By eating these foods, people began to get fatter and sicker. David Tilman says overweight people are at greater risk for non-infectious diseases like diabetes(糖尿病)and heart disease. Unfortunately when people become industrialized, if they adopt this Western diet, they are going to have these health problems, especially in developing countries in Asia. China is an example where the number of diabetes cases has been jumping from less than one percent to 10 percent of the population as they began to industrialize over a 20-year period. And that is happening all across the world, in Mexico, in Nigeria and so on.And, a diet bad for human beings, is also bad for the environment. As the worlds population grows, more forests and tropical(热带的)areas will become farmlands for crops or grasslands for cattle. We are likely to have more greenhouse gas in the future from agriculture than that coming out of all forms of transportation right now.Mr. Tilman calls the link between the diet, the environment and human health, “a trilemma ”a problem offering a difficult choice. He says one possible solution is leaving the Western diet behind.【语篇导读】自然杂志上一篇新的报告指出,西方饮食对人的健康和环境有不良影响,人们应警惕西方饮食带来的危害。21.According to the passage, more greenhouse gas might be given off in the future from .A. transportationB. developing countriesC. agricultureD. developed countries答案:C解析:细节理解题。根据倒数第二段的最后一句“We are likely to have more greenhouse gas in the future from agriculture than that coming out of all forms of transportation right now”可知,未来更多的温室气体排放可能来自于农业,故选C项。22.David Tilman believes that .A. the diet, the environment and human health are closely connectedB. the Western diet is the only choice as the nation industrializesC. people in tropical areas are more likely to have heart diseaseD. traditional diets are more balanced than the Western diet答案:A解析:推理判断题。根据最后一段的第一句“Mr. Tilman calls the link between the diet, the environment and human health.a difficult choice”可知,Tilman先生把日常饮食、环境和人的健康之间的联系称为三难困境。由此可知,它们三个是紧密相关的,故选A项。23.We can infer from the passage that . A. Nigeria has the largest number of diabetes casesB. overweight people are at higher risk of infectious diseasesC. the examined information comes from developing countriesD. industrialization contributes to the spread of the Western diet答案:D解析:推理判断题。根据第二段的最后一句“He found that as nations industrialized, population increased and earnings rose, more people began to adopt what has been called the Western diet”可推知,工业化、人口增长和收入增加造成了西方饮食的传播,故D项正确。24.The main purpose of the passage is to .A. call on us to protect the environmentB. warn us of the danger of the Western dietC. remind us of the importance of healthD. advise us to have a balanced diet答案:B解析:写作意图题。综合全文,尤其是根据文章最后一段的最后一句可知,西方饮食有害健康,不利于环境,故作者是想通过该文让人们警惕西方饮食带来的危害。BHave you ever seen a talking parrot on TV or in someones home? Parrots have learned to copy the sounds that people make. But birds are not the only animals that can copy the sounds they hear. Dolphins, bats, and some apes can also copy sounds. Now researches have found that elephants can also copy the sounds around them.Dr. Thane is a zoologist. She has many researches in the sounds of elephants. When she was in Ohio, she often heard some strange noises made by Malika after sunset. Malika was a 10-year-old African elephant.Malika lived near a highway. Dr. Thane says, “I could not tell the difference between Malikas call and the distant trucks noise.” She and other scientists studied Malikas sounds. It turned out that Malika was copying the sounds of the trucks going by. Why would Malika copy trucks which she heard going by on the highway? After copying the new sounds, animals may enjoy practicing them. When they are kept outside of their natural environment, they may copy unusual sounds. That may be why an elephant can copy the sound of trucks.“Malika was not the only elephant that can copy other sounds,” Dr. Thane says. Camero is a 24-year-old male African elephant. He spent 15 years with two female Asian elephants. Asian elephants can make chirping sounds (sounds made by birds) to talk with one another. African elephants usually do not make chirping sounds. But Camero now does. He is copying his Asian elephant friends. Dr. Thane says that elephants need to form bonds with their family and friends. She says, “They make sounds to communicate with each other. When they are separated, they use sounds to keep in contact.”The finding that the parrot, dolphins, humans, and elephants can learn to copy other sounds shows that copying is one way that animals and people make new friends and keep old ones.【语篇导读】这是一篇说明文。鹦鹉可以学舌,其他动物也可以吗?研究发现海豚、蝙蝠、一些猿,还有大象等许多动物都可以做到。25.According to the passage, what did Malika copy?A. The sound of trucks.B. The sound of people.C. The sound of Camero.D. The sound of birds.