Brands，the company that owns KFC，Taco Bell and Pizza Hut，has announced a zero deforestation policy for its palm oil sourcing.The move came after aggressive campaigns by environmental groups.They argued the chains werent doing enough to ensure the palm oil they used to fry food wasnt linked to human rights abuses and the cutting down of rainforests.The policy sets a December 2017 target for establishing protective measures for palm oil sourcing.Yum! says it will only source from suppliers who avoid plantation development in high carbon stock and high conservation value areas，like rainforests.Meanwhile，Yum! has a similar set of policies for its paper and fiber sourcing.The announcement was quickly welcomed by Greenpeace，which campaigned against the companys paper sourcing practices in 2012.“Yum! Brands new palm oil policy is a good sign.This indicates that its listening to customers around the world who want rainforest destruction taken off the menu，” said Rolf Skar，Forest Campaign Director at Greenpeace USA.Skar added that Greenpeace still wants Yum! to “more clearly define terms like high carbon stock forest and best management practices for peatlands in order to make sure change really happens on the ground”However，the Union of Concerned Scientists (UCS)，a nonprofit organisation，released a scorecard giving Yum! a zero out of 100 rank on its palm oil policy，and wanted more from the company.“The company scored a zero as of yesterday，but its recent announcement will surely raise its score somewhat，” said UCSs Lael Goodman.“The problem is that palm oil is also a common ingredient in some of the companys products that are not covered under the commitment.If Yum!

The following tips are a great beginning for developing our creativity.1Get out of your comfort zoneWe eagerly accept the familiar and fear the unknown.Break out of your usual patterns and welcome creativity into your life.As stated earlier，the human brain was designed to recognize patterns.2. In fact，our comfort zone is nothing more than a collection of patterns.As we become more efficient at recognizing and using patterns，we rely less on creativity to find new paths.We should force ourselves out of our comfort zones and open up new possibilities.2Try different thingsIf you always do what youve always done，youll always get what youve always got.We are creatures of habits and routines，and creativity hates routines.If you usually drive to work，take the subway for a few days.3. Interrupt your routine，experiment and try something new.New things are often creative，but the same old thing never is.34. Having a great idea is not enough; you must work to make it a reality.Have you ever seen a new product and realized that you thought of the same thing long ago? Yet someone else is making money with “your” idea.5. The difference between a dreamer and a doer is action.Do whatever it takes to bring your ideas to life.If you can put them into practice，you are well on your way to improving your creativity in all areas of your life.ATake actionBSeek several optionsCThink from the other persons point of view.DIf you normally eat in the office，have lunch under a tree.EThe truth is that we are all born with the capacity to be creative.FWe continue to create patterns and routines for almost everything we do.GWe all have great ideas sometimes，but only a few people turn their ideas into realities.【语篇解读】本文主要介绍了一些培养创造力的技巧。1解析：选E。根据空后的“The following tips are a great beginning for developing our creativity.”可知，事实上，我们是天生有创造力的，问题是如何开发这些创造力，所以选E项。2解析：选F。根据上下文的“Break out of your usual patterns”“to recognize patterns”和“a collection of patterns”可知，应选F项。3解析：选D。根据空前的一句和空后的“Interrupt your routine，experiment and try something new.”可推知，我们应有所创新，打破常规，因此选D项。4解析：选A。根据下文的“The difference between a dreamer and a doer is action.”可知，有了梦想后，最重要的是要立即行动，所以选A项。5解析：选G。根据上文中的“Having a great idea is not enough; you must work to make it a reality.”与下文中的“The difference between a dreamer and a doer is action.”可知，应选G项，G项起承上启下的作用。Part 2阅读完形组合准度练(建议用时40).