It says one in five children in the UK are now obese, while one in three are overweight, due to eating too much sugar and fat.The group has put forward a six-point plan to discourage adolescents from consuming foods and soft drinks with high levels of added sugar. The group wants measures brought in to cut added sugar and fat in food and to ban sports sponsorship by “junk food” companies. The Department of Health says it will consider the suggestions.The six measures include:Reduce added sugar in food by 40% by 2020.Ban all forms of marketing unhealthy foods and drinks for children.Ban sports sponsorship by companies that produce junk food.Reduce fat by 15% in ultra-processed foods by 2020.Limit the availability of ultra-processed(深加工的) foods and sweetened soft drinks.Introduce a sugar tax to support healthier food.The groups chairman, Prof Graham MacGregor, says current policies are not working and that obesity can be prevented if the food environment is changed.Dr Aseem Malhotra, consultant of Action on Sugar, says, “Im disappointed that food industry continues to spend billions on junk food which usually has a lot of added sugar.”Earlier this year Dame Sally Davies, the chief medical officer for England, said a sugar tax might have to be introduced to reduce obesity.21.

Most of the ink on the postcard had faded, but they were able to figure out that a 20-year-old man named Richard Platz threw the bottle into the sea while on a trip in 1913. A researcher then tracked down Angela Erdmann, the now 62-year-old granddaughter of Platz.Erdmann was able to hold the bottle for the first time last week at the Hamburg Museum. Even though she never met her grandfather, holding the bottle was still a very special experience. “That was a pretty moving moment,” she said. “Tears rolled down my cheeks.”The bottle will go on display at the Hamburg Museum.

He was 3 years old, from Syria which was torn by the wars.His final journey was supposed to end in temporary settlement in Europe; instead it has taken away his life and has showed Syrian peoples hardship since World War II.The picture of the lifeless body of the boy who had just learnt to walk affected the whole globe, causing the public anger and embarrassing political leaders as far away as Canada, where the government had refused the boys relatives application for asylum(庇护).The child in red T-shirt and shorts was found facedown by the seaside. He had come from Kobani, a town near the Turkish border that has witnessed months of heavy fighting between Islamic State and Syrian Kurdish forces.The boy drowned after the 15-foot boat carrying him from the Turkish beach to the Greek island turned over shortly before dawn on Wednesday. The accident killed 12 passengers, Aylans 5-year-old brother, Galip, and his mother, Rehan, were also among the dead. His father, Abdullah, was the only family member to survive.The kids father, who was desperate, said outside the morgue(停尸间) on Thursday, “From now on, I will live in Kobani too. I want to be buried with my family.” Mr. Kurdi brought his family to Turkey three years ago, after escaping from fighting first in Damascus, where he worked as a barber, then in Aleppo, then Kobani.From his hospital bed on Wednesday, Abdullah told Syrian radio station that he had worked on construction sites for 50 Turkish lire a day, but it wasnt enough to live on. He said they depended on his sister, Tima Kurdi, who lived in Canada, for help paying the rent.Canadian media had cited Ms Kurdi in Wednesday reports saying Aylans family had applied to immigrate to Canada, but the application was rejected because “it did not meet regulatory requirements for proof of refugee status recognition(难民身份证明)”.28.

The boat in the accident was over burdened.DWell-known Norman Vincent Peale writes his best-selling book The Power of Positive Thinking. He believed that ordinary people could become really quite remarkable when they start thinking that they can do things, and when they believe in themselves. They have the secret of success. If you look back on history, youll see many examples of ordinary people who have achieved extraordinary achievement. Many of the best known people, who have left their mark in the pages of history, failed many times on their climbing up the ladder. This is not a “history lesson”, so we wont go into the specifics(详情), but there is no doubt that this is true. These people had something in common. They had self confidence as well as perseverance(毅力) in achieving their goals, and a sense of fulfillment. Most successful people have a “can do” attitude. While failure is always possible, they face failure bravely and approach life with an optimistic attitude. Above all you must have a goal clearly in mind. Its like the parent asking their child what they want to be when they grow up. You, and only you, can decide where you want to go on your travel through life. But you cant sit on the top of a hill and think pleasantly all day. You have to come down to the real world and set your objectives. You must have a plan of action, and follow it. In other words, plan your work and work your plan. While things come up to delay you at times, you mustnt give up your goals. You must be organized, and have a system in place to attain your objectives. If you are fired with enthusiastic ideas and allow them to control your thoughts you will find that new horizons will open. As long as your enthusiasm lasts, new opportunities also will. Dont wait for the chances to beat a path to your doorthey wont. Search out and seek new opportunities. Allow yourself to think outside the boundaries. Remember, failure is merely a stepping stone on your road to success, and if you exercise positive thinking, youll reach your objective. 32. According to the passage, what are the remarkable people in history in common? A. They believed in themselves and persevered. B. They all served the people heart and soul. C. They failed many times in their struggling. D. They all came from the ordinary families. 33. According to Paragraph 3 the author advises us to _ to realize our aim. A. work hard day and night B. work in an organized teamC. work systematically or orderly D. work by following others examples34. What will take place if you always have enthusiastic ideas? A. You can wait for success to come. B. Opportunities come about constantly. C. You will have fewer difficulties indeed. D. The success will beat a path to your door. 35. Which of the following would be the best title for this passage? A. Perseverance leads to success. B. Believe you can do something. C. Enthusiasm controls our thoughts. D. Please treat failure in life wisely. 第二节（共5小题；每小题2分, 满分10分） 根据短文内容, 从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。Eco-travel is also called green travel, which is a form of travel that combines normal tourism with learning, as well as a way to find out what can be done to help animals, plants and people. Nowadays people tend to choose green travel. 36 1. Choose green hotelsGreen travel starts from choosing green hotels. Hotels vary in their environmentally friendly measures, and they will display them on their websites, so take a glance at such information. 37 It may also take an effective approach to reducing energy consumption and cutting down on packaging waste. 2. Pack for a green tripPacking for your vacation is also a good time to think about the environment. Many times, we buy new toiletries when we travel and get rid of them later because theyre not worth bringing back. Instead of adding to the worlds waste, make a one-off purchase of reusable bottles that you can fill from your home supply. Finally, pack light. 38 3. 39 Speaking of planes, one of the issues many travelers face is how they get to their destinations. Some people like slow travel and take internal trips to avoid plane journeys, but that may not be as eco-friendly as you think. If you are driving a car, it really affects the ozone(臭氧) layer. In contrast, if you work out carbon emissions per person in a plane, it might be less damaging than you think. The truth is that theres no easy answer, so the trick is to take the most appropriate travel route and then save on travel when you arrive at your destination. 4. Find additional help with eco-tourismIf youre looking for additional help on green travel, there are a number of resources that can provide further information. 40 A. Over-weight package will cost you some extra money. B. Choose a proper means of transportC. If everyones cases are light, then the airplane needs less fuel. D. If this is your first eco-tourism, I have some tips to you. E. A modern eco-friendly hotel typically advocates all energy-saving policies. F. As well as the tips above, there are many organizations that can help you to take green travel. G. Suppose you like an eco-travel, here are some issues worth considering. 第三部分：英语知识运用（共二节, 满分45分）第一节：完形填空（共20小题：每小题1. 5分, 满分30分） 阅读下面的短文, 从短文后各题所给的四个选项（A、B、C和D）中, 选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项, 并在答题卡上将该项涂黑。I was 18 when my father died of cancer and I was devastated.
