26、People who frequently eat fruit are more likely to report greater positive mental wellbeing and are less likely to report symptoms of depression than those who do not, according to new research from the College of Health and Life Sciences, Aston University. The team also found that people who eat savoury (咸味的) snacks such as crisps (薯片), which are low in nutrients, are more likely to report greater levels of anxiety.

Published in the British Journal of Nutrition, the study surveyed 428 adults from across the UK and looked at the relationship between their consumption of fruit, vegetables, sweet and savoury snacks, and their psychological health. The research found that both nutrient-rich fruit and nutrient-poor savoury snacks appeared to be linked to psychological health. They also found that there was no direct association between eating vegetables and psychological health. Based on the survey, the more often people ate fruit, the lower they scored for depression and the higher for mental wellbeing, independent of the overall quantity of fruit intake. By contrast, there was no link between these everyday memory lapses (差错) and fruit and vegetables intake or sweet snacks, suggesting a unique relationship between these nutrient-poor savoury snacks, everyday mental lapses, and psychological health.

Lead author, PhD student Nicola-Jayne Tuck commented, “Very little is known about how diet may affect mental health and wellbeing, and while we did not directly examine causality here, our findings could suggest that frequently snacking on nutrient-poor savoury foods may increase everyday mental lapses, which in turn reduces psychological health.”

“It is possible that changing what we snack on could be a really simple way to improve our mental wellbeing. Conversely, it is also possible that the forthcoming restriction of processed snacks at checkouts, due to come in this October, could not only improve the country’s physical health, but mental health too.”

“Overall, it’s definitely worth trying to get into the habit of reaching for the fruit bowl.”

【1】Which may lead to greater level of anxiety?

A．Savoury snacks.

C．Vegetables.

D．Grain.

【2】What can we learn from paragraph 2?

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

A．The relation between fruit and vegetables.

B．The relation between exercise and health.

C．The relation between snacks and mental health.

D．The relation between diet and mental health and wellbeing.

【4】Which is the most suitable title for the text?

27、Have you ever had a food that you tasted and you immediately disliked? Maybe it was broccoli, dark chocolate, or cottage cheese. Maybe you were “encouraged” to try the food again, and then one of those times you actually liked it. Many people have had this experience. While tastes are developed at a young age, they can be changed, which depends on a person’s desire to try.

Researchers at the University of Birmingham released a study that showed people have a flavor window. The flavor window is open for four-to-six-month-old babies. During this time, it is easier to get babies to try a food they have not previously tasted. As they grow up, the flavor window slowly closes, leaving most of them dubious of new foods.

However, the flavor window closing at a young age doesn’t mean it can’t be reopened. A study found that if babies are introduced to a new food 5 to 10 times, they can grow to like it. That amount goes up as children grow older. Ultimately, the study came to the conclusion that the flavor window may never be completely shut.

Being willing to try a new food repeatedly is necessary to open a person’s flavor window again. Each attempt will lessen the natural unwillingness of something new. Eventually, “not bad” can turn into “pretty good”. One method for inspiring courage to try new foods multiple times is testing different ingredients. Adding an ingredient-sugar or salt, perhaps-that one enjoys, might make an unappealing food more appealing. Once the person has trained him or herself to like the food, the added ingredient may not be necessary.

Overcoming a dislike of a particular food requires tasting a food in different ways and at different times. In spite of strange smells, odd textures, or distinctive flavors, a person has the ability to acquire a true liking for even the most unique and unusual foods. So don’t give up-you never know when you might surprise yourself and discover that broccoli is your new favorite food!

【1】What does the study find about babies?

A．Babies are naturally unwilling to try new foods.

B．Babies develop a favorite food if they eat that food many times.

C．Babies are more likely to accept new foods when the flavor window is open.

D．Babies who are not exposed to new foods will experience a narrow flavor window.

【2】What does the underlined word in paragraph 2 mean?

A．Greedy.

B．Doubtful.

C．Impatient.

D．Bored.

【3】Why does the author include paragraph 4 in the text?

A．To explain how adding sugar or salt improves the taste of foods

B．To highlight that there is no reason why people stop trying new foods.

C．To warn that people may have difficulty preparing new foods properly.

