You try to busy yourself to make it go away. But it doesn’t. Here is another situation. Perhaps yo u are not feeling well. The only thing you want to eat is a big bowl of chicken soup, like your mom used to make when youwere sick as a child. Food cravings are a strong desire for a specific type of food. And they are normal.Scientists at the website How Stuff Works compare hunger and cravings this way. Hunger is a fairly simple connection between the stomach and the brain. They even call it simply “stomach hunger.” When our stomachs burn up all of the food we have eaten, a hormone (荷尔蒙) sends a message to one part of the brain for more food, which regulates our most basic body functions such as thirst, hunger and sleep. The brain then produces a chemical to start the appetite and you eat. Hunger is a function of survival.A craving is more complex. It activates (使活跃) brain areas related to emotion, memory and reward. These are the same areas of the brain activated during drug-craving studies. So, some scientists call food cravings “mind hunger.” People often crave foods that are high in fat and sugar. Foods that are high in fat or high in sugar produce chemicals in the brain. These chemicals give us feelings of pleasure.In a 2007 study, researchers at Cambridge University found that “dieting or restricted eating generally increases the possibility of food craving.” So, the more you deny yourself a food that you want, the more you may crave it. However, fasting is a bit different. They found that eating no food at all for a short period of time lessened food cravings.So, the next time you crave something very specific, know that your brain may be more to blame than your stomach.1、What is the function of the first paragraph?A．To remind readers of their own special food.B．To deepen the understanding of hunger.C．To report the discovery of craving study.D．To lead to the topic of the whole passage.2、What do we learn about food craving?A．It shows food is linked to feelings.B．It ensures a person survives hunger.C．It means the stomach functions well.D．It proves the brain decides your appetite.3、What’s the likely result of dieting?A．The decrease of chemicals. B．The increase of food desire.C．The refusal of fat and sugar. D．The disappearance of appetite.4、What does the passage mainly discuss?A．The functions of brain areas. B．What hunger is all about.C．The findings of food craving. D．What dieting may bring us.23．（8分）The weather.It’s always a talking-point in Britain.Why is that?Is it something strange about British people?Well it's nice to think that a lot of British people are eccentric（古怪）,I mean,the place is famous for it. But really,it's the weather that's the point of note.The UK has some of the most interesting weather in the world."Britain does not have a CLIMATE.It just has WEATHERIn hot countries most of the indoor places that need to be comfortable are air-conditioned,and in cold countries most of the places that need to be comfortable are properly heated.The UK is the exception,since the weather is often interesting and no one really takes heat and cold seriously.So although the weather can be very cold,very hot,very wet,or just wildly confused,it always takes people by surprise.When it gets to winter and there is actually some SNOW,it always takes the people by surprise.It is frontpage news,and even a few inches of snow brings the country to a standstill.But then,what happens next is even more surprising and catches the folk off guard completely.And who could possibly have predicted it?!IT MELTS!Flooding!What a surprise!Then in the summer,it gets very hot.If it had been Thailand or Australia,there'd be no problem.It is supposed to be hot,so,there is air conditioning.But in the UK,just total confusion at the sudden hot weather.Shock,health problems,and despite the fact that the country is considered to be where it always rains,summertime brings drought! But do people have cisterns（水箱）and reserve water tanks?Wouldn’t it make sense for people to store rainwater in case of drought?Of course it would,but it is a dependency-culture where people have been trained to be dependent on the state,which then means that in emergency people are stuck!Why is the British weather so strange?It is something to do with the combination of an almost Arctic latitude（纬度）combined with being an island and having the Gulf Stream bringing warm weather from the tropics.Helpful people in the know on geographical meteorology（气象学）have commented that the general situation with the UK weather is even more complex,as many different things contribute to the changeable weather.As well as the North Atlantic drift,there is the fact that the UK is affected by the following major air masses: the tropical maritime（海的）Gulf Stream,the Polar Maritime air from the North,the Arctic Maritime,the Polar Continental,and the Tropical Continental.There's also fast flowing air in Jet streams.Air goes around in convection currents in Hadley cells and in Ferrel Cells.Because the British Isles can get weather coming from hot or cold zones,and from land or sea,a changeable hot/cold wet/dry weather is found.1、What is the British attitude toward heat and cold?A．Serious. B．Indifferent. C．Positive. D．Careful.2、How do the British feel when they see snow in winter?A．Excited. B．Frightened. C．Amazed. D．Disappointed.3、What happens when the British meet a drought in summer?A．They have got well-prepared. B．They get water from the river.C．They always help each other. D．They maybe fall into trouble.4、What is the passage mainly about?A．Why weather interests the British. B．Englishmen's attitude to weather.C．Weather in the United Kingdom. D．What affects the weather in the UK.24．（8分）Jason, our son, was born with cerebral palsy. My wife Margaret and I often comforted him as he faced many challenges in his early years.It was heartbreaking to see him regularly chosen last for breakfast, but he was a happy child and well liked by his peers throughout elementary school. His most difficult time came when he began high school. One afternoon, Jason returned home in tears. He threw his bag on the floor and shouted: “I’m never going to school again!” He was covered with food that other kids had thrown at him on the school bus on the way home. Jason later told us what had happened.A few days earlier, Jason had signed up for the school running team. That day, a few older students made fun of his performance on the track and made him the target of their one-sided food fight. I called the principal about the humiliation on the bus, and it never happened again. Jason stayed on the team, even though the harassment（骚扰）continued.One day in October, we had snow and freezing rain. As the other kids exercised in the gym, they noticed one long runner-Jason-jogging around the snow-covered track.A few weeks later, Jason had something to tell us. "Mom, Dad, sit down," he said. I was ready for the worst. He told us that each month, students chose an “athlete of the month''. The coach would list the top athletes, and students voted for the winner. Jason's name had never been listed. But that day, one of the nominees said: "Sir, I would like to nominate Jason for athlete of the month." The coach looked surprised. "He works harder than any of us, Sir," the student continued. “We will have to have someone second the nomination," the coach replied.A tear formed in Jason’s eye as he told us what happened next. "Mom… Dad…everyone in the class put their hands up." His mother and I, also in tears, looked on as he proudly displayed his certificate.Whenever I despair, I think of this story.I remind myself that challenges are not overcome by force, but by patience, determination, and faith.1、Jason's first days at high school didn't go well because .A．he missed his friends from primary schoolB．he was turned down by the school's running teamC．he was suffering from the aftereffects of cerebral palsyD．he was treated badly by some older students2、Which of the following could replace the underlined word “humiliation” in Paragraph 3?A．defense B．shadow C．abuse D．panic3、It can be concluded from the article that .A．the coach didn’t believe Ja son was worthy of the nominationB．Jason’s effects were widely recognized by his fellow studentsC．It didn’t take long for Jason to be the best runner in the schoolD．the “athlete of the month" award was usually given to the best performer25．（10分）Here are some apps that may be helpful to you.
