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？
B
B

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

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

C．who is to blame for the world hunger
D．what to do to help the hungry people

1．Suppose you are out shopping and come across an old friend who starts telling you a story that seems to be dragging on and on.You want to seem interested，so you offer the occasional "Oh" or "I see".To your surprise，though，this person angrily stops and says， "Sorry if I'm boring you!"
   Where did this come from？Clearly，your body language must have let out your inner feelings.The idea that verbal （口頭的） and nonverbal messages can conflict was the inspiration for a recently published study from Yale University's Lueylle Armentano.
   To test the role of verbal-nonverbal mismatch on emotional communication，Armentano and her partner created experimental conditions to see what happens when someone asks for help from strangers.The research team created videotapes of a fellow Yale student expressing nervousness in his words，bodily gestures，or both.The bodily gestures included running his hands through his hair，grabbing his arm，and facially expressing uneasiness.The key question was whether the other participants，another 82 Yale students，would believe the student and provide the help he was requesting.They needed to give their responses.
   Turning to the findings，those nonverbal cues （提示） of nervousness had a greater impact on helping behavior than the verbal cues.Surprisingly，helping behavior was the highest when verbal expressions of nervousness were low but nonverbal cues were high.
   Recognizing that your body language can outweigh your words means that you need to be mindful of what your body is doing when you're interacting with others.Generally，when someone is speaking to you，you want to look like you're interested.Not only should you maintain eye contact，but you should keep your body still and face toward the other person.

（1）What is the main idea of paragraph 1？

A．The obvious advantages of body language.
B．The proper way to interact with old friends.
C．A situation where body language is necessary.
D．An example of the conflict of verbal and nonverbal messages.
（2）What was the task of the 82 Yale students ？

A．Try to win the nervous student's trust.
B．Respond to the nervous student's request.
C．Identify the types of body language.
D．Express nervousness in their words.
（3）What would probably win kindness from strangers？

A．Nonverbal cues of nervousness
B．Good manners in front of others.
C．Sincere verbal expressions.
D．Positive attitude to nervousness.
（4）What is the purpose of the writer in the last paragraph？

A．Give some warnings.
B．Present some facts.
C．Offer suggestions.
D．Make a prediction

2．Animals are natural resources that people have wasted all through our history.
   Animals have been killed for their fur and feathers，for food，for sport，and simply because they were in the way.Thousands of kinds of animals have disappeared from the earth forever.Hundreds more are on the danger list today.About 170 kinds in the United States alone are considered in danger.
   Why should people care？Because we need animals.And because once they are gone，there will never be any more.
   Animals are more than beautiful or interesting or a source of food.Every animal has its place in the balance of nature.Destroying one kind of animal can create many problems.
   For example，when farmers killed large numbers of hawks（鷹），the farmers' stores of corn and grain were destroyed by mice.Why？Because hawks eat mice．With no hawks to keep down their numbers，the mice multiplied quickly.
   Luckily，some people are working to help save the animals.Some groups raise money to let people know about the problem.And they try to get the governments to pass laws protecting animals in danger.
   Quite a few countries have passed laws.These laws forbid the killing of any animal or plant on the danger list.Slowly，the number of some animals in danger is growing.

A．Became more.
B．Became less.
C．Turned black.
D．Ate food.

A．people have known the importance of animal protection since a long time ago
B．a(chǎn)nimals play an important role in people's life
C．the number of hawks is on the decrease
D．many countries passed laws forbidding the killing of any animal
