The book A Big Fat Crisis: The Hidden Forces Behind Obesity Epidemic— and How We Can End It by Deborah Cohen, a senior natural scientist, is very popular now. 1. But according to this book, the following are some misunderstandings of obesity or being overweight.
1.If you're obese, blame your genes.
2. Yet, between 1980 and 2000, the number of Americans who are obese has doubled—too quickly for genetic factors to be responsible. At restaurants, a dollar puts more calories on our plates than ever before, because restaurant meals usually have more calories than what we prepare at home, so people who eat out more frequently have higher rates of obesity than those who eat out less.
2.If you're obese, you lack self?control.
Research shows that if we are faced with too much information, we have a tendency to make poor choices on diet. 3. Even, the most vigilant(警覺的)people may not be good controllers of themselves.
3.4.
Although the US Department of Agriculture estimates that fewer than 5 per cent of Americans live in the “food deserts”, about 65 per cent of the nation's population is obese. For most of us, obesity is not related to access to more fresh fruits and vegetables, but to the choices we make in supermarkets.
4.The problem is not that we eat too much, but that we don't exercise.
Michelle Obama's “Let's Move” campaign is based on the idea that if kids exercise more, childhood obesity rates will decrease. 5. In fact, although a drop in work?related physical activity may explain up to 100 fewer calories burned, leisure physical activity appears to have increased.
A.Lack of access to fresh fruits and vegetables is a cause of obesity.
B.Obesity rates have increased.
C.Fresh fruits and vegetables we choose in a supermarket are related to obesity.
D.But there was no obvious decrease in physical activity levels as obesity rates climbed in the 1980s and 1990s.
E.People hold different views on obesity.
F.People benefit a lot from physical activities.
G.Our world has become so rich in food that we can be led to consume too much in ways we can't understand.

In a time when ivory poaching(偷獵)has gotten so bad that it threatens to wipe out several animal species,a young Dutch designer is creating "egalitarian(平等主義)jewelry" made of our very own ivory—teeth.
Lucie Majerus got the idea for her "human ivory" collection after having her wisdom teeth removed.She kept them and soon realized they would make great material for a jewelry collection."Why wouldn't we value our own material instead of the precious material from other species?And what if we mine our own ivory and turn it into pearls?"she asks.
Her own teeth became a ring,but in order to create a whole collection,she needed more material,and since having more of her teeth removed wasn't a very pleasant choice,she asked her dentist to save his patient's unwanted teeth.Most people choose not to keep their pulled teeth,so they are usually donated to dentistry schools.Majerus also received the lost teeth of two of-her teachers at Design Academy Eindhoven,so she had a nice supply of human ivory to experiment with.
To turn human teeth into attractive pieces of jewelry,Lucie Majerus first bleaches(漂白)them,and then uses a stone polishing machine to shape the teeth into various shapes.
Majerus displayed her human ivory jewelry collection at this year's Dutch Design Week,and claims that people's reaction was mostly positive."Surprisingly,most people aren't frightened at the sight of the jewelry,but really like the idea,"Majerus told Fast Co Design."Some regret that they didn't keep their tooth at the dentist and some,who will have teeth taken out soon,are now looking forward to it."

A. After she bought a ring.
B. Before her wisdom teeth appeared.
C. Before she was lacking in pearls.
D. After her wisdom teeth were pulled out.

