When we eat or drink sugary foods, the sugar enters our blood and influences parts of our brain that make us feel good. Then the good feeling goes away, leaving us wanting more. All tasty foods do this, but sugar has a particularly strong effect. In this way, it is in fact addictive, and doctors suggest we all cut down on it."It seems like every time I study an illness, I find my way back to sugar," says scientist Richard Johnson. One-third of adults worldwide have high blood pressure (血壓), and up to 347 million have diabetes (糖尿病). Why? "Sugar, we believe, is one of the reasons, if not the main reason," says Johnson.Our bodies are designed to survive on very little sugar. Early humans often had very little food, so our bodies learned to keep sugar as fat. In this way, we had energy stored for when there was no food. But today, most people have more than enough. So the very thing that once saved us may now be killing us.So what is the solution? Its obvious that we need to eat less sugar. The trouble is, in todays world, its extremely difficult to avoid. From breakfast cereals to after-dinner desserts, our foods are increasingly filled with it. Some manufacturers (制造商) even use sugar to replace taste in foods that are advertised as low in fat. This may make the food appear as healthier, but large amounts of sugar are often added.But there are those who are fighting back against sugar. Many schools are offering more fruit instead of deserts. Other schools are building facilities for students to do exercise. The battle has not yet been lost.（1）Why is sugar addictive? A . It makes us feel good and want more of it.B . It has a strong effect on our blood.C . Tasty foods are full of sugar.D . There is sugar in medicine.（2）According to the passage, why is it so hard to avoid sugar? A . We like candy too much.B . It gives us needed energy.C . It is in so many foods and drinks.D . We get used to eating it at school.（3）What is the passage mainly about? A . Ways to avoid sugar.B . Our addiction to sugar.C . Illnesses caused by sugar.D . Good sugar and bad sugar.23. （8分）閱讀下面短文，從下面每小題的A、B、C、D四個(gè)選項(xiàng)中選出最佳選項(xiàng)。Is human blood all the same? "Sure," you may say. "Its all red." Well, its not as simple as you might know. Blood is made up of different pans, such as red blood cells, white blood cells, and platelets (血小板). Two chemical molecules (分子) on the red blood cells make peoples blood different. Scientists mark one molecule "A" and the other molecule "B".According to which and how many molecules are on the red blood cell, scientists divide blood into four types: A, B, AB and O. Your blood type will stay the same through your whole life. Scientists have been wondering if there are some links between peoples blood type and their personalities (個(gè)性), but they dont know for sure. Some say that people with the same blood type may have things in common.Whats your blood type? Does your friend have the same blood type as you? Read the following.People with type A: They look peaceful from the outside. But they ask so much of themselves that they may be very agitated inside. They become happy or sad easily. Sometimes they are shy but always very careful. They can easily win peoples trust.People with type B: They have strong minds. Once they begin a task and make up their minds to do it, they will not give up easily. Theyll try their best to finish it and do it well. They always try to make themselves different from others. They want to do things in their own way.People with type AB: Maybe they are the strangest among all blood types. They can be both open and shy, noisy and quiet at the same time! They are responsible and always ready to help others.People with type O: Theyre open and good at making friends. They always begin tasks but dont always finish them in the end. They have lots of new ideas and love to be the centre of attention. They always strongly believe in themselves.（1）Scientists divide blood into four types according to _.

