一、阅读理解（共1道小题，共25.0分）1 Have you eaten too much over the holidays? You should try fidgeting for a while. Those around you might not like it, but scratching (moving your nails (指甲) against a part of your body) and twitching (moving suddenly and quickly when you dont want to) is an important way of burning up calories(热量). American researchers have found that some peoples squirming (continuously turn your body when nervous) and wigging (move in small movements, especially from side to side) equals (等于) several miles of slow running each day. The scientists, based at the National Institute of Healths laboratory in Phenix, Arizona, are studying why some people get fat and other people stay slim. In one study 177 people each spent 24 hours in a room in the institute where the amount of energy is measured by their oxygen and carbon dioxide(二氧化碳) levels. By the end of the day, some people had burned up 800 calories in toe-tapping (moving the front part of your foot up and down), finger-drumming (hitting your fingers continuously and lightly against something hard) and other nervous habits. However, others had burned up only 100 calories. The researchers found that slim women fidget more than fat women, but there was no significant difference in men. Heavy people burn up more energy when they fidget than do thin people.Based on the passage, the word “fidgeting” means which of the following?1 Scratching and twitching1 Squirming and wigging1 Slow running1 Moving ones body nervouslyWhy do some people get fat and other people stay slim according to the passage?1 Thin people burn up less calories when they fidget than fat people.1 Fat people burn up more calories than thin people.1 Those who burn up more calories than others will be thinner.1 Those who fidget more than others will be thinner.What was found in the scientific experiment?1 The energy burned up by fat people when they fidget was more than that burned up by thin people when they fidget.1 Some peoples fidgeting burned up more than 800 calories, but some peoples fidgeting burned up less than 100 calories.1 Slim women fidget more than fat women but fat men fidget more than thin men.1 Thin men fidget more than fat men.To be thin in a pleasant way is to be_.1 skinny1 bony1 slim1 underweightA fidget habit is thought to be _by scientists.1 a way to lose fat1 a nervous habit annoying the people around1 a better exercise than slow running1 a habit of thin people试题分值：25.0得分：5, 5, 5, 5, 52 提示：1D.词汇题。本题问“根据文章，fidgeting这个词是什么意思？”这个词出现在第一段，答案则需要我们读完前两段。第一段大意是“节日的时候，你是否吃得太多？你应该fidgeting一些才好。你周围的人可能不会喜欢，但是抓痒（用指甲抓身体的某个部位）和痉挛（非本意地快速移动）是燃烧热量的重要方式。”第二段大意是“美国的研究人员发现有些人的蠕动（紧张的时候不停的摆动身体）和摆动（幅度很小的移动，特别指从一边摆动到另一边）等于每天慢跑几英里。”据此可知答案是D（紧张地移动身体）。A和B都属于D的一种方式。2C.细节题。本题问“根据文章，为何有些人变胖，而另一些人却保持苗条？”中心词是“fat”和“slim”，答案在最后一段的最后一句，该句大意是“胖人在坐立不安时燃烧的热量比瘦人多”。选项中只有A（瘦人在坐立不安时燃烧的热量比胖人少）和此相符。3A.细节题。本题问“科学实验有何发现？”答案在最后一段，该段大意是“研究人员发现苗条的女性比胖的女性更容易坐立不安，但是男性之间没有什么区别。胖人在坐立不安时燃烧的热量比瘦人多”。据此可知答案是A。4C.细节题。本题问“令人赏心悦目的瘦就是_。”答案是C（苗条）。A的意思是“皮包骨的”，B的意思是“瘦骨嶙峋的”，D的意思是“标准重量以下的”。5A.细节题。本题问“坐立不安这种行为习惯被科学家认为是_。”本文主要讲述的就是坐立不安可以燃烧热量从而减肥，所以答案是A（一种减肥的方式）。B的意思是“一种惹恼别人的紧张的习惯”，C的意思是“比慢跑更好的锻炼”，D的意思是“瘦人的习惯”。二、单项选择题（共15道小题，共75.0分）3Lincolns story is the type which we think _ myth.1 of as1 over like1 of like1 over as知识点:第一部分学生答案:A;标准答案:A;得分:5试题分值:5.0提示:该题选A，题目大意是“我们已经把这类故事看成了神话。”think ofas： regard as把看成1. think of him as a good friend把他看作是好朋友2.
