Walk or drive to work? Which way is lower in carbon(碳)? To be friendly to the environment, you may choose to walk. Have you ever tried to live a low-carbon life through your diet (日常饮食)?
A new study from the University of Oxford has looked into the health and environmental influences of 15 foods common in western diets. Among these, plant based (基于植物的) foods included fruits, vegetables, nuts and potatoes. It also studied animal-based foods, including red meat, chicken, milk products, eggs and fish.
According to the study's lead researcher, Michael Clark, "Choosing better and greener diets is one of the main ways people can improve their health and protect the environment. ”That is to say, plant-based diets are much healthier for us and kinder to the environment.
To get this result, researchers compared the influence of eating another portion (一份) of each food with the increased risk of a few illnesses. They also found out the environmental harm for each animal-based food and each plant-based food.
By using this method, the study found that red meats were the most unfriendly foods to the environment. Keeping farm animals produces a large number of methane (甲烷) that keeps 30 times more heat than CO2. As well as making the earth warmer, eating too much red meat is known to increase the risk of a few illnesses, such as heart trouble.
Plant-based diets can give us the same health benefits in a much greener way. According to the study, without eating or using meat and milk products, global farmland use could be cut down by more than 75% and still feed the world.
Speaking to the Guardian(英国卫报), Tim Benton of Chatham House(英国皇家国际事务研究所) said, "If we can give people reasonable official(官方的)advice of what a healthy and green diet is, the world and its people would be in a much better place. "
51. Which one is animal-based food ?
A. Milk products B. Fruits C. Potatoes D. Vegetables
52. What's the result of this study?
A. Many people choose to walk to work
B. Plant-based diets are healthier and greener
C. The more we eat, the better the environment is
D. 15 foods common in western diets are not healthy
53. What is the main idea of paragraph 5?
A. The harm of CO2
B. The risk of heart trouble
C. A reason for keeping animals
D. Two disadvantages of red meats
54. What does the underlined word "benefits" in paragraph 6 mean in Chinese?
A. 问题 B. 害处 C. 益处 D. 赞扬
55. What will this study probably be used for?
A. Teaching farmers to plant vegetables correctly
B. Offering doctors new methods to treat patients
C. Guiding people to lose weight by doing exercise
D. Giving official advice on health and environment

It is hoped to be completed by 2030 as a part of China's Belt and Road Initiative(一带一路的倡议).
Thanks to high speed rail, the travel time between main cities in China has already been reduced to only a few hours. So his convince should improve the development within(在……内)and out of China. No doubt, it will also bring the people of the county closer together, and in time bring about deep social changes.

A. Over 38, 000. B. Over 30, 000. C. Over 45, 000. D. Over 57, 000.

Hi, I am Lisa. My friend May had a new haircut. It looked so cool. When I got home, I asked my mom for a haircut like May’s.
Sadly, she was busy. “First, you have to make your hair wet. Then, you have to brush it out really well. Finally, you have to use special scissors to cut it,” said mom. “If you make a mistake, you can’t get the hair back on. Maybe I can cut it for you on the weekend.”
I went back to my room and looked at my hair in the mirror. I didn’t want to go to school looking like this tomorrow. So I got my school scissors out of my desk.

“Are you mad because it’s ugly?” I asked.

