26、The first time I questioned the traditional wisdom on the nature of a healthy diet, it was 40 years ago, and the subject was salt. Researchers found that salt supplementation(补充) was unnecessary after exercise, and this advice was passed on by health reporters. I recalled high school football practices in hot days. Without salt pills, I couldn’t make it through a two-hour practice.

Although sports nutritionists have recommended consuming more salt when we sweat hard in physical activity, the message that we should avoid salt at all other times remains strong. And salt is still considered deadly.

So why have we been told that salt is so deadly? The advice has always sounded reasonable: Eat more salt, and your body keeps water to maintain a stable concentration of sodium (钠) in your blood. This is why salty food might make us thirsty: We drink more; we keep water. The result can be a temporary increase in blood pressure. The scientific question is whether this temporary phenomenon leads to permanent problems: If we eat too much salt for years, does it cause high blood pressure, and then kill us? It makes sense, but it’s only a hypothesis(假设), which hasn’t been proved but unfortunately accepted as a fact.

In reality, eating less salt can worsen health. Decades ago, Italian researchers’ study reported that reducing salt consumption increased the risk of dying early and that reducing sodium to a government-recommended “safe upper limit” is actually harmful.

Supporters of the eat-less-salt campaign(运动) tend to deal with this opposing evidence (证据) by implying that anyone raising it is a shill(同谋) for the food industry (widely criticized for adding salt to processed foods to improver taste). When several government agencies held a hearing last November to discuss how to ensure Americans eat less salt, anti-salt supporters argued that the latest reports suggesting damage from lower-salt diets should simply be ignored. This attitude, which lacks respect for science, has been held for the anti-salt campaign for decades. Maybe now is the time for it to change.

【1】The underlined phrase in paragraph 1 refers to the belief that_________.

A．people should take in salt after exercise

B．salt intake was needless after physical activity

C．salt pills were helpful during football practices

D．a healthy diet does not necessarily include enough salt

【2】What does the Italian researchers’ study show?

A．Eating less salt can harm our health.

B．Eating too much salt raises blood pressure.

C．We should try to avoid salt on a daily basis.

D．We should follow the recommended “safe upper limit”.

【3】What do the eat-less-salt campaigners do with the opposing evidence?

A．They treat it with some respect.

B．They report it to the government agencies.

C．They do scientific experiments to support it.

D．They suggest that the food industry is behind it.

【4】What is the writer’s attitude towards the anti-salt campaign?

A．Supportive.

B．Unconcerned.

C．Puzzled.

D．Negative.

27、By now, you’ve probably been warned that a robot is coming for your job. But rather than repeat the warning, I’ve decided to throw down a challenge: man against machine.

Start with the task we’re doing right now: communicating in fluent human. We’re sharing abstract ideas through words that we choose with an understanding of their slight difference and impact. We don’t just speak in human; we speak as humans. A robot who says that science is fun is delivering a line (念一句话). A human who says that science is fun is telling you something important about being alive.

Here’s another inbuilt advantage we take for granted: as humans we are limited by design. We are bound in time: we die. We are bound in space: we can’t be in more than one place at a time. That means when I speak to an audience, I am giving them something special. It’s a custom-made, one-off, 100% robot-free delivery, from today’s one-and-only Australian Chief Scientist.

True, I now come in digital versions, through Twitter and Facebook and other platforms, but the availability of those tools hasn’t stopped people from inviting me to speak in person. Digital Alan seems to increase the appetite for human Alan, just as Spotify (a digital music service) can increase the demand for a musician’s live performances.

Thanks to technology, many goods and services are cheaper, better and more accessible than ever before. We like our mass-produced bread, and our on-tap lectures and our automated FitBit advice. But automation hasn’t killed the artisan bakery (面包店). Online courses haven’t killed the booming, alongside their machine equivalents.

Here’s a third argument for the win. We humans have learned the habit of civilization. Let me explain this point by a story. A few years go, some researchers set out to study the way the people interact with robots. They sent out a small robot to patrol (巡逻) the local mall. That robot had a terrible time, and the villains of the story were children. They kicked him, bullied him, and smacked (掌击) him in the head.

