阅读下列短文,从每题所给的A、B、C、D四个选项中选出最佳选项。
A
Grandparents are known as great companions (陪伴) and often give their grandchildren lots of love. Being a grandparent is a big job, but grandparents have a lot of experience. In many cultures, grandparents are looked up to as a source of wisdom (智慧).
Some kids live far away from their grandparents so they stay in touch by phone through email, and with letters. Other kids live close to their grandparents, making it easy to visit often. And still other kids live with their grandparents.
Sometimes, the family is sharing the grandparents’ house and sometimes the grandparents move into the family’s house. Any change can be difficult to adjust (适应) to. But after the adjustment period, you might find you enjoy having someone else in the house and a new person to spend time with. If your grandparent needs help, you might be the one to lend a hand. And your grandparent might be able to help you by playing a game with you, telling the best stories or fixing you a snack after school.
Quite a few kids live with grandparents who take care of them in place of their parents. Kids who live with grandparents might miss their moms or dads and wish they could live with them instead. The grandparent may find it difficult to keep up with a kid and all of his or her needs. In this situation, both the kid and the grandparent should work together. Loving and caring for each other can be the glue that keeps everything together.
And one more thing: You might want to put the first Sunday after Labor Day on your calendar. Why? It’s Grandparent’s Day!
21. In many countries, grandparents ________.
A. look forward to having a job B. live far away from their grandchildren

C. grandparents find it too hard to live with their grandchildren
D. living together does good to grandparents and grandchildren
23. How can kids and their grandparents get along well with each other?
A. By sharing the best stories. B. By having common interests.
C. By meeting each other’s needs. D. By loving and looking after each other.

Living near bars and fast-food restaurants could be harmful to heart health, according to a new research. These kinds of ready-to-eat food environments typically provide unhealthy foods and drinks, and have been related to cardiovascular diseases, such as heart failure, said Lu Qi, a head researcher at Tulane University in New Orleans.
Heart failure is a condition in which the heart can’t get enough blood to meet the body’s needs. This study is likely the first to evaluate (评估) the connection between food environment and heart failure with long-term observation. “Most previous researches on the relation between nutrition (营养) and human health have been focused on food quality, neglecting the impact of food environment,” Qi said. “Our present study highlights the importance of accounting for food environment in nutrition researches.”
Researchers evaluated the connection using data from more than 500,000 adults in the United Kingdom. They measured participants’ exposure (接触 ) to three types of food environments — bars, restaurants and fast-food restaurants. Exposure was determined ‘ by proximity (living within 1 kilometer) and density (the number of ready-to-eat food stores within 1 kilometer).
The study documented nearly 13,000 heart failure cases during a 12-year follow-up period and the results showed that participants with 10 or more ready-to-eat stores near their homes had a 16% greater risk of heart failure than those with no ready-to-eat food environments. Those closest to the bars(less than 500 meters) had a 14% higher risk than those who lived the farthest away (more than 3,000 meters).
The researchers noted the findings suggested that creating healthier food environments and improving physical fitness facilities, along with helping more people receive higher levels of education, could reduce the increased risk of heart failure linked to quick-meal options.
Overall, the study stresses the importance of improving food environments to prevent heart failure, and the researchers note that more studies are needed, particularly evaluating nutrition unsafety, to make sure of the applicability of this study’s results.
25. What does the underlined word “neglecting” in paragraph 2 mean?
A. Questioning. B. Identifying. C. Considering. D. Ignoring.

C. By showing an argument. D. By describing a process.

C. Research results. D. People’s reactions.
28. Which of the following can be the best title for the text?
A. Ways Food Is Cooked Really Count
B. Single Food Choices Lead to Nutritional Imbalance
C. Ready-to-eat Food Surroundings Could Harm Heart Health
D. Fast Food Is Increasingly Entering the Consumption Market

