【题目】Ask any American what he/she is doing on Sunday, February 7 and the answer is likely to be either hosting or attending a Super Bowl Party. Played for the title of the National Football League Champion, Super Bowl is the most watched annual television program in the United States.
That's because Super Bowl which is celebrating its Golden Anniversary this year, is more than just a 60-minute football game—it is a well-designed production that features half-time performances, fireworks shows and television ads that people discuss for days.
But most important of all, it is the day to set aside all diets and enjoy foods one would normally avoid or at least not consume at the same time. It should, therefore, come as no surprise that Super Bowl Sunday is one of the biggest food consumption days in the U.S. — Second only to Thanksgiving.
The noshing will start early in the day, long before matches begin and continue long after the 2016 NFL Champions have retired to celebrate.
As a result, it is estimated that on Sunday, the nation will consume 1.2 million pounds of potato chips, 8.2 million pounds of tortilla chips, 3.8 million pounds of popcorn and 3 million pounds of nuts.
When the real hunger pains start to hit, they will seek out comfort foods. Not surprisingly, pizza tops the list. Chicken wings are also very popular. It is estimated that almost 1.3 billion wings will be consumed on Super Bowl Sunday. Other favorites include bacon, hot dogs and burgers.
But the food consumption is not without consequences. Data released indicates that antacid (解酸药) sales increase by 20% on the Monday following the big game. Additionally, over seven million Americans call in sick. It is no wonder that fans have been urging the government to declare Super Bowl Monday a holiday.
【1】Why does Super Bowl become the most popular television program?
A. It is the longest football game.
B. It is hosted by famous film stars.
C. It contains the most wonderful ads.
D. It involves in various performances.
【2】Which can replace the underlined word “noshing” in Paragraph 4?
A. playing B. eating
C. competing D. resting
【3】Which comfort food is consumed the most？
A. Hot dogs. B. Pizza.
C. Nuts. D. Chicken wings.
【4】What bad result might Super Bowl Sunday lead to?
A. Lots of food is wasted.
B. Public disorder is caused.
C. Some people have an upset stomach.
D. Many people lose their work.
【答案】
【1】D
【2】B
【3】B
【4】C
【解析】本文向我们介绍了美国收视率最高的年度电视节目—超级碗派对。超级碗星期日是美国最大的食品消费日，仅次于感恩节。据估计，在星期日，国家将消耗120万磅薯片，玉米片820万磅，380万磅和300万磅的坚果爆米花。但过度的食品消费也带来了一系列问题，公布的数据表明，抗酸剂的销售增加20%在大比赛结束后的星期一，超过七百万美国人请病假。
【1】细节理解题。由第二段“ That's because Super Bowl which is celebrating its Golden Anniversary this year, is more than just a 60-minute football game—it is a well-designed production that features half-time performances, fireworks shows and television ads that people discuss for days.”（这是因为今年庆祝黄金纪念日的超级碗不仅仅是一场60分钟的足球比赛，而是一个精心设计的产品，它包括了半个小时的表演、焰火表演和电视广告。）可知，比赛期间有很多其他表演，D符合题意，故选D。
【2】词义推测题。由后文的“As a result, it is estimated that on Sunday, the nation will consume 1.2 million pounds of potato chips, 8.2 million pounds of tortilla chips, 3.8 million pounds of popcorn and 3 million pounds of nuts.”（结果，据估计，在星期日，国家将消耗120万磅薯片，玉米片820万磅，380万磅爆米花和300万磅的坚果。）可知，这指的应该是吃。故选B。
【3】细节理解题。由倒数第二段“Not surprisingly, pizza tops the list.”（毫不奇怪，披萨榜上有名。）可知，披萨消耗的最厉害。B符合题意，故选B。
【4】细节理解题。由最后一段“Data released indicates that antacid (解酸药) sales increase by 20% on the Monday following the big game. ”公布的数据表明，抗酸剂的销售增加20%在大比赛结束后的星期一。故可知超级碗派对造成不好的后果是很多人胃不舒服。C符合语境，故选C。

【题目】根据短文理解，选择正确答案。
After a terrible electrical accident, which caused him to become both blind and deaf, the whole world became completely dark and quiet for Robert Edwards for almost ten years. The loss of sight and hearing threw him into such sorrow(悲伤) that he tried a few times to put an end to his life. His family, especially his wife, did their best to tend and comfort him and finally he regained the will to live.
One hot summer afternoon, he was taking a walk with a stick near his house when a thunderstorm started all at once. He stood under a large tree to avoid getting wet, but he was struck by the lightning. Witnesses thought he was dead but he woke up some 20 minutes later lying face down in muddy water at the base of the tree. He was trembling badly, but when he opened his eyes, he could hardly believe what he saw —— a plough and a wall. When Mrs. Edwards came running up to him, shouting to their neighbors to call for help, he could see her and hear her voice for the first time in nearly ten years.
The news of Robert regaining his sight and hearing quickly spread, and many doctors came to examine him. Most of them said that he regained his sight and hearing from the shock he got from the lightning. However, none of them could give a convincing answer as to why this should have happened. The only reasonable explanation given by one doctor was that, since Robert lost his sight and hearing as a result of sudden shock, perhaps, the only way for him to regain them was by another sudden shock.
（1）The reason for Robert's attempts to kill himself was that________.
A.a terrible traffic accident happened to him
B.he had to live in a dark and silent world

A.Robert had been deaf and blind for nearly ten years.
B.Robert hid himself under the tree for 20 minutes.
C.Robert could hear his wife's shouting for help when he woke up.
D.The family's love helped Robert regain confidence to live.
（4）We can infer from the text that________.
A.there was no accurate explanation for Robert's recovery
