16．People who are slightly overweight or mildly obese（肥胖的） have a lower risk of early death than normal weight individuals（個人；個體），according to a new analysis of nearly 100international studies．
The studies，most conducted within the past decade，included about three million adults from around the world．The result of these studies by researchers at the National Center for Health Statistics in Maryland，part of the U．S．Centers for Disease Control and Prevention，shows that slightly overweight or obese people were six percent less likely to die from all causes compared to people of normal weight．But the researchers found that seriously obese individuals were still at a 30percent greater risk of death compared to healthy-weight individuals．
Study lead author Katherine Flegal says she was not surprised that overweight people would not have a higher death risk．"Because we'd actually already read a lot of this literature and realized that death rates for overweight would be at least not higher than normal[weight，"she said．"I guess l was a little bit surprised that it was definitely lower．And l was also surprised that the lower rates of obesity didn't seem to differ from normal weight．"
But Flegal stresses the difference in death rates appear to be small between normal-weight people and overweight and mildly obese individuals．
The finding by Flegal and colleagues have raised new questions about the reliability（可靠性）of the so-called"body mass index"or BMI，a measurement of body fat as a ratio（比例，比率）of height to weight，that has become popular in recent years among public health experts to measure potential health risks．
But Heymsfield warns that individuals should not conclude that it's okay to put on extra kilograms，since being at a healthy weight lowers the risk for heart disease and diabetes．

25．Katherine Flegal feels surprised at the fact thatB．
A．obese people have higher death rates
B．slightly obese people have lower death rates
C．obese people tend to die early
D．death rates have nothing to do with body weight
26．What do we learn from the fifth paragraph？A
A．BMI may not be so reliable．
B．The study provides further evidence for BMI．
C．BMI tells nothing about potential health risks．
D．BMI has been much questioned recently．
27．What can we conclude from the passage'？B
A．It's OK to put on extra weight．
B．It doesn't matter if you are slightly obese．
C．Obese people are much healthier．
D．Body weight has nothing to do with death rates．
28．What topic does the passage mainly deal with？C
A．Technology．        B．Dieting．
C．Health．            D．Death．

分析 本文屬于說明文閱讀，作者通過這篇文章主要向我們描述了研究發(fā)現(xiàn)輕度肥胖的人死亡率較低，因此輕度肥胖不損害健康．

解答 25．B．細(xì)節(jié)理解題．根據(jù)第二段I guess l was a little bit surprised that it was definitely lower．And l was also surprised that the lower rates of obesity didn't seem to differ from normal weight可知Katherine Flegal感到驚訝對于輕度肥胖的人死亡率較低；故選B．
26．A．推理判斷題．根據(jù)最后一段But Heymsfield warns that individuals should not conclude that it's okay to put on extra kilograms，since being at a healthy weight lowers the risk for heart disease and diabetes可知BMI可能不那么可靠；故選A．
27．B．推理判斷題．根據(jù)第一段People who are slightly overweight or mildly obese（肥胖的） have a lower risk of early death than normal weight individuals可知輕度肥胖是沒關(guān)系的；故選B．
28．C．推理判斷題．根據(jù)第一段People who are slightly overweight or mildly obese（肥胖的） have a lower risk of early death than normal weight individuals可知這篇文章主要討論健康問題；故選C．

點(diǎn)評 考察學(xué)生的細(xì)節(jié)理解和推理判斷能力，做細(xì)節(jié)理解題時一定要找到文章中的原句，和題干進(jìn)行比較，再做出正確的選擇．在做推理判斷題不要以個人的主觀想象代替文章的事實(shí)，要根據(jù)文章事實(shí)進(jìn)行合乎邏輯的推理判斷．

4．One day when I was 12，my mother gave me an order：I was to walk to the public library，and borrow at least one book for the summer．This was one more weapon for her to defeat my strange problem-inability to read．
In the library，I found my way into the"Children's Room"．I sat down on the floor and pulled a few books off the shelf at random．The cover of a book caught my eye．It presented a picture of a beagle．I had recently had a beagle，the first and only animal companion I ever had as a child．He was my secret sharer，but one morning，he was gone，given away to someone who had the space and the money to care for him．I never forgot my beagle．
There on the book's cover was a beagle which looked identical（相同的） to my dog．I ran my fingers over the picture of the dog on the cover．My eyes ran across the title，Amos，the Beagle with a Plan．Unknowingly，I had read the title．Without opening the book，I borrowed it from the library for the summer．
Under the shade of a bush，I started to read about Amos．I read very，very slowly with difficulty．Though pages were turned slowly，I got the main idea of the story about a dog who，like mine，had been separated from his family and who finally found his way back home．That dog was my dog，and I was the little boy in the book．At the end of the story，my mind continued the final scene of reunion，on and on，until my own lost dog and I were，in my mind，running together．
My mother's call returned me to the real world．I suddenly realized something：I had read a book，and I had loved reading that book．Everyone knew I could not read．But I had read it．Books could be incredibly wonderful and I was going to read them．
I never told my mother about my"miraculous"（奇跡般的） experience that summer，but she saw a slow but remarkable improvement in my classroom performance during the next year．And years later，she was proud that her son had read thousands of books，was awarded a PhD in literature，and authored his own books，articles，poetry and fiction．The power of the words has held．
5．The author's mother told him to borrow a book in order toD．
A．make him learn more about weapons
B．encourage him to do more walking
C．let him spend a meaningful summer
D．help cure him of his reading problem
6．The book caught the author's eye becauseC．
A．he liked children's stories very much
B．it contained pretty pictures of animals
C．it reminded him of his own dog
D．he found its title easy to understand
7．What can be inferred from the last paragraph？B
A．The author has had happy summers ever since．
B．The author has become a successful writer．
C．The author's mother read the same book．
D．The author's mother rewarded him with books．
8．Which one could be the best title of the passage？B
A．My Passion for Reading
B．The Charm of a Book
C．Mum's Strict Order
D．Reunion with My Beagle．

