10、n FitnessOur Teen Fitness program will be available from July 4 to September 3 for youth aged 12 to 17 at all GoodLife Fitness clubs from coast to coast, across Canada.来源:学科网ZXXKParticipating teens will have full club access with the following exceptions: pool, Hot Yoga Studio, Tennis Court and Tann
11、ing Salon (日光浴沙龙).Weve all heard the news: Overweight teenagers are tipping the balance at an alarming rate. According to the Canada Health Measure Survey (2017): Over 26% of children and youth are overweight. 60% of Canadian youth do not get the required daily physical activity for their growth and
12、 development. 93% of children and youth are not meeting Canadas physical activity guidelines.Instead of a Teen Fitness membership card, this year our teens will have a regular membership card presented to them.“At GoodLife, we are devoted to helping all Canadians become fit and healthy and we know t
13、he importance of starting healthy habits at a young age,” said David Patchell-Evans, GoodLife founder and CEO.Pre-registration for 2019 will be available in June.General Teen Information: Free teen membership for ages 12 - 17 only. Membership term: July 4-September 3; all teen memberships come to an
14、 end by September 3, 2018. Parents or legal guardians must register for a Teen Member and provide proof of age.

17、tionC. be accompanied by his parents D. make the registration by himselfBA serious problem for todays society is who should be responsible for our elderly and how to improve their lives. It is not only a financial problem but also a question of the system we want for our society. I would like to sug
18、gest several possible solutions to this problem.First, employers should take the responsibility for their retired employees. To make this possible, a percentage of profits should be set aside for this purpose. But when a company must take life-long responsibility for its employees, it may suffer fro
19、m a commercial disadvantage due to higher employee costs.Another way of solving the problem is to return the responsibility to the individual. This means each person must save during his working years to pay for his years of retirement. This does not seem a very fair model since some people have eno
20、ugh trouble paying for their daily life without trying to earn extra to cover their retirement years. This means the government might have to step in to care for the poor.In addition, the government could take responsibility for the care of the elderly. This could be financed through government taxe
21、s to increase the level of pensions. Furthermore, some institutions should be created for senior citizens, which can help provide a comfortable life for them. Unfortunately, as the present situation in our country shows, this is not a truly viable answer. The government can seldom afford to care for
22、 the elderly, particularly when it is busy trying to care for the young.One further solution is that the government or social organizations establish some working places especially for the elderly where they are independent.To sum up, all these options have advantages and disadvantages. Therefore, i
23、t is reasonable to expect that some combination of these options may be needed to provide the care we hope to give to our elderly generations.24. What is the writers main purpose in writing this article?A. To discuss some possible solutions to an important social problem.B. To make general readers a
24、ware of the problems of retired people.C. To point out the need for government support for old people.D. To instruct retired people on how they can have a happier life.25. What does the underlined word “viable” most probably mean?A. Impossible. B. Practical. C. Useful. D. Successful.26. According to
25、 the passage, how can the government help to improve the lives of retired people?A. Set aside some profits to help people with problems after they retire.B. Increase savings levels of people during their working years.C. Increase the discounts for food and transport for the old.D. Make available pen
26、sions for those who have retired.27. What can be concluded from the passage?A. Taking care of the old is mainly an issue of money.B. Employers should allow their workers to retire at a later age.C. Becoming independent should be the goal of most old people.D. There is no single solution to the probl
27、ems of the old.CThe sea was quiet and the island did not look too far off, rising from the sea like a rocky loaf. But the grey small boats were low in the water.It was the first time I had seen the sea. The first time for everything travelling on a plane, in a train, leaving my parents, staying in a
28、 hotel and now going in a boat! Back in Aleppo I had hardly ever left our fifth-floor apartment. We had heard from those who had gone before that, on a fine summer day like this with a working motor, a small boat takes just over an hour to cross the strait. It was one of the shortest routes from Tur
29、key to Greece only eight miles. The problem was that the motors were often old and cheap and exhausted for power with loads of 50 or 60 people, so the trips took three or four hours. Here is a fact I dont think anyone should like. Did you know that 1 in every 113 people in the world today are refuge
