Eat more, Play more—Weight Less
In the United States, 20 to 40 percent of the adult population have a “weight problem”. To many people, the cause seems obvious: we eat too much. But scientific evidence does little to support this idea.
Several modern studies have shown that fatter people do not eat more on average than thinner people and that slim people are more active than fat people.
I believe that this shows overweight people can become relatively slim gradually via a progressive program of regular exercise. The key is regular, enjoyable activity.
Use of energy(calories) by the body falls into two categories. The first is energy used for essential bodily functions—digestion, heart beat, breathing—and BMR(新陳代謝). In an average-sized adult, BMR requires about 1400 calories per day.
The second category is energy used for physical activity—standing, walking and all other movements. Together with the BMR, it makes up total calorie use, which should be balanced by food intake for weight to remain stable.
For years now, we have known that dieting—especially severe dieting(400 calories per day, for instance)—decreases BMR. This is the body's defense system to keep energy when food supply is reduced. Unfortunately, it tends to weaken the diet's effects by enabling the body to “get by” on fewer calories. For this reason, I believe that severe dieting is not a good way to lose weight, and all dieting should be seen as a temporary measure.
In addition to helping weight loss and continued weight control, regular exercise has many other features to recommend it. While weight loss by dieting alone results in some loss of muscle as well as fat, weight loss by exercise and moderate dieting leads to an increased proportion(均衡)of muscle mass. The regular exerciser has good heart function too.
Regular exercise helps to raise blood levels of high-density lipoprotein(HDL) and increased exercise leads to increased food intake and thus to increased intake of critical nutrients (營養(yǎng)).
The benefits of eating more because of an increase in physical activity are not widely appreciated. Many people in this country, by actual measurement, have remarkably low calorie intake. Often the amount is so low (1 200 to 1 800 calories a day) that nutritionists worry about the adequacy(足夠的)of their vitamin and mineral intake. And too little food, with inadequate fiber content, leads in the old population to chronic constipation(長期便秘).
To sum up, most Americans still get too little regular exercise, and it is within this group that almost all obesity is found. Severe dieting should not be used as it is unpleasant and tends to be self-defeating. Moderate dieting combined with regular exercise is much more effective and enjoyable. The choice is yours: life on the sofa, nibbling celery or the active, healthy-eating, healthful way.

解析試題分析:本文敘述了美國人越來越多的人有肥胖病,有很少的證據(jù)表明因為他們是吃的太多,文中給出了引起肥胖的原因,吃得足夠多的好處以及一些減肥的方法,最后文章給出結(jié)論:沒有進行適當?shù)腻憻捠菍?dǎo)致肥胖的原因,建議不要再使用節(jié)食的方法來減肥。
【小題1】根據(jù)we eat too much. 因為dueto+doing,故用eating.
【小題2】根據(jù)But scientific evidence does little to support this idea.因為evidence是不可數(shù)名詞,所以謂語動詞用單數(shù),故用supports.
【小題3】根據(jù)Several modern studies have shown that fatter people do not eat more on average than thinner people and that slim people are more active than fat people.這里應(yīng)該活動的少,故用less.
【小題4】根據(jù)The benefits of eating more because of an increase in physical activity are not widely appreciated.可知這段主要談?wù)摰氖且嫣,故用benefits/advantages.
【小題5】根據(jù)The second category is energy used for physical activity—standing, walking and all other movements. Together with the BMR, it makes up total calorie use, which should be balanced by food intake for weight to remain stable.身體的活動,故用physical.
【小題6】根據(jù)Often the amount is so low (1 200 to 1 800 calories a day) that nutritionists worry about the adequacy(足夠的)of their vitamin and mineral intake.And too little food, with inadequate fiber content, leads in the old population to chronic constipation(長期便秘).吃足夠的食物能夠攝入足夠的維生素和礦物質(zhì)以防得便秘。故用adequate/enough.
【小題7】根據(jù)While weight loss by dieting alone results in some loss of muscle as well as fat, 因為這一部分都是用動詞的ing形式來表達,故用resulting.
【小題8】根據(jù)The regular exerciser has good heart function too.因為這里修飾動詞故用副詞regularly.
【小題9】根據(jù)內(nèi)容可知是對于上文的總結(jié),故用summaries/conclusions.
【小題10】根據(jù)Severe dieting should not be used as it is unpleasant and tends to be self-defeating.故用avoided/stopped.
考點:任務(wù)型閱讀。
點評:閱讀表達題型的測試目的是從多方位多角度考查考生通過閱讀獲取信息、處理信息并進行書面表達的能力。比傳統(tǒng)的閱讀理解題更具有綜合性和主觀性,更能體現(xiàn)對考生的綜合語言運用能力的考查。開放性問題是閱讀表達中主觀性最強的試題,要求考生結(jié)合文章的大意、個人的觀點經(jīng)驗來回答相關(guān)問題。

