阅读下面短文并回答问题，然后将答案写到答题卡相应的位置上（请注意问题后的词数要求）。 [1]It's safe, it's simple, and it works: Drinking right amounts of water really can help you lose weight, new research shows. [2]In what researchers claim is the first-ever trial of the effect of water consumption on weight loss, scientists from Virginia Tech found that dieters who started each meal with two glasses of water lost nearly five pounds more, on average, than dieters who did not, over the course of 12 weeks. There's no shortage of clear evidence about how water might work to control your appetite (食欲). It ________________ so you don't eat so much; it keeps down your thirst so that you don't turn to calorie－rich sodas or juices. But until now, the researchers say, there has been no true evidence that water's appetite-controlling benefits ever translate into actual weight loss. Now there is. In the 12-week study period, dieters instructed to drink water with every meal lost an average of 15.5 pounds; dieters given no instructions lost, on average, just 11 pounds. [3]Perhaps the most surprising thing about the finding is how little we still know about healthy water consumption in general. In fact, although doctors and public health authorities regularly remind us to drink more water, very few studies give any insight into what our ideal quantity may be. [4]The new results today suggest that many people could indeed stand to drink a little more water than they do. But if you're looking to lose weight, be aware that it is actually possible to drink too much water, and you probably won't help matters any by drinking too much water at a time. In extreme cases, it can even be deadly. A couple of glasses with each meal, however, should be no problem at all for a healthy person. 1.What is the main idea of the text？(no more than 8 words) ________________________________________________________________ 2.Complete the following statement with proper words.(no more than 2 words) Enough obvious evidence _______ how your appetite might be under the control of water. ________________________________________________________________ 3.Fill in the blank in Paragraph 2 with proper words.(no more than 3 words) ________________________________________________________________ 4.Why should we avoid drinking too much water at a time？(no more than 6 words) ________________________________________________________________ 5.What does the word "it" (Line 1, Paragraph 1) probably refer to？(no more than 6 words) ________________________________________________________________
If you are afraid of the dark，it’s not a big deal．It’s perfectly normal to feel afraid After all，animals do too. “Fear matters，”says Karen Warkentin，an ecologist．“It’s a good thing，” she adds, “because fear makes you do things that keep you alive.” Like kids，many animals experience fear and they respond to the feeling in variety of ways．A frightened turtle pulls its head and legs inside its shell．A small fish will swim away when a big，hungry fish approaches． Some animals respond to fear in ways you might not expect．The first example is that the fear of being eaten can scare some frogs right out of their eggs. Warkentin made the surprising discovery while studying red—eyed tree frogs in Costa Rica. In this species，female frogs attach jellylike clumps（果冻一样的块状物）of their eggs to the undersides of leaves．The leaves hang on branches that dangle（悬挂）over ponds．After they hatch from the eggs，the tadpoles（蝌蚪）then fall into the water，where they eventually grow into adult frogs. Tree frog eggs usually grow for 6 days before hatching．If they sense that a hungry snake is about to attack，however，they can hatch up to 2 days ahead of schedule. As the snakes are unable to swim，by falling into the water early，the tadpoles can escape. If hatching early helps protect red—eyed tree frogs from snakes，you might wonder why their eggs don’t always hatch sooner．It turns out that hatching early brings its own danger．Once tadpoles land in the water，hungry fish and other animals like to eat them too．Staying in their eggs for a full 6 days，then，allows frog embryos（胚胎）to grow big and strong．This extra growth improves their chances of surviving in the water． 1.It can be inferred from the passage that fears . A．help animals grow bigger and stronger B．are less common among young animals C．help animals move a lot to fit the environment D．are more or less important in order for animals to survive 2.We are told in the passage that tree frogs . A．face danger both inside their eggs and in the water B．will grow fast if they fall into the water later C．are surprisingly clever when inside their eggs D．stay in their eggs longer if they are frightened 3.Why do the tadpoles hatch up to 2 days ahead of the schedule？Because A．They like falling into the water early B．They want to grow into adult frog C． They sense a hungry snake is about to attack D．Frog embryos can grow strong 4.What is the best title of the passage ？ A．What is Fear B．Why do we feel afraid C．You feel afraid，animals do too D．Fear is a good thing 5.What do you think would be discussed in the following paragraph? A．Further explanations as to why tree frogs hatch ahead of schedule． B．How the unborn frogs know when a snake is about to attack them． C．Another example of animals that responds to fear in an unexpected way． D．How tree frogs improve their chances of survival before falling into the water.
