Soon after, I began to control my eating, considering it another solution to my homesickness. But soon there was something wrong with me.Finally, I went to see a doctor.

From the 8th century B. C. to the 4th century A. D., the the ancient Olympics were held every four years in Olympia in honor of the god Zeus. The first modern Olympics took place in1896 inAthens, and featured 280 participants from 13 nations, competing in 43 events. Since 1994, the Summer and Winter Olympic Games have been held separately every two years. The 2020 Summer Olympics, delayed one year because of the COVID-19, was held in Japan in 2021.The ancient Olympics were held every four years between August 6 and September 19 during a festival honoring Zeus. The Games were named for their location (位置) at Olympia, a place near the western coast in southern Greece. Their influence was so great that ancient historians began to measure time by the Olympic Games held every four years.After the Roman Empire conquered (征服) Greece in the mid-2nd century B.C., the Games continued, but their standards and quality dropped. For example from 67 A. D., the Emperor Nero entered an Olympic horse race, announcing himself the winner even after he fell off hishorse during the event. In 393 A. D., Emperor Theodosius★ended the ancient Olympic tradition.It was another 1,500 years before the Games rose again, largely thanks to the efforts of Baron Pierre de Coubertin (1863-1937) of France. Working hard at the development of physical education, the young man became inspired by the idea of creating a modern Olympic Games after visiting the ancient Olympic building. In November1892, at a meeting of the Union des Sports Athlétiques in Paris, Coubertin suggested the idea of making the Olympics an international athletic competition held every four years. Two years later, he got the approval (批准) he needed to found the International Olympic Committee ( IOC ), which would become the governing body of the modern Olympic Games.12. What do we know about the modern Olympics?A. The modern Olympics became famous in the 18th century.B. The first Winter Olympics was held in 1994.C. The first modern Olympics dates back to 1896.D. The latest Winter Olympics will delay for two years.13. How often were the ancient Olympics held?A. Every year.B. Every other year.C. Every three years.D. Every four years.14. When did the ancient Olympics end?A. In 393 A. D.B. In 67 A. D.C. In the mid-2nd century B. C.D. About 1,500 years ago.15. What is the best title of the text?A. The ancient OlympicsB. The modern OlympicsC. The Olympics developed through yearsD. The Olympics are popular in modern time第二节（共5小题；每小题2分，满分10分）阅读下面短文，从短文后的选项中选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。

2021华二（紫竹）高三英语下学期3月考试卷II. Grammar and Vocabulary (20分)Section ADirections: After reading the passage below, fill in the blanks to make the passage coherent and grammatically correct. For the blanks with a given word, fill in each blank with the proper form of the given word; for the other blanks, use one word that best fits each blank.Tweenbots are human-dependent cardboard robots that navigate the city with the help of pedestrians they encounter. Rolling at a constant speed, in a straight line, Tweenbots have a destination (21) (display) on a flag and rely on passer-by they come across to read this flag and to aim them in the right direction to reach their goal.I walked out to Washington Square Park on a sunny summer day, (22) (place) my first Tweenbot on the sidewalk, and walked away. From a distance, I observed as the Tweenbot––a smiling 10-inch tall cardboard missionary––bumped along towards his inevitable fate.It was incredible.(23) _______ a Tweenbot got caught under a park bench, ground repeatedly against a curb, or became trapped in a pothole, some passer-by would always rescue it and send it toward its goal. Never once (24) a Tweenbot lost or damaged. Often, people would ignore the instructions to aim the Tweenbot in the "right" direction, if that direction meant (25) (send) the robot into a dangerous situation. One man turned the robot back in the direction (26) _______ it had just come, saying out loud to the Tweenbot, "You can’t go that way, it’s toward the road."The Tweenbot’s unexpected presence in the city created an unfolding narrative that speaks to the power of a simple technological object (27) (create) a complex network powered by human intelligence and asynchronous(非同时发生的) interactions. The journey (28) take becomes a story of people's willingness to engage with a creature that mirrors human characteristics of being easily harmed, of being lost, and of having intention (29) the means of achieving its goal alone.