2014高考英语阅读理解抓分训练题（32）及答案阅读理解（london）if it really is whats on the inside that counts, then a lot of thin people might be in trouble.some doctors now think that the internal fat surrounding important organs like the heart or liver could be as dangerous as the external fat which can be noticed more easily.“being thin doesnt surely mean you are not fat,” said dr jimmy bell at imperial college. since 1994, bell and his team have scanned nearly 800 people with mri machines to create “fat maps” showing where people store fat.according to the result, people who keep their weight through diet rather than exercise are likely to have major deposits of internal fat, even if they are slim.even people with normal body mass index scores can have surprising levels of fat deposits inside. of the women, as many as 45 percent of those with normal bmi scores (20 to 25) actually had too high levels of internal fat. among men, the percentage was nearly 60 percent.according to bell, people who are fat on the inside are actually on the edge of being fat. they eat too many fatty and sugary foods, but they are not eating enough to be fat. scientists believe we naturally store fat around the belly first, but at some point, the body may start storing it elsewhere.doctors are unsure about the exact dangers of internal fat, but some think it has something to do with heart disease and diabetes. they want to prove that internal fat damages the bodys communication systems.the good news is that internal fat can be easily burned off through exercise or even by improving your diet. “if you want to be healthy, there is no short cut. exercise has to be an important part of your lifestyle,” bell said.10. what is this piece of news mainly about?a. thin people may be fat inside.b. internal fat is of no importance.c. internal fat leads to many diseases.d. thin people also have troubles.11.doctors have found _.a. the exact dangers of internal fatb. internal fat is the cause of heart disease and diabetesc. being slim is not dangerous at alld. being slim doesnt mean you are not fat inside12.according to the passage, which of the following is wrong?a. exercise can help to reduce the internal fat.b. people can get rid of internal fat by improving diet.c. men are more likely to have too much internal fat.d. people with heart disease all have internal fat.13.from the last paragraph, we can find that _.a. whether internal fat can lead to disease has been provedb. exercise plays in important role in peoples life for keeping healthyc. thin people usually have internal fat even if they are slimd. it is easier to burn off internal fat than external fat14.the underlined part in the last paragraph means _.a. a long road b. an easy way c. a clear difference d. a short distance参考答案1014 addbb though i have traveled in hundreds of trains, few unusual things have ever happened to me. but one day in a train something did happen. i do not mean that i was hurt: no one was hurt. i do my work in a hot country far away from england. every september i go there to do my business, and every july i come back to england to have a rest. so every september i go to paris and take a train from the great french city to mendova, and at mendova i catch my ship. there is one very fast train from paris to mendova, and it suits me well. it goes as far as endoran, but it stops at mendova for a few minutes to let travelers get out or in. it is called the flying bluebird. it reaches mendova at seven minutes past nine in the morning, and it is never late. a ship leaves mendova at half past eleven, and so you will understand that the flying bluebird suits me very well. i always travel by it, and i have nearly two and a half hours at mendova to go from the station to the ship. that is more than enough time.well, one september night, i took my place in the flying bluebird as usual. the train leaves paris at nine oclock every night, and i was in my place soon after half past eight. there were three or four people there with me, but very soon a lot of others got into the train. when no more people could sit down, they began to stand up near us and also in the corridor（走廊）. in a short time the corridor was full too, and it was impossible for any more travelers to get into the train.i could see a lot of other people outside the corridor windows, but they could not get in, and the train left paris without them. the man sitting next to me started to ask all kinds of questions: “where do you work? how long does it take you to get there? are you married? how many children do you have? how much money do they pay you every year? how much do you have in the bank? how much do you spend every month?”he asked questions for about twenty minutes but i did not give him any clear answers, and at last he stopped and began to read the paper.i usually sleep quite well in the train, but this time i slept only a little. there were too many people, and there were too many things: small bags, large bags, coats, hats, boxes, newspapers and food. as usual, we got angry about the window. most people wanted it shut, and two of us wanted it open. but that always happens. it was shut all night, as usual.when i awoke in the early morning i felt hot and dirty, and glad that the journey was reaching its end. at seven minutes past nine the flying bluebird stopped. we were at mendova, and i stood up thankfully. i took my two suitcases, held one in each hand, and tried to move towards the door into the corridor. in order to get out of the train, i had to pass down the corridor to the door at the far end. there was no other way out. i could not even into the corridor. there was a suitcase on the floor by my feet, and three men were standing in my way. i felt a touch of fear. i had to get out, you see; i had to catch my ship, which left at half past eleven. and the train did not stop again until it reached endoran, two hundred miles away. “i must get out!” i cried. everyone there understood me, but no one could move.at last i was able to put one foot over the suitcase on the floor, and i nearly reached the door into the corridor. but then, very slowly, the train began to move. it was taking me away!“stop!” i cried. “i want to get out!” but no one outside the train could hear me, and the people inside did not care much. the train moved a little faster. what could i do? i was not even in the corridor. fear made me think quickly. in front of my eyes, just, above the door, was a notice that told everyone how to stop the train. i had to pull an iron thing near the notice. i did not waste time. i pulled it.well, a noise started above our heads. that was to show everyone that there was something wrong. it was not a small sound. possibly the men in my ship two miles away could hear it. then the train stopped.no one likes to stop a train if there is no need. but i had to catch my ship. that was the only thought in my mind: to get out and catch my ship. 15. the purpose of the author writing the first paragraph is to _. a. answer some questions b. express some unusual feelings c. arouse the readers curiosityd. give some advice in advance16. what do we know about the author and the man sitting next to him?

actually happiness means different things to different people. for example, an athlete will be happy winning his first race. for a new mother happiness would be seeing her babys first steps. happiness for a poor person would mean having a meal just for today. so happiness for you is really something simple that you want for yourself. it really doesnt have to be big. as a matter of fact you should always have realistic expectations. make the best out of every given situation. if you expect a certain result from a situation and it does not happen, dont get despondent. this just means trying harder next time. we all have in us the power to succeed. dont let “ give up ” be a part of your vocabulary.50.by saying “to err is human”, the author means that_. a. human beings should try to avoid(避免) making mistakes b. no one is perfect(完美的) and everyone makes mistakes c. mistakes and failures make up our lif d. human beings make mistakes easily51. whats the main idea of paragraph 2?
