1、Stop Eating Too much"Clean your plate!"and" Be a member of the clean-plate club!" Just about every kid in the US has heard this from a parent orgrandparent. Often, it\'s accompanied by an appeal: "Just think about those starving orphans (孤儿) in Africa!" Sure, we should be grateful forevery bite of food. Unfortunately, many people in the US take too many bites. Instead of saying "clean the plate", perhaps we should save some food fortomorrow.According to news reports, US restaurants are partly to blame forthe growing bellies(肚子). A waiter puts a plate of food in front of each customer, with two to four times the amount recommended by the government, according to a USA Today story. Americans traditionally associate quantity with value and most restaurants try to give them that. They prefer to have customers complain about too much food rather than too little.Barbara Rolls, a nutrition (营养) professorat Pennsylvania State University, told USA Today that restaurant portion sizes began to grow in the 1970s, the same time that the American waistline(腰围) began to expand.Health experts have tried to get many restaurants to serve smaller portions. Now, apparently, some customers are calling forthis too. The restaurant industry trade magazine QSR reported last month that 57 percent of more than 4,000 people surveyed believed restaurants served portions that were too large; 23 percent had no opinion; 20 percent disagreed. But a closer look at the survey indicates that many Americans who can\'t afford fine dining still prefer large portions. Seventy percent of those earn at least $ 150,000 per year prefer smaller portions; but only 45 percent of those earning less than $25, 000 want smaller.It\'s not that working class Americans don\'t want to eat healthy. It\'s just that, after long hours at low-paying jobs, getting less on their plate hardly seems like a good deal. They live from paycheck (薪金支票) to paycheck, happy to save a little money fornext year\'s Christmas presents.(2008年)Parents in the United States tend to ask their children ______.【单选题】
A.to save food fortomorrow
B.to wash the dishes
C.mottos eat too much
D.not to waste food
正确答案:D
答案解析:题干问“美国父母总是让他们的孩子做什么”。参见第一段,其中提到:每个美国孩子都能从父母或爷爷奶奶那里听到这样的话,“把你盘子里的东西吃光”。故正确答案为D。
2、Longer Lives Are Happier Lives1 In recent years, scientists have been studying ways to change the body\'s chemistry to reduce the signs and effects of aging.2 0negroupof researchers in Britain has performed experiments on a kind of worm. They have managed to increase the worm\'s normal life span of 20 days by up to 400%. They hope that they will be able to use this research to help humans live longer. However, this is a long way in the future. Another disadvantage is that when (orif) the new technology is successfully developed, it will probably be very expensive. The chance to live longer will only be available to a very few, very rich people.3 Anothergroupof scientists is studying people who have reached a very old age. They believe that this may show what has kept these people healthy and alive forso long. So, if we look at people who have lived into very old age, what do they have in common? Usually they have led a physically active life. This does not mean going to a gym orrunning ten miles every day. Simple, enjoyable activities like walking seem to be more likely to keep you healthy. Very old people also eat a good, varied diet. Simple foods like vegetable, rice, pasta and fish are the best.4 However, there may be one thing even more important than physical factors like diet and exercise. Research shows that personality, and the way a person thinks, play an important part in how long they will live. People who live into very old age always seem to enjoy life. They have a sense of humorand get satisfaction from simple things. They do not constantly think about the past, but are interested in the present and the future. They do not let life get boring, but have interests and hobbies which keep their minds active and they are open to new ideas. One Japanese man who lived to be 120 commented that the secret of his long life was "not worrying". To express it simply, people who are happy and positive about life are more likely to live longer.5 So, eat well, exercise well, and enjoy life, and you will have a good chance of living to a healthy, happy old age.According to the passage, the healthiest exercise is ____.【单选题】
A.Running 10 miles every day
