【題目】閱讀理解
Deborah Cohen is a senior natural scientist at the Rand Corp and the author of the book A Big Fat Crisis: The Hidden Forces Behind the Obesity Epidemic and How We Can End It. According to the book, there are lots of misunderstandings of obesity.
1).If you're obese, blame your genes.
Obesity rates have increased. Yet, between 1980 and 2000, the number of Americans who are obese has doubled—too quickly for genetic factors to be responsible.
At restaurants, a dollar puts more calories on our plates than ever before, because restaurant meals usually have more calories than what we prepare at home, so people who eat out more frequently have higher rates of obesity than those who eat out less.
2).If you're obese, you lack self-control.
Research shows that if we are faced with too much information, we have a tendency to make poor dietary choices. Our world has become so rich in temptation that we can be led to consume too much in ways we can't understand. Even the most vigilant (警覺的) people may not be up to the task of controlling themselves.
3).Lack of access to fresh fruits and vegetables is responsible for obesity.
Although the US Department of Agriculture estimates that fewer than 5 percent of Americans live in the “food deserts”, about 65 percent of the nation's population is overweight or obese. For most of us, obesity is not related to access to more fresh fruits and vegetables, but to the choices we make in supermarkets.
4).The problem is not that we eat too much, but that we don't exercise.
Michelle Obama's “Let's Move” campaign is based on the idea that if kids exercise more, childhood obesity rates will decrease. But there was no significant decrease in physical activity levels as obesity rates climbed in the 1980s and 1990s. In fact, although a drop in work-related physical activity may account for up to 100 fewer calories burned, leisure physical activity appears to have increased. The problem is that we eat too much.
(1)The author mentioned Deborah Cohen's book in Paragraph 1 to _______.
A.introduce the topic
B.advise readers to buy books
C.introduce the author of the book
D.advertise the book
(2)What is the relationship between obesity and the place where you eat?
A.The less you eat out, the higher rates of obesity you have.
B.The less you eat at home, the lower rates of obesity you have.
C.The more you eat out, the higher rates of obesity you have.
D.The more you eat at home, the higher rates of obesity you have.
(3)What's the best title of this passage?
A.Four misunderstandings of obesity
B.Four rules to help you avoid obesity
C.Obesity leads to a big fat crisis
D.Lacking self-control leads to obesity

【答案】
(1)A
(2)C
(3)A
【解析】文章講述的是一本名為A Big Fat Crisis的書中介紹的人們對于肥胖的四大誤解,1、如果你肥胖,就要責怪你的基因。2、如果你胖,是你缺乏自制力。3、缺乏對新鮮水果和蔬菜的攝入是肥胖的原因。4、問題不是我們吃得太多,而是我們不鍛煉。文章對此進行了澄清。
(1)A 細節(jié)理解題。作者提到Deborah Cohen's book是為了引出下文人們對肥胖的四大誤解,所以是引出話題。故選A。
(2)C 細節(jié)理解題。根據(jù)文章的第三段中At restaurants, a dollar puts more calories on our plates than ever before, because restaurant meals usually have more calories than what we prepare at home, so people who eat out more frequently have higher rates of obesity than those who eat out less.可知,飯館里的食物比自己在家里準備的熱量要高,所以你在外面吃的越多,你的肥胖率會越高。故選C。
(3)A 主旨大意題。書中介紹的人們對于肥胖的四大誤解:1、如果你肥胖,就要責怪你的基因。2、如果你胖,是你缺乏自制力。3、缺乏對新鮮水果和蔬菜的攝入是肥胖的原因。4、問題不是我們吃得太多,而是我們不鍛煉。文章對此進行了澄清。故選A。

【題目】We’ve always been fascinated by consistently successful people. Most of them were not born into success. And they simply continue to do things that help them realize their full potential. 1

Create and pursue goals. Successful people are objective.2 They know what they are looking for and why they are fighting for it. Successful people always create and pursue their goals.

Take decisive and immediate action. Sadly, very few people ever live to become the success story they dream about.3 You can’t change anything or make any sort of real-world progress without taking action. So make the decision and take action immediately.

