【语篇导读】 本文是一篇说明文。不良的饮食习惯给人们带来了很多危害，因此作者呼吁大家要养成健康的饮食习惯。
1．becoming [考查动词的用法。与前面的“are spending”构成并列谓语，故用－ing形式。]
2．beneficial [考查固定搭配的用法。谓语动词为系动词be，故用形容词作be no beneficial to”意思是“对……无益”。]
3．what [考查关系词的用法。句意：当我们购买了现成的或提前准备好的食物时，我们很难清楚地知道我们吃的到底是什么。know后面的宾语从句中缺少宾语，故填what。]
4．more [考查比较级的用法。根据后面的than这个词，可知要用形容词的比较级。]
5．to make [
6．changes [考查动词时态的用法。the number of 意思是“……的数目”。“The number of＋复数名词”作主语时，谓语动词用单数。]
7．on [考查固定搭配的用法。on the other hand 为固定搭配，意思是“另一方面”。]
8．weight [考put on后面缺少宾语，应当变成名词。“put on weight”是“增肥”的意思。]
9．a [考查冠词的用法。live a happy life“过着幸福的生活”，这是固定词组。]
10．balanced [考查形容词的用法。修饰名词diet要用形容词，balanced意思是“均衡的”。]
Ⅰ.阅读理解
A
Like many people you may be dreaming of a career as a rock and roll star. There are two ways to go about getting one. First there is the traditional way. Find some friends and form a group. Learn to play the guitar or the drums. Write your own songs. Spend hours arguing about the band name. Then go on the road.
The next step is to spend a year or two touring. If you are good, the crowds will get bigger. In the end an artist from a record company may come to a show. If he or she likes you，there may be a deal. This is the route traditionally followed by bands in the music industry. Success means fame and wealth. And failure gives you some interesting stories to tell your children.
Over the last few years a different path to success has become known. Boy bands like Boyzone and girl bands like the Spice Girls don't come together on their own.They are created by managers and record companies.Their image is strictly controlled. Professional song writers usually write their music. This is a convenient arrangement and the public seems to love the result.
Though boy and girl bands have become very popular recently，there is a long tradition of making music in this way. In the early 1960's an American businessman called Berry Gordy founded Motown Records. Motown is short for “motor town”. The record company was based in the city of Detroit, where thousands of AfricanAmericans had moved to work in the car industry. They brought with them a cultural tradition of writing and performing music. This style later became known as “soul music”. Berry Gordy was a diamond miner. He took raw talent from the street and polished it until it shone. Motown stars were not just given songs to sing. They were also taught how to dress well and speak properly.
1．In the first paragraph the writer seems to tell us ________.
A. to form a band is very hard
B. the name of the band is very important
C. newlybuilt bands can only perform by road
D. to form a band is very simple
答案：D 推断题。依据第一段中“First...”所在的句子可看出作者认为组成一个乐队非常简单。
2．If a newborn band wants to succeed, as the writer tells, it must have the chance________.
A. to travel in big cities
B. to perform before an artist
C. to make an agreement with a record company
D. to experience failure again and again
答案：C 细节题。根据第二段中“In the end an artist from a record company may come to a show. If he or she likes you, there may be a deal.”可知C项正确。
3．From the fourth paragraph，we can conclude that ________.
A. Motown was only enjoyed by the workers in Detroit
B. Motown showed the style of the black Americans
C. Detroit used to be famous for its music industry
D. Detroit was founded by AfricanAmericans
答案：B 细节题。依据该段中“.. where thousands of AfricanAmericans had moved to work in the car industry.”而确定选B项。
4．From the passage, we can learn that Motown stars________.
A. used to be miners
B. used to dress poorly
C. became perfect little by little
D. came from Berry Gordy's hometown
答案：C 推理判断题。根据最后一段中“He took raw talent from the street and polished it until it shone.”可知C项是最佳选项。
B
Perhaps you think you could easily add to your happiness with more money.Strange as it may seem, if you're unsatisfied, the issue is not a lack of means to meet your desires but a lack of desires — not that you cannot satisfy your tastes but that you don't have enough tastes.
Real riches consist of welldeveloped and hearty capacities
to enjoy life.Most people are already swamped (淹没) with things.They eat, wear, go and talk too much.They_live_in_too_big_a_house_with_too_many_rooms,_yet_their_house_of_life_is_a_hut.
Your house of life ought to be a mansion (豪宅), a royal palace.Every new taste, every additional interest, every fresh enthusiasm adds a room.Here are several rooms your house of life should have.
Art should be a desire for you to develop simply because the world is full of beautiful things.If you only understood how to enjoy them and feed your spirit on them, they would make you as happy as to find plenty of ham and eggs when you're hungry.
Literature, classic literature, is a beautiful, richly furnished room where you might find many an hour of rest and refreshment.To gain that love would go toward making you a rich person, for a rich person is not someone who has a library but who likes a library.
Music like Mozart's and Bach's shouldn't be absent.Real riches are of the spirit.And when you've brought that spirit up to where classical music feeds it and makes you a little drunk, you have increased your thrills and bettered them.And life is a matter of thrills.
Sports, without which you remain poor, mean a lot in life.No matter who you are, you would be more human, and your house of life would be better supported against the bad days, if you could, and did, play a bit.
Whatever rooms you might add to your house of life, the secret of enjoying life is to keep adding.
1.The author intends to tell us that________.
A.true happiness lies in achieving wealth by fair means
B.big houses are people's most valued possessions
C.big houses can in a sense bring richness of life
D.true happiness comes from spiritual riches
2.The underlined sentence in the second paragraph probably implies that________.
A.however materially rich, they never seem to be satisfied
B.however materially rich, they remain spiritually poor
C.though their house is big, they prefer a simple life
D.though their house is big, it seems to be a cage
3.It can be learned from the passage that________.
A.more money brings more happiness
B.art is needed to make your house beautiful
C.literature can enrich your spiritual life
D.sports contribute mainly to your physical fitness
4.What would be the best title for the passage?
A.House of Life
B.Secret of Wealth
C.Rest and Refreshment
D.Interest and Enthusiasm

(2016·郑州质量预测) In all the world's cultures, people sing, play instruments, and celebrate with music.It plays such an important role in our lives that all fields focus on its study, including one looking at the biology of music.Experts are finding that because of the way our brains process music, learning to play an instrument or just listening to music can have a wide range of benefits.
Music education has received a lot of attention.Learning to play an instrument can help children improve math, science, and language skills.One study in Canada tracked children's IQ scores for nine months, discovering that children who studied music had the biggest test score improvements.The secret may lie in the way reading music and playing notes uses several areas of the brain, increasing our ability to learn school subjects.For example, reading notes improves spatial reasoning skills, which are helpful in solving math problems like fractions.
Music is also used for medical purposes, such as the treatment of diseases which affect memory.The secret lies in the way the brain processes music.One area near the forehead, the medial prefrontal cortex, connects music with memories stored in two other areas：the amygdale and hippocampus.That's why an old song can remind you of something that happened years ago.For patients suffering from diseases like Alzheimer's, listening to music can help unlock buried memories by strengthening musical pathways to memories.
With the evidence of music's benefits pouring in, it's no wonder some countries make music study a part of their education systems.People are recognizing that more than just a form of entertainment, music is also great for the brain.