I went shopping for a dress to wear to my daughter’s high school graduation half a year ago. To my horror, I could only fit into a size 20.
Being overweight most of my adult life, I always had very little self-confidence. Wearing a dress I didn’t like to such an important event was enough to make me look for help. Thankfully, a friend of mine was attending Weight Watchers meetings, and I noticed her great progress. Her success inspired me to give it a try. I joined Weight Watchers, attended their meetings and started following their Weight-Loss System.
I focused on the plan with determination and never missed a weekly meeting! I discovered that I enjoyed the benefits of having the help and support of others. I also read the weekly online e-newsletter and was inspired by the stories, recipes and information offered there, I also read magazines produced by Weight Watchers, which have great tips and new ideas in each issue.
It’s hard for me to even remember the person I was before my amazing change. I didn’t walk anywhere and couldn’t wash my car or walk my dog. Today I do these simple tasks without even thinking about them. But the change didn’t happen overnight. I had to exercise with patience and perseverance. I decided to take it one day at a time and stick with it for good.
The “new me” is more self-confident and healthier. I love how I feel now. I have more energy and feel like I’m 25 again. So why not give Weight Watchers a try if you have the same overweight problem?
29. The underlined word “inspired” in the second paragraph can be replaced by .
A. excited B. moved C. encouraged D. forced
30 We can learn from the passage that the writer .
A. often went shopping before she lost weight B. was overweight when she was a child
C. ever wanted to give up losing weight D. now is more confident than before
31. This passage is written to .
A. tell us how to gain self-confidence
B. show off the great progress that the author has made
C. give us some tips on how to lose weight quickly
D. advise overweight people to give Weight Watchers a try
32. Which of the following word will you use to describe the writer?
A. Weak. B. Calm. C. Patient. D. Silent.
D
Many people go to school for an education. They learn languages, history, geography, physics, chemistry and mathematics. Others go to school to learn a skill so that they can make a living. School education is very important and useful. Yet no one can learn everything they want to know. The teacher’s job is to show his students how to learn. He teaches them how to read and how to think. So, much more is to be learned outside school by the students themselves.
It is always more important to know how to study by oneself than to memorize some facts or a formula (公式). It is usually quite easy to learn a certain fact in history or a formula in mathematics. But it is very difficult to use a formula in working out a maths problem. Great scientists, such as Einstein, Newton and Galileo didn’t get anything from school. But they were all so successful. They invented so many things for mankind.
The reason for their success is that they knew how to study. They read books that were not taught at school. They worked hard all their lives, wasting not a single moment. They would ask many questions as they read and they did thousands of experiments.
Above all, they knew how to use their brains.
33 Many people go to school for an education. But some others go to school for .

34. A teacher’s job is mainly to train his students to master the ability of .
A. learning by themselves B. making a living
C. reading and thinking D. studying all the subjects
35. Using a formula in working out a maths problem is memorizing it.
A. much easier than B. more difficult than

36. The scientists were successful because .
A. they read books that were not taught at school B. they worked all their lives

From the first week of high school, my best friend, Tina, was always going out with the popular girls. At first I thought, “It’s okay, she’s just making new friends. But soon I realized that Tina wasn’t interested in me anymore. I’d lost my best friend. It really hurt me.
One day, I told Tina that we should stop pretending to be friends when we really weren’t anymore. I wasn’t trying to make her mad, but she was. After that, Tina started talking about me behind my back, telling people that I was bad. Some of our friends were on her side. I felt like she was taking them away from me.
The more I thought about it, the angrier I got. Finally, I took up a picture of Tina and drew lines on her face. I wrote “I hate this person” across the bottom. And then I did something I’ll always regret: I put it on a website which I thought was popular. I thought people would see it, and it felt good to work off the anger. A week later, Tina’s mom saw the picture. She called my mom, who made me take it off the website right away. However, it was already too late. Lots of people had seen it, and I was in a lot of trouble. That whole day, I felt terrible. I had to say sorry to Tina face to face. She said she accepted my apology, but I felt she was still angry with me.
Posting that picture was one of the worst decisions I had ever made.
__________________________________________________________________________________________
Without any delay (耽搁), I posted a letter.

