6. A. 段落大意题。根据第三段第一句“Researchers studied 200 family mealtimes, testing the influences of mealtime habits of families with children in primary school.(研究人员研究了200个家庭用餐时间，测试了小学有孩子的家庭用餐习惯的影响。)”可知，这段作者想要向我们展示一下一项研究结果。故选A。

这是一篇说明文，文章主要介绍了日食现象及观看日食的正确方法。
1. D。空前一句“Solar eclipses are beautiful astronomical events and many people across the world travel to faraway places to get a clear view of the phenomenon.”提到，日食是美丽的天文现象，世界各地的许多人前往遥远的地方，以清楚地看到这一现象，结合空后一句“Others choose special eyewear.(其他人则选择特殊的眼镜。)”可知，空处应是也描述观看日食的设备，D项“他们中的一些人通过特殊的望远镜观看这一现象。”符合语境，D项中的Some与空后一句的Others呼应。故选D项。
2. B。根据空前一句“However, various scientific authorities have stated over and over again that there is no harm at all in viewing a solar eclipse with the right eye gear.”可知，各种科学权威一再声明，用适当的眼睛防护设备观看日食完全没有害处，由此可推知，孕妇不能观看日食的说法不正确，即孕妇可以观看日食。B项“所以她们不必担心看日食”符合语境。故选B项。
3. C。根据空前两句“Staring right at the sun could permanently damage the eyes. It is wrong to assume that the sun can be looked at after the moon blocks out a majority of it.”可知，盯着太阳看会对眼睛造成永久性伤害。如果认为月亮遮住了大部分太阳后就可以直视太阳，那是错误的。由此可推知，不能直接用肉眼看日食，C项“直接观看日食是绝对不允许的”符合语境。故选C项。
4. G。空前一句“As opposed to popular belief, sunglasses and dark films do NOT protect our eyes.”提到，与普遍的看法相反，太阳镜和暗膜并不能保护我们的眼睛，结合空后一句“You can do this by fixing a telescope and focusing the image onto a sheet of paper. You can clearly see the eclipse on the sheet of paper.(你可以把望远镜固定在一张纸上，把图像对焦。你可以在这张纸上清楚地看到日食。)”可知，空处应是描述看日食的正确方法，空后是描述具体的操作，G项“观察日食的最好方法是观看它的投影。”符合语境，空后一句中的this指代G项中的“viewing its projected image”。故选G项。
5. E。空前一句“Similarly, you can make a tiny hole on an opaque(不透明的) sheet of paper and let the light passing through fall on a sheet of paper. (类似地，你可以在一张不透明的纸上挖一个小孔，让通过小孔的光落在一张纸上。)”是介绍另一个观看日食的方法，分析选项，E项“这种方法也是观测日食的一种有效方法。”说明其作用，符合语境。故选E项。

