In this way, you’ll feel fuller, so you’ll eat less when the main food comes.‎ An apple or more a day Apples are full of fiber(纤维) and water, so your stomach will want less.

She also took pictures of the food. However, Martha was very honest about the food. She did not just describe the food. She judged the taste and health of the food. ‎ Martha also began to use her blog (博客) for an important reason. She began to raise money for the organization Mary’s Meals in the East African country of Malawi. It provides food for children in schools for free. Martha encouraged her readers to send money to Mary’s Meals to help build a kitchen.‎ But then, Martha began to have a problem. Many people read her blog. She became big news. The news stories showed that the food at Martha’s school was not always healthy. And that made some people angry. So the school officials decided to stop Martha’s blog. They said that she could not take her camera to school.‎ But an amazing thing happened. Many people began sending messages of support across the Internet. Martha’s story was even bigger than before. Now the officials had to change their minds. A few days later, Martha was again writing her blog. But more ‎ than that, people had sent a lot of money for the Malawi school children. Martha had hoped to raise about 10,000 dollars. But the total reached 100,000 dollars and still kept on growing!‎ Martha’s blog also helped to improve meals at her school. One day she wrote: As we waited for dinner we were told that we are allowed to eat as much fruit and bread as we want. ‎ No one knows what will happen to Martha’s blog in future. But already this little girl has helped to change the eating experience of many children just by sharing on the Internet pictures of her school meals.‎ ‎25.

