insecurity in Mississippi is severest D Neighborhood banks have no additional requirements for food packaging 57 What is the author s purpose in writing the passage A To warn readers against dangers of insecure food B To urge readers to help the poor out of poverty C To inform readers of the severe food shortage in America D To advocate readers contributing to food relief in America B So called sin taxes on sugary drinks alcohol and tobacco not only work but will help rather than improperly punish the poor according to a major new international analysis Just a day before the UK brings in a levy on sugary drinks experts are urging every country in the world to use taxes to keep people from the eating drinking and smoking habits that will damage their health The experts analyzed the effects of taxes on sugary drinks tabacco and alcohol in countries that have introduced them and found that the criticism that they are punishing the poorest in unfounded Experts did a survey They looked at 13 countries Chile Guatemala Panama Nicaragua Albania Poland Turkey Tajikistan Tanzania Niger Nigeria India and Timor Leste They found that wealthier families generally spend more on alcohol soft drinks and snacks In India for instance wealthier households spent seven times more on alcohol and three times more on soft drinks and snacks compared to poorer households So those households end up paying a larger proportion of any tax On the other hand taxes have a greater impact on the smaller household budgets of poorer families They respond by buying less with greater benefits for their health In the UK say the authors the response to the possible introduction of a minimum price for alcohol was estimated to be 7 6 times larger in the poorest households compared with the wealthiest In Mexico the introduction of a sugary drinks tax resulted in an average of 4 2 litres less of soft drinks purchased per person with a 17 decrease in purchases among lower income groups and almost no change in higher income groups In Lebanon they say a 50 increase in the price of cigarettes would lead to twice as many people quitting smoking in poorer households as wealthy families The evidence suggests that concerns about higher taxes on tobacco alcohol and soft drinks harming the poor are overstated said Dr Rachel Nugent from RTI International in Seattle USA and chair of the Lancet Taskforce on NCDs and economics Some degree of taxation on tobacco is common in many countries and while we are starting to see progress on alcohol taxes there is much more governments should be doing in both high and low income countries to consider the careful introduction of taxes on other unhealthy products like soft drinks and snacks Price policies such as taxes will be a key part of the response to rising rates of non communicable diseases 慢性非传染病 The UK sugar tax is a levy on the manufacturers of 18p per litre for drinks containing 5g of sugar per 100ml and 24p on those with 8g per 100ml Many companies have reformulated their products often swapping artificial sweeteners for sugar Some like Coca Cola have decided to stick to the original recipe and the price will rise although the bottles and cans will shrink to reduce the impact 58 What do we know about the sin taxes A They receive warm welcome in developing countries B They help people get rid of unhealthy lifestyles C They have the same effects on the poor and rich D They have a deeper influence on groups with high income 59 Which of the following is TRUE about the responses to sin taxes A The public have turned a deaf ear to it B The government has introduced taxes on snacks C Many companies have raised the price of their products D Coca Cola will use smaller packages to counter the impacts 60 The author support his ideas in the passage by A giving examples B telling stories C analyzing causes and effects D reasoning and concluding C I d be lying if I said a dog like robot opening a door for another dog like robot doesn t creep me out A full discussion of robot dogs is for another day but for now researchers studying the cognition 认 知 and welfare of real dogs have a less threatening view of dogs and technology particularly when touchscreens are involved Like you animals can learn to interact with the content displayed on touchscreens and their touch reveals something about their choice which in turn reveals something about their mind Animals both on and off land can be trained to use touchscreens from chimpanzees to dogs cats and even dolphins among others Touchscreen studies have explored how and what dogs categorize their ability to learn by exclusion 排 除 and how they discriminate between different images An added bonus is that once a dog has mastered the touchscreen humans can remove themselves from the study and can t unconsciously give signals to the dog Researchers are now posing a new set of questions are touchscreens beneficial to the user Can touchscreens exercise the dog s mind in addition to serving as a window into it No better place to start than with older pet dogs a group facing a unique set of challenges Aging dogs can have reduced physical activity compared to their younger counterparts Less attention is often given to their learning training and other mental activities after all who hasn t heard the wrong proverb You can t teach an old dog new tricks But dog minds are not meant to be inactive Instead studies point to the fact that aging seems to be slowed by mental and physical stimulation and thus stopping these activities might actually lead to faster aging in dogs Lisa Wallis and colleagues at the Senior Family Dog Project at ELTE University in Budapest are exploring the effects of touchscreens on dog physiological behavioral and cognitive well being Their recent conference paper gives us a look at how dogs learn to use the touchscreen and the direction of future research Over the course of a number of sessions dogs learned that when they nose touch a particular image on the screen a food treat pops out At first only a single image appears on the screen Once the dogs reliably learn to nose touch the image they move on to discrimination training where two images appear together and only one image is correct Only two out of one hundred thirty dogs were unable to grasp the task and three displayed frustration suggesting touchscreens are within the capacity of the majority of senior dogs Wallis and colleagues will continue investigating long term effects of touchscreen use but it seems promising The