The data was taken from the National Health and Nutrition Survey, a study on the

11、 health of children in the United States done each year by the Center for Disease Control and Prevention.While looking through the survey results, she noticed that more than half of the kids who took part in the study were dehydrated (脱水的). Of that group, boys were 76% more likely than girls not to

19、hen the father goes to the hotel he finds 800 young men named Paco waiting for their fathers.What draws them to the hotel? As Hemingway tells it, it is the words “All is forgiven” .The father does not say, “All will be forgiven if .” He simply says, “All is forgiven.” No strings attached.Wiktionary

20、tells us that the origin of the expression “no strings attached” may date back to ancient times when documents were written on parchment (羊皮纸) that was rolled up and secured with a string.An unknown author portrays the possibilities of no-strings-attached love in this heartfelt story titled The Rock

21、.As she grows older her teenage daughter becomes increasingly rebellious(叛逆的). It is late one night when the police arrests her daughter for drunk driving.

23、r. On the card are these words: “This rock is more than 2,000 years old.

27、 but football, rugby and running may not help people to live longer, a study suggests. A study followed more than 80,000 people for an average of nine years to find out if certain sports protected them against early death. It found that people who played racket sports regularly were the least likely

28、 to die over the study period, reducing their individual risk by 47 percent compared with people who did no exercise. Swimmers also reduced their chance of death by 28 percent, aerobics (有氧运动) fans by 27 percent and cyclists by 15 percent. Yet running appeared to have no impact at all on dying early

29、, and neither did playing football or rugby. Scientists say the difference may lie in the social aspect which goes alongside sports like tennis and squash (壁球), which often involve clubs and organized activities outside of the game. It means that people often have larger social net-works and tend to

30、 keep up activities into later life, both of which are proven to be good for health. In contrast, people who play team sports often do not move onto a new sport once their teams break up for family, or injury reasons. They become watchers rather than participants in their chosen activity. The resear

31、chers found that playing racket sports was associated with a 56 percent lower risk from heart death. Similarly, swimmers lowered their heart disease or stroke risk by 41 percent, and people who took part in activities like aerobics, dance or gymnastics lowered their risk by 36 percent. But again run

32、ning, football and rugby had no significant impact on heart deaths. However, other experts argue that this study must not be misinterpreted as showing that running and football do not protect against heart disease. In this study both runners and footballers had a lower rate of death from heart disea

33、se. 32.Which sport has hardly any impact on protecting people against early death?A. Cycling. B. Swimming. C. Rugby. D. Tennis. 33.According to the study, which makes a big difference in keeping healthy?A. Playing basketball with their friends occasionally. B. Watching football games every day. C. T

34、aking up gymnastics and joining a club. D. Doing running in the park every day. 34.What is considered more important to peoples health?A. Social networks. B. Staying at home. C. Physical examinations. D. Setting up families. 35.What is the main idea of the text?A. Thousands of people participated in

35、 a 9-year research. B. Study finds playing tennis helps people live longer. C. It is wrong to say running has no impact on heart disease. D. There are differences between racket sports and team games. 第二节 （共5小题;每小题 2分, 满分10分）阅读下面短文, 从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。We all need friends in our life.

57、的“In Canada, Thanksgiving is held on the second Monday in October.”可知答案。23.选C推断题。根据所采访的四个学生的内容可知,美国人和加拿大人对感恩节持不同的观点和看法。B篇阅读，本文属于说明文，主要介绍的是现在的孩子水分摄入量远远没有达到所需要的标准。24.选A，细节理解题。根据第一段第二句可知，Erica Kenney的研究原本是想调查学生在校所喝的含糖饮料的数量的问题。25.选B，推理判断题。根据第三段前两句可知，超过一半参加调查的孩子都有脱水现象，其中男孩比女孩少喝水的可能性更大。也就是说男孩比女孩更容易脱水。26.选

58、C推理判断题。根据最后一段第二句可知，孩子们除了直接喝水之外，还可以从其他富含水分的食物中摄入水，如celery, melons, tomatoes这些蔬菜和水果。27，选D，主旨大意题。根据文章第一段最后一句可知，本文主要告诉我们现在的孩子水分摄入严重不足，接下来几段对这一现象展开说明。C篇阅读，本文通过讲述两篇小说中的故事,告诉我们父母对于子女的爱是无条件的。28，选A，细节题。根据文章第1段第2、3句可知,这位父亲在报纸上刊登广告是为了找到离家出走的儿子。29 选D，词义推断题。父亲刊登在广告上的话是All is forgiven而不是“All will be forgiven if.”

59、,也就是说,父亲会无条件原谅儿子,只要他回来。所以画线部分的意思是“不附加任何条件”。30 选C，推断题。根据文章倒数第2段可知,女儿是读了卡片上的话才落泪的,而这句话恰恰表达了母亲对女儿无条件的爱,所以正是母亲无条件的爱使女儿潸然泪下。31，选B推断题。本文通过讲述两篇小说中的故事,告诉我们父母对于孩子的爱是无条件的。D篇文章主要说明了一项研究表明，经常打网球可以帮助人们避免死亡，但踢足球、打橄榄球和跑步可能无法帮助人们长寿。文章说明了研究过程，以及研究人员还发现，从事球拍类运动可使心脏死亡的风险降低56%，其他专家对此有不同的看法。32选C，细节理解题。根据第一段中Playing tenn

60、is regularly could help keep people off death, but football, rugby and running may not help people to live longer, a study suggests. 可知，一项研究表明，经常打网球可以帮助人们避免死亡，但踢足球、打橄榄球和跑步可能无法帮助人们长寿。由此可知，橄榄球无法帮助人们长寿。故选C。33.选C，细节理解题。根据第三段可知，科学家们说，区别可能在于社交方面，它和网球、壁球等运动一样，经常涉及俱乐部和有组织的运动之外的活动。这意味着人们通常有更大的社交网络，并倾向于在以后的生活
