【题目】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。
April 22nd every year marks the start of Earth Day, a day that is celebrated annually to raise awareness about our home planet and how we can save it from being damaged.
①Green-up your home
This is one of the most common things that people do whenever Earth Day rolls around, that is, switch off(关闭) their lights. Conserve(节约) energy by switching off all power or electricity points whenever they are not in use. In addition, take out all the plugs from plug points even after switching them off.

Cars, being the greatest source of air pollution, can be left at home this weekend. Other greener choices are carpooling, riding a bike or you can also walk if you want a healthier choice and if your workplace is not that far away from your home.
③Be a little dirty
No, we don't mean it 'that way'. We simply mean to say, don't take a bath. Yes, conservation of water is super essential. A day or two without a bath won't harm you, but it will certainly do a lot of good for our planet. A daily shower isn't a matter of health; it's a matter of comfort.
The future of our planet is in your hands!
A. Started in the year 1970, Earth Day is now celebrated in more than 190 countries each year.
B. Showering every day can wash away the natural oils that our skin and hair need.
C. Do something every day that will improve your surroundings to make the planet a better place to live in.
D. Traveling via public transport is the better choice.
E. Leave your cars at home.
F. Below, we have made a list of things you can do to celebrate Earth Day.
G. However, this is not something you should do just for a day or for only an hour.

【答案】F;G;E;D;B
【解析】四月二十二日是世界地球日,这一天我们要记住保护我们赖以生存的家园,要用实际行动来保护,如节约用电,节约用水,选择健康的乘车方式等。
①F考查对上下文语境的理解。空前的意思是:这一天我们记得我们的地球,记得怎么样去保护它。所以 这里选F (我们可以做下面这些事情来庆祝地球日。)与上下文一致。
②G考查对上下文语境的理解。空前的意思是:关掉灯;空后一句的意思是:关闭所有的不用的能源和电。所以这里选G (然而,这不是你仅仅做一天或者几个小时的事情。)与上下文一致。
③E考查对上下文语境的理解。空后的意思是:车是空气污染的最大的原因。所以这里选E (把车砍在家里。)与上下文一致。
④D考查对上下文语境的理解。空前的意思是:周末可以把车放在家:里;空后的意思是:其他更环保的方式是骑自行车,或者更健康的步行。所以这里选3 (乘坐公共交通也是一个不错的选择。)与上下文一致。
⑤B考查对上下文语境的理解。空前的意思是:每天都洗澡不是健康,而是舒服。所以这里选B (每天洗澡会洗掉我们身体和头发所需的自然油脂。)与上下文一致。

【题目】阅读下列短文,从每题所给的四个选项(A、B、C和D)中,选出最佳选项。
B
Our risk of cancer rises as we age. So it makes sense that the elderly should be routinely screened for new tumors(肿瘤)—or doesn't it?
While such careful tracking of cancer is a good thing in general, researchers are increasingly questioning whether all of this testing is necessary for the elderly. With the percentage of people over age 65 expected to nearly double by 2050, it's important to consider the health benefits of screening and the costs of routine testing.
In many cases, screening can lead to additional operations to remove cancer, which can cause side effects, while the cancers themselves may be slow-growing and may not cause serious health problems in patients' remaining years. But the message that everyone must screen for cancer has become so ingrained that when health care experts recommended that women under 50 and over 74 stop screening for breast cancer, it caused a strong reaction among doctors, patients and advocacy(拥护) groups.
It's hard to uproot deeply held beliefs about cancer screening with scientific data. Certainly, there are people over age 75 who have had cancers detected by routine screening, and gained several extra years of life because of treatment. And clearly, people over age 75 who have other risk factors for cancer, such as a family history, should continue to get screened regularly. But for the remainder, the risk of cancer, while increased at the end of life, must be balanced with other factors like a remaining life expectancy.
A recent study suggests that doctors start to make more right decisions about who will truly benefit from screening—especially considering the explosion of the elderly.
It's not an easy guess to make, but one that makes sense for the whole patient. Dr. Otis Brawley said, "Many doctors are ordering these tests purely to protect themselves against medical disputes(纠纷). We need to think about the good use of health care and stop talking about the rationing(定量配给制) of health care."
That means making some difficult decisions with elderly patients and going against the misguided belief that when it comes to health care, more is always better.
(1)Some researchers now think that routine cancer screening for the elderly .
A.adds too much to their medical bills
B.helps contribute to a long life
C.can prevent tumor growth
D.is not always necessary
(2)The underlined word "ingrained" in Paragraph 3 most probably means "".
A.important
B.reliable
C.precious
D.deep-rooted
(3)According to Dr. Otis Brawley, why do many doctors recommend routine screening for cancer?
A.Because they want to get more money from the health care system.
B.Because they want to perform their normal duties actively.
C.Because they want to avoid possible trouble.
D.Because they want their patients to suffer less.
(4)What does the author mainly argue for?
A.Screening tests must be effective and dependable.
B.Old people should be careful about routine cancer screening.
C.Screening increases the chances of detecting certain cancers earlier.
D.Whether old people should go for cancer screening should follow rules.