(30) each encounter with an empathetic(有同感的) pedestrian takes a Tweenbot one step closer to reaching its destination, the significance of our random discoveries and individual actions builds up into a story about a vast space made small by an even smaller robot.Section B (10分)Directions: Complete the passage with the words in the box. Each word can only be used once. Note that there is one word more than you need.Narrowing the Gap between College Degrees and Practical Skills Getting a university degree has never seemed more important: college graduates earn more money, live longer, and are happier. But college degrees are expensive (especially in the US), 31 focused(especially in the UK), and often fail to build the skills employers want (true in most countries).A new university in the UK wants to change that.The London Interdisciplinary School (LIS), which will 32 . in 2021 with a target of 100 students, will scrap traditional academic subjects and offer a three-year bachelor of arts and sciences degree designed to 33 real-world issues. The 34 is built around interdisciplinary problems-knife crime, childhood obesity, palm oil in supply chains, plastic pollution----as well as quantitative and qualitative research skills. Employers like the Met Police, Innocent, and Virgin will provide project ideas and offer five-week work experience for students.The idea is similar to a US liberal arts degree (a rarity in the UK) but also more explicitly focused on "interdisciplinarity, "or drawing on 35 subjects-economics, psychology, sociology, statistics-to solve 36 problems like childhood obesity. In other words, the problem, not the subject, sits at the center of the curriculum. The skills students develop, the founders hope, will more closely agree with what an Al-infused, automated world demands: 37 between people and machines, critical thinking, speaking and writing skills, and data management, to name just a few things.Students will tackle problems through various disciplines: knife crime, for example, by understanding cultural and socioeconomic factors in different neighborhoods, data science, statistics, publicly 38 data, an economics or psychology lens.In the UK, students apply through a central clearinghouse, and exam results are of primary importance. At LIS, students will instead apply 39 and all will be invited to a"selection day" which will include a face-to-face interview so that LIS can understand a students' background，motivations, and passions. Interviews will be conducted by a panel to minimize bias. Conditional offers will be 40 based on personal background, circumstances and, also, grades.III. Reading Comprehension (45 分）Section ADirections: For each blank in the following passage there are four words or phrases marked A, B, C and D. Fill in each blank with the word of phrase that best fits the context.Reading award-winning literature may boost your ability to read other people, a new study suggests. Researchers at the New School for Social Research found that when they had volunteers read works of acclaimed(受到称赞的) “literary fiction”, it seemed to temporarily improve their ability to (41)________ other people's emotions. The same was not (42)________ of nonfiction or “popular" fiction, the mystery, romance and science fiction books that often dominate bestseller lists.Researchers (43)________ a series of five experiments which participants read either literary fiction, popular fiction, nonfiction or nothing at all before taking some standard tests. One of the tests is known as "Reading the Mind in the Eyes”. People have to look at photos of actors’ eyes, and then guess what emotion is being expressed in each. The test is considered a(n) (44)________ of empathy. Overall, study participants scored better after reading literary fiction, versus the other three (45)________.It was a(n) (46)________ improvement, according to the principal researcher David Comer Kidd, "It's not like taking people from a ‘C' to an ‘A' ," he said. But, Kidd added, the effect was seen after only about 10 minutes’ reading, and it was a statistically strong finding, mean ing it's unlikely to have been due to (47)________.What's so (48)________ about literary fiction? It's usually more focused on character than on plot. There is usually no single "dominant narrator" who takes readers through the story. It (49)________ that the readers should think about the characters and fill in the gaps. The author doesn't tell you what to think. Readers have to make (50)________ about characters. And that's often what people are doing in the real-life conversations."This is great study!" said Raymond Mar, an associate professor of psychology at York University, who was not involved in the new study. (51)________, he added that the overall research in this area is "still in its infancy" and one key question is whether literary fiction really (52)________ other types of fiction. So, it's too early to tell people to (53)________ their romance novel for Nobel literature, at least if the goal is boosting empathy.But it is (54)________ that the findings suggest literature is important beyond entertainment or improving vocabulary. “There’s a common belief that reading literature is frivolous(可笑的), or not practical,” Mar said. “But there's a growing body of evidence that it's important in (55)________ that we need in our lives.”41.

