A second study,looking at nearly 1,000 grown-ups in New Zealand,found lower education levels among 26-year-olds who had watched lots of TV during childhood.But the results don't prove that TV is the cause and don't rule out that already poorly motivated youngsters() may watch lots of TV

One of the studies looked at nearly 400 northern California third-graders.Those with TVs in their bedrooms scored about eight points lower on math and language arts tests than children without bedroom TVs. A second study,looking at nearly 1,000 grown-ups in New Zealand,found lower education levels among 26-year-olds who had watched lots of TV during childhood.But the results don’t prove that TV is the cause and don’t rule out that already poorly motivated youngsters(年轻人) may watch lots of TV
Their study measured the TV habits of 26-year-olds between ages 5 and 15.Those with college degrees had watched an average of less than two hours of TV per weeknight during childhood.compared with an average of more than2hours for those who hadno education beyond high school. In the California study.children with TVs in their rooms but no computer at home scored the lowest,while those with no bedroom TV but home computers scored the highest. While this study does not prove that bedroom TV sets caused the lower scores,it adds to accumulating findings that children shouldn't have TVs in their bedrooms. 21.According to the California study,the low-scoring group might A.have watched a lot of TV B.not be interested in math C.be unable to go to college D.have had computers in their bedrooms 答案A 解析推理判断题。第二段中描述的对加利福尼亚北部接近400名三年级学生的研究发现,卧 室里有电视的学生要比卧室里没有电视的学生考试分数低8分左右。据此推断这些学生考 试分数低的原因可能是看电视太多。故选A项。 22.What can we learn from the last two paragraphs? A.More time should be spent on computers. B.Children should be forbidden from watching TV. C.TV sets shouldn't be allowed in children's bedrooms. D.Further studies on high-achieving students should be done 答案 解析细节理解题。倒数第二段提到卧室里有电视机,但家里没有电脑的孩子考试得分最低, 而卧室里没有电视机,但家里有电脑的孩子得分最高:最后一段的研究结论是这项研究虽然不 能证明是卧室内的电视机导致了孩子考试分数低,但为孩子卧室内不应该放电视机增加了证 据。据此判断不能在孩子卧室里放电视机。故选C项。 23.What would be the best title for this text? A.Computers or Television B.Effects of Television on Children C.Studies on TV and College Education D.Television and Children's Learning Habits 答案B 解析主旨大意题。第一段指出,几项有关电视对孩子的影响的研究结果表明:看电视过多会 对孩子的学习能力造成危害,甚至会减少孩子升入大学的机会。随后几段分别对几项具体调 查研究进行陈述,并针对观看电视与考试成绩、受教有程度之间的因果关系分别得出几个不 同的结论。概括全文可知,本文主要讲述的是电视对孩子的影响。故选B项。 B A food additive (is any substance that is added to food.Many people are put off by the idea of"chemicals in food".The truth is that all food is made up of chemicals.Natural substances like milk,as well as man-made ones like drinks on sale in the market,can be described by chemical formulas.Some chemical substances are indeed harmful,but a person who refused to consume any chemicals would find nothing to eat. The things we eat can be divided into natural and man-made substances.Some people feel that only natural foods are healthy and that all man-made ingredients are to be avoided.But many natural chemicals,found in plants and animals,are harmful when eaten,and some laboratory-made substances increase the nutritional value of food.Other chemicals have natural and man-made forms that are exactly alike:vitamin C is vitamin C,whether it comes from a test tube or from an orange..Like“chemical”,“man-made”doesn't necessarily mean“not fit to eat' Food additives are used for many reasons.We add sugar and salt and other things to foods we prepare at home to make them taste better.Food producers have developed a range of additives that stabilise,thicken,harden,keep wet,keep firm,or improve the appearance of their products.Additives can make food more convenient or nutritious,give it a longer shelf life

A.Computers or Television B.Effects of Television on Children C.Studies on TV and College Education D.Television and Children’s Learning Habits 答案 B 解析主旨大意题。第一段指出,几项有关电视对孩子的影响的研究结果表明:看电视过多会 对孩子的学习能力造成危害,甚至会减少孩子升入大学的机会。随后几段分别对几项具体调 查研究进行陈述,并针对观看电视与考试成绩、受教育程度之间的因果关系分别得出几个不 同的结论。概括全文可知,本文主要讲述的是电视对孩子的影响。故选 B 项。 