French castles to visit. You’ll surely want to visit one of them during your travels in France.

Versailles Castle
The Versailles Castle is about 20km southwest of Paris. When the castle was built,
Versailles was a small village. Today, however, it is a famous area in Paris. The castle was
originally built as a small hunting lodge (乡间小屋) for Louis XIII in the 1620s.Years later, he
made it bigger. Later, Louis ⅩⅣ also made it larger, making it one of the largest palaces of
the world.
Chambord Castle
The Chambord Castle is one of the largest castles around the world. It sits in the Loire
Valley. Being at the heart of Europe’s largest enclosed wooded park, Chambord, it was built
for King Francis I to serve as a hunting lodge. It is one of the most well-known castles in the

Chenonceau Castle
As one of the most famous castles in the Loire Valley, the castle was built during the 11th
century on the River Cher. It was passed through many hands. The castle was not destroyed
during the French Revolution because it was the only bridge across the river for many miles.
Chantilly Castle
This historic castle sits in the town of Chantilly, France. This beautiful castle is made up
of two buildings: the Petit Château built around 1560 for Anne de Montmorency, and the
Grand Château which was destroyed during the French Revolution and rebuilt in the 1870s.

Public Health England (PHE) is targeting pizzas, ready meals, ready meat and takeaways.
The government has also required the food industry to start using healthier foods and
encourage the public to choose lower-calorie foods.
It is all part of an effort to diminish calorie intake by 20% by 2024. The aim will point to
13 different food groups. If action is not taken, PHE said, it would be prepared to ask the
government to pass laws.
PHE would be strictly monitoring progress by looking at which products people were
buying and would be prepared to punish companies which do not take their duties. The
government is also organizing a program encouraging adults to consume () 400 calories
at breakfast and 600 calories each at lunch and dinner. At present, adults consume between
200 and 300 calories more than they should each day. PHE chief nutritionist Dr. Alison
Tedstone said the 400 600 600 tip would make it easier for people to make healthier
choices.
How many calories should we eat? It is suggested that women eat no more than 2,000
calories a day, while men should limit their intake to 2,500 calories. For children, it depends
on age. A four-year-old should consume no more than 1,300 calories, while for teens aged 17
and 18, it is about 3,000 calories, but overweight children are eating up to 500 calories more
than that.
Prof Russell Viner, President of the Royal College of Paediatrics and Child Health, said it
was a necessary move. He said, “Over the past 40 years, there has been a slow growth in food
sizes, with pizzas and hamburgers simply much bigger than they were in our parents’ time.”
The convenience of fast food at pocket money prices and the advertisement of unhealthy
foods and drinks to children add to the problem.
24. What does the underlined word “diminish” in Paragraph 2 mean?
A. Encourage B. decrease C. Contain D. Balance
25. What will happen to a company producing high-calorie foods?
A. It will be punished by PHE. B. It will have to pay extra money.
C. It will be forced to stop producing foods.
D. It will be asked to throw away all the foods.
26. Who should take in the most calories according to Paragraph 4?
A. Adult men B. Adult women C. Children aged 4 D. Teens aged 18
27. What can be learned from Prof Russell Viners words?
A. The calorie intake needs to be controlled.
B. The growth of food sizes meets people’s need.
C. The fast food should be chosen for its convenience.
D. The problem about higher-calorie foods will be solved.
C
Mammoth Cave National Park, in the state of Kentucky, is a unique and historical natural
wonder. It has the world’s longest cave system. There may be another 600 miles of cave
passageways that have yet to be explored. In addition, more than 200 caves that are
disconnected from the larger system can be found in the park.
The underground caves were created naturally by the process of limestone ( 石 灰 岩 )
erosion. Rain and rivers slowly dissolve () and shape soft limestone. The system is still
being shaped today. Not only are they an amazing destination to visit, but the system also
provides drinking water for about 40% of the US population.
The caves’ first explorers were Native Americans, who mined () the upper levels of
Mammoth Cave. Later, the sites were left in great shape and began to draw public interest.
Mammoth Cave was made into a national park thanks to strong support. Back in the
1920s, the Southern Appalachian National Park Commission was set up in 1925. After years
of work, as well as building roads and public facilities, the park was completed on July 1,
1941.
The park now receives around 2 million visitors a year, with about a quarter taking a tour
of the caves—everything from a cultural tour to the more adventurous tours on offer. The cave
supports more than 130 wildlife species (物种). The park is also much more than just a cave;
the forest around has a diverse () range of species. There are miles of trails open
for horseback riding, with canoe trails and great fishing spots. There are also more than 1,300
flowering species in the forest, and animals like wood warblers, thrushes, and bald eagles can
regularly be seen.
28. What can we learn about Mammoth Cave from the first two paragraphs?
A. It was made by ancient people. B. It has the length of 600 miles.
C. It is made up of 200 connected caves. D. It has a large underground system.
29. How do the caves form?
A. Explorers mine the upper levels. B. The government searches for drinkable water.
C. Water dissolves limestone. D. People build roads and public facilities.
30. What can we learn from the last paragraph?
A. More than 1,300 flowers grow in the caves.
B. The park offers visitors diverse experiences.
C. Most visitors come to the park just for caves.
D. Two million people have visited the park till now.
31. What is the best title for the text?
A. Planning cave tours around the world
B. Exploring the world’s longest cave system
C. Learning about the explorers of Mammoth Cave
D. Predicting the future of Mammoth Cave National Park
D
Why Do Millennials (千禧一代) Keep Changing Jobs?
Millennials have been labelled as the “job-hopping generation”. In fact, a recent survey
showed that 49% of millennials would leave their job within the next two years! Observers
from older generations may think it is caused by the youth’s laziness. However, if we search
deeper, there is more than meets the eye.
Instead of the traditional and practical reasons of changing jobs, such as to get better
salaries or greater job stability ( ), many millennials are inspired by value-driven goals.
For example, more have to seek new opportunities whenever they lack a sense of belonging in
their present jobs. Additionally, some also leave their positions for companies which better
suit their value system. Therefore, it is clear that many millennials do not only consider their
jobs as a source of income, but in fact, seek meaning and professional achievement in their
daily jobs.
Clearly, the fearlessness of millennials in seeking job opportunities has been inspired by
new business models. With the rise of online platforms, millennials who prefer work-life
balance and flexibility have been attracted towards such jobs. Moreover, the increase of social
media has also created more career paths. From food and travel bloggers to YouTube content
creators, more millennials are leaving boring desk-bound jobs to look for more untraditional,
but certainly attractive, careers.
However, people have different opinions on job-hopping. While some employers value
rich experience and skills that job-hopping brings about, many of them still look down upon
job-hopping. Some even argue in disappointment that the youths of today are lazy, unable to
bear hardships and too self-centered.
The former American President Jimmy Carter once said, “Human identity is no longer
defined () by what one does but by what one owns.” Indeed, his comment still rings true
today. Rather than allow traditional models of success in society to define our youths, the
millennial generation should be encouraged to define new horizons of success by making the
right career choices guided by the right values.
32. Why are Millennials more likely to move to new jobs?
A. Because they are unwilling to work very hard.
B. Because they want to realize their self-worth.
C. Because they hate pressure from present jobs.
D. Because they need higher income and position.
33. What does the author want to show in Paragraph 3?
A. The rapid development of social media promotes new career paths.
B. There are fewer professions available to Millennials on the Internet.
C. There are factors contributing to Millennials’ flexible job-changing.
D. The tiring and boring jobs prevent Millennials staying in one position.
34. What may those against job-changing think of Millennials?
A. Courageous and noble. B. Lazy and self-centered.
C. Anxious and unconfident. D. Creative and hard-working.
35. What is the authors attitude towards Millennials’ career choice?
A. Negative. B. Doubtful. C. Positive. D. Concerned.

