题型描述: 阅读理解In the United States, 30 percent of the adult population has a “weight problem”. To many people, the cause is obvious: they eat too much. But scientific evidence does little to support this idea. Going back to the America of the 1910s, we find that people were thinner than today, yet they ate more food. In those days people worked harder physically, walked more, used machines much less and didn’t watch television. Several modern studies, moreover, have shown that fatter people do not eat more on the average than thinner people. In fact, some investigations, such as the 1979 study of 3,545 London office workers, report that, on balance, fat people eat less than slimmer people. Studies show that slim people are more active than fat people. A study by a research group at Stanford University School of Medicine found the following interesting facts: The more the men ran, the more body fat they lost. The more they ran, the greater amount of food they ate. Thus, those who ran the most ate the most, yet lost the greatest amount of body fat.1、 The physical problem that many adult Americans have is that _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ . A. they are too fat B. they lose too much body fat C. they are too slim D. they work too hard 2、 According to the article, given 500 adult Americans, _ _ _ _ _ _ _ people will have a“weight problem.” A. 100 B. 30 C. 150 D. 50 3、 Is there any scientific evidence to support that eating too much is the cause of a"weight problem?" A. We don’t know because the information is not given. B. Of course, there is some evidence to show this is true. C. Yes, there is plenty of evidence. D. There is hardly any scientific evidence to support this. 4、 In comparison with the adult American population today, the Americans of the 1910s _ _ _ _ _ _ _ . A. ate less food but had more activities B. had more weight problems C. ate more food and had more physical activities D. ate less food and had less physical exercise 5、 Modern scientific researches have reported to us that _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ .

题型描述: 阅读理解Laptop computers are popular all over the world. People use them on trains and airplanes, in airports and hotels. These laptops connect people to their workplace. In the United States today, laptops also connect students to their class-rooms. Westlake College in Virginia will start a laptop computer program that allows students to do schoolwork anywhere they want. Within five years, each of the 1,500students at the college will receive a laptop. The laptops are part of a $10million computer program at Westlake, a 110-year-old college. The students with laptops will also have access to the Internet. In addition, they will be able to use e-mail to “speak” with their teachers, their classmates, and their families. However, the most important part of the laptop program is that students will be able to use computers without going to computer labs. They can work with it at home in a fast-food restaurant or under the trees—practically anywhere!Because of the many changes in computer technology, laptop use in higher education such as colleges and universities, is workable. As laptops become more powerful, they become more similar to desktop computers. In addition, the portable computers can connect students to not only the Internet, but also libraries and other resources. State higher-education officials are studying how laptops can help students. State officials also are testing laptop programs at other universities, too. At Westlake College, more than 60 percent of the staff use computers. The lap-tops will allow all users to use computers in their lessons. As one Westlake teacher said, “Here we are in the middle of Virginia and weˊre giving students a window on the world. They can see everything and do everything.”1、 A window on the world in the last paragraph means that students can _ _ _ _ .

题型描述: 阅读理解America is growing older. Fifty years ago, only 4 out of every 100 people in the United States were 65 or older. Today, 10 out of every 100 Americans are over 65. The aging of the population will affect American society in many ways — education, medicine, and business. Quietly the graying of America. has made us a very different society — one in which people have a quite different idea of what kind of behavior is suitable at various ages. A personˊs age no longer tells you anything about his/her social position, marriage or health. There’s no longer a particular year in which one goes to school or goes to work or gets married or starts a family. The social clock that kept us on time and told us when to go to school, get a job, or stop working isn’t as strong as it used to be. It doesnˊt surprise us to hear of a 29-year-old university president or a 35-year-old grandmother, or a 70-year-old man who has become a father for the first time. Public notions are changing. Many people say, "I am much younger than my mother — or my father — was at my age." No one says "act your age" anymore. Weˊve stopped looking with surprise at older people who act in youthful ways.1、 This passage is mainly about _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ . A. suitable behaviors at different age in Americanˊs eyes B. why American society is different C. how American peopleˊs ideas about age have changed D. how older people act in youthful ways in America 2、 We can infer from the text that if a 25-year-old man becomes general manager of a big firm, the writer would most probably consider it _ _ _ _ _ _ _ . A. unreasonable B. unbelievable C. wonderful D. normal 3、 It can be learnt from the text that the aging of the population in America . A. has made people feel younger B. has changed peopleˊs understanding of age C. has slowed down the countryˊs social development D. has changed peopleˊs social position 4、 The underlined word “one” refers to . A. population B. a society C. America D. a place 5、 “Act your age” means people should . A. do the right thing at the right age B. show respect for their parents young or old C. be active when they are old D. take more physical exercise suitable to their age

