17、my mom and know all of the things she knew. So I carried around a book, and each night, just to be like her, I would pretend to be reading.This is how everyone learned to read. We would start off with sentences, then paragraphs, and then stories. It seemed an unending journey, but even as a six-year

18、-old girl I realized that knowing how to read couldopen many doors. When mom said, “ TheC-A-N-D- Y is hidden on the top shelf, ” I knew where the candy was.

25、. The Magic of ReadingD. Reading Makes a Full ManCWhy are people interested in eating raw foods or whole foods? One reason is that eating these types of food reduces the risk of acid accumulation in your body.Rawand whole foods are usually digested more efficiently than cooked and refined foods. Whe

26、n we cook foods, we destroy the natural enzymes （酶）that are part of thefood in its raw form. These enzymes were intended by nature to help us digest the food. When we consume food without these natural enzymes, our bodies either digest the food improperly or allow too many nutrients to be absorbed i

27、nto the bloodstream. In both instances, the result is obesity. When too many nutrients are absorbed at once, the body grows fat. Improperly digested food moves slowly through the digestive tract, where it becomes increasingly acidic. To protect its vital organs from this acidic waste, the body chang

28、es the acid into fat and stores it safely away from the organs.Processed foods contain chemical elements, which might confuse the appetite mechanism that tells us when we ve had enough to eat; as a result, people often overeat. Processed foods also upset the digestive cycle. The body will either ide

29、ntify these foods as allergens and then store them safely away from the organs as fat, or the remains of undigested food will become acidic and enter the bloodstream as acid waste, which will stick to the blood vessel walls and block the passage of vital oxygen andnutrients heading for the body s ce

30、lls. The body s metabolism （ 新陳代謝）becomesinactive, and the result is weight gain and obesity.The accumulation of acid in the digestive tract makes digestion increasingly inefficient. When that happens, even healthy foods can become acidic and the food allergies will become more common.To stop this v

31、icious circle in its tracks, people need to consume food and supplements that will neutralize the acid already accumulated in body. Eating theright types of raw and wholefoods can help. It s also important to restore your enzyme balance. You need to identify and avoid the foods that cause acid accum

32、ulation and consume the foods that increase enzyme production. If you truly want to change and help your body heal itself, you need to take an active approach.28. It can be inferred from Para. 2 that .A. foods with natural enzymes help people keep fitB. we d better be cautious about raw and whole fo

33、odsC. it is essential for people to protect their vital organsD. giving up cooked and refined foods is a new lifestyle29.

36、. However, the problem is, when we simply edit our imperfections away, we re also changing the way we look at ourselves.Last month, researchers published the article Selfies- Living in the Era ofFiltered（ 過 濾 的 ） Photographs.

37、espect and their possibility to cause appearance anxieties. The researchers also warned that such apps make it difficult to tell thedifference between reality and fantasy.“ These apps allow one to change his or herappearance in minutes and follow an unrealistic standard of beauty,” the articlereads.

38、In the past, people may have compared their looks to those of famous persons.But for today s young people, beauty standards are most likely set by what they see on social media. “ From birth, they are born into an age of social platforms where their feelings of self-worth can be based purely on the

39、number of likes and followers that they have, which is linked to how good they look. ” British cosmetic doctor Tijion Esho told The Independent. This is why many young people suffer an identity trouble when it comes to appearance.“ Now you ve got this daily comparison of your real self to this fake

40、self that you present on social media. ” Renee Engeln, a professor of psychology, told the HuffPost website. Engeln further pointed out that when people spend too much time making such comparisons, they may be come “ beauty sick ” and find it difficult to accept what they actually look like. “ Becau

41、se between you and the world is a mirror, it s a mirror that travels with you everywhere. You can t seem to put it down. ”she told The Washington Post. So when we look i n a real mirror, we shouldn t think to ourselves, “ Do I look as good as myself in the filtered photos?” Instead, weshould think,

Because their feelings of self-worth depend on their own likes and dislikes.D. Because their feelings of self-worth depend on their appearance.35. According to Engel

45、n, we should.A. feel good about what we actually look likeB. spend more time making comparison of our real self to fake selfC. take a mirror with us everywhereD .try to look as good as ourselves in the filtered photos 第二節(jié)（共5小題；每小題2分，茜分10分）根據(jù)短文內(nèi)容，從短文后的選項中選出能填入空白處的最佳選項。選項中有兩項為多余選 項。Much of the work in

46、 today s world is accomplished in teams. Most people believe the best way to build a great team is to gather a group of the most talented individuals. 36 Companies spend millions hiring top business people. Is their money well spent?37 They focused on football, basketball and baseball. The results a

47、re mixed.For football and basketball, adding talented players to a team proves a good method, but only up to the point where 70% of the players are top talent; above that level, the team s performance begins to decline. Interestingly, this trend isn t evidentin baseball, where additional individual

48、talent keeps improving the team s performance.To explain this phenomenon, the researchers explored the degree to which a good performance by a team requires its members to coordinate（協(xié)調(diào)）their actions. 38In baseball, the performance of individual players is less dependent on teammates.They conclude t

49、hat when task interdependence is high, team performance will suffer when there is too much talent, while individual talent will have positive effects on team performance when task interdependence is lower. If a basketballstar is, forexample, trying to gain a high personal point total, he may take a

50、shot himself when it would be better to pass the ball to a teammate, affectingthe team s performance.Young children learning to play team sports are often told, There is no I in TEAM. 39Another possibility is that when there is a lot of talent on a team, some players may make less effort. Just as in

51、 a game of tug-of-war （拔河比賽） ,whenever a person is added, everyone else pulls the rope with less force.40 .
