1. About how many adult Americans have the "weight problem"? __________________________ percent.
Thirty
[解析] 11-15 In the U. S. A, thirty percent of the adult population has a weight problem. To many people, the cause is obvious--they eat too much. But scientific evidence does not support this idea. Going back to the America of 1910, we find the people were thinner than today. Yet they ate more food. In those days, people worked harder physically, walked more, used machines much less, and did not watch television. Several modem studies have shown that fatter people do not eat more than thinner people. In fact, some investigations report that the fat people eat less than thinner people. Recently, a study of research group found the following interesting fact--thinner people are more active than fatter people. Therefore, those who exercise regularly can eat more and still lose a large amount of body fat. 11. About how many adult Americans have the "weight problem"?

Then you should mark the corresponding letter on the Answer Sheet with a single line through the center.

1. I've heard that the musical group will set off for Hong Kong to give a three-day ( perform ) ________.
Part Ⅲ Reading Comprehension Directions: This part is to test your reading ability. There are 5 tasks for you to fulfill. You should read the reading materials carefully and do the tasks ns you are instructed.
Task 1 Do you know how to use a mobile phone (手机) without being rude to the people around you? Talking during a performance irritates (激怒) people. If you are expecting an emergency call, sit near the exit doors and set your phone to vibrate (振动). When your mobile phone vibrates, you can leave quietly and let the others enjoy the performance. Think twice before using mobile phones in elevators, museums, churches or other indoor public places—especially enclosed spaces. Would you want to listen to someone's conversation in these places? Worse yet, how would you feel if a mobile phone rang suddenly during a funeral! It happens more often than you think. Avoid these embarrassing situations by making sure your mobile phone is switched off. When eating at a restaurant with friends, don't place your mobile phone on the table. This conveys the message that your phone calls are more important than those around you. Mobile phones have sensitive microphones that allow you to speak at the volume you would on a regular phone. This enables you to speak quietly so that others won't hear the details of your conversations. If you are calling from a noisy area, use your hand to direct your voice into the microphone. Many people believe that they can't live without their mobile phone. Owning a mobile phone definitely makes life more convenient, but limit your conversations to urgent ones and save the personal calls until you are at home.
1. What should you do when you need to answer a phone call during a performance?
A.Call back after the performance.
B.Answer it near the exit door.
C.Talk outside the exit door.
D.Speak in a low voice.
A B C D
C
事实细节题。文章第二段末句说 When your mobile phone vibrates,you can leave quietly and let the others enjoy the performance.(当电话振动时,你可以悄悄地离开,让其他人继续欣赏节目。)可见,在观看演出时,如果必须接电话,最好离开演出现场到外面接听,因此选C)。 [避错指导] 因为题干中提到need to answer,所以“演出结束后回电话”便为时已晚,因此A)不符合题意;B)“在靠近出口的地方接听”,“靠近出口”还是在演出现场,与原文不符;D)“低声接听电话”同样会影响周围观众观看演出,与原文不符。
2. Putting your mobile phone on a restaurant table may make your friends think
A.you prefer to talk to your friends at the table
B.you value your calls more than your friends
C.you are enjoying the company of your friends
D.you are polite and considerate of your friends
A B C D
B
事实细节题。文章第四段第二句说This conveys the message that your phone calls are more important than those around you.(这样做就表示你的电话比在座的各位都重要。)这与B)的意思一致。 [避错指导] A)“你喜欢和朋友在就餐时谈话”与手机无关,可以排除;C)“你对朋友的陪伴备感高兴”,文章没有提及;D)“你对朋友礼貌和体谅朋友”与事实相反。
3. When you are calling in a noisy area, you are advised to ________.
A.use a more sensitive microphone
B.shout loudly into your microphone
C.go away quietly to continue the phone call
D.use your hand to help speak into the phone
A B C D
D
事实细节题。文章第五段末句说If you are calling from a noisy area,use your hand to direct your voice into the microphone.(如果在嘈杂环境中接听电话,要用你的手掩住话筒外侧,这样会使你的声音更集中。) 这与D)的意思一致。 [避错指导] A)“使用更灵敏的话筒”、B)“对着话筒大声说话”、C)“悄悄离开,换个地方接电话”文中均未提及。
4. The author implies that the use of mobile phones in such places as museums should be ________.
A.limited
B.expected
C.discouraged
D.recommended
A B C D
A
观点态度题。文章第三段首句说Think twice before using mobile phones in elevators,museums,churches or other indoor public places—especially enclosed spaces.(在电梯、博物馆、教堂或者其他室内公共场所,特别是密闭环境下使用手机应该三思而后行。)可见,作者的意思是:在像博物馆这样的环境中,接打手机不能毫无顾忌,应有所限制,即A)limited。 [避错指导] B)“许可”、C)“反对”、D)“推荐使用”语气都过于绝对,与题意无法契合。
5. Which of the following is TRUE according to the passage?
A.You should limit your mobile phone calls to personal affairs.
B.You should speak quietly into your phone while in a church.
C.You are supposed to turn off your mobile phone at a funeral.
