It is good for you!” You’ve probably heard that many times, and it is true. Milk contains calcium, which is a necessary nutrient for keeping bones and teeth healthy and strong. The US government even requires milk as part of the National School Lunch Program, saying that students should drink one cup of fat-free or low-fat milk at each meal.‎ Last Thursday, however, a group of doctors asked the government to remove the lunch program. The Physicians Committee for Responsible Medicine says, “Milk is high in sugar, high in fat and high in animal protein,” all of which have negative effects on health. The PCRM says there were better and healthier ways to get calcium such as eating beans, broccoli, cereals and tofu. Orange juice and soymilk that have calcium added to them also supply the nutrient. “One of the only reasons people ‎ talk about dairy, or promote it at all, is because it is going to help build strong bones,” says Dr. Neal Barnard, president of the PCRM. But milk may not be the best way to get calcium your body needs.‎ Of course, calcium is important for healthy bones and teeth, but there are other things that affect your bone strength, such as genes, how much vitamin D you take in and getting an hour’s worth of exercise every day.‎ Some nutritionists disagree with the idea that milk isn’t important. Keri Gans, a dietitian, says, “I think it is irresponsible to take this beverage that children enjoy, especially among those who are unable to meet their nutrient needs for the day, and remove it from lunch time.” ‎ The US government is studying the request of the PCRM, but a decision may be a long way off. Meanwhile, Marion Nestle, a professor at New York University, put it best: “Milk demonstrably has nutrients. Other foods have the same nutrients. It’s just a food. Like other foods, too much might be a problem.” ‎ ‎(　　)16. Why does the US government ask students to drink one cup of milk at lunch time?‎ A. They have been told many times.‎ B. They have taken the PCRM’s advice.‎ C. Fat-free or low-fat milk is less expensive.‎ D. Milk helps build students’ strong bones.‎ ‎(　　)17. Which of the following opinions does the PCRM support?‎ A. Milk is harmful to students’ health.‎ B. Students should drink more milk each day.‎ C. Orange juice is higher in calcium than milk.‎ D. Milk is the best way to get calcium.‎ ‎(　　)18. The underlined word “beverage” in Paragraph 4 most probably means “　　　　”. ‎ A. gene B. idea C. milk 　　　D. lunch ‎(　　)19. What can we learn from Marion Nestle’s words?‎ A. Milk has more nutrients than other foods.‎ B. Milk is just a kind of common food.‎ C. Other foods also contain much calcium.‎ D. Too many nutrients lie in other foods.‎ ‎(　　)20. What does the above text mainly talk about?‎ A. The best way to get the most calcium.‎ B. The connection between milk and health.‎ C. Different opinions about the importance of milk.‎ D. Whether to take milk off the school-lunch menu.‎ B The “Give It Up for Earth Day” encourages people to commit to giving up actions that are harmful to the environment, such as using poisonous cleaners.‎ Throughout the month of April, Canadians are being asked to “Give It Up for Earth Day!” Earth Day has been celebrated every year on April 22 since 1970. Earth Day Canada president Jed Goldberg says that as people become more environmentally aware, they want to find ways to reduce their environmental influence, not just celebrate one special event.‎ ‎“Earth Day is a great launching pad for thinking about environmental action every day,” said Goldberg. “Choosing healthier options, even for the short term, can lead to thinking about the influence of our decisions for a lifetime.”  ‎ That’s the reason behind the “Give It Up for Earth Day” campaign. It’s designed to encourage healthy habits that benefit people and the planet. It challenges everyone to help create a healthier world by making changes in their daily routine.‎ ‎“We wanted to plan an action-targeted campaign that will give people a chance to act on their concern for the environment in a positive way,” said Goldberg.‎ The campaign has identified four daily actions that can add up to huge environmental savings. They include pledging(保证) to turn off the TV, give up the use of poisonous cleaners, reduce consumption of consumer products and cut out meat.