A. conversations B. moods C. skills D. innovationsSection BDirections:Read the following three passages. Each passage is followed by several questions or unfinished statements. For each of them there are four choices marked A, B, C and D. Choose the one that fits best according to the information given in the passage you have just read.(A)There are few situations more unpleasant than a television presenter trying to hang on to a job. When one of the presenters of the BBC program Crimewatch resigned recently, rather than suffer the inevitable indignity of being unfinished and replaced by a younger version, he made the usual hurt noises about his masters’ overemphasis on youth. People in the media listened sympathetically before he slid from view to join the ranks of television’s has-beens.The presenter’s argument, that the viewers don’t care how old you are so long as you can “do the job,” unfortunately is not backed up by the evidence. When you're on TV, viewers are always thinking about whether you're losing your hair or your figure and, lately, whether you've had cosmetic work done. This is what they’re actually doing when you think they’re listening to the wise things you say. Viewers actually don't understand much of what the job involves, they just see you sitting there looking the part. Like the ability to pat one’s head while rubbing one's stomach, TV presenting is just one of those skills. Some of those who possess this skill can hit the big name. inevitablyas they become more attached to the lifestyle this brings, however, the more likely they are to overstate the skill.In reality，if somebody is paying you a lot of money to do a job，it's often on the tacit(心照不宣的)understanding that you may be fired suddenly---it's part of the deal. Unlike football managers, TV presenters pretend not to understand this. If they’ve had many years being paid silly sums to read a script from an autocue(自动题词机)，it's difficult for them to accept that they³ve been the beneficiary of good fortune rather than anything else; even harder to face the fact that an editor could all too easily send them to the shopping channels.Something similar eventually awaits all the people who are currently making fortunes that would have been unimaginable to earlier generations of presenters. One day we'll decide that their face no longer fits and they³ll be dragged away complaining about the same ageist policy from which they no doubt previously profited. Show business is a brutal(残忍的)business. The one thing it reliably punishes is age, particularly among women. That's why, at the age of fifty, female TV presenters become female radio presenters and why girl bands planning to re-form need to get it done before they're forty, after which it will get too hard for everyone to suspend their collective disbelief.56. What does the writer imply about the Crimewatch presenter he mentions in the first paragraph?A. He was unwise to resign when he did.B. He will soon be forgotten by the viewers.C. He may well have had a valid point to make.D. He was treated insensitively by his employers.57. The underlined pronoun “this" in paragraph 2 refers to .A. a public imageB. a level of successC. an overstatementD. a common misunderstanding58.

Nov.16D.Nov.20（C）Students of United States history, seeking to identify the circumstances that encouraged the emergence of feminist(女权主义者) movements, have thoroughly investigated the mid-nineteenth-century American economic and social conditions that affected the status of women. These historians, however, have analyzed less fully the development of specifically feminist ideas and activities during the same period. Furthermore, the ideological origins of feminism in the United States have been obscured because, even when historians did take into account those feminist ideas and activities occurring within the United States, they failed to recognize that feminism was then a truly international movement actually centered in Europe. American feminist activists who have been described as “solitary” and “individual theorists” were in reality connected to a movement utopian socialism--which was already popularizing feminist ideas in Europe during the two decades that culminated(到达顶峰) in the first women’s rights conference held at Seneca Falls. New York, in 1848. Thus, a complete understanding of the origins and development of nineteenth-century feminism in the United States requires that the geographical focus be widened to include Europe and that the detailed study already made of social conditions be expanded to include the ideological development of feminism.The earliest and most popular of the utopian socialists were the Saint-Simonians. The specifically feminist part of Saint-Simoniamism has, however, been less studied than the group’s contribution to early socialism. This is regrettable on two counts. By 1832 feminism was the central concern of Saint-Simonianism and entirely absorbed itsadherents’ energy; hence, by ignoring its feminism. European historians have misunderstood Saint-Simonianism. Moreover, since many feminist ideas can be traced to Saint-Simonianism, European historians’ appreciation of later feminism in France and the United States remained