D.You are supposed to use your mobile phone as much as possible.
A B C D
C
事实细节题。文章第三段第三句说Worse yet,how would you feel if a mobile phone rang suddenly during a funeral!接下来在末句说:要想避免类似的尴尬局面,就要making sure your mobile phone is switched off.(确保你的手机是关闭的),这里的switched off与C)中的turn off同义。 [避错指导] A)“只能用手机来谈论私事”与原文不符;文中只说在教堂打手机应该有所限制,并没有说应该speak quietly,故排除B);D)“尽可能多使用手机”原文并未提及。
Task 2 When a rare disease ALD threatened to kill the four-year-old boy Lorenzo, his parents refused to give up hope. Doctors explained that there was no cure for ALD, and that he would probably die within three years. But Lorenzo's parents set out to prove the doctors wrong. The parents devoted themselves to keeping their son alive and searching for a cure. But doctors and the families of other ALD patients often refused to take them seriously. They thought the efforts to find a cure were a waste of time, and drug companies weren't interested in supporting research into such a rare disease. However, the parents still refused to give up and spent every available hour in medical libraries and talking to anyone who would help. Through trial and error (反复实验), they finally created a cure from ingredients (调料) commonly found in the kitchen. The cure, named" Lorenzo's Oil", saved the boy's life. Despite the good results, scientists and doctors remained unconvinced. They said there was no real evidence that the oil worked and that the treatment was just a theory. As a result, some families with ALD children were reluctant to try it. Finally, the boy's father organized an international study to test the oil. After ten years of trials, the answer is: the oil keeps ALD children healthy.
1. Doctors said that Lorenzo might die within three years because ________.
A.they had never treated the disease before
B.Lorenzo was too young to be, cured
C.no cure had been found for ALD
D.ALD was a rare disease
A B C D
C
事实细节题。文章首段第二句Doctors explained that there was no cure for ALD,and that he would probably die within three years.(医生解释说当前还没有治疗ALD的药,因此他很可能在3年内死亡。)因此选C)。 [避错指导] A)“医生们以前没有治疗过这种疾病”、B)“洛伦佐还太小,所以无法接受治疗”、D)“ALD是一种罕见的疾病”均不是医生们判定洛伦佐只能活3年的根本依据。
2. The families of other ALD patients thought that ________.
A.the research for the new cure would cost too much money
B.the efforts of Lorenzo's parents were a waste of time
C.Lorenzo's parents would succeed in finding a cure
D.Lorenzo's oil was a real cure for ALD
A B C D
B
事实细节题。文章第二段末句说They thought the efforts to find a cure were a waste of time…(他们认为寻找治疗ALD的方法只是在浪费时间…)因此选B)。 [避错指导] A)“新方法的研制将耗资巨大”,文章没有提及;C)“洛伦佐的父母最终会找到治疗的方法”,并非其他ALD患者家属的看法;因为当时Lorenzo's oil 还未被发现,所以说它“是一种真正能治疗ALD的药物”还为时过早,故排除D)。
3. Scientists and doctors believed that Lorenzo's Oil ________.
A.was really effective
B.was a success story
C.only worked in theory
D.would save the boy's life
A B C D
C
事实细节题。文章第三段倒数第二句说They said there was no real evidence that the oil worked and that the treatment was just a theory.(他们说没有确凿的证据证明Lorenzo's oil 对这种疾病有疗效,这仅是理论上的治疗方法。)因此选C)。 [避错指导] A)“很有效果”、B)“是一个成功的案例”、D)“将会挽救男孩的生命”与文意不符,均非科学家和医生们的观点。
4. Lorenzo's father organized an international study to ________.
A.test Lorenzo's Oil
B.get financial support
C.find a cure for the disease
D.introduce the cure worldwide
A B C D
A
事实细节题。文章末段首句说the boy's father organized an international study to test the oil .(孩子的父亲组织了一个科研小组来检测这种药的疗效。)这种药即指Lorenzo's oil,因此选A)。 [避错指导] B)“获得资金上的支持”、C)“找治疗疾病的方法”、D)“把这种药物推广到全世界”文中均未提及。
5. From the passage we can conclude that ________
A.doctors remain doubtful of the effectiveness of the cure
B.many ALD patients still refuse to use the oil
C.various cures have been found for ALD
D.the oil really works as a cure for ALD
A B C D
D
事实细节题。文章末句说After ten years of trials,the answer is the oil keeps ALD children healthy.(长达10年的试验最终证明:这种药物能使ALD病患儿童恢复健康。)可见这种药物对ALD具有治愈效果。 [避错指导] A)“医生们仍旧对该药物的效果持怀疑态度”只是片面观点,不是最终结论;文中第三段未句所说的reluctant意为“不情愿”,并非“拒绝”,因此排除B)“很多患者拒绝使用这种药物”;C)“各种ALD的治疗方法均已找到”文中没有提及。

Task 5 The Singapore underground train system, known as the MRT, offers a speedy and easy way to get about our city. You'll need small change to buy an individual ticket. Alternatively, buy a special ticket designed with the tourist in mind. Costing $6 ,it offers $5.50 worth of rides; the extra 50 cents is for keeping the ticket as a souvenir (纪念品). Tourist tickets feature one of three designs: the Chinese Gardens, the Victoria Memorial Hall or a night skyline of Singapore. You gain entry to the trains by inserting your ticket into the barrier machine (检票闸机). Wait for the ticket to reappear and put it away safely: you'll need it again. After your trip, you insert your ticket into the barrier in order to leave. Please note that each ticket is time coded on entry, and you are advised not to spend more than half an hour in addition to travel time, because tickets can expire (失效). Moving stairs that take you to the platform and train destinations are marked clearly. Trains run frequently. Do remember, eating and drinking are forbidden in MRT stations and trains.
