2014年英语六级阅读段落信息匹配题练习(1)Words: 943How to Survive Black FridayA) If youre celebrating Thanksgiving today, you might be considering venturing out to the Black Friday sales tomorrow morning. After all, there will be at least a few great dealsand you can do all your holiday gift shopping in one crazy sprint. In order to make it out with your sanityand your walletintact, there are a few Black Friday tips I)d like to share.B) First, making your shopping list is essential. When I was little, I could sit for hours with the Black Friday ads (especially Toys R Us), telling whoever was listening that I wanted pretty much everything on each page. I may have grown out of Toys R Us, but I still see plenty I want flipping through the sales papers. Sometimes, I can even convince myself that I really need some great gadget (小玩意儿)that I hadnt actually intended to buy. So, before I even start browsing through the sales papers, I make a list of items that Im particularly looking for. While I might adapt my list to whats on salemaybe swap out a movie title or choose a different videogame based on what is available.C) Second, many retailers offer online deals for Black Friday, so check the online deals before shopping. When you add in gas money and the time you might spend standing in line on Friday morning, online sales are even better. Before you brave the crowds, take a look at your favorite websitesand the stores you!re planning to visit. Many sales will kick in at midnight, so youll be able to check no matter how early youre planning on getting in line at the local big box retailer. For some stores, you can order items online and pay the Black Friday price, then pick them up at your local store.D) Third, I have to say youd better pick a shopping buddy who will match your pace. My mother will be getting up at 4 a.m. Friday morning. While I admire her dedication, her Black Friday will be much longer than mine. I prefer to shop at a more comfortable pace, though, so Ill be going with a different shopping buddy. My mom and my sisterboth power shoppersare much happier pairing up and letting the slow poke(慢性子的 A) (thats me) go on my own. I do think that having a buddy does make the whole process much easier, though: one person can stand in line while the other person grabs whatever is on the list. Even better, a buddy can help you stick to your list and your budget, avoiding unnecessary spending.E) Fourth, dont forget to bring your ads with you. Theres a chance that your discounted item may not ring up as on sale when you actually get up to the cash register. Instead of trying to recall exactly what the sale paper said, pull that ad out and ask the clerk to double check it. You can avoid confusion by carrying your ads with youand, if you go to a store with a price-matching policy, you may be able to get the same prices that another store is offering. If youre relying on ads you found online, you might have a harder time getting a deal, though. Some stores wont even honor the prices listed on their own websites. Printing off the ad can help you convince a clerk, but its not guaranteed.F) Fifth, as to returns policies, they seem to get tighter every year, and they can be worse for Black Friday. For some items, stores may have only a short return policyand they may charge you a restocking fee. If you arent sure if youve bought the right size (or are otherwise considering a return), plan on making your return as soon as possible. Keep your receipt handy and pick up gift receipts where necessary.G) Sixth, it is better to use your credit card on Black Friday. Normally, I，m against using a credit card for most purchases. Its too easy to run up a big bill, but there are some definite benefits to using plastic on Black Friday. Many credit card companies have much better return protection than stores: a purchase made on your credit card may have guaranteed refund up to 90 days. Credit cards often offer warranty coverage for free on purchasesa much better deal than most of the service contracts offered by stores. Lastly, some cards offer sale price protection. If the price of your purchase is marked down further than the price you paid within a certain time frame, you can get a refund of the difference.H) Seventh, if youre planning to find a great deal on an HDTV on Black Friday, Im afraid that youre out of luck. Even on Black Friday, its rare to see much in the way of sales on big ticket electronics. The small sales are generally just not worth the hassle of trying to get a sales person to help you with anything time intensive when theyre getting slammed with hundreds of shoppers.I) Last but not least, theres nothing wrong with skipping the Black Friday sales. If theres nothing on sale that youre interested in, why bother? The entire day is set up to let retailers sell as much stuff as they canto take as much of your money as they can. But there)s no better place for your money than in your wallet or bank account. So, stay Home, relax and take advantage of your leftovers. Youll be saving money even if you wind up making a few full price purchases down the road.1. The authors mother prefers shopping with the authors sister because the author is slow.2. When shopping, it is better to bring the ads with you because some items may actually not be on sale.3. You can buy items online at the Black Friday price and then get them at the local store.4. While the author looks through the sales papers, she may make changes on her shopping list.5. In order to help readers spend their money more reasonably on Black Friday, the author would like to share a few Black Friday tips.6. You cant find a great deal on expensive electronics on Black Friday because it is unnecessary for the stores to go for the small sales.7. Skipping the Black Friday sales means you are saving money.8. If your credit card is with price protection, you can get a refund of the price gap.9. For items with short return policy, you have a risk of paying for a restocking fee.10. The author advises people to use a credit card, which usually can guarantee a 90- day refund period. 答案：6.H 本题是H段大意的总结。文章提到，如果你想在黑色星期五买到合适的高清电视的话，那你可能不走运了，因为在那一天很少能看到像电子产品这样的大型商品的促销活动，商店不可能不顾其他大量顾客，而为了那么一 丁点儿销售额派专门的销售人员来为你集中提供任何服务。题目中的 cantfind和原文中的its rare to see同义;题目中的expensive和原文中的big ticket同义。7.

