【題目】Calorie(卡路里)counts are everywhere. They appear on restaurant menus, milk boxes and bags of baby carrots. Grocery stores display lots of foods packaged with bright and colorful “l(fā)ow-calorie” claims.

A calorie is the measure of stored energy in something---energy that can be released as heat when burned. The term calorie on food labels is short for kilocalorie. A kilocalorie is the amount of energy it takes to raise the temperature of one kilogram of water by 1 degree Celsius. But what does boiling water have to do with your body’s release of energy from food? After all, your body doesn’t start boiling after eating. It does, however, chemically break down food into sugars. The body then releases the energy to fuel processes and activities throughout each hour of the day.

Food contains three main types of nutrients that deliver energy: fats, proteins and carbs(碳水化合物). A process called metabolism(新陳代謝) first cuts these into small pieces; Proteins break down into amino acids(氨基酸), fats into fatty acids and carbs into simple sugars. Then, the body uses oxygen to break down these materials to release heat.

Most of this energy goes toward powering the heart, lungs, brain and other vital processes. Exercise and other activities also use energy. If energy-rich nutrients aren’t used right away, your body will hoard them---first in the liver(肝臟), and then later as body fat.

In general, someone should eat the same amount of energy each day as his or her body will use. If the balance is off, they will win lose or gain weight. It’s very easy to eat more calories than the body needs. Having two 200-calorie donuts in addition to regular meals could easily put teens over their daily needs. At the same time, it’s nearly impossible to balance overeating with extra exercise. Running a mile burns just 100 calories. Knowing how many calories are in the food we eat can help keep the energy in and out balanced.

1How much energy does it need to lift the temperature of 5 kilograms of water by 10 degree Celsius?

A. One kilocalorie.

B. Five kilocalories.

C. Ten kilocalories.

D. Fifty kilocalories.

2What is Paragraph 3 mainly about?

A. How the nutrients are classified.

B. How oxygen works in human body.

C. How the food types affect metabolism.

D. How the body gets heat from nutrients.

3What does the underlined word “hoard” in Paragraph 4 mean?

A. Store.

B. Remove.

C. Replace.

D. Burn.

4What can we learn from the last paragraph?

A. It is good for our health to do exercises.

B. It’s really difficult to control our weight.

C. It is important to control the calories we take.

D. It is good for our body to eat the same type of nutrients.

【答案】

3A

4C

【解析】本文是一篇說(shuō)明文。涉及熱量的卡路里到處都是,它們出現(xiàn)在餐館的菜單、牛奶盒和小胡蘿卜袋里。雜貨店里陳列著許多包裝著明亮多彩的低熱量食品的食品。文章告訴我們:控制我們攝入的卡路里是很重要的。

1計(jì)算題。根據(jù)第二段中A kilocalorie is the amount of energy it takes to raise the temperature of one kilogram of water by 1 degree Celsius.由此計(jì)算得知需要50千卡的能量才能將5公斤水的溫度提高10攝氏度。故D項(xiàng)正確。

2段落大意題。根據(jù)第三段Food contains three main types of nutrients that deliver energy: fats, proteins and carbs(碳水化合物). A process called metabolism(新陳代謝) first cuts these into small pieces; Proteins break down into amino acids(氨基酸), fats into fatty acids and carbs into simple sugars. Then, the body uses oxygen to break down these materials to release heat.第三段主要敘述的是身體如何從營(yíng)養(yǎng)中獲取熱量。故D項(xiàng)正確。

3詞義猜測(cè)題。根據(jù)倒數(shù)第二段中If energy-rich nutrients aren’t used right away, your body will hoard them---first in the liver(肝臟), and then later as body fat. 如果能量豐富的營(yíng)養(yǎng)素沒(méi)有馬上被使用,你的身體會(huì)把它們儲(chǔ)藏起來(lái)----首先是肝臟,然后是身體脂肪。根據(jù)常識(shí),營(yíng)養(yǎng)沒(méi)有馬上被使用,自然會(huì)被儲(chǔ)藏起來(lái),由此推知?jiǎng)澗詞的意思是儲(chǔ)藏,故A項(xiàng)正確。

