There are several factors that influence how long it takes to see results of weight loss, including the type of exercise program; how often; your nutrition and so on. Personal trainer, Chris Leach, says that “to get in shape, you first need to define what that actually means to you.”
However, “The phrase’ weight quickly lost is usually quickly regained holds a lot of truth.” Leach adds. This is because rapid weight loss is caused by undereating, overtraining, or both.
Usually, this type of workout and nutrition schedule is rigid and unsustainable. “You’ll see rapid results right off the bat but after a few weeks or months, you’ll almost always become weak, tired, and hungry,” says Leach. “That will likely result in stopping your program and losing the results, as well.”
The best way to avoid this trap is to do a workout program you can commit to long-term.
Put plainly, the time, effort, and consistency you devote to your workout goals determine how fast you achieve them.
“If you do five workouts a week, spend a couple of hours prepping meals, and get eight to nine hours of sleep every night, you’ll see results much faster than if you only work out sparingly (节俭地) and don’t have as much time to sleep, recover, or work on your nutrition,” says Leach. “A good starting point is to aim for three to five hours of workouts per week to see results within roughly two to three months.”
The type of workouts dictates how long it takes to see results as well as the type of results you`ll see.
* Cardio (有氧运动): running, swimming, cycling, walking, and dancing which can improve heart health and burn calories
* Strength training: circuit training, powerlifting, bodyweight training, and CrossFit which can help build muscle and boost metabolism
Cardio results typically app ear quicker than results from strength training because it’s often easier for people to lose weight than gain muscle. “The typical human body can only synthesize (合成) around 1-2 pounds of muscle per month at most, but it’s physiologically possible to burn a lot more fat during the same amount of time,” Leach says.
However, it takes longer to lose the benefits of strength training compared to cardio works. Muscle loss typically takes about 2-3 weeks if you’re not using them at all, whereas you can gain 1-2 pounds of weight a week if you start eating more calories than you burn.
4. What does the underlined sentence in paragraph 2 probably mean
A. It is true that rapid weight loss is effective.
B. There exist many tricks of rapid weight loss.
C. Many types of exercise lead to rapid weight loo.
D. Rapid weight loss causes weight to regain quickly.
5. What is the function of the sentence in bold
A. To create a special atmosphere. B. To make the data more accurate.
C. To echo (呼应) from beginning to end. D. To connect the preceding and the following.
6. What can we infer by comparing cardio and strength training
A. It takes shorter time to lose weight through cardio.
B. Muscle loss takes longer time than muscle building.
C. Strength training is more effective to improve heart health.
D. Strength training has more advantages than cardio in weight loss.
7. What is the passage mainly about
A. The factors influencing health. B. The problems with weight loss.
C. The factors affecting weight loss. D. The advantages of strength training.
【答案】4. D 5. D 6. A 7. C
【解析】
【导语】这是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍了影响减肥结果的几个因素，包括锻炼计划的类型、频率和营养等。
【4题详解】
句意猜测题。根据第二段“This is because rapid weight loss is caused by undereating, overtraining, or both. (这是因为快速减肥是由饮食不足、过度训练或两者兼而有之造成的)”以及第三段“Usually, this type of workout and nutrition schedule is rigid and unsustainable. “You’ll see rapid results right off the bat but after a few weeks or months, you’ll almost always become weak, tired, and hungry,” says Leach. “That will likely result in stopping your program and losing the results, as well.” (通常，这种类型的锻炼和营养计划是僵硬和不可持续的。“你会立刻看到效果，但几周或几个月后，你几乎总是会变得虚弱、疲倦和饥饿，”利奇说。“这可能会导致你的项目停止，也会失去成果。”)”可知，快速减肥失去的重量会迅速恢复。故划线句意思是“快速减肥导致体重迅速反弹”。故选D。
【5题详解】
推理判断题。根据第四段“The best way to avoid this trap is to do a workout program you can commit to long-term. (避免这个陷阱的最好方法是做一个你可以长期坚持的锻炼计划)” 可知，this trap指代上文提到的快速减肥导致体重迅速反弹，do a workout program you can commit to long-term指下文要介绍的锻炼方式，故可推知，黑体句子的功能是承上启下。故选D。
【6题详解】
推理判断题。根据倒数第二段“Cardio results typically app ear quicker than results from strength training because it’s often easier for people to lose weight than gain muscle. (有氧运动的效果通常比力量训练的效果更快，因为人们通常更容易减肥而不是增加肌肉。)”可推知，通过有氧运动减肥需要更短的时间。故选A。
【7题详解】
主旨大意题。根据第一段“There are several factors that influence how long it takes to see results of weight loss, including the type of exercise program; how often; your nutrition and so on. Personal trainer, Chris Leach, says that “to get in shape, you first need to define what that actually means to you.” (有几个因素会影响看到减肥效果需要多长时间，包括锻炼计划的类型；多长时间；你的营养等等。私人教练Chris Leach说：“要想保持身材，你首先需要定义这对你来说到底意味着什么。”)”可知，这篇文章主要讲的是影响减肥的因素。故选C。

We are constantly reminded to eat well to achieve heart health, lose weight or ward off diseases like cancer. But we often ignore the brain — our most complex organ — when making choices about what to put in our mouths. Just like the rest of the body, the brain is impacted by what we consume and it’s important we feed it well.