Many would call sugar their friend in time of need, but in fact their so-called “good friend” could turn out to be their worst enemy in disguise. Sugar for many is something they may have been battling with for a long time. Heres a simple three-step process to help you start to win back the battle for your health.B) The first step is to be aware of what sugar really does to your body. Most people will say they “know” that they shouldnt have sugar, but they really cant help it. To me that is a lack of true awareness of what sugar does to oneself. I don+t think many people will say that they want to hurt their body on purpose, but unless they know its really happening they will continue down that road. Sugar is slower to impact our health, and it，s that slow destructive process that is the most dangerous. Unfortunately, most people dont know the damage until it has already been done.C) Sugar increases fat storing. Possibly the most important hormone in the body is insulin (胰岛素)，when it comes to weight loss and health. Insulin is the main hormone that we have full control over daily through our diet and lifestyle. When we eat sugar and it enters into our bloodstream too quickly, we have a spike in blood sugar levels. Now in times of high activity we are able to burn it off, but if we are sitting around this is not a good thing. So in response to that high level of blood sugar, the body will release more insulin into the bloodstream. Insulin will then take the excess glucose (葡萄糖)and try to find a place to store it. If your muscles are all full or have insulin resistance) then the best place to put the excess glucose is fat cells. When insulin is high, the fat cells are told to shut down any process of releasing stored fat into the blood for burning. With chronic high insulin spikes comes a resistance to it by your cells, leading to more insulin production, leading to more fat storing, and more resistance, eventually going down a road of diabetes and ill health for the whole body.D) Sugar also disrupts normal brain function. I think most people can relate to mood swings and energy highs/lows that come after a high sugar meal. Sugar can also be the source of many peoples increased anxiety and depression. Let us not also forget the kids with ever-increasing attention “disorders” and behavioral issues. Sugar is not helping with that, either. In fact, there have been many studies that show when taking sugar out of a kids diet and increasing fat intake, their attention ability increases, their behavior changes for the better.E) Sugar decreases your overall health and makes you age quicker. Too much sugar will lower your overall immune system increase destructive inflammation, lead to essential mineral deficiencies in the body, feed bad bacteria growth in your gut and other wonderful stuff. Aging is just a fancy word for the body breaking down quicker than it can repair itself, as that is what happens when we get older. Aging also is accelerated by the increasing risks of all degenerative diseases such as diabetes, osteoporosis, heart disease and cancers. We are all going to get older, but it doesnt mean that we have to “age” quicker.F) The second step is to realize you are in 100% control of your actions. This could be the most underrated yet the most important step, as we are the only person who controls what we put into our body. Everything starts in what we choose to put in our mouths. Some people may say they cant control their sugar cravings, but that is already admitting defeat and giving up power to some “cosmic sugar influence” out there. We can pass on dessert, we dont need to buy a candy bar, we can drink water instead of soda, but the choice is ours to make.G) Also many like to call it an “addiction”. This is just another way to give up your own personal power of choice. While sugar can have “addictive like” qualities, its not something that you own or is a part of you. Fight the battle and you will get over the addictive feelings, they will go away. But if you call it an addiction and make it part of you, then it is yours to keep forever. Be free from it, let go. Take back control and anything is possible.H) The third step is to just live the daily journey one choice at a time. Life is just a series of present moments, and the choices we make in those moments. So let，s just focus on what we can do right now instead of worrying about what has happened in the past or may or may not happen in the future. “Now” is all we have and all we need to focus on.I) Choose to eat more natural foods. Choose whole food proteins, healthy fats and natural sources of carbohydrates. If it wasnt around a thousand years ago or is made by man (and not