A
If you could sail around the world with only one companion, who would you choose Guirec Soudee, a 24-year-old man from France, chose his pet chicken.
Soudee has been sailing around the world for two years. No matter which country he sails to, Monique, the hen, is by his side. He found her in the Canary Islands and knew right away they were meant to be best companions. “I didn’t speak any Spanish and she didn’t speak any French, however, we could always have a small talk, even though she didn’t understand me.” Soudee joked.
He had always wanted a companion for his journey and originally thought about bringing a cat before deciding it would be too much work to look after on a boat. Upon meeting Monique, Soudee realized a hen was the perfect choice. He believed they could communicate with each other well.
Not only does it cost little to raise Monique, but she lays eggs as well — some things that are always a plus in a situation where storing a lot of food can be a challenge. She lays about six eggs a week on average, even in cold climates like Greenland, where Soudee and Monique are docked(进港) now.
And what happens when the weather at sea gets bad Usually Soudee lets Monique stay freely on the boat, but when the winds get terrible he ensures she is safe in her hutch so that she doesn’t fall out of his boat and into the sea. Another thing Soudee must care for is the rule in every country he visits. They had met with customs officials in Canada. He was permitted to keep her, but he knows they might not always be so lucky.
Although Monique can sometimes get on his nerves, Soudee says she ’ s much better than a human companion aboard. “She follows me everywhere. All I need to do is shout ‘Monique!’ and she will come to me, sit on me, listen to my small talk and give me company,” he said.
After visiting Greenland, they’ll head down the Bering Strait to Nome, Alaska. From there the destination is undecided, but Soudee will certainly discuss where they should travel to next with Monique.
1. What is so special about Soudee’s sailing around the world
A. He sails with a pet friend for company.
B. He sails around the world for just two years.
C. He had no difficulty communicating with anyone.
D. He travelled around the world with only one companion.
2. Why does Soudee choose Monique as his companion
A. She can understand him best.
B. She adds more pleasure to his trip.
C. She helps him store a great deal of food.
D. She lays eggs and listens to his small talks.
3. What does the underlined sentence in Paragraph 6 probably mean
A. Monique does a better job than humans.
B. Soudee enjoys Monique’s company a lot.
C. Monique is perfect but sometimes annoys Soudee.
D. Soudee feels grateful for what Monique has done.
4. Where are Soudee and Monique now
A. In Canada B. In Greenland. C. In France. D. In Alaska.
B
Parents can cut the chances of their children getting fat simply by keeping them longer at table. Just three extra minutes at a family mealtime could help avoid child fatness. Research found that the reasons might lie in communication and the importance of a scheduled mealtime.
Dr.Barbara Fiese said, “Children, whose families have a 20 minute meal over four times a week, weigh less than kids who leave the table after 15 to 17 minutes. Over time, those extra minutes per meal add up and become really powerful.”
Researchers studied 200 family mealtimes, testing the influences of mealtime behavior of families with children in primary school. They found that families, who said that shared mealtimes were an important part of family life and had special meaning for them, were less likely to have fat children. Similarly, families, who talked more together and communicated more positively during the meal, were more likely to have healthy weight children.
Teaching families how to make the most of family mealtimes was a wise idea. Dr. Fiese said, “This is something we can target and teach.” She added. “It’s also important to recognize the increasing differences of families and their sometimes complex living schedules that may challenge their abilities to plan ahead and set some time to communicate with each other.”
Families in poorer US neighborhoods faced a lot of problems, including poor chances of getting healthy food. But even so, regular high quality family mealtimes made a difference to the children’s weight. Dr. Fiese said, “Three to four extra minutes per meal will make a healthy weight more possible.”
5. How long is reasonable for a family mealtime according to the text
A. About 10 minutes. B. About 15 minutes.
C. About 17 minutes. D. About 20 minutes.
6. What does the author want to tell us in Paragraph 3
A. The result of a study. B. Different eating habits.
C. Causes of child fatness. D. The importance of normal eating.
7. What is the advantage of a longer family mealtime
A. Children can enjoy their meals better.
B. Children can have a good rest while eating.
C. Children can communicate more during the time.
D. Children can have more time to choose what they like.
8. What can be the best title of the text
A. Mealtime Talk Helps Lose Weight.
B. Poorer Families Have Thinner Kids.
C. Healthy Food Makes Normal Weight.
D. Longer Family Mealtime Helps Prevent Child Fatness.

When the moon passes between the Sun and the Earth，the resulting view of the Sun is called a solar eclipse(日食). Solar eclipses are beautiful astronomical events and many people across the world travel to faraway places to get a clear view of the phenomenon. 1 ________Others choose special eyewear.
It is believed that a pregnant woman with a baby should not view a solar eclipse. They are often told that their child will be badly formed if they view a solar eclipse. However, various scientific authorities have stated over and over again that there is no harm at all in viewing a solar eclipse with the right eye gear. 2
It is important, however, that you view a solar eclipse with the right eye gear. Staring right at the sun could permanently damage the eyes. It is wrong to assume that the sun can be looked at after the moon blocks out a majority of it. 3
If you want to view the eclipse, you have to get special glasses. As opposed to popular belief, sunglasses and dark films do NOT protect our eyes. 4 You can do this by fixing a telescope and focusing the image onto a sheet of paper. You can clearly see the eclipse on the sheet of paper. You should never look directly at the eclipse through the telescope.
Similarly, you can make a tiny hole on an opaque(不透明的) sheet of paper and let the light passing through fall on a sheet of paper. 5 Alternatively, you can watch it live on TV which is the safest way of viewing a solar eclipse!
A. It is best if you purchase eye wear.
B. So they need not worry to view a solar eclipse.
C. Viewing a solar eclipse directly is a strict no-no.
D. Some of them watch the event through special telescopes.
E. This method is an effective way to watch an eclipse as well.
F. To safely watch a solar eclipse, wear protective eclipse glasses.
G. The best way to see a solar eclipse is by viewing its projected image.