BEIJING , March 9 --- The central government will require an additional three years of use for official vehicles for ministers and governors to reduce the costs of purchasing new cars, media have reported. The new rule has been applied among all Party and government departments nationwide, the Beijing News reported on Tuesday. The new rule has not yet been made public, said Li, a member of the Chinese People’s Political Consultative Conference National Committee. Under the old rules, the cars used by minister-level officials could be replaced as often as every five years, Li said. These officials will also keep the same cars when they assume new posts, he added. The new rule also reiterated(重申) that officials ranking below minister-or-governor-levels should not be allocated cars. The cars possessed by their departments should be used on demand. “It violates the rules for lower-ranking --- even county-level-officials to be allocated cars,” Li said. Purchases of vehicles for official use have been heavily investigated, as they account for a large expenditure (花费) of public funds every year. A survey on the Web news www.ifeng.com found 64 percent of respondents believed the new rule will be difficult to carry out because it is related to officials’ interests. “Local government departments had halted(中断) approvals for requests for such vehicles and had started to work on new quotas(指标) under the new rules,” Li said. “The future reform of official vehicle use will introduce market mechanisms and monetization.” Premier Wen Jiabao said in the annual government work report on Saturday that expenditures on such vehicles will not increase in 2011 compared with a year ago. Beijing’s standing deputy mayor Ji Lin last week said the municipal (市政的) government will release the number of vehicles for official use in the capital as early as at the end of this month. Earlier this month, the Minister of Finance had published a rule regulating the budgets for such vehicles. 1.What is the purpose of the new rule allocating vehicles among officials? A．To promote a low-carbon lifestyle. B．To cut down the present huge expenditures of purchasing cars. C．To make good use of budgets for official cars. D．To solve the problem of severe traffic jam. 2.How often could the cars used by minister-level officials be replaced according to the new rule? A．Every 3 years. B．Every 5 years. C．Every 8 years. D．Every 10 years. 3.What about the officials ranking below minister-or-governor levels in terms of official vehicles? A．They can still possess special cars. B．They can use their own private cars. C．They can use cars whenever officially necessary. D．They can be allocated second-hand cars. 4.What is the public’s attitude toward the new rule’s fulfillment? A．Uncertain. B．Optimistic. C．Indifferent. D．Passive 5.From the passage, we can infer that_________. A．the government is determined to carry out the new rule B．the new rule has not yet been made public C．the new rule will benefit official’s interest D．the new rule is applied to minister-level officials
You’re rushing to work and a man ahead of you collapses on the sidewalk. Do you stop to help? In a study of by-standers, it was found that some people avert their gaze and keep on walking rather than stop and get involved. “There is a tendency to decide that no action is needed.” says a psychologist. “The first thoughts that pop into your mind often keep you from offering help. In order to take action, you have to work against them.” Here are some common thoughts that might prevent you from helping. ● Why should I be the one? I’m probably not the most competent（有能力的） person in this crowd. You might think someone older or with more medical knowledge should offer assistance. ● What if he doesn’t really need my help? The fear of embarrassment is powerful; no one wants to risk looking foolish in front of others. ● No one else looks concerned- this must not be a problem. We can follow the people around us, but most people tend to hold back their emotions in public. “If you spot trouble and find yourself explaining inaction, force yourself to stop and evaluate the situation instead of walking on,” says the psychologist. “Then retry to involve other people; you don’t have to take on the entire responsibility of being helpful. Sometimes it’s just a matter of turning to the person next to you and saying, ‘It looks like we should do something.’ Or asking someone if an ambulance has been called and, if not, to call for one. Once you take action, most people will follow you.” 1.Which is NOT the common thought that stops you from helping others? A．I’m not the very person capable of setting the problem. B．It looks like we should do something. C．It must not be a problem as no one else is concerned. D．He doesn’t really need my help. 2.According to a study of by-standers, what will some people do when a man ahead falls down on the sidewalk? A．They will call for help and then walk away. B．They will stop and offer help. C．They will turn away their eyes and go on walking. D．They will laugh at him. 3.We learn from the last paragraph that if we spot trouble, ． A．we should call the ambulance as soon as we can. B．we should take on the whole responsibility and do something alone. C．we should stop and evaluate the situation and try to make other people follow. D．we should turn to other people and ask them to take on the responsibility 4.In order to offer others your timely help, you need to ． A．ask others for help and call the police B．get along well with the passers-by who spot the trouble C．go directly to the police station D．work against the first thoughts that prevent you offering help 5.The main purpose of the text is to tell readers ． A．to give others a hand B．to be more competent C．not to risk looking foolish D．to stop and evaluate the situation
