A healthy diet is made up of water and a great many different kinds of foods. We know that healthy foods like fruits, vegetables and fish, are important as they provide us with energy and fiber, without giving us too much fat and sugar. But why is water important?The human body needs water to survive. Water is important as it carries poisons and waste out of our bodies. However, doctors advise us to drink plenty of water, much more than the small amount we need to stay alive.Some doctors believe that water is important for our health in all kinds of ways. They believe that a great many illnesses and health problems start as a result of dehydration (脱水)-a lack of water in the body. Most people are dehydrated at least some of time, although they probably dont know it. It is surprising to learn that if we feel thirsty, we are already in the first stage of dehydration. In fact, we are advised to drink water before we feel thirsty.These doctors think that health problems such as headaches, high blood pressure and asthma (哮喘) could be helped if people drink more water. They also believe that drinking more water can help people who are overweight. Water contains no calories so it will not make us put on weight. If we drink water, we will probably drink less sugary soft drinks such as Coca-cola. Doctors also believe that drinking more water may stop people from overeating. They say that many people think that they are hungry when they are, in fact, thirsty. Doctors suggest, therefore, that we eat less food and drink more water. There are still many health problems that cannot be solved by drinking water, so we should not stop going to seeing the doctor completely. However, if we make a decision to drink water every day, we may find that we need to go to the doctor a lot less often.4. From the text, we know water can carry_.A. energy and fiber in our bodiesB. fruit, vegetables and fish in our bodiesC. sugar and fat out of our bodiesD. poisons and waste out of our bodies5. Some doctors think that_.A. some health problems are caused by a lack of waterB. water is not important for our healthC. we should go to the doctor less oftenD. people eat too much sugar6. Lack of water caused people to put on weight too much because_.A. they think they are thirsty and eat lessB. they think they are hungry and eat too muchC. water has no caloriesD. it makes them thirsty7. Which of the following isnt mentioned in the passage?A. The amount of water a person should drink in a day.B. Some healthy problems start because of a lack of water.C. Drinking more water may stop people from overeating.D. Fruitprovidesuswithenergyandfibre.【答案】4. D 5. A 6. B 7. A【解析】本文属于说明文，文章主要讲述了水与人体健康的关系，告诉我们要每天多饮水，让身体处于健康状态。【4题详解】细节理解题。根据第二段Water is important as it carries poisons and waste out of our bodies.可知，水很重要，因为可以把毒素和废弃物排出体外，故D选项正确。【5题详解】细节理解题。根据第三段They believe that a great many illnesses and health problems start as a result of dehydration (脱水)-a lack of water in the body.可知，医生认为很多疾病和健康问题都是由于脱水导致的，故选A。【6题详解】推理判断题。根据第三段最后一句In fact, we are advised to drink water before we feel thirsty. 可以推断缺水时会让我们长胖，因为缺水时就去喝水和暴吃，其实在感觉口渴之前就应该去喝水。故B选项正确。【7题详解】推理判断题。通读全文可以知道，全文并未提及一个人一天可以喝多少水，故A选项符合题意。CNola (August 21, 1974 -November 22, 2020) was a northern white rhino（犀牛）who lived at the San Diego Zoo Safari Park near Escondido, California. At her death, she was one of only four remaining northern white rhinos in the world. The other three lived in Kenya. World Rhino Day, held on September 22, is to raise awareness of the less than 30,000 other rhinos left on Earth.“Rhinos need our help today, not tomorrow,”Nolas lead keeper Jane Kennedy said. “Last year we lost over 1,200 rhinos just in South Africa. If we continue to lose more than 1,000 rhinos a year, in 10 to 20 years all the rhinos on the planet will be gone.”“Unfortunately, most animals are in danger of dying out because of humans,” Kennedy says.“ Humans have either poached（偷猎）animals, or because there are over seven billion of us, we ve taken up too much of the worlds resources ”. Poachers illegally hunt rhinos for their horns. They sell the horns for thousands of dollars per pound, to be used for art, jewelry, and decorations.Experts believe that one rhino is poached every eight hours.In 1975, the San Diego Zoo Institute for Conservation Research started the Frozen Zoo, a program through which researchers have collected cell (细胞) samples from more than 8,000 different types of animals, including the northern white rhino. Scientists hope that by studying the rhino cells, they will get greater understanding of it, and will find ways to increase its numbers.Jane Kennedy describes World Rhino Day as “a celebration of rhinos along with an awareness campaign for everybody across the world to know that rhinos need our help.”At the San Diego Zoo, children and adults are welcome to visit and speak with zookeepers to learn about rhinos. But you don t have to live in San Diego to celebrate World Rhino Day. It is observed around the world, with zoos and wildlife parks holding special events and programs to teach people about rhinos, and enable them to see the animals up close.