Directions: Read the following passage. Fill in the numbered blanks by using the information from the passage.
Write NO MORE THAN THREE WORDS for each answer.
An apprenticeship is a form of on-the-job training that combines workplace experience and classroom learning. It can last anywhere from one to six years, but four years is typical for most. An apprentice spends the majority of the time in a workplace environment learning the practical skills of a career from a journeyman--someone who has done the job for many years. The rest of the apprentice's time is spent in a classroom environment learning the theoretical skills the career requires. Being an apprentice is a full-time undertaking.
One of the advantages of apprenticeship is that it does not cost apprentices anything. The companies that hire them pay for school. What's more, it offers apprentices an "earn while you learn" opportunity. They usually start out at half the pay of a journeyman, and the pay increases gradually as they move further along in the job and studies. Near the end of the apprenticeship, their wages are usually 90 percent of what a journeyman would receive. Apprenticeship also pays off for employers. It can offer employers a pool of well-trained workers to draw from.
Despite the advantages, apprentices are usually required to work during the day and attend classes at night, which leaves little time for anything else. Sometimes, they might be laid off(下崗) if business for the employers is slow.
Once they have completed the apprenticeship and become journeymen, they receive a nationally recognized and portable certification and their pay also increases again. Some journeymen continue employment with the companies they apprenticed with; others go onto different companies or become self-employed contractors.

What do you usually use your cellphone for? Calling friends or sending them text messages?
As technology develops,nowadays cellphones can do much more than that.They have become all-in-one cell-phones.
A typical example is Apple’s phone.The touch-screen cellphone plays music,connects to the Web,sends emails and takes photos. More than 1 million Apple’s phones have been sold since it was sold in June.
“Today’s young people enjoy using all kinds of digital functions,such as those of a music player,a camera and even a computer. An all-in-one cellphone is easy to carry. That is the goal of developing a technology to make our lives more convenient,simple and relaxed,said Professor Ding Shouqian at Nankai University.
However, the all-in-one cellphones come with some problems. Users have complained that they are too complicated to use them, and that their battery life is too short. Cellphone producers say that they are working hard to make their phones even better.
It is very convenient to use it. “We are trying to make the cellphones in a way that people can quickly move from phoning to taking pictures to listening to music, said Alastair Curtis, Nokia’s chief designer.“If you look at the Nokia 3250 model, it has a twisting(轉(zhuǎn)動) bottom. So you twist it half a turn,and it’s in camera mode. You twist it another 90 degrees, and it’s in music player mode.”Japanese companies such as Toshiba and Fujitsu are also working to develop a new kind of battery for cellphones.
If all the problems are solved in the future, all-in-one phones will change our lives for the better.

Directions: Read the following passage. Answer the questions according to the
information given in the passage.
Kids and Ponds
Years ago there was a group of kids who would hang around at some local ponds in the woods near their houses in Warwick, Rhode Island. In summer they caught frogs and fish. When winter arrived they couldn’t wait to go skating. Time passed, and the ponds became the only open space for the kids to enjoy themselves in that neighborhood.
One day. a thirteen-year-old boy from this group of kids read in the local newspaper that a developer wanted to fill in the ponds and build over a hundred small houses called condominiums. So the boy went door to door and gathered more than two hundred signatures (簽名)to stop the development A group of citizens met and decided to support him.
At the meeting of the town planning board (委員會),the boy was quite nervous at first and spoke very softly. But when he saw the faces of his friends and neighbors in the crowd and thought about what was happening to their favorite ponds,his voice grew louder. He told the town officials that they should speak for the citizens. He also insisted that they should leave enough space for children. A few days later,the developer stopped his plan.
Nine years later, when that teen was a senior in college, he was informed that the developer was back with his proposal to build condominiums. Now twenty-two years old, he was studying wetlands ecology. He again appeared before the town planning board. This time as an expert witness, he used environmental protection laws to explain restrictions on development in and around wetlands and the knowledge of wetlands ecology to help improve the development. Finally some condominiums were built, but less than half the number the developer wanted. The ponds where those kids used to hang around were protected by a strip of natural land,and are still there today.
【小題1】What did the kids like to do at the local ponds in winter?
(No more than 6 words)                                               (2 marks)