While scientists don’t yet fully understand the complex relationship between nutrition and the brain, studies have shown that heart-healthy eating habits may help reduce risk of cognitive (认知的) decline.
“Although the idea that a heart-healthy diet may help protect against cognitive decline is not new, it is extremely important,” says Christy Tangney, a medical professor. “Research continues to demonstrate that healthy dietary choices in midlife are associated with a low risk of dementia (痴呆).”
There is growing evidence around several diets indicating they may be able to positively impact cognition. Ongoing research studies are currently evaluating these diets.
A. MEDITERRANEAN DIET
What it is the combination of different aspects of healthy eating that are typically found in the areas bordering the Mediterranean Sea.
What to eat *fruit, vegetables, nuts and grains; *replace butter with healthy fats like olive oil; *limit red meat; *use herbs to flavor food rather than salt; *eat fish and poultry at least twice a week.
What we know Published studies suggest that the Mediterranean diet in the long run is associated with slower cognitive decline and lower risk of developing Alzheimer’s disease.
B. ________
What it is A hybrid (混合体) of the Mediterranean and DASH diets.
What to eat *berries and green leafy vegetables, other vegetables, nuts, beans, whole grains, fish, poultry, olive oil and wine; *avoid red meats, butter, stick margarine, cheese, pastries and sweets, and fried and fast food.
What we know A 2015 study found that participants who strictly followed the MIND diet experienced a 53% reduction in risk of developing Alzheimer’s.
Another study currently being conducted with more than 600 older adults in Chicago and Boston will test the MIND diet’s impact on cognitive decline.
