7.The federal school lunch program for 30 million low-income children was created more than half a century ago to combat malnutrition(營養(yǎng)不良).A breakfast program was added during the 1960s,and both attempted to improve the nutritional value of food served at school.
More must be done to fight the childhood obesity(肥胖) epidemic,which has caused a frightening peak in weight-related disorders like diabetes,high-blood pressure and heart disease among young people.The place to start is schools,where junk food sold outside the federal meals program-through snack bars and vending machines-has pretty much canceled out the benefits of all those efforts.
Federal rules that govern the sales of these harmful foods at school are limited and have not been updated for nearly 40 years.Until new regulations are written,children who are served healthy meals in the school cafeteria will continue to buy candy drinks and high sodium(鈉) snacks elsewhere in school.
Many states'school districts have taken positive steps,but others are likely to resist,especially districts that sell junk food to finance athletic program extracurricular activities,and even copier expenses.
Those districts should take note of a study released in 2009 in West Virginia showing that the budgetary costs of switching from sodas to healthy drinks such as fruit juice,milk,and water were very little.Even if the switch costs money,so be it.The school should not be trading their students'health to buy office supplies.
Over the last five decades,the obesity rates for adolescents have tripled.Unless there is decisive action,weight and inactivity-related disorders will bother a steady larger proportion of the work force and replace smoking as the leading cause of premature death.

32.According to this passage,Bare to blame for the childhood obesity.
   A.weight-related disorders               B.high calorie snacks
   C.parents'bad habits                    D.unhealthy lunches and breakfast
33.Which is the main idea of Paragraph 3?B
   A.Federal governments deserve high praise for their school lunch program.
   B.New regulations are badly in need of updating.
   C.Children should be forbidden to buy snacks in school.
   D.Federal rules encourage snacks outside the school program.
34.The passage is concerned mainly withC.
   A.Malnutrition in low-income children
   B.The federal school lunch program
   C.obesity at school
   D.the nutritional value of food served at school
35.The tone of this passage isA.
   A.negative          B.indifferent          C.optimistic         D.ironic.

分析 本文屬于說明文閱讀,作者通過這篇文章向我們敘述了開始于學校的兒童肥胖疫情,已在體重相關的疾病如糖尿病引起的可怕的高峰,雖然許多政府學校已采取積極措施,但可能受到阻礙,改善兒童肥胖疫情的前景并不樂觀.

解答 32.B.細節(jié)理解題.根據(jù)文章第三段"children who are served healthy meals in the school cafeteria will continue to buy candy drinks and high sodium(鈉) snacks elsewhere in school",他在學校的自助餐廳提供健康食物的孩子會繼續(xù)在學校其他地方買糖果飲料和高鈉小吃;可知兒童肥胖癥是由于高卡路里零食;故選B.
33.B.推理判斷題.根據(jù)文章第三段"Federal rules that govern the sales of these harmful foods at school are limited and have not been updated for nearly 40 years",聯(lián)邦規(guī)則里關于這些有害食品在學校的銷售是有限的,但是沒有更新已近40年;可推測新的規(guī)章制度急需更新;故選B.
34.C.主旨大意題.通讀全文,可知文章主要在描述開始于學校的兒童肥胖疫情,講述了引起病癥的原因和改善的方法以及并不樂觀的未來前景;故選C.
35.A.推理判斷題.根據(jù)文章最后一段"Unless there is decisive action,weight and inactivity-related disorders will bother a steady larger proportion of the work force and replace smoking as the leading cause of premature death",除非有決定性的行動,體重和不活動引起的疾病將困擾一個穩(wěn)定的更大比例的工作力量,并取代吸煙作為過早死亡的主要原因;可推測作者的態(tài)度是消極的;故選A.

點評 考察學生的細節(jié)理解和推理判斷能力,做細節(jié)理解題時一定要找到文章中的原句,和題干進行比較,再做出正確的選擇.在做推理判斷題不要以個人的主觀想象代替文章的事實,要根據(jù)文章事實進行合乎邏輯的推理判斷.

12.TV advertisements often tell people to drink more.Drink makers are using some famous sportsmen to support their so-called power and energy drinks,claiming they are all needed.(36)D
Water is essential for human health.However,when you neglect your sense of thirst and manage to take in several glasses of water a day just because you have been told that doing so is good for your health,you actually put unnecessary burdens on your body in two major ways.(37)F Since your blood volume exists within a closed system,increasing your blood volume on a regular basis puts unnecessary burden on your heart and blood vessels.Drowning your system with more water is one of many potential causes of inner damage.Your kidneys will have to work overtime,and they must separate extra water out of your circulatory system.(38)A
The information is particularly important for parents to pass on to their children.So how much water should you drink to best support your health?Some people suggest that you should pay more attention to your diet.It is practicable to get water from liquids or whole foods that are rich in it when you do find yourself in need of water.(39)C If you do not use much or any salt,your need for drinking water goes down even further.
The best guidance I can provide on this issue is to follow your sense of thirst.(40)B They can almost always realize that they are indeed thirsty,if you ask such people if they are thirsty and would like a piece of fruit or a glass of water.Please share this article with family and friends,as many people are regularly misinformed on this topic by mainstream media.

A.If not,your health will be in bad condition.
B.Most people are easy to ignore a dry mouth.
C.By doing so,you may not need to drink much water at all.
D.They then go on to claim these drinks are better for you than water.
E.They help you prevent kidney damage and increase concentration levels.
F.Taking in more water than you need can increase your total blood volume.
G.They will believe that thirst is not a reliable indicator of how much water they need.

