3．Since sugar is such a big part of the food we eat，people may wonder if some types of sugar are better for us than others.Let's look at some common sweeteners to find out.
White Sugar
White sugar is also called table sugar because it's often on tables at homes and restaurants.Because it goes through the most processing，it has the least nutritional value of all the sugars we consume.As it is being refined（提純），the sugar loses its minerals along with any natural color it had.During the refining process，thick，brown liquid known as molasses（糖漿）is produced.
Brown Sugar
Brown sugar is essentially white sugar with some of the molasses added back in.Although the molasses contains some nutrients，the amount added is not enough to be of much benefit to people.
Black Sugar
Some people believe black sugar，which originated in Okinawa，Japan，is more nutritious than brown sugar.With black sugar，sugarcane is boiled until it turns into a dark sauce，which is then cooled and formed into solid chunks.Thus，black sugar keeps its molasses content.
Honey
Honey is another common type of sweetener that people use，with many believing it is the healthiest option because it comes from bees and is therefore more natural.There is truth to that belief，but despite having more nutritional value，too much honey can still be harmful to one's health.The main point seems to be that people should control their intake of sugar as much as possible.
（1）Which type of sugar contains the least nutrition？
A．White Sugar.
B．Brown Sugar.
C．Black Sugar.
D．Honey.
（2）What makes honey a better choice？
A．Its natural color.
B．Its refining process.
C．Its source.
D．Its place of production.
（3）What is the purpose of the text？
A．To advertise different kinds of sugars.
B．To introduce the making process of sugar.
C．To persuade people to control sugar intake.
D．To recommend suitable sugars to people.組卷：1引用：1難度：0.5 -
4．Madison stared through the window and watched a puffy white cloud pass over the woods across from the school.It must be wonderful to be a bird，she thought.Total freedom.No math class to sit in；and her days would be spent on horseback.She thought of her horse，Star.
"Madison.Could you please join us again？" Mrs.Smith said. "I was just asking the class if anyone had any problems with the homework assignment."
"Well.I didn't have any problems doing it，but I had problems remembering to put it in my school bag after I did it." Some giggling spread through the room.
"Madison.I don't know what I am going to do with jye.ai.You're such a smart girl but you just don't apply yourself.Class，clear your desks.Our guest is here and welcome Doctor Landon.He is a veterinarian （獸醫(yī)）.He came here today as part of our continued Career Explorations Program."
Madison tried to focus as Doctor Landon talked about how important grades were and how he struggled with math when he was a kid.Doctor Landon was still talking but she lost track of what he was saying.Then a word caught her attention.Horse.Was he talking about horses？
Gradually，Madison knew Doctor Landon had come to her town and house when her horse，Star，needed care.She liked it that he even knew her horse's name. "So，you just travel around and take care of horses all day long？"
Doctor Landon nodded. "I travel with my truck to take care of horses and ponies across the county.It is a lot of work，but I love it."
Madison's mouth fell open.What a life that must be，she thought.At that moment，sitting in class，Madison could see her future and her life suddenly seemed bigger.By the time she got off the bus that afternoon，her plans for the afternoon had changed.She was still going to ride Star，but first she was going to spend an hour studying math.Then tomorrow she'd spend an hour studying science.
（1）Why was Madison called by Mrs.Smith in class？
A．Because she had problems with math.
B．Because she was absent-minded in class.
C．Because she was distracted by the birds outside.
D．Because she forgot to bring her homework back.
（2）Why was Doctor Landon invited to the class？
A．To call for care for animals.
B．To enrich students' outdoor activities.
C．To emphasize the importance of study.
D．To help students with their career choices.
（3）What can be inferred about Madison from the last paragraph？
A．She was greatly inspired.
B．She preferred math to science.
C．She didn't believe Landon's story.

