11. Which is considered as a better way to lose weight according to the passage?
A. Less breakfast and more dinner. B. Big breakfast and small dinner.
C. Keeping blood sugar levels steady. D. Saving calories for dinner.
12. How many adults were involved in the study in 2017?

13. What if a person always likes to eat a low-calorie breakfast?
A. He wants to eat something sweet. B. He wants to eat more at lunch.
C. He will soon lose weight. D. He will lose a lot of energy.
【答案】11. B 12. D 13. A
【解析】
【原文】Now here is the report from the researchers at a university in Germany. They said eating a big breakfast could help you burn much more calories than if you eat a larger meal at dinner. It could be the key to losing weight while also keeping blood sugar levels steady the researchers said. It was shown to be twice as high for those who ate more at breakfast than at dinner. On the other hand, a low-calorie breakfast increases appetite, especially for sweets, they admitted. The following words are from the interview with Dr. Richter, an expert at the university. He said the findings published in a journal were based on a laboratory experiment of 16 men. They consumed a low and high calorie breakfast and dinner one day—and then vice versa on another. The results also showed eating a low-calorie breakfast caused sweet desires with a higher appetite. This suggests those saving all their calories for the end of the day may face consequences because they snack more. This finding is significant for all the people as it underlines the value of eating enough at breakfast. The study adds to increasing evidence that the best way of losing weight is to eat your largest meal in the morning—and your smallest in the evening. As Dr Richter indicates, “Eating more at breakfast instead of dinner could prevent being fat and high blood sugar.” He also recommended that fat patients as well as healthy people should eat a large breakfast rather than a large dinner to reduce body weight. A 2017 study of 60,000 adults found that eating a big breakfast, medium lunch and small dinner led to lower body mass indexes.

14. What can we learn from the passage?

B. Middle school students in Wales are starting to learn Chinese.
C. Morgan wanted to sell Wales to Germany.
D. The Welsh government turned Wales into a destination for tourists.

C. Creative industries. D. Global education.
16. What is the passage mainly about?
A. Specific measures to perfect Wales’s international image.
B. Wales’ policies on economics and education.
C. Advice on minority language development.
D. The Welsh government’s relation with EU.
【答案】14. B 15. D 16. A
【解析】
【原文】Mandarin, the official language for China, could be taught in Welsh secondary schools in order to raise Wales’ international image. The Welsh Government wants to establish the country as a visitor destination for Chinese people as part of its new strategy to improve trade. It is also looking to have a “Wales in Germany” themed year in 2021, and have an increased presence in EU countries. International relations minister Morgan said she wanted to sell Wales to the world. Welsh businesses sold more than 17 billion pounds of goods abroad in 2018 and at present 60% of those exports go to the EU, with Germany as the top destination. But after Britain left the European Union, ministers want “to ensure that the European Union remains our strongest partner” as well as developing markets elsewhere. Its goal is a 5% increase in exports. To make that happen, the Welsh Government has launched a new international strategy to focus on three areas—cyber-security, semi-conductors, and creative industries, because of their global recognition as areas of excellence. In its report, it also listed a number of ideas, including: raising Wales’ image by exploring the feasibility of teaching Mandarin in secondary schools; working with education institutions to increase the number of international students studying in Wales; holding a “Wales in Germany” themed year in 2021; working with existing networks to build a global social network of 500,000 people. Ms Morgan said she was anxious to change the Welsh Government’s relationship with the UK government to help sell Wales abroad.

【原文】A: Hi, John, back to work? I was curious about the trip you’ve taken. Have you ever taken a really, really wonderful trip?
B: Yeah. I’ve been on a lot of great trips, but I didn’t know that trips could be so great until I went with my kids.
A: Really? It went well?
B: Oh yeah. It went very well. It’s more fun, I think, to take a trip with kids.
A: Wow. Sounds great! Where did you go?
B: Thailand. My first trip with a kid was with my daughter to Thailand. We went to ride elephants going here and there in Chiang Mai.
A: But the last time my husband and I took the kids to Thailand, we had a lot of trouble. Did you worry about anything?
B: No, because of having kids with us. And I wonder what would have been different if I didn’t have kids.
A: What makes you think that?
B: You know you can use your time better because kids are definitely going to wake up early. So you can’t waste the morning.
A: You said you went to ride elephants. With your daughter?
B: Yes, I was nervous about it at first. I thought, maybe it would be too dangerous, but we had very good guides to help us. And the trainers were right there with us together, from the start to the end. So there was never any risk.
A: But, a lot of people are against riding elephants, do you know?
B: Yes, so we’ve decided it will never happen again.
A: Was there anywhere that you wanted to go but you decided not?
B: Maybe an amusement park, but when the kids are older, you can. And also, going out to a dance club late at night.
A So do you have more kids now?
B: Yes. Now, I have a daughter and a son.
A: Is it hard to travel with two kids?
B: Oh, it’s a little harder than traveling with one kid but it’s not twice as hard.
A: Why?
B: You find that lots of people want to help you. So if you have too many bags, for example, someone will help you carry your bags.
A: Well, it seems that you had a great time traveling with your kids.
B: Oh yeah. I want to go on more trips with my kids, like Burma, Vietnam and Cambodia. I can’t wait for our next vacation. By the way, when traveling, electronics are a must.
A: Thank you. Nice talking with you.
