第1题：
I was 15 when I met my first real teacher, Mrs Geurin. I didn’t know her well at the time but I thought I hated her.In her first class, she asked us to write a piece about an influencial person, place or memory. I chose to write my lake house, a topic I had already written about and received a vast amount of praise for. Put simply, it was the place that my parents met and fell in love.This teacher knew about my original piece and she was not happy. Throught the school year,we would pass each other in the hall, never saying a word to each other.It was not until February of 2012 that we spoke at the most unusual of places, my father’s funeral. At first, I was angry that she showed up. Did she even care? She didn’t even know him! I stood, watching her give a deep bow to my father’s coffin, completely confused!It was not until she approached me that I realized she was crying even harder than I was.“Kali,” she said, “I am so sorry. My own father passed away just three weeks ago, and I completely feel your pain.” I was shocked. I understood that she had also lost her father, but I didn’t see the connection between us just yet. She had rejected my writing. That was not something that I was willing to so early forgive.A couple of weeks later, she went into my study hall and placed an envelope on my desk.In the letter, she told me her father, also had cancer, also passed away in six months’ time and he was her best friend too. It was not just this letter, but this act of kindness that taught me my,greatest life lesson. Losing has taught us both how to appreciate life. For that lesson, I am always grateful.

D. found they had a lot in common
41. What changed the relationship between Mrs. Geurin and the author?

The Weight Experiment
Nicola Walters has been taking part in experiments in Scotland to discover why humans gain and lose weight. Being locked in a small room called a“calorimeter”（热量测量室）is one way to find out.
1. The signs above the two rooms read simply“Chamber One”and“Chamber Two”.These are the calorimeters:4m by 2m white-walled rooms where human volunteers are locked up in the name of science .Outside these rooms another sign reads“Please do not enter work in progress” and in front of the rooms advanced machinery registers every move the volunteers make.Each day,meals measured to the last gram are passed through a hole in the wall of the calorimeter to the resident volunteer.
2. Nicola Walters is one of twenty volunteers who,over the past eight months,have spent varying periods inside the calorimeter. Tall and slim,Nicola does not have a weight problem,but thought the strict diet might help with her training and fitness programme.As a self-employed community dance worker,she was able to fit the experiment in around her work .She saw an advert for volun- teers at her local gym and as she is interested in the whole area of diet and exercise,she thought she would help out.
3. The experiment on Nicola involved her spending one day on a fixed diet at home and the next in the room.This sequence was repeated four times over six weeks.She arrived at the calorimeter at8:30 am on each of the four mornings and from then on everything she ate or drank was carefully measured.Her every move was noted too,her daily exercise routine,timed to the last second.
At regular intervals,after eating,she filled in forms about how hungry she felt and samples were taken for analysis.
4. The scientists help volunteers impose a kind of order on the long days they face in the room. “The first time,I only took one video and a book,but it was OK because I watched TV the rest of the time,”says Nicola. And twice a day she used the exercise bike. She pedaled（踩踏板） for half an hour,watched by researchers to make sure she didn't go too fast.
5. It seems that some foods encourage you to eat more,while others satisfy you quickly.Volun- teers are already showing that high-fat diets are less likely to make you feel full.Believing that they may now know what encourages people to overeat,the researchers are about to start testing a high-protein weight-loss diet. Volunteers are required and Nicola has signed up for further ses- slons。Volunteers have to get prepared for the time in the calorimeter______.
