AIt is obvious that doctors recognize obesity as a health problem. So why is it so hard for them to talk to their patients about it?The results of two surveys, one of primary care physicians and the other of patients, found that while most doctors want to helppatients lose weight and think it is their responsibility to do so, they often don’t know what to say.“So while doctors may tell patients they are overweight, the convers ation often ends there,” said Christine C. Ferguson, director of the Stop Obesity Alliance. “Patients are not told about the possibility of diabetes (a kind of disease),” she said. “And doctors don’t feel they have good information to give. They felt that they didn’t have adequate tools to address this problem.The lack of dialogue hurts patients, too. The patient survey, of over 1,000 adults, found that most overweight patients don’t even know that they’re too heavy. Only 39 percent of overweight people surveyed had ever been told by a health care provider that they were overweight.Of those who were told they were obese, 90 percent were alsotold by their doctors to lose weight, the survey found. In fact most have tried to lose weight and may have been successful in the past—and many are still trying, the survey found. And many understand that losing even a small amount of weight can have a positive impact on their health and reduce their risk of obesity­related diseases like hypertension and diabetes.Dr. William Bestermann Jr., medical director of Holston Medical Group, in Kingsport, Tenn. , which ranks the 10th in obesity among metropolitan areas in the United States, said the dialogue had to be anongoing one and could not be dropped after just one mention of the problem. “If you’re to be successful with helping your patients lose weight, you have to talk to them at actually every visit about their progress, and find something to encourage them and coach them,” he said.He acknowledged that many doctors tend to be not optimistic.“Part of this is that there's this common belief, and doctors are burdened by it, too, that overweight people are weak-willed and just don’t have any willpower and are self­indulgent and all that business,” he said. “If you think that way, you’re not going to spend time having a productive conversation.”1. What is the Stop Obesity Alliance most probably in Paragraph 3?A. An organization of doctors specializing in obesity.B. An organization of patients suffering from obesity.C. A research group that conducts special surveys about overweight people.D. A research group dealing with doctor-patient relationship.2. How many of the patients surveyed have been advised by their doctors to lose weight?A. About 350.B. About 390.C. About 900.D. About 1,000.3. What can be inferred about obesity patients in Paragraph 5?A. They are not as hopeless as doctors think they are.B. Most of them have tried hard to lose weight, but in vain.C. Without their doct ors’ constant coaching, there is little chance of their succeeding in losing weight.D. Most of them have just given up their hope of becoming less heavy.4. According to the passage, which factor contributes to the lack of dialogue between doctors and patients?A. Most doctors just never think of warning their patients about their weight problem.B. Many doctors find it difficult to persuade overweight people to lose weight.C. Most patients are too weak-willed to do anything about their weight.D. Many patients tend not to trust their doctors about their weight problem.5. Which of the following is the best title of the passage?A. Obesity in the U. S.B. Trouble of overweight Americans.C. Talk more, help better.D. Doctors or patients-who to bear more blame?BThe cultural and natural values of Kakadu National Park were recognized internationally when the Park was placed on the UNESCO World Heritage List. This is an international register of properties that are recognized as having outstanding cultural or natural values of international significance. Kakadu is the largest national park in Australia and is the second largest national park in the world. Kakaduis a biological wonderland, which is almost 8,000 square miles. The wildlife in Kakadu National Park includes over 280 kinds of birds, 60 kinds of native mammals, 55 kinds of freshwater fish, thousands of insects, and many reptiles, the most famous of which is the salt-water crocodile. All life in the park depends on water.Kakadu is not only home to the wildlife but the area is also famous for the longest continuous human culture that exists in the world. Aborigines have been living in this area for at least 40,000 years. The descendants(后裔) of these First Australians still live in Kakadu today. Kakadu contains one of the longest continuous records of rock art in the world, with around 5,000 paintings, with rock sites dating back 25,000 years. More than 1,000 sites have been