positive association to the touchscreen is so strong that on several occasions when the dog was alone the trainer had stepped out to answer the phone and the feeder failed dogs continued to work on the touchscreen with no reward until the end of the session Owners even those initially skeptical were impressed by the strategies their dogs used They also observed that dogs slept soundly upon returning home from touchscreen sessions highlighting that mental activity can have some of the same effects as physical exercise Further studies will explore the effects of long term touchscreen use on dog personality activity levels measures of well being and influence on the dog human bond Stay tuned 61 What can we learn from the first two paragraphs A Animals can decide the content shown on touchscreens B Animals naturally have the ability to use touchscreens C People can discriminate between dogs abilities by exclusion D People can tell dogs needs through their touch on the screen 62 By using the proverb in paragraph 4 the author intends to stress A aging dogs are too old to learn new skill B aging dogs experience a decline in energy C training younger dogs is more productive D training aging dogs is possible and beneficial 63 What is revealed by the research conducted by Lisa Wallis A The dogs master the touchscreen use step by step B Rewards are a must for dogs to finish the session C The dogs regard nose touch as a form of physical exercise D It remains to be seen whether it has a positive effect on dogs 64 What does the passage mainly talk about A How robot dogs have threatened the world B How people establish better dog human bonds C How touchscreens can be employed to train dogs D How long held myths about dogs mislead people D One by one prejudices are disappearing in the West People may harbour private suspicions that other people s race or sex makes them inferior but to say so openly is totally taboo One old prejudice remains respectable though Just ask a childless person They are not charged to special taxes as they were in Soviet Russia nor are they driven from their homes as they still are in some poor countries The childless nonetheless come in for a lot of criticism Some point out that non parents are failing to produce the future workers who will pay for their pensions Childless politicians are charged with not having a proper stake 利 害 关 系 in society He talks to us about the future but he doesn t have children complained Jean Marie Le Pen co founder of the National Front party of Emmanuel Macron who went on to win the French presidency Similar attacks on Theresa May and Angela Merkel also failed but researchers find that many voters quietly agree The charges against the childless should be thrown out along with other social prejudice In many rich countries between 15 and 20 of women and a slightly higher proportion of men will not have children The share is rising Some have medical problems others do not meet the right person in time still others decide they do not want them Whatever the cause the attacks on the childless are baseless If non breeders are selfish they have a strange way of showing it They are more likely to set up charitable foundations than people with children and much more likely to donate money to good causes According to one American estimate the mere fact of not having children raises the amount a person leaves to charity by a little over 10 000 The childless are thus a small but useful counterweight to the world s parents who stop social immobility by passing on their social and economic advantages to their children The fact that so many senior politicians lack offspring 子 孙 ought to put to rest the idea that they do not care for society Five of the G7 countries are led by childless men and women Mr Macron Mrs May Mrs Merkel Shinzo Abe and Paolo Gentiloni have their faults but they are not notably less able than Justin Trudeau who has three children let alone Donald Trump who has five Their opportunities for nepotism 裙带关系 are limited And they spare their countries dynastic politics The charge that childless people fail to pull their weight in population is correct but is less serious than it appears Those who do not have children do put pressure on public pension systems Governments have to do unpopular things like making pensions less generous as Japan has done or accepting more immigrants as some Western countries have done But to sustain 维 持 public pensions in the long term countries do not actually need more parents What they need instead is more babies It is possible to combine a high rate of childlessness with a high birth rate provided people who become parents have more than one or two children That was the pattern in many Western countries a century ago Ireland yet another country with a childless leader still manages it today The childless also do everyone else a favour by creating wonderful works of art British novelists have been especially likely to have no offspring think of Hilary Mantel P G Wodehouse and the Bront sisters In September last year Britain put Jane Austen on its ten pound note That decision has was controversial though it was hard to see why Few people have written as shrewdly 出 神 入 化 about money or about families even though Austen did not marry and had no children 65 What is the main idea of Paragraph 2 A The childless often get punished in society B The childless often come under sharp criticism C Most successful politicians have no children D Childlessness affects the result of an election 66 The childless are prejudiced because people think the childless A have a strange way to show selfishness B set a bad example for young people C are not as able as those with children D are the government s financial burden 67 What does the underlined word it in Paragraph 6 refer to A Accepting more immigrants B Reducing the pensions for the aged C Encouraging parents to have more children D Supporting the political leaders with no children 68 What is the author s attitude towards the childless A Understanding B Skeptical C Disappointed D Reserved 69 Which of the following shows the structure of the passage to represent Paragraphs 1 to 7 70 What is the best title for the passage A In defence of the childless B In hope of having a child or not C Reasons for not having children D Measures to address aging problems 第四部分 任务型阅读 共 10 小题 每小题 1 分 满分 10 分 请认真阅读下列短文 并根据所读内容在文章后表格中的空格里填入一个最恰当的 单词 注意 请将答案谢在答题纸上相应题号的横线上 每个空格只填一个单词 Hearing loss that s an older person s problem
