Crazy-CreativeTraditionsinSchools
Here are a few schools’ crazy-creative traditions that will probably have you wish to go there so you could celebrate in all the graduation fun.Learn about them all in the below.
Attire(服装)andFlowersatCollegeofCharleston
Fashionistas will love this one.During the December ceremony,women wear black dresses and men wear black tuxedos(成套无尾晚礼服).During the May ceremony,women wear white dresses and men wear summer tuxedos.It’s also been a tradition since the 1930s to carry flowers onto the stage:women carry bouquets of six red roses in a red bow and men wear a single red rose buttonhole(佩戴在扣眼上的花).So classy!
HoopRollingatWellesleyCollege
This all-women’s college tradition was originally held on May Day,but it’s now held in April.The purpose was to allow students to essentially leave all their worries behind and just participate in some fun games outdoors.Back in the day,it was said that the winner of the hoop rolling race was the first to be married,and in the 1980s she would be the first to be a CEO.Nowadays,the winner would be the first to achieve her own happiness...that is,after being thrown into Lake Waban by all her classmates.
FabricandGreenGradRecyclingProgrammeattheUniversityofNewHampshire
You’ll absolutely love this tradition.UNH’s vendor provides wrinkle-resistant caps and gowns made of recycled plastic bottles.Graduates then have the opportunity to donate their gowns to be cleaned and reused.Graduates are still able to keep their caps and tassels as keepsakes,all while helping to save the environment.

Both low-fat and low-carb(低碳) diets work equally well to help people lose weight over two years,a new research has shown.In addition,the low-carb diets may also improve levels of good cholesterol(胆固醇),although it’s not clear how much difference this would make to your overall health.
The search for a diet that helps people lose weight goes back to tens of years.In recent years,there’s been much discussion about the strong points of low-fat diets,compared with low-carb diets.The research shows the low-carb diets work well for short-term weight loss,but there isn’t enough evidence to show how well the two types of diets work in the long-term,and what the effects are on people’s health,for example their cholesterol levels.
In addition,it’s been recognised that weight loss programmes are better if they include some support to help people make changes to their eating and exercise habits.This is often called behavioural therapy,because it works through changing people’s behaviour.Group support also seems to help.
A new study has compared people who followed a weight-loss programme over two years,all of whom had behavioural therapy.Half the people followed a low-carb diet,and half followed a low-fat diet.
People on both diets did equally well in losing weight.After two years,they had lost on average 7 kilograms.This amount of weight loss is enough to have positive effects on the health of fat people.
If you need to lose weight,this study shows that low-carb and low-fat diets are likely to work equally well.You may find it easier to lose weight as part of a supervised weight-loss programme that can help you break bad habits and make healthy changes to your diets and lifestyle.
24.According to the research,the low-carb diets can 　　　. 
A.help people remember better
B.improve levels of good cholesterol
C.improve your overall health greatly
D.have a great effect on your health
答案:B
解析:细节理解题。根据第一段中的“Inaddition,thelow-carbdietsmayalsoimprovelevelsofgoodcholesterol...”可知,低碳饮食还可能提高好胆固醇水平。故选B项。
25.If you want to lose weight you’d better 　　　. 
A.have a low-carb diet
B.have a low-fat diet
C.have behavioural therapy
D.change your exercise habits
答案:C
解析:细节理解题。根据第三段中的“...weightlossprogrammesarebetteriftheyincludesomesupporttohelppeoplemakechangestotheireatingandexercisehabits.”可知,人们认为有助于改变人们的饮食和运动习惯的减肥项目更佳,这种减肥方法常被称作行为疗法。故选C项。
26.How do people trying to lose weight feel at the research result?
A.Angry. B.Pleased.
C.Disappointed. D.Puzzled.
答案:B
解析:推理判断题。根据倒数第二段中的“Thisamountofweightlossisenoughtohavepositiveeffectsonthehealthoffatpeople.”可知,所减少的体重对肥胖者的健康而言是有积极影响的,由此推断出,他们对此结果是感到高兴的。故选B项。
27.What does the underlined word “it” refer to?
A.Behavioural therapy. B.Group support.
C.People’s behaviour. D.Eating habits.
答案:A
解析:词义猜测题。根据该词前面的内容可知,it指的是behaviouraltherapy,表示“这种行为疗法是通过改变人们的行为而奏效的”。故选A项。
C
As globalisation continues to make the world a smaller place,and goods become more accessible across borders,concerns about food safety in the Asia-Pacific region have steadily risen over the years.An APEC forum is being held in Beijing,to find ways to better address the problem.
156 participants from 19 APEC economies and 4 non-APEC members attended the APEC Food Safety Cooperation Forum which has been actively looking for ways to strengthen food safety standard in the region,without affecting trade.
