题型:不详难度:来源:
Extremely large portions are one possible reason Americans continue getting fatter even as the percentage of our total calories from fat has gone down in recent years. Fortunately, portions are relatively simple to control because it"s easier to count cookies than calories or grams of fat.
Pre-picture portions. Use familiar objects to picture how much you should eat of a food before you pick up your fork or spoon. For example, a half cup of low-fat granola is about the size of your fist. A half cup of low-fat ice cream equals half an orange.
Use a smaller dish. This tip might sound ridiculous, but it works. First and most obvious is that you can"t put as much food on, say, a salad plate. But psychologically, you"re just not as prone to eat as heartily and quickly if your plate will be empty in 45 seconds.
Have raw vegetables at every meal. Raw cucumbers, tomatoes, carrots, and peppers have few calories and lots of nutrients. A plate of them in the middle of the table almost always gets eaten up, cutting down appetite for the more calorie-dense meat.
Start your meal with soup. Studies show that a bowl of soup at the start of the meal reduces overall meal consumption, since they are lowest in calories and highest in nutrients.
Manage your fork. After every bite of food, put your fork down. Don"t pick it up until you have thoroughly chewed and swallowed the previous bite. The goal is both to slow down your eating and to eat less. Remember: Your body needs 20 minutes of digestion before it sends signals to your brain that you are no longer hungry.

答案
小题1:size
小题1:however
小题1:fewer
小题1:Suggestions
小题1:familiar
小题1:slowly
小题1:appetite
小题1:soup
小题1:times/ intervals
小题1:signals
解析
小题1:根据第三行“offered in serving sizes two ”可知平时店里的快餐的量是适应量的两到五倍。
小题2:根据后面一句中“...no matter how high they"re piled...”可知用however="no" matter how
小题3:根据第二段第一行“...even as the percentage of our total calories from fat has gone down in recent years.”可知就是摄入的卡里路已经下降,因此用fewer。
小题4:根据文章后面内容可知是作者提出的建议,因此用suggestions。
小题5:根据第三段“Use familiar objects to picture how much you should eat...”可知填“familiar”。
小题6:根据第四段中“you"re just not as prone to eat as heartily and quickly if your plate will be empty in 45 seconds”可知不会迟的很快,因此用slowly代替。
小题7:根据第五段中“...cutting down appetite for the more calorie-dense meat...”可推断会减少食欲
小题8:根据第六段中“Start your meal with soup”,可知用soup。
小题9:根据最后一段中“...After every bite of food, put your fork down...”和“Your body needs 20 minutes of digestion before it sends signals to your brain that you are no longer hungry”可知每吃完一口就放下叉子,直达完全吃完这口,因为大脑在20分钟后才能接收到吃饱的信号。at intervals 时间间隔,时而
小题10:同上
核心考点
试题【One reason Americans eat so many calories is that we tend to eat large portions(】;主要考察你对数词等知识点的理解。[详细]
举一反三
Let me explain. Most of us see our present situation as a stepping stone that we use simply as a means of reaching our final destination. We don’t take time to truly appreciate where we are today and all the great things we already have in our lives. We should focus our attention on the journey and not on the destination, or we will miss the beautiful scenery along the way.
Let’s use our job as an example. Now most of us want a promotion. We have plans to become the manager or general manager in our companies. Unfortunately, most of us will never reach the goal, but will watch others achieve our goal instead.
What we should be doing is focusing on the job we are currently in now. Forget where we want to get to and just focus on the present. You see, what we can control is our performance in our current job. We can decide to be the best we possibly can in our current job. Now this may mean further education to have the skills we currently do not have. It may mean working harder to produce better results than our colleagues. It could simply be a change of attitude, such as stopping complaining and becoming a more devoted and supportive employee. By doing our current job to the best of our abilities, we in fact give ourselves the best chance of promotion.
So the best thing for all of us to do to achieve our goals is to just focus on what we have and where we are now. Do the best and be the best we possibly can in our current situations, and we will give ourselves the very best chance of reaching our goals in the future. We have heard the old sayings and they are true: “Rome wasn’t built in a day.”, “Patience is a virtue”, and so on.
Have patience, have appreciation of what we already have, and take time to help ourselves be the very best we can. Do these things and we will all reach our goals, but more importantly, we will enjoy our life every day.

Each year there is an increasing number of cars as millions of new cars are produced in America. Americans will not live without cars! However, some have realized the serious problem of air pollution by cars. It is necessary to find ways to solve the problem of air pollution.
One way to clean the air is to build a new kind of clean car. That’s what several of the large car factories are trying to do. But to build a clean car is easier said than done. Progress in this field has been slow.
Another way is to take the place of the car engine by something else. Engineers are now working on it. Many makers believe that it will take years to develop a practical model for us.
To prevent the world being polluted by cars, Americans have to make some changes in the way of their life. They have to cut down on the number of their cars and are encouraged to travel and go to work by bike. But this change does not come easily. Many workers may find themselves without jobs if a car factory closes down. And the problem of their pollution would become less important than that of unemployment.
Americans may live a happy but sad life for a long time because of the car problem.
