Recognizing第三部分阅读理解(共15小题;每小题2分,满分30分) B Not very long ago, the question would have seemed absurd. Now it is on the lips of respected scientists; MPs(议员) are beginning to talk of a war on sugar, and even Englands chief medical officer has said sugar may have to be, like the old enemy tobacco, taxed in order toprotect the nations health. There came a time in the evolution of public attitudes to smoking, when the doctors had been shouting for long enough that the public was broadly aware of the risks and the only question left, for Government was: what should we do about it? Some believe we are now at the same point in our attitudes to sugar. Others - largely but not only representatives of the food and drink industry - say the entire debate has been skewed,(歪曲) by those who spread stories deliberately to make people nervous. More or less everyone agrees that eating too much sugar is bad for you. There is also no doubt obesity is a growing problem which is putting a significant, avoidable burden on the NHS by increasing the rates of diabetes, heart disease and other long-term conditions. But to what extent is sugar - rather than saturated fats, or salt, carbohydrates or proteins, or any of the other devils of modem diets - the cause of obesity and how much should we worry about it? Yesterday, hopes of achieving anything resembling clarity（清楚） from the World Health Organization (WHO) were confused once again, which, widely expected to reduce the recommended sugar intake by a half in new draft guidance, instead said it would continue to recommend that sugar make up no more than 10 per cent of the energy we consume, while adding that cutting this to five per cent would have additional benefits. The decision will now go out to public consultation. Simon Capewell, professor of the University of Liverpool, said that he suspected dirty work on the part of food and drinks companies might lie behind the WHOs less than resounding message.中国%#教&育*出版网 The food industry say Government has no business interfering（介入） in families, we must protect personal choice, Professor Capewell said. We say there is no personal choice. At the moment, a mother can walk into a supermarket with a choice of four tomato soups - with three, or four, or five teaspoons of sugar in them. She has a choice of thousands of ready meals with five, or six, or even nine teaspoons of sugar in.59. By referring to smoking the author indicates that_. A. sugar has just turned out to be as harmful as smoking B. it is not easy for authorities to restrict or ban something C. it is easy for people to see bad effects of something D. people must see the disadvantages of sugar immediately60. WHO has changed its idea mainly because_. A. it thinks the danger of sugar to health is overemphasized B. it finds it safe to take in as much sugar as people do now C. it believes certain amount of intake of sugar does us goodwww.zzste%# D. it has been put under pressure by food and drinks companies61. When reporting the argument about sugar, the author seems to _. A. remain objective B. stand by those against it C. believe it harmless D. hold the view of wait-and-see62. Which of the following can be the proper title for the passage? A. Is sugar the new evil? B. How much sugar do you take daily?中国*教育%&出版#网C. Is sugar to be taxed? D. How much do you know about sugar?C Scientists from the University of East Anglia have identified four new man-made gases that are contributing to the damage to the ozone(臭氧) layer. Two of the gases are accumulating at a rate that is causing concern among researchers. Worries over the growing ozone hole have seen the production of chlorofluorocarbon (CFC) gases restricted since the mid 1980s. But the precise origin of these new, similar substances remains a mystery. Lying in the atmosphere, the ozone layer plays a critical role in blocking harmful UV rays, which cause cancers in humans and reproductive problems in animals. Scientists from the British Antarctic Survey were the first to discover a huge hole in the ozone over Antarctica in 1985. The evidence quickly pointed to CFC gases, which were invented in the 1920s, and were widely used in refrigeration. Extraordinarily, global action was rapidly agreed to deal with CFCs and the Montreal Protocol to limit these substances came into being in 1987. A total global ban on production came into force in 2010. Now, the newly discovered four new gases can destroy ozone and are getting into the atmosphere from as yet unidentified sources. Three of the gases are CFCs and one is a hydrochlorofluorocarbon (HCFC), which can also damage ozone. The research has shown that four gases were not around in the atmosphere at all until the 1960s, which suggests they are man-made. The scientists discovered the gases by analyzing polar snow pack. Air from this snow is a natural archive of what was in the atmosphere up to 100 years ago. The researchers also looked at modern air samples, collected at remote Cape Grim in Tasmania.