Some kids live far away from their grandparents so they stay in touch by phone, through email, and with letters. Other kids live close to their grandparents, making it easy to visit often. And still other kids live with their grandparents.
Sometimes, the family is sharing the grandparents’ house and sometimes the grandparents move into the family’s house. Any change can be difficult to adjust (适应) to. But after the adjustment period, you might find you enjoy having someone else in the house and a new person to spend time with. If your grandparent needs help, you might be the one to lend a hand. And your grandparent might be able to help you by playing a game with you, telling the best stories or fixing you a snack after school.
Quite a few kids live with grandparents who take care of them in place of their parents. Kids who live with grandparents might miss their moms or dads and wish they could live with them instead. The grandparent may find it difficult to keep up with a kid and all of his or her needs. In this situation, both the kid and the grandparent should work together. Loving and caring for each other can be the glue that keeps everything together.
And one more thing: You might want to put the first Sunday after Labor Day on your calendar. Why? It’s Grandparent’s Day!

Living near bars and fast-food restaurants could be harmful to heart health, according to a new research. These kinds of ready-to-eat food environments typically provide unhealthy foods and drinks, and have been related to cardiovascular diseases, such as heart failure, said Lu Qi, a head researcher at Tulane University in New Orleans.
Heart failure is a condition in which the heart can’t get enough blood to meet the body’s needs. This study is likely the first to evaluate (评估) the connection between food environment and heart failure with long-term observation. “Most previous researches on the relation between nutrition (营养) and human health have been focused on food quality, neglecting the impact of food environment,” Qi said. “Our present study highlights the importance of accounting for food environment in nutrition researches.”
Researchers evaluated the connection using data from more than 500,000 adults in the United Kingdom. They measured participants’ exposure (接触 ) to three types of food environments — bars, restaurants and fast-food restaurants. Exposure was determined ‘ by proximity (living within 1 kilometer) and density (the number of ready-to-eat food stores within 1 kilometer).
The study documented nearly 13,000 heart failure cases during a 12-year follow-up period and the results showed that participants with 10 or more ready-to-eat stores near their homes had a 16% greater risk of heart failure than those with no ready-to-eat food environments. Those closest to the bars(less than 500 meters) had a 14% higher risk than those who lived the farthest away (more than 3,000 meters).
The researchers noted the findings suggested that creating healthier food environments and improving physical fitness facilities, along with helping more people receive higher levels of education, could reduce the increased risk of heart failure linked to quick-meal options.
Overall, the study stresses the importance of improving food environments to prevent heart failure, and the researchers note that more studies are needed, particularly evaluating nutrition unsafety, to make sure of the applicability of this study’s results.

27. What is presented in paragraph 5?

C. Research results. D. People’s reactions.
28. Which of the following can be the best title for the text?

【25题详解】
词句猜测题。 由文章第二段中“Most previous researches on the relation between nutrition (营养) and human health have been focused on food quality (以前关于营养和人类健康关系的大多数研究都集中在食品质量上)”和“the impact of food environment (食物环境的影响)”可知,以前关于营养和人类健康关系的大多数研究都集中在食品质量上,此处应该表示“忽视了食品环境的影响”,neglecting意为“忽视”。A. Questioning提问;B. Identifying识别;C. Considering考虑;D. Ignoring忽略,忽视。故选D。
【26题详解】
推理判断题。 由文章第四段“The study documented nearly 13,000 heart failure cases during a 12-year follow-up period and the results showed that participants with 10 or more ready-to-eat stores near their homes had a 16% greater risk of heart failure than those with no ready-to-eat food environments. Those closest to the bars(less than 500 meters) had a 14% higher risk than those who lived the farthest away (more than 3,000 meters). (这项研究在12年的随访期间记录了近13000例心力衰竭病例,结果显示,在家附近有10家或更多即食食品商店的参与者患心力衰竭的风险比没有即食食品环境的参与者高16%。离酒吧最近(不到500米)的人比住得最远(超过3000米)的人患癌症的风险高14%。)”可知,研究人员通过比较不同参与者与不同类型食物环境的接近程度和密度来得出研究发现,这表明研究方法是通过对比来进行的。故选A。
【27题详解】
主旨大意题。 由文章第五段“The researchers noted the findings suggested that creating healthier food environments and improving physical fitness facilities, along with helping more people receive higher levels of education, could reduce the increased risk of heart failure linked to quick-meal options. (研究人员指出,研究结果表明,创造更健康的饮食环境,改善健身设施,以及帮助更多的人接受更高水平的教育,可以降低与快餐选择相关的心力衰竭风险。)”可知,第五段主要提出了可能的解决策略,包括改善食物环境、提升体育设施条件以及帮助更多人接受更高级别的教育。故选B。
【28题详解】
主旨大意题。 通读全文,尤其是根据文章第一段“Living near bars and fast-food restaurants could be harmful to heart health, according to a new research. These kinds of ready-to-eat food environments typically provide unhealthy foods and drinks, and have been related to cardiovascular diseases, such as heart failure, said Lu Qi, a head researcher at Tulane University in New Orleans. (一项新研究表明,住在酒吧和快餐店附近可能对心脏健康有害。新奥尔良杜兰大学首席研究员陆奇说,这种即食食品环境通常提供不健康的食品和饮料,并与心力衰竭等心血管疾病有关。)”可知,文章主要介绍了居住在酒吧和快餐店附近可能对心脏健康有害的研究发现,强调了食物环境对心血管疾病如心力衰竭的影响。因此,最能概括全文的标题是C项“Ready-to-eat Food Surroundings Could Harm Heart Health (即食食品环境可能损害心脏健康)”。故选C。

