How to Drop a Pant Size in a Week
Dropping one pant size in seven days is a difficult task, but with dedication, exercise and the right diet, you can make it happen.
Increase your water consumption. Thirst is often misinterpreted as hunger, and if you are drinking the right amount of water, you will find it much easier to avoid snacking. Look to drink at around eight or nine glasses of water every day.
Lower your calorie count. You can use a calorie calculator to determine how much you need to take in to maintain or lose weight If you take in fewer calories than you burn each day, you will lose weight as a result. As a rule, an average-sized woman needs to take in less than 1.300 calories per day for extreme weight loss, as you’ll naturally burn around 2,000. Exact measurements differ based on age, height, weight and activity level.
Cut the junk food. Chips, soda and candy seem harmless if taken as snacks, but can seriously affect your weight loss, Limit yourself to one or two snacks per day and switch your usual snack foods for baby carrots, apples and grapes.
Break up your meals. If you want to lose weight, try eating four or five small meals per day instead of two or three large ones. This makes it easier for your body to process what you are consuming. Divide your required calories by the number of meals you’ll be eating to determine how large each meal should be Space your meals out two or three hours apart—try meals at breakfast, mid-morning, lunch, afternoon and dinner.
Doing intense aerobic (需氧) exercise. You have to encourage your body to bum calories if you want to drop pounds and inches. Running is by far the fastest calorie burner, with the potential for 986 calories per hour. If you’re unable to run, use an elliptical machine (椭圆机), jump rope, or participate in a high-impact aerobics class.
41. When you are thirsty, you may mistake it as a sign ________.
A. to drink something B. to eat something
C. to sleep for a while D. to do some exercise
42. If you want to lose weight, you need to ________.
A. burn fewer calories B. eat as much as usual
C. eat less than you burn D. measure your weight first
43. Of the following, which might be beneficial for losing weight?
A. Fruits. B. Hamburgers.
C. Steak. D. Ice cream.

Getting rid of dirt, in the opinion of most people, is a good thing. However, there is nothing fixed about attitudes to dirt.
In the early 16th century, people thought that dirt on the skin was a means to block out disease, as medical opinion had it that washing off dirt with hot water could open up the skin and let ills in. A particular danger was thought to lie in public baths. By 1538, the French king had closed the bath houses in his kingdom. So did the king of England in 1546. Thus it began a long time when the rich and the poor in Europe lived with dirt in a friendly way. Henry IV, King of France, was famously dirty. Upon learning that a nobleman had taken a bath, the king ordered that, to avoid the attack of disease, the nobleman should not go out.
Though the belief in the merit of dirt was long-lived, dirt has no longer been regarded as a nice neighbor ever since the 18th century. Scientifically speaking, cleaning away dirt is good to health. Clean water supply and hand washing are practical means of preventing disease. Yet, it seems that standards of cleanliness have moved beyond science since World War II. Advertisements repeatedly sell the idea; clothes need to be whiter than white, cloths ever softer, surfaces to shine. Has the hate for dirt, however, gone too far?
Attitudes to dirt still differ hugely nowadays. Many first-time parents nervously try to warn their children of touching dirt, which might be responsible for the spread of disease. On the contrary, Mary Ruebush, an American immunologist(免疫学家), encourages children to play in the dirt to build up a strong immune system. And the latter position is gaining some ground.