The point is not that the children were violent. The point is that the adults were not. They restrained whatever primitive impulse (冲动) they might have felt in childhood to smack something smaller and weaker in the head, because they had absorbed the habit of living together. We call it civilization. If we want artificial intelligence for the people, we’ll need every bit of that civilizing instinct.

Together, these points suggest to me that humanity has a powerful competitive edge. We can coexist with our increasingly capable machines and we can make space for the full breadth of human talents to flourish.

【1】What’s humans’ second advantage according to the author?

A．Our special personality.

B．Our super intelligence.

C．Our unique existence.

D．Our language ability.

【2】What’s the author’s attitude towards Spotify and FitBit?

A．Negative.

B．Doubtful.

C．Grateful.

D．Reserved.

【3】Why does the author tell the story of a small robot?

A．To prove humans are well-educated.

B．To show children are naughty in nature.

C．To suggest machines will become violent.

D．To indicate machines can serve humans well.

【4】What’s the author’s final conclusion about humans and machines?

A．Both sides would be losers in the fight.

B．Humans will completely defeat machines.

C．Machines will replace humans in many fields.

D．Humans and machines will live in harmony with each other.

28、How to Choose a College When You Can’t Visit

College tours and overnight visits have always been necessary parts of the college selection process. How do you choose a college when you can’t visit? You can get much information online.

Visit colleges virtually. Many colleges and universities have created official virtual tours for students who are unable to visit in person. Besides, YouTube is home to thousands of college video tours. 【1】

【2】 When evaluating colleges, you don’t want to rely entirely on their official descriptions. You’ll also want to learn what the students who actually attend the college think about their experience. Fortunately, there are many excellent resources for getting the student opinions on everything.

【3】 If you want to study in a college, you’ll obviously want to make sure which fields of the school you’re considering are strong in. Individual college websites, of course, always have an “academics” area that lists all majors and minors, and you’ll be able to drill down to get information about specific majors.

Pay attention to after-class opportunities. 【4】 Be sure to visit college websites to look over the clubs, student organizations, athletic teams, musical bands and other opportunities for staying involved outside of the classroom. Also look into opportunities for internships(实习), conducting research with professors, studying abroad, tutoring and other experiences that will help you gain valuable hands-on experience and strengthen your skills for your future career.

Look at the school’s outcomes. The end goal of college, of course, is to give you the knowledge and skills you'll need to succeed in whatever you do later in life. 【5】 PayScale provides salary data for the US colleges and universities, so you’ll be able to see median early- career and mid-career pay.

A．Read student reviews.

B．Evaluate the curriculum.

C．Pay attention to class size and student or teacher rate.

D．Some colleges are better at preparing students for the future.

E．College is about much more than classes and earning a degree.

F．Many things contribute to your academic experience in college.

G．So they can give you viewpoints independent of schools’ talking points.

29、A few years ago, Ruo, a retired esports player of the video game League of Legends, shouted out “Uzi, YYDS”, when watching Uzi, another Chinese professional player, on a live broadcast.

YYDS, the pinyin abbreviation (缩写) of the four-Chinese-character expression, literally meaning “eternal god”, illustrates one’s feeling for something or someone godlike and exceptional. The abbreviated slang (俚语) reached its peak of popularity at the Tokyo Summer Olympics. Whenever a Chinese player won gold at the Games, the video was filled with YYDS bullet comments.

However the internet slang like “YYDS” has raised concerns among those in education.

Cheng Xudong, an elementary school teacher, says that the evolution of the internet slang is not all fun and carefree. From his daily observations, the boundary between the internet slang and formal language is disappearing, as he has seen that his pupils’ compositions are flooded with abbreviated slangs.

“As a Chinese language teacher, I don’t feel comfortable when I read these abbreviations in their compositions,” he says. “The misuse of homophones (同音异义词) is also causing a big headache, Ya is seen many times intentionally replaced by some pupils using one of the homophones that means ‘duck’,” he adds. “The sentence ‘I am so happy’ literally turns to ‘I am happy duck’ by using the homophone.”

However, many experts and scholars in linguistics believe that internet language is a natural product of the dynamic development of language, and it is not necessary to prohibit it.

