Cooking programs and classes for children seem to positively influence children's food preferences and behaviors，according to a recent review. And，although the review didn't look at long-term effects of such programs，the findings suggest that such programs might help children develop long-lasting healthy habits.
This research comes at a time when childhood obesity( 肥 胖 ) rates have been rising rapidly. More than one-third of adolescents in the United States were obese in 2012 ， according to the U．S.Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC)．This trend has been caused，at least in part，by a significant decrease in the amount of meals that people consume at home since the 1980s， according to background information in the study.
Cooking education programs，such as Food Explorers，teach children about new healthy foods and how to prepare them. They also stress the importance of eating five fruits and vegetables every day. A volunteer parent explains a new food to the group，and the kids make something based on the lesson，such as fruit or vegetable salad. Depending on the program，kids may be sent home with information about healthy foods to bring to their parents，the review explained.
The study team reviewed eight other studies that tested different types of cooking education programs. Children in these classes were between 5 and 12 years old，according to the review. The goal of the study team was to learn more about developing an efficient program to encourage healthy food choices that last a lifetime. The study found that it is particularly important to expose kids to healthy foods on a number of occasions. This makes them feel comfortable with the new foods，which helps them build healthy habits.
The study stressed the importance of getting parents involved in(参与) their children's eating habits. Parents who are unable to enroll their kids in a cooking class can achieve similar benefits by having their kids help them while they prepare meals at home. Children are more comfortable at home，which makes them more receptive to new foods because they will make the connection to a positive experience. 4. What can we infer from the second paragraph? A. Eating out frequently causes obesity.
B. Childhood obesity is totally caused by eating habit. C. Childhood obesity rates have been rising rapidly since 2012. D. Food consumption has decreased significantly since the 1980s. 5. On cooking education programs，__________． A. children learn how to prepare foods from their parents B. children will learn how to cook in the company of their parents C. children may learn information unknown to their parents
D. children focus more on cooking skills than on information about healthy foods 6. Which of the following categories does this passage belong to? A. Education Systems. C. Parent-child Relationship.
7. The purpose of the passage is_______． A. to inform the reader C. to discuss with the reader
【答案】4. A 5. C 6. D 7. A 【解析】

推理判断题。根据第二段This trend has been caused, at least in part, by a significant decrease in the amount of meals that people consume at home since the 1980s, according to background information in the study.（这项研究的背景资料显示，这种趋势至少部分是由于自上世纪80年代以来，人们在家吃饭的
B. to entertain the reader D. to warn the reader B. Science and Technology. D. Public Health Research.

When Rebecca Saxon was diagnosed with cancer at the young age of 27，she thought her life was over. But in her darkest hour，inspiration struck and she found a way of turning her misfortune into advantage.
Following her cancer treatment， Rebecca launched a successful business “Something Blue Bridal Shoes”—a unique range of wedding footwear，which came out of the fashion pictures she drew while recovering in her hospital bed.
Rebecca，from London，says，“I started designing wedding shoes with blue soles (鞋底) when I was halfway through my cancer treatment. I had a hit when I was diagnosed with cancer but I decided that I was going to pick myself up and fight this cancer. The pictures were my release and the way I got through the many hours spent in a hospital room. I had no idea what was going to happen to me， but I knew I had to be positive if I was going to overcome this treatment. I told myself this was not going to be the end for me. I decided to fight with my negative feelings and start drawing.”
Rebecca had always loved fashion since she was younger. Several of her friends were getting married at the time when she was ill. “So at first，I would be drawing designs for wedding dresses and other clothes. But then I started drawing wedding footwear—designing shoes with blue soles which were very comfortable too. I thought it
would be a lovely way of combining the ‘something old，something new，something borrowed，something blue’ tradition. Drawing really helped me deal with my treatment，” said the brave girl.
With the encouragement of her boyfriend，she turned her dreams into her reality and set up “Something Blue Bridal Shoes” ． Each beautiful shoe has a blue sole ， combining the age-old tradition of what a bride should wear at her wedding for good luck.

