Your body,which has close relations with the food you eat,is the most important thing you own,so it needs proper treatment and proper nourishment.The old saying “An apple a day keeps the doctor away”is not as silly as some people think.The body needs fruit and vegetables because they contain vitamin C.Many people take extra vitamins in pill form,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?

解析:考查情景交际。

You are joking“你在开玩笑”;That’s true“那是真的”;I don’t think so“我认为不是这样”;It sounds like fun“听起来像一件有趣的事”。

24.He was sentenced to death what he had done against law.
A.that
B.since

D.because of
解析:一般说来,because作为从属连词,用以引导原因状语从句时,其后应是一个不含有引导词的句子,而不能是what引导的从句。

另一方面,本题中的what he had done against law=the thing(s)that he had done against law,也就是说,这个what从句从本质上说相当于一个名词,所以此题应选because of。

答案:D

A.good
B.better

29.(2014江西,28)Among the many dangers sailors have to face,probably the greatest of all is fog.
A.which
B.what
C.where
D.when

答案:B
32.In order to look after his sick mother at home,Mr Brown would risk his job.

A
How do you know if the perfect house you have found is in the perfect neighborhood?When driving by on a sunny Sunday afternoon,you cannot see the true nature of the area.All too often people will fall in love with a house without taking the nearby area into consideration.This can lead to serious problems and cause you to regret the decision to buy.
Before buying a house it is wise to do some research on the area it is located in.Do you know what the crime rate is for the area?How are the schools?What is the average age of your neighbors?Is there a “party house” next
door?Does the quiet street turn into a busy shortcut(近路)during the rush hour?Is there a known drug house?These things should all be considered before a final decision is made.
Making several visits to the house at various times and on different days can help you know a lot about the area.Sit in front of the house with your windows rolled down and just listen to the activity,take a walk around the block and pay attention to the sights,sounds,and smells.Be sure to go to judge how loud things can get on a weekend evening.
You will also need to find out if the neighborhood is improving or on the decline(下降).Are stores and services closing or have new businesses been opening up?These are things that will affect the resale value of your house.Also check with local governments to discover if any developments are planned for the area.
The best advice is not to let your heart rule your head.Do your homework,and make sure your dream house is in your dream neighborhood.
56According to the first paragraph,why do people regret buying their house?
A.The house cost them too much money.
B.The quality of their house is not good.
C.The neighbors are hard to get along with.
D.The neighborhood is not satisfying.

答案:B
60.B
Failure is probably the most fatiguing(令人疲劳) experience a person ever has.There is nothing more tired than not succeeding,being blocked,not moving ahead.It is an evil circle.Failure causes fatigue,and fatigue makes it harder to get to work,which adds to the fatigue.
We experience this tiredness in two main ways:start-up fatigue and performance fatigue.In the former case,we keep putting off a task that we are forced to take up.Either because it is too boring or because it is too difficult,we avoid it.And the longer we put it off,the more tired we feel.
Such start-up fatigue is very real,although not actually physical,not something in our muscles and bones.The cure is obvious,though perhaps not easy to apply:willpower exercise.The moment I find myself turning away from a job,or putting it under a pile of things I have to do,I clear my desk of everything else and attack the difficult item first.To prevent start-up fatigue,always treat the most difficult job first.
Performance fatigue is more difficult to handle.Here we are willing to get started,but we can’t seem to do the job right.Its difficulties appear to be insurmountable and however hard we work,we fail again and again.The mounting experience of failure carries with it an ever-increasing burden of mental fatigue.In such a situation,I work as hard as I can,and then let the unconsciousness take over.
60Which of the following can be called an evil circle?
A.Success→tiredness→success→tiredness.
B.Failure→tiredness→failure→tiredness.
C.Failure→success→failure→success.
D.Success→failure→success→failure.
解析:根据第一段内容“Failure causes fatigue,and fatigue makes it harder to get to work,which adds to the fatigue.”可知答案。

答案:B
61.According to the passage,when keeping putting off a task,we can experience .
A.failure
B.performance fatigue
C.start-up fatigue
D.unconsciousness
解析:根据第二段中“In the former case,we keep putting off a task that we are forced to take up.”可知答案,其中的the former指的即是start-up fatigue。

答案:C
62.To overcome start-up fatigue,we need .
A.doing exercise
B.prevention
C.strong muscles
D.strong willpower
解析:根据第三段中“The cure is obvious,though perhaps not easy to apply:willpower exercise.”一句可知答案。

