　　MUMBAI, India —The children in their party clothes on the stage were very excited when they received the award. And the two of them said, "It’s unbelievable!"

　　Nine-year-old Rubina Ali, and Azharuddin Ismail, 10, were living a very different life and apparently loving every minute of it. The two, some of the child stars of the Oscar-winning Slumdog Millionaire (《贫民窟的百万富翁》)movie, know the Indian slums very well. That was where they grew up, and it is where they will return at the end of their Hollywood dream trip.

　　But before going back home, there was an interview with the host, Ryan Seacrest. During the interview they smiled and repeated their disbelief at what was happening to them. To their surprise, their movie won the first place in the Oscars. When the two received the award, it was late morning in the children’s home city of Mumbai, where their family, friends and many fellow residents of the slums watched the results from Hollywood.

　　"I don’t really know what the Oscars are," Rubina’s mother said. "I’m just glad my daughter looks happy, though she told me she missed Indian food."

　　"Our children lead a dog’s life," Rubina’s mother said, pointing at the rubbish everywhere, the open drains (下水道) and the lack of education opportunities.

　　In a few days they will be back in Mumbai and back in the slums. Fortunately, according to media reports, the movie’s director, Danny Boyle, has promised to help the children he chose from the slums go to a proper school.

　　The two don’t need to worry about their daily lives because of the Oscar success of Slumdog Millionaire. But the poverty and lack of education opportunities —the central theme of the movie —is always all around.

　　Chicken soup has long been a comfort food for people with cold symptoms. Whether the remedy (疗法) comes from the warmth and comfort of the soup or from actual coldfighting ingredients(成分) in the meal, it is still up for debate.

　　Chicken Soup: Just the Evidence

　　Science_has_begun_to_support_what_mothers_have_understood_for_centuries. The heat, salt, and hydration provided by chicken

　　soup may actually fight the cold virus. Laboratory studies have shown that ingredients of chicken soup with vegetables could kill viral cells and prevent the growth of new ones. The soup may also provide an antiinflammatory (消炎的) effect that helps reduce cold symptoms.

　　Unfortunately,

　　the benefits of chicken soup appear to be limited by how quickly the soup leaves the body. There is no indication that chicken soup would help in the prevention of colds, but its use as a remedy for symptoms is common. It is largely a safe remedy with no ill side effects, and scientific evidence

　　in

　　favor of its

　　coldfighting properties(特性) than against it.

　　The Downside of Chicken Soup

　　Evidence in support of chicken soup's antiviral properties is not yet solid enough to prove true,

　　reliable

　　medicinal effects. Although the evidence based on personal experiences and existing research seem to support a good effect of chicken soup, a clinical trial would be very difficult to perform.

　　In addition, some people with food allergies (过敏性反应) or sensitivities to salt may experience ill side effects from chicken soup.

　　Unbroken bones may also lead to a choking risk，particularly for children.

　　However, the potential benefits of chicken soup seem to far outweigh the possible risks.

　　68．What does the underlined sentence suggest?

　　A．Mothers have long been helped by scientists to find remedies for colds.

　　C. People have tried chicken soup to help reduce cold symptoms since long ago.

　　【2017高考英语江西省红色六校第二次联考】D

　　Someday a stranger will read your e-mail without your permission or scan the Website you’ve visited，Or perhaps someone will casually glance through your credit card purchases or cell phone bills to find out your shopping preferences or calling habits.

　　In fact, it’s likely some of these things have already happened to you. Who would watch you without your permission? It might be a spouse, a girl friend, a marketing company, a boss, a cop or a criminal. Whoever it is, they will see you in a way you never intended to be seen --- the 21st century equivalent of being caught naked.

　　Psychologists tell us boundaries are healthy, that it's important to reveal yourself to friends, family and lovers in stages, at appropriate times.But few boundaries remain. The digital bread crumbs (碎屑) you leave everywhere make it easy for strangers to reconstruct who you are, where you are and what you like. In some cases, a simple Google search can reveal what you think. Like it or not, increasingly we live in a world where you simply cannot keep a secret.

　　The key question is: Does that matter?

　　For many Americans, the answer apparently is “no.”

　　When opinion polls ask Americans about privacy, most say they are concerned about losing it. A survey found an overwhelming pessimism about privacy, with 60 percent of respondents saying they feel their privacy is “slipping away, and that bothers me.”

　　But people say one thing and do another. Only a tiny fraction of Americans change any behaviors in an effort to preserve their privacy. Few people turn down a discount at tollbooths (收费站) to avoid using the EZ-Pass system that can track automobile movements. And few turn down supermarket loyalty cards. Privacy economist Alessandro Acauisti has run a series of tests that reveal people will surrender personal information like Social Security numbers just to get their hands on a pitiful 50-cents-off coupon (优惠卷).

　　But privacy does matter - at least sometimes. It’s like health: When you have it, you don’t notice it. Only when it’s gone do you wish you’d done more to protect it.

　　71.What does the author mean by saying “the 21st century equivalent of being caught naked” (Para. 2)?

　　A. People tend to be more frank with each other in the information age.

　　B. In the 21st century people try every means to look into others’ secrets.

　　C. People's personal information is easily accessed without their knowledge.

　　D. Criminals are easily caught on the spot with advanced technology.

　　72.What would psychologists advise on the relationships between friends?

　　A. Friends should open their hearts to each other.

　　B. There should be a distance even between friends.

　　C. Friends should always be faithful to each other.

　　D. There should be fewer disputes between friends.

　　73.Why does the author say “we live in a world where you simply cannot keep a secret” ( para. 3)?