limited.Saint-Simon's followers, many of whom were women, based their feminism on an interpretation of his project to reorganize the globe by replacing brute force with the rule of spiritual powers. The new world order would be ruled together by a male, to represent reflection, and a female, to represent sentiment. This complementarity reflects the fact that, while the Saint-Simonians did not reject the belief that there were innate differences between men and women, they nevertheless foresaw an equally important social and political role for both sexes in their Utopia.Only a few Saint-Simonians opposed a definition of sexual equality based on gender distinction. This minority believed that individuals of both sexes were born similar in capacity and character, and they owed male-female differences to socialization and education. The envisioned result of both currents of thought, however, was that women would enter public life in the new age and that sexual equality would reward men as well as women with an improved way of life.63. It can be inferred that the author considers those historians who describe early feminists in the United States as“solitary” to be______________.A. insufficiently familiar with the international origins of nineteenth-century American feminist thoughtB. overly concerned with the regional diversity of feminist ideas in the period before 1848C. not focused narrowly enough in their geo-graphical scopeD. insufficiently aware of the ideological consequence of the Seneca Falls conference64. According to the passage, which of the following is true of the Seneca Falls conference on women’s rights?A. It was primarily a product of nineteenth-century Saint-Simonian feminist thought.B. It was the work of American activists who were independent of feminists abroadC. It was the culminating achievement of the Utopian socialist movement.D. It was a manifestation of an international movement for social change and feminism65.It can be inferred from the passage that the author believes that study of Saint-Simonianism is necessary for.historians of American feminism because such study______________.A. would clarify the ideological origins of those feminist ideas that influenced American feminismB. would increase understanding of a movement that deeply influenced the Utopian socialism of early American.feministsC. would focus attention on the most important aspect of Saint-Simonian thought before 1832D. promises to offer insight into a movement that was a direct outgrowth of the Seneca Falls conference of 184866. According to the passage, which of the following would be the most accurate description of the society.envisioned by most Saint-Simonians?A. A society in which women were highly regarded for their extensive educationB. A society in which the two genders played complementary roles and had equal statusC. A society in which women did not enter public lifeD. A social order in which body of men and women would rule together on the basis of their spiritual power Section CDirections: Read the passage carefully.

It doesn’t matter what it is but do it without fail to create a strong association in your mind,” she says.Be realistic about what you can achieve“A wide, open day working from home can feel full of possibilities. 145 things on the to do list? No problem! Don't fall into the trap of being over-ambitious," says Eyre-White. Instead, she recommends being realistic and then possibly achieving more than you set out to; and feeling satisfied, rather than feeling disappointed you didn't do everything.She suggests choosing three to five things to do and aim to get the majority done before lunch.“(68)______________” she recommends.Work in short burstsIn the office your day is broken up by everything from meetings to water-cooler chats, lunch breaks and even toilet breaks, but when you are sat at home on your own with no face-to-face interaction planned it can be easy to just work for long, unbroken periods.“(69)_____________ Although this can be frustrating, they divide the day up and create natural chunks of time,” explains Eyre-White. “In contrast, a day at home can be very unstructured.”In order to be productive, she recommends imposing stricture on yourself. For example, working in 45-60 minute chunks of focused work followed by a short break.” This can be an effective way to break the day up and maintain your concentration levels,” she says.Manage distractionsBeing in an office gives us a limited number of ways to get distracted but when you start working in a new environment (especially a very familiar one) it can be easy to let yourself get distracted.“(70)_________________” says Byre-White. “So proactively manage things which might interrupt your focus.” She explains: “Keep them limited to short breaks in between chunks of focused work. A change of scene is all we need to give our brain a break, and it’s the perfect time to put a load of washing on or empty the dishwasher.”V.

The author came to the valley to fish as well as to make peace with his worried mind.B. The deafening sound of the waterfall made the author and his dog quite scared.C. The author's parents advised him to discover nature in the depths of the valley.D.

