Unit 1Living well.阅读理解(2018河北石家庄二中一模)Its 3 oclock and youve been hard at work.As you sit at your desk,a strong desire for chocolate overcomes you.You try to busy yourself to make it go away.But it doesnt work.Here is another situation.Perhaps you are not feeling well.The only thing you want to eat is a big bowl of chicken soup,like your mom used to make when you were sick as a child.Food cravings (渴望) are a strong desire for a specific type of food.And they are normal.Scientists at the website How Stuff Works compare hunger and cravings this way:Hunger is a fairly simple connection between the stomach and the brain.They even call it simply “stomach hunger”.When our stomachs burn up all of the food we have eaten,a hormone sends a message to one part of the brain for more food,which regulates our most basic body functions such as thirst,hunger and sleep.The brain then produces a chemical to start the appetite and you eat.Hunger is a function of survival.A craving is more complex.It activates(激活) brain areas related to emotion,memory and reward.These are the same areas of the brain activated during drug-craving studies.Some scientists call food cravings “mind hunger”.People often crave foods that are high in fat and sugar,which produce chemicals in the brain.These chemicals give us feelings of pleasure.In a 2007 study,researchers at Cambridge University found that “dieting or restricted eating generally increases the possibility of food craving”.Thus,the more you deny yourself a food that you want,the more you may crave it.However,fasting is a bit different.They found that eating no food at all for a short period of time lessened food cravings.Therefore,the next time you crave something very specific,know that your brain may be more to blame than your stomach.1.What is the function of the first paragraph?A.To remind readers of their own special food.B.To deepen the understanding of hunger.C.To report the discovery of craving study.D.To lead to the topic of the whole passage.2.What do we learn about food craving?A.It shows food is linked to feelings.B.It ensures a person survives hunger.C.It means the stomach functions well.D.It proves the brain decides your appetite.3.Whats the likely result of dieting?A.The decrease of chemicals.B.The increase of the desire for food.C.The refusal of fat and sugar.D.The disappearance of appetite.4.What does the passage mainly discuss?A.The functions of brain areas. B.What hunger is all about.C.The findings of food cravings.D.What dieting may bring us.语篇解读:饥饿与食物渴望存在区别。节食或限制饮食通常会增加食物渴望的可能性,食物渴望也与我们的大脑有关。答案及剖析:1.D推理判断题。根据第一段最后两句Food cravings(渴望) are a strong desire for a specific type of food.And they are normal.可知,第一段是为了引出整篇文章的话题。2.A推理判断题。根据第三段中的People often crave foods that are high in fat and sugar,which produce chemicals in the brain.These chemicals give us feelings of pleasure.可知,食物渴望与情感有关系。其他选项主要是关于饥饿而不是关于食物渴望的。3.B推理判断题。根据倒数第二段第一句In a 2007 study,researchers at Cambridge University found that “dieting or restricted eating generally increases the possibility of food craving”.可知,节食会导致对食物欲望的增加。4.C主旨大意题。根据最后一段中的Therefore,the next time you crave something very specific,know that your brain may be more to blame than your stomach.可知,本文主要谈论了关于食物渴望的调查结果。.七选五(2018福建厦门质检)Each one of us has different natural and acquired abilities.Some learn new languages quickly,and some are more social than others.1.

Youll find out most people will answer in the blink of an eye.Then how to communicate better after identifying individual or group thinking? 4. Individual thinkers need some time by themselves to digest a new idea.Therefore,try sending them suggestions by e-mail or introduce a new idea and then giving them some time to think about it.Group thinkers will react much better when talking about a new idea.5. When group thinkers ask to talk about something,theyre actually asking you to brainstorm with them to help find a solution using conversation.A.Choose your presentation strategy.B.You can find out which category you belong to.C.It is a challenge to convince people around you.D.So give them opportunities to voice their thoughts.E.But how about understanding how they actually think?F.Most people are more productive when working alone.G.These strengths determine how we think and make decisions.