【題目】閱讀理解
Diet Coke, diet Pepsi, diet pills, no-fat diet, vegetable diet… We are surrounded by the word “diet” everywhere we look and listen. We have so easily been attracted by the promise and potential of diet products that we have stopped thinking about what diet products are doing to us. We are paying for products that harm us psychologically (心理) and physically.
Diet products greatly weaken us psychologically. On one level, we are not allowing our brain to admit that our weight problems lie not in actually losing the weight, but in controlling the amount of fatty, high-calorie, unhealthy foods. Diet products allow us to jump over the thinking stage and go straight for the scale(秤) instead. All we have to do is to recognize the word “diet” in food labels.
On another level, diet products have greater psychological effects. Every time we have a zero-calorie drink, we are telling ourselves without our awareness that we don't have to work to get results. Diet products make people believe that gain comes without pain, and that life can be without struggle.
The danger of diet products lies not only in the psychological effects they have on us, but also in the physical harm that they cause. Diet foods can indirectly harm our bodies because eating them instead of healthy foods means we are preventing our bodies from having basic nutrients. Diet foods and diet pills contain zero calorie only because the diet industry has created chemicals to produce these wonder products. Diet products may not be nutritional, and the chemicals that go into diet products are possibly dangerous in the future.
Now that we are aware of the effects that diet products have on us, it is time to seriously think about buying them. Losing weight lies in the power of minds, not in the power of chemicals. Once we realize this, we will be much better able to resist diet products, and therefore prevent the psychological harm that comes from using them.
(1)From Paragraph 1, we learn that __________.
A.diet products fail to bring out people's potential
B.people have difficulty in choosing diet products
C.diet products are misleading people
D.people are tired of diet products
(2)One psychological effect of diet products is that people tend to _________.
A.try out a variety of diet foods
B.think twice before they enjoy diet foods
C.pay attention to their own eating habits
D.watch their weight rather than their diet
(3)Diet products indirectly harm people physically because such products ______.
A.are over-taken
B.are short of basic nutrients
C.have no chemicals
D.provide too much energy
(4)Which of the following shows the structure of the passage?
CP: Central Point P: Point Sp: Sub-point (次要點) C: Conclusion(結(jié)論)
A.
B.
C.
D.

【答案】
(1)C
(2)D
(3)B
(4)B
【解析】本文是一篇說明文,講述的是我們的生活中充斥著各種各樣的減肥產(chǎn)品。這些產(chǎn)品真能幫助我們減肥嗎?事實上,減肥產(chǎn)品不僅在身體上而且在心理上都給人們帶來了危害。減肥需要堅強的決心和實際的努力鍛煉,而減肥產(chǎn)品基本沒有營養(yǎng)還會讓人覺得減肥很簡單:吃兩片藥片就可以。這些都告訴我們應(yīng)該向減肥產(chǎn)品說不。
(1)考查細(xì)節(jié)理解。根據(jù)第一段中的“We have so easily been attracted by the promise and potential of diet products that we have stopped thinking about what diet products are doing to us.”以及“for products that harm us”可知,故選C。
(2)考查細(xì)節(jié)理解。根據(jù)第二段中的“On one level, we are not allowing our brain to admit that our weight problems lie not in actually losing the weight, but in controlling the amount of fatty, high-calorie, unhealthy foods.”可知,減肥產(chǎn)品在心理上削弱了我們。我們的體重有問題不在于在實際上失去了重量,而在于控制消耗脂肪,高熱量,不健康的食品。故選 D“注意體重而不是飲食”。
(3)考查細(xì)節(jié)理解。第四段中的”Diet foods can indirectly harm our bodies because eating them instead of healthy foods means we are preventing our bodies from having basic nutrients. “可知服用減肥產(chǎn)品會導(dǎo)致人們基本營養(yǎng)成分的缺失,說明這些減肥產(chǎn)品缺少營養(yǎng)成分。故選B。(4)考查文章結(jié)構(gòu)。分析各段的主題大意可知,第一段是我們在關(guān)注對我們身心有害的產(chǎn)品;第二段介紹在心理上削弱注意力;同時說了一方面;第三段有接著提到另一方面;第四段介紹減肥產(chǎn)品對人的身體的危害;第五段得出結(jié)論:減肥產(chǎn)品有害,不應(yīng)該購買。所以選B。

Book Description

A profound, startling, and beautifully crafted debut novel, The Sympathizer is the story of a man of two minds, someone whose political beliefs clash with his individual loyalties.

It is April 1975, and Saigon is in chaos. At his villa, a general of the South Vietnamese army is drinking whiskey and, with the help of his trusted captain, drawing up a list of those who will be given passage aboard the last flights out of the country. The general and his compatriots start a new life in Los Angeles, unaware that one among their number, the captain, is secretly observing and reporting on the group to a higher-up in the Viet Cong. The Sympathizer is the story of this captain: a man brought up by an absent French father and a poor Vietnamese mother, a man who went to university in America, but returned to Vietnam to fight for the Communist cause. A gripping(扣人心弦的) spy novel, an astute exploration of extreme politics, and a moving love story, The Sympathizer explores a life between two worlds and examines the legacy of the Vietnam War in literature, film, and the wars we fight today.

【題目】Chinese parents are very generous when it comes to educating their children.Not caring about the money, parents often send their children to the best schools or even abroad to England, the US or AustraliaThey also want their children to take extra course activities where they will either learn a musical instrument or ballet, or other classes that will give them a head start in life.The Chinese believe that the more expensive an education is, the better it is.So parents will spend unreasonable amount of money on education.Even poor couples will buy computers for their sons or daughters.

