Evaluating Sources (來(lái)源) of health Information
Making good choices about your own health requires reasonable evaluation. A key first step in bettering your evaluation ability is to look carefully at your sources of healthy information. Reasonable evaluation includes knowing where and how to fins relevant information, how to separate fact from opinions, how to recognize poor reasoning, and how to analyze information and the reliability of sources.
Go to the original source. Media reports often simplify the results of medical research. Find out for yourself what a study really reported, and determine whether it was based on good science. Think about the type of study.
Watch for misleading language. Some studies will find that a behaviour “contributes to” or is“ associated with” an outcome; this does not mean that a certain course must lead to a certain result. Carefully read or listen to information in order to fully understand it.
Use your common sense. If a report seems too good to be true, probably it is. Be especially careful of information contained in advertisements. Evaluate “scientific” statements carefully, and be aware of quackery(江湖騙術(shù)).
Friends and family members can be a great source of ideas and inspiration, but each of us needs to find a healthy lifestyle that works for us.
Developing the ability to evaluate reasonably and independently about the health problems will serve you well throughout your life.
A. Make choices that are right for you.
B. The goal of an ad is to sell you something.
C. Be sure to work through the critical questions.
D. And examine the findings of the original research.
E. Distinguish between research reports and public health advice.
F. Be aware that information may also be incorrectly explained by an author's point of view.
G. The following suggestions can help you sort through the health information you receive from common sources.

【答案】G;D;F;B;A
【解析】本文屬于說(shuō)明文閱讀,講述了信息來(lái)源的種類以及我們?cè)诮邮芎秃Y選信息時(shí)候的注意事項(xiàng)。

(1)G 根據(jù)以下各段中的第一句Go to the original source. 和Watch for misleading language.和Use your common sense.可知這些都是一些評(píng)估健康信息來(lái)源的建議。故G項(xiàng)“The following suggestions can help you sort through the health information you receive from common sources.”符合上下文串聯(lián)。

(2)D 根據(jù)本段第一句“Go to the original source.”可知本段表示要找到信息最初的來(lái)源。要自己去找到原來(lái)真正報(bào)道的內(nèi)容,要確認(rèn)是通過(guò)很嚴(yán)肅的方法得到的確定的信息。故D項(xiàng)“And examine the findings of the original research.”符合上下文串聯(lián)。

(3)F 本段的標(biāo)題是:Watch for misleading language.注意誤導(dǎo)性的語(yǔ)言。有些研究發(fā)現(xiàn)某些行為與某種結(jié)果有關(guān)。那么作為讀者我們要知道有些信息也許是錯(cuò)誤的解釋了,所以我們要細(xì)心閱讀以求充分理解。故F項(xiàng)“Be aware that information may also be incorrectly explained by an author's point of view.”符合語(yǔ)境。

(4)B 根據(jù)橫線前面一句Be especially careful of information contained in advertisements.可知要我們特別注意廣告里包含的信息,因?yàn)閺V告里的信息是為了向我們出售一些內(nèi)容,所以廣告的信息很可能是不準(zhǔn)確的。所以要當(dāng)心江湖騙術(shù)。故B項(xiàng)“The goal of an ad is to sell you something.”符合語(yǔ)境。

(5)A 根據(jù)橫線后一句Friends and family members can be a great source of ideas and inspiration可知朋友和家人可能是激勵(lì)信息的主要來(lái)源,但是每個(gè)人都要找到一個(gè)起作用的健康的生活方式。也就是說(shuō)要為自己選擇合適的信息來(lái)源。故A項(xiàng)“Make choices that are right for you.”正確。

【題目】This is a time of year when high school students and their families are thinking hard about college. As seniors,juniors,and parents identify their top choices,discussions typically focus on the college itself. Is the institution small or large? How strong are the academics?What is the social life like? Do I like the campus? Such considerations are important, but they can cover the all-important question:Where will these college years lead?

Applicants should think seriously about which college on their list can best prepare them for the real world. They should look for campuses that offer well-structured programs to help them form a direction for their lives and develop the capacity to take steps along that path.

One of the most striking recent phenomena about college graduates in America has been the “boomerang” student: the young person who goes away to college, has a great experience, graduates, and then moves back home for a year or two to figure out what to do with his or her life. This pattern has left many graduates – and their families – wondering whether it makes sense to spend four or more years at college, often at great expense, and finish with no clear sense of who they are or what they want to do next.

The trend points to one of the great shortcomings of many of our nation’s leading colleges and universities. Structured opportunities to think about life after graduation are rare. The formal curriculum focuses almost universally on the academic disciplines of the arts and sciences. Advising on how various majors connect to pathways into the workplace is typically haphazard (沒(méi)有條理的). Career planning offices are often shorthanded and marginal (不重要的) to college life.

It doesn’t need to be this way, and in recent years some of the country’s top colleges have enriched their academic offerings with opportunities for students to gain real-world experiences.

1According to the author, what do typical discussions on college choices ignore?

A. The function of college education in employment.

B. The difficulty in finding jobs after graduation.

C. High school students’ interests.

D. The academics of college.

2Which accounts for the “trend” mentioned in the text?

A. Students failing to behave themselves.

B. Parents overprotecting their children.

C. Students choosing majors blindly.

D. Schools lacking proper guidance.

3What will be probably discussed in the following paragraph?