B A food additive (添加剂) is any substance that is added to food.Many people are put off by the idea of “chemicals in food”.The truth is that all food is made up of chemicals.Natural substances like milk,as well as man-made ones like drinks on sale in the market,can be described by chemical formulas.Some chemical substances are indeed harmful,but a person who refused to consume any chemicals would find nothing to eat. The things we eat can be divided into natural and man-made substances.Some people feel that only natural foods are healthy and that all man-made ingredients are to be avoided.But many natural chemicals,found in plants and animals,are harmful when eaten,and some laboratory-made substances increase the nutritional value of food.Other chemicals have natural and man-made forms that are exactly alike:vitamin C is vitamin C,whether it comes from a test tube or from an orange.Like “chemical”,“man-made” doesn’t necessarily mean “not fit to eat”. Food additives are used for many reasons.We add sugar and salt and other things to foods we prepare at home to make them taste better.Food producers have developed a range of additives that stabilise,thicken,harden,keep wet,keep firm,or improve the appearance of their products.Additives can make food more convenient or nutritious, give it a longer shelf life (保质
),and make it more attractive to the consumers,thus increasing the sales and profits of the producers. Food additives are presently the centre of a storm of serious argument.Food producers have been known to use additives that have not been proved safe:some substances in common use have been proved unsafe and have been taken off the market.Many people feel there's a risk of eating food to which anything has been added.But food additives are now regulated by the government,and new additives will go through strict testing before they can be placed on the market.For most people,the chances of developing serious side effects()from the long-term use of presently approved(food additives are very small. 24.From the passage we can learn that_ A.natural foods are much safer than man-made ones B.it is right to refuse chemicals in food C.food additives are harmful to our health D.all foods have chemical substances 答案D 解析细节理解题。根据第一段第三句The truth is that all food is made up of chemicals..”和最 "Some chemical substances are indeed harmful,but a person who refused to consume any chemicals would find nothing to eat.”可知,所有食物都由化学物质组成,如果一个人拒绝食用任 何形式的化学物质,他会发现自己没有东西可吃。也就是说,所有食物都含有化学物质。故选 D项。 25.Which of the following is TRUE according to the passage? A.Food additives can improve the quality of foods in many ways B.To ensure food safety,the government will stop food additives. C.Foods free of additives can keep a much longer shelf life. D.Foods with more additives have higher nutritional value. 答案A 解析细节理解题。根据第三段可知,有的添加剂可以让食物的味道更好,有的可以改善产品 的外形,使产品更吸引消费者,更方便、更有营养。说明添加剂可以在很多方面提高食物的品 质。故选A项。 26.We can infer from the regulation to the food additives by the government that A.new additives will be approved more easily than before B.food with common-used additives will be taken off the market C.food additives will be used in a safer and more scientific way D.food producers won't be allowed to use new food additives 答案c 解析推理判断题。根据文章最后两句可知,食品添加剂受到政府的严格控制并经过严格的测 试后才可上市,所以目前被批准上市的添加剂对人的副作用会很小。故选C项。 27.According to the writer,the food additive is A.worrying B.acceptable C.poisonous D.avoidable 答案B 解析推理判断题。根据文章最后一段前两句可知,人们对食品添加剂有很多担心。但是根据 最后两句可知,食品添加剂受到政府的严格控制,要经过严格的测试后才能上市,对人的副作 用会很小。也就是说,作者认为食品添加剂还是可以接受的。故选B项。 How many hours do you spend sitting in a chair every day?Eight hours in the office plus three hours in front of the TV after work is the norm for many people. You probably don't need an expert to tell you that sitting too much is not good for your health-from an increased risk of heart disease and obesity in the long term,to reduced cholesterol (maintenance in the short term,not to mention the strain on your neck and spine
期),and make it more attractive to the consumers,thus increasing the sales and profits of the producers. Food additives are presently the centre of a storm of serious argument.Food producers have been known to use additives that have not been proved safe;some substances in common use have been proved unsafe and have been taken off the market.Many people feel there’s a risk of eating food to which anything has been added.But food additives are now regulated by the government,and new additives will go through strict testing before they can be placed on the market.For most people,the chances of developing serious side effects(副作用) from the long-term use of presently approved(批准) food additives are very small. 24.From the passage we can learn that . A.natural foods are much safer than man-made ones B.it is right to refuse chemicals in food C.food additives are harmful to our health D.all foods have chemical substances 答案 D 解析细节理解题。根据第一段第三句“The truth isthat all food is made up of chemicals.”和最 后一句“Some chemical substances are indeed harmful,but a person who refused to consume any chemicals would find nothing to eat.”可知,所有食物都由化学物质组成,如果一个人拒绝食用任 何形式的化学物质,他会发现自己没有东西可吃。也就是说,所有食物都含有化学物质。故选 D 项。 25.Which of the following is TRUE according to the passage?

