Do you eat it? It seems that you shouldn't, for many reasons. including its influence on your studies.Scientists have long known that eating late at night can make us gain weight. But now a new study has shown that late-night eating can also have a bad influence on our brains ---it might hurt our ability to learn new things and store memories.“We believe that late-night eating may affect(影响)our learning by influencing the parts of the brain that control learning and memory,”Dawn Loh. PhD, a project scientist at the University of California, Los Angeles, said. "We believe the timing of when we eat is the main cause of the damaged (受损的)memory.”For the study, the researchers looked at mice with strict feeding plans. For two weeks, the mice were either allowed to eat during the time when they are usually the most active, or during the time when they usually sleep. The mice received the same amount of sleep and calories.Then the researchers tested the brains of the mice. In one test, the researchers tried to find out whether the mice could remember that a room was connected an electric shock (电击)after24 hours had gone by.The researchers noticed that, when the mice were put in the room again, those mice that ate when they should sleep were less likely to get scared than those mice that ate during usual hours. It means that they didn't remember.So think twice before the midnight snack - it might be bad for more than your weight.26. What does the underlined word "it" in Paragraph 2 refer to(指代)?A. Studying for longB. A nice pieC. A new study.D. Late-night eating.27. For the study, the researchers need ________________ .A. to check the brains of the mice before the test startedB. to feed the mice only during the time when they usually sleepC. to keep the mice in a room with an electric shock all the timeD. to let the mice receive the same amount of sleep and calories28.

I moved around the house purposelessly trying to decide what to put into the suitcases(行李箱). Earlier that evening, I received a call telling me that my brother was killed in a car crash. "Come as soon as you can," cried my mother.I wanted to hurry to her at once. But my husband, Larry, and I were packing to move from New York to Seattle. Our house was in total mess. Supper dishes sat on the kitchen table. Toys lay everywhere. I purposelessly picked things up and put them down. Mother's crying went through my head again and again.Larry called some friends to tell them what happened. Someone asked to speak to me. "If there's anything I can do, let me know." But I didn't know what to ask for.Suddenly, the doorbell rang. It was Emerson. He and his wife Donna lived in the block nearby."I've come to clean your shoes," he said.I asked him to repeat."Donna had to stay with the baby," he said, "but we want to help you. I remember when my father died, it took me hours to clean our shoes for the funeral(葬礼). Give me all your shoes."I gathered all our dirty shoes to the kitchen. Emerson got to work right away. Watching him devoting himself to one task helped me pull my own thoughts into order. I told myself to wash clothes first. Then, Larry and I bathed the children and put them to bed. One job after another.When we returned to clear the dishes, Emerson had left. All our shoes stood in a line against the wall, clean, shining. I couldn't help crying. Early next morning, we left for the airport with all the jobs done.Now whenever I hear of a friend who's lost a loved one, I no longer call with the polite offer, "If there's anything I can do..." Instead I try to think of one specific task that suits that man's need, like looking after friend's young children, taking the dog to the boarding kennel, orhouse-sitting during the funeral. If the person asks, "How did you know I needed that done?" I reply, "Because a man once cleaned my shoes."30. The writer didn't know what to put into the suitcases because ___________.A. she couldn't do it on her ownB. she was too sad to do anythingC. she wanted to take everything to SeattleD. she was not good at housework31.

But over the past ten years, the world's deepest freshwater lake has been more and more popular because of an extreme sport.Each March since 2005, about 150 people from Around the world take part in the Baikal Ice Marathon (冰上马拉松). They come to explore the lake’s breathtaking beauty and challenge themselves in difficult conditions.The 26-mile (41.84-kilometers) journey starts on the lake's eastern side. In March, the ice is a meter thick and iron-hard. Runners cross this frozen surface, finishing on the western side of the lake.The Lake Baikal has the clearest water. This means its ice is almost perfectly transparent (透明的). "Seen from above, a runner on the ice looks as if he or she is jogging through space, " The New York Times noted.The landscape might be beautiful, but it's also harsh. Strong cold winds blow across the lake and the average(平均的) temperature in March is around -38℃. But runners say the cold weather is what attracts them. They want to test their limits." When you are in such an environment, you don't have cars around you, you don't have the noise around. I think this extreme marathon allows you to be alone was nature,"Aliceja Barahona,A 64-year-old runner from the US, told ABC News.Lake Baikal offers, strange and special characteristics for this marathon. The finish line can be seen from the start, but the endless white offers no progress markers(标记). The race also ends with little noise. Tourists crowding the ice are just interested in snapping selfies (自拍) and didn't care about the runners.For some runners, not having viewers(观众) makes the race more difficult. They must fight with themselves. "You are alone on Baikal. It is your race. You are alone with yourself.All yon need to do is to defeat yourself," Veoniquc Messia, a French runner, told the Telegraph.34.What can know about the Baikal Ice Marathon from the article?A.