The problem of robocalls has gotten so bad that many people now refuse to pick up calls from numbers they don’t know. By next year, half of the calls we receive will be scams(欺诈). We are finally waking up to the severity of the problem by supporting and developing a group of tools, apps and approaches intended to prevent scammers from getting through. Unfortunately, it’s too little, too late. By the time these “solutions”(解决方案) become widely available, scammers will have moved onto cleverer means. In the near future, it’s not just going to be the number you see on your screen that will be in doubt. Soon you will also question whether the voice you’re hearing is actually real.
That’s because there are a number of powerful voice manipulation(处理) and automation technologies that are about to become widely available for anyone to use. At this year’s I/O Conference, a company showed a new voice technology able to produce such a convincing human-sounding voice that it was able to speak to a receptionist and book a reservation without detection.
These developments are likely to make our current problems with robocalls much worse. The reason that robocalls are a headache has less to do with amount than precision. A decade of data breaches(数据侵入) of personal information has led to a situation where scammers can easily learn your mother’s name, and far more. Armed with this knowledge, they’re able to carry out individually targeted campaigns to cheat people. This means, for example, that a scammer could call you from what looks to be a familiar number and talk to you using a voice that sounds exactly like your bank teller’s, tricking you into “confirming” your address, mother’s name, and card number. Scammers follow money, so companies will be the worst hit. A lot of business is still done over the phone, and much of it is based on trust and existing relationships. Voice manipulation technologies may weaken that gradually.
We need to deal with the insecure nature of our telecom networks. Phone carriers and consumers need to work together to find ways of determining and communicating what is real. That might mean either developing a uniform way to mark videos and images, showing when and who they were made by, or abandoning phone calls altogether and moving towards data-based communications—using apps like FaceTime or WhatsApp, which can be tied to your identity.
Credibility is hard to earn but easy to lose, and the problem is only going to get harder from here on out. 12. How does the author feel about the solutions to problem of robocalls? A. Panicked.
B. Confused.
C. Embarrassed.
D. Disappointed.
13. Taking advantage of the new technologies, scammer can ________. A. aim at victims precisely C. start campaigns rapidly 14. What does the passage imply? A. Honesty is the best policy. B. Technologies can be double-edged. C. There are more solutions than problems. D. Credibility holds the key to development.
15. Which of the following would be the best title for the passage? A. Where the Problem of Robocalls Is Rooted B. Who Is to Blame for the Problem of Robocalls C. Why Robocalls Are About to Get More Dangerous D. How Robocalls Are Affecting the World of Technology 【答案】12. D 13. A 14. B 15. C 【解析】
这是一篇说明文。文章指出语音操作与自动化技术的出现使得机器人电话可以以假乱真，欺诈现象更加严
B. damage databases easily D. spread information widely
重，解决这个问题需要电话运营商和消费者共同努力。 【12题详解】
推理判断题。根据第一段中的We are finally waking up to the severity of the problem by supporting and developing a group of tools, apps and approaches intended to prevent scammers from getting through. Unfortunately, it’s too little, too late. By the time these “solutions”(解决方案) become widely available, scammers will have moved onto cleverer means.可知，我们认识到了问题的严重性，支持和开发了旨在防止欺诈者通过的工具、应用程序和方法，。不幸的是，我们的努力太少了，也太晚了。在这些“解决方案”被广泛使用的时候，骗子将转移到更巧妙的手段上。由此推知，作者认为这些“解决办法”对于解决问题起不了什么作用，因此作者感到很“失望”。故D选项正确。 【13题详解】
细节理解题。根据第三段中The reason that robocalls are a headache has less to do with amount than precision. A decade of data breaches(数据侵入) of personal information has led to a situation where scammers can easily learn your mother’s name, and far more. Armed with this knowledge, they’re able to carry out individually targeted campaigns to cheat people. This means, for example, that a scammer could call you from what looks to be a familiar number and talk to you using a voice that sounds exactly like your bank teller’s, tricking you into “confirming” your address, mother’s name, and card number.可知，机器人通话之所以令人头痛，与其说与数量有关，不如说与精确度有关。长达十年的个人信息泄露已经导致了这样一种情况：骗子可以轻易地知道你母亲的名字，甚至更多。有了这些知识，他们就能够开展有针对性的活动来欺骗人们。根据这些可知，利用这种新的技术，欺诈者们可以精确的确定他们行骗的目标。故A选项正确。 【14题详解】
推理判断题。根据第二段最后一句At this year’s I/O Conference, a company showed a new voice technology able to produce such a convincing human-sounding voice that it was able to speak to a receptionist and book a reservation without detection.可知，这项语音技术可以产生一个听起来和人类非常相似的声音，它可以和接待员进行交谈，进行预订。由此可知，这项新技术有其好的方面。根据第三段的叙述可知，欺诈者们可以利用这项新技术来进行欺诈行为。由此推知，这项新技术既可以发挥好的作用，也可能为坏人所利用，产生不好的影响，因此可以说它是一把双刃剑。故B选项正确。 【15题详解】
的主旨大意题。第一段提到：robocalls（机器人电话：自动拨号播放录音信息的推销电话）在未来变得会越来越严重，不仅仅是出现在你的手机屏幕上的电话号码令人怀疑，而且你会质疑听到的声音是否是真的。第二段介绍原因：语音操作与自动化技术的出现使得机器人电话可以以假乱真。第三段介绍了语音操作和自动化技术发展会使得机器人电话产生的问题更加严重。最后两段提出我们该如何应对这些问题。综上，文章第一段点明文章中心：机器人电话问题在未来会变得越来越严重。下文都是围绕这一话题展开的。故C选项适合作标题。
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。
The first Thursday in May is World Password Day, but don’t buy a cake or send cards. Computer chip maker Intel created the event as an annual reminder. ____16____.
The purpose of a password is to limit access to information. Having a very common or simple one like “abcdef” or even normal words like “password”, is barely any security at all. ____17____. Hackers’ password cracking tools take advantage of this lack of creativity and get in our accounts easily. More experienced users would choose a less common password. However, they might still fall victim to cracking software.
___18___? A secure password is all that stands between us and a cybercriminal. It should be unique and complex, which a hacker can’t easily guess or crack. The best passwords are supposed to be at least 15 characters long and full of random numbers and letters. However, a long password means a complicated process to log into a website. ____19____. You may want to write it down, but it is not suggested due to risk.
Then what should we do? ____20____. You can choose a phrase such as “I want to go to England.” Next, convert it to an abbreviation (缩略语) by using the first letters of each word and changing the word “to” to “2”. Then you get following password phrase: iw2g2e. You can make it even more complex by adding punctuation, spaces or symbols: %iw_2g2e!@. It is much easier to remember and safer.
Can’t wait to try? Let’s say goodbye to “666666” and change your password right now. A. What do network security experts do B. Try using shortened phrases for passwords
C. How can we ensure the safety of a password D. Changing password regularly is an effective way E. That is like closing a door but not actually locking it F. It is used to say farewell to popular passwords like “123456” G. And it is also difficult for us to remember a long irregular password 【答案】16. F 17. E 18. C 19. G 20. B 【解析】
本文是一篇说明文。文章介绍了安全密码的设置。 【16题详解】
”承接上文，F项It is used to say farewell to 上文提示“电脑芯片制造商英特尔(Intel)将此次活动作为年度提醒。
popular passwords like “123456”（它被用来告别像“123456”这样的流行密码）切题。故选F。 【17题详解】
”上文提示“拥有一个非常常见或简单“abcdef”，甚至像“password”这样的普通单词，几乎没有任何安全性。承接上文，E项That is like closing a door but not actually locking it（这就像关了一扇门，但实际上并没有锁上）切题。故选E。 【18题详解】
此空应该是一个特殊疑问句，所以在A/C中选。再根据下文提示“一个安全的密码是我们和网络罪犯之间唯一的屏障。”可知，C项How can we ensure the safety of a password（如何确保密码的安全性）切题。故选C。 【19题详解】
上文提示“然而，长密码意味着登录网站的过程很复杂。”承接上文，G项 And it is also difficult for us to remember a long irregular password（我们也很难记住一个长而不规则的密码）切题。该项中的also将上下句连在一起。故选G。 【20题详解】
下文提示“你可以选择像“我想去英国”这样的短语。”承接下文，B项Try using shortened phrases for passwords
的（尝试使用缩写短语作为密码）切题。故选B。

