Diet commercials are constantly appearing on our television screens telling us that once we lose weight, we will be happy. While you’re standing at the grocery store you are surrounded by magazines claiming to have the newest and best diet. Each month another new diet appears claiming to be the diet to end all diets. If diets really worked, then why are there so many of them? The reason a new diet pops up each month, is that last’s month’s diets did not work. The truth of the matter is that DIETS DON’T WORK.
The diet and fashion industries are not totally to blame for society’s obsession with thinness. We are the ones keeping them in business. We buy into the idea that we can attain the “ideal” body image. We allow ourselves to believe the lies being thrown at us constantly. We are throwing away our hard earned money trying to live up to the standards that society has set for us. It’s unfortunate, but in today’s society, people have forgotten that it’s what’s inside a person that counts, not what’s on the outside. We need to start loving and accepting each other for who we are, not what we look like.
Once again, I would like to stress the fact that diets don’t work. Eating three healthy meals a day, a few snacks and doing moderate exercise, will allow your body to go to its natural set point. Next time you decide that you are going to start another diet because you feel you are too fat, stop, sign up for a self-esteem class instead. That would be money well spent.

解析
试题分析:本文介绍了现在的减肥节食产品层出不穷,实际上所有的这样的产品都是无用的。真正美丽的不是外在的东西,而是人的内在美。
小题1:C 细节题。根据第一段3,4行They watch shows like Beverly Hills 90210 and Melrose Place and feel they need to look as thin as the actresses on these shows.说明这是一种电视节目,故C正确。
小题2:B 推理题。根据第二段最后3行If diets really worked, then why are there so many of them? The reason a new diet pops up each month, is that last’s month’s diets did not work. The truth of the matter is that DIETS DON’T WORK.可知并不是新的产品比旧的有效。如果这些新的产品有效,就不会有后面的更新的产品出现了。故B项说法是错误的。
小题3:C 细节题。根据第二段中最后2行The reason a new diet pops up each month, is that last’s month’s diets did not work. The truth of the matter is that DIETS DON’T WORK.说明这些产品实际上都没有作用。故C项正确。
小题4:D 推断题。根据第三段中最后3行in today’s society, people have forgotten that it’s what’s inside a person that counts, not what’s on the outside. We need to start loving and accepting each other for who we are, not what we look like.可知最重要的不是外在的东西,而是人们的内在美。故D项正确。
小题5:B 推理题。根据文章最后一段第一句Once again, I would like to stress the fact that diets don’t work.说明本段是起一个归纳总结的作用,最后再次说明这些节食的产品都是无用的。故B正确。
点评:本文介绍了现在的减肥节食产品层出不穷,实际上所有的这样的产品都是无用的。真正美丽的不是外在的东西,而是人的内在美。本文要求考生在阅读理解整体语篇的基础上,把握文章的真正内涵。要吃透文章的字面意思,从字里行间捕捉有用的提示和线索,这是推理的前提和基础;要对文字的表面信息进行挖掘加工,由表入里,由浅入深,从具体到抽象,从非凡到一般,通过分析、综合、判定等,进行深层处理,符合逻辑地推理。不能就是论事,断章取义,以偏概全。要忠实于原文,以文章提供的事实和线索为依据。

Zoo officials say they are concerned about animals. However, most zoos remain “collections” of interesting “things” rather than protective habitats. Zoos teach people that it is acceptable to keep animals bored, lonely and far from their natural homes.
Zoo claims to educate people and save endangered species, but visitors leaves zoos without having learned anything meaningful about the animals’ natural behaviour, intelligence, or beauty. Zoo keeps animals in small spaces or cages, and most signs only mention the species’ name, diet, and natural range. The animals’ normal behavior is seldom noticed because zoos don’t usually take care of the animals’ natural needs.
The animals are kept together in small spaces, with no privacy and little opportunity for mental and physical exercise. This results in unusual and self-destructive behavior called zoochosis. A worldwide study of zoos found that zoochosis common among animals kept in small spaces or cages. Another study showed that elephants spend 22 percent of their time making repeated head movements or biting cage bars and bears spend 30 percent of their time walking back and forth, a sign of unhappiness and pain.
