【答案】

【1】for

2reducing

3what

4got

5completely

6who

7carried

8the

9is

【10it

【解析】

试题分析:中国科学家屠呦呦获得2015年诺贝尔医学奖,这是对屠呦呦长期以来对科学的执着与献身精神的褒奖。

【1】for考查介词。for表示原因句意:因为屠呦呦他们在抗寄生虫病方面的工作。故填for

2reducing 考查动名词。contribution to doing:to是介词,后跟名词或动名词。所以填reducing

3what 考查名词性从句。表语从句中缺少about的宾语。句意:这就是科学的全部。故填what.

4got 考查动词时态。句意:在2011年获拉斯克奖奖时,她就引起人们的注意。用一般过去时描述过去的事情。故填got.

5completely 考查副词。副词修饰动词。句意:屠呦呦的获奖使得中国人十分惊讶。故填completely

6who考查定语从句。 非限定性定语从句的主语是Chinese People,所以用who引导。句意:中国人一直在猜测,中国第一个自然科学领域的诺贝尔奖得主什么时候出现。填who。

7carried 考查非谓语动词。句意:在中国进行的工作。过去分词做后置定语,修饰前面的名词work。故填carried。

8the考查冠词。形容词最高级前要加the。句意:尽管诺贝尔奖40年后才来到,但它却是对屠呦呦献身于青蒿素研究和坚韧不拔精神的最好奖赏。填the。

9is 考查谓语动词。主系表结构的句子缺少连系动词,描述现在的事情,所以用一般现在时。句意:屠呦呦获奖不断提醒人们:科学从来就不是一瞬间的成功。填is。

【10it考查代词。句意:没有办法衡量你在科学研究方面付出了多少,你的付出和报酬也无法进行比较。It指代上半句提到的how much you spend on scientific research。故填it。

【题目】A characteristic of American culture that has become almost a tradition is to respect the self-made man—the man who has risen to the top through his own efforts, usually beginning by working with his hands. While the leader in business or industry or the college professor occupies a higher social position and wins greater respect in the community than the common laborer or even the skilled factory worker, he may take pains to point out that his father started life in America as a farmer or laborer of some kind.

This attitude toward manual (体力的) labor is now still seen in many aspects of American life. One is invited to dinner at a home that is not only comfortably but even expensively furnished and in which there is every evidence of the fact that the family has been able to afford foreign travel, expensive hobbies, and college education for the children; yet the hostess probably will cook the dinner herself, will serve it herself and will wash dishes afterward; furthermore, the dinner will not consist just of something quickly and easily mixed from contents of various cans and a cake or a pie bought at the nearby bakery. Instead, the hostess usually takes pride in careful preparation of special dishes. A professional man may talk about washing the car, digging in his flowerbeds, painting the house. His wife may even help with these things, just as he often helps her with the dishwashing. The son who is away at college may wait on table and wash dishes for his living, or during the summer he may work with a group of workers on the highway in order to pay for his education.

【1】From Paragraph 1, we know that in America ________.

A. people feel painful to mention their fathers as laborers

B. people tend to have a high opinion of the self-made man

C. people can always rise to the top through their own efforts

D. college professors win great respect from common workers

【2】According to the passage, the hostess cooks dinner herself mainly because ________.

A. she can hardly afford servants

B. servants in America are hard to get

C. she takes pride in what she can do herself

D. it is easy to prepare a meal with canned food

【3】The expression “wait on table” in the second paragraph means “________”.

A. wait to place the table

B. keep accounts for a bar

C. work in a furniture shop

D. serve customers in a restaurant

【4】Which of the following may serve as the best title of the passage?

A. A Respectable Self-made Family.

B. The Development of Manual Labor.

C. Characteristics of American Culture.

D. American Attitude Toward Manual Labor.

【题目】Your house may have an effect on your figure. experts say the way you design your home could play a role in whether you pack on the pounds or keep them off. You can make your environment work for you instead of against you. Here are some ways to turn your home into part of your diet plan.

Open the curtains and turn up the lights. Dark environments are more likely to encourage overeating, for people are often less self-conscious(难为情) when they’re in poorly lit places and so more likely to eat lots of food. If your home doesn’t have enough window light, get more lamps and flood the place with brightness.

Mind the colors. Research suggests warm colors fuel our appetites. In one study, people who ate meals in a blue room consumed 33 percent less than those in a yellow or red room. Warm colors like yellow make food appear more appetizing, while cold colors make us less hungry. So when it’s time to repaint, go blue.

Don’t forget the clock or the radio. People who eat slowly tend to consume about 70 fewer calories(卡路里) per meal than those who rush through their meals. Begin keeping track of the time, and try to make dinner last at 30 minutes. And while you’re at it, actually sit down to eat. If you need some help slowing down, turning on relaxing music. It makes you less likely to rush through a meal.

Downsize the dishes. Big serving bowls and plants can easily makes us fat. We eat about 22 percent more when using a 12-inch plate instead of a 10-inch plate. When we choose a large spoon over a smaller one, total intake(摄入) jumps by 14 percent. And we’ll pour about 30 percent more liquid into a short, wide glass than a tall, skinny glass.

