Obesity (肥胖症) is becoming a problem in our busy society, and almost one in three American adults is now considered to be obese. Children obesity is alsoat an all-time high.
Obesity means being very overweight. If you are obese, you have too much bodyfat. If you eat more food than your body can use, this will make you put on weight. Food that your body does not need will be stored as fat by your body.
The following are the major factors that increase the risk of obesity.
What you eat plays a major role in weight gain. Eating a lot of fast food such as hamburgers, sweet drinks, ice creams and other sweet food can increase the risk of becoming obese.
If you do not do enough exercise, you will put on weight as the food you eat is not being used to make energy for physical activities.
The chances of you being obese are greater if your parents are obese.
There are many psychological factors that cause people to eat too much. People who are worried, unhappy or bored will often eat to make themselves feel better. This is known as comfort eating.
Age is another factor, as you tend (趋于) to be less active when you get older. When you get older, you need to eat less, and if you do not eat less, you will put on weight. Obesity can cause many health problems such as heart problems, high blood pressure and many other serious medical conditions. 1. The underlined sentence in paragraph 1 means that ____. A. obesity does not do harm to health. B. there are more obese children than before. C. all the American children are obese. D. there are less obese children in the USA.
2. According to the passage, there are ____ major factors that increase the risk of obesity. A. three B. four C. five D. six 3. What will the writer most probably talk about after the last paragraph? A. How to avoid obesity.
B. How to live in the busy USA. C. What illnesses are caused by obesity. D. How doctors treat heart problems.

Scientists often compare coral reefs(珊瑚礁) to underwater rainforests, yet unlike the leafy plant base of a forest, corals are animals. The soft creatures are naturally half-transparent and get their brilliant color1 from algae(藻类) living inside them. When corals experience stress from hot temperatures or pollution, theyhaltthe interdependent relationship with algae, typically pushing them out and turning white. Corals are still alive when they are white, but they're at risk and many eventually die, turning dark brown.
Scientists around the world are looking for means to protect and maybe increase corals. One common option is to create more protected areas — essentially national parks in the ocean. Beyond nature preserves, some conservationists are looking to more hands-on methods. One research center in the Florida Keys is exploring a form of natural selection to keep corals remaining. The reef system in the Keys has been hit hard by climate change and pollution, which is especially tough, because corals there help support fisheries worth $ 100 million every year.
To keep the wild ecosystem alive, Erinn Muller, the center's director, and her team are harvesting samples of the corals that survived the environmental stress naturally, keeping them to make them reproduce, and then reattaching them to the reef. They have 46,000 corals on plastic frames under the sea. So far, the center has regrown over 70,000 corals from five different species on damaged reefs.
In The Bahamas, Ross Cunning, a research biologist at Chicago's Shedd Aquarium, focuses on corals with genes that could make them natural candidates for restoration projects. He published a study of two Bahamian reefs, one that survived an extreme 2015 heat wave, and one that didn't. \"We think their ability to deal with these higher temperatures is built into their genes,\" says Cunning. There's evidence of corals evolving more quickly to resist rapidly warming climate. The big question scientists need investigate, adds Gunning, is how much more heat corals can adapt to.
4. What does the underlined word \"halt\" in the first paragraph mean?
A. End. B. Develop. C. Strengthen. D. Weaken. 5. What do Muller and her team do to save corals?
A. Restore the damaged reefs. B. Grow corals by hand underwater. C. Create more protected areas. D. Move corals to unpolluted areas.
6. What do Gunning's words suggest?
A. Many corals have been genetically improved. B. Cooling down the waters is key to rescuing corals.
C. Reasons for corals surviving heat waves are shocking. D. The highest temperature corals can survive is unclear.
7. Which can be a suitable title for the text?
A. Relationship between corals and algae B. Efforts made to save corals C. Impact of climate warming on corals D. Survival crisis faced by coral reefs

Have you ever been on social media and seen your favorite celebrity talking about a product? These promotions might not be totally random, and are actually seen as a vital part of the marketing process. The question is: How do social media influencers ‘influence’ what you buy?
