1．Today，we are constantly bombarded with media reports about research on the right diet to follow to help us maintain a healthy lifestyle or lose weight—but it's hard to know which one to pick and，once chosen，it's harder still to stick to it.And now there's another choice to get our teeth into.
A flexitarian （彈性素食者） diet involves eating plant—based foods and only occasionally eating meat and fish.This eating style allows you to supplement some ingredients that you wouldn't get in a stricter vegan （素食主義者） diet—another trend growing in popularity.And like veganism，flexitarianism isn't about eating carefully to help you lose a few pounds—it's something people choose for ethical reasons，to help the planet.And a study into the global food system and how it affects the climate，has found that eating mainly plant-based foods is one of three key steps towards a sustainable future for all by 2050.
This research found that food waste will need to be halved and farming practices will also have to improve to achieve this.But without a single solution，a combined approach is needed.Dr Marco Springmann from the University of Oxford was one of the lead authors of the report.He told the BBC "We really found that a combination of measures would be needed to stay within environmental limits and those include changes towards healthier more plant-based diets."
But whereas vegans think it's wrong for animals to be killed for food，flexitarians believe eating meat once in a while is acceptable.And Dr Springmann agrees-as long as we "treat it as a luxury，it's probably OK but you shouldn't have more than one serving of red meat，which includes beef and pork，per week." And here's another fact to digest：If we moved to this type of diet，the study found that greenhouse gas emissions from agriculture would be cut by more than half.

2．Grown-ups are often surprised by how well they remember something they learned as children but have never practiced ever since.A man who has not had a chance to go swimming for years can still swim as well as ever when he gets back in the water.He can get on a bicycle after many years and still ride away.He can play catch and hit a ball as well as his son.A mother who has not thought about the words for years can teach her daughter the poem that begins "Twinkle，twinkle，little star" or remember the story of Cinderella or Goldilocks and the Three Bears.
One explanation is the law of overlearning，which can be stated as follows：Once we have learned something，additional（額外的） learning trials（嘗試）increase the length（長度） of time we will remember it.
In childhood we usually continue to practice such skills as swimming，bicycle riding，and playing baseball long after we have learned them.We continue to listen to and remind ourselves of words such as "Twinkle，twinkle，little star" and childhood tales such as Cinderella and Goldilocks.We not only learn but overlearn.
The multiplication tables （乘法口訣表） are an exception （例外） to the general rule that we forget rather quickly the things that we learn in school，because they are another of the things we overlearn in childhood.
The law of overlearning explains why cramming （突擊學習） for an examination，though it may result in a passing grade，is not a satisfactory way to learn a college course.By cramming，a student may learn the subject well enough to get by on the examination，but he is likely soon to forget almost everything he learned.A little overlearning，on the other hand，is really necessary for one's future development.
（1）What is the main idea of paragraph I？
A．People remember well what they learned in childhood.
B．Children have a better memory than grown-ups.
C．Poem reading is a good way to learn words.
D．Stories for children arc easy to remember.
（2）The author explains the law of overlearning by.
A．presenting research findings
B．setting down general rules
C．making a comparison
D．using examples
（3）According to the author，being able to use multiplication tables is.
A．a(chǎn) result of overlearning
B．a(chǎn) special case of cramming
C．a(chǎn) skill to deal with math problems
D．a(chǎn) basic step towards advanced studies
（4）What does the word "they" in Paragraph 4 refer to？
A．Commonly accepted rules.
B．The multiplication tables.
C．Things easily forgotten.
D．School subjects.組卷：0引用：1難度：0.5 -
3．MOOC，a massive（大規(guī)模的） open online course，aims at providing interactive discussion and open access via the web.In addition to traditional course materials such as videos，readings，and problem sets，MOOCs provide interactive user forums （論壇） that help build a community for the students，professors，and teaching assistants.
MOOCs first made waves in the fall of 2011，when Professor Sebastian Thrun from Stanford University opened his graduate-level artificial intelligence course up to any student anywhere，and 160，000 students in more than 190 countries signed up.This new kind of online classes is shaking up the higher education world in many ways.Since the courses can be taken by hundreds of thousands of students at the same time，the number of universities might decrease greatly.Professor Thrun has even imagined a future in which there will only need to be 10 universities in the world.Perhaps the most impressive thing about MOOCs，many of which are being taught by professors at prestigious （聲譽高的） universities，is that they're free.This is certainly good news for cash-strapped students.
There is a lot of excitement and fear about MOOCs.While some say free online courses are a great way to increase the enrollment （注冊） of students who are lack of resources，some critics （批評者） have said that MOOCs encourage an unrealistic one-size-fits-all model of higher education and that there is no replacement for true dialogues between professors and their students.After all，a brain is not a computer.We are not blank hard drives waiting to be filled with data.People learn from people they love and remember the things that arouse emotion.Some critics worry that online students will miss out on the social aspects of college.
（1）What can we learn about MOOCs？
A．It is cheap to take the courses.
B．Most courses are about artificial intelligence.
C．They have decreased the number of universities.
D．Many courses are offered by professors from famous universities.
（2）The "cash-strapped students" in the second paragraph refers to students who are.
A．fond of money
B．short of money
C．careful with money
D．familiar with money
（3）What might be one of the disadvantages of MOOCs？
A．The limited courses offered around the world.
B．The disappearance of traditional course materials.
C．The overreliance on professors from good universities.
D．The lack of social interaction among students and professors.
（4）What is the purpose of the text？
A．To give an introduction of MOOCs.
B．To put an advertisement for MOOCs.
C．To describe the influence of artificial intelligence.
D．To express a critical attitude towards artificial intelligence.組卷：0引用：1難度：0.6