A: the volunteers do
B: because she does not have a weight problem
C: because the life there can be very boring
D: make people overeat
E: because she was her own boss
F: after passing a high-protein test答案：C解析：本文的主题是体重实验，主要谈哪些活动可以减轻人的体重。实验室里有专门的热量测量室。第一段主要介绍热量测量室的有关情况，选项C的意思是“热量测量室是什么？”作为第一段的小标题最合适，故选C。
第二段主要讲Nicola作为一名志愿者，在热量测量室进行了多次实验，文章说她到这里来的主要目的不是减肥，而是看看这里的饮食和活动对健身如何有益，因为她自己是搞跳舞的，她认为通过参加这里的活动会给自己的工作带来益处。选项F的意思是 “她为什么来参加实验？”正好概括了这段的意思，所以选F。
第三段主要介绍针对Nicola安排的实验的详细情况。与选项B的意思相符，故选B。
第四段主要介绍志愿者接受实验时如何打发自己的时间，主要是看看电视或看书。选项E中的kill the time就是“打发时间”的意思，与第四段意思相符，故选E。
此句的意思是实验室外面的机器都记录了什么？根据第一段的介绍，显然是志愿者所做的各种活动的情况等，故选A。
此句问为什么Nicola有时间来参加实验，文章提到她是自雇的社区跳舞工作者，可以自由安排自己的时间，故选E。
此句问的是为什么志愿者要对在实验室里的时间做好准备，文章也提到了做实验时是很枯燥的，如果接受实验，就要做好如何打发时间的心理准备，选项C补到句子中意思合适，故选C。
题句问的是实验表明，高脂肪的饮食会导致什么？文章最后谈到，志愿者发现实验室里安排的这些高脂肪食物让人感觉吃不饱，所以导致人们吃得过多。因此选D。 -

Women,Keep Dieting!
To most women who are trying to keep slim,dieting can seem to last a lifetime,or to be more exact,31 years,for researchers have found that is how long the average woman spends on a diet over the course of her life.
A university did a research on diet of British people for as long as 10 years,whose result revealed such a picture.British women spend averagely six months a year counting the calories and more than one fifth are on a permanent diet throughout their lifetime in a seemingly never-ending pursuing the perfect figure.
However,they aren't the only ones waging a constant fight against the loose fat. The average adult male spends 28 years losing weight,the poll has discovered.It found that over a tenth of the UK population is currently dieting in a bid to shed the pounds after feasting on festive treats over the Christmas period.Though holding the best intentions,three quarters of those who began their New Year with the firm resolution to lose weight give up by the end of the week.The average diet lasts 5.5 weeks,with the post-Christmas fast being even shorter at just three weeks.Half of slimmers throw in the towel due to lack of determination,while a quarter of interviewee answered that they give up because the strict diet regime makes them moody or depressed.The most determined dieters of all are aged from 45 to 64,almost a quarter spending up to a year slimming. In comparison,those aged between 18 and 24 are more likely to be yo-yo dieters,with a fifth giving up within a month.
The survey of 1,446 of men and women found that nearly two thirds of the UK population are unhappy with their body and feel that being thinner would make them happier.
For women,looks are more important,with over half reporting that they diet to wear fashionable clothes and a third of those surveyed said they watched their weight in a bid to feel more attractive. But in comparison,men are more focused on their long-term well-being,with over a third saying they wanted to lose weight to be more healthy.How long did a woman spends on a diet averagely throughout her life according to the passage?
A:28 years.
B:31 years.
C:10 months.
