Why are people interested in eating raw foods or whole foods? One reason is that eating these types of food reduces the risk of acid accumulation (积累)in your body.
Raw and whole foods are usually digested more efficiently than cooked and refined foods. When we cook foods, we destroy the natural enzymes (酶) that are part of the food in its raw form. These enzymes were intended by nature to help us digest the food. When we consume food without these natural enzymes, our bodies either digest the food improperly or allow too many nutrients to be absorbed into the bloodstream. In both instances, the result is obesity(肥胖). When too many nutrients are absorbed at once, the body grows fat. Improperly digested food moves slowly through the digestive tract(消化道), where it becomes increasingly acidic. To protect its vital organs from this acidic waste, the body changes the acid into fat and stores it safely away from the organs.
Processed foods contain chemical elements, which might confuse the appetite mechanism that tells us when we’ve had enough to eat; as a result, people often overeat. Processed foods also upset the digestive cycle. The body will either identify these foods as allergens(过敏原) and then store them safely away from the organs as fat, or the remains of undigested food will become acidic and enter the bloodstream as acid waste, which will stick to the blood vessel walls and block the passage of vital oxygen and nutrients heading for the body’s cells. The body’s metabolism (新陈代谢) becomes inactive, and the result is weight gain and obesity.
The accumulation of acid in the digestive tract makes digestion increasingly inefficient. When that happens, even healthy foods can become acidic and the food allergies will become more common.
To stop this vicious circle in its tracks, people need to consume food and supplements that will neutralize(中和) the acid already accumulated in body. Eating the right types of raw and whole foods can help. It’s also important to restore your enzyme balance. You need to identify and avoid the foods that cause acid accumulation and consume the foods that increase enzyme production. If you truly want to change and help your body heal itself, you need to take an active approach.
60. It can be inferred from Para. 2 that __________.
A. foods with natural enzymes help people keep fit
B. we’d better be cautious about raw and whole foods
C. it is essential for people to protect their vital organs
D. giving up cooked and refined foods is a new lifestyle
61. Processed foods are unhealthy because they __________.
A. destroy body’s cells B. may lead to obesity
C. are difficult to digest D. stop body’s metabolism
62. What is the main purpose of this passage?
A. To warn people of the problem of obesity.
B. To tell the differences between raw and processed foods.
C. To inform people of the harm of processed foods.
D. To advocate (提倡) eating more raw and whole foods.
63. What is likely to be talked about following the last paragraph?
A. Different causes of acid accumulation.
B. Correct ways to cook raw foods.
C. Active approaches to avoid acid.
D. Suitable types of raw and whole foods.
C
Russia, Morocco and Tunisia have gained popularity among Chinese mainland tourists during this year’s National Day holiday due to favorable currency rates and relaxed visa policies while Taiwan suffered a dramatic decrease in the number of mainland holidaymakers.
The China National Tourism Administration (CNTA) said it recorded 593 million tourism-related visits and revenue reached 482.2 billion yuan ($ 72.31 billion), 14.4 percent increase over the same period last year. This exceeded its forecast of 478.1 billion yuan and 589 million visits.
Among overseas travel destinations, visits to Russia rose by over 103 percent — the third most popular overseas destination for Chinese tourists behind South Korea and Japan.
A former CNTA official surnamed Yang told the Global Times that “Russia is China's neighbor, so many tourists from northern China can easily go to Russia by train, plus the ruble's depreciation and healthy Sino-Russian ties make Russia an ideal tourist destination for Chinese.”
Countries like Morocco, Tunisia and Tonga also enjoyed a spike in tourists from China after they lifted their visa requirements on China residents, enjoying an increase of anywhere from 300-600 percent, CNTA said.
Tian Fei, an employee of Ctrip, a Chinese travel agency, told China Radio International that the reasons why more Chinese are choosing to travel overseas include a favorable exchange rate, preferential visa policies and an increase in the number of flight routes.
However, Taiwan has been suffering. Taiwan only received 7,915 visitors from the mainland, a drop of 69.29 percent compared to 2015, CNTA said.
The "Golden Week" tourism was also affected by the Belt and Road initiative. Many Chinese provinces along the ancient Silk Road, such as Gansu Province, Inner Mongolia and Xinjiang Uyghur autonomous regions, saw a marked increase in tourists and revenue, CNTA said.
64. Which of the following is closest in meaning to the underlined word “spike” in Paragraph 5?
A. sharp decrease B. sharp rise
C. a sharp-pointed metal D. a long metal nail
65. According to the passage, which of the following is not the reason why more Chinese are
choosing to travel overseas?
A. favorable exchange rates B. relaxed visa policies
C. improved living standards D. increased flight routes
66. Which of the following statements is NOT true?
A. Russia, Morocco, Tunisia and Tonga have all gained popularity this year among Chinese Golden Week holidaymakers.
B. Many Chinese provinces along the ancient Silk Road benefited a lot during this year’s Golden Week.
C.In 2016, the most popular overseas destination for Chinese Golden Week holidaymakers is South Korea.
D.There were not more than 25,000 visitors from the mainland to Taiwan in 2015

