【题目】If you’re looking for a challenging situation to practice your English, pick up the phone. Not being able to see the other person and the body language can make the chatting difficult.【1】Here are some tips to guide you through an average phone conversation in English.
.1. Greetings
Every phone call should begin with a polite greeting such as “Hi, how’ve you been?” or “Nice to hear from you”. Even if you’re calling a business contact for a specific purpose, it’d be rude to jump right into business.【2】
.2. Getting to the point
There always comes the point where you want to move on from friendly chatting and get down to business. What should you do in this situation? 【3】However, if you are waiting to find out why someone called you, you can guide the conversation by saying “So what can I do for you?”
.3. Interrupting without offence
Sometimes you may happen to be speaking with a very talkative person.【4】Keep in mind when you’d like to interrupt, be sure to do it politely. For example, begin with “I’d like to say something here”．
.4. Closing the call
This can be the trickiest part of the conversation! It may be the time to offer good wishes such as good luck on that interview or hope you feel better soon if it’s appropriate.【5】Sometimes it’s easiest to just say you enjoyed speaking to the other person. Also remember cleverly saying the word well at the beginning of a sentence can indicate you’re ready to end the conversation.
A. So it may be difficult to get a word in.
B. Practice English through phone calls.
C. Never fear, though!
D. Use the phrase “I’m just calling to...” to change to the topic at hand.
E. Additionally, you may want to confirm any plans you’ve made.
F. You should make a little small talk at the beginning.
G. You’d better greet him or her in a friendly way.
【答案】
【1】C
【2】F
【3】D
【4】A
【5】E
【解析】本文讲述了如何用英文和其他人进行电话交谈。
【1】C考查上下文理解。根据空前的make the chatting difficult以及前文的a challenging situation可知，这里讲的是用英语进行电话交谈是多么的困难。后面便开始介绍一些有用的技巧，因此这里最有可能是鼓励读者不要害怕。
【2】F考查上下文理解。根据前文的greeting以及begin with等短语可知这里应该填入的是如何开头。再加上前面说的是business contact。故选F。
【3】D考查上下文理解。根据前文的you want to move on from friendly chatting and get down to business “你想从有好的聊天过渡到正事。”因此这里讲的是如何转移话题。进而定位到D项中的change to the topic。 选D。
【4】A考查上下文理解。根据空后的Keep in mind when you’d like to interrupt, and be sure to do it politely. “记住你什么时候想打断，并且确保礼貌地打断。”所以这里讲的是如何打断别人的长篇大论。因此A “可能插一嘴都很困难”最适合这里的语境。选A。
【5】E考查上下文理解。根据空前空后的内容可知，这里说的是结束谈话的内容。在选项中只有E和结束有关。

【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。
The key to losing weight is to understand what really interests you. Have you ever been excited about losing a few pounds? And to help you keep your weight under control, you need some coping strategies (策略).
Ask questions. When you're researching different dieting products and plans or even talking to a doctor about diets, ask as many questions as you can. Ask questions like: Do I have to buy special meals? Does the program include a part to help me keep my weight loss?
Get real. Don't burden yourself with unrealistic expectations. Remember, large amounts of weight loss are not realistic and are most likely not safe or healthy. Talk with your health care professional to determine a healthy weight goal.
To keep your weight, you must balance your intake of calories with the energy you burn. Just 30 minutes of fast walking in most days can take about 10 pounds off your weight each year.
Weigh yourself weekly. It's important to track your weight on any diet or weight loss plan, but don't get on the scale every day. Weighing daily won't show you the big picture.
A. Stay balanced.
B. Once a week is fine.
C. Stick with your healthy eating plan.
D. Losing one to two pounds a week is a realistic goal.
E. Being well informed will help you choose the best diet for you.
F. Regular weight check-ins will show you your progress over time.
G. If so, you must find a way to turn that excitement into determination.

【题目】The term "healthy obesity" has gained value over the past 15 years,but scientists have recently questioned its very existence."Our new findings suggest that health measures may be necessary for all obese（肥胖的）individuals, even those previously considered to be metabolically（代谢的）healthy,"says study first author Mikael,"Since obesity is the major driver changing gene expression in fat cells,we should continue to focus on preventing obesity."
Obesity has been a global problem,affecting approximately 600 million people worldwide and increasing the risk of heart disease,stroke,cancer,and so on.But in the 1970s and 80s,experts began to question the extent to which obesity increases the risk for these disorders.Later studies in the late 90s and early 2000s showed that some obese people show a relatively healthy life.
However,there are no accepted measures for measuring metabolically healthy obesity,and whether or not such a thing exists is now up for discussion."Our study suggests that the idea of metabolically healthy obesity may be more difficult than thought,"Mikael says,"There doesn’t appear to be a clear line that separates obese subjects with high or low insulin（胰岛素）sensitivity,indicating that obesity is the major driver explaining the changes in gene expression."
One limitation of the study is that it examined gene expression only in white fat cells,not other types.Moreover, all of the obese subjects were scheduled to experience obesity operations,so the findings may only apply to people with severe obesity.In future research,Mikael and his group will track the study patients after surgery to determine whether weight loss normalizes gene expression responses.They will also look for specific genes linked to improved metabolic health in these people.
In the meantime,the study has an important take-home message."Obese people may not be as metabolically healthy as previously believed,"Ryden says.
【1】What does the underlined phrase "healthy obesity" mean?
A. It can be healthy with obesity.
B. Obesity is necessary to be healthy.
C. Unhealthy people have no obesity.
D. Health has something to do with obesity.
【2】What leads to healthy obesity failing to prove true?
A. Lack of related patients.
B. Lack of genetic evidence.
C. Lack of research funding.
D. Lack of needed standards.
【3】What advice can readers get from the passage?
A. People should have a healthy lifestyle.
B. People should accept obesity in a way.
C. People should keep a balanced weight.
D. People should avoid obesity operations.
【4】Which can best describe the author's intention in writing the passage?
A. Compare,analyze and conclude.
B. Show,appreciate,and persuade.
C. Introduce,argue and advertise.
D. Present,inform and inspire.
