Mst f us have memries frm childhd that g smething like this: Yu’re nt leaving the table until yu eat all yur vegetables. Hw lucky we were t have nutritius fd, even if we had t learn t like it.
Accrding t the Hustn Health Dement, fr nearly ne quarter f children living in Hustn, Texas, the chice t eat healthily desn’t exist.

A lack f fresh meat and prduce in yur diet can lead t increases in depressin and besity (肥胖) and greater risks f heart disease and cancer.

First, they partnered with the Hustn Health Department t distribute fd at cmmunity centers. With the help f a fd rescue rganizatin Secnd Servings, they cllected surplus (过剩的) fd frm grcery stres and began rganizing mnthly markets. They even cnnected with human service agencies t prvide help beynd fd. Lastly, since fresh fd needs t be picked up right away, they develped a text-messaging app Fresh Hub, which tells peple when and where the markets are.
Each mnth, Fresh Hub rganizes high schl students wh wear green shirts and g t set up stands f fresh prduce, baked gds and packaged meats. The Zhu sisters and the green dream team have distributed ver 1,500 punds f fd. And while families are cllecting fd, vlunteers are entertaining kids with art prjects that teach healthy eating.
At the end f the day, Annie says they are happy t be making a difference. “Frustratin ver the unfair circumstances built int sciety led us t meet incredible peple,” says Annie. “I knw I'm nt alne n this jurney t help the underserved-and I knw my jurney has nly just begun!”

Have yu ever seen the Mn rising ver yur twn r city? It can appear very large when it is lw n the hrizn. Our mn ges thrugh phases(月相) and it lks a little different every day. When the whle mn is lit up, it is called a full mn. When the Mn is entirely dark, it’s a new mn. When there is nly a thin edge f the circle shining, it’s a crescent mn.
When a crescent mn is rising, we can ccasinally see a unique event. When the Sun, the Earth, and the Mn are lined up just right, sme f the sunlight that hits the Earth can be reflected nt the Mn. This causes mst part f the Mn t give ff a faint glw(光), while the rest f the Mn is brightly lit by the sunlight.
This phenmenn is named the Da Vinci glw. It was Lenard da Vinci, a great artist, inventr and scientist, wh explained it fr the first time. Smetimes, it is als called “earthshine.”
When Da Vinci wrte abut earthshine, he suggested that it might be caused by sunlight reflected frm the Earth’s ceans. He was almst cmpletely crrect, except fr ne detail: mst f the reflected sunlight cmes frm the cluds in ur atmsphere. The reflected light frm the Earth is bright enugh t light up the side f the Mn that isn’t receiving direct sunlight.
The Da Vinci glw is nt easy t see. Cnditins need t be just right. Due t the angles f light, the Mn has t be very lw n the hrizn. The best time t see it will be in the days befre and after the new mn. During these days, the lit-up edge f the crescent mn is at its thinnest stage. If yu bserve the Mn befre sunrise r after sunset, it may be pssible t witness the reflected light frm the Earth. Fr the best experience, chse a lcatin utdrs where there is nt t much artificial light. Yu can use a telescpe, but it’s nt necessary since the Mn will lk just as impressive when viewed with the bare eye.
28. Which f the fllwing is the Da Vinci glw?
A. B.
C. D.
29. What is the main cause f the Da Vinci glw?
A. Sunlight received by the Mn’s surface.B. Sunlight reflected frm the Earth’s cluds.
C. Sunlight reflected frm the Earth’s ceans.D. Sunlight received by the Mn’s lit-up edge.
30. Why is the Da Vinci glw an unusual phenmenn?
A It requires specific light cnditins.B. It lasts t shrt t be bserved.
C. It ccurs at the crescent mn stage.D. It needs bright light frm the Sun.
31. Which f the fllwing matters mst t an ideal bservatin f the phenmenn?
A. A suitable place.B. Gd eyesight.
C. A special instrument.D. Bright mnlight.
D
Fr decades, scientists thught f the brain as the mst valuable and cnsequently mst clsely guarded part f the bdy. Lcked safely behind the bld-brain barrier, it was bradly free f the harm f viruses and the battles started by the immune system (免疫系统). Then, abut 20 years ag, sme researchers began t wnder: is the brain really s separated frm the bdy? The answer, accrding t a grwing bdy f evidence, is n.
The list f brain cnditins that have been assciated with changes elsewhere in the bdy is lng and grwing. Changes in the makeup f the micrrganisms in the digestive system have been linked t disrders such as Parkinsn’s disease. There is als a thery that infectin during pregnancy culd lead t brain diseases in babies.
The effect is tw-way. There is a lengthening list f symptms nt typically viewed as disrders f the nervus system, but the brain plays a large part in them. Fr example, the develpment f a fever is influenced by a ppulatin f nerve cells that cntrl bdy temperature and appetite. Evidence is munting that cancers use nerves t grw and spread.
The intercnnectin between the brain and bdy has prmising implicatins fr ur ability t bth understand and treat illnesses. If sme brain disrders start utside the brain, then perhaps treatments fr them culd als reach in frm utside. Treatments that take effect thrugh the digestive system, the heart r ther rgans, wuld be much easier and less risky than thse that must crss the bld-brain barrier.
It als wrks in the ppsite directin. Study shws mice have healthier hearts after receiving stimulatin t a brain area invlved in psitive emtin and mtivatin. Activatin f the brain reward centre — called the ventral tegmental area (VTA) — seems t cause immune changes that cntribute t it. Wrking ut hw this happens culd help t destry cancers, enhance respnses t vaccines and even re-evaluate physical diseases that, fr centuries, have nt been cnsidered as being psychlgically driven.
32. What d the researchers fcus n abut the brain?
A. Its prtecting system.B. Its expsure t diseases.
C. Its cntrlling functin.D. Its cnnectin t the bdy.
33. Hw des the authr supprt his idea in paragraph 2?
A. By explaining a thery.B. By prviding examples.
C. By making cmparisns.D. By presenting cause and effect.
34. Which best describes treatments that d nt crss the bld-brain barrier?
A. Cheaper.B. Mre specific.
C. Safer.D. Mre direct.
35. What des the study suggest in the last paragraph?
A. Brain health depends n immune changes.
B. Brain stimulatin leads t negative emtins.
C. The brain can help enhance psychlgical health.
D. The brain may be key t treating physical diseases.

