    Americans gone super!Super-sized,that is. New Yorker Morgan Spurlock tells the truth about what is really in food and how much fat Americans gain in the new documentary,iSwperszze Me!In America around 75 million people are overweight.

    Morgan Spurlock put the issue of obesity to a test: eating nothing but McDonald's for an entire month. He faced many effects. For example,after the first week,his body fat increased by 5%. After the entire month,he gained 24. 5 pounds. His cholesterol (膽固醇) increased 65 points. He got frequent chest pain,nausea (惡心)depression,headaches,etc. He nearly doubled his risk of heart disease.

    During his experiment,he traveled the country to find out what we,re really eating. He met a man who had eaten 19 ,000 big hamburgers from McDonald,s. He discovered that children knew more about Ronald McDonald than George Washington or Jesus. He tried over ten times to schedule an interview with the head of McDonald's,but didn’t get a reply.

    In the end,I found myself disappointed with the documentary. It wasn 51 the lack of information. In fact,if this was based on information,I’d give it 5 stars. Spurlock didn't let the information speak for itself. If he had,this documentary would have been brilliant. His points were overstated.

    He ended the documentary by saying, “Who do you want to see go first? You? Or them?” I believ? the point he’s trying to make is that eating fast foods will endanger US. But it’ 11 take a lot more than a ：hamburger once a month to kill US. Yes,if you eat McDonald's every day,you need to change your :eating habits. But scaring the rest of US into eating i vegan pies every day? No,thank you. r II take my coke super-sized.

5. To make Supersize Me,Spurlock .

   A. traveled around the world

   B. risked his health to do a test 

    C. turned to professional advice

   D. seldom cared about his heart disease

6. The underlined part in Paragraph 3 means that children

   A. often eat junk food

   B. have no religious beliefs

7. Why was the author unsatisfied with Supersize Mel

   B. It gave unclear points,

    C. It failed to convince him.

   D. It provided limited information.

8. Which of the following will the author probably agree with?

   B. It is okay to eat fast food sometimes.

5.B. 細(xì)節(jié)理解題。由第二段中的he gained 24.5 pounds. His cholesterol increased 65 points. He got frequent chest pain …h(huán)eart disease 可知，為了 完成紀(jì)錄片，Spurlock冒著自己的健康受到威脅的風(fēng)險(xiǎn),整整一個(gè)月只吃麥當(dāng)勞進(jìn)行實(shí)驗(yàn)。

6.A. 推理判斷題。由第三段中的He meets a man who has had   19. 000 big hamburgers from McDonald's推斷，很多人,；£其是孩吃了很 多垃圾食品。

7.C. 推理判斷題。由第四段中的Spurlock didn't let the information speak for itself 以及 His points were overstated 可知，作者認(rèn)為 Spuriock的觀點(diǎn)有些夸張，不能讓他信服。

科目：高中英語 來源： 題型：

The kitchen is one of the most important parts of the house. You may think that,since it's only used for cooking,there's no need to pay much attention to its color. 1       Color influences people's mood and creates an atmosphere,and surely you want to be in a good mood when you're cooking.

To decorate a kitchen,first look for a theme which will influence the color scheme (方案) .The most common colors in kitchens are white,yellow and other light colors. Kitchens are usually painted in one color to create a clean and neat look. 2       Also,since kitchens tend to have smaller windows,the light colors help make it brighter. Neutral colors such as gray and cream can also be used to create some contrast.

3       Start with your favorite color,or two light colors that balance each other. Make sure that you test them thoroughly first so that you can be sure they'll actually work. For more adventurous kitchen owners,three colors next to each other can also work. But these need to be carefully chosen,because one wrong color can ruin the whole look of the kitchen. When the kitchen color scheme has been chosen,other elements must be considered. Some important things,such as cupboards,in the kitchen can affect its look. Tiles (免磚) and the floor must be chosen to fit the look. 4       Last but not least,no matter what color scheme you use,make sure that it really is the one you want.5      

   A. Many people want to decorate their kitchens with bright colors.

   B. Different colors have different effects on people's mood.

   C. Otherwise,get advice from other members of the family.

   D. The light colors make the room seem bigger than it is.

   E. There are different ways to create a color scheme.

   F. In a word,kitchen decoration must go together with the color scheme.

   G. But in fact,the color scheme of kitchen is as important as those of any other rooms.

       B   ★★★★☆

    American restaurants have been talking about abolishing tipping for years. Now a major New York City restaurant group has announced a no-tip policy. The debate is starting to boil.

