Note that there is one wordResearchers say American children now eat an average of three snacks a day between meals. A study found that those snacks add up to almost one third of all the daily calories eaten by children. And those extra calories could help 【小题1】 the rise in overweight children in the United States.The study was done at the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill. The researchers studied the diets of thirty-one thousandchildren ages two to eighteen over a thirty-year period. They found that snacking has increased since the nineteen seventies. And what kinds of snacks have increased the most? Salty, high-fat foods like chips. The study also found greater snacking on cake, cookies and other treats that past 【小题2】 might have saved for after dinner.The study is in the journal Health Affairs. Nutrition professor Barry Popkin was one of the lead 【小题3】. He says parents should 【小题4】 snacks to one a day for children age six and older. Healso advises parents and 【小题5】 to provide healthy snacks like fruits and vegetables.Professor Popkin says American schools also need to improve their nutrition. For example, schools may have vending machines (自动售贩机)that offer what many people would consider junk food. There has been a(n) 【小题6】 for schools to offer more healthful snacks and lunch choices and fewer sugary drinks.Earlier this month Coca-cola said it would stop selling sugary drinks in American schools unless parents 【小题7】 them.

A recent survey in the United States showed that the average family spent more money on its pets than on its children. Although rather shocking, it should not _______ anyone who has seen the doggy parlors(客厅) where loved pets rest. It is possible that: Americans are unique in treating their little friends in this way, but the information we have suggests that the English, too, are_______ to their pets.This can clearly be seen when we look at pet foods, which often contain more vitamins than human food or at least, are _______ less nutrition. They certainly cost much. Last year the British public spent two hundred million pounds on pet food alone, _______veterinary(兽医的) bills or animal furniture. It is difficult not to feel _______ with this when considering what the same amount could do for victims of starvation and poverty, so it is _______ for me to get hot under collar when I read an old man left all his money to his dog instead of his children.There are a variety of reasons why I find the popularity ofBritish pets _______. They cause physical problems. An example of this is New York where they have great difficulty getting rid of the mess that dogs leave on the streets. Many people find this funny, but in a number of large cities it is a major problem. Animals can causedisease, too. It is the threat of rabies —a disease with no known cure —that has made the English government impose strict _______ on animals coming into the United Kingdom. When the Spanish government recently _______ a number of stray dogs as protection against the same threat, English tourists immediately wrote letters to the newspapers ________about 'mass murder'.Another problem is the ________ of pet owners. Most littlechildren want a dog or a cat, and they continually push their mothers and fathers until they get one. It is only when the "sweet little thing" has been brought home that the parents realize how much time and money must be spent on "Rover" or "Bonzo". Then they just________ it. This brings me to my last point. Pets, which run free, are often not ________ at all. English farmers lose hundreds of sheep a year, killed by someone’s pet and you must have read of children being hurt by some pets of their own.________, I would only suggest that we have got our ________ wrong and that something should be done about it.

However, her parents, Steve and Deborah Perkins, ofMcKinney,Texas, haven't caught on. Even Kayla admits that, at the worst, her room is a mess.Most families at some point have at least one child whose room looks like a landfill (垃堆) .The mess can disturb the whole household. Dirty clothes pile up; dirty dishes get lost in the mess and smell bad; homework is lost; and valuable things are ruined.Some parents let it go, believing that a bedroom is private space for children to manage as they wish. Others lecture their children, offer rewards for cleaning, or punish them when they don't. What doesn't work, parenting experts say, is constant lectures, verbal (口头的，言语的) threats or getting very angry. Mrs. Perking says they picked up all the clothes on Kayla's floor and hid them. They cleaned everything up. When Kayla came back to a bare bedroom, there was screaming and shouting,"How can I live without my clothes?" Mrs. Perkins asked Kayla to earn her clothes back by doing housework. These days, she keeps her room clean.Humour can help, too. For example, since Jessica, the 14-year-old daughter wasn't bothered by the dirty clothes all over her floor, the whole family started using her room as a place to store dirty clothes. Her attitude changed after her family did that. By the time she gavein and cleaned up her room a few days later, even she was laughing.Parenting expert, Jim Fay, also recommends that parents first ask children in a nice way to clean up and agree on a reasonable time limit.