　　A. People leave traces around when using modern technology.

　　B. Modern society has finally evolved into an open society.

　　C. There are always people who are curious about others’ affairs.

　　D.Many search engines profit by revealing people’s identities.

　　74.What do most Americans do with regard to privacy protection?

　　A. They change behaviors that might disclose their identity.

　　B. They use various loyalty cards for business transactions.

　　C. They talk a lot but hardly do anything about it.

　　D. They rely most and more on electronic devices.

　　75. According to the passage, privacy is like health in that

　　.

　　A. people will make every effort to keep it

　　B. its importance is rarely understood

　　C. it is something that can easily be lost

　　D. people don’t cherish it until they lose it

　　BEIJING, China (CNN) -- Chinese workers and army soldiers were racing to sweep snow-covered highways and unclog railway routes for millions of travelers trapped by cold weather. More than 67 million people have been affected by the weather and economic losses are expected to reach as much as $3 billion, Chinese officials say.

　　The snowstorms have damaged power lines, houses and farmland, causing fears of food and energy shortages. Twenty-four people have died and some 827,000 people have been evacuated in 14 different provinces, the Ministry of Civil Affairs said Monday.

　　In the past week, the snowstorms have hit the provinces in central, eastern and southern China.

　　"We've never seen such a cold weather lasting for such long a time," said Tang Shan, a man in his 70s in Changsha, the capital of Hunan province. "The last time we had one here was over 50 years ago, and not this bad."

　　The snow and sleet have paralyzed（使瘫痪）roads, railways and airports, leaving tens of millions of travelers marooned, officials say. Many of them are bound for home ahead of the traditional Lunar New Year, also known as the Spring Festival, which falls on February 7.

　　The Lunar New Year travel is China's busiest travel period of the year. But the cold weather is delaying travel plans. In the southern city of Guangzhou, as many as 500,000 train passengers had to stay in the station. About 100,000 packed the square in front of the train station while others found shelter in schools and other public buildings while waiting for their trains.

　　Chinese premier Wen Jiabao has ordered urgent measures to unclog the transport jam and ensure a steady supply of food and energy.

　　“Let’s unite as one to fight against the disaster,” he said in an emergency meeting.“Let’s ensure that the people enjoy the Spring Festival.”

　　But more terrible weather is expected. On Monday China’s Weather Station issued a rare“red alert”warning of more serious snowstorms in the coming days. If so, the number of trapped travelers will surely increase.

　　1．What is the passage mainly about?

　　A．The transport jam before the Spring Festival.

　　B．The terrible effects of the snowstorms.

　　C．The travelers’fears of food shortages.

　　D．The measures to fight against the disaster.

　　2．According to the passage, which of the following are mentioned?

　　a．A large number of passengers suffered from snowstorms.

　　b．Many house sand fields were damaged by the terrible snowstorms.

　　c．No such heavy snowstorms have ever happened in China.

　　d．The snowstorms are expected to come to an end in the following days.

　　e．Roads, railways and airports were strongly influenced by the snowstorms

　　A．a，b，c B．b，c，d C．c，d，e D．a，b，e

　　3．What does the underlined word“unclog”in the first paragraph mean?

　　A．clear B．clean C．cover D．close

　　4．The government has taken the following measures except

　　.

　　A．finding shelter in schools and other public buildings for the passengers

　　B．trying their best to ensure a steady supply of food and energy

　　C．calling on people to stop work to fight against the disaster

　　D．warning people of more terrible snowstorms in the coming days

　　The next decade will witness the most important changes in the way we consume sport since the appearance of mass audience television in the 1950's. The development of media channels such as satellite and cable television, the internet and mobile telephones has broken the traditional free television model in every advanced economy. Well managed sports will remain valuable content and many will continue to grow. Forward thinking governing bodies will grasp the opportunity by repackaging their sports to adapt to the new broadcast landscape. Others will not.

　　Brand marketers have seen the effectiveness of the traditional TV sport advertising fall over the last twenty years as audiences for free to air television fall year by year. The growth of sponsorship（赞助）as a marketing tool is one result. However, sport must compete for the sponsor dollar with other forms of content such as music, the arts and culture and cause-related marketing, each of which offers a powerful choice.

　　At the same time some of sports biggest marketers, the soft drink, beer and fast food companies, will come under growing pressure from social and political pressure groups concerned about levels of obesity（肥胖）, over drinking and anti-social behavior that have become such a part of modern life.

　　Companies such as McDonalds, Coca Cola and Budweiser face calls to cut its ties with sport, which will be popular over the next decade. Are we facing a ban on soft drink sponsorship similar to that of tobacco? Certainly, the removal of hundreds of millions of sponsorship dollars from the sports economy worldwide would have destructive influence. This report analyses the threat, seeking comparisons with the strategy employed by the tobacco abolitionists（废除主义者） a decade ago.

　　1．Which of the following does NOT affect traditional television model?

　　A．Cable television.

　　B．The internet.

　　C．Mobile phones.

　　D．Mass audience television

　　2．What can we infer from the second paragraph?

　　A．Sponsorship leads to the fall of sport advertising.

　　B．Sport can’t match the arts.

　　C．Music, the art and culture often act as sponsors in sports.

　　D．The fall of advertising only happens to some brand marketers

　　3．If a child is overweight, which of the following may be responsible according to this passage?

　　A．His parents.

　　B．Growing sport sponsorship

　　C．Some big food or drink companies. D．Advanced economy.

　　4．In he last paragraph, the author fears that

　　A．the ban on tobacco will be abolished ten years later.

　　B．the sponsorship of soft drink companies will destruct sports economy.

　　C．food and drink companies will be popular.

　　D．fast food and soft drink sponsorship will be banned like tobacco sooner or later.
