第三部分阅读理解(共15小题;每小题2分,满分30分)
请认真阅读下列短文,从短文后各题所给的A、B、C、D四个选项中,选出最佳选项,并在答题卡上将该项涂黑。
A
Supermarket packaging often contains common English words that are oddly confusing. Here’s what you need to know to safeguard your health.
Imitation
A food that simulates another food but isn’t made of the same stuff is an imitation, right? Not quite. It should be labeled imitation only if it has a lower amount of protein or some other essential nutrient than the food it’s copying.
Free
Packages bearing the words fat-, sugar-, or sodium-free may still contain trace amounts of those substances. The FDA evaluates these terms according to a typical portion size known as an RACC (reference amounts customarily consumed per eating occasion). An RACC of eggnog, for example, is a half cup, and for croutons, it’s 7 g. To
be labeled free of calories, a food should have fewer than 5 calories per RACC; to qualify as fat- or sugar free, less than 0.5 g per RACC; and to be labeled sodium-free, fewer than 5 mg per RACC.
Reduced/Less
Don’t be fooled: Just because a product claims to have reduced fat or to contain less sugar doesn’t mean it’s low in the stuff you should avoid in excess(过量). Such terms just mean the amount is lower than usual; the food might not meet the standard for low at all. These phrases indicate a relational claim compared with a reference food. The reduced substance (for example, total fat, sugar, etc.) should be at least 25 percent less per RACC than the amount in an appropriate reference food.
56. According to the passage, the food should be labeled __________.
A. imitation when it has as much essential nutrient as the copied food
B. sugar free if the sugar is fewer than 5 mg per RACC
C. reduced fat if it is indeed low in the stuff you should avoid in excess
D. reduced sugar if it is 30 % less per RACC than the amount in the reference food
57. The passage is intended to __________.
A. explain some words on packaging
B. remind us of tricky words on food labels
C. suggest ways to protect your health consciously
D. point out mistaken labels requiring to be improved
B
The idea that some kids pick up information better when it's presented visually, and others physically or by listening, is a myth(错误观念) that could rob children of opportunities to learn and a waste of parents' money, according to scientists.
Researchers at the University of Michigan looked at the pervasiveness of myths about so-called learning styles. They questioned what is known as psychological essentialism(本质主义): The idea that the category something fits into is determined by a biological "truth" with a genetic basis. For instance, girls liking pink, pit bulls being violent, or visual learners only remembering information when it is presented to them in a specific way.
They thought despite the theory existing for decades, there is no evidence to suggest tailoring a person's learning experience to their self-reported learning style helps them to remember information.
The researchers recruited a total of 668 U.S. adults for the study, asking them about their beliefs about learning styles. Respondents were asked to rate their agreement or disagreement with statements like "People are born with a tendency to have a certain learning style." In both surveys, over 90 percent of participants said they believed in learning styles. And around half of the people tested said they believed that we are born with learning styles; that they can easily be identified; inherited from our parents; and help to predict what a child will do in life.
Shaylene Nancekivell, a visiting scholar at the University of Michigan and study co-author, told Newsweek: "We should be using best practices in our classrooms and at home to teach our children. The popularity of the learning style myth and commercial products means that it is very easy to spend money and time on programs or strategies that may not be helping children learn. My biggest concern is that time is being spent teaching young children maladaptive strategies for learning. It is important that children from a very young age are taught with the best practices so they will succeed."
Asked how the study was limited, Nancekivell explained: "We need to reexamine and better understand our findings with educators. It will be important to dive deeper into educators' beliefs and reexamine our finding that educators who work with younger children are more likely to view learning styles in an essentialist light. We also need to better understand how the differing beliefs we have discovered translate into practice."
Dr. Paul A. Kirschner also commented: "The study identifies origins of the belief, and thus is possibly theoretically or philosophically significant, it stops there. The real problem is that THEY rob children of opportunities to learn by branding or classifying them as belonging to a specific group that cannot do certain things. It's also a good excuse for parents to blame teachers and schools for their children's poor study habits and for schools and teachers to blame makers of learning materials."
58. What effects will learning style myth probably cause?
①Robbing children of learning opportunities.
②Wasting children’s time and money.
③Acquiring maladaptive learning strategies.
④Being taught with the best practices.
⑤Believing they are born with a certain learning style.
A. ①②⑤ B. ①③⑤ C. ②③④ D. ①④⑤
59. What does the word “THEY” in last paragraph refer to?
A. Different beliefs. B. Both surveys.
C. Learning styles. D. Origins of the belief.
60. What does the passage mainly talk about?
A. Children aren’t born with learning styles.
B. Self-reported learning style helps children succeed.
C. What is psychological essentialism and its effect?
D. Experts have different attitudes toward learning styles.
C
Sweet potato plants don't have spines or poisons to defend themselves. But some have evolved a clever way to let hungry herbivores (食草动物)know they aren't an all — you — can — eat buffet, a new study finds. When one leaf injured, it produces a chemical that warms the rest of the plant—and its neighbors-to make themselves inedible (不宜食用的)to bugs. Sweet potato breeders could potentially engineer plants to produce the chemical as an all-natural pest defense.