阅读理解(共8小题；每小题2分，满分16分)AWhen we think about the value of exercise，we tend to focus on the physical benefits.But over the past decade，social scientists have discovered more immediate benefits of regular exercise: its impact on the way we think.Studies indicate that our energy is directly linked to our exercise.Consider the following benefits，all of which you can expect as a result of putting regular exercise into your routine: improved concentration; sharper memory; faster learning; lower stress.There is also evidence suggesting that exercise during regular working hours may improve performance.Within the study，researchers had over 200 employees at a variety of companies selfreport their performance on a daily basis.Heres what they found: On days when employees visited the gym，their experience at work changed.They reported managing their time more effectively，being more productive，and getting on well with their colleagues.They went home feeling more satisfied at the end of the day.What prevents us from exercising more often? For many of us，the answer is simple: We dont have the time.In fairness，this is a reasonable explanation.There are weeks when work is overwhelming and deadlines outside our control need to be met.But lets be clear: What we really mean when we say we dont have time for an activity is that we dont consider it a priority given the time we have available.Exercise enables us to soak in more information，work more efficiently，and be more productive.And yet many of us continue to think of it as a luxury.Instead of viewing exercise as something we do for ourselves，its time we started considering physical activity as part of the work itself.1What is the main idea of the passage?ARegular exercise is part of our job.BTaking exercise can make us strong.CWe should spend more time outside.DThe physical benefits should be known.2It is generally thought that regular exercise Ahas great effect on our mind to some extentBcontributes a lot to our good health physicallyCdetermines whether a person will succeed or notDis certain to take up too much time and energy3What did the researchers find about the employees?AThe employees went to the gym when on duty.BThe employees devoted themselves to work.CThe employees were very satisfied with their work.DThe employees got benefits from exercise.4Many people fail to find time to exercise because Athey have to work hard to make ends meetBthey can give a sound explanationCthey in fact know little of regular exerciseDthey dont take doing exercise seriously【语篇解读】新的研究表明，体育锻炼不仅能强身健体，而且能让人精力充沛，与同事和谐相处，提高工作效率。1解析：选A。主旨大意题。文章讲述了经常锻炼对身体的益处；第二段说明了锻炼使人集中精力、记忆清晰、更快速学习、压力小等；文章结尾强调了要把锻炼作为工作的一部分。故选A项。2解析：选B。细节理解题。依据文章第一句When we think about the value of exercise，we tend to focus on the physical benefits.可知，人们常常认为锻炼对身体有益。故选B项。3解析：选D。细节理解题。文章第三段讲述了研究人员发现200多名员工因为体育锻炼受益。故选D项。4解析：选D。推理判断题。依据文章倒数第二段可知，作者认为任何理由都构不成你不锻炼的原因，找理由是因为你没有把锻炼放在首位。故选D项。B(2017江西九江市高三二模)The elephant was lying heavily on its side，fast asleep.A few dogs started barking at it.The elephant woke up in terrible anger: it chased the dogs into the village where they ran for safety.

But Parbati doesnt catch elephants just for fun.“My work，” she says，“is to rescue men from the elephants，and to keep the elephants safe from men.” And this is exactly what Parbati has been doing for many years.Increasingly，the Indian elephant is angry: for many years，illegal hunters have attacked it and its home in the jungle has been reduced to small pieces of land.It is now fighting back.Whenever wild elephants enter a tea garden or a village，Parbati is called to guide the animals back to the jungle before they can kill. The work of an elephant tamer also involves love and devotion.A good elephant tamer will spend hours a day singing love songs to a newly captured elephant.“Eventually they grow to love their tamers and never forget them.They are also more loyal than humans，” she said，as she climbed up one of her elephants and sat on the giant，happy animal.An elephant princess indeed!5For Parbati，catching elephants is mainly to Aget longlasting excitementBkeep both men and elephants safeCsend them back to the jungleDmake the angry elephants tame6Before Parbati studied in a boarding school， Ashe spent her time hunting with her father Bshe learned how to sing love songs Cshe had already been called the elephant princessDshe was taught how to hunt tigers7Indian elephants are getting increasingly angry and they revenge because Athey are caught and sent for heavy workBillegal hunters capture them and kill themCthey are attacked and their land gets limitedDdogs often bark at them and chase them8The passage starts with an elephant story in order to explain that Apeople easily fall victim to elephants attacksBthe manelephant relationship is getting worseCelephant tamers are in short supplyDdogs are as powerful as elephants【语篇解读】本文介绍了大象公主Parbati的故事。5解析：选B。细节理解题。根据第五段的第二句“My work，she says