recorded. Kakadu has been given double World Heritage status by the United Nations. It is one of only 17 of the 469 World heritage Areas listed for both natural and cultural values.It is Australia’s largest national park, but it isn’t just the size that surprises visitors—it is the sense of something very old and grand. Creation of the 500 km escarpment (悬崖) began 2,000 million years ago. Today those gorges are filled with rainforests, washed by waterfalls.Kakadu is one of the world’s special places. It is hard to pick the ideal time to visit Kakadu. In the wet season large areas of the park are closed to the public. It would not be possible to enter or exit from the park through the Kakadu Highway. Most of the people there agree that the best time to visit is at the end of the dry season. Some areas of Kakadu have restricted visiting times, and some are not open to the general public. Over 230 000 tourists visit Kakadu National Park every year. As you enter Kakadu National Park, you will be required to buy a permit. Part of this money is paid to the Traditional Owners of the land and the rest is given to the repairs of the park.6. Why does the author mention so much wildlife in Paragraph 1?A. To represent the scene of the nature.B. To attract readers’ attention.C. To take the wildlife for example.D. To show the value of the park.7. Kakadu is given double World Heritage status by the United Nations because of _____.A. the descendants of these First Australians still in Kakadu todayB. the particular environment and the unusual rock artC. the longest continuous human culture that exists in the worldD. Aborigines living in this area for at least 40,000 years8. The followings are mentioned in the passage except _____.A. living things in KakaduB. the escarpment and the gorgesC. the history of the parkD. the weather of the area9. The underlined word gorges in Paragraph 3 means _____.A. narrow valleys between hills or mountainsB. buildings where cases are determinedC. large and open structures for sports eventsD. places where something is located10. What does the author advise visitors to do when they go to Kakadu?A. To get more information about the special place.B. To make a better choice between the wet and dry season.C. Not to enter the national park without permission.D. Not to go there through the Kakadu Highway.C(London)—If it really is what’s on the inside that counts, then a lot of thin people might be in trouble.Some doctors now think that the internal fat surrounding important organs like the heart or liver could be as dangerous as the external fat which can be noticed more easily.“Being thin doesn’t surely mean you are not fat,” said Dr Jimmy Bell at Imperial College. Since 1994, Bell and his team have scanned nearly 800 people with MRI machines to create “fat maps” showing where people store fat.According to the result, people who keep their weight through diet rather than exercise are likely to have major deposits of internal fat, even if they are slim.Even people with normal Body Mass Index scores can have surprising levels of fat deposits inside. Of the women, as many as 45 percent of those with normal BMI scores (20 to 25) actually had too high levels of internal fat. Among men, the percentage was nearly 60 percent.According to Bell, people who are fat on the inside are actually on the edge of being fat. They eat too many fatty and sugary foods, but they are not eating enough to be fat. Scientists believe we naturallystore fat around the belly first, but at some point, the body may start storing it elsewhere.Doctors are unsure about the exact dangers of internal fat, but some think it has something to do with heart disease and diabetes. They want to prove that internal fat damages the body’s communication systems.The good news is that internal fat can be easily burned off through exercise or even by improving your diet. “If you want to be healthy, there is no short cut. Exercise has to be an important part of your lifestyle,” Bell said.11. What is this piece of news mainly about?A. Thin people may be fat inside.B. Internal fat is of no importance.C. Internal fat leads to many diseases.D. Thin people also have troubles.12. Doctors have found _____.A. the exact dangers of internal fatB. internal fat is the cause of heart disease and diabetesC. being slim is not dangerous at allD. being slim doesn’t mean you are not fat inside13. According to the passage, which of the following is WRONG?A. Exercise can help to reduce the internal fat.B. People can get rid of internal fat by improving diet.C. Men are more likely to have too much internal fat.D. People with heart disease all have internal fat.14. From the last paragraph, we can find that _____.A. whether internal fat can lead to disease has been provedB. exercise plays in important role in people’s life for keeping healthyC. thin people usually