Over the years, many cities and states have tried to put a tax(税) on sugary drinks. Last week, Berkeley, California succeeded. The city in northern California will charge a penny-per-ounce tax on most sugary drinks. The tax is expected to raise more than ＄1 million every year to fight against obesity(肥胖).
Makers of sugary drinks are against the tax. They say picking out one product will not solve the obesity problem in America. They also argue that a tax is an attack on personal freedom. “Families should be able to make the choice for their kids without the government stepping in,” said Chris Gindlesperger, a spokesperson for the American Beverage Association(美国饮料协会).
Gindlesperger says that the fight against obesity is more successful when the government partners with industry. He shows how the beverage industry worked with President Bill Clinton’s administration is the 1990s. They introduced water, milk, and fruit juice into a large number of schools, which took the place of sugary drinks. More recently, the beverage industry listened to First Lady Michelle Obama’s suggestion that labels(标签)on sugary drinks be clearer. Containers of up to 20 ounces will show the total calories on the front.
Some people say a tax is a surefire way to help reduce obesity in the U.S. “There is clear evidence that taxes result in less consumption(消费) of sugary drinks,” says Dr. Rachel Johnson, a spokesperson for the American Heart Association. She points to Mexico as an example. The country put up a tax on sugary drinks in January, and sales have already dropped by 10%. What’s more, sales of healthier drinks have increased. Bottled water sales are up by 13%. Milk sales are up by 7%.
Another purpose of the tax is to raise money to fight childhood obesity. Money will be used to build playgrounds, create educational materials, and increase the sales of the healthier foods. “We’ve already helped reduce obesity to some degree,” says Dr. Johnson. “I’m confident that we’re going to see even bigger progress soon.”
1.In the 1990s, sugary drinks in many schools _________.
A．were charged a penny-per-ounce tax
B．were not as popular as they are today
C．were replaced by water, milk, and fruit juice
D．were not more than 20 ounces per bottle
2.The underlined word “surefire” in Paragraph 4 can best be replaced by “_________”.
A．good B．stupid C．strange D．new
3.Why does Johnson talk about Mexico?
A．It is her favorite country.
B．She likes Mexican sugary drinks.
C．She tries to show a tax can help a lot.
D．It produces all kinds of sugary drinks.
4.What is the purpose of this text?
A．To ask kids to drink fewer sugary drinks.
B．To show how to fight childhood obesity.
C．To talk about different taxes in Berkeley.
D．To discuss if sugary drinks should be taxed.

Is it possible to persuade mankind to live without war? War is an ancient practice which has existed for at least six thousand years. It was always bad and usually foolish, but in the past, the human race managed to live with it. Modern cleverness has changed this. Either man will end the existence of war, or war will end the existence of man. For the present, it is nuclear weapons (核武器) that cause the most serious danger, but bacteriological or chemical weapons may, before long, offer an even greater threat. If we succeeded in ending the existence of nuclear weapons, our work will not be done. It will never be done until we have succeeded in ending war. To do this, we need to persuade mankind to look up on international problems in a new way not as contests of force, in which the victory goes to the side which is most skillful in killing people, but by settling in accordance with(与、、、一致) agreed rules of law. It is not easy to change very old mental habits, but this is what must be attempted.
There are those who say that the acceptance of this or that ideology (意识形态) would prevent war. I believe this to be a big mistake. All ideologies are based upon dogmatic statements (强词夺理) ，which are, at best, doubtful, and at worst, totally false. Their supporters believe in them so deeply that they are willing to go to war in support of them.
The movement of world opinion during the past few years has been very largely such as we can welcome. It has become a common place that nuclear war must be avoided. Of course very difficult problems remain in the world, but the spirit in which they are coming nearer to is a better one than it was some years ago. It has begun to be thought, even by the powerful men who decide whether we shall live or die, that negotiations（谈判） should reach agreements even if both sides do not find these agreements wholly satisfactory. It has begun to be understood that the important struggle nowadays is not between different countries but between man and the atom bomb(原子弹).
1.This passage implies(暗示) that war is now_______.
A. worse than in the past
B. as bad as in the past
C. not as dangerous as in the past
D. as necessary as in the past
2.From Paragraph 2 we learn that the writer of the passage_______.
A. is a supporter of some modern ideologies
B. does not think that the acceptance of any ideologies could prevent war
C. believes that the acceptance of some ideologies could prevent war
D. does not doubt the truth of any ideologies
3.According to the writer,_______.
A. war is the only way to solve international arguments
B. war will be less dangerous because of the improvement of weapons
C. it is impossible for people to live without war
D. war must be ended if man wants to survive

The murmur of the audience had just faded into expectant silence. This was one of the most important days in little five-year-old Patricia McKee’s life: the Kernot School Concert. She stood behind the curtain with her schoolmates. Yet she was not afraid because everyone had been practicing for weeks and knew their parts by heart.
Being in a remote country town, Patricia knew that everyone would turn out for the big occasion－everyone! Yet, it was this awareness that added a sense of sadness to her excitement. There were two people who couldn’t be in that audience that night－her mum and dad.
Patricia’s mother and father ran the local general store, which was open for business 24 hours. So it was simply accepted that Mum and Dad could never attend community activities. It had been this way with her sister, so why should it be any different for her?
Still, Patricia couldn’t help wishing that her mum and dad could be there to see her on such a special day, so she decided to bring up the subject with her mother. Sadly, she had to face the facts. At such a young age, Patricia couldn’t really understand the deep pain in her mother’s response: “I’ll try to be there, sweetheart, but you know how hard it is for us to get away from the store.”
Yet as the curtain slowly opened on the stage of the Kernot Hall, little Patricia McKee got the surprise of her life. There, sitting four rows the front was her mother with a big smile on her face!
This powerful image remains one of Patricia’s most treasured memories. “Words cannot express the pure joy we both experienced at that moment. I was really walking on air,” said Patricia, now a parent herself. Her parents have passed away, but what a wonderful legacy（遗产）they’ve left us: when someone really needs you, be there for them.
1.Why did Patricia have a feeling of sadness？
A. She had no chance to watch the concert.
B. She performed unsuccessfully at the concert.
C. Her parents had gone to a remote country town.
D. Her parents were unlikely to attend the concert.
2.What do we know about Patricia’s parents？
A. They loved Patricia more than her sister.
B. They had little interest in social activities.
C. They had to mind the store day and night.
D. They paid no attention to Patricia’s school life.
3.According to Paragraph 4, while giving the response, Patricia’s mother probably felt_________.
A. calm B. sorry C. angry D. nervous
4.What does the underlined phrase “walking on air” in the last paragraph probably mean?
A. Surprised. B. Troubled.
C. Very happy. D. Very comfortable.
5.Which of the following would be the best title for the text?
A. A smiling face in the crowd.
B. An extremely busy mother.
C. A big occasion in school.
D. A secret wish.