It lived with other northern white rhinos in Kenya.D. It died on September 22 at the San Diego Zoo Safari Park.9. What troubled Jane Kennedy according to Paragraph 2?A.

To help people know more about animals.B. To encourage people to protect animals.C. To report special events in San DiegoD. To introduce World Rhino Day.【答案】8. B 9. B 10. A 11. D【解析】本文是一篇说明文，作者在文章里介绍了白犀牛的数量在急剧减少，与此引出对此类濒危动物的担忧，分析了出现濒危动物的原因并呼吁人们增强动物保护意识。【8题详解】细节理解题。根据第一段前两句“Nola (August 21, 1974 -November 22, 2020) was a northern white rhino who lived at the San Diego Zoo Safari Park near Escondido, California. At her death, she was one of only four remaining northern white rhinos in the world.”可知Nola是世界上为数不多的仅存的白犀牛之一。故B项正确。【9题详解】推理判断题。根据第二段“Rhinos need our help today, not tomorrow,” If we continue to lose more than 1,000 rhinos a year, in 10 to 20 years all the rhinos on the planet will be gone.”可知犀牛现在就需要我们的帮助，如果犀牛继续以现在的速度减少。那么很快犀牛就会灭绝了。说明Jane Kennedy对犀牛的未来很担心。故B项正确。【10题详解】推理判断题。根据第四段第二句“Scientists hope that by studying the rhino cells, they will get greater understanding of it, and will find ways to increase its numbers.”可知科学家希望通过这个项目，研究犀牛等濒危动物的细胞，对这些动物有更深的理解，最终能够阻止这些濒危动物灭绝，增加这些动物的数量。所以the Frozen Zoo的目标是阻止动物灭绝。故A项正确。【11题详解】主旨大意题。根据本段第一句Jane Kennedy describes World Rhino Day as “a celebration of rhinos along with an awareness campaign for everybody across the world to know that rhinos need our help.”可知本段主要介绍了世界犀牛节的有关信息，故D项正确。DA survey said the average Asian dad spent one minute a day with his children. I was shocked. I mean, a whole minute? Every day? Get real. Once a week maybe. The fact is, many Asian males are terrible at kid-related things. In fact, I am one of them.Child-rearing (养育) doesnt come naturally to guys. My mother knew the names of our teachers, best friends and crushes. My dad was only vaguely aware there were short people sharing the apartment. My mother bought healthy fresh food at the market every day. My dad would only go shopping when there was nothing in the fridge except a jar of butter. Then hed buy beer. My mother always knew the right questions to ask our teachers. My dad would ask my English teacher if she could get us a discount on school fees. My mother served kid food to kids. My dad added chili sauce to everything, including our baby food.The truth is, mothers have superpowers. My son fell off a wall once and hurt himself all over. I demanded someone bring me a computer so I could google what to do. My wife ignored me and did some sort of chanting (咏诵) phrase such as“Mummy kiss it better,” and cured 17 separate injuries in less than 15 seconds.Yes, mothers are incredible people, but they are not always correct. Yet honesty forces me to record the fact that mothers only know best 99.99 percent of the time. Here are some famous slip-ups.The mother of Bill Gates:“If youre going to drop out of college and hang out with your stupid friends, dont come running to me when you find yourself penniless.”The mother of Albert Einstein:“When you grow up, youll find that sitting around thinking about the nature of time and space wont pay the grocery bills.” The mother of George W. Bush: “Youll never be like your dad, who became President of the United States and started his own war.”12.

