一、阅读理解(本大题共15小题,共30.0分)
A
Weighing too much can damage your health,and obesity is a growing problem for both kids and adults around the world.Sleep might be one answer to the problem.A new study has found that elementary school students who slept too little were more likely to gain pounds.
Past studies have shown a link between sleeping less and weighing more,but scientists have had a tough time determining " " says Julie C.Lumeng of the university of Michigan in Ann Arbor.In other words,it hasn't been clear whether kids who weigh too much have trouble sleeping,or whether sleeping less leads to weight gain.Both scenarios seemed equally possible.
To get a better idea of which causes which,Lumeng and her colleagues interviewed the parents of 785 third graders from around the United States.The parents answered questions about how well their kids slept that year.Three years later,the parents answered the same questions.By sixth grade,18 percent of kids involved in the study were obese.
The scientists found no relationship between weight and the students' race or gender.It also
didn't matter how strict their parents were,or whether they were boys or girls.Obesity struck all of these groups equally.Instead,sleep seemed to be the key factor.Over the three years of study,the children averaged a healthy 9.5 hours of sleep a night.Some kids,however,slept a lot more or less than others.
For the sixth graders,every hour of sleep above the 9.5 houraverage was linked to a 20 percent lower risk of being obese.Sleep appeared doubly important for the third graders.Every extra hour of sleep they got was linked to a 40 percent drop in obesity.

On June 17,1774,the officials from Maryland and Virginia held a talk with the Indians of the Six Nations.The Indians were invited to send boys to William and Mary College.In a letter the next day they refused the offer as follows:
We know that you have a high opinion of the kind of learning taught in your colleges,and that the costs of living of our young men,while with you,would be very expensive to you.We are convinced that you mean to do us good by your proposal;and we thank you heartily.But you must know that different nations have different ways of looking at things,and you will therefore not be offended if our ideas of this kind of education happen not to be the same as yours.We have had some experience of it.Several of our young people were formerly brought up at the college of the northern provinces:they were taught all your sciences;but when they came back to us,they were bad manners,ignorant of every means of living in the woods - they were totally good for nothing.
We are,however,not the less obliged by your kind offer,though we refuse to accept it;and,to show our grateful sense of it,if the gentlemen of Virginia will send us a dozen of their sons,we will take care of their education,teach them all we know,and make men of them.
9. The passage is about ______ .
A. the talk between the Indians and the officials
B. the colleges of the northern provinces
C. the educational values of the Indians
D. the problems of the Americans in the mid-eighteen century
10. The Indian chief's purpose of writing the letter seems to be to ______ .
A. politely refuse a friendly offer
B. express their opinions on equal treatment
C. show their pride
D. describe Indian customs
11. According to the letter,the Indians believed that ______ .
A. it would be better for their boys to receive some schooling
B. they were being insulted by the offer
C. they knew more about science than the officials
D. they had better way of educating young men

Never go into a supermarket hungry!This is a good piece of advice.If you go shopping for food before lunchtime,you'll probably buy more than you plan to.Unfortunately,however,just this advice isn't enough for consumers these days.Modern shoppers need an education in how and how not to buy things at the store.First,you check the weekly newspaper ads.Find out the items that are on sale and decide if you really need these things.In other words,don't buy anything just because it's cheaper than usual!"New and Improved!" or"All Natural" on the front of a package influence you.Instead,read the list of ingredients(contents) on the back.Third,compare prices:that is,you should examine the prices of both different brands and different sizes of the same brand.
Another suggestion for consumers is to buy ordinary items instead of famous brands.Ordinary items in supermarkets come in plain packages.These products are cheaper because producers don't spend much money on packing or advertising.The quality however,is usually as good as the quality of well-known name brands.In the same way,in buying clothes,you can often find high quality and low prices in brands that are not famous.Shopping in discount clothing stores can help you save a lot of money.Although these stores aren't very attractive,and they usually do not have individual dressing rooms,not only are the prices low,but you can often find the same famous brands that you find in high-priced department stores.
Wise consumers read magazine ads and watch TV commercials,but they do this with one advantage:knowledge of the psychology behind the ads.In other words,well-informed consumers watch for information and check for misinformation.They ask themselves questions:Is the advertiser hiding something in small print at the bottom of the page?Is there any real information in the commercial,or is the advertiser simply showing an attractive image?With the answers to these questions,consumers can make a wise choice.
13. All the fllowing statements are true about the phrase"ordinary items" in Paragraph 2 except ______ .
A. ordinary items never say"New and Improved" or"All Natural"
B. ordinary products are usually cheaper than famous brands
C. producers spend less money on packaging of ordinary items
D. the quality of ordinary items is usually as good as that of famous brands
14. What does the writer think about ads? ______
A. They are believable. B. They are atractive.
C. They are full of misinformation. D. They are helpful to consumers.
15. One of the author's suggestions to consumers is ______ .
A. to make use of ads
B. not to buy items with words like"New and Improved" or"All Natural"
C. to buy high quality items such as famous brands after lunch
D. to buy any ordinary items instead of famous brands

