But she told me not to risk a good friendship with a boy with the title of boyfriend. It’s indeed a wise choice to stay friends with those of the opposite sex. In my opinion, even though some high school relationship might continue after graduation, the probability of them lasting much longer is so slim that there really is not a point to it.Firstly, you have to think about such a question—whether it is possible to hurt both of you, or even hurt both of your future husbands or wives. My second point is that you still can date if you hope marriage could possibly follow. Except this, ther e really is not any other reason for dating. Some students desire relationships for a chance to be romantic. While these are nice to have, there are many more important things at this point in our lives.The titles of boyfriend and girlfriend put too much stress on a relationship between high school students. Just staying as common friends may be the best choice for us. I strongly recommend we should deal with it in an appropriate way and follow our teachers’ advice if necessary.21. The author writes this passage probably for ________ to read.A. high school studentsB. school teachersC. parents and teachersD. married couples22. Between sexes, the relationship of being good friends might be ________ than that of being boy/girlfriends.A. weakerB. saferC. slimmerD. stronger23. How does the writer like the idea of dating among the students?A. Dating is a nice chance for students to be romantic.B. Studying is far more important than dating in school.C. In high school dating can surely lead to future marriage.D. Dating in high school is sure to hurt your future family.24. The underlined word “it” in the last paragraph might refer to ________ .A. the title of boyfriend or girlfriend at schoolB. advice given by both teachers and parentsC. the pressure from school lessons and sportsD. the relationship between students of opposite sexes25. What is the main idea of the passage?A. How to properly deal with the relationships among high school students.B. Making more friends in high school is good.C. Thinking about marriage in high school is unusual.D. How to properly deal with the relationships between students and teachers.(B)［2011·无锡模拟］No budget for your vacation? Try home exchanges—swapping houses with strangers. Agree to use each other’s cars, and you can save dollars on car rentals (租赁费), too.Home exchanges are not new. At least one group, Intervac, has been facilitating such an arrangement since 1953. But trading online is gaining popularity these days, with several sites in operation, including HomeExchanges. Founded in 1992, with some 28, 000 listings, this company bills itself as the world’s largest home exchange club, reporting that membership has increased 30% this year.The annual fee is usually less than $100. Members can access thousands of listings for apartments, villas, suburban homes and farms around the world. Initial contact is made via e-mail, with subsequent communication usually by phone. Before a match is made, potential swappers tend to discuss a lot.However, the concept may sound risky to some people. What about theft? Damage? These are reasonable causes for concern, but equally unlikely. As one swapper puts it, “Nobody is going to fly across the ocean or drive 600 miles to come to steal your TV. Besides, at the same time they’re staying in your home, you are staying in their home. ”Exchange sites recommend that swappers discuss such matters ahead of time. They may fill out an agreement spelling out who shoulders which responsibilities if a problem arises. It does not matter if the agreement would hold up in court, but it does give the exchangers a little satisfaction.Generally, the biggest complaint among home exchangers has to do with different standards of cleanliness. Swappers are supposed to make sure their home is in order before they depart, but one person’s idea of “clean” may be more forgiving than another’s. Some owners say ifthey come back to a less-than-sparkling kitchen, it may be inconvenient but would not sour them on future exchanges.26. What is the second paragraph mainly about?A. How to exchange homes.B. How home exchange is becoming popular.C. The biggest home exchange agency Intervac.D. A contrast between Intervac and Home Exchanges.27. Which of the fol lowing is closest in meaning to “bills” in the second paragraph?A. advertisesB. dedicatesC. replacesD. participates28. How do home exchangers normally begin their communication?A. By phone.B. By e-mail.C. Via a matchmaker.D. Via a face-to-face meeting.29. What is recommended in the passage to deal with theft and damage concerns?A. One can file a lawsuit in court.B. Both parties can trade online.C. Both parties can sign an agreement beforehand.D. One can damage the home of the other party in return.30. From the passage, we can infer that ________ .A. home exchanges online have been popular for a long timeB. members can access all listings in the home exchange clubC. there is no need to worry about theft in this clubD. the swappers’ homes ar e always in order before their depart(C)［2011·嘉兴模拟］You can tell a lot about people from the clothes they wear, but you can also tell a lot about people simply from the handbags they carry. It’s hard to believe, but you can fin d out a number of things about a woman’s personality just by looking at the type of handbag she sports. Below you will find a number of