(2016·烟台一诊)
Certain foods can be fooling you. What you might believe is __16__ in fact contains ingredients (成分) which are terrible for you. With so much __17__ available on what's healthy and what isn't, it's easy to get __18__ what you should and what you shouldn't be eating.
You've gotten into the habit of __19__ food labels. You check the dairy items, biscuits and microwave meals for __20__ like “low fat”，“reduced fat” or “no fat” and you __21__ your shopping bag with them. __22__ it right there. Just having a “fat free” label doesn't make it any healthier—in fact it's probably much __23__ for you.
Nuts are healthy but they aren't all created __24__. If you're eating almonds (杏仁) or brazil nuts—well done, they are good for you. Peanuts on the other hand are not your __25__. They probably have the least nutritional (营养的) __26__ from the entire nut family. If you do __27__ them, try to reduce the quantity.
Fruit juice is another dangerous one. Most fruit juice contains too much __28__. Check the ingredients section on the bottle. If sugar is at the top of the list, it's a bad sign. Ingredients are __29__ from highest quantity to least. Put the juice back on the __30__ if sugar is in the top five ingredients. Try to make your own at home with a juice maker and fresh fruit—you can even __31__ vegetables for more nutritional value.
Dried fruit is __32__ classed as “healthy food”. It is and it isn't. A handful of dried fruit is much better than a bar of chocolate. But __33__ too much dried fruit on a daily basis is only going to increase your sugar intake.
Whatever you __34__ to consume, make sure you do it in moderation (适量). Stick to a __35__ diet and you'll stay healthy.
作者向读者说明怎样才能做到健康饮食。
16．A.cheap

C．experience
D．progress
答案：B 此处是指现在有如此多的关于是否是健康食品的信息(information)。
18．A.confused about
B．satisfied with
C．familiar with
D．shocked at
答案：A 根据语境可知，信息多了，说什么的也有，应该会很容易对该吃什么、不该吃什么感到困惑。be confused about表示“对……感到困惑”。
19．A.collecting
B．attaching
C．reading
D．removing
答案：C 由下一句中的“low fat”，“reduced fat” or “no fat”等标签上的文字可知，此处是指你已经养成了“阅读”食品标签的习惯。
20．A.facts
B．things
C．comments
D．words
答案：D 由空后的举例可知，这里是指检查奶制品、饼干和微波食品上标注的像“低脂”、“减脂”或“无脂”这样的文字(word)。
21．A.cover
B．fill
C．press
D．support
答案：B 根据常理可知，当你看到这些内容后你会把这些食品放进你的购物袋。fill sth. with sth.意为“用某物装满某物”。
22．A.Hold
B．List
C．Admire
D．Accept
答案：A 由下一句可知，单单有个“脱脂”的标签并不代表它就更健康。由此判断，作者是让我们停止往购物袋中装这类食品的行为，就此打住。hold可表示使某物保持在某种位置上。
23．A.greater
B．richer
C．worse
D．heavier
答案：C 空前的in fact说明这里是对破折号前内容的补充说明。这种食品不单可能不会更健康，而且还可能对你的危害更大，故用worse符合语境。
24．A.tightly

