Diabetes（糖尿病）is caused by a group of metabolic disorder（紊乱) in which there are high blood sugar levels over a long period of time. There are three main types of
diabetes:
Type 1Diabetes results from the body not having enough insulin.(胰岛素)
Type 2Diabetes mainly happens to those who do not have enough physical exercise, eat too much unhealthy food and get too heavy.
Gestational Diabetes is the third main form. It appears when a woman is having a baby. She will probably get well again after the birth of the baby.
Diabetes can bring serious problem. People with diabetes, especially the Type1, will easily get thirsty and hungry, and quickly lose weight. If it is not treated, it will develop rapidly(weeks or months), and cause many long-term complications(并发症). All the complications related to damage to blood vessels(血管). For example, damage to the eyes. It is caused by damage to the blood vessels in the eyes, and results in gradual vision loss and blindness. The complications will greatly aggrandize the risk of diabetes, by which about 75% of the deaths are caused.
According to a report from the WHO(World Health Organization) in 2015, about 415 million people have diabetes worldwide, which means 8.3% of the adults in the world have diabetes. Of all the cases, 85% to 90% are Type 2 Diabetes. That is to say, most cases of diabetes result from the unhealthy life style. Diabetes doubles a person's risk of early death. From 2012 to 2015, about 1.5 to 5 million deaths each year resulted from this disease. The global economic cost of diabetes in 2014 was around 612 billion USD.
A healthy life style can help prevent diabetes. Doing a lot of physical activities and having a healthy diet will help have normal body weight. Higher levels of physical activity (more than 90 minutes per day) can reduce the risk of diabetes by 28%. Healthy diet includes foods rich in whole grains and fiber, foods with good fats from nuts, vegetable oils and fish, little sugar, and less red meat.
31. Diabetes is __________.
A. a serious disease
B. a damage to blood vessels

Life is full of surprises and you never know how things will turn out. Sir John Gurdon is a good example of this. As a boy, he was told that he was hopeless at Science
and was at the bottom of his class. Later, aged 79, the very same Gurdon shared the 2012 Nobel Prize in Physiology or Medicine with Japanese stem cell(干细胞) researcher Shinya Yamanaka.
Like to so many scientists, Gurdon shows us where the power of curiosity and perseverance can lead.
At the age of 15 in 1948, Gurdon ranked last out the 250 boys at his high school in Biology. Gurdon’s high school science teacher even said that his dream of becoming a scientist was “quite ridiculous.”
In spite of his teacher’s criticisms, Gurdon followed his curiosity an d kept working hard. He went to the lab earlier and left later than anyone else. He experienced thousands of failures.
“My own belief is that we will, in the end, understand everything about how cells actually work,” Gurdon said. In the 1960s, Gurdon took a cell from an adult frog and moved its genetic information into an egg cell. The egg cell then grew into a clone(克隆)of the adult frog. This technique later helped to create the sheep Dolly in 1996, the first cloned mammal(哺乳动物) in the world.
In 2006, Gur don’s work was developed by Yamanaka to show that a sample of a person’s skin can be used to create stem cells. Using the technique, doctors can repair a patient’s heart after a heart attack.
“Luck favours the prepared mind,” Gurdon told the Noble Prize Or ganization. “Ninety per cent of the time things don’t work, but when they do, you have to seize(抓住) the chance.”
36. Who won the 2012 Nobel Prize in Physiology or Medicine?

D. Gurdon’s science teacher
37. What does the underlined word “ridiculous” mean?
A. 无知的
B.无畏的
C.荒废的
D.荒谬的
38. According to the passage, which statement about Sir John Gurdon is TRUE?
A. As a boy, he was told that he was hopeful.
B. He ranked first at his high school in Biology.
C. It’s impossible for the doctors to repair a patient’s heart after a heart attack.
D. In spite of his teacher’s criticisms, he kept working hard.
39. From the passage, we know Sir John Gur don’s success depended on many things
EXCEPT________.
A. perseverance
B. criticisms
C. diligence
D. curiosity.