handbag styles and colors as well as what each specific type of handbagsays about the owner.Styles:Under-the Shoulder—Handbags which are smaller and fit tightly underneath the shoulder indicate class and sophistication. A woman working in an upscale office or someone of high stature would choose this form of handbag.Big and Bulky—Big, bulky and oversized bags are casual and are often associated with younger individuals. These are used for individuals who carry a number of things (binders, books etc) and require a lot of space. Down-to-earth, lower-maintenance women would carry this type of handbag.Designer—Designer handbags often cost an arm and a leg and therefore are usually associated with high-maintenance females. Females who are confident and require top of the line accessories will settle for nothing less than a name-brand designer purse. Guys—watch out for these girls, they tend to be a handful.Cigar Box Purses—A woman who carries a cigar box purse likes to be unique and stand out from the crowd. These women have minds of their own and cannot be told what to do. They are comfortable in their own skin and tend to be very independent.Leather with Buckles and Zippers—Women who choose leather purses with lots of buckles and zippers are leashing out their wild sides. These women tend to act before they think and are always ready for a good time. The extra buckl es and zippers tend to signify a “bad girl” image. Colors:Bright Colors—Bright colored handbags like pink, purple, brightblue and green indicate that the woman is fun, friendly andapproachable. Women who are out-going and sociable will tend tochoose these colors. This is the type of woman who will strike upa conversation with a complete stranger.Black and Brown—Women who choose black or brown handbags tend tobe more formal in manners and are often mistaken as being snobbyor restricted. These types of handbags are often associated withdown-to-earth women, who are shy at first, but open up after a while.They tend to exude a shy confidence, which is sometimes mistaken as someone who thinks she’s better than others.The style and color of your handbag says a lot about you. Choose your handbag very carefully and remember you can choose more than one style. You may feel like being reserved one day and the center of attention another. . . it’s natural to want different things in life.31.

The size of the lake found on Mars is ________ .A. 80 square milesB. 1, 500 square milesC. 3. 4 billion square milesD. 300 million square miles37. When the lake existed, the weather on Mars was ________ .A. hot and wetB. wet and warmC. cold and dryD. cold and wet38. Why do scientists think deltas near the lake may hold secrets about past life on Mars?A. Because similar places on Earth have become natural deposits of markers of life.B. Because someone has put secrets about past life on Mars there.C. Because past life has been found in other deltas on Mars.D. Because some people are said to have already seen life markers there.39. How many researchers does the passage mention?A. Two.B. Three.C. Four.D. Five.40. Which of the following statements is NOT true according to the passage?A. The Noachan epoch was a wet and warm era.B. The lake might have existed 3. 4 billion years.C. The discovery can’t fully prove that the Mars once hosted life.D. The lake traces prove that there exists life on Mars now.答案解析【文章大意】作者是一个志愿者，小的时候为母亲的朋友等人唱歌，后来在教堂为教众唱歌，而自己的一部分收入也捐了出去。

Why do they use pig and pork, cow and beef, and sheep and mutton? To find out, we have to go back to 1066. In that year, the Norman French invaded England and put a French king on the English throne. The French not only changed the government but they also changed the language. French became the language of the upper classes of society. And it remained that way for 300 years. Only these high society people could afford to eat meat. As a result, French words like porc (pork) and beouf (beef) came into the English language. However, poor English farmers raised the animals. So, he English language retained the words pig and cow from the native Anglo-Saxon.The Norman French added about 10, 000 French words to the English language. Seventy-five percent of them are still in use today.Language experts estimate that English speakers who have never studied French already know 15, 000 French words! Between one-third and two-thirds of all English words have French origins. Some words such as possible and avenue are the same in French and English; only the pronunciation changes. Other words such as ballet or la carte retain their French pronunciation in both languages.In French grammar, nouns have either a male or female gender, so adjectives（形容词） take different forms for each. English has only one adjective that does this, and it came from French. The word blond describes someone with light-colored hair. Blond is used for men, and blonde describes women. And they are also nouns.Some French words that entered the English language have taken on completely different meanings. The French phrase la mode means “in style. ” In English, the phrase means “with ice cream”. Someone must have decided something eaten with ice cream was in style!Now, as you learn English, you’re on your way to learning French! 21．French was once popular among the upper classes of the UK because______ .A．too many Frenchmen moved to BritainB．the French brought animals with themC．the king and his officials spoke FrenchD．