However, what most parents fail to see is that the best education they can give to their children is usually very cheap.

Parents can see that their children’s skills vary, skilled in some areas while poor in others.What most parents fail to realize though, is that today’s children lack self respect and self confidence.

The reasons are that parents are only educating their children on how to take multiple choice tests and how to study well, but parents are not teaching them the most important skills: they need to be confident, happy and clever.

Parents can achieve this by teaching practical skills like cooking, sewing and doing other housework.

Teaching a child to cook will improve many of the skills that he will need later in life.Cooking demands patience and time.It is an enjoyable but difficult experience.A good cook always tries to improve his cooking, so he will learn to work hard and gradually inish his job successfully.His result, a well cooked dinner, will give him much satisfaction and a lot of confidence.These activities are not only teaching a child to work, but rather to think, and to use his mindAnd that is more important.

【題目】根據(jù)短文理解,選擇正確答案。
How Room Designs Affect Our Work and Feelings
Architects have long had the feeling that the places we live in can affect our thoughts, feelings and behaviors. But now scientists are giving this feeling an empirical(經(jīng)驗的,實證的) basis. They are discovering how to design spaces that promote creativity, keep people focused and lead to relaxation.
Researches show that aspects of the physical environment can influence creativity. In 2007, Joan Meyers-Levy at the University of Minnesota, reported that the height of a room's ceiling affects how people think. Her research indicates that higher ceilings encourage people to think more freely, which may lead them to make more abstract connections. Low ceilings, on the other hand, may inspire a more detailed outlook.
In additions to ceiling height, the view afforded by a building may influence an occupant's ability to concentrate. Nancy Wells and her colleagues at Cornell University found in their study that kids who experienced the greatest increase in greenness as a result of a family move made the most gains on a standard test of attention.
Using nature to improve focus of attention ought to pay off academically, and it seems to, according to a study led by C. Kenneth Tanner, head of the School Design & Planning Laboratory at the University of Georgia. Tanner and his team found that students in classrooms with unblocked views of at least 50 feet outside the window had higher scores on tests of vocabulary, language arts and maths than did students whose classrooms primarily overlooked roads and parking lots.
Recent study on room lighting design suggests than dim(暗淡的) light helps people to loosen up. If that is true generally, keeping the light low during dinner or at parties could increase relaxation. Researchers of Harvard Medical School also discovered that furniture with rounded edges could help visitors relax.
So far scientists have focused mainly on public buildings. "We have a very limited number of studies, so we're almost looking at the problem through a straw(吸管)," architect David Allison says. "How do you take answers to very specific questions and make broad, generalized use of them? That's what we're all struggling with."
(1)What does Joan Meyers-Levy focus on in her research?
A.Light.
B.Ceilings.
C.Windows.
D.Furniture.
(2)The passage tells us that ______.
A.the shape of furniture may affect people's feelings
B.lower ceilings may help improve students' creativity
C.children in a dim classroom may improve their grades
D.students in rooms with unblocked views may feel relaxed
(3)The underlined sentence in the last paragraph probably means that ______.
A.the problem is not approached step by step
B.the researches so far have faults in themselves
C.the problem is too difficult for researchers to detect
D.research in this area is not enough to make generalized patterns
(4)Which of the following shows the organization of the passage?
CP: Central Point P: Point SP: Sub-point C: Conclusion
A.
B.
C.
D.

【題目】根據(jù)短文理解,選擇正確答案。

One night in March 1999, a man was driving from California to Oregon, US, to visit some friends. He had stopped his car to have some food when he started to hear strange noises. Turning on the headlights, he saw an 8-foot-tall creature covered in thick, dark hair. The creature stared at him for a minute, turned in the road and walked off slowly into the woods.
In the past 50 years alone, there have been thousands of reported sightings of similar creatures in the US, Canada, the Himalayas(喜馬拉雅山地區(qū))and even Hubei Province in China. The creature is known as bigfoot.
Bigfoot is said to be a very tall(between 2 and 4. 5 metres), ape-like(類人猿似的)creature that is covered in hair and walks upright on two legs. It is very wary(警惕的)of human beings.
Believers think bigfoot is a direct descendent(后代)of ancient gigantopithecus(巨猿). But it remains one of the planet's undiscovered secrets. There is a little evidence(證據(jù))to support the believers' theory: traces of hair, footprints and body prints as well as the reported sightings. Some people have even showed what they say with photos or films of bigfoot.
But so far, no one has found bones or any other definite proof that the giant creature exists.
As a result many people believe the evidence is just part of a big trick.
The footprints are easy to make and they say: all you need to do is to make two large feet out of plaster(石膏), attach them to the bottom of your shoes and walk with big steps. As for the photos and films, they are just people dressed in ape suits.
They also say the sightings are not real, just people making mistakes. For example, bigfoot could be a bear living in the wild that sometimes stands up on its back legs.
(1)So far what we can be sure about is that_______.
A.there exist savages(野人)in several places in the world
B.there are some traces of hair, footprints and body prints of the “bigfoot”
C.bigfoot is a direct descendent of ancient gigantopithecus
D.all the big foot discovered have the same look
(2)It was in______ that man first found the ape-like creature.
A.1999
B.the 1960's
C.the 1950's
D.the 1940's
(3)We can infer from the article that some people _______bigfoot's existence.
A.may fool the world into believing
B.have definite evidences to prove
C.refuse to believe
D.will soon offer proofs of
(4)If bigfoot is just a misunderstanding, what they saw might NOT be________.
A.apes
B.bears
C.gigantopithecus
D.people dressed in animal skins
