The celebration aims to raise awareness about the health a

18、nd 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 2016 The Lancet published a series on

19、 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 closeness to the mother provide healt

20、h 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 child. In recent years, researchers ha

21、ve 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 breastfed had a 9 percent lower risk o

22、f 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 percent lower and the risk of stroke

23、 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 of the goals of World Breastfeeding

24、 Week this year.2、What does the underlined word “averted” in Paragraph 2 mean?AIncreased.BPrevented.CKilled.DImproved.3、What is the benefit of breastfeeding?AIt can let a mother liver a longer life.BIt can make the new baby never get ill.CIt can reduce the babys risk of heart disease.DIt can protect

25、 a new baby from dangerous infections.4、What can be the best title for the text?ADifferent Researches on Breastfeeding.BAdvantages and Disadvantages of Breastfeeding.CIntroductions to 2017 World Breastfeeding Week.DBreastfeeding Benefits Both Babies and Mothers.23（8分）In business, theres a speed diff

26、erence: Its the difference between how important a firms leaders say speed is to their competitive strategy and how fast the company actually moves. The difference is important regardless of industry and company size. Companies fearful of losing their competitive advantage spend much time and money

27、looking for ways to pick up the speed.In our study of 343 businesses, the companies that chose to go, go, go to try to gain an edge ended up with lower sales and operating incomes than those that paused at key moments to make sure they were on the right track. Whats more, the firms that “slowed down

28、 to speed up” improved their top and bottom lines, averaging 40% higher sales and 52% higher operating incomes over a three-year period.How did they disobey the laws of business physics, taking more time than competitors yet performing better? They thought differently about what “slower” and “faster

29、” mean. Firms sometimes fail to understand the difference between operational speed (moving quickly) and strategic speed (reducing the time it takes to deliver value). Simply increasing the speed of production, for example, may be one way to try to reduce the speed difference. But that often leads t

30、o reduced value over time, in the form of lower-quality products and services.In our study, higher-companies with strategic speed always made changes when necessary. They became more open to ideas and discussion. They encouraged new ways of thinking. And they allowed time to look back and learn. By

31、contrast, performance suffered at firms that moved fast all the time, paid too much attention to improving efficiency, stuck to tested methods, didnt develop team spirit among their employees, and had little time thinking about changes.Strategic speed serves as a kind of leadership. Teams that regul

32、arly take time to get things right, rather than plough ahead full bore, are more successful in meeting their business goals. That kind of strategy must come from the top.1、What does the underlined part “gain an edge” in Paragraph 2 mean?AGet an advantage. BIncrease the speed.CReach the limit. DSet a

33、 goal.2、The underlined part “the laws of business physics” in Paragraph 3 means _.Aspending more time and performing worseBspending more time and performing betterCspending less time and performing worseDspending less time and performing better3、What can we learn from the text?AHow fast a firm moves

34、 depends on how big it is.BHow competitive a firm is depends on what it produces.CFirms guided by strategic speed take time to make necessary changes.DFirms guided by operational speed take time to develop necessary team spirit.4、According to the author, what is the key to deciding strategic speed?A

35、Pausing at key moments.BThe size of company.CThe boss.DThe quality of the products.5、Which could be the best title for the text?AImprove quality? Serve better.BDeliver value? Plough ahead.CReduce time? Move faster.DNeed speed? Slow down.24（8分）We ate on the go more than ever before. Here are three he

44、e prepared to turn 28 years old was to be living at hone with her parents. All shes ever wanted to do is to become an elementary school teacher. And shes been working through her teaching certifications for four years after obtaining an education degree from Bowling Green State University in Ohio, U

45、S.Hipp has racked up $100,000 in student loan debt and isnt able to earn enough through working as a part-time skating instructor and restaurant server to live anywhere other than home.The Pew Research Center recently reported that 2014 was a milestone in the evolving living arrangements of young ad

46、ults in the US. For the first time since 1880, adults aged 18 to 34 became more likely to be living with a parent than to be living on their own. Before 2014, the most common living arrangement for young adults was to be living in their own property as part of a couple.UBS Financial Services, a Swis

47、s global financial services company, released a report that even suggests one reason for the growing number of young adults still living at home could be that their family doesnt want them to leave.The report shows that 74 percent of millennials(千禧一代)get some kind of financial support from their par

48、ents after college. It finds that millennials have redefined the ties that combine parents and children. “Millennials see their parents as peers, friends and guiders. Nearly three quarters talked with their parents more than once a week during college. In return, their parents happily provide financ

49、ial support well into adulthood, helping fund everything for them.”Stuart Hoffman, chief economist for the PNC Financial Group in the US, said although job growth for millennials since 2014 has improved, which doesnt necessarily mean that millennials are starting to fly the nest. He said, “Theres no

50、 doubt it has held back household formation and purchases on things people spend money on related to household formation and child-rearing,” Hoffman explained. “But they are probably traveling more and eating out more if they dont have a house expense or marriage. I dont know if it represents a chan

51、ge in moral values. But its much more common for adult children to live in their parents homes because its becoming part of the culture.”1、Why does Caitlin Hipp have to live at home with her parents?ABecause she cant afford to live on her ownBBecause she doesnt want to live anywhere other than homeC

52、Because she wants to obtain more degreesDBecause she wants to be an elementary school teacher2、What can we learn about young adults aged 18 to 34 before 2014?AThey didnt have the freedom to arrange their livingBThey would rather live with their parents than live by themselvesCThey started to fly the

53、 nest as more jobs were providedDThey preferred to live away from their parents3、What conclusion can we draw from the report released by the Swiss company?AChildren living with parents is becoming part of the cultureBThe majority of millennials refuse to get financial help from parentsCMost millenni
