本文为说明文。失业除了会给经济带来影响外，还可能会导致肥胖、高血压等一系列健康问题。1. 答案 c解析 考查动词。由首句中的being unemployed for a long period is bad for your health可知，此处说明的对象是失业，故此处填losing。2. 答案 a解析 考查名词。由空前的a drop in life expectancy，可知此处说明的是失业带来的负面影响，故用a rise in psychological problems与之对应。3. 答案 b解析 考查形容词。形容比率时，用high或者low，此处用higher与语境long-term unemployed相呼应。4. 答案 d解析 考查动词。此处为which引导的非限制性定语从句，which指代for the long term . several dangerous health problems，此处suggest的意思是“暗示；表明”，故选d项。5. 答案 a解析 考查动词。主语the numbers与release之间存在动宾关系，故用过去分词作定语修饰the numbers。此处表示由gallup发布的数字。release“公开；公布”，符合语境。6. 答案 c解析 考查形容词。此处主语指人，所以只能用likely。possible, impossible和probable充当表语时，句子主语必须是表物的名词或代词，或是形式主语it。7. 答案 d解析 考查形容词。由下文中的some unemployed people . others .可知可能有多种因素，故multiple“多重的；多样的”符合语境。8. 答案 c解析 考查情态动词。由下文中的but others may have existing health issues，可知此处也应是一种猜测。9. 答案 b解析 考查动词。此处表示现存的健康问题使得他们很难找到或者保住工作。cause后不可接形容词作宾补，lead, solve也无此用法。10. 答案 a解析 考查名词。此处表示现存的健康问题使得他们很难找到或保住工作。11. 答案 d解析 考查名词。由下文的语境可知，此处是说短期失业人群的肥胖率与长期失业人群的肥胖率存在差异。12. 答案 b解析 考查动词搭配。此处表示那些在两周内没有工作而勉强生活的人。go without“没有而勉强应付”。13. 答案 a解析 考查名词。由下文中的63 percent，可知此处是指失业率，因此用rate。14. 答案 c解析 考查连词。此处表示劳工部最新报道的失业率是63，尽管失业率现在不是相当有用的指标。因此前后句之间为让步关系。15. 答案 d解析 考查名词。此处表示失业率现在不是相当有用的指标。indicator“指示信号；标志”，符合语境。16. 答案 a解析 考查介词。be short of .“不足”。此处表示另一个衡量指标是劳力参与率，五月份还不足63。17. 答案 b解析 考查名词。由下文中的nearly a third . were the _18_ unemployed，可知，此处应指失业的美国人，因此用out of a job“失业”。18. 答案 c解析 考查形容词。由下文的their health issues，可知不是短期失业造成的，因此推测是长期失业导致的。19. 答案 d解析 考查动词。由动作的发出者a health care system，可知应选d项。treat“医治；治疗”。20. 答案 a解析 考查形容词。由前面的massively expensive可知此处应用ineffective“不起作用的”与之相呼应。unimportant“不重要的”；uninterested“不感兴趣的”；unrelated“不相关的”。.阅读理解many parents dream of their children growing into healthy, well adjusted adults, moving out of home and heading out into the big, wide world. but when the couple monique and graeme fords three children began to leave the nest, they realized they

growing. monique says she would recommend the experience to everybody.“to be able to, hopefully, help a child on the right path and set them straight, and know that were going to be there forever for

rather try switching to light beer and low-calorie bread than increase physical exercise. the centers for disease control and prevention, for example, found that fewer than one-fourth of overweight adults who were trying to shed pounds said they were combining exercise with their diet._2_ for example, one would have to walk three miles just to work off the 275 calories in one delicious danish pastry (油酥糕点). _3_ “exercise by itself is a very tough way to lose weight,” says york onnen, program director of the presidents council on physical fitness and sports._4_ a study at the boston university medical center of overweight police officers and other public employees confirmed that those who dieted without exercise regained almost all their old weight, while those who worked exercise into their daily routine maintained their new weight.if you dont exercise often and decide to start walking one mile a day, the added exercise could burn an extra 100 calories daily. _5_ by increasing the distance of your walks gradually and making other dietary adjustments, you may lose even more weight.a. even exercise professionals admit half a point here.b. and that idea is now deeply rooted in the minds of most americans.c. unfortunately, that message has not got through to the average americans.d. in a years time, if there is no increase in food intake, you could lose ten pounds.e. in rejecting exercise, some people may be discouraged too much by caloric charts.f. still, exercises supporting role in weight reduction is vital.g. diet is never expected to work without any form of exercise.答案 1-5 ceafd.语法填空one day, nick invited his friends to supper. he was cooking some delicious food in the kitchen. suddenly, he _1_(find) that he had run out of salt. so nick called
