(2017·威海高考模拟)
Behind the traffic noise and modernday confusion on Stoney Creek Road in Bexley lies a small but amazing piece of history.Just a century ago，Mr Harold Chapman Snr.founded Sydney’s Famous Original Doll Hospital and，although the Hospital has relocated several times，you cannot help but get a sense of days gone by when you walk through the doors.
In 1913 Sydney’s first Doll Hospital was opened in Beamish Street.Campsie by Mr Harold Chapman Snr as part of his General Store，all beginning from a simple shipping accident.Harold’s brother was in the business of importing dolls from Japan and during the shipping process the rubber bands holding the dolls together would go rotten and it was Harold who found a way to repair them.From such a small beginning grew quite a successful business as demand for doll repairs increased.
The business was taken over in the 1930’s by Harold’s son，also Harold Chapman who relocated the Doll Hospital to Her Majesty’s Arcade in Sydney where the business expanded.The real boom came in 1939 with World War Ⅱ
and the extreme restrictions on production and import.Suddenly new dolls were no longer an option so little children had to have their “best friends” lovingly repaired.
In 1968 the Doll Hospital moved to its present location.It is now run by Mr Geoff Chapman，Harold Jnr’s son.The Hospital is not only in its third generation of owners，but also its third generation of “doctors”，the skills and knowledge being passed down through the family of repairers.
Flipping through the “Before and After” photo album，you can see just how many wonderful repairs have been carried out and you can just imagine the stories behind them.It is estimated that the Doll Hospital has treated over 2.5 million “patients” so far—that’s a lot of childhood memories revived!
1．The Doll Hospital gives visitors a sense of days gone by possibly because ________.
A．the buildings are of ageold appearance
B．the design of the doors suggests old times
C．they have already known the Hospital’s story
D．what they see reminds them of their childhood
2．Early in 1910s Harold’ brother________.

4．Judging from the article，________during World War Ⅱ.
A．most people couldn’t afford new dolls

[1]Would you eat a ready meal from the fridge rather than cook by yourself？Have you been doing Internet shopping rather than going to the stores？What can’t you be bothered to do？A study into how lazy British people are has found more than half of adults are so lazy they’d catch the lift rather than climb two flights of stairs.
[2]Just over 2,000 people were quizzed by independent researchers at Nuffield Health，Britain’s largest health organization.The results were astonishing.About one in six people surveyed said if their remote control was broken，they would continue watching the same channel rather than get up.More than one third of those questioned said they would not run to catch a bus.Worryingly，of the 654 interviewees with children.64% said they were often too tired to play with them.
[3]This led the report to conclude that it’s no wonder that one in six children in the UK are classified as obese (肥胖) before they start school.Dr Sarah Dauncey，medical director of Nuffield Health.said：“People need to get fitter，not just for their own sake，but for the sake of their families，friends and evidently their pets too.If we don’t start to take control of this problem，a whole generation will become too unfit to perform even the most basic tasks.”
[4]And Scotland’s largest city，Glasgow，was shamed as the most inactive city in the UK，with 75% surveyed admitting they do not get enough exercise，followed closely by Birmingham and Southampton，both with 67%.
[5]The results cause serious challenges for the National Health Service，where obesityrelated illnesses such as heart disease and cancer __________________for the past 40 years and are costing billions of pounds every year.

课时作业(四十)
Ⅰ.单项填空
1．解析： 考查情景交际。A项意为“这是个好主意”；B项意为“我非常同意”；C项意为“你不是认真的吧？你不是在开玩笑吧”；D项意为“对此我不太确信”。根据语境可知，应答句意为：你不是在开玩笑吧？我们两个今天早上还在一起踢足球了。
答案： C
2．解析： 考查代词用法。句意为：我们都在等老板的回复，但最终一个回复也没有。根据题干中的“but”可知，此处应选否定含义的词；根据句意可知，此处表示泛指“任何一个回复”，故选none(三者或三者以上的)一个也没有。neither(两者中的)任何一个也不；either(两者中的)任何一个；another(三者或三者以上的)又一，再一。
答案： D
3．解析： 句意为：当我们村周围的群山变绿时，它们便成了很多野生动物的栖息地。根据句意可知，第一空后的mountains在本句中表示特指，故用定冠词，排除C项；“be/become home to...”为固定搭配，相当于be/become the home of...，意为“……的栖息地”。
