You can use the pineapple core for all kinds of recipes, and there are tons of vitamins and minerals hiding within. To use the pineapple core: chop it and add it to fruit salad, blend it into smoothies, cut it into cubes and freeze for later use, or simply add it to water or even tea to improve flavor.Kiwi SkinIf you never thought you could eat kiwi in the way you eat a peach, think again. That skin really is good for you and contains a lot of vitamin C, and in fact, its also higher in fiber than the rest of the fruit. Of course, that rough, ugly skin isnt for everyone, so if you dont like it, try adding a whole kiwi to a smoothie to hide the taste of the skin.Banana PeelMost of us eat the banana without giving the soft peel a second thought. Heres why thats a mistake: banana peel contains tryptophan(色氨酸), which increases the happiness hormone to help with mood regulation and nerve system. There are a few creative ways to use the peel. Cook or boil for at least 10 minutes to soften. You can add it to smoothies, stir-fries, or soups. And, for a treat, simply slice and bake a banana with the skin on.WatermelonSkinandSeedThe delicious, red inside makes for a refreshing snack or juice, but youre able to get some powerful nutrients in the skin and seeds as well. Cut out the white part under the green outside and use it in your cooking. It has vitamin C and B6, to keep you healthy. As for the seeds, you can roast them in the oven. Then add them to salads or to nut snacks.21. Which of the following has a larger amount of fiber than its other parts?A. Pineapple cores. B. Kiwi skin.C. Banana peel. D. Watermelon skin and seeds.22. Which of the following statements is TRUE?A. All the food above can be added to smoothies.B. Kiwi skin can be roasted in the oven.C. Banana peel can help lift peoples moods.D. The green part of watermelon has vitamin C and B6.23. Where can we most probably read this text?A. In a botany instruction. B. In a medicine brochure.C. In a fruitarians recipe. D. In a nutrition report.BClimate change is a global problem that requires global effort，but the Cardozo family, like many in the district, are not able to wait for nations to put plans into place. They are already improving their businesses to be more climate tolerated.Maria Cardozo owns a large cattle farm outside Inapari. Cattle farming on an industrial scale is the largest driver of deforestation in the Amazon, but even smaller-scale operations like Marias require clearing several large hectares of trees.Maria says she doesnt have ways to the latest research on farming and climate tolerance, but she determines where she can. After seeing an informative program on an Argentinian TV channel, her team changed their fencing to allow their cattle less space to wander. It was an experiment Maria says worked: it reduced the number of calories the cattle burned and made them easier to grow in the heat.“We havent lost money, but we also havent grown,” she says of their business over the past decade. She and her family have begun to diversify the animals they raise，adding pigs，chickens，goats and horses.Marias brother Elias received 100,000 Peruvian soles (about 30,000 U. S. dollars) for his project. His plan to farm fish, instead of wild catching them，won a competition called Innovate Peru meant to help fund projects like his. In the nearby rivers, some species of fish like the larger Amazonian Paiche are being overfished, but in his fish farms, Elias can raise Paiche without threatening wild populations.Its Abraham Cardozo who works in the forest the most. In 2002，he founded a promising company called Maderacre that he sold in 2011. On the 220，000-hectare land，only the older trees are harvested.My dad used to say, “When you learn to live with the forest，you can have a good life,” says Abraham. He wants other businesses in the district to benefit from the forest, but in a way that they can continue using it forever, he says.24. What did Maria and her team do according to the text?A. They cut down a large number of trees，B. They killed some cattle and changed other kinds.C. They made limited room for the cattle to move about.D. They decreased the number of the animals to raise.25. Which one refers to a kind of animal?A. Inapari. B. Innovate Peru. C. Maderacre. D. Amazonian Paiche.26. Why does Abraham Cardozo only cut down the old trees?A. To earn much money. B. To build large houses.C. To keep soil undamaged.D. To raise various cattle.27. What is the main idea of the text?A. How the farmers manage their businesses.B. Why we learn to get on well with the forest.C. What should be done to raise various cattle.D. How the family contribute to climate change.C Spending time in nature improves childrens academic achievement and healthy development, concludes a new analysis examining hundreds of studies. Ming Kuo, a professor in the Department of Natural Resources and Environmental Sciences at the University of Illinois, says she expected the important review to lead to more questions than answers. Instead, all signs pointed to the same outcome: “ It s time to take nature seriously as a resource for learning,” she says. “ In fact, the trend of increasing indoor instruction in hopes of maximizing standardized test performance may be doing more harm than good.” Kuo and her colleagues found that nature boosts learning in many ways一it helps focus attention, relieve stress, increase physical activity and fitness as well as student self-motivation and enjoyment, etc. Besides, nature creates a calmer, quieter and safer setting for learning. While none of these effects is entirely new, the analysis has pulled for the first time all of the lines of evidence together. Collectively, the findings make a much stronger case for the importance of time in nature. They also provide an explanation for something that has been puzzling scientists why even small doses of nature sometimes have surprisingly great effects. These effects extend beyond academic achievement. Time in nature appears to develop personal skills and qualities important