科目:高中英語 來源:甘肅省2017屆高三5月第二次診斷考試英語試卷 題型:閱讀理解
University graduates Mallorie Brodie and Lauren Hasegawa, who invented a smartphone app that tracks construction defects for commercial builders, had a tiger by the tail.
Bridgit, which they founded in 2012, launched a cloud-based communications platform that helped manage defects on construction sites, which can delay projects and result in costly repairs if left unchecked. The smartphone application lets site supervisors take photos of cracks or damaged paint, share them with employees and track the problems to solution.
More than 600 subcontractors used the pilot version in many building sites before the commercial version, called Closeout, officially launched.
Feedback(反饋)was so good that they began to wonder: Why limit their invention to a specific industry? Why not turn it into some kind of a handy tool for consumers too? This became their dilemma. In other words, should they stay the course or look for wider applications of their app?
The experts polled all agreed Bridgit should stay focused on its original goal. Ms. Hasegawa and Ms. Brodie took that advice.
As more business customers signed on, it became clear that they made the right decision. Since then, the company’s growth has been rapid.
Earlier this year, Bridgit launched Closeout, which is designed so that even the least tech-savvy can use it easily. Today, the app is being used on sites across Canada and the United States and even by top general contractors.
In October, Bridgit was named to the Canadian Innovation Exchange’s top 20 list of Canada’s most innovative (創(chuàng)新的) companies working in digital media and information and communication technology .
But Ms. Hasegawa and Ms. Brodie are not resting on their glories. They have also been collecting feedback on Closeout from customers, and they’ll launch a new version in the spring. It will target not only general contractors but developers and building owners, too.
1.What does the underlined word "defects" in Paragraph 1 probably mean?
A. Style. B. Process.
C. Drawback. D. Material.
2.What did the two graduates decide to do when the pilot version was well received?
A. Turn to the ordinary consumer market.
B. Look for wider applications of their app.
C. Turn it into a widely-used tool for consumers.
D. Continue centering on the development in construction industry.
3.Who could be their potential customers?
A. Smartphone users. B. Architects.
C. Computer programmers. D. Photographers.
4.Which of the following might be the best title?
A. Graduates’ smartphone application takes off
B. Graduates’ smartphone application has a bright future
C. Graduates’ smartphone application meets with challenges
D. Graduates’ smartphone application plays an important role in our life

Cheerleading is the fastest growing girls' sport, yet more than half of Americans do not believe it is a sport. Actually, competitive cheerleading is a sport.
A sport is a “physical activity against/with an opponent, governed by rules and conditions under which a winner is declared, and the primary purpose of the competition is a comparison of the relative skills of the participants. "Because cheerleading follows these guidelines, it is a sport.
Competitive cheerleading includes lots of physical activities. Like gymnasts, cheerleaders must learn to tumble (翻滾) . They perform lifts and tosses. This is where the "flied' are thrown in the air, held by "bases" in different positions that require strength and cooperation with other teammates.
Just as basketball and football have guidelines for competitive play, so does competitive cheerleading. The whole routine has to be completed in less than 3 minutes and 15 seconds and the cheerleaders are required to stay within a certain area.
Competitive cheerleaders' goal is to be the best. Just like gymnasts, they are awarded points for difficulty, creativity and sharpness. The more difficult a mount, the sharper the motions, the better the score. Cheerleading is a team sport so without cooperation, first place is out of reach.
Cheerleading is the number-one cause of serious sports injuries to women. Emergency room visits for cheerleading are five times the number of those for any other sport, partially because they do not wear protective gear (特定活動的服裝、設(shè)別). While many athletes are equipped with hip pads or helmets, smiling cheerleaders are tossed into the air and spiral down into the arms of trusted teammates. The fliers must remain tight at all times so that their bases can catch them safely. Also, because cheerleading is not yet recognized as a sport by many schools, neither proper matting nor high enough ceilings are provided to ensure safety. Instead, the girls use whatever space is available. More recognition of competitive cheerleading as a sport would decrease the number of injuries.
So why do many Americans not think cheerleading is a sport? Some people argue that cheerleaders are just "flirts in skirts" with their only job to entertain the crowd, but cheerleaders today work just as hard as other athletes.
Hopefully, cheerleading will become as well-known a sport as football and basketball, and even appear in the Olympics since cheerleaders are just as athletic and physically fit as those involved in the more accepted sports.
1.What does the underlined word "bases" in Paragraph 3 refer to?
A. Strength and cooperation.
B. Lifts and tosses.
C. Supporting teammates.
D. Physical activities
2.Gymnasts are mentioned in the passage to _________.
A. explain the dangers of cheerleading
B. show their similarities with cheerleaders
C. suggest cheerleaders learn to do gymnastics
D. present the guidelines of gymnastic movements
3.It can be learned from the passage that cheerleading ________
A. is a good sport for all people
B. lacks necessary guidelines to follow
C. is more than a form of entertainment
D. enjoys greater popularity than other sports
4.This passage is written mainly to
A. attract more girls to cheerleading
B. draw people's attention to cheerleading
C. call for more recognition of competitive cheerleading as a sport
D. criticize some Americans who do not think cheerleading as a sport
