beetle, you can find me on Twitter.

【1】The writer usually rideshares with _____.

A.anyone heading the same way B.people he knows

C.friends of friends D.strangers of his age

【2】Fewer young people choose to ride by themselves because _____.

A.driving means offering free rides to others.

B.getting a driving license becomes more difficult.

C.driving one’s own cars causes a negative impression.

D.driving makes them disconnected from technology.

【3】We can conclude from the passage that _____.

A.the writer rideshares just to save money

B.people under 18 are not allowed to drive

C.silver Super Beetle is the writer’s favorite

D.the older generation had to fight for freedom

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

A.Teens use Twitter to thumb rides.

B.Tips on reducing risks in ridesharing.

C.Car is no longer a gateway to freedom.

D.New generation knows how to save money.

23、The number of devices you can talk to is multiplying -- first it was your phone, then your car, and now you can boss around your appliances. Children are likely to grow up thinking everything is interactive. After interacting with Amazon's Alexa 2, my 2 year old son started talking to cup mat. But even without chatty gadgets, research suggests that under certain circumstances, people anthropomorphize (人格化) everyday products.

【1】. In one experiment, people who reported feeling isolated were more likely than others to attribute free will and consciousness to various gadgets. In turn, feeling close relationship with objects can reduce loneliness. When college students were reminded of a time they'd been excluded socially, they compensated by exaggerating their number of Facebook friends -- 【2】. At other times, we personify products in an effort to understand them. One study found that three in four respondents cursed at their computer -- and the more their computer gave them problems, the more likely they were to report that it had "its own beliefs".

So how do people assign traits to an object? In part, we rely on looks. On humans, wide faces are associated with dominance. Similarly, people rated cars, clocks, and watches with wide faces as more dominant-looking than narrow-faced ones, and preferred them -- especially in competitive situations like confronting a former bully at a school reunion. 【3】. An analysis of car sales in Germany found that cars with grilles (前保险杠) that were upturned like smiles and headlights like narrowed eyes sold best.

【4】. Most use symbols that were human or human-like: People (the Marlboro Man) were most popular images, accounting for 21 percent of the total, followed by birds (Twitter), domesticated animals (Morris the Cat), wild animals (Tony the Tiger), and various plants (Mr. Peanut).

A．It's little wonder so many companies use mascots to bring brands to life.

B．Sometimes we see things as human because we're lonely.

C．Some purchasers saw certain features as increasing a product's aggressiveness and friendliness, respectively.

D．There are various images that people use to anthropomorphize everyday products.

E．as if they were treated as real friends in either friendly or aggressive situations.

F．unless they were first given tasks that caused them to interact with their phone as if it had human qualities.

24、As an alternative to online colleges, these online learning platforms tend to be a little more flexible and may even offer more specific or unusual classes you can’t find at a traditional college, but it’s important that you compare your options to find what’s best for you.

Udacity

The programs of the platform mainly refer to web development, programming, cloud computing and data science. Each program includes hands-on practice, real-world applications and examples, individual code reviews, and real instructors and career coaches who can address your individual needs. It’s about $ 399 monthly, or roughly $ 597 if you buy the full four months at once.

MasterClass

Although MasterClass offers more than just creative courses, its well-chosen offerings are the ones that put A-list actors, writers, artists, musicians, and more in the teacher’s seat. Most courses have around 20 lessons. Its courses are video-based, with practical advice and demonstrations mixed in with straightforward lectures, workbooks and class discussions. The price is about $15 per month for unlimited access, but you have to sign up for one year at a time.

EdX

Real college courses, created and taught by real college instructors, are available in a variety of fields and topics. The big selling point for EdX is that the majority of their courses are free—but there’s a catch. If you’re just taking the class for your own learning experience, the free version will probably work, but if you want to have formal verification（认证）for professional reasons, the “verified certificate” option costs about $ 49 per class.

Pluralsight

Designed with working professionals in mind, Pluralsight offers courses in subjects like software development, data science, information security and more. Regardless of how many classes you want to take, the price is about $ 30 per month for a personal plan（you can enjoy a 10% discount for a complete year）.

26、读后续写

Jessie had two days’leave in January this year. She surfed the Internet for cheap travel deals and found the most impressive to be a two-day trip to Dublin. Jessie had never visited Ireland so she knew this was the destination for her.

She arrived in Dublin and headed for her hotel. She was excited. When she found her hotel, she paid her money for both nights in advance. The receptionist (接待员) said that was possibly the smartest thing she had done since she decided to take the trip. Jessie dropped her bags in her room and immediately went out to check out some of the sights. It was getting late as Jessie wandered in the streets and decided that even though she was starving, she would rather wait to have dinner later after having a drink.

She headed into the closest pub. Jessie noticed a rather strange-looking man staring at her from across the room. He walked to her table and asked her in his most polite manner if she would like to have a beer. After about ten seconds of thought, Jessie came to the conclusion that she would and accepted the offer. But she proposed that she should treat him to some fruits. The man smiled and accepted.

Their conversation was mainly about places they had been and places they wanted to go. Jessie soon found out that he was traveling alone too and as soon as he started mentioning that he was staying in the same hotel as her, Jessie swiftly rose from her seat to get another drink.

Searching through her bag Jessie found that her wallet was gone! Immediately she realized she took the wrong bag. Her wallet was in another bag. Jessie didn’t panic at first until it hit her that without it, she had not one penny in hand. She was starving. Worst of all, she had generously proposed a treat to the man.