答案:15GCEAD.完形填空(2018山西太原一模)Leslie Morrissettes son,Graham,was 6 years old when he was diagnosed with leukemia(白血病).Throughout Grahams 1 in the hospital,Graham connected with everyone he met,from 2 patients to younger children.“He would 3 other sick children his toys or act silly to make them laugh,” Leslie said.“Grahams special spirit is what keeps me going.He gave me the energy and the 4 to fight with him.” In 1997,when Graham was 8 years old,he passed away.5 by how Graham lived his life caring about others,Leslie 6 the non-profit Grahamtastic Connection in his honor.The organization provides free technologyincluding computers,iPads,and robotsto children 7 against cancer and other serious illnesses.One of the major goals of Leslies work is to 8 kids to their classrooms,which really helps them continue their 9 despite hospitalizations and days 10 from school.The robots “transport” children right into the classroom in real time.They can 11 the robots right from their 12 bed or home.If the children are unable to attend school,they can 13 log on to their tablet or laptop and call in the robot.They can 14 up and down the halls.They can go to lunch with their 15.The real magic happens between classes,when theyre walking down the hallway with their friends,by robot,16 their weekend and their favorite foods and other things.Its a great technology that really gives children the feeling of control,when their world is maybe 17 control.“Every time I help a child in need,I feel 18 Graham is smiling down,” Leslie said.“I believe that Grahams 19 lives on in the work that I do.And Im 20 and privileged to be able to do it in his honor.”1.A.surgeryB.treatmentC.vacationD.rest2.A.elderlyB.sleepyC.deadlyD.naughty3.A.buyB.chargeC.returnD.lend4.A.focusB.strengthC.resourceD.attention5.A.ConfusedB.DepressedC.InspiredD.Worried6.A.leftB.visitedC.benefitedD.founded7.A.causingB.curingC.battlingD.preventing8.A.connectB.forceC.inviteD.throw9.A.careerB.educationC.struggleD.business10.A.missedB.stoppedC.sufferedD.graduated11.A.operateB.buildC.stealD.separate12.A.flowerB.riverC.hospitalD.hotel13.A.hardlyB.accidentallyC.simplyD.luckily14.A.driveB.jumpC.climbD.walk15.A.parentsB.friendsC.doctorsD.patients16.A.talking aboutB.putting offC.depending onD.thinking of17.A.underB.withinC.away fromD.out of18.A.even ifB.as thoughC.in caseD.so that19.A.successB.joyC.loveD.fortune20.A.angryB.sadC.carefulD.proud语篇解读:莱斯利的儿子多年前身患白血病但对生活充满希望,而且乐于助人。在儿子离世之后,莱斯利决定以儿子的名义帮助更多患有重病的孩子,让他们在患病的情况下也能像正常孩子一样继续学习。答案及剖析:1.B根据本句中的in the hospital可知,此处应表示格雷厄姆因为患病而在医院接受治疗期间。treatment意为“治疗”,符合语境。surgery意为“手术”;vacation意为“假期”;rest意为“休息”。2.A根据本句中的connected with everyone he met和younger children可知,格雷厄姆所接触的人年龄范围很广,因此此处应表示从老人到儿童都有,故elderly符合语境,意为“年长的”。sleepy意为“瞌睡的”;deadly意为“致命的”;naughty意为“淘气的”。3.D根据本句中的act silly to make them laugh并结合选项可知,此处应表示格雷厄姆愿意将自己的玩具借给其他生病的孩子,还会做一些滑稽的动作引他们发笑。lend意为“借给”,符合语境。buy意为“买”;charge意为“收费;索价”;return意为“归还”。4.B根据空前的the energy和空后的fight with him可知,在莱斯利看来,格雷厄姆的表现给了自己同他一起并肩作战的能量和力量。strength意为“力量”,本空应与energy意义相近。focus意为“焦点”;resource意为“资源”;attention意为“注意力”。5.C根据第一段中的倒数第二、三句可知,此处应表示孩子的表现令莱斯利倍受鼓舞,结合选项可知,Inspired符合语境,意为“受鼓舞的;受启发的”。inspired by.为过去分词短语,在本句中作状语表示原因。confused意为“困惑的”;depressed意为“感到压抑的”;worried意为“担忧的”。6.D根据下句中的organization可知,此处表示莱斯利受到了格雷厄姆的鼓舞,于是以他的名义建立了一个非营利性组织Grahamtastic Connection。found意为“建立”,符合语境。leave意为“离开”;visit意为“拜访”;benefit意为“受益于”。7.C根据上文莱斯利的儿子与白血病作斗争及空后的cancer and other serious illnesses可知,此处应表示该组织为那些正在与癌症及其他重病作斗争的孩子们提供免费技术。此处battle作动词,意为“斗争;搏斗”,符合语境。cause意为“引起;导致”;cure意为“治愈”; prevent意为“阻止”。8.A根据第四段的内容可知,此处应表示莱斯利的主要目标之一是帮助生病的孩子接触到教室,这样就能让在医院接受治疗的孩子们得到继续接受教育的机会。connect.to.意为“将和联系起来”,符合语境。force意为“强迫”;invite意为“邀请”;throw意为“扔”。9.B根据本句中的classrooms和school可知,此处表示这样能够帮助孩子们在住院期间仍然可以继续完成学业。education意为“教育”,符合语境。career意为“职业”;struggle意为“斗争;奋斗”;business意为“商业”。10.A结合常识可知,这些孩子因为住院而不能上学,错过了上学的日子。miss意为“错过”,在此处用过去分词形式,作后置定语,符合语境。stop意为“停止”;suffer意为“遭受”;graduate意为“毕业”。11.A根据本段第一句可知,这些高科技机器人能实时将孩子们“送到”教室里;结合选项可知,此处表示孩子们能够在医院的病床上或家里操作这些机器人