文章讲述了学生们练习汉字书写的重要性。

2.考查动词时态。此处表示客观事实，与全文时态一致用一般现在时。故preferred—prefer. 3.考查冠词。表示“一种时间的浪费”是a waste of time，“一种”用冠词a，故在waste前加a. 4.考查连词。在英语中表示“虽然…但是…”的连词不能同时使用，开头使用了Though，故删除but. 5.考查副词。句意：虽然电脑很方便，但书写在现代世界中仍然扮演着重要的角色。此外，漂亮的书法给别人留下了很好的印象。beside “在……旁边”，表示“此外”是besides.故Beside – Besides. 6.考查介词。“给某人留下好印象”是make a good impression on sb.介词用on,故in – on.
7.考查动词形式。句意：这表明你对(做)事情的态度。attitude to sth.或attitude to doing sth.其中to是介词，后用动词-ing形式。故do--doing 或删除do.
8.考查名词。此处指汉字是非常美丽的且富含文化，泛指“汉字”且与谓语are一致，主语用复数。故Character- -characters.
9.考查副词。此处修饰动词形式written用副词，指整洁书写的文章，故neat—neatly.
10.考查代词。与句中As for me一致，此处指对我来说，当阅读一篇整洁的文章时，就会感到高兴和放松。指“我”，故you – I.