答案:A解析:细节理解题。根据第三段内容可知,Malika所模仿的是卡车的声音。26.Why is Camero mentioned in the passage?A. To introduce a special skill of Asian elephants.B. To show the cleverness of African elephants.C. To clarify the meaning of the elephants copying sound.D. To add another example of the elephants copying sound.答案:D解析:推理判断题。文章前面重点说明了大象Malika可以模仿声音,此处提出Camero的例子进一步说明大象可以模仿声音。27.From Paragraph 4,we can know .A. how Asian and African elephants are alikeB. why the Asian elephants make noises after sunsetC. why Camero can make chirping soundsD. how long it takes for an elephant to learn a new sound答案:C解析:推理判断题。根据第四段中Dr. Thane所说的话可知答案。28.According to the passage, why do some animals like to copy other sounds?A. To keep in harmony with nature.B. To please people and other animals.C. To keep in touch with each other or make friends.D. To avoid the danger from the outside world.答案:C解析:推理判断题。阅读全文,尤其倒数第二段最后两句不难看出,一些动物模仿声音用以和同伴取得联系。CAt first glance, Ronny looked like every other kid in the first-grade classroom where I volunteered as the Reading Mom. However, he arrived at school dirty every morning, and along with his outward appearance, Ronny stood apart from his classmates in other ways, too. His home was a mess and his parents never settled in one place. He had yet to live a full year in any one place.Every time when it was Ronnys turn to read, he would sit close to me. I watched his fingers move slowly under each letter as he struggled to sound out “Bud the Sub.”It sounded more like “Baw Daw Saw” when he said it because of his speech impediment and his difficulty with the alphabet.The year passed quickly and Ronny had made some progress but hardly enough to bring him up to grade level. A few weeks before the school year ended, I held an award ceremony. It took me a while to figure out where Ronny fit; I needed something positive, but there wasnt really much. I finally decided on “Most Improved Reader.”I presented Ronny with his certificate and a book.A few days later, I returned to the school to visit. I saw Ronny read the book. His teacher appeared beside me.“He hasnt put that book down since you gave it to him. Its the first book hes ever actually owned.”Fighting back tears, I approached Ronny and asked, “Will you read me your book, Ronny?”He glanced up and nodded.And then, for the next few minutes, he read to me with more expression, clarity, and ease than Id ever thought possible for him. When he finished reading, Ronny closed his book and said with great satisfaction, “Good book.”At that moment, I knew I would get serious about my own writing career and do what that author had done, and probably still doescare enough to write a story that changes a childs life, care enough to make a difference.I want to be that author.【语篇导读】本文是记叙文。作者是一名作家,她志愿去一所学校帮助一年级的学生提高阅读能力。在此期间,一个名叫Ronny的小学生让作者感受到了自己写作的意义。29.The underlined word “impediment” in Paragraph 2 probably means .A. styleB. anxietyC. disabilityD. technique答案:C解析:词义猜测题。根据第二段中的“he struggled to sound out Bud the Sub. It sounded more like Baw Daw Saw”及“his difficulty with the alphabet”可知,Ronny读不清单词,认字母也费劲,由此可推测,Ronny有言语障碍,即在言语这方面“缺乏能力”。30.The author gave a book to Ronny because .A. she wanted to encourage RonnyB. Ronny had made great progressC. she knew Ronny didnt have any booksD. the book could help Ronny improve his reading答案:A解析:推理判断题。根据第三段内容,尤其是“I needed something positive”可推测,作者给Ronny颁发了“最佳进步读者奖”并送了他一本书是为了鼓励他。31.How did the author feel when Ronny read the book to her?A. Proud and curious.B. Moved and surprised.C. Satisfied and relieved.D. Confident and excited.答案:B解析:推理判断题。根据第五段中的“Fighting back tears”可知,作者是带着感动的心情去听Ronny给她读书;再根据倒数第三段中的“he read to me with more expression, clarity, and ease than Id ever thought possible for him”可知,作者没想到Ronny能读得那么好,由此可推测,Ronny的进步让作者有些惊讶。DHillsborough Middle School in New Jersey banned energy drinks from the campus at the start of the summer. Joe Trybulski, headmaster of the school, said that the decision wasnt a difficult one.“Using drinks containing caffeine can do harm to your learning,” he said.Energy drinks like Red Bull and Spike Shooter are popular with kids, even kids as young as 10 or 12 because theyre super-sweet and they give you a lift. Theyre advertised by sports starsfrom famous football and basketball players to well-known names in extreme sports like snowboarding or skateboarding.The energy drink industry denies that they sell directly to children. They claim that $2-$4 cost per can makes energy drinks too expensive for kids, and theyre aimed at adults. Not only that, they say, most energy drinks have less caffeine than coffee.“Are you going to start carding kids at coffee houses and candy shops?” asked one manager.