46. The kings of France and England in the 16th century closed bath houses because________.
A. they lived healthily in a dirty environment.
B. they thought bath houses were too dirty to stay in
C. they believed disease could be spread in public baths
D. they considered bathing as the cause of skin disease
47. Which of the following best describes Henry IV’s attitude to bathing?
A. Afraid B. Curious C. Approving D. Uninterested
48. What does the underlined word “merit” in paragraph 3 mean?
A. effect B. advantage C. damage D. attitude
49. How does the passage mainly develop?
A. By providing examples. B. By making comparisons.
C. By following the order of time. D. By following the order of importance.
50. What is the author’s purpose in writing the passage?
A. To stress the role of dirt.
B. To introduce the history of dirt.
C. To call attention to the danger of dirt.
D. To present the change of views on dirt.
【答案】46. C 47. A 48. B 49. C 50. D
【解析】
【导语】这是一篇议论文。本文主要讲述的是在历史的发展过程中,人们对于灰尘的看法在不停的发生变化。
【46题详解】
细节理解题。根据文章第二段“as medical opinion had it that washing off dirt with hot water could open up the skin and let ills in. A particular danger was thought to lie in public baths.(医学观点认为,用热水洗去污垢会打开皮肤,让疾病进入。人们认为公共澡堂里的危险特别大)”可知,16世纪的法国和英国国王关闭了澡堂,因为他们认为疾病会在公共澡堂传播。故选C。
【47题详解】
推理判断题。根据文章第二段“Henry IV, King of France, was famously dirty. Upon learning that a nobleman had taken a bath, the king ordered that, to avoid the attack of disease, the nobleman should not go out.(法国国王亨利四世的脏是出名的。听说一个贵族洗了澡,国王下令,为了避免疾病的侵袭,贵族不能外出)”可知,Henry IV对洗澡的态度是害怕的。故选A。

【49题详解】
推理判断题。根据文章第二段“In the early 16th century(在16世纪早期)”、“By 1538, the French king had closed the bath houses in his kingdom. So did the king of England in 1546.(到1538年,法国国王关闭了他王国的浴室。1546年的英格兰国王也是如此)”以及文章第三段“Though the belief in the merit of dirt was long-lived, dirt has no longer been regarded as a nice neighbor ever since the 18th century.(尽管对污垢有益的信仰由来已久,但从18世纪开始,污垢就不再被视为好邻居)”和最后一段“Attitudes to dirt still differ hugely nowadays.(如今,人们对污垢的态度仍然大相径庭)”可知,文章是按照时间顺序来组织全文的。故选C。
【50题详解】
推理判断题。根据文章第一段“Getting rid of dirt, in the opinion of most people, is a good thing. However, there is nothing fixed about attitudes to dirt.( 在大多数人看来,清除污垢是一件好事。然而,人们对泥土的态度并不是一成不变的)”可知,文章主要是为了呈现对污垢看法的变化。故选D。

People in business often make decisions based on their own personal feelings or instincts. It is quite horrifying to see people being guided by some unknown force. But how wise is it, really, to let your instincts drive your decisions?
In the decision-making process, relying on instincts only makes sense when you have a vast experience to support you. Simply “feeling” that something is right or should be done is highly subjective and can drown you.
On the other hand, there is a more rational (理性) approach to making decisions. Data and analysis have long been associated with informed decisions. These reduce the likelihood (可能性) of errors and increase the chances of success. Big, systematic data is mostly the foundation of most of our decisions, personal and business alike. But with its extreme usability comes a complication: what do you do if you strongly feel something should not be done, even if the data insists that it should?
This seemingly easy question is what drives the need to understand the relationship between instincts and data in the decision-making process. Without making things complicated, the solution to this dilemma is using data and instincts in conjunction to arrive at the best possible decisions.
Instinctive decisions are always backed by previous experiences or information, which acknowledges that instinctive decisions have worked in the past. Decisions are not about making the choice and braving the consequences because you want to blindly trust your instincts. They are about combining your inner wisdom with the knowledge of systematic data to make the best decisions.
Sometimes, rational analysis and data are impractical to be employed in certain situations. Absence of definitive criteria, and time and resource constraints, and novel situations are instances which limit the practicality of data. The only possible option is to rely on what your instincts tell you. In these situations, instincts can help you make effective and quick decisions.
Combining instinctive and rational analysis produces well-rounded decisions. It reduces the chances of making mistakes, and has increasingly become a favorite approach to decision-making among leaders of today.
