【題目】You never played the video dance game? Now such games are used to help lose weight!

Like many other teenage boys, Jones loves sports. But at 5 feet, 175 pounds, he found his weight in trouble. His doctor wanted him to lose 50 pounds so that he may be a good football game player by the end of the summer.

Jones chose the popular Dance Revolution video game at home to increase his activity. He had lost about 10 pounds by changing his diet. Now, after two weeks’ playing the game, he has lost another 10!

A health study is being done by an insurance company. The company hopes that the game will lead to better health and lower costs. “Obesity claims last year cost us $ 77 million. We have to cut those costs,” said a member of the insurance group. The company provides a game console (游戲主機(jī)), a dance mat and software for the six-month, $ 60,000 study.

The study is more than a commercial thing of an insurance company. It is widely supported by physical education and health professionals.

In West Virginia, 43% of the nearly 6,000 children examined for heart disease risk were considered over-weighted; more than 25% were too fat. “We are in a crisis of childhood obesity not only in West Virginia but in America,” said a researcher.

Researchers are now looking at the potential for improving effects by using the game. A teacher in West Virginia has been using the video games in her classes since last fall. She reported that the game does improve heart health as well as eye-hand coordination (協(xié)調(diào)能力), and her students take the video game as a great alternative to jumping rope or ball games.

The US Education Department is putting the game in 20 schools to control childhood obesity. Well, are you going to try such to dance away your extra weight?

【1】The underlined part is trying to tell us _____.

A. the study involves many insurance companies

B. the study is only an insurance company’s business

C. the study is less important than the insurance company’s money

D. it’s not only the insurance company that is concerned about the study

【2】It can be inferred that _____.

A. the government thinks highly of the dance game

B. in West Virginia, more than 25 % of the adults were too fat

C. a teacher is a failure in using the video game in her classes

D. the US Education Department isn’t interested in the game

【3】The most suitable title of the passage is _____.

A. Dance Away Your Weight

B. Play the Video Dance Game

C. Solve the Problem of Obesity

D. Cut the Cost of Obesity Claims

【答案】

【1】D

【2】A

【3】A

【解析】

試題分析：目前不僅在West Virginia而且在美國，有一個兒童肥胖危機(jī)。告戒人們超重會帶來心臟病。本文通過Jones的故事，可知玩視頻舞蹈游戲可以被用來幫助減肥。

【1】D推理判斷題。根據(jù)劃線部分下一句It is widely supported by physical education and health professionals. 它得到了體育和健康專業(yè)人士的廣泛支持.�？芍@項(xiàng)研究不僅僅是保險公司的商業(yè)活動。故選D。

【2】A推理判斷題。根據(jù)第三段最后一句Now, after two weeks playing the game, he has lost another 10!玩游戲兩周后，他又減了10磅。從這里可知做游戲后可以減體重，故選A。

【3】A主旨大意題。根據(jù)第一段Have you ever played the video dance game? Now such games are used to help lose weight!你有沒有玩過視頻舞蹈游戲？現(xiàn)在這種游戲被用來幫助減肥。所以最佳主題應(yīng)選A。

The English language is a result of the invasions of the island of Britain over many hundreds of years. The invaders lived along the northern coast of Europe.

【1】 The Angles were a German tribe who crossed the English Channel. Later two more groups crossed to Britain. They were the Saxons and the Jutes. Through many years, the Saxons, Angles and Jutes mixed their different languages. The result is what is called Anglo-Saxon or old English.

The next great invasion of Britain came from the far north beginning about l,100 years ago. People called Vikings came to the coastal areas of Britain. 【2】 Words like "sky" , "leg" , "skull" , "egg" , "lift" and "take" are from the old languages of the far northern countries.

The next invasion of Britain took place more than 900 years ago, in 1066. 【3】William the Conqueror led it.

The Normans were a French-speaking people from Normandy in the north of France. They became the new rulers of Britain. These new rulers spoke only French for several hundred years. It was the most important language in the world at that time. 【4】 But the common people of Britain still spoke old English.

Old English took many words from the Norman French. Some of these include "damage", "prison" and "marriage". The French language used by the Norman rulers greatly changed the way English was spoken by 800 years ago. 【5】 Middle English sounds like modern English. But it is very difficult to understand now. The history of the English language continues as Middle English becomes Modern English, which is spoken today.