30、es(难民)? Lots of them are escaping wars like the one that has destroyed our country, Syria. In 2015, more than 1.2 million came to Europe. I was one of them. I hate the word refugee more than any word in the English language. What it really means is a second-class citizen with a number scrawled(潦草地写)
31、 on your hand, who everyone wishes would somehow go away. The year 2015 was when I became a fact, a statistic, a number. Much as I like facts, we are not numbers, we are human beings and we all have stories. The day got hotter. Though the smuggler had arrived with boats for us and the other groups,
32、he said we couldnt go until the coastguard changed shift. As the afternoon came, the waves started to get higher, making a slapping sound on the shore. None of us wanted to go at night, as wed heard stories of pirates who board boats in the dark to steal motors and the valuables of refugees.For the
33、first time, I felt scared. Some call that crossing the route of death. It would either deliver us to Europe or swallow us up, so I began practising breathing deeply and telling myself over and over that I was strong.28.Where did the writer intend to go by boat?A. Aleppo B. Syria C. Turkey D. Greece2
34、9.Why did the writer make this journey?A. To visit his/ her relativesB. To escape from warsC. To break away from his/ her parentsD. To see the sea30.The writer hates the word “refugee” because _.A. the writer is looked down upon by the EuropeansB. the writer believes he/ she isnt a refugeeC. the wor
35、d “refugee” is hard to pronounceD. the word “refugee” will be scrawled on the hand31.What would be the best title for the story?A. Searching For the New LifeB. Crossing the Route of DeathC. Achieving My DreamD. Failing to Cross the StraitDMany people dont consider their breakfast without a glass of
36、milk. Right now, cows, buffalos, goats and sheep provide most of the worlds milk. But soon, people could get milk from roaches(蟑螂).That isnt as crazy as it might sound. New research shows this “milk” is super-nutritious. Whats more, some scientists have already begun referring to a lot of insects as
37、 source of milk.In 2004, Subramanian Ramaswamy started studying milk crystals found inside the roach. At the time, he was teaching biochemistry at the University of Iowa City.To learn more about the milk crystal from roaches, the scientists used X-rays to look at the atoms in it. The data basically
38、revealed the chemical recipe of the roach crystal. They showed that roach milk is a “complete food”. It contains sugar with a fatty acid stuck to it. Fatty acids are the building blocks of fats. The protein in the milk is also full of essential amino(氨基的) acids, which are the building blocks of prot
39、eins. Since our bodies cant produce the “essential” ones, we need to get them from our food. And so do baby roaches.Barbara Stay, a biologist at Iowa University, also worked on the new study. She says the new data show that the roach milk is “three times more nutritious than cows milk and four times
40、 more nutritious than buffalos milk”.Ramaswamy would like to see roach milk turned into a protein supplement to feed hungry people. But not everyone is confident that it can be done.Marcel Dicke studies insects as a potential source of human food at Wageningen University in the Netherlands. Dicke sa
41、ys this is a “sound study”. However, in his opinion, “Extracting(提取) milk from roaches can only likely be done in a destructive way with only small quantities”. That means youd have to raise and kill many bugs to get even tiny quantities of the milk.28. What is the opinion of the scientists about mi
42、lk in Paragraph 2?A. Many insects are sources of milk. B. Milk is an important part of breakfast.C. Milk from insects is the most nutritious. D. Milk from insects is well accepted now.29. What can we know about the use of roach milk in life?A. It will replace the milk from animals like cows.B. Scien
43、tists think it the key to solving world hunger.C. All people dont think it can be used in life soon.D. Most people depend on roach milk from protein.30. According to Marcel Dicke, extracting insect milk on a large scale is _.A. simple B. challenging C. safe D. necessary31. What should be the best ti

Roach milk will be widely used soon第二节（共5小题；每小题2分，满分10分）根据短文内容，从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。Are you as confident as youd like to be? Few people wou
45、ld answer yes. However, according to Becky Blalock, author and former Fortune 500 executive, anyone can learn to be more confident as its a skill we can teach ourselves.36 . In fact, research shows that being shy and cautious is the natural human state. Thats how people in early times lived to pass
46、on their genes, so its in our gene pool, she says. How do you teach yourself to be more confident? Heres Blalocks advice:Think positively. 37_.

59、式。On May 28th, we observe World Hunger Day. It is an effort to focus attention on 61 fact that despite there being enough food globally, some 21,000 people die every day from hunger.People do not go hungry because the world does not produce enough food for everyone. According to the world Hunger Edu
60、cation Service, recently the percentage of people _62_ cannot get enough food chronically（长期地）has reduced from 34% to 15%. The main problem is that many people in the world still do not have resources 63 (purchase) or grow enough food.Indeed, hunger 64 (be) a result of poverty, and also one of its c
