分析 本文是一篇廣告應用文．本文介紹了墨爾本海洋水族館的基本情況，主要是水族館的開放時間、位置、到達方式、便利設施和服務條款等內(nèi)容．

解答 56．答案A．細節(jié)理解題．根據(jù)文章第一句"situated in the heart of Melbourne's CBD"可知墨爾本海洋水族館位于市CBD的中心．根據(jù)"Having 12amazing zones of discovery"可知是discovery而不是places，故選項B錯誤；根據(jù)"Last admission is at 5：00pm"，可知允許進入的最后時間為5：00，而不是6：00，故選項C錯誤．根據(jù)"opposite Crown Entertainment Complex．"可知是opposite對面，而不是beside旁邊，故D項錯誤．所以答案為A．
57．答案D．細節(jié)理解題．根據(jù)"Getting to Sea Life Melbourne Aquarium"部分的內(nèi)容而知，選項A的"Southern Cross train station"文中沒有出現(xiàn)；根據(jù)"in and around the city"可知B項錯誤；C項文中沒有涉及．根據(jù)"and also routes 70and 75"可知D項正確．所以答案為D．
58．答案B．細節(jié)理解題．根據(jù)"no public car parking"可知A項錯誤；根據(jù)"in wheelchairs with full access"，可知為游客提供輪椅通道，所以B項正確；文中沒有提互聯(lián)網(wǎng)的事，也沒有提到水族館提供任何交通服務，故C、D兩項錯誤．所以答案為B．
59．答案C．細節(jié)理解題．根據(jù)"Please print out all tickets purchased and present at the front entrance of Sea Life Melbourne Aquarium．No ticket，no entry!可知，在水族館入口處要提交門票，否則不得入內(nèi)．所以答案為C．

16．In the United States，30percent of the grown-up population has a"weight"problem．To many people，the cause is clear：they eat too much．But scientific experiments do little to support this idea．Going back to the American of 1910，we find that people were thinner than today，yet they are more food．In those days people worked harder physically，walked more，used machines much less，and didn't watch television．
Several modern studies，besides，have shown that fatter people do not eat more on average than thinner people．In fact，some research work，such as 1970study of 3，545London office workers，reports that fat people eat less than thinner people on the average．
Studies show that thin people are more active than fat people．A study by the research group of School of Medicine at Stanford University found the following interesting facts．The more a man ran，the greater body fat he lost．The more he ran，the greater he needed for food．Thus，those who ran the most ate the most，yet lost the greater amount of body fat．

61．What kind of physical problem do many grown-up American have？C
A．They are too thin．                B．They work too hard．

C．Fat people eat more food but lose greater amount of body fat．
D．Thin people run less，but eat more food．
63．Based on the number given in the article，if there are 500adult Americans，how many of them will have weight problem？D

13．Hands down，Chinese company Lao Gan Ma makes the most delicious hot sauce we've ever tasted．Seriously，don't be fooled by the grumpy-looking lady on the jar!The deeply caramelized chilies，garlic，onions，soybeans and peanuts give this chili paste unbelievable flavor，while Sichuan peppercorns add a mouth-tingling zip…

Below are comments from netizens．

3．This stuff is dangerously addictive．I wanted something similar to what I got at the Szechuan restaurant．Well I then came across this and was pleased with the reviews then purchased two jars．SO GLAD I DID．It does have some tiny peanut pieces that are crispy toasty，yum．The heat is very notable and smooth．
4．This product is more of a dipping sauce for eating with plain rice．But it took about a fifth of the bottle to fully season 2+cups of brown rice．At 8.59/bottlethisistooexpensive．IfounditinmylocalAsianmarketfor2.79．Turns out there are about numerous versions produced by this company，some of which may be worth exploring．

