【题目】阅读短文,从每题所给的四个选项(A、B、C和D)中,选出最佳选项。

Many kids don't drink enough water daily, according to a new study. The study's lead author, Erica Kenney, at first planned to look into the amount of sugary drinks kids were drinking in schools. However, during her research she found that many kids were simply not drinking enough water.
Kenney and her team examined data from a group of 4,000 children, aged 6 to19. The data was taken from the National Health and Nutrition Survey, a study on the health of children in the United States done each year by the Center for Disease Control and Prevention.
While looking through the survey results, she noticed that more than half of the kids who took part in the study were dehydrated (脱水的). Of that group, boys were 76% more likely than girls not to have enough water in their system. Nearly one quarter of the kids in the survey reported drinking no plain water at all.
“These findings highlight (突出) a possible health issue that wasn't given a lot of attention in the past,” Kenney said in a statement. “Even though for most of these kids this is not an immediate and great health risk, this is an issue that could really be reducing quality of life and well-being for many children and youth.”
The United States-National Agriculture Library says average kids need between 10 to 14 cups of water every day. This water can come from a mix of drinks and foods that contain high amounts of water, such as celery, melons or tomatoes. It is also suggested that fluids (液体) come from water instead of sugary drinks that are high in calories and can lead to weight problems.
(1)What was Erica Kenney's purpose in doing the study?
A.To study if kids drink enough water daily.
B.To prove that sugary drinks are harmful to kids
C.To show what kind of sugary drinks kids love.
D.To find out how many sugary drinks kids drink at school.
(2)According to the findings of Erica Kenney's study, we know that ________.
A.school kids cannot find drinkable water easily
B.boys are more likely to get dehydrated than girls
C.sugary drinks are very popular with school kids
D.most kids know the importance of drinking plain water
(3)From the last paragraph we learn that kids________.
A.should drink plain water to lose weight
B.can try to take in water from sugary drinks
C.can eat celery, melons and tomatoes for water
D.should drink no more than 10 cups of water every day
(4)The text mainly tells us that many kids __________.
A.don't like drinking water
B.prefer sugary drinks to water
C.are at risk of health problems
D.don't drink enough water daily

【答案】
(1)D
(2)B
(3)C
(4)D
【解析】本文是一篇说明文,介绍的是现在的孩子水分摄入量远远没有达到所需要的标准。
(1)考查细节理解。根据第一段中的“The study's lead author, Erica Kenney, at first planned to look into the amount of sugary drinks kids were drinking in schools.”可知,Erica Kenney的研究原本是想调查学生在校所喝的含糖饮料的数量的问题。故选D。
(2)考查推理判断。根据第三段中的“While looking through the survey results, she noticed that more than half of the kids who took part in the study were dehydrated (脱水的). Of that group, boys were 76% more likely than girls not to have enough water in their system”可知,超过一半参加调查的孩子都有脱水现象,其中男孩比女孩少喝水的可能性更大。也就是说男孩比女孩更容易脱水。故选B。(3)考查推理判断。根据最后一段中的“This water can come from a mix of drinks and foods that contain high amounts of water, such as celery, melons or tomatoes. ”可知,孩子们除了直接喝水之外,还可以从其他富含水分的食物中摄入水,如celery, melons, tomatoes这些蔬菜和水果。故选C。
(4)考查主旨大意。根据第一段中的“ However, during her research she found that many kids were simply not drinking enough water.”可知,本文主要告诉我们现在的孩子水分摄入严重不足,接下来几段对这一现象展开说明。故选D。

【题目】阅读理解
A Kickstarter launched Friday will allow interested parties to set up a camera and pet toys in their home for anyone to play with their pets remotely. It's called the ipet Companion, an Internet-connected camera and device that streams video online and allows basic commands from people watching. They can move the camera, look at their pet and press a button to swing a toy around.

