6.Perhaps you don't know that your house may have an effect on your figure.Experts say the way you design your home could play a role in whether you pack on the pounds or keep them off.You can make your environment work for you instead of against you.Here are some ways to turn your home into part of diet plan.
  Open the curtains and turn up the lights.Dark environments are more likely to encourage overeating,for people are often less self-conscious(難為情)when they're in poorly lit places-and so more likely to eat lots of food.If your home doesn't have enough window light,get more lamps and flood the place with brightness.
  Mind the colors.Research suggests warm colors fuel our appetites.In one study,people who ate meals in a blue room consumed 33 percent less than those in a yellow or red room.Warm colors like yellow make food appear more appetizing,while cold colors make us feel less hungry.So when it's time to repaint,go blue.
    Don't forget the clock-or the radio.People who eat slowly tend to consume about 70 fewer calories(卡路里) per meal than those who rush through their meals.Begin keeping track of the time,and try to make dinner last at least 30 minutes,And while you're at it,actually sit down to eat.If you need some help slowing down,turn on relaxing music.It makes you less likely to rush through a meal.
    Downsize the dishes,Big serving bowls and plates can easily make us fat.We eat about 22 percent more when using a 12-inch plate instead of a 10-inch plate.When we choose a large spoon over a smaller one,total intake(攝入) jumps by 14 percent.And we'll pour about 30 percent more liquid into a short,wide glass than a tall,skinny glass.
29.What are people advised to do at mealtimes?D
A.Eat quickly.
B.Play fast music.
C.Turn down the lights.
D.Use smaller spoons.
30.A home environment in blue can help peopleC.
A.digest food better             
B.burn more calories       
C.reduce food intake          
D.regain their appetites
31.What can be a suitable title for the test?B
A.Ways of Serving Dinner           B.Is Your House Making You Fat?
C.Effects of Self-Consciousness   D.Is Your Home Environment Relaxing?
32.The text is especially helpful for those who care aboutC.
A.healthy diets                  
B.their home comforts         
C.their body shape               
D.house buying.

分析 本文主要講述房子對人的身材很有影響.長胖還是變瘦關(guān)鍵看你如何設(shè)計自己的家了.我們這里有很好的建議4條:1.房間要明亮;2.用冷色系會減少食欲;3.放一些舒緩的音樂就餐;4.用小的碗碟.

解答 29--32 DCBC
29.D 推理判斷題.本題是在考查考生是否理解了4條建議.第4段People who eat slowly tend to consume about 70 fewer calories(卡路里) per meal than those who rush through their meals.,說明吃得慢就吃得少,吃得快就多,故A錯;If you need some help slowing down,turning on relaxing music.說明放舒緩的音樂可以讓人吃得慢,反之則快,故B錯;第二段Dark environments are more likely to encourage overeating,由此可知房間暗會增加飲食,所以C錯;最后一段When we choose a large spoon over a smaller one,total intake(攝入) jumps by 14 percent.用大勺和小勺吃飯,相差14%,故選D.
30.C 細節(jié)理解題.根據(jù)第三段第二句話In one study,people who ate meals in a blue room consumed 33 percent less than those in a yellow or red room.可知在藍色的房間內(nèi)人吃的食物相對在黃色或者紅色房間少33%.暖色讓人胃口大開,冷色讓人感覺到不餓.故選C.
31.B 主旨大意題.根據(jù)文章的開頭Your house may have an effect on your figure.Experts say the way you design your home could play a role in whether you pack on the pounds or keep them off.you can make your environment work for you instead of against you.可知,你的家居環(huán)境既可以讓你變胖也會讓你變瘦.本文非常適合那些想減肥的人士來閱讀,所以選B可以更好地概括全文.故選B.
32.C 推理判斷題.根據(jù)第一段Here are some ways to turn your home into part of your diet plan.可知,要讓你的家的設(shè)計成為你減肥計劃的一部分,所以這篇文章對那些在乎自己的體型的人更有幫助.故選C.

點評 歷史文化類閱讀理解文章屬高考常選材料之一.這類文章常涉及歷史、文化、法制、宗教等方面的文學(xué)藝術(shù)、發(fā)明創(chuàng)造、文化遺產(chǎn)保護、宗教與文化、風(fēng)俗與習(xí)慣、道德與法制、中外文學(xué)名著節(jié)選、等等.這類材料的命題點往往落在主旨大意題、事實細節(jié)題上.

18.So much to do,so little time.So much information,so little time to read it.In this age there is more information than ever before.There is not enough time to read everything we want to read.However,you can consume more information in shorter time through speed-reading.
The first thing about speed-reading is looking at the word and recognizing it.Don't say the word in your mind,just look at it and recognize its importance.Later you will recognize clumps of four words or more to increase your speed.This is the first and most important step in speed-reading.
The next step is technique.As with any other skill,speed-reading requires technique.You should first be sitting up straight with your book flat on a horizontal (水平的) surface such as a table or a desk.Next,you should be able to see the entire page.This is necessary if you want to recognize clumps of words.Lastly,you should be focused.It is hard to read with a lot of noise.Find a quiet place to read.This will help your understanding of the text.
You need something to guide your eyes while reading.You should use your finger.Move your finger smoothly across the page.Keep your eyes focused on the words as you recognize them while using your finger as a guide.This will increase your speed.
The third step is practice.Practice makes perfect.Read using different techniques,but make sure you understand what you are reading.

28.From the first paragraph,we know thatB.
A.there is more limited information than ever before
B.conditions ask people to use less time to know more information
C.people can read what they like
D.the less you read,the more time you will spend
29.Which of the following shows the RIGHT time order for speed-reading according to the passage?C
a.Ask for more technique.
b.Look at many words and recognize them.
c.Practise more.
A.c,a,b       B.c,b,a       
C.b,a,c       D.a(chǎn),c,b
30.The underlined part"you should be focused"in the third paragraph means thatA.
A.a(chǎn) person should devote all his attention to reading
B.your feelings will be hurt while reading
C.a(chǎn) person should forget his difficulties while reading
D.you should pay attention to your faults while reading
31.To speed up your reading,you couldA.
A.use something to guide your eyes
B.say every word out loud
C.know it is necessary to read quickly