11．One morning，more than a hundred years ago，an American inventor called Elias Howe finally fell asleep．He had been working all night on the design of a sewing machine but he had run into a very difficult problem：It seemed impossible to get the thread to run smoothly around the needle．
Though he was tired，Howe slept badly．He turned and turned．Then he had a dream．He dreamt that he had been caught by terrible savages whose king wanted to kill him and eat him unless he could build a perfect sewing machine．When he tried to do so，Howe ran into the same problem as before．The thread kept getting caught around the needle．The king flew into the cage and ordered his soldiers to kill Howe．They came up towards him with their spears raised．But suddenly the inventor noticed something．There was a hole in the tip of each spear．The inventor awoke from the dream，realizing that he had just found the answer to the problem．Instead of trying to get the thread to run around the needle，he should make it run through a small hole in the center of the needle．This was the simple idea that finally made Howe design and build the first really practised sewing machine．
Elias Howes was not the only one in finding the answer to his problem in this way．
Thomas Edison，the inventor of the electric light，said his best ideas came into him in dreams．So did the great physicist Albert Einstein．Charlotte Bronte also drew in her dreams in writing Jane Eyre．
To know the value of dreams，you have to understand what happens when you are asleep．Even then，a part of your mind is still working．This unconscious（無意識的），but still active part understands your experiences and goes to work on the problems you have had during the day．It stores all sorts of information that you may have forgotten or never have really noticed．It is only when you fall asleep that this part of the brain can send messages to the part you use when you are awake．However，the unconscious part acts in a special way．It uses strange images which the conscious part may not understand at first．This is why dreams are sometimes called"secret messages to ourselves"．
8．The problem Howe was trying to solve wasD．
A．what kind of thread to use
B．how to design a needle which would not break
C．where to put the needle
D．how to prevent the thread from getting caught around the needle
9．Thomas Edison is spoken of becauseB．
A．he also tried to invent a sewing machine  
B．he got some of his ideas from dreams
C．he was one of Howe's best friends         
D．he also had difficulty in falling asleep
10．Dreams are sometimes called"secret messages to ourselves"becauseA．
A．strange images are used to communicate ideas
B．images which have no meaning are used
C．we can never understand the real meaning
D．only specially trained people can understand them．

1．Staying healthy is important，but many people neglect （忽視） their health because they don't think they have the time to look after it．It's not just a time matter； people think it's boring to spend time on their health．In fact，you can do some simple things to get healthier and have fun．
There are some fun things that hardly seem like they are for keeping you healthy at all，but they do help．The first thing you can do is singing．Singing improves your oxygen flow，which in turn is good for your skin and immune system（免疫系統(tǒng)）．It's also good for your brain．Another feel-good and health-improving activity is laughing．You can watch a funny movie．Laughing is a healthy way to reduce stress and pain，improve brain function，lower blood pressure and protect the heart．
Laughing and singing might go together，but for something completely normal that you do every day，you should eat to stay healthy．It's unhealthy not to eat breakfast or try to work on an empty stomach．You can eat some fruit or other healthy snacks instead of missing a meal．
Exercise is important to staying healthy，but it often feels more like work than fun．One thing you can do to have more fun is attend a dance class．Dancing in a safe environment is good exercise as well as fun．Taking classes in kung fu can be a lot of fun too．It can be a great way to lose weight，but you should probably consult your doctor before starting if you are in bad health or very overweight．
32．According to the passage，many neglect their health because theyC．
A．a(chǎn)re already healthy enough．
B．a(chǎn)re too tired to stay healthy．
C．believe there's no time for it．
D．think it costs too much．
33．According to the passage，which is not the way to stay healthy？D
A．Singing and dancing．
B．Attending a dance class．
C．Taking Kung  fu classes．
D．Working on an empty stomach．
34．The underlined word"consult"in Paragraph 4 probably means"A"．
 A．a(chǎn)sk      B．a(chǎn)dmire    C．consider        D．manage
35．The best title for the passage is probablyB．
A．What to eat to stay healthy．
B．Fun ways to stay healthy．
C．How to make life more fun．
D．Different fun exercises．

5．If you are in a crowd，the first and most important thing is to make yourself familiar with your surroundings and mentally notice alternate exits．（36）A
Make yourself aware of the type of ground you are standing on，and know that in a crowd of moving people wet or uneven ground can be slippery or hazardous，causing you to fall．
（37）F When in danger，a few seconds can make all the difference，giving you the possibility of taking advantage of escaping route．Always stay closer to the escape route．
If you find yourself in the middle of a moving crowd，do not fight against the pressure，do not stand still or sit down，because you could easily get trampled．（38）G
Take advantage of any space that may open up to move sideways to the crowd movement where the flow is weaker．
Keep your hands up by your chest，like a boxer-it gives you movement and protects your chest．（39）B If you cannot get up because you are injured，get someone to pull you back up．If you have kids，lift them up．
If you fall and cannot get up，keep moving by crawling in the same direction of the crowd，or if that is not possible，then cover your head with your arms and curl up into fetal position．（40）C

A．No matter where you are，make sure you always know how to get out．
B．If you fall，get up quickly．
C．Do not lie on your stomach or back，as this dangerously exposes your lungs．
D．The worst is to be pushed by the crowd against an immovable object
E．There is always space between people．
F．Be aware of the general atmosphere of the event，as panic situations can often be expected．
G．Instead，move in the same direction of the crowd．