I went shopping for a dress to wear to my daughter’s high school graduation half a year ago. To my horror, I could only fit into a size 20.
Being overweight most of my adult life, I always had very little self-confidence. Wearing a dress I didn’t like to such an important event was enough to make me look for help. Thankfully, a friend of mine was attending Weight Watchers meetings, and I noticed her great progress. Her success inspired me to give it a try. I joined Weight Watchers, attended their meetings and started following their Weight-Loss System.
I focused on the plan with determination and never missed a weekly meeting! I discovered that I enjoyed the benefits of having the help and support of others. I also read the weekly online e-newsletter and was inspired by the stories, recipes and information offered there, I also read magazines produced by Weight Watchers, which have great tips and new ideas in each issue.
It’s hard for me to even remember the person I was before my amazing change. I didn’t walk anywhere and couldn’t wash my car or walk my dog. Today I do these simple tasks without even thinking about them. But the change didn’t happen overnight. I had to exercise with patience and perseverance. I decided to take it one day at a time and stick with it for good.
The “new me” is more self-confident and healthier. I love how I feel now. I have more energy and feel like I’m 25 again. So why not give Weight Watchers a try if you have the same overweight problem?

Many people go to school for an education. They learn languages, history, geography, physics, chemistry and mathematics. Others go to school to learn a skill so that they can make a living. School education is very important and useful. Yet no one can learn everything they want to know. The teacher’s job is to show his students how to learn. He teaches them how to read and how to think. So, much more is to be learned outside school by the students themselves.
It is always more important to know how to study by oneself than to memorize some facts or a formula (公式). It is usually quite easy to learn a certain fact in history or a formula in mathematics. But it is very difficult to use a formula in working out a maths problem. Great scientists, such as Einstein, Newton and Galileo didn’t get anything from school. But they were all so successful. They invented so many things for mankind.
The reason for their success is that they knew how to study. They read books that were not taught at school. They worked hard all their lives, wasting not a single moment. They would ask many questions as they read and they did thousands of experiments.
Above all, they knew how to use their brains.
33. Many people go to school for an education. But some others go to school for .
A. enjoying themselves B. learning subjects
C. learning a skill D. making a living
34. A teacher’s job is mainly to train his students to master the ability of .
A. learning by themselves B. making a living

