【題目】Answer the questions（根據(jù)以下內(nèi)容回答問題）

Mary Donaldson is worried about her 16-year-old daughter, Sophia. Six months ago, Sophia came back from a party, upset and unhappy. From then on, she thought of nothing but how to lose weight and become beautiful. She refused to eat and kept on doing exercise. Sophia had always been a little heavy, so when she decided to go on a diet, Mary encouraged her. She felt that her daughter would look more attractive if she lost 10 kilograms. However, Sophia has lost 20 kilograms until now. Her eating and exercising habits are having a harmful effect on her health. She is too thin and is often sick.

Her mother is trying to prevent her from going on a diet and losing weight, but Sophia thinks that she is still too heavy and refuses to eat as usual. Sophia’s mind is full of the idea of looking like a model（模特）. Every day she goes to a club to do exercise. When she is not there, she spends her time reading magazines like “Fashion & Beauty”（《時(shí)尚與美》）. The models in these magazines are very thin and beautiful. Sophia says, “If I look like models, I will be happy and all the boys will like me.”

Mary doesn’t know how to help her daughter. She feels sorry for having encouraged her at first, because Sophia no longer feels good or pleased with her body. She’s afraid that Sophia will never be happy if she keeps comparing herself with the models in the magazines. Mary tries to tell Sophia that true beauty comes from within. Common people are not supposed to look like models. The most ordinary face becomes beautiful when the person is filled with confidence, wisdom and the joy of life.

【1】When did Sophia decide to lose weight?

【2】Besides doing exercise, what else did Sophia do to lose weight?

【3】How much weight has Sophia lost until now?

【4】Does Sophia eat as usual after she has lost some weight?

【5】Why does she spend much time reading the magazine “Fashion & Beauty ”?

【6】Do you think Sophia really understands the meaning of the true beauty? Why?

【答案】

【1】Six months ago. / When she came back from a party.

【2】Sophia decided to go on a diet/ refused to eat.

【3】She has lost 20 kilograms until now.

【4】No, she doesn’t.

【5】Because she wants to be beautiful as the models./ she thinks the models are the most beautiful./ she keeps comparing herself with the models in the magazines. / she thinks all the boys will like her if she looks like the models. (如寫She wants to be a model.不得分)

【6】No, I don’t think so. She thinks only outer beauty is the most beautiful. In fact she is wrong. True beauty comes from within. For example, when a person is honest or works hard, she/he is the most beautiful./ I think when the person is filled with confidence, wisdom and the joy of life, she/he is really beautiful.

【解析】

文章主要講述了瑪麗的女兒在一次聚會(huì)回來之后，一心想著減肥，后來她通過節(jié)食和運(yùn)動(dòng)瘦了20公斤，但是身體也由此變得很差了�，旣惡軗�(dān)心女兒，不知道如何幫助她的女兒。她為一開始鼓勵(lì)她而感到遺憾。她擔(dān)心如果索菲亞老是拿自己和雜志上的模特比，她永遠(yuǎn)不會(huì)高興�，旣愒噲D告訴索菲亞，真正的美來自內(nèi)心。普通人不應(yīng)該看起來像模特。當(dāng)一個(gè)人充滿自信、智慧和生活的快樂時(shí)，最平凡的臉就會(huì)變得美麗。

【1】根據(jù)文中Six months ago, Sophia came back from a party, upset and unhappy. From then on, she thought of nothing but how to lose weight and become beautiful.可知，是從六個(gè)月前開始減肥的，故答案為Six months ago。

【2】根據(jù)文中She refused to eat and kept on doing exercise. Sophia had always been a little heavy, so when she decided to go on a diet可知，她通過絕食和做運(yùn)動(dòng)來減肥，故答案為She refused to eat.

【3】根據(jù)文中 She felt that her daughter would look more attractive if she lost 10 kilograms. However, Sophia has lost 20 kilograms until now.可知，她到現(xiàn)在為止，瘦了20公斤，故答案為She has lost 20 kilograms until now.

【4】根據(jù)文中but Sophia thinks that she is still too heavy and refuses to eat as usual.可知，她減肥之后還是覺得自己很胖，并沒有像往常那樣正常飲食，故答案為No, she doesn’t.

【5】根據(jù)文中When she is not there, she spends her time reading magazines like “Fashion & Beauty”（《時(shí)尚與美》）. The models in these magazines are very thin and beautiful. Sophia says, “If I look like models, I will be happy and all the boys will like me.”可知，她想變成雜志上模特的樣子，所有的男孩子都會(huì)喜歡她，故答案為She thinks all the boys will like her if she looks like the models.

