“Grandma, Grandma, tell us a story！” Four darling children sat by my feet, looking up at me expectantly.
Suddenly, we were interrupted clapping. “Terrific，” the director said, stepping up the stage from the aisle(过道)．“Except, could you k ids face the audience a bit more？”
The kids shifted to face the empty seats, which would be filled in a few days for the church play.“Perfect，” the director said. “Now, Grandma, read to your grandchildren.” A pang of sadness hit me. If only I could read to my real grandchild!
I had a granddaughter, but I'd never met her. Sixteen years earlier my son was involved in a relationship that ended badly. But out of it came a blessing: a baby girl named Lena. I hoped to be a grandmother to her—but shortly after the birth, the mother moved without any address left. Over the years, I asked around town to try and find my son's ex­wife(前妻), but it seemed that she didn't want to be found.
I'd just joined this new church a week earlier, and was at once offered the part of Grandma in the play. At least now I could pretend to be a grandma. The rehearsals went well, and finally the day of the show arrived. The performance was great. “You all looked so natural up there，” one of my friends said.
Afterward, we went to the church basement for refreshments(茶点). I walked over to one of the girls in the play, Rehearsals had been such a whirlwind(一片忙乱) that we never really got to talk. “How's my granddaughter？” I joked.
“Fine！” she answered. Just then, someone else walked up and asked the girl her name.
I wasn't sure I heard the girl's answer correctly. But it made me ask her another question. “What's your mother's name？”
She told me, I was still in shock. “And what's your father's name？” I asked. She told me. It was my son.
She'd only started going to that church a week before I did. Since that day of the play, we've stayed close. Not long ago, she even made me a great grandma.

The World Health Organization says obesity rates are rising in Pacific island countries.So，too，are health problems linked to being overweight.
The WHO says a major reason for the rising obesity rates is an increase in imported foods.It says many Pacific islanders have replaced their traditional diets of vegetables and fruits with imported processed foods.
Dr.Temu Waqanivalu is with the World Health Organization's South Pacific office in Suva，Fiji.He says many of the imported products lack nutritional value.
Temu Waqanivalu said：“In some of the places，you'd be amazed to see how a bottle of Coke is cheaper than a bottle of water.I think that represents the kind of off­environment we've created that doesn't really encourage or make lifestyle choices an easy choice for the population.”
And a lack of physical activity among many Pacific islanders only adds to the obesity problem.
The WHO says more than 50 percent of the population is overweight in at least ten Pacific island countries.The rate is as high as 80 percent among women in the territory of American Samoa.Fiji had the lowest obesity rate at 30 percent.
In all，almost ten million people live in Pacific island countries.The WHO estimates that about 40 percent of them have health disorders related to diet and nutrition.
Diabetes rates are among the highest in the world.Forty­seven perc ent of the people in American Samoa have diabetes.So do 44 percent of the people in Tokelau，a territory of New Zealand.
By comparison，the diabetes rate is 13 percent in the United States，a country that has its own problems with rising obesity.
Officials also note an increase in nutritional problems like anemia and not enough vitamin A in the diets of Pacific islanders.Dr.Waqanivalu says treating conditions related to obesity and diet puts pressure on limited health resources and budgets.
46．The main reason why obesity rates are rising in many Pacific islanders is ________.

[1] For some scientists, boring and often strange tasks are just part of the daily work. Popular Science wrote about some of those unusual jobs in its 10 Worst Jobs in Science list for its April issue, 2011. The list seeks to “show how brave you have to be to really perform in real science，” says editor Jacob Warb. Here are some of them.
[2] Sneeze modeler: Most people turn away when they hear a sneeze, but University of California­Berkeley researcher Mark Nicas studies where on a person’s face spit will land when someone coughs or sneeze. He hopes to find the areas of the body most fragile to be attacked by the flu virus.
[3] Doomsday fact­checker: The movie 2012 focuses on doomsday,_which is supposed to be the end of the world. Since it came out, archaeologists(考古学家) such as Anthony Aveni of Colgate University have been responding to hundreds of e­mails from “sleepless­teenagers” to tell them that the story is false.
[4] Dance observer: Peter Lovatt at the University of Hertfordshire in the UK observes people dancing and onlookers’ reaction, to discover the social motivations behind dancing.
[5] Bean counter: Purdue University scientist Andrew Robinson and his research team counted beans of 10 plants from each of the 72 plots of soybeans they had planted, to study which months are most productive to plant soybeans.