Kirsten Coates knows what it’s like to spend a lot of time mowing her lawn(修剪草坪).
So she made her lawn smaller to make way for 30 trees. The idea was to have more plants and animals around her house and to reduce harmful gases.
You don’t have to look far to find Australians who love taking care of their grass and enjoying the sensation of it under their feet. It’s a point of pride for many neighbourhoods, and some local governments even hold competitions for “best lawn”.
All the same, Ms Coates is not the only one trying to reduce the hold the lawn and the lawnmower have on our gardens and cultural life.
Community and local government group Gardens for Wildlife encourages landowners to reshape their land to better co-exist with native plants and animals.
Howard Bridgman, an honorary professor in environmental science at the University of Newcastle, says people like Ms Coates have the right idea. “Gas-driven lawnmowers contribute to the emission (排放) of pollutants, although the effect is relatively small. In recent times, electric mowers have become increasingly popular, greatly reducing emissions. However, it’s important to note that they can still create dust particles (尘粒) that may lead to breathing problems,” Howard said.
His advice is to reduce lawn size and use an electric mower — and not too often.
But for Suzie Shearer, director of Coolabah Turf in Echuca, the lawn is connected with healthy living.
“I cannot imagine living in a world without green space,” Suzie said. “Lawns are also a great way to get kids to spend less time on screens and more time outdoors.”
Even so, she has no regrets about the lawn she’s removed.
“My bird population has greatly increased. It has given me more chances to see birds and reduced the stress of keeping the lawn alive during dry periods. It’s a win-win situation,” she said.

Disagreements have arisen in Northern France after many ancient standing stones were damaged to make way for a new hardware chain (五金连锁店).
About 39 stones, dating back at least 7,000 years, were removed from the site, which sits on one of Europe’s most famous prehistoric attractions, Agence France-Presse (AFP) reported. “The site has been damaged,” local archaeologist Christian Obeltz told AFP.
Carnac, often described as “French Stonehenge”, is famous for its spreading fields of large tall stones. The stones are arranged in long, straight lines and, according to the Carnac Tourist Office, it is the largest collection of this type of standing stone in the world. The two main sites alone, at Menec and Kermario, house nearly 3,000 standing monuments (历史遗迹) covering over 4 miles.
The purpose of this ancient curiosity is still unknown. Many believe it may have had something to do with religion (宗教), while others think it could have served as a farming calendar. One idea even suggests that the stones are connected to a sad event that happened to a Roman army.
The Regional Office of Cultural Affairs for Brittany, which is responsible for protecting the cultural monument, made a statement on disagreements over building the store on Wednesday, “Given the uncertain and non-major character of the remains, damage to a site of historical value has not been established,” the statement said. However, Obeltz mentioned that there hasn’t been enough research in the area to decide whether the stones were historically important.
News of building the store has caused a storm of angry comments on social media, with many expressing their thoughts on the loss of the ancient stones. “Poor Carnac! The commodification (商品化) of the world prepares the man without memories,” said Philippe de Villiers, France’s former Secretary of State for Culture.
“In Carnac, 39 standing stone monuments survived Julius Caesar, World War I and World War II. But not Mr. DIY!” the Twitter account Dom Revolution wrote.

7. What may the Regional Office agree with

B. The site needs government protection.
C. The site is not very well-known.
D. The site has low historical value.
8. Why does the author mention opinions on the Internet
A. To share people’s last memories of Carnac.
B. To show public anger at Carnac’s situation.