C．compare
D．produce
答案：A 因为它的营养价值低，所以如果你确实爱吃花生，那么一定要减少数量。此处用enjoy符合语境。

D．plant
答案：C 在家里自制果汁的时候，为了使果汁有更丰富的营养价值，你还可以加(add)一些蔬菜进去。

A
(2016·保定一调)
If your preschoolers turn up their noses at carrots or celery, a small reward like a sticker for taking even a taste may help get them to eat previously disliked foods, a UK study said.
Though it might seem obvious that a reward could encourage young children to eat their vegetables, the idea is actually controversial, researchers wrote in the American Journal of Clinical Nutrition. That's because some studies have shown that rewards can backfire and cause children to lose interest in foods they already liked, said Jane Wardle, a researcher at University College London who worked on the study. Verbal praise, such as “Brilliant! You're a great vegetable taster，” did not work as well.
The study found that when parents gave their small children a sticker each time they took a “tiny taste” of a disliked vegetable, it gradually changed their attitudes. The children were also willing to eat more of the vegetables—either carrots, celery, cucumber, red pepper, cabbage or sugar snap peas—in laboratory taste tests, the study said.
Researchers randomly assigned (分派) 173 families to one of these groups. In one, parents used stickers to reward their children each time they took a tiny sample of a disliked vegetable. A second group of parents used verbal praise. The third group, where parents used no special vegetablepromoting methods, served as a “control”．
Parents in the reward groups offered their children a taste of the “target” vegetable every day of 12 days. Soon after, children in the sticker group were giving higher ratings to the vegetables and were willing to eat more in the research lab, going from an average of 5 grams at the start to about 10 grams after the 12day experience. The turnaround also seemed to last, with preschoolers in the sticker group still willing to eat more of the once disliked vegetable three months later.
Why didn't the verbal praise work? Wardle said the parents' words may have seemed “insincere” to their children.
本文是说明文。一项英国研究表明，如果学龄前孩子不愿吃蔬菜，只要他们尝尝味道，就给他们一些小奖励，或许可以帮助孩子吃下原本不想吃的食物。
36．The purpose of writing the passage is ________.
A．to introduce a practical method of making children eat vegetables
B．to show the procedure of an experiment on children's diet
C．to explain why children hate to eat vegetables
D．to present a proper way of vernal praise to parents
答案：A 目的意图题。文章旨在介绍一种帮助孩子吃下蔬菜的方法，由第一段可知A项正确。
37．The underlined word “backfire” in Paragraph 2 probably means
“________”．
A．shoot from behind the back
B．make a fire in the backyard
C．produce an unexpected result
D．achieve what was planned
答案：C 词义推测题。由后文“and cause children to lose interest in foods they already liked”可知，画线词应是含有贬义色彩的词，排除D项；A、B两项不符合句意，只有C项符合。backfire意为“适得其反，事与愿违”。
38．According to the passage，which of the following statements is true?
A．Most children are born to dislike carrots or celery.
B．It remains a question whether rewarding is a good way to get children to eat vegetables.
C．Oral praise works quite well in encouraging children to eat vegetables.
D．Children in the sticker group will never lose interest in eating vegetables.
答案：B 是非判断题。由第二段中的“the idea is actually controversial”可知B项正确。A、D两项无依据，C项与原文相悖。
39．How did the researchers get their conclusion from the experiment?
A．By comparison.
B．By asking questions.
C．By giving examples.
D．By discussion.
答案：A 推理判断题。由后三段可看出，研究人员是通过对三组试验的结果进行对比得出的结论，因此选A项。
40．What can we learn from the last paragraph?
A．Children like rewards, not verbal praise.
B．Parents should praise their children in a sincere tone.
C．Children are difficult to inspire.
D．Parents should give up verbal praise.
答案：B 推理判断题。最后一段提出，口头赞美之所以无效，是因为孩子可能觉得爸妈说的话“不真诚”。据此推知，父母应该用真诚的语气来赞美孩子，故B项正确。
B
(2016·皖南八校第二次联考)
Famous centenarians (百岁老人) still active in arts, science are in no mood to retire. “Those who stand still, die，” is one of Oliveira's favorite phrases. He knows from experience what it means, as the Portuguese film director has reached the age of 102 and is still active in his profession. Every year, Oliveira shoots a film and is currently working on his next project. “You have to work ，work, work in order to forget that death is not far away，” he said. When asked about his age, Oliveira said with some humility: “It's down to mother nature. It gave to me what it took from others.”
Being both mentally and physically fit in old age is partly a matter of luck, but it also has something to do with character. Not every whitehaired person is wise and social skills, openness and the ability to train the brain are essential for senior citizens.
Along with the architect Oscar Niemeyer (103), Nobel laureate Montalcini (101) and director Kurt Maetzig (100), Oliveira is one of those people of whom it would be very wrong to think as members of a listless elderly generation.