‎ At the end of April, all of the pledges will be recorded and converted(转化) into the number of TV hours not watched, dollars not spent on unnecessary items, electricity saved, greenhouse gas emissions(排放) avoided by cutting out meat, and poisonous chemicals produced from homes and landfills.‎ ‎“What we’re trying to achieve this year for Earth Day is to give people a chance to do something that is meaningful and measurable,” said Goldberg.‎ ‎(　　)21. The aim of the campaign mentioned in the passage is to　　　　.  ‎ A. enable people to save more money for future use B. help people develop environmentally friendly habits C. prevent people from making changes in their daily routine D. warn people against reducing consumption of consumer products ‎(　　)22. The underlined words “launching pad” (in Paragraph 3) probably mean “　　　　”.  ‎ A. starting point 　　　B. finishing line C. exchanging stage D. reforming age ‎(　　)23. We can conclude from the passage that 　　　　.  ‎ A. Earth Day was first celebrated over half a century ago B. short-term decisions will by no means influence our lives C. Earth Day Canada is actually an everyday environmental action D. daily actions must be measured to benefit the environment ‎(　　)24. Which disagrees with the spirit of “Give It Up for Earth Day”?‎ A. Switching off TV. 　　　　B. Riding bikes.‎ C. Using poisonous cleaners. 　D. Saving electricity.‎ 三、 任务型阅读 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:每个空格只填1个单词。‎ In a memory-based competition between you and a chimp(猩猩), who do you think would win? If you put yourself on top, you might want to guess again.‎ In a test that challenged participants to remember numbers, a young chimp performed better than Japanese college students.‎ Here’s how the test worked. At Kyoto University in Japan, human students and chimpanzee participants sat in front of a computer. Five numbers, ranging from 1 to 9, were combined with one another and then, they appeared at random places on the screen.‎ The numbers stayed on the screen for less than a second. In the first test, for example, participants saw the numbers for 650 milliseconds (about two-thirds of a second).‎ Then, each number disappeared and they saw a white square instead. Participants had to touch the squares in numerical order, based on the numbers that had been there a moment ago.‎ In this test, the students touched the boxes in the correct order about 80 per cent of the time. A young chimp named Ayumu performed equally well.‎ During a harder test, participants were only able to see the numbers for 210 milliseconds.‎ This time, students only succeeded in putting the boxes in the correct order about 40 per cent of the time. But Ayumu still could select the boxes in the right order nearly 80 per cent of the time.‎ Some people have what’s called a “photographic memory”, which allows them to remember a surprising number of details after just a quick look at something. Ayumu’s memory might work in a similar way, says lead researcher Tetsuro Matsuzawa.‎ The chimp’s young age might have something to do with his impressive performance, too. In previous tests, the Japanese researchers found that young chimps performed better than their mothers.‎ The scientists are interested to see whether Ayumu loses his strong memory as he grows older. They already know that young children sometimes have sharp memories when offered something photographical, but they lose this ability over time.‎ Topic A Memory-based Competition Between Human Beings and Chimps ‎(25)　　　 ‎ To judge whose memory is better.‎ The (26) 　　　　 of the first test ‎ ‎• A chimp and some Japanese students participated in the (27)　　　　 and sat before a computer. ‎ ‎• Different combinations of five numbers appeared on the screen.‎ ‎• Each of the number was (28)　　　　 by a white square. ‎ The results of the second test ‎• Students (29)　　　　　 to put the boxes in the right order about 40% of the time. ‎ ‎• Ayumu got the right order (30)　　　　 the time of the students. ‎ Conclusion ‎• Some people have “photographic memory”, (31)　　　　 them to remember numbers after they (32)　　　　 at something quickly. ‎ ‎• The chimps might have the similar (33)　　　　 like human beings. ‎ ‎• Young children, just like chimps, have strong memory but they’ll lose it when they (34)　　　　 older. ‎ ‎45分钟综合性过关小练习(四)‎ 一、 单项填空 ‎1.