I was in my third year of teaching creative writing at a high school in New York, when one of my students, 15-year-old Mikey, gave me a note from his mother. It explained his absence from class the day before. I had seen Mikey himself writing the note at his desk. Most parental-excuse notes I received were penned by my students. If I were to deal with them, I’d be busy 24 hours a day. The forged excuse notes made a large pile, with writing that ranged from imaginative to crazy. The writers of those notes didn’t realize that honest excuse notes were usually dull: “Peter was late because the alarm clock didn’t go off.” Isn’t it remarkable, I thought, how the students complained and said it was hard putting 200 words together on any subject? But when they produced excuse notes, they were brilliant. So one day I typed out a dozen excuse notes and gave them to my classes. I said, “They’re supposed to be written by parents, but actually they are not. True, Mikey?” The students looked at me nervously. “Now, this will be the first class to study the art of the excuse note --- the first class, ever, to practice writing them. You’re so lucky to have a teacher like me who has taken your best writing and turned it into a subject worthy of study. ” Everyone smiled as I went on, “You used your imaginations. So try more now. Today I’d like you to write ‘An Excuse Note from Adam to God’ or ‘An Excuse Note from Eve to God’.” Heads went down. Pens raced across paper. For the first time ever I saw students so careful in their writing that they had to be asked to go to lunch by their friends. The next day everyone had excuse notes. Heated discussions followed. The headmaster entered the classroom and walked up and down, looking at papers, and then said, “I’d like you to see me in my office.” When I stepped into his office, he came to shake my hand and said, “I just want to tell you that that lesson, that task, whatever the hell you were doing, was great. Those kids were writing on the college level. Thank you. ” 1.What did the author do with the students found dishonest? A．He reported them to the headmaster. B．He lectured them hard on honesty. C．He had them take notes before lunch. D．He helped improve their writing skills. 2.The author found that compared with the true excuse notes, the produced ones by the students were usually__________. A．less impressive B．more imaginative C．worse written D．less convincing 3.The author had the students practice writing excuse notes so that the students could learn_________. A．the importance of being honest B．how to write excuse notes skillfully C．the pleasure of creative writing D．how to be creative in writing 4.The underlined word “forged” in the second paragraph means “______”. A．former B．copied C．false D．honest 5.What did the headmaster think of the author’s way of teaching? A．Effective. B．Difficult C．Misleading. D．Reasonable
When I was young I loved taking part in high school musicals．I loved to 36 in front of hundreds of people．In one production, I auditioned（试音）like 37 else. My music teacher was 38 that I would get a particular part in the music drama. The part I thought I had was a 39 lead who sang some of the most beautiful love songs. But one day the show director pulled me aside. I was 40 to be offered the leading role. To my disappointment, he said, “Bob, I found a boy with an excellent voice. I need to give the 41 to him.” From that moment on I began hating music class. I 42 that I didn’t like what we were singing. My music teacher didn’t know why. She 43 me in front of the class and told me I had changed. She didn’t know what I had been told. But when they 44 the finalists, I was given a 45 role. For some time my pride was 46 with having to do something I didn’t think I should be doing. But I did it. The minor role I had 47 to be much more fun than I had expected. My performance even 48 my brother who was also in the audience. Life is really like a 49 and although we do not audition for the role, each of us is 50 by the director to play a certain part in it. The 51 is that we sometimes don’t like the part we are given. Like me in high school I became 52 -–if I couldn’t be the lead, I wouldn’t show up for rehearsal（彩排）. Then we wonder why we feel so 53 . Sometimes we don’t even feel like we are a part of the “Big Show. ” Everyone does indeed have a role. Some are in front of the curtain, some are behind, but all are 54 for the show to go on.

