roadsoon the two of us became friends：me allowing him to steal my cats biscuits，him allowing me to stroke him while staring up at me in a relaxed wayif he had been able to speak，the majority of his sentences would have ended in the word “dude”(伙计) when ruby died in 2009，a friend who lived several miles away adopted samsona strict diet followed，which left samson looking less like a beach ball and

zone: a dangerous place diet coke, diet pepsi, diet pills, no-fat diet, vegetable diet we are surrounded by the word “diet” everywhere we look and listen. we have so easily been attracted by the promise and potential of diet products that we have stopped thinking about what diet products are doing to us. we are paying for products that harm us psychologically and physically. diet products significantly weaken us psychologically. on one level, we are not allowing our brain to admit that our weight problems lie not in actually losing the weight, but in controlling the consumption of fatty, high-calorie, unhealthy foods. diet products allow us to jump over the thinking stage and go straight for the scale（秤）instead. all we have to do is to swallow or recognize the word “diet” in food labels. on another level, diet products have greater psychological effects. every time we have a zero-calorie drink, we are telling ourselves without our awareness that we dont have to work to get results. diet products make people believe that gain comes without pain, and that life can be without resistance and struggle. the danger of diet products lies not only in the psychological effects they have on us, but also in the physical harm that they cause. diet foods can indirectly harm our bodies because consuming them instead of healthy foods means we are preventing our bodies from having basic nutrients. diet foods and diet pills contain zero calorie only because the diet industry has created chemicals to produce these wonder products. diet products may not be nutritional, and the chemical that go into diet products are potentially dangerous. now that we are aware of the effects that diet products have on us, it is time to seriously think about buying them. losing weight lies in the power of minds, not in the power of chemicals. once we realize this, we will be much better able to resist diet products, and therefore prevent the psychological harm that comes from using them.13. one psychological effect of diet products is that people tend to _. a. hesitate before they enjoy diet foods b. pay attention to their own eating habitsc. watch their weight rather than their diet d. try out a variety of diet foods 14. in paragraph 3, “gain comes without pain” probably means _. a. losing weight is effortless b. diet products bring no pain c. it costs a lot to lose weight d. diet products are free from calories 15. diet products indirectly harm people physically because such products _. a. lack basic nutrients b. are over-consumed c. are short of chemicals d. provide too mu energy 第二节补全对话（共5小题，每小题2分，共10分）根据短文内容，从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。 in our rush to make life easier, we have decided to go blindly into the future without paying a thought to the severe consequences. the results have been great profits for individuals who have invested their time and money in industries that have improved their (and some others) quality of life. 16 but if we can create pollution, we can reduce it too. the problem is time and money. and time and money happen to be the investment that the creators of the pollution claim to have made to make life better for all, which means they have made a mess, to some or a large extent, in all cases. the united states suffered from problems similar to what china is facing today. 17 the us government finally opened its eyes to the problems and told industries to cut down their polluting emissions（排放）, for which it implemented strict laws requiring clean air and water. all the states in the country follow the regulations, and have added additional requirements that enhance the environmental laws. the end result is cleaner air and water. 18 the answer: the costs for keeping the environment clean eventually became the burden of the people. the equipment needed to create a healthy lifestyle has been added to the cost of making what we want. the materialistic world that we live in is the cause of most of the pollution. if you wish, you can move away from cities and industrial regions causing the problem. 19 however, you will soon realize how really small the world is when pollution catches up with us through the wind and rain. it will take time and money to solve the problems the environment faces today. 20 what the chinese government should do is to immediately implement strict laws that require clean air and water. a. so who paid for the clean air and water?b. the results left scars on the land, dirty air and water.c. if so, you may escape from the commonly known pm2.5 .d. im sure you can find places that are yet to be affected by the pollution.e. the us government created the environmental protection agency to oversee these laws.f. but the longer we wait, the worse they will become and the more they will cost to solve.g. however, that has also brought us side effects like polluted air and water we have to endure.第二部分语法知识填空第一节