Elephants are the largest land animals alive today. African elephants live in family groups called herds. All of the elephants in the herd take care of each other. The leader of the herd is an old mother elephant. She is the matriarch. A herd may have as few as eight or as many as 100 elephants. The other elephants follow the matriarch because she knows how to guard the family if danger appears. Adult male elephants go off to live on their own and start families.
Elephants learn by watching and copying other elephants, and from life. Baby elephants stay with their mothers until they are fully grown at about ten years old. Elephants live to be 50 or 60 years old. Elephants are intelligent animals with long memories. Even in a dry spell, a matriarch can remember where water was found in the past. The herd will follow her there. She can also remember the safest place for baby elephants to cross a fast-moving river.
Elephants talk to each other with low rumbling sounds. Some rumbling sounds are so deep that people are unable to hear them. Elephants hear sounds with their ears, the soles of their feet, and even their trunks(象鼻). They also greet each other by touching with their trunks and feet. If danger appears, mothers flap their ears to call their babies to them.
Other animals do not usually attack(袭击) elephants. However, a lion might try to attack a sick elephant or a baby. If this happens, everyone is on guard. The adult elephants circle around the baby elephants. The adults make loud trumpeting sounds and hit the ground with their trunks. The matriarch puts herself between the lion and the herd. She flaps her ears out to make herself look even larger. Then she lowers her head and charges the enemy in a big cloud of dust.
66. According to Paragraphs 1 & 2, the matriarch ________.
A. protects the herd B. just follows the herd
C. drinks water alone D. is the oldest elephant
67. Which of the following probably best explains “spell” underlined in Paragraph 2?
A. Magician. B. Prediction. C. Period. D. Ability.
68. According to Paragraph 3, how do elephants communicate with each other?
A. People can hear all the sounds of elephants.
BElephants can hear each other only with ears.
C. Elephants greet each other by flapping ears.
D. Elephants’ trunks can be used to communicate.
69. Which of the following is TRUE according to the passage?
A. No elephants take care of baby elephants at the time of danger.
B. Baby elephants stay with their mothers as long as they want.
C. A matriarch can find the water because of the long memory.
D. When a lion attacks, adult elephants circle around the matriarch.
70. What’s the best title of the text?
A. A Baby And A Matriarch. B. An Elephant Herd.
C. A Lion And An Elephant. D. An Elephant Matriarch.

How are you feeling today? If your head is uncomfortable because of a bad night’s sleep, or you’ve just got too much to do, the chances are you’re not in the best of feelings. If everything seems like an effort and you have a negative(消极的) opinion, the last thing you want to be told is to “be positive!” But having this mindset could get more advantages than you think.
Of course, developing a positive(积极的) opinion is easier said than done. When you’re feeling down, it is hard to be optimistic(乐观的). But a study in the US has found that people who are optimists are more likely to live longer than those who have a more negative opinion to life. It showed the possibility of positive people living to the age of 85 or more. So, maybe the thought of a longer life might encourage you to be more positive to life.
The study found that optimists may find it easier to control feelings and get less stressed. And as stress influences the immune system(免疫系统), it’s possible that optimists deal better with illness. Professor Lee, who worked on the study, said, “Our findings suggest that raising levels of optimism may lead to longer life and healthier ageing.” And she advises that pessimists (悲观主义者) could get better from doing things like imagining a future where everything turns out well.
But a glass half empty type of person can hardly see the world through hopeful glasses. If you’re the one among them, what could you do? Accepting that we all have problems and we’re not all the same can help. It’s best to celebrate the positives and not think about the negative parts of our lives.
People have been sharing their personal advice on keeping a positive way to life. Vicki Siska says, “Music feeds my soul, and I have good friends who care for me.” The saying goes that “a healthy body leads a healthy mind” which is perhaps why other people have advised doing deep thinking as well as staying healthy to help keep a positive opinion about life.
71. From Paragraphs 1 & 2, we can learn that ________.
A. negative opinions lead to bad endings B. being positive isn’t as easy as we thought
C. “be positive” is enjoyed by pessimists D. optimistic people like to have a long life
72. According to Paragraph 3, the study found that ________.
A. optimists usually get more stressed B. pessimists are impossible to live long
C. optimists are easy to develop illness D. positive imagining is good for pessimists
73. The underlined part “glass half empty” in Paragraph 4 probably means ________.
A. negative B. strong C. helpful D. outgoing
74. According to the passage, which of the following is TRUE?
A. The study found that pessimists could live to be 85 or a higher age.
B. Optimists are seldom ill because they have a good immune system.
C. Pessimists are those unlucky people who always have problems.
D. Positive opinions about life might lead to good physical health.
75. The passage mainly tells us ________.
A. to have a long life B. to treat life positively
C. the importance of health D. what optimists and pessimists are

