There was homework to do, sports to play and fun to have. But our parents probably persuaded us to find a job to earn some money and get some life experience. When I was a teenager I had a paper round. I then progressed to a Saturday job in a supermarket.Today in the UK children are allowed to take part-time jobs from the age of 13. Its one of those things that is seen almost as a rite of passage（成人仪式）. Its a taste of independence. Teenagers agree that it teaches valuable lessons about working with adults and also about managing your money.Some research has shown that not taking on a Saturday or holiday jab could be harmful to a person later on. According to a 2017 study in the UK, employers organizations believed that not participating in part-time work at school age caused young adults to be ill-prepared for full-time employment. But despite this, recent numbers have shown that the number of schoolchildren in the UK with a part-time job has fallen by a fifth in the past five years.So, does this mean that British teenagers are now more afraid of hard work? Probably not. Some experts think that young people feel going out to work will affect their performance at school, and they are under more pressure now to study hard and get good exam resultsand a good job in the long term. However, Geoff Barton, general secretary of the Association of School and College Leaders, told BBC News that “Properly controlled part-time work is a good way of helping young people learn skills that they will need in their working lives.” In reality, its all about getting the right balance between doing part-time work and having enough time to study and rest.Many young people actually want to work because it gives them a sense of freedom. One 13-year-old girl, who has a Saturday job in a shop, told the BBC that “I enjoy my job because Im earning money and it helps my confidence speaking to people and socializing with people.” Did you do a part-time job when you were at school?25.Employers believe if young adults dont participate in part-time work at school age, _.A. they wont be well-prepared for the job B. they cant manage their money wiselyC. they cant work on their ownD. they wont know how to work with others26.According to some experts, _ has caused fewer schoolchildren to do a par-time job in the past years.A. more time to rest B. more pressure from schoolC. being afraid of hard work D. having enough money 27.According to the passage, taking on a part-time job can help young people _.A. learn skills and be confident to talk to peopleB. understand their parents and grow up more quicklyC. have a chance to see the world and meet more friends D. get better grades and perform well in schoolCPeople who often eat nuts appear to live longer, according to the latest study of its kind. The findings, published in the New England Journal of Medicine, suggested the greatest benefit was in those eating them on their daily diet.Eating nuts was linked to a healthier lifestyle including being less likely to smoke or be overweight and more likely to exercise. The British Heart Foundation said more research was needed to prove the link, “While this is an interesting link, we need further research to make sure if its the nuts that protect heart health, or other sides of peoples lifestyle .”The study followed nearly 120,000 people for 30 years. The more regularly people ate nuts, the less likely they were to die during the study. People eating nuts once a week were 11% less likely to have died during the study than those who never ate nuts. Lead researcher Dr. Charles Fuchs, from the Dana-Farber Cancer Institute and Brigham and Womens Hospital, said, “The most obvious benefit was a decrease of 29% in deaths from heart disease, but we also saw a significant reduction of 11% in the danger of dying from cancer.”They suggest nuts are lowering cholesterol(胆固醇). and insulin resistance(胰岛素抗性). Nuts contain unsaturated fat(不饱和脂肪), protein(蛋白质) and several kinds of vitamins and minerals and they can take the place of snacks like chocolate bars, cakes and biscuits.Victoria Taylor, senior expert at the British Heart Foundation, said, “This study shows close connection between regularly eating a small handful of nuts and a lower risk of death from heart disease.” Choosing plain, unsalted foods rather than sweet, salted, or chocolate-covered will keep your salt and sugar intake down.28.According to the passage, what kind of people benefit most from eating nuts?A. Those who eat most nuts at a time. B. Those who eat most nuts.C. Those who eat less nuts. D. Those who eat nuts on their daily diet.29.Which kind of disease had a most decrease for regular nuts eater?A. Cancer. B. Stomach disease.C. Heart disease. D. Unknown.30.The writer developed the article mainly by .A. listing data B. giving examplesC. providing facts D. comparing the difference31.Which section should the passage be taken from the newspaper?A. Science section. B. Tech section.C. Entertainment section. D. Health section.DThe European Parliament has approved a law banning a wide-range of single-use plastic items, such as straws and cotton buds by 2021. “Europe is setting new standards, paving the way(铺路) for the rest of the world,” the European Commissions vice-president Frans Timmermans, who is responsible for sustainable development, said in a statement.The new plans come after the EC found that plastics make up more than 80% of marine litter, which has disastrous effects on wildlife and habitats. The EU parliament notes that because of its slow rate of breaking down, plastic residue(残余) has been found in marine species as well as fish and shellfish - and therefore also makes its way into the human food chain.Under the new European law, tobacco companies will be required to cover the costs for the collection of cigarette butts. Manufacturers of fishing tools will also have to pay for the retrieval(找回) of any plastic nets that have been left at sea. Theres also a new focus on further raising public awareness, where producers of items such as tobacco filters(滤嘴), plastic cups, and wet wipes will be required to clearly explain to users how to appropriately dispose of them.The European Commission first suggested the ban in May, which was approved by member states in October. China last year banned the import of 24 varieties of solid waste, including types of plastic and unsorted paper, putting pressure on Europe to deal with its own waste.The World Economic Forum estimates that there are about 150 million tons of plastic in the worlds seas. A study published in Science in 2015 suggested that between 5 and 13 million tons more are flowing into them every year. Research shows there will be more plastic than fish by weight in the worlds oceans by 2050, which has encouraged policymakers, individuals and companies into action.32. What is the best title for the passage?A. Plastic drives fish out of seas.B. EU bans single-use plastic items.C. EU paves the way for the world.D. Plastic threatens marine life and human.33. Under what circumstances has EU passed the new law?A. Plastic pollution has reached a disastrous degree.B. EU bears the responsibility for sustainable development.C. Plastic residue has been found in human bodies.D. Manufactures are prepared to collect used products.34. Under the new EU law, what result will be unavoidable for plastic producers?A. Production will be reduced.B. Factories will be moved out of EU.C. The staff will be larger.D. Products will be more expensive.35. What message is implied in Paragraph 4?A. China once urged EU to control plastic pollution.B. EU once exported plastic waste to China.C. EU and China has signed relevant agreements.D. Chinas ban on solid waste inspired EU.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，并在答题卡上将该项涂黑。选项中有两项为多余选项。Taking good notes is a time-saving skill that will help you to become a better student in several ways. 36_ Second, your notes are excellent materials to refer to when you are studying for a test.
