A new report being released Tuesday says more than 9 million young adults, or 27 percent of all Americans ages 17 to 24, are too overweight to join the military. Now, the officers are advocating for passage of a wide-ranging nutrition bill that aims to make the nation's school lunches healthier. The military group acknowledges that other things keep young adults out of the armed services, such as a criminal record or the lack of a high school diploma. But weight problems that have worsened over the past 15 years are now the leading medical reason that recruits are rejected. Although all branches of the military now meet or exceed recruitment goals, retired Navy Rear Adm. James Barnett Jr., a member of the officers group, says the obesity trend could affect that. “When over a quarter of young adults are too fat to fight, we need to take notice，” Barnett said. He noted that national security in the year 2030 is “absolutely dependent” on reversing child obesity rates.， military leaders had the opposite problem, reporting that many recruits were rejected becauseof stunted growth and inadequate nutrition. After the war, military leaders pushed Congress to establish the national school lunch program so children would grow up healthier. Today, the group is urging Congress to eliminate junk food and high-calorie beverages from schools, put more money into the school lunch program and develop new strategies that help children develop healthier habits. 36. What is the main problem of the lunches in schools according to the military officers? A．The meat in the lunches is mysterious. B．The lunches are too expensive. C．The lunches contain too much fat. D．There is inadequate nutrition in the lunches. 37. The underlined word “obesity” in Paragraph 5 means ________. A．slow in mind B．state of being fat C．quick in movement D．lack of confidence 38. Which of the following statements is NOT true? A．The lunches in American schools are not very healthy. B．During World War Ⅱ， many people could not join the army because of overweight.overweight was the key reason why many recruits were rejected. D．By now, Congress hasn't eliminated junk food and high-calorie beverages from schools. 39. Which of the following is the best title for the article? A．School lunches: a national security threat? B．National security in danger? C．Retired officers tired of school lunches D．The recruitment of 2030 ： ：。

My heart beat with that feeling, pumping it like blood to my body as my fingers flew across the piano keys. As the piece neared the end, I stood up to take my final bow. For a second, the room was quiet. Yet, even in that one second, I had enough time to doubt whether I had done everything perfectly. Then, suddenly, the applause came.“Thank you… so much,” I said, turning to Olga, my piano teacher for six years. “You’ve been an amazing student all these years,” she said, “and I hope that whatever you do, you never stop practicing.”I leaned forward, promising I would always keep playing because I loved piano, and hugged her.It turned out to be that promises weren’t as meaningful as I’d hoped for them to be. Right after quitting, I kept up my strict practicing schedule. Soon, it began slipping away from me. After all, the reason I had stopped taking lessons was that my schedule was busy with homework. Not long after, I stopped practicing altogether. It was pleasing not to have to stress about piano anymore. But something was shifting inside of me. I was empty inside.One day I met Michelle, who had also taken piano lessons from Olga for quite a while.“So, are you still taking lessons from Olga?” She asked.“Um, no, actually I just quit a while ago,” I replied quickly.“Oh, that’s a shame,” she responded, “You used to be so good — I remember your performance a year ago; it was breathtaking.”Two days after talking to Michelle, I subconsciously(潜意识地)sat down on the benchand started playing. I wasn’t even trying to make the notes sound musically correct…I was simply doing what I should have been this entire time: playing, just to be playing.As the music spread, a familiar feeling rose inside me.1. According to the passage, the quiet room made the writer doubt .A. whether she ended the music a little earlierB. whether she expressed her feeling in musicC. whether she played the piano perfectlyD. whether she was polite to make a bow2. Why did the writer stop practicing the piano?A. She lost interest in playing the piano.B. She was satisfied with her performance.C. She thought Olga to be too strict with her.D. She was busy with her homework.3. After stopping the piano, the writer felt .A. she seemed to have no purpose in lifeB. she got rid of the pressure of lifeC. she had more time to do other activitiesD. she changed herself into another person4. Michael seemed to think .A. the writer could become a famous pianistB. it was a pity for the writer to stop practicingC. the writer should be ashamed of her decisionD. the performance of the writer made her heart broken【语篇解读】本文是记叙文，主要介绍了一个很有音乐天赋的女孩，放弃练习弹钢琴后的感受，以及最终重新开始弹钢琴的故事。