Another master in his profession is the architect Oscar Niemeyer. The 103yearold Brazilian is best known for his futuristiclooking buildings in Brasilia, but he also speaks out on behalf of the poor. “The role of the architect is to struggle for a better world where we can develop a form of architecture that serves everyone and not just a privileged few，” said Niemeyer recently. He spends almost every day working in his office in Copacabana, and even when he falls ill he keeps working on ideas: After a gallbladder (胆囊) operation he composed a samba tune (桑巴舞曲) in the clinic.
Another man who could sing a song about age is 107yearold Heesters. The Dutchborn opera singer spent most of his life performing in Germany，where he still works. Recently Heesters said: “I want to be at least 108yearold.” He also plans to keep performing. “Should_I_just_sit_at_home_and_wait_until_they_come_and_pick_me_up？” Heesters has not given up trying to add to his tally of awards and is looking for a “good stage role”．
Italian scientist Rita LeviMontalcini, who is 101yearold and is still active in medical science, has described the force that keeps driving her on: “Progress is created through imperfection.” In 1986 she and her lab colleague were awarded the Nobel Prize for Medicine for their work on nerve growth factor. She's convinced that humans grow on challenges.
With so many brilliant examples given, we can see clearly that age is no barrier to some high achievers.
本文是一篇夹叙夹议的文章，主要讲述了一些百岁老人仍乐观积极，且坚持工作取得了成绩，从而使我们明白这样一个道理：年龄不是取得成功的障碍。
41．From the first two paragraphs, we can see ________.
A．being active at 102 is achievable for everybody
B．Oliveira owes his long life to his mother's help
C．being fit in old age is a matter of luck and character
D．social skills and wisdom are difficult for the senior
答案：C 细节理解题。由第二段第一句“Being both mentally and physically fit in old age is partly a matter of luck, but it also has something to do with character.”可知，年老的时候还能保持健康既是一个人的幸运，同时也跟一个人的性格有关系，故选C项。
42．How many centenarians are mentioned in this passage?
A．4.
B．5.
C．6.
D．7.
答案：B 细节理解题。文章一共提到了五位长寿老人，分别是：Oliveira (102), Oscar Niemeyer (103), Montalcini (101), Kurt Maetzig (100), Heesters (107)。
43．By saying “Should I just sit at home and wait until they come and pick me up？” in Paragraph 5, Hessters shows us he ________.
A．wants to sit or lie in comfort
B．is waiting for people to pick him up
C．is willing to work till he dies
D．prefers to give performance at home
答案：C 句意理解题。由此句的上下文可知他还是愿意继续表演，不希望在家里休息。此句引用他的原话就是在说明他的人生态度：生命不息，工作不止。故答案为C项。
44．In the passage so many examples were given to show ________.
A．old age is a big problem if you want to succeed
B．as a senior citizen, you have to be openminded and optimistic
C．old people should never think of themselves as old
D．old age can not prevent a great person from achieving a lot
答案：D 推理判断题。由文章的最后一句可知对于一些成功者来说年龄绝对不是障碍，因此不能因为年龄而放弃努力。故推断D项为正确答案。
45．In the writer's opinion, the architect Oscar Niemeyer is not ________.
A．intelligent
B．pessimistic
C．positive
D．diligent
答案：B 观点态度题。由第四段最后一句“... even when he falls ill he keeps working on ideas... in the clinic.”可知Oscar Niemeyer非常乐观，不是一个悲观的人，故答案为B项。
C
(2016·江苏无锡质检)
Connie Lau despises smoking. “It smells awful, and it's so bad for you，” she tells Choices. “It breaks my heart to see my friends smoking. I try to get them to quit.”
So why does Connie walk into convenience stores and try to buy cigarettes? She is testing to see if stores will sell cigarettes to a minor—a kid who is younger than 18. “You have to be 18 to purchase cigarettes, and I'm 16, so if they sell them to me, they're breaking the law，” Connie says.
Connie isn't a vigilante (民间护法者); she works with the local police in her town of Castro Valley, California. Officers drive her to stores, and she goes in alone to try to buy cigarettes. If the person behind the counter sells her a pack, an officer will come in and write the business a ticket for breaking the law.
Most stores obey the law and don't sell her cigarettes. The law requires that customers show ID if store employees ask them to. “When they ask your age, you can't lie，” Connie says. “Most stores don't sell to me. In a year, we've visited almost 150 stores and had only 15 sales.”
Working undercover can be scary, even with the police nearby. Connie said one cashier refused to sell her cigarettes and then got angry when he found out her age. He threatened to call the authorities. “To calm him down, the police went in to explain that I was undercover，” she says.
Most teens wouldn't think of going undercover for the police. What's Connie's motivation? For starters, she can't stand smoking. But she also believes it's important for young people like her to try to make a real impact in their communities. In her view, teens can do more than get good grades in school, do chores at home, and excel in extracurricular activities.
Every time she stops the sale of cigarettes to minors, she's helping to uphold the law. “A single teenager can make a big difference，” Connie says. “For the most part, when stores get caught, they will learn their lessons and won't do it again.”
本文主要讲述了Connie Lau为了阻止商店向18岁以下的孩子卖烟而当卧底的故事。
46．The underlined word “despises” in the first paragraph means “________”．
A．discovers
B．dislikes
C．smells
D．forbids

