11、 and their place in it.Two U. S.based groups, the Council on Foreign Relations and the National Geographic, Society commissioned an online survey earlier this year. They wanted to know what young people educated in American colleges knew about geography, U. S. foreign policy, recent international ev
12、ents, and economics.The survey was given to over 1,200 Americans between the ages of 18 and 26 years. All of them presently attending, or having previously graduated from, a 2-or 4-year college or university.The average test score, out of 75 total possible answers, was 55 percent. The study identifi
13、es a few important problems. For example, only 30 percent knew that the only part of the U. S. government that can declare war is Congress. Only 60% of those taking the survey could identify Brazil on a world map.Part of the problem, argue the organizers of the survey, is the internet. They say it i
14、s becoming harder to find high-quality information about world events amongst all the fake news and trivia which swamp the web. Forty-three percent of those questioned said they read about the news on Facebook.Another problem is that most college courses do not require students to learn about intern
15、ational issues. If such information is not required, Richard Haass from the Council on Foreign Relations said, then the United States could have leaders like Gary Johnson. He was a recent presidential candidate who did not know about the Syrian city of Aleppo when a reporter asked him about it.The s
16、urvey results were not all bad. The young people also demonstrated a good understanding of climate change and renewable energy. And the majority of them said that international issues were becoming more important to them.Haass says these findings suggest the need to find was to get good information

29、It has been regarded as the beginning of the holiday shopping season. Although its not an official holiday, millions of employers give their employees the day off, and many people use that day to get a jump-start on their holiday shopping. A similar day in Canada and Great Britain is called “Boxing
30、Day”.Black Friday has become somewhat of a marketing sensation(营销效应) in recent years. Since 2005, it has been the busiest shopping day of the year. To lure shoppers, retailers (零售商) routinely open their doors as early as 4 a. m. and offer special sales and promotions to the shoppers that arrive earl
31、y. Some of the special deals offered by stores are only available in limited quantities. That is why some shoppers intent on getting the best deals often camp out in front of stores overnight so that theyll be the first in line when the doors open.But why Black Friday? Historians believe the name st
32、arted in Philadelphia in the mid-1960s. Bus drivers and police used “Black Friday” to describe the heavy traffic that would block city streets the day after Thanksgiving as shoppers headed to the stores.Businesses, however, didnt like the negative tone associated with the “Black Friday” name. In the
33、 early 1980s, a more positive explanation of the name began to spread. According to this alternative explanation, Black Friday is the day when retailers finally begin to turn a profit for the year. In accounting terms (会计行业), operating at a loss is called being “in the red” because accountants tradi
34、tionally used red ink to show negative amounts. Positive amounts were usually shown in black ink. Thus, being “in the black” is a good thing because it means stores are operating at a profit.Recently, for those who are too busy to shop on Black Friday or who just dont want to fight the crowds, the M

The celebration aims t
38、o raise awareness about the health and economic benefits of breastfeeding One goal of this years 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 2
39、016 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 c
40、loseness 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 ch
41、ild. 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 br
42、eastfed 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
43、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?ATo introduce the topic of the text.BTo emphasize that breastfeeding is of great benefit.CTo tell us the background of World Breastfeeding Week.DTo inform us

46、（10分）When somebody gets sick or is hurt in an accident, there are several different ways that doctors can try to help them. One of these is to give medicine that fights the sickness or helps the sick persons body to fight it. However, if some parts of a body are very sick or damaged, then doctors mi
47、ght need to remove them. Another way doctors can help is to grow new tissue to replace what is sick or damaged. This is called regenerative medicine (再生医学). Regenerative medicine sounds like something from a science fiction movie but it is not a new idea. Inside our bones, we have something called marrow, which makes our blood and keeps us healthy. Doctors have been giving sic
