As people across the globe struggled with higher levels of stress，depression and anxiety this
past year，many turned to their favorite comfort foods: ice cream，pizza，hamburgers.But studies
in recent years suggest that the highsugar and highfat foods eaten when we are stressed or
depressed ， as comforting as they may seem ， are the least likely to benefit our mental
health.Instead，whole foods such as vegetables，fruit，fish，eggs，nuts may be a better bet.
Historically，nutrition research has focused largely on how the foods we eat affect our
physical health，rather than our mental health，though.Over the years，large population studies
have found that people assigned to follow a Mediterranean diet for three months had greater
reductions in symptoms of depression after three months compared to a control group.
Public health experts around the world have started encouraging people to adopt lifestyle
behaviors like exercise，sound sleep，a hearthealthy diet and avoiding smoking that may reduce
inflammation(发炎) and have benefits for the brain.Individual clinicians are already including
nutrition into their work with patients.Dr.Drew Ramsey，a clinical professor at the Columbia
University，begins his meetings with new patients by exploring their diets.He asks what they eat，
learns their favorite foods，and finds out if foods that he considers important for the connection are
missing from their diets，such as plants，seafood.
Dr.Ramsey said he does not want people to think that the only factor involved in brain health
is food.“Lots of people get their food exactly right，live very active lives，and still have
significant troubles with their mental health，”he said.But he also teaches people that food can be
empowering.“We can’t control our genes，”he said.“But we can control how we eat，and
that gives people actionable things that they can do to take care of their brain health on a daily
basis.”
4．What do previous nutrition studies mainly focus on?
A．How our diets affect our mental health.
B．How our diets affect our physical health.C．How our mental health affects our diets.
D．How our physical health affects our diets.
5．Why are individual clinicians including nutrition into their work with patients?
A．They try to cater to their patients’ needs.
B．They are questioning public health experts.
C．They want to prove the effectiveness of healthy diets.
D．They have accepted the findings of large population studies.
6．Which of the following might Dr.Ramsey agree with?
A．Some connection exists between our diets and mental health.
B．People can control their genes as well as how they eat.
C．People living active lives will not have mental problems.
D．Eating a healthy diet is going to cure depression.
7．What is the main idea of the text?
A．People with anxiety usually turn to food for comfort.
B．The daily diet is the only factor connected with brain health.
C．Controlling the way we eat is likely to benefit our mental health.
D．Having a highsugar diet can reduce symptoms of depression.

Scientists in Australia are testing printed solar panels to power a Tesla on a 15,100kilometer
journey beginning in September，which they hope will get the public thinking about steps to help
prevent climate change.
The Charge Around Australia (CAA) project will power a Tesla electric car with 18 of the
team’s printed plastic solar panels，each 18 meters long，rolling them out beside the vehicle to
absorb sunlight when it needs a charge.
Paul Dastoor，the inventor of the printed solar panels，said the University of Newcastle team
would be testing not only the endurance of the panels but their potential performance for other
applications.“This is actually an ideal test bed to give us information about how we would go
about using and powering technology in other remote locations ， for example ， in
space，”Dastoor told Reuters in the town of Gosforth，north of Sydney.
The printed solar panel is a lightweight，laminated(层压的) plastic that can be made at a cost
of less than $10 a square meter.The panels are made on a commercial printer originally used for
printing wine labels.
Dastoor said using the panels to power a car would get Australians to think more about electric
vehicles and could help ease their “range anxiety”．The community is seeking these sorts of
answers to the problems it’s being faced with，day in，day out，around climate change.
On their 84day Tesla journey，the team plans to visit about 70 schools to give students a taste
of what the future may hold.Asked what Elon Musk，CEO and founder of Tesla Inc TSLA.O，might say about the CAA project ， Dastoor said he hoped he would be pleased.CAA was
“showing how our innovative technology is now combining with his developments to develop
new solutions for the planet”，Dastoor said.
8．What can we learn about the printed solar panel?
A．It weighs a lot.
B．It can be rolled and carried.
C．It can be used at any time of a day.
D．It has been applied to power gas cars.
9．What is “range anxiety”in paragraph 5 probably about?
A．The climate is getting worse.
B．The solar panels are too long.
C．The solar panels are expensive.
D．The endurance of the panels is poor.
10．What can be inferred from the last paragraph?
A．Musk is pleased with the CAA project.
B．Students are positive about their own future.
C．The electric car lasts 84 days on a single charge.
D．The CCA team and Musk are making efforts for climate changes.
11．Which can be the best title for the text?
A．A New Test on Tesla
B．A New Discovery in Space
C．A Breakthrough in Solar Panels
D．A Concern for Climate Changes
Ⅱ.七选五
Kenny Eating House is always crowded in the late afternoons right up to midnight.You will
see many people standing around the tables. 1 Once there is the slightest indication that the
customers are leaving their table，you will see a few people diving for it.The victor will stand at
the table proudly waving his relatives or friends over，while the losers will be down in the mouth.
2 You next have to get the attention of the busy waiters rushing about to attend to the
customers.You will usually hear the words “hot water”being shouted out as they pass，even if
they are not holding any such thing! 3 In between trying to catch the attention of the waiters
and looking through the menu，you will hear customers complaining about the slow service.
Once the waiter comes to take your orders，he is impatient.Sometimes，these waiters would
just walk away from indecisive customers and the latter would have to work hard at getting some
attention again.Usually，the waiters shout the orders out to the cooks located deep in the kitchen.

Whenever the crowd gets too thick，the waiters will ask customers to share their tables withthose standing.When the tables are shared by two different groups of people ，the loudness
becomes incredibly deafening.With plates clanking and people talking loudly，you need to shout
