My eating habits had to change in a big way. With diabetes, I can’t eat a lot of sugar or carbohydrates (碳水化合物). I have to figure out exactly how much sugar I plan to eat, and then I get an injection of insulin (注射胰岛素) before the meal to help my body process the food. Also, I test my blood-sugar level often. I’m always trying to keep my blood sugar at a healthy level. The level can drop when I exercise, but that doesn’t keep me out of gym class or off the basketball court — I just keep some juice boxes around to boost my blood sugar if I need to.
It’s a lot of work — and not a lot of fun — to keep track of everything, but I’ve gotten used to my new habits. I was a little scared at first because I wasn’t sure how my life would change. Once I knew what I needed to do, though, it wasn’t a big deal. My life is different now from what it was before, but it has become completely regular to me.
小题1:The first paragraph is mainly about _____.
A.who found the author had diabetes |
B.the author’s life before having diabetes |
C.how the author was found to have diabetes |
D.the author’s eating habits before having diabetes |
A.She stopped playing basketball in the gym. |
B.She controlled her blood-sugar level strictly. |
C.She stopped eating food with natural sugar. |
D.She tested her blood-sugar level before every meal. |
A.Increase. | B.Control. | C.Absorb. | D.Test. |
A.Worried. | B.Frightened. | C.Pessimistic. | D.Positive. |
答案
小题1:C
小题2:B
小题3:A
小题4:D
解析
试题分析:
小题1:C 段落大意题。本文第一段是关于我如何发现自己患上糖尿病的过程。是因为自己喝东西太多了,这个现象让妈妈感觉奇怪,所以去检查了,发现自己患上了糖尿病。故C正确。
小题2:B 细节题。根据第一段最后两行That can be dangerous, so I had to learn how to control my blood-sugar level. 说明B正确。
小题3:A 推理题。根据本句The level can drop when I exercise, but that doesn’t keep me out of gym class or off the basketball court — I just keep some juice boxes around to boost my blood sugar if I need to.说明在运动的时候我的血糖水平会降低,所以我带上果汁,如果在需要的时候喝果汁,来提高我的血糖含量。那么该词应该是指提高,故A正确。
小题4:D 推理题。根据文章最后三行I was a little scared at first because I wasn’t sure how my life would change. Once I knew what I needed to do, though, it wasn’t a big deal. My life is different now from what it was before, but it has become completely regular to me. 说明起初的时候,我很担心,但是后来我知道了这并不是什么大事。我已经习惯了现在的生活,说明我对待这个问题很乐观。故D正确。
点评:文章介绍我发现自己换糖尿病以及如何进行治疗的过程。文章内容较为简单,考查的方向主要是推理题,要求考生仔细审题,准确定位,合理推测,准确判断。

举一反三
Maybe that’s why more and more people I know, even if they have no religious commitment, seem to be turning to yoga, or meditation, or tai chi. Some friends of mine try to go on long walks every Sunday, or to “forget” their cellphones at home. A series of tests in recent years has shown that after spending time in quiet rural settings, subjects “exhibit greater attentiveness, stronger memory and generally improved cognition. Their brains become both calmer and sharper.” More than that, empathy, as well as deep thought, depends on neural processes that are “inherently slow. ” The very ones our high-speed lives have little time for.
In my own case, I turn to eccentric and often extreme measures to try to keep my sanity and ensure that I have time to do nothing at all. I’ve not yet used a cellphone and I’ve never Tweeted or entered Facebook. I try not to go online till my day’s writing is finished, and I moved from Manhattan to rural Japan.
None of this is a matter of principle or asceticism (苦行主义): it’s just pure selfishness. Nothing makes me feel better-----calmer, clearer and happier----than being in one place, absorbed in a book, a conversation, a piece of music. It’s actually something deeper than mere happiness: it’s joy, which the monk David Steindl-Rast describes as “that kind of happiness that doesn’t depend on what happens.” That is the highest of the highest we have been longing for----The Joy of Quiet.