8. What can we know from the first two paragraphs
A. It is easy to avoid heart attacks by eating healthily.
B. What we eat actually has great effects on our brain health.
C. People are always reminded to attach importance to brain health.
D. Scientists have fully known the relationship between nutrition and brain.
9. What does the underlined word “they” in paragraph 4 refer to
A. Healthy dietary choices. B. Heart-healthy eating habits.
C. Different diet behaviors. D. The results of dietary studies.
10. What may be the best subtitle in the blank B
A. BRAIN DIET. B. DASH DIET.
C. HEALTHY DIET. D. MIND DIET.
11. What will be followed according to another study
A. Addressing the problem with the risk of dementia.
B. Further exploring the benefits of the Mediterranean diet.
C. Devoting more time to studying how to improve healthy diet.
D. Assessing the effects the MIND diet has on cognitive decline.
【答案】8. B 9. A 10. D 11. D
【解析】
【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章介绍了饮食实际上对我们的大脑健康有很大的影响，研究发现健康的饮食选择可以对人的认知产生积极的影响。
【8题详解】
细节理解题。根据第一段中“But we often ignore the brain — our most complex organ — when making choices about what to put in our mouths. Just like the rest of the body, the brain is impacted by what we consume and it’s important we feed it well. (但是当我们在选择吃什么东西的时候，我们常常忽略了大脑——我们最复杂的器官。就像身体的其他部位一样，大脑也会受到我们所摄入的食物的影响，所以我们要让大脑吃得好)”可知，我们吃的东西实际上对大脑健康有很大的影响。故选B项。
【9题详解】
词句猜测题。根据画线词的上文“Research continues to demonstrate that healthy dietary choices in midlife are associated with a low risk of dementia (痴呆). (研究继续表明，中年时期健康的饮食选择与痴呆症的低风险相关)”和下文“may be able to positively impact cognition. Ongoing research studies are currently evaluating these diets. (可能会对认知产生积极影响。目前正在进行的研究正在评估这些饮食)”，以及下文两个表格探究的是地中海饮食和健脑饮食可推知，此处对认知产生积极影响的应该是上文提到的健康的饮食选择，即they指代healthy dietary choices。故选A项。
【10题详解】
主旨大意题。根据表格中What it is的“A hybrid (混合体) of the Mediterranean and DASH diets. (地中海饮食和得舒饮食的混合体)”和What we know的“A 2015 study found that participants who strictly followed the MIND diet experienced a 53% reduction in risk of developing Alzheimer’s. (2015年的一项研究发现，严格遵循健脑饮食的参与者患阿尔茨海默病的风险降低了53%)”可知，该表格介绍的是混合了地中海饮食和得舒饮食的健脑饮食的信息，因此MIND DIET“健脑饮食”适合作为其标题。故选D项。
【11题详解】
细节理解题。根据最后一段“Another study currently being conducted with more than 600 older adults in Chicago and Boston will test the MIND diet’s impact on cognitive decline. (目前在芝加哥和波士顿进行的另一项研究将测试健脑饮食对认知能力下降的影响，研究对象是600多名老年人)”可知，另一项研究将评估健脑饮食对认知能力下降的影响。故选D项。
D
Dogs greet other dogs nose-first, as it were sniffing each other from fore to (especially) aft. People are not quite so open about the process of sniffing each other out. But there is also evidence that human beings can infer kinship (亲属关系), deduce emotional states and even detect disease via the sense of smell.
Now, Inbal Ravreby, Kobi Snitz and Noam Sobel of the Weizmann Institute of Science, in Israel, have gone a step further.
They have shown, admittedly in a fairly small sample of individuals, that friends actually smell alike. They have also shown that people pick friends at least partly on the basis of body odour (气味).
As they report in Science Advances, Dr Ravreby, Dr Snitz and Dr Sobel started their research by testing the odours of 20 pairs of established, non-romantic, same-sex friends. They employed an electronic nose (e-nose) and two groups of specially recruited (招聘的) human “smellers”. The e-nose used a set of metal-oxide gas sensors to assess t-shirts worn by participants.
One group of human smellers were given pairs of these shirts and asked to rate how similar they smelt. Those in the other group were asked to rate the odours of individual t-shirts on five subjective dimensions: pleasantness, intensity, sexual attractiveness, competence and warmth. All three approaches yielded the same result. The t-shirts of friends smelt more similar to each other than did the t-shirts of strangers.
Friends, in other words, do indeed smell alike.
To further understand whether friendship causes similarity of smell, or similarity of smell causes friendship, Dr Ravreby, Dr Snitz and Dr Sobel investigated whether e-nose measurements could predict positive interactions between strangers to develop a new friendship.
They gathered another 17 volunteers, gave them t-shirts to wear to collect their body odours, ran those odours past the e-nose, and then asked the participants to play a game.
Participants were paired up at random and their reactions recorded. After each interaction, they demonstrated how close they felt to their fellow game by overlapping (重叠) two circles (one representing themselves, the other their partner) on a screen. It showed that the more similar the two electronic smell signatures were, the greater the overlap.
12. What is the author’s purpose in mentioning dogs at the beginning of the passage
A. To raise some doubts. B. To illustrate a point.
C. To introduce the topic. D. To impress the readers.
13. How did the researchers carry out the first experiment
A. By analyzing the charts B. By describing the details.
C. By comparing the results. D. By explaining the theories.
14. Which is the right order of the events according to the second study
a. Participants were paired randomly.
b. Seventeen volunteers wore t-shirts.
c. Participants overlapped two circles.
d. The researchers ran smells past the e-nose.