the king allowed French to be spoken22．The underlined word “retained” in Paragraph 1 is closest in meaning to “ _______”.A．adopted B．keptC．introduced D．deserted23．Why does an English speaker find French easy to learn? A．Because English and French share similar pronunciation. B．Because English grammar and French grammar are similar. C．Because English has great influences on the French language. D．Because a large number of English words have French ori gins. 24．From the difference in grammar, we can infer that______.A．English nouns have different adjective formsB．English nouns have a male or female genderC．in French, the adjective must agree with the noun in gender D．the French word “fiancee” is used for men and “fiance” for women 25．What conclusion can we draw from the text?A．Language is closely related to history and culture.B．Language is controlled by the upper classes of society. C．French and English words don’t have much in common.D．English combines French and the Native Anglo-Saxon.(B)If cars had wings，they could fly and that just might happen, beginning in 2011. The company Terrafugia, based in Woburn, Massachusetts, says it plans to deliver its car-plane, the Transition, to customers by the end of 2011.“It’s the next ‘wow’vehicle，”said Terrafugia vicepresident Richard Gersh. “Anybody can buy a Ferrari, but as we say, Ferrarisdon’t fly. ”The car-plane has wings that unfold for flying—a process the company says takes one minute—and fold back up for driving. A runway is still required to take off and land.The Transition is being marketed more as a plane that drives than a car that flies, although it is both. The company has been working with FAA to meet aircraft regulations, and with the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration to meet vehicle safety regulations.The company is aiming to sell the Transition to private pilots as a more convenient and cheaper way to fly. They say it saves you the trouble from trying to find another mode of transportation to get to and from air ports: You drive the car to the airport and then you’re good to go. When you land, you fold up the wings and hit the road. There are no expensive parking fe es because you don’t have to store it at an airport—you park it in the garage at home.The car-plane is designed to fly primarily under 10, 000 feet. It has a maximum take-off weight of 1, 430 pounds, including fuel and passengers. Terrafugia says the Transition reduces the potential for an accident by allowing pilots to drive under bad weather instead of flying into marginal(边缘的)conditions.The Transition’s price tag: $194, 000. But there may be additional charges for options like a radio, transponder or GPS. Another option is a full-plane parachute.“If you get into a very awful situation, it is the necessary safety option, ”Gersh said.So far, the company has mo re than 70 orders with deposits. “We’reworking very closely with them, but there are still some remaining steps, ” Brown said.26. We can learn from the first paragraph that________.A. car-planes will be popular in 2011B. people might drive a car-plane in 2011C. both the Transition and Ferrari can take off and landD. Richard Gersh is the vice president of Massachusetts27. It takes the car-plane one minute to________.A. fold and unfold its wingsB. unfold wings for flyingC. land in the airportD. meet flying safety regulations28. According to the passage, which of the following is NOT true?A. The car-plane needs a runway to take off and land.B. To meet aircraft regulations, the company has been working with FAA.C. The car-plane may fly as high as normal planes.D. People can park the car-plane in the garage at home.29. The underlined word “it” in the last but one paragraph refers to________.A. the radioB. the transponderC. the GPSD. the full-plane parachute30. What’s the best title for the passage?A. Cars with Wings May Be Just around the CornerB. Which to Choose: a Ferrari or a Car-plane?C. A more Convenient and Cheaper Way to FlyD. Cars with Wings Can Fly as Fast as Planes答案解析Ⅰ. 1.【解析】选C。

2013版英语高考专题辅导与训练精练精析〔SDZY〕：专题强化测评〔十八〕完形填空、阅读理解〔四〕(限时50分钟)Ⅰ. 完形填空［2011·临沂模拟］One day a few years ago we had a guest of the uninvited variety.In fact, it was a bird, 1 , a sparrow.“What’s that? 〞 I asked when I first heard the gentlethumping〔重击声〕. “I t sounds like Joe is outside playingbasketball, 〞 my wife, Anita, said.

Anytime a doctor came with news of my progress, my wife would give me a big hug. The reports were seldom good during the early stages of my illness, and one day a doctor brought particularly frightening news. Staring at my reports, he said in a low voice, “It doesn’t look like y ou’re going to make it. 〞Before I could ask him a question, my wife stood up, handed me my clothes, adjusted the tubes fastened to my body and said, “Let’s get out of here. This man is a risk to your health. 〞As she helped me struggle to the door, the do ctor came near us. “Stay back, 〞 demanded my wife. “Stay away from us. 〞As we walked together down the hall, the doctor attempted to catch up with us “Keep going,〞said my wife, pushing the intravenous〔静脉注射的〕stand. “We’re going to talk to someone who really knows what is going on. 〞Then she held up her hand to the doctor. “Don’t come any closer to us. 〞The two of us moved as one. We escaped to the safety and hoped of a doctor who did not confuse diagnosis with conclusion. I could never have made that walk toward wellness alone.21.

