I dont want to become a fatty.(Text 10)You might think that the most dangerous type of eating, for women, is overeating. But according to medical records, thats not the case. Most of the women who die of eating problems suffer from starving themselves. While overeaters find themselves quite OK except that they are just fat, those who starve themselves have a different experience. To look beautiful, many women eat very little. But without enough food, they are weak in health. They may feel sick in different momentat meetings, in the shopping malls, or while walking around. This becomes especially dangerous when they are driving or operating machines.The reason for this is societys demand on women to be overly thin. Its reported that over 100 women die each year in the United States alone, just because they want to meet this demand.What we should know is that when your life is in danger, is it meaningful to achieve that kind of beauty? Its necessary for those who want to keep skinny to reconsider the meaning of beauty.答案15 ACBCC610 CCBCB1115 CAACC1620 BABCB第二部分：英语知识运用(共两节，满分45分)第一节：单项填空(共15小题；每小题1分，满分15分)从A、B、C、D四个选项中，选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。21(2013海南嘉积中学月考)Look!

It is also called the euphotic zone. Here there is enough light coming into the water to support photosynthesis (光合作用)The sunlit zone goes down about 600 feet. Because photosynthesis occurs here, more than 90 percent of all marine life lives in it, including most fish.The Twilight ZoneOnly a small amount of light gets through the water to reach this zone. As the water becomes deeper, the pressure increases.Plants do not grow here; only animals that have adapted to having little light can survive.The twilight zone is also known as the disphotic zone.This part of the ocean begins at about 600 feet under the water and reaches the darkest part, which begins about 3,000 feet down.Some squid and fish can use their bodies to make light.The Midnight ZoneNinety percent of the ocean is in the midnight zone. It is entirely darkthere is no light. The water pressure is extreme. The temperature is near freezing.The midnight zone is also called the aphotic zone.What can live in the midnight zone? The living things found here live close to cracks in the earths crust (地壳). These cracks give off mineralrich materials from the center of the earth itself.Special kinds of bacteria live here, and all other things living in the midnight zone feed on these bacteria.56. Why does most marine life live in the sunlit zone?A. Because this zone is under extreme water pressure.B. Because many special kinds of fish live in this zone.C.