B.It does not exist
C.They hope to find out what has made them live so long
D.walking
E.enjoy life
F.It will be very expensive
正确答案:D
答案解析:题干问最健康的锻炼是什么,选项中只有一个walking是和锻炼有关的。

4、An Early Form of Jazz MusicMusic comes in many forms; most countries have a style of their own. At the turn of the last century, when jazz was born, America had no prominent music 0f its own. No one knows exactly when was invented orby whom. But it began to be heard in the early 1890s. Jazz is America\'s contribution to popular music. In contrast to classical music, which follows formal European traditions, jazz is spontaneous and free in form. It bubbles with energy, expressing the moods, interests, and emotions of the people. In the 1920s\' jazz sounded like America. and so it does today. The origins 0f the music are as interesting as the music itself. American Negroes, orblacks, as they are called today, were the jazz pioneers. They were brought to the Southern states as slaves. They were sold to plantation owners and forced to work long hours. When a Negro died, his friends and relatives formed a procession to carry to body to the cemetery. In New Orleans, a band often accompanied the body . On the way to the cemetery the band played slow, solemn music, suited to the occasion. Furthermore 0n the way home the mood changed. Spirits lifted. Death had removed one of their numbers, but the living were glad to be alive . The band played happy music, improvising on both the harmony and the melody of the tunes ____ at the funeral. This music made everyone want to dance. It was an early form ofjazz. 【单选题】
A.sung
B.showed
C.played
D.expressed
正确答案:C
答案解析:能和tunes搭配的只有sung和played两个,但是上文中提到在新奥尔良葬礼上总有一个乐队在演奏,所以这里应该选played而不是sung,
5、A Strong Greenhouse Gas1 Methane is a colorless, odorless gas; it is also a potent greenhouse gas, and once released into the atmospheres, it absorbs beat radiating from Earth\'s surface. That\'s why methane is a majorcontributorto the planet\'s increasing temperature rise orglobal warming. Molecule formolecule, methane\'s heat-trapping power in the atmosphere is 21 times stronger than carbon dioxide, the most abundant greenhouse gas.2 With 13 billion cows belching almost constantly around the world (100 million in the U. S. alone), it\'s no surprise that menace released by livestock is one of the chief sources of the gas. Other prime methane sources: petroleum, drilling, coal mining, solid-waste landfills and wetlands.3 Greenhouse gases like methane and carbon dioxide make up only a small part of Earth\'s atmosphere, which is 78 percent nitrogen and nearly 21 percent oxygen. and without greenhouse gases to trap the sun\'s heat and warm the planet, life as we know it couldn\'t exist. But in the last200 years, human activity that requires burning oil, natural gas, and coal forenergy has magnified the greenhouse effect.4 Atmospheric concentrations of methane have more than doubled in the last two centuries. Blame forthis often focuses on big industries and gas-guzzling vehicles. But agriculture plays a majorrole, too. In the past 40 years alone, the global cattle population has doubled.5 Cows munch mostly grasses and hay yet they grow big and hefty. Why? Because of the rumen. The rumen holds 160 liters of food and billions of microbes. These microscopic bacteria and protozoa break down cellulose and Fiber into digestible nutrients. A cow couldn\'t live without its microbes. As the microbes digest cellulose, trey release methane. The process occurs in all animals with a rumen (cows, sheep, and goats, forexample), and it makes them very gassy. It\'s part of their normal digestion process. When they drew their cud, they regurgitate some food to rechew it, and all this gas comes out. The average cow expels 600 liters of methane a day.That\'s why we say livestock gas is also a majorfactorof causing the global warming.Methane is ____ to the intensifying greenhouse effect.【单选题】
A.one of tire majorcontributors
B.the ever-increasing atmospheric concentration of greenhouse gases
C.big and hefty cows
D.livestock\'s normal digestion process
E.how to cut down the cattle population
F.big industries and gas-guzzling vehicles
正确答案:A
答案解析:选A的依据在第1段的第2句和最后一句。