[l] Scientists guess that 80% of a person's weight gain comes from genetics and 20% comes from the person's environment. By 1998, more than 130 genes and gene neighbors were found to have some link to weight gain or weight loss in people. These different genes can either work all together or work in groups. This means that different people may ___________________or lose weight with difficulty for different reasons. [2] One example of these different kinds of combinations is a family of genes that allows people to change extra fat into heat instead of storing the fat in the body. Animals which have this same family of genes do not gain weight easily as other animals. Other genes may affect how quickly the stomach lets the brain know that it is full. If these genes slow down the passage of this information, people may eat more than they really need. Genes are also thought to be linked with a person’s fidgets in a day. Fidgeting is small movements of a person's hands, feet, arms or legs usually when the person is nervous or excited. Fidgeting actually uses a lot of energy over a day and his energy usually comes from burning fat. [3] In one experiment about weight gain, researchers wanted to see how much energy different people used when they were resting. People in the experiment were asked to lie on a bed and not move for 40 minutes. Researchers then measured the energy the person used for breathing. They found that different people in the study used very different amounts of energy for this one job, breathing. Researchers calculated that some people in the study burned 1,067 calories per day while others burned up to 3,015 calories. Those people who burn fewer calories doing normal work or exercise have a slow metabolism(新陈代谢). 1.What is the main idea of this passage? ( no more than 10 words. )
2.When may people eat much more than they really need ? ( no more than 12 words ) ____________________________________________________________________ 3.Please fill in the blank in the first paragraph with proper words or phrases to complete the sentence. (no more than 5 words. )
4.What’s the conclusion of the experiment? ( no more than 15 words. )
5.What does the underlined word "it" (in Paragraph 2) probably refer to? (no more than 3 words)
Boys’ schools are the perfect place to teach young men to express their emotions and involve them in activities such as art, dance and music. Far from the traditional image of a culture of aggressive masculinity (阳刚), the absence of girls gives boys the chance to develop without pressure to conform to(符合、顺应) a stereotype（老套）, a US study says. Boys at single-sex schools were said to be more likely to get involved in cultural and artistic activities that helped develop their emotional expressiveness, rather than feeling they had to conform to the“boy code”of hiding their emotions to be a “real man”. The findings of the study go against received wisdom that boys do better when taught alongside girls. Tony Little, headmaster of Eton, warned that boys were being faded by the British education system because it had become too focused on girls. He criticized teachers for failing to recognize that boys are actually more emotional than girls. The research argued that boys often perform badly in mixed schools because they become discouraged when their female peers do better earlier in speaking and reading skills. But in single-sex schools teachers can tailor lessons to boys’ learning style, letting them move around the classroom and getting them to compete in teams to prevent boredom, wrote the study’s author, Abigail James, of the University of Virginia. Teachers could encourage boys to enjoy reading and writing with “boy-focused” approaches such as themes and characters that appeal to them. Because boys generally have more acute vision learned best through touch, and are physically more active, they need to be given “hands-on” lessons where they are allowed to walk around. “Boys in mixed schools view classical music as feminine (女性的) and prefer the modern genre (类型) in which violence and sexism are major themes.” James wrote. Single-sex education also made it less likely that boys would feel they had to conform to a stereotype that men should be “masterful and in charge” in relationships. “ In mixed schools boys feel forced to act like men before they understand themselves well enough to know what that means.” the study reported. 1.The author believes that a single-sex school would ____ . A．force boys to hide their emotions to be "real men" B．help to cultivate masculine aggressiveness in boys C．naturally strengthen the traditional image of a man in boys D．encourage boys to express their emotions more freely 2.It is commonly believed that in a mixed school boys _____ . A．behave more responsibly B．grow up more healthily C．perform relatively better D．receive a better education 3.What does Tony Little say about the British education system? A．It fails more boys than girls academically. B．It focuses more on mixed school education. C．It places more pressure on boys than on girls. D．It fails to give boys the attention they need. 4.According to Abigail James, one of the advantages of single-sex schools is ______. A．boys can focus on their lessons without being disturbed B．teaching can be tailored to suit the characteristics of boys C．boys can choose to learn whatever they are interested in D．teaching can be designed to promote boys’ team spirit 5.According to Abigail James’ report, it can be inferred that boys tend to _____________________. A．have sharper vision. B．conform to stereotypes. C．enjoy being in charge. D．be violent and sexist.
