On May 28th, we observe World Hunger Day. It is an effort to focus attention on 1fact that despite there being enough food globally, some 21,000 people die every day from hunger.

People do not go hungry because the world does not produce enough food for everyone. According to the world Hunger Education Service, recently the percentage of people 2cannot get enough food chronically(长期地)has reduced from 34% to 15%. The main problem is that many people in the world still do not have resources3 (purchase) or grow enough food.

Indeed, hunger4 (be) a result of poverty, and also one of its causes. Hunger exists because many countries lack social safety nets; because in many countries women, although they do most of the farming, do not have as much access 5 men to training or land.

Over the past decade, a global push to reduce hunger and extreme poverty6 (mark) some significant successes, partly thanks7 the efforts of many international8(organization). But on world Hunger Day, let us not forget that with over 815,000 people still9 (live) in daily food insecurity, we still have a long way to go before we can 10(safe) say that no child goes to bed hungry most nights.

【答案】

1 the

2 who/that

3 to purchase

4 is

5 as

6 has marked

7 to

8 organizations

9 living

10 safely

【解析】

试题这是一篇说明文。528日是世界饥饿日,饥饿仍然是第一杀手,其所导致的死亡率要高于艾滋病、肺结核、疟疾的总和。饥饿产生的主要原因在于:世界上的很多人没有资源,无法购买以及种植粮食。在世界饥饿日这一天,作者号召大家牢记消除饥饿我们仍有很长的一段路要走。

1考查冠词。由下文that引导的同位语从句可知,此处特指“尽管几乎全球各地都有充足的粮食供应,但在全球范围内依然有近2.1万人每天死于饥饿或营养不良”。故填the。

2考查定语从句。“__2____ cannot get enough food ”是定语从句,先行词是 people,从句中作主语,指人,用关系代词who/that。故填who/that。

3考查非谓语动词。“__3____(purchase) or grow enough food.”作目的状语,用不定式形式,故填to purchase。

4考查动词的时态。句意:诚然,饥饿和贫困互为因果。主语hunger是第三人称单数,讲述现在存在的事实用一般现在时,谓语动词也用单数。故填is。

5考查固定搭配。句意:因为在很多国家,虽然女性承担了大部分农活,但却没有与男性一样的机会获得培训和土地。as...as...“和……一样”是固定搭配。故填as。

6考查动词的时态。句意:过去10年来,全球推动减少饥饿与赤贫取得了一些重大进展。由时间状语Over the past decade可知,句子表示过去发生的动作对现在造成的影响和结果,用现在完成时,主语a global push是第三人称单数,故填has marked。

7考查介词。句意:……部分多亏了无数的国际组织的努力。thanks to“多亏”是固定短语。结合句意,故填to。

8考查名词。形容词修饰名词,由numerous修饰用复数。故填organizations。

9考查非谓语动词。分析句子成分可知,空格处是宾语从句,谓语动词是have,空格处考查with+宾语+宾语补足语复合结构,用非谓语动词,peopleliving是主动关系,用现在分词作宾语补足语表示主动关系,故填living。

10考查副词。修饰动词say用副词作状语,safe是形容词,副词形式是safely。故填safely。

People have all turned to sad music to make themselves feel better at some point in their lives, 1why does the music with double or even triple sadness help drag people out of low spirits?

A new study throws light on what's going on inside people’s brains when they match their music to their feelings, and it looks as if sad music can be enjoyable, rather than 2(simple) depressing. Music of this sort can arouse positive memories in people’s life , thus3(lift)their mood.

Psychologist Adrian North from Curtin University in Australia says there 4(existence) two groups of possible explanations for why people enjoy listening to sad music like this---one from social psychology, and the other from cognitive neuroscience(神经学).

5terms of social psychology, one idea about this is that people will feel 6(good) about themselves if they focus on someone who's doing even worse. Everything's going to be okay, because this person is having 7even worse day than they are.

Another idea from social psychology is that people like to listen to the very music 8shows their present life circumstances, because this kind of music makes them feel they are understood. With their emotions9(share), they definitely get a certain amount of comfort.

So, the 10(conclude) again—sad music does cheer people up, and it works far better than happy music, in most cases.

【题目】 The time children spend outdoors could be linked to a reduced risk of being short-sighted, research suggests.

