It seems that you shouldnt, for many reasons, including its influence on your studies.Scientists have long known that eating late at night can make us gain weight. But now a new study has shown that late night eating can also have a bad influence on our brainsit might hurt our ability to learn new things and store memories.“We believe that latenight eating may affect(影响) our learning by affecting the parts of the brain that control learning and memory, DawnLon, PhD, a project scientist at the University of California, Los Angeles said, we believe the timing of when we eat is the main cause of the damaged (受损的) memory.For the study, the researchers looked at mice with strict feeding plans for two weeks, the mice were either allowed to eat during the time when they are usually the most active, or during the time when they usually sleep.The mice received the same amount of sleep and calories.Then the researchers tested the brains of the mice. In one test, the researchers tried to find out whether the mice could remember that a room was connected to an electric shock(电击) after 24 hours had gone by.The researchers noticed that when the mice were put in the room again hose mice that ate when they should have been sleeping were less likely(可能的) to get scared than those mice that ate during usual hours. It means that they didnt remember.So think twice before the midnight snack it might be bad for more than your weight.（1）What does the underlined word it in Paragraph 2 refer to? A .

Increasingly, thats no longer the case.Chinese people born before 1985 generally think that foreign brands are better than Chinese ones, William Li, a market researcher told Business Insider during a recent interview on CCTV 9. But for those who were born after 1985, it is a different picture.When I first went to the United Kingdom in 1997, I thought that the difference between China and Europe was quite big, Li said. But for those born in the 1990s, when they visit Europe or the US, they do not think there is a big difference.The change in thinking among Chinese buyers is showing up in many markets in China where western companies used to control. A study by Credit Suisse published in March found that young Chinese buyers are increasingly showing a home brand bias.More than 90% of young Chinese buyers would prefer to buy home brands, according to the study. At the same time, home companies producing food, drinks, or personal care products increased their share of the market by 3.3% over the last ten years to nearly 70%. Chinese buyers, especially the younger ones, dont just believe that foreign brands are better. Right now, Chinese buyers think China is good and Made in China is not bad at all, Charlie Chen, head of China buyer research at Credit Suisse, told South China Morning Post in March.The Chinese smartphone market is controlled by home companiesHuawei, Oppo, Vivo, and Xiaomi. Apple is the only foreign brand in the top five, but it has lost large ground to the home brands in recent years. Its market share is believed to be down to 37% from a 2015 high of 54%.（1）The main topic of the passage is . A . the quality of Chinese productsB . the changes in Chinese buyers thinkingC . Chinese products in the eye of foreignersD . differences between older and younger Chinese buyers（2）People with a home brand bias will . A . make their own products at homeB . prefer home brands to foreign brandsC . refuse to buy products made outside ChinaD . find a big difference between China and Europe（3）It can be inferred (推断) from paragraph 7 that . A . the price of foreign products has fallen greatlyB . more foreigners choose to buy Chinese productsC . more Chinese people love China than ever beforeD . Apple smartphones are no longer as popular as they used to be（4）Where is the passage most probably taken from? A . A story book.B . A newspaper.C . A science magazine.D . A TV interview.3. （4分）阅读理解 Looking back over 2018 it might be better not to speak of ups and downs（起起伏伏）, but of downs and downs. The year seems to have been one piece of bad news after another. It had terrible disasters-two were Typhoon Mangkhut（山竹）, which brought widespread damage to several countries this summer, and the wildfire in California, which took at least 85 lives. In 2018 we also lost some of the top minds of humanity, including UK physicist Stephen Hawking, Chinese kung fu fiction writer Louis Cha Leung-yung, better known as Jin Yong, and Stan Lee, the US comic（漫画）book writer who created the Marvel universe. This is why it comes as a warm surprise that, according to Googles Year In Search 2018, people spent a lot of time searching for the good on the Internet. According to the video, which was released on Dec 12, people wanted to find answers to questions like how to be a good friend. In the video, we see the moment when a deaf child hears his mothers voice for the very first time. We see video of the Thailand boy soccer players after they were saved from a flooded cave with the help of volunteers from all over the world. We seem to miss all the good in the world, wrote reporter Raka Mukherjee. The video shows us how, even in times of adversity, there is good-if only one makes the effort to look for it. So, it may be true that the past year was full of down moments. But it doesnt mean that were letting it bring us down with it. As is said in the video, The world is filled with people trying to do the best they can.（1）What does the writer mainly want to tell us in Paragraph One？ A . 2018 is not full of ups and downs.B .

Stan Lee created a lot of cartoon characters.D . Stephen Hawking was born in the US.（3）What does the underlined word adversity refer to？ A . down momentB . advantagesC . up momentD . bright future（4）From the passage we can infer（推断）that . A . The video of the Thailand boy soccer players shows a sad story.B . The writer writes this article in order to tell us that 2018 is a sad year.C . The most important reason why people feel down is because they lost a lot of money in 2018.D . People search for the good on the Internet because they wanted to look for something g0od.（5）What does the reporter Raka Mukherjee think of 2018？ A .
