15.Parents whose children show a special interest in a sport feel very difficult to make a decision about their children's careers.Should they allow their children to train to become top sports men or women?For many children it means starting schoolwork very young,and going out with friends and other interests have to take a second place.It's very difficult to explain to a young child why he or she has to train five hours a day,even at the weekend,when most of his or her friends are playing.
Another problem is of course money.In many countries money for training is available from government for the best young sportsmen and women.If this help can not be given,it means that it is the parents who have to find the time and the money to support their child's development and sports clothes,transport to competitions,special equipment,etc.
Many parents are worried that it is dangerous to start serious training in a sport at an early age.Some doctors agree that young muscles may be damaged by training before they are properly developed.Professional ( 專業(yè)的) trainers however,believe that it is only by training young that you can reach the top as a successful sports person.It is clear that very few people do reach the top,and both parents and children should be prepared for failure even after many years of training.
52.This article is probably taken fromD.
A.a letter                      
B.an advertisement
C.a personal diary               
D.a newspaper article
53.According to the passage parents whose children show a special interest in sport

C.have to get medical advice from doctors about training methods
D.prefer their children to be trained as young as possible
54.Which of the following statements is NOT true?C
A.It's hard for a young child to understand why he or she has to spend so much time training.
B.Early training may damage their muscles.
C.Most children may become professional sports men or women after a long period of training.
D.It's very expensive for parents to support their child's development in sports.
55.The underlined phrase"to take a second place"meansB.
A.to repeat the activities some other day
B.to become less important
C.to be of no importance
D.to happen again.

分析 文章講述了很多孩子從小就開始練習體育,但是卻又一個不太確定的未來,到底該不該讓孩子從小練習體育,很多家長很糾結!

解答 DACB
52  D 推理題.利用排除法,這篇文章不可能是信件,廣告,或者是日記.是關于兒童該不該接受訓練的,應該是從報紙上的文章里截取的. 
53  A  細節(jié)題.根據(jù)第一段第一行Parents whose children show a special interest in a sport feel very difficult to make a decision about their children's careers.可知 孩子對體育感興趣的父母感覺對于孩子的職業(yè)的選擇難以確定,故選A.
54  C 推理題.根據(jù)文章最后兩句話It is clear that very few people do reach the top,and both parents and children should be prepared for failure even after many years of training.可知很少的孩子最后能成為運動員,那么C錯誤. 
55  B  猜測詞義題.根據(jù)本句For many children it means starting schoolwork very young,and going out with friends and other interests have to take a second place.可知參加體育訓練的孩子必須把訓練放在第一位,自然其他的事情就不是那么的重要了.

點評 學生需要認真閱讀原文,把握文章大意,對文章脈絡有整體的了解,能仔細查找文中細節(jié),并能根據(jù)文章內容進行合理的推測判斷.

10.Science can't explain the power of pets,but many studies have shown that the company of pets can help lower blood pressure (血壓) and raise ch ances of recovering from a heart attack,reduce loneliness and spread all-round good cheer.
Any owner will tell you how much joy a pet brings.For some,an animal provides more comfort than a husband/wife.A 2002 study by Karen Allen of the State University of New York measured stress (緊張) levels and blood pressure in people-half of them pet owners-while they performed 5 minutes of mental arithmetic (算術) or held a hand in ice water.Subjects completed the tasks alone,with a husband/wife,a close friend or with a pet.People with pets did it best.Those tested with their animal friends had smaller change in blood pressure and returned most quickly to baseline heart rates.With pets in the room,people also made fewer math mistakes than when doing in front of other companions.It seems people feel more relaxed (放松)around pets,says Allen,who thinks it may be because pets don't judge.
A study reported last fall suggests that having a pet dog not only raises your spirits but may also have an effect on your eating habits.Researchers at Northwestern Memorial Hospital spent a year studying 36 fat people and their equally fat dogs on diet-and-exercise programs; a separate group of 56 people without pets were put on a diet program.On average,people lost about 11 pounds,or 5% of their body weight.Their dogs did even better,losing an average of 12 pounds,more than 15% of their body weight.Dog owners didn't lose any more weight than those without dogs but,say r esearchers,got more exercise overall-mostly with their dogs-and found it worth d oing.
29.What does the text mainly discuss?A
A.What pets bring to their owners.
B.How pets help people calm down.
C.People's opinions of keeping pets.
D.Pet's value in medical research.
30.We learn from the text that a person with heart disease has a better chance of getting well ifB.
A.he has a pet companion
B.he has less stress of work
C.he often does mental arithmetic
D.he is taken care of by his family
31.According to Allen,why did the people do better with pets around when completing stressful tasks?C
A.They have lower blood pressure.
B.They become more patient.
C.They are less nervous.
D.They are in higher spirits.
32.The research mentioned in the last paragraph reports thatA.
A.people with dogs did more exercise
B.dogs lost the same weight as people did
C.dogs liked exercise much more than people did
D.people without dogs found the program unhelpful.

