Single-minded about serving food that is not only healthy but tastes good, Joe and Gaby decided to give up their full-time jobs and open Wholesome Bakes to provide nutritious and tasty food for themselves, their family and friends, and anyone who wants to eat healthily. ‎ At Wholesome Bakes, the bread and cakes are all made using ingredients that are not polluted by chemicals.

The participants(参与者) completed interviews and medical tests every two years between 1990 and 2009. ‎ The researchers did not include any grandparents who were the main caregivers for their grandchildren, only those who cared for grandchildren from time to time. The study team compared this group with seniors who provided support for non-family members, such as friends or neighbors, and seniors who did not provide any care for other people. ‎ Overall, after accounting for grandparents’ age and general state of health, the risk of dying over a 20-year period was one-third lower for grandparents who cared for their grandchildren, ‎ compared with those who did not provide any childcare. Half of the grandparents who cared for grandchildren were still alive ten years after the original interview. The same was true for participants who did not have grandchildren but supported their adult children in some way, such as helping with housework. In contrast, about half of the participants who did not help others died within five years of the start of the study. ‎ ‎“Caregiving may give caregivers a purpose of life because caregivers may feel useful for others and for society,” said Bruno Arpino, an associate professor at Pompeu Fabra University in Barelona, Spain who was not involved in the study. ‎ ‎“Caregiving may be thought also as activity that keeps caregivers physically and mentally active,” Professor Arpino said, adding that previous studies suggest that caregiving may improve cognitive(认知的) functioning, mental and physical health. ‎ Arpino noted, however, that caregiving is not the only activity that can improve health, and too many caring responsibilities can take away from other beneficial activities like working, being in social clubs, or volunteering. ‎ ‎“Children should take into consideration their parents’ needs, willingness, and desires and agree with them on the timing and amount of childcare,” Arpino suggested. ‎ ‎24. What can we know from the text?‎ A. Helping others sometimes is beneficial to seniors. ‎ B. Full-time caregivers were included in the study. ‎ C. All participants in the study were in good health. ‎ D. Caregiving can reduce the risk of death by half. ‎ ‎25. Bruno Arpino believes that caregiving can give seniors _______.‎ A. a sense of duty B. a sense of honor ‎ C. a sense of self-worth D. a sense of belonging ‎ ‎26. What does the underlined phrase “take away from” in para7 probably mean? A. cut down. B. break up C. make up for D. take the place of ‎ ‎27. What advice did Bruno Arpino give?‎ A. The amount of childcare should depend on grandparents’ health. ‎ B. Seniors should take part in all kinds of outdoor activities. ‎ C. Grandparents should do their best to take care of grandchildren. ‎ D. Children should be considerate towards their parents in childcare. ‎ C ‎ Fast food has become indicative of our thoughtless, consumer throw-away society. Yes, it may taste good to some people, but the truth is, it is terrible for health. For those who live in a fast food fantasy world, eating it every day, believing that it is fast , convenient and inexpensive, it can be catastrophic(灾难性的).‎ ‎ Contrary to being cheap, fast food is very expensive on many levels. To start with, a home-cooked nutritious meal would cost a lot less than any fast food meal and you would know exactly what ingredients were in your food. ‎ ‎ However, the expense is not only in terms of the money you spend at the restaurant. There are ‎ hidden costs. Not only does it cost money to pay for the petrol to go and get this nutritionally poor food, but also it is very wasteful of paper, plastic and styrene(苯乙烯) all of which do serious damage to the environment: plastic and styrene cannot be got rid of, but break up into small particles(颗粒) and end up in our water supply or our air, and therefore our food chain. It is a very serious circle. ‎ ‎ Besides not being good for you, fast food is also addictive(上瘾的). The more you eat, the more you want, and so, more and more kids are suffering from fatness. Fast food restaurants have become a favorite hangout for teens, and not just for something to eat. If fast food was designed to be quick and easy, why do many of them have cafes, a Wi-Fi zone and an eat-in restaurant? Those are not things a person in a hurry would use. The goal now is trying to attract customers to stay longer and thus spend more money. Their marketing is aimed at attracting kids because they are the ones who have money to spend and are customers of the future.