15."Drink your milk.It's good for you!"You've probably heard that many times,and it's true.Milk contains calcium,which is a necessary nutrient for keeping bones and teeth healthy and strong.The U.S.government even requires milk as part of the National School Lunch Program,saying that students should drink one cup of fat-free or low-fat milk at each meal.
Last Thursday,however,a group of doctors asked the government to remove milk from the lunch program.The Physicians Committee for Responsible Medicine (PCRM) says,"Milk is high in sugar,high in fat and high in animal protein,all of which have negative effects on health.""One of the only reasons people talk about dairy,or promote it,is that it is going to help build strong bones."says Dr.Neal Barnard,president of the PCRM.There are better and healthier ways to get calcium such as eating beans,broccoli,cereals and tofu.Orange juice and soymilk that have calcium added to them also supply the nutrient.
Of course,calcium is important for healthy bones and teeth,but your genes,how much vitamin D you take in and getting an hour's worth of exercise every day all play a part.
Some nutritionists disagree with the idea that milk isn't important.Keri Gans,a dietitian,says,"I think it's irresponsible to take away this beverage that children enjoy,especially among those who are unable to meet their nutrient needs for the day,and remove it from the lunch line."
The U.S.government is studying the request of the PCRM,but a decision may be a long way off.Meanwhile,Marion Nestle,a professor at New York University,puts it best:"Milk has nutrients.Other foods have the same nutrients.It's just a food.Like other foods,too much might be a problem."

41.Why does the US government ask students to drink one cup of milk at lunch timeD?
A.They have been told many times.
B.They have taken the PCRM's advice.
C.Fat-free or low-fat milk is less expensive.
D.Milk helps build students'strong bones.
42.Which of the following opinions does the PCRM supportA?
A.Milk is harmful to students'health.
B.Students should drink more milk each day.
C.Orange juice is higher in calcium than milk.
D.Milk is the best way to get calcium.

分析 本文屬于說明文閱讀,文章主要講述了美國的傳統(tǒng)認為牛奶是對于補鈣非常重要的營養(yǎng)品,然而一些專家卻呼吁人們少喝牛奶,因為其中有很多的糖和蛋白質(zhì),專家認為可以通過吃別的更加健康的食物來給孩子們補鈣,文章中也給出了一些相反的觀點,總之任何東西吃的太多都是不好的.

解答 41.D  細節(jié)理解題,根據(jù)第一段Milk contains calcium,which is a necessary nutrient for keeping bones and teeth healthy and strong.The U.S.government even requires milk as part of the National School Lunch Program,saying that students should drink one cup of fat-free or low-fat milk at each meal.可知美國政府要求學(xué)生在午餐時間喝一杯牛奶是因為牛奶對骨骼和牙齒的健康和強壯有好處,故選D.
42.A  細節(jié)理解題,根據(jù)The Physicians Committee for Responsible Medicine (PCRM) says,"Milk is high in sugar,high in fat and high in animal protein,all of which have negative effects on health."可知PCRM認為牛奶中所含的物質(zhì)會對健康產(chǎn)生負面影響,故選A.
43.C  詞義猜測題,根據(jù)第四段"I think it's irresponsible to take away this beverage that children enjoy,especially among those who are unable to meet their nutrient needs for the day,and remove it from the lunch line."可知Keri Gans認為把孩子們所喜歡的牛奶從午餐中刪除是不負責(zé)任的,故選C.
44.B  推理判斷題,根據(jù)最后一段Meanwhile,Marion Nestle,a professor at New York University,puts it best:"Milk has nutrients.Other foods have the same nutrients.It's just a food.Like other foods,too much might be a problem."可知Marion Nestle認為牛奶只是一種食品,與其他食物一樣,牛奶只是普通食物中的一種,故選B.
45.D  主旨大意題,通讀全文可知本文主要講述了是否應(yīng)該將牛奶從午餐中刪除,故選D.

點評 考查學(xué)生的細節(jié)理解和推理判斷能力.做細節(jié)理解題時一定要找到文章中的原句,和題干進行比較,再做出正確選擇.在做推理判斷題時不要以個人的主觀想象代替文章的事實,要根據(jù)文章事實進行合乎邏輯的推理判斷.

