【題目】根據(jù)短文內(nèi)容,從短文后的選項中選出能填入空白處的最佳選項。選項中有兩項為多余選項。
Evaluating Sources (來源) of health Information
Making good choices about your own health requires reasonable evaluation. A key first step in bettering your evaluation ability is to look carefully at your sources of healthy information. Reasonable evaluation includes knowing where and how to find relevant information, how to separate fact from opinions, how to recognize poor reasoning, and how to analyze information and the reliability of sources.
Go to the original source. Media reports often simplify the results of medical research. Find out for yourself what a study really reported, and determine whether it was based on good science. Think about the type of study.
Watch for misleading language. Some studies will find that a behavior "contributes to" or is "associated with" an outcome; this does not mean that a certain course must lead to a certain result. Carefully read or listen to information in order to fully understand it.
Use your common sense. If a report seems too good to be true, probably it is. Be especially careful of information contained in advertisements. Evaluate "scientific" statements carefully, and be aware of quackery(江湖騙術(shù)).
Friends and family members can be a great source of ideas and inspiration, but each of us needs to find a healthy lifestyle that works for us.
Developing the ability to evaluate reasonably and independently about the health problems will serve you well throughout your life.
A. Make choices that are right for you.
B. The goal of an ad is to sell you something.
C. Be sure to work through the critical questions.
D. And examine the findings of the original research.
E. Distinguish between research reports and public health advice.
F. Be aware that information may also be incorrectly explained by an author's point of view.
G. The following suggestions can help you sort through the health information you receive from common sources.

【答案】G;D;F;B;A
【解析】文章針對如何對來自各種渠道的健康信息進行分類整理和判斷給出了一些建議。

① 考查對上下文的理解和推理判斷能力。第一段簡要提出我們要學(xué)會分析來自各種渠道的健康信息,下文接著就如何對這些信息進行分類整理給予一些建議。G項連接前后,故選G。

② 考查對上下文的理解和推理判斷能力。根據(jù)該段主題句的第一句Go to the original source.(去探尋最初的來源。)可知,本段都是圍繞這個話題展開的,D項中的the original research與主題句相照應(yīng),符合本段意思。故選D。

③ 考查對上下文的理解和推理判斷能力。F項與第三段的主題句Watch for misleading language.相關(guān),其中incorrectly explained與misleading相照應(yīng)。故選F。

④ 考查對上下文的理解和推理判斷能力。由空格前的Be especially careful of information contained in advertisements.(對廣告中所包含的信息一定要特別當心)及該段中的be aware of quackery (警惕江湖騙術(shù))可知,B項(廣告的目的是賣出商品)符合該段語境。為了達到這個目的,商品的廣告中可能包含虛假信息。故選B。

⑤ 考查對上下文的理解和推理判斷能力。由該段中but each of us needs to find a healthy lifestyle that works for us可知,盡管我們有來自家人及朋友的大量信息,但歸根結(jié)底還是要依靠我們自己來作出正確的選擇。A項概括全段內(nèi)容,故選A。

【題目】根據(jù)短文理解,選擇正確答案。
When I was a kid, I used to spend hours listening to Adam Carolla and Dr. Drew Pinsky on their Sunday night radio show Loveline. I listened so often that I began to use one of their well-known phrases—“good times”—in my daily conversations. Scientists have a name for this phenomenon: behavioral mimicry.
You've probably experienced this before: after spending enough time with another person, you might start to pick up on his or her behavior or speech habits. You might even start to develop your friend's habits without realizing it. There is a large body of literature concerning this sort of phenomenon, and it regularly happens for everything from body gesture to accents to drink patterns (模式). For example, one study found that young adults were more likely to drink their drink directly after their same-sex drinking partners, than for the two individuals to drink at their own paces.
And the effect isn't limited to real-life face-to-face activities. Another study found that the same you-drink-then-I-drink pattern held even when watching a movie! In other words, people were more likely to take a drink of their drinks in a theater after watching the actors on the screen enjoy a drink. At least I don't feel so strange anymore, having picked up on Adam Carolla's “good times”.
New research published today in the journal PLOS ONE indicates that the same sort of behavioral mimicry is responsible for social eating, at least among university-age women of normal weight. That's right: the young women were more likely to adjust their eating according to the eating pace of their same-sex dining companion.
As with most experiments, these results raise a whole new set of questions. However, the finding that behavioral mimicry may at least partly explain eating behavior is important, and has real effects on health. The researchers note that “as long as people don't fully recognize such important influences on intake (eating), it will be difficult to make healthy food choices and keep a healthy diet, especially when people are exposed to the eating behavior of others”.
(1)The author takes his own example of using “good times” to _______.
A.express his love for radio shows
B.prove the popularity of the show
C.show the influence of the hosts' words
D.introduce the topic of the passage
(2)Which of the following is NOT an example of behavioral mimicry?
A.A boy eats his popcorn after watching the actor eat.
B.A boy buys a Nike shirt when he finds his desk-mate has one.
C.A girl unconsciously sits straight just as others do.
D.A girl takes on the Yorkshire accent after a month's stay.
(3)It can be inferred from the last paragraph that _______.
A.behavioral mimicry is beneficial to our health
B.behavioral mimicry decides our eating behavior
C.people have realized the effect of behavioral mimicry on our health
D.it's impossible to keep a healthy diet without knowing behavioral mimicry
(4)What is probably the author's purpose of writing this passage?
A.To draw readers' attention to popular radio shows.
B.To introduce behavioral mimicry and its influence.
C.To appeal to readers not to fall into others' habits.
D.To advocate healthy food choices among readers.

