Directions: There is one passage in this section. The passage is followed by some questions or unfinished statements. For each of them are four choices marked A, B, C and D. You should decide on the best choice and mark the corresponding letter on Answer Sheet. (请在答题卡一上做答)
The fifth largest city in the US passed a significant soda tax proposal that will levy(征税) 1.5 cents per liquid ounce on distributors.
Philadelphia’s new measure was approved by a 13 to 4 city council vote. It sets a new bar for similar initiatives across the country. It is proof that taxes on sugary drinks can win substantial support outside super-liberal areas. Until now, the only city to successfully pass and implement a soda tax was Berkeley, California, in 2014.
The tax will apply to regular and diet sodas, as well as other drinks with added sugar, such as Gatorade and iced teas. It's expected to raise $410 million over the next five years, most of which will go toward funding a universal pre-kindergarten program for the city.
While the council vote was met with applause inside the council room, opponents to the measure, including soda lobbyists, made sharp criticisms and a promise to challenge the tax in court.
“The tax passed today unfairly singles out beverages-including low and no-calorie choices, "said Lauren Kane, spokeswoman for the American Beverage Association. "But most importantly, it is against the law. So we will side with the majority of the people of Philadelphia who oppose this tax and take legal action to stop it.”
An industry-backed anti-tax campaign has spent at least $4 million on advertisements. The ads criticized the measure, characterizing it as a "grocery tax.”
Public health groups applauded the approved tax as a step toward fixing certain lasting health issues that plague Americans. "The move to recapture a small part of the profits from an industry that pushes a product that contributes to diabetes, obesity and heart disease in poorer communities in order to reinvest in those communities will sure be inspirational to many other places,” said Jim Krieger, executive director of Healthy Food America."Indeed, we are already hearing from some of them. It's not just Berkeley anymore.”
Similar measures in California's Albany, Oakland, San Francisco and Colorado’s Boulder are becoming hot-button issues. Health advocacy groups have hinted that even more might be coming
31、What does the passage say about the newly-approved soda tax in Philadelphia?
A、 It will change the lifestyle of many consumers.
B、It may encourage other US cities to follow suit.
C、It will cut soda consumption among low-income communities soda business.
D、It may influence the marketing strategies of the soda tax proposal?
答案：B
32、What will the opponents probably do to respond to the soda tax proposal?
A、Bargain with the city council.
B、Refuse to pay additional tax.
C、Take legal action against it.
D、Try to win public support
答案：C
33、What did the industry-backed anti-tax campaign do about the soda tax proposal?
A、It tried to arouse hostile feelings among consumers.
B、It tried to win grocers' support against the measure.
C、It kept sending letters of protest to the media.
D、It criticized the measure through advertising.
答案：D
34、 What did public health groups think the soda tax would do?
A、Alert people to the risk of sugar-induced diseases.
B、Help people to fix certain long-time health issues.
C、Add to the fund for their research on diseases.
D、Benefit low-income people across the country.
答案：B
35、What do we learn about similar measures concerning the soda tax in some other cities?
A、They are becoming rather sensitive issues.
B、They are spreading panic in the soda industry.
C、They are reducing the incidence of sugar-induced diseases.
D、They are taking away a lot of profit from the soda industry.
答案：A

Passage Two
A guy buys a brand new Lincoln Navigator for $42,400. He and a friend go duck hunting in winter, and of course all the lakes are frozen. These two guys go out on the lake with the guns, the dog, and of course the new vehicle.
They drive out onto the lake ice and get ready. Now, they want to make some kind of a natural landing area for the ducks, something for the decoys(诱饵)to float on. In order to make a hole large enough to look like something a wandering duck would fly down and land on, it is going to take a little more effort than an ice hole drill.
So, out of the back of the new Navigator comes a stick of dynamite(炸药)with a short, 40-second fuse(导火索). Now these two men do take into consideration that they want to place the stick of dynamite on the ice at a location far from where they are standing and the new Navigator, because they don’t want to take the risk of slipping on the ice when they run from the burning fuse and possibly go up in smoke with the resulting blast.
They light the 40-second fuse and throw the dynamite. What happens then? Their dog, highly trained for seeking and picking back things thrown by the owner, takes off at a high rate of doggy speed on the ice and captures the stick of dynamite with the burning 40-second fuse about the time it hits the ice. The two men yell, scream, wave their arms and wonder what to do now. The dog, cheered on, keeps coming. One of the guys grabs the shotgun and shoots at the dog. The shotgun is loaded with buckshot(大号铅弹),hardly big enough to stop it. The dog stops for a moment, slightly confused, but continues on. Another shot and this time the dog, still standing, becomes really confused, and of course terrified, thinking these two geniuses have gone mad.
The dog takes off to find cover under the brand-new Navigator. BOOM! The dog and the Navigator are blown to bits and sink to the bottom of the lake in a very large hole, leaving the two idiots(白痴)standing there with this “I can’t believe this happened” look on their faces.
36、The Lincoln Navigator in this passage is _____.
A、a car
B、a stick of dynamite
C、a decoy
D、a dog
答案：A
37、Why do the two men yell and scream when they see the dog capture the stick of dynamite?
A、Because they know what will result from the dog’s action.
B、Because that is what they expect.
C、Because they are pleased to see it.
D、Because they quite appreciate the dog’s skill.
答案：A
38、Why do the two guys use dynamite?
A、Because they want to make a large hole in the ice.
B、Because they want to smoke ducks down.
C、Because they want to go up in smoke with the resulting blast.
D、Because they want to frighten ducks and make them fly out.
答案：A
39、Why does one of the two men shoot at the dog?
A、Because the dog is frightened by the dynamite and has gone mad.
B、Because the dog tries to run away from them.
C、Because the dog is cheered by the two men’s shouting.
D、Because the dog picks up the dynamite and run toward them.
答案：D

A Special Classmate I Have
Among all of my classmates, Sally is a very special girl. I was attracted by her character when I first met her three years ago. Even today she is still so special and interesting in my eyes.
Sally is not tall, but very lovely. She likes telling jokes, which makes us laugh a lot. She is very smart, too. She can always come up with some ideas when we have problems. Meanwhile, she never laughs at people or envies anyone. I haven’t seen such an open-minded girl like her anywhere before. What’s more, Sally is an active girl and is interested in everything. She is fond of trying new food, movies, activities etc. Time is always exciting when Sally is present.
I feel very lucky to have Sally, so unique a girl, as my classmate . Like me, people can not help liking her. She is really a gift of God.
