根据短文内容,从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有多余选项。

Five reasons your scale might be wrong

1. You weigh yourself on different days each week.

In a Cornell university study published last year, researchers analyzed the food weight diaries that 80 people kept for up to a year. They found that people’s weight changed considerably throughout the week.    1.  Keep weigh-in days consistent for a more accurate assessment.

2.   2.

File this one under “Yes, scientists have actually studied this.” When University of North Dakota researches weighed people with and without clothes at various times of the year, they found that men can reduce 2.5 pounds for their clothing and women can reduce around two pounds, on average.

3. You don’t take muscle gain into consideration.

You’ve heard that muscle is denser (密度大的) than fat.   3.   If you start a strength-training routine, the number on the scale (秤) might not change, but you could still lost inches and drop a clothing size or two.

4. You just drank a lot of water.

It’s called water weight for a reason: Drinking one pound of water can translate to about one pound of weight. So if you stand on the scale soon after drinking an entire water bottle’s worth, you might not like what you see.   4.

5. You weigh yourself after hard exercise.

Compared with water weight, if you weigh in after a tiring cycling class, you may lose weight temporarily because you work up a good sweat .     5.

A.You miscalculate your clothing.

B.But don’t worry, it’s just a temporary gain.

C.Salty foods cause your body to save extra water.

D.In fact, it takes up only about a third as much space.

E.Jump on the scale if you need to improve.

F.You should be aware of how much water you have drunk.

G.Many people were heaviest on Mondays and lightest on Fridays.

 

1.G 2.A 3.D 4.B 5.E 【解析】 试题分析:本文属于说明文,很多人都喜欢减肥,喜欢不断地在体重计上量自己的体重,本文介绍了五种体重计计量不准确的情况。 1.G 根据横线前句They found that people’s weight changed considerably throughout the week.人们的体重在一周的不同时间中是不一样的。那么横线句内容应该与之相关,G项“Many people were heaviest on Mondays and lightest on Fridays.”说明的正是一周不同时间,人们的体重不一样的情况。故G项符合上下文串联。 2.A 根据本段最后一句they found that men can reduce 2.5 pounds for their clothing and women can reduce around two pounds, on average.可知很多人在计算体重的时候,把衣服的重量也计算在内了。所以A项“You miscalculate your clothing你错误计算了你的衣服.”符合上下文串联。 3.D 根据横线前句You’ve heard that muscle is denser (密度大的) than fat.在人体中肌肉的密度比脂肪更大。说明本段涉及这两种物质的比较,D项“In fact, it takes up only about a third as much space.肌肉只有脂肪的三分之一的空间”介绍的是这两种物质的比较,符合上下文串联。 4.B 根据横线前句So if you stand on the scale soon after drinking an entire water bottle’s worth, you might not like what you see. 可知在喝水以后,你的体重会有明显增加。但是不要担心,那样的体重只是暂时的,并不是你真正的重量。故B项正确。 5.E 根据前句Compared with water weight, if you weigh in after a tiring cycling class, you may lose weight temporarily because you work up a good sweat .可知如果你在锻炼以后再去量体重,你会发现自己体重变轻了。所以如果你想继续把体重减下去,你跳上体重计,用这样的重量去激励自己。故E项正确。 考点:考查说明文阅读

America used to have a strong college education system for prison inmates (prisoners). It was seen as a way to rehabilitate men and women in prison by helping them go straight when they got out.

Those taxpayer-supported college classes were put to an end in the 1990s. But New York Governor Andrew Cuomo would like to bring them back in the state, setting off a fierce new debate.

A number of lawmakers in New York have promised to kill Cuomo’s proposal (提议).

Cuomo says reintroducing taxpayer-funded college classes in New York’s prisons is a common-sense plan that will reduce the number of inmates who commit new crimes.

“You pay $ 60,000 for a prison cell for a year,” Cuomo responded. “You put a guy away for 10 years, and that’s $600,000. Right now, chances are almost half. Once he’s set free, he’s going to come right back.”

Cuomo says helping inmates get a college education would cost about $ 5,000 a year per person. He argues, “It’s a small amount of money if it keeps that inmate from bouncing back into prison.”

But even some members of the governor’s own party hate this idea. State Assemblywoman Addie Russell, whose upstate district includes three state prisons, says taxpayers just won’t stand for inmates getting a free college education, while middle-class families struggle to pay for their kids’ college fees.

“That is the vast majority of feedback (反馈) that I’m also getting from my constituents (选民),” she says. “You know, ‘Where is the relief for the rest of the population who obey the law ?’

