Rose, a neat, well-dressed, dark-haired young woman carries out her work at an office in a business park near Cambridge and spends hours studying pictures of children being abused. She watches the images again and again, looking for the tiniest details that might deliver a young victim from hell.

Nearly 44 percent limited sports drinks, compared to 28 percent in 2006. “Schools should have nutrition standards that provide students with healthy choices,” the CDC suggested.‎ About 16 percent of US children and young adults aged 2 to 19 are obese. Obesity raises the risk for heart disease, diabetes and high blood pressure, and obese children are very likely to remain obese as adults.‎ The government has asked schools to help control how much access students have to junk food that can add calories without much nutrition. In the USA, such things are often controlled by local school boards.‎ From 2004 to 2009 the number of states with nutrition standard for foods outside of school meal programs increased from 6 to 27. Despite these improvements, greater efforts are needed to make sure that all foods and drinks offered or sold outside of school meal programs meet nutrition standards.‎ The CDC survey found large differences from one state to another in controlling junk food access in public schools. For example, Hawaii, and Maine, in more than 80 percent of schools, students could not buy candy and salty snacks in 2008; however, this was true in only 18.2 percent of schools in Utah.‎ ‎28. Who usually control how much access students have to junk food?‎ A. School principals B. School boards C. Parents D. Shop owners ‎29. It can be inferred from the passage that______.‎ A. more US schools will limit the amount of junk food B. nutrition standards are different in different high schools C. the obesity rate has increased a lot over the past two decades D. the government passed laws to limit the amount of junk food ‎30. According to the text , which state doesn’t do well in controlling junk food access in public schools?‎ A. Connecticut B. Utah C. Hawaii D. Maine ‎31. How does the author express his concern about teenagers’ health in the text?‎ ‎ A. By giving data B. By describing his own experience ‎ C. By telling a story D. By comparing the examples D Instagram(照片共享应用程序), is a social networking app made for sharing photos and videos from a smartphone. However, some people argue that Instagrm is harmful to teens.‎ ‎ Essena O’Neill seemed to have a perfect life—at least online. The Australian teen had 500,000 Instagram followers. He Internet fame led to a modeling contract. Companies paid her to show their clothing in her photos.‎ ‎ But in November 2015, Essena, then 18, shut down her Instagram account. She deleted(删除) more than 2,000 photos. “I’ve spent the majority of my teenage life being addicted to social media, ”she wrote. “I’m leaving Instagram.”‎ ‎ Essena left a few photos online, and told the truth behind the photos she created. For example, she didn’t eat all day before taking a picture in a bikini(比基尼泳装). She took that photo 100 times to make sure her stomach looked perfect. “Social media is not real life!” she says now.‎ ‎ Seeing perfect-looking Instagram photos can make teens feel like they don’t measure up. And if your photos don’t get many “likes,”you might take it personally. Even Essena worried all the time about what others thought of her. Trying to appear perfect online made her feel alone. One day, she wrote, “I had never been more miserable(痛苦的).”‎ Not everyone thinks that Instagram is harmful, though. Some people say it might even be good for teens. Why? Unlike many ads and magazines, Instagram includes photos ‎ of all different kinds of people. That means you’re more likely to see a photo of someone who looks like you.‎ ‎ Plus, studies show that many people who use social media feel more connected to friends. And social media users are more likely to know about big events in the lives of friends and family. So maybe it’s OK to love Instagram... as long as you love yourself too.‎ ‎32. According to the text, Instagram brought Essena________.‎ A. a healthy lifestyle B. fame and money ‎ C. many true friends D. a perfect teenage life ‎33. Why did Essena shut down her Instagram account at age 18?‎ A. Because she was too busy. B. Because her shape changed.‎ C. Because she faced great pressure. D. Because her photos were deleted.‎ ‎34. What’s the author’s attitude towards Instagram?‎ A. Worried B. Curious. C. Surprised D. Supportive.‎ ‎35. What does the text mainly discuss?‎ A. Should you be on a diet to look perfect?‎ B. Should you make friends on social media?‎ C. Should you give others “likes” on Instagram?‎ D. Should you shut down your Instagram account?‎ 第二节 (共5小题；每小题2分，满分10分) ‎ 根据短文内容，从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。‎ How to develop courage by overcoming daily fears At times, when it comes to courage, we tend to believe it only applies to rare and uncommon situations.
