第二部分 阅读理解（满分20分）阅读下列短文，从每题所给的A、B、C、D四个选项中，选出最佳选项。
A
Blowing our nose, burping (打饱嗝）after dinner and pooping (排便）…Unpleasant as they are, these things, according to Live Science, make up “the impolite science of the human body”.
Snot (鼻涕）
Snot's job is to protect our body from harmful viruses. Quite often, dirt, ash, or sand fill the air we breathe. But thankfully, snot stops these unhealthy things, which are taken out of our nose when we blow it.
Apart from protecting our nose snot can tell us whether we’re healthy or not according to its appearance. When it’s clear and colorless, that’s a sign of good health. If it turns green or yellow, however, it could be a sign that our body is being attacked by a virus.
Gas
From drinking fizzy (起泡的）drinks to eating food, we often breathe in gases like carbon dioxide, which end up in our stomach. Naturally, if we take in too much gas, our stomach will be filled with pressure and we may suffer from pain and cramps(痉挛).To stop this from happening, burping is an effective way to get these gases out of our stomach.
Occasional burping benefits our body. However, burping too much isn’t a good sign. That’s because it may suggest that we’re suffering from a digestive disorder.
Poop
Pooping is an extremely important function of the body. Every time we eat. the food is passed through our digestive system. Once our body has taken everything it needs from the food, it leaves our body as poop.
And though it’s gross, checking our poop after we go to the bathroom could tell us more about our health.
1、What does it suggest if snot is green?
A．There might be dirt in it. B．It is protecting our nose.
C．You are very healthy. D．Your body might be fighting a virus.
2、What do we know about burping from the article?
A．Fizzy drinks make people burp more than food does.
B．People may suffer from pain or cramps when burping.
C．It makes gases like carbon dioxide leave our stomach.
D．Burping a lot can make digestive disorders go away.
3、What does the underlined word "gross’’ in the paragraph probably mean?
A．Unpleasant. B．Unnecessary.
C．Unimportant. D．Unhealthy.

B
A cheetah (猎豹) can run 70 miles per hour. Blobfish (水滴鱼) don’t have any bones. These are facts I’ve learned from my 5-year-old son after he watched some networks, shows. He is greatly interested in scientific facts, so I was surprised the other day when I mentioned climate change.
After a few more questions, I discovered that he’s never heard any of his favorite science shows mention climate change. It is strange, because climate change is one of the most important environmental issues of our time. My son can tell you everything you ever wanted to know about red pandas, except for the fact that their existence is being threatened by the changing climate.
I reached out to PBS Kids, Nickelodeon, and Disney Junior to see if there was any truth to his claim. I was told that except an episode (一段情节) of Disney Junior’s Doc McStuffins called The Big Storm, none of the three networks’ shows has ever discussed the causes of climate change on our planet. Maybe you’re wondering if the reason is that kids’ science shows don’t ever tackle troubling environmental issues.
Why aren’t these networks introducing kids to such an important issue? According to Maria, spokeswoman for PBS Kids, it’s because the network feels that focusing on foundational science concepts is the most age-appropriate way to serve our audience. I don’t know about you, but I’d rather my kid learn a little about the melting polar ice caps than other things.
And kids can handle climate change. Even young children are able to understand the basic idea. More importantly, they’re able to begin taking action to slow down global warming. My guess is that the networks are afraid that promoting the science on a politically controversial (争议性的) issue will lead them to lose viewers or advertisers. But if that’s true, and they’re choosing their bottom line over the education of America’s children, that’s a real shame. Kids need to learn about the issue that threatens their planet if they’re ever going to feel inspired to save it.
1、Why did the author feel surprised at her son?
A．He has known many scientific facts.
B．He has watched a lot of network’s shows.
C．He didn’t care about global warming.
D．He knew nothing about climate change.
2、The author watched the three networks’ shows in order to .
A．get to know her son’s preference
B．find the reason of her son’s ignorance
C．find the causes of climate change
D．help her son know environmental issues
3、What does the author think his son should do?
A．Learn something about environmental issues.
B．Help to slow down global warming.
C．Discuss important issues with others.
D．Learn to handle climate change.
4、What is the purpose of the author’s writing this text?
A．To advice kids not to watch networks’ shows.
B．To introduce some politically controversial issues.
C．To express his attitude towards some networks.
D．To call on all Americans to care about kids’ education.

As a child, I was always told to “eat my greens”. These were the unappealing vegetables that sat on the edge of my plate. Peas, and green beans, all looked and tasted 1 . Let’s face it, when there were so many other delicious treats to 2 , why eat boring vegetables?

In Europe, a project called VeggieEAT has also been trying to find ways to get people to 15 more vegetables.

One idea has been to put a 17 of a tasty looking fruit on a supermarket trolley as a 18 about buying something from the fruit store. She says, “Choice is a really 19 thing. But making vegetables look attractive will increase their sales.”
Certainly, eating “twisted citrus-glazed carrots” does sound tempting, even if it just 20 like a carrot, but if it makes us eat more vegetables then that can only be a good thing for our health.
