BWhen Katie Stagliano was 9 years old she was given a class project to grow her first cabbage from just one seed. She took it home and planted it in her home garden. It didnt even take her long to come up and begin to grow. But as friends came over, they pointed out that it was bigger than any of theirs. And it grew so much that the cabbage ended up weighing 40 pounds! Katie then decided that she could use this cabbage to do something nice for the community. So she took the huge cabbage to a local soup kitchen, where they used it, and cooked it with ham and rice. And because of her cabbage, 275 people were fed.She began to realize that gardening and helping people is what she likes to do most. So, she decided to start her first garden on a plot of land donated by her school.“I think if more kids get to experience gardening they would find out how cool it is and how many people can be fed if you donate your produce,” said Katie. Now, just 9 years later, Katie is 18 years old, and has set up her own business called “Katies Krops” with the help of her family friends.But this doesnt even come close to the other amazing part. She has raised over 200,000 dollars! And there are over 100 Katies Krops within 33 states in the United States. She loves gardening and loves inspiring other children to experience the joy of gardening as well.

In fact, researchers say, running in cold weather helps improve ones performance.Many people say running in the winter can be difficult. Two reasons are the low temperatures and bitter winds. Yet many runners might find it easier than running in hot weather.That could be because lower temperatures reduce stress on the body. When you run in cold weather, your heart rate and the bodys dehydration (脱水) levels are lower than in warmer conditions. The body needs less water on a cold day than in warm weather.This information comes from sports scientists at St. Marys University in London. John Brewer is a professor of applied sport science at St. Marys.For this study, he and other researchers put a group of people into a room they called an “environmental chamber.” The researchers then recreated summer and winter weather conditions in the room. The test subjects were asked to run 10,000 meters under both conditions. Brewer says he and his team recorded biological measurements of the runners.“Weve got a group of subjects into the environmental chamber, weve changed the conditions to replicate the summer or winter and weve got them to run a 10km under both of those conditions and taken various measurements on each runner while theyve been completing their 10km.”Brewer says every movement runners make produces heat. He explains that one way in which we lose heat is by sweating. The body loses heat through droplets of sweat. He says the body also loses heat by transporting the blood to the surface of the skin.28. What can we know about running in winter?A. It increases pressure of the body. B. It makes your heart rate higher.C. It improves the function of body. D. It needs more water than in summer.29. What can we know about the research according to the text?A. Researchers interviewed the subjects B. Subjects were asked to run in winter and summer.C. Subjects built the “environmental chamber”. D. Biological measurements of the runners were recorded.3 30.Which of the following can replace the underlined word “replicate” in Paragraph7?A. Combine. B. Copy. C. Remember. D. Decorate.31. Whats the best title for the passage? A. Environmental Chamber B. The Way of Losing HeatC. Biological Measurements of the RunnersD. Running in Cold Weather Improves Performance DAlongside air and water, food is a necessity for human beings to survive and thrive. But its a lot more than that. As Mariette Dichristina of Scientific American wrote: “The most intimate (亲密的) relationship we will ever have is not with any fellow human being. Instead, it is between our bodies and our food.”Nowadays, for most people in the worlds wealthiest countries, food is a hobby, an enthusiasm, and even something fashionable.Turn on the TV in the US, UK or France, and youll find at least one channel feeding this popular obsession.And most of us know at least one person who thinks of themselves as a “foodie”. Its almost impossible nowadays to check our social media apps without at least two or three photos of delicious meals appearing on our screen.But behind the fancy recipes and social media bragging (夸耀), many of us forget how much we take food for granted. This is why World Food Day is held each year.Take Kenya for example. This east African nation has been suffering terrible droughts. The result is that people are beginning to starve. Children in particular are suffering, with some of them even dying.This may seem shocking to know, especially as many cultures outside of Africa think of food in a completely different way. But even in the UK, families on low incomes are forced to use food banksEuropean organizations that hand out donated food to those who cant afford to pay for it themselves.So what can we do on World Food Day? One good way to spend it would be to feel humble and appreciate what we have. After all, food is essential for survival, but not everyone is as lucky as we are when it comes to dinner time.32.According to Mariette Dichristina, what has the closest relationship with us? AAir.BFood. CWater.DHuman beings.33What does the underlined word “foodie” in Paragraph 4 probably mean? ADelicious food.BA photo of delicious meals. CA social media app.DA person fond of food. 34Who can get help from food banks? AStarving children in Kenya.BPoor people in Africa. CPoor people in the UK.DPeople in the drought-stricken.35Whats the best title for the text? ATime to Appreciate Food BFood Shortage in Some Countries CTreat Food as a Hobby DHow to Spend World Food Day第二节 （共 5 小题，每小题 2 分，满分 10 分）根据短文内容，从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项，选项中有两项为多余选项。5 ways to focus your mind1. Focus with a purposeThe mistake most people make is lacking a clear purpose -they want to be more focused, but dont know what for. Avoidance is the mother of distraction. If you dont have a concrete reason to stay focused, your mind will jump from one thing to another. Training your mind to pay attention requires something to focus on. 36 . When you dont have a purpose, its easier to get distracted. Conversely, having a clear why will help you stay focused.2. Solve a real problemMost of the times, we are doing meaningless work. We jump from one task to another without accomplishing anything. We end solving the wrong problem and lose our focus. You have to decide what your priorities arefocus on what will advance your daily, weekly or monthly goals. Leam to say no to the rest. 37 . Those who lack focus are busy fighting urgent, but irrelevant fires.3. Eliminate(消除) other options38 , its harder to get distracted, Create rules where you cant start a new activity until you finished another one first. For example, in a good day, Pink leaves his office at 10-10:30. On a bad day, he might stay disconnected until 2 or 3 PM. When you eliminate all options, its easier to focus on the only thing thats left.4. 39 .When your work and your mental state are not aligned (使结盟), they create an emotional dissonance. Focusing is hard, Dealing with this stressful feeling becomes an additional distraction. Adapting your work to your mental state increases your focus. Learn to understand the types of work you do and align them with your mental states.5. Set deadlinesDeadlines are more than bringing your goals to life. Yes, committing to a specific date increases your chances to achieve an objective. However, the power of deadlines lies in creating a constraint. Limitations benefit both creativity and productivityby challenging ourselves, we increase our focus. 40 .AWhen you dont have choicesBWhen you create some rulesCTake advantage of your mental stateDCombine your action with your mental stateE. Focus on important things and suppress urgencyF. Focusing requires having an intention for your attentionG. Using deadlines smartly can motivate you with less pressure第三部分英语知识运用（共三节，满分55）第一节 完形填空（共20小题；每小题15分，满分30分）阅读下面短文，从短文后各题所给的四个选项（A、B、C和D）中，选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项，并在答题卡上将该项涂黑。I made a speech at Eton School last year.