3.New'York City has lots and lots of buildings,and many people live-there-almost 8 million people!Human beings take a lot of things from the earth,'and they also put a lot of things back into it,including things that pollute the air or use up natural resources.
"Eco-friendly,"or"green"buildings in New York City are good for the environment."Green"living helps save natural resources,makes the air cleaner,and helps us breathe better.
    We spend about 90 percent of our day indoors,where the air quality can actually be much worse than it is outside.
    Certain buildings have more access to natural daylight,appliances that use less energy,and encourage people to use environmentally friendly practices.Green buildings give the people who live in them cleaner air to breathe,and some even have sensors that turn lights on and off when you walk into or leave a room. The buildings also capture and reuse rainwater.
    The Albanese Organization built the first green residential building in North America in 2003.It is called the Solaire,and is located in Battery Park City.Now,in 2013,they are building another new green building in Battery Park City called the Visionaire,which is so environmentally friendly that it is being called America's greenest"high-rise building.       
     The building pud6es and reuses water,using 50% less water than a typical high-rise building. Some of the building's electricity is powered by the sun,and the fresh air is filtered to take pollutants out.
     The buildings themselves were all built using recycled materials from other construction projects,so that. those materials do not just end up in a garbage clump.  It costs more for companies to make these buildings,so the people who live in them have to pay more,too*But reduced energy bills help you save money.  And if you have allergies(過敏),you may end Lip saving on doctors'bills,too,since these buildings are healthier to live in.
"I have a history of asthma(哮喘)and hypersensitivity(高度過敏)to odors and allergens in the air,"said a Visionaire resident,Rod McCowan,52."The air is crisp and pure.  I can tell I'm breathing better."

56.What kind of life does the author suggest in this,passage?(no more than 2 words)Green living.
57. What does the Albanese'Organization specialize in?( no more than 6 words)(It specializes in)building green buildings
                                                                                     
58.How does the Visionaire save water?(no more than 5 words)It purifies and reuses water./By purifying and reusing water
59.What is this passage mainly about?( no more than 6 words)Green/Eco-friendly buildings in New York City
60.Why does the author say"green"buildings are healthier according to the last two paragraphs?(no more than 9 words)Because they have crisp and pure air in them./Because the air is crisp and pure..

20.The 11billion self-help industry is built on the idea that you should turn negative thoughts like"I never do anything right"into positive ones like"I can succeed."But was positive thinking advocate Norman Vincent Peale right?Is there power in positive thinking?
Researchers in Canada just published a study in the journal Psychological Science that says trying to get people to think more positively can actually have the opposite effect:it can simply highlight how unhappy they are.The study's authors,Joanne Wood and John Lee of the University of Waterloo and Elaine Perunovic of the University of New Brunswick,begin by citing older research showing that when people get feedback which they believe is overly positive,they actually feel worse,not better.If you tell your dim friend that he has the potential of an Einstein,you're just underlining his faults.In one 1990s experiment,a team including psychologist Joel Cooper of Princeton asked participants to write essays opposing funding for the disabled.When the essayists were later praised for their sympathy,they felt even worse about what they had written.
In this experiment,Wood,Lee and Perunovic measured 68students'self-esteem.The participants were then asked to write down their thoughts and feelings for four minutes.Every 15seconds,one group of students heard a bell.When it rang,they were supposed to tell themselves,"I am lovable."
Those with low self-esteem didn't feel better after the forced self-affirmation.In fact,their moods turned significantly darker than those of members of the control group,who weren't urged to think positive thoughts.
The paper provides support for newer forms of psychotherapy (心理治療) that urge people to accept their negative thoughts and feelings rather than fight them.In the fighting,we not only often fail but can make things worse.Meditation (靜思) techniques,in contrast,can teach people to put their shortcomings into a larger,more realistic perspective.Call it the power of negative thinking.
(Note:Answer the question or complete the statements in NO MORE THAN 12WORDS)

78.The self-help industry is based onthe concept of positive thinking.
79.The finding of the Canadian researchers is thatencouraging positive thinking many do more harm than good.
80.From the experiment of Wood,Lee and Perunovic,we know thatforcing a person to think positive thoughts may lower their self-esteem.
81.From the last paragraph,we know thatmeditation may prove to be a good form of psychotherapy.

7.Cooking programs and classes for children seem to positively influence children's food preferences and behaviors,according to a recent review.And,although the review didn't look at long-term effects of such programs,the findings suggest that such programs might help children develop long-lasting healthy habits.
This research comes at a time when childhood obesity(肥胖) rates have been rising rapidly.More than one-third of adolescents in the United States were obese in 2012,according to the U.S.Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC).This trend has been caused,at least in part,by a significant decrease in the amount of meals that people consume at home since the 1980s,according to background information in the study.
Cooking education programs,such as Food Explorers,teach children about new healthy foods and how to prepare them.They also stress the importance of eating five fruits and vegetables every day.A volunteer parent explains a new food to the group,and the kids make something based on the lesson,such as fruit or vegetable salad.Depending on the program,kids may be sent home with information about healthy foods to bring to their parents,the review explained.
The study team reviewed eight other studies that tested different types of cooking education programs.Children in these classes were between 5and 12years old,according to the review.The goal of the study team was to learn more about developing an efficient program to encourage healthy food choices that last a lifetime.The study found that it is particularly important to expose kids to healthy foods on a number of occasions.This makes them feel comfortable with the new foods,which helps them build healthy habits.
The study stressed the importance of getting parents involved in(參與) their children's eating habits.Parents who are unable to enroll their kids in a cooking class can achieve similar benefits by having their kids help them while they prepare meals at home.Children are more comfortable at home,which makes them more receptive to new foods because they will make the connection to a positive experience.