She gets paid to climb beautiful mountains, photograph their glittering (闪闪发光的) summits and post about her adventures to her fans.Young graduated from Seattle University’s school of Law in 2015. But she decided she didn’t want to become a lawyer. Her parents were shocked by the decision. “They were worried about what I was going to do,” Young says. “How was I going to find career stability?”But her legal skills haven’t gone to waste. Once companies express an interest in working with her, there’s the tough task of negotiating the terms (条款) of the deal. And the work is still unfinished even after she’s done take the photos. Whe n Young returns from her adventures, she carefully edits the images and writes captions to go along with them. Once the posts are public, businesses sometimes don’t pay on time. That's when she needs to follow up. Her least favorite problem is when she discovers that a company has used her photos in a way that violates the terms of the contract.That usually leads to time-consuming email exchanges.Social media influencing is not as effortless as it seems. The stress it creates even has its own name: creator burnout (精疲力竭) . Young used to obsessively check her post’s performance, which she says will “drive you crazy”, so she stopped. But if she doesn’t reply, people will stop commenting.Without that engagement on her posts, brands won’t want to keep paying he r. Therefore, she had to accept the fact that she’ll be tethered (拴住) to her phone as long as she’s in this line of work.Beyond the day-to- day headaches of a career online, social media’s inherent (固有的) uncertainly also poses problems for creators. There are times when Young is staring at the calendar without another project in the works. In the long term, it can be risky to focus a career on a single platform, or even on social media itself.Yet Young says it’s all been worth it, because the sponsorship allow her to spend much of her life in the mountains. Her ideal day starts with unzipping her tent at dawn so she can take pictures ofthe sunrise reflecting on snowy summits around her. Few jobs in the world would allow her to do that so consistently (一贯地) .【小题1】What is paragraph 3 mainly about?A．The main work involved in being an Instagram influencer.B．The difficulties that every Instagram star will meet.C．How to deal with dishonest companies.D．How Meghan Young’s legal skills help her work.【小题2】According to the article, all of the following are problems with being a social media influencer EXCEPT__________.A．there are a lot of tough tasks when dealing with sponsors.B．the work of photo-taking and image-editing is difficult to handle. C．it is stressful to check one’s phone and to interact with fansall the time.D．the income is unstable and the career prospects are uncertain. 【小题3】According to the article, what is Meghan Young’s attitude toward her career as a full-time influencer?A．Bored. B．Worried.C．Satisfied D．Confident.【小题4】According to the article, which of the following statements is true?A．Meghan Young’s decision to be a full-time influencer was supported by her parents.B．It happens frequently that Meghan Young doesn’t get paid on time. C．It is impossible for Instagram influencers to put down their phones.D．In order to increase their influence, creators have to keep a good relationship with fans.7. About the time that schools and others quite reasonably became interested in seeing to it that all children, whatever their background, were fairly treated, intelligence testing became unpopular.Some thought it was unfair to minority children. Through the past few decades such testing has gone out of fashion and many communities have indeed forbidden it.However, paradoxically(自相矛盾的), just recently a group ofblack parents filed a lawsuit (诉讼) in California claiming that the state’s ban on IQ testing discriminates(歧视) against their children by denying them the opportunity to take the test. (They believe, correctly, that IQ tests are a valid method of evaluating (评估)children for special education classes.) The judge, therefore, reversed, at least partially his original decision.And so the argument goes on and on. Does it benefit or harm children from minority groups to have their intelligence tested? We have always been on the side of permitting, even promoting such testing. If a child of any color or group is doing poorly in schoolit seems to us very important to know whether it is because he or she is of low intelligence, or whether some other factor is the cause.What school and family can do to improve poor performance is influenced by its cause. It is not discriminative to evaluate eithera