man has at last plucked up courage to invite a dazzling young lady out to dinner. she has accepted his invitation and he is overjoyed. he is determined to take her to the best restaurant in town, even if it means that he will have to live on memories and hopes during the month to come. when they get to the restaurant, he discovers that this beautiful creature is on a diet. she mustnt eat this and she mustnt drink that. oh, but of course, she doesnt want to spoil his enjoyment. let him by all means eat as much fattening food as he wants: its the surest way to an early grave. they spend a truly memorable evening together and never see each other again.what a miserable lot dieters are! you can always recognize them from the sour expression on their faces. they spend most of their time turning their noses up at food. they are forever consulting calorie charts; gazing at themselves in mirrors; and leaping on to weighing-machines in the bathroom. they spend a lifetime fighting a losing battle against spreading hips, bigger tummies（肚子） and double chins. some declare all-out war on fat. mere dieting is not enough. they exhaust themselves doing exercises, sweating in sauna baths, being massaged by weird machines. the really wealthy pay vast sums for “health cures”. for two weeks they can enter a nature clinic and be starved to death for a hundred dollars a week. dont think its only the middle-aged who go in for these fashions either. many of these bright young things you see are living on nothing but air, water and the goodwill of god.dieters undertake to starve themselves of their own free will; so why are they so miserable? well, for one thing, theyre always hungry. you cant be hungry and happy at the same time. all the horrible foods they eat leave them permanently dissatisfied. “wonderfood is a complete food”, the advertisement says. “just dissolve(溶解) a teaspoonful in water”. a complete food it may be, but not quite as complete as a juicy steak. and, of course, theyre always miserable because they feel so guilty. hunger just proves too much for them and in the end they may rush to eat five huge cream cakes at a time. and who can blame them? at least three times a day they are exposed to temptation. what torture（折磨） it is always watching others swallowing piles of mouth-watering food while you only have a water biscuit and sip unsweetened lemon juice!whats all this torture for? saintly people keep themselves away from food to achieve a state of grace. unsaintly people do so to achieve a state of misery. it will be a great day when all the dieters in the world abandon their slimming courses; when they hold out their plates and demand second helpings!1.which of the following would the writer most probably agree with?a. new ways of controlling weight are needed.b. we should all have second helpings and grow fat.c. many diseases are connected with overweight.d. trying to be slim is not an excuse for suffering.2. how did the boy and the girl most probably feel after the night?a. excited.b. awkward.c. nervous.d. hurt.3.according to the writer, which of the following are all typical dieters? weighs himself three times a day eats five huge cream cakes at a time always checks calorie charts has expensive yet nutritious meals every week has big tummies and double chins takes sauna bathsa. b. c. d. 4. why might the boy have

and share the good memories.d. he knew he would have no living expense for the next month. 5.what is the writers attitude towards diet?a. supportive .b. critical.c. doubtful.d. uninterested.参考答案1-5 dbcdb*结束the trip to the united stated opened my eyes to the fact that there are a lot of similarities as well as differences between american youth and french youth. the first difference is in appearance. going around in the u.s., i found that american youth do not really care about their appearance. in the morning, they choose something in their closet and wear it with another thing, often of different colors and styles, without wondering whether their choices make them look strange. the reason behind this is that they dont care what people look like, but are just interested in their ideas. i think its great, but it also causes problems. since they dont care about their appearance, they dont really care about their weight. often they get fat without realizing it.there are differences in relationships too. when the american youth fall in love, they dont really think of the future. also, there are differences in the rules concerning behavior that is allowed. in some respects, the french are more accepting. for example, in america it is generally unacceptable to make physical display of love. lovers, in theory, cant kiss or hold each other everywhere they want. people think that not showing love in public places is a way to respect others. on the contrary, the french youth can do almost everything they want.with regard to other types of relationships, there are also big differences. americans act differently from french people in front of unknown people. when an american girl, for example, arrives in front of people she has never met before, she will talk with them, trying to create a kind of bond between her and this new circle of people. the french girls will just think about rather than really do this kind of thing because they are too shy and lacking in self-confidence.to finish, i noticed that in american classes, when pupils want to say or ask something, they just do it. in general, they dont really care how the others will judge them. in france, its not the same case. if somebody wants to ask something, he/she will think about it before speaking up. i appreciate the freedom in americans behavior, ideas, and ways of expressing themselves.5. american young people _.a. are just interested in peoples clothes b. show more interest in peoples ideas c. care more about their weight d. are more concerned about appearance6. when american youth fall in love with each other, they _.a. will not hold each other.kb. will always think about their futurec. will rarely display their love in publicd. will kiss wherever they like7. when meeting with strangers, american girls will not _.a. try to establish a type of relationship with them b. have faith in themselves c. start to create a conversation d. behave in a way similar to french girls8. it can be inferred from the passage that french youth may think more about _. a. their relationships future b. their public images c. their physical displays d. their lovers ideas9. the passage is mainly about the_ between american youth and french youth. a. similarities b. friendship c. differences d. differences and the similarities5. b. 据第二段的but are just interested in their ideas.6. c. 据第三段的in america it is generally unacceptable to make physical display of love.7. d. 据第四段for example后的内容8. a. 第三段前2句可推知9. c. 主旨题*结束 阅读下列材料，从每题所给的四个选项（a、b、c和d）中，选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。aany foreigner who has tried to learn chinese can tell how hard it is to master the tones required to speak and understand. and anyone who has tried to learn to play the violin or other instruments can report similar challenges.now researchers have found that people with musical training have an easier time learning chinese. writing in the online edition of nature neuroscience，researchers from northwestern university say that both skills draw on the same parts of the brain that help people discover changes in pitch(音调)one of the studys authors，nina kraus，said the findings suggested that studying music “actually tunes our sensory system”this means that schools that want children to do well in languages should hesitate before cutting music programs，dr.kraus said. she said music training might also help children with language problems.mandarin(普通话)speakers have been shown to have a more complex encoding(编码) of pitch patterns in their brains than english speakers do. this is because in mandarin and other asian languages，pitch plays a central role. a singlesy
