adults is now considered to be obese.Children obesity is alsoat an all-time high.Obesity means being very overweight.If you are obese,you have too much bodyfat.If you eat more food than your body can use,this will make you put on weight.Food that your body does not need will be stored as fat by your body.The following are the major factors that increase the risk of obesity.What you eat plays a major role in weight gain.Eating a lot of fast food such as hamburgers,sweet drinks,ice creams and other sweet food can increase the risk of becoming obese.If you do not do enough exercise,you will put on weight as the food you eat is not being used to make energy for physical activities.The chances of you being obese are greater if your parents are obese.There are many psychological factors that cause people to eat too much.People who are worried,unhappy or bored will often eat to make themselves feel better.This is known as comfort eating.Age is another factor,as you tend(趋于)to be less active when you get older.When you get older,you need to eat less,and if you do not eat less,you will put on weight.Obesity can cause many health problems such as heart problems,high blood pressure

philosopher(哲学家)Confucius once said,“Time flows away like the water in the river.”This is especially true as the novel coronavirus pneumonia outbreak has affected millions of people in China,andthe whole nation has been working day and night to fight the epidemic.In late January,when an increasing number of people in Wuhan were suspected to be infected,and hospitals didnt have adequate beds for them,two special hospitalsLei shenshan Hospital and Huo shenshan Hospital were built.These two makeshift(临时的)hospitals were built to treat pneumonia patients infected with the novel coronavirus.HuoshenshanHospitalhas 1,000 beds and covers 33,900 square meters,andLeishenshanHospitalhas 1,500 beds and a total area of about 79,000 square meters.More than 4,000 workers worked 24/7 in two shifts,and nearly 1,000 large-scale pieces of equipment and transport vehicles helped the project on site.The two hospitals were built in an amazingly short time.It only took 10 days for people to build Huo shenshan,and 14 days for Lei shenshan.This certainly wowed many people overseas.“Its incredible that two hospitals with 2,500 beds can be built in a short period.Its just hard to believe,”a foreigner named Stuart told Peoples Daily.In the meantime,Chinese companies have also taken actions quickly in this battle.“The automobile industry is highly industrialized with strong capabilities in comprehensive manufacturing,purchasing materials,production lines and output of technologies,”Shi Jianhua,deputy secretary-general of China Association of Automobile Manufacturers,told CCTV News.“In this special time,when the nation needs more masks,its time for us to quickly respond and shoulder the social responsibilities.”Indeed,a fast response is crucial in any crisis.In this special time,Chinacant afford to waste a second in the fight against the epidemic.After all,time equals life during this crisis.4.Confucius saying“Time flows away like the water in the river.”is mentioned to _.A.arouse readers interest in the passage.B.introduce the subject of the passage.C.present the background information.D.stress the value of time in epidemic.5.What can we learn about Lei shenshan hospital and Huo shenshan hospital?A.They are new hospitals for health care inWuhan.B.They were built in minimal time.C.Over 4,000 workers worked continuously.D.Stuart found them too massive to believe.6.We can infer from Shi Jianhuas words that the automobile industry inChina_.A.had no medical supplies factories before.B.guarantees whoever in need enough masks.C.has capabilities to give timely response.D.has strong abilities in manufacturing.7.What does the passage mainly talk about?A.China fights epidemic against the clock.B.Twospecial hospitals were constructed.C.Chinese firms acted quickly and effectively.D.Time is crucial for people in overcoming crisis.C Avi Loeb,a scientist,believes that we are not alone in the universe.The belief fits withLoebs alien spaceship theory that at least one alien spaceship might be flying over the orbit of Jupiter,which won the international attention last year.Astronomers inHawaiifound the first known interstellar object in late 2017.It was a bit of light moving so fast past the sun that it could only have come from another star.Almost every astronomer on the planet was trying to figure out how the object,called“Oumuamua”got to our far-away part of the Milky way galaxy.“One possibility is that Oumuamua is debris from an advanced technological equipment,”Loeb said.“Technology comes from another solar system just showed up at our door.”“Oumuamua is not an alien spaceship,”Paul Sutter,another scientist wrote.He suggested Loeb was seeking publicity.Most scientists think“Oumuamua”is some sort of rock.They think it could be an icy wandering comet.Loeb says that“Oumuamuas”behavior means it cant be a block of rock shaped like a long photo.He thinks its more likely an object thats very long and thin,perhaps like a long pancake or a ships sail.Loeb says that if someone shows him evidence thatcontradictshis beliefs,he will immediately give in.Loeb believes himself a truth-teller and risk-taker in an age of very safe,too-quiet scientists.“The worst thing that can happen to me is that I would be relieved of my management duties,and that would give me even more time to focus on science,”Loeb says.He said he wouldnt mind giving up all the titles he had and returning to the Israeli farming village where he grew up.8.What does Loeb say about“Oumuamua”?A.It is an icy comet.B.It looks like a long photo.C.It is actually some sort of rock.D.It may come from another alien civilization.9.What does the underlined word“contradicts”in paragraph 4 probably mean?A.Goes against.B.Relies on.C.Turns to.D.Searches for.10.What do you think of Loeb?A.He is foolish.B.He is unsatisfied with his titles.C.He is a firm believer in scientific truth.D.He is uncertain about his career future.11.Whats the best title for the text?A.Have Aliens Paid a Visit in Spaceships?B.Do We Really Know about Space Theory?C.Scientists Are Working on High Technology D.Astronomers Are Encouraging Space Travel D Its easy to do easy things,but they dont carry the challenges and rewards of doing something difficult.Scott Kelly said he tried to express that view everywhere he went.And he spoke from experience,having spent a career that included the time as a NASA astronaut,US Navy captain,fighter pilot,and engineer.Scott spoke at the University of North Alabama,sharing stories about his experience of spending a year on the International Space Station(ISS).He said the physical pressure of living in weightlessness for a year was hard to describe and that the fluids(积水)in his head sometimes made him feel like he was standing on his head.It also needed some time to recover when he returned home.“My legs were weak and it would be uncomfortable to sit for a while because my body hadnt had that pressure so long,”Scott said.He discussed life aboard including spending time with Russian astronauts.They came from different cultures.He had managed to get along well with everyone aboard as they lived together,worked together,and had to rely on each other.He thought it was one of the most rewarding things in his life.Though life there was not easy,Scott never regretted being an astronaut and going to space.He also discussed experiences growing up,admitting that he wasnt always the greatest student but was able to overcome that through hard work and determination.“Never give up or lower your dreams.If you work for it,all things are possible.There is a zero percent chance of succeeding if you dont even try.And when you succeed after trying hard,youll find it really rewarding,”Scott said in the end.12.Scott mentioned his experience in the ISS mainly to show _.A.he enjoyed making speeches B.he was a responsible astronaut C.his life in space was challenging D.the daily life of an astronaut can be boring 13.What may benefit Scott most when he lived with Russian astronauts?A.He won some awards through teamwork.B.He found the fun of living in the Space Station.C.He learned to develop close relationships with others.D.He picked up some knowledge of Russian culture.14.Which of the following can best describe Scott?A.Kind and thoughtful.B.Curious and humorous.C.Easygoing and sociable.D.Hardworking and determined.15.What does the author intend to tell us from Scotts story?A.Its importantto have a dream B.Easy things are also worth doing C.A suitable career leads one to success.D.Difficult things are demanding but rewarding 第二节（共 5 小题；每小题 2 分，满分 10 分）阅读下面短文，从短文后的选项中选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项 Many friendships go through tough times,but a difficult fight may leave your