for future success, and may play an important role in helping children grow up to be environmental stewards. The analysis will surely make schools think about how to better plan their schoolyards and curricula. “ Even small exposures to nature are beneficial. If youre indoors, having a view of your yard rather than facing the wall, that makes a difference. Thats one of the things that give us more confidence that we re seeing a real cause-and-effect relationship,” Kuo says. “The bigger the dose of nature we give a person, the bigger the effect we see in them.”28. The underlined word “boosts” in paragraph 3 most probably means .A. promotes B. makes. interestingC. simplifies D. makes.worthwhile29. What does the text say about the analysis examining hundreds of studies?A. Its finding is completely new. B. It remains a puzzle to scientists.C. Its outcome isquite convincing. D. It results in more questions than answers.30. What inspiration can schools draw from the analysis?A. They should raise their students environmental awareness.B. They should make all their curricula closely related to nature.C. They should move all their students out of the classrooms.D. They should green their schoolyards as much as possible.31. Which of the following reflects Kuos opinion?A. Indoor instruction should be stressed to improve test performance.B. Nature has long been taken seriously as a learning resource.C. Small exposures to nature make almost no difference.D. When it comes to time in nature, more is better.DOK, so its not a real war but the U.S. and China are at the beginning of a trade war thanks to President Trumps policy. The Chinese government raised $34 billion in new duties on goods exported from the U.S. last week in answer to President Trumps unwise tariffs (关税) of $34 billion on Chinese goods.Farm and seafood-producing states are going to be hit hardest by Chinas new tariffs on U.S. goods. States where cars are made and shipped to China are on the hook, as well.In terms of value, some 38 percent of products on the tariff list are agricultural, including soybeans, sorghum, tobacco and meat. Thats nothing like good news for farm-belt states, primarily in the Midwest like Iowa.A wide range of seafood is on Chinas tariff list. That could hurt fishery workers in Alaska and lobster(龙虾) harvesters in Maine. Alaska, for example, exported nearly $1 billion worth of seafood to China. China is a major market for Alaska seafood, said Alexa Tonkovich, Executive Director of the Alaska seafood Marketing Institute. The seafood industry directly employs nearly 60,000 workers in Alaska each year and directly employs more workers than any other private industry.And automaking states, particularly in the South, are also at risk. Some 24 percent of products on the list in terms of value are cars, trucks and other vehicles. Michigan alone exported $1.7 billion worth of motor vehicles and vehicle parts to China in 2017. Other states being affected include South Carolina, where BMW makes SUVs for both the U.S. and export, and Alabama, home to Mercedes-Benz, Toyota, Honda and Hyundai factories.This round of tariffs spares some industries, like commercial aircraft. Washington State could breathe a sigh of relief, which is home to Boeing. It also, for the moment, skips tariffs on chemical products.ALexa Tonkovich has warned the U.S. government that the trade war could risk jobs, reduce industry profits, and cause higher prices for consumers in the U.S.!32. What does the underlined phrase on the hook mean?A. Caught in a difficult situation. B. Lost in deep thoughtC. Delighted in their luck. D. Stuck in the traffic jams.33. Which state will be hurt the least on this round of tariffs?A. Iowa. B. Maine. C. Michigan. D. Washington.34. What is Alexa Tonkovichs attitude towards the trade war?A. Approving. B. Opposed. C. Objective. D. Sympathetic.35. Which of the following shows the development of ideas in the text?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。 You can take fish oil supplements. You can invest in a language class. There are countless methods to improve your memory and cognitive functioning. 36 . Its called reading. It is amazing how such an ordinary activity can improve your brain in so many ways. The most basic impact occurs in the brain area associated with language reception. Compared with processing spoken language，reading encourages the brain to work harder and better. 37 . A study found that some of those benefits lasted for five days. Reading also energizes the region responsible for motor activity. Thats because the brain is a very lively play actor. When it is reading about a physical activity，the neurons（神经元） that control that activity get busy as well. You may not actually be riding a horse when youre reading Seabiscuit，but your brain acts as if it is. 38 ， the better it is for your overall cognitive performance. What if you are a poor reader who feels as if youll never be able to read enough to harvest these benefits? _ 39 _. Scientists studied children aged eight to ten who were below-average readers. One hundred hours of reading classes significantly improved the quality of their brains white matter - the tissue that carries signals between areas of gray matter，where information is processed. 40. Results from a study indicate that close literary reading gives your brain a better workout than leisurely reading. The ability to read closely needs to be developed. So turn off your phone and your computer，set aside a good hour or two - and just read. A. Reading is good for your health B. A book can fix that problem too C. If you read books on a regular basis D. Not all reading is actually created equal E. And the benefits continue long after reading F. The more parts of your brain that get a workout G. But the most effective way to sharpen your brain is right here 第三部分 英语知识运用 （共两节，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。 Early spring can be a tough time in the Midwest.

And then more ducks came, and the circle of water came 55 with their swimming and diving.
