People know that an apple is better than a Snickers bar, but they often eat the Snickers bar anyway. After conducting hundreds of studies on the psychology of how and why we eat, I’ve seen that it’s good to understand nutrition, but it’s much better to change your eating environment. Doing so can help you make better choices without even thinking about it.Part 1We all know children can be stubbornly habitual in what they want to eat. If kids had French fries yesterday, they want them again today. We came up with a simple way to interrupt this default. Instead of asking kids what they want, what if we ask them about someone they admire?We studied this with elementary school–aged children one summer. We treated 22 kids to apple slices or fries at a fast-food restaurant. The first week, 20 of them ordered French fries, and two ordered apple slices. But the next week, we asked, “What would Batman eat apple slices or French fries?” After they answered for Batman, we asked them what they wanted. This time, the number of kids who ordered apple slices jumped from two to ten—almost half of them.If you ask yourself before deciding between the salad and the cheesy bacon fries, “What would my role model choose?” you’ll be a lot less tempted. Thinking about what a well-liked person would do makes us less indulgent. Part 2If we knew what a skinny person’s kitchen looked like, we could set up our own kitchens in a similar way. Once we got into people’s homes, we took pictures of everything their dishes, sinks, refrigerator shelves, counters, snacks, pet-food dishes, tables, lighting — even random items held up by magnets on their refrigerators. Then we spent eight months coding these kitchens to see what thin people do differently.We wondered if big kitchens turn us into big people. But it turns out that kitchen size isn’t the problem. It’s what you see in the kitchen. The average woman who kept potato chips on the counter weighed eight pounds more than her neighbor who didn’t. “In sight, in stomach.” We eat what we see, not what we don’t.21．Which of the following is closest in meaning to the underlined part “less indulgent”?A. self-confidentB. self-controlledC. self-estimatedD. self-centered22．What’s the writer’s purpose of writing this passage?A. To give advice on how to become slim.B. To warn people that nutrition education is important for our daily life.C. To tell us that someone children admire may influence their eating habits.D. To introduce some innovative ways to help us eat healthier.23．What is the best title for part 2?A. The Slim Per son’s KitchenB. How to decorate your KitchenC. Kitchen size makes a differenceD. Big kitchens are more popularB篇Unlike chemists and physicists, who usually do their experiments using machines, biologists and medical researchers have to use living things like rats. But there are three Nobel prize-winning scientists who actually chose to experiment on themselves –all in the name of science, reported The Telegraph.1. Werner Forssmann (Nobel prize winner in 1956)Forssmann was a German scientist. He studied how to put a pipe inside the heart to measure the pressure inside and decide whether a patient needs surgery.Experiments had been done on horses before, so he wanted to try with human patients. But it was not permitted because the experiment was considered too dangerous.Not giving up, Forssmann decided to experiment on himself. He anaesthetized (麻醉) his own arm and made a cut, putting the pipe 30 centimeters into his vein. He then climbed two floors to the X-ray room before pushing the pipe all the way into his heart.2. Barry Marshall (Nobel prize winner in 2005)Most doctors in the mid-20th century believed that gastritis was down to stress, spicy food or an unusually large amount of stomach acid. But in 1979 an Australian scientist named Robin Warren found that the disease might be related to a bacteria called Helicobacter pylori.So he teamed up with his colleague, Barry Marshall, to continue the study. When their request to experiment on patients was denied, Marshall bravely drank some of the bacteria. Five days later, he lost his appetite and soon was vomiting each morning – he indeed had gastritis.3. Ralph Steinman (Nobel prize winner in 2011)This Canadian scientist discovered a new type of immune system cell called the dendritic cell. He believed that it had the ability to fight against cancer. Steinman knew he couldn’t yet use his method to treat patients. So in 2007, when doctors told him that he had cancer and that it was unlikely for him to live longer than a year, he saw an opportunity.With the help of his colleagues, he gave himself three different vaccines based on his research and a total of eight experimental therapies. Even though Steinman eventually died from his cancer, he lived four and a half years, much longer than doctors had said he would.24．