Furthermore, most animals in zoos are not endangered. Captive breeding (圈养繁殖) of endangered big cats, Asian elephants, and another species has not resulted in their being sent back to the wild. Zoos talk a lot about their captive breeding programs because they do not want people to worry about a species dying out. In fact, baby animals also attract a lot of paying customers. Haven’t we seen enough competitions to name baby animals?
Actually, we still save endangered species only if we save their habitats and put an end to the reasons people kill them. Instead of supporting zoos, we should support groups that work to protect animals’ natural habitats.
小题1:How would the author describe the animals’ life in Zoos?
A.Dangerous | B.Unhappy | C.Natural | D.Easy |
A.remain in cages | B.behave strangely |
C.attack other animals | D.enjoy moving around |
A.Zoos are not worth the public support. |
B.Zoos fail in their attempt to save animals. |
C.Zoos should treat animals as human beings. |
D.Zoos use animals as a means of entertainment. |
A.pointing out the faults in what zoos do |
B.using evidence he has collected at zoos |
C.exploring the way animals are protected |
D.discussing the advantages of natural habitats |
A.zoos have to keep animals in small spaces |
B.most animals in zoos are endangered species |
C.some endangered animals are reproduced in zoos |
D.it’s acceptable to keep animals away from their habitats |
Do you write by hand more or type more? In Beijing, students start using a computer as early as primary school. And computer dependence is more wide-spread among university students. Almost all their homework and essays are typed on a computer.
All the students interviewed say they usually use a computer.
It"s faster and easier to correct if using a computer. And that"s why computers are being applied more and more often to modern education. But when people are taking stock in computers increasingly, problems appear.
"When I"m writing with a pen, I find I often can"t remember how to write a character, though I feel I’m familiar with it."
"I"m not in the mood to write when faced with a pen and paper."
Many students don"t feel this is something to worry about. Now that it"s more convenient and quick to write on a computer, why bother to handwrite?
Many educators think differently. Shi Liwei , the headmaster of a famous primary school in the capital said "Chinese characters enjoy both practical and aesthetic(审美的) value. But those characters typed with computer keyboards only have their practical value. All the artistic beauty of the characters is lost. And handwriting contains the writer"s emotion(情绪). Through one"s handwriting, people can get to know one"s thinking and personality. Beautiful writing will give people a better first impression of them.”
To encourage students to handwrite more, many primary schools in Beijing have made writing classes compulsory(必修的)and in universities, some professors are asking students to turn in their homework and essays written by hand.
小题1:Which of the following can best serve as the title of the passage?
A.The Importance of Handwriting and Typing. |
B.To Type or To Hand Write |
C.Writing By Computer Will Replace Writing By Hand |
D.Practical and Aesthetic Value of Chinese Characters. |
A.they are usually asked to e-mail their homework and Essays |
B.they can correct the mistakes they make quickly and conveniently |
C.they find it not easy to remember how to write a character |
D.computers have become popular in China. |
A.Handwriting contains the writer"s emotion. |
B.The writer’s thinking and personality are shown in his or her handwriting, |
C.Handwriting can impress people well and build up one’s self-confidence |
D.Chinese characters enjoy both practical and aesthetic value. |
A.getting bored with | B.getting dependent on |
C.becoming crazy about | D.getting curious about |
A.more and more students will give up writing on a computer |
B.writing by hand will give way to typing by computer one day |
C.more and more students will pay attention to handwriting |
D.the typing article better expresses one’s emotion and quality |
There are many reasons why that nail of a rumor can be so harmful. Rumors are, quite simply, a form of bullying(欺侮). When a person or a group makes up a rumor about someone or decides to spread gossip, it’s usually to hurt someone, break up a friendship, or make someone less popular. It’s the same thing as teasing, only it’s done behind someone’s back instead of to his or her face.
When you spread a rumor about someone, you’re sending a signal that the person is outside of the group, and somehow less worthy of friendship than others. You’re making fun of that person or pointing out negative things about him or her. This can let others think that it’s okay to make the person feel bad, and make him or her an outsider.
We need to be able to trust our friends, and gossip and rumors can break this trust. If you tell a personal secret to a friend, and he turns around and tells it to someone else, you might feel like you will get burned if you ever get close to him again.
Letting a rumor influence your behavior is like letting someone else make a big decision for you. Let’s say you hear that the teacher plans to call a Snow Day tomorrow because a blizzard (暴风雪) is coming. Expecting a day off, you don’t do your homework. The next morning, the blizzard turns out to be nothing more than a drizzle(毛毛雨), and school isn’t off after all. You get zeroes on your work.
