15、ted economy in which 2 largely determine what shall be produced by spending their money in the marketplace for those goods and services that they want most. Private businessmen, 3 to make profits, produce these goods and services in 4 with other businessmen; and the profit motive, operating under co

16、mpetitive pressures, largely determines how these goods and services are produced. Thus, in the American economic system it is the demand of individual consumers, 5 with the desire of businessmen to 6 profits and the desire of individual to maximize their incomes, that together determine what shall

17、be produced and how resources are used to produce it. An important factor in a market-oriented economy is the 7 by which consumer demands can be expressed and responded to by producers. In the American economy, this mechanism is provided by a price system, a process in which prices rise and fall in

18、8 to relative demands of consumers and supplies offered by seller-producers. If the product is in 9 supply relative to the demand, the price will be bid up and some consumers will be eliminated from the market. If, on the other hand, producing more of a commodity results in reducing its cost, this w

19、ill tend to increase the supply offered by seller-producers, which in turn will lower the price and permit more consumers to buy the product. Thus, price is the 10 mechanism in the American economic system. A. competition B. maximize C. short D. coupled E. individual F. response G. eliminated H. pri

It“s in our drinks, it“s in our foods, and it“s hidden in places we never would think of. Many would call sugar their friend in

21、 time of need, but in fact their so-called “good friend“ could turn out to be their worst enemy in disguise. Sugar for many is something they may have been battling with for a long time. Here“s a simple three-step process to help you start to win back the battle for your health. B. The first step is

22、 to be aware of what sugar really does to your body. Most people will say they “know“ that they shouldn“t have sugar, but they really can“t help it. To me that is a lack of true awareness of what sugar does to oneself. I don“t think many people will say that they want to hurt their body on purpose,

23、but unless they know it“s really happening they will continue down that road. Sugar is slower to impact our health, and it“s that slow destructive process that is the most dangerous. Unfortunately, most people don“t know the damage until it has already been done. C. Sugar increases fat storing. Poss

24、ibly the most important hormone in the body is insulin (胰岛素), when it comes to weight loss and health. Insulin is the main hormone that we have full control over daily through our diet and lifestyle. When we eat sugar and it enters into our bloodstream too quickly, we have a spike in blood sugar lev

25、els. Now in times of high activity we are able to bum it off, but if we are sitting around this is not a good thing. So in response to that high level of blood sugar, the body will release more insulin into the bloodstream. Insulin will then take the excess glucose (葡萄糖) and try to find a place to s

26、tore it. If your muscles are all full or have insulin resistance then the best place to put the excess glucose is fat cells. When insulin is high, the fat cells are told to shut down any process of releasing stored fat into the blood for burning. With chronic high insulin spikes comes a resistance t

27、o it by your cells, leading to more insulin production, leading to more fat storing, and more resistance, eventually going down a road of diabetes and ill health for the whole body. D. Sugar also disrupts normal brain function. I think most people can relate to mood swings and energy highs / lows th

28、at come after a high sugar meal. Sugar can also be the source of many people“s increased anxiety and depression. Let us not also forget the kids with ever-increasing attention “disorders“ and behavioral issues. Sugar is not helping with that, either. In fact, there have been many studies that show w

29、hen taking sugar out of a kid“s diet and increasing fat intake, their attention ability increases, their behavior changes for the better. E. Sugar decreases your overall health and makes you age quicker. Too much sugar will lower your overall immune system, increase destructive inflammation, lead to

30、 essential mineral deficiencies in the body, feed bad bacteria growth in your gut and other wonderful stuff. Aging is just a fancy word for the body breaking down quicker than it can repair itself, as that is what happens when we get older. Aging also is accelerated by the increasing risks of all de

31、generative diseases such as diabetes, osteoporosis, heart disease and cancers. We are all going to get older, but it doesn“t mean that we have to “age“ quicker. F. The second step is to realize you are in 100% control of your actions. This could be the most underrated yet the most important step, as

32、 we are the only person who controls what we put into our body. Everything starts in what we choose to put in our mouths. Some people may say they can“t control their sugar cravings, but that is already admitting defeat and giving up power to some “cosmic sugar influence“ out there. We can pass on d

33、essert, we don“t need to buy a candy bar, we can drink water instead of soda, but the choice is ours to make. G. Also many like to call it an “addiction“. This is just another way to give up your own personal power of choice. While sugar can have “addictive like“ qualities, it“s not something that y