Human desire for status and making friends, combined with our need to belong to a group, makes us receptive to being ‘socially influenced’. Companies often use that desire to have a similar lifestyle to a celebrity we admire to sell or launch a product. So, what do these promotions actually do?
Firstly, they can be used to build brand awareness. A social media influencer should have a strong understanding of the platform they operate on, and therefore can create appealing content that not only sticks to the brand image, but sparks their followers’ interests in a product they might never have seen before.
Secondly, influencers can improve a company or product’s relationship with their customer base. According to InMoment’s 2018 US Retail CX Trends Report on customer loyalty, 77% of buyers have been brand loyal for more than ten years. This is also true of 60% of millennials. A popular celebrity can target key customers and talk or blog about a product, which can create an instant and lasting bond with them.
Lastly, influencers can improve customer buying habits with seemingly ‘unbiased opinions’. We are more likely to respond to ‘peer recommendation’ than traditional ads, meaning the fact we see an influencer as a ‘friend’ can make us less likely to be doubtful about what we are seeing.
So, the next time you see a celebrity talking about a product, you might want to consider that this could be a carefully worked-out marketing strategy designed to target your core needs. If you find yourself examining a product you’ve seen on social media, you may well have been influenced. 8. Why do companies invite celebrities to launch products? A. Because celebrities can improve the companies’ public images.
B. Because consumers like to share similarity with celebrities. C. Because celebrities want to make more money. D. Because consumers can make friends with celebrities.
9. According to the passage, which strategy is often used by influencers? A. Setting up operation platforms. B. Sending gifts to customers.
C. Improving relationship with the company. D. Taking advantage of their popularity. 10. To customers, the recommendations of influencers seem to be ________.
A. offensive B. subjective C. objective D. misleading 11. The passage is mainly about ________.
A. how social media make ads B. how social media influence our lifestyle C. how social influencers affect our buying D. how celebrities earn fame
D
In ancient times, Chinese used plant leaves or bird feathers as a fan during the summer time. This was the earliest form of the fan. The first real fan was made back in the era of Yao and Shun period thousands of years ago. Since then,Chinese-made fans have become a vital part of Chinese art and culture. At the beginning, the fan functioned as a tool to generate a current of air in the hot weather. Now electric fans such as ceiling fans and other technological breakthroughs have taken the place.
Long ago, fans caught the attention of ancient Chinese artists by chance. Thereafter, a unique fan art gradually took shape in the history of Chinese culture. Fan art usually includes Chinese calligraphy, paintings, or poems on the sectors（扇区）. Special skills are needed to write or paint on them.
Due to its history and partly because of its unique shape, Chinese would soon develop the tradition of using fans as ornaments（装饰品）. Fans are made in different sizes and different color1 s to meet the needs of each request. Other Chinese ornaments, such as the Chinese knot, the green jade, and the Spring Festival picture, are often combined in each design.
The value of fans depends mainly on the materials used and the level of craftsmanship that is involved during the process. Feather, paper, jade, bamboo and silk have all been used as ideal materials to make fans. Ancient Chinese even made iron fans to serve as deadly weapons（武器）in Chinese martial arts. Fans made by famous craftsmen are often characterized by pretty designs and detailed workmanship, and thus become favorites of collectors. Fans with masterpiece fine art like calligraphy or paintings are even more valuable. 12.What is the first paragraph mainly about?
A. The origin of fans. B. The materials of fans. C. The popularity of fans. D. The production of fans. 13. Why do Chinese use fans as ornaments? A. They are made of valuable materials. B. They reflect the beauty of Chinese culture. C. They convey literature works on the sectors. D. They are often combined with other ornaments.
14. Which of the following makes a fan favored by most collectors? A. Its advanced function. B. Its complex character. C. Its artistic handicraft. D. Its various applications. 15. What can we infer about the fan from the text? A. Chinese send fans to their friends as gifts. B. Chinese ornaments can meet different requests. C. Traditional fans have lost their functional value. D. The fan plays different roles with the change of time. 第二节（共5小题；每小题2分，满分10分）
