18.The Cunning Cat and His Company
The Cat was nine years old.To celebrate his birthday,he sent out(61)invitations (invite) to all his neighbors.
Everyone was glad to go.Next Monday at 5o'clock in the afternoon,the Cat's neighbors began arriving.(62)By half past five the room was full(63)wherethere were all sorts of birds,sparrows,swallows,woodpeckers and (64)other small animals.
"Welcome,"said the Cat."It (65)promises (promise) to be a wonderful party.I can't tell you how(66)pleased (please) I am to see you all.Make yourselves at home."
"Thank you,"they said."But where's the entertainment?"
"You,"said the Cat,smiling."I expect you to entertain yourselves as well as me."
They were somewhat surprised,(67)but they did not want to displease the Cat.So the birds chirped,sang their (68)latest (late) songs,circled in midair,dived from the ceiling.The squirrels and chipmunks made up a game of hide-and-seek.Then they grew tired.They also grew hungry.
"And now,"they said,"Where's the dinner?"
"You again,"said the Cat,(69)locking (lock) the door."You are the dinner."And,one by one,he began to eat the guests.
Next morning,all that (70)was left (leave) of the Cat's party was a large heap of fur and feathers.
Don't put your trust in fancy promises.

分析 本段文字讲述了一只狡猾的猫在庆祝九岁生日时邀请了它所有的邻居,许多鸟类和小动物都来了,狡猾的猫没准备任何娱乐项目,而是让邻居们自娱自乐,邻居们都玩累了,饿了的时候就问猫晚餐吃什么,猫回答道:"你们就是晚餐",然后狡猾的猫锁上了门,把这些邻居们一个一个都吃掉了.第二天早上,聚会剩下的就只有一些动物的皮毛和羽毛.所以,不要把信任放到华丽的允诺上.

解答 61.invitations;    考查名词   此处用在动词短语之后作宾语,应使用invite的名词形式;由于是要发给所有邻居们,故用复数形式invitations
62.By;   考查介词.By"到…时间为止"
63.wher;  考查定语从句.先行词是the room,用关系副词where,在从句中充当地点状语.
64.other;   考查形容词.这句的意思是"有许多鸟类和其他的小动物".
65.promises; 考查动词作谓语.该空在直接引语里面,根据上下文,用一般现在时态.
66.pleased;  考查形容词.pleased过去分词形式作形容词,表示"高兴的,愉悦的".
67.but;  考查连词.根据上下文语境,这里表示转折关系,所以用but.
68.latest;  考查形容词的最高级.修饰名词songs,只能用late的最高级,表示"最新的".
69.locking; 考查动词的分词作非谓语.现在分词表示主动,过去分词表示被动,句中动词与主语之间是主动关系,所以用locking.
70.was left;  考查动词作谓语.根据上下文句意,这里要用用被动语态的过去时.

点评 首先要通读全文,了解大意,抓住上下文语境所提供的信息,仔细分析带空格的句子,明确空格所要填的词义,词型和短语搭配给出所要填的正确形式,然后整体阅读短文,核对答案.

16.Scientists from the University of East Anglia have identified four new man-made gases that are contributing to the damage to the ozone(臭氧) layer.Two of the gases are accumulating at a rate that is causing concern among researchers.
Worries over the growing ozone hole have seen the production of chlorofluorocarbon (CFC) gases restricted since the mid 1980s.But the precise origin of these new,similar substances remains a mystery.
Lying in the atmosphere,the ozone layer plays a critical role in blocking harmful UV rays,which cause cancers in humans and reproductive problems in animals.
Scientists from the British Antarctic Survey were the first to discover a huge"hole"in the ozone over Antarctica in 1985.The evidence quickly pointed to CFC gases,which were invented in the 1920s,and were widely used in refrigeration.Extraordinarily,global action was rapidly agreed to deal with CFCs and the Montreal Protocol to limit these substances came into being in 1987.A total global ban on production came into force in 2010.
Now,the newly discovered four new gases can destroy ozone and are getting into the atmosphere from as yet unidentified sources.Three of the gases are CFCs and one is a hydrochlorofluorocarbon (HCFC),which can also damage ozone.
The research has shown that four gases were not around in the atmosphere at all until the 1960s,which suggests they are man-made.The scientists discovered the gases by analyzing polar snow pack.Air from this snow is a natural archive of what was in the atmosphere up to 100years ago.The researchers also looked at modern air samples,collected at remote Cape Grim in Tasmania.
They estimate that about 74,000tonnes of these gases have been released into the atmosphere.Two of the gases are accumulating at significant rates.However,they don't know where the new gases are being released from and this should be investigated.Possible sources include chemicals  for insecticide(杀虫剂) production and solvents(溶液)  for cleaning electronic ponents.The three CFCs are being destroyed very slowly in the atmosphere-so even if emissions(散发) were to stop immediately,they will still be around for many decades to come.
Of the four species identified,CFC-113a seems the most worrying as there is a very small but growing emission source somewhere,maybe from agricultural insecticides.We should find it and take it out of production.

63.What do we know about the newly discovered gases?B
A.Some are surely produced by the development of agriculture.
B.The CFCs will have a long impact once they are released.
C.They gather together in the atmosphere at a medium speed.
D.Their amounts are not large enough to cause damage to us.
64.The underlined word"archive"in Paragraph 6is closest to the meaning of"D"
A.state          B.resource          C.phenomenon        D.storeroom
65.What will the scientists probably attempt to do about the gases next?C
A.Find out what can replace things like insecticides and put them into use.
B.Find out how they destroy ozone and get rid of those in the atmosphere.
C.Find out where they are exactly from and stop them from being released.
D.Find out if HCFC is more harmful than CFCs and take proper measures.

9.The World Health Organization says there has been a sharp increase in the number of over-weight children in developing countries.In African countries,the WHO says the number of over-weight or obese children is twice as high as it was 20 years ago.Around the world,about 43 million children under the age of five were overweight in 2013.
    Overweight and obese children are more likely to become overweight and obese adults.The

6.Now Hear This
What do former American president Bill Clinton and rock musician Pete Townshend have in common.'?Both men have hearing damage from exposure to loud music,and both now wear hearing aids as a consequence.As a teenager,Clinton played saxophone in a band.Townshend,who has the more severe hearing loss,was a guitarist for a band called the Who.He is one of the first rock musicians to call the public's attention to the problem of hearing loss from exposure to loud music.
Temporary hearing loss can happen after only 15minutes of listening to loud music.One early warning sign is when your ears begin to feel warm while you listen to music at a rock concert or through headphones.One later is that an unusual sound or a ringing is sometimes produced in your head after the concert.
"What happens is that the hair cells in the inner ear are damaged,but they're not dead,"says physician and ear specialist Dr.Sam Levine.According to Dr.Levine,if you avoid further exposure to loud noise,it's possible to   recondition  the cells somewhat.However,he adds,"Eventually,over a long period of time,hair cells are permanently damaged."And this is no small problem.
What sound level is dangerous?According to Dr.Levine,regular exposure to noise above 85decibels (分贝) is considered dangerous.The chart below offers a comparison of decibel levels to certain sounds.Here's another measurement you can use.If you're at a rock concert and the music is so loud that you have to shout to make yourself heard,you're at risk for hearing loss.That's when wearing protective devices such as earplugs becomes critical.
The facts are pretty frightening.But are rock bands turning down the volume.'?Most aren't."Rock music is supposed to be loud,"says drummer Andrew Sather."I wouldn't have it any other way.And neither would the real fans of rock."
Continued exposure to loud music and the failure to wear earplugs can lead to deafness,according to Dr.Levine.He states,"There's no cure for hearing loss.Your ears are trying to tell you something.That ringing is the scream of your hair cells dying.Each time that happens,more and more damage is done."
Levels of Common Noises
Normal conversation                            50-65dB
Food blender                                  88dB
Jet plane flying above a person standing outside      103dB
Rock band during a concert                      110-140dB
63.From Paragraph 1,we can learn thatA.
A.loud music is a major cause of hearing loss
B.famous people tend to have hearing problems
C.teenagers should stay away from school bands
D.the problem of hearing damage is widely known
64.In Paragraph 3,the underlined word"recondition"meansD.
A.not to be seen                      B.to fill with sound
C.to become larger in size            D.to make good again
65.The purpose of the chart at the end of the article is to showB.
A.a list of harmful sounds
B.the effect of rock concerts
C.the noise levels of familiar sounds
D.relationship between daily activities and hearing loss
66.Which of the following statements will Dr.Sam Levine probably agree?C
A.When your ears feel warm,your hair cells are dead.
B.Drummer Andrew Sather gives good advice.
C.Many are taking the risk of losing hearing.
D.Doctors know how to cure hearing loss.

