Ⅳ. 教材设题
1. Can you think of any Chinese proverbs ______ health
A. connecting with B. connecting to
C. connected with D. are connected with
【解析】选C。根据句子结构, 所填词在句中作定语修饰proverbs, 可先排除D项; “和……有关系”是be connected with, 所以C项正确。
2. “OK, OK. ”Zhou Kai went and did ______ he was told.
A. when B. while C. as D. because
【解析】选C。句意:“好的, 好的。”周凯按照告诉他的去做了。as在此处引导方式状语从句, 意为“按照, 根据”。其他三个选项都不能引导方式状语从句。
3. I think I don’t get these things because I ______ and am very fit.
A. take plenty of exercises
B. take a great deal of exercises
C. take a lot of exercise
D. take a number of exercise
【解析】选C。句意:我认为我没有得感冒是因为我进行了大量的锻炼而且很健康。take exercise“进行锻炼”, 其中exercise作“锻炼”讲时是不可数名词, 所以A、B两项不对; 又因为a number of只能修饰可数名词的复数形式, 不修饰不可数名词, 所以D项也不对。
4. Two years ago I broke my arm ______ football.
A. playing B. was playing
C. played D. to play
【解析】选A。playing football相当于when/while I was playing football, 在句中作时间状语。
5. But there’s one thing I really love—I’m ______ about football.
A. anxious B. eager
C. worried D. crazy
【解析】选D。句意:但是有一件事情我真的喜欢——我对足球着迷。be anxious/worried about“对……担心”, 不合句意, 所以A、C两项不对; 而B项表示“渴望”, 也不合句意。be crazy about“痴迷于……, 对……着迷”。由句意知D项正确。
6. I’m ______ captain of the class team at school and I’m also ______ member of the Senior High team.
A. the; a B. a; a C. 不填; the D. 不填; a
【解析】选D。考查冠词。由于表示官衔的名词在句中作表语、同位语和补足语时前面不加冠词, 而captain在这里表示“队长”, 所以第一空不填; 第二空后的member“成员”是可数名词, 根据句意, 这里表示“一位成员”, 所以前面要加不定冠词a。
1. It was a nice house, but ______ too small for a family of five.
[2009 天津, 12]
A. rarely B. fairly C. rather D. pretty
【解析】选C。考查副词辨析。句意:那座房子很好, 但对于一个五口之家来说太小了。rarely表示“罕见地, 稀少地”; fairly表示“相当”; pretty表示“很; 相当”。pretty和fairly意思用法相近, 表示褒义, 但在程度上前者大于后者; rather“相当”表示贬义, 尤其能与比较级和too连用, 而fairly与pretty则不能。
2. In my opinion, this kind of dress ______ professional women.
A. is not fit for B. doesn’t fit for
C. isn’t suited for D. doesn’t suit
【解析】选D。考查动词辨析。动词fit表示大小合适; be fit for适合工作或称职; suit表示颜色、款式等适合某人。
3. I was really ______ about you. You shouldn’t have left home without a word.
A. anxious B. eager
C. worrying D. sure
【解析】选A。句意:我确实担心你。你本不该不打声招呼就离开家。be anxious about“对……担心”; be eager about“渴望……”; be worried about“担心……”, C项形式不对; be sure about“对……有把握”。
4. If he wants to win the contest, he must take great ______ about it.
A. pain B. pain C. effect D. effort
【解析】选B。take great pains“尽全力”。pain作“辛苦, 努力”讲时, 要用复数形式。take effect“实施”; effort常与make连用, 表示“努力做”。由句意“如果他想在比赛中赢, 就必须尽全力。”可知B项正确。
5. 用括号内词的适当形式填空(fit, suit, match, wound, harm, hurt, injure)
1)I’m afraid this time doesn’t suit me.
2)The color of the shirt does not match that of the tie.
3)Try this key and see whether it fits .

1. Sam ______ some knowledge of the computer just by watching others working on it.
[2010山东, 27]
A. brought up B. looked up
C. picked up D. set up
【解析】选C。句意:山姆只是凭借看别人操作电脑学到了一些电脑知识。表示“学会”用pick up; pick up另外还有“捡起; 顺路接送, 搭载; 收拾, 整理; 重新开始; 获得”等意思; bring up 表示“抚养, 教育; 提出; 呕吐”; look up 表示“向上看; (形势)好转, 改善; 查阅”; set up表示“建立, 设置; 造成, 产生”。
2. The police have collected some information ______ the murder.
[2011聊城模拟]
A. connected to B. connected with
C. connecting with D. was connected with
【解析】选B。句意:警方已经搜集了一些与谋杀案有关的信息。connected with the murder是具有形容词性质的过去分词短语作定语修饰information, 而D项是谓语形式, 与句子结构不符。
3. The boy was so ______ about net games that he played online over ten hours every day.
A. interested B. crazy
C. pleased D. puzzled
【解析】选B。句意:那个男孩如此痴迷网络游戏, 以至于每天上网10多个小时。每天上网时间这么长, 肯定是到了痴迷的程度, be crazy about. . . 对……痴迷。