A. Recipes for academic achievements.

B. Good academic programs in college.

C. Academic tips for college students.

D. Disadvantages of present college course.

4What is the best title for the text?

A. A good way to choose a college.

B. A new trend in top colleges.

C. Connect subjects with life beyond college.

D. Make college one of life’s richest experiences.

Nowadays more and more Chinese go to work with bicycle, leaving their cars at home. Why are so many people riding bicycles to work? They have different reason for it.
First, bicycles do not use up any fuel. Therefore, they cost less than other means of transport. Besides, bicycles do not need many space on the road, and it is easily to find a place for it. And everybody knows that riding a bicycle is healthy sport.
When people drive their cars to work or shop, they lost the chance to exercise, but the waste gas from the cars will pollute the air. And moreover, people feel annoying when looking for a parking lot in the busy city center. So I prefer riding a bicycle to drive a car.
We are looking forward to a cleaner and better environment by changing our life style.

It is important to introduce yourself in a creative, memorable way to distinguish yourself from the crowd. Since being witty(言辭詼諧的) doesn't always come easily, try one of these creative introductions and separate yourself from the rest.
Write your first or last name on a piece of paper. So if your name is Tom, you might say you are tireless, optimistic and mild.
Then say that you will do so in the words of your“best and worst critic”— your mother. By breaking the ice in this way, you can go on in either a humorous or serious fashion.
Introduce yourself silently, by drawing a picture of yourself on a large sheet of paper. In fact, in some situations, it may be better if you don't. Put a title at the top of your drawing, if you like, such as “Hello! This is me.”
Turn the traditional introduction upside down by describing yourself in exactly opposite terms of who you are. Have fun with this“back door approach”, and keep people guessing just how much you are exaggerating(夸張). Don't bother calling me tomorrow, because I will be hiding in a closet. Send text messages to my girlfriend while I drink a Bud Light on the job.
A. This introduction requires you to be gifted in art.
B. Freely admit that you don't like talking about yourself.
C. It doesn't matter whether you have artistic abilities or not.
D. For example: I am probaby the laziest person you will ever meet.
E. Use each letter as the first letter in an adjective that describes you.
F. Bring in the surprise factor— sometimes known as the shock factor.
G. After all, anybody can stand up and announce their name, business title and job responsibilities.

It's not yet clear how comfortable speaking with this Bane-like mask over your mouth really is, or how effective its speech muffling ability is, so we know so far is that it makes you look strange.

【題目】根據(jù)短文理解,選擇正確答案。
Six years ago at the age of 35,I suddenly decided I wanted to learn the cello(大提琴).Straight away I rented an instrument and appeared before Wendell Margrave,professor of musical instruction.
"You can be as good as you want to be,"Margrave said rather mysteriously.On a piece of paper he drew the notes E and F.He showed me where to put my fingers on the neck of the cello and how to draw the bow.Then he entered my name in his book: 10 am,Tuesday.Tuesday followed Tuesday,and soon it was spring.
Thus began my voyage out of ignorance and into the dream.E-F,E-F,we played together—and moved on to G.It was a happy time.I was again becoming something new,and no longer trapped as the same person.Surely the most terrible recognition of middle life is that we are past changing.We do what we can already do.The cello was something I couldn't do.Yet each Tuesday this became less and less true.Riding home on the bus one snowy night and learning the score of Mozart's C-Major Quintet(莫扎特的C大調(diào)五重奏),I felt the page burst into music in my hands.I could by then more or less read a score,and was humming(哼唱)the cello line,when suddenly all five parts came together harmonically(和諧地) in my head.The fellow sitting opposite stared.I met his glance with tears,actually hearing the music in my head for the first time.Could he hear it too, perhaps?No,he got off at the next stop.
As the years slipped by,my daughter grew up,playing the piano well.My goal was that she and I would one day perform together.I also wanted to perform in public with and for my peers,and to be secretly envied.I continued to play,to perform,but it is not the same.Before,when I heard a cello,it was all beauty and light.Now,as the TV camera gets close to Rostropovich's face,I recognize that his smile shows his incredible determination.Even for him,the cello is a difficult instrument that doesn't respect your ambitions.I picked up my cello and practiced.As good as I wanted to be,I am as good as I'm going to get.It is good enough.
(1)From the first two paragraphs,we can learn that_______ .
A.the author already knew some cello basics
B.the author went to a cello lesson every Tuesday
C.the author bought a cello after he decided to learn it
D.Wendell Margrave was a famous but mysterious professor
(2)The author writes that "it was a happy time" in Paragraph 3 mainly because .
A.he felt very bored with his new life
B.it was beautiful to be able to hear the music in his mind
C.Professor Margrave made learning the cello very easy for him
D.he enjoyed the feelings of growth and getting closer to his dream
(3)From the last paragraph,it can be inferred that the author .
A.put on shows with his daughter
B.was determined to catch up with Rostropovich
C.is happy to have kept up his personal development
D.was confident that his peers would envy him for his cello playing ability
(4)The purpose of the article is mainly to .
A.show his deep gratitude to his cello tutor
B.advise readers on how to improve their cello skills
C.describe his incredible efforts to overcome difficulties
D.encourage readers that it's never too late to pursue their dreams