“As consumers are faced with more varieties of food,the potential food safety risk also becomes bigger.This forum has helped APEC economies to cooperate in supervision(监督),exchange information,and improve the overall food safety standard in the Asia-Pacific region,” said director of China’s General Administration of Quality Supervision Wu Qinghai.
For the first time the forum has brought together high-level regulators,academics,and industry stakeholders to talk about their respective roles in safety supervision.They say governments alone cannot shoulder this heavy duty.
In China,the continuous food safety problems have greatly hurt consumers’ confidence in domestic products; therefore, more consumers turned to imports.However,problems related to quality of those imported goods also began to show.More than 400 batches(批) of food imports from 35 countries and regions were found substandard by the country’s top quality supervisor.
Governments and industries have been brought closer by this forum.As food moves more freely beyond borders,this forum is hoped to promote safety control cooperation,so APEC members can better benefit from the economic integration(经济一体化).
28.What kind of function can the forum play?
A.It has greatly influenced the economy in the area.
B.It can put every side’s efforts together.
C.It helps to bring government regulators and industries together.
D.It has found ways to deal with safety problems.
答案:C
解析:细节理解题。根据第四段中的“...broughttogetherhigh-levelregulators,academics,andindustry...insafetysupervision.”以及最后一段中的“Governmentsandindustrieshavebeenbroughtcloserbythisforum.”可知,该论坛将政府监管人员和行业相关者聚集在一起。故选C项。
29.The last but one paragraph tells us that 　　　. 
A.the Chinese customers are more satisfied with their food safety
B.food imported from other countries are indeed high in quality
C.many Chinese customers would rather buy some foreign food
D.there are only 35 countries and regions exporting food to China
答案:C
解析:推理判断题。根据倒数第二段中的“InChina,thecontinuousfoodsafetyproblemshavegreatlyhurtconsumers’confidenceindomesticproducts;therefore,moreconsumersturnedtoimports.”可知,在中国,持续的食品安全问题极大地打击了消费者对国产产品的信心;因此,更多的人转向进口。这表明许多中国顾客宁愿买一些外国食品。故选C项。
30.The underlined word “address” in the first paragraph can be replaced by “　　　”. 
A.send a letter about B.deal with
C.deliver a speech on D.call off
答案:B
解析:猜测词义题。上文提到随着全球化继续使世界变得更小,商品更容易跨境运输,人们对亚太地区食品安全的担忧多年来稳步上升。本句介绍APEC论坛正在北京举行,句中不定式tofindways表示的是论坛的目的,address与theproblem搭配,可推断是指解决上述问题,address与dealwith同义。故选B项。
31.According to the article,which of the following statements is WRONG?
A.People can buy foreign food more easily than ever.
B.The more varieties of food,the bigger the potential food safety risk.
C.Food safety problems have appeared many times before this forum.
D.Governments have started their cooperation with academies and industries before this forum.
答案:D
解析:细节理解题。根据第四段中的“Forthefirsttimetheforumhasbroughttogetherhigh-levelregulators,academics,andindustrystakeholderstotalkabouttheirrespectiverolesinsafetysupervision.”可知,该论坛首次将高层监管人员、学者和行业利益相关者聚集在一起,讨论他们在安全监管中的各自角色。因为这是第一次,所以D项“在此论坛之前,各国政府已开始与院校和工业进行合作。”表达错误。故选D项。
D
Scientists have found that eating dark chocolate appears to lower the risk of depression by four fold.While 7.6 percent of the 13,000 people surveyed reported depressive symptoms,just 1.5 percent of the chocolate eaters did.The study also found that the people who consumed the most of any chocolate were also 57 percent less likely to report depressive symptoms.
The study is the first to examine the association with depression according to the type of chocolate consumed.The team assessed data from 13,626 adults from the US National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey.
A range of other factors including height,weight,marital status,education,household income,physical activity,smoking and chronic(慢性的) health problems were also taken into account to ensure the study only measured chocolate’s effect on depressive symptoms.
After adjusting for these factors,it was found that individuals who reported eating any dark chocolate in two 24-hour periods had 70 percent lower odds of reporting clinically relevant depressive symptoms in the previous two weeks than those who reported not eating chocolate at all.
Chocolate contains a number of psychoactive ingredients which produce a feeling of euphoria(极度兴奋的情绪) similar to that of cannabinoid(大麻素),found in cannabis.It also contains phenylethylamine(苯基乙胺),which is believed to be important for regulating people’s moods.
However British scientists urged caution about the findings,suggesting that the decision to eat dark chocolate could be linked to other health factors.For example people who choose dark chocolate may be more health conscious in general,which is known to protect against depression.
Depressed people are also more likely to crave more sugary fatty foods and so could be less likely to pick a dark alternative when choosing chocolate.
32.What is the aim of the study?
A.To find a cure to depression.
B.To find out the cause of depression.
C.To research on the ingredients of chocolate.
D.To study association between depression and chocolate.