D:5.5 weeks.答案：B解析：本题是细节考查题。题干是：根据短文内容，女性平均一生中花多长时间节食？选B的依据是第一段第一句："To most women who are trying to keep slim, dieting can seem to last a lifetime, or to be more exact, 31 years… ”对于多数想保持苗条身材的女性来说，节食可能是件一辈子的事。确切点说，是31年。所以选项B 31年，与原文意思相符。
本题是细节考查题。题干是：根据短文，哪个说法不正确？选B的依据是第二段第二句："British women spend averagely six months a year counting the calories and more than one fifth are on a permanent diet throughout their lifetime in a seemingly never-ending pursuing the perfect figure.”英国女性平均一年中有半年的时间在节食减肥，而超过1/5一的女性为了追求完美身材，节食几乎成了她们一生的“事业”。选项B不足1/5的英国女性终身节食，与原文意思不符。
本题考查对成语的理解。题干是：第三段中的“throw in the towel”是什么意思？选A的依据是该短语所在句子的后半句“while a quarter of interviewee answered that they give up because the strict diet regime makes them moody or depressed.”和其前半句都在分析人们节食失败的原因。所以“give up”是“throw in the towel”的复现，所以选项A承认失败，是正确答案。
本题是主旨概括题。题干是：第三段第十行的“yo-yo dieters"，作者指的是谁？选B的依据是：该句对不同年龄层的人的节食情况进行比较，年纪较长者坚持得较好，而年轻人“in comparison”坚持得不好。由此，可以推理出选项B经常节食但屡遭失败的人，是正确答案。
本题是细节考查题。题目是：男士和女士节食的原因是否相同？ 选B的依据是最后一段："For women, looks are more important...But in comparison, men are more focused on their long-term well-being.”对于女性来说，外表重于一切……相比之下，男性则更为注重长期健康。所以，选项B女性节食为好看而男性节食为健康，是正确答案。 -

Weight on and off the Earth We are so used to.our life on the surface of the earth that it can be quite an effort for our mind to break free of all the ideas that we take for granted.Because we can feel that things are heavy,we think of "weight"as being a fixed quality in an object,but it is not really fixed at all.If you could take a one-pound packet of butter 4,000 miles out from the earth,it would weigh only a quarter of a pound. Why would things weigh only a quarter as much as they do at the surface of the earth if we took them 4,000 miles out into space?The reason is this:all objects have a natural attraction for all other objects;this is called gravitational attraction.But this power of attraction between two obects gets weaker as they get farther apart.When the butter was at the surface of the earth,it was 4,000 miles from the center.When we took the butter 4,000 miles out,it was 8,000 miles from the center,which is twice the distance.If you double the distance between two objects,their gravitational attraction decreases two times two.If you treble the distance, it gets nine times weaker(three times three)and so on. So this is one of the first things we need to remember that the weight of an object in space is not the same as its weight on the surface of the earth. What about the weight of our pound of butter on the surface of the moon?At the distance the puii of the earth is about 4,000 times smaller than it is here on the surface,so we can forget all about the earth-pull on our butter. On the other hand,on the moon there will be an attraction between the butter and the moon,but the butter will weigh only about one-sixth as much as it does on the earth.This is because the moon is so much smaller than the earth.The amount of gravitational pull that a body produces depends on the amount of material in it.A packet of butter has a gravitational pull of its own;but this is very small in relation to the pull of something as large as the moon,or the earth,or the sun.How much would four pounds of tea weigh if it was taken 4,000 miles out from the surface of the earth?
A:1 pound.
B:2 pounds.
C:3 pounds.
D:4 pounds.答案：A解析：第一段最后一句表明，1磅重的黄油在离地球表面4000英里处重达0.25磅，第二段第一句也表明在4000英里高空处的物体重量仅为其在地球表面的重量的1/4。由此可推算出，4磅重的茶叶在离地球表面4000英里处重达1磅。
第一段第一句表明，我们之所以不能打破固有思维，是因为我们已经习惯了地球上的生活，也就是说，我们正是因为太过熟悉地球上的事物，才没有去质疑这些固有思维。
第一段第二句表明，物体的重量并非固定不变。第二段解释说，物体的重量源于物体间的引力。也就是说，物体的重量随着物体间引力的改变而改变。
最后一段第三句说明一个物体产生的引力与物体本身的重量有关。最后一段第四句又表明由于本身重量较小，一包黄油产生的引力很有限，相对于月球、地球、太阳等产生的强劲引力来说，比较容易被我们忽略。
本篇文章通篇讲的是重量是由引力产生的，并进一步阐述了物体间引力的变化、物体本身的重量，以及物体间的距离这三者之间的关系，主要讲的还是引力对重量的作用。 -

Losing Weight
Girls as young as 10 years old are dieting and in danger of developing unhealthy attitudes about weight,body image and food,a group of Toronto researchers reported Tuesday.