Best Way to Lose Weight-Dieting Tips
How do you eat right to lose weight fast? You’ll discover there are a great number of
weight loss diets which promise to help you drop the pounds fast. ____ 3 6____
Many weight loss diets are aimed at losing weight fast, but aren’t necessarily healthy and
won’t create a long-term change for the better. ____ 3 7____ That means you’ll choose a diet
which doesn’t cut out any necessary nutrients ( 养 物 ). Most diets suggest that you stop
eating fat or carbs ( 碳水化合物). ___ 3 8____ You’ll need to make clear of your own body
type before making a diet plan. You might also need to try different ways before finding the
best way.
If you just need to shake a few pounds off in a short time, your plan won’t be the same as
one to lose weight in the long term. The best short-term weight loss plan will be stronger than
the best long-term weight loss plan, but both of them shouldn’t get rid of necessary nutrition.
____ 3 9____ Your body will go into “starvation mode” and your metabolism (新陈代谢) will
slow down. As a result your body will keep more weight.
____ 4 0____ Spread out your meals evenly throughout the day. Any larger meals should
be eaten earlier in the day. That gives your body more time and opportunity to burn calories. If
you eat a lot before bed, those calories won’t burn but become fat.
A. But do they really work?
B. Once you start your plan, you shouldn’t stop.
C. In fact many people feel it hard to lose weight.
D. Besides, you also should pay attention to when you eat.
E. The best way to lose weight should be useful in the long term.
F. While this may help some people, there is no plan that is perfect for all.
G. If you try to make yourself hungry, you won’t achieve long-term results.