A. History experts call this invasion the Norman Conquest.

B. It was the language of educated people.

C. English became what language experts call Middle English.

D. Therefore most common people speak the language.

E. Few people spoke Middle English at that time.

F. Many English words used today come from these ancient Vikings.

G. The first invasions were by a people called Angles about l,500 years ago.

Five Steps to Better Handwriting

Some kids love handwriting, but others hate when it’s time to put their pen to paper. Maybe they are worried about their handwriting. Are you one of them？ 【1】 Here are five steps that really work!

Get a great grasp

Try this—hold your pencil at the top and try to write your name. Pretty hard？But when you hold your pencil the correct way, writing is much easier. 【2】Hold it in place with your thumb, and your index(食指) and middle fingers.

Let the lines be your guide

Lined paper is your friend！Those lines can help you create letters that are the right size and proportion(均衡)．【3】 Also be sure to fill up the lined space completely. Those capital letters should be from the bottom line to the top one.

Slow down

If your writing is hard to read, try slowing down a little. If you rush, it’s hard to control where you stop and start your letters.

Lower the pressure

【4】 That makes it harder to make the smooth lines. Try easing up and don’t hold the pencil too tightly.

【5】

Lots of games require you to write or draw pictures. So even though it’s not schoolwork, you’re still using the skills you need to control your pen better.

A. Play games.

B. Ask for more advice.

C. So “a” should be half the height of a capital “A”.

D. You’ve been writing since you were a little kid.

E. Some kids press down really hard when they write.

F. The good news is that just about everyone can improve their handwriting.

G. The best way to hold a pen or pencil is to let it rest next to the base of your thumb.

【題目】B

It’s that time of year when people need to lock their cars. It’s not because there’re lots of criminals stealing cars. Rather, it’s because of good-hearted neighbors who want to share their harvest. Especially with this year’s large crop, leaving a car unlocked in my neighborhood is an invitation for someone to stuff it with zucchini（西葫蘆）.

My sister, Sharon, recently had a good year of tomatoes. She and her family had eaten and canned so many that they begun to feel their skin turn slightly red. She decided to share her blessings. She called everyone she knew. When that failed, she began asking everyone in the neighborhood, eventually finding a neighbor delighted to have the tomatoes. “Feel free to take whatever you want,” Sharon told her. She felt happy that she could help someone and that the food didn’t go to waste.

A few days later, the neighbor appeared in her house, holding a hot loaf of bread. She smiled,” I wanted to thank you for the tomatoes, and I have to admit I took a few other things too.”

Sharon couldn’t think of anything else that had been worth harvesting and said so,” Oh, but you did,” the neighbor said. “You had some of the prettiest zucchini I’ve ever seen.”

Sharon was confused. They hadn’t even planted any zucchini. But her neighbor insisted there were bright-green zucchini in her garden. Sharon decided to go to see where the zucchini had grown. The two of them walked t into the backyard. When the neighbor pointed at the long green vegetables, Sharon smiled,” Well, actually, those are cucumbers that we never harvested, because they got too big, soft and bitter for eating.”

The neighbor looked at Sharon, shock written all over her face. Then, smiling, she held out the bread she had shared all over the neighborhood. “I brought you a nice loaf of cucumber bread. I hope you will like it.”

【1】What does the underlined word “stuff” in Paragraph 1 probably mean?

A. Decorate. B. Swap. C. Fill. D. Exchange.

【2】What does the author mean by saying “they had begun to feel their skin turn slightly red” in Paragraph 2?

A. They thought they ate too many tomatoes.

B. They got sunburnt when picking tomatoes.

C. They were ashamed that they wasted too many tomatoes.

D. They felt embarrassed by not sharing tomatoes with their neighbors.

【3】How might the neighbor feel after knowing the truth?

A. Annoyed. B. Astonished.

C. Grateful. D. Embarrassed.

【4】From the text, we can infer that the neighbor____.

A. liked eating bread made of cucumbers

B. only picked tomatoes in Sharon’s garden

C. mistook big cucumbers for zucchini

D. went to another neighbor’s garden mistakenly
