【题目】Would you eat a ready meal from the fridge rather than cook by yourself? Have you been doing Internet shopping rather than going to the stores? What can’t you be bothered to do?
A study into how lazy British people are has found more than half of the adults are so idle (懒散的)that they’d catch the lift rather than climb two flights of stairs.
Just over 2000 people were quizzed by independent researchers at Nuffield Health, Britain's largest health center. The results were extremely surprising.
About one in six people questioned said if their remote control was broken, they would continue watching the same channel rather than get up.
More than one third of those questioned said they would not run to catch a bus. Worryingly, of the 654 respondents with children, 64% said they were often too tired to play with them.
This led the report to conclude that it's no wonder that one in six children in the UK are classified as obese (very fat) before they start school.
Dr Sarah Dauncey, medical director of Nuffield Health, said, “ People need to get fitter, not just for their own reason, but for the reason for their families, friends and evidently (明显地;显然)their pets too.”
"If we don't start to take control of this problem, a whole generation will become too unfit to perform even the most fundamental tasks."
And Scotland's largest city, Glasgow, was shamed as the most idle city in the UK, with 75% questioned admitting they do not get enough exercise, followed closely by Birmingham and Southampton, both with 67%.
The results bring serious challenges for the National Health Service, where obesity-related illnesses such as heart disease and cancer have been on a steady increase for the past 40 years and are costing billions of pounds every year.
【1】How many people questioned don’t play with their children?
A. 1280. B. More than 333.
C. 654. D. About 420.
【2】The study leads us to believe that .
A. the pets in the UK will be in trouble if their owners keep their way of life
B. Glasgow people feel ashamed because they don't get enough exercise
C. British people are the laziest around the world
D. five sixths of the British children are healthy
【3】How does the author convince the readers?
A. By presenting the results of a study.
B. By providing answers to questions.
C. By interviewing some experts.
D. By telling a story.
【答案】
【1】D
【2】A
【3】A
【解析】本文为介绍说明文。这篇文章是关于英国人懒惰的调查,通过陈述调查的结果让读者相信英国人是懒惰的,还有这种懒惰会带来的副作用。
【1】细节理解题。根据第五段中的Worryingly, of the 654 respondents with children, 64% said they were often too tired to play with them.(令人担忧的是,在654名有孩子的受访者中,64%的人说他们经常太累以至于无法和孩子们一起玩。)可知,受询问的人里面有654*64%=418.56人不和孩子玩。选D。
【2】细节理解题。根据第七段中的Dr Sarah Dauncey, medical director of Nuffield Health, said, “People need to get fitter, not just for their own sake, but for the sake of their families, friends and evidently their pets too.”( Sarah Dauncey博士,纳菲尔德健康医疗主任说,“人们需要获得健康,不只是为了自己,也是为了他们的家人、朋友,明显地还有他们的宠物。)可知,如果英国人不改变懒惰的习惯,宠物就会受罪了。故选A。
【3】细节理解题。从文章第三段开始,文章就是陈述的是这项调查的结果,让读者相信英国人是懒惰的。故选A。