As a child, what did you want to be when you grew up? If you were like most children, you probably let your imagination run wild. Maybe you dreamed of flying into space or being a famous cook. Then perhaps over the years, your dreams became more realistic(现实的). Or you might have given up some altogether.
It’s important to have dreams because dreams can give us the energy to succeed in life. Dreams inspire(激励) us. They might take a few years or they might take a lifetime to achieve. The important thing is that you’re always working for your dream. And the best way to do that is by setting goals.
What is the difference between a dream and a goal? It’s been said that dreams are the final destination(终点); goals are the stops along the way. Dreams can be very general. But the steps you take should be very specific. Your dreams mean what you want, but goals tell how you’ll get there. That makes goal set a necessary step in reaching your dreams.
Many successful people have spoken about dreams. Former US Secretary of State Colin Powell stressed the importance of working for your dreams. “A dream doesn’t become reality through magic; it takes sweat(汗水), determination(决心) and hard work. ”Writer Les Brown reminded us that dreams have no age limit. “You are never too old to set another goal or to dream a new dream.”
If you’ve been dreaming about doing something for years, start today. Write down your dream, and establish your goals. Then you’ll be on your way to making your dreams come true.
63．The writer probably wrote this passage for ________.
A．students B．teachers C．workers D．doctors
64．To reach your dream, the most important is to ________.
A．dream a dream B．make a promise
C．work for the dream D．raise pressure

B．To show successful people’s ideas about dreams.
C．To show the importance of working for your dreams.
D．To tell people you are never too old to set another goal.

Zhong Fangrong, whose score in the latest national college entrance exam, or Gaokao, was among the best in China, reaffirmed（重申) her decision to major in archaeology（考古学）for her undergraduate studies on Tuesday, ignoring the head-shaking of shock netizens（网民）.
With her high score on the test—676 out of 750—Zhong could have chosen virtual any major at any university in the country. So it surprised people when she signed up for archaeology, one of the least popular majors in China.
In a letter replying to the highly regarded Chinese archaeologist Fan Jinshi, the honorary resident(名誉院长) of the Dunhuang Academy, Zhong expressed her desire to follow her heart, as Fan had done.
Zhong said it was Fan who had influenced her and gave her the confidence to study archaeology at Peking University, and she pledged（发誓）to follow in Fan’s footsteps and devote herself to the field.
Earlier this month Zhong, a student from a small village in Leiyang, Hunan Province, made headlines for her high Gaokao score, which was fourth among the 194, 000 liberal arts students(文科生) in her province.
When her decision to study archaeology was reported in the media, Fan sent Zhong her biography and a letter encouraging her to stay true to her dreams.
Described as a “left-behind girl” by Chinese media, Zhong was raised by her grandparents after her parents left their hometown to work for years in Guangzhou.
Some netizens were surprised by Zhong’s decision and said her choice would make it difficult to find a good job with a high income after graduation.
In China, popular majors such as finance, science and advanced technology are thought to be more promising.
Museums and archaeology research institutes around China rallied behind Zhong, and professional societies in the field from at least 10 provinces sent supportive messages.
68．Why did some netizens disagree with Zhong’s decision?
A．Because they thought she was a left-behind girl.
B．Because archaeology was not a popular major at all.
C．Because Peking University was among the best in China.
D．Because she failed to pass the national college entrance exam.
69．Why were the netizens worried about Zhong?
A．Because they believed she would lose interest in archaeology soon.
B．Because they thought it would be difficult for her to find a good job in the future.
C．Because they were afraid that Zhong’s parents would be strongly against her decision.
D．Because they imagined Zhong’s grandparents would be lonely after she went to university.
70．Which is the correct order of the following events?
① Zhong made a decision to study archaeology at Peking University.
② Zhong’s decision to study archaeology was reported in the media.
③ Fan Jinshi sent Zhong a letter encouraging her to major in archaeology.
④ Zhong Fangrong got a high score in the national college entrance exam.
A．①②③④ B．④②①③ C．④①②③ D．④①③②
71．Which of the following is TRUE according to the passage?
A．Zhong lived with her grandparents for years in Guangzhou.
B．With Fan Jinshi’s help, Zhong went to Peking University at last.
C．Zhong Fangrong got the highest Gaokao score in Hunan Province.
D．Zhong was very interested in archaeology and she wanted to follow her heart.
72．The underlined phrase “rallied behind” in the last paragraph is similar in meaning to ________.
A．provide support for B．make a promise to
C．show an interest in D．keep in touch with
