the tour C It begins from Marina Bay Sands and goes towards Benjamin Sheares Bridge D On the tour you can see Helix Bridge which looks like our DNA structure B B Why do Americans struggle with watching their weight while the French who consume rich food continue to stay thin Now a research by Cornell University suggests how life style and decisions about eating may affect weight Researchers concluded that the French tend to stop eating when they feel full However Americans tend to stop when their plate is empty or their favorite TV show is over According to Dr Joseph Mercola a health expert the French see eating as an important part of their life style They enjoy food and therefore spend a fairly long time at the table while Americans see eating as something to be squeezed between the other daily activities Mercola believes Americans lose the ability to sense when they are actually full So they keep eating long after the French would have stopped In addition he points out that Americans drive to huge supermarkets to buy canned and frozen foods for the week The French instead tend to shop daily walking to small shops and farmers markets where they have a choice of fresh fruits vegetables and eggs as well as high quality meats for each meal After a visit to the United States Mireille Guiliano author of French Women Don t Get Fat decided to write about the importance of knowing when to stop rather than suggesting how to avoid food Today she continues to stay slim and rarely goes to the gym In spite of all these differences evidence shows that recent life style changes may be affecting French eating habits Today the rate of obesity or extreme overweight among adults is only 6 However as American fast food gains acceptance and the young reject older traditions the obesity rate among French children has reached 17 and is growing 24 In what way are the French different from Americans according to Dr Joseph Mercola A They go shopping at supermarkets more frequently B They squeeze eating between the other daily activities C They regard eating as a key part of their lifestyles D They usually eat too much canned and frozen food 25 This text is mainly the relationship between A Americans and the French B life style and obesity C children and adults D fast food and overweight 26 The text is mainly developed A by comparison B by space C by process D by classification 分类 27 Where does this text probably come from A A TV interview B A food advertisement C A health report D A book review C C Nicolai Calabria has already become one of the best 106 pound wrestlers He has successfully climbed to the top of the highest mountain in Africa and most importantly he s changed the attitude of any normal person who watches him compete The 17 year old teenager has one leg He was born that way but his goal is to show it s not the one thing that defines him He would also be the first one to tell you that he just wants to prove to others and himself that he s just like other normal ones 4 When Calabria was young his parents tried different prostheses 假肢 to find out which was most comfortable for their son as he tried to keep up with the family who has a preference for sports At first the Calabrias had their middle child in a prosthesis that looked and functioned like a real leg but soon they decided to choose a different path when they found it wasn t beneficial to his movement Then the family moved him to arm crutches 手杖 and from there a new burst of energy was found Getting others to believe that he could take off on the soccer field took a little bit longer When the Calabrias moved to Concord they had a hard time persuading the town soccer team to allow a child like him to compete with able bodied kids After months and months of debates and meetings the family received the answer they were looking for Since then witnessing a young man on crutches who competes against those with two legs has become a fixed event in the Concord community At that time I had nothing but discouragement working with the soccer community however now I have nothing but admiration for the fact that he s been allowed to play and people see that he adds value to game his father said I just think it s a great result 28 This passage shows us a boy with one leg A can do what a normal teenager can B is realizing as many dreams as he can C can make a sport event more valuable D can add value to society 29 We can learn from Paragraph 5 that A Calabria proved to be the most excellent player of the team B it was not easy for Calabria to be accepted to the town soccer team C Calabria s parents didn t allow him to play soccer at first D there are some other disabled children in the soccer team 30 In Paragraph 5 the underlined part probably means A a must see B a planned programme C an extra game D a special occasion 31 It is implied in the last paragraph that Nicolai s father A has been discouraged since Nicolai played soccer B thinks that Nicolai is playing a key role in the team C is very delighted that Nicolai can play soccer in the team D hasn t expected that Nicolai can be allowed to play soccer D D Everywhere I look outside my home I see people busy on their high tech devices 装置 while driving walking shopping even sitting in toilets When connected electronically they are away from physical reality People have been influenced to become technology addicted One survey reported that addicted was the word most commonly used by people to describe their relationship to iPad and similar devices One study found that people had a harder time resisting the allure of social media than they did for sleep cigarettes and alcohol The main goal of technology companies is to get people to spend more money and time on their products not to actually improve our quality of life They have successfully created a cultural disease Consumers willingly give up their freedom money and time to catch up on the latest information to keep pace with their peers or to appear modern I see people trapped in a flu like relationship with time sucking technology where they 5 serve technology more than technology serves them I call this technology servitude I am referring to a loss of personal freedom and independence because of uncontrolled consumption of many kinds of devices that eat up time and money What is a healthy use of technology devices That is the vital question Who is really in charge of my life That is what people need to ask themselves if we are to have any chance of breaking up false beliefs about their use of technology When we can live happily without using so much technology for a day or a week then we can regain control and personal freedom become the master of technology and discover what there is to enjoy in life free of technology Mae West is famous for claiming the wisdom that Too much of a good thing is wonderful But it s time to discover that it does not work for technology Richard Fernandez a former CEO at Google acknowledged that we can be swept away by our technologies To break the grand digital connection people must consider how life long ago could be fantastic without today s overused technology 32 The underlined word allure in Paragraph 2 probably means A advantage B attraction C adaptation D attempt 33 From the passage technology companies aim to A attract people to buy their products B provide the latest information C improve people s quality of life D deal with cultural diseases 34 It can be inferred from this passage that people A consider too much technology wonderful B have realized the harm of high tech devices C can regain freedom without high tech devices D may enjoy life better without overused technology 35 What s the author s attitude towards the overusing of high tech devices A Objective B Positive C Disapproving D Sympathetic 第 2 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 注意 此七选五题按要求涂在卡上 选