综合能力训练卷(三)
第一部分
第一节
1．D 考查固定句式。

题中and是关键词，去掉插入语I think，可发现考查“名词短语＋and…”这一结构，名词短语表示条件，如果去掉and，则选A或B，构成条件从句。

此句还可写成：Make great efforts, I think, and you will settle the problem.构成“祈使句＋and＋简单句”结构。

2．D 考查冠词用法。

have a gift for对……有天赋；second to none为固定短语，意为“不比任何人差，首屈一指”。

3．D 考查主谓一致。

分析句子的结构可以看出，“we had been looking forward to”是定语从句，修饰句子的主语“the trip”。

由此可见，空格部分在句中作谓语，结合从句的时态，可知应该用一般过去时。

句意：使我们失望的是，我们盼望已久的旅行竟在在大雨中开始了。

4．C 考查强调句型。

句意：“你昨晚给谁打电话了？”“我姐姐，怎么啦？”本句是对特殊疑问词who的强调，且第一句的时态为过去时，原句应该是“Who did you call yesterday evening？”在原句中加入was it that后，句式变为“Who was it that you called yesterday evening？”故答案选C项。

5．D 考查动词的时态。

句意为：“你上个星期六为什么没有和我们一起去看电影？”“哦，对不起。

但是我已经看过了。

”所以应该用完成时。

根据情景，背景时间是上星期六，因此，本句用过去完成时。

6．D 考查定语从句。

分析句子结构可知，先行词为Wuhan，故用关系副词where作地点状语。

句意：李娜在比赛之后回到了武汉，众所周知，她是在那里成长并被培养成为网球冠军的。

7．A 考查动词的语态和副词。

measure表示“有多长(宽、高、深)”时为不及物动词，所以用主动语态。

that在此处相当于副词so；much能修饰形容词原级，词义为“非常，很”，不符合语境，但that的词义为“那么”，是符合语境的。

故选A。

8．D 考查动词的时态。

根据句意分析可知这里应该用现在完成进行时，强调某动作自之前一段时间开始一直进行，因此选D项。

9．A 考查名词辨析。

the distance为先行词，they keep from…为定语从句；keep distance from 意为“与……保持距离”。

10．B 考查动词辨析。

seek one's advice 意为“征求某人的意见”。

A应为ask for one's advice，C、D两项构不成有意义的搭配。

11．C 考查动词的时态和语态。

短语break out为不及物动词短语，不可用于被动语态，可先排除A、B两项。

根据语境可知，第一个空用过去进行时态。

句意：妈妈正在厨房做饭，这时孩子们争吵起来。

12．B 考查情态动词。

句意：最近宣布，所有的学校不应当让体温高的学生上学。

情态动词shall常在条约、法令、规章等文件中表示义务或规定，一般用于第三人称，意为“应当，必须”。

13．C 考查交际用语。

Behave yourself 好好的，听话，规矩点(对孩子等的用语)。

Help yourself请随便(吃、用等)；It's up to you由你决定；Go ahead行，可以，往下说、问等。

由答语的第二句话可以看出，这位母亲是要求孩子听话，故选C。

14．D 考查副词辨析。

suddenly突然地；naturally自然地；obviously明显地；luckily 幸运地。

句意：尽管他在地震中失去了父母，但幸运的是一对好心的夫妇收养了他并把他照顾得很好。

15．B 考查动词短语辨析。

句意：因为他的生意失败，他的身体垮了。

只有broke out 和broke down在此可以独立作谓语，而C、D两项必须带宾语。

A项“爆发”意义与语境不合，只有break down(垮掉)符合句意。

第二节
文章主要讲述了作者的父亲在自己工作的工厂爆炸中幸存，作者能再次见到父亲真是令
人高兴。

16．B 从上文的teachers看出，应该是“学生”。

故选B项。

17．A organize“组织”；order“命令”；make“使；让”；ask“要求”。

22．C 那也是“我”父亲工作的地方，“我”呆住了。

frighten“恐吓”是及物动词，要跟宾语，此处用不及物动词，freeze“凝固；僵硬”符合题意。

故选C项。

23．D 从上文的化工厂爆炸看，学生是找到回家的路。

make one's way“前进”；feel one's way“摸索着前进”；push one's way“挤出一条路”；find one's way“找到一条路”。

根据句意，选D项。

24．A 句意：我回家的路走了四分之一，这时一辆轿车喇叭声吓着我了，引起了我的注意。

National Day is such an important festival for Chinese people that it is celebrated all over the country. The streets take on a clear look. Big stores are hanging up national flags and you can even see national flags on some taxis and private cars.
All TV stations are bringing entertaining programs about National Day, while ordinary communities create all kinds of activities in celebration of it, for example, Yangge Dance.
People can take leisure holiday during National Day. They may go on a tour, or even travel abroad; they may also spend the holiday at home with their families.
In China, National Day is a happy time for all the people.
