The federal school lunch program for 30 million low-income children was created more than half a century ago to combat malnutrition(营养不良). A breakfast program was added during the 1960s, and both attempted to improve the nutritional value of food served at school.
More must be done to fight the childhood obesity(肥胖) epidemic, which has caused a frightening peak in weight-related disorders like diabetes, high-blood pressure and heart disease among young people. The place to start is schools, where junk food sold outside the federal meals program—through snack bars and vending machines—has pretty much canceled out the benefits of all those efforts.
Federal rules that govern the sales of these harmful foods at school are limited and have not been updated for nearly 40 years. Until new regulations are written, children who are served healthy meals in the school cafeteria will continue to buy candy drinks and high sodium(钠) snacks elsewhere in school.
Many states’ school districts have taken positive steps, but others are likely to resist, especially districts that sell junk food to finance athletic program extracurricular activities, and even copier expenses.
Those districts should take note of a study released in 2009 in West Virginia showing that the budgetary costs of switching from sodas to healthy drinks such as fruit juice, milk, and water were very little. Even if the switch costs money, so be it. The school should not be trading their students’ health to buy office supplies.
Over the last five decades, the obesity rates for adolescents have tripled. Unless there is decisive action, weight and inactivity-related disorders will bother a steady larger proportion of the work force and replace smoking as the leading cause of premature death.
1.According to this passage, ______ are to blame for the childhood obesity.
A. weight-related disorders
B. high calorie snacks
C. parents’ bad habits
D. unhealthy lunches and breakfast
2.Which is the main idea of Paragraph 3?
A. Federal governments deserve high praise for their school lunch program.
B. New regulations are badly in need of updating.
C. Children should be forbidden to buy snacks in school.
D. Federal rules encourage snacks outside the school program.
3.The passage is concerned mainly with ______.
A. Malnutrition in low-income children
B. The federal school lunch program
C. obesity at school
D. the nutritional value of food served at school
4.The tone of this passage is ______.
A. negative B. indifferent
C. optimistic D. ironic

In its early history, Chicago had floods frequently, especially in the spring, making the streets so muddy that people, horses, and carts got stuck. An old joke that was popular at the time went something like this: A man is stuck up to his waist in a muddy Chicago street. Asked if he needs help, he replies,“No, thanks. I’ve got a good horse under me.”
The city planners decided to build an underground drainage(排水) system, but there simply wasn’t enough difference between the height of the ground level and the water level. The only two options were to lower the Chicago River or raise the city.
An engineer named Ellis Chesbrough convinced the city that it had no choice but to build the pipes above ground and then cover them with dirt. This raised the level of the city’s streets by as much as 12 feet.
This of course created a new problem: dirt practically buried the first floors of every building in Chicago. Building owners were faced with a choice: either change the first floors of their buildings into basements, and the second stories into main floors, or hoist the entire bulidings to meet the new street level. Small wood-frame buildings could be lifted fairly easily. But what about large, heavy structures like the Tremont Hotel, which was a six-story brick building?
That’s where George Pullman came in. He had developed some house-moving skills successfully. To lift a big structure like Tremont Hotel, Pullman would place thousands of jackscrews(螺旋千斤顶) beneath the building’s foundation. One man was assigned to operate each section of roughly 10 jackscrews. At Pullman’s signal each man turned his jackscrew the same amount at the same time, thereby raising the building slowly and evenly. Astonishingly, the Tremont Hotel stayed open during the entire operation, and many of its guests didn’t even notice anything was happening.
Some people like to say that every problem has a solution. But in Chicago’s early history, every engineering solution seemed to create a new problem. Now that Chicago’s waste water was draining efficiently into the Chicago River, the city’s next step was to clean the polluted river.
1.The author mentions the joke to show_________.
A. horses were fairly useful in Chicago
B. Chicago’ streets were extremely muddy
C. Chicago was very dangerous in the spring
D. the Chicago people were particularly humorous
2.The city planners were convinced by Elllis Chesbrough to__________.
A. get rid of the street dirt
B. lower the Chicago River
C. fight against heavy floods
D. build the pipes above ground
3.The underlined word”hoist”in Paragraph 4 means ___________
A. change B. lift C. repair D. decorate
4.What can we conclude about the moving operation of the Tremont Hotel?
A. It went on smoothly as intended.
B. It interrupted the business of the hotel.
C. It involved Pullman turning ten jackscrews.
D. It separated the bulding from its foundation.
5.The passage is mainly about early Chicago’s _________
A. popular life styles and their influences
B. environmental disasters and their causes
C. engineering problems and their solutions
D. successful businessmen and their achievements

D Throughout the history of the arts, the nature of creativity has remained constant to artists．No matter what objects they select, artists are to bring forth new forces and forms that cause change---to find poetry where no one has ever seen or experienced it before．
Landscape (风景) is another unchanging element of art．It can be found from ancient times through the17th-century Dutch painters to the 19th-century romanticists and impressionists．In the 1970s Alfred Leslie, one of the new American realists, continued this practice．Leslie sought out the same place where ThomasCole, a romanticist, had produced paintings of the same scene a century and a half before．Unlike Cole who insists on a feeling of loneliness and the idea of finding peace in nature, Leslie paints what he actually sees．In his paintings, there is no particular change in emotion, and he includes ordinary things like the highway in the background．He also takes advantage of the latest developments of color photography to help both the eye and the memory when he improves his painting back in his workroom．
Besides, all art begs the age-old question: What is real? Each generation of artists has shown their understanding of reality in one form or another．The impressionists saw reality in brief emotional effects, the realists in everyday subjects and in forest scenes, and the Cro-Magnon cave people in their naturalistic drawings of the animals in the ancient forests．To sum up, understanding reality is a necessary struggle for artists of all periods．
Over thousands of years the function of the arts has remained relatively constant．Past or present, Eastern or Western, the arts are a basic part of our immediate experience．Many and different are the faces ofart, and together they express the basic need and hope of human beings．
1.The underlined word “poetry” most probably means ________ ．
A．an object for artistic creation
B．an unusual quality
C．a collection of poems
D．a natural scene
2.Leslie’s paintings are extraordinary because ___________．
A．they draw attention to common things in life
B．they look like works by 19th-century painters
C．they are close in style to works in ancient times
D．they depend heavily on color photography
3.What is the author’s opinion of artistic reality?
A．It does not have a long-lasting standard
B．It will not be found in future works of art．
C．It is expressed in a fixed artistic form．
D．It is lacking in modern works of art．
4.Which of the following is the main topic of the passage?
A．History of the arts．
B．Use of modern technology in the arts．
C．Basic questions of the arts．
D．New developments in the arts．