【题目】There is no doubt that obesity is one of the biggest problems that many men and women of all ages suffer from. Although everybody wants to lose weight quickly, burning fat is no easy task. Here are a few tips on weight loss. Don’t expect to just read these tips and expect to lose weight while you sleep. 1

It is very important to drink a lot of water while reducing the use of salt. 2

Try not to eat the foods that contain high amounts of fat and instead focus on eating foods rich in fiber.

3 This is the best way to lose weight, as playing a sport can give a person a sense of confidence.

Avoid taking medicines that help reduce your appetite, as they usually have many side effects and can do you more harm than good. Also, you shouldn’t follow unusual diets such as those that focus on drinking large amounts of vitamin-concentrated liquids and the like. 4

Finally, everyone should know and understand that obesity will eventually lead to bigger and more dangerous diseases and conditions, so it is best for us to stay fit before we gain weight while we still have a chance. 5 It’s better for you to take things slowly and start with losing just a few pounds a month and then increasing that.

A. Just stick to the most popular diets.

B. It will take a lot of effort on your part to succeed.

C. Exercise consistently while you’re on a diet.

D. Salt tends to store water in the body leading to weight again.

E. And in case you feel hungry you should eat low-calories foods.

F. Also, make sure you don’t work on reducing too much weight too fast.

G. When in doubt, don’t be afraid to ask your doctor for recommendations.

【题目】阅读下列短文,从所给的四个选项中,选出最佳选项。
C
Every small child knows the panic of losing sight of its mother in the supermarket, and as these delightful pictures show, small whales obviously feel the same way.
Taken by a British diver who was following the sperm whale(抹香鲸) calf, they show the minute the baby - who had lost track of its mum-found her again in the sea off the Azores.
Soaring 30ft across the waves, the newborn slammed(猛力推)its body onto the water with joy after becoming separated from its family group in the chilly(寒冷的)waters.
But the whale calf was doing more than just jumping for joy.
British biologist and dive guide Justin Hart, 44, who took the pictures, says that young whales communicate with older ones in the ocean by creating a slamming sound which travels through the water to the ears of the adults deep below.
By leaping out of the water and slamming its 12ft long body onto the surface of the sea up to 30 times, the baby whale is telling its relatives where it is so they can regroup.
He said: “We had been following the sperm whale calf for most of the day. Sperm whales, of all the whales and dolphins, are the species that dive the deepest and for the longest time.”
“The calves have to follow what’s going on below them from the surface as best they can probably listening to the echo location(回声定位)clicks of the adults.”
“However, sometimes the adults re-surface far out of sight of the calf, and in this situation the whales often leap out of the water causing a large bang as their bodies hit the surface. In this way, the whale family could regroup.”
He added: “When I took the photo, two adults’ females had just resurfaced and the calf quite literally began jumping for joy.”
Mr. Hart captured the rare image four miles from the port of Lajes do Pico while he was working as a crewman on an underwater documentary with special license to film sperm whales in the area.
Sperm whales live in nearly all the world's oceans in groups of about 15 to 20 animals and they practice communal(集体的) childcare. The calves do not have to follow their mother too closely as sperm whales can take milk from any milk-producing female in its social group.
(1)The underlined word “they” in paragraph 2 probably refers to _____.
A.the whales
B.the divers
C.the photos
D.the mothers
(2)According to Justin Hart, the young sperm whale ____.
A.found its family with his help
B.suffered a lot in the cold waters
C.lost contact with its family for days
D.slammed as a means of communication
(3)What do we know about sperm whales?
A.The young are independent.
B.They are highly social animals.
C.They tend to live in warm sea waters.
D.Females take turns to care for babies.
(4)What would be the best title for the text?
A.Baby whales perform slamming with joy
B.Sperm whales -- fairly intelligent animals
C.Lost sperm whale baby reunited with its family
D.Slamming-- a way of communication among whales
