They are likely to be better for you than any other food. But are all fruits created equal? Lets do a survey of which fruits are the best if youre looking to lose weight.Apples are a common favorite. Theyre the finest snack: filling, juicy and portable. Studies have even shown that eating three apples per day can help with weight loss. There are plenty of ways to eat apples: Eat a whole apple, add apple pieces to your meal, throw apple balls into a salad, bake some with your chicken, or cook up a low-calorie dessert.Watermelon is low in calories with high water content. This means you can eat two entire cups of watermelon for less than 100 calories and your stomach will feel like youve eaten more because the fruit is more than 90 percent water. This way, youll avoid higher-calorie foods and satisfy your sweet tooth.Raspberries(覆盆子) are small but powerful! These babies are low in calories and even lower when you consider that theyre high in indigestible fiber. Raspberries have the highest fiber content of any fruit (1 cup = 8 g fiber).Grapefruit(葡萄柚) gives you a lot of help for your calorie avoidance. A middle-size grapefruit has only around 80 calories, and like watermelon, its more than 90 percent water. Plus, studies have shown that a compound(化合物) in grapefruit called naringin could lower blood sugar and lead to weight loss. So enjoy some grapefruit at every opportunitypress it into your water, throw some into your salad, or use it like lemon to flavor your food. Keep in mind that eating grapefruit with certain medicines could have harmful influences. If youre on any prescription(处方), check with your doctor before adding grapefruit to your diet.24. What might be the best title for the text?A. The secret of fruits B. Top fruits for weight lossC. The forms of a healthy diet D. A survey of healthy fruits25. What is the common character of the fruits mentioned in the text?A. Equal in nutrients. B. Rich in naringin.C. Low in calories. D. High in fiber.26. Which fruit might cause side effects when eaten with some medicines?A. Apple. B. Watermelon. C. Raspberry. D. Grapefruit27. Grapefruit is most suitable for a person who _.A. has sweet tooth B. is weak in digestionC. is high in blood sugar D. is below average heightCJust a few short days ago, our beloved dog of 14 years passed away. In truth, I had no idea how my children would react to our sweet girls passing. Ive learned that each of my kids is handling the gaping hole she left in our family differently. My oldest daughter has been in competition with me for the most tears shed. My middle one is exhibiting more anger than sadness. Our two years old kid doesnt truly understand what happened, but she is witnessing the emotional changes around her and cries too.A new study out of Canisius College that looks at how children understand a pets death is helping me. According to Science Daily, Joshua J. Russell, PhD conducted one-on-one interviews with kids between the ages of 6 and 13. And he learned, among other things, that kids do understand a pets relatively short life span.I found this interesting , as our dog was 14 when she passed away, but my children have still expressed a reluctance to accept it. They keep asking why they cant see her again. But Russell claims, “Children whose pets lived the extent of their potential lifetimes- or beyond-expressed acceptance upon their deaths.” He added that kids felt that putting them down.“There were those who felt it would be wrong to move on to a new pet because they had to honor their relationships with the former one,” Russell explains, adding that a new pet was linked with feeling better for some kids. “They explained it as an opportunity to start over and suggested that replacing a companion animal is more about beginning a new relationship than erasing memories of an old one. ” I couldnt agree more. We will NEVER forget our sweet dog who passed away. But when one thing ends, another can begin.28. Who got angry on hearing the dogs passing?A. The mother B. The eldest childC. The second child D. The youngest child29. How did Joshua J. Russell know kids feeling on pets death?A. By asking their parentsB. By analyzing previous studiesC. By talking with children personallyD. By comparing differences between the interviewees.30. What does the underlined word “reluctance” in Paragraph 3 probably mean?A. Curiosity B. Performance C. Determination D. Unwillingness31. What does the author suggest we do about the loss of our pet?A. Give up raising animals B. Move on to a new one.C. Keep sweet memories forever D. Forget it as soon as possibleDThe Arctic Ocean(北冰洋) is small, shallow ,and-most importantly-covered. Unlike the other large oceans of world, it is closely surrounded by Asia, Europe, and North America, with very few watery entrances in an out.Often, that remoteness (偏僻) has played to its ecological advantage. Very few ships pass through the area, at least compared to nearby waterways like the Bering Sea. It also helps that much of the Arctic freezes over every winter.But a paper released this week in Science Advances argues that its location in now harming it. The first survey of the region has found that roughly 300 billion pieces of floating plastic, most of them tiny but visible to the unaided eye(肉眼), have blocked the planets northernmost sea. The plastic, having been carried to the pole over decades, now has very few ways out.“Our data show that the marine plastic pollution has reached a global scale after only a few decades using plastic materials.” said Andres Cozar Cabanas, a biologist at the University of Cadiz. He said, “It is a clear evidence of the human capacity to change our plant. This plastic accumulation is likely to grow further.”“It is pretty clear that this plastic has been transported by ocean currents.” How the plastic are entering the Arctic is not clear,” Martha Buckley , an oceanographer said. Ocean currents matter because theyll help researchers learn if the plastic is trapped in the Arctic permanently or whether it will eventually work its way out.“We should properly manage the plastic waste at its source（源头）, ” said Andres Cozar Cabanas. “ Once the plastic enters the ocean, its destination and impacts are uncontrollable”32. How is the Arctic Ocean different from the other large oceans?A. It is deeper and colder. B. It has very few watery entrances.C .It is surrounded by fewest continents. D. It is researched more by scientists.33. What can be inferred about the Bering Sea from the text?A. It is covered with floating plastic.B. It is the coldest area in the Arctic.C. The Arctic benefits a lot from it every winter.D. It is a relatively busier channel near the Arctic.34. What is the key to controlling the plastic waste around the Arctic Ocean according to Cabanas?A. Reducing the ships crossing there.B. Studying ocean currents in detail.C. Stopping the use of the plastic.D. Managing the source of plastic waste.35. What can be the best title for the text?A. The future of the Arctic Ocean.B. The plastic is trapped in the Arctic Ocean accidently.C. The Arctic Ocean is blocked with billions of plastic bits.D. How the Arctic Ocean is being polluted by plastic bits.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，选项中又两项为多余选项Friendly people are welcoming.