答案:D
解析:细节理解题。根据第二段中的“Thestudyisthefirsttoexaminetheassociationwithdepressionaccordingtothetypeofchocolateconsumed.”可知,研究的目的是调查抑郁和食用巧克力的种类之间的关系。故选D项。
33.What is phenylethylamine?
A.Something that can make people excited.
B.Something that can adjust people’s moods.
C.Something that can make people depressed.
D.Something that can make people overweight.
答案:B
解析:细节理解题。根据倒数第三段中的“...whichisbelievedtobeimportantforregulatingpeople’smoods.”可知,苯基乙胺是调节人们情绪的东西。故选B项。
34.What is British scientists’ attitude towards the findings?
A.Supportive. B.Negative.
C.Doubtful. D.Cautious.
答案:D
解析:推理判断题。根据倒数第二段中的“HoweverBritishscientistsurgedcautionaboutthefindings,suggestingthatthedecisiontoeatdarkchocolatecouldbelinkedtootherhealthfactors.”可知,英国科学家对研究的发现持谨慎的态度。故选D项。
35.What are depressed people more likely to do?
A.Eat sugary fatty foods. B.Have dark chocolates.
C.Exercise outdoors. D.Concern about health.
答案:A
解析:细节理解题。根据最后一段“Depressedpeoplearealsomorelikelytocravemoresugaryfattyfoodsandsocouldbelesslikelytopickadarkalternativewhenchoosingchocolate.”可知,抑郁的人也更有可能想吃更多的高糖高脂食物,因此在选择巧克力时,他们不太可能选择黑巧克力。故选A项。

参考范文
Dear Jim, 
It’s great to hear from you.I’m strongly supportive of “Waste No Food Movement” for the following two reasons.
To begin with,food shortage is a problem concerning the whole world,so we should take every small action to save food.Besides,the movement appeals to people to classify and recycle kitchen waste,which is obviously wonderful to protect the environment.
In my life,I’ve witnessed many practical acts.For example,while eating outside,we tend to pack leftovers.Nowadays,more and more Chinese are practising garbage classification.We put the leftover aside to make it possible and easier to reuse.
What do you think of the movement?Looking forward to your brilliant idea.
Yours,
Li Hua

阅读下面材料,根据其内容和所给段落开头语续写两段,使之构成一篇完整的短文。续写词数应为150左右。
Lorena parted the curtain in her living room and looked out onto the wet street.She was relieved,as the sunlight appeared.If it didn’t stop raining,it would ruin her day.Her mother had promised to drive her to Fashion Fair if it were sunny.Lorena was desperate to go there because she had to buy a jacket.
Earlier that Wednesday afternoon,Eddie,the most popular seventh-grader,had given Lorena his jacket and asked her to keep an eye on it as he would play basketball in a hurry.Lorena was quite happy to be of help.
During her last class,the biology teacher made them dissect(解剖) dead frogs.For fear of getting blood on Eddie’s jacket,Lorena folded it and placed it on a chair.Then she took the knife and cut the skin quickly.She felt sick opening the frog’s belly.
When the bell rang,Lorena hurried out because the bus she caught for home left ten minutes after school.She raced to board the bus and found a seat.After a few minutes the driver started the engine and drove away when Lorena looked out of the window and saw Eddie.“The jacket!”she screamed.She shot from her seat and ran up to the driver.“You’ve got to stop!I forgot Eddie’s jacket!”“Who’s Eddie?I don’t know Eddie,” the driver said crossly.“Sit down.”
All that evening she was upset and blamed her biology teacher for her problem.If she hadn’t made them dissect frogs,she wouldn’t have been so absent-minded.The next day Lorena rushed from the bus to the biology room.The jacket was not there!
“How can I ever tell Eddie?”she closed her eyes.She spent most of her break and lunch period in the rest room,brushing her hair and worrying.On Friday she stayed at home to avoid Eddie.She told her mother she wanted to go shopping to buy her a gift for her birthday,which was at the next week.Actually,she wanted to buy a jacket with her savings at Fashion Fair.

MumdroveLorenatotheFashionFairandleft,askinghernottowastemoney.Lorena promised and ran in.Stopping at a rack of jackets,she wondered what size Eddie wore.She tried one on and found the sleeves coming down over her hands.She felt it must be the size.She walked to the cash register and paid the money.She was overjoyed to have settled the problem.Then she headed for the perfume department to buy a gift for Mum.It was unfortunate that she didn’t have enough money!
LorenawasabouttoleavewhenshesawEddieinhisjacket.With a tight face,Eddie scolded Lorena why she had left his jacket in the biology room.“I thought we could be friends,”he complained.“I can explain,”Lorena begged.“You’re of no help at all!”Eddie rushed off.“What the hell’s going on?”Lorena wondered.Realising some people could never be friends,she wiped her eyes,returned the jacket,bought Mum some cheese instead of the romantic perfume and went home.