Their study of 2,279 girls aged 10 to 14 showed that while the vast majority had healthy weights,nearly a third felt they were overweight and were trying to lose pounds. Even at the tender age of 10,nearly 32 percent of girls felt"too fat"and 3 1 percent said they were trying to diet.
McVey,a researcher at the Hospital for Sick Children in Toronto,and her colleagues analyzed data collected in a number of surveys of southern Ontario school girls between 1993 and 2003,reporting their findings in Tuesday's issue of the Canadian Medical Association Journal.
Nearly 80 percent of the girls had a healthy body weight and only 7.2 percent were considered overweight using standard weight-to-height ratios.Most researchers suggest the rate of overweight children in this country is several times higher than that figure.
Nearly 30 percent of the girls reported they were currently trying to lose weight,though few admitted to dangerous behavior such as self-induced vomiting.
Still,a test that measured attitudes towards eating showed 10.5 percent of survey participants were already at risk of developing an eating disorder.
"We're not talking about kids who've been prescribed a diet because they're above average weight or overweight. We're talking about children who are within a healthy weight range.And they have taken it upon themselves to diet to lose weight,"McVey said,acknowledging she found the rates disturbing. She said striking a balance between healthy weights and healthy attitudes towards food and body image is a complex task,with no easy solutions.What kind of institution does the lead researcher work with?
A: A school.
B: A hospital.
C: An association.
D: A charity.答案：B解析：文章第二段中的第一句和第四段中的第-句先后提到，接受调查的女孩中的绝大多数体重都在健康范围内。
文章的第二段提到，有将近1/3的女孩认为自己超重。
文章的第二段提到，接受调查的是年龄为10岁至14岁的女孩。
文章的第三段提到，主要研究人员McVey女士在一家医院工作。
文章的第六段提到，有关体重、体形和饮食等的不健康态度使得一些女孩子面临饮食失调的危险。 -

D:She seldom has time to take a holiday.答案：B解析：本题是细节考查题。题干是：根据短文内容，女性平均一生中花多长时间节食？选B的依据是第一段第一句："To most women who are trying to keep slim, dieting can seem to last a lifetime, or to be more exact, 31 years… ”对于多数想保持苗条身材的女性来说，节食可能是件一辈子的事。确切点说，是31年。所以选项B 31年，与原文意思相符。
本题是细节考查题。题干是：根据短文，哪个说法不正确？选B的依据是第二段第二句："British women spend averagely six months a year counting the calories and more than one fifth are on a permanent diet throughout their lifetime in a seemingly never-ending pursuing the perfect figure.”英国女性平均一年中有半年的时间在节食减肥，而超过1/5一的女性为了追求完美身材，节食几乎成了她们一生的“事业”。选项B不足1/5的英国女性终身节食，与原文意思不符。
本题考查对成语的理解。题干是：第三段中的“throw in the towel”是什么意思？选A的依据是该短语所在句子的后半句“while a quarter of interviewee answered that they give up because the strict diet regime makes them moody or depressed.”和其前半句都在分析人们节食失败的原因。所以“give up”是“throw in the towel”的复现，所以选项A承认失败，是正确答案。
本题是主旨概括题。题干是：第三段第十行的“yo-yo dieters"，作者指的是谁？选B的依据是：该句对不同年龄层的人的节食情况进行比较，年纪较长者坚持得较好，而年轻人“in comparison”坚持得不好。由此，可以推理出选项B经常节食但屡遭失败的人，是正确答案。
本题是细节考查题。题目是：男士和女士节食的原因是否相同？ 选B的依据是最后一段："For women, looks are more important...But in comparison, men are more focused on their long-term well-being.”对于女性来说，外表重于一切……相比之下，男性则更为注重长期健康。所以，选项B女性节食为好看而男性节食为健康，是正确答案。 -

Women,Keep Dieting!
To most women who are trying to keep slim,dieting can seem to last a lifetime,or to be more exact,31 years,for researchers have found that is how long the average woman spends on a diet over the course of her life.
