A

Everyone knows that eating too much junk food is not good to our health. Yet, what is it about junk food that is so completely irresistible(无可抗拒的)? For one thing, it’s everywhere. From chips in fast food restaurants

to candy in supermarkets, junk food always seems available. Thankfully, science is now providing new clues to help us reduce snacking.

Make friends with dainty(讲究的) eaters.

Studies have found that people tend to increase or reduce the amount of food they eat depending on what their companions are taking in.

See happy movies and always get the smaller bag of popcorn(爆米花).

According to some experts, people eat up to 29% more popcorn if they are watching a sad or serious movie, compared to when they are watching a comedy. Viewers consumed almost 200 calories more when snacking from a large bucket, as opposed to when given a medium-sized container.

Eat breakfast.

Nutritionists have gone back and forth（来来回回）about the question of how much to eat in the morning, but new studies suggest that consuming a good breakfast is a must. Surveys on long-term weight-loss show that two key factors in keeping weight down are eating breakfast and exercising.

Divide your food and conquer overeating.

Any kind of dividing your food into portions slows down your eating. Any kind of marker makes you aware of what you’re eating and of portion size. Researchers advise reallocating（再分配）snack foods into small plastic bags. It sounds simplistic, but it works.

21. Why do people eat too much junk food though it is bad for our health?

A. It’s delicious from chips to candy.

B. It’s easily taken everywhere.

C. Because it’s available here and there.

D. It’s easily bought in fast food restaurants.

22. Which of the following is TRUE according to the passage?

A. People are likely to eat more food when staying with friends.

B. If people are watching a tragedy(悲剧), they eat up to 29% more popcorn.

C. Nutritionists have the same opinion about how much to eat in the morning.

D. People prefer to snack from a large bucket.

23. What will he or she do if he or she wants to lose weight?

A. To eat nothing in the morning.

B. To get up early and to go to bed late.

C. To snack from a medium-size bucket

D. To eat breakfast and exercise.

B

Can you believe your eyes? A recent experiment suggests that the answer to that question may depend on your age.

Martin Doherty, a psychologist at the University of Stirling in Scotland, led the team of scientists. In this experiment, Doherty and his team tested the perception(观察力) of some people, using pictures of some orange circles. The researchers showed the same pictures to two groups of people. The first group included 151 children aged 4 to 10, and the second group included 24 adults aged 18 to 25.

The first group of pictures showed two circles alone on a white background. One of the circles was larger than the other, and these people were asked to identify the larger one. Four-year-olds identified the correct circle 79 percent of the time. Adults identified the correct circle 95 percent of the time.

Next, both groups were shown a picture where the orange circles, again of different sizes, were surrounded by gray circles. Here's where the trick lies in. In some of the pictures, the smaller orange circle was surrounded by even smaller gray circles —making the orange circle appear larger than the other orange circle, which was the real larger one. And the larger orange circle was surrounded by even bigger gray circles—so it appeared to be smaller than the real smaller orange circle.

When young children aged 4 to 6 looked at these tricky pictures, they weren't fooled—they were still able to find the bigger circle with roughly the same accuracy（精确度）as before. Older children and adults, on the other hand, did not do as well. Older children often identified the smaller circle as the larger one, and adults got it wrong most of the time.

As children get older, Doherty said, their brains may develop the ability to identify visual（视觉）context （环境、背景）. In other words, they will begin to process the whole picture at once: the tricky gray circles, as well as the orange circle in the middle. As a result, they're more likely to fall for this kind of visual trick.

24. Why are younger children not fooled?_____________.

A. Because they are smarter than older children and adults

B. Because older people are more foolish.

C. Because people's eyes become weaker as they grow older.

D. Because their brain can hardly notice related things together.

25. Doherty and his team of scientists did an experiment to evaluate_____________.

A. children's and adults' eye-sight

B. children's and adults' hobby

C. people's ability to see accurately

D. the influence of people's age

26. When asked to find the larger circle,_____________.

A. children at 6 got it wrong 79 % of the time with no gray ones around

B. children at 4 to 6 got it right about 79 % of the time with gray ones around

C. only adults over 18 got it right 95% of the time with gray ones around

D. adults got it right most of the time with gray ones around

27. According to the passage, we can know that_____________.

A. a smaller orange circle appears bigger on a white background

B. a circle surrounded by bigger ones looks smaller than its real size

C. a circle surrounded by other circles looks bigger than its real size

D. an orange circle appears bigger than a gray one of the same size

C

If you have a chance to go to Finland, you will probably be surprised to find how “foolish” the Finnish peo ple are.

Take the taxi drivers for example. Taxis in Finland are mostly high-class Benz with a fare of two US dollars a kilometer. You can go anywhere in one, tell the driver to drop you at any place, say that you have some business to attend to(料理), and then walk off without paying your fare. The driver would not show the least sign of anxiety.