A. b-c-d-a. B. c-d-a-b. C. d-c-b-a. D. b-d-a-c.
15. What can be a suitable title for the text
A. Pleasant body odours attract friends.
B. Similar smells strengthen friendship.
C. Friendship is based on same interests.
D. Friends tend to have similar body odours.
【答案】12. C 13. C 14. D 15. D
【解析】
【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章介绍研究发现，朋友之间的气味比较相似，人们选择朋友至少在一定程度上是基于身体气味。
【12题详解】
推理判断题。根据第一段“Dogs greet other dogs nose-first, as it were sniffing each other from fore to (especially) aft. People are not quite so open about the process of sniffing each other out. But there is also evidence that human beings can infer kinship (亲属关系), deduce emotional states and even detect disease via the sense of smell.(狗和其他狗打招呼时先用鼻子，就像它们从头到尾(尤其是)互相嗅嗅一样。人们对相互嗅嗅的过程就不那么公开了。但也有证据表明，人类可以通过嗅觉推断亲属关系，推断情绪状态，甚至检测疾病。)”可推知，作者在文章开头提到狗通过嗅觉来打招呼是为了引出下文话题：人类可以通过嗅觉推断亲属关系，推断情绪状态，甚至检测疾病。故选C项。
【13题详解】
推理判断题。根据第四段中“They employed an electronic nose (e-nose) and two groups of specially recruited (招聘的) human “smellers”. The e-nose used a set of metal-oxide gas sensors to assess t-shirts worn by participants.(他们使用了电子鼻和两组专门招募的人类“嗅探员”。电子鼻使用一套金属氧化物气体传感器来评估参与者穿的T恤。)”和第五段中“One group of human smellers were given pairs of these shirts and asked to rate how similar they smelt. Those in the other group were asked to rate the odours of individual t-shirts on five subjective dimensions: pleasantness, intensity, sexual attractiveness, competence and warmth. All three approaches yielded the same result. The t-shirts of friends smelt more similar to each other than did the t-shirts of strangers.(一组人类嗅觉者拿到了两件这样的衬衫，并被要求对它们的气味相似程度进行评分。另一组志愿者则被要求从五个主观维度来评价T恤的气味：愉悦度、强度、性吸引力、能力和温暖度。这三种方法都得到了相同的结果。朋友的T恤闻起来比陌生人的T恤更相似。)”可知，在第一个实验中，参与研究的对象被分为三种组别分别进行测试，最后对比测试结果，进而得出研究结论。所以第一个实验是通过比较结果的方式进行的。故选C项。
【14题详解】
细节理解题。根据倒数第二段“They gathered another 17 volunteers, gave them t-shirts to wear to collect their body odours, ran those odours past the e-nose, and then asked the participants to play a game.(他们又召集了17名志愿者，让他们穿T恤来收集体味，让他们把体味经过电子鼻，然后让参与者玩一个游戏。)”和倒数第三段中“Participants were paired up at random and their reactions recorded. After each interaction, they demonstrated how close they felt to their fellow game r by overlapping (重叠) two circles (one representing themselves, the other their partner) on a screen.(参与者被随机配对，并记录下他们的反应。在每次互动之后，他们通过在屏幕上重叠两个圆圈(一个代表他们自己，另一个代表他们的伙伴)来展示他们与同伴的亲密程度。)”可知，第二个试验的顺序是：17名志愿者穿着T恤→研究人员让气味通过电子鼻→参与者被随机配对→参与者重叠在两个圆圈上。所以，第二个研究的正确顺序是D项。故选D项。
【15题详解】
主旨大意题。通读全文，结合第一段中“But there is also evidence that human beings can infer kinship (亲属关系), deduce emotional states and even detect disease via the sense of smell.(但也有证据表明，人类可以通过嗅觉推断亲属关系，推断情绪状态，甚至检测疾病。)”、第三段中“They have also shown that people pick friends at least partly on the basis of body odour (气味).(研究还表明，人们挑选朋友至少在一定程度上是根据体味。)”和倒数第四段中“Friends, in other words, do indeed smell alike.(换句话说，朋友闻起来确实很像。)”可推知，本文介绍了朋友之间的气味比较相似，人们选择朋友至少在一定程度上是基于身体气味。由此推知“Friends tend to have similar body odours.(朋友之间往往有相似的体味。)”是最佳标题。故选D项。