6、Status of Teachers in AmericaAt present, in many American cities especially, many teachers in the public schools say they are underpaid. They point to jobs such as secretary ortruck driver, which often pay more to start than that of the teacher. In many other fields, such as law, medicine, computer science, a beginning worker may make more than a teacher who has taught forseveral year.Teaching has never been a profession that attracted people interested in high salaries. It is by history a profession that has provided rewards in addition to money, the satisfaction of sharing knowledge, of influencing others, of guiding young people. But in the past several years, there are more difficulties in teaching, formany, than there are rewards.Unruly students, who would have chosen teaching as their life career in the past, are going into other fields.Another reason forthis change in teacher candidates is the changing status of women in the United States. Until the late 1960s and 1970s, one of the most popular choices forwomen was teaching. But as other professions, such as law and medicine opened up to women, women stopped pouring into teacher training programs. Thus, a majorpool of excellent candidates forthe teaching profession dwindled(减少).Bit by bit government officials and others realized that the status of the teacher had suffered. They talked about change. But change in a vast society like the United States is not easy. People\'s attitudes have formed over many years, and sometimes change takes many years.Which of the following can give us a true picture of jobs in the United States?【单选题】
A.People in most professions usually get the same pay at the beginning.
B.A beginning worker in medicine earns less than one in any other field. .
C.A beginning teacher earns as much as a truck driver who has worked forseveral years.
D.A teacher with several years\' teaching experience can\'t make as much as a new lawyer.
正确答案:D
答案解析:第1段第4句可知,从教多年的教师薪水比不上一个刚工作的律师。因此选D。
7、Why Would They Falsely Confess?Why on earth would an innocent person falsely confess to committing a crime? To most people, it just doesn\'t seem logical. But it is logical, say experts, if you understand what can happen in a police interrogation room.Under the right conditions, people\'s minds are susceptible to influence, and the pressure put on suspects during police grillings is enormous.______ "The pressure is important to understand, because otherwise it\'s impossible to understand why someone would say he did something he didn\'t do. The answer is: to put an end to an uncomfortable situation that will continue until he does confess. "Developmental psychologist Allison Redlich recently conducted a laboratory study to determine how likely people are to confess to things they didn\'t do. In her experiment, participants were seated at computers and told not to hit the "alt" key, because doing so would crash the systems. The researchers then intentionally crashed the computers and accused the participants of hitting the "alt" key to see if they would sign a statement falsely taking responsibility.Redlich\'s findings clearly demonstrate how easy it can be to get people to falsely confess: 59 percent of the young adults in the experiment immediately confessed. Redlich also found that the younger the participant, the more likely a false confession. Of the 15-to 16-year-olds, 72 percent signed confessions, as did 78 percent of the 12-to 13-year-olds. "There\'s no question that young people are more at risk," says Saul Kassin, a psychology professorat Williams College, who has done similar studies with similar results. "But adults are highly vulnerable too. " Both Kassin and Redlich note that the entire "interrogation" in their experiments consisted of a simple accusation-not hours of aggressive questioning-and still, most participants falsely confessed.Because of the stress of a police interrogation, they conclude, suspects can become convinced that falsely confessing is the easiest way out of a bad situation. "In some ways," says Kassin, "false confession becomes a rational decision. "【单选题】
A.In her experiment, participants were seated at computers and told not to hit the "alt" key, because doing so would crash the systems.
B."In some ways," says Kassin, "false confession becomes a rational decision. "
C."It\'s a little like somebody\'s working on them with a dental drill," says Franklin Zimring, a law professorat the University of California at Berkeley.
D."But adults are highly vulnerable too. "
E.How could an innocent person admit to doing something he didn\'t do?
F.Redlich also found that the younger the participant, the more likely a false confession.
