21．（6分）World Breastfeeding Week(世界母乳喂养周) is an annual celebration held during the first week in August in more than 120 countries. The celebration aims to raise awareness about the health and economic benefits of breastfeeding One goal of this year’s event is to encourage governments to support workplace policies that help mothers breastfeed their babies for as long as possible. Another goal is to confirm that breastfeeding is normal and natural.
In 2016 The Lancet published a series on breastfeeding. The Lancet claimed that deaths of 823, 000 children and 20,000 mothers each year could be averted through universal breastfeeding, along with economic savings of US$300 billion. Many doctors recommend that babies be breastfed because the milk and closeness to the mother provide health benefits for newborns. Experts say breastfeeding allows a mother to share her immune protection with her baby. In countries with poor water quality especially, breastfeeding protects a newborn from dangerous infections.
Breastfeeding might benefit not just the child. In recent years, researchers have also been studying the health benefits of breastfeeding for the mother. A new study found that women who breastfed may have lowered their risk of heart disease or stroke by an average of 10 percent when they became older. The researchers found that women who breastfed had a 9 percent lower risk of heart disease and an 8 percent decreased risk of stroke. These percentages are in comparison to women who had never breastfed. The benefit of breastfeeding was even greater for women who nursed their babies for two years or more. Their heart disease risk was 18 percent lower and the risk of stroke 17 percent less than for those women who did not breastfeed.
1、What is the function of the first paragraph?
A．To introduce the topic of the text.
B．To emphasize that breastfeeding is of great benefit.
C．To tell us the background of World Breastfeeding Week.
D．To inform us of the goals of World Breastfeeding Week this year.
2、What does the underlined word “averted” in Paragraph 2 mean?
A．Increased.
B．Prevented.
C．Killed.
D．Improved.
3、What is the benefit of breastfeeding?
A．It can let a mother liver a longer life.
B．It can make the new baby never get ill.
C．It can reduce the baby’s risk of heart disease.
D．It can protect a new baby from dangerous infections.
4、What can be the best title for the text?
A．Different Researches on Breastfeeding.
B．Advantages and Disadvantages of Breastfeeding.
C．Introductions to 2017 World Breastfeeding Week.

23．（8分）After nearly half a century behind the wheel, Hisao Matsumoto, 85, is not ready to stop driving. “I’m not that old yet,” he says. “I still have 15 more years to go till I reach 100.” Mr. Matsumoto is one of more than 5 million drivers aged 75 or older. A million more will be on the roads by 2021. Worried, the police are trying to persuade many of them out of driving, because over-75s are twice as likely to cause a fatal accident as younger drivers, according to the National Police Agency (NPA).
Nearly half of older drivers who caused fatal accidents had signs of cognitive impairment (认知障碍). Hundreds of older drivers turn the wrong way into motor ways every year. In January an 85-year-old man steered his vehicle into oncoming traffic on a country road, hitting a car and two schoolgirls. Police believe he mistook the accelerator for the brake. The man’s family said he had rejected their requests to hand over his keys many times.
Such stubbornness is common, notes Kazunori Iwakoshi, who heads an NGO that supports elderly drivers. Many drivers argue that they have never had an accident and it is unfair to do that, so they resent themselves being cast aside.
Since last March over-75s renewing their licenses must take cognitive tests to screen for dementia (老年痴呆). The NPA expects these changes to take 15,000 drivers off the road each year. Last year more than 250,000 over-75s gave up their licenses after their families’ constant stream of persuasion, says Mr. Iwakoshi. His organization publishes a check list for elderly drivers, aimed at getting them to assess their responses themselves.
Mr. Matsumoto is lucky. His city gives pensioners unlimited access to public transport. However, thousands of elderly people are stuck in rural communities with no buses.
1、Why do the police try to persuade elderly drivers to stop driving?
A．To encourage younger drivers to drive safely.
B．To reduce the number of deadly accidents.
C．To introduce the National Police Agency.
D．To stress the significance of safe driving.
2、Which word is closest in meaning to the underlined word “resent” in paragraph 3?