7.The spread of Western eating habits around the world is bad for human health and the environment.These findings come from a new report in the journal Nature.
David Tillman,a professor of ecology at the University of Minnesota,America,examined information from 100countries to identify what people ate and how diet affected health.He noted a movement beginning in the 1960s.He found that as nations industrialized(工業(yè)化),population increased and earnings rose,more people began to adopt what has been called the Western diet.The Western diet is high in sugar,fat,oil and meat.By eating these foods,people began to get fatter and sicker.David Tillman says overweight people are at greater risk for non-infectious diseases like diabetes (糖尿。 and heart disease.
Unfortunately when people become industrialized,if they adopt this Western diet,they are going to have these same health problems,especially in developing countries in Asia.China is an example where the number of diabetes cases has been jumping from less than one percent to 10percent of the population as they began to industrialize over a 20-year period.And that is happening all across the world,in Mexico,in Nigeria and so on.
And,a diet bad for human beings,is also bad for the environment.As the world's population grows,more forests and tropical areas will become farmland for crops or grasslands for cattle.We are likely to have more greenhouse gas in the future from agriculture than that coming out of all forms of transportation right now.
Mr.Tillman calls the link between diet,the environment and human health,"a dilemma":a problem offering a difficult choice.He says one possible solution is leaving the Western diet behind.
28.According to the passage,more greenhouse gas might be given off in the future fromA.
A.agriculture                      
B.developing countries
C.transportation                    
D.developed countries
29.David Tillman believes thatC.
A.people in tropical areas are more likely to have heart disease.
B.the Western diet is the only choice as the nation develops.
C.diet,the environment and human health are closely connected.
D.traditional diets are more balanced than the Western diet.
30.We can infer from the passage thatD.
A.Nigeria has the largest number of diabetes cases.
B.overweight people are at higher risk of infectious diseases.
C.the examined information comes from developing countries.
D.industrialization contributes to the spread of the Western diet.
31.The main purpose of the passage is toB.
A.call on us to protect the environment.
B.warn us of the danger of the Western diet.
C.remind us of the importance of health.
D.advise us to have a balanced diet.

4.Commercial advertisement was once thought of as a technique of the marketers to inform the potential buyers about the availability of certain products.It was seen more as a medium to inform the buyers rather than persuade them to buy.The present day marketers see advertisement as a medium to damage the image of their competitors and their products.This indeed,is an undesirable and an immoral practice.Instead of speaking about their own products,these marketers speak about the drawbacks (often without any basics) of the competing products.
People watching TV advertisements would notice that there has always been an advertisement war between the marketers of different consumer goods.A few such cases are given below.
1.Parachute Coconut Oil vs.V.V.D.Gold
Some time back,the producer of V.V.D Gold Coconut Oil claimed in their TV advertisement that only their products was superior and the one sold in blue colour bottles (the reference was to Parachute coconut oil) was suitable only for un-natural hair.
2.Tata Salt vs.Captain Cook
Tata salt was first iodised (碘處理) salt marketed by an Indian Company.It has been enjoying a good and steady market.Captain Cook,another producer of iodised salt,who entered the market later,had to adopt some strategy to get control of the market.The TV advertisement of Captain Cook stressed on‘Free flow'of their salt when transferred to a container.The producer of Tata Salt retaliated (報復) by saying that the claim of Captain Cook was a trick and those who were quality conscious should deal with it with caution.
3.Pepsi vs.Coco Cola
Coca Cola was selected as the official soft drink for the Wills World Cricket 1996.When the cricket series was on,the marketers of Pepsi constantly advertised on TV.Their advertisement gave the idea that the cricketers preferred only Pepsi and as a matter of fact there was nothing official about it.
4.Horlicks vs.Complan
Sometime back,the TV advertisement of Complan,a health drink directly attacked Horlicks,which has been in the market for several decades.The claim of Complan was that their brand (which according to them was Brand C) has a higher percentage of ingredients (材料) compared to Brand H (reference was nothing but to Horlicks).
The above examples clearly show how the technique of advertisement is misused by some marketers to ruin the image of their competitors.This,certainly,is not a healthy trend.
Any marketer should only speak about his products and not about his competitors'products.The awareness of consumers has certainly increased over the years and they are no longer easily taken in.There are many consumer products like salt,oil shaving blades etc.But one thing for sure is that offering the same product in a different container will not make the product different.
Mass media like Radio,Television and newspaper should not allow advertisements that tell lies.Legal regulations,in this regard,should also be made stricter.