【題目】根據(jù)短文理解,選擇正確答案。
We do not know when man first began to use salt, but we do know that it has been used in many different ways throughout history. Historical evidence shows, for example, that people who lived over 3,000 years ago ate salted fish. Thousands of years ago in Egypt, salt was used to preserve (保存) the dead.
Stealing salt was considered a major crime (罪行) during some periods of history. In the eighteenth century, for example, if a person was caught stealing salt, he could be put in prison and his ears could be cut off.
In the Roman Empire, one of the most important roads was the one that carried salt from the salt mines to Rome. Guards were stationed(安置) along the route to protect against salt thieves, and they received their pay in salt, thus bringing the English word, salary. Any guard who fell asleep while on duty was thought to be “not worth his salt”, and as a result he would get a little less salt on his next payday. The expression, “not worth his salt”, is still used today in English.
In the modern world salt has many uses beyond the dining table. It is used in making glass and airplane parts, in the growing of crops, and in the killing of weeds (雜草). It is also used to make water soft, to melt (融化) ice on roads and highways, to make soap, and to fix colors in cloth.
Salt can be got in various ways besides being taken from mines underground. Salt water from the ocean, salt water lakes or small seas can be used to make salt. Yet, no matter where it comes from, salt will continue to play an important role in the lives of people everywhere.
(1)According to the text, salt can be used in the following EXCEPT _____.
A.keeping dead bodies
B.punishing thieves
C.protecting crops
D.making industrial products
(2)In the Roman Empire many people were employed as guards to _____.
A.protect the city of Rome
B.watch people carrying salt
C.prevent thieves from stealing salt
D.carry salt from the mines to Rome
(3)The expression “not worth his salt” used today refers to the one who _____.
A.fails to do his work well
B.should not be paid in salt
C.doesn't want to work at all
D.should use less salt
(4)The main purpose of the text is to tell readers _____.
A.how salt was found and got
B.salt is important in people's life

【題目】根據(jù)短文內(nèi)容的理解,選擇正確答案。 Papa, as a son of a dirt-poor farmer, left school early and went to work in a factory, for education was for the rich then. So, the world became his school. With great interest, he read everything he could lay his hands on, listened to the town elders and learned about the world beyond his tiny hometown. "There's so much to learn," he'd say. "Though we're born stupid, only the stupid remain that way. "He was determined that none of his children would be denied (拒絕) an education.
Thus, Papa insisted that we learn at least one new thing each day. Though, as children, we thought this was crazy, it would never have occurred to us to deny Papa a request. And dinner time seemed perfect for sharing what we had learned. We would talk about the news of the day; no matter how insignificant, it was never taken lightly. Papa would listen carefully and was ready with some comment, always to the point.
Then came the moment—the time to share the day's new learning.
Papa, at the head of the table, would push back his chair and pour a glass of red wine, ready to listen.
"Felice," he'd say, "tell me what you learned today."
"I learned that the population of Nepal is ...."
Silence.
Papa was thinking about what was said, as if the salvation of the world would depend upon it. "The population of Nepal. Hmm. Well……" he'd say. "Get the map; let's see where Nepal is." And the whole family went on a search for Nepal.
This same experience was repeated until each family member had a turn. Dinner ended only after we had a clear understanding of at least half a dozen such facts.
As children, we thought very little about these educational wonders. Our family, however, was growing together, sharing experiences and participating in one another's education. And by looking at us, listening to us, respecting our input, affirming our value, giving us a sense of dignity, Papa was unquestionably our most influential teacher.
Later during my training as a future teacher I studied with some of the most famous educators. They were imparting what Papa had known all along—the value of continual learning. His technique has served me well all my life. Not a single day has been wasted, though I can never tell when knowing the population of Nepal might prove useful.
(1)What do we know from the first paragraph?
A.The author's father was born in a worker's family.
B.Those born stupid could not change their life.