34、ou own or is a part of you. Fight the battle and you will get over the addictive feelings, they will go away. But if you call it an addiction and make it part of you, then it is yours to keep forever. Be free from it, let go. Take back control and anything is possible. H. The third step is to just l

35、ive the daily journey one choice at a time. Life is just a series of present moments, and the choices we make in those moments. So let“s just focus on what we can do right now instead of worrying about what has happened in the past or may or may not happen in the future. “Now“ is all we have and all

36、 we need to focus on. I. Choose to eat more natural foods. Choose whole food proteins, healthy fats and natural sources of carbohydrates (碳水化合物). If it wasn“t around a thousand years ago or is made by man (and not nature), chances are you don“t need it. Note how it says “Choose“ above, as it is your

37、 choice. Find the hidden sources of sugars and remove them. Sugar is hidden in places such as sauces, ketchup, soups, processed foods, drinks, so called health bars, and more. Become a label reader and see how much sugar you are consistently putting into your body. Don“t fall for the marketing trick

38、 either of “low fat“, because that usually means “more sugar“.（分数：71.00）(1).We are able to lower blood sugar levels by taking part in intense activities.（分数：7.10）(2).If you consider sugar as an addiction and call it something that you own, you won“t get rid of it forever.（分数：7.10）(3).In the author“s

39、 opinion, the reason why many people can“t help having sugar is that they are unaware of its danger.（分数：7.10）(4).When insulin in the bloodstream is high, fat cells will stop releasing stored fat.（分数：7.10）(5).The author believes that sugar which we called “good friend“ in time of need in fact is a hi

40、dden enemy.（分数：7.10）(6).Many studies show that sugar-free diets with more fat can improve children“s attention ability.（分数：7.10）(7).The truth that we get older is that our body breaks down faster than it can be self-repaired.（分数：7.10）(8).You yield to your addictive feelings, which means you give up

41、your own personal power of choice.（分数：7.10）(9).The author believes that taking high sugar meals may result in mood fluctuation.（分数：7.10）(10).To be healthy, what we should do now is to eat natural foods and get rid of the hidden sources of sugars.（分数：7.10）十一、Section C(总题数：0，分数：0.00)十二、Passage One(总题数

42、：1，分数：71.00)By education, I mean the influence of the environment upon the individual to produce a permanent change in the habits of behaviour, of thought and of attitude. It is in being thus susceptible to the environment that man differs from the animals, and the higher animals from the lower. The

43、 lower animals are influenced by the environment but not in the direction of changing their habits. Their instinctive responses are few and fixed by heredity. When transferred to an unnatural situation, such an animal is led astray by its instincts. Thus the “ant-lion“ whose instinct implies it to b

44、ore into loose sand by pushing backwards with abdomen, goes backwards on a plate of glass as soon as danger threatens, and endeavors, with the utmost exertions to bore into it. It knows no other mode of flight, “or if such a lonely animal is engaged upon a chain of actions and is interrupted, it eit

45、her goes on vainly with the remaining actions (as useless as cultivating an unsown field) or dies in helpless inactivity“. Thus a net-making spider which digs a burrow and rims it with a bastion of gravel and bits of wood, when removed from a half finished home, will not begin again, though it will

46、continue another burrow, even one made with a pencil. Advance in the scale of evolution along such lines as these could only be made by the emergence of creatures with more and more complicated instincts. Such beings we know in the ants and spiders. But another line of advance was destined to open o

47、ut a much more far-reaching possibility of which we do not see the end perhaps even in man. Habits, instead of being born ready-made (when they are called instincts and not habits at all) were left more and more to the formative influence of the environment, of which the most important factor was th

48、e parent who now cared for the young animal during a period of infancy in which vaguer instincts than those of the insects were moulded to suit surroundings which might be considerably changed without harm. This means, one might at first imagine, that gradually heredity becomes less and environment

49、more important. But this is hardly the truth and certainly not the whole truth. For although fixed automatic responses like those of the insect-like creatures are no longer inherited, although selection for purification of that sort is no longer going on, selection for educability is very definitely still of importance. The ability to acquire habits can be conceivably inherited just as much as can definite responses to narrow situations. Besides, since a mechanismis now, for the first time, created
