8.(36)F When a starving man gets a meal,he begins to think about an overcoat; when an executive gets a new sports car,visions of country clubs and pleasure beats dance into view.
The many wants of mankind might be regarded as making up several levels.(37)C
The first and most basic level of wants involves food.Once this want is satisfied,a second level of wants appears:clothing and some sort of shelter.By the end of World War II these wants were satisfied for a great majority of Americans.(38)EIt included such items as automobile sand new houses.
By 1957or 1958this third level of wants was fairly well satisfied.Then,in the late 1950s a fourth level of wants appeared:the"life-enriching"level.While the other levels involve physical satisfaction-the feeding,comfort,safety,and transportation of the human body-this level stresses mental needs for recognition,achievement and happiness.It includes a variety of goods and services,many of which could be called"luxury"items.Among them are vacation trips,the best medical care,and entertainment.(39)B
One this level,a greater percentage of consumer spending goes to services,while on the first three levels more is spent on goods.Will consumers raise their sights to a fifth level of wants as their income increases,or will they continue to demand luxuries and personal services on the fourth level?
A fifth level probably would involve wants that can be achieved best by community action.Consumers may be spending more on taxes to pay for government action against disease,ignorance,crime and prejudice.(40)A In this way,we can enjoy more fully the good things on the first four levels.

A.At this stage,we now may seek to ensure the health,safety,and leisure.
B.Also included here are fancy foods and the latest styles in clothing.
C.When there is money enough to satisfy one level of wants,another level appears.
D.There are several levels of wants in one's life.
E.Then a third level appeared.
F.Human wants seem endless.
G.Different people have different wants on each level.

分析 本文屬于說明文閱讀,作者通過這篇文章主要向我們描述了人的欲望沒有止境,當(dāng)一個(gè)欲望滿足以后,第二個(gè)欲望就會(huì)出現(xiàn).

解答 36.F.推理判斷題.本段下文When a starving man gets a meal,he begins to think about an overcoat介紹的是人的欲望沒有止境.即"人的欲望永無止境"符合語境;故選F.
37.C.推理判斷題.根據(jù)后文The first and most basic level of wants involves food.Once this want is satisfied,a second level of wants appears可知人的欲望是由好幾層組成的.當(dāng)一個(gè)欲望滿足以后,第二個(gè)欲望就會(huì)出現(xiàn);故選C.
38.E.推理判斷題.根據(jù)前一句到第二次世界大戰(zhàn)末期這些欲望大部分都得到了滿足.以及下文"By 1957 or 1958 this third level of wants was fairly well satisfied."可知此處指的是第三個(gè)層次的欲望出現(xiàn)了;故選E.
39.B.推理判斷題.前兩句It includes a variety of goods and services,many of which could be called"luxury"items.Among them are vacation trips,the best medical care,and entertainment列舉了假期旅游,醫(yī)療保健還有娛樂等欲望,繼續(xù)補(bǔ)充說明前面這些欲望包括哪些內(nèi)容;故選B.
40.A.推理判斷題.前文描述了第五個(gè)層次的欲望的內(nèi)容,以及下文"這樣,我們就能夠更全面地享受我們前四個(gè)階段的好的東西."即"在這個(gè)階段,我們現(xiàn)在可能尋求健康,安全與休閑的保證."最符合語境;故選A.

點(diǎn)評(píng) 七選五閱讀是完成性閱讀,和完形填空很類似,不同的是一個(gè)選詞,一個(gè)選句子.解題時(shí),要注意上下文語境,充分考慮信息詞(選項(xiàng)中和空格前后句子中相同或相近的詞),選出最符合語境的句子.