51. What does the author say business people often do?
A. Strive to make sense of some unknown forces.
B. Avoid being driven by their own feelings.
C. Draw on a vast wealth of past experience.
D. Rely on instincts in decision-making.
52. What should we take into account in order to make informed decisions?
A. The likelihood of errors. B. Systematic data and analysis.
C. The complexity of circumstances. D. Personal feelings and business strategies.
53. What should people do in a decision-making process if instincts disagree with data?
A. Resolve the dilemma with previous experience.
B. Figure out which of the two is more reliable.
C. Combine the two together.
D. Prioritize instincts over data.
54. What should we do when facing various factors that limit the practicality of data?
A. Make a rational and systematic analysis. B. Explore the most feasible options.
C. Resort to our inner wisdom. D. Apply definitive criteria.
55. What does it take for decisions to become the best according to the author?
A. Applying instincts and data in conjunction.
B. Assessing all factors when making a choice.
C. Recalling what has actually worked in the past.
D. Refraining from trusting instincts randomly.
【答案】51. D 52. B 53. C 54. C 55. A

Big, systematic data is mostly the foundation of most of our decisions, personal and business alike.(数据和分析长期以来都与明智的决策相关。它们可以减少出错的可能性并增加成功的机会。大量、系统的数据大多是我们大多数决策的基础,无论是个人决策还是商业决策)”可知,为了做出明智的决策,我们应该考虑系统的数据和分析。故选B项。
【53题详解】
细节理解题。根据第四段中“Without making things complicated, the solution to this dilemma is using data and instincts in conjunction to arrive at the best possible decisions.(不把事情复杂化,解决这个困境的办法是结合使用数据和直觉,以做出尽可能好的决策)”可知,当直觉和数据不一致时,人们应该将两者结合起来。故选C项。
【54题详解】
细节理解题。根据第六段中“Sometimes, rational analysis and data are impractical to be employed in certain situations. Absence of definitive criteria, and time and resource constraints, and novel situations are instances which limit the practicality of data. The only possible option is to rely on what your instincts tell you.(有时,在某些情况下,理性分析和数据是不实用的。缺乏明确的标准、时间和资源的限制以及新情况都是限制数据实用性的例子。唯一可能的选择是依靠你的直觉告诉你的)”可知,当面临各种限制数据实用性的因素时,我们应该依靠我们内心的智慧(即直觉)。故选C项。
【55题详解】
推理判断题。根据第四段中“Without making things complicated, the solution to this dilemma is using data and instincts in conjunction to arrive at the best possible decisions.(不把事情复杂化,解决这个困境的办法是结合使用数据和直觉,以做出尽可能好的决策)”以及最后一段“Combining instinctive and rational analysis produces well rounded decisions. It reduces the chances of making mistakes, and has increasingly become a favorite approach to decision making among leaders of today.(将直觉和理性分析相结合能做出全面的决策。它减少了犯错的机会,并且越来越成为当今领导者们最喜欢的决策方式)”可知,作者认为将直觉和数据结合起来应用能使决策成为最佳决策。故选A项。

阅读下面短文,并根据短文内容完成下列各题。
When an editor wrote to offer me the task of writing a famous artist’s authorized biography, I was surprised. I replied, “Me? Are you sure you have the right writer?” But that’s just what I was thinking. At that point in my career, although I had written many magazine articles, I had just a few small books to my name — children’s comic books, mostly.
So I asked why she chose me. “Due to your warmth” the editor said. Besides, the editor thought my writing style would be a good fit for that artist. Finally, I accepted the writing task. I told my friend about it and she warned me, “Just understand that celebrities will often not treat others well. They all just seem nice on television, but they’ll treat you like nothing but a servant to them.”
Her words made me quite uncertain and anxious. “What if the artist ignores me? Can I finish the writing task? Should I give up?” I thought to myself. Anyway, days later I boarded the plane to the artist’s city to meet her, still overwhelmed with uncertainty and anxiety. However, these feelings melted into thin air within minutes after meeting her. My friend was wrong; this artist was an absolute sweetheart, who was humble, down-to-earth, funny and caring.
She shared cookies with me. She sat on the floor with me and we chatted into the middle of the night like we were old schoolmates. During the following days, she told me a lot about her life, work, dream, etc. And I managed to have a good knowledge of her. When I finished the book, the artist’s husband called to tell me how well I had captured her and that he felt very emotional and proud after reading the book. Hearing it, I was thrilled.