小题1:To tell a rumor and a tease apart, you depend on ______.
A.whether it is done behind someone |
B.whether it is painful or not |
C.whether it is a kind of bullying |
D.whether it is spread fast. |
A.point out his or her advantages |
B.keep away from him or her |
C.not feel he or she is an outsider |
D.be hurt if getting close to him or her again. |
A.advise on how to deal with rumors |
B.teach us how to judge a rumor |
C.find out why rumors spread fast |
D.explain why rumors hurt |
Why are America’s kids so stressed? The report cites two main causes: increasing physical isolation (孤独) brought on by high divorce rates and less involvement in community, and a growing perception that the world is a more dangerous place.
Given that we can’t turn the clock back, adults can still do plenty to help the next generation to cope.
At the top of the list,nurturing (培育) is a better appreciation of the limits of individualism. No child is an island. Strengthening social ties helps build communities and protect individuals against stress.
To help kids build stronger connections with others, you can pull the plug on TVs and computers. Your family will thank you later.They will then have more time for face-to-face relationships, and they will get more sleep.
Limit the amount of virtual (虚拟的) violence your children are exposed to. It’s not just video games and movies; children see a lot of murder and crime on the local news.
Keep your expectations for your children reasonable. Many highly successful people never attended Harvard or Yale.
Make exercise part of your daily routine. It will help you deal with your own anxieties and provide a good model for your kids. Sometimes anxiety is unavoidable,but it doesn’t have to ruin your life.
小题1:What does the author thinks of the conclusion that people in America are unhappier than 50 years ago?
A.Surprising | B.Confusing | C.Illogical | D.Questionable |
A.It’s impossible to slow down the pace of the change. |
B.The social reality children are facing cannot be changed. |
C.Lessons learned from the past should not be forgotten. |
D.It’s impossible to forget the past. |
A.were less isolated physically |
B.were probably less self-centered |
C.probably suffered less from anxiety |
D.were considered less individualistic |
A.To provide them with a safer environment. |
B.To lower their expectations for them. |
C.To get them more involved socially. |
D.To set a good model for them to follow. |
A.Anxiety, though always unavoidable, can be coped with. |
B.Children’s anxiety has been enormously exaggerated(夸大). |
C.Children’s anxiety can be removed with more parental care. |
D.Anxiety, if properly controlled, may help children become mature. |
In North America, “cottaging(去乡间别墅度周末)” really began during the 19th century. At that time, crowds of people were moving from family farms to cities. Naturally, these people often felt a longing for the natural beauty of the countryside. Frequently located near lakes, in the mountains of woods, cottages provided a perfect solution.
Traditionally small and rustic (乡下风格的),many cottages were once simple log(原木) homes without bathrooms, water or electricity. While in most cases that is no longer true, people still go to cottages in large numbers to escape the city and to enjoy “cottage life.”
Despite the peaceful setting, there is always plenty to do at a cottage. If you enjoy outdoor activities, try hunting, boating or hiking. Many cottages are located near a lake, so you have opportunities to go swimming, boating or sunbathing around. Enjoy a picnic with your family, or build a campfire to roast hot dogs. On rainy days, curl up(蜷曲) on a comfortable chair inside and read, or enjoy board games (棋类游戏) with your friends and relatives. Want to get out and explore? Take a tour of the lake in a motorboat, or visit one of the many small villages located nearby.
Many families rent cottages instead of owning them, but for those who do, there’s always work to be done. Wood must be chopped for the stove. Leaves need to be gathered and gardens taken care of. Since many cottages are old buildings, there’s usually something that needs to be fixed or painted.
The story of cottages is one of families, traditions and memories. Are you ready to try cottaging with your family?
小题1:The underlined word “longing” in Paragraph 2 probably means “_________ ”.
A.horror | B.need | C.disappointment | D.excitement |
A.It is far from lakes. |
B.It is not popular now. |
C.It was probably built of wood. |
D.It was built in a short time. |
A.Sunbathing and swimming. |
B.Hunting, hiking and boating, |
C.Having a picnic and roasting hot dogs. |
D.Playing football and watching games on TV. |
A.Critical. | B.Doubtful. | C.Positive. | D.Bored. |