Focus on being productive, not being busy. Busy people are heading to work, meetings, social engagements, etc. But it may be an illusion. They’re like hamsters (倉鼠) running on a wheel. The solution: Slow down. Put first things first.4 And always remember, results are more important than the time it takes to achieve them.

5 If you’re selling a product line, don’t keep it so complicated. And if you’re trying to make a decision about something, don’t waste all your time evaluating every last detail of every possible option. Choose something that you think will work, give it a shot, and keep pressing forward.

A. Keep things simple.

B. Do one thing at a time.

C. It will be hard in the beginning.

D. They have realistic targets in mind.

E. Here are some things they do differently.

F. And that’s because they never take action.

G. Focus on making small, continuous improvements.

【題目】Listed below are the stories of women you may not know about, but definitely should.

Hedy Lamarr

Hedy Lamarr starred in many films. But her film career is far from her only noteworthy achievement; she was also a brilliant inventor. In 1942, she and composer George Antheil received a patent(專利)for a device that could change radio signal frequencies. The purpose of the technology was to keep military enemies from figuring out messages. But it did more than that - it laid a foundation for the wireless technology we use today.

Maria Sibylla Merian

Today, children can happily explain how a caterpillar(毛蟲) tums into a butterfly. But there was a time when no one knew this. Until the 1670s, scientists thought that caterpillars and butterflies were two totally different creatures. Thanks to Maria, we know the truth about these beautiful winged insects. Fascinated by insects, she began collecting, studying and drawing them as a child. It was through her study of caterpillars that she discovered the truth about their life cycles. She published two volumes of naturalist research, which provide major contributions to the field of entomology(昆蟲學).

Ada Lovelace

Ada Lovelace, the daughter of celebrated British poet Lord Byron, wasn’t a poet herself but the world’s first computer programmer. We think of computers as a recent invention, but people were toying with the idea of “computing machines” in the mid – 19th century when Lovelace was alive. Lovelace’s mathematical genius was apparent at a young age and caught the attention of Cambridge professor Charles Babbage, who was working to design early computing machines that would be able to quickly solve math problems. Lovelace wrote some suggestions as to how to program the machines to work out numbers.

In addition to designing this early computer program, she was also the first to surest that these computers might be able to do more than compute. She imagined them doing almost everything, from producing images to composing music.

1What does the underlined word “it” in the second paragraph refer to?

A. The technology. B. The patent.

C. The device. D. The film career.

2Before Maria’s discovery, people thought that .

A. a butterfly was insect without wings

B. a butterfly was turned from a caterpillar

C. a caterpillar had nothing to do with a butterfly

D. a caterpillar and a butterfly were insects of a kind

3What can we learn about Ada Lovelace from the text?

A. She possessed literary talent just like her father.

B. She foresaw various function& of the computer.

C. She received education in Cambridge University.

D. She is considered to have invented the computer.

4What did the three women have in common?

A. They discovered priceless things existing in nature.

B. They were entirely devoted to women’s rights.

C. They were expert at information technology.

D. They made great contributions to science.

【題目】閱讀理解
It was in the Victorian Era(維多利亞時期) that the novel became the leading form of literature in English. Most writers were more concerned to meet the tastes of the middle class. The best known works of the period included the works of Charles Dickens and the Bronté sisters and others.
Charles Dickens came on the literary scene in the 1830s. Dickens wrote vividly about London life and the struggles of the poor. Most of his works were written in a very humorous style, which was popular with readers of all classes.
The Bronté sisters were English writers of the 1840s and 1850s. They began to write from early childhood. In 1846 they published the first book at their own expense as poets; however, their book attracted little attention, selling only two copies. Then the sisters turned to writing novels, each producing a novel in the following year.
An interest in rural matters and the changing social and economic situation of the countryside may be seen in the novels of Thomas Hardy and a number of others.
Literature for children developed as a single style. Some works became well-known, such as those of Lewis Carroll and Edward Lear. Adventure novels were written for adults but are now generally grouped in the list for children. Helen Beatrix Potter was an English author at the end of the Victorian Era, best known for her children's books, which featured animal characters. In her thirties, Potter published the highly successful children's book The Tale of Peter Rabbit in 1902.
