19．Sunday is more like Monday than it used to be．Places of business that used to keep daytime"business hours"are now open late into the night．And on the Internet，the hour of the day and the day of the week have become irrelevant （不相關(guān)的）．A half century ago in the United States，most people experienced strong and precise dividing lines between days of rest and days of work，school time and summer time．Today the boundaries still exist，but they seem not clear．gkstk
The law in almost all states used to require stores to close on Sunday； in most，it no longer does．It used to keep the schools open in all seasons except summer； in most，it still does．And whether the work week should strengthen its legal limits，or whether it should become more"flexible，"is often debated．How should we，as a society，organize our time？Should we go even further in relaxing the boundaries of time until we live in a world in which every minute is much like every other？gkstk
These are not easy questions even to ask．Part of the difficulty is that we rarely recognize the"law of time"even when we meet it face to face．We know as children that we have to attend school a certain number of hours，a certain number of days，a certain number of years-but unless we meet the truant officer （學(xué)監(jiān)），we may well think that we should go to school due to social custom and parents'demand rather than to the law．As adults we are familiar with"extra pay for overtime working，"but less familiar with the fact that what constitutes （構(gòu)成）"overtime"is a matter of legal definition．When we turn the clock forward to start daylight-saving time，have we ever thought to ourselves："Here is the law in action"？As we shall see，there is a lot of law that has great influence on how we organize and use time：compulsory education law，overtime law，and daylight-saving law-as well as law about Sunday closing，holidays，being late to work，time zones，and so on．Once we begin to look for it，we will have no trouble finding a law of time to examine and assess．

51．By saying"Sunday is more like Monday than it used to be"，the writer means thatD．
A．work time is equal to rest time              
B．many people have a day off on Monday
C．it is hard for people to decide when to rest
D．the line between work time and rest time is unclear
52．The author raises the questions in Paragraph 2to introduce the fact that peopleC．
A．fail to make full use of their time        
B．enjoy working overtime for extra pay
C．a(chǎn)re unaware of the law of time    
D．welcome flexible working hours
53．According to the passage，most children tend to believe that they go to school because theyB．
A．need to acquire knowledge   B．have to obey their parents
C．need to find companions     D．have to observe the law．

分析 文章大意：本文探討了時間規(guī)律的變化以及由此帶來的人們生活起居、工作學(xué)習(xí)的變化．

解答 51．D 細節(jié)理解題．根據(jù)第1段Today the boundaries still exist，but theyseem not clear．說明工作和休息的分界線現(xiàn)在變得不明顯了，故選擇D．A"工作時間與休息時間相等"，B"很多人在星期一休息"，C"人們很難判斷在什么時候休息"都與真實含義不符．
52．C 推理判斷題．根據(jù)第2段描述，作者提出這樣的問題是想說明人們不清楚時間規(guī)律，而并非"不能充分利用時間"、"喜歡工作以得到額外報酬"或"歡迎富有彈性的工作時間"．
53．B 推理判斷題．根據(jù)第3段…we should go to school due to socialcustom and parents'demand rather than to the law可知學(xué)生們認為上學(xué)是迫于社會習(xí)慣或家長的要求而不是出于時間規(guī)律，應(yīng)選擇B．

9．People with an impulsive personality refer to those who tend to do things without considering the possible dangers or problems first．According to a new study by researchers at the University of Georgia，such people may be more likely to have food addiction．The study found that people exhibiting impulsive behavior weren't necessarily overweight，but impulsiveness was related to a direct relationship with food，and therefore，less healthy weight．
Food addiction has been compared to addictive drug use．Studies have linked the dopamine （多巴胺） release that occurs after tasting delicious food to the dopamine release that happens when people consume other addictive substances．
Impulsive behavior involves several personality traits （特點）．Two of these traits，known as negative urgency and lack of perseverance，were particularly associated with food addiction and high BMI （身體質(zhì)量指數(shù)） during the study．
Negative urgency is characterized by the tendency to behave impulsively when experiencing negative emotions．Some people might drink alcohol or take drugs．For others，it could mean eating to feel better．Lack of perseverance is when a person has a hard time finishing hard or boring tasks．People with a lack of perseverance might have difficulty attempting to change addictive eating behavior，which could also cause obesity．
"Impulsiveness might be one reason why some people eat in an addictive way despite motivation to lose weight，"said Dr．Ashley Gearhardt，a clinical psychologist．He was involved in developing the Yale Food Addiction Scale in aid of those people．"We are theorizing that if food addiction is really a thing，then our measure，the Yale Food Addiction Scale，should be related to helping control impulsive action，"said Gearhardt．
Clinical psychologist Dr．James MacKillop，whose lab was conducting the study，believes that therapies used to treat addictive drug behavior could help people who suffer from addictive eating habits．
"Most of the programs for weight loss at this point focus on the most obvious things，which are clearly diet and exercise，"MacKillop said．"It seems that managing strong desires to eat would naturally fit in with the skills a person would need to eat healthily．"

