试卷

A
Zoe Chambers was a successful PR （Public Relations）consultant and life was going well.She had a great job a beautiful flat and a busy social life in London.Then one evening in June last year,she received a text message telling her she was out of work. "The first two weeks were the most difficult to live through," she said. "After everything I'd done for the company,they dismissed me by text!I was so angry and I just didn't feel like looking for another job.I hated everything about the city and my life."
Then,Zoe received an invitation from an old school friend,Kathy,to come and stay.Kathy and her husband,Huw,had just bought a farm in north-west Wales.Zoe jumped at the chance to spend a weekend away from London,and now,ten months later,she is still on the farm. "The moment I arrived at Kathy's farm,I loved it and I knew I wanted to stay," said Zoe. "Everything about my past life suddenly seemed meaningless."
Zoe has been working on the farm since October of last year and says she has no regrets. "It's a hard life,physically very tiring," she says. "In London I was stressed and often mentally exhausted.But this is a good,healthy tiredness.Here,all I need to put me in a good mood is a hot bath and one of Kathy's wonderful dinners."
Zoe says she has never felt bored on the farm.Every day brings a new experience.Kathy has been teaching her how to ride a horse and she has learnt to drive a tractor.Since Christmas,she has been helping with the lambing ― watching a lamb being born is unbelievable.She says, "It's one of the most moving experiences I've ever had.I could never go back to city life now."

"We're all sad,and we're a little worried…We're sad about something missing in childhood," psychologist Michael Thompson told 900 early childhood educators from 22 states packed into a lecture hall last week. "We have to fight back," he declared. "We're going to fight for play." It is estimated that since the 1980s the average American children have 8 to 12 fewer hours of free play time per week.Some of the factors behind the decline have been there for decades,others are more recent.Among the key factors are：
● Parents are unwilling to let their kids play outside on their own,for fear of injury or other accidents,and organized sports and other structured activities take up a large part of a child's non-school hours.
● More hours per week are spent by kids watching TV，playing video games,using the Internet,and communicating on cell phones.
● More importance is attached to formal learning in preschool,more homework for primary school students and more pressure from parents on young children to quickly acquire academic skills.
"Parents are more self-conscious and competitive than in the past," Thompson said. "They're pushing their kids to do better than others…Free play loses out. " But he points out that this option doesn't necessarily breed （培养）creativity and can lead to burnout for good young athletes and frustration for the less skilled.He is also concerned that preschools,in the drive to prepare students for the academic challenges ahead,are reducing the opportunity for group
fantasy play — and thus reducing children's chances to learn on their own about
fairness,kindness and other social interactions （交往）.
The consequences are potentially awful,according to Thompson,who points out that reduced time to play freely with other children is producing a generation of unsociable young people and is a factor behind high rates of weight problems,anxiety,and depression among youth. "Without enough opportunity for forms of play that promote creative thinking," he says, "America's children will be at a disadvantage in the global economy."
5.Which of the following is TRUE？______
A. American kids have about 8 to 12 hours of free play time each week.
B. American parents don't allow their children to do a lot of sports.
C. Many preschools are paying more attention to formal learning.
D. American children spend less time watching TV.
6.Children's free play time has been reduced for the following reasons EXCEPT ______ .
A. parents are concerned about their children's safety
B. parents have higher academic expectations on their children
C. children spend more time on other activities instead of free play
D. some education experts give parents improper advice
7.What is the most important thing that children get by playing freely？______
A. Knowledge about the rules of some sports.
B. Skills in playing computer games.
C. Motivation to do better than others.
D. Opportunities to promote creative thinking.
8.According to Thompson,American children will be more ______ as a result of reduced
play time.
A. competitive
B. depressed
C. hard-working
D. sociable
C
Under the impression that if you want to lose weight,you have to eat less？Well apparently,the solution may not be quite that simple.
Instead,some scientists in the UK have been experimenting with ways to trick the body into feeling full.
A government-funded team has been testing simple foods found on everyday shopping lists.Bread,cheese,milk,soup and sauces can all be developed to cause the brain to send a brain
signal which acts as an appetite suppression （抑制）.
Peter Wilde,Scientist of UK Institute of Food Research,said,"If you can slow down the digestion of fat in the body,the undigested fat goes further down the small intestine and then it sends a message to the brain to reduce your appetite,so you can eat a normal-sized meal and the digestion is slowed down and then the message goes to your brain to reduce your appetite and you go for longer without being hungry."
The researchers insist that the treated foods will still be entirely natural products,and free from processing.
They believe helping people to reduce weight this way is beneficial because it allows them to eat normally.The scientists also think their treatment could be taken into snacks to make sure people don't eat too much.
The research is still at the experimental stage and it will be at least a year before their techniques can be used in a large scale human trial.
9.What does the passage mainly tell us？______
A. People can lose more weight by eating natural food products.
B. Eating less in meals can make people lose weight.
C. Fat people should eat bread and cheese every day.
D. Some scientists are doing research into a new way to lose weight.
10.How can the new way help people lose weight？______
A. Make a person lose his or her appetite for food.
B. Slow down the digestion of fat and then reduce the appetite.
C. Stop people eating food that is easy to digest.
D. Make people eat less but do not feel hungry.
11.According to the passage,the following statements are true EXCEPT ______ .
A. bread and milk can be developed to slow down the digestion of fat
B. you won't eat as frequently as before by eating the treated food
C. you don't have to go on a diet when taking the treated food
D. many people have been invited to test the treated food
12.The passage most probably is ______ .
A. an official document
B. a news story
C. an advertisement
D. a research report
D
It is often claimed that nuclear energy is something we cannot do without.We live in a consumer society,where there is a huge demand for commercial products of all
kinds.Moreover,an increase in industrial production is considered to be one solution to the problem of mass unemployment.Such an increase needs an abundant and cheap energy supply.Many people believe that nuclear energy is endless and economical.There are a number of other advantages in the use of nuclear energy.Firstly,nuclear power,except for accidents,is clean.A further advantage is that a nuclear power station can be run by relatively few technical and managing staff.The nuclear power station represents a large step in our scientific research and,whatever the anti-nuclear group says,it is wrong to expect a return to more primitive sources of fuel.
However,those who disagree with nuclear energy point out that nuclear power stations bring a direct threat not only to the environment but also to the human race.Furthermore,it is doubtful whether finally nuclear power is a cheap source of energy.There have,for example,been very costly accidents in America and Russia.The possibility of increases in the cost of uranium and the cost to ensure its safety could price nuclear power out of the market.In the long
run,environmentalists argue,nuclear energy may bring about the destruction of the human race.Thus,if we wish to survive,we cannot afford nuclear energy.Though nuclear energy programs are expanding,which assumes a continual growth in industrial production and consumer demands,it is doubtful whether this growth will or can continue.
Having weighed up the arguments on both sides,it seems there are good economic and environmental reasons for sources of energy other than nuclear power.
13.According to the passage,an increase in industrial production can ______ .
A. ensure the safety of nuclear power
B. overcome the resource crisis
C. solve the pollution problem
D. offer more working opportunities
14.According to the anti-nuclear group,nuclear energy has the following disadvantages
EXCEPT that ______ .
A. it is a limited source of energy
B. it is harmful to the environment
C. it is a danger to the human race
D. it is an expensive source of energy
15.The writer's attitude toward nuclear energy is ______ .
A. indifferent
B. favorable
C. tolerant
D. negative