【导语】这是一篇议论文。当我们选择朋友的时候,我们会考虑年龄、种族、经济状况、社会地位和智力等因素,不过,共同的经历和情感能够创造强大的纽带,能够克服背景的差异,打破年龄、阶级和种族障碍。
【57题详解】
考查冠词。句意:朋友在我们的生活中扮演着重要的角色。分析句子可知,这里表示“一个重要的角色”,所以应用不定冠词表泛指,且important为元音因素开始的单词。故填an。
【58题详解】
考查宾语从句。句意:虽然我们可能认为友谊是理所当然的,但我们往往不清楚如何交朋友。这里考查宾语从句,由句意可知,应用连接副词how,表“怎么”。故填how。
【59题详解】
考查副词。句意:虽然我们和很多人相处得很好,但我们通常只和少数人做朋友——例如,每个学生通常有大约6个朋友。此空应用副词作状语,修饰前面动词。故填well。
【60题详解】
考查时态。句意:虽然我们和很多人相处得很好,但我们通常只和少数人做朋友——例如,每个学生通常有大约6个朋友。此空应填谓语动词,主语per student,为第三人称单数,与have为主动关系,且由usually可知,这里时态应用一般现在时。故填has。
【61题详解】
考查非谓语。句意:在所有的友好关系中,两个人彼此喜欢,喜欢在一起。这里考查enjoy doing,表“喜欢做”,为固定搭配。故填being。
【62题详解】
考查介词。句意:事实上,当我们了解别人时,我们会考虑年龄、种族、经济状况、社会地位和智力等因素。这里考查in fact,表“事实上”,为固定搭配,且句首时首字母应大写。故填In。
【63题详解】
考查名词。句意:虽然这些事情并不重要,但当年龄和背景存在明显差异时,与人相处会更加困难。分析句子可知,介词of后应用名词作宾语。故填importance。
【64题详解】
考查代词。句意:虽然这些事情并不重要,但当年龄和背景存在明显差异时,与人相处会更加困难。分析句子可知,此空应填it作形式主语,逻辑主语为后面不定式。故填it。
【65题详解】
考查动词。句意:与婚姻相比,没有友谊仪式来加强两个人之间的联系。分析句子可知,此空应填动词原形,与前面to构成不定式,strengthen,表“加强”,为动词,符合句意。故填strengthen。
【66题详解】
考查定语从句。句意:但是,共同经历和情感产生的相互理解似乎确实创造了一种强大的纽带,可以克服背景差异,打破年龄、阶级和种族的障碍。这里考查非限制性定语从句,先行词a powerful bond,为物,在从句中作主语,所以应用关系代词which。故填which。

68. 阅读下面材料,根据其内容和所给段落开头语续写下文,使之构成一篇完整的短文。续写的词数应为150左右。
From the first week of high school, my best friend, Tina, was always going out with the popular girls. At first I thought, “It’s okay, she’s just making new friends. But soon I realized that Tina wasn’t interested in me anymore. I’d lost my best friend. It really hurt me.
One day, I told Tina that we should stop pretending to be friends when we really weren’t anymore. I wasn’t trying to make her mad, but she was. After that, Tina started talking about me behind my back, telling people that I was bad. Some of our friends were on her side. I felt like she was taking them away from me.
The more I thought about it, the angrier I got. Finally, I took up a picture of Tina and drew lines on her face. I wrote “I hate this person” across the bottom. And then I did something I’ll always regret: I put it on a website which I thought was popular. I thought people would see it, and it felt good to work off the anger. A week later, Tina’s mom saw the picture. She called my mom, who made me take it off the website right away. However, it was already too late. Lots of people had seen it, and I was in a lot of trouble. That whole day, I felt terrible. I had to say sorry to Tina face to face. She said she accepted my apology, but I felt she was still angry with me.
Posting that picture was one of the worst decisions I had ever made.
__________________________________________________________________________________________
Without any delay (耽搁), I posted a letter.
__________________________________________________________________________________________
【答案】 Posting that picture was one of the worst decisions I’ve ever made. I felt it was the end of the world. I feared I would lose my best friend forever so that I lay awake late the night, with some happy times we had spent together flashing in my mind. I came to realize I could have found a much better way to deal with my feelings. If I’d just told Tina how much I valued her, maybe things would have turned out different.
Without any delay, I posted a letter. I apologized to Tina sincerely for what hurt I did to my friend in the letter, in which a photo of both of us singing happily on the last New Year Party was also contained in order to save the valuable friendship. Soon, my letter worked and we became best fiends again.
