21、   Australia and New Zealand’s health organizations have given their advice on when to use sunscreen (防晒霜), suggesting Australians apply it every day to avoid bad health effects.

A Sunscreen Summit took place in the Australian State of Queensland. During the summit, representatives from some of Australia’s leading research, medical and public health organizations examined the evidence on sunscreen use the determined that in most parts of the country it is beneficial to apply sunscreen every day.

“Up until now, public health organizations have recommended applying sunscreen ahead of planned outdoor activities but haven’t recommended applying it every day as part of a morning routine (惯例),” professor Rachel Neale from QIMR Berghofer Medical Research Institute said. “In recent years, it has become clear that the DNA damage causes skin cancer and melanoma (黑色素瘤), which is caused by repeated small exposure to sunlight over a period of time,” Neale said. “In Australia, we get a lot of sun exposure from everyday activities such as walking to the bus stop or train station,” Neale said.

A study showed that one in two Australians believed it was unhealthy and potentially dangerous to use sunscreen every day. However, Terry Slevin from the Public Health Association of Australia says it is wrong. “There is consistent and compelling evidence that sunscreens are safe,” Slevin said. “Importantly, medical trials have found that people who use sunscreen daily have the same levels of vitamin D as those who don’t,” Slevin added.

Australia has one of the highest rates of skin cancer in the world, which is made worse by the country’s close to Antarctica where there is a hole in the ozone layer (臭氧层), letting in higher numbers of UV rays.

【1】What made Australian health organizations advise Australians to use sunscreen?

A.The makers of sunscreen.

B.Australian government.

C.The Sunscreen Summit.

D.New Zealand’s researchers.

【2】What is not recommended before the Sunscreen Summit?

A.Using sunscreen as a morning routine.

B.Using sunscreen before outdoor activities.

C.Reducing the use of sunscreen.

D.Reducing outdoor activities.

【3】What is the misunderstanding of many Australians?

A.Sunscreen will never take effect.

B.Sunscreen is bad for people’s health.

C.People using sunscreen have the same levels of vitamin.

D.D. People using sunscreen won’t have skin cancer.

【4】Which of the following best explains “compelling” underlined in paragraph 4?

A.Interesting. B.Disappointing.

C.Boring. D.Convincing.

22、Children have their own rules in playing games. They seldom need a referee(裁判) and rarely trouble to keep scores. They don’t care much about who wins or loses, and it doesn’t seem to worry them if the game is not finished. Yet, they like games that depend a lot on luck, so that their personal abilities cannot be directly compared. They also enjoy games that move in stages, in which each stage, the choosing of leaders, the picking-up of sides, or the determining of which side shall start, is almost a game in itself.

Grown-ups can hardly find children’s games exciting, and they often feel puzzled（迷惑的）at why their kids play such simple games again and again. However, it is found that a child plays games for very important reasons. He can be a good player without having to think whether he is a popular person, and he can find himself being a useful partner to someone of whom he is ordinarily afraid. He becomes a leader when it comes to his turn. He can be confident, too, in particular games, that it is his place to give orders, to pretend to be dead, to throw a ball actually at someone, or to kiss someone he has caught.

It appears to us that when children play a game they imagine a situation under their control. Everyone knows the rules, and more importantly, everyone plays according to the rules. Those rules may be childish, but they make sure that every child has a chance to win.

【1】What is true about children when they play games?

A. They can stop playing any time they like.

B. They can test their personal abilities.

C. They want to pick a better team.

D. They don’t need rules.

【2】To become a leader in a game the child has to ________.

A. play well

B. wait for his turn

C. be confident in himself

D. be popular among his playmates

【3】Why does a child like playing games?

A. Because he can be someone other than himself.

B. Because he can become popular among friends.

C. Because he finds he is always lucky in games.

D. Because he likes the place where he plays a game.

【4】The writer believes that _____.

A. children should make better rules for their games.

B. children should invite grown-ups to play with them.

C. children’s games can do them a lot of good.

D. children play games without reasons.

23、Raising a baby takes a lot of work, especially when that baby is a king penguin. Now, it looks like climate change will make life even harder for these birds. A new study suggests that warmer waters could make their numbers decrease.

Most king penguins live on the Crozet Archipelago, about 1, 000 miles north of Antarctica. After the penguin chicks are born in November, which is summer in the Southern Hemisphere, both parents spend 4 months collecting fish to feed their babies. When the fish move to deeper waters in March, the adults leave their chicks alone for months and swim hundreds of miles south. There, near the Antarctic ice, they spend the winter eating seafood to add to their own energy stores. In October, the parents return to their home.

Scientists from France have been studying king penguins for more than a decade. Starting in 2008, Yvon Le Maho and his partners put electronic(电子的) ID cards under the skin of hundreds of penguins. These are the same type of cards you might put in your dogs or cats so that you can track them. The cards have allowed researchers to get everything about penguins, such as how long they live, whether they return from their winter trips, and if their babies manage to survive the winter.

Ocean surface temperatures vary from year to year. To see whether water temperatures affect the penguins, Le Maho compared his data with temperature records. Previous research had shown that fewer fish and other creatures grew when the water was warmer. Le Maho suspected(怀疑) that this drop would make it harder for adult penguins to survive the hard times ahead. Indeed, his results showed that fewer adults survived during winters when the water was especially warm.

King penguins can live for up to 30 years. And for now, the population still appears healthy. But a warming trend(趋势) could spell big trouble for a bird that depends on cold and ice.

【1】When do adult penguins most probably stay with their babies?

A．In April.

B．In July.

C．In August.

D．In December.

【2】What does the underlined word “These” in paragraph 3 refer to?

A．King penguins.

B．Your dogs or cats.

C．Electronic ID cards.

D．Scientists from France.

【3】How can we describe the influence of ocean warming on penguins?

A．Harmful.

B．Unimportant.

C．Helpful.

D．Unknown.

【4】What's the main purpose of the text?

A．To introduce penguins' daily life.

B．To call on the protection of baby penguins.

C．To present a study of penguins' raising babies.

D．To warn us about the climate change affecting penguins.

24、   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 mum used to make when you were sick as a child. Food cravings(嘴馋)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(激素)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(刺激) brain areas related to emotion, memory and reward .These are the same areas of the brain activated during drug-craving studies. Because of this, 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 cravings. So, the more you deny yourself a food that you want ,the more you may crave it. However, fasting(禁食)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 our stomach.

【1】What is the function of the first paragraph?

A.To deepen the understanding of hunger.

B.To lead to the topic of the whole passage.

C.To report the discovery of craving study.

D.To remind readers of their own special food.

【2】What do we learn about food cravings?

A.It means the stomach functions well.

B.It ensures a person survives hunger.

C.It shows food is linked to feelings.

D.It proves the brain decides your appetite.

【3】What's the likely result of dieting?

A.The increase of food desire.

B.The decrease of chemicals.

C.The refusal of fat and sugar.

D.The disappearance of appetite.

【4】What does the passage mainly discuss?

A.What dieting may bring us.

B.What hunger is all about.

C.The functions of brain areas.

D.The findings of food cravings.