2.We all dream of living a long,happy life,but where are the happiest places in the world?
A new map of 151countries has revealed exactly which parts of the globe deliver long and happy lives for their citizens.The results may surprise you,with Costa Rica,Colombia and Vietnam topping the league.The UK features at position 44-higher than Germany (47),Spain (62),Canada (65),Australia (76)and the US (105).
The map was made by the relocation website Movehub,using data from the latest Happy Planet Index (HPI)-a global measure of sustainable wellbeing(可持續(xù)幸福).
The HPI measures life expectancy(平均壽命),the level of well-being experienced and ecological(生態(tài)的) footprint.Each of the three aspects is given a traffic-light score based on thresholds for good (green),middling (amber) and bad (red) performance.These scores are combined to an expanded six-color traffic light for the overall HPI score,where,to achieve bright green-the best of the six colors,a country would have to perform well on all three individual components.
Experienced well-being:This was assessed using a question called the‘Ladder of Life'. This asks respondents to imagine a ladder,where 0represents the worst possible life and 10the best possible life,and report the step of the ladder they feel they currently stand on.
Life expectancy:Alongside experienced well-being,the Happy Planet Index includes a universally important measure of health-life expectancy.We used life expectancy data from the 2011UNDP Human Development Report.
Ecological Footprint:The HPI uses the Ecological Footprint promoted by the environmental charity WWF as a measure of resource consumption.It is a per capita(人均) measure of the amount of land required to sustain a country's consumption pattern.
Two of the three main factors are directly about happiness.The third (Ecological footprint) is regarded as sustainable happiness.i.e.whether a country could sustain its citizens without any outside help.The idea is that if there was an incident which cut a country completely off from the outside world,or a country had to be completely self-sufficient,most of the developed world would be unable to do that.
The reason for some high-income nations to score significantly below other nations is the ecological footprint left on the planet.Mexicans and Canadians both appear to be happier than their US neighbor-most likely due to the country's ecological footprint.
74.According to the passage,the happiest places in the world are countriesA.
A.which deliver long,happy and sustainable lives for the people
B.which offer good medical care to help people live longer
C.which are wealthy enough to provide free social services
D.whose citizens are leading a happy and luxurious life
75.If a country whose traffic-light score of the experienced well-being is red,it means thatC.
A.people there are happy with their present situation
B.people's previous life was much better
C.people are not very satisfied with their life
D.most people choose to be on the top of the ladder
76.What do the two underlined words"This"refer toB?
A.Experienced well-being; A real ladder.
B.Experienced well-being; The question.
C.The Happy Planet Index (HPI);The"Ladder of Life".
D.The individual component; The researcher.
77.If the U.S.footprint per capita is 9.0gha(全球公頃),while that of Switzerland is 5.6gha,we can conclude thatD.
A.people in the U.S.are happier than those in Switzerland
B.the U.S is less dependent on outside help than Switzerland
C.the land in U.S.is more productive than that in Switzerland
D.people in U.S.consume more natural resources than those in Switzerland.

16.The defeat of Lee Sedol,the world's strongest Go (圍棋) player,by a Google artificial intelligence (AI) program,looks like another milestone towards a world where computers can do almost anything a human can.It is not.There are uncountable things that only a human can do,and that no computer seems close to.The problem is that the purely human things are not economically useful to anyone.The things that computers can be taught to do are by contrast economically fantastic.But even the most powerful programs are not human,just as a shovel (鏟車).They have no feelings.What they have is power,but this power is growing at a rate that should frighten us a ll.
It might be less frightening if computers were truly intelligent,but even the most powerful networks are less human than monstrous Martians (火星人).Their power will be used to make money for the firms that finance their development,and then for others quick and clever enough to take advantage of the new world.It is far more likely that they will increase inequality and still further remove the middle classes as we move towards an hourglass (以金錢來衡量的) society in which everyone is either very rich or very poor and likely indebted.
One of the ill effects of the spread of more intelligent computer networks is,at the same time,the spread of what might be called artificial stupidity.If AI is employed largely to replace unskilled labour,it is most productive when labour is kept unskilled or redefined that way.So much of the work in service industries is now simplified until it might be automated (自動化).And robots will never need pensions.AI is slowly reducing skilled work,like some forms of medical diagnosis (診斷),at the same time,as older doctors complain that the traditional human skills of diagnosis are falling out of medical training.The belief that everything worthwhile can be measured and then managed is far more damaging to humanity than the threat of artificial intelligence on its own.
But no victory in complicated Go games can bring us closer to truly human-like computers.
62.By mentioning the defeat of Lee Sedol,the author intends to tell us thatC.
A.comput ers can completely replace humans in everything
B.humans are of no practical economic values to the society
C.the power of computers is growing at a frightening rate
D.AI programs can not compare with humans economically  
63.We can learn from Paragraph 2 that the power of computers willD.
A.improve the quality of human life
B.promote equality at work places
C.make contributions to human development
D.widen the gap between the rich and the poor
64.What does"artificial stupidity"in Paragragh 3 mean?B
A.Unskilled workers become stupid.
B.AI discourages skilled work.
C.Computers don't need pensions.
D.AI is ruining medical training.
65.What is the author's attitude towards the future of artificial intelligence?C
A.Optimistic.B.Supportive.C.Sceptical.D.Cautious.
