6、Goodbye to SugarIt is the end of October. Social media is filled with pictures of people (31) _ promised to give up sugar at the beginning of the month, only to fail. Why is sugar so powerful, and how can we beat it? Many sugar cravings (渴求) arise from a blood sugar imbalance (32) _ body takes in su
7、gar, your blood sugar quickly increases and your body releases insulin(胰岛素) to lower it to a safer level. If the insulin brings your blood sugar level a bit too low, as often happens, your body longs for foods that will raise it and increase your energy. You are on a blood sugar roller coaster (过山车)
8、 that is hard to get off.The key to balancing blood sugar is to eat foods that prevent too much insulin from (33) _ (release). Healthy fats and protein, for example, provide slow and continuous forms of energy. They are more like a flat, newly paved road rather than that roller coaster. Eating plent
9、y of healthy fats, say nuts, avocados and olive oil, can help your body adjust to getting its energy elsewhere. (34) _ protein can help you is to make you feel satisfied and reduce hunger. And many of the amino acids (氨基酸) in protein help build the brain chemicals that make us feel good. When we fee
10、l balanced and energized, we are (35) _ (likely) to seek a sugar high.Some sugar cravings come from your brain as a result of lifestyle. Stress causes glucose to be released by your liver, which in turn raises your blood sugar level. Therefore, being constantly stressed is like begging for trouble.
11、Furthermore, poor sleep (36) _ also result in overeating, as you seek energy to relieve your tiredness. Sometimes we experience cravings that are nothing but (37) _ habit. Perhaps you watched your parents overeat throughout your childhood. Now you do the same, eating pie, for example, even when you
12、are not hungry at all. Or you may have spent years reaching for chocolate or ice cream (38) _ (reduce) sadness.Hold on tight if you want to eventually get off this bumpy ride. Sugar has been shown to have an effect on the brain similar to (39) _ of an addictive drug. The cravings will likely remain
13、for at least the first week. After that, some of the negative habits (40) _(disappear) gradually. Hopefully, you can take off your seat belt and enjoy a smoother ride.Section B Directions：After reading the passage and the sentences below，fill in each blank with a proper word given in the box.

And then the next morning when you wake up your mind is better prepared to act on that information. But what about getting rest during the middle of the day？Short 52. _ of s
20、leep may help our brains work better，or so says a recent study on napping. Taking a nap may also help this group of people fight off 53. _memory loss. Many Americans do nap. But one-third of all adults in the United States are also chronically tired，notes the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Pre
21、vention (CDC). It found that 50 million to 70 million Americans have chronic sleep 54. _.So，someone who naps as a way of paying off a sleep debt may not 55. _ the same improvements from napping as a healthy，well-rested person would.

Reading ComprehensionSection ADirections: For each blank in the following passage there are four words or phrases marked A, B, C
25、and D. Fill in each blank with the word or phrase that best fits the context.Too much eye contact is instinctively felt to be rude, and in a business context, it may also be regarded as a purposeful intention to make “ the other” feel at a disadvantage. So unless you have in mind doing one of those
26、things, its better to 61. _too much eye contact.Too little, 62. _, can make you appear uneasy, unprepared, and insincere. In its analysis of patients, 63. _, for example, one large county hospital found, that 9-out-of-10 letters included mention of poor doctor-patient eye contact, a failure which wa
27、s generally interpreted as “ 64. _of caring.”“Just the right” amount of eye contact-the amount that produces a feeling of mutual 65. _and trustworthiness-will vary with situations, settings, personality types, gender and cultural differences. As a general rule, though, direct eye contact ranging fro
28、m 30% to 60% of the time during a conversation-more when you are listening, less when you are speaking-should make for a 66. _ productive atmosphere. And did you know these other facts about eye contact？ We reduce eye contact when we are talking about something shameful or 67. _, when we are sad or
29、depressed，and when we are accessing internal thoughts or emotions. We increase eye contact when dealing with people we like, 68. _ , or who have power over us. In more 69. _conversations we naturally look at each other more often and hold that gaze for longer periods of time. In fact, we 70. _relati

We avoid eye contact in elevators, subways, crowded buses or trains-in elevators we face the door, in the others we stare at our smartphones-because it helps us 71. _the insecurity of having our
31、personal space invaded. The biggest body language myth（错误观念）about liars is that they avoid eye contact. While some liars (most often, children) find it difficult to lie while looking directly at you，many liars actually try to “ 72. _” that they are not lying by making too much eye contact and holdin
32、g it too long. Eye contact is so powerful a force because it is connected with humans earliest 73. _patterns. Children who could attract and maintain eye contact, and therefore increase attention, had the best chance of being fed and cared for. Today, newborns 74. _lock eyes with their caregivers, a
33、nd the power of that infantile eye contact still has its impact on the adult mind. Whether its shifty-eyed guilt or wide-eyed innocence, we automatically assign enormous 75. _to the signals we give and get when we look into each other in the eyes.61.

