Finding fruits and vegetables at your typical grocery store that have been grown without the extensive
use of pesticides can be difficult. Fortunately, The Environmental Working Group (EWG) has done all of
the work for you in finding healthy and pesticide-free produce.
EWG has created the 2018 Shopper’s Guide to Pesticides in Produce, which helps shoppers to find
uncontaminated produce. Many consumers do not realize that pesticide residues (残留) are very common
on conventionally grown produce products, even after they have been washed or peeled. Because of this,
EWG has created their series of guides to lead consumers to safer food choices.
In order to create these guides, EWG analyzed the USDA pesticides tests, which found a total of 230
different pesticides and pesticides breakdown products on thousands of produce samples. Analyzing this
information, EWG observed the big differences of the amount of pesticides found from product to product.
The guide’s two main components are two compiled lists highlighting the cleanest and dirtiest produce
concerning pesticides. These two lists, Dirty Dozen and Clean Fifteen, show consumers how certain foods
continue to carry trace amounts of pesticides with them all the way to the grocery store shelves, while
others make it to your kitchen virtually pesticide-free.
Some of the highlights from their analyses included the following findings: 第二次段考 第3页 共 10 页
• More than one-third of strawberry samples analyzed in 2016 contained 10 or more pesticide residues
and breakdown products.
• Spinach(菠菜)samples had, on average, almost twice as much pesticide residue by weight compared
to any other crop.
• No single fruit sample from the Clean Fifteen tested positive for more than four pesticides.
“With EWG’s guide, consumers can fill their fridges and fruit bowls with plenty of healthy
conventional and organic produce that isn’t contaminated with multiple pesticide residue,” said Sonya
Lunder, a senior analyst in EWG.
Only 25 years ago, the National Academy of Sciences raised concerns about exposure to poisonous
pesticides in our food, yet consumers still consume a mixture of pesticides every day in America.
4.Why did EWG create the 2018 Shopper’s Guide to Pesticides in Produce?
A.To analyze the USDA pesticides tests. B.To advertise organic produce.
C.To warn some food companies. D.To help consumers make safer choices.
5. What is the result from the analysis of the USDA pesticides tests?
A.All the samples are polluted. B.230 pesticides are banned.
C.Pesticide amounts vary in products. D.All strawberries are poisonous.
6.Where are shoppers most likely to find spinach?
A.Dirty Dozen list. B.Organic food advertisement.
C.Clean Fifteen list. D.healthier food list.
7.What can be inferred from the last two paragraphs?
A.All conventional produce is safe. B.No pesticides were used on crops 25 years ago.
C.consumers never worry about pesticides. D.Produce safety remains a problem.
D
Scientists have discovered why the Mona Lisa’s expression looks so different to different people and
at different times.
For centuries, art lovers and critics have been confused by and debated the Leonardo Da Vinci
painting’s gaze and slight smile.
But new research from the University of California, San Francisco has shed new light on the shining
and seemingly changing face of the Mona Lisa.
Through experiments, they discovered that our emotions really do change how we see a neutral (中性
的)face.
Dr Erika Siegel and her colleagues study how our emotions change our perceptions(感知)of the
world around us-even when we aren’t aware that something has changed our feelings.
This relies on the modern theory of ‘the brain as a predictive organ, instead of a reactive one, ’ says Dr
Siegel. 第二次段考 第4页 共 10 页
In other words, ‘we have a lifetime of experience and we use those experiences to predict what we are
going to experience next.’
We all have one dominant(支配的)eye and one more passive non-dominant one. If each eye is
receiving different information, we only consciously perceive what dominant one sees. But non-dominant
sights can still enter our subconscious.
They showed 43 people two sets of flashing images at the same time, so that the dominant eye saw
and registered neutral expressions, while the non-dominant eye ‘saw’ flashes of neutral, or smiling faces,
which they would only subconsciously be aware of.
After viewing the flashing faces, the researchers showed the participants options of faces and asked
them to pick out which ones they had seen.
When their non-dominant eyes had seen a happy face, they were more likely to think the neutral face
had actually been smiling, and the same was true for other expressions.
This means that ‘if you see the Mona Lisa after you have just had a screaming fight with your husband,
you’re going to see the painting differently,’ says Dr Siegel.
‘But if you’re having the time of your life at the Louvre, you’re going to see the mysterious smile,’ she
adds.
‘We are the architects of our own experience. Our brain makes predictions about what it expects to see
and uses information from the world to update its expectations,’ Dr Siegel says.
8.What is the purpose of Dr Erika Siegel’s research?
A.To win a debate.