A university did a research on diet of British people for as long as 10 years,whose result revealed such a picture.British women spend averagely six months a year counting the calories and more than one fifth are on a permanent diet throughout their lifetime in a seemingly never-ending pursuing the perfect figure.
However,they aren't the only ones waging a constant fight against the loose fat. The average adult male spends 28 years losing weight,the poll has discovered.It found that over a tenth of the UK population is currently dieting in a bid to shed the pounds after feasting on festive treats over the Christmas period.Though holding the best intentions,three quarters of those who began their New Year with the firm resolution to lose weight give up by the end of the week.The average diet lasts 5.5 weeks,with the post-Christmas fast being even shorter at just three weeks.Half of slimmers throw in the towel due to lack of determination,while a quarter of interviewee answered that they give up because the strict diet regime makes them moody or depressed.The most determined dieters of all are aged from 45 to 64,almost a quarter spending up to a year slimming. In comparison,those aged between 18 and 24 are more likely to be yo-yo dieters,with a fifth giving up within a month.
The survey of 1,446 of men and women found that nearly two thirds of the UK population are unhappy with their body and feel that being thinner would make them happier.
For women,looks are more important,with over half reporting that they diet to wear fashionable clothes and a third of those surveyed said they watched their weight in a bid to feel more attractive. But in comparison,men are more focused on their long-term well-being,with over a third saying they wanted to lose weight to be more healthy.Who does the author refer to by the expression"yo-yo dieters"in Line 10,Paragraph 3?
A:People who like to play yo-yo.
B:People who constantly diet and fail.
C:People who without a strong will.
D:People who diet for a long time.答案：B解析：本题是细节考查题。题干是：根据短文内容，女性平均一生中花多长时间节食？选B的依据是第一段第一句："To most women who are trying to keep slim, dieting can seem to last a lifetime, or to be more exact, 31 years… ”对于多数想保持苗条身材的女性来说，节食可能是件一辈子的事。确切点说，是31年。所以选项B 31年，与原文意思相符。

Losing Weight
Girls as young as 10 years old are dieting and in danger of developing unhealthy attitudes about weight,body image and food,a group of Toronto researchers reported Tuesday.
Their study of 2,279 girls aged 10 to 14 showed that while the vast majority had healthy weights,nearly a third felt they were overweight and were trying to lose pounds. Even at the tender age of 10,nearly 32 percent of girls felt"too fat"and 3 1 percent said they were trying to diet.
McVey,a researcher at the Hospital for Sick Children in Toronto,and her colleagues analyzed data collected in a number of surveys of southern Ontario school girls between 1993 and 2003,reporting their findings in Tuesday's issue of the Canadian Medical Association Journal.
Nearly 80 percent of the girls had a healthy body weight and only 7.2 percent were considered overweight using standard weight-to-height ratios.Most researchers suggest the rate of overweight children in this country is several times higher than that figure.
Nearly 30 percent of the girls reported they were currently trying to lose weight,though few admitted to dangerous behavior such as self-induced vomiting.
Still,a test that measured attitudes towards eating showed 10.5 percent of survey participants were already at risk of developing an eating disorder.
"We're not talking about kids who've been prescribed a diet because they're above average weight or overweight. We're talking about children who are within a healthy weight range.And they have taken it upon themselves to diet to lose weight,"McVey said,acknowledging she found the rates disturbing. She said striking a balance between healthy weights and healthy attitudes towards food and body image is a complex task,with no easy solutions.The study showed that most of the girls______.
A: were overweight
B: were on a diet
C: had unhealthy attitudes about weight
D: had a healthy body weight答案：D解析：文章第二段中的第一句和第四段中的第-句先后提到，接受调查的女孩中的绝大多数体重都在健康范围内。
文章的第二段提到，有将近1/3的女孩认为自己超重。
文章的第二段提到，接受调查的是年龄为10岁至14岁的女孩。
文章的第三段提到，主要研究人员McVey女士在一家医院工作。
文章的第六段提到，有关体重、体形和饮食等的不健康态度使得一些女孩子面临饮食失调的危险。 -