You probably don’t need an expert to tell you that sitting too much is not good for your health — from an increased risk of heart disease and obesity in the long term,to reduced cholesterol (胆固醇) maintenance in the short term,not to mention the strain on your neck and spine
To make matters worse,many researches show a good diet and regular exercise can't reduce the negative effects of sitting too much. A 2010 study of nearly 9,000 Australians found that for each additional hour of television a person watched per day,the risk of dying rose by 11 percent.Another study tracked the health of 123,000 Americans between 1992 and 2006.The death rate for men who spent six hours or more per day sitting was about 20 percent higher than for men who sat for three hours or less. So what can we do about it?Health experts suggest we break up those many hours spent sitting with more hours spent standing. A project conducted a simple experiment with a group of 10 volunteers who usually spent most of the day sitting.They were asked to stand for at least three hours a day.The researchers took measurements on the days when the volunteers stood and when they sat around.When they looked at the data,there were some striking differences,the project reported. Blood sugar leveled off much more quickly on the days when the study subjects stood compared with the days they spent in a chair.Standing also burned more calories-about 50 calories an hour.A member said although doing exercise offers many proven benefits,our bodies also need the increase in muscle activity that standing provides. The researchers believe that even small adjustments,like standing while talking on the phone.will help. 28.The underlined word"norm"in paragraph 1 most probably means A.usual situation B.cause C.excuse D.reasonable explanation 答案A 解析词义猜测题。前面的How many hours do you spend sitting in a chair every day?”是提出 的问题,后面这句是做出的回答,本句话的意思为“对很多人来说,上班时坐上个八小时,下班后 看电视时再坐上个三小时是常有的事”。 29.What bad effect does sitting too much have? A.A low risk of heart disease. B.Becoming too fat. C.Balanced cholesterol maintenance D.Benefiting your neck and spine. 答案B 解析细节理解题。由第二段内容可知,从长期来看,久坐会增加心脏病发病率并导致肥胖;从 短期来说,则不利于维持胆固醇水平;更不用说它会压迫颈椎和脊椎这,点了。 30.What's the main idea of paragraph 4? A.Sitting is killing us. B.We should have a good diet. C.Watching TV does us no good. D.Women have higher death rate than men 答案A 解析段落大意题。通过阅读第四段可知,每天多看1小时电视,死亡风险就会增加11%,每天 有6小时或更长时间坐着的男性,其死亡率比每天只有3小时或更少时间坐着的男性高出 20%。换句话说,我们正在“坐以待毙”。 31.What is the purpose of the experiment in the text? A.To help the 10 volunteers to lose weight. B.To find out the difference between standing and sitting. C.To prove the benefit of standing. D.To teach us how to control blood sugar. 答案c 解析细节理解题。由倒数第二段内容可知,站立对人们很有好处。 D Developing healthy eating habits starts from childhood,therefore it is important for parents to teach and provide children with a healthy diet.DPHSS administrator of the Bureau of Nutrition

Services,Charlie Morris told a news reporter,"A healthy diet for a child consists of a lot of fruit and vegetables in the diet limiting the amount of simple sugars in the diet and high fat food and highly processed(加工的)food.' This means staying away as much as possible from food such as chips,cookies,candies and sugary drinks,as all children need to have meals which involve a well-balanced diet.Community nutritionist(营养学家)Thelma Romoso said,“The fruit,.the vegetable,the grain,the protein,and also the milk,the diary product should all be involved in a daily diet.And for fruit and vegetables, it's easy for a mother to go into the two plus three concept (also known as 'five-a-day concept)." This concept means that there are at least two servings of fruits a day,three servings of vegetables a day which can be served for lunch and dinner.As for protein,parents can make a variety of dishes from chicken,beef,fish or even dried beans to make sure the child gets three servings a day. Morris said that the child's hunger level controls how much is eaten and the parent controls what and when the meal is offered,saying,"Mum needs to ensure that the food offered is good for the child to eat and throughout the day depending on how active they are.snacks are not a bad thing,so the mum should offer good kinds of snacks." When it comes to preparing your child's lunch and snacks for school,make sure to keep in mind that the food you provide should not only be a source of energy but also be nutritionally beneficial such as fresh fruits and whole grain bread.But parents must be sure to remember that a good nutritional diet must be balanced with physical activity,namely it is important that children get outside,run around,play and get activity in addition to eating a good diet. 32.What does the author intend to tell us in the text? A.Choose healthy food and snacks for your child B.Fruit and vegetables are good for your child. C.Take steps to provide a good lunch for your child.