The last paragraph is mainly developed by _.A. making comparisonsB. following the order of spaceC. providing different examplesD. analyzing causes【答案】12. D 13. B 14. A 15. C【解析】【分析】本文属于说明文，讲述了男性与女性相比较，不擅长照顾孩子，在孩子眼里，母亲有超能力，但是母亲也会犯错的时候，同时也列举了一些说错了话的母亲的例子。【12题详解】推理判断题。根据文章第二段内容，尤其是第二段最后两句My mother served kid food to kids. My dad added chili sauce to everything, including our baby food作者使用了一种很幽默的口吻在讲述妈妈和爸爸之间的差异。本文的语调并不严厉，也没有批评和反对的语气。另外在文章最后一段讲述了一些名人母亲所说错的话时，也显得很幽默。故D正确。【13题详解】推理判断题。根据第一段最后一句The fact is, many Asian males are terrible at kidrelated things. In fact, I am one of them很多亚洲男性对孩子或者与孩子有关的事情都很不擅长，而我也是其中之一。接着在文章第二段中对爸爸妈妈照顾孩子的不同行为进行对比，正是为了证明第一段最后两句的内容：男性不擅长带孩子。故B正确。【14题详解】词义猜测题。根据横线前面一句Yet honesty forces me to record the fact that mothers only know best 99.99 percent of the time妈妈百分之99.99是正确的，还有百分之一是错误的。在最后一段中列举了比尔盖茨的妈妈、爱因斯坦的妈妈、小布什的妈妈对孩子说的话，这些话和最后的事实都相反。说明这些妈妈说的话都是错误的。再次证明“slip-ups”意为“错误”。故A正确。【15题详解】推理判断题。作者在最后一段中列举了比尔盖茨的妈妈、爱因斯坦的妈妈、小布什的妈妈对孩子说的话，这些话和最后的事实都相反。说明这些妈妈说的话都是错误的。是通过举例说明的方法组织文章的。故C正确。【点睛】本文【小题3】属于猜测词意题。本题是通过下文所例举的事例来猜测所划之词的意思。在最后一段中列举了比尔盖茨的妈妈、爱因斯坦的妈妈、小布什的妈妈对孩子说的话，这些话和最后的事实都相反。说明这些妈妈说的话都是错误的。在阅读中恰当的举例能够提供猜测生词的重要线索。例如：（04 辽宁卷C段）The course gives you chances to know great power polities between nation states. It will provide more space to study particular issues such as relationship among countries in the European Union third world debt, local and international disagreement, and the work of such international bodies as the United Nations, the European Union, NATO, and the World Bank.根据such as 后面列举的一系列例子，我们应该能推断出句中的issue 是指议题。英语阅读理解中猜测词义的方法还有很多，如：技巧1 Definition 定义法：一般通过定义/定语从句/词组或同位语从句来确定词义技巧2 Contrast 对比法：利用文中的反义词、表对比关系的词猜测词义。技巧3 CauseEffect 因果法：从原因推测结果，从结果推测原因技巧4 Example 例举法：利用文中的举例猜测词义。技巧5 Word Formation 构词法：在猜测词义过程中，我们还可以依靠构词法方面的知识，从生词本身猜测词义。技巧6 根据文段中出现的同义、近义或反义词的意思进行判断。技巧7 根据句子结构进行判断。技巧8 根据文章的背景进行判断。技巧9 Context 上下文：利用语境及前后的提示来猜测词义第二节（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。并在答题卡上将该项涂黑。选项中有两项为多余选项。A volunteering vacation can be a meaningful way to spend your time off, but to make the trip satisfying both for you and the cause you are supporting, several factors need to be considered.