正确答案:C
答案解析:解答此题时要注意,空格处后是一段引文,而空格处前没有引文,所以此处一定是引用了某人的话,因此答案只可能在B、C、D项中。但D项只是一句引用的话,并没有提及是谁说的,这不符常理,故排除。B项虽然提到了Kassin,但没有对其身份进行说明,这也不符合“第一次提到某人是要有所说明”的习惯(实际上他出现在第五段),故排除B项,因此只能选C项,只有此项符合上下文语境。

9、Fighting fora Brighter Future forWomenWhen I was asked what it means to be a woman running forpresident, I always gave the same answer that I was proud to be running as a woman, but I was running because thought I\'d be the best president.But I am a woman and, like millions of women, I know there are still barriers and biases (偏见) out there, often unconscious, and I want to build an America that respects and embraces the potential of every last one of us.I ran as a daughter who benefited from opportunities my mother never dreamed of. I ran as a mother who worried about my daughter\'s future and a mother who wants to leave all children brighter tomorrows.To build that future I see, we must make sure that women and men understand the struggles of their grandmothers and their mothers, and that women enjoy equal opportunities, equal pay, and equal respect.Let us resolve and work toward achieving very simple propositions (命题): there are no acceptable limits, and there are no acceptable prejudices in the 21 st century in our country.You can also be so proud of it, from now on, it will be unremarkable fora woman to win primary state victories, unremarkable to let a woman in a close race to be our nominee (被提名者), unremarkable to think that a woman can be the president of the United States. and this is truly remarkable my friends.We are disappointed that we couldn\'t go all of the way, especially the young people who put so much into this campaign. It would break my heart if, in falling short of my goal, I in any way discouraged any of you from pursuing yours.We always aim high, work hard, and care deeply about what you believe in. and when you stumble (绰倒), keep faith. And, when you\'re knocked down, get right back up and never listen to anyone who says you can\'t orshouldn\'t go on.As we gather here today in this historic, magnificent building, the 50th woman will leave the Earth and orbit (绕轨道运行) overhead. If we can blast 50 women into space, we will someday launch a woman into the White House.Hillary Clinton believed that if she were elected president of the United States, she would be the best.【单选题】

10、Robotic Highway ConesA University of Nebraska professorhas developed robotic cones and barrels. These robotic cones and barrels can move out of the way, orinto place, from computer commands made miles away. .They can even be programmed to move on their own at any particular part of the day, said Shane Farritor, an assistant professorof mechanical engineering at Nebraska.Forexample, if workers arrived at 6 am, the cones could move from the side of the highway to block off the lane at that time. and they can return to the original place at the end of the day. "It just seems like a very good application forrobots," Farritorsaid. "The robotic cones would also help remove people from hazardous jobs on the highway putting barrels and cones into place," Farritorsaid in a report on his creation.____ . The fund allowed Farritorto work on the project with graduate students at Nebraska and his assistant Steve Goddard.The robots are placed at the bottom of the cones and barrels and are small enough not to greatly change the appearance of the construction aides. "It would look exactly the same," Farritorsaid. "Normally there\'s a kind of rubbery, black base to them. We replace that with a robot. .Farritorhas talked with officials from the Nebraska Department of Roads about how the robots would be most useful to what they might needThe robots could come in handy following a slow-moving maintenance operation, like painting a stripe on a road ormoving asphalt, where now the barrels have to be picked up and moved as the operation proceeds. "That way you don\'t have to block off a l0-mile strip forthe operation. " Farritorsaid.While prototypes have been made, they are not in use anywhere. Farritorsaid he has applied fora patent and is considering what to do next. He is thinking about starting a small business. . He is also thinking about marketing the robots to roads departments and others across the country which may benefit from them.【单选题】
A.and they can return to the original place at the end of the day.
B.He is thinking about starting a small business.
C.Farritorwas "Inventorof the Year" in 2003.
D.Word on the idea began in 2002 using a National Academy of Sciences grant
E.We replace that with a robot.
F.These robotic cones and barrels can move out of the way, orinto place, from computer commands made miles away.