12.Eating different colored foods can keep you healthy,as well as change your mood and behavior.Here is a list of colors,which can change your life.
Blue/Purple
Blue is considered to be peaceful and calming and it has the same effect on our health.The blue/purple color in food is due primarily to their anthocyanins which are antioxidants (抗氧化剂) that are particularly heart healthy and may help support healthy blood pressure.Out of all the blue and purple foods available,blueberries are considered to have the highest antioxidant level.An analysis of the latest data from the National Health and Nutrition Examination Study found that people who eat purple and blue fruits and vegetables are at a reduced risk for high blood pressure and are less likely to be overweight.
A food and health expert says that blue and purple color foods can prevent blood mass formation,and they also lower the risk of cancer.
Foods that contain blue and purple colors are:reddish eggplant (especially the skin),blueberries,blackberries,purple grapes,etc.
Green
We all know that we should eat green as green symbolizes nature.The green foods are rich in isothiocyanates,which help resist cancer.
Dr.Ashok Agarwal,a food and nutrition specialist,explains,"They are excellent sources of folic acid,vitamin K,as well as carotene (胡萝卜素).Diets high in those above are associated with lowered blood pressure."
Foods that contain the green color are:broccoli,cabbage,cucumbers,etc.
Red
Lycopene (番茄红素) in reddish fruits and vegetables is a powerful antioxidant that has been associated with a reduced risk of some cancers,and also provides protection against heart attacks.
Dr.Smiths says,"Cooked tomato sauces are associated with greater health benefits as compared with the uncooked version as the heating process allows lycopene to be more easily absorbed by the body.Obtaining the most benefit from food depends on proper selection,storage and cooking of the produce."
Foods that contain red color are:Tomatoes and tomato products,watermelon,guava,red onions,red chili,red apples,red grapes,cherries,etc.
Orange
The orange foods are also rich in carotene,which are particularly good antioxidants.These foods are commonly considered eyesight foods because they contain vitamin A.
"Orange fruits and vegetables also play a part in preventing cancer,particularly of the lungs and stomach.Foods that contain the color orange are:Carrots,mangoes,sweet potatoes,pumpkins,etc.

56.The passage tries to tell us thatB.
A.colors mean a lot to people and their health
B.foods of different colors will have different benefits
C.eating foods with a color must prevent diseases
D.what people should eat in their daily lives
57.All the colors mentioned in the passage have the function ofC.
A.lowering blood pressure               B.improving eyesight
C.preventing cancer                     D.reducing the risk of heart disease
58.Which color can help keep us thin according to the passage?A
A.Purple.  B.Green.  C.Red.  D.Orange.
59.The green and orange foods are both rich inC.
A.vitamin A       B.folic acid          C.carotene            D.vitamin K
60.It can be inferred from the passage thatD.
A.all grapes help lower the risk of high blood pressure and cancer
B.lung cancer can be prevented by eating red-colored foods
C.green-colored foods contain a lot of vitamin A which is good for eye health
D.tomatoes should be eaten cooked so that we can benefit the most.