nature), chances are you dont need it. Note how it says “Choose” above, as it is your choice. Find the hidden sources of sugars and remove them. Sugar is hidden in places such as sauces, ketchup, soups, processed foods, drinks, so called health bars, and more. Become a label reader and see how much sugar you are consistently putting into your body. Dont fall for the marketing trick either of “low fat”, because that usually means “more sugar”.1. We are able to lower blood sugar levels by taking part in intense activities.2. If you consider sugar as an addiction and call it something that you own, you wont get rid of it forever.3. In the authors opinion, the reason why many people can$t help having sugar is that they are unaware of its danger.4. When insulin in the bloodstream is high, fat cells will stop releasing stored fat.5. The author believes that sugar which we called “good friend” in time of need in fact is a hidden enemy.6. Many studies show that sugar-free diets with more fat can improve childrens attention ability.7. The truth that we get older is that our body breaks down faster than it can be selfrepaired.8. You yield to your addictive feelings, which means you give up your own personal power of choice.9. The author believes that taking high sugar meals may result in mood fluctuation.10. To be healthy, what we should do now is to eat natural foods and get rid of the hidden sources of sugars.文章精要糖类食品无处不在，影响了人们的健康。作者建议人们做到以下三个步骤， 以保证健康的生活：第一，真正了解糖对人体的危害;第二，完全控制自己吃糖 的欲望;第三，做到健康饮食，远离糖类食品。答案解析1. c 本题是对c段第四、五句话的总结。文章提到，我们吃下的糖很快会进人 血液中，导致体内的血糖水平达到峰值，而进行剧烈运动可以降低这个峰 值。题目中的intense activities与文中的high activity同义;题目中的lower和 原文中的burn off属于同义转述。2.

What is ozone? What does an orange alert mean? Why should you be concerned about it? In this article, we will examine what ozone is, how it is produced, what health hazards it poses and what you can do to reduce ozone pollution.B) Ozone is a molecule of three oxygen atoms bound together (O3). It is unstable and highly reactive. Ozone is used as a bleach, a deodorizing agent, and a sterilization agent for air and drinking water. At low concentrations, it is toxic. Ozone is found naturally in small concentrations in the stratosphere, a layer of Earths upper atmosphere. In this upper atmosphere, ozone is made when ultraviolet light from the sun splits an oxygen molecule (O2), forming two single oxygen atoms. If a freed atom collides with an oxygen molecule, it becomes ozone. Stratospheric ozone has been called “good” ozone because it protects the Earths surface from dangerous ultraviolet light.C) Ozone can also be found in the troposphere, the lowest layer of the atmosphere. Tropospheric ozone (often termed “ bad ” ozone) is man - made, a result of air pollution from internal combustion engines and power plants. Automobile exhaust and industrial emissions release a family of nitrogen oxide gases (NOx) and volatile organic compounds (VOC), by-products of burning gasoline and coal. NOx and VOC combine chemically with oxygen to form ozone during sunny, high- temperature conditions of late spring, summer and early fall. High levels of ozone are usually formed in the heat of the afternoon and early evening, dissipating during the cooler nights.D) Although ozone pollution is formed mainly in urban and suburban areas, it ends up in rural areas as well, carried by prevailing winds or resulting from cars and trucks that travel into rural areas. Significant levels of ozone pollution can be detected in rural areas as far as 250 miles downwind from urban industrial zones.E) You can make ozone test strips to detect and monitor ozone levels in your own backyard or around your school. You will need corn starch, filter paper (coffee filters work well) and potassium iodide (can be ordered from a science education supplier such as Carolina Biological Supply or Fisher Scientific). Basically, you make a paste from water, corn starch and potassium-iodide, and you paint this paste on strips of filter paper. You then expose the strips to the air for eight hours. Ozone in the air will react with the potassium iodide to change the color of the strip. You will also need to know the relative humidity, which you can get from a newspaper, weather broadcast or home weather station.F) When you inhale ozone, it travels throughout your respiratory tract. Because ozone is very corrosive, it damages the bronchioles and alveoli in your lungs, air sacs that are important for gas exchange. Repeated exposure to ozone can inflame lung tissues and cause respiratory infections.G) Ozone exposure can aggravate existing respiratory conditions such as asthma, reduce your lung function and capacity for exercise and cause chest pains and coughing.
