Nine out of 10 American adults have unhealthymetabolisms(新陈代谢)mostly because of the food they eat. Experts say it might be time for the govennent to regulate what Americans put in their mouths.

Dariush Mozaffarian, a heart doctor at Tufts University in Massachusetts worries people who are in poor metabolic health are at increased risk of getting heart disease and other serious health problems. “When you have nine out of10 adults being metabolically unhealthy, largely due to diet-related illnesses, you know we have a broken system,”Mozaffarian said

A big part of the problem is that Americans eat a lot of junk foods. Junk foods are processed foods like sweets or potato chips that provide little nutritional(营养的)value but are high in fat, salt and sugar. Junk foods are hard to resist because they contain things the body wants and needs.Linda Bartoshuk, a professor of food science at the University of Florida believes the problem is that the body has a hard time knowing when to stop wanting them.“We take in too much salt, sugar and fat, which produces all kinds ofillnesses,” Bartoshuk said.

高三英语试题第4页(共12页)

Mozaffarian is among health experts who are calling for more policies to help Americans eat healthier foods. He would like to see the govennent improve nutrition in existing foor programs, like the Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program (SNAP) and Meals on Wheels SNAP provides economic aid to poor families to buy food, and Meals on Wheels delivers meals to older Americans

Mozaffarian also thinks food nutrition should be included in the health care system.There could be more nutritional education for health care workers, and students in medical school While Mozaffarian believes nutritional education would beeffective,changing Americansdiet is more important. “We need to fix the food so that parents and kids who are busy and out wanting to enjoy their lives can get nutritious,affordable food,"he said.

24.What does Mozaffarian think is the main reason for more serious health problems?

A. The govenment system.     B. The quantity of food.

C. The poor metabolisms.    D. The unhealthy diet.

25. Why are junk foods favored by Americans?

Mosquito bites are unavoidable in summer -or is that so?Scientists recently found that mosquitoes are more attracted to some colors than others, which could possibly prove useful to those trying to avoid the annoying bites.

The study found that after a common type ofmosquitoes smelled CO2the gas humans breathe out -they decided to land on some colored dots(色点)but ignored others.

“Imagine you’re on a sidewalk and you smell toasty,”the lead researcher said in a press release announcing the study’s findings. “That’s probably a sign that there’s a bakery nearby and you might start looking around for it.Here, we started to learn what visual elements that mosquitoes are looking for after smelling their own version of a bakery."

高三英语试题第5页(共12页)

The research team put different colored dots at the bottom of a box and sprayed (喷酒) them with CO:.They found that mosquitoes were drawn most to red,orange and black. They also found that mosquitoes ignored green, blue and white. When a rescarcher reached his hand into the box wearing a green glove(手套),mosquitoes ignored it,even when it was sprayed with CO.

Unfortunately, avoiding mosquitoes isn't as easy as choosing the right color of clothes Human skin delivers a vivid red-orange “signal”to mosquitoes, the researchers said, making it hard to hide completely

“We previously discovered there are three major hints that attract mosquitoes:your breath your sweat and the temperature of your skin,”the lead researcher said. "Now we have found a fourth hint: the color red, which can not only be found on your clothes,but is also found in everyone’s skin. The shade of your skin doesn’t matter. We are all giving off a strong red feature."

While the research found that the mosquitoes appeared to prefer certain colors, it did not measure whether wearing colors like green or blue would help keep away from the mosquitoes The researchers hope that their findings can help find other methods to drive back the biting insects.

28. Why did the researchers spray the dots with COz?

A.It drives mosquitoes away.

B. It is attractive to mosquitoes.

C. It prevents mosquitoes finding targets.

D. It's a practical material to catch mosquitoes.

29. Which of the following colors causes the least attention from mosquitoes?

A.Red.     B. Black     C . Orange.     D.Blue

30.What does paragraph 6 focus on?

A.The features of human skin.

B. Factors that attract mosquitoes.

C.What elements mosquitoes ignore.

D. How to choose the color of clothes.

31.What may be the hopeful result of the study?