To describe the climate in Lake Baikal.DIs advertisement really necessary? Billions of dollars are spent on it every year, so it must be important. After all, it is a busy world. You have to advertise to get people's attention to sell products!Not every company thinks that way, however. The NO-AD company doesn't advertise in traditional ways. It sells its products by word of mouth. In this way, they can save money and keep costs down, which makes their products cheaper for customers."Word-of-mouth advertising" happens when one person tells another about a good experience with a product or service. That next person then tells another friend, family member, or colleague(同事). And so a chain of information is created.Usually, advertisers talk about how good their product is. Although they say things like, "Studies show that our product is the best." or "Everyone loves this product," It can sound unconvincing.It's much more believable to hear about a product from a family, member or friend who has used it and liked it. Our loved ones' ideas are very important to us, so we often listen to their advice about a product.Word-of-mouth advertising has other advantages, too. It's cost-effective(有效的) (after all, it's free) and a company doesn't have to create a complex(复杂的)business plan to do it. Here is some advice for small businesses about word-of-mouth advertising.Be prepared to talk about your company at any time. You never know who you will meet. Always carry business cards.Only say good things about your company. Don't say bad things about your competition. Help other companies by recommending people to them. The more you help others, the more good luck will come back to you…and that is good business.39. Why do some companies spend lots of money on advertisements?A.To make the environment beautiful.B.To attract people to their products.C.To make their products very useful.D.To tell people the names of their companies.40. In the picture, by saying, "I always buy it…",the speaker probably means to .A. buy the product for her colleagueB. recommend the product to her friendC. sell the product to her relativeD. tell her customer about the service41. What does the underlined word "unconvincing" in Paragraph 4 probably mean?A. unimportantB. uncomfortableC. unusualD. unbelievable42. What might NO-AD companies do according to the passage?A.Say bad things about other companies.B.Improve their products and service all the time.C.Help other companies by wishing them good luck.D.Create complex business plans.43. The writer's main purpose of writing the passage is_____.A. to make us believe there is no need to make advertisementsB. to tell us to care more about advertisementsC. to introduce some information about NO-ADD. to show us how to sell products by advertising on TV第二部分非选择题(59分)四、阅读表达阅读下面短文,并根据短文后的要求答题 (10分)China is the second-largest cotton producer in the world.

The 12-year-old girl from Sichuan opened the Tik Tok, known as Douyin, to watch some short videos. She just wanted to take a short break, but half an hour later, she was still watching short videos.Zhang is one of many teenagers who enjoy watching short videos on apps like Douyin. The videos typically last from 15 seconds to 5 minutes. According to a survey by the Central Committee of the Communist Youth League of China, 20 percent of teenagers watch short videos during whatever free time they have. About 10 percent check short video apps several times a day.Sun Zhenyao, a 14-year-old boy from Anhui, says he likes short videos because they are interesting. “It’s the perfect thing to do when I want to kill small amounts of time,” he said.Zhang says she learns a lot by watching short videos. She follows a Chinese vlogger living in the US on Douyin. The vlogger does funny things, like selling pancakes on the street and inviting foreigners to watch The Wandering Earth, she said, “His videos teach me about cultures in different countries.”However, Zhang and Sun also say they sometimes waste too much time watching short videos. Apps like Douyin and Kuaishou have features that prevent users from watching videos for too long. Users can use “teen mode”, which sets 40 minutes a day for watching short videos. Sun says this has helped him cut down the amount of time he spends watching videos.People can learn a lot from short videos, but they need to control the time they spend on short videos.Lost in short videos49 ►Short videos typically last 15 seconds to 5 50 .►20 percent of teenagers watch short videos 51 they are free. ►About 10 percent 52 short videos several times a day.Two teenagers’ ideas on short videos Zhang Luyang►She is a 12-year-old girl from Sichuan.►She learns about different 53 by watching shortvideos.►She sometimes 54 too much time watchingshort videos.Sun Zhenyao►He is a 14-year-old boy from Anhui.►He finds short videos 55 .►He thinks watching short videos is a good way to56 time.►He sometimes watches short videos for too long.►Now he spends 57 time on short videosbecause of the “teen mode”.ConclusionPeople can learn a lot from short videos, but they need to 58 the time they spend on short videos.六、词汇运用 (9分)59.We are sorry to hear that you are not _____________ with your new car.
