Rhiannon Lambert, who treats about 180 clients a year with various kinds of eating disorders,
says the number of those caused by “clean eating” ___21___ (double) in the past three years.
“They develop particular habits, or won’t eat food when walking, because they think that food
can only be eaten when they ___22___ (seat),” she said.
Clean eating is promoted by some food bloggers, who are increasingly thought by a number of
medical experts to be having a bad influence on young people today. “Young people lose this and
cannot afford the lifestyle needed to follow it,” Lambert said. Health bloggers ___23___ not
have enough knowledge but offer dangerous advice. These people are now role models ___24___ word
will inspire young people. I have clients who think they have to be a strict vegetarian to be
successful. The extreme form of this is known as
orthorexia nervosa
(健康食品强迫症).
Ursula Philpot, a dietitian at the British Dietetic Association, said, “It is difficult to
blame them completely. If it weren’t the bloggers, then it could be ___25___ else. Orthorexia
affects more girls than boys, although boys are much more affected than girls.” Philpot said,
“At the top of most people’s lists of bad foods includes
gluten
(麸质) and dairy. ___26___ you
talk to young people more, you will find some of them worry all day about eating a biscuit.”
The condition starts out as an attempt ___27___ (eat) more healthily, but those who experience
it fully focus on food quality and purity. “There may be several reasons for someone to take
up clean eating,” Philpot said. “Eating disorders are serious mental illnesses and their causes
are complex. Research is telling us that they may be more biologically based than we thought,
___28___ social and environmental factors also play a part in their development.”
Deanne Jade, the founder of the National Centre for Eating Disorders, said, “A lot of young
people don’t think they need treatment and there are too many messages in the media. What worries
me is that a lot of people ___29___ (promote) these ideas have no knowledge of nutrition. I don’t
know what the solution is, but in many cases, getting people to recover from an eating disorder
means ___30___ (get) them to relax their ideas about clean eating.”
【答案】21. has doubled

26. When / If

Section B
Directions: Fill in each blank with a proper word chosen from the box. Each word can be used only
once. Note that there is one word more than you need.
A recent troubling study showed that “fake news” spread significantly faster, deeper and
more broadly than the truth, and the effect is even more remarkable when regarding news as opposed
to reporting on natural disasters, finance or science. So how can we encourage individuals to
seek ___31___ online content? Leading scholars are trying hard to deal with this question.
Processing new information requires a considerable mental effort, especially when that
information seems to conflict with your ___32___ worldview. It takes the ___33___ to admit you
may be wrong. But with a great amount of conflicting information available, who’s to say what’s
actually true and what’s false? If you can’t tell, why not just make life easy and go with what
supports your current beliefs?
So what ___34___ do we have? Many suggest that we can ___35___ the issue by reforming adult
behavior, but this is aiming too far from source. An alternative solution is using early education
to help individuals recognize these problems and ___36___ critical thinking to the information
they deal with. Currently, there is a push in the US to include Internet information classes into
primary and secondary school curriculums. The movement, which has received some support, aims
to make fact-checking seem like second ___37___ to individuals at an early age.
Primary and secondary school are ___38___ to be supplying students with the skills they need
to develop into productive and informed members of our society. As our society develops, the
curriculum we are teaching our students needs to develop as well.
The Internet is an amazing tool, but to use it most effectively we have to accept its benefits
while also understanding the ways in which it makes us dangerously ___39___. If students are still
learning the practices such as writing in school, shouldn’t they be learning how to ___40___
the Internet responsibly as well?
【答案】31. C 32. E
33. K 34. G
35. J 36. A
37. H 38. B
39. I 40. D
III. Reading Comprehension
Section A
Directions: For each blank in the following passage there are four words or phrases marked A,
B, C and D. Fill in each blank with the word or phrase that best fits the context.
People hold different views on almost anything, mainly because of the culture we are familiar
with or the education we have received. We live in a ___41___ world where people are quick to
point out the faults and imperfections of others, yet seem unaware of their own. Some misguided
souls believe they have a duty to help you to be a better person by telling you what a failure
you really are first and then offering suggestions as to how you can improve.
So what is the possible solution to ___42___? If you are the one forcing others to feel ___43___
themselves, STOP. Make a conscious decision rather than ___44___ the negative aspect of a person’s
performance or attitudes. You’ll offer helpful suggestions from the beginning. If I’m painting
our living room and ___45___ in doing so, I would like my husband to say to me, “This is a tough
job. Can I offer a suggestion that might make it easier for you?” rather than have him point
out what a ___46___ painter I am and then tell me how I should be doing it.
If you are on the ___47___ end of criticism, the “OK” response is a perfect solution. When
someone comments negatively on a task you are doing or a personality issue of yours, a(n) ___48___
response is to defend and attack. However, this approach is rarely effective as it puts both parties
on the ___49___. Instead, simply reply with “OK”. This brief one-word response ___50___ the
other person’s comment without agreeing with it or feeling necessary to engage in a debate about
it.
It is important to remain emotionally attached to what the other person is saying, to listen
without feeling, to be a(n) ___51___ observer. In fact, there is much that one can learn from
a ___52___ review. You can ask yourself: Did I make a mistake? Could I have done better? Did I
give 100% of myself to the task at hand? If so, how can I improve myself? As for
chronic
(习
惯性的) criticizers: It is important to set strict boundary with them. Remove yourself from their
___53___ when necessary.
___54___, one can learn to be “OK” with criticism and not allow it to negatively impact
your life or relationship with the other party. Examine it for any potential ___55___, and then
let it go and just be “OK”.

