【題目】 Internet firms should help deal with the threat of terrorism or face terror tax , the security minister has said. Ben Wallace said such profiteers as Facebook and Google were failing to play their part, forcing the government to spend hundreds of millions to police internet extremism. The minister added, “If they continue to be less than co-operative, we should look at things like tax as a way compensating for their inaction. Because content is not taken down as quickly as they could do, we have to spend millions. WhatsApp, owned by Facebook, was turning the internet into a violent space.”

Mr Wallace did not give more details about a possible terror tax, but it would probably take the form of a windfall tax. The minister also accused internet companies of putting profit before public safety.

Simon Milner, Facebook’s UK policy director, said: “Mr Wallace is wrong to say that we put profit before safety, especially in the fight against terrorism. We’ve invested millions of pounds in people and technology to identify and remove terrorist content.” YouTube, which is owned by Alphabet, Google’s parent company, said: “Violent extremism is a complex problem and addressing it is a critical challenge for us all. We are committed to being part of the solution and we are doing more every day to deal with these issues. “Over the course of 2017 we have made significant progress through investing in machine learning technology, recruiting more reviewers, building partnerships with experts and collaboration with other companies”.

Anthony Glees, an intelligence expert at Buckingham University, told The Times: “What the government is proposing makes excellent theoretical sense when it comes to making us more secure from the appalling things that are broadcast by the service providers.” He added: “But in practice it may not be enough, because we are dealing with Goliaths here and the United Kingdom is increasingly becoming a lone David.”

【1】What do we know from Ben Wallace’s words?

A.The internet firms have been put on a terror tax.

B.The internet companies only concentrate on profit.

C.The profit of the Internet firms should be cut down.

D.The internet companies are not cooperative enough.

【2】What did “they” in the first paragraph refer to?

A.internet firmsB.internet extremism

C.violent spacesD.terror taxes

【3】Anthony Glees thought the government’s behavior was ______.

A.unpracticalB.positive

C.unexpectedD.disapproving

【4】What’s the best title of the passage?

A.Profit or Safety?

B.Policing Internet Extremism.

C.Internet Giants Threatened with Tax.

D.Demonstrating the Government’ Determination.

【題目】 Teenagers are often a difficult group.With all those hormones(荷爾蒙)flooding in their bodies，they can be moody，unpredictable，and tend to make uncertain choices.But however confusing their teenage years are，kids can still be generally happy，depending on their lifestyle choices.According to a new research by British scientists，teens who don't smoke，drink only moderately(適度地） or not at all，and who don't eat much junk food are likely to be happier than other teens.

The study looked at 40,000 British families and came up with some interesting findings.For example，kids who never drank alcohol were up to six times more likely to report higher levels of happiness than kids who drank.And teens who smoked were five times less likely to rate high on happiness charts compared to kids who didn't smoke.The same goes for diet and physical activities.The more fruits and vegetables kids eat，and the more hours they spend playing sports，the happier they are.

Now，of course this doesn't mean that not smoking or drinking，and playing sports can guarantee happiness.It could be that kids who have happy character tend to be more active and less addicted to drinking or smoking.And it could equally be the case that kids who are unhappy are more related to drinking，smoking and eating junk food.

Other studies have shown that exercise is a proven way to treat anxiety and depression. Future studies may support the idea that other healthy behaviors，including refraining(克制)from smoking，drinking，and eating too much junk food，can avoid sadness and increase happiness，too.

【1】The author develops the second paragraph mainly by________.

A.making comparisonsB.providing statistics

C.offering examplesD.analyzing causes

【2】What can we learn from the text？

A.Not smoking or drinking guarantees happiness.

B.Teens with flooding hormones cannot be happy.

C.Playing sports can decrease teens' unhappiness.

D.Unhappiness can certainly lead to smoking and drinking.

【3】Which can be the best title for the text？

A.Ways to treat anxiety and depression

C.Teenagers shouldn't drink or smoke

D.Teenagers' lifestyle and their happiness

【題目】 There have been thousands of marine species that have become extinct. Currently there are thousands of fish that are endangered and in great need of protection. The following are some.

The Arcadian Redfish are found in warm waters, such as the Atlantic and Indian Ocean. These fish mature at a late age (5 to 6 years) and have low reproductive rates. However, they can live to be 50 years old, which is relatively remarkable. Young redfish are marked with patches of black and green color. They don’t develop their red color until after they move to the ocean bottom. Now the Arcadian Redfish is endangered due to overfishing. These fish started to decrease in population in the early 1900s because of their increased popularity in the food industry.

The Bluefin tuna is one animal that is high on the endangered species list. This fish has been named one of the wonders of the ocean, because they can grow to be 12 feet long and weigh over 1, 500 pounds! Why are these fish disappearing at alarming rates? Because they are being captured for food, with over 75% consumed in Japanese restaurants often by making a popular sushi.

The European Eel is found in the Baltic and the Mediterranean Sea. They have a unique metamorphosis process and they change their forms over a longtime period. According to IUCNRedList.org, the European Eel is one of the threatened species that are not only endangered, but critically endangered.

The whale shark is one of many endangered sharks out there. According to one source, sharks are revered as our last “l(fā)iving” dinosaurs. They are known as the largest fish with the potential to grow over 60 feet long and weigh over 70,000 pounds. The whale shark also has the potential to live to be over 100 years old.
