APeople are overweight for many reasons, the most important one of which is that they eat the wrong foods, get the wrong types of calories per meal, and they also eat meals at the wrong time each day. Food is more powerful than any weight loss pill, because the food that you eat can either make you thin or fat. This is true because your body is like an engine, and it only needs certain foods at certain intervals (间隔) each day.Low-calorie Diets Do Not WorkThe reason people cannot lose weight by starving themselves is that their metabolism(新陈代谢) will detect any major drop in calories and it will then adjust itself by burning fewer calories each day. That is the reason why you can eat 1,000calories per day and not lose any weight, while your friends can eat 2,500 calories per day and not gain any weight.Low-fat Diets Do Not WorkMany people in today’s society are buying mostly low-fat or non-fat food at the grocery store. Everybody knows how much fat is inside the food they buy. However, people are getting fatter than ever before by doing this. They are not losing weight by changing to this low-fat lifestyle.Losing weight has nothing to do with these things. One of the most important things you can do to control your weight is to eat the proper foods, such as fruit and vegetables, eat them at the right time, and exercise every day. If people make thisa habit, they will lose weight.21.What is the main reason why people are overweight?A.They burn many calories every day.B.They eat the wrong foods at the wrong time.C.They eat food with lots of calories.D.They don’t take weight loss pills.22.The article is written in order to________.A.tell readers not to buy low-fat or non-fat food.B.tell readers about an important scientific discovery.C.tell readers how to lose weight.D.call on people to lose weight and stay healthy.23.To realize the aim of your weight loss plan, you should_________.a. do exercise every dayb. eat meals at the right timec. eat fruits and vegetablesd. eat low-fat or sweet foode. eat the proper foods at each mealA.a, b, c, eB.a, b, d, eC.a, c, d, eD.a, b, c, dB.People have been enjoying the benefits of cycling(骑自行车) in Amsterdam(阿姆斯特丹) for years. It is a good city for cycling because it is flat and there are plenty of places for bicycle parking. Today some people call Amsterdam “City of Bicycles” because of the convenience for bicycles there.In the 1960s, a group of cycling fans had an idea. They believed that it would be better for everybody if cars weren’t allowed in the city center and only bicycles were. They were hopeful that this would help to save energy, reduce pollution and provide free public transport. The group painted hundreds of bicycles white and placed them in lots of neighborhoods around Amsterdam for people to use. Then a problem came-- thieves took all the bicycles within weeks!However, more than thirty years later, the “white bike’ is back in town--this time with a computer chip(芯片) to record its every move! To take a bicycle, you have to insert(插入) a special card. The new “ white bike” is not actually white but is an unusual design with bright colours. The bikes are parked at special parking places and people who want to use them have to take them to another special parking place that has enough room.There is already less traffic in central Amsterdam, because both locals and tourists have been using the white bikes. Instead, thanks to the good ideas of lots of people, like the cycling fans in the 1960s, many people around the world have been enjoying city centre streets without cars many years.24.Amsterdam is called the “City of Bicycles” because of_________.A.the cycling fans thereB.the appearance for bicyclesC.the convenience of bicyclesD.the quality of bicycles25.In the 1960s, some cycling fans hoped bikes could_________.A.be specially disignedB.help to save energyC.be placed anywhereD.be painted in different colours26.Why did the first “white bike” p lan fail?A.There were not enough parking places.B.The government allowed people to drive cars freely.C.Thieves took all the bikes within weeks.D.People were tired of riding bikes.27.What do people use if they want to take a “white bike” in the city?A.A special computer.B.A common chip.C.A special card.D.A white key.CAfter Mom died, I began visiting Dad every morning before I went to work. He was frail(虚弱的)and moved slowly, but he always had a glass of fresh orange juice on the kitchen table for me, along with a note reading, "Drink your juice." I knew such a gesture was as far as Dad had ever been able to go in expressing his love to me. In fact, I remember, as a kid I had questioned Mom "Why doesn't Dad love me!" Mom frowned, "Who said he doesn't love you!" "Well, he never tells me," I complained. "He never tells me either," she said, smiling. "But look how hard he works to take care of us, to buy us food and clothes, and to pay for this house. That's how your father tells us he loves us."I nodded slowly. I understood in my head, but not in my heart. I still wanted my father to put his arms around me and tell me he loved me.Dad owned and operated a small scrap(片)metal business and after school, I often hung around while he worked. I always hoped he'd ask me to help and then praise me for what I did. He never asked. His tasks were too dangerous for a young boy, and Mom was already worried enough that he'd hurt himself. Dad put scrap steel into a device that chopped (切,砍) it into pieces. The machine looked like a giant pair of scissors, with blades thicker than my father's body. If he didn't do things just right, he may get seriously injured. "Why don't