【題目】D
It’s the dieting fad that is sweeping the world , and encourages fasting for two days of the week . But does it work ?
People are starving themselves to lose weight , with a dieting trend known as the “fast diet” growing in popularity .
The method is also known as the 5:2 diet , and consists of eating normally for five days of a week and cutting calories to about 25 percent of normal intake during other two days . Men consume just 600 calories on the two fast days , while women are limited to 500 calories.
Notably, the two fasting days should not be hack-to-back. The dieter should have at least one normal eating day in between.
In the best-selling book The Fast Diet: Lose Weight, Stay Healthy, and Live Longer with the Simple Secret of Intermittent Fasting by Dr. Michael Mosley and Mimi Spencer, the two authors claim that the 5:2 diet not only promotes weight loss, but also benefits health, offering protection from disease, improved cognitive function and increased lifespan.
The diet originated in the United Kingdom and became popular in the United States. Now, it is gaining popularity among the Chinese middle class.
Zhong Minghui, who is 178cm tall and used to weigh 100 kilograms, finds fasting effective in weight control. He works in the sales department of' a trade company and used to drink and eat a lot after work. After sticking to the fasting diet for five months, he managed to lose about 20 kilograms.
" Actually I did not exactly rely on the 5 :2 diet to lose weight. My fasting was more extreme. I almost completely cut off my supper every day and only ate some fruit. I also used an app to calculate the calories in the food I eat and was cautious of not eating any high-calorie food. I did about an hour's aerobic exercise every day. Fasting is definitely effective, but I think sports also help ,” he says.
"I do not really believe that fasting is the magical cure-all, but my high blood sugar has improved," he adds.
The Academy of Nutrition and Dietetics says that although there is evidence that intermittent fasting diets may help prevent chronic disease, more research is needed.
Han Ting, a clinic nutritionist of Shanghai Tenth People's Hospital, says that people who suffer diabetes or eating disorders, pregnant women, kids, teens and frail seniors should not try fasting. She recommends a regular low-calorie diet, which is safer and less risky for health.
When on a fasting diet, on the weekly fasting days, Han recommends low-fat, low-sugar, low-protein food, such as vegetables, yogurt, non-fat milk, shellfish and fruit with high dietary fiber.

試題分析: 文章介紹了一種主要通過(guò)挨餓來(lái)減肥的”控制飲食”的減肥時(shí)尚。
【長(zhǎng)難句解讀】The method is also known as the 5:2 diet , and consists of eating normally for five days of a week and cutting calories to about 25 percent of normal intake during other two days .
分析:句中的eating normally for five days of a week and cutting calories to about 25 percent of normal intake during other two days .為動(dòng)詞的-ing形式作consist of的賓語(yǔ)。
譯文:這種減肥方法又以5:2飲食而聞名,它是由一用正常進(jìn)食五天和其余兩天減少正?防锎槿肓康拇蠹s25%組成的。
【1】C考查細(xì)節(jié)理解。由文章第6段The diet originated in the United Kingdom and became popular in the United States. Now, it is gaining popularity among the Chinese middle class.可知,這種形式的減肥源于英國(guó),流行于美國(guó)。目前很受中國(guó)中產(chǎn)階級(jí)的歡迎。
【2】B考查細(xì)節(jié)理解。根據(jù)文章第四段的內(nèi)容可知,值得注意的是,禁食的兩天不應(yīng)該是連續(xù)的。禁食者在這兩天之間應(yīng)該至少有一天正常的飲食;back-to-back"連續(xù)發(fā)生的,一個(gè)接一個(gè)的”。
【3】D考查推理判斷。根據(jù)文章中Zhong Mingh的話(huà)“Fasting is definitely effective”“I do not really believe that fasting is the magical cure-all, but my high blood sugar has improved”可知,其認(rèn)為通過(guò)禁食來(lái)減肥是有效果的。
【4】A考查詞義猜測(cè)。根據(jù)文章倒數(shù)第三段可知,美國(guó)營(yíng)養(yǎng)與飲食學(xué)會(huì)認(rèn)為,盡管有證據(jù)表明間歇性禁食能幫助預(yù)防慢性病,但需要更多的研究。本句是對(duì)上文the 5 :2 diet的總結(jié),故intermittent fasting diets指的就是“間歇性禁食”。

【題目】In a room at Texas Children Cancer Center in Houston, eight-year-old Simran Jatar lay in bed with a drip (點(diǎn)滴) above her to fight her bone cancer. Over her bald (禿的) head, she wore a pink hat that matched her clothes. But the third grader’s cheery dressing didn’t mask her pain and weary(疲倦的) eyes.
Then a visitor showed up. “Do you want to write a song?” asked Anita Kruse, 49, rolling a cart equipped with an electronic(電子) keyboard, a microphone and speakers(揚(yáng)聲器). Simran stared. “Have you ever written a poem?” Anita Kruse continued. “Well, yes,” Simran said.
Within minutes, Simran was reading her poem into the microphone. “Some bird soaring through the sky,” she said softly. “Imagination in its head…” Anita Kruse added piano music, a few warbling (鳴, 唱) birds, and finally the girl’s voice. Thirty minutes later, she presented Simran with a CD of her first recorded song.
That was the beginning of Anita Kruse’s project, Purple Songs Can Fly, one that has helped more than 125 young patients write and record songs. As a composer(作曲家) and pianist who had performed at the hospital, Kruse said that the idea of how she could help “came in one flash”.
The effect on the kids has been great. One teenage girl, curling (蜷縮) in pain in her wheelchair, stood unaided to dance to a hip-hop song she had written. A 12-year-old boy with Hodgkin’s disease who rarely spoke surprised his doctors with a song he called I Can Make It.
“My time with the kids is heartbreaking because of the severity of their illnesses,” says Anita Kruse. “But they also make you happy, when the children are smiling, excited to share their CD with their families.”
Simran is now an active sixth grader and cancer-free. From time to time, she and her mother listen to her song, Always Remembering, and they always remember the “really sweet and nice and loving” lady who gave them a shining moment in the dark hour.
【1】 Simran Jatar lay in bed in hospital because ______.
A. most of her hair had fallen out