Plant ecologists led by Axel Mithofer of the Max Planck Institute for Chemical Ecology in Jena, Germany, started to look into sweet potato (Ipomoea batatas) defenses after they noticed something interesting about two varieties of the plant grown in Taiwan: The yellow-skinned, yellow-fleshed Tainong 57 is generally herbivore-resistant, but its darker orange cousin, Tainong 66, is plagued (造 成麻烦)by insect pests.
To find out why, the team offered up Tainong 57 and 66 plants to hungry African cotton leafworm caterpillars (毛虫).Both plants released at least 40 airborne compounds as the caterpillars snacked on their leaves. But Tainong 57 produced a lot more of a chemical called DMNT, which has a very distinct smell, the team details this month in Scientific Reports. (“The smell is not nice," Mithofer says. “You wouldn't want it as a perfume.")
DMNT isn't a new compound; researchers have isolated (分离出)the smelly chemical from
other plants such as com and cabbage, and it is known to induce defense responses in some species.
To determine whether this was happening in sweet potatoes, scientists- set -up two experiments. First, they put two plants next to each other and wounded one so it produced DMNT. Then, they exposed healthy Tainong 57 plants to DMNT they had synthesized (合成).In both cases, the DMNT caused the exposed plants to produce more of a protein called sporamin in their leaves. (Tainong 66 did not have the same reaction. ) When the caterpillar’s snack on sporamin, “they immediately stop eating because they don't feel well," Mithofer says.
Sporamin is the main protein in - sweet potato -tubers (块茎),and is indigestible raw, which is why sweet potatoes must be cooked for humans to enjoy them. “If the caterpillars could cook it, they could eat it," Mithofer says. Theoretically, he says, sweet potato breeders could use genetic engineering to make different varieties of sweet potato produce as much DMNT as Tainong 57, and display the same defense responses.
Still, the research isn't ready for prime time, cautions plant ecologist Martin Heil. DMNT might work in the lab, but in the field, airborne chemicals can be “blown away in seconds,” says Heil, who studies plant-insect interactions at the National Polytechnic Institute in Irapuato, Mexico.
Mithofer himself has no plans now to create genetically engineered sweet potato plants, because they would not be a viable (能活下去的) crop in Europe, where genetically modified crops are outlawed. So for now, Tainong 66 will have to put up with being a caterpillar salad bar.
61.What is the purpose of the experiment carried out by Axel's team?
A. To find out why DMNT has a very distinct smell.
B. To determine which sweet potato suits caterpillars better.
C. To find out why Tainong 57 resists bugs while Tainong 66 doesn't.
D. To determine what compounds are released when bugs eat sweet potatoes.
62.Which is an example of the underlined words “defense response” in Paragraph 4?
A. Researcher isolated the smelly chemical from plants.
B. Corn produces a chemical to avoid being eaten by bugs.
C. Two plants are put next to each other for an experiment.
D. Caterpillars have stomach trouble when they snack on sporamin.
63.The tone of the this passage can be described as .
A. humorous B. serious C. causal D. subjective
64.What's the author's attitude towards GM Tainong 66?
A. Supportive. B. Objective. C. Opposed. D. Skeptical.
D
The three phases of life are increasingly a thing of the past. Where once working lives fitted neatly into the model of education, employment and then retirement, the simplicity of that division is being challenged by changing standards of the workforce.
Increasing numbers of workers, nearing their long-imagined transition into retirement, seem to be actively postponing the moment at which they down tools. Newly released figures from the Office for National Statistics (ONS) have shown that there are over a million more over 50s in part-time work than a decade ago. And with nine out of 10 employers reporting difficulties hiring workers, there’s likely to be a growing market for their talents as bosses extend their searches to older people, including those who are willing to take on part-time responsibilities.
The ending of the three phases of working life isn’t simply down to people living longer or financial necessity - though those are certainly important factors - but also to an increasing desire to maintain a purposeful life. One survey of British retirees over 50 found that 85 per cent of them felt they’d retired too young – stopping working had left a void that they subsequently regretted.
The 2015 film The Intern conveyed this human need to have value. In it, Robert De Niro plays a 70-year-old widower who finds himself a fish out of water when he joins a trendy internet start-up. In the end, not only does he find the sense of belonging that he craves but his colleagues come to rely on his experience and different perspective. It’s a plot we can increasingly expect to play out in real-life offices over the decades to come as people live ever longer.
Already, we are seeing people in their 50s and 60s looking ahead to a retirement lasting 30 years, choosing instead to build second careers that they can maintain into their 70s or beyond. Freed from the financial burden of young children, they can prioritise flexibility, shorter working hours or more rewarding jobs in areas such as charity work or teaching. Many do it for no money at all, volunteering behind the till in charity shops or showing people round National Trust properties.
However, it’s the next generation where the effect of living longer will really be felt, and the financial necessity will start to bite. In the West, more than half of the children born in 2016 have a life expectancy of more than 100 years. In their book, The 100-Year Life, London Business School professors Lynda Gratton and Andrew Scott suggest that acquiring sufficient funds to see oneself
through a 40- or 50-year retirement will likely be beyond all but the highest earners.