As a young boy, I sometimes traveled the country roads with my dad. He was a rural mail carrier, and on Saturdays he would ask me to go with him. Driving through the countryside was always an adventure: There were animals to see, people to visit, and chocolate cookies if you knew where to stop, and Dad did.
In the spring, Dad delivered boxes full of baby chickens, and when I was a boy it was such a fun to stick your finger through one of the holes of the boxes and let the baby birds peck on your fingers.
On Dad's final day of work, it took him well into the evening to complete his rounds because at least one member from each family was waiting at their mailbox to thank him for his friendship and his years of service. "Two hundred and nineteen mailboxes on my route." he used to say, "and a story at every one." One lady had no mailbox, so Dad took the mail in to her every day because she was nearly blind. Once inside, he read her mail and helped her pay her bills.
Mailboxes were sometimes used for things other than mail. One note left in a mailbox read. "Nat, take these eggs to Marian; she's baking a cake and doesn't have any eggs." Mailboxes might be buried in the snow, or broken, or lying on the groom, but the mail was always delivered. On cold days Dad might find one of his customers waiting for him with a cup of hot chocolate. A young wrote letters but had no stamps, so she left a few buttons on the envelope in the mailbox; Dad paid for the stamps. One businessman used to leave large amounts of cash in his mailbox for Dad to take to the bank. Once, the amount came to $32,000.
A dozen years ago, when I traveled back to my hometown on the sad occasion of Dad’s death, the mailboxes along the way reminded me of some of his stories. I thought I knew them all, but that wasn't the case.
As I drove home, I noticed two lamp poles, one on each side of the street. When my dad was around, those poles supported wooden boxes about four feet off the ground. One box was painted green and the other was red, and each had a long narrow hole at the top with white lettering: SANTA
CLAUS, NORTH POLE. For years children had dropped letters to Santa through those holes.
I made a turn at the corner and drove past the post office and across the railroad tracks to our house. Mom and I were sitting at the kitchen table when I heard footsteps. There, at the door, stood Frank Townsend, Dad's postmaster and great friend for many years. So we all sat down at the table and began to tell stories.
At one point Frank looked at me with tears in his eyes. "What are we going to do about the letters this Christmas?" he asked.
"The letters?"
'I guess you never knew."
"Knew what?"
"Remember, when you were a kid and you used to put your letters to Santa in those green and red boxes on Main Street? It was your dad who answered all those letters every year."
I just sat there with tears in my eyes. It wasn’t hard for me to imagine Dad sitting at the old table in our basement reading those letters and answering each one. I have since spoken with several of the people who received Christmas letters during their childhood, and they told me how amazed they were that Santa had known so much about their homes and families.
For me, just knowing that story about my father was the gift of a lifetime.
67. It can be inferred(推断) from the passage that the writer regarded his travels with Dad as __________.
A. exciting experience with a lot of fun
B. happy occasions to play with baby chickens
C. great chances to help other people
D. good opportunities to enjoy chocolate cookies
68. The writer provides the detail about the businessman to show that ________.
A. Dad had a strong sense of duty B. Dad was an honest and reliable man
C. Dad had a strong sense of honor D. Dad was a kind and generous man
69. What surprised the children most when they received letters in reply from Santa Claus every year?
A. Santa Claus lived alone in the cold North Pole.
B. Santa Claus answered all their letters every year.
C. Santa Claus had so much information about their families.
D. Santa Claus had unique mailboxes for the children.
70. Which of the following is the best title for the passage?
A. The Mail B. Christmas Letters
C Special Mailboxes D. Memorable Travels

Everyone knows about straight-A students. We see them frequently in TV programs and in movies. The kids at the top of the class get there by mastering a few basic techniques that others can learn in an easy way. Thus it is necessary for you to learn the secrets of becoming straight-A students.
Among the students we have interviewed, study times are a matter of personal preference. Some work late at night when it is quiet ,whereas others awake early. And there are still others who decide to study as soon as they come home from school when the work is fresh in their minds. All of them agree, however, on the need for study time. “Whatever I was doing, I would find some time every day for studying,” says a top student from New Jersey.
Being organized is another habit they share in common. McCray, an outstanding student interviewed, runs track, plays football and is in a band. “I was so busy; I couldn’t waste time looking for a pencil or missing paper. I kept everything right where I could put my hands on it,” he says. Some students maintain two folders — one for the day’s assignment, the other for papers completed and graded. However, some students have another system, filing the day’s papers in color-coded folders by subject.
The top students also take good notes while reading the text assignment. In fact, David Cirri, another top student interviewed, uses “my homemade” system in which he draws a line down the center of a notebook, writes notes from the text on one side and those from the lecture delivered by his teacher on the other. Then, he is able to review both aspects of the assignment at once.
Just before the bell rings, most students close their books, put away papers, whisper to friends and get ready to rush out. But the top students use the few minutes to write a two-or- three-sentence summary of the lesson’s important points, which he or she scans before the next day’s class.
You can become a straight-A student by following the above secrets.

Dear editor,
I’m writing to tell you about the discussion we have recently had about whether our parents should accompany us studying at school. We do have different opinions on this matter.
70% of us think our parents should not accompany us studying at school. First of all, it makes us fall into the habit of dependence, so that we won’t form the good habit of studying. What’s more, it is harmful for us to form the habit of controlling ourselves. At the same time, accompanying us studying at school affects our parents’ work, studies and rest.
However, about 30% of my classmates think it necessary for our parents to accompany us studying at school. Firstly, accompanying us studying at school can let us have more time to spare for our studies. Secondly, our parents can help us set up our aim, urge us to finish our task, encourage us to overcome difficulties and get us into the good habit of studying.
As far as I am concerned, it is unnecessary for parents to keep their children company in school. On one hand, living alone is a basic skill everyone should master. On the other hand, it can create room for children’s growth and ensure their overall development.
Yours truly,
Li Hua