child’s physical condition o r his intellectual level.Unfortunately, intellectual level seems to be a sensitive subject, and what the law allows us to do varies from time to time. The same fluctuation (起伏) back and forth occurs in areas other than intelligence. Thirty years or so ago, for instance, white families were encouraged to adopt black children. It was considered discriminative not to do so.And then the style changed and this cross-racial adopting became generally unpopular, and social agencies felt that black children should go to black families only. It is hard to say what are the best procedures. But surely good will on the part of all of us is needed.As to intelligence, in our opinion, the more we know about any child’s intellectual level, the better for the child in ques tion.【小题1】Why did the intelligence test become unpopular in the past few decades?A．Its validity was challenged by many communities.B．It was considered discriminative against minority children.C．It met with strong opposition from the majority of black parents. D．It robbed the black children of their rights to a good education. 【小题2】The author believes that intelligence testing . A．may ease racial discrimination in the United StatesB．can encourage black children to keep up with white childrenC．may seriously worsen racial discrimination in the United States D．can help black parents make decisions about their children’s education【小题3】The author’s opinion of child adoption seems to bethat .A．no definite rules can be prescribedB．white families should adopt black childrenC．adoption should be based on IQ test resultsD．cross-racial adoption is to be advocated【小题4】Child adoption is mentioned in the passage to show that______.A．good will may sometimes complicate racial problemsB．social surroundings are vital to the healthy growth of children C．intelligence testing also applies to non-academic areas D．American opinion can shift when it comes to sensitive issues五、六选四8. Directions: Read the passage carefully. Fill in each blank with a proper sentence given in the box.Each sentence can be used only once. Note that there are two more sentences than you need.One afternoon three years ago, Chelsey Vance from Tennessee decided to go for a walk after taking some ibuprofen (布洛芬) . She didn't know then that she was allergic (过敏的) to the painkiller.About halfway down the trail, she felt like she was going tofaint (昏倒) . Vance sent her roommate her location and asked the roommate to come pick her up. She soon lost consciousness(意识) . Knowing Vance' s exact location, the roommate was able to find her quickly and to call an ambulance. Vance credits the location- sharing service as the reason she's alive today.Vance' s story is a typical example of the most obvious purposes of location sharing safety. 【小题1】.Launches of apps like Find My Friends, in 2011, were the start of mainstream location sharing.【小题2】Location sharing had really taken off by the time Snap- chat was released in 2017. Today, people frequently broadcast their where abouts to their social circles.Why do people share their locations? They say the apps provide peace of mind. Calvin Jordan, who lives in Virginia, says that because he recently moved,he doesn't have a lot of friends and family members in the area. He feels better knowing that people closest to him have his location. "If I go out somewhere strange or it'slate. 【小题3】 I'll go into a group chat with my friends who have me on Find My Friends," Jordan says. "I'l tell them: I'm planning toleave at this time. If you don't see my little icon move, just give me a call or something -- to make sure I'm OK."Several parents use the app to keep track of their kids, especially teens who drive. Joan Rose,from San Diego, uses Find My Friends to track her teenage son. She says the app reduces her worries when he's out late at night and allows her to see when he's on his way home.【小题4】People use them to manage the logistics (物流) of road trips or check if their roommate stopped at the grocery store on the way home. It does away with the need for update through texts and calls - you can get an answer without disturbing anyone.A．But at the time, many people were hesitant to use these apps regularly.B．Location-sharing apps also make coordinating ( 协调) more convenient.C．This would have been a terrifying concept before smart-phone technology.D．Even if people haven't been in an emergency situation, many use them just in case.E．Some teens, however, are unless with their parents' use of location-sharing apps.F．But this technology is used much more often in none-emergency situations.六、汉译英（整句）9. 这个故事的结尾剥夺了我的想象力。