Then there’s the often repeated claim that young people today are the first generation to be poorer than their parents. Certainly property prices are changing the way they plan for the future. In the mid-Nineties, the average home cost less than three times the average wage; last year, ONS stats placed that ratio at eight times wages.
The overall effect of these trends is that young people recognize that they will likely have to postpone dreams of retirement and instead strap on(绑住) more debt spread over longer spans. It’s why 44 per cent of under 30s say they expect to be working well into their 70s and why data this year from the Bank of England show that 16 per cent of UK mortgages(按揭贷款) now have terms of 35 years or more – a figure that has tripled in the past decade.
All of these factors look set to contribute to a workforce that has a significantly wider range of ages in the future. In an era of work when we’ve all learned to be more inclusive, only eight per cent of firms with a diversity programme have adapted it to go beyond gender, race and sexuality and into age. Incorporating older employees into the workforce is set to be the next big thing at the office.
If Robert De Niro has anything to teach us, it’s that this can be an enormous force for good for both employees and businesses.
65. What do the underlined words “down tools” in Paragraph 2 mean?
A. stop working B. undertake part-time jobs
C. learn a new skill D. imagine the future life
66. The following may account for the ending of the three phases of working life EXCEPT _________.
A. a longer life B. financial needs
C. a meaningful life D. delayed retirement policy
67. The author introduces the details of the film The Intern in order to __________.
A. tell us Robert De Niro is a helpful retiree
B. indicate that retirees can also benefit society
C. illustrate that retirees desire to live meaningfully
D. share Robert De Niro’s second career with us
68. What trend will the next generation face?
A. Their life expectancy will be longer.
B. They will be richer than their parents.
C. They can live within their means.
D. They will fail to pay off their mortgage.
69. The main reason for young people postponing retirement is ___________.
A. longing for a more purposeful life
B. inability to make their ends meet
C. a shorter term of mortgages
D. eagerness for experience from old employees
70. What does the passage mainly talk about?
A. Different attitudes to retirement between the young and old.
B. Financial issues facing both old people and young people.
C. Age being no bar in the modern world of work.
D. The new standards of the workplace.

请认真阅读下列短文,并根据所读内容在文章后表格中的空格里填入一个最恰当的单词。
注意:请将答案写在答题卡上相应题号的横线上。每个空格只填1个单词。
For many students, preparing for an exam involves last-minute efforts of intense cramming(死记硬背), but getting ready for an exam is not all about studying.
There are other important things a student can do to ensure his success on an exam, such as maintaining a positive state-of-mind and good physical health. Just as an athlete prepares for a game or a race with a regimen of mental and physical exercises, a student has to do everything he can to be ready for an exam. Here are a few things you absolutely have to do when preparing for an exam.
A few days before the exam, you want to complete all of the main reading assignments for your course and make notes for yourself. That means reading lecture notes, revising past assignments, and books that are relevant to the upcoming examination. By doing this, you will be able to understand the major concepts in the course that you have to understand to pass your exam. Moreover, revising course notes helps you to understand what has been taught, which places you in a better position to answer any question you might come across. Should you come across a concept that you do not
understand, approach your instructor or fellow students, and ask them for assistance. Ask them to help you understand the concepts so that if they come up in the exam, you will not struggle to answer them.
Knowing the key concepts of this course, the next step is to develop a realistic study timetable. Coming up with a schedule you can stick to is one of the best exam preparation approaches you can use. With a realistic schedule, you know how much time you will spend reading up on a course or a concept. A timetable arranged around eight hours of continuous studying, for instance, is not realistic. Very few students are capable of concentrating for long durations, and even fewer are capable of internalizing information gathered during long study sessions, especially if they use digital technology in their studies.
While the majority of study advice guides focus on how to prepare mentally for an exam, getting the rest of your body into the mood is equally important. Physical and mental readiness will give you the extra energy you need to take a long test. One great way to prepare your body for an exam is by listening to music. You can listen to your favorite songs while showering or when commuting to the exam location. Scientific studies show that music improves recall and memory encoding by binding information with auditory input.
One of the tips before an exam students often ignore is wearing the appropriate clothes. While choosing what to wear on exam day, think about the weather. You’re most likely going to be seated for a couple of hours during the exam. During this time, you shouldn’t have to put up with uncomfortable temperatures occasioned by the clothes you wear. The right clothing safeguards against distractions, allowing you to concentrate fully on the job at hand.
Title: Essential Things to Do During Exam 71
Introduction
In addition to good physical health, students must prepare for an exam
72 just as athletes do for a game.
Revising your reading assignments
l Before the exam, go over concepts 73 to the examination.
l 74 your instructors or classmates when you have doubts about some concepts.
Setting realistic objectives
Developing a realistic schedule has become more necessary especially in the 75 times as technology could possibly 76 us from concentrating long and internalizing information.
Taking some time to
77 up your body
l Physical and metal readiness can ensure you extra energy for a long test.
l Listening to music is 78 to memory improvement by combining information with auditory input.
Dressing comfortably
Proper clothes can 79 you of uncomfortable temperatures and help you with your 80 on the exam.