6.More than four in 10cancers-600,000in the UK alone-could be prevented if people led healthier lives,say experts.The population of the UK is about 63,000,000.
Latest figures from Cancer Research UK show smoking is the biggest avoidable risk factor,followed by unhealthy diets.It advises people to live healthily,limit alcohol intake and do regular exercise.
According to the figures from 2007to 2011,more than 300,000cases of cancer recorded were linked to smoking.A further 145,000were linked to unhealthy diets containing too much processed food.Obesity contributed to 88,000cases and alcohol to 62,200.Sun damage to the skin and physical inactivity were also contributing factors.
Professor Max Parkin,a Cancer Research UK researcher,says:"There's now little doubt that certain lifestyle choices can have a big influence on cancer risk,with research around the world all pointing to the same key risk factors.
"Of course everyone wants to enjoy some extra treats during the Christmas holidays so we don't want to ban beef pies and wine but it's a good time to think about taking up some healthy habits for 2015.
"Leading a healthy lifestyle can't guarantee someone won't get cancer but we can stack the odds in our favour by taking positive steps."
Public Health England says a healthy lifestyle can play an important role in reducing cancer risk.It says campaigns such as Smokefree,Dry January and Change4Life Sugar Swaps all aim to raise public awareness.It's important that we continue to make progress in noticing cancer earlier and improving treatments,but helping people understand how they can reduce their risk of developing cancer in the first place remains important in dealing with cancer.
28.Which of the following is the third biggest avoidable cancer factor?A
A.Obesity.
B.Alcohol intake.
C.Unhealthy diets.
D.Physical inactivity.
29.According to Professor Max Parkin,A.

B.improve our lives

D.decrease our cancer risk

3.It was a late Wednesday night when the dreading phone call reached our home.I sat up,so I could hear the phone call better.To my surprise,I heard my mom burst into tears."Get the car,Dean!Andrea has been in a car accident."
We ran every stop sign on the way to the hospital and our tires screeched around every corner.We got to the hospital,but were not allowed to see Andrea.The next morning,after wearing masks,we were allowed to go to the ICU to see Andrea.Well,the least I could say was that everything was injured in her body and she lost all of her memories.It was a fatal accident.
Over the next two months,I lived more at the hospital than I did at my house.I watched as Andrea worked so hard to gain back everyday motor skills.She never once complained or pitied herself,her determined spirit was shining through.After two weeks in the ICU and two months of the regular hospital treatment,Andrea was able to come home.She missed several months of school,so it was hard for her to catch up.Andrea had tasks to accomplish,and no matter how hard it was,she stuck with them until t he job was done.Though busy with dealing with pain and therapy,she always found time to love and play with me.
I'll never forget the impact that this incident made on my life.I admire her strong-willed personality and her determined spirit.Today she is perfectly normal,despite the scars and the pins holding her leg in place.I couldn't ask for a better sister,hero,or best friend.

It is important for parents to know how to help their kids eat healthy.Here are a few easy ways.
Parents control the supply lines.   
   (31)FThough kids may keep asking for less nutritious foods,parents should decide which foods are regularly provided in the house.Kids won't go hungry.They'll eat what's available in the fridge at home.

Find better ways to say"I love you."When foods are used to reward kids and show love,they may start to turn to food when feeling worried or unhappy.(34)DKids do as you do.

17.She continued to see her friends,but gave up going to cafès to see them."Instead of meeting for lunch in a cafè as usual,we'd take sandwiches and home-made soup and eat in the park,"said Kath.She made the soup every morning from chicken given away by a local shop and whatever cheap vegetables she could find.She found out that small food shops often sell whatever is left over at the end of the day very cheaply because they cannot keep it overnight.She really lived a simple life.
Kath picked fruit from bushes and trees and looked out for free buffets(自助餐)."I was the queen of the buffet.Every time there was a public event and a crowd was needed,I was there.I took my friends out to free events,too.I couldn't buy drinks for them or anything like that so I'd take them to art openings."

During the 365days of her experiment she managed to keep to her budget(預(yù)算).By the end of the year,Kath was able to use some of the£10,000salary she had saved up to buy a special gift for her brother Danny.She said,"Before,I enjoyed spending money on treats,like chocolate and weekends away,but now I don't see the need for expensive things.I don't spend much at all,though it is probably more than£1a day."