A. Mosquitoes will disappear someday

B. Most pcople will wear colorful clothes.

C. The survival rate of mosquitoes will be affected.

D. More ways will be found to keep mosquitoes off.

D

A method to transform a commonly thrown-away plastic to a resin(树脂)used in 3D- printing could allow for making better use ofplastic waste.

Ateam of Washington State University researchers developed a simple and efficient way to transform polylactic acid(PLA), a bio-based plastic used in products such as plastic tableware

高三英语试题第6页(共12页)

and food packing to a high-quality resin.Yu-Chung Chang, a postdoctoral researcher on the work said they made stronger materials just straight out of waste, and they hoped that would provide people with the stimulation to upcycle this stuff instead of just throwing it away

PLA is rarely recycled because like most plastics, when it’s melted down and reformed, it doesn’t perforn as well as the original version and becomes less valuable

“But once you look into it, it turns out that it can take up to 100 years for it to break down in a landfill,"Chang said.“In reality, it still creates a lot of pollution.We want to make sure that when we start producing PLA millions of tons, we will know how to deal with it.”

In theur study, the researchers developed a fast method to recycle PLAbreaking the long chain of molecules(分子)down into simple monomers(单体)-the building blocks for many plastics. The entire chemical process can be done at mild temperatures in about two days. The chemical they used to break down PLA,aminoethanol,is also inexpensive

"“Tf you want to rebuild a Lego castle into a car, you have to take it apart brick by brick, Chang said. “That’s what we did.Once PLA was broken down to its basic building blocks, the researchers rebuilt the plastic and created a type of liquid resin that is commonly used as printing“ink”for 3D printers.When used in a 3D printer and cured into plastic pieces the product was equal or better than commercially available resins.

The researchers have applied for a temporary patent and are working to further improve the process. They are also looking into other applications for the upcyeling method.

32.What's the main purpose of the researchers work?

A.To expand the use of 3D printing

B. To make better use of plastic waste.

C.To call on people not to throw away plastic.

D. To show off their high-technology methods.

33.What does the underlined phrase“this stuffin paragraph 2 refer to?

A. The high-quality resin.        B.Polylactic acid.

C. The upcycling method.        D. Plastic food packing

34.Why does the author mention “a Lego castle”in the last but one paragraph?

A. To illustrate the process of remodeling

B.To explain how to deal with Lego bricks

C.To show the difficulties of their research.

D. To offer a model for the better improvement

35.What might be the best title of the text?

A.The Inexpensive Chemical Used to Break Down the PLA

B.Newly-developed 3D Printer for More Plastic Applications

C.New Way Found to Turn Plastic Waste Into Valuable Products

D. The Upcoming Age of New Plastic Without Pollution to the Environment

Iabsolutely love my little brother and sister,Texand Indibut sometimes I feel extremely annoyed when they don’t respect my stuff.

One afternoon, Ioverheard Indi and her friend Kate talking about a necklace.“Ooh! Where did you get that cool necklace?" Kate asked Indi"

I just found it," replied Indi.

“I love the flower in the middle of the heart!”said Kate admiringly

“Yeah,” said Indi. “It’s my new favorite thing in the world!”

It was my necklace! Unable to bottle up my annoyance,I went straight over to them

“Excuse me, Indi,” I said. “Where did you find that necklace?”

“Right there on the floor,” Indi answered, pointing to a spot just outside my bedroom

Indi shrugged.

“Well, your favorite new thing happens to be my favorite old thing, and I'd like it back Please, please, please just leave my stuff alone once and for all!”I told her

Imust have sounded pretty angry because I found Indi’s eyes filled with tears. She unwillingly took off the necklace and threw it into my hand

“Here you go,”she sniffled(抽鼻子)and went off to the backyard with Kate

And that was that.I decided to try to change my sour mood by taking out the handicraft(工艺)box from the cupboard in the living room.I found craft sticks and seashells for a picture frame (相框),put on some music, and got down to working

As I carefully glued on the shells.I remembered how Indi and I had found them together at the beach. How close and happy we were at that time! That’s when I decided to make the frame for Indi to apologize for overreacting. It was a task requiring time and patience. So by the time was finished.I felt definitely satisfied and even pictured Indi’s smiling face when I gave her the frame. As I felt starving, I went to the kitchen to grab a snack, leaving the glue to dry