"There has been a kind of revival or a rethinking about what role guilt can serve"，says Amrisha Vaish,a psychology researcher at the University of Virginia,adding that this revival is part of a larger recognition that emotions aren't binary - feelings that may be advantageous in one context may be harmful in another.Jealousy and anger,for example,may have evolved to alert us to important inequalities.Too much happiness can be destructive. And guilt,by prompting us to think more deeply about our own goodness,can encourage humans to make up for errors and fix relationships.Guilt,in other words,can help hold a cooperative species together.It is a kind of social glue.Viewed in this light,guilt is an opportunity.Work by Tina Malti,a psychology professor at the University of Toronto,suggests that guilt may compensate for an emotional deficiency.In a number of studies,Malti and others have shown that guilt and sympathy may represent different pathways to cooperation and sharing.Some kids who are low in sympathy may make up for that shortfall by experiencing more guilt,which can control their disgusting behaviors.And vice versa：high sympathy can substitute for low guilt.In a 2014 study,for example,Malti looked at 244 ing caregiver assessments and the children's self-observations,she rated each child's overall sympathy level and his or her tendency to feel negative emotions after moral wrongdoings.Then the kids were handed chocolate coins,and given a chance to share them with an anonymous child.For thelow-sympathy kids,how much they shared appeared to turn on how likely they were to feel guilty.The ones more likely to feel guilty tended to share more,even though they hadn't magically become more sympathetic to the other children."That's good news," Malti says. "We can be prosocial because we caused harm and we feel regret."25.The underlined word "appease" in the first paragraph is closest in meaning to " ______ ".A. contentB. disappointC. amuseD. distract26.The writer mentions the comparison of guilt to " a jacket stuffed with stones" to showpeople's ______ .A. general impression of guilt being overestimatedB. incorrect idea about the nature and function of guiltC. out-of date belief of guilt being their primary burdenD. long-held prejudice against those who often feel guilty27.What can be inferred from the chocolate coin experiment______A.

Rising from the center of the Arctic Basin, the flag sent a clear message to the surrounding nations: Russia had just laid claim(权利) to the vast oil and gas reserves contained in this underwater area.AfterRussia, theUnited States,Norway,SwedenandFinlandare all trying to gain profit. Projections show that the area of land and sea that falls within theArctic Circleis home to an estimated 90 billion barrels of oil, an incredible 13% of Earth’s reserves. It’s also estimated to contain almost a quarter of untapped global gas resources. But long before this oil race began, how did theArcticbecome so rich in energy?“The first thing you realize is that theArctic—unlike the Antarctic—is an ocean surrounded by continents”, Alastair Fraser, a geoscientist from Imperial College London, said. Firstly, this means there’s a huge quantity of organic material available, in the form of dead sea creatures such as plankton and algae, which form the basis of what will ultimately become oil and gas. Secondly, the surrounding ring of continents means that the Arctic Basin contains a high proportion of continental crust(大陆地壳), which makes up about 50% of its oceanic area. That’s significant because continental crust typically contains deep depressions called basins, into which organic matter sinks.Here, it gets inserted in rock and preserved in anoxic(缺氧) waters, meaning they contain little oxygen. “Normally, in a shallow sea with lots of oxygen, it would not be preserved. But if the sea is deep enough, the oxygenated waters at the top will be separated from the anoxic conditions at the base,” Fraser explained. Conserved within these oxygen-free basins, the matter maintains compounds that finally make it useful as an energy source for millions of years in the future.4. Why didRussiaplant a national flag onto the Lomonosov Ridge?A. To tell surrounding countries its armed forces.B. To show its advanced technology of submarines.C. To show abundant natural resources in theArcticBasin.D. To claim its privilege to explore for oil and gas in the area.5. What’s the function of the last sentence in paragraph 2?A.