“We cant imagine why a school would ban Red Bull from campus,” says another, a spokeswoman for Red Bull.To make a comparison, a cup of coffee contains about 95 milligrams(毫克) of caffeine. An 8.3 ounce can of Red Bull contains 75 milligrams, more than twice the amount of caffeine in a 12 ounce can of Coca Cola.Its interesting to note that not that long ago, coffee was considered strictly an adult drink. Times have changed, and now researchers say that theres no clear proof that energy drinks and caffeine harm children, but its certain that caffeine tends to affect children more than adults. Too much caffeine is a far smaller amount for a 110 pound 12 year old boy than it is for a 175 pound adult man. And children, say health experts, get into a harmful cycle with energy drinks when they drink them in the morning to wake up after having trouble falling asleep the night before.【语篇导读】这一篇说明文。文章介绍了Hillsborough中学在校园里禁售能量饮料的情况,并说明了禁售的原因和社会反应。32.Why do kids like Red Bulls or Spike Shooters?A. They like sweet drinks that make them feel excited.B. They like play basketball and football as well.C. These drinks are not expensive for them.D. They know these drinks very well from TV.答案:A解析:细节理解题。文章第三段说明了孩子们喜欢喝红牛等饮料的原因“theyre super-sweet and they give you a lift”,饮料很甜,能给人提神。故选A项。33.What is suggested in Paragraph 4?A. The school will record kids names if they visit coffee houses.B. The energy drink industry thinks it wrong to ban their drinks in schools. C. Children cant get the Red Bull directly from the sellers.D. Red Bull contains less caffeine and is a healthier drink.答案:B解析:推理判断题。能量饮料公司的人认为红牛饮料的咖啡因含量低于咖啡,他们认为将红牛饮料驱逐出校园是不可思议的。由此判断,答案选B项。34.What can be the best title of the passage?A. Energy Drinks Contain Harmful Caffeine.B. Study Shows Coffee Has the Most Caffeine.C. School Bans Energy Drinks from the Campus.D. Different Opinions on the Ban of Energy Drinks on Campus.答案:D解析:主旨大意题。文章介绍了Hillsborough中学在校园里禁售能量饮料的情况,并说明了禁售的原因和社会反应。故D项正确。35.What is the purpose of the author to write the last paragraph?A. To tell the readers that energy drinks are not harmful to children.B. To prove that children were once forbidden to drink coffee.C. To show his concern about caffeine that is harmful to children.D. To tell us to pay attention to children who have trouble falling asleep.答案:C解析:推理判断题。文章最后一段的重点是咖啡里的咖啡因对孩子们的影响。作者认为可卡因对孩子们的影响大于成人,另外,孩子们喝咖啡易于使他们陷入睡眠的恶性循环。由此判断,作者很担心孩子们受到咖啡因的影响的。故选C项。第二节 （共5小题，每小题2分，满分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，选项中有两项为多余选项。Tips for writing the college essayWhile some high school seniors begin to enjoy writing their college essay, others fail to see the importance of it.36. Creating the college essay is supposed to be a fun, and exciting task. It is a process of self-discovery. Some helpful tips:1.Have fun!37. Relax, breathe and realize that this is the time to expose a side of you that a transcript(学生成绩单) cannot.2.38. The worst thing you can do is pick and ordinary topic. Stay away from volunteer work, your dead dog and vacations. Admission counselors(入学辅导员) see thousands of essays a month; make sure your essay is distinct to your experience and personality. Do not focus on what you think they want you to write, but what is actually significant to you.3.Dont try to make yourself a victim. Although it is effective to appeal to the emotions of an admission counselor, I do not recommend writing an essay about sad stories. Self-pity can be annoying, and most admission counselors do not want that to be their first impression of you. The only exception to this is if you have an inspiring struggle that you overcame.39.4.Your essay is not a longer version of your resume(简历).If you sent in a resume, there is absolutely no need to restate what is on it. Many students like bragging(吹嘘) about how much they do. It is amazing that you are involved, but admission counselors do not only want to hear about how much you do, especially if they already see this on your resume.40.Good luck on your college essay!A. It was received well by many.B. Dont settle for basicbe creative!C. When you get upset, it is reflected in your work.D. You can talk about how a work changed your life.E. They want to see aspects of you that cannot be shown on a resume.F. In some cases, these 600 words determine an acceptance or a rejection.G. Make sure that the story is focused on your growth, not on the struggle.答案与解析:【语篇导读】本文是说明文。文章是写大学申请论文的几点建议。36.F解析:F项与上文的see the importance of it相呼应。37.C解析:C项与本段小标题及下文的Relax, breathe相呼应,说明学生要让自己在心情好的情况下写大学申请论文,并从中找到乐趣。38.B解析:由下文的“The worst thing you can do is pick an ordinary topic.but what is actually significant to you.”可知,本段主要是说大学申请论文的内容要避免老套的话题,应该体现自己的独特性。故B项恰当。39.G解析:G项与上文的“have an inspiring struggle that you overcame”相呼应。40.E解析:E项与上文的“admission counselors do not only want to hear about how much you do, especially if they already see this on your resume.”相呼应