Obviously, demand is strong. The Kickstarter proved so popular that Scott Harris, iPet Companion's founder, said that thousands of people started asking for it.
The reason why people keep talking about this is the emotional(情感的) connection they have from a thousand miles away. If you want, you can enter a queue to move the camera and play with the pets. Each room has toys that are hooked(钩住) into Internet-connected devices, and you can move them by pressing a button.
But there's sort of a problem: Pets get bored easily. Young pets will stay more interested than adult pets, but finally even a baby pet will get bored, too. To stop that from happening, you'd better limit the pets' access(接近) to the boys and change the place where they're located in the room.
Harris understands this and said you can plug anything into that adapter(适配器) ---toys that you can get on your own. And that's where the iPet Companion really gets interesting. Harris explained that the device is actually sort of a Trojan horse to bring the “Internet of things” to more homes. You don't really have to use it for pets. The adapter could be used for any device with an electrical plug---a sprinkler, say, that you'd be able to activate to water your grass.
“Our whole goal, our whole purpose is to let anyone control any physical object that they want to while they travel anywhere in the woorld,” Harris said.
根据短文内容,选择最佳答案,并将选定答案的字母标号填在题前括号内。
(1)What does the underlined word “remotely” in Paragragh 1 probably mean?
A.far away.

(2)Many people are interested in iPet Companion because______________.
A.it can be used to kill time
B.it is easy to control online
C.it can meet all of their demands
D.they can show their love for faraway pets by using it
(3)Why do the pets stop playing the toys soon?
A.Pets are not clever enough to play the toys.
B.They don't receive rewards from the games.
C.Toys are played with too often at the same place.
D.Adult pets prevent young ones from playing the games.
(4)What can we infer from what Scott Harris said?
A.iPet Companion is only a kind of toy.
B.Kickstarter can be used in many other ways.
C.iPet Companion can actually be turned into a toy horse.
D.iPet Companion can look after pets while their owners are away.

I worked as the home health nurse in the very poor city in Florida. I was often very kindly to my patients, especially the elderly. One Christmas Day as I was cooking Christmas dinner to my family, I thought of some elderly people. They were my patients who always alone at home. So I decide to make more and deliver hot meals to them. I saw my two sons play in the house happily, and I made them stop. And I asked him to help me pack and deliver these meals. As we took the food into their poor houses with no heat, they were very moving and we saw tears of joy in their eyes. My sons learned of something priceless.

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。

A city without cars would be very strange, right? But Venice is such a city.
Venice is in the northeast of Italy. It wasn't built on land, like Beijing or Shanghai, but on more than 110 islands. Seawater is everywhere around the city.
Even so, travel isn't difficult. The waterways have always been the best way to get around. There are 117 waterways and more than 400 bridges that can guide you where you want to go. People in Venice move from place to place by boat.
Water makes the city special, but it is also a big problem. Sometimes tourists will have such strange experiences. One moment they walk across the Rialto Bridge, and there's nothing special. But when they come back to the bridge an hour later, it's underwater and everyone is wearing rain shoes.
Once, people used too much underground water. This made the city get lower little by little. Now the city has gone down by 23 centimeters. Another problem is the rising seawater. The temperature has risen over the years. This has made the ice of the Arctic Ocean (北冰洋) melt (融化). Every year, high waters hit the city in autumn and winter. When a lot of water comes, more than half of the city is underwater.
Scientists are trying different ways to stop the city from getting even lower. The Italian government has asked some of Italy's biggest companies to build the MOST project, which was planned to be build under the seawater to stop the rising water. Anyway, this project is helping solve the problem.
(1)Which is the best way to travel in Venice?
A.The waterways.
B.Taxis and cars.
C.400 bridges.
D.Boats and rain shoes.
(2)What doesn't cause Venice to get lower and lower?
A.The ice of the Arctic Ocean melt.
B.Seawater is everywhere around the city.
C.People used too much underground water
D.The temperature has become higher over the years.
(3)What can we infer from the last passage?
A.Venice is sure to stop getting lower.
B.High waters won't hit Venice any more.
C.Scientists can solve the problems easily.
D.Some possible ways help to solve the problem.
(4)What's the best title of this passage?
A.The History of Venice
B.The MOST Project of Venice.
C.The Places of Interest of Venice
D.The Specials and Problems of Venice