“I’ve got my knees bent. I feel totally alive,” he said. “It feels more natural to stand.”
In the past few years, standing has become the new sitting for 10 percent of AOL employees at the firm’s Virginia branch. Part of a standing popularity is among accountants, programmers, telemarketers and other office workers across the nation.
GeekDesk, a California firm that sells desks raised by electric motors, says sales will triple this year.
Standers give various reasons for taking to their feet: It makes them feel more focused, prevents drowsiness(困倦睡意), and makes them feel like a general even if they just push paper. (Former Defense Secretary Donald Rumsfels works standing up. So does novelist Philip Roth.)
But unknown to them, a debate (辩论) is spreading among ergonomics experts(人类工程学家) and public-health researchers about whether all office workers should be encouraged to stand—to save lives.
Doctors point to surprising new research showing higher rates of diabetes, obesity, heart disease and even mortality among people who sit for long stretches. A study earlier this year in the American Journal of Epidemiology showed that among 123,000 adults followed over 14 years, those who sat more than six hours a day were at least 18 percent more likely to die during the time period studied than those who sat less than three hours a day.
“Every rock we turn over when it comes to sitting is astonishing,” said Marc Hamilton, a leading researcher on inactivity physiology at the Pennington Biomedical Research Center in Louisiana. “Sitting is harmful. It’s dangerous. We are on the cusp (尖端) of a major revolution.” He calls sitting “the new smoking”.
Not so fast, other experts say. Standing too much at work will cause more long-term back injuries. Incidences of varicose veins(静脉曲张) among women will increase. The heart will have to pump more.
Hedge, the Cornell professor, isn’t a fan of all this standing. “Making people stand all day is dumb,” he said.
The sensible and most cost-effective strategy(策略), he said, is to sit in a neutral posture(姿势), slightly reclined(下弯的), with the keyboard on a tray above the lap. This position promotes positive blood flow. Workers should occasionally walk around, stretch and avoid prolonged periods at the desk. The key, he said, is movement, not standing.

A.the result of the study about sitting too long is shocking |

C.we need to smooth away many difficulties |
D.sitting on a rock is necessary |
A.It will cause more long-term back injuries |
B.it will raise the burden of heart |
C.incidences of varicose veins among women will increase |
D.standing too much at work per day is too tiring |
A.it is better not to stand more than 6 hours |
B.sitting too long can arouse illnesses easily |
C.sitting long is specially harmful to adults |
D.standing much is better than sitting long |
A.Standing is not better than sitting |
B.Standing more does no harm to people |
C.Standing will promote the efficiency |
D.More office workers take standing against sitting |
Then, about eight years ago, I got a much better job. The pay was better, but the hours were a lot longer. I bought a car and drove to work every day. I began to take people out to lunch. And I began to put on weight, too. I stopped playing tennis and going for long walks at weekends because I just didn’t have any time for things like that any more.
There’s a lot of stress (压力) in my job. Perhaps that’s why I started drinking more than I used to. For example, I used to have only half a glass of whisky when I got home, but then I started filling my glass to the top, and instead of having one glass, I would have several. I started smoking a lot, too. I never used to smoke at all.
Two months ago I had a heart attack. At first I just couldn’t believe it. Luckily it wasn’t very serious. The doctor advised me to stop smoking and to eat less. He also advised me to work less and get more exercise. But I just haven’t any time! My job takes everything out of me!
Sometimes I wonder if I should get another job. Perhaps I could do something like I used to do. But if I do that, I won’t earn as much. I have a family to support. I have to think of them, too. I just don’t know what I should do. What do you think?
小题1:Compared with ten years ago, what is worse for the author now?
A.His job. | B.His pay. |
C.His means of transport. | D.His health. |
A.He got higher pay. |
B.His working hours weren’t long. |
C.He found it very stressful. |
D.He had little free time at weekends. |
A.not to work any longer |
B.to take a long vacation abroad |
C.to stop smoking and take exercise |
D.not to eat out any more |
Of course, if you want to keep your mind clear and be energetic(充满活力的), you must take a proper rest and study properly. To the teenagers, using their brains in the morning is good for their health.
There are many ways to rest. One is a peaceful rest. Sleep is a peaceful rest. Another is an active rest. For example, take a walk outdoors, do morning exercises every day. To change the way of the brains’activities(活动)is also a good way to rest.
In everyday life, to eat some eggs, meat, fresh vegetable and fruit is also good for the brains.
Wish you a wise man and a happy life.
小题1:If ________________ ,your mind will be clean?
A.You go swimming in a lake |

A.Sleep is a kind of good rest. |
B.Doing morning exercises is a peaceful rest. |
C.Going out for a rest is an active rest. |

B.Fruits are the most important for the brains. |
C.The brains will be better if they are used often. |
D.Sleep is the only way of having a rest. |
A.How to Use your Brain | B.How to Rest |
C.How to Become a Wise Man | D.Keep Your Mind Clear |
The old saying “An apple a day keeps the doctor away” is not silly as some people think. The body needs fruit and vegetables because they contain vitamin C Many people take extra vitamins in the form of pills(药丸), believing that these will make them healthy. But a good diet is made up of nourishing food and this gives all the vitamins you need. The body doesn’t need or use extra vitamins. So why waste money on them?
In the modern western world many people are too busy to care about eating properly. They throw anything into their stomachs, eating hurriedly and carelessly. The list of illness caused or made worse by bad eating habits is frightening.
小题1:The old saying in the passage tells us that_______.
A.the apple is the best among all kinds of fruits. |
B.apple can take the place of doctors. |
C.eating apples regularly (有规律的) does lots of good to our health. |
D.an apple is a sure cure for illness. |
A.our bodies need food or we can’t live. |
B.often eating apples is a good habit. |
C.taking extra vitamin pills is completely useless. |
D.a good diet is very important to our health. |
A.only eat an apple a day. |
B.eat properly. |