Oxygen only exists in the top part of the ocean.B. Organic materials mostly exist in the basins with oxygen.C. Water containing oxygen turns organic materials into oil and gas.D. Oxygen-free environment counts in the formation of the arctic’s rich energy.7. What can be a suitable title for the text?A. What makes theArcticattractive?B. Why do many nations focus on theArctic?C. Why is there so much oil in theArctic?D. How does theArcticBasincome into being?CWhile the start of a new school year is always exciting, this year was even more so for some elementary school students inAuckland,New Zealand. They became the world’s first kids to be “taught” by a digital teacher.Before you start imagining a human-like robot walking around the classroom, Will is just an avatar that appears on the student’s desktop, or smartphone screen, when ordered to come.The autonomous animation platform has been modeled after the human brain and nervous system, allowing it to show human-like behavior. The digital teacher is assigned to teach Vector’s “Be sustainable with energy”— a free program forAucklandelementary schools.Just like the humans it replaced, Will is able to instantly react to the students’ responses to the topic. Thanksto a webcam and microphone, the avatar not only responds to questions the kids may have, but also picks up non-verbal cues. For instance, if a student smiles at Will, he responds by smiling back. This two-way interaction not only helps attract the students’ attention, but also allows the program’s developers to monitor their engagement, and make changes if needed.Nikhil Ravishankar believes that Will-like avatars could be a novel way to catch the attention of the next generation. He says, “I have a lot of hope in this technology as a means to deliver cost-effective, rich, educational experience in the future.”The program, in place since August 2018, has been a great success thus far. Ravishankar says, “ What was fascinating to me was the reaction of the children to Will. The way they look at the world is so creative and different, and Will really captured their attention.” However, regardless of how popular it becomes, Will is unlikely to replace human educators any time soon.8. What was special for some elementary school students inAuckland?A. A digital teacher taught them.B. They first saw something digital.C. This was the start of a new school year.D. They could get close to smartphone screen.9. What is the benefit of this two-way interaction?A. It can smile back.B. It can use microphone.C. It can talk any topic for free.D. It can change if necessary.10. What’s Ravishankar’s attitude to Will’s replacing Human educators soon?A. Optimistic.B. Doubtful.C. Unclear.D. Disapproving.11. What might be the best title for the passage?A. New High-tech Contributes to EducationB. The World’s First Digital Teacher Appears in Classroom.C. The World’s First Digital Teacher, a Help to StudentsD.New ZealandWill Replace Teachers in ClassroomsDIf you travel inAthens, against popular belief, I would highly recommend saving the Acropolis for your secondday. As attractive as it is to head straight to the most famous building in the city, there are several reasonswhy you should hold off until later.Sunriseis the best time to see the ruins, and who wants to spend their first day in anew citywaking up at6 a.m.? On top of that, the Acropolis is going to make every other site inAthensless important in comparison, so I recommend not hitting it on your first day.We got to the southeast gate at 7：30, half an hour before it opened at 8. When the gate opened, we rushed to the hill. Our plan paid off because we had the whole complex to ourselves for five minutes. In this age of overtourism, getting to the greatness of the Acropolis with nobody else around felt special and excited.The Acropolis is the name given to the complex on top of the hill, and it’s made up of several buildings. There’s theTempleofAthena Nike, the Parthenon, the Old Temple of Athena, the Legendary Olive Tree of the Pandroseion, the Porch of the Caryatids at the Erechtheion... and on your way down, the Odeon of Herodes Atticus.Something that sounds boring but isn’t is theAcropolisMuseum, and I recommend spending a couple of hours there. As someone who is a museum-avoider, I listened to the recommendations of everyone who had been, and made myself go inside. And I loved it. The museum houses tons of sculptures unearthed from the Acropolis, and it was interesting to check them out.Head toSyntagma Squarenext to watch the changing of the guard. This takes place every hour on the hour, so try to time your visit perfectly. The guards wear fun clothes and make for interesting photos.12. The author suggests visiting the Acropolis on the second day so that ___________.A. it can save visitors a lot of timeB. it can save visitors from getting up earlyC. it can make for a better travel experienceD. it can give visitors a better understanding ofAthens13. How did the author feel when he ran to the top of the hill?A. Bored.B. Worried.C. Relaxed.D. Amazed.14. With what may the author agree about theAcropolisMuseum?A. It is so great that it should be visited last.B. It is enjoyable and worth visiting.C. It wastes a lot of time.D. It should be avoided.15. What is the purpose of the text?A. To provide some advice on visiting the Acropolis.B. To introduce the history of the Acropolis.C. To call on people to protect historic sites.D. To encourage people to travel around.第二节（共5小题；每小题2分，满分10分）阅读下面短文，从短文后的选项中选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。

SoulBA seven-year-old boy who loves toys has now become a toy himself. Ryan, a first-grade student, has been making YouTube videos for three years.

