21、It's believed that after a poor night's sleep, a strong coffee is the kick-start that many people need in the morning, but a new research suggests that it might be best to have a bite to eat first.
A study has found that drinking coffee first can have a negative effect on blood sugar control a risk factor for diabetes（糖尿病）and heart disease.
“We know that nearly half of us will wake in the morning and, before doing anything else, drink coffee—subjectively the more tired we feel, the stronger the coffee,” said Professor James Betts, at the University of Bath in the UK.
For their study, researchers at the University of Bath got 29 healthy men and women to take part in three different overnight experiments, with at least a week between them.
In one, the participants had a normal night's sleep, roughly from 11 p. m. to 7 a. m. , and were asked to consume a sugary drink on waking in the morning. They then experienced an interrupted night's sleep, where the researchers woke them every hour for five minutes by sending them text messages to which they had to respond—and upon waking were given the same sugary drink.
On another night, participants experienced the same sleep interruption, but this time, were first given a strong black coffee 30 minutes before consuming the sugary drink.
They found that one night of interrupted sleep did not worsen the participants' blood sugar and insulin（胰岛素）responses when compared to the normal night's sleep—although previous research suggested that losing many hours of sleep or many nights of poor sleep could have a negative effect. However, strong black coffee consumed before breakfast actually increased the blood sugar response by around 50%—suggesting that relying on coffee after a bad night to stop feeling sleepy could limit your body's ability to tolerate the sugar in your breakfast.
【1】What does the underlined word "kick-start" in paragraph 1 refer to?
A．A kind of drink.
B．A kind of habit.
C．A kind of power.
D．A kind of medicine.
【2】Which of the following is right according to the text?
A．If we feel tired， we should choose stronger coffee
B．Drinking coffee first may cause some serious diseases.
C．It shows that having breakfast first can refresh sleepy people
D．Half of people are hard to kick the habit of drinking strong coffee.
【3】What increased the participants' blood sugar response most before breakfast?
A．A cup of strong black coffee.
B．A normal night's sleep.
C．An interrupted night's sleep.
D．A normal sugary drink.
【4】How did researchers draw the conclusion?
A．By listing some examples.
B．By observing the process.
C．By explaining a phenomenon.
D．By comparing the results.
22、Self—talk helps us all
Talking to yourself may seem a little shameful. If you've ever been overheard criticizing yourself for a foolish mistake or practicing a speech, you'll know the social problems it can cause. 【1】 Talking to ourselves, whether out loud or silently in our heads, is valuable. Far from being a sign of madness, self—talk allows us to plan what wea re going to do, manage our activities and control our emotions.
Psychologists call self—talk private speech—language that is spoken out loud but directed at yourself. We do a lot of it when we are young. As children, we use private speech to control our actions in the same way that we use public speech to control the behavior of others. 【2】
Psychological experiments have shown that dais so—called inner speech can improve our performance in tasks like telling what other people are thinking. One recent study suggests that self—talk is the most effective when we talk to ourselves in the second person: as "you" rather than "I".
We keep the private speech we use as children inside—but we never truly put away the out—loud version._ 【3】 You're sure to see an athlete shouting at himself or herself.
【4】 Heating different points of view means our thoughts can end up in different places, leading to a solution to a problem, just like a regular dialogue, and might turn out to be one of the keys to human creativity.
Both kinds of self—talk—silent and out loud—seem to bring many different benefits to our thinking. 【5】
A．But there's no need for embarrassment.
B．If you want proof, turn on a sports channel.
C．As we grow older, we keep this system inside.
D．Take a trip to any preschool and watch a small child playing with toys.
E．Words to the self, spoken silently or aloud, are so much more than just chatter.
F．According to the well—known saying, talking to yourself is the first sign of madness.
G．Self—talk seems to be a very good way of solving problems and working through ideas.
23、 When you think of batteries, you’ll likely think about them powering up remote controls, cellphones, flashlights and toys. But some people carry a battery around in their body to power a pacemaker (起搏器). It isn’t really pleasant and easy to carry batteries because they need to be replaced so often and they can leak poisonous chemicals. A battery-powered pacemaker may become a thing of the past, thanks to a new technology developed by UCLA researchers: a biological supercapacitor (超级电容器), which is thinner than several hairs.
Teams of researchers at UCLA and the University of Connecticut published a paper in a journal explaining their new invention. The supercapacitor is made from a carbon material, and coated with human-like proteins that act as electrodes (电极). But what makes the device different is that it is powered by an energy harvester that changes body heat and movement in the blood into energy.
Those traditional pacemakers are six to eight millimeters thick. They are much bigger. The new supercapacitor, which, due to its lack of battery, is only one micrometer thick. This “little” feature could benefit the new pacemaker’s energy efficiency, researchers stated. Also, unlike other batteries used in medical treatments, the supercapacitor can bend and twist in the body without suffering damage.
Though they’ve not been widely used in the medical world, supercapacitors have the ability to serve as a safer and more efficient medical device than the traditional battery-operated devices, the researchers believe.
“In order to be effective, battery-free pacemakers must have supercapacitors that can get, store and transport energy. However, commercial supercapacitors are too slow to make them work,” said Maher El-Kady, a UCLA researcher and a co-author of the study. “Our research focused on the custom-designed supercapacitor to capture energy effectively, and finding a way to make it exist together successfully with the human body.”
【1】What do we know about traditional pacemakers?
A.They are very popular with users.
B.They can do harm to the users’ bodies.
C.They need to be replaced quite often.
D.They are really convenient to carry around.
【2】What is special about the new supercapacitor?
A.It has electrodes on the outside.
B.It is made from a kind of protein material.
C.It can transform the energy from the body.
D.It helps save the carriers’ money and energy.
【3】Which of the following makes the new pacemaker energy-efficient?
A.The small size.
B.The small battery.
C.The energy harvester.
D.The bending and twisting characters.
【4】What is the best title for the text?
A.A New Technology to Downsize Batteries.
B.A New Battery-free Pacemaker.
C.A Smaller Battery-powered Pacemaker.
D.A Great Contribution Made by UCLA Researchers.
24、 This is not a diet. It’s a simple way to lose weight. And you don’t even have to give up the food you love or join a gym. It’s about balancing calories in tiny ways that add up to big benefits. You just form some habits that lean people have. Stick with them, and you’ll become thin.

26、请阅读下面文字及图表，并按照要求用英语写一篇150词左右的文章。
The ministry of Human Resources and Social Security released a list of 100 professions that have major demand. Vacancies for sales positions, cashiers, restaurant waiters and security guards topped the list, followed by manufacturing professionals, including lathe (车床) operators, welders (电焊工) and porters, according to the ministry.
“Usually, we believe that sectors closely related to high technology face the toughest situation,” said Yin Baoming, a researcher at the Chinese Academy of Labor and Social Security. “But it’s the same with low-killed jobs. They are also key.”
Lin Qing, a 23-year-old from Jiangsu province, who worked as a receptionist for a cybercafe in Beijing, quit last year and is now studying for the test to get into a vocational college.
”I felt hopeless after working for the cybercafe for almost three years,” she said. “I worked for restaurants and cafes, but none of these jobs brought me any respect or sense of dignity. I want to learn some skills through training courses. I don’t want to live a life of hard physical work anymore.”
