【题目】The number of overweight people around the world is increasing. For example, in China the number rose from 9 percent to 15 percent between 1989 and 1992. The increases in Latin America and Europe were similar. However, the most worrying statistic is the increase in the number of overweight children. In America, almost 33 percent of children under five are overweight. In some parts of Europe, the rate is almost 30 percent. Even developing countries have problems. In Egypt, Chile and Armenia, for example, the rate is over 5 percent.

The problem is the change in our diets combined with the change in our lifestyles. We used to eat whole grains, vegetables, and fruit. Now we eat foods that contain a lot of fat and sugar. Experts(专家) say that it isn't surprising that people eat too much of the wrong foods. Everywhere we look there are advertisements for high-calorie, high-fat foods. These foods are low in nutrition but also low in cost. In other words, they may not be good for us, but they are really cheap. Some experts call this a toxic-food(有毒的食品) environment. Most of us do not realize this unhealthy environment. Therefore, we believe if we are fat, it's our responsibility. This is not completely true.

Today, many food companies are focusing on developing countries. In 1998, one soft-drink company told its employees that "Africa is a land of chance for us." The largest American fast-food company opens five new restaurants every day; four of them are located outside the United States.

It is terrible to think that we may soon live in a world where everyone eats fast food and drinks soda. However, it is not unavoidable. Governments should educate their people about the dangers of eating the wrong food. This is particularly important for tomorrow's adults.

1The numbers in Paragraph 1 are used to show ________.

A. the overweight problem B. the increase in population

C. the effects of being overweight D. the problems in developing countries

2It can be inferred from the text that food advertisements ________.

A. cause food prices to rise B. often give people useful information

C. affect the development of the food industry D. are partly responsible for overweight people

3What is the text mainly about?

A. Advertisements and life. B. Being overweight and its reasons.

C. Modern lifestyles and their effects. D. Being overweight and the environment.

One day, I got up late. While I was busy gather my books, Father came in with a glass of milk in his hand for me to drink. I was in such a hurry that I paid no attention to whether the milk was hot or not. I drank a mouthful of them and cried. The milk was so hot that my tongue hurt. Father turned around and went back to the kitchen in a hurry without an apology. I was very angry with Father. When I went to a kitchen to get my breakfast, I was astonished at which I saw.

【题目】With the development of our society, cell phones have become a common part in our lives. Have you ever run into a careless cell phone user on the street? Maybe they were busy talking, texting or checking updates on We Chat without looking at what was going on around them. As the number of this new “species” of human has kept rising, they have been given a new name-phubbers (低头族).

Recently a cartoon created by students from China Central Academy of Fine Arts put this group of people under the spotlight. In the short film, phubbers with various social identities (身份) bury themselves in their phones. A doctor plays with his cell phone while letting his patient die, a pretty woman takes a selfie (自拍) in front of a car accident site, and a father loses his child without knowing about it while using his mobile phone. A chain of similar events finally leads to the destruction of the world.

Although the ending of the film sounds unrealistic, the damage phubbing can bring is real. Your health is the first to bear the effect and result of it. “Always bending your head to check your cell phone could damage your neck,” Guangming Daily quoted doctors’ words. “The neck is like a rope that breaks after long-term stretching.” Also, staring at cell phones for a long time will damage your eyesight gradually, according to the report.

But that’s not all. Being a phubber could also damage your social skills and drive you away from your friends and family. When getting together with family or friends, many people prefer to play their cell phones while others are chatting happily with each other and this creates a strange atmosphere, Qilu Evening News reported.

It can also cost your life. There have been lots of reports on phubbers who fell to their death, suffered accidents, and were robbed of their cell phones in broad daylight.

1Why does the author give the example of a cartoon in Paragraph 2?

A. To suggest phubbers will destroy the world

B. To call for people to go walking without phones

C. To tell people of the bad effects of phubbing

D. To advise students to create more cartoons like this

2According to the passage, what risks may a phubber have?

Destructing the world

Affecting his social skills

Damaging his neck and eyesight

Getting separated from his friends and family

A. ①②④ B. ②③④

C. ①③④ D. ①②③④

3What’s the author’s attitude towards phubbing?

A. Supportive B. Confident

C. Disapproving D. Optimistic

4What will be talked about in the following paragraph?

A. Ways to avoid the risks of phubbing B. Bad effects of pudding

C. Daily life of phubbers D. Methods of phubbing