A．resemble B．support
C．injure D．dislike
3、What does Paragraph 4 mainly talk about?
A．Tests to assess elderly drivers’ responses.
B．Families’ contributions to traffic safety.
C．Ways to renew licenses for elderly drivers.
D．Measures to control the number of elderly drivers.
4、What is implied about the restriction to elderly drivers in the last paragraph?
A．It can cause some new problems.
B．It is popular among elderly drivers.
C．It will do elderly drivers more harm than good.
D．It brings about easy access to public transport.
24．（8分） The editor of the new Cool Camping Britain guide chooses some of his favorite new finds in England, Wales and Scotland.
Cleadale, Isle of Eigg, Inner Hebrides
Is this Britain’s most beautiful campsite? From the grassy point looking seaward to the mountains, it’s not hard for campers to see how the island inspired The Lord of the Rings author’s fantasy landscapes. The campsite itself is as wild and wonderful as its setting.
Open April — September, from ￡5 per tent per night.
Swattesfield, Thornham Magna, Suffolk
Deep in the wilds of north Suffolk, this seven-acre campsite has only been open for a few years, with two fields separated by a lake and surrounded by woodland. The position is perfect. It’s a great place to do nothing but get into nature. You can put up your tent in the bottom field or the woodland beyond.
Open Easter —October, from ￡10 per tent per night.
Pleasant Streams Farm, near St Austell, Cornwall
This site, by a lake, is all about simple pleasures. Located in the former mining village, it has a summerhouse（凉亭）with books and games for a rainy day. There are many animals including pigs, hens, goats and ducks on the farm and a pub just a 10- minute stroll away. There’s very little to do here, no bells and no whistles. Campfires are encouraged.
Open Easter — September, from ￡10 per tent per night.
Troytown Campsite, St Agnes, Isles of Sciily
Its only campsite, Troytown, couldn’t be in a more remote position. Isolation is its greatest advantage — so bring plenty of books to read and don’t expect a phone signal. But at least one of life’s necessities is available. Lying on the hillside overlooking the bay and near the island of the Gugh, it might just win the prize for best beer garden view in England.
Open March-- October, from ￡7. 50 per tent per night,

25．（10分） Put on your wizarding hats, Harry Potter fans, and get ready to fly through the treetops of Hogwart's Forbidden Forest when Universal Orlando launches its newest ride this June.
When Universal Orlando’s newest Wizarding World of Harry Potter ride, Hagrid’s Magical Creatures Motorbike Adventure, opens June 12, it will be a theme park game changer. Case in point: Universal planted 1,200 live trees to recreate the dark woods outside Hogwart’s where the giant gamekeeper Hagrid lives. From there, expect a forest’s worth of incredible twists and turns.
Here are all the details we know so far:
It’s designed by a Harry Potter pro: The art director of the ride, Alan Gilmore, actually worked on the Harry Potter movie sets as well.
You’ll feel like you’re flying through the sky on a magical motorcycle: Although this ride is technically a coaster, it’s designed as an individual motorcycle to mimic the freedom of flight; expect to twist, turn, and rush forward...and backward.
There’s more than one way to ride: You can sit in Hagrid’s driver’s seat or in Harry’s sidecar, and change up who you ride with and how.
You’ll encounter magical creatures: Since Hagrid is the school’s gamekeeper, there’s always a menagerie of magical creatures nearby his home, and this ride will be no different. Expect to see the ferocious three-headed dog Fluffy; mayhem causing Cornish Pixies; and a totally new creature (still under wraps), too.
It’s fast! Hold on to your wands; this ride hits 50mph!
There will be obstacles: What, you thought you'd just fly through the sky without any bad spells coming your way? According to Universal, riders will “Hurl past challenging obstacles, become entangled in a thicket of Devil's Snare...while encountering a few surprises along the way.”
No house elves allowed: Only those over 48 inches can ride (sorry).
1、Which of the following is TRUE?
A．Hagrid's Magical Creatures Motorbike Adventure is newly－opened and has attracted crowds of fans.
B．Alan Gilmore is the director of both this new ride and the Harry Potter movie.
