Answer the questions below each text by choosing A, B, C or D. Mark your answers on the ANSWER SHEET. (40 points)Text 1People have grown taller over the last century, with South Korean women shooting up by more than 20cm on average, and Iranian men gaining 16.5cm. A global study looked at the average height of 18-year-olds in 200 countries 1914 and 2014. The results show that while Swedes were the tallest people in the world in 1914, Dutch men have risen from 12th place to claim top spot with an average height of 182.5cm. Larvian women, meanwhile, rose from 28th place in 1914 to become the tallest in the world a century later, with an average height of 169.8cm. James Bentham, a co-author of the research says the global trend is likely but once you average over whole populations, genetics plays a less key role/ he added.But while height has increased around the world, the trend in many countries of north and sub-Saharan Africa causes concern, says Elio Riboli of Imperial College. While height increased in Uganda and Niger during the early 20th century, the trend has reversed in recent years, with height decreasing among 18-year-olds.“One reason for these decreases in height is the economic situation in the 1980s J said Professor Alexander. The nutritional and health problems that followed the policy of structural adjustment, he says, led to many children and teenagers failing to reach their full potential in terms of height.Bentham believes the global trend of increasing height has important implications. "How tall we are now is strongly influenced by the environment we grew up in," he said. HIf we give children the best possible start in life now, they will be healthier and more productive for decades to come.”1、What can be learned from Paragraph I?A. The increase in women's height is much bigger than men's in the last century.B. The last century has seen a great increase in people's height in most countries.C. Genetics plays a key role in the increase of people's height in the last century.D. Dutch and Swedes are ranked first and second in height in the world nowadays.2、The underlined word "reversed” in Paragraph 2 can be replaced by.A. slowed down. B. gone upwards. C. changed to the contrary. D. come to life again.3、 According to the text,James Bentham suggests that.A. The economic situation of some countries should be improved.B. Environment protection should be attached great importance to.C. The global trend of increasing height should be closely watched.D. Children's proper nutrition and healthcare should be guaranteed.Text 2Tiny Countries You Never knew ExistedSao Tome and principeSao Tome and Principe off Africa's west coast is only 372 square miles, but it has Impressive, undamaged nature, rich in biodiverse species.

Researchers at UCLA want to see how sedentary behavior (sitting for long periods of time) influences the health of the brain, especially regions of the brain that are important to memory formation.UCLA researchers gathered 35 people aged 45 to 75 and asked about their physical activity levels and the average number of hours per day they spent sitting over the previous work. Each person had a high-resolution MRI (热分辨磁共振成像)scan, which provides a detailed look at the medial temporal lobe, or MTL, a bruin region involved in the formation of new memories.The researchers found that sedentary behavior is an important predictor of thinning of the MTL and that physical activity, even at high levels, is mil enough to compensate the harmful effects of silting for long periods.“This study does not prove that too much sitting causes thinner brain structures, but instead that more hours spent sitting are associated with thinner regions J researchers said. In addition, the researchers focused on the hours spent sitting, but did not ask participants if they took breaks during this time.The researchers next hope to follow a group of people for a longer duration to determine if sitting cause the tinning and what role gender（'性月ij）, race, and weight might play in bruin health related to silting.“MTL thinning can be an indication of cognitive （认知的）decline in middle-aged and older adults. Reducing sedentary behavior may be a possible target for measures designed to improve bruin health in people at risk fbr Alzheimer's disease,“ researchers said.1、What is the study done by UCLA mainly intended to find out?A. What harm sitting too much causes.B. Why silting too much is like smoking.C. How too much sitting affects brain health.D. Whether too much sitting causes early death2、 Participants were scanned by a high-resolution MRI to .A. evaluate their memory lossB. examine their MTL conditionsC. record their physical activity levelsD. record the length of lime for their sitting3、What do UCLA researchers think of their study?A. It in a great success.B. It is little practical value.C. It must target the young.D. It still needs to be improved.4、What can be the best title for the text?A. Long Sitting Is Bad for Your BrainB How to Improve Brain HealthC. Sitting Causes Many Health ProblemD. An Easy Way to Prevent Memory LossText 4There's a song by the great Jamaican singer Bob Marley called So Much Trouble In The World. Marley understood that part of the reason why there are so many problems in the world is the lack of tolerance between people. The UN understands this toothafs why it made Nov 16th "International Day fbr Tolerance”.But first of all, what is tolerance? According to French philosopher Voltaire, tolerance is the consequence of humanity. We are all formed of frailty （脆弱）and error; let us pardon each other's foolthat is the first law of nature.Very often, people don't realize that they're intolerant. This is because intolerance has a lot to do with ignorance. For example, the UN's campaign is in part about the treatment of females by males. But often, the behavior of men toward women is intolerant because men don't put themselves in the shoes of women.It's worth thinking a little about the words “tolerance” and “intolerance”. Are they the best words to describe the evils of which we're speaking here? To agree to be "tolerant“ of someone isn't necessarily a very respectful thing. When someone is tolerated, it implies that there's something wrong with them.Still, what Voltaire said stands: We humans are not perfect and this weakness is something that we all share. That's the reason we should be tolerant. It's a little like generosity. We can give things to another person, and we can also give our forgiveness.1、Whafs the purpose of the UN "International Day For Tolerance"?A. To arouse people's awareness of tolerance among people.B . To celebrate the founding of the UN.C. To solve the problem of global warming.D. To change peopled opinion towards globalization.2、Why do men behave intolerantly towards women?A. Because men don't realize the purpose of the UN.B. Because men are physically stronger than women.C. Because men don't appreciate the shoes of women.D. Because men are not willing to understand women.3、Why is it meaningless to use the words “tolerance” and “intolerance”？A. Because they are hard to pronounce in English.B. Because they don't express the exact meaning people refer to.C. Because they can't be translated into other languages.D. Because they can't be used in a respectful way.4、In what sense is “tolerance“ similar to “generosity”?A. Humans are advised to treat others better.B. Humans leant to find faults in others.C. Humans need to give something to others.D. Humans will change their attitudes to others.Part BDirections:Read the following text and answer the questions by choosing the most suitable subheading from the list A -G for each numbered paragraph (41 - 45).
