Its polite to bring flowers, chocolates or a bottle of wine as a gift.Usually the evening starts with drinks and snacks（小吃）. If you want to be more polite, say how much you like the room, or the pictures on the wall. But remember-its not polite to ask how much things cost.In many families, the husband sits at one side of the table and the wife sits at the other end. They eat with their guests. Youll probably start the meal with soup or something small, then youll have meat or fish with vegetables, and then dessert（甜点心）, followed by coffee.

To deal with this problem, it is reported that a big part of the governments health budge（预算）has been used for health education and disease prevention instead of treatment. Actually, many kinds of diseases are preventable in many ways and preventing a disease is usually much cheaper than treating it. For example, people could avoid catching a cold if they dressed warmly when the weather starts getting cold. But many people get sick because they fail to do so, and have to spend money seeing a doctor.Daily habits like eating more healthy food would have kept millions of families from becoming bankrupt（破产）if the patients had taken ways for early prevention. For example, keeping a balanced diet（均衡饮食）, such as not consuming too much animal fat and trying to have enough vegetables and fruits, seems to be quite important.One very effective and costless way of prevention is regular（定期的）exercise, which is necessary for a healthy mind and body. Regular exercise, such as running, walking, and playing sports is a good way to make people feel better.In addition, health education plays a key role in improving peoples health. By giving people more information about health, countries could help people understand the importance of disease prevention and ways to achieve it. For example, knowing ones family medical history is an effective way to help keep healthy. Information about health problems among close relatives will make them aware of what they should do to prevent certain diseases through lifestyle changes, which will work before it is too late.However, paying more attention to disease prevention does not mean medical treatment is unimportant. After all, prevention and treatment are just two different means toward the same effect. In conclusion, we could save money on health care and treat patients more successfully if our country spends more money on health prevention and education.（1）Whats the meaning of the underlined word “consuming” in Paragraph 2?A . Avoiding.B . Producing.C . Eating.D . Cooking.（2）Whats the best title of the passage?A . Health or Illness?B . Exercise or Illness?C . Prevention or Education?D . Prevention or Treatment?（3）We can learn from the passage that _.A . more health education should be givenB . dressing warmly can prevent diseasesC . a balanced diet is cheaper than regular exerciseD . the governments health budget should be increased17. （8分）阅读短文，从每题所给的A、B、C和D四个选项中，选出最佳选项。 How Much Can We Afford to Forget?In 2018, Science magazine asked some young scientists what schools should teach students. Most said students should spend less time memorizing facts and have more space for creative activities. As the Internet grows more powerful, students can access (获得) knowledge easily. Why should they be required to carry so much of it around in their heads?Civilizations (文明) develop through forgetting life skills that were once necessary. In the Agricultural (农业的) Age, a farmer could afford to forget hunting skills. When societies industrialized, the knowledge of farming could be safe to forget. Nowadays, smart machines give us access to most human knowledge. It seems that we no longer need to remember most things. Does it matter?Researchers have recognized several problems that may happen. For one, human beings have biases (偏见), and smart machines are likely to increase our biases. Many people believe smart machines are necessarily correct and objective, but machines are trained through a repeated testing and scoring process. In the process, human beings still decide on the correct answers.Another problem relates to the ease of accessing information. When there were no computers, efforts were required to get knowledge from other people, or go to the library. We know what knowledge lies in other brains or books, and what lies in our heads. But today, the Internet gives us the information we need quickly. This can lead to the mistaken beliefthe knowledge we found was part of what we knew all along.In a new civilization rich in machine intelligence, we have easy access to smart memory networks where information is stored. But dependency on a network suggests possibilities of being harmed easily. The collapse of any of the networks of relations our well-being (健康) depends upon, such as food and energy, would produce terrible results. Without food we get hungry; without energy we feel cold. And it is through widespread loss of memory that civilizations are at risk of falling into a dark age.We forget old ways to free up time and space for new skills. As long as the older forms of knowledge are stored somewhere in our networks, and can be found when we need them, perhaps theyre not really forgotten. Still, as time goes on, we gradually but unquestionably become strangers to future people.（1）Why are smart machines likely to increase our biases? A . Because they go off course in testing and scoring.B . Because we control the training process on them.C . Because we offer them too much information.D . Because they overuse the provided answers.（2）The ease of accessing information from the Internet _. A . frees us from making efforts to learn new skillsB . prevents civilizations from being lost at a high speedC . misleads us into thinking we already knew the knowledgeD . separates the facts we have from those in the smart machines（3）The word collapse in Paragraph 5 probably means _. A . a sudden failureB . the basic ruleC . a disappointing startD . the gradual development（4）What is the writers main purpose in writing this passage? A . To question about the standards of information storage.B . To discuss our problems of communication with machines.C . To stress the importance of improving our memorizing ability.D . To remind us of the risk of depending on machines to remember.四、 任务型阅读（共10分，每小题2分） (共1题；共10分)18. （10分）任务型阅读。Have you ever planned a trip to Europe? What should you consider before you travel?