17．Everyone becomes a little more forgetful as they get older，but men's minds decline（衰退） more than women's，according to the results of a worldwide survey．
    Certain differences seem to be inherent in male and female brains：men are better at dealing with mental images （useful in mathematical reasoning and spatial （三維空間） skills），while women tend to be better at recalling information from their memories （helpful with language skills and remembering the locations of objects）．
    Many studies have looked for a connection between sex and the amount of mental decline people experience as they age，but the results have been mixed．
    Some studies found more age-related decline in men than in women，while others saw the opposite or even no relationship at all between sex and mental decline．Those results could be improper because the studies involved older people，and women live longer than men．The men tested are the survivors，"so they're the ones that may not have shown such cognitive （認知的） decline，"said study team leader Elizabeth of the University of Warwick in England．
    People surveyed completed four tasks that tested sex-related cognitive skills：matching an object to its rotated （旋轉(zhuǎn)的） form，matching lines shown from the same angle，typing as many words in a particular collection as possible in the given time，e．g．"objects usually colored gray"，and recalling the location of objects in a line drawing．The first two were tasks which men are usually good at； the latter are almost controlled by women．
    Within each age group studied，men and women performed better in their separate task on average．Generally speaking，women showed obviously less decline than men though performance declined with age for both sexes．
71．The underlined word"inherent"in the second paragraph meansC．
A．difficult            B．native               C．natural          D．a(chǎn)bsolute
72．Which of the following tasks are men better at？A
A．Matching lines shown from the same angle．
B．Typing as many words in a particular category as possible•
C．Recalling the location of objects in a line drawing．
D．Recalling information from their brain's files．
73．Which of the following statements can be inferred from the passage？D
A．Men are good at typing words in a particular category in the given time．
B．Women are good at dealing with mathematic problems．
C．Men do better than women when it comes to learning English．
D．Women stand out at remembering people's names．
74．What important factor affects the correctness of the research results？C
A．People tested come from all over the world．B．Men live longer than women．
C．the old men tested may not have shown such cognitive （認知的） decline．
D．The researchers got their results mixed．
75．The author aims to tell us thatB．
A．the survey on human's mind decline was done recently   
B．men's minds decline more with age
C．everyone becomes a little more forgetful as they get older
D．women's minds perform better than men's．

18．More and more parents are worrying about their daughters who have become overweight．Girls who think they aren't popular at school are at higher risk for weight gain，according to a new study．It's long been known that being overweight can lead to social exclusion （排斥） for teens，but researchers at Harvard University discovered：whether a student's opinions of her social position played a role in her weight．
To find out，the researchers measured the body weight of nearly 4，500 girls aged 12 to 18．
Two years later，the researchers found，all of the girls had gained weight-no surprise，since they were all growing．But girls who thought they were less popular at school were at a 70 percent higher risk of gaining extra weight．
The researchers considered something else besides the collected information，including whether a child was overweight at the start of the study，family income，a mother's weight，diet，television viewing habits and some other things that can affect childhood weight gain．But the opinions of girl's popularity are more likely to affect he girls'weight．
Experts suggested that parents concerned about a girl's weight should look not only at eating habits but also at their child's social network，encouraging relationships with friends and joining in group activities．Meanwhile schools should also organize more programs to help girls build social skills，they added．
64．Which kind of girls is less likely to gain extra weight？B
A．Those who like watching TV for a long time per day．
B．Those whose parents show no sign of being overweight．
C．Those who are self-centered and not optimistic．
D．Those who enjoy meals rich in high oil and fat．
65．What can parents do in controlling their teenage girls'weight？D
A．They encourage their kids to study hard．
B．They ask their daughters eat as they please
C．They record the body weight measurements of their own kids．
D．They make their kids communicate more with others．
66．It can be concluded from this passage thatA．
A．A rising number of teenager girls are becoming overweight
B．Some schools have already organized various activities for teenager girls．
C．Girls aged 17 are certainly heavier than those aged 14．
D．The researchers reached the final discovery only by studying the collected information．
67．How is the text organized？B