The post 80s generation despised the “Martian text (火星文)” used by those of post-90s back then, which replaced Chinese characters with substandard ones of foreign scripts. People who do not know how to use it often need to use an online translator to understand it. It was regarded as brain-disabled characters 10 years ago. But later, interestingly, the Martian text disappeared naturally and no one is using it nowadays.

The evolution of language reflects the development of the times as well as the current social and cultural life psychology. In this sense, it is not that this generation of young people do not speak “well”, but in fact, each generation has a generational style of language, says novelist Ma Boyong, when addressing the phenomenon at an interview.

【1】What does the author want to show by mentioning YYDS?

A．The extensive use of Chinese internet slang.

B．The negative influence of Chinese internet slang,

C．The use of Chinese internet slang in video games.

D．The misunderstanding about Chinese internet slang.

【2】What is a matter of concern according to Cheng Xudong?

A．Some of his pupils use the internet slang at will.

B．Some of his pupils cannot distinguish homophones.

C．Some of his pupils cannot express themselves with right words.

D．Some of his pupils make inappropriate changes to the internet slang.

【3】What does the underlined word “despised” in the last but one paragraph probably mean?

A．Thought highly of.

B．Kept up with.

C．Looked down upon.

D．Looked forward to.

【4】What does Ma Boyong think of Chinese internet slang?

A．Misleading.

B．Meaningless.

C．Beneficial.

D．Acceptable.

Mr. Selfridge, the Wisconsin-born retailer who left school at 14, rose to become a partner in Marshall Field's, Chicago. 【1】 in 1852, it was one of the first and most ambitious US department stores. Mr. Selfridge had done well with Marshall Field's. He liked to say, 'The customer is always right, ' which made the Chicago store popular. And he is believed to have 【2】 the phrase 'Only Shopping Days until Christmas'.

When he visited London on holiday in 1906, he was surprised to find most of the city's department stores were no 【3】 for their American and Parisian competitors. This led Selfridge to leave the US and establish Selfridges - a department store named after him at the west end of London's Oxford Street. In Oxford Street, Selfridge's design team 【4】 an ambitious classical palace building with a wall of plate glass windows.

Opened in 1909, Selfridges 【5】 customers a hundred departments along with restaurants, a roof garden, reading and writing rooms, reception areas for foreign visitors, a first 【6】 room and most importantly, a small army of knowledgeable floor-walking assistants who served as guides as well as being【7】 instructed in the art of making a sale.

Mr. Selfridge did much to make the department store a destination rather than just a big and 【8】 stocked city shop. It became a place to meet and for ladies to lunch. Mr. Selfridge later introduced the department store as a key 【9】 of the 20th century culture, and Chaplin 【10】 the growing trend for shopping in the -department store in his film The Floorwalker.

32、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。

It was somewhere between spring and summer my mom and I were driving through the countryside. Back then I was 13 years old and always felt unhappy with Mom. But little did I know that this trip was going to be a special one.

A pot of flowers sat in the back seat, whose heavenly scent filled the car. Suddenly, in the middle of nowhere, my mom pulled over. “What are you doing？” I cried, fearing that the car had broken down and we’d be stuck there, so far from home. But that wasn’t the case. My mom hopped out (快速跳出来) of the car, grabbing the flowers from the back seat. “It’ll just be a minute，” she called back through the open windows.

My eyes impatiently skimmed the edge of the road before settling on a little sign showing that it was a nursing home. I looked back to the building, somewhat annoyed, as my mom reappeared—empty-handed.

Before she started the car, curiosity drove me to ask, “Do you know someone there？” She shook her head. “Then what did you do with the flowers？” She smiled slightly, “I gave them to the receptionist(前台接待员).” “What？” She laughed at my confusion. “I told the receptionist to give the flowers to whoever needed them, especially who hasn’t gotten any in a while.”

I kept silent for a moment. Not long after we continued our driving, I spoke again, “Did you leave your name? ”To this she answered instantly, “No. Leaving flowers there for someone who will appreciate them makes me feel good, which is enough of a thank for me.”

Suddenly, still thinking about Mom’s deeds, I heard something burst loudly. It was our car that broke down! Nothing could be worse, because neither my mom nor I understood how to repair it, and we didn’t know where the garage was. It also seemed impossible to wait for any passer-by, since we had seen so few along the way.