（3）D.推理判断题。

根据最后一段
""Without enough opportunity for forms of play that promote creative thinking," he says, "A merica's children will be at a disadvantage in the global economy."他说："如果没有足够的
机会进行促进创造性思维的游戏形式，美国的儿童将在全球经济中处于不利地位。

（4）B.推理判断题。

根据最后一段
"The consequences are potentially awful,according to Thompson,who points out that reduced time to play freely with other children is producing a generation of unsociable young people a nd is a factor behind high rates of weight problems,anxiety,and depression among youth.汤普

果你想减肥，你就必须少吃？显然，解决办法可能没那么简单。

）"以及第二段"Instead,some scientists in the UK have been experimenting with ways to trick the body into feeling full.（相反，英国的一些科学家一直在试验让身体有饱腹感的方法。

）"可知，本文主要介绍了科学家正在寻找一种新的减肥方式。

故选D。

（2）B.细节理解题。

根据文章第四段"If you can slow down the digestion of fat in the body,the undigested fat goes further down the small intestine and then it sends a message to the
brain to reduce your appetite,so you can eat a normal-sized meal and the digestion is slowed down and then the message goes to your brain to reduce your appetite and you go for longer without being hungry.（如果你能减缓体内脂肪的消化，未消化的脂肪会进一步进入小肠，然后它向大脑发送一个信号，让你减少食欲，所以你可以吃正常分量的食物，消化速度会慢下来，然后信息会传递到你的大脑，降低你的食欲，你就可以更长时间地不饿了。

）"可知，减缓体内脂肪消化，就可以让消化速度慢下来，从而降低食欲进行减肥。

故选B。

（3）D.细节理解题。

根据文章最后一句"The research is still at the experimental stage and it will be at least a year before their techniques can be used in a large scale human trial.（这项研究仍处于实验阶段，至少还需要一年的时间，他们的技术才能用于大规模的人体试验。

）"可知，这项研究人处于研究阶段，还不能用于大规模的人体实验。

所以D项many people have been invited to test the treated food（许多人被邀请来测试经过处理的食物）与原文不符。

故选D。

（4）D.文章类型题。

根据文章第一段"Under the impression that if you want to lose weight,you have to eat less？Well apparently,the solution may not be quite that simple. （如果你想减肥，你就必须少吃？显然，解决办法可能没那么简单。

）"以及第二段"Instead,some scientists in the UK have been experimenting with ways to trick the body into feeling full.（相反，英国的一些科学家一直在试验让身体有饱腹感的方法。

）"可知，本文主要介绍了科学家们一项新的减肥研究。

所以本文可能来自于研究报道。

A.an official document公文；
B.a news story新闻报道；
C.an advertisement广告；
D.a research report研究报告。

故选D。

（2）A.细节理解题。

根据第二段中

）"可知，A选项"它是一种有限的能源不是核能的缺点。

"故选A。

（3）D.观点态度题。

根据最后一段
"Having weighed up the arguments on both sides,it seems there are good economic and environmental reasons for sources of energy other than nuclear power.（权衡了双方的论据后，从经济和环境两方面考虑，似乎有充分的理由选择非核能的能源。

）"可推知，作者对核能持否定态度。

A.indifferent漠不关心的；B.favorable赞成的；C.tolerant容忍的；
D.negative否定的。

故选D。

这是一篇说明文。