【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍了神农架景区的四季美景、自然景观和游客可以体验的活动。
【16题详解】
前文“In the remote mountains and primary forests, many visitors wish to encounter the legendary yeren (wild man), also called Bigfoot. (在偏远的山区和原始森林，许多游客希望遇到传说中的野人，也被称为大脚怪。)”提到神农架吸引游客的野人传说，后文“Instead, they are attracted by Shennongjia’s rich biodiversity and karst (喀斯特地形) land forms. (相反，他们被神农架丰富的生物多样性和喀斯特地貌所吸引。)”说明真正吸引游客的是这里的生物和地貌，因此空处起到过渡作用，会说明游客遇不到野人。A项“They may not see any such creature. (他们可能看不到任何这样的生物)”符合语境，承前启后，其中的They指代前文的many visitors，such creature指前文的the legendary yeren。故选A。
【17题详解】
空处位于段首，需引出段落内容。后文“Tourists can enjoy flower blossoms in spring, be shaded from the summer heat, appreciate red leaves in autumn and go skiing in winter. (游客可以在春天赏花，在夏天乘凉，在秋天赏红叶，在冬天滑雪。)”介绍了神农架一年四季的风景，因此空处可能会涉及四季之美。F项“The nature of Shennongjia’s beauty varies colorfully all year around. (神农架的自然之美一年都多姿多彩。)”符合语境，契合后文内容，其中的all year around呼应后文的spring、summer、autumn和winter。故选F。
【18题详解】
前文“Visitors can hike in the forest. (游客可以在森林里徒步旅行。)”介绍在神农架徒步旅行，后文“An early rise by visitors may be rewarded with an extremely attractive view of a sea of clouds beneath. (早起的游客可能有幸欣赏到下面云海的迷人景色。)”推荐难得的云海景观，因此空处起到衔接的作用，可能会谈到旅行和云海之间的联系。E项“Trips in such a mountainous region depend largely on the weather. (在这样一个多山的地区旅行很大程度上取决于天气。)”符合语境，引出后文能看到云海的难得之处。故选E。
【19题详解】
前文“There are waterfalls, pools and a 56-ft-high arch that resembles a bridge crafted by nature after centuries of rain erosion.

【导语】本文是一篇说明文，主要介绍了信阳腌腊肉制作时间、制作方法和对人们的意义。
【36题详解】
考查非谓语动词。句意：在信阳，冬天做腌腊肉是迎接新年的一件大事。分析句子结构，空处应用非谓语动词。结合句意，这里表示“迎接新年的一件大事”，所以应用不定式作后置定语，表示主动和将来。故填to embrace。
【37题详解】
考查非谓语动词。句意：每年农历十二月，信阳的每个家庭都开始准备年货，一串串腊肉和香肠挂在院子里。分析句子结构，第二个逗号前后的主语不一致，且前面是一个完整的句子，所以这里为独立主格结构。动词hang和逻辑主语bunches of bacon and sausage之间是主谓关系，强调状态，用现在分词。故填hanging。
【38题详解】
考查代词。句意：由于其独特的地理位置和气候，它培养了信阳人对美食有良好胃口的特点。根据空后的unique geographical position and climate可知，这里应用形容词性物主代词its。故填its。
【39题详解】
考查定语从句。句意参考上题。分析句子结构，空处引导一个限制性定语从句，修饰先行词Xinyang people，指人，且在从句中作主语，所以可以用关系代词who或that引导。故填who/that。
【40题详解】
考查非谓语动词。句意：根据相关文字记载，腌腊肉只有放在特制的豆子中保存才能保持其独特的味道。分析句子结构，空处填非谓语动词和when构成时间状语，preserve和逻辑主语pickled bacon之间为被动关系，应用过去分词。故填preserved。
【41题详解】
考查冠词。句意：信阳的腌腊肉制作方法很简单。根据空后的simple way可知，这里表示泛指，且simple的发音以辅音音素开头，所以应用不定冠词a。故填a。
【42题详解】
考查形容词。句意：它不仅保留了腌腊肉的原汁原味，还保留了腊肉的独特工艺。这里应用形容词修饰后面的flavor。original意为“最初的，原来的”，符合题意。故填original。
【43题详解】
考查名词。句意：当某件事与我们相处很长时间时，我们往往会忽视它的存在和意义，但你永远不会完全意识到你有多重视它，直到你与它分离多年。根据空前的its，这里应用名词，和and后的significance一起并列作宾语。existence意为“存在”，为不可数名词。故填existence。
【44题详解】
考查时间状语从句。句意参考上题。never...until/till意为“直到……才……”，until引导时间状语从句。故填until/till。
【45题详解】
考查副词。句意：一旦它回到你身边，你会发现它真的很珍贵。这里应用副词，修饰空后的形容词precious。really意为“十分，很”。故填really。

47. 阅读下面材料，根据其内容和所给段落开头语续写两段，使之构成一篇完整的短文。
“How did tryout go, Shayna ” Mom asked after school. “Terrible,” I said. “Kristie got Cinderella’s part!” “What part did you get ” “None,” I whispered. I ran to my room and started weeping because of my lack of a talent for the play. I always bear it in mind that drawing is my good part and drawing always makes me feel better.