A．discover whether stores can sell cigarettes to kids

D．arrest the smokers
答案：A 细节理解题。根据第二段中的“She is testing to see if stores will sell cigarettes to a minor—a kid who is younger than 18.”可知，A项正确。

A．The owner would be arrested.
B．The owner would be fined.
C．The kids would be punished.
D．The kids would be removed from school.
答案：B 细节理解题。根据第三段中的“an officer will come in and write the business a ticket for breaking the law.”可知，B项正确。
49．One reason why Connie works undercover is that ________.
A．Connie wants more smokers to quit smoking
B．Connie wants to get good grades in school
C．Connie hopes to make a difference in the communities
D．Connie hopes to be excellent in extracurricular activities
答案：C 细节理解题。根据倒数第二段中的“But she also believes it's important for young people like her to try to make a real impact in their communities.”可知，C项正确。

(2016·湖南十二校第一次联考)
Johann Sebastian Bach was born in Germany in 1685. Being a member of a large family of musicians, he naturally grew up loving music. His father played the violin, and his brothers played other musical instruments.
When he was 10, both of his parents died. He went to live with his brother, who taught him to play the harpsichord and organ. As he grew older, he became more and more interested in music. While studying at school, he also sang in the school choir.
At 22 he married his cousin Maria, and they had seven children. By the time he was 32, he had composed much of his best music, including The Brandenburg Concertos.
After his first wife had died in 1720, Bach remarried and had thirteen more children. By the time Bach died in 1750, he had taught all his children to play musical instruments and several had already become wellknown musicians.
George Gershwin was born in New York in 1898. By the age of fourteen, he had taken piano lessons with five teachers and had learned to play better than all of them. While studying, he fell in love with classical and jazz music and began to compose music and write songs.
When Gershwin was fifteen, he had to leave school and worked in a music company for the family.
While he was working there,
he met many famous musicians.
George became the most famous American composer and songwriter of the 1920s and 1930s. By the time he was 38, he had written An American in Paris, which many people think is his best work for orchestra. He had also composed Shall We Dance. Having become rich and famous, he wrote Our Love Is Here to Stay in 1937. This was one of his best songs, but also one of his last songs. In the summer of 1937, while working in Hollywood, he became ill and died of cancer at the age of 39.

had burnt himself before. A really fearless soldier is not a good soldier because he will soon be killed; and a dead soldier is
of no use to his army. Fear and pain are therefore two guards without which human beings and animals might soon die out.
[2]In our first sentence we suggested that fear should be properly used. If, for example, you never go out of your
house because of the danger of being knocked down and killed in the street by a car, you are letting fear rule you too
much. Even in your house you are not absolutely safe：A plane may crash on your house，or you may get cancer!
[3]The important thing is not to let fear rule you, but to use fear as your servant and guide instead. Fear will warn
you of dangers；then you have to decide what action to take.
[4]In many cases, you can take quick and successful action to avoid the danger. For example，you see a car coming
straight towards you. Fear warns you, then you jump out of the way, and all is well.
[5]In some cases, however, you decide that there is nothing that you can do to ________. For example，you can't prevent a plane crashing onto your house. In this case, fear is no longer of any use, and you have to try to overcome it.