[2011郑州模拟]
Any diet on which you eat fewer calories than you need to get through the day—like an 800-calorie-per-day diet can be dangerous. Diets that don’t allow any fat also can be bad for you. Everyone needs a certain amount of fat in their diet—up to 30% of total calories—so no one should eat a completely fat-free diet.
Don’t have diets that restrict (限制) certain food groups, either. A diet that requires you to say no to bread or pasta or allows you to eat only fruit is unhealthy. You won’t get the vitamins and minerals you need. And although you may lose weight, you’ll probably gain it back as soon as you start eating normally again.
Some people start dieting because they think all the problems in their lives are because of weight. Others have an area of their lives that they can’t control, like an alcoholic parent, so they focus on something they can control—their exercise and food intake.
People who diet may get lots of praise from friends and families when they start losing pounds, which makes them feel good. But eventually a person reaches a weight level and doesn’t lose as much weight as before because the body is trying to keep a healthy weight, so they aren’t any happier.
Some people may find it hard to control their eating, so they stick with an extreme diet for a little while, but then eat tons of food. Feeling guilty about the binge, they use laxatives(泻药). Eating too little to maintain a healthy weight or eating only to throw up the calories are both eating disorders, which are harmful to a person’s health.
【文章大意】本文叙述了节食与减肥的关系。过度的节食对身体是有害处的。
1. Which is NOT the result of restricting certain food groups
A. Lose weight for a short period.
B. Unhealthy.
C. Short of nutrition.
D. Hungry.
【解析】选D。细节理解题。根据文中第二段内容可知答案为D项。根据文中内容可知不吃某些种类的食品(是因为这些食物容易导致发胖, 所以用其他食品代替)并不会导致饥饿。
2. Which of the reasons why some people start and keep dieting ISN’T included
A. They think their trouble comes from their weight.
B. They have an alcoholic parent.
C. Other people’s praise when they lose some weight.
D. There is something they can’t control except food intake.
【解析】选B。细节理解题。文中第三段提到了一些人们开始减肥的原因, 第四段又提到当他们减掉一些体重时会得到朋友和家人的赞扬, 使他们感觉很好, 因此会坚持一段时间。而B项所叙述的内容并不是他们减肥的原因。
3. The underlined phrase in the last paragraph refers to ______ .
A. a fat-free diet B. a special diet
C. eating too much D. eating too little
【解析】选D。词义猜测题。根据本句后面的but then eat tons of food以及最后一句中的Eating too little to maintain a healthy weight可知答案为D项。
4. According to the passage, when people want to lose weight, they should ______ .
A. avoid eating some food that can lead to being fat
B. control their eating amount and times
C. have a healthy and balanced diet
D. throw up some of what they eat
【解析】选C。主旨大意题。根据全文内容可知即使减肥, 为了身体所需也必须做到健康均衡饮食。因此正确答案为C项。
(B)
Giving up your usual midnight snack may be difficult, and not just because it is part of your routine. The habit may have genetically(基因地) changed an area of your brain to expect food at that time, researchers have discovered.
By training mice to eat when they typically would not, researchers at UT Southwestern Medical Center found that food turned on body-clock genes in a particular area of the brain. Even when the food stopped coming, the genes continued to activate at the expected mealtime.
The findings — published in next week’s issue of the Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences — may provide clues to how metabolic(变化的; 新陈代谢的) conditions in an animal can synchronize (使……同时发生) themselves with a body clock. For the study, scientists set mice on a regular feeding schedule, then looked at their brain tissue to find where genes were turned on in sync with
feeding times. Researchers put the mice on a 12-hour light/dark cycle, and provided food for four hours in the middle of the light portion. (Because mice normally feed at night, this pattern is similar to humans eating at inappropriate times — that midnight snack, for instance. )
The mice fell into a pattern of searching for food two hours before each feeding time. They also flipped their normal day/night behaviour, ignoring the natural cue that day is their usual time to sleep. When the mice subsequently went two days without food, the genes continued to turn on in sync with the expected feeding time.
“So somewhere in the body, they clearly remembered this time of day, ” said Dr Masashi Yanagi-sawa, author of the study.
【文章大意】很多人有夜晚吃零食的习惯, 但是研究者通过对老鼠进行研究发现, 改变进食时间会改变大脑中基因对食物的需求时间, 从而使体内生物钟发生紊乱。

【解析】选D。这从第二段By training mice to eat when they typically would not, researchers at UT Southwestern Medical Center found that food turned on body-clock genes in a particular area of the brain. 及第三段最后一句可以得出答案。
7. Which of the following wasn’t mentioned in the experiment on mice
A. The time to feed them.
B. What food to feed them.
C. Their normal day/night behaviour.
D. Their usual time to sleep.
【解析】选B。A项在第三段最后一句给出; C、D项在第四段的第二句提到; 只有B项没有提到。
8. What’s the best title of the passage
A. Midnight snacking alters the brain
B. Experiment on mice
C. Giving up midnight snack
D. The new findings
【解析】选A。纵观全文, 第一段应该是主题段, 这一段主要说明晚上吃零食会改变大脑基因对食物的需求时间。接下来是通过研究者对老鼠的试验, 说明这一发现。