have internal fat even if they are slimD. it is easier to burn off internal fat than external fat15. The underlined part in the last paragraph means _____.A. a long roadB. an easy wayC. a clear differenceD. a short distanceDFor years, there has been a bias(偏见)against science among clinical psychologists. In a two-year analysis to be published in November in Perspectives on Psychological Science, psychologists led by Timothy B. Baker of the University of Wisconsin charge that manyclinical psychologists fail to “provide the treatments for which there is the strongest evidence of effectiveness” and “give more weight to thei r personal experiences than to science.” As a result, patients have no guarantee that their “treatment will be informed by …science.” Walter Mischel of Columbia University is even crueler in his judgment. “The disconnect between what clinical psychologists do and what science has discovered is an extreme embarrassment,” he told me, and “there is a widening gap between clinical practice and science.”The “widening” reflects the great progress that psychological research has made in identifying the most effective treatments. Thanks to strict clinical trials, we now know that teaching patients to think about their thoughts in new, healthier ways and to act on those new ways of thinking are effective against depression, panic disorder and other problems, with multiple trials showing that these treatments—the tools of psychology—bring more lasting benefits than drugs.You wouldn’t know this if you sought help from a typicalclinical psychologist. Although many treatments are effective,relatively few psychologists learn or practice them.Why in the world not? For one thing, says Baker, clinical psychologists are “very doubtful about the role of science” and “lack solid science training”. Also, one third of patients get better no matter what treatment (if any) they have, “and psychologists rememberthese successes, believing, wrongly, that they are the result of the treatment.”When faced with evidence that treatments they offer are not supported by science, clinical psychologists argue that they know better than some study that works. A 2008 study of 591 psychologists in private practice found that they rely more on their own and colleagues’ experience than on science when deciding how to treat a patient. If they keep on this path as insurance companies demand evidence-based medicine, warns Mischel, psychology will “discredit itself.”16. Many clinical psychologists fail to provide the most effective treatments because _____.A. they are unfamiliar with their patientsB. they believe in science and evidenceC. they depend on their colleagues’ helpD. they rely on their personal experiences17. The widening gap between clinical practice and science is due to _____.A. the cruel judgment by Walter MischelB. the fact that most patients get better after being treatedC. the great progress that has been made in psychological researchD. the fact that patients prefer to take drugs rather than have other treatments18. How do clinical psychologists respond when charged thattheir treatments are not supported by science?A. They feel embarrassed.B. They try to defend themselves.C. They are disappointed.D. They doubt their treatments.19. In Mischel’s opinion, psychology will ______.A. destroy its own reputation if no improvement is madeB. develop faster with the support of insurance companiesC. work together with insurance companies to provide better treatmentD. become more reliable if insurance companies won’t demand evidence-based medicine20. What is the purpose of this passage?A. To show the writer’s disapproval of clinical psychologists.B. To inform the readers of the risks of psychological treatments.C. To explain the effectiveness of treatments by clinical psychologists.D. To introduce the latest progress of medical treatment in clinical psychology.参考答案1—5 BAABC 6—10 DBCAB11—15 ADDBB 16—20 DCBAA。

Being called to the human resources department is a little like being called to the principal’s office. “Annie,”she said, “A food bank in our town that serves the elderly is asking for 36 . I’d like you to organize the event and see it through.”“Well, um, errr…sure. I guess so.”As I stuttered(结结巴巴地说) through my 37 , all I could think was, “What? Why me?”I walked back to my office without any idea as to where to 38 . This was a time when the economy was 39 . The rise in unemployment forced the families of many of my coworkers to 40 to survive. How could I ask my coworkers for more?That evening I drove home filled with negativity. Then I remembered a time long ago when my father was out of work. Mom wrote a note to Jim, the milkman, asking him notto 41 any more milk. Two days later Jim picked up the 42 and left four liters of milk. He wrote his own message on the back side of Mom’s. It read, “Kids need milk.”The milk40.