4推理判斷題。根據(jù)最后一段中In general, someone should eat the same amount of energy each day as his or her body will use.Knowing how many calories are in the food we eat can help keep the energy in and out balanced.從最后一段我們得知控制我們攝入的卡路里是很重要的。故C項(xiàng)正確。

做詞義猜測(cè)題時(shí),一定要注意上下文的聯(lián)系,特別是劃線詞前后的意思,從而做出正確判斷。有時(shí)根據(jù)常識(shí)也能做出正確的判斷。本題第3小題,根據(jù)倒數(shù)第二段中If energy-rich nutrients aren’t used right away, your body will hoard them---first in the liver(肝臟), and then later as body fat. 如果能量豐富的營(yíng)養(yǎng)素沒(méi)有馬上被使用,你的身體會(huì)把它們儲(chǔ)藏起來(lái)----首先是肝臟,然后是身體脂肪。根據(jù)常識(shí),營(yíng)養(yǎng)沒(méi)有馬上被使用,自然會(huì)被儲(chǔ)藏起來(lái),由此推知?jiǎng)澗詞的意思是儲(chǔ)藏,故A項(xiàng)正確。

【題目】I Think I Can: How to Push Yourself to Success

“Because I can” has magic power. It pushes us to leave our comfort zones. It gives us a reason to do the things that we think we can't. 1.2.

Further, you will be truer to yourself, thus making you a happier individual.

Increase Your Willpower

5. However, developing a strong willpower, whether it is in response to our favorite chocolate cake or to over-shopping is something that we can all benefit from. Next time you are tempted to do something you think you might regret, try reminding yourself that you can say no. You have the power.

Dear Tom,
I'm glad to hear that you are considering make up with Peter. If I am you, I would consider a bike as a birthday present for him.
As far as I know it, Peter is always in poor health so he can take more exercises by riding a bike to build up his body. In the meanwhile, you can often go outing by bike together, which is helpfully in rebuilding your friendship. Beside, taking a bike is an environmentally-friendly means of transport. It's convenient him to get around as well.
Apart from giving him the gift, you can also adopt other means, such as traveling, seeing a movie, having dinner and going shopping. No matter how you do, being sincere was the most important. I really hope that you can be good friends forever.
Best wishes!

【題目】A white elephant gift exchange is a popular holiday party game in, the United States. Generally, the party needs at least six participants, and' the larger the group: is, the more entertaining the game will be. 1But it can result in heated competitions between players trying to get the gifts.

2Sometimes, the rule is that the item must be previously owned, which means that you can exchange an unwanted item or trinket(小裝飾品) with your friends. But sometimes you can buy a new but inexpensive item just for the party.

Every participant is expected to bring one wrapped(包裝好的) gift. A white elephant gift is usually something useless or inconvenient.3 Guests are asked to wrap them nicely and leave no identifying markings on the presents.

To start the game, a participant must act as the first player to choose a gift; this can be decided randomly or by picking numbers out of a hat. 4As for the next player? This person can either “steal” the first person’s gift or choose an unwrapped item from the pile. Each gift can be stolen only three times before it is considered "dead".

5Any person that has to give up a gift can also pick a new gift or steal one from another person. Each turn is only allowed three swaps between the current player and the previous players. The game won't finish until all the presents are opened.

A. It all depends on how the game is organized.

B. This process is repeated until the game is over.

C. Don’t forget that the game’s purpose is to have fun.

D. The first player then opens the gift in front of everyone.

E. White elephant gift exchange can be run in different ways.

F. The goal of the party is usually entertainment rather than gain.

G. Trinkets, unidentifiable kitchen items and toys are typical “white elephants” .

【題目】Some parents can’t resist the strong desire to help their children play hooky (逃學(xué)) for a trip. Five-year-old Erica and her siblings Alex, 9, and Kate, 12, missed school in Denver on Aug. 21, 2017. Their father Mr. Reed took them on a camping trip to Halsey to see the solar eclipse (日食). Kate had told her teachers she’d be absent and Mr. Reed let Erica’s and Alex’s teachers know, too. But he didn’t ask for permission.