12．According to Paragraph 1，the result of food addiction isA．
A．less healthy weight  B．motivation to lose weight
C．negative emotions    D．taking alcohol or drugs
13．How does the author introduce the two personality traits in Paragraph 4？D
A．By making comparisons and conclusions． B．By explaining causes and effects．
C．By presenting questions and answers．   D．By giving definitions and examples．
14．What can be inferred about the Yale Food Addiction Scale from the text？B
A．It has been successfully carried out among overweight people．
B．It might help some impulsive people with food addiction to lose weight．
C．It will prove whether food addiction is a problem to impulsive people．
D．It is theoretically a proper treatment for addictive food and drug behavior．
15．Which of the following can be the best title for the text？C
A．Dopamine release caused by food addiction  
B．Food addiction compared to drug use
C．Impulsive personality linked to food addition   
D．Food addiction contributing to obesity．

The lip-stick-style tube contains hundreds of milligrams of tiny food particles （粒子） which are small enough to be carried by air，but too large to enter the lungs．Each Le Whif contains enough flavor for about eight to ten whiffs （一陣氣味） and costs﹩1.99 on its own，or﹩4.99 a pack of three．The inhaler is available in chocolate as well as coffee flavor．
It was invented by Prof．David Edwards．He said Le Whif was not designed to replace food but could be used to increase dining experiences，such as allowing people to try a variety of dishes from restaurant menus before ordering their meal．
He said，"In terms of living on whiffing，we aren't even close to being there．But there clearly has been a revolution over the last few years where we are eating smaller amounts of food more frequently，and choosing food for its aesthetic （審美的） pleasure．We will be launching new whiffing experiences probably every six months．It is reasonable to predict that the next line of whiffing products will be even more health centered．"
The product came onto market in Paris in 2009and the first production run of 25，000inhalers were sold out within a month．It has since been made available across France and in the US．In Britain Le Whif is to be sold firstly in House of Fraser for a month，after which it could become more widely distributed．

9．The food we eat seems to have a great effect on our health．Although science has made big steps in making food more fit to eat，it has，at the same time，made many foods unfit to eat．Some research has shown that perhaps 80% of human illness is related to food and 40% of cancer is related to food as well．That food is related to illness is not a new discovery．In 1945，some researchers realized that things commonly used to keep colour in meats and other food additives（添加劑）caused cancer．
Yet，these additives remain in our food，and it is difficult to know which things on the wrappings（包裝）of foods are helpful or harmful．The additives which we eat are not all so direct．Farmers often give penicillin to their animals，and because of this，penicillin has been found in the milk of cows．Sometimes similar things are supplied to animals not for their health，but just to make a profit．
The farmers are simply trying to fatten the animals in order to get a higher price on the market．Although some countries have tried to control such things，the practice continues．
56．According to this passage，we can know．A
A．perhaps most of human illness is caused by what we eat
B．perhaps most kinds of cancer are related to what people eat
C．cancer was discovered in 1945
D．science has made food unfit to eat
57．Things that are used to keep colours in meats are．A
A．harmful      B．useless        C．helpless         D．delicious
58．Which of the following is NOT true？D
A．Some wrappings of food are harmful．
B．Farmers try to make more money on the market by fattening their animals．
C．"The practice continues"means"things are still going on like that"．
D．We needn't take care of what we eat．