‎ ‎ Fast food is dangerous to your health, hard on your wallet, addictive and harmful to the environment. Through the power of the media(媒体), children, teens and adults are attracted to “fit in and be cool”, be part of the fast throw-away lifestyle it promotes. How to resist the hype(促销广告)? Just take a good look at the results on those who eat it. Then look at yourself. ‎ ‎28. What is the author’s purpose in writing the text?‎ A. To present the advantages and disadvantages of fast food. ‎ B. To tell readers about the negative effects of fast food. ‎ C. To explain what ingredients you can find in fast food. ‎ D. To compare home food with fast food. ‎ ‎29. The author thinks fast food is expensive because _______.‎ A. the price includes the labor and materials B. the delivery charge of fast food is high C. the hidden costs have to be included D. the packaging is too expensive ‎ ‎30. Fast food chains want to attract young people because _______.‎ A. the young care less about their health ‎ B. their food promotes a young lifestyle ‎ C. the young have enough money to spend ‎ D. they consider the young as their main future customers ‎ ‎31. Which would be the best title of a book on fast food by this author?‎ A. Is Fast Food Slowly Killing Us and the Environment?‎ B. What Makes You Want to Eat Fast Food?‎ C. Fast Food is for a Sustainable(可持续的) Healthy Future.‎ D. Food for the Future of the Planet?‎ D ‎ ‎ Many people think that hippo(河马) are cute and funny-looking. They are really fat and they have short, thick legs. They also have little round ears that wiggle(摆动) sometimes.‎ ‎ Hippos look funny, but you shouldn’t judge a book by its cover. Hippos are extremely violent and dangerous. In fact, they kill more people than any other animal in Africa. Think of how many dangerous animals that Africa has. It has got crocodiles, snakes, lions, elephants, and many more.‎ ‎ Hippos are more dangerous than all of them.‎ ‎ Hippos are naturally very dangerous animals, but there are some situations that make them even more dangerous than normal. They are very territorial. That means that they stay in one area which they consider to be their private area. If a person or animal enters a hippo’s area, the hippo will attack. Hippos also often attack when they are returning to the water. Hippos eat on land and return to the water at dusk. If a hippo sees an animal when it is returning to the water, it will become violent. ‎ ‎ Hippos are so strong that they often kill crocodiles. There are two reasons that explain why hippos and crocodiles often fight. First of all, hippos and crocodiles live in the same areas. Since hippos are territorial, they don’t like having crocodiles nearby. Also, crocodiles often eat young hippos. For that reason, adult hippos frequently kill crocodiles. ‎ ‎ Mother and daughter hippos have close relationships. However, hippos don’t have any other close relationship with each other. Hippos often live together in large groups, but scientists don’t know why. It’s hard to study the behavior of male and female hippos, because males and females look the same.‎ ‎ Hippos are violent, but they are herbivores. A herbivore is an animal that eats only plants. An adult hippo eats about 15 kilograms of plants every day. Hippos are much more comfortable in the water, but they can run fast on land. Their top speed is about 19 kilometers per hour. That’s much faster than humans can run. ‎ ‎32. What is the text mainly about?‎ ‎ A. The fight between hippos and crocodiles. ‎ B. How to tell male hippos from female ones. ‎ C. Africa’s most dangerous animal---hippos. ‎ D. Why hippos get violent.‎ ‎33. If an animal is territorial, what does that mean?‎ A. It is afraid of other animals. ‎ B. It stays within a limited area. ‎ C. It does not like to live in large groups. ‎ D. It does not want other animals to enter its area. ‎ ‎34. What can we learn from the text?‎ A. Hippos swim faster than crocodiles in water. ‎ B. It is hard to explain why hippos live in groups. ‎ C. Male and female hippos look different. ‎ D. Violent animals usually eat plants. ‎ ‎35. What is the author’s purpose in writing the text?‎ A. To inform. B. To entertain. C. To discuss. D. To persuade. ‎ ‎ ‎ 第二节（共5小题；每小题2分，共10分）‎ 根据短文内容，从短文后的七个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。‎ Four Ways to Ease Back Pain Nearly everyone suffers from some type of back pain at some point in their lives. But no matter when it appears or what may have caused it, back pain can be a real pain to deal with. 36._______ The following tips can help you get on the way toward feeling better. ‎ A Good Night’s Sleep Sleep disturbances are common among people with constant back pain, and not getting enough quality sleep may actually worsen the pain. For a better night’s sleep, buy a good mattress(床垫) and experiment with different sleeping positions. If you are a back sleeper, try putting a pillow under both knees; for stomach sleepers, try under your pelvis(骨盆). 37._____‎ Gentle Exercise When you have back pain, the best thing to do is rest until the pain decreases, right?