D．To suggest that people can expand their flavor preferences with time and effort.

【4】Which of the following can be the best title for the text?

A．Don’t give up on broccoli.

B．Try new foods before it is too late.

C．Ways to reopen your flavor window.

D．A new study about your eating habits.

28、   What are your favorite emojis? What about your parents? People of different ages like using different emojis. Wechat did a report about this in January. Let’s have a look.

Emojis are a kind of special language. Picture are used to put meaning across. They show what people think about, like and care about. They can be used to stand for different groups of people. Unicode Consortlum is in charge of choosing offical emojis faces with different skin tones(肤色)were added. In 2016, different jobs were added, such as doctor, police officer and painter-along with female versions of these jobs. This year, emojis of disabled people were added, including emojis of blind people and people in wheelchairs.

But there is also more to emojis. They can also refer to pop culture.

New emojis in 2019 have included several animals, such as sloths(树懒)and flamingos(火烈鸟). These animals are not very common, but are known to many people. For example, sloths have become popular thanks to the 2016 film Zootopia. Many fashion designers have included flamingos in their designs in recent years. This animals makes people feel like they’re on a tropical(热带的)vacation.

It seems that emojis are a mirror of the world we lived in. It will be interesting to see how they change and grow in the years to come.

29、Asia has long tradition of tea- drinking. And China is no exception.

However, lately more and more Chinese people are turning to a different drink. Coffee has become an increasingly popular choice of Chinese people living abroad and in the country's huge cities. It is also a popular crop among those living in the mountains of southern Yunnan Province.

In big cities such as Beijing, coffee shops seem to be on nearly every major street corner. These shops are not just selling drinks from Starbucks, the world-famous coffee company. Coffee businesses from South Korea, Taiwan, HongKong and Britain are also operating in China.

Tea-drinking is steeped in the culture and traditions of many countries, like China and Japan. But is that changing? Are young people from Asia now choosing a cup of coffee instead of tea?

BeiBei Su is from China. She has been living in the United States for the past eight years. Before that, she lived in Italy for two years. Ms. Su says she likes tea better than coffee. But she adds that may not be true among the young generation in China. Many young Chinese people drink coffee socially --when meeting with friends. Yang Lin lives in the U.S. but comes from an area in China famous for growing tea. She used to only drink tea while in China. But now, she says, she drinks both and for different reasons.

Yang Lin says that drinking coffee for her is a social event. She and her co-workers like to sit in a cafe and talk over a cup of coffee. Voyo is another Chinese woman who now lives in Washington, D.C. She says that after moving to the U.S. Her tastes changed. We would call her a coffee convert, someone who now chooses to drink coffee.

With more people drinking coffee, many see an economic（经济的）opportunity for Chinese -grown beans. China-grown coffee could be a money- maker even if most of the coffee on sale in China is imported.

【1】What does the author mainly introduce?

B. Because she can talk with friends.

C. Because she has drunk tea so long.

D. Because her tastes has changed.

【4】From the last paragraph, we can infer that _____

A. less and less coffee will be imported in China in the future.

B. the China-grown coffee beans will be sold to the world soon.

Adam got everything he wanted, such as toy cars, airplane models, water guns and so on. His parents bought him whatever he wanted, and Adam loved to add new items to his collection of toys. One day he went out to a store with his mother and in the toy section he found a very cool toy car which could play different kinds of sounds that a car could make. He was surprised to see that kind of toy car, so he ran to his mother and told her everything about it. Adam took his mother to the toy section to show how it worked. However, his mother refused to buy it for him because he already had a lot of toy cars. Adam was sad and wondered why his mother did not buy it for him, especially since that toy car was rather cheap.

Two weeks later, Adam and his mother went to the same store again. Adam thought that his mother would buy it for him this time, so he asked his mother about the toy car again. His mother ignored him because she was looking for something else. But Adam really wanted the toy car.

So, while his mother was busy looking for some other items, he took the toy car and put it inside his backpack. The salesman saw Adam stealing the toy car and tried to stop him. Adam tried to run hut the salesman caught him. Adam started to cry. His mother heard his voice and ran to him. She was shocked to see the salesman holding her son.