Any diet on which you eat fewer calories than you need to get through the day—like an 800-calorie-per-day diet can be dangerous. Diets that don’t allow any fat also can be bad for you. Everyone needs a certain amount of fat in their diet—up to 30% of total calories—so no one should eat a completely fat-free diet.
Don’t have diets that restrict (限制) certain food groups, either. A diet that requires you to say no to bread or pasta or allows you to eat only fruit is unhealthy. You won’t get the vitamins and minerals you need. And although you may lose weight, you’ll probably gain it back as soon as you start eating normally again.
Some people start dieting because they think all the problems in their lives are because of weight. Others have an area of their lives that they can’t control, like an alcoholic parent, so they focus on something they can control—their exercise and food intake.
People who diet may get lots of praise from friends and families when they start losing pounds, which makes them feel good. But eventually a person reaches a weight level and doesn’t lose as much weight as before because the body is trying to keep a healthy weight, so they aren’t any happier.
Some people may find it hard to control their eating, so they stick with an extreme diet for a little while, but then eat tons of food. Feeling guilty about the binge, they use laxatives(泻药). Eating too little to maintain a healthy weight or eating only to throw up the calories are both eating disorders, which are harmful to a person’s health.

A. Lose weight for a short period.
B. Unhealthy.
C. Short of nutrition.
D. Hungry.
【解析】选D。细节理解题。根据文中第二段内容可知答案为D项。根据文中内容可知不吃某些种类的食品(是因为这些食物容易导致发胖,所以用其他食品代替)并不会导致饥饿。
2. Which of the reasons why some people start and keep dieting ISN’T included
A. They think their trouble comes from their weight.
B. They have an alcoholic parent.
C. Other people’s praise when they lose some weight.
D. There is something they can’t control except food intake.
【解析】选B。细节理解题。文中第三段提到了一些人们开始减肥的原因,第四段又提到当他们减掉一些体重时会得到朋友和家人的赞扬,使他们感觉很好,因此会坚持一段时间。而B项所叙述的内容并不是他们减肥的原因。
3. The underlined phrase in the last paragraph refers to _____ .
A. a fat-free diet B. a special diet
C. eating too much D. eating too little
【解析】选D。词义猜测题。根据本句后面的but then eat tons of food以及最后一句中的Eating too little to maintain a healthy weight可知答案为D项。
4. According to the passage, when people want to lose weight,they should _____ .
A. avoid eating some food that can lead to being fat
B. control their eating amount and times
C. have a healthy and balanced diet

Giving up your usual midnight snack may be difficult, and not just because it is part of your routine. The habit may have genetically(基因地) changed an area of your brain to expect food at that time, researchers have discovered.
By training mice to eat when they typically would not, researchers at UT Southwestern Medical Center found that food turned on body-clock genes in a particular area of the brain. Even when the food stopped coming, the genes continued to activate at the expected mealtime.
The findings — published in next week’s issue of the Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences — may provide clues to how metabolic(变化的;新陈代谢的) conditions in an animal can synchronize (使……同时发生) themselves with a body clock. For the study, scientists set mice on a regular feeding schedule, then looked at their brain tissue to find where genes were turned on in sync with feeding times. Researchers put the mice on a 12-hour light/dark cycle, and provided food for four hours in the middle of the light portion. (Because mice normally feed at night, this pattern is similar to humans eating at inappropriate times — that midnight snack, for instance. )
The mice fell into a pattern of searching for food two hours before each feeding time. They also flipped their normal day/night behaviour, ignoring the natural cue that day is their usual time to sleep. When the mice subsequently went two days without food, the genes continued to turn on in sync with the expected feeding time.
“So somewhere in the body, they clearly remembered this time of day, ” said Dr Masashi Yanagi-sawa, author of the study.
【文章大意】很多人有夜晚吃零食的习惯,但是研究者通过对老鼠进行研究发现,改变进食时间会改变大脑中基因对食物的需求时间,从而使体内生物钟发生紊乱。
5. From the passage we can know that it is hard to give up our midnight snack because _____ .
A. it is only our habit
B. when we have such a habit, the genes in our brain expect food at that time
C. we all like midnight snack

7. In the experiment, why did the researchers provide mice with food in the day
A. Because mice normally feed at night, this pattern is similar to humans eating at inappropriate times.
B. Because they wanted to find whether mice like to eat food at this time.
C. Because they wanted to change the habit of mice’s eating.
D. Because they can observe mice clearly at this time.
【解析】选A。从文中第三段可以看出,研究者打破老鼠的饮食规律,目的就是设置与人类在不适当的时间进食相同的情况进行研究。
8. What’s the best title of the passage
A. Midnight snacking alters the brain
B. Experiment on mice
C. Giving up midnight snack
D. The new findings
【解析】选A。纵观全文,第一段应该是主题段,这一段主要说明晚上吃零食会改变大脑基因对食物的需求时间。接下来是通过研究者对老鼠的试验,说明这一发现。
