分析 英國(guó)國(guó)家旅游局發(fā)布了一份2012年倫敦奧運(yùn)會(huì)禮儀指南，用于指導(dǎo)民眾在奧運(yùn)期間與外國(guó)游客打交道時(shí)應(yīng)注意的禮儀．比如：遇到粗魯?shù)姆▏?guó)人別慌；別把加拿大人錯(cuò)當(dāng)成美國(guó)人．

解答 45．B 細(xì)節(jié)理解題．根據(jù)文章第二段的最后一句"The 2012 Olympics is likely to bring in an additional 2.1 billion pounds（ 3.3 billion） in tourism revenue（收入），according to a government estimate．2012奧運(yùn)會(huì)可能會(huì)帶來額外的21億英鎊（33億）旅游收入（收入），據(jù)政府估計(jì)．"可知答案選B．
46．C 推理判斷題．根據(jù)第一段的最后一句"Seeking to help the country's citizens offer a warmer welcome，Its VisitBritain has updated its advice for anyone likely to work with travelers arriving from overseas-from hotel staff to taxi drivers．為了幫助國(guó)家的公民提供一個(gè)更溫暖的歡迎，VisitBritain已經(jīng)更新了它可能與來自海外的旅行者一起工作的建議---從酒店員工到出租車司機(jī)．"可知：update"更新"，這個(gè)詞常用語網(wǎng)站信息的更新；故答案選C．
47．A 推理判斷題．根據(jù)第三段的第一句話"The etiquette tips were written by agency staff about their own native countries．禮儀提示是由機(jī)構(gòu)的職員寫的關(guān)于他們自己的國(guó)家的．"和下文的"Guests from China and Hong Kong may find winking or pointing with an index finger rud，the advice claims．"可知一定有中國(guó)人在英國(guó)國(guó)家旅游局工作；故答案選A．根據(jù)第三段的"Canadian tourists are likely to be quite annoyed about being mistaken for Americans加拿大游客很可能被誤解為美國(guó)人很惱火"可知B不正確．C選項(xiàng)說的是"2012倫敦奧運(yùn)會(huì)重在發(fā)展旅游業(yè)"，D項(xiàng)說的是"墨西哥和美國(guó)爆發(fā)了一場(chǎng)戰(zhàn)爭(zhēng)"，而文中講的是"英國(guó)國(guó)家旅游局發(fā)布了一份2012年倫敦奧運(yùn)會(huì)禮儀指南，用于指導(dǎo)民眾在奧運(yùn)期間與外國(guó)游客打交道時(shí)應(yīng)注意的禮儀"，所以可排除C和D．
48．D 推理判斷題．根據(jù)文中最后一段所列舉的波蘭游客，法國(guó)人，日本人，中國(guó)和香港的客人，加拿大游客和美國(guó)人的行為舉動(dòng)可知：第三段展示的禮儀提示是坦誠(chéng)的；故答案選D．

點(diǎn)評(píng) 社會(huì)文化類是英語閱讀中常見的題材，掌握該類的英語閱讀理解技巧十分重要．主旨大意題在歷史文化類文章中是常考的題型．解答這類試題的英語閱讀理解技巧：1．讀首句抓大意．文化教育類閱讀理解文章多采用說明文、議論文體裁，而這類文章大都采用文章段落的中心，即主題句在文章開頭．因此，要尋找這類文章的主旨大意就需要研究文章的首句． 2．讀尾句抓大意．有時(shí)這類文章的主題句安排在文章的結(jié)尾，作為對(duì)全篇的總結(jié)． 3．讀首段抓大意．有些文章或段落的開頭和結(jié)尾部分都有主題句．這種結(jié)構(gòu)是為了突出主題思想而使用兩次點(diǎn)題的寫作方法．這兩個(gè)主題句在句子結(jié)構(gòu)和用詞上有所不同，而且在內(nèi)容上前句和后句也不重復(fù)． 4．從段落中抓大意．有些文章或段落的主題句在文章中，這種文章或段落往往以一句話或幾句話引出要表達(dá)的主題，在主題句出現(xiàn)后，再舉例子陳述細(xì)節(jié)或繼續(xù)論證． 5．歸納要點(diǎn)抓大意．有些文章或段落無明顯的主題句，只是暗示性地體現(xiàn)主題．這就要求同學(xué)們?cè)陂喿x過程中根據(jù)文中所敘述的事實(shí)或線索來概括總結(jié)主旨大意．

18．A．Get adequate iron
B．Keep yourself hydrated．
C．Get enough calories
D．A little exercise goes a long way．
E．Eat a balanced，varied diet
F．Spread your calories throughout the day．

