• 2．Hunger has been troubling the world.In 2016，the number of hungry people in the world reached one billion for the first time.It's difficult not to be shocked by the fact that more than one in seven people in the world do not have enough to eat.
     The UN figures that almost two thirds of the world's hungry people are in Asia，which is of course the world's most populous continent.More than a quarter are in sub-Saharan Africa.Although this place has a much lower population than Asia，it has the highest percentage of hungry people.Almost all of the rest are in Latin America，North Africa and the Caribbean.
     There are many reasons for world hunger.They include wars，droughts，floods，and the overuse of farmland.All these factors affect food production.Many people also blame greedy businessmen for pushing up the prices of basic foods in the global market.In fact，many people are starving just because they're poor.Therefore，the most important reason，quite simply，is poverty.If we can't pull out this root，we'll never be able to solve food shortage.
     Although many people make the obvious point that there would be less hunger if the global population were smaller，few people would argue that there is not enough food to go around.The basic problem seems to be not a lack of food，but its distribution.In the last 50 years，global food production has risen even more quickly than the global population.
     There are many areas of the world in which people generally have more than enough food.In those places，being overweight is a far bigger problem than hunger.The answer to world hunger，therefore，may be a balanced food distribution around the whole world.Everyone will have enough to eat，but not to overeat.
  
  （1）14.Which continent has the highest rate of hungry people？

  
  A．Asia.
  B．Africa.
  C．America.
  D．Europe.
  （2）15.According to the last paragraph，

  results in the poverty.
  A．not enough production
  B．slow growth of food
  C．consuming too much food
  D．imbalance of food distribution
  （3）16.Maybe the author would write about

  if there were a sixth paragraph.
  A．how to make food distribution balanced
  B．when to get rid of world hunger thoroughly
  C．who is to blame for the world hunger
  D．what to do to help the hungry people

• 3．At 1，345 meters above sea level，Ben Nevis is definitely not the world's most difficult mountain to climb.But things get considerably tricky if instead of hiking shoes you put on a pair of 5-inch high heels，especially if you're a guy.One English teenager recently proved that it was not impossible.
     Ben Conway，a 19-year-old art student from London，recently took up the challenge as a way to stand out in an application for a scholarship for the School of Communication Arts in Brixton.He started his unusual high-heel climb at 8 a.m.，on June 27，and was joined by Callum MacKenzie Allen，a friend from his art foundation year，who videotaped the whole thing for a two-minute video that served as his application project.The whole climb took five hours and wasn't the smoothest experience.
     Halfway up Ben Navis，one of his shoes broke，so he had to tape the shoes to his feet to make sure they stayed on.The weather didn't make it easy for him either，as he claimed that it rained pretty much the whole time，and he had to go against 40 to 50 miles an hour winds.Due to these difficult conditions，Ben and his friend had to turn back after reaching 900 meters up the mountain.
     Apart from providing a unique art school application project，the high-heel climb also allowed the 19-year-old to raise some money for worthy causes，like Sal's Shoes，which provides footwear for barefoot children around the world.
     "Raising money for charity brings happiness to people's lives and if I can do something ridiculous and bring someone happiness，then that's what it's all about"，Ben said.
  
  （1）What can replace the underlined word "tricky" in Paragraph 1？

  
  A．Pleasant.
  B．Boring.
  C．Tough.
  D．Smooth.
  （2）Why did Allen videotape the high-heel climb for Ben？

  
  A．To prove nothing is impossible.
  B．To record a special experience.
  C．To promote their friendship.
  D．To assist in Ben's application.
  （3）What does Paragraph 3 focus on？

  
  A．The difficulties in the climb.
  B．The climbing route.
  C．The terrible weather.
  D．The unexpected incident.
  （4）What can best describe Ben's story？

  
  A．Puzzling.
  B．Inspiring.
  C．Exciting.
  D．Frightening.

• 5．Lots of people find it hard to get up in the morning and put the blame on the alarm clock.In fact，the key to easy morning wake-up lies in resting your body clock.（1）

  Here is how to make one.
     （2）

  In order to make a change，you need to decide why it's important.Do you want to get up in time to have breakfast with your family，get in some exercise or just be better prepared for your day？Once you are clear about your reason，tell your family or roommates about the change you want to make.
     Rethink mornings.Now that you know why you want to wake up，consider re-arranging your morning activities.If you want time to have breakfast with your family，save some time the night before by setting out clothes，shoes，and bags. （3）

  That's a quarter-hour more you could be sleeping if you bought a coffee maker with a timer.
     Keep your sleep/wake schedule on weekends.If you're tired out by Friday night，sleeping in on Saturday could sound wonderful.But compensating（彌補(bǔ)）on the weekends actually feeds into your sleepiness the following week，a recent study found.（4）

  
     Keep a record and evaluate it weekly.Keep track of your efforts and write down how you feel.After you've tried a new method for a week，take a look at your record. （5）

  If not，take another look at other methods you could try.
  
  A.A better plan for sleep can help.
  B.If the steps you take are working，keep it up.

  G.Reconsider the 15 minutes you spend in line at the café to get coffee.