题型描述: 阅读理解Many a young person tells me he wants to be a writer. I always encourage such people, but I also explain that there’s a big difference between “being a writer” and writing. In most cases these individuals are dreaming of wealth and fame, not the long hours alone at a typewriter. “You’ve got to want to write,” I say to them, “not want to be a writer.” The reality is that writing is a lonely, private and poor-paying affair. For every writer kissed by fortune there are thousands more whose longing is never rewarded. When I left a 20-year career in the U.S. Coast Guard to become a freelance writer（自由撰稿者）, I had no prospects at all. What I did have was a friend who found me my room in a New York apartment building. It didn’t even matter that it was cold and had no bathroom. I immediately bought a used manual typewriter and felt like a genuine writer. After a year or so, however, I still hadn’t gotten a break and began to doubt myself. It was so hard to sell a story that barely made enough to eat. But I knew I wanted to write. I had dreamed about it for years. I wasn’t going to be one of those people who die wondering “what if”. I would keep putting my dream to the test, even though it meant living with uncertainty and fear of failure. This is the Shadowland （虚幻世界）of hope, and anyone with a dream must learn to live there. (262 words)1、 “Shadowland” in the last sentence refers to _ _ _ _ _ _ _ . A. the wonderland one often dreams about B. the bright future that one is looking forward to C. a world that exists only in one’s imagination D. the state of uncertainty before one’s final goal is reached 2、 What can be concluded from the passage? A. A writer’s success depends on luck rather than on effort. B. Genuine writers often find their work interesting and rewarding. C. The chances for a writer to become successful are small. D. Famous writers usually live in poverty and isolation. 3、 “…People who die wondering “what if” (Line 3, Para.3) refers to “those _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ ”. A. who are full of imagination even upon death B. who regret giving up their career halfway C. who think too much of the dark side of life D. who think a lot without making a decision 4、 The passage is meant to _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ . A. show young people it’s unrealistic for a writer to pursue wealth and fame B. warn young people of the hardships that a successful writer has to experience C. advise young people to give up their idea of becoming a professional writer D. encourage young people to pursue a writing career 5、 Why did the author begin to doubt himself after the first year of his writing career?

题型描述: 阅读理解Shyness is the cause of much unhappiness for a great many people. Shy people are anx?ious and self-conscious; that is, they are excessively concerned with their own appearance and actions. Worrisome thoughts are constantly occurring in their minds: what kind of im?pression am I making? Do they like me? Do I sound stupid? Am I wearing unattractive clothes?It is obvious that such uncomfortable feelings must negatively affect people.

题型描述: 阅读理解“Cool” can be used to express feelings of interest in almost anything. When you see a famous car in the street, maybe you will say, “It’s cool.” You may think, “He’s so cool,” when you see your favorite footballer. We all maximize (扩大) the meaning of “cool”. You can use it instead of many words such as “new” or “surprising”. Here’s an interesting story we can use to show the way the word is used. A teacher asked her students to write about the waterfall (瀑布) they had visited. On one student’s paper was just the one sentence, “It’s so cool.” Maybe he thought it was the best way to show what he saw and felt. But the story also shows a scarcity (缺乏) of words. Without “cool”, some people have no words to show the same meaning. So it is quite important to keep some credibility (可信性). Can you think of many other words that make your life as colorful as the word “cool”? I can. And I think they are also very cool.1、 We know that the word “cool” has had _ _ _ _ .