An analysis of eight previous studies by University of Cambridge researchers found that for each additional hour spent outside per week, the risk of short-sightedness was reduced by 2%.They said exposure to natural light and time spent looking at distant objects could be key factors.

The studies involved more than 10,000 children and adolescents. Dr Justin Sherwin and his research team concluded that short-sighted children spent an average of 3.7 fewer hours per week outdoors than those who either had normal vision or were far-sighted.

But they said the reasons were not yet clear. They expected to find that children who spent more time outdoors also spent less time doing activities like reading, studying or playing computer games, but no such link was found in two of the eight studies which looked at this relationship.

However, Dr Sherwin said they would now need more precise data to try to understand which factors, such as increased use of distance vision, reduced use of near vision, natural ultraviolet(紫外线的) light exposure and physical activity, are most important.

“Any increase in time spent outdoors must be weighed against exposure to ultraviolet radiation and the increased risk of skin cancer, cataracts(白内障)and other cancers.” he said."On the other hand, increasing outdoor physical activity could protect against diabetes and obesity, for example."

Short-sightedness is a common eye condition that causes distant objects to appear blurred(模糊不清的), while close objects can be seen clearly. It is much more common today in the UK and the United States than it was just 30 to 40 years ago. Approximately 1-2% of five-year-olds to seven-year-olds in the UK have short-sightedness. About. five million British people are short-sighted and some 200,000 of them will be seriously short-sighted. In some parts of Asia, more than 80% of the population suffers from short-sightedness.

1The underlined word “precise” in the fifth paragraph shares the closest meaning with .

A.accurateB.strong

C.specificD.precious

2According to the passage, short-sightedness may have something to do with the following except .

A.obesityB.exposure to natural light

C.looking at distant objectsD.time spent outdoors

3The last paragraph is mainly developed by .

A.giving definitionsB.showing figures

C.presenting argumentsD.making comparisons

【题目】 Utah Lake is, in a word, disgusting. The State of Utah has worked with many partners and spent millions of dollars in an attempt to restore Utah Lake. It has indeed produced some active effects. However, due to the wastewater getting into itthis body of water is rich in nutrient and home to water bloom. Overfishing and the introduction of invasive species have only made the problem worse. In the summer of 2016500 people in Utah complained about their headaches, skin rashes and discomfort after swimming in the lake.

The Utah Lake Restoration Project is headed by Parker. He imagines a beautiful lake dotted with man-made islands where a community could be built. Parker frequently goes to Capitol Hill to push for the proposal of the comprehensive lake restoration. Parker follows his rules "big ideas are worth approaching"as the project calls for lake digging, the creation of islandsthe removal of invasive species to restore the habitats of native plantsfish and so on.

Speaking of the Utah Lake Restoration ProjectBen Holcomb said, "It is not quite in line with reality.” He added"Despite impressive computer models and the current project report the Utah Lake Restoration Project lacks the actual field research to show that this project will have a positive effect on the lake's ecosystem.”

When asked how the public would help beautify Utah Lake, the lake's official workers suggested picking up garbage. However, it has a greatly limited effect on the overall health of the lake. Parker's plan may seem like the state's best chance to restore Utah Lake, but in reality the Utah Lake Restoration Project lacks the facts necessary for this sort of proposal. The State of Utah should propose some suggestions for the revision of the plan and offer the Utah Lake Restoration Project the access necessary to conduct research which could be compared with their theoretical findings. Only then can the State of Utah make an educated decision on behalf of people and resources.

1What can we learn from paragraph l

A.The State of Utah has tried to restore Utah Lake.

B.It is not difficult to save Utah Lake for the State.

C.People living around Utah Lake are healthy and happy.

D.People don't swim in Utah Lake because of its pollution.

A.To build a community near Utah Lake.

B.To make the water of Utah Lake rich in nutrient.

C.To make Utah Lake popular with foreign tourists.

D.To build a safe home for native creatures in Utah Lake.

3What's Ben Holcomb's attitude towards the Utah Lake Restoration Project?

A.Doubtful.B.Optimistic.

C.Unconcerned.D.Approving.

4What does the author intend to tell us in the last paragraph

A.Picking up garbage is the key to saving the whole lake.

B.There's no proper way to save the health of Utah Lake.

C.Parker's plan needs some field research and adjustment.

D.Local people should take responsibility for saving Utah Lake.
