　　Module3 Adventure in Literature and the Cinema

　　Ⅰ.阅读理解(共两节)

　　第一节　阅读下列短文，从每题所给的四个选项(A、B、C、D)中，选出最佳选项。

　　Let's face it.No one drinks diet sodas for the taste.People drink diet sodas 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 sodas.“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 sodas，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 sodas, and so over－compensate 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 School of Medicine of the University of Texas.“They may be free of calories，but not of consequences.”

　　1．People drink diet sodas to________.

　　A．enjoy its tasteB．stay in fashion

　　C．achieve weight loss

　　D．gain more energy

　　解析：选C。细节理解题。根据第一段中的“People drink diet sodas in the hope that it will help them lose weight...”可知，人们喝低糖汽水是为了减轻体重，故选C。

　　2．The new study suggests that drinking diet sodas________.

　　A．causes people to become heavier

　　B．helps people to be healthier

　　C．makes people much thinner

　　D．offers people more calories

　　解析：选A。细节理解题。根据第一段的最后一句可知，新的研究表明喝低糖汽水非但不能减轻体重，反而会让体重增加。

　　3．We can learn from the passage that________.

　　A．regular sodas make people lose more weight

　　B．diet soda drinkers tend to eat more food

　　C．diet sodas do help reduce calories

　　D．most blood diseases come from diet sodas

　　解析：选B。推理判断题。根据倒数第二段中的“...they can eat more if they drink diet sodas...”可知，喝低糖汽水的人倾向于吃更多的食物。

　　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

　　解析：选B。代词指代题。此处是承接上一句中的内容，故“They”指的是“低糖汽水和人造甜味剂”。

　　第二节　根据短文内容，从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项，选项中有两项为多余选项。

　　Sometimes willpower is much like the television remote control－hard to find just when you want it most.1.____________ But there are ways to increase your willpower.

　　Don’t try to change your economic situation，win a promotion and lose weight all on the same morning.Set one clear，specific goal and make a realistic plan to achieve it.Extra willpower sometimes requires extra energy，so don’t spread yourself too thin.2.____________

　　Whatever your goal is，don’t expect to achieve it overnight.3.____________ If you are trying to kick a coffee habit，start by replacing your morning cup of coffee with a glass of water instead of promising never to drink coffee again.Congratulate yourself on the small achievements.These successes help your willpower grow.

　　4．____________ Ask friends，family or colleagues for assistance and tell them exactly how they can help.If your credit card bills have risen，for instance，let friends know that you are cutting back on expenses.Suggest having a common dinner instead of meeting at an expensive restaurant.Find a support group or organization related to your goal and attend their meetings.You can get valuable advice，understanding and information.

　　If possible，change your environment to encourage positive behavior.Want to get in shape? Keep an extra set of workout clothes in your office as a reminder to stop by the gym on the way home.Want to quit smoking? 5.____________

　　A．Real success takes time.

　　B．Focus on one goal at a time.

　　C．Change your environment to change your life.

　　D．Improve your willpower by a support network.

　　E．Changing your behavior requires more than willpower.

　　F．Avoid bars or restaurants where you might be attracted to light up.

　　G．Breaking a bad habit or forming a new and healthy one can be difficult.

　　1．________2.________3._______ _4.________

　　5．________6.________7.________8.________

　　9．________10.________

　　1．解析：考查连词。分析句子结构可知，空格后是宾语从句。根据句意可知，此处是Peter问是否能为自己安排一个住的地方。在宾语从句中连词表示“是否”的意思，只能够填if或whether。

　　答案：if/whether

　　2．解析：考查代词。句意为：我会让人为你安排那件事。此处指代前文提到的住的地方，因此填代词it或that。

　　答案：it/that

　　3．解析：考查介词。固定搭配share sth.with sb.意为“与某人分享某物”，由此可知，此处填介词with。

　　答案：with

　　4．解析：考查连词。根据语境可知，空格后句子与其前的句子之间是转折关系，因此空格处应填连词but。

　　答案：but

　　5．解析：考查形容词。根据空格前的系动词“be”可知，此空应该用所给提示词的形容词形式作表语，因此此空填noisy。

　　答案：noisy

　　6．解析：考查定语从句。分析句子结构可知，此句是一个定语从句，并且从句中缺主语，而先行词又是人，因此应用关系代词who或that引导定语从句。故填who/that。

　　答案：who/that

　　7．解析：考查非谓语动词。由于题干中宾语从句的谓语动词是“is”，因此空格处应该是作从句的主语，此处应该用提示词的动名词作宾语从句的主语，故空格处应填living。

　　答案：living

　　8．解析：考查非谓语动词。句意为：那不是大问题，因为我已攒了一些钱。have sth.done意为“让某事被做，使某事被做”，符合语境，因此，此空应填过去分词saved。

　　答案：saved

　　9．解析：考查冠词。句意为：此外，我总能找到一份兼职工作。此处表示泛指，因此填不定冠词a。

　　答案：a

　　10．解析：考查动词的时态。根据语境可知，如果有消息了，“我”会给你打电话。在if引导的条件状语从句中，从句用一般现在时表将来，主句用一般将来时。故此处填will。

　　答案：will

　　Ⅳ.微型写作

　　1．上周六，我们去了一家托儿所。

　　2．我们和那里的孩子们一起读童谣，孩子们都特别兴奋。

　　3．最后我们告诉他们帮助别人能让别人得到温暖，给他们的黑暗带来光明。