A[2020·江西重点中学高三联考]Peppa Pig, a British preschool animated TV series, has undergone an amazing journey in adapting to Chinese culture and China's market.2015In June, the Peppa Pig TV series was introduced to the Chinese market by Entertainment One and first aired on the CCTV Children's Channel. Shortly after its publication, Peppa Pig attracted billions of views on social media platforms like iQIYI, Youku and Tudou.2016The Peppa Pig TV series was broadcast on the CCTV Children's Channel for a second round.It also gained more viewers on the Golden Eagle Animation Channel, Hunan TV.2017The phrase“Peppa Pig Girl” became one of the hottest buzzwords on China's Internet. It refers to a girl who holds a positive attitude toward life even though she tends to be lazy in her daily life. She might look a bit silly and often have tasty food as a top priority on her mind.2018Rumors claimed that Peppa Pig was banned from Douyin, China's major video sharing platform, saying it“violates (违反) the community regulations and has not passed censorship (审查制度)”. In May, however, representatives from Douyin said the app was not forbidding Peppa Pig.2019According to Entertainment One, more than 40 million Peppa Pig books have been sold since its second round broadcast on CCTV. In the year of the Pig, more companies are adding Peppa­themed elements to their products for promotion.1．Since ________， more than 40 million Peppa Pig books have been sold.A．2015 B．2016C．2017 D．20182．What does the passage mainly talk about?A．Peppa Pig's great effect in China.B．Peppa Pig's high economic value in China.C．The causes of the great popularity of Peppa Pig TV series.D．The introduction of Peppa Pig to the whole world.3．What can we learn about Peppa Pig according to the passage?A．The TV series was first broadcast on Hunan TV.B．Food is the favorite of a Peppa Pig Girl, who is silly.C．Year of the Pig will help promote the sales of the Peppa­themed products.D．Peppa Pig was banned in Douyin because it broke the law.B[2019·安徽安庆二模]Spotify can tell if you're sad. Here's why that should scare you. Want to figure out if someone is a patient with a mental disability：Ask them what their favorite song is. A New York University study last year found that people who loved Eminem's Lose Yourself and Just in Bieber's What Do You Mean?were more likely to have trouble with mental disabilities than people who were into Dire Straits.Over the past few years, Spotify has been improving the ability to analyze information to help businessmen target consumers with advertisements made specially for their needs. They conclude this from the sort of music you're listening to, combined with where and when you're listening to it, along with third­party data that might be available.Now, to be clear, there's nothing significantly illegal about what Spotify is doing with your information. I certainly don't think that they are working with shadowy consulting firms to serve you ads selling a culture struggle while you're listening to music that suggests you might be in a terrible situation. However, I find it disappointing that our personal, private moments with music are increasingly being turned into information points and offered to advertisers.You can see where this could go, can't you? As ad targeting gets ever more accurate, businessmen will have the ability to target our feelings in potentially improper ways. According to one study, you are more likely to spend more on a product if you're feeling sad. You can imagine some companies might take advantage of that. And on that note, I'm feeling a little down about all this.

They were wrong, and the AI running for the mayor of a Tokyo district was clear proof of that.AI can't legally run for high­ranking public man agement positions yet, but one mayoral candidate from Tama City, Tokyo, intended to maximize the use of artificial intelligence in running city affairs. He was running his campaign as an AI Mayor. Basically, he was suggesting replacing human public officials with AI and having it collect city data and create fair and balanced policies that will benefit everyone.“For the first time in the world, AI will run in an election，”human candidate Michihito Matsuda announced. “Artificial Intelligence will change Tama City. With the birth of an AI Mayor, we will conduct balanced politics.”The AI Mayor was campaigning very much like its human competitors. Posters were shown all over Tama City and campaign trucks were blaring out promises of an AI utopia (乌托邦) and asking for support.Some people called Michihito Matsuda's campaign a stunt (噱头), as a human would still be the one legally in charge. However, others said that they were excited about the future of AI running things in thebackground, adding that it had to be a better choice.8．What's the advantage of the AI Mayor according to Michihito Matsuda?A．Maximizing the use of AI.B．Replacing human officials.C．Creating balanced policies.D．Bringing him beneficial effects.9．How will AI run for the mayor?A．It will abolish many old policies.B．It will ask for support on the Internet.C．It will make public speeches, dressed like a human.D．It will compete similarly to human competitors.10．What's the citizens' attitude toward Michihito Matsuda's campaign?A．They believe AI will win.B．All consider it to be tricky.C．It is supposed to be a failure definitely.D．Some think it's worthy of expectation.11．What is the best title for the passage?A．AI Runs for the Mayor.B．The Advantages of AI.C．AI Replaces Human in Management.D．The Patterns of AI Management.D[2020·质量监测]Play is vital in every child's development, and for toddlers (蹒跚学步的小孩) the benefits of play especially come to life when they can connect with parents during playtime. To raise awareness and help parents create the time and attention span needed. The Lego Group launches a “Do not disturb playtime” campaign. 21 days is what it takes on average to break a habit, so for 21 days the Lego team will not post on social media during “toddler playtime”， defined as 5 a．m. — 8 p．m.With social media being an integrated part and creative inspiration to modern family life, it is no surprise that researchers call our digital behavior as a concerning obstacle to quality playtime.“While we are hooked_on our cellphones, we should think about turning them off when interacting with our young children. Kids learn so much from us and we don't want to get in the way of that. Take language learning for example. When nurturing caregivers talk to their children about whatthey are interested in, it helps them learn new words and new ways to express themselves. Our research shows that the use of cellphones in a conversation between parents and children disturbs children's word learning，” advises Roberta Golinkoff, Ph.D., Profes sor at the University of Delaware.Our research shows that parents today understand their significant roles in insuring their kids grow up to be happy, well­rounded, and equipped for the future. At the same time, many worry about not spending enough time with their toddlers. Lego wants to inspire parents to make the small moments memorable.“We know parents today feel more time­starved than ever before. Many feel guilty about not spending enough time with their little ones. Through the ‘Do not disturb playtime’ campaign we hope to reassure parents that it's not so much the amount of time they spend with their kids, but the small meaningful moments they create during play，” said Steffen Jensen, LEGO Croup Senior Marketing Director.12．Which of the following words can replace the underlined phrase “hooked on” in Paragraph 3?A．Addicted to.