“I was very disappointed that the policy had been changed,” says Gerald Gaes, who served as an expert on college programs for the Federal Bureau of Prisons in the 1990s. In 1994, President Clinton stopped federal student aid programs for inmates.

Gaes says research shows that college classes actually save taxpayers’ money over time, by reducing the number of inmates who break the law and wind up back in those expensive prison cells.

“It is cost-effective,” he says. “Designing prisons that way will have a long-term benefit for New York State.”

C.the costs of running prisons in the US are on the rise.

Long live language. That’s the message Edmonton Mayor Don Iveson and city councilor Amarjeet Sohi voiced when they declared Feb. 21 to be International Mother Language Day (IMLD) in Edmonton, the capital of the Canadian province of Alberta.

The pair were on hand for the International and Heriage Languages Association’s (IHLA) 12th annual Mother Language Day celebrations in an effort to save endangered languages.

“Keeping languages alive is important for me richness of our culture and the diversity that strengthens Edmonton,” said Iveson.

There are nearly 7,000 unique languages spoken worldwide, but according to data from the United Nations Educational, Scientific and Cultural Organization (UNESCO) half of those languages are at risk of going extinct in just a few generations.

For example, there are currently over 3,000 languages spoken throughout Africa. This sounds impressive until you realize that there were over 10,000 languages spoken on the continent before colonization during the 19th century.

“People who lose their language experience suffering,” said Olenka Bilash, professor of second language education at the University of Alberta. Bilash likened the loss of language to the loss of cultural identity.

“As a multicultural society, it is very important to continue to preserve and pass on to future generations the language, culture, traditions and customs that we bring to Canada, said IHLA president Olga Prokhorova.

While the City of Edmonton’s citizen and new arrival centre in city hall provides services in 150 languages, Bilash said research shows that “most people are still uncomfortable speaking their own language in public spaces.”

Bliash hopes the official announcement of International Mother Language Day in Edmonton——which echoes International Mother Language Day declared by UNESCO in 1999 —— will be a step toward encouraging more language diversity in order to preserve the cultures tied to them.

“Our words define us; our expressions and vocabulary define who we are as people,” said Marueen Kubinec, Alberta’s minister of culture and tourism. “Our words are living examples, perhaps the best that there are, of human creativity.”

1.The example of the languages in Africa is given to show             .

A.there’re many languages in Arica.

B.a great number of languages became extinct.

C.Africa believes in encouraging cultural diversity.

D.Africans are trying to save endangered languages.

2.Both Bilash and Prokhorova stress the importance of             .

A.mastering more than one foreign language.

B.public policy on Canadian traditions and customs.

C.protecting languages and cultures from extinction.

D.the official announcement of IMLD by UNESCO.

3.What does the underlined word “echoes” in the text mean ?

A.Suggests.  B.Creates.

C.Celebrates.  D.Imitates.

4.What can we learn from Kubinec’s words ?

A.Your language is your identity.

B.Native language is disappearing.

C.Alberta is rich in language diversity.

D.Language can be saved by creativity.

At any given time, hundreds of postcards are in transit (运输中) across the world as strangers communicate through a movement called Post-crossing.

Emma Delaney says it’s a sad day when there isn’t a postcard in her mailbox. She doesn’t have a bunch of friends travelling overseas at the moment —— she’s just really active in the underground hobby of Postcrossing.

“I’ve sent over 3,000 postcards, but I’ve been doing it for close to seven years,” she says. “My husband, generally appreciative of my hobby, is sometimes frustrated by the amount of cardboard hanging around the house or in my car.”

Postcrossing is a hobby where strangers send each other postcards across the world. You register on the website, list your interests and preferences for postcards, then receive an address of a stranger on the other side of the world to send a postcard to.

“I tend to send a lot of postcards of the local area because people are interested in where you’re from and what you do,” Emma says.

From Uzbekistan to Belarus and Kazakhstan to Moldova, Emma has a growing collection of photos from around the world. The postcards have helped shape her international travelling too. “I didn’t travel overseas until I was 32 and a lot of the locations we chose for our honeymoon were selected because of the postcards I’d received.”

“Some people see sending mail as being a bit boring and unfashionable, but Postcrossing is popular and lots of people are fascinated that I do it.,”

The Postcrossing project has just celebrated its eighth birthday and has over 400,000 active members in 215 countries. The group says they’ve delivered over 18 million postcards.

And while postal workers aren’t supposed to read people’s postcards, Emma says she’s happy for them to do so at her post office in Shellharbour. She even encourages her correspondents to say hello to the Australia Post staff.

“It’s a hobby that I continue to do because I find it enjoyable and relaxing.”