【解析】(1)F.因果关系题。根据前文"Managing your time is a lot like managing your money(管理你的时间很像管理你的金钱)"可知,该空处要说明原因,选项F"Once you spend it,it's gone,so you have to make it all count.(一旦你花了它,它就消失了,所以你必须让它都有价值)"符合语境。故选F。
(2)E.标题归纳题。根据后文"Estimate the amount of time per week you spend on each activity,such as class time,athletics fitness,socializing with friends and other hobby time and so on.(估计一下你每周花在每项活动上的时间,比如上课时间、运动健身、与朋友社交和其他爱好时间等等)"可知,选项E"Figure out how you use your time each week(弄清楚你是如何利用每周的时间的)"对后文进行了概括,突出了中心,符合语境。故选E。
(3)D.细节理解题。根据第二步的小标题"Assess your use of time(评估你的时间使用情况)"及空前句"If you have time left over,ask yourself what choices can be made(如果你还有时间,问问自己可以做出什么选择)"可知,要确定对时间的使用,选项D"Do you have time for more sleep?(你还有时间多睡会儿吗?)"承接上句的提问,进行反问,同时也与本空后的Volunteering和Friends构成并列,符合语境。故选D。
(4)G.因果关系题。根据第三步小标题"Determine a goal and plan of action for better time use.(确定一个目标和行动计划以更好地利用时间)"及前文"You should consider using a calendar or planner(你应该考虑使用日历或计划表)"可知,作者建议大家买个日历或者备忘记事本。选项G"It can help you keep track of time,proects,tasks and be more efficient.(它可以帮助你跟踪时间,保护,任务和更有效率)"解释了作者之所以这样建议的原因,符合语境。故选G。
(5)C.标题归纳题。根据后文"You'll want to take a look at this again at the start of each term,if you get a job,or if you notice any changes in your physical or emotional condition.(在每学期开始的时候,如果你找到了一份工作,或者如果你注意到你的身体或情绪状况有任何变化,你会想再看看这个。)"可知,该空处要给出建议,选项C"Repeat,when necessary.(再重复一遍,在必要的时候。)"符合语境,其中的Repeat和下文中的again是解题的关键。故选C。
本文是一篇说明文,文章主要介绍了如何管理时间并给出了一些建议。
选句填空类阅读理解题材广泛,故学生要拓展知识面,关心时事,学习之余,增加阅读面。做此类题型,要通读全文,了解常见写作顺序,重点理解空白处前后的句子,关注段落中各句子之间的逻辑关系,如:并列、转折、因果关系及其它关系。把握意思的连贯性、逻辑性,锁定线索词,认真阅读选项,排除迷惑项,确定选项后,再快速泛读全文,确保文章上下衔接流畅,选项有据可依。

完形填空考查学生综合运用语言的能力。做题时,要先通读全文,掌握大意,然后结合选项,仔细阅读文章,选择最适合语境的词,注意上下文的呼应及语境。
41.【答案】(1)has
(2)resources
(3)an
(4)lost
(5)greenest
(6)and
(7)with
(8)Fortunately
(9)that/which
(10)rising
【解析】(1)句意:但美国有一亿多套现有住房,把它们全部拆除将是非常浪费的。此处描述客观事实,所以用一般现在时态,主语是专有名词the US,故谓语动词应为第三人称单数形式,故填has。
(2)句意:大量的能源和资源投入到这些房屋的建造中。resource是可数名词,前面有an enormous amount of“大量的”修饰,故用复数形式,故填resources。
(3)句意:一个新的节能房屋减少的碳排放平均需要65年才能弥补旧房屋被摧毁所造成的资源损失。an average of表示“平均”,average是以元音音素开头的单词,故填an。
(4)分析句子可知,设空处应为非谓语形式;逻辑主语resources与lose之间是被动关系,故用动词-ed形式作后置定语,故填lost。
(5)句意:所以从最广泛的意义上说,最环保的房子是已经建成的房子。结合语境可知,此处表示“最环保的房子是……”,故应用形容词的最高级形式,故填greenest。
(6)句意:但与此同时,美国近一半的碳排放来自供暖、制冷和建筑供电。heating, cooling和powering是并列关系,故应用连词and连接。故填and。
(7)句意:不处理现有建筑就无法应对气候变化。固定短语deal with意为“处理“,故填with。
(8)句意:幸运地是,有大量相对简单的改变可以使老房子变得环保。此处应用副词作状语,修饰整个句子,fortunately意为“幸运地”,设空处位于句首,单词首字母需大写。故填Fortunately。
(9)分析句子可知,设空处引导定语从句,修饰先行词changes,指物,且关系词在从句中作主语,因此应用that或which引导从句。故填that/which。
(10)句意:能效升级不仅可以拯救地球;它们可以帮助所有者免受电力成本上涨的影响。固定短语protect sb. from sth.表示“保护某人免受某物的伤害”,设空处应用形容词作定语,修饰power costs,形容词rising意为“上升的,上涨的”。故填rising。