Since then, I’ve realized the importance of self-belief and courage to face the unknown. Otherwise, I may pass up a good opportunity in life. Now I’ve met many fascinating people and written many fascinating stories.
56. Why was the author surprised when she was offered the writing task? (no more than 12 words)
___________________________________________________________________________________________
57. What made the editor choose the author for the task according to Paragraph 2?(no more than 8 words)
___________________________________________________________________________________________
58. What does the underlined part in Paragraph 3 probably mean?(1 word)
___________________________________________________________________________________________
59. According to Paragraph 4, what made the author feel very excited after getting a call? (no more than 6 words)
___________________________________________________________________________________________
60. How are you inspired by the author’s story? Please explain.(no more than 20 words)
___________________________________________________________________________________________
【答案】56. (Because) she had just a few small books to her name.
57. The author’s warmth and her writing style.
58. Disappeared./Vanished.
59. The praise/response/feedback from the artist’s husband.
60. We should believe in ourselves and needn’t be afraid of any uncertainty.
【解析】
【导语】这是一篇夹叙夹议文。文章主要讲述了作者被一位编辑选中去写一位著名艺术家的授权传记,起初作者因为自己的经验不足而感到惊讶和焦虑,但在与艺术家见面后发现她非常亲切,最终作者成功完成了传记的写作,并从中意识到了自信和面对未知勇气的重要性。
【56题详解】
考查细节理解。根据文章第一段“At that point in my career, although I had written many magazine articles, I had just a few small books to my name — children’s comic books, mostly.(在我的职业生涯的那个阶段,虽然我写了很多杂志文章,但我只有几本小书——大多是儿童漫画书)”可知,作者惊讶的原因是因为她只有几本小书,即她的作品很少,所以她会对这个写作任务感到惊讶。故答案是:(Because) she had just a few small books to her name。
【57题详解】
考查细节理解。根据文章第二段““Due to your warmth” the editor said. Besides, the editor thought my writing style would be a good fit for that artist.(编辑说,“因为你的热情。”此外,编辑认为我的写作风格很适合那位艺术家)”可知,编辑选择作者是因为她的热情和写作风格,故答案是:The author’s warmth and her writing style。
【58题详解】
考查词句猜测。根据划线句“However, these feelings melted into thin air within minutes after meeting her. My friend was wrong; this artist was an absolute sweetheart, who was humble, down-to-earth, funny and caring.(然而,见到她几分钟后,这些感觉melted into thin air。我的朋友错了;这位艺术家是一个绝对的甜心,她谦虚,朴实,有趣又贴心)”可知,这位艺术家的形象和作者所担忧的艺术家不友好的形象完全不同,因此作者的不安和担忧都消失了。melt into thin air是一个固定短语,意思是“消失得无影无踪”,因此,这里可以用disappeared或vanished来概括其意思,这两个词都有“消失”的含义。故答案是:Disappeared/Vanished。
【59题详解】
考查细节理解。根据文章第四段“When I finished the book, the artist’s husband called to tell me how well I had captured her and that he felt very emotional and proud after reading the book. Hearing it, I was thrilled.(当我写完这本书时,艺术家的丈夫打电话告诉我,我把她刻画得多好,他读完这本书后感到非常感动和自豪。听到这些,我很激动)”可知,让作者感到非常兴奋的是艺术家丈夫的赞扬、回应或反馈,故答案是:The praise/ response/ feedback from the artist’s husband。
60题详解】
考查开放性题目。根据文章最后一段“Since then, I’ve realized the importance of self-belief and courage to face the unknown. Otherwise, I may pass up a good opportunity in life.(从那时起,我意识到了自信和面对未知的勇气的重要性。否则,我可能会错过生活中的一个好机会)”可知,作者的故事激励我们要相信自己,不要害怕任何不确定性,故答案是:We should believe in ourselves and needn’t be afraid of any uncertainty。

How to Drop a Pant Size in a Week
Dropping one pant size in seven days is a difficult task, but with dedication, exercise and the right diet, you can make it happen.