    When Danny Meyer,the boss of the restaurant group,talks,people listen. He's been right before. When he (禁止) smoking at Union Square Cafe,he was told he’d go out of business. However,his business improved. Ten years later,smoking in restaurants was against the law. Starting in November 2015,tipping began to be abolished at his 13 restaurants,the first major restaurant group to do this. It's been all over the news and everyone has an opinion. “Why not earlier?” some say. “Americans will not,” others insist.It’s clear that tipping is just the tip of the iceberg (冰山) .Beneath the surface are questions of pay fairness,labor law and rising costs. Tipping was borrowed from Europe more than a century ago and has been abolished there. But here,it's a deep-rooted American cultural practice.

    Usually,servers know there’s a higher chance that they’11 get a bigger tip on a bigger check,so they may push for more expensive items on the menu. Or they may rush customers out quickly to make room for new diners (and more tips!) . Basically,they may adjust accordingly to serve only the people they think will be the best tippers. Therefore,it is bad for customers.

    Besides,many servers puKtips together,so your reward is shared. Tips provide  large part of their income. But that money can't be shared legally with the un-tipped,low-paid kitchen workers. No wonder there's a growing labor shortage in restaurant kitchens. Meyer tried to abolish tipping 20 years ago,but the waiters disagreed. Is the time right now? The dining world will listen and watch.

5. We can learn from Danny Meyer’s story that

   A. people suggested he run more restaurants

   B. his ban on smoking succeeded beyond expectations

    C. his business failed because of his ban on smoking   

    D. he was threaten to shut his business

6. According to Paragraph 3 ,tipping .

   A. is quite popular in Europe

   B. is against labor law in America 

    C. spreads from Europe to America

   D. is disliked by most people in America

7. What is Paragraph 4 mainly about?

   A. How customers tip.

   B. What servers do to get tips,

    C. How tipping came about.

   D. What customers think of tips.

8. Why are kitchen workers in short supply?

   A. They can't get tips.

.   B. Their income isn’t fixed,

    C.They can't see customers.

   D. Their work is very boring.

                     C ★★★★☆

    Food can be a great cause. And just like people,animals often get quite creative when they’ re in the mood for a meal or treat. Now a video shows Asian elephants cleverly blow air to move food.

    Kaori Mizuno and colleagues worked with two female Asian elephants,Mineko and Suzuko. The two elephants lived in an area surrounded by a U-shaped ditch(壕溝) .The ditch was just shallow enough that an elephant could reach an object on the bottom with its trunk(象鼻) .But it couldn’t reach an object on the far side of this ditch. This let Mizuno’s team set up a difficulty for the animals. They xegularly set out tasty treats,apples,bamboo,potatoes or fallen leaves on the far side of the ditch. Both elephants were caught on film blowing their trunks to draw the food. Each would reach out her trunk,aim backwards a bit and then blow out a few puffs of air. That drove the food so that it was close enough to catch. Mineko used fewer puffs,blew longer and aimed better than Suzuko.

    Scientists once believed that only humans used tools. It's worth looking at the elephants’ behavior again. Is trunk-blowing considered tool use? The classic definition of a tool is “the external (外部的) employment of an unattached environmental object.w Air is not an “object ,” So it may not qualify. But what may be more important to consider is the thinking processes that drive the behavior.

    The researchers are unsure how the elephants picked up this trunk-blowing behavior. They might have done it by accident. But the fact that two females living together are both showing the same behavior suggests that one elephant may have copied it. And let’s hope so. After all,elephant trunk-blowing might be entertaining.

9. What has Kaori Mizuno5 s team found out?

   A. Elephants eat too much.

   B. Elephants can bring food closer.

    C. Elephants are popular with people.

   D. Elephants are brave to do dangerous things.

10. What was the function of the ditch in the experiment?

   A. Toserveasachallenge.

   B. To protect the elephants.

    C. To make the elephants excited.

   D. To make the elephants’ habitat larger.

11. According to Paragraph 3 ,the research .

   A. gives the definition of a tool

   B. proves elephants use tools too

    C. shows elephants are important animals   

    D. suggests attention be paid to the drive of trunk-blowing 

12. The underlined word “so” in the last paragraph refers to.

   A. elephants are good at playing tricks

   B. elephants can learn from each other 

    C. elephants pick up the food by chance

   D. elephants are cleverer than other animals
