at some common sweeteners to find out.White SugarWhite sugar is also called table sugar because its often on tables at homes andrestaurants.Because it goes through the most processing,it has the least nutritional value ofall the sugars we consume.As it is being refined（提纯）,the sugar loses its minerals alongwith any natural color it had.During the refining process,thick,brown liquid known asmolasses（糖浆）is produced.Brown SugarBrown sugar is essentially white sugar with some of the molasses added back in.Although the molasses contains some nutrients,the amount added is not enough to be ofmuch benefit to people.3Black SugarSome people believe black sugar,which originated in Okinawa,Japan,is morenutritious than brown sugar.With black sugar,sugarcane is boiled until it turns into a darksauce,which is then cooled and formed into solid chunks.Thus,black sugar keeps itsmolasses content.HoneyHoney is another common type of sweetener that people use,with many believing it isthe healthiest option because it comes from bees and is therefore more natural.There is truthto that belief,but despite having more nutritional value,too much honey can still be harmfulto ones health.The main point seems to be that people should control their intake of sugaras much as possible.23.Which type of sugar contains the least nutrition?A.White SugarB.Brown SugarC.Black SugarD.Honey24.What makes honey a better choice?A.Its natural color.B.Its refining process.C.Its source.D.Its place of production.25.What is the purpose of the text?A.To advertise different kinds of sugars.B.To introduce the making process of sugar.C.To persuade people to control sugar intake.D.To recommend suitable sugars to people.BMadison stared through the window and watched a puffy white cloud pass over thewoods across from the school.It must be wonderful to be a bird,she thought.Total freedom.No math class to sit in,and her days would be spent on horseback.She thought of her horse,Star.“Madison.Could you please join us again?”Mrs.Smith said.“I was just asking theclass if anyone had any problems with the homework assignment.”“Well,I didnt have any problems doing it,but I had problems remembering to put it inmy school bag after I did it.”Some giggling spread through the room.“Madison.I dont know what I am going to do with you.Youre such a smart girl butyou just dont apply yourself.Class,clear your desks.Our guest is here and welcome DoctorLandon.He is a veterinarian(兽医).He came here today as part of our continued Career4Explorations Program.”Madison tried to focus as Doctor Landon talked about how important grades were andhow he struggled with math when he was a kid.Doctor Landon was still talking but she losttrack of what he was saying.Then a word caught her attention.Horse.Was he talking abouthorses?Gradually,Madison knew Doctor Landon had come to her town and house when herhorse,Star,needed care.She liked it that he even knew her horses name.“So,you justtravel around and take care of horses all day long?”Doctor Landon nodded.“I travel with my truck to take care of horses and ponies acrossthe county.It is a lot of work,but I love it.”Madisons mouth fell open.What a life that must be,she thought.At that moment,sitting in class,Madison could see her future and her life suddenly seemed bigger.By thetime she got off the bus that afternoon,her plans for the afternoon had changed.She wasstill going to ride Star,but first she was going to spend an hour studying math.Thentomorrow shed spend an hour studying science.26.Why was Madison called by Mrs.Smith in class?A.Because she had problems with math.B.Because she was absent-minded in class.C.Because she was distracted by the birds outside.D.Because she forgot to bring her homework back.27.Why was Doctor Landon invited to the class?A.To call for care for animals.B.To enrich studentsoutdoor activities.C.To emphasize the importance of study.D.To help students with their career choices.28.What can be inferred about Madison from the last paragraph?A.She was greatly inspired.B.She preferred math to science.C.She didnt believe Landons story.D.She changed her hobby completely.29.Which of the following is a suitable title for the text?A.An Exciting Horse RidingB.An Interesting Math ClassC.Madison Dreams BigD.Madison Pursues Freedom5CWith nearly a quarter of global greenhouse gas coming from all types oftransportation,can we keep ourselves off gas-powered vehicles to avoid the worst effects?As more governments push for urgent action on climate change,quite a few companiesarebettingtheirfuture thatmillionsofconsumersarefinallyreadyforelectricity-powered vehicles.Modern battery-powered cars are selling fast andzero-emission(排 放)planes are coming.These changes,both leading to a moresustainable future,are reinventing how we get from here to there.Cars and trucks are undergoing their greatest improvement since the automobiles(汽车)existence more than a century ago.Almost overnight,the era of the electric carhas arrived.Electricity has the advantage that it works without smell and with less noise.Global annual sales of electric vehicles are expected to soar from just over 3 milliontoday to 14 million by 2025.Just a month after Ford unveiled an electric version of thepopular F-150,customers had reserved more than 100,000 of them.The price is about$10,000 above the gas-powered one,but Ford says the electric model will cost much lessto maintain.Everything creating a green revolution on the ground is of limited help inthe sky for the time being.High-storage batteries are useless at present when it comes to the technologicalchallenge of launching a few hundred people into the sky and carrying them thousands ofmiles.No battery yet invented can power,say,a Boeing 747 from New York to London.Promising improvements,however,do add up.Developments with zero-emission,battery-powered electric engines are already happening in commercial flight,involvingtrips of limited duration and distance.Airlines specializing in short journeys with smallplanes will lead the way to electric flight.Our planets health depends on zeroing out carbon dioxide emissions by 2050,andyet,by the timetable needed to address the climate challenge,the shift away fromgas-powered vehicles remains far too slow.Nevertheless,the train has left the station.Someday,electric-powered transportation will be as common as air.30.Why are many companies switching to electricity-powered vehicles?A.To reinvent the way we travel.B.To cut the costs of car production.C.To improve the quality of products.D.To pursue sustainable development.31.What do we know about the electric car?A.It came into use a century ago.B.It enjoys increasing popularity.6C.It sells better than the traditional one.D.It costs less than the gas-powered one.32.What does the author intend to do in Paragraph 3?A.To show the disadvantages of battery power.B.To emphasize the significance of short flights.C.To stress the future prospects of electric planes.D.To state the developments of commercial flight.33.What does the author mean by saying“the train has left the station”?A.Train transportation has improved.B.Green transportation is on its way.C.The electric train is running regularly.D.The gas-powered train has become the past.第二节第二节 七选五（共七选五（共 5 小题，每题小题，每题 2.5 分，满分分，满分 12.5
