22．（8分）It’s 3 o’clock and you’ve been hard at work. As you sit at your desk, a strong desire for chocolate overcomes you. You try to busy yourself to make it go away. But it doesn’t. Here is another situation. Perhaps you are not feeling well. The only thing you want to eat is a big bowl of chicken soup, like your mom used to make when you were sick as a child. Food cravings are a strong desire for a specific type of food. And they are normal.
Scientists at the website How Stuff Works compare hunger and cravings this way. Hunger is a fairly simple connection between the stomach and the brain. They even call it simply “stomach hunger.” When our stomachs burn up all of the food we have eaten, a hormone (荷尔蒙) sends a message to one part of the brain for more food, which regulates our most basic body functions such as thirst, hunger and sleep. The brain then produces a chemical to start the appetite and you eat. Hunger is a function of survival.
A craving is more complex. It activates (使活跃) brain areas related to emotion, memory and reward. These are the same areas of the brain activated during drug-craving studies. So, some scientists call food cravings “mind hunger.” People often crave foods that are high in fat and sugar. Foods that are high in fat or high in sugar produce chemicals in the brain. These chemicals give us feelings of pleasure.
In a 2007 study, researchers at Cambridge University found that “dieting or restricted eating generally increases the possibility of food craving.” So, the more you deny yourself a food that you want, the more you may crave it. However, fasting is a bit different. They found that eating no food at all for a short period of time lessened food cravings.
So, the next time you crave something very specific, know that your brain may be more to blame than your stomach.
1、What is the function of the first paragraph?
A．To remind readers of their own special food.
B．To deepen the understanding of hunger.
C．To report the discovery of craving study.
D．To lead to the topic of the whole passage.
2、What do we learn about food craving?
A．It shows food is linked to feelings.
B．It ensures a person survives hunger.
C．It means the stomach functions well.
D．It proves the brain decides your appetite.
3、What’s the likely result of dieting?
A．The decrease of chemicals. B．The increase of food desire.
C．The refusal of fat and sugar. D．The disappearance of appetite.
4、What does the passage mainly discuss?
A．The functions of brain areas. B．What hunger is all about.
C．The findings of food craving. D．What dieting may bring us.
23．（8分）Entrepreneur and CEO of Tesla and Space X, Eldon Musk may have a little more time on his hands, as he’s leaving his position on the board of the Open Al, according to a blog post.
The departure is likely the result of Tesla’s moving into the field of Artificial Intelligence(AI)，which he said in 2017 would be the “best in the world”and would even be able to “predict your destination, ”Musk will continue to “donate and advise the organization,” Open AI said in a blog post on Feb. 20, adding that “As Tesla continues to become more focused on AI, this will avoid a potential future conflict for Eldon.
Musk and Y Combiner CEO Sam Altman co founded the nonprofit enterprise in December2015, its mission is to develop safe artificial general intelligence and ensure those developments are made public. Open AI researchers published a paper on the site ArXiv, org, detailing the possible secure threats that come with“malicious”AI. In fact, Musk has heard the evil AI”alarm several times, On Aug.11，2017, he warned that artificial intelligence poses a bigger threat to humanity, and he told a gathering of state governors that the government needs to regulate Al before robots start “killing people. ”
Musk’s departure from the Open AI board could mean big things for Tesla. As Eton Goodbye, a financial reporter, noted on Futurism, the move “could signal that Tesla is more deeply committed to their own AI projects than we thought. ”He added, “Those who have had their ears to any rumors (谣言)that Tesla is ready to deliver vehicles capable of Level 5autonomy could take this new Open Al development as a sign that the company is inching closer to that unapproachable goal, ”No company has reached that level of autonomy, which means that a driverless car could navigate any road under any conditions and that all the human “driver” would need to do is to input a destination.
1、Why does Eldon Musk leave his position?
A．To create safer AI.
B．To build powerful Internet.
C．To develop social communication.
D．To avoid a possible conflict with Tesla.
2、What is the Eldon Musk’s attitude towards the AI?
A．Ambiguous.
B．Supportive.
C．Negative.
D．Sympathetic.
3、What does the underlined word “malicious” in Paragraph 3 mean?
A．Poisonous.
B．Unpopular.
C．Advanced.
D．Traditional.
4、What can we infer from Eton Goodbye’s comments?
A．Level 5 autonomy is impossible.
B．The rumors about Tesla is meaningless.
C．He has no confidence in Open AI.
D．Level 5 autonomy could set human drivers free.
24．（8分）Are you scared about moving up to senior high school? It can be a new experience, but you shouldn't worry. We've put together a guide on how to survive the first week.
You're not alone
Remember everybody_else_in_your_year_is_in_the_same_boat, you may not realize it, but they're just as nervous as you are. Moving to senior high school is an opportunity, not a problem. Things are different and all you need to do is be polite and learn the new rules.
Teachers are ready to help!
If you're unsure what to do or are worried about anything then you had better ask for help. Teachers are probably the best people to turn to as they're experienced in helping new students. Some senior high schools also have a “friends system”. If your school has this, then you will be paired with an older student. They will look out for you and help you if you have any problems or questions.
All change
There are lots of differences between junior high school and senior high school. You'll have a homework diary or a student planner. You will have your lessons with different teachers in different rooms. You will have homework for different subjects on different days, so make sure you get organized. Make sure you have a copy of your school timetable written down so you know which rooms your classes are in and on which days you will have your different subjects.
Other points
If you've got an older brother or sister at the school then ask them for advice.
Be yourself! It sounds simple, but people will know you much better if you just act naturally.
Having early nights makes a difference and you'll find it easier to get up in the morning!
1、What’s the closest meaning of the underlined sentence?
A．Other students have to learn boating with you
B．Other students will teach you politeness and new rules
C．Other students have similar feelings to yours
D．Other students will help you solve your problems
2、Why do the new students turn to teachers first when having problems?
A．Teachers are equal to every student
B．Teachers are good at helping solve problems
C．Parents are too busy to help them
D．Teachers won't blame them as parents do
3、Which of the following is NOT true?
A．You can act in a natural way
B．You should go to bed early enough
C．You may ask your older brother for advice
D．You must focus on dressing properly