The Energy Diet
How can I lose weight when every time I go on a diet，I'm so exhausted that I can barely make it through the day？So goes the complaint of many men and women who are concerned about being overweight．What many people don't realize is that a healthful weight-loss plan can actually boost your energy．The key is to eat smart．And then combine this healthful diet with some physical activity．Here are six pointers to get you started．
61．C
Consume too few calories and you'll have less energy，and decrease the amount of calories burned．"That's because one of the ways the body protects itself from starvation is to slow down its metabolism，"explains Dr．Donald Hensrud，a nutrition professor at the Mayo Clinic，in Rochester，Minn．So how many calories do you need to feel energized while also slimming down？A healthful weight-loss rate is roughly one-and-a-half pounds per week，and the calorie intake to achieve this depends on your age，weight，and activity level．
62．E
The key to keeping your energy level up when you diet is to eat balanced meals that supply all the nutrients you need．"Vitamins and minerals act like spark plugs，"explains Kristine Clark，director of sports nutrition at Pennsylvania State University．"They help release the energy in nutrient-rich food．"Try to follow USDA guidelines．They call for 6 to 11 servings per day from the bread，cereal，rice，and pasta group； three to five servings of vegetables； two to four of fruits； two or three of milk or cheese； two or three of meat，fish，or eggs．Avoid fried and creamy dishes，and keep consumption of sweets and desserts to a minimum．
63．F
When you go for five to six hours without food，the amount of fuel in your system starts to run low，and you begin to feel tired．Therefore，says Kristine Clark，it's important to eat at regular intervals to keep your energy up．If you exercise，it's important to make sure you have"fuel in the tank"before you head for the gym．Avoid eating a large number of calories at one time，since it's harder to control your total calorie intake，making weight gain more likely．
64．A
About 10% of women of childbearing age in the United States are iron deficient．Iron is essential for energy and endurance because it is a vital component of red blood cells，which carry oxygen to working muscles．"Fatigue and listlessness can be directly associated with too little iron，"says Frances Berg，a licensed nutritionist in Hettinger，N．D．The best sources of iron are meat，poultry，and some fish．Other sources：fortified cereals，dried beans，dried fruits，and peas．
 65．D
"I don't have the energy to exercise!"say many dieters．Indeed，a 1998 survey，developed in part by the Center for Sports Medicine at Penn State，found that over 70% of respondents cited"too tired"or"lack of energy"as key reasons to skip exercising．Yet exercise is exactly what these people need．And，lastly，don't try to do too much too soon．Consider breaking your exercise into small units．Instead of trying to do 30 minutes in one chunk，accumulate exercise in short bouts （一場(chǎng)，一回）every day by mowing the lawn，walking to work，or climbing stairs instead of taking an elevator．It won't be long before you reap （收獲）the rewards．Imagine carrying a 15-pound sack of groceries around all day．Then think about how much more energy you'd have if you put that sack down．

8．Languages keeps developing，and English is no exception．It is a language that embraces new words that may be cool today bill gone tomorrow．
     There are，however，some words and phrases that have stood the test of time．OK．which has become the international standard for expressing agreement，is a good example．
     But why is this rather odd expression so popular and so useful when we could use any number of other words to say the same thing？-
     Writing in The Times，Alien Metcalf，author of OK：．The Improbable Story of America's Greatest Word，writes："What OK provided that the others did not was neutrality（中性），a way to express agreement without having to offer an opinion．"
     For example，if someone asks you"Shall we go for a walk after lunch？"you can simply respond"OK"．There you go-no extra opinions．Just straight，plain old OK．
     So just where did this rather curious expression come from？The origins of OK have been widely disputed．Some people have guessed that OK was the name of a person or a product．
     Speakers of many different languages have had their say on this question，keen to claim the term as their own．．
     Writing an article for London's Metro newspaper，Metcalf states；"0 arid K are present in every language of the world，as expressions that can be abbreviated（縮寫） OK．"For example； French-"o qu-oui"，"yes indeed"； German-"Ohne Korrektur"，"without correction needed"； and in Latin or Greek，"Olla kalla"．"all good"．
     But，does it sound a little too informal with this popular little expression？
     Apparently not．
     In a speech where he stated that his election would not be a radical （激進(jìn)的） result to all problems．President Obama said："…？even though I am president…，AI-Qaida is still a threat and that we cannot pretend somehow that because Barack Hussein Obama got elected as president，suddenly everything's going to be OK，"he said．
     So，there you go，straight from the president．It's OK to say OK，and thanks to the expression's widespread usage across the world，you can be understood anywhere．
41．What is the article mainly about？B
A．The origin of OK．
B．Popularity of OK across the world．
C．A debate over the usage of OK．
D．The development of the English language．
42．According to Alien Metcalf，OK differs from other terms to express agreement in thatC．
A．it is easiest to say
B．it is the most commonly used
C．it doesn't involve emotion           
D．it is the most informal and casual
43．The underlined word"disputed"in Paragraph 6 probably meansD，
A．understood       B．a(chǎn)greed       C．believed         D．a(chǎn)rgued
44．Using the example of Obama，the author intends to show thatA
A．OK is widely used even on formal occasions
B．Obama likes to use'OK when he speaks
C．there is still a long way to go to defeat AI-Qaida
D．the use of OK is encouraged in formal speech and in documents．