Parents Should Follow Kids' InterestsCWomen have put up with jibes(嘲笑) about their driving for decades. Now a report claims to have finally put an end to the debate ----with conclusive(确凿的) evidence that women really are better drivers than men.Men are four times more likely to end up in court for motoring crimes and twice as likely to make insurance claims, it reveals. This is reflected in the fact that men typically pay £92 a year more than women for their insurance.The average premium(保险费) for women is £701, with men paying £793, according to comparison website , which published the report.Official figures reveal that 585.000 drivers in England were taken to court last year for motoring offences. Just under eight in ten of those were men---outnumbering women by almost four to one. Some 23 percent of these offences were men caught speeding---- significantly higher than women at 7 percent. Men also outweighed women by five to one when it came todrink-driving offences and were twice as likely to be driving without either tax or insurance as women.And male drivers cost insurers more when it comes to claims payouts, suggesting they have been in more accidents than women. In 2017, two out of three insurance claims were made by men, of which 17 percent were fault claims. In comparison, only one in three claims last year came from women ----9 percent of which were at fault.And not only do men make more claims, but they tend to be a little more expensive. They claimed £3,271 per payout on average, while typical payouts for women were slightly cheaper at £3,121. This could be down to the fact that men often own more expensive cars, with an average value of £8,654. Women, however, are driving around in cars with a value of £7,090.8. How many women drivers were taken to court last year in England?A.585.000.B.468.000.C.117.000.D.351，000.9. How many times do men outweigh women as to drink-driving offences?A. Four times.B. Five times.C. Twice.D. Three times10. What can we learn about insurance claims according to the text?A. Insurers will pay more on male drivers.B. Female drivers made more accidents.C. Two thirds were made by femalesD. 17 percent of female claims were fault ones.11. Why do men drivers’ claims tend to be more expensive?A. Men often drink after driving.B. Women drive without tax.C. Men often own more expensive cars.D. Men often repair their cars using claims.DSleeping badly or working night shifts could be making you fat, weak and more likely to become diabetic. A study has revealed short or restless sleep changes the way people's DNA works and makes the body more dedicated to storing fat.Muscles get smaller and fat stores begin to rise when people lose as little as one night's sleep, the experts find. Although midnight snacks or being too tired to exercise could be blamed for tired people getting fatter, there may now be a more scientific reason. Researchers have linked losing sleep to weight gain in the past but have found it difficult to explain一now they reveal it could be linked to the body clock. And a tired body also becomes less able to handle sugar in the blood which raises the risk of someone developing type 2 diabetes（二型糖尿病）.Sleep researchers from Uppsala University in Sweden did a study on 15 people who they tested after a full night's sleep and after a sleepless night. They took fat and muscle tissue samples and collected blood from the healthy weight participants and found the way their DNA worked had changed. The researchers say their findings are important because high levels of body fat increase the risk of the world's biggest causes of death: cancer, heart diseases and strokes. People's sensitivity to blood sugar is also dampened when they're tired, which suggest those who don't sleep well are at higher risk of type 2 diabetes.“We saw that the (fatty) tissue is attempting to increase its capacity to store fat following sleep loss,” said Dr Cedernaes, "whereas we observed signs of breakdown of skeletal muscle. We also noted changes in levels of proteins involved handling blood glucose(葡萄糖), and this could help explain why the participants’ glucose sensitivity was impaired(伤害) following sleep loss.”Taken together, these observations may provide at least partial insight(了解) as to why chronic sleep loss and shift work can increase the risk of adverse weight gain as well as the risk oftype 2 diabetes.12. What's the new scientific reason for people's getting fatter?A. Midnight snacks.B. Lack of exercise.C. The body clock.D.The gene.13. Why do the researchers think their findings are important?A. Their research will make a great profitB. Too much body fat leads to deadly disease.C Their research will improve the quality of sleep.D. They can change the genes of the human body.14. What can b e learned from Dr.Cedernaes’s statement?A. Sleep loss increase muscle.B. Sleep loss increase glucose sensitivity.C. Sleep loss makes the tissue store less fat.D. Sleep loss may lead to type 2 diabetes.15. What’s the best title for the t ext?A. Sleeping Badly Will Make You FatB. Heart Disease and Sleep LossC. The Death Rate and Sleep LossD.