【6】根據(jù)文中Mary tries to tell Sophia that true beauty comes from within. Common people are not supposed to look like models. The most ordinary face becomes beautiful when the person is filled with confidence, wisdom and the joy of life.可知，Sophia并不懂得真正的美麗是什么，她只是覺得外表漂亮就好了，而她的媽媽想告訴她真正的美來自內(nèi)心。普通人不應(yīng)該看起來像模特。當(dāng)一個(gè)人充滿自信、智慧和生活的快樂時(shí)，最平凡的臉就會(huì)變得美麗。故答案為No, I don’t think so. I think when the person is filled with confidence, wisdom and the joy of life, she/he is really beautiful.

【題目】 Music is part of every culture on Earth. Many people feel that music makes life worth living. We can make music ourselves if we play an instrument(樂器) or sing. We can hear music on CDs or tapes, on radio or television and even on the Internet.

Music gives us pleasure. It can cheer us up, or excite us. Music can make us feel happy, sad, excited or calm-all kinds of feelings. But what is it? Some people describe it as an artful form of sounds across time. These sounds might be loud or soft, high or low, quick and short, or slow and long. The sounds need to keep on for some time in some kinds of forms to become music.

Music, like language, is a special human form of communication. Also like language, there are many different kinds. In North America, people listen to jazz, rock, classical, folk, country, and many other kinds of music. Each kind of music has its own rules and “speaks” to us in its own way. What we think of music depends on where we live. What Americans are used to listening to might sound strange to someone from another culture. It might not even sound like music. And also you can find that every country has its own typical instruments to show their traditional music. Today, modern communications make it possible for us to listen to music from all over the world. In this way music from one part of the world could influence music from another part.

Music goes along with many of our activities. We dance to music. We sing songs at school. Many of us exercise to music. We hear music in cars and stores. Music comes with many important moments. Music pleases us. We listen to slow music, spiritual music, pop music, rock music, and opera. We have favorite performers. We hear music as the background in movies. Perhaps we go to the theater to see a musical movie---play with music, singing, and often with dancing. Music is part of our lives.

根據(jù)短文內(nèi)容，完成下列小題。

【1】Can we make music by singing?

________________________________________________________________________________

【2】What kinds of feelings can music give us?

________________________________________________________________________________

【題目】 A new research has discovered that meditation（冥想）and oxygen sport together reduce depression（抑郁）. The Rutgers University study found that this mind and body combination, done twice a week for only two months, reduced the symptoms of a group of students by 40 percent.

“We are excited by the findings because we saw such a meaningful improvement in both clinically depressed and non-depressed students, ”said lead author Dr. Brandon Alderman.“It is the first time that both of these two behavioral ways have been looked at together for dealing with depression.”

Researchers believe the two activities have an interactive（交互的）effect in combating depression. Alderman and Dr. Tracey Shors discovered that a combination of mental and physical training( MAP) enabled students with major depressive disorder not to let problems or negative thoughts defeat them.

Rutgers researchers say those who participated in the study began with 30 minutes of focused attention meditation followed by 30 minutes of oxygen sport. They were told that if their thoughts drifted to the past or the future they should refocus on their breathing, which enabled those with depression to accept moment-to-moment changes in attention.

Shors, who studies the production of new brain cells in the hippocampus-part of the brain involved in memory and learning-says scientists have shown in animal models that oxygen sport exercise keeps a large number of certain cells alive.

The idea for the human intervention（干預(yù)）came from her laboratory studies, she says, with the main goal of helping individuals acquire new skills so that they can learn to recover from stressful life events.

By learning to focus their attention and exercise, people who are fighting depression can acquire new learning skills that can help them process information and reduce the overwhelming recollection of memories from the past, Shors says.

“We know these treatments can be practiced over a lifetime and that they will be affective in improving mental health, ”said Alderman.“The good news is that this intervention can be practiced by anyone at any time and at no cost.”

【1】What made the research so different?

A.Adopting a way of meaningful talk.B.Treating depression with special medicine.

C.Combining the two ways to reduce depression.D.Comparing the depressed with the non-depressed.

【2】The underlined word "combasting" in Paragraph 3 probably means __________.

A.fightingB.developingC.improvingD.examining

【3】What can we know about what the participants did in the research?

A.They did oxygen sport half an hour before thinking.B.They thought quietly and then took exercise.

C.They took exercise longer than they thought.D.They took exercise while thinking quietly.

【4】What is Shors' main purpose of her studies?

A.To find out certain brain cells of humans.B.To study the production of new brain cells.

C.To offer people a new method to reduce stress.D.To decide the links between stress and exercise.