The next day, Kristie was excited. But when the last bell rang, her mood changed. “I’m nervous, Shayna,” she said. “Will you continue to come to rehearsal ”
I wanted to say no. Then I realized I couldn’t leave yet. My parents had signed me up for the late bus because I thought I’d be in the play.
“All right,” I said. “But only today.”
In the auditorium, Ms. Carson handed out copies of the script to the cast. I sat in the third row, wishing I were in my room drawing. Ms. Carson pulled a cardboard castle onto the middle of the stage. It was brown with small windows and doors.
“How terrible the scene is!” I thought to myself.
Ms. Carson turned on the music, and Kristie and the Prince started dancing. I had to admit, Kristie was really good. Ms. Carson hit a metal triangle with a little stick 12 times. Kristie ran off the stage and dropped her left sneakers. The curtain came down.
“Thanks, everyone,” said Ms. Carson. “We’ll go through the rest tomorrow.”
“When will we get the real sets ” Kristie pointed to the cardboard castle.
“These are the real sets,” Ms. Carson said. “We don’t have an art teacher this year. So that’s the best we could do.”
注意：
1.续写词数应为150左右；
2.请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。
Hearing what Ms. Carson said, I thought for a moment. “Maybe there’s something I can do.”
___________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
Finally, opening night arrived.
___________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
【答案】 Hearing what Ms. Carson said, I thought for a moment. “Maybe there’s something I can do.” I spent that evening drawing, immersed and joyful. In the morning, I stuck my sketchbook into my backpack and ran to the bus. On arriving at school, I couldn’t wait to show my sketch to Ms. Carson. Looking at my draft, Ms. Carson gave me a big hug, with a surprised smile flicking across her lips. With the Ms. Carson’s encouragement, I decided to draw real sets for the play. Over the next weeks, a corner of the lunchroom was filled with cardboard and paints.
Finally, opening night arrived. I sat next to Mom and Dad in the auditorium. When the curtain rose, everyone saw a magical land with a fancy carriage and a glittering castle. Kristie was a wonderful Cinderella, and everyone applauded when the play was over. Then Ms. Carson called me up to the stage. She said into the microphone, “I’d like to give a special thanks to Shayna, who designed them. Her effort and talent made tonight extra special.” Everyone clapped. For me! I did get a part in the play after all. And it was just as good as being Cinderella.
【解析】
【导语】本篇文章以人物为线索。作者没能通过话剧的选拔，而Kristie获得了灰姑娘的角色，所以作者的心情很失落。在陪Kristie排练时，作者得知因为没有美术老师帮忙，舞台的布景差强人意，于是作者决定为此做点什么。当作者把自己的绘画拿给Carson老师看时，她非常满意。作者为这次话剧画了美妙绝伦的布景。当演出结束时，Carson老师还特别邀请作者上台，向作者表达了感谢。作者虽然没能参演话剧，但她仍然是话剧里的一部分。
【详解】1. 续写线索：
由续写第一段首句“听到Carson老师的话，我想了一会儿。‘也许我能做点什么。’”可知，第一段可以描写作者利用自己的绘画才能，将画好的素描给Carson老师看，老师看后非常激动，邀请作者为话剧画布景，于是作者行动了起来。
由续写第二段首句“终于，首夜演出到来了。”可知，第二段可以描写演出时的场景，作者画的布景让这次演出锦上添花，最后老师向作者表达了特别感谢，作者为自己成为话剧的一部分而感到开心。
2. 段落续写：作者思考自己或许能做点什么——花一晚上画画——向老师展示画作——得到老师鼓励——话剧画布景——演出开始——布景给话剧增添了艺术效果——演出取得圆满成功——老师向作者表达特别感谢——作者很有成就感

There are several factors that influence how long it takes to see results of weight loss, including the type of exercise program; how often; your nutrition and so on. Personal trainer, Chris Leach, says that “to get in shape, you first need to define what that actually means to you.”
