Each candle represented a number in her age. She received a greeting from Italys president, Sergio Mattarella. He wished her peace and continued good health.Emma Morano is thought to be the last living person born in the 1800s. She outlived all her brothers and sisters, including one who died at age 102. Her doctor noted that when Morano was young, people used to say she was weak and often sick. While she is lucky to have lived so long, parts of her life were “not so nice”. She worked in a factory until she retired at age 65.The first man Morano planned to many died in World War One. Then, at age 26, she married another man. She had a son, hut died after the birth, which was a great shock to her. However, she thought she didnt lose everything.

According to the National and Nutrition Survey, far too many young people in the UK between the ages of 14 and 18 consume too much fat sugar and salt in their diet and take in too many calories. Meanwhile their intake of starchy carbohydrates(含大淀粉碳水化合物), fibre, iron, vitamins and calcium is too low.For a growing body, eating foods containing plenty of calcium, such as milk, yoghurt and cheese, is particularly important as calcium is essential for the development of healthy, strong bones. Similarly, foods that are rich in iron are good for young, rapidly developing bodies, so red meat, bread, green vegetables, dried fruit and tonified(使增强体质的) breakfast cereals are also recommended.It is during our teenage years that habits of lifestyle can become entrenched(根深蒂固的), so it is crucial(至关重要的) that young people are educated about what foods are good for them. In 2005, in an attempt to change eating habits and open teenagers minds to new flavours and new tastes, celebrity chef Jamie Oliver launched a “Feed Me Better” campaign. As part of a television series “Jamie School Dinners”, he worked with teachers and cooks in a number of schools across the UK to provide more healthy. nutritious school meal options. Although there was initial resistance from sonic teenagers and parents, the campaign was generally hailed(把誉为) as a huge success and helped to influence governmental policy on nutritional standards for school meals.No one expects to end the teenage love affair with fast and junk food but, hopefully, if projects “Feed Me Better” and the governments own “Change for Life” campaign continue to give out the right messages, more young people will understand the importance of balancing occasional treats with healthier food options.28. From the first two paragraphs we can know that .A. British teenagers eat too much junk foodB. British teenagers need to take in more calciumC. what British teenagers like to eat is probably what their bodies needD. British teenagers should reduce their intake of starchy carbohydrates29.

According to the article, Jamie Oliver launched a campaign at schools to .A. show off his excellent cooking skillsB. teach students how to cook nutritious mealsC. introduce governmental policy on nutritional standards for school mealsD. draw the publics attention to the importance of nutritious school meals31.

It is difficult to make children understand the importance of a healthy diet.C. It is OK to eat a little bit junk food as long as you eat healthily most of the time.D. Our eating habits are developed in our teenage years and then influence our lifestyle.DA recent study led by researchers from the National University of Singapore(NUS) has found a clear link between the color of a taxi and its accident rate. An analysis of 36 months of detailed taxi, driver and accident data from two fleets of yellow and blue taxis in Singapore suggested that yellow taxis have fewer accidents than blue taxis. The higher visibility(能见度) of yellow makes it less difficult for drivers to avoid getting into accidents with yellow taxis, leading to a lower accident rate.The study was led by Prof Ho. To test whether there was a relationship between the color of a taxi and the number of accidents the taxi had, the research team analysed data collected by the largest taxi company in Singapore. The researchers found that yellow taxis have about 6.1 fewer accidents per 1,000 taxis per month.They also studied the economic effect of changing the color of the entire fleet of taxis to yellow. The Singapore taxi company involved in the study owns about 16,700 taxis in a ratio(比例) of one yellow to three blue taxis. If a commercial decision is made to switch from blue to yellow taxis, 76.6 fewer accidents will occur per month or 917 fewer accidents per year.Assuming an average repair cost of $1,000 per car and a downtime of six days, the color of all taxis to yellow could produce an annual saving of $2 million.“We are eager to continue to validate(证实) the findings of our study by looking at the use of yellow in other types of public transport, such as school buses. For example, we hope to compare the accident rates of yellow school buses against those of other colors to find out if yellow is indeed a safer color for school buses. Besides, were also interested to look at private-hire vehicles and do a comparison of the accident rates of vehicles that are of different colors.” Explained Prof Ho.32. Why do yellow taxis result in fewer accidents?A. Because yellow can be seen more easily.B. Because yellow signals a warning of danger.C. Because drivers tend to be more careful in yellow taxis.D. Because people act more quickly in yellow surroundings.33. Whats Prof Hos study based on?A. Physical risks taxi passengers experience.B. The economic effect of changing taxi color.C. Data from Singapores largest taxi company.D. Personal reports from taxi drivers worldwide.34. What do Prof Hos words in the last paragraph suggest?A. School buses should be painted yellow.B. Their findings are worth popularizing.C. Their study will be furthered.D. Yellow should be widely used in public transport.35. What can be the best title for the text?A. Caution: yellow taxis ahead B. Safer to ride in yellow taxisC. Why are yellow taxis preferred? D. How can colors help prevent accidents?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。Accidents happen more often than you think.