If so, you might want to rethink that habit from now on. Doing it a lot can lead to “toasted skin syndrome (癥狀)”, an unusual-looking spotted skin condition caused by long-term heat exposure (暴露), according to medical reports.In one recent case, a 12-year-old boy from California developed a skin discoloration on his left lap after playing computer games a few hours every day for several months. “He recognized that the laptop got hot on the left side; however, he did not change its position,” Swiss researches reported in an article published Monday in the journal Pediatrics.Another similar case is a Virginia law student who needed treatment for the spotted darkening on her leg. Dr. Kimberley Salkey, who treated the young woman, learned the student spent about six hours a day working with her computer placed on her lap. As Dr. Salkey later learnt, the temperature under the laptop could reach 51 degrees. That case, from 2007, is one of 10 laptop-related cases reported in medical journals in the past six years.The condition can also be caused by overuse of heating pads (墊子) and other heat sources that usually arent hot enough to cause burns. Its generally harmless but can also cause such permanent (永久的) skin darkening. In very rare cases, it can cause damage leading to skin cancers, said the Swiss researchers, Drs. Andreas Arnold and Peter Itin from University Hospital Basel. They do not mention any skin cancer cases linked to laptop use, but suggest, to be safe, placing a carrying case under the laptop if you have to hold it on your lap.Dr. Kimberley Salkey said that under the microscope, the affected skin is similar to skin damaged by long-term sun exposure.Major producers including Apple and Dell warn against placing laptops on laps or exposed skin for long periods of time because of the risks for burns. In the past, “toasted skin syndrome” has happened to workers whose jobs require being close to a heat source, including bakers and glass blowers, and in people who gathered near hot stoves to stay warm.Dr. Anthony J. Mancini, chief at Childrens Memorial Hospital in Chicago, said that its unlikely that computer use would lead to cancer since its so easy to avoid close skin contact (接觸) with laptops.（1）According to the passage, “toasted skin syndrome” can be caused by all the followingEXCEPT _.A . being close to a heat source or hot stovesB . long period of direct contact to hot laptopC . using ones laptop with a carrying caseD . overuse of heating pad and other heat sources（2）The underlined word “discoloration” in the 2nd paragraph refers to _.A . spotB . darkeningC . sunburnD . heat（3）It can be learnt from the passage that laptop users _.A . should avoid close skin contact with laptopsB . are likely to develop a certain kind of cancerC . have known much about the harm of laptop heatingD . should go to see the doctor at once（4）Some computer producers warn against placing laptops on laps for long periods of timebecause of _.A . the risk for burnsB . the risk of droppingC . the risk of breakingD . the protection of back bone（5）Which of the following might be the best title of the passage? _.A . Laptop is DangerousB . Skin Damage is PossibleC . A Bad HabitD . No laps for Warm Laptops25. （8分）閱讀下面四篇短文，從每題所給的A、B、C、D四個(gè)選項(xiàng)中選出最佳選項(xiàng)。DAre you creative, shy, outgoing? Our personalities (性格) tell a lot about who we are. But whats surprising is that our personality can also say something about our health. Thats according to researchers at Duke University, US.During an experiment on 1,000 people, scientists assessed (評(píng)定) their personalities into two ways: by asking someone they knew, such as a family member or a friend; then by asking someone they had just met, such as a nurse. The study found that those who were careful at the age of 26 were in better health after 12 years.Being careful means that people are more likely to have a lot of self-control (自控力), and are less likely to smoke. Careful people are also more likely to have an active lifestyle and a healthy diet, the scientists said.From those who were less careful, 45 % developed health problems by the age of 38. Such health problems included gum disease and high blood pressure. To compare, only 18 % of careful people went to develop health problems.Another positive (積極的) personality was called “openness to experience”, meaning curious (好奇的) and imaginative. People who have more of this personality have higher IQ scores. So theyd be more likely to know how to find medical help to prevent disease.According to the report, if doctors assessed our personalities, it could help doctors to find which young adults need advice on how to live a healthy lifestyle.But can a doctor who knows our personality really improve our health? Or should doctors be kept away from knowing something so personal?（1）What kind of people are more likely to develop health problems? A . Careful people.B . Less careful people.C . Those who have self-control.D . Those who are curious and imaginative.（2）By the age of 38, MORE of the less careful people developed health problems than the careful people.A . 18%B . 27%C . 45%D . 63%（3）Which of the following shows the writers opinion? A . Careful people are more likely to have an active lifestyle.B . Scientists assessed peoples personalities into two ways in the experiment.C . The study found that those who were careful develop fewer health problems.D . A doctor who knows our personality may not be able to really improve our health.（4）Whats the best title of the passage?A . Healthy Personality.B . Unhealthy Personality.C . Personalities and Health.D . Different Personalities.四、 詞匯運(yùn)用。 (共1題；共8分)26. （8分）根據(jù)句意和漢語(yǔ)注釋，在答題卡標(biāo)有題號(hào)的橫線上，寫(xiě)出單詞的正確形式。(1)The first step towards forming _(習(xí)慣) is that you can plan everything well.(2)My parents always _(比較) me with my sisters before.