40、ary. com. The program had been opened up to partners who could take advantage of book and postage discounts.The quality of the books was of great concern to the Richters.

54、m. The general public is not very good at sorting rubbish. Households and businesses serviced by municipal waste-management providers may actually have got worse at sorting in the past 20 years, says Peter Keller of Republic Services, Americas second-biggest waste management firm, which runs Newby I
55、sland in San Jose.Citizens of rich countries, where almost 100% of municipal waste gets collected, take such services for granted - unless the collectors go on strike (罢工),as happened in the Belgian city of Ghent in early August, leaving streets in a stink (恶臭) for days. In some industrialized natio
56、ns, increasingly, residents are charged based on volume (known as pay-as-you-throw) To encourage sorting, such schemes often exempt recyclables.The volume of recyclables has reached 1,400 tons a day, a lot by American standards, says Mr. Keller. That should come as no surprise. After all, inhabitant
57、s of the San Francisco Bay area pride themselves on their recycling ability. San Francisco boasts a recycling rate of 80% one of the highest of any rich-world city. San Franciscans may therefore be shocked to learn that a lot of them, as Mr. Keller puts it, “arent very good at itTwo possible reasons
58、 account for Mr. Kellers remarks. The first is that many people do not know what is recyclable. Beer bottles and soft-drink cans are, he says. Egg cartons and magazines are not, for there is not market for the materials of which they are made. Some things are recyclable on their own, but not when co
59、mbined, such as paper cups lined with plastic film. It is hard to blame consumers for feeling increasingly puzzled, he admitsThe other problem is that residents only have to separate recyclables from non-recyclables Cans, bottles and papers are all thrown into one bin. This mix can, to some degree,
60、be sorted at plants like Newby, enabled by clever technology which uses optical sensor;(光电感应器) and magnets to separate materials automatically. Anyway, these was no match for humans when it came to sorting.As the volume of recyclables increased in America and Europe, the quality of recycled output d
61、ecreased because everything was mixed in together. This did not trouble materials. recovery facilities (MRF) operators so long as they would offload their increasingly impure stock abroad. Then China announced it would not accept any plastics or carboard, and American waste-management companies have
62、 been struggling to find what to do with their poor-quality waste.83. According to the passage, the biggest problem in rich countries caused by lack of professional waste-pickers is that_. A. waste collectors often go on strike regardless of peoples needs B.no one teaches people how to tell apart re
63、cyclable and non-recyclables C. waste sorting by machine is far from perfect so far D. citizens fail to deal with waste sorting properly84. Which of the following best defines the word *exempt(Paragraph 2)? A. make no charge for B. set aside C. fully expect D. set the standard for 85. What can be in
64、ferred from Mr. Kellers comments on San Franciscans recycling ability? A. More advanced waste sorting machines will be launched (推出) as soon as possible. B. San Franciscans are not informed that there is no need to recycle egg cartons. C. Recycling ability is not all about separating recyclables fro
65、m non-recyclables D. Its hard for San Franciscans to change their recycling habits in the new times86. The paragraph that follows the passage will be probably about_. A. the reason why MFR is not worried about poor-quality waste B. Chinas new policy to keep foreign rubbish out C. efforts to teach re
66、sidents how better to sort their rubbish D. the components (成分) of the mixed waste in AmericaSection CDirections: Complete the following passage by using the sentences given below. Each sentence can be used only once. Note that there are two more sentences than you need.A. The bears death should nev
67、er have happened.B. The reality, however, is considerably more complex. C. Simply closing off these regions is not the answer. D. Should we be in these environments at all?E. Visitors often become ambassadors (大使) for the endangered polar bear. F. This can be by making financial decisions to conserv
68、ation groups.The images were shocking, and the reaction was completely predictable. The sight of a polar bear lying hurt on a beach - blood matting the fur of its neck, with one huge paw folded under its body - received immediate criticism globally: By the shore in the background stand a group of gu
69、ides, talking to each other. One of them had a gun hanging casually on his shoulder. This is not something that is taken lightly. 87 .This powerful image raises questions about the motivations (动机) of this kind of tourism or ecotourism. 88 . Are there regions in the world where nature should be left
70、 completely untouched? Has our access to large animals in the wild, often driven by a desire for sensational images, led these animals to become accustomed to human contact? If so, the loser would surely pay a heavy price for such an approach.Before we answer these questions, we would consider the e
71、vents that are of global concern. For me, I was definitely shocked. I have recently returned from a trip to Svalbard, and indeed stood two weeks ago on the very beach where the bear was shot. 89 . Was the beach examined from the ship offshore beforehand? Was there access to flares (信号弹) to scare off
72、 a bear that appeared suddenly? These are standard measures for a respectable operator, and the accident could be the result of a system failure.However, images and events should not be used to criticize the concept of ecotourism. Ecotourism is an expanding market that brings benefits as well as cha
73、llenges to the regions around the world in which it operates. 90 . The key is responsibility and research before booking. If ecotourism is done properly, the benefits are immediate and lasting.V.