【题目】The biggest challenge faced by travelers especially those who like to have a hiking trip is how to ensure a steady supply of clean clothes. Now, thanks to a great invention called Scrubba Wash Pack, that worry may be a thing of the past.
The portable(手提的) washing machine was invented by Ash Newland in 2010, while planning to climb Mt. Kilimanjaro. Struck by the limited packing space, he got inspiration(灵感) from traditional washboards to create a bag that could be used to clean clothes. Then he gave up his career as a lawyer and focused on perfecting the bag’s design. By 2012, the bag was ready for the public. It weighed only 180 grams and required very little storage space, making it perfect for anyone wishing to travel light.
Not surprisingly, the bag worth 55 dollars was an instant hit with travelers, university students and even passengers. However, Newland was not satisfied. He still saw a flaw(缺点) with his invention – dirty clothes had to be carried around in a separate bag! The recently introduced Scrubba Wash Pack solves that problem.
In order to make the pack active, dirty clothes are placed inside the bag along with two to three liters of water. The bag is then shut tightly to ensure all air is squeezed out(挤出去) and the clothes are massaged for a few minutes. After a quick wash, they are clean and ready to be dried. According to Newland, the pack can clean anything from jeans to smelly socks! What’s even more amazing is that with a capacity to hold 13-liters of water, it can be used to wash more clothes at a time.
The best part is that the 99-dollar pack that will be available for sale later this year, only weighs 300 grams and is completely foldable, making it easy to store when it’s not in use. With the Scrubba Wash Pack, wandering through foreign cities searching for a washing shop, or paying for washing machines may soon be a thing of the past!
【1】What led Ash Newland to create the Scrubba Wash Bag?
A. His job requirements. B. His personal experience.
C. His interest in invention. D. A traditional washboard.
【2】Why wasn’t Ash Newland satisfied with his former invention?
A. The invention was not so convenient.
B. Clothes couldn’t be washed well.
C. The bag couldn’t contain enough water.
D. The cost of the invention was very high.
【3】It can be inferred that the improved Wash Pack ______.
A. turns to be much environmentally friendlier
B. will replace the traditional washing machines
C. can encourage more people to travel a long distance
D. will be widely used by more travelers in the future
【4】What is the passage mainly about?
A. Introducing a great new invention.
B. Explaining the development of backpack
C. Listing some common problems for travelers.
D. Comparing two kinds of washing machines.

Last year, during the summer holiday, I found part-time job, worked in a toothbrush factory at night. Not until I experienced it did I realized that it was no easy job.I went to work when my parents were going to bed. On the morning, when my parents were going to work, I came to home to sleep. This backward schedule was very tough for me that I often felt tiring. But I am glad that I had this unforgettable experience. Not only is it fun to “rise and shine” along with the moon or stars, but also I had learned to appreciate the hard work of those which are working while the rest of us are sleeping.

【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。
Two of the hardest things to accomplish in this world are to acquire wealth by honest effort and, having gained it, to learn how to use it properly. Recently I walked into the locker room of a rather well-known golf club after finishing a round. It was in the late afternoon and most of the members had left for their homes. But a half-dozen or so men past middle age were still seated at tables talking aimlessly and drinking more than was good for them. These same men can be found there day after day, and, strangely enough, each one of these men had been a man of affairs and wealth, successful in business and respected in the community if material prosperity were the chief necessity for happiness, then each one should have been happy. Yet, it seemed to me, something very important was missing, or else there would not have been the constant effort to escape the realities of life through Scotch and soda. They knew, each one of them, that their productivity had ceased(停止).When a fruit tree ceases to bear its fruit, it is dying. And it is even so with man.
What is the answer to a long and happy existence in this world of ours? I think I found it long ago in a passage from the book of Genesis which caught my eye while I was looking through my Bible. The words were few, but they became memorably impressed on my mind:“In the sweat of the face shall you eat the bread.”
To me, that has been a challenge from my earliest recollections (memories). In fact, the battle of life, of existence, is a challenge to everyone. The immortal words of St. Paul, too, have been and always will be a great inspiration to me. At the end of the road I want to be able to feel that I have fought a good fight, I have finished the course, I have kept the faith.
【1】Which of the following is indicated in the first paragraph?
A. Wealth results from honest effort.
B.The men seated at tables in the locker room are lost in the significance of life.
C.For some people, no way can be found to escape the realities of life other than Scotch and soda.
D.The men acquire wealth by planting fruit trees.
【2】 The underlined sentence “In the sweat of the face shall you eat the bread” means “________”.
A. Bread tastes delicious when sweat pours off your face
B.No pains, no gains
C.Failure is the mother of success
D.Bread comes from the sweat on your face
【3】We learn from the passage that the author ________.
A.was a wealthy person in the community
B.held a positive attitude towards an active life
C.was fond of associating with celebrities (名人)
D.kept a secret of the reason why he was so impressed
【4】What is implied in the passage by the writer?
A.To use wealth properly, eat, drink and be merry.
B.Where there is a will, there is a way.
C.As life is but like a dream, a man is like a fruit tree.
D.If you cease to struggle, you cease to live.
