With the development of society, the choice of food and drinks for children is more diversified than ever before. However, every coin has two sides. Many facts suggest that children are overweight and the situation is getting worse, according to the statistics. I feel there are a number of reasons for this.
Some people blame the fact that we are surrounded by shops selling unhealthy, fatty foods, such as fried chicken and ice cream, at low prices. This has turned out a whole generation of grown-ups who seldom cook a meal for themselves. If there were fewer of these restaurants then probably children would buy less take-away food.
There is another argument that blames parents for allowing their children to become overweight. I agree to this, because good eating habits begin early in life, long before children start to visit fast food shops. If children are given fried chicken and chocolate rather than healthy food, or are always allowed to choose what they eat, they will go for sweet and salty foods every time, and this will carry on throughout their lives.
There is a third reason for this situation. Children these days take very little exercise. They do not walk to school. When they get home, they sit in front of the television or their computers. Not only is this an unhealthy pastime(消遣), it also gives them time to eat more unhealthy food. What they need is to go outside and play active games or sports.
The above are the main reasons for this problem, and therefore we have to encourage young people to be more active, as well as guiding them away from fast food shops and bad eating habits.
小題1:What is suggested by the author to deal with “overweight”?
A.Blaming the shops selling unhealthy and fatty foods.
B.Asking young children to walk to school every day.
C.Living an active life and removing bad eating habits.
D.Not watching TV or playing computer games after school.
小題2:Which of the following shows the structure of the whole text?

小題3:The author writes the passage to ______________
A.show people a social problemB.provide facts for government
C.a(chǎn)dvise solutions to a problemD.compare opinions with people
小題4:The underlined word “diversified” in the first paragraph most probably means ________.
A.variousB.difficultC.expensiveD.a(chǎn)vailable

小題1:C
小題2:B
小題3:C
小題4:A

試題分析:本文是健康類短文,本文第一段是一個中心段,提出兒童肥胖的問題,在2,3,4段中分別給出一個原因。在文章最后一段進行了總結提出了解決問題的方法。
小題1:C 推理題。根據(jù)文章最后一段he above are the main reasons for this problem, and therefore we have to encourage young people to be more active, as well as guiding them away from fast food shops and bad eating habits.可知作者給出的建議是要過著更為積極的生活而且要把一些不好的飲食習慣去除掉。故C正確。
小題2:B篇章結構題。本文第一段是一個中心段,提出兒童肥胖的問題,在2,3,4段中分別給出一個原因。在文章最后一段進行了總結提出了解決問題的方法。屬于總分總的結構,故B正確。
小題3:C 推理題。本文先提出一個問題:兒童肥胖;在2,3,4段中分析出現(xiàn)這一問題的原因,最后一段中提出對于這個問題的解決方法。作者寫本文的目的是在于對一個問題的解決方法提出的建議。故C正確。
小題4:A 推理題。根據(jù)本句With the development of society, the choice of food and drinks for children is more diversified than ever before可知現(xiàn)在的兒童在食物的選擇方面很豐富,同時也帶來了很大的問題。所以本詞表示的是多種多樣的;故A正確。

You may think that sailing is a difficult sport, but it is really not hard to learn it.You do not need to be strong.But you need to be quick.And you need to understand a few basic rules about the wind.
First, you must ask yourself, “Where is the wind coming from? Is it coming from ahead or behind or from the side?” You must think about this all the time on the boat.The wind direction tells you what to do with the sail.
Let's start with the wind blowing from behind.This means the wind and the boat are going in the same direction.Then you must always keep the sail outside the boat.It should be at a 90° angle (角度) to the boat.Then it will catch the wind best.
If the wind is blowing from the side, it is blowing across the boat.In this case, you must keep the sail half way outside the boat.It should be at a 45° angle to the boat.It needs to be out far enough to catch the wind, but it shouldn't flap (擺動).It shouldn't look like a flag on a flagpole.If it is flapping, it is probably out too far, and the boat will slow down.
Sailing against the wind is not possible.If you try, the sail will flap and the boat will stop.You may want to go in that direction.It is possible, but you can't go in a straight line.You must go first in one direction and then in another.This is called tacking.When you are tacking, you must always keep the sail inside the boat.
小題1:What should you consider first while sailing?
A.Sailors' strength. B.Wave levels.
C.Size of sails. D.Wind directions.
小題2:What does the word “It” underlined in Paragraph 4 refer to?
A.The boat. B.The sail.
C.The wind. D.The angle.
小題3:What do you have to do when sailing against the wind?
A.Move in a straight line. B.Allow the sail to flap.
C.Lower the sail. D.Tack the boat.
小題4:Where can you probably find the text?
A.In a popular magazine. B.In a tourist guidebook.
C.In a physics textbook. D.In an official report.