With the digital revlutin, peple’s lives are being transfrmed. The mbile phne is a symbl f this develpment. Nearly everyne uses mbile phnes, as they allw us t cmplete mdern tasks cnveniently and effectively. 36

Wuldn’t it be a gd idea, nce in a while, t turn ff the phne and step ut int the cuntry t enjy the scenery and in the meantime get sme exercise with the peple we lve?

I was the best speller in my third-grade class. Everyne knew it. I culd spell lts f difficult wrds effrtlessly. Perfect scres came t me after each weekly spelling test.
Our teacher Mrs. Brwn’s rule fr spelling tests was that if yu didn’t get at least 60 percent crrect, yu had t cpy each wrd fr next week’s spelling test fifty times. Ryan, the kid wh sat next t me, was nt very clever. He did badly in every subject, including spelling.
One day when Mrs. Brwn passed back ur spelling test’s papers, I tk a quick lk at Ryan’s paper and saw his big red mark-56 percent. He quickly flded (折叠) the paper and pushed it int his desk. Befre the next spelling test, I was s cnfident abut my spelling abilities that I thught that I didn’t need t prepare fr it.
The day finally came. As Mrs. Brwn slwly muthed each wrd and then repeated it, the silence was brken nly by crazy pencil scratches (沙沙声). Then Mrs. Brwn said, “Handkerchief.”
As I rapidly put pencil t paper, I stpped. My mind was racing as I wrte dwn h-a-n-d-k-e-r-c-h. What was the remaining part? Did the wrd end up with “i-e-f”, “e-i-f” r just “i-f”? My mind was blank. I wrte “e i-f” dwn, but I was wndering whether I shuld erase (擦除) them and change them t ther letters. Then it hit me that Ryan knew hw t spell it. He wrte the wrd fifty times-there was n way he wuld frget it.
Ryan had put his pencil dwn. It was a wide-pen rad between my eyes and the wrd that I knew he had crrectly written n his paper. I was very nervus as Mrs. Brwn was abut t muth the next wrd.
注意：
1.续写词数应为150左右；
2.请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。
I turned my eyes t Ryan’s paper withut anyne nticing me.
