Excessive sugar has a strong mal-effect on the functioning of active【C1】o______such as the heart, kidneys and the brain. Shipwrecked sailors who ate and drank nothing but sugar for nine days surely went【C2】______some of this trauma. This incident occurred when a vessel carrying a【C3】ca______of sugar was shipwrecked in 1793. The five【C4】______(survive)sailors were finally rescued nine days after the accident. They were in a wasted condition due to starvation, having consumed nothing but【C5】______. French physiologist F. Magendie was inspired by that incident to【C6】co______a series of experiments with【C7】an______. In the experiments, he fed dogs a diet of sugar and water. All the dogs wasted and died. The shipwrecked sailors and the French physiologist's experimental dogs proved the same point. As a steady diet, sugar is worse than nothing. Plain water can keep you【C8】a______for quite some time. Sugar and water can kill you. Humans and animals are "unable to subsist【C9】______a diet of sugar". The dead dogs in Professor Magendie's【C10】la______alerted the sugar industry to the hazards of free scientific inquiry. From that day to this, the sugar industry has invested millions of dollars in behind-the-scenes, subsidized science. The best scientific names that money could buy have been hired, in the hope that they could one day come up with something at least pseudoscientific in the way of glad tidings about sugar.
紧跟着奴隶制度的结束又是一个世纪的殖民统治。
【T1】有些人争辩道,殖民统治还是给非洲带来了小小的发展,例如铁路、学校等。
(colonialism)这个体制最主要的是将非洲变成一个巨大的种植园和矿区,来满足入侵者的经济利益。
【T2】当然,一些非洲人在这段时间也赚了一笔,例如酋长们把敌人卖到欧洲去做奴隶。
(chiefs)沿岸居民在殖民贸易者路过他们的地盘时也会揩点“小油”。
【T3】但是整体而言,五百多年来普遍的规则便是有系统地剥削。
(general rule)毫无疑问,这肯定是非洲贫穷的根本原因。你也可以加上非洲的气候恶劣,热带的疾病猖獗,现今独立的非洲的统治者素质低下。这些都是事实。
【T4】但是这些近些年颇有影响力的因素,一旦同几百年的奴隶问题相比较,就显得太微不足道了。
(marginal)解决方案,或至少SOLD项目中的解决方案就是“援助”。紧急援助,发展援助,农业援助,经济咨询,价值几十亿美元。很明显,这个解决问题的方案在于它并没有起到作用。
【T5】援助的失败并不在王真正援助这一理念,而在于错误地使用了这一术语。
(misuse,term)很显然,正如那句有名的老话“授人予鱼,不如授人予渔”,这才是助人之道。
The English language contains a(n)______of words which are comparatively______used in ordinary conversation.

企业家们希望高科技共享自行车行业的繁荣会使他们致富,同时改变中国城市的交通拥堵。
(bike-sharing boom)但梦想有时也会破灭。【T2】
据报道,在中国南部城市深圳,有500多辆出租自行车被发现成堆丢弃在大街上。
(dump in huge piles)全国各地五颜六色的自行车呈爆发式增长,【T3】
用户使用智能手机应用程序即可租用这些自行车,也可停在任何想停的地方。
(Wherever)【T4】
中国的共享经济正在起飞,拼车和合租房也越来越普遍。
(take off)为了减少交通拥堵和空气污染,从上海到四川,许多地方都出了共享自行车计划,让这个曾经被誉为“自行车王国”的国家重回两轮时代。【T5】
为了争夺客户,自行车出租公司陷入了激烈的竞争。
(be locked in)但当客户丢弃自行车时问题就出现了。

If you could go on vacation as anyone you wanted, who would you choose? Joel Stain decided he'd make a great Ricky Martin. Welcome to Fantasy Island. It's an offer worthy of Mr. Roarke: Wyndham El San Juan Hotel & Casino, in Puerto Rico, has developed a three-night package in which you check in as a Celebrity. The hotel puts no constraints on which name you choose, though President Clinton, Dracula, and Boy George have all been rejected.(Two men were permitted to come as Rodgers and Hart, so I'm not sure what the problem with George was.)I almost picked someone I admired, until I realized that a weekend as Wallace Shawn might not be a Dionysian romp. Instead I chose Ricky Martin, because he's big in Puerto Rico, and my girlfriend chose Jennifer Lopez, because I told her to.(It seemed more legitimate than when I make her pretend to be Jennifer Lopez at home.)I didn't know much about Martin, so on the flight down I read ' Entertainment Weekly'. I wasn't happy about what I found out, and I don't mean the meditation stuff. Upon landing we were greeted by a hotel publicist and a driver, each holding a piece of paper that read Mr. Ricky Martin and Ms. Jennifer Lopez. The pomp was so unimpressive that no one at the Airport expected Ricky and J. Lo. The lack of a crowd was a lucky break, since the hotel had also sent a photographer who kept asking us to hold our placards and smile. Never have the words, ' Ricky Martin' and ' giant loser' seemed so interchangeable. On the five-minute drive to the hotel, the driver told us to sit back, relax, and reach into the white limo's fridge for a cold can of Medalla Light. Celebrities really do live better. At the hotel the publicist whisked us to the Texas-themed restaurant, the Ranch, built with real Connecticut barn wood. Nothing submerges you into the relaxing Caribbean lifestyle as much as Texan attitude and Northeastern barn wood. The manager gave us a complimentary platter of rattlesnake sausage and jalapeno poppers, which, I believe, are known as the food of celebrities. He blasted Martin's song ' She Bangs' and made five waiters run over and ask me to dance, an unpleasant thing to demand of a celebrity, much less of someone pretending to be one. Then they led me to the mechanical bull, which I rode until I fell off... Questions 66 to 70 Answer the following questions with the information given in the passage.