Increase your water consumption. Thirst is often misinterpreted as hunger, and if you are drinking the right amount of water, you will find it much easier to avoid snacking. Look to drink at around eight or nine glasses of water every day.
Lower your calorie count. You can use a calorie calculator to determine how much you need to take in to maintain or lose weight If you take in fewer calories than you burn each day, you will lose weight as a result. As a rule, an average-sized woman needs to take in less than 1.300 calories per day for extreme weight loss, as you’ll naturally burn around 2,000. Exact measurements differ based on age, height, weight and activity level.
Cut the junk food. Chips, soda and candy seem harmless if taken as snacks, but can seriously affect your weight loss, Limit yourself to one or two snacks per day and switch your usual snack foods for baby carrots, apples and grapes.
Break up your meals. If you want to lose weight, try eating four or five small meals per day instead of two or three large ones. This makes it easier for your body to process what you are consuming. Divide your required calories by the number of meals you’ll be eating to determine how large each meal should be Space your meals out two or three hours apart—try meals at breakfast, mid-morning, lunch, afternoon and dinner.
Doing intense aerobic (需氧的) exercise. You have to encourage your body to bum calories if you want to drop pounds and inches. Running is by far the fastest calorie burner, with the potential for 986 calories per hour. If you’re unable to run, use an elliptical machine (椭圆机), jump rope, or participate in a high-impact aerobics class.
41. When you are thirsty, you may mistake it as a sign ________.
A. to drink something B. to eat something
C. to sleep for a while D. to do some exercise
42. If you want to lose weight, you need to ________.
A. burn fewer calories B. eat as much as usual
C. eat less than you burn D. measure your weight first
43. Of the following, which might be beneficial for losing weight?
A. Fruits. B. Hamburgers.
C. Steak. D. Ice cream.
44. Why are you advised to eat four or five small meals each day?

Getting rid of dirt, in the opinion of most people, is a good thing. However, there is nothing fixed about attitudes to dirt.
In the early 16th century, people thought that dirt on the skin was a means to block out disease, as medical opinion had it that washing off dirt with hot water could open up the skin and let ills in. A particular danger was thought to lie in public baths. By 1538, the French king had closed the bath houses in his kingdom. So did the king of England in 1546. Thus it began a long time when the rich and the poor in Europe lived with dirt in a friendly way. Henry IV, King of France, was famously dirty. Upon learning that a nobleman had taken a bath, the king ordered that, to avoid the attack of disease, the nobleman should not go out.
Though the belief in the merit of dirt was long-lived, dirt has no longer been regarded as a nice neighbor ever since the 18th century. Scientifically speaking, cleaning away dirt is good to health. Clean water supply and hand washing are practical means of preventing disease. Yet, it seems that standards of cleanliness have moved beyond science since World War II. Advertisements repeatedly sell the idea; clothes need to be whiter than white, cloths ever softer, surfaces to shine. Has the hate for dirt, however, gone too far?
Attitudes to dirt still differ hugely nowadays. Many first-time parents nervously try to warn their children of touching dirt, which might be responsible for the spread of disease. On the contrary, Mary Ruebush, an American immunologist(免疫学家), encourages children to play in the dirt to build up a strong immune system. And the latter position is gaining some ground.
46. The kings of France and England in the 16th century closed bath houses because________.
A. they lived healthily in a dirty environment.
B. they thought bath houses were too dirty to stay in
C. they believed disease could be spread in public baths
D. they considered bathing as the cause of skin disease
47. Which of the following best describes Henry IV’s attitude to bathing?
A. Afraid B. Curious C. Approving D. Uninterested
48. What does the underlined word “merit” in paragraph 3 mean?
A. effect B. advantage C. damage D. attitude
49. How does the passage mainly develop?
A. By providing examples. B. By making comparisons.
C By following the order of time. D. By following the order of importance.
50. What is the author’s purpose in writing the passage?
A. To stress the role of dirt.
B. To introduce the history of dirt.
C. To call attention to the danger of dirt.
D. To present the change of views on dirt.

People in business often make decisions based on their own personal feelings or instincts. It is quite horrifying to see people being guided by some unknown force. But how wise is it, really, to let your instincts drive your decisions?
