Our body has not been able to deal with (处理,对付)these changes in life style and this has led to new kinds of sicknesses. These new sicknesses were not known in ancient times, so they are called “ diseases of civilization”. Many cancers and diseases of the blood system, including heart attacks and strokes (中风) are examples of such diseases.‎ Scientists noted that people in both the Old Stone Age and the New Stone Age enjoyed very little alcohol (酒精) or tobacco (烟草), probably none. Ancient people also got a great deal of physical exercise, but a change in food is one of the main differences between life in ancient times and that of today.‎ Stone-age people hunted wild animals for their meat, which had much less fat than domestic or tame ones (家畜). They also ate a lot of fresh wild vegetables and fruits. They didn’t have milk or any other dairy products, and they made very little use of grains. But today, we eat a large amount of these. We eat six times more salt than our remote ancestors (祖先). We eat more sugar. We eat twice as much fat but only one third as much protein (蛋白质) and much less vitamin C.‎ People today probably do not want to live the way people thousands of years ago did, but ‎ scientists say that we would be much healthier if we ate much the same way as remote ancestors did, cutting the amount of fatty, salty and sweet food.‎ ‎24. According to the passage, people in industrialized nations would be much healthier if they ate___________.‎ A. more food than humans living 10,000 years ago did.‎ B. as much food as humans living 10,000 years ago did C. more kinds of food eaten by people living over 10,000 years ago.‎ D. more of the same kind of food eaten by people over 10,000 years ago.‎ ‎25. New kinds of sicknesses have been found because __________.‎ A. the human body has changed compared with humans who first appeared on the earth.‎ B. the way we live has changed a little.‎ C. our body can’t deal with the changes in life style.‎ D. the way we live today is proper for the human body.‎ ‎26. What is the main cause that people suffer from a lot of new sicknesses?‎ A. Ancient people did a great deal of physical exercise.‎ B. People today have a lot of alcohol.‎ C. People today have more tobacco.‎ D. Food today is quite different from that of ancient times.‎ ‎27. According to some scientists , Stone-age people were much healthier than people today because they ate a lot of _____________.‎ A. milk and other dairy products. B. wild animals, fresh wild vegetables and fruits.‎ C. salt and sugar D. grain foods C The New York Times——Stephen Hawking, the brightest star in the firmament(天空)of science, whose insights shaped modern cosmology(宇宙论)and inspired global audiences in the millions, has died aged 76. His family released a statement in the early hours of Wednesday morning confirming his death at his home in Cambridge. Hawking’s children, Lucy, Robert and Tim said in a statement: “We are deeply saddened that our beloved father passed away today.” “He was a great scientist and an extraordinary man whose work and legacy will live on for many years to come. His courage and persistence with his brilliance and humor inspired people across ‎ the world.”‎ When Hawking was diagnosed with motor neuronal (神经元的)disease in 1963 at the age of 21, doctors expected him to live for only two more years. But Hawking had a form of the disease that progressed more slowly than usual. He survived for more than half a century and long enough for his disability to define him. His popularity would surely have been diminished without it. Those who live in the shadow of death are often those who live most.‎ For Hawking, the early diagnosis of his terminal disease, and witnessing the death from leukaemia of a boy who he knew in hospital, ignited(点燃)a fresh sense of pursue. “Although there was a cloud hanging over my future, I found, to my surprise, that I was enjoying life in the present more than before. I began to make progress with my research,” he once said. Embarking (着手) on his career in earnest, he declared: “My goal is simple. It is a complete understanding of the universe, why it is as it is and why it exists at all.”‎ ‎28. The following statements about Hawking is true EXCEPT________.‎ A. Hawking had three kids according to the passage.‎ B. Hawking’s intelligence and spirits influenced enormous people all over the world.‎ C. Hawking’s disease became worse quickly after being diagnosed.‎ D. Almost all his life was devoted to the exploration of the universe in spite of his severe disease.‎ ‎29. What does the underlined word “diminish” most probably refer to?‎ A. Increase B. Decrease C. Gain D. Disappear ‎30. Which of the following words can be used to describe Hawking?‎ A. Active and knowledgeable B. Optimistic and determined C. Thoughtful and hardworking D. Diligent and kind ‎31. What was it that inspired Hawking to pursue his dream?‎ A. His courage and persistence with brilliance and humor.‎ B. His motor neuronal disease.‎ C. His insights into modern cosmology.‎ D. His being diagnosed with disease and seeing his friend die of leukaemia.‎ D It’s 3 o’clock and you’ve been hard at work. As you sit at your desk, a strong desire for chocolate overcomes you. You try to busy yourself to make it go away. But it doesn’t. Here is ‎ another situation. Perhaps you are not feeling well. The only thing you want to eat is a big bowl of chicken soup, like your mom used to make when you were sick as a child. Food cravings are a strong desire for a specific type of food. And they are normal.‎ Scientists at the website How Stuff Works compare hunger and cravings this way. Hunger is a fairly simple connection between the stomach and the brain. They even call it simply “stomach hunger.” When our stomachs burn up all of the food we have eaten, a hormone (荷尔蒙) sends a message to one part of the brain for more food, which regulates our most basic body functions such as thirst, hunger and sleep. The brain then produces a chemical to start the appetite and you eat. Hunger is a function of survival.‎ A craving is more complex. It activates (使活跃) brain areas related to emotion, memory and reward. These are the same areas of the brain activated during drug-craving studies. So, some scientists call food cravings “mind hunger.” People often crave foods that are high in fat and sugar. Foods that are high in fat or high in sugar produce chemicals in the brain. These chemicals give us feelings of pleasure.‎ In a 2007 study, researchers at Cambridge‎ ‎University found that “dieting or restricted eating generally increases the possibility of food craving.” So, the more you deny yourself a food that you want, the more you may crave it. However, fasting is a bit different. They found that eating no food at all for a short period of time lessened food cravings.‎ So, the next time you crave something very specific, know that your brain may be more to blame than your stomach.‎ ‎32. What is the function of the first paragraph?‎ A. To remind readers of their own special food.‎ B. To deepen the understanding of hunger.‎ C. To report the discovery of craving study.‎ D. To lead to the topic of the whole passage.‎ ‎33. What do we learn about food craving?‎ A. It shows food is linked to feelings.‎ B. It ensures a person survives hunger.‎ C. It means the stomach functions well.‎ D. It proves the brain decides your appetite.‎ ‎34. What’s the likely result of dieting?‎ A. The decrease of chemicals. B. The increase of food desire.‎ C. The refusal of fat and sugar. D. The disappearance of appetite.‎ ‎35. What does the passage mainly discuss?‎ A. The functions of brain areas. B. What hunger is all about.‎ C. The findings of food craving. D. What dieting may bring us.‎ 第二节 (共5小题；每小题2分，满分10分) ‎ 根据短文内容，从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。‎ Holidays can be a very lonely time, particularly for those who spend the holidays solo. ‎ ‎ 36 ‎ ‎1.Plan your time in advance ‎ You’ll have several days to fill up, so be proactive.