B.To help appreciate the Mona Lisa.
C.To tell a smiling face from a neutral face.
D.To discover why people perceive the same thing differently.
9.Which of the following is the closest in meaning to “shed new light” in Paragraph 3?
A.Made something bright. B.Provided new explanations.
C.Added light-colored paints. D.Increased amount of natural light.
10.Why did the researchers show the participants two sets of flashing images?
A.To play a game.
B.To confuse their dominant and non-dominant eyes.
C.To strengthen the effect of the non-dominant eyes.
D.To provide images of more expressions.

Dear Rudyard Kipling,
Father has consistently tried to instill(灌输) a sense of being a man in me ever since I was very young.
When I reached the age of twelve he began taking me to his auto body shop. He told me this tough job 第二次段考 第5页 共 10 页
would build me into a man of character. But this all changed a year ago when my mother passed away and
stumbled upon your poem, If.
My mother was the person who could understand me. If I ever got tired during my work hours at the
shop I could call her to come and pick me up. It was my mother who instilled the love of literature and
languages in me. My mother spoke six languages fluently and had thousands of books, which still sit in the
attic of our house. It was in this “library” of hers that I picked up a book of poetry from a cold metal shelf
and found your poem, If.
Because of the death of my mother I felt alone, as if I belonged to no family. The image of a man was
completely shattered when I saw him break down and cry, which looked so pathetic(凄惨的)and
“unmanly” compared to his usual stoic(禁欲主义者)and emotionless countenance. Yet I remained silent
remembering the golden words: “If you can keep your head when all about you/ Are losing theirs and
blaming it on you… you’ll be a Man, my son!”
If reminded me to remain calm and “keep my head” because I wanted to be a man and wanted to be
the one supporting my family. I sacrificed my ability to compete in a winter sport so that I could stay home
and cook for my family and clean the house. My father saw this and our relationship has grown much
stronger. He finally respected me for who I was and told me he was proud to have a man for his son.
Through this poem, I realize that to be a man is not about putting weights on a barbell(杠铃)but rather
putting the weight of others on your back.
Your poem was so much more than just a simple list of guidelines or morals that some see it as; it really
changed my life and my relationship with my dad.
11.According to the passage, what kind of person does the author’s father expect him to be?
A.A person who will shoulder responsibilities.
B.A person who knows how to earn a lot of money.
C.A person who knows how to do housework.
D.A person who respects his parents.
12.Who does the underlined word “him” in paragraph 3 refer to?
A.the character in the poem B.the author’s father
C.the author D.an unknown person
13.According to the passage, a man in the author’s mind would have the following qualities EXCEPT
_________.
A.responsible B.enthusiastic C.caring D.calm
14.We can learn from the passage that ___________.
A.the author’s mother had told him about this poem before
B.the author would not know how to help his family without the poem
C.the author’s father must have read the poem as well
D.the poem has helped to improve the relationship between the author and his father 第二次段考 第6页 共 10 页
15.The author has written this letter to ___________.
A.share his opinion on the poem
B.tell Rudyard Kipling how he got the poem
C.share with Rudyard Kipling his sadness resulting from the death of his mother
D.show his appreciation for the positive influence the poem has brought to him

Stephen Covey's book The 7 Habits of Highly Effective People is very popular among business
people who want to improve their careers. 16 For example, Covey's principles can be used to improve
relationships between parents and children or to improve the way you manage your time.
Covey begins by discussing habits and effectiveness, and why they are both important to success.
According to Covey, for an action, such as listening to others, to become a habit, you must know what to do
and why you should do it. However, you also must want to do. On the other hand, effectiveness means
having a balance between success and a good relationship with the people around you. 17 . However,
if the company does not respect its workers, the profits will eventually decline.
18 .The first three habits focus on personal growth. The next three habits are about how to get
along with others. The seventh habit shows how to achieve physical, emotional and mental health.
Covey includes exercises to help you analyse your life. He challenges you to identify what you want
to contribute to society in your lifetime. He does this by asking you to think about what people to say about
you after you die. 19 . For example, if you want your children to say that you were always willing to
spend time with them, then you will spend more time with them and less time at work. 20 .
A.It has the potential to really improve your life.
B.However, its principles can be applied to any area of life.
C.For example, a company might focus completely on making a profit.
D.Covey also introduces the seven habits of highly effective people.
E.In this way, you can challenge yourself to make your dreams and ambitions come true.
F.Your answer to this question will help you make better decisions about how to spend your time.
G.In order to be successful, you must have habits that make you able to deal effectively with others and
your own personal life.