Theschools were dismissed early, but much to my surprise, my 36wasn’t canceled. So I went, feeling especially heroic. As far as I could see, I was risking my life to keep my 37 . Snow or no snow, I would be on time for my scheduled donation at the local 38 center.When I got there, I discovered I wasn’t 39 . Four more “hero-types”were already lying back in donor chairs with lines 40 to their veins, and machines quietly pumping away to 41 their lifesaving gifts.Seeing my fellow donors honoring their own commitments, I realized why I was there. I lay back in my donor chair, ready to make a difference in the life of someone I would never 42 .To be honest, I’d never really thought about why I donate. I just do it. But a few months ago, during one of my 43 donations I learned that my blood was specifically for a cancer patient and for a newborn baby—both patients needed what I would give in order to live. I’ve viewed my visits to the blood center 44 ever since.My wife Karen is a 45 , too. And more importantly, she has been on the bone marrow (骨髓) list for fifteen years, ever since she signed up to provide bone marrow to a kindergartner with leukemia(白血病). That little girl died before Karen’s bone marrow couldhelp her, 46 Karen was called again recently. Her test results were still on file, and it turned out she was a potential 47 for someone else. The caller asked Karen if she would still be willing to become a bone marrow donor. “Yes,”she said and then immediately began answering questions on the pages of paperwork for further testing. It was a race 48 time.I wish I could say that this 49 was won. It wasn’t. The caller later thanked Karen for her participation and asked a few more questions—including whether or not she’d 50 on the donor list. “Of course, “Karen answered.Last week Karen gave blood and next week I’ll make my usual donation. I’ll 51 an afternoon from my schedule and make an appointment. I don’t know whose life my donation may 52 . Most likely it will be a 53 , but on any day the person needing a blood product could be you or me or maybe a loved one. It is worthwhile to 54 our time to donate.I really do feel 55 every time I donate. And I like the feeling.36. A. appointment B. class C. meeting D. flight37. A. secret B. balance C. shape D. word38.

It was time for the weekly eleventh-grade volleyball game. I knew I would never be the best 36 on any team. But every week, I stared at my shoes and simply wished I wouldn’t be picked 37 . And yet I was last almost every time. No team wanted the girl who always 38 the ball, and missed the easy serves.Years later I realized how much those moments of 39 had affected me. I began to expect the 40 in every situation, repeatedly telling myself that I just wasn’t good enough.I grew up staring at my 41 .All that began to 42 during the summer vacation in high school. My mom’s sister Aunt Karen, offered me a part-time job. I had always admired Aunt Karen 43 she was successful and led such an exciting life. Her good manner and warm smile were totally different from the 44 way I approached the world. But that summer she taught me to look at things 45 .Aunt Karen said that the secret 46 success comes from the inside, not the outside. I was shocked to learn her experience had been similar to mine. She hadn’t been good at 47 , either! Aunt Karen said she finally realized what other people thought of her didn’t 48 as much as what she thought of herself. She told me when she started noticing her own good qualities, she 49 being so self-critical.So that summer I took her 50 to heart. I listened to what I was saying to myself and decided to focus more on the good. For example, when I misfiled an important paper, I 51 myself of all the other ones I had filed correctly. And when I was shown the dirty closet, I said to myself that I would be great at 52 it. Before long I had learned a valuable lesson. 53 thinking actually works!By the time school started that fall, I was much more 54 . I went along with people around me with a totally different attitude. When my chemistry teacher announced that we should each find a lab partner, 55 looking down at my shoes, I looked up and smiled.

People call in, and you have to go out and make an offer. “You can’t 36 what you don’t have.”my father would say.When I was aged thirteen, my father lost his store 37 , a one-armed guy who could do more with his one arm than many will do with two. With his manager gone, my father came to me. “Will you come in while I go out to 38 the day’s calls until I find the 39 person?”he asked.The store has tens of thousands of 40 . “People like to bargain,”he told me, “So I don’t 41 prices. You just have to know a 42 .”He took me around. “A quarter-horse motor you can sell for four dollars. For a refrigerator, depending on the 43 , you can sell for thirty-five dollars to sixty dollars. However, if it has a freezer that goes well, sell it for eighty dollars, in 44 condition, maybe one hundred dollars. Dishes come in with a houseful of furniture, and I don’t even 45 them in when I give a price. You can sell them for a cent to a dollar. Something really nice.”Every day after 46 , I would ride to the store. Soon after, I was writing up a sales slip （纸条）for an attractive plate when my father walked in. I had asked a dollar and the guy did not 47 . I was very pleased. My father glanced down at what I was doing, 48 to the customer and said, “You sure got a bargain today. My employee gave you the 49 andthat’s the price.”Afterward, I asked my father, “what was that all about ?”It turned out that it was an antique plate, worth a few hundred dollars. I was 50 . Here I was 51 to help my father in the business and instead I was losing money for him.He said, “I could’ve 52 the sales if I’d wanted to. You were just writing up the slip and hadn’t yet taken the money. Besides, by civil law, you’re under 53 . But, a man stands by his word and the word of his 54 .”The deal cost my father a small amount of money, but I learned a 55 lesson in integrity（正直）.36. A. buy B. sell C. order D. store37.