C．Madison Dreams Big
D．Madison Pursues Freedom組卷：8引用：9難度：0.5 -
5．With nearly a quarter of global greenhouse gas coming from all types of transportation，can we keep ourselves off gas-powered vehicles to avoid the worst effects？As more governments push for urgent action on climate change，quite a few companies are betting their future - that millions of consumers are finally ready for electricity-powered vehicles.Modern battery-powered cars are selling fast and zero- emission（排放）planes are coming.These changes，both leading to a more sustainable future，are reinventing how we get from here to there.
Cars and trucks are undergoing their greatest improvement since the automobile's（汽車）existence more than a century ago.Almost overnight，the era of the electric car has arrived.Electricity has the advantage that it works without smell and with less noise.Global annual sales of electric vehicles are expected to soar from just over 3 million today to 14 million by 2025.Just a month after Ford unveiled an electric version of the popular F-150，customers had reserved more than 100，000 of jye.aim.The price is about ＄10，000 above the gas-powered one，but Ford says the electric model will cost much less to maintain.Everything creating a green revolution on the ground is of limited help in the sky for the time being.
High-storage batteries are useless at present when it comes to the technological challenge of launching a few hundred people into the sky and carrying them thousands of miles.No battery yet invented can power，say，a Boeing 747 from New York to London.Promising improvements，however，do add up.Developments with zero-emission，battery-powered electric engines are already happening in commercial flight，involving trips of limited duration and distance.Airlines specializing in short journeys with small planes will lead the way to electric flight.
Our planet's health depends on zeroing out carbon dioxide emissions by 2050，and yet，by the timetable needed to address the climate challenge，the shift away from gas-powered vehicles remains far too slow.Nevertheless，the train has left the station.Someday，electric-powered transportation will be as common as air.
（1）Why are many companies switching to electricity-powered vehicles？
A．To reinvent the way we travel.
B．To cut the costs of car production.
C．To improve the quality of products.
D．To pursue sustainable development.
（2）What do we know about the electric car？
A．It came into use a century ago.
B．It enjoys increasing popularity.
C．It sells better than the traditional one.
D．It costs less than the gas-powered one.
（3）What does the author intend to do in Paragraph 3？
A．To show the disadvantages of battery power.
B．To emphasize the significance of short flights.
C．To stress the future prospects of electric planes.
D．To state the developments of commercial flight.
（4）What does the author mean by saying "the train has left the station"？
A．Train transportation has improved.
B．Green transportation is on its way.
C．The electric train is running regularly.
D．The gas-powered train has become the past.組卷：16引用：12難度：0.5

6．The Power of 10 Minutes
How can we find ourselves with extra two hours？It probably comes in short little bursts of 5 to 10 minutes.Maybe you're early to your school. （1）Instead of jumping on social media，you can actually use those little breaks to do something productive.
Strengthen relationship
In college，you'll be eager to call your parents every single night.Besides，you know it's necessary to stay in touch with your friends.A phone call doesn't have to last an hour to get in some good conversation.A 5-minute's call is enough.An email is even quicker. （2）
Strengthen body
（3）Ora few stretches（伸展運(yùn)動）can give your back a break from desk and chair.A few minutes of exercise goes a long way.Why not make full use of the breaks between classes to get actively involved in exercise？Your body will thank you.
Refresh yourself
Sometimes we're so busy that our lives are in a mess，with piles of books on our desks，clothes everywhere on the floor at our dorms.We usually think it a waste of time cleaning up，therefore let them be. （4）And keep it up everyday，you'll be amazed to find your life organized and get yourself refreshed.
Be more productive
Want to be extra productive？ （5）You can write all of the tasks you'd like to complete that day，week，or month on the list.Keep it handy.The next time you find yourself with 10 extra minutes，you'll know exactly what you can work on.
A.But both make a difference.
B.Maybe you have 5 minutes for We chat.
C.Instead，begin with a 5-minute's tidying up.
D.A 10-minute's walk can get your blood flowing better.
E.Perhaps you even get stuck waiting for a bus for 10 minutes.
F.The next time you have minutes to spare，write out a to-do list.
G.Bending over the desk provides you with a short but useful rest.組卷：4引用：4難度：0.5

20．閱讀下面材料，根據(jù)其內(nèi)容和所給段落開頭語續(xù)寫兩段，使之構(gòu)成一篇完整的短文。
As a single mother，I've never doubted my daughter Jane's dream to be a singer on the stage.At an early age，she was crazy about singing.Whenever she had a chance，she would sing to her heart's content.Her sweet and charming voice tended to get people around attracted to her songs.
Living in a small city，I took several odd jobs，determined to do everything in my power to support her.Soon after Jane attended school，her music teacher Mary noticed her talent by chance and volunteered to give her some guidance on how to sing.Jane practiced so hard that before long she made great progress in singing.
Unfortunately，one noon a year later，Jane was crossing the street when a careless driver knocked her down.She was rushed to hospital.When I hurried there，the doctor told me that my daughter would probably not stand on her own feet.I froze with shock，feeling as if I had been thrown into a dark world.Weak and dizzy，I was about to fall to the ground when someone took hold of me.
It was Mary，who got the news and raced here.She comforted me，saying firmly， "Grace，Jane needs jye.ai.You must stay calm and strong." I nodded.Having calmed down，I entered the ward with Mary.
That night，Jane recovered her consciousness （知覺） and opened her eyes.Holding her hand，I said， "My dear，everything would be fine." Mary comforted her gently， "I know you are a strong girl，Jane.Don't worry.We'll be standing by you." I was heartbroken to see tears streaming down Jane's cheeks.
After two months，we returned home from hospital.Her teachers and friends frequently visited her.Jane eventually accepted the fact that she would have to get around in a wheelchair.Never did she refer to the subject of singing again.I knew she was a nice and understanding girl，who was afraid that talking about her original dream would upset the two of us.
注意：
1.續(xù)寫詞數(shù)應(yīng)為150左右；
2.請按如下格式在答題卡的相應(yīng)位置作答。One day，however，Mary came with good news._______________
When the host announced it was Jane's turn，she was wheeled onto the stage._______________組卷：18引用：8難度：0.4