However, “The phrase’ weight quickly lost is usually quickly regained holds a lot of truth.” Leach adds. This is because rapid weight loss is caused by undereating, overtraining, or both.
Usually, this type of workout and nutrition schedule is rigid and unsustainable. “You’ll see rapid results right off the bat but after a few weeks or months, you’ll almost always become weak, tired, and hungry,” says Leach. “That will likely result in stopping your program and losing the results, as well.”
The best way to avoid this trap is to do a workout program you can commit to long-term.
Put plainly, the time, effort, and consistency you devote to your workout goals determine how fast you achieve them.
“If you do five workouts a week, spend a couple of hours prepping meals, and get eight to nine hours of sleep every night, you’ll see results much faster than if you only work out sparingly (节俭地) and don’t have as much time to sleep, recover, or work on your nutrition,” says Leach. “A good starting point is to aim for three to five hours of workouts per week to see results within roughly two to three months.”
The type of workouts dictates how long it takes to see results as well as the type of results you`ll see.
* Cardio (有氧运动): running, swimming, cycling, walking, and dancing which can improve heart health and burn calories
* Strength training: circuit training, powerlifting, bodyweight training, and CrossFit which can help build muscle and boost metabolism
Cardio results typically app ear quicker than results from strength training because it’s often easier for people to lose weight than gain muscle. “The typical human body can only synthesize (合成) around 1-2 pounds of muscle per month at most, but it’s physiologically possible to burn a lot more fat during the same amount of time,” Leach says.
However, it takes longer to lose the benefits of strength training compared to cardio works. Muscle loss typically takes about 2-3 weeks if you’re not using them at all, whereas you can gain 1-2 pounds of weight a week if you start eating more calories than you burn.

We are constantly reminded to eat well to achieve heart health, lose weight or ward off diseases like cancer. But we often ignore the brain — our most complex organ — when making choices about what to put in our mouths. Just like the rest of the body, the brain is impacted by what we consume and it’s important we feed it well.
While scientists don’t yet fully understand the complex relationship between nutrition and the brain, studies have shown that heart-healthy eating habits may help reduce risk of cognitive (认知的) decline.
“Although the idea that a heart-healthy diet may help protect against cognitive decline is not new, it is extremely important,” says Christy Tangney, a medical professor. “Research continues to demonstrate that healthy dietary choices in midlife are associated with a low risk of dementia (痴呆).”
There is growing evidence around several diets indicating they may be able to positively impact cognition. Ongoing research studies are currently evaluating these diets.
A. MEDITERRANEAN DIET
What it is the combination of different aspects of healthy eating that are typically found in the areas bordering the Mediterranean Sea.
What to eat *fruit, vegetables, nuts and grains; *replace butter with healthy fats like olive oil; *limit red meat; *use herbs to flavor food rather than salt; *eat fish and poultry at least twice a week.
What we know Published studies suggest that the Mediterranean diet in the long run is associated with slower cognitive decline and lower risk of developing Alzheimer’s disease.
B. ________
What it is A hybrid (混合体) of the Mediterranean and DASH diets.
What to eat *berries and green leafy vegetables, other vegetables, nuts, beans, whole grains, fish, poultry, olive oil and wine; *avoid red meats, butter, stick margarine, cheese, pastries and sweets, and fried and fast food.
What we know A 2015 study found that participants who strictly followed the MIND diet experienced a 53% reduction in risk of developing Alzheimer’s.
Another study currently being conducted with more than 600 older adults in Chicago and Boston will test the MIND diet’s impact on cognitive decline.
8. What can we know from the first two paragraphs
A. It is easy to avoid heart attacks by eating healthily.
B. What we eat actually has great effects on our brain health.
C. People are always reminded to attach importance to brain health.
D. Scientists have fully known the relationship between nutrition and brain.
9. What does the underlined word “they” in paragraph 4 refer to
A. Healthy dietary choices. B. Heart-healthy eating habits.
C Different diet behaviors. D. The results of dietary studies.