From Avatar to Lord of the Rings, plants are no strangers to playing big movie roles. However, no one has ever shot a film that plants themselves can watch until now. In a New York art gallery, seven house plants have spent the last seven weeks watching Strange Skies, the first travel documentary for a vegetable audience. All the plants sat in the cinema in rows, enjoying themselves in Italian sunshine.
The movie was made by American artist Jonathon Keats. It consists of Italian skies recorded over two months and made into a six-minute-long movie. The film shows the clear dawn(黎明), high clouds, amazing dusk and then beautiful night. The movie has no sound and the plants, of course, do not applaud. But Stephen Squibb, a professor from Harvard University, said these plants could benefit from it—the light of the movie keeps them alive because they can continue the process of turning light into energy.
“I realized there was a much larger audience—plants—that were not being serviced, ”Keats said. “I wanted to provide plants with entertainment that companies such as Disney provide for humans. ”Meanwhile, Keats also wants to explore plants’ sensibilities(敏感性)further. He plans to open a“restaurant for plants”at a Californian museum.
One visitor, photographer Abbas Ebrahimi, admired(羨慕)the green audience, “Plants are better than us. We die and go, while in spring they come back each time. ”But when talking about the movie, he said after thinking for a few minutes, “It doesn’t mean anything to me at all. It’s just about light. For some people, it might mean something. ”
小題1:What can we learn about Keats according to the passage?
A.He is an artist from Harvard University.
B.He opened a restaurant for plants.
C.He made the film Strange Skies.
D.He liked recording Italian skies.
小題2:It can be learned that Strange Skies   .
A.has already created beautiful sound
B.was shot from dawn to dusk
C.made plants play roles in it
D.is the first travel film for plants
小題3:What did Stephen Squibb think of Strange Skies?
A.He thought it had explored plants’ sensibilities.
B.He thought it meant nothing to him.
C.He thought it could keep plants growing.
D.He thought it offered entertainment to plants.
小題4:Why did Abbas Ebrahimi admire the green audience?
A.Because they die and re-grow in spring.
B.Because they mean something to him.
C.Because there are more plants than people.
D.Because they can enjoy the movie.

Coming home from school, I was filled with excitement. But I was       into stillness by what I saw. Mother, seated at the end of the sofa,        , with the second-hand green typewriter on the table. She told me she couldn’t type fast and she was out of work. My shock at finding mother in tears was a perfect       of how     I understood the pressures on her. Sitting beside her on the sofa, I began very     to understand. I could      her pain and the tension (壓力) of     the strong feeling that were interrupted by my arrival. Suddenly,  something inside me     . I reached out and put my arms around her.

I always knew that I depended way too much on my phone.       I didn’t know how much, so I decided to do this challenge to find out.
Every morning since I got a smartphone, I’ve used The Weather Channel App to find out what to      . On the first morning I had to dress without guidance, but       I was able to guess that the day would be cold and foggy by looking out of my window.
I couldn’t tell what time it was. I haven’t worn a       for more than a year, because my phone showed the time. So I was late for       friends who had been on the bus for two hours from Santa Monica to Palos Verdes. I was also late for my part-time job. And      , I couldn’t call people to tell them that I was running late.
Getting places was harder, too. I got       because I couldn’t use the GPS (汽車導航系統(tǒng)) on my phone. My driving, though, got a lot       because I no longer had my phone in one hand checking directions while       with the other.
But the number one trouble was not having my contact list (聯(lián)絡簿). I forgot to write down my friends’ and family members’ phone numbers before I       the challenge. It was sad to realize that I couldn’t       my brother’s and my mom’s cell phone numbers. Oh, how I wished to turn on the phone for just a second to look up phone numbers!
Even with all the problems, however, I found       not worrying about missing a text message or an e-mail.
This       was a great learning experience. It surprised me how I’d taken no notice of even the       things like remembering phone numbers. We all should take some time to think about how we can depend       on our cell phones.