【1】The text is especially helpful for those who care about ____.

A.their home comforts B.their body shape

C.house buying D.healthy diets

【2】A home environment in blue can help people ____.

A.digest food better B.reduce food intake

C.burn more calories D.regain their appetites

【3】What are people advised to do at mealtimes?

A.Eat quickly. B.Play fast music

C.Use smaller spoons D.Turn down the lights

【4】What can be a suitable title for the text?

A.Is Your House Making You Fat?

B.Ways of Serving Dinner

C. Effects of Self-Consciousness

D. Is Your Home Environment Relaxing?

【题目】Our body clock, or natural body rhythm, influences our energy and alertness. Paying attention to it can help us choose the suitable time of the day when we best perform specific tasks.

The reality, however, is that most of us organize the time around work demands, school deadlines, commuting or social events. Doing whatever the body feels like doing is a luxury in today’s fast-paced modern society.

But that doesn’t mean it isn’t worth trying. Obeying our body clock has significant health benefits. Disrupting our natural body rhythm, on the other hand, has been linked to problems such as depression, obesity, or headache, says Steve Key, a biology professor.

When the body clock can synchronize (使……同步) the rhythms of its natural processes, it “gives us an advantage in daily life”, says Key.

According to him, when it comes to cognitive (认知的) work, most adults perform best in the late morning. As our body temperature starts to rise just before awakening in the morning and continues to increase until midday, our memory, alertness and concentration gradually improve.

However, he adds, our ability to concentrate typically starts to decrease soon thereafter. Most of us are more easily distracted (分心) between noon and 4 pm.

Alertness also tends to fall after eating a meal and sleepiness tends to peak around 2 pm, making that a good time for a nap.

Surprisingly, tiredness may increase our creative powers. For most adults, problems that require open-ended thinking are often best dealt with in the evening when they are tired, according to a study in the journal Thinking & Reasoning.

When choosing a time of the day to exercise, paying attention to your body clock can improve results. Physical performance is usually best from about 3 to 6 pm, says Michael Smolensky, a professor of biomedical engineering.

Of course, not everyone’s body clock is the same, making it even harder to synchronize natural rhythms with daily plans.

1】If we know our natural body rhythm well, we can ______.

A. find out the suitable time to do specific tasks

B. organize our time around work demands

C. do whatever our body feels like doing

D. be sure to be healthy

2】Which of the following is NOT true?

A. Our alertness is influenced by our natural body rhythm.

B. Doing whatever your body feels like is very difficult in our modern society.

C. Obeying our body clock is good for our health.

D. Disrupting our natural body rhythm must lead to obesity.

3】Inspiration (灵感) to solve a difficult problem will most probably come to us

______.

A. when we get up in the morning

B. when we are tired in the evening

C. when we are full of energy in the late morning

D. when we are asleep at night

4】Which of the following can be the suitable title for the passage?

A. What is natural body rhythm?

B. Natural body rhythm is good for us.

C. Something about natural body rhythm.

D. The latest research about natural body rhythm.

【题目】Tobacco is the second major cause of death in the world. It is responsible for the death of one in ten adults worldwide (about 5 million deaths each year). If current smoking patterns continue, it will cause some 10 million deaths each year by 2020. Half the people that smoke today, which is about 650 million people, will eventually be killed by tobacco.

Tobacco is the fourth most common risk factor for disease worldwide. The economic costs of tobacco use are equally devastating (破坏性的). In addition to the high public health costs of treating tobacco-caused diseases, tobacco kills people at the height of their productivity, depriving (剥夺) families of breadwinners and nations of a healthy workforce. Tobacco users are also less productive while they are alive due to increased sickness. A 1994 report estimated that the use of tobacco resulted in an annual global net loss of 200 thousand million US dollars, a third of this loss being in developing countries.

Tobacco and poverty are closely linked. Many studies have shown that in the poorest households in some low-income countries as much as 10% of total household expenditure is on tobacco. This means that these families have less money to spend on basic items such as food, education and health care. It contributes to a higher illiteracy rate, since money that could have been used for education is spent on tobacco instead.

【1】According to the passage, tobacco affects a family in the following aspects EXCEPT _______.

A. relationship

B. education

C. health

D. span>economy

【2】 The text uses a lot of figures to _____.

A. show we shouldnt smoke too much

B. tell people exactly the number

C. warn people of the harm of smoking

D. indicate the writer had a careful investigation

【3】The underlined word illiteracy in the last paragraph means ____.

A. great intelligence

B. good education

C. bad behaviors

D. inability to read or write

【4】 What is the best title of the passage?

A. Tobacco Should Be Banned.

B. Why Is Tobacco a Major Threat to Public Health.

C. Tobacco and Poverty Go Hand in Hand.

D. Tobacco May Cause Death.

Is there anything more important than health? I don’t think so. “ 【1】 ” wise people say.

If you have a headache, toothache, backache, or bad pain in the stomach, if you complain of a bad cough, or if you suffer from high or low blood pressure, I think you go to the doctor.