中国教&育出*版网 They estimate that about 74,000 tonnes of these gases have been released into the atmosphere. Two of the gases are accumulating at significant rates. However, they dont know where the new gases are being released from and this should be investigated. Possible sources include chemicals for insecticide（杀虫剂） production and solvents（溶液） for cleaning electronic ponents. The three CFCs are being destroyed very slowly in the atmosphere - so even if emissions（散发） were to stop immediately, they will still be around for many decades to come. Of the four species identified, CFC-113a seems the most worrying as there is a very small but growing emission source somewhere, maybe from agricultural insecticides. We should find it and take it out of production.63. What do we know about the newly discovered gases? A. Some are surely produced by the development of agriculture.来源:zzst#e*% B. The CFCs will have a long impact once they are released. C. They gather together in the atmosphere at a medium speed. D. Their amounts are not large enough to cause damage to us.64. The underlined word archive in Paragraph 6 is closest to the meaning of_ A. state B. resource C. phenomenon D. storeroom65. What will the scientists probably attempt to do about the gases next? A. Find out what can replace things like insecticides and put them into use. B. Find out how they destroy ozone and get rid of those in the atmosphere. C. Find out where they are exactly from and stop them from being released. D. Find out if HCFC is more harmful than CFCs and take proper measures. D Charles Dickens was one of the most beloved storytellers in the English language. His novels made him famous in his own time, and continue as classics in ours. Dickens began his literary career with almost no formal education. He was born in Landport, on Feb. 7, 1812, the second of eight children. When he was 12, his father was sent to debtors prison. Dickens was forced to quit school and work in a London blacking factory. He would rework that terrible experience into his fiction for the rest of his life. He was a social reformer, says actor Simon Callow, author of a new biography called Charles Dickens and the Great Theatre of the World. He knew what poverty was. He knew what it was to be rejected, to be cast aside, to live in squalor (悲惨). And so Dickens wrote with great sympathy for the suffering of innocent and vulnerable (易受攻击的) children - characters like David Copperfield, Little Dorrit and the orphan, Oliver Twist: With his slice of bread in his hand, and his little brown parish cap on his head, Oliver was now led away from the wretched home, where one kind word or look never lighted the gloom of his infant (幼儿) days. Yet he burst into an agony of childish grief as the cottage gate closed after him. Wretched as were the little panions in，misery he was now leaving behind him, they were the only friends he had ever had. His first book Sketches by Boz came out in 1836. With the appearance of Oliver Twist in London periodicals in 1837, the 25-year-old Dickens became the most popular writer in England. But his first love was theater, and he considered being an actor. When he was actually writing, he became his characters, says Peter Ackroyd, author of Dickens: Public Life and Private Passion. He would get up from his desk, go over to the mirror and mouth the words - do the expressions, grimaces (嵬脸), whatever, and then laugh, chuckle to himself, then go back to his desk and write it down. Dickens created 989 named characters, which increased his popularity. Every one of his major works has been adapted for either stage or screen. A Christmas Carol inspired more than a dozen films, from Alistair Sims Scrooge in 1951 to Jim Carreys voicing of the same character in Disneys 2009, 3-D animated film. The original 1843 manuscript（手稿） of A Christmas Carolis on display at the Morgan Library. Dickens wrote everything by hand, in tiny script, with a quill pen. Remarkably, the manuscript is both the first and the final draft, says Kiely, the curator. You can see where Dickens has changed the name of the first chapter from Old Marleys Ghost to Marleys Ghost. Further down the page, he has canceled an entire section. He realizes hes not writing a novel, and he only has a very short time in which to write this, Kiely explains. Hes got to keep it tight, in order for it to be published in time for Christmas. Dickens wrote all the time. He traveled with a portable inkwell and a supply of quill pens. He was working on his last novel, Our Mutual Friend, en route from France to London when the train he was on crashed.来源:zz&s*% Dickens died five years later in 1870, after a stroke at age 58. As a ic talent and a social reformer, Dickens achievement was extraordinary, says novelist T.C. Boyle, who eamed a doctorate in Victorian literature. He achieved what any great artist achieves - a body of work that has entertained and delighted and instructed people down through the ages. Thats what we all hope for, says Boyle. But Dickens greatest fiction was his own character, says Callow, the biographer: People think of him as a cheerful man . but he was increasingly suffering from depression and a sense of hopelessness. And thats worth knowing. I think its always good to know that great creative individuals have their struggle, their drama.66. What can probably be reflected in Dickens works? A.