10. What may be the best subtitle in the blank B
A. BRAIN DIET. B. DASH DIET.
C. HEALTHY DIET. D. MIND DIET.
11. What will be followed according to another study
A. Addressing the problem with the risk of dementia.
B. Further exploring the benefits of the Mediterranean diet.
C. Devoting more time to studying how to improve healthy diet.
D. Assessing the effects the MIND diet has on cognitive decline.
D
Dogs greet other dogs nose-first, as it were sniffing each other from fore to (especially) aft. People are not quite so open about the process of sniffing each other out. But there is also evidence that human beings can infer kinship (亲属关系), deduce emotional states and even detect disease via the sense of smell.
Now, Inbal Ravreby, Kobi Snitz and Noam Sobel of the Weizmann Institute of Science, in Israel, have gone a step further.
They have shown, admittedly in a fairly small sample of individuals, that friends actually smell alike. They have also shown that people pick friends at least partly on the basis of body odour (气味).
As they report in Science Advances, Dr Ravreby, Dr Snitz and Dr Sobel started their research by testing the odours of 20 pairs of established, non-romantic, same-sex friends. They employed an electronic nose (e-nose) and two groups of specially recruited (招聘的) human “smellers”. The e-nose used a set of metal-oxide gas sensors to assess t-shirts worn by participants.
One group of human smellers were given pairs of these shirts and asked to rate how similar they smelt. Those in the other group were asked to rate the odours of individual t-shirts on five subjective dimensions: pleasantness, intensity, sexual attractiveness, competence and warmth. All three approaches yielded the same result. The t-shirts of friends smelt more similar to each other than did the t-shirts of strangers.
Friends, in other words, do indeed smell alike.
To further understand whether friendship causes similarity of smell, or similarity of smell causes friendship, Dr Ravreby, Dr Snitz and Dr Sobel investigated whether e-nose measurements could predict positive interactions between strangers to develop a new friendship.
They gathered another 17 volunteers, gave them t-shirts to wear to collect their body odours, ran those odours past the e-nose, and then asked the participants to play a game.
Participants were paired up at random and their reactions recorded. After each interaction, they demonstrated how close they felt to their fellow game by overlapping (重叠) two circles (one representing themselves, the other their partner) on a screen. It showed that the more similar the two electronic smell signatures were, the greater the overlap.
12. What is the author’s purpose in mentioning dogs at the beginning of the passage
A. To raise some doubts. B. To illustrate a point.
C. To introduce the topic. D. To impress the readers.
13 How did the researchers carry out the first experiment
A. By analyzing the charts B. By describing the details.
C. By comparing the results. D. By explaining the theories.
14. Which is the right order of the events according to the second study
a. Participants were paired randomly.
b Seventeen volunteers wore t-shirts.
c. Participants overlapped two circles.
d. The researchers ran smells past the e-nose.
A. b-c-d-a. B. c-d-a-b. C. d-c-b-a. D. b-d-a-c.
15. What can be a suitable title for the text
A. Pleasant body odours attract friends.
B. Similar smells strengthen friendship.
C. Friendship is based on same interests.
D. Friends tend to have similar body odours.

“How did tryout go, Shayna ” Mom asked after school. “Terrible,” I said. “Kristie got Cinderella’s part!” “What part did you get ” “None,” I whispered. I ran to my room and started weeping because of my lack of a talent for the play. I always bear it in mind that drawing is my good part and drawing always makes me feel better.
The next day, Kristie was excited. But when the last bell rang, her mood changed. “I’m nervous, Shayna,” she said. “Will you continue to come to rehearsal ”
I wanted to say no. Then I realized I couldn’t leave yet. My parents had signed me up for the late bus because I thought I’d be in the play.
“All right,” I said. “But only today.”
In the auditorium, Ms. Carson handed out copies of the script to the cast. I sat in the third row, wishing I were in my room drawing. Ms. Carson pulled a cardboard castle onto the middle of the stage. It was brown with small windows and doors.
“How terrible the scene is!” I thought to myself.
Ms. Carson turned on the music, and Kristie and the Prince started dancing. I had to admit, Kristie was really good. Ms. Carson hit a metal triangle with a little stick 12 times. Kristie ran off the stage and dropped her left sneakers. The curtain came down.
“Thanks, everyone,” said Ms. Carson. “We’ll go through the rest tomorrow.”
“When will we get the real sets ” Kristie pointed to the cardboard castle.
“These are the real sets,” Ms. Carson said. “We don’t have an art teacher this year. So that’s the best we could do.”
