The idea is to reduce something harmful from drinking too much and start the new year in a healthier way. The 31-day exercise began as a public health event in the UK about eight years ago and has been growing ever since.Dry January is a way to improve your relationship with wine, says Keith Heinzerling, a medicine researcher in California. “Taking time away from drinking for a short period of time is easier for many people than going straight to a full control,” he says. “Even just a few weeks give you a fresh attitude about health and the chance to break bad habits you may have with wine.”________, according to Dr. Heinzerling. “Within just few days of not drinking, your blood pressure and heart beat will be lower, and you’ll have improved blood sugar level, better sleep, and fewer worries,” he says.Another point is that quitting wine often makes other good habits—exercise and healthy eating, for example—easier to start and keep on, which in turn leads to more good effects.For those who are worrying they might not be able to control themselves not to drink, Dr. Heinzerling says, “An important sign is how you feel when you wake up in the morning. For example, Johnson, a drinker lover, who wakes up with coughing or a strong need for a drink, should not do Dry January without medical help,” he says.For everyone—social drinkers and possible problem drinkers—one key to a positive Dry January is to see it not as a month of biting your teeth and getting through it until you can drink again, but rather the start of a healthier lifestyle overall.19. According to the passage, Dry January is to ________.A. advise people to drink more wine in JanuaryB. describe the harm of drinking too much wineC. help people to drink less and start a healthier yearD. introduce the proper ways to keep away from wine20. Which can best fill in the blank in Paragraph 3?A. People will see doctors more oftenB. It’s a sign of increasing the amount of sleepC. There are still many mental problems at presentD. It doesn’t take long to start to see active changes21. The underlined word “quitting” in Paragraph 4 is closest in meaning to ________.A. trying outB. giving upC. depending onD. picking up22. What’s the writer’s attitude towards Dry January?A. Supportive.B. Doubtful.C Careful.D. Objective.CAbout fifteen years ago, Andrew McLindon, a successful businessman as well as a cyclist, was riding his bike as usual in Austin, Texas, when he thought about a friend’s 12-year-old son. The boy had never known the joy of biking because he suffered from a serious disease in the brain, which often causes balance (平衡) problems.When he got home, McLindon went online and found a three-wheel shaped bike with a seat belt, perfect for a child with balance problems.Soon the boy was riding around the street with his friends, having fun and getting exercise at the same time. But there was more, as McLindon read from his friend’s expression. “To see his son communicating with other kids,” McLindon says. “I’ll never forget the smile on his face.”That smile lit the McLindon Family Foundation (基金会) called the Bike Project. With great efforts, the foundation works with some local hospitals to search for children who can get help from owning such a bike, which can meet the special needs of the child. The bike includes a part of seat that supports a person’s head, a seat belt and a braking (刹车) part in the back. The bike is expensive—$3,000 to $4,000, and that’s a present with the foundation’s huge support. It’s enough lucky for kids to get one.“We worked with a 14-year-old girl who has spina (脊柱) disease,” says McLindon. “She spent most days on the couch watching TV. Soon after she got her bike, she was training for special-needs sports. In a magazine interview, she said, ‘I always knew there was a player in me.’ ”So far, the foundation has given away 450 bikes, and that’s just a start. “I do a lot of things. I run a lot of companies,” McLindon says. “But getting these kids their bikes is the most important thing that I do.”23. McLindon started the McLindon Family Foundation because ________.A. he wanted kids to fall in love with ridingB. he was satisfied with his friend’s experienceC. the foundation could offer the local kids better lifeD. the joys of the boy woke him to care about more kids24. From the underlined sentence in Paragraph 5, we can infer ________.A. she got used to the life sitting on the couchB. the Bike Project is a life changer to a kid like herC. she always knew it was not easy to live with dreamsD. the Bike Project has raised money to help treat her disease25. Which of the following can best describe McLindon?A. Warm-hearted.B. Wide-minded.C. Strong-willed.D. Well-educated.26. What is the best title for this passage?A. A Beautiful Smile of a FatherB. A Terrible Disease in BrainC. The Success of a BusinessmanD. The Special Bike to the KidsDSales of electric vehicles (EVs), like electric cars and electric buses, grew 40 percent last year worldwide. Nearly a third of drivers want their next car to be electric.But EVs are nothing new. Scottish inventor Robert Anderson developed the first electric carriage (马车) around 1832, then William Morrison of Iowa perfected the model years later. By the turn of the century, nearly a third of all road cars in the US were electric. One of the earliest fans of electric cars, Thomas Edison said that electric cars would need to depend on powerful batteries (电池), though he was unsuccessful in developing one himself. However, one of today’s best-known electric car companies called Tesla has successfully produced electric ones.EVs are becoming more affordable though some of them are still expensive. Tesla’s latest one will start at $200,000, while the cheapest model is $41,000. Plenty of others are even more affordable. Companies like Nissan and Chevy all offer models for around $30,000. Meanwhile, many states in the US will offer buying incentives (刺激) if people are choosing an electric car.In China, there are about 49,000 public energy stations outside, which make it easy to get electricity. But for most electric car owners, charging (充电) at home is the way to go. It takes longer, but you can do it overnight when electricity is cheapest.Most EVs get about 250 miles from a full charge, which is far less than the distance most gas-powered cars can go on a full tank. But EVs are catching up. Tesla comes the closest. Its 2020 Model S gets about 400 miles on a single charge, and the newer 2021 one gets closer to 500. Charging technology is also improving. For example, BMW makes a fast-charging system that adds about 60 miles of drive in about six minutes.EVs produce far fewer wastes than common cars do, however, they aren’t without environmental problems. For example, coal is still burned to create the electricity that charges them. EV production is also harmful because of the need to extract lithium (提炼锂) for the batteries.27. Paragraph 2 mainly tells us ________ of EV.A. the inventorsB. the salesC. the advantagesD. the development28. Which of the following is TRUE according to the passage?A. The price of EVs is keeping rising these days.B. Half of the families will choose EVs in the near future.C. Producing an EV will also cause an environmental problem.D. It’s still difficult to get charged while driving an EV outside.29. How does the writer show the improvement of charging technology in Paragraph 5?A. By listing numbers.B. By expressing ideas.C. By making examples.D. By comparing differences.30. The passage is written to ________.A. introduce the facts about EVsB. guide people how to save electricityC. encourage people to choose EVsD make people know the history of EVs卷二说明：本卷共有四大题，31小题，满分45分三、词汇运用（本题有15小题，每小题1分，共计15分）A.用方框中所给单词的适当形式填空。每词限用一次。care for nine hero sudden succeed31.