you hire someone to do that for you?" Mom asked Dad one night as she rubbed his aching shoulders with a strong smelling liniment(擦剂). "Why don't you hire a cook?" Dad asked, giving her one of his rare smiles.Many years later, during my daily visit, after drinking the juice my father had squeezed for me, I walked over, hugged him and said, "I love you, Dad." From then on, I did this every morning. My father never told me how he felt about my hugs, and there was never any expression on his face when I gave them.28.Which would be the best title for the passage?A.I just couldn't understand my father.B.My father never loved me.C.Silent fatherly love.D.My hard-working father.29.The author's father always prepared a glass of fresh orange juice for him because _________.A.that was the author's favoriteB.he was sure the author would be thirstyC.the author was always complainingD.that was a gesture of love30.The author's father didn't hire a helper because _________.A.his job was too dangerousB.his job required high skillsC.he wanted to save moneyD.he was not good at communicating with others31.We may infer from the passage that __________.A.the author's father lacked a sense of humorB.the author quite understood his father as time went onC.the author's father didn't love him very muchD.the author's father was too strict with himDAs a young boy, I sometimes traveled the country roads with my dad. He was a rural mail carrier, and on Saturdays he would ask me to go with him. Driving through the countryside was always an adventure: There were animals to see, people to visit, and chocolate cookies if you knew where to stop, and Dad did.In the spring, Dad delivered boxes full of baby chickens, and when I was a boy it was such fun to stick your fingers through one of the holes of the boxes and let the baby birds peck on your fingers.On Dad's final day of work, it took him well into the evening to complete his rounds because at least one member from each family was waiting at their mailbox to thank him for his friendship and his years of service. "Two hundred and nineteen mailboxes on my route," he used to say, "and a story at every one." One lady had no mailbox, so Dad took the mail in to her every day because she was nearly blind. Once inside, he read her mail and helped her pay her bills.Mailboxes were sometimes used for things other than mail. One note left in a mailbox read, "Nat, take these eggs to Marian; she's baking a cake and doesn't have any eggs. " Mailboxes might be buried in the snow, or broken, or lying on the ground, but the mail was always delivered. On cold days Dad might find one of his customers waiting for him with a cup of hot chocolate. A young girl wrote letters but had no stamps, so she left a few buttons on the envelope in the mailbox; Dad paid for the stamps. One businessman used to leave large amounts of cash in his mailbox for Dad to take to the bank. Once, the amount came to $ 32,000.A dozen years ago, when I traveled back to my hometown on the sad occasion of Dad’s death, the mailboxes along the way reminded me of some of his stories. I thought I knew them all, but that wasn't the case.As I drove home, I noticed two lamp poles(杆), one on each side of the street. When my dad was around, those poles supported wooden boxes about four feet off the ground. One box was painted green and the other was red, and each had a long narrow hole at the top with white lettering: SANTA CLAUS, NORTH POLE. For years children had dropped letters to Santa through those holes.I made a turn at the corner and drove past the post office and across the railroad tracks to our house. Mom and I were sitting at the kitchen table when I heard footsteps. There, at the door, stood Frank Townsend, Dad's postmaster and great friend for many years. So we all sat down at the table and began to tell stories.At one point Frank looked at me with tears in his eyes. "What are we going to do about the letters this Christmas?" he asked."The letters?""I guess you never knew. ""Knew what?""Remember, when you were a kid and you used to put your letters to Santa in those green and red boxes on Main Street? It was your dad who answered all those letters every year. "I just sat there with tears in my eyes. It wasn’t hard for me to imagine Dad sitting at the old table in our basement reading those letters and answering eachone. I have since spoken with several of the people who received Christmas letters during their childhood, and they told me how amazed they were that Santa had known so much about their homes and families.For me, just knowing that story about my father was the gift of a lifetime.32.It can be inferred from the passage that the writer regarded his travels with Dad as_____.A.great chances to help other peopleB.happy occasions to play with baby chickensC.exciting experience with a lot of funD.good opportunities to enjoy chocolate cookies33.The writer provides the detail about the businessman to show that_____.A.Dad had a strong sense of dutyB.Dad was an honest and reliable manC.Dad had a strong sense of honorD.Dad was a kind and generous man34.What surprised the children most when they received letters in reply from Santa Claus every year?A.Santa Claus lived alone in the cold North Pole.B.Santa Claus answered all their letters every year.C.Santa Claus had unique mailboxes for the children.D.Santa Claus had so much information about their families.35.Which of the following is the best title for the passage?A.The MailB.Christmas LettersC.Special MailboxesD.Memorable Travels第二节 (共5小题；每小题2分，满分10分)根据短文内容，从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。