36.What can we infer from the second paragraph?A
A.Eating out frequently causes obesity.
B.Childhood obesity is totally caused by eating habit.
C.Childhood obesity rates have been rising rapidly since 2012
D.Food consumption has decreased significantly since the 1980s.
37.On cooking education programs,C.
A.children learn how to prepare foods from their parents
B.children will learn how to cook in the company of their parents
C.children may learn information unknown to their parents
D.children focus more on cooking skills than on information about healthy foods
38.Which of the following is true according to the study?B
A.Parents should let their kids cook independently at home.
B.A greater willingness to try new foods helps building healthy habits.
C.Children who participate in cooking programs are less likely to become obese.
D.Children who take cooking courses are more likely to choose fruits and vegetables as adults.
39.Which of the following categories does this passage belong to?D
A.Education Systems
B.Science and Technology
C.Parent-child Relationship
D.Public Health Research
40.The purpose of the passage isA.
A.to inform the reader

4.The Ebola Virus
Currently,the world is facing an epidemic (流行。 due to what is considered to be among the most dangerous viruses that humanity has ever faced-the Ebola bleeding virus.Though there were announcements about experimental treatments that were reported to be successful in terms of treating the virus,people around the world continue to die from Ebola.
Ebola was first discovered in 1976in Africa,on the banks of the Ebola River,after which the virus has been named.Back then,there were two major outbreaks of the virus,and this is how people learned about it.There exist several strains of the Ebola virus,some of them are deadly to people,and some are not.
The main symptoms of Ebola can appear in a period between the second and the 21st days of infection,but usually it happens on the eighth through 10th day.Among the symptoms that appear in the first turn,one should mention fever and chills,strong headaches,pain in joints and muscles,and general weakness.These symptoms are not too different from those that people usually experience when catching a severe cold,or flu,so victims may even ignore these symptoms,or try to treat them as a common sickness.However,as the virus keeps progressing,a patient develops nausea(嘔吐) with vomiting,diarrhea,chest and stomach pains,red eyes and rash over the body,severe weight loss,and bleeding from almost all bodily openings.
The virus is usually transmitted either through blood,or through waste.Infection through blood usually takes place if a person consumes infested meat,or even touches it (for example,butchering can also lead to infection).Also,there were cases when people got infected after stepping in waste of infected mammals,mostly bats.The other ways of getting infected is through skin by receiving bodily liquids via tiny openings.
Even though there is no specific cure for Ebola,doctors still try to treat it.In order to diagnose Ebola,doctors usually take tests on such diseases as cholera or malaria,because it is difficult to diagnose Ebola based only on symptoms.After the diagnosis has been made,doctors start treating the symptoms,which includes killing infected cells,electrolytes,blood pressure medication,blood transfusions,oxygen treatment,and so on.
Though Ebola is a highly dangerous disease,it is not likely that it will spread globally.It is most deadly in anti-sanitary(不衛(wèi)生的) conditions,which many African countries have an extremely bad reputation for.As for first world countries,even though there is still no universal cure,they are at much lesser risk than African countries.Though the symptoms of Ebola are severe and getting infected is not difficult,with the correct handling of an outbreak,the virus should not be able to spread.


(71)Introduction
●Ebola,a dangerous virus,was named after the Ebola River,on whose banks it was first discovered.
●Despite the (72)announced/reported success in the virus treatment,people across the world continue to die from the virus.

Symptoms
●In the first turn,the symptoms are (73)similar to those that people experience when they are (74)suffering from a severe cold or flu.
●If not (75)taken seriously,the virus will keep progressing,and things will change for the worse.

Ways of getting infected
●People (76)consuming infested meat or touching it can get infected.
●People who step in waste of infected mammals,mostly bats,are (77)likely to get infected.
●People who receive bodily liquids via tiny openings can also get infected.

Treatment and  (78)prevention
●After making correct diagnosis,doctors start treating the symptoms in many ways,(79)including killing infected cells,blood pressure medication,oxygen therapy,and so on.
●Sanitary living conditions play a significant (80)part/role in preventing the outbreak of the Ebola virus.
