A freshman is a first-year college student. “Fifteen” refers to fifteen pounds, the fifteen pounds added to a student’s weight in his or her first year. There are a number of reasons why first-year university students gain (增加) the weight, but it’s encouraging to know that fresh-men don’t have to add these harmful fifteen pounds.Mistakes choosing foodUniversity kitchens serve many kinds of food. Some students choose unhealthy food, because now their parents are not nearby to help them choose. Some students visit the kitchen many times while studying. Late at night, some students get harmful fast food such as fish and chips with Coke to drink. Students also have less time for walking, running, and doing sports because of their schoolwork.Eating rightIf you’re careful, you don’t have to add fifteen pounds. Here are some ideas:● Think more about what you eat.● Eat plenty of vegetables and healthy meats.● Don’t eat desserts full of sugar, have fruit after dinner.● Try not to eat so much unhealthy food while you study.● It’s all right to have a little fast food sometimes, but not often.● Write down the foods you eat.● Walk, run, do sports and you will feel better!Remember that the “freshman fifteen” can happen to anyone. Talk to your friends about it. Together, try to eat healthy food and not to eat unhealthy food. Walking, running, and playing sports is always more fun with friends. Help each other and you can have a healthy and happy freshman year.31．The “freshman fifteen” is ________.A．weight that high school students gainB．weight that first-year university students can gainC．fifteen pounds of food that first-year students eatD．fifteen students who eat unhealthy food32．The main idea of this reading is to ________.A．get students ready to gain fifteen poundsB．sell healthy food to new studentsC．help new university students not to gain fifteen poundsD．show the mistakes students make in studying33．Which of these mistakes students make for choosing food is not mentioned in the reading?A．Choosing unhealthy food.B．Visiting the kitchen while studying.C．Getting fast food at night.D．Eating too much chocolate.34．How many ideas about “eating right” in the reading?A．4B．5C．6D．735．Which of these ideas would the writer probably agree with?A．You’d better not eat unhealthy food.B．Not eating unhealthy food is easier with friends’ help.C．Gaining fifteen pounds can help you study better.D．Some students can eat anything they want.What do people do with their old, out-of-date but still useful computers? Most people don’t know what to do with them. Many old computers are put away in homes. Many more are simply thrown out with the rubbish.Finally, some companies are thinking of ways to bring down the number of old computers. Sony has agreed to help recycle old Sony products (产品). Dell, Hewlett-Packard and other companies now also take back some old computers. In some countries, laws are being passed, too. Computer companies will have to pay for collecting and recycling their used products. And 70% of computer waste must be recycled. The idea behind the laws is that computer companies themselves should pay the cost. That will encourage them to make computers that are easier and cheaper to repair and upgrade (升级).Yet while many people are throwing away good computers, others can’t afford them at all. Hundreds of organizations (组织) are working to solve this problem. They collect and repair old computers. Some also teach others how to pair computers. The computers then go to schools, charities (慈养机构) and people who need them. Giving a used computer to one of these organizations can turn one person’s rubbish into someone else useful things and cut down in waste, too.36．What do many people do with old computer?A．They lend them to others.B．They stop using them.C．They sell them.D．They repair them37．How many computer waste must be recycled in the passage?A．50%B．61%C．70%D．77%. 38．According to the laws in some countries, companies must ________.A．make more cheaper computers B．collect all their used productsC．recycle most of their product D．repair and upgrade old computers 39．What do the organizations do to solve the problem of old computer?A．Help people to learn to use them.B．Turn rubbish into useful things.C．Help the computer companies to collect them.D．Repair and send them to these who need them.40．What is the main idea of this passage?A．Helping these who need computers.B．Encouraging to make cheap computers.C．Recycling old computers.D．Repairing old computers.DNA is the whole “map” of the human body. It is something that all humans have, and it tells the body what to do. DNA is the reason that we look like our parents, because we get some of their DNA to make our own.People have been trying to understand the human body for a long time. In 1860, Mr Mendel discovered why we look the same as other people in our family. It is because of small things called “genes” (基因) in our body. In 1953, two scientists, Watson and Crick, found out that those small parts are really messages. They’re written in the DNA with a special language.In 1961, another two scientists found the first “word” that they could understand in that language. It shows how DNA tells the cell (细胞) to build its parts. So far, scientists have found all the words in the DNA map, but we still do not understand what they all do. By understanding what just one “word” means, we can help to save people from several illnesses. So the more we understand, the more doctors will be able to do.Most people hope that this will help to make better medicine and help sick people. Other people worry that when we learn more “words” and find out more information, we will use it in the wrong way, just to make people more attractive (有吸引力的), or stop sick people getting jobs.41．In 1860, Mr Mendel discovered ________.A．map B．cell C．DNA D．genes42．In 1961, two scientists found ________.A．all the words in the DNA mapB．small things called “genes” in our bodyC．the first “word” they could understand in that languageD．those small parts are written in the DNA with a special language 43．How can we help sick people if we understand more “words” in the DNA map?A．Make better medicine.B．Make them get jobs.C．Make maps for them.D．Make them attractive. 44．Which one is not true according to the article?A．We look like our parents because of “genes” in our body.B．We have understood what all the words in the DNA map do.C．DNA is the whole “map” of the human body.D．DNA tells the cell to build its parts.45．What do people think about this research about DNA?46．What is The Three-Body Problem?A．It’s a book.B．It’s a play.C．It’s a sport D．It’s a shop. 47．Who gave the question about Chinese sci-fi?A．Uzair Faiz B．Natasha Ellis C．Wang Hexuan D．The writer 48．What is Liu Cixin’s book about?A．It’s about robots.B．It’s about aliens.C．It’s about artificial intelligence.D．It’s about food.49．What did Uzair Faiz do years ago?A．Helped people to watch the movie.B．Read the English translation of The Three-Body Problem.C．Focused on the books of robots.D．Watched the movie The Wandering Earth.50．What makes Chinese sci-fi stand out?A．Superhero unfold a proton and put machine parts into it.B．Showing how to work together to overcome our biggest challenges.C．One person saves the world.D．It is touching and covers one aspect.四、填写适当的单词补全对话根据对话内容，在每个空缺处填入一个适当的词，使整段对话意思完整，请把该空缺处的词填写在答题卡相应的位置上。