In the decision-making process, relying on instincts only makes sense when you have a vast experience to support you. Simply “feeling” that something is right or should be done is highly subjective and can drown you.
On the other hand, there is a more rational (理性) approach to making decisions. Data and analysis have long been associated with informed decisions. These reduce the likelihood (可能性) of errors and increase the chances of success. Big, systematic data is mostly the foundation of most of our decisions, personal and business alike. But with its extreme usability comes a complication: what do you do if you strongly feel something should not be done, even if the data insists that it should?
This seemingly easy question is what drives the need to understand the relationship between instincts and data in the decision-making process. Without making things complicated, the solution to this dilemma is using data and instincts in conjunction to arrive at the best possible decisions.
Instinctive decisions are always backed by previous experiences or information, which acknowledges that instinctive decisions have worked in the past. Decisions are not about making the choice and braving the consequences because you want to blindly trust your instincts. They are about combining your inner wisdom with the knowledge of systematic data to make the best decisions.
Sometimes, rational analysis and data are impractical to be employed in certain situations. Absence of definitive criteria, and time and resource constraints, and novel situations are instances which limit the practicality of data. The only possible option is to rely on what your instincts tell you. In these situations, instincts can help you make effective and quick decisions.
Combining instinctive and rational analysis produces well-rounded decisions. It reduces the chances of making mistakes, and has increasingly become a favorite approach to decision-making among leaders of today.
51. What does the author say business people often do?
A. Strive to make sense of some unknown forces.
B. Avoid being driven by their own feelings.
C. Draw on a vast wealth of past experience.
D. Rely on instincts in decision-making.
52. What should we take into account in order to make informed decisions?
A. The likelihood of errors. B. Systematic data and analysis.
C. The complexity of circumstances. D. Personal feelings and business strategies.
53. What should people do in a decision-making process if instincts disagree with data?
A. Resolve the dilemma with previous experience.
B Figure out which of the two is more reliable.
C. Combine the two together.
D. Prioritize instincts over data.
54. What should we do when facing various factors that limit the practicality of data?
A. Make a rational and systematic analysis. B. Explore the most feasible options.
C. Resort to our inner wisdom. D. Apply definitive criteria.
55. What does it take for decisions to become the best according to the author?
A. Applying instincts and data in conjunction.
B. Assessing all factors when making a choice.
C. Recalling what has actually worked in the past.
D. Refraining from trusting instincts randomly.

阅读下面短文,并根据短文内容完成下列各题。
When an editor wrote to offer me the task of writing a famous artist’s authorized biography, I was surprised. I replied, “Me? Are you sure you have the right writer?” But that’s just what I was thinking. At that point in my career, although I had written many magazine articles, I had just a few small books to my name — children’s comic books, mostly.
So I asked why she chose me. “Due to your warmth” the editor said. Besides, the editor thought my writing style would be a good fit for that artist. Finally, I accepted the writing task. I told my friend about it and she warned me, “Just understand that celebrities will often not treat others well. They all just seem nice on television, but they’ll treat you like nothing but a servant to them.”
Her words made me quite uncertain and anxious. “What if the artist ignores me? Can I finish the writing task? Should I give up?” I thought to myself. Anyway, days later I boarded the plane to the artist’s city to meet her, still overwhelmed with uncertainty and anxiety. However, these feelings melted into thin air within minutes after meeting her. My friend was wrong; this artist was an absolute sweetheart, who was humble, down-to-earth, funny and caring.
She shared cookies with me. She sat on the floor with me and we chatted into the middle of the night like we were old schoolmates. During the following days, she told me a lot about her life, work, dream, etc. And I managed to have a good knowledge of her. When I finished the book, the artist’s husband called to tell me how well I had captured her and that he felt very emotional and proud after reading the book. Hearing it, I was thrilled.
Since then, I’ve realized the importance of self-belief and courage to face the unknown. Otherwise, I may pass up a good opportunity in life. Now I’ve met many fascinating people and written many fascinating stories.
