own“独自”，符合语境。17b。全家人一起吃饭会传达有关营养方面的正确的信息(messages)。18c。孩子们看见他们的父母吃健康的食物就很有可能受到鼓励去尝试(try)新的食物。19b。孩子们会把吃饭的时间视为用来交际和分享的时光。see.as“把视为”，符合语境。20d。此处表示父母借机给孩子们提供有营养的食物。阅读理解。阅读下列短文, 从给的四个选项 (a、b、c和d) 中, 选出最佳选项。 imagine looking for your lost dog. you step into a cave. but instead of the dog, you find beautiful cave paintings. you see paintings of horses, deer, and bison drawn in black, brown, red and yellow. your first question would probably be“who did this? ”this is what happened to four french boys in 1940. they found the lascaux caves. the paintings the boys discovered in those caves are about 17, 000 years old. they were drawn by the ancient people called cro-magnon(克鲁马努人). cro-magnons looked much like people of today. they used tools, such as fishing nets. but their art was extremely good. the main cave at lascaux is called great hall of bulls, which has a picture of bulls and horses in many colours. the largest animal is 18 feet long. there are smaller animals, such as bison, stags and a bear. there is also a strange spotted two-horned(两只角的)animal. to the left of the main cave are the most famous paintings that are the drawings of animals in many different colours. one painting is called little horses. on the ceiling are horses and cows. the most unusual sight may be in the shaft of the dead man where there is a rhinoceros, a carefully drawn dead man, an injured bison and a bird. why did cro-magnon artists do these beautiful drawings on cave walls? did the drawings call upon some magic power? did the cro-magnon people hope that the drawings would bring good luck? there is one thing the paintings seem to tell us. the cro-magnons were interested in the world. they looked at beauty and they understood it. 【文章大意】本文介绍了法国lascaux岩洞壁画的相关情况。1. the author uses the word“you”in paragraph 1 to. a. attract readers attentionb. make it clear that this is a true storyc. give readers good directions to find the cavesd. compare modern people with cro-magnon

science newspaperd. a travel guide【解析】选b。推理判断题。本文主要介绍了法国lascaux岩洞内的壁画。这些古老的壁画本身就是宝贵的文化遗产, 因此本文最有可能来自文化方面的杂志。阅读下列短文，从每题所给的a、b、c和d项中，选出最佳选项。the $ 11 billion self help industry is built on the idea that you should turn negative thoughts like “ i never do anything right” into positive ones like “i can succeed.” but was positive thinking advocate norman vincent peale right? is there power in positive thinking?researchers in canada just published a study in the journal psychological science that says trying to get people to think more positively can actually have the opposite effect: it can simply stress how unhappy they are.the studys authors, joanne wood and john lee of the university of waterloo and elaine perunovic of the university of new brunswick, begin by citing older research showing that when people get feedback which they believe is too positive, they actually feel worse, not better. if you tell your stupid friend that he has the potential of an einstein, youre just underlining his faults. in one 1990s experiment, a team including psychologist joel cooper of princeton asked participants to write essays opposing funding for the disabled. when the authors were later praised for their sympathy, they felt even worse about what they had written.in this experiment, wood, lee and perunovic measured 68 students self-respect. the participants were then asked to write down their thoughts and feelings for four minutes. every 15 seconds, one group of students heard a bell. when it rang, they were supposed to tell themselves, i am lovable.those with low self-respect didnt feel better after the forced self-affirmation(自我肯定). in fact, their moods turned significantly darker than those of members of the control group, who werent urged to think positive thoughts.the paper provides support for newer forms of psychotherapy (心理治疗) that urge people to accept their negative thoughts and feelings rather than fight them. in the fighting, we not only often fail but can make things worse. instead, meditation (静思) techniques can teach people to put their shortcomings into a larger, more realistic way. call it the power of negative thinking.41. what do we learn from the first paragraph about the self-help industry? a. it was established by norman vincent peale. b. it is a highly profitable industry. c. it is based on the concept of positive thinking.d. it has provided positive results.【答案】c【解析】细节理解题。原文定位于首段第一句“the $ 11 billion self-help industry is built on the idea that you should turn negative thoughts like “i never do anything right”into positive ones like “i can succeed.”选项中的based on与文中的built on同义。42. what is the finding of the canadian researchers? a. there can be no simple treatment for psychological problems. b. the power of positive thinking is limited. c. unhappy people cannot think positively.d. encouraging positive thinking may do more harm than good.【答案】d 【解析】原文定位为第二段：“researchers in canada just published a study in the journal psychological science that says trying to get people to think more positively can actually have opposite effect;”之后，作者在下一段又再次强调了这一观点“older research showing that
