Passage Two
Questions6to10are bad on the following passage.
This week,the governor of Connecticut propod a statewide tax on sugar-sweetened drinks. Several cities have already enacted such soda taxes to rai money and fight obesity（肥胖）.And there’s new evidence suggesting that the taxes do work—although sometimes not as well as hoped.
Kris Madn,an associate professor of public health at the University of California,Berkeley,is one of the rearchers who has been studying soda taxes,in part becau she’s convinced that sugary drinks are a threat to society,a direct cau of obesity.
“It’s a pretty high bar for public health to be able to say that something is causing a major epidemic,”she says.“We can do that for sugar-sweetened beverages（饮料）.”
Berkeley was the first U.S.city to tax tho drinks,making them more expensive,and Madn is leading a team of rearchers that’s trying to e how the tax is working.
“We’ve been going out to the same neighborhoods every year for the last five years,and
we’ve been asking people the same questions,”she says.Rearchers interview people on the street,primarily in low-income neighborhoods.
They started doing this before the soda tax went into effect four years ago,and they’ve continued every year since.
“We saw a52percent decline in consumption over the first three years”since the tax went into effect,she says,“this has a huge impact.”
Madn’s study was published online this week by The American Journal of Public Health.
Mexico,in fact,put in place a tax on sugar-sweetened beverages in2014.That tax is smaller than the soda taxes in the
U.S.,and its effect on consumption also has been smaller.According to one study,consumption of sugary drinks fell on average by about8percent as a result of the tax.

Passage Three
Questions11to15are bad on the following passage.
F ABIO SCHV ARTSMAN,a well-respected businessman,may now be the most detested man in Brazil.As chief executive of Vale,a giant miner and the world’s largest producer of iron ore,it was Mr Schvartsman who had to face the public after the collap of a company tailings dam in the town of Brumadinho on January25th.186people are now confirmed as
dead,with122still missing.
So it was not a shock when,on March2nd,Vale said that Mr Schvartsman would step down. Tailings dams contain tonnes of waste material from mining operations.The design ud at Brumadinho was known to be the least expensive and most risky.After a flood of waste burst from
the Brumadinbo dam,ripping through a perilously located staff canteen and submerging a valley in mud,the company tried to respond quickly.Its board suspended share buybacks,dividends and bonus for executives.It has made payments
of100,000reais($26,000)to266families.
Eduardo de Salles Bartolomeo,a Vale veteran,has been named interim chief executive.He faces mounting problems.A crucial question is if Mr Schvartsman or other executives knew about problems with the dam.The firm maintains that they didn’t.Procurator declare that Vale make a cret deal to hide that the dam is in danger.
Despite all the difficulties the firm may prove resilient.That is partly becau of Mr Schvartsman’s changes since he took over,in May2017.He reduced Vale’s debt and cut capital spending,notes Carlos De Alba of Morgan Stanley.With healthy free cashflow and low debt, Vale’s balance sheet can probably withstand even hefty government fines.The fundamentals in metals markets are also helping.In the2020s,demand is expected to ri for iron ore in emerging markets and for
nickel(another of Vale’s key commodities)in electric cars.That increas the odds of Vale surviving the disaster,even as victims remain missing,buried in mud.

Passage Four
Questions16to20are bad on the following passage:
pleasure是什么意思Most people don't think about backing up their computer until they experience the dread of a hard drive crash.It's only then that the sad reality of a life’s worth of photos,music,spreadsheets, contacts,and other files disappearing in an instant truly sinks in.
Denis Gorbachev of Cloudberry Lab recommends the“3-2-1backup strategy in which you keep three copies of each important file:two of them an different external hard drives,stored in different locations,and one in the cloud.”
Here'a real-life example of how often you need to back up your computer from Jimmy,a wedding photographer at Pixelicious.He us the3-2-1strategy to ensure his client’s special memories are bot
h in the cloud and on external hard drives so that they never get lost.“Before leaving a wedding reception,I immediately pull one of the two memory cards from my camera store it in my wallet.A backup of the images will[literally]follow me wherever I go!”says Jimmy.“Then,as soon as I get home,a copy of the files will be transferred to my desktop so that before the sun ris again,I already have thee copies of my client's images.”After editing,copies of the final images are immediately uploaded onto his cloud storage,while duplicate ts are transferred to external hard drives,one of which is stored in a bank’s safety deposit box.Having multiple backups provides peace of mind.
Your first computer back up may be a tedious（冗长乏味的）affair as all of your downloaded music,photos,and files get copied onto external hard drives and up to a cloud.But,that initial time and effort will save you from the dread of losing it all in a crash.From there,the ongoing back up process will become streamlined as additional files get copied to drives and backed up through automated methods.