Many other students started to copy her.  ‎ C According to the Macmillan English Dictionary, alien is a word used to refer to a person or creature from a planet other than Earth. Aliens are beings that are believed to exist by many people. Is there evidence that aliens are real? Let us find out.‎ Aliens have often been in the news. They have always been surrounded (包围) by mystery and interest of people all around the world. Some people have claimed ‎ (声称) to have been taken away by aliens. Some have claimed to have actually seen them. But there has been no certain evidence for the idea that aliens exist.‎ Alien sightings have mostly involved sights of ape-like (类猿的) creatures or humanlike figures seen in the dark. At times, some people have even found blood or hair at the locations where aliens were seen. But it is likely that these sightings are of bears or apes. Possibly, people mistake bears or apes for aliens. Alien sightings could have probably been a result of human imagination（想象） followed with fear.‎ Media (媒体) have always described aliens as having humanlike figures traveling in plate-shaped space vehicles. Aliens have long since appeared in films. The media image of aliens is perhaps deeply rooted in the minds of common people. It makes them believe in the reality of aliens. Aliens described in literature have always influenced young minds. But have media been able to produce any evidence that aliens exist? Probably, not!‎ Alien sightings have mostly been followed with sightings of light in the night sky. People who claim to have seen aliens said they have witnessed mysterious lights in the sky. Some of them have also believed that the light came from the spaceships used by aliens. Plate-shaped objects traveling across the sky have often been taken as aliens’ space vehicles. People have seen certain mysterious objects floating in the sky and called them aliens. Researchers say that some of these sightings might just be certain astronomical phenomena (天文现象). ‎ Unless aliens come to Earth and come into contact with us, we may not be able to say for sure that aliens are real. Don’t you think so?‎ ‎28. According to the third paragraph, alien sightings are most likely to be _____. ‎ A. imaginary              B. similar   C. serious            D. scientific  ‎ ‎29. Why do many people believe in the reality of aliens?‎ A. Because humanlike figures have been seen in the dark. ‎ B. Because media have collected first-hand evidence that aliens exist.‎ C. Because humanlike figures traveling in plate-shaped objects have been found.‎ D. Because the images of aliens described in films have greatly affected people for ages.‎ ‎30. Which of the following statements is NOT true according to the passage? ‎ A. People all over the world show great interest in aliens. ‎ B. Young people are deeply affected by the books about aliens.‎ C. It’s said that alien sightings are usually followed with unusual lights.‎ D. Aliens are harmful to people and animals living on Earth.‎ ‎31. What is the best title for the passage? ‎ A. Aliens in the minds of common people B. What do people see in alien sightings?‎ C. Do aliens really exist in our world? D. Alien reports from different people D Picky（挑剔的）eaters may have good reasons for their behaviour. No matter why your child has become picky, how you handle the situation can affect his or her future. Therefore, you should know the following reasons for picky children first of all. ‎ Neophobia is common in children; it often happens at the dinner table. Some children just refuse to try new food because they don’t know what it will taste like, while others dislike new food before even smelling it. Some children take it to the extreme (极端) and will only eat a few foods that they like. Psychologist Dr. Elizabeth Capaldi says that, by the time children reach the age of two, they have formed their own eating habits that they don’t want to be disturbed by new offerings at the table.‎ A newly published study led by Dr. Lucy Cooke of University College London showed that picky eating in children results from genetic (遗传的) and environmental causes. The research, which followed the eating habits of 5,390 pairs of twins between the ages of 8 and 11, found that about 75% of the neophobia in the children was from their parents, while 25% was due to the influence of environment. ‎ Children grow at a high speed during their first year, but that fast-paced growth tends to slow down by their second year. When children are not experiencing one of ‎ those fast growth periods, their body needs less energy; and that results in a smaller appetite (胃口). When children are not hungry, they tend to enjoy only food they like. They refuse new food and food that is not their favourite. Some children will limit the amount of food to only one kind, like hamburgers or pancakes, leaving all the other foods untouched.‎ In some cases, many real reasons why a child behaves as a picky eater exist. About 5% of children who are 10 years of age or younger have some type of neurological dysfunction (神经机能障碍) that influences their eating habits. These children may be easily hurt by some special smells, or their brain may not be able to process such sensory（感官的）information properly. ‎ ‎32. The underlined word “Neophobia” in Paragraph 2 probably means _____.‎ A. the fear of something new or unknown B. the worry about the amount of new food C. the feeling of eating at the dinner table D. the fear of eating tasty food ‎33. What can we learn about the study led by Dr. Cooke?‎ A. It paid more attention to the environmental effects on children’s eating habits.‎ B. It followed the eating habits of 5,390 children aged between 8 and 11.‎ C. It showed that genetics greatly affect children’s eating habits.‎ D. It suggested that parents should have good eating habits.‎ ‎34. The fourth paragraph mainly tells us that _____.‎ A. children’s growth speed stays the same in the first two years B. children develop their own diet when they grow up C. children tends to eat less when they grow up D. children’s growth has an effect on their diet ‎35. The reason mentioned in the last paragraph has something to do with a child’s _____.‎ A. exercise                B. sense      C. habit                         D. interest 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。‎ Small talk is a good way to make friends. If you travel to other countries or have friends from abroad, do you know how to use small talk to make conversation?‎ In Britain, the best topic is the weather. British weather is changing all the time. 36 .‎ Besides weather, it’s good to talk about gardens with Brits. You could say, “Those roses look really beautiful, don’t they?” 37  .

Although not very fat, Jodie  41  more than she should and was continuing to gain weight day by day. ‎ ‎“As a pediatrician (儿科医生) and a parent, I knew we needed to help her,  42   we weren’t making 43  progress. While we were dealing with our daughter’s  44 , I was also seeing more and more overweight children in my office.”  ‎ ‎ Through her research, Dr. Jack found Thin Within, a book written for 45  teaching them how to lose weight by following their natural body cues (暗示).‎ ‎“Reading the book, I became very 46 because it made so much sense for adults and even children,” said Dr. Jack. “After seeing how 47 our daughter picked up the ideas about losing weight, I decided to write a book for all parents who are fighting against fatness 48 their children.”‎ Raising Fit Kids in a Fat World mainly includes three parts: The first is 49 less food. “This is the most important thing,” said Dr. Jack. “50  choices encourage us to eat too much food without considering how much our body can absorb.