Section B
Directions: Read the following three passages. Each passage is followed by several questions
or unfinished statements. For each of them there are four choices marked A, B, C and D. Choose
the one that fits best according to the information given in the passage you have just read.
(A)
Being able to land safely is a critically important skill for all flying animals. Comparatively
speaking, ground living animals face no particular challenge when they need to stop running or
crawling, while flying animals move at much higher speed, and they must be careful about how they
land. Hitting the ground, or even water, at full flight speed would be quite dangerous. Before
touching down, they must decrease their speed in order to land safely. Both bats and birds have
mastered the skill of landing, but these two types of flyers go about it quite differently.
In the past it was believed that, in terms of flying mechanics, there was little difference
between bats and birds. This belief was based only on assumption, however, because for years nobody
had actually studied in detail how bats move their wings. In recent years, though, researchers
have discovered a number of interesting facts about bat flight. Bats are built differently from
birds, and their wings are made up of both their front and hind
limbs
(肢体). This makes
coordinating
(协调) their limbs more difficult for bats and, as a result, they are not very good
at flying over longer distances. However, they are much better at the ability to adjust themselves:
a bat can quickly change its direction of flight or completely reverse
it
, something a bird cannot
easily do.
Another interesting characteristic of bat flight is the way in which bats land-upside down!
Unlike birds which touch down on the ground or on tree branches, bats can be observed flying around
and then suddenly hanging upside down from an object overhead. One downside to this landing routine
is that the bats often land with some force, which probably causes pain. However, not all bats
hit their landing spots with the same speed and force; these will vary depending on the area where
a bat species makes its home. For example, a cave bat, which regularly lives on a hard stone ceiling,
is more careful about its landing preparation than a bat more accustomed to landing in leafy
treetops.
56. Which of the following is the topic of the passage?
A. Places where flying animals choose to land.
B. Why scientists have difficulty observing bats.
C. Differences in the eating habits of bats and birds.
D. Ways in which bats move differently from birds.
57. Which of the following is a false assumption about bats that was recently corrected?
A. They cannot hear any sound.
C. They fly similarly to birds.
nd
B. They sleep upside down.
D. They hide in tree branches.
58. The word “
it
” (in 2 paragraph) probably refers to “______”.
A. the distance to the nets
C. the flying direction
B. the sense of flying height
D. the ability to change the speed
59. According to the passage, which of the following is NOT true?
A. Bats might hurt themselves when landing.
B. Bats can hang upside down like birds.
C. Bats can adjust speed before landing.
D. Bats and birds land in different ways.
【答案】56. D 57. C 58. C 59. B
(B)
What is a TEDx event?
TEDx brings the spirit of TED’s mission of “ideas worth spreading” to local communities
around the globe. A TEDx event is a local gathering where live TED-like talks and videos previously
recorded at TED conferences are shared with a community. TEDx events are fully planned and
coordinated independently, on a community-by-community basis. All TEDx events present multiple
issues and a diversity of voices from many disciplines. After all, what’s the fun without a little
variety?
If you want to organize a TEDx event, you’ll need to apply for a TEDx license. No one is
qualified to organize an event without being granted a license by TED.
So you want to organize a TEDx event?
Before you start you should know the TEDx rules, which are non-negotiable and mandatory.
General rules
* We value and welcome young organizers, but if you’re under 18 years old, you must be
supervised by an adult. TED doesn’t grant licenses to individuals associated with controversial
or extremist organizations.
* TED allocates one location-based license series per application. You must live in the city
for which you are applying for a license. Your TEDx event must happen in the city for which you
received the license.
* Your event must maintain the spirit of TED itself: focused on the power of ideas to change
attitudes or lives. Your event may not
exceed
(超过) one day in length.
* Up to 100 individuals may attend your event. Only individuals who have attended an official
TED conference may organize an event with more than 100 attendees. Having attended one or multiple
TEDx events or TEDWomen does not qualify you to host an event for more than 100 guests.
* TEDx events are named after locations, such as cities, neighborhoods, streets etc., and
aim to serve that named community. Event names must comply with the guideline laid out in naming
your event.
Special attentions
※ A TEDx event is not a platform for professional speakers such as motivational speakers
and professional life coaches. Its purpose is to give a platform to those who don’t often have
one.
※ A TEDx event cannot be used to raise money, not even for a charity.
※ A TEDx event can’t be co-branded with an institution except under specific license types
– for a college or university, or for internal events (for corporations and organizations).
※ TEDx events may not be used to promote spiritual or religious beliefs, commercial products
or any kind of political agenda.
※ Every TEDx event either shows only TED Talk videos to its audience, or shows both TED Talk
videos and live speakers from the community. For events less than half a day in length, two TED
Talks videos are required to be shown. For longer events, 25% of the total number of talks must
be official TED Talk videos.
