苏州市2014高考英语阅读理解、完形填空及阅读类训练（7）（答案及解析）阅读理解words：327难度系数：建议用时：7分钟a tent can be one of the more costly items on your camping equipment shopping list.it is definitely something that you need to consider carefully.by seeing the tent for real you will be able to get a better impression of its size and construction in the traditional shop.however，the downside is that，unless you are experienced，you may miss out some of the details that the manufacturers promotional material makes clear.cheap tents often look similar to the quality models they are mimicking (模仿)，but you can be sure that they use inferior(次的) materials and probably have lower design standards.shop staff are often campers themselves.that means they usually can give lots of advice.if a shop assistant agrees with your own conclusions，that will be great；if they try to change your decision with a clear and reasonable argument，then that will be worth considering；if they just try to bamboozle(欺骗)，or even bully，you then walk away.the internet is a wonderful tool，and so long as you know how to make the most of search engines and put in a little effort，you really have the perfect answer waiting to be found.that answer will be different for every camper as each of us has different needs.dont be surprised to see your favourite criticized somewhere，but if you see too much criticism，then you had better start thinking again.no problem.you wont have spent anything yet，so think of it positively as a large expense saved.probably the best approach，if you have the time，is to research tents online and make a short list.then try to inspect those tents at nearby shops.then you can make a final decision on where to buy your chosen model based purely on total cost.1when you go camping what you should consider most

thought her family had a workable plan to pay for college for her 21yearold twin sons: a combination of savings, income, scholarships, and a modest amount of borrowing. then her husband lost his job, and the plan fell apart.“i have two kids in college, and i want to say come home， but at the same time i want to provide them with a good education，” says jacobs.the jacobs family did work out a solution: they asked and received more aid from the schools, and each son increased his borrowing to the maximum amount through the federal loan (贷款) program. they will each graduate with $20,000 of debt, but at least they will be able to finish school.with unemployment rising, financial aid administrators expect to hear from more families like the jacobses.more students are applying for aid, and more families expect to need student loans. college administrators are concerned that they will not have enough aid money to go around.at the same time, tuition(学费)continues to rise. a report from the national center for public policy and higher education found that college tuition and fees increased 439% from 1982 to 2007, while average family income rose just 147%. student borrowing has more than doubled in the last decade.“if we go on this way for another 25 years, we wont have an affordable system of higher education，” says patrick m. callan, president of the center. “the middleclass families have been financing it through debt. they will send kids to college whatever it takes, even if that means a huge amount of debt.”financial aid administrators have been having a hard time as many companies decide that student loans are not profitable enough and have stopped making them. the good news, however, is that federal loans account for about three quarters of student borrowing, and the government says that money will flow uninterrupted.1. according to paragraph 1，why did the plan of the jacobs family fail?athe twins wasted too much money.bthe father was out of work.ctheir savings ran out.dthe family fell apart.2how did the jacobses manage to solve their problem?athey asked their kids to come home.bthey borrowed $20,000 from the schools.cthey encouraged their twin sons

for college students*结束four out of ten women who diet end up heavier than when they started watching their waistline(腰围), a study revealed today. the research also showed that a large percentage of women started noticing the pounds creeping back on just 21 days after reaching their ideal weight.yesterday, dr ian campbell of the jenny craig weight management program said: “in the uk 61.4 per cent of adults are overweight or obese. successful weight management requires a longterm commitment in order to lose weight successfully and for good. dieting can be a real challenge so setting realistic goals and remaining focused on them is important. otherwise as this research shows, women could end up heavier than when they started.”the “food, body, mind” report was publicized by jenny craig who quizzed 2,000 women aged between 18 and 65 who diet regularly on their attitudes, beliefs and behaviors around weight loss. six in ten said they were on a diet then and one in five women said they were on a “continuous diet”it found the most common triggers to start dieting was seeing their “reflection in the mirror”， preparing for a summer holiday or unflattering photos posted on social networking sites. other popular reasons include comments by friends or relatives or their other half.however, the study showed that one in ten give up within one day, while almost a fifth manage to make it to a week or more. the average is ten days. many blamed pressure they put on themselves to lose weight too quickly for the weight gain, which leaves them with a bigger appetite than normal. others blamed colleagues, who tuck into fatty lunches and snacks unaware of the effect it has on the dieter, while mothers who polish off their childrens leftovers(剩饭)was another common cause of weight gain.1which of the following might be the best title for this article?athree reasons to fail in dietingbimportant things for successful diet cobesitya problem for 61.4% adults in the ukdfour in

little and smoking can raise your future risk of heart disease. but there is another factor that can cause your heart problems more immediately: the air you breathe.previous studies have linked high exposure(暴露)to environmental pollution to an increased risk of heart problems, but two analyses now show that poor air quality can lead to heart attack or stroke (中风) within as little as a few hours after exposure. in one review of the research, scientists found that people exposed to high levels of pollutants (污染)were up to 5% more likely to suffer a heart attack within days of exposure than those with lower exposure. a separate study of stroke patients showed that even air that the u. s. environmental protection agency (epa) considers to be of moderate (良好) quality and relatively safe for our health can raise the risk of stroke as much as 34% within 12 to 14 hours of exposure.the authors of both studies stress that these risks are relatively small for healthy people and certainly modest compared with other risk factors such as smoking and high blood pressure. however, it is important to be aware of these dangers because everyone is exposed to air pollution regardless of lifestyle choices. so stricter regulation by the epa of pollutants may not only improve environmental air quality but could also become necessary to protect public health.53.the text mainly discusses
