（2016高考训练）阅读下列材料，从每题所给的选项中选出最佳选项。

(2014·长沙二模)If you're thinking about reaching for another biscuit to get you through the working day，think again.Eating unhealthy snacks at your desk makes you pile on almost half a stone a year，a survey has revealed.The waistlines of women suffer the most，with the average female putting on 6lb 3oz—the equivalent of a whole dress size—while men see their weight increase by 5lb 2oz.
The report into our eating habits found that，on average，we eat at least two snacks a day，with 30 percent of us tucking into three or more.Women admit eating more than men，with a further 13 percent of ladies scoffing four or more snacks a day.The research，by The Village Bakery，found biscuits are the most common vice，with 42 percent regularly opening a pack，closely followed by chocolate (38 percent)，crisps (32 percent) and cakes ( 13 percent)．
And office workers are worse than most.Cakes and biscuits brought into work by colleagues are one of the main temptations office staff give in to.In addition，33 percent admit reaching for nibbles to cope with stress and 22 percent say they need a sugar rush to perk them up in the afternoon. Simon Staddon，of The Village Bakery，said：“We were aware time－poor office workers can find it difficult to easily access a nutritional lunch.But we were really shocked by the extent to which ‘quick fix’ lunches are affecting weight gain and general well－being.Popular mid －afternoon pick－me－ups such as biscuits，chocolate and cakes are high in calories，fat and full of sugar，all of which affect your blood sugar levels and ultimately lead to weight gain.”
The survey of 2，000 British men and women suggests we are often ashamed of our unhealthy eating.Twenty－four percent of Britons admit lying about how many snacks they eat with 33 percent of women lying，compared to 20 percent of men.Unfortunately，it's as if we are not likely to do anything positive to counteract the sweet treats.

Calls and e­mails came from as far away as the Upper Peninsula and Arizona as well as Oakland and Macomb counties, offering Laurie Crouch, who uses a wheelchair because of multiple sclerosis (硬化症), everything from dogs to money, such as that from Jason Daly of Roseville who said, “I would like to buy her a new dog.”
A story about the death of Crouch’s pet, Gooch, was
printed on the front page of Macomb Daily.Crouch said a groomer tied Gooch up with a collar, and then she and a man sat on the dog to trim its nails.Gooch died after one claw was trimmed.
Crouch yelled at the groomer to stop when she saw Gooch was struggling to breathe, but she said she was ignored.“If I could have walked, I would have put my hands on her and pulled her off my dog and physically stopped her, but I can’t do that.” Gooch was not a trained service animal, but naturally helped Crouch by picking up things for her.“This case is absolute animal abuse (虐待)，” Larry Obrecht, division manager of the Oakland County Animal Shelter in Auburn Hills, said. People who read the story contacted Oakland Press to offer help.A message, from Rebecca Amett of Giggles N Wiggles PuppyRescue, in Roseville, said, “We have puppies to donate and want to help the young woman who lost her service dog.”

社会文化（阅读理解）
Cities alarmed by deaths and injuries of pedestrians are taking efforts to make crosswalks safer for people on foot,especially seniors and children who need more time to cross streets.
A pedestrian is killed in a traffic accident in the USA every 110 minutes;one is injured every nine minutes,according to official date.Crosswalks can be especially dangerous for the elderly.Among people 70 and older,36% of pedestrian deaths in 2006 occurred in crosswalks,compared with 21% of those younger than 70,according to the Insurance Institute for Highway Safety.
The Federal Highway Administration(FHWA) advises that next year states increase by nearly 15% the amount of time traffic lights provide for pedestrians to cross the street after the flashing orange hand appears.
FHWA spokesman Doug Hecox says reasons for the change include an
aging population that needs more time to cross,health-conscious Americans walking more,children encouraged to walk to prevent getting overweight and high gas prices pushing people to walk instead of drive.
Pedestrian deaths went down by 12% from 5,449 in 1996 to 4,784 in 2006.But among those in 2006,471 were killed in crosswalks,down slightly from 488 ten years earlier,the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration(NHTSA)says.
1.Which of the following is true according to the text?( )
A.Among 100 pedestrian deaths there were 21 people younger than 70.
B.Old people are more likely to meet with accidents in crosswalks.
C.Traffic accidents killed more old people than young people.
D.About seven traffic accidents happened per hour.
2.What is FHWA’s suggestion to states?()
A.Fixing more traffic lights.
B.Providing more crosswalks.
C.Giving pedestrians more time to cross streets.
D.Increasing the time before the orange lights appear.
3.What’s the cause of the crosswalk safety problem according to the text?( )
A.There’re many cars and buses on the road.
B.Pedestrians are careless.
C.Crosswalks are crowded.
D.Drivers don’t give way.
4.The report from NHTSA suggests that .
A.fewer people were injured in crosswalks
B.crosswalk safety has been greatly improved
C.much has been done to reduce traffic accidents
D.pedestrian deaths in crosswalks remain a serious problem
语篇解读:横过马路时,行人的意外死亡率居高不下。

很多城市正在努力采取措施保证行人过马路的安全,尤其是老人和孩子。

答案及剖析:1.B 事实细节题。

第二段第二、三句告诉我们:老年人在十字路口遭遇交通事故的可能性最大。

2.C 事实细节题。

第三段告诉我们FHWA建议给行人更多的时间通过路口。

3.C 推理判断题。

第四段指出:老年人需要更多的时间通过马路,有健康意识的人喜爱步行,儿童被鼓励步行以防止发胖,油价较高也让人们更倾向于步行而不是驾车。

由此可知十字路口的安全问题是过度拥挤。

4.D 推理判断题。

最后一段NHTSA称:行人死亡人数4784,比1996年(5449)降低了12%,但这一数字依旧很高,注意句中用的是down slightly“稍微有点下降”,所以十字路口的安全问题依然严峻。