Recently, it is reported that a teenager from China scribbled on the wall of an ancient building in Egypt when he was travelling there. This has led to a heated discussion, and the image of the Chinese tourists has been damaged. Therefore, I’m here writing this to ask you to be a welcome visitor when you travel to other countries.
Here is some of my advice.
First, don’t talk too loudly in public places such as restaurants or museums. Second, always remember to stand in a line when you want to get on a bus or get into places like a theatre or a museum. Third, take your rubbish away and don’t just throw it everywhere. Last but not least, follow the traffic lights when crossing the road.
I hope you can keep the above in mind and be a visitor who is welcomed everywhere he goes.

2019年广州二模英语试题 A The country is India. A large dinner party is being given in an up-country station by a colonial official and his wife. The guests are army and government officers and their wives, and an American naturalist. At one side of the long table, a spirited discussion springs up between a young girl and an army officer. The girl insists women have long outgrown the jumping- on- a- chair -at-the-sight-of-a-mouse era, and that they are not as anxious as their grandmothers were. The officer says they are, arguing women haven't the actual nerve control of men. “A woman's reaction in any crisis, "the officer says, “is to scream. And while a man may feel like it, he has that ounce more of control than a woman has." The American scientist does not join in the argument but sits and watches the faces of the other guests. As he stares, he sees a slight, though strange look of anxiety come over the face of the hostess. With a small gesture she summons the servant standing behind her chair. She whispers to him. The servant's eyes widen. He turns quickly and leaves the room. No one else sees this, nor the servant when he puts a bowl of milk on the balcony outside the glass doors. The American understands. In India, milk in a bowl means only one thing. It is bait for a snake. He realizes there is a cobra in the room. The American's eyes move across the room but he sees nothing. He realizes the snake can only be in one place-under the table. His first reaction is to jump back and warn the others. But he knows any sudden movement will frighten the cobra and it will strike. He speaks quickly, the quality of his voice so arresting that it quietens everyone." I want to know just what control everyone at this table has. I will count three hundred-that's five minutes-and not one of you is to move a single muscle. Now! Ready!"

广州市2020年高三第二次模拟考试 英语 第二部分阅读理解(共两节，满分40分) 第一节(共15小题；每小题2分，满分30分) 阅读下列短文，从每题所给的A、B、C和D四个选项中，选出最佳选项。 WENQIANG A We can all think of times when people didn't make remembering easy. Directions given at machine-gun speed. New people introduced in a flood of names and handshakes. Whenever information is passed between people, it’s all too easy for it to go in one ear and straight out of the other. Thankfully, the opposite is also true. Look around you, and you’ll see parents who can get their children to rem ember exactly what they were told; advertisers who know how to imprint their sales messages on our brains. So, how do they do? Their secrets can be summed up in four simple words: focus, imagery, reasons and engagement. FOCUS means ensuring that the person you’re talking to can concentrate on learning. Choose your moment carefully. Check that they can properly hear or see the information. Communicate slowly and clearly enough for their memory to cope. IMAGERY helps information to stick. Do everything your can to make other people “see”the ideas you’re giving them. Add visual details to directions, and illustrate abstract concepts with metaphors. REASONS to remember help people to put in the mental effort. So, make it clear that your words are important, and be explicit about why. Maybe this information will save them time, protectthem from embarrassment, or let them enjoy a particular experience or event. EMGAGEMENT requires you to ask questions. Point out links between new concepts and things listeners already know. Activate their senses, spark their curiosity, get them doing something physical, or simply make them laugh. The next time you’ve got an important message to pass on, put some of these techniques to the test. You’ll discover that there are benefits on both sides when you know how to FIRE people’s memories into action. 21. What is the main purpose of the text? A.To report new research. B.To provide some advice. C.To explain a problem. D.To define some terms. 22. How can you do to help a listener “focus” on w hat you are saying? A.Select the appropriate time to raise the topic. B.Do something humorous to get their attention. C.Make sure the information provided is correct.