Mr. Reed has loved astronomy since seeing Neil Armstrong walk on the moon on his sixth birthday. He says, “I want my own kids to have a similar kind of wonderment and hope about future discoveries.”

Parents often dream of traveling with their children to teach them about science, geography and culture. Many teachers support them, as the Reed children’s teachers did. Other teachers were angry about the extra work.

Teacher Amanda says she feels frustrated when parents take students out of school for family trips. If she sends homework, she finds it’s often returned incomplete or incorrect, because the absent student didn’t hear her explanation in class. Some students suffer anxiety as they struggle to catch up. Research shows that students who are absent often, for any reason—excused or unexcused—performed more poorly in school.

Garrick agreed to miss five days of school for the Antarctic trip last year as a senior high school student, however. Managing the homework was a challenge, but it helped him gain time management skills. “And the trip is worth the effort,” he says, “sparking his interest in international relations. You can’t really put a price on changing your world view,” Garrick says. “That’s what travel has done for me. It has changed how I think about things.”

1What’s the teachers’ attitude toward “playing hooky”?

A. They support it as it offers children hope about future discoveries.

B. It angers them because the homework is often returned incorrect.

C. They hold different kinds of views about playing hooky.

D. They are against it because too many students are absent.

2According to the passage, why do the students have a poorer performance in school?

A. Because they are often absent for any reason.

B. Because they are not interested in study at all.

C. Because they travel with their parents too much.

D. Because they don’t do the homework regularly.

3What benefit did Garrick get from his trip to Antarctica?

A. It made him lose time management skills.

B. It changed little of his world view.

C. It awoke his interest in international relations.

D. It made him more creative.

【題目】閱讀理解
Sunday is more like Monday than it used to be. Places of business that used to keep daytime“business hours” are now open late into the night. And on the Internet, the hour of the day and the day of the week have become irrelevant(不相關(guān)的). A half century ago in the United States, most people experienced strong and precise dividing lines between days of rest and days of work, school time and summer time. Today the boundaries still exist, but they seem not clear.
The law in almost all states used to require stores to close on Sunday; in most, it no longer does. It used to keep the schools open in all seasons except summer; in most, it still does. And whether the work week should strengthen its legal limits, or whether it should become more “flexible,” is often debated. How should we, as a society, organize our time? Should we go even further in relaxing the boundaries of time until we live in a world in which every minute is much like every other?
These are not easy questions even to ask. Part of the difficulty is that we rarely recognize the “l(fā)aw of time” even when we meet it face to face. We know as children that we have to attend school a certain number of hours, a certain number of days, a certain number of years — but unless we meet the truant officer (學(xué)監(jiān)), we may well think that we should go to school due to social custom and parents' demand rather than to the law. As adults we are familiar with “extra pay for overtime working,” but less familiar with the fact that what constitutes(構(gòu)成)“overtime” is a matter of legal definition. When we turn the clock forward to start daylight-saving time, have we ever thought to ourselves: “Here is the law in action”? As we shall see, there is a lot of law that has great influence on how we organize and use time: compulsory education law, overtime law, and daylight-saving law — as well as law about Sunday closing, holidays, being late to work, time zones, and so on. Once we begin to look for it, we will have no trouble finding a law of time to examine and assess.
(1)By saying “Sunday is more like Monday than it used to be”, the writer means that_______.
A.work time is equal to rest times
B.many people have a day off on Mondays
C.it is hard for people to decide when to rest
D.the line between work time and rest time is unclear
(2)The author raises the questions in Paragraph 2 to introduce the fact that people __________.
A.fail to make full use of their time
B.enjoy working overtime for extra pay
C.are unaware of the law of time
D.welcome flexible working hours
(3)According to the passage, most children tend to believe that they go to school because they ______.
A.need to acquire knowledge
B.have to obey their parents
C.need to find companions
D.have to observe the law
(4)What is the main idea of the passage?
A.Our life is governed by the law of time.
B.How to organize time is not worth debating.
C.New ways of using time change our society.
D.Our time schedule is decided by social customs.
