2014高考英语阅读理解抓分练习题（36）及答案 i am not really much of a diet fan, my weight has never been an issue. i eat whatever i want, when i want. but as pamela mcdonald explains diet is not merely a method for controlling weight, but has a significant influence on health and quality of life.i can hardly imagine that living on fried bacon would be a good way to lose weight and promote good overall health. likewise a steady diet of cabbage soup would likely become somewhat monotonous(单调乏味的) after a couple of days.pamela mcdonald takes a different approach, there is no one-size-fits-all diet, different people need different things. although all humans are intrinsically(本质地) composed of the same material, the building blocks, our genes, are subtlety different.the author maintains that one particular part of a persons dna, something called the apo e gene, has much to do with how our body tolerates foods of different types. this gene comes in 8 varieties and depending on the variety the food requirements are different. this has little to do with weight loss, and has more to do with overall good health. weight gain is not a problem but rather a symptom. a diet alone will not resolve the entire problem, it is merely one part of the larger picture.i have to admit that parts of the apo e gene diet were a little heavy going, i appreciate that the author felt the requirement to back up her claims with some scientific data, but for the lay(外行的) man it makes for some rather difficult reading.the second half of the book, is recipes, now this is something i do understand! she has created some very innovative dishes, and certainly more than one that had me feeling hungry just reading them. my favorite of them is a very traditional english dish the cornish pasty. an interesting book and one that people should read, you can get your copy from amazon.1. whats the writing purpose of the passage?a. to help readers realize the importance of diets.b. to share her reviews of a book about diets.c. to advertise for the amazon online bookstore.d. to introduce a new way of losing weight.2. what can we learn from pamela mcdonalds book? a. different people need different foods to keep fit.b. humans are completely made up of the same genes. c. different apo e gene decides if you are healthy. d. diets alone can successfully help fat people lose weight.3. whats the shortage of pamela mcdonalds book?a. it advises people to eat some repeated diets every day to keep slim.b. it supports its arguments with convincing scientific explanation. c. parts of it are difficult for common readers to understand well.d. it is a heavy book that is too long for many readers to finish.4. what cannot we infer from the passage?a. what food we need is decided by the environment were brought up.b. gaining weight indicates there may be something wrong with your health.c. the writer is deeply attracted by the dishes introduced in the book.d. you can learn how to make the cornish pasty from

teacher. her daughters teacher this year did not receive a rating because he previously taught high schoolms. sane said that the rating was not the only factor that influenced how she assessed a teachers performance, but that the data used for teacher evaluations mattered.but other parents dropping their children off at the ella baker school said they did not trust teacher ratings based on test scores any more than they wanted their childrens learning measured only by the state exams.“some people take it as the final word, but it doesnt change who they are as teachers. the ratings arent
