At 12, my father decided to take me on a trip to France. I had never been out of the country before, so I was
very excited. My aunt, my father and I went around with my father showing us all the unbelievable sites in Paris.
None of us spoke much French but we loved the city.
We had taken the subway all over the city and were congratulating ourselves on our mastering what is honestly
an excellent subway design that is pretty easy to follow. We decided to visit Versailles by train. We chatted happily
along the way until my father realized we were far into the French countryside and no one around spoke English.
We reached the end of the line and felt afraid when everyone finally left the train. An old man and his
grandchild noticed us and came to help. He spoke no English, so in broken French we tried to explain. When he
finally understood, this great man settled his grandson and showed us to the correct train and then boarded with us.
Later we knew the truth that there was a train transfer ( 转乘) and he didn't want us to miss it. This kind man
rode a train for an hour and a half out of his way to make sure that three Americans got where they wanted to be. He
refused to let us pay for his ticket. He did it all with a gentle smile and patted our hands gently at the stop. Then in
his quiet way, he boarded the train to return the way he had come.
What impressed me most was the man and his kindness during the amazing trip. Some Americans think the
French are rude for some reason, but I always try to persuade them to change their minds with this very story.
4. What happened to the author and his family on the train?
A. They couldn't understand the signs of the train.
B. They failed to get off the train at the right time.
C. They had different opinions about where to go first.
D. They found it hard to communicate with the French.
5. How did the man help the author and his family?
A. He paid for their train tickets. B. He showed them the returning way.
C. He invited them to travel together. D. He led them to their place.
6. Which of the following can best describe the last paragraph?
A. Seeing is believing. B. Being kind is a good manner.
C. Travelling enriches one's life. D. Helping others brings great pleasure.
7. What's the purpose of the author's writing the text?
A. To explain an unexpected problem.
B. To list the unbelievable sites in Paris.
C. To share an unforgettable foreign experience.
D. To show the importance of mastering a foreign language.
C
Fresh fruit juice has become increasingly popular in many diets - especially among those consumers who are
pressed for time and concerned about their health. Fruit juice has also been linked to beliefs that it can help people
lose weight. But is juicing really as healthy as we think?
A recent study reveals hard truths about fruit juice.
All fruits contain sugars and don’t seem to have harmful effects unless they contribute to extra daily calories.
This is because the fiber (纤维) which is found in whole fruit is undamaged, and the sugar is contained within the
fruit’s cells. It takes our digestive system a while to break these cells down and for sugar to enter the bloodstream.
This is not the case with fruit juice. Different from whole fruit, the natural sugar in fruit juice counts as “free
sugars”, just like honey and added sugars. With the fiber removed, fruit juice’s sugar is absorbed more quickly. A
sudden rise of blood sugar causes the pancreas (胰腺) to release insulin (胰岛素) to bring it back down to a normal
level. Over time, this system can wear out, increasing the risk of developing type-2 diabetes (糖尿病).
In 2013, after analysing the health data of 100,000 people collected between 1986 and 2009, researchers found
that fruit juice consumption was linked with increased risk of type-2 diabetes. They’ve concluded that even when
fruit juice is similar in the nutrition ( 营 养 ) to whole fruit, fruit juice leads to faster and larger changes in insulin
levels since liquids pass through the stomach faster than solids.
“Although fruit juice is better than no fruit at all, there are lots of limits,” said Dr.Amy Smith, professor of
medicine at the University of Virginia. “It particularly comes with risks when we consume more than 150 ml of free
sugars per day, or when it puts us over our recommended calorie intake. It provides us with vitamins - but fruit juice
is far from a quick fix.”
8. What leads to the increasing fruit juice popularity?
A. Experts’ recommendation. B. Its obvious medical effects.
C. Its assumed benefits to health. D. People’s improved life quality.
9. Why is whole fruit healthier?
A. It provides better nutrition. B. Its fiber slows sugar absorption.
C. It protects our digestive system. D. Its fiber helps remove extra sugar.
10. How did researchers draw the conclusion in 2013?
A. By observing the blood sugar level. B. By comparing liquid and solid intake.
C. By analysing previously collected data. D. By interviewing type-2 diabetes patients.
11. What is Dr. Smith’s attitude to fruit juice?
A. Positive. B. Negative. C. Objective. D. Unclear.
D
The success of Blue Origin’s space tourism flights has caused concerns among the public. Many say it is a rich
person’s game that is unnecessary when Earth badly needs help.
For Jane Smith, co-founder of Space View, the industry is not preventing Earth from help, but helping its
residents better understand their world.
“Space exploration has played an important role in forming our understanding of our planet,” Smith said in an
interview. “The most downloaded image in history is Earthrise that was taken in 1968 by Apollo astronauts as they
circled the moon. Taking the photo was not on their schedule of activities but they were so struck by the scene that
they rushed to record it. That one photograph helped humanity see Earth as a planet in space, and inspired an
environmental movement.”
Space View, founded in 2019, is a firm using a giant balloon to send humans into the stratosphere ( 平流层). It
is designing a luxurious capsule (豪华太空舱) that fits six passengers, who can relax in seats or enjoy a snack while
flying 20 miles above Earth.
Smith explained that eventually, millions of people will have exciting space experience. Tickets for a ride
through Space View currently run $125,000 a seat, but Smith said the “long-term vision is to bring the price down
significantly”. “A ticket price of, say, $30,000—$840,000 would make the space trip affordable to many millions of
people,” she added.
