Ⅱ.阅读理解
(2017·襄阳四中调研)Let's face it. No one drinks diet soda for the taste.People drink diet soda in the hope that it will help them lose weight or at least keep them from gaining it. Yet it seems to have exactly the opposite effect, according to a new study.
Researchers from the University of Texas said those who drank two or more diet sodas a day had waist size increases that were six times greater than those who didn't drink diet soda.”What we saw was that the more diet sodas a person drank, the more weight they were likely to gain，”said Sharon Fowler.
The study was based on data from 474 participants in a large, ongoing research project, where the participants were followed for nearly 10 years.
While the findings are surprising, they also offer some explanations.
Nutrition expert, Melanie Rogers, who works with overweight patients in New York, has found that when patients are switched from regular to diet soda, they don't lose weight at all.“We weren't seeing weight loss necessarily, and that was confusing to us，” said Rogers.
So why would diet soda cause weight gain? No one knows for sure yet, but it could be that people think they can eat more if they drink diet soda, and so overcompensate for the missing calories.
A related study found some sweeteners (甜味剂) raised blood sugar levels in some mice.“Data from this and other potential studies suggest that the promotion of diet sodas and artificial sweeteners may be risky，” said Helen P．Hazuda, professor at the University of Texas's school of medicine. “They may be free of calories, but not of consequences.”
1．People drink diet soda to ________.
A．enjoy its taste
B．stay in fashion
C．achieve weight loss
D．gain more energy
2．The new study suggests that drinking diet soda ________.
A．causes people to become heavier
B．helps people to be healthier
C．makes people much thinner
D．offers people more calories
3．We can learn from the passage that ________.
A．regular soda makes people lose more weight
B．diet soda drinkers tend to eat more food
C．diet soda does help reduce calories
D．most blood diseases come from diet soda
4．The underlined word “They” in the last paragraph probably refers to ________.
A．sweeteners
B．diet sodas and artificial sweeteners
C．sodas
D．diet soda drinkers and sweetener takers

答
案
Ⅰ.1.选D 句意：“我想咨询一下跟团去泰国旅游的信息。”“好的，包括住宿在内要400美元。”package tour为固定搭配，意为“跟团旅游”，此处用the特指去泰国的跟团旅游；accommodation为不可数名词，表示“住处”，其前不需加冠词。
2．选C 分析句子结构可知，先行词accidents在定语从句中作地点状语，所以用关系副词where引导。故选C项。
3．选A 答语意为：他一定是在来这儿的路上被交通堵塞耽搁了。hold up表示“延迟；阻碍”。后三项分别表示“建造；张贴”“从事；占据”“放弃”。
4．选B 此处表示“中国新年通常会见证两项纪录”，故选witnesses，表示“是发生……的时间；见证”。develop“发展”；establish“建立”；launch“发动；发射”。
5．选B 句意：“到底是什么让你心情特别不好？”“交通堵塞几个小时。”根据问句的what可知，此处需要主语，排除A项；不定式表将来，排除C项；stick与“我”之间为被动关系，所以选B项(动名词的被动式)作主语。
6．选D 句意：“明天是公休日，孩子应该(趁此机会)接近自然。”“但是恐怕她明天要去参加一个特殊的训练课程。”第一句为非限制性定语从句，public holiday为先行词，when是关系副词引导从句，在从句中作时间状语。故答案选D。
7．选B 句意：关于这个项目我的观点正好和你相反。也就是说，我根本不同意你的意见。opposite“相反；对立”，符合句意。similarity“相似”；option“选择”；difference“差异；不同”。
8．选B 句意：听到可怕的声音后，小男孩穿着拖鞋就冲了出来。副词out提前，要用完全倒装结构，故选B。
9．选A 句意：当今，孩子的创造力急剧提高，因为他们被鼓励去发展个人才能。sharp “急剧的”，符合句意。slight“轻微的”；natural “自然的”；modest “谦虚的；中等的”。
10．选D 句意：很多人并未清楚地意识到他们孩子的坏习惯所带来的危险，这些坏习惯会导致孩子们的梦想无法实现。空格后不是句子，所以排除C; aware后接of排除A; aware的修饰语不能用very，排除B；故选D。
11．选A 句意：地震之后，当地政府首先做的事情是为无家可归的家庭提供住所。既然是“无家可归”，所以要解决的应该是“住所”。accommodation“住宿；住所”；occupation“占有；职业”；equipment“设备”；furniture“家具”，故A项符合。
12．选C 根据所提供的情景可判断出：在开始上课时，可以听到桌子被打开和关上的声音。desks与open, close之间为被动关系，因此使用动词ing形式的被动语态。
13．选A 根据句意可知是不能忍受总是被他欺骗，因此用being cheated。
14．选B advance“前进”；postpone“推迟”；abandon“放弃；抛弃”；advocate“倡导”。从because of the rain及后面的应答语可知B项正确。
15．选A 句意：无论何时你有困难，给我说一下，我会尽我所能帮助你摆脱困境。句中I can是定语从句，修饰everything, can后省略了do，故作目的状语的to help you out与can无关。
.
语篇解读：本文是一篇科普性文章。有些人希望通过饮用苏打水来减肥或防止体重增加。然而新的研究表明，饮用苏打水不但不能减肥反而会增加体重。
1．选C 细节理解题。根据文章第一段第三句中的“will help them lose weight”可知，人们饮用苏打水的目的是减肥。故选C。
2．选A 细节理解题。根据第一段最后一句“Yet it seems to have exactly the opposite effect, according to a new study.”可知，饮用苏打水不但不能减肥，反而会导致体重增加。故选A。
3．选B 细节理解题。根据文章倒数第二段中的“people think they can eat more if they drink diet soda”可知，人们认为饮用苏打水后可以吃得更多。故选B。
4．选B 代词指代题。根据文章最后一段所讲述的内容，特别是“the promotion of diet sodas and artificial sweeteners may be risky”可知，They指代的是“diet sodas and artificial sweeteners”。故选B。
.参考范文：
Helping others is helping yourself
As is known to all, no one can avoid difficulties. So everyone needs others' help. However, it is a pity that some people won't offer their help to people in trouble. I have had such experiences. Sometimes when I can't work out a maths problem and turn to my classmates, they often refuse me, which makes me annoyed. In fact, I think they might have problems that I know how to work out.
If they are willing to help me, I will be ready to help them. Otherwise, I may refuse them too. That's why an old saying goes like this: Helping others is helping yourself. I hope everyone should be unselfish and do whatever they can to help others. Only in this way can we help each other and improve each other.