What’s the main purpose of the article?A. To introduce a few Nobel prize winners who did experiments onthemselves.B. To list difficulties that scientists went through in order to make importantdiscoveries.C. To explain why some scientists chose to experiment on themselves.D. To introduce some dangerous experiments that Nobel prize winners didon themselves.25．Which of the following is TRUE according to the article?A. Forssmann’s experiment ended in failure.B. Forssmann had the pipe pushed all the way into his heart.C. Barry Marshall succeeded by drinking some Helicobacter pylori.D. Barry Marshall’s experiment on himself confirmed that most doctors’belief about gastritiswas correct.26．The underlined word “gastritis” in Par agraph 5 probably means ______.A. a kind of bacteriaB. a kind of stomach diseaseC. a new type of therapyD. a large amount of stomach acid27．From the text, we can conclude that Ralph Steinman ______.A. discovered a new type of cancer cell called the dendritic cellB. tried different therapies containing the dendritic cell on himselfC. had his request to experiment on patients deniedD. believed that he was better than doctors at treating cancerC篇Do you want to speak fluent English like native English speaker, like Obama or Cameron?

Covering an area of over 4,000 square kilometers, Qinghai Lake is also the country’s biggest salt-water lake.Located in Northwest China’s Qinghai Province, the lake is famous for the two islands at its northwest point--Cormorant Island and Egg Island.The two islands have plenty of floating grass and various schools of fish, offering rich food sources for birds. The islands have become a paradise for different kinds of groups of birds and have been called ‘Bird Islands’.Each March and April, when ice and snow covering the Qinghai-Tibet Plateau starts to melt, over 20 kinds of birds fly to the Bird Islands to lay eggs. During the months, flocks of birds cover the whole sky over the islands and birds eggs can be found everywhere. Visitors can hear the singing of birds from miles away. These have become a world famous symbol of the lake.To protect this paradise for birds and support calls for ecological protection, China set up the Qinghai Lake Natural Protection Zone at the end of 1997. Meanwhile, the State has pointed out the Bird Islands and Spring Bay of the Qinghai Lake as central protection zones.Inspection officials and management employees often patrol the lake, improving local residents’ knowledge of related laws and spreading knowledge about animal protection to visitors. They are making great efforts to call on people to love and protect the birds.At the same time, they have built special fences around the island area, to prevent wolves, foxes and other carnivorous animals, as well as illegal hunters from breaking up the birds’ nest-building, egg-laying and breeding. As a result, more and more birds are coming to the islands for sheltering and breeding.33. Why are more and more birds coming to the biggest salt-water lake in the Great Northwest?A. Because it is getting warmer and warmer.B. Because it is being reformedC. Because environments there are getting more and more agreeable forthem to live in.D. Because the people there are becoming richer and richer34.

Not long ago, experiments sho6wed that birds rely 61 the sun to guide them during daylight hours. But what about birds 62 fly by night? Tests with artificial（人造的）stars have proved that certain night flying birds are able to follow the stars in their long-distance flights.A dove（鸽子）had spent its lifetime in a cage and had never flown under a 63 (nature) sky. Yet 64 showed an inborn ability to use the stars for guidance. The bird’s cage65 (place) under an artificial star-filled sky. The bird tried to fly in the same direction 66 (take) by his outdoor cousins. Any change in the position of the make-believe stars caused 67 change in the direction of his flight.Scientists think that doves, when 68 (fly) in daylight, use the sun for guidance. But the stars are apparently their principal means of navigation. What do they do 69 the stars are hidden by clouds? 70 (obvious), they find their way by such landmarks as mountain ranges, coastlines, and river cour ses. But when it’s too dark to see these, the doves circle helplessly, unable to get their position.五、短文改错，10处，10分下面短文中有10处语言错误。
