III.阅读理解(共10小题,共20分)
A
My husband hates going to the gym in January. Not because he doesn’t want to take exercise after the Christmas break, but because of the amount of new people there. Without fail, every January brings eager new gym members filled with excitement over their New Year’s resolution(决定): Join a gym.
His frustration(沮丧)is short-lived though; within a matter of weeks only a few new comers are still there. In fact, research suggests that only about 8%of them remain. That’s the amount of the 40%of people who set resolutions who actually keep them.
Why is it so hard to keep New Year resolutions I believe it is because we make them difficult to keep. They’re too specific. Look at the resolution: join a gym. What’s the problem with it Maybe your schedule makes it difficult to get to the gym regularly or you don’t like the atmosphere. It’s all too easy to fail at goal-setting when you focus on a specific goal.
So what do you do instead This year, I want you to focus on feelings and experiences instead of goals. Why do you sign up for a gym membership Because you want to feel healthy, get fit and feel energized. There are lots of ways besides the gym to get these results: eating better, walking more, taking a dance class. If you don’t like one thing, move onto the next. You need not feel like you failed because you are still looking for the feeling.
By focusing on feelings you stay open to opportunities around you. Instead of blindly following only one way that may or may not work, you can explore a variety of options. This year, instead of a list of resolutions, make a list of things you want to feel and experience. You can’t fail.
36. The author’s husband hates going to the gym in January because .
A. he is too busy to take exercise
B. he doesn't want to take exercise
C. he is too tired after Christmas
D. the gym becomes too crowded
37. What can we learn from the second paragraph
A. The gym was short-lived because only 8%of the members remain.
B. About 40%of the people who set resolutions actually keep them.
C. About 92%of the new gym members never come again after some time.
D. Research shows that most people set resolutions in the New Year.
38. Which of the following is the writer most likely to agree with
A. Resolutions are difficult to keep.
B. We’d better not make goals too specific.
C. The gym is the best choice to keep healthy.
D. We should focus on goals instead of feelings.
39. The underlined word “options” in the last paragraph is closest in meaning to .
A. choices B. exercises C. feelings D. gyms
40. What is the author’s purpose in writing the passage
A. To tell us her husband hates going to the gym in January.
B. To encourage readers to sign up for a gym membership.
C. To tell readers many people fail to keep their resolutions.
D. To offer readers advice on how to set goals successfully.
B
When animals and plants use color to be noticed, it is called advertising coloration(着色). Advertising coloration can be used to either warn or attract animals.
The bright colors of flowers and berries are advertising coloration that attracts animals. Flowers need to be pollinated (授粉) to reproduce. Bees and hummingbirds(蜂鸟) are attracted to bright colors and will pollinate the flowers. Some pollinated plants will produce berries. These berries will turn a bright color when they are ripe(熟的). The bright color lets berry-eating birds know the fruit is sweet and safe to eat. After birds eat the berries, the seeds will pass through their digestive system(消化系统) and be left behind. Some of the seeds left behind will grow into new plants!
Color is also used to attract mates(配偶). Many male birds like the northern cardinal(主红雀) are brightly colored to attract females. Bright feathers can be a sign of how healthy the bird is! Female birds are naturally attracted to healthier males because their offspring(后代) will be healthier. Female birds are often less colorful. This helps hide them when they are nesting.
Advertising coloration is also used to warn animals away. The ladybug(瓢虫) has bright orange wings with black spots. Its coloring warns meat-eating animals that the ladybug tastes awful. The striped skunk(带条纹的臭鼬) has white stripes that are a warning to meat-eating animals that they may be in for an unpleasant surprise if they try to attack.
Some animals, like the red-eyed tree frog, may scare enemies away with their color. Red-eyed tree frogs sleep during the day. If a meat-eating animal comes up to them and they open their eyes, the bright red color of their eyes might shock the animal long enough to give the red-eyed tree frog time to hop away to safety.
41. The best title for the passage would be .
A. Advertising Coloration B. Animal Colors
C. Plant Colors D. Interesting Colors
42. Which function of advertising coloration does the 2nd paragraph mainly explain
A. Warning animals B. Attracting animals
C. Attracting mates D. Reproducing
43. Which of the following is the correct order of the events according to Paragraph 2
a. Birds eat the berries.
b. Seeds grow into new plants.
c. Some plants produce berries.
d. Bees pollinate the flowers.
e. These berries turn a bright color.
f. The flowers have bright colors.
A. a→ b→ f→ e→ d→ c B. e→ c→ a→ b→ f→ d
C. f→ d→ c→ e→ a→ b D. b→ e→ a→ c→ f→ d
44. Female birds decide whether a male bird is healthy according to .
A. whether it is big in size B. whether it fights its enemy bravely
C. whether it has healthier offspring D. whether it has bright colored feathers
45. Which of the following is true
A. Female northern cardinals have more colorful feathers than males.
B. Red-eyed tree frogs sleep during the day with their eyes open.
C. If a meat-eating animal happens to eat a ladybug, it will be poisoned to death.
D. All the animals named in the last two paragraphs protect themselves with their colors.