答案:D
63.The underlined word “insurmountable”(in the last paragraph)probably means “”.
A.too difficult to overcome
B.easy to understand
C.imaginary
D.known to everyone
解析:根据该词所在句子的后一部分“...and however hard we work,we fail again and again.”可知该词词义与“难以克服”相近。

答案:A
64.C
Recently I came in contact with the true meaning of love.That would have been,Kane,a boy.Kane was the two-year-old son of Jolene,my new neighbor.
At a glance Kane was a sight.He’d been born with hard sticks for legs.And on that morning I witnessed the effect that Kane’s physical shortcomings had on his family.But I also witnessed much more than that.
I saw an extraordinary family that embraced this special child.A family that wouldn’t allow Kane to know he was different.Jolene had constructed a small cart just a few inches off the floor for his son to get ing his hands to move about,Kane moved the cart to “go to” any plac e just as everyone else was able to do.Kane worked that little cart like a master.Kane was a vital focus of the entire family.He was more than just a member of the family;he was the soul.This child was the driver,the motivator,and the founder of much of the interaction.
Much later in my life,I came to realize that God had sent this child to help some of us who just weren’t getting what love was all about.Even with my limited capacity for understanding at the time that Kane was a highly developed spirit with great wisdom.
Kane demanded attention,but not because of his mobility challenges or other apparent shortcomings.In his mind,he had no challenges or shortcomings.The truth is that he received attention because he was alive and real and had so much to offer.
Kane was and still is a lot of warm and powerful energy sent to us all,so we might learn that love surpasses all things.Kane,a fragile yet lovely baby,was here to teach us all an important lesson.And at the age of two he did just that. 64How did the auth or think of Kane’s family members?
A.They were strange because they locked Kane at home.
B.It was respectable for them to start their own business.
C.It was ridiculous for them to make a cart for Kane.
D.They were greatly brave to face all the difficulties.
解析:推理判断题。

根据第三段,特别是最后三句话可知,凯恩是整个家庭的关注点和灵魂,家里人是他的协助者,一家人都能勇敢地面对所有的困难。

答案:D

Good basic table manners are important because it’s certain that both guests and hosts are comfortable at the table.Following these will carry you through most common situations.
.No one likes to see a ball of meat in your mouth.If you feel you must speak immediately,if you have only a small bite,tuck(卷起) it into your cheek with your tongue and speak briefly.
Chew quietly,and try not to slurp.Making noises is not only unappetizing(引不起食欲),but it can also interrupt the flow of conversation.
Keep bites small.In order to obey the above rules it is smart to keep bite sizes proper.Cut meat and salad so that it doesn’t hang from your mouth.Don’t cut all of your meat at one time,because this tends to remind people of feeding small children.
Eat at a leisurely(悠闲地) pace.This rule,besides being good for yourself,also shows your host that you want to enjoy the food.Eating quickly is a sign of disrespect for the host,as it shows that your focus is on the food.
Excuse yourself when leaving the table.If you must leave the table,make your excuses somewhat obvious,and appear to be pressing to prove that there is something urgent must be dealt with at once.
Praise the cook.Even if the food is not delicious,say something nice.You can find the positive side of the burnt leg of lamb...“Gee,the sauce was sure tasty.” It is always pleasant to end a meal with a positive note.

Parker Liautaud,a teenage student,is preparing for an expedition(探险) to the South Pole.The 19-year-old is now training for a 640-kilometre journey from the Antarctic coast to the South Pole.If he successfully makes the journey in 22 days as planned,he will break the speed record for the fastest trip from the continent’s coast to the South Pole on foot.He would also be the youngest male to reach the goal,although a younger female once did it in the past.
Parker says he was motivated by the opportunity to raise awareness about climate change,rather than pushing his own physical limits.Citing(提及) Ben Saunders,the British explorer who recently made an expedition to the South Pole and back,as an inspiring influence in his physical preparation,he said,“Training is something I used to feel very out of place doing,but now I feel very confident about my ability to get from A to B physically.”
Given that background and a t raining schedule involving two or three hours’ preparation a day,he might be expected to take a hiatus from his studies at Yale University.However,he is continuing his course in geology and geophysics,until he heads out to the Antarctic next month.While in Antarctica,he will be carrying out tests to help show how the climate is changing,including testing a lightweight weather station for the first time on the continent.
Parker admitted feeling anxious about the journey,which he is carrying out with his partner Doug Stoup and is expected to complete in less than a month,but he said,“The best way to respond to pressure is to be as well-prepared as humanly possible.”