The dining rooms in all big hotels not only serve their guests, but also serve outside diners. Hotel guests have their meals free, so they naturally go to the free dining rooms to have their meals. The most they would do to show their good faith is to wave their registration card(住宿登记卡) to the waiter. With such a loose check, you can easily use any old registration card to take a couple of friends to dine free of charge.

The Finnish workers are paid by the hour. They are very much on their own as soon as they have agreed with the boss on the rate(价钱). From then on, they just say how many hours they have worked and they will be paid accordingly(相应地).

With so many loopholes(漏洞) in everyday life, surely Finland must be a heaven to those who love to take “petty advantages”. But the strange thing is, all the taxi passengers would always come back to pay their fare after they have attended to their business; not a single outsider has ever been found in the free hotel dining rooms. And workers always give an honest account of the exact hours they put in. As the Finns always act on good faith in everything they do, living in such a society has turned everyone into a real “gentleman”.

In a society of such high moral（道德）practice, what need is there for people to be on guard against others?

28. While taking a taxi in Finland, _____.

A. a passenger can go anywhere without having to pay the driver

B. a passenger pays two US dollars for a taxi ride

C. a passenger can never be refused by the taxi driver wherever he wants to go

D. a passenger needs to provide good faith demonstration (证明) before leaving without paying

29. We know from the passage that big hotels in Finland ________.

A. are mostly poorly managed

B. provide meals for any diners

C. provide free wine and charge for food

D. provide meal for only those who live in the hotels

30. Which of the following is NOT true according to the passage?

A. The workers in Finland are paid by the hour.

B. The workers are always honest with their working hours.

C. The workers and their bosses will make an agreement in advance about the pay.

D. The bosses in Finland are too busy to check the working hours of their employees.

31. The word “those” in the last but one paragraph probably refers to _____.

A. people who are dishonest

B. people who often have meals in big hotels

C. people who often take taxis

D. people who are worthy of trust

D

Beijing and Washington must read each other's strategic intentions correctly, and have "less estrangement（隔阂)）and suspicion in order to forestall预先阻止）misunderstanding and miscalculation," said Chinese President Xi Jinping Tuesday night in his first major policy speech on China-US ties since he arrived in the US early Tuesday. Xi called for more understanding and trust between the US and China, prior 先to his formal talks with President Barack Obama at the White House on Friday. "China is ready to set up a high-level joint-dialogue mechanism（机制）with the United States on fighting cybercrimes（网络犯罪）," he said, adding that the Chinese government was a firm defender of cybersecurity（网络安全）while also being a victim of cybercrime. The world's two largest economies "should strictly base our judgment on fact, lest（以免）we become victims to hearsay传闻, paranoia夸大, or self-imposed bias自我的偏见".Xi made his remarks（评论）in a 40-minute speech, the only public speech during his US visit, at a dinner attended by more than 750 business leaders and other dignitaries高官, including former secretary of State Henry Kissinger. It was sponsored by the National Committee on United States-China Relations and the US-China Business Council. In addition to cybersecurity, Xi raised other issues of concern to some in the US audience, including China's stock market and investment. Xi said that the government had taken necessary steps to stabilize(使、、、安定) the stock market after recent turbulence triggered动荡引发wide concern. China's central bank adjusted its currency exchange rate according to market supply and demand in August, which the president said has achieved "initial success" in correcting the currency rate deviation偏差. Xi also reiterated 反复China's opposition to cyber theft, amid high tensions between the two countries because the US has blamed several cyber attacks on China recently.

"China is a strong defender of cybersecurity. It is also a victim of hacking（黑客）," Xi said. "The Chinese government will not, in whatever form, engage in commercial thefts or encourage or support such attempts by anyone. Both commercial cyber theft and hacking against government networks are crimes that must be punished in accordance with the law and relevant international treaties（条约）."

Xi also shared the story of his hard and starving youth in a remote village to illustrate（说明）what a Chinese dream means for ordinary Chinese people. Xi arrived at Seattle early Tuesday morning with his wife Peng Liyuan, and was warmly welcomed by Washington state business leaders and officials. US Secretary of Commerce Penny Pritzker said that while this week many significant deals will be announced during Xi's visit, it

exemplifies（例证）US companies' commitment to support China's development both with capital（资本）and world-class technology. Kissinger, who played a major role with opening relations between China and the United States in the 1970's, said Xi's state visit is an important step in lifting the two countries' relationship from the day to day solving of problems to the creating of a new world order. Xi will take part in a round-table discussion with Chinese and American executives（行政主管）, visit Boeing and Microsoft offices and a local high school before flying to Washington on Thursday morning.
