I miss my sugar! Ive decided to lose weight and I had to give up cakes. Its difficult because I have a sweet tooth and I love cream cakes. Not having treats can be good for your health. Ive heard that the Burts, a family of five in South East England, lived sugar free for a whole year after they found out their daughter had diabetes (糖尿病). It wasnt easy. To avoid temptation, I dont go to any bakeries, but this family actually owns one, which makes up to 3,000 cakes a week. And how does it feel to live without sugar for a while? Jason Burt said that for a month they felt weak. But later on it all changed. He says he feels “more awake” and full of energy. And what about the Burt family business? It had to keep using half a ton of sugar a week and any cook worth his salt knows that you have to taste a recipe to know if its right. No problem there, says Jason Burts wife, Clare. She points out that shes got lots of people offering to taste the cakes for them. The family is also thinking about selling more delicious products. I wonder what makes us have a strong desire for sweet food. Anyway, Ive decided to forget about the sweet taste of sugar for a while. As British model Kate Moss says: “Nothing tastes as good as skinny feels.”16. From the passage, what do we know about the author?A. The author is on a diet. B. The authors daughter had diabetes.C.

They avoided sugar completely.D. They went too far about it.18. From the passage we can learn it is necessary for a cook _.A. to make up to 3,000 cakes a week.B. to get lots of people offering to taste the cakesC. to sell more delicious productsD. to taste a recipe to know if its right19. What does the sentence by Kate Moss mean? A. There is nothing tasting as good as sweets.B. It is worthwhile to resist food to look skinny. C. Nobody can resist the desire for sweets.D. Nothing tastes good when the skin feels terrible.BParents will do anything for their children. Whether it would be the food, clothes, or the place they live in, parents will always make sure their children have the best of everything. One of the biggest concerns that parents currently have is educating their children. They are faced with lots of difficulties when it comes to education for their young ones. Choices include private school, charter school, public school or homeschooling.Fortunately for parents, there are a variety of different strategies that they can take in order to increase their childs overall intelligence. According to Ross A. Thompson, PhD, professor of psychology at the University of California at Davis, a childs brain will actually reach 90% of its full size by the time they start kindergarten.Researchers at Northwestern University in Chicago concluded that playing a musical instrument directly affected the brain stem, the lower section of the brain. Moreover, children that learn an instrument at an early age tend to continue it when they are older. And numerous studies show that a well-balanced meal is essential for a childs mental as well as physical health. Some other researchers recommended that a second language should be taught when children are in preschool. They state that three to four years of age is the perfect time and that any age under four would work perfectly fine for a childs brain development.The average child will learn how to read between kindergarten and second grade. Many parents can give their children a jump start by teaching them to read before they start school. Children could have an adequate background of the alphabet and sounds of words before attending school. This can be done by simply reading to them whenever you want. The more comfortable they get, the easier the process will be.20. From the first paragraph, we can infer that _. A. parents have more choices in offering education to their kids B. parents find it hard to satisfy their kids various demands C. parents get actively involved in the process of their kids growth D. parents meet a new challenge when raising their kids21. What suggestion may the researchers in the passage make? A. To try as many means as possible. B. To train kids as early as possible. C. To help kids develop as fully as possible. D. To use as many available resources as possible.22. What does the third paragraph mainly discuss about? A. The effective ways to help develop childrens brains. B. The proper time to teach children to learn languages. C. The vital factors to have a great effect on childrens health. D. The practical steps to arouse childrens interest in study.23. We can replace the words “jump start” in the last paragraph with _. A. inspirationB. promotion C. suggestion D. introduction COne of the greatest gifts one generation can give to other generations is the wisdom it has gained from experience. This idea has inspired the award-winning photographer Andrew Zuckerman. He interviewed and took photos of fifty over-sixty-five-year-olds all over the world. His project explores various aspects of their lives. The photos and interviews are now available on our website.Click on the introductions to read the complete interviews.Let us now have a culture of peace.

In 1995, historian Frances Wood argued in her book Did Marco Polo Go to China? that the famous explorer from Venice never made it to pass the Black Sea. She noted that his travel journal left out the Great Wall of China, chopsticks and tea drinking among other details. Furthermore, Chinese documents from Polos day made no mention of the explorer and his men. Last year, a team of Italian researchers became the latest to challenge Polos accounts. They said that evidence didnt support his description of Kublai Khans Japanese invasions(侵略). Now, however, research by Hans Ulrich Vogel of Germanys Tubingen University might help prove Marco Polo was true. In a new book Marco Polo Was in China, the professor of Chinese history tires to prove that Marco Polo spoke the truth. He suggests, for example, that Polo didnt include the Great Wall in his book because it only achieved its great importance in the Ming Dynasty several hundred years later. Vogel further explains that Chinese records from the 13th and 14th centuries avoided setting down visits from Westerners. Historians before him have touched on these issues. But Vogel also relies on another evidence: the explorers very detailed descriptions of currency and salt production in the Yuan Dynasty. According to Vogel, Polo documented these aspects of Mongol Chinese culture in greater detail than any other of his time. This is a hint that Polo relied on his own powers of observation. Will we ever know whether Marco Polo traveled to China? Perhaps not, but the consequences of his real or fictional journey are still felt across the globe. One reader of “The travels of Marco Polo” was Christopher Columbus, who stepped upon the New World while following his idols footsteps. 28. France Wood doubted Marco Polos travels to China because his description _. A. covered so much about traders life.B. was full of obvious mistakes.C. missed some important culture of China.D. seemed less detailed.29. Vogels trust on Marco Polo is based on the argument that _. a. The Great Wall didnt gain its importance then b. Records in the Yuan Dynasty mentioned Polo c. Polo mentioned the currency and salt d. Polos other works are believable e. Polo recorded what he saw in great detailA. a, b, dB. b, c C. a, c, dD. a, e30. Which of the following shows the structure of the text? A. B. C. D. 第二节 短文选句（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。Things You Should Stop Doing to Be SuccessfulAre you a happy person?