Michelle Obama made a daring decision to return to the same designer who created her Inaugural (就职）Ball dress four years ago --- and the risk paid off. The First Lady looked extremely attractive in a thin, sweeping, and ruby-colored dress by designer Jason Wu. She teamed the dramatic dress with heels by Jimmy Choo and a diamond ring by Kimberly McDonald. She surprised the fashion establishment by returning to a Wu design which had been the custom made for her. Four years ago at her first Inauguration Ball, Michelle shimmered（熠熠生辉）in an off-white, one-shouldered floor-length dress by the designer. Wu, who was 26 at the time and had only been working in fashion for three years, saw his career take off after the First Lady's surprise decision to wear one of his dresses. He said at the time that he was unaware she had chosen the dress and had been watching at home on his couch and eating pizza when she appeared. After her 2013 decision, Wu told Women's Wear Daily: “Mrs Obama likes to keep her secrets. She fooled me again.” Wu released a women's clothing and accessories（装饰品）collection at Target last year and continues to be popular with the First Lady for official engagements. The sleeveless, cross-halter neck dress with low-cut back flattered（突出）49-year-old Michelle's arms and neat waist. It had been created especially for her by Wu and was a departure from the dark and plain colour tone she stuck to at earlier inauguration events. Mrs Obama's new hairstyle -- she had bangs（美发沙龙）cut on her birthday last week had been loosely tousled（蓬松的）for the special night. Vice-President Joe Biden's wife Jill also looked attractive in a blue silk dress by Vera Wang at the Inauguration Ball. 1.What does the passage mainly talk about？ A．Michelle Obama’s inaugural ball dress. B．Wu, a great designer. C．The First Lady’s secrets. D．Mrs Obama’s 2013 decision. 2.Michelle Obama’s brave decision proved to be a_________. A．risk B．danger C． Surprise D．success 3. According to the passage, which of the following is correct? A．Mrs Obama’s inaugural dresses were made by the same designer. B．Joe Biden’s wife Jill also had her dress created by Wu. C．The colour tone at Michelle’s earlier inaugural events was not satifactory. D．Mrs Obama had straight forehead hair as her new hairstyle for the special night. 4. Which of the following best describes Jason Wu? A．Daring and gifted. B．Unusual and cautious. C．Careful and brave. D．Talented and lucky. 5. From the 6th and 7th paragraphs we know that________. A．Wu was aware that Mrs Obama had chosen his work again B．Wu didn’t know Mrs Obama had chosen his creation again. C．Mrs Obama told Wu to give away her secrets D．Mrs Obama should have told Wu the truth
The forces that make Japan one of the world's most earthquake-prone（有地震倾向的） countries could become part of its long-term energy solution． Water from deep below the ground at Japan's tens of thousands of hot springs could be used to produce electricity． Although Japanese high-tech companies are leaders in geothermal（地热的） technology and export it, its use is limited in the nation． "Japan should no doubt make use of its resources of geothermal energy," said Yoshiyasu Takefuji, a leading researcher of thermal-electric power production． The disastrous earthquake and tsunami on March 11, 2011 caused a reaction against atomic power, which previously made up 30 percent of Japan's energy needs, and increased interest in alternative energies, which account for only 8 percent． Artist Yoko Ono has called on Japan to explore its natural energy, following the example of Iceland which uses renewable energy for more than 80 percent of its needs． For now, geothermal energy makes up less than 1 percent of the energy needs in Japan, which has for decades relied heavily on fossil fuels and atomic power． The biggest problem to geothermal energy is the high initial cost of the exploration and constructing the factories．Another problem is that Japan's potentially best sites are already being developed for tourism or are located within national parks where construction is forbidden． "We can't even dig 10cm inside national parks．" said Shigeto Yamada of Fuji Electric, adding that regulations protecting nature would need to be relaxed for geothermal energy to grow． Researcher Hideaki Matsui said, "Producing electricity using hot springs is a decades-long project．We also have to think about what to do for now as energy supplies will decline in the short term．" The Earth Policy Institute in Washington, US, believed Japan could produce 80,000 megawatts（兆瓦）and meet more than half its electricity needs with geothermal technology． Japanese giants such as Toshiba are already global leaders in geothermal technology, with a 70 percent market share．In 2010, Fuji Electric built the world's largest geothermal factory in New Zealand． 1.What would be the best title for the text? A．Alternative energies in Japan B．World's largest geothermal plant C．Japan takes the lead in geothermal technology D．Japan thinks of geothermal energy 2.What percentage of Japan's energy needs is geothermal energy? A．About 8%． B．Below 1%． C．Around 30%． D．Over 80%． 3.According to Shigeto Yamada, the growth of geothermal power in Japan needs ____． A．a change of rules B．financial support C．local people's help D．high technology 4.Geothermal energy is considered as a long-term program by _____． A．Yoshiyasu Takefuji B．Hideaki Matsui C．Shigeto Yamada D．Yoko Ono 5.It can be learned from the last two paragraphs that _____． A．the world's biggest geothermal plant was built by America B．Japan will not export its geothermal technology C．the potential of Japan's geothermal energy is great D．it is hard to find geothermal energy in Japan