The doctor was a dangerous man.C. The wife loved her husband very much.D. The husband was a man who believed everything would be OK.25. What would be the best title for the passage?A. A Happy Couple in CrisisB. Struggle with CancerC. In Crisis, Become As OneD. Don’t Believe the Doctor(B)As summer comes near, many children are really happy to forget aboutschool for a few months. However, studies have found that childrentypically forget be tween one and three months’ worth of school learningduring the summer months. Spelling and math abilities suffer the most,while reading is not really influenced by the time off. The most probablereason for this is that most children read at least occasionally outsideof the classroom, whether newspapers, magazines, books, or video game guides. However, their math and spelling skills only get exercised in the school setting.The original purpose of summer vacations was to let farm children have time off to help work in the fields in the high growing season, but this reason is no longer valid since fewer kids actually work on farms today. Some cities in the United States, such as Los Angeles, have moved to a year-round school calendar, which may help reduce the academic decline that occurs during the long summer vacations. Most cities still use the normal nine and a half-month calendars. To improve skills and to maintain a good level of preparation, experts recommend trips to museums, summer camps, and visits to libraries to keep kids mentally active and interested throughout the summer.There are other educational systems that provide vacations while still keeping students’ skills sharp(敏锐的). For example, in Japan, students attend class for seven weeks continuously, followed by two weeks of vacation. This continues throughout the year. In Italy, students attend class six days per week, but finish at 1: 30 PM each day, so that school does not dominate their life the way that it does in America.Educational specialists fear that the three-month summer vacation stops the continuity of learning. Just as students become accustomed to new concepts in reading, writing, or critical thinking skills, they “shut down〞 for an extended period. When they go back to school after the long summer vacation, they take up to two months to return to their previous level of understanding. And so the debate continues: whether to continue the present vacations or to seek changes.26. Spelling and math abilities suffer the most during the summer months because children ________ .A. take the summer vacation too seriouslyB. do little work of math or spellingC. don’t like spelling and mathD. have to help work in the fields27. What can be learned from the passage?A. Students read in summer vacations.B. Nowadays no children work on farms in summer vacations.C. The United States has cancelled summer vacations.D. The nine and a half-month calendars help improve skills.28. What is one of the advantages of Japan’s and Italy’s educational systems?A. They provide students with shorter vacations every year.B. The students have more free time of their own to play.C. They offer vacations without affecting students’ skills.D. The students attend class for longer time every week.29. What does the underlined phrase “shut down〞 in the last paragraph probably mean?A. Stop learning.B. Get sick.C. Go on vacation.D. Concentrate on their studies.30. What is the best title for the passage?A. How to Spend Summer Vacations？B. No More Summer Vacations.C. Summer Vacations: Change or NotD. New Educational Systems Needed(C)［2011·鹰潭模拟］You wake up in the morning，the day is beautiful and the plans for the day are what you have been looking forward to for a long time. Then the telephone rings，you say hello, and the drama starts. The person on the other end has a depressing tone in his voice as he starts to tell you how terrible his morning is and that there is nothing to look forward to. You are still in a wonderful mood? Impossible!Communicating with negative people can wash out your happiness. It may not change what you think，but communicating long enough with them will make you feel depressed for a moment or along time.Life brings ups and downs，but some people are stuck in the wrong idea that life has no happiness to offer. They only feel glad when they make others feel bad. No wonder they can hardly win others’ pity or respect.When you communicate with positive people，your spirit stays happy and therefore more positive things are attracted. When the dagger(匕首) of a negative person is put in you，you feel the heavy feeling that all in all，brings you down.Sometimes we have no choice but to communicate with negative people. This could be a co-worker，or a relative. In this case，say what needs to be said as little as possible. Sometimes it feels good to let out your anger back to the negative person，but all this does is to lower you to that same negative level and they won’t feel ashamed of themselves about that.Negativity often affects happiness without even being realized. The negative words of another at the start of the day can cling to(附着) you throughout the rest of your day，which makes you feel bad and steals your happiness. Life is too short to feel negative. Stay positive and avoid negativity as much as possible.31. The purpose of the first paragraph is to ________ .A. make a comparisonB. offer an evidenceC. introduce a topicD. describe a daily scene32. How can negative people have effect on us?A. By influencing our emotion.B. By telling us the nature of life.C. By changing our ways of thinking.D. By comparing their attitudes to life with ours.33. Some negative people base their happiness on ________ .A. other people’s pity for themB. making other people unhappyC. building up a positive attitudeD. other people’s respect for them34. According to the passage, to reduce negative people’s influence on us，we are advised to ________ .A. change negative people’s attitudes to lifeB. show our dissatisfaction to negative peopleC. make negative people feel ashamed of themselvesD. communicate with negative people as little as possible35. What is the author’