21、 Public Health England (PHE) is targeting pizzas, ready meals, ready meat and takeaways. The government has also required the food industry to start using healthier food and encourage the public to choose lower calorie (卡路里) foods.
It is all part of an effort to cut calorie intake by 20% by 2024. The target will point to 13 different food groups, which are equal to about a fifth of the calorie taken by children. If action is not taken, PHE said, it would be prepared to ask the government to pass laws.
PHE would strictly monitor the progress by looking at which products people buy and would be prepared to punish companies which do not take on their duties. The government is also organizing a program encouraging adults to consume (吃，喝) 400 calories at breakfast and 600 each at lunch and dinner.
At present, adults consume between 200 and 300 calories more than they should each day. PHE chief nutritionist Dr. Alison Tedstone said the 400600600 tip would make it easier for people to make healthier choices by being able to judge what they should eat at each meal.
How many calories should we eat? It is suggested that a woman eat no more than 2,000 calories a day, while a man should limit his intake to 2,500. For children, it depends on the age. A fouryearold should consume no more than 1,300 calories a day, while for teens aged 17 and 18, it is about 3,000, but overweight children are eating up to 500 calories more than that.
Prof Russell Viner, from the Royal College of Pediatrics and Child Health, said it was a necessary move. He said, “Over the past 40 years, there has been slow growth in food sizes, with pizzas and hamburgers simply much bigger than they were in our parents' time.” The convenience of fast food and the advertisement of unhealthy food and drinks to children add to the problem.
【1】What will happen to a company if it encourages high calorie food?
A.It will be punished by customers.
B.It will be forced to stop producing foods.
C.It will be punished by Public Health England.
D.It will be asked to throw away all the food.
【2】Who should take in the most calories?
A.Babies aged 4. B.Teens aged 18.
C.Women. D.Men.
【3】What can be learned from the text?
A.The government has passed laws about using healthier food.
B.PHE is concerned about the British health problems.
C.Men should eat no more than 2,000 calories.
D.Hamburgers are not bigger than before.
22、Australia was always a country I wanted to visit, so I saved up some money and booked a flight to go traveling up the east coast of Australia at the end of my work in London.
The flight made me realize exactly how far away Australia is from home. I spent 10 hours traveling on a plane from London to Hong Kong, then a further 8 hours to Sydney, my first stop in Australia. The flight went quite quickly though, since there were lots of films to watch to keep me amused. It was strange when I arrived because everything was upside down over there; it was the start of winter (in May)! It also took me a while to get used to the time difference as I was always one day ahead of all my friends and family back home.
The country is truly beautiful, full of amazing views and wildlife you wouldn’t find anywhere else in the world.
One of my experiences of my trip was seeing koalas closely in Brisbane -- there were koalas everywhere sleeping in the trees and I even got the chance to hold one. There was also big grassland full of kangaroos that we were allowed to feed. They were really smart and very friendly.
The highlight of my trip was snorkeling in the Great Barrier Reef, as the water as amazingly clear with a beautiful shade of blue. I also got the chance to see some special creatures underwater, such as sea turtles and even a shark.
Australia is an amazing country and worth visiting one day if you ever get the chance.
【1】Why didn’t the author get bored on the plane?
A．Because the journey didn’t take him too long.

【2】How did the author feel when he reached Sydney?

B．Unique wild animals living in Australia.
C．Beautiful natural landscape in Brisbane.
D．Wonderful experiences with wild animals.
23、 Humans once opposed coffee and refrigeration. Here’s why we often hate new stuff.
Humans have a habit of deliberately delaying their own progress. From coffee to mechanical refrigeration to genetically altered food, history is littered with innovations that caused resistance before they become fixtures in everyday life. But the past 600 years of human history help to explain why humans often oppose new technologies and why that pattern of opposition continues to this day. Calestous Juma, a professor of Harvard University, explores this phenomenon in his latest book, Innovation and Its Enemies: Why People Resist New Technologies.
Among Juma’s claims is that people do not fear innovation simply because the technology is new, but because innovation often means losing a piece of their identity or lifestyle, and separating people from nature or their sense of purpose—— two things that are fundamental to the human experience.
Juma identified in his research three key sources of opposition to innovation: those with commercial interests in existing products, those who identify with existing products, and those who might lose power as a result of change. The first group is perhaps the most obvious. Many industries have been disrupted by innovation. Just take a look at the pointless efforts of music publishers to stop the shift to digital music. Some consumers might oppose an innovation because the existing product is deeply rooted in their identity, culture or customs. Britons preferred tea time at home to sitting in a coffee shop, for example. Finally, the emergence of new technologies can also result in a shift in economic and political power, redistributing wealth and influence away from some groups, and toward others. The expansion of tractors （ 拖拉机） and other mechanical equipment reduced the need for farm labor, and the shift in population away from rural areas had significant political implications.
Humans make decisions about new innovations with their instinct rather than evidence. Opponents and enthusiasts of a new technology will often make shocking claims to support their arguments. Sometimes these claims are rooted in fact; other times they are not. People once claimed coffee could make you sterile （不育的）. Juma said beneath those arguments was typically an instinctive fear of new technologies, rather than a reasoned response. “People react intuitively, and they collect the evidence to support what they’re doing,”Juma said. “They see a new product and there is an emotional reaction to that product because it challenges their outlook on the world. This has been the story with almost every new product.”
Historically, technologists have been more concerned with the functionality of the products they create, paying less attention to the implications it may have on society at large, Juma contends. Fortunately, that may be starting to change.
【1】What does the underlined phrase in paragraph 1 probable mean?
A.is in favour of
B.is full of
C.encourages
D.is held back
【2】We can infer from the first two paragraphs that Juma’s book_____.
A.explores why history often repeats itself
B.focuses on the impact of technology on nature

D.researches the recurrence of a certain phenomenon
【3】Which of the following statements is correct according to Paragraph 4?
A.A successful technological innovation can affect population flow.
B.British people have a strong sense of independence.
C.Opposition to innovation is mainly caused by loss of cultural identity.
D.Young people prefer digital music to traditional recordings.
【4】In Juma’s opinion, people’s resistance to new technologies_____.
A.is a natural response
B.is not based on fact
C.arises from fear of challenges
D.reflects their prejudiced view of the world
【5】It is implied in the last paragraph that technologists should give more consideration to_____.
A.the functionality of new products
B.the social usefulness of new products
C.the potential danger of new products
D.the social influence of new products