【2】What do we know about Anita Kruse’s project?
A. It helps young patients record songs.
B. It is supported by singers and patients.
C. It aims to replace the medical treatment.
D. It offers patients chances to realize their dreams.
【3】What does the case(實(shí)例) of a 12-year-old boy suggest?
A. Most children are naturally fond of music.
B. He was brave enough to put up performance.
C. The project has positive effect on young patients.
D. Singing is the best way to treat some illnesses.
【4】 What is probably the best title for the passage?

【題目】Animals, including insects, don't have a "language" like ours. They do not 'talk' to each other in words and sentences. But if we watch them, we can see that they do have their ways of communicating with each other.
Can you see the rabbit's tail? When rabbits see this white tail moving up and down, they run away. They know that they are in danger. The rabbit has told them something without making a sound. It has given them a signal.
Many other animals use this kind of "language". When a cobra is angry, it raises its head and makes itself look powerful . This warns other animals. When a bee has found food, it goes back to its home. It cannot 'tell' the other bees where the food is by speaking to them, but it does a little dance. This tells the bees where the food is.
Some animals "say" things by making sounds. A dog barks, for example, when a stranger comes near. A cat purrs when it is pleased. Some birds make several different sounds, each with its own meaning. Sometimes we human beings speak in the same way. We make sounds like "Oh" or "Ah" when we are frightened or pleased or when we drop something on our toes.

【題目】In 1947 a group of famous people from the art world headed by an Austrian conductor decided to hold an intemational festival of music, dance and theatre in Edinburgh. The idea was to reunite Europe after the Second World War.
At the same time, the “Fringe” appeared as a challenge to the official festival. Eight theatre groups turned up uninvited in 1947,in the belief that everyone should have the right to perform, and they did so in a public house disused for years.
Soon, groups of students firstly from Edinburgh University, and later from the universities of Oxford and Cambridge, Durham and Birmingham were making the journey to the Scottish capital each summer to perform theatre by little-known writers of plays in small church halls to the people of Edinburgh.
Today the “Fringe”, once less recognized, has far out grown the festival with around 1,500 performances of theatre, music and dance on every one of the 21 days it lasts. And yet as early as 1959, with only 19 theatre groups performing, some said it was getting too big.
A paid administrator was first employed only in 1971, and today there are eight administrators working all year round and the number rises to 150 during August itself. In 2004 there were 200 places housing 1,695 shows by over 600 different groups from 50 different countries. More than 1,25 million tickets were sold.
【1】Point was the purpose of Edinburgh Festival at he beginning?
A. To bring Europe together again.
B. To honor heroes of World War 11.
C. To introduce young theatre groups.
D. To attract great artists from Europe.
【2】Why did some uninvited theatre groups come to Edinburgh in 1947?
A. They owned a public house there.
B. They came to take up a challenge.
C. They thought they were also famous.
D. They wanted to take part in the festival.
【3】Who joined the "Fringe" after it appeared?
A. they owned a public house there
B. University students.
C. Artists from around the world.
D. Performers of music and dance.
【4】We may learn from the text that Edinburgh Festival________.

【題目】Deo sat staring straight ahead, so as to think about this. Then they were a bridge so high he felt he were in the airplanes again, and Muhammad said, “Manhattan,” and at a horizon of buildings impossibly tall, giant trees, like a sky of pillared (成柱狀的) clouds at sunrise in the mountains. a time Deo began to notice vacant lots, and buildings with wood their windows. When Muhammad turned off a main avenue onto a side street, Deo wanted to ask, urgently, they were stopping here. A few yards away, a man stood urinating (撒尿) the wall of a building. The sidewalk was covered with empty cans and and all sorts of paper trash. Muhammad led the way a brick building with broken windows and letters scribbled(潦草地書(shū)寫(xiě)的) here and there on the walls. High up on one wall there were three letters , as if each letter were swollen: P E N. He followed Muhammad , the air reeking of urine and excrement (排泄物), up a staircase with a busted railing (破碎的欄桿), finally into a room with a dirty wooden floor, a room with door and no furniture. At the end of a hallway, there was a toilet, completely stopped up.
Muhammad said he stayed here to money. He didn’t have to pay rent for this room. His whole reason for being in New York was to and save as much as he could. He would be for Senegal in a few weeks. Deo should do as he had—work here for a while and save, then start a new life. But he should do this back in Africa, not in New York. “Because it’s so hard here,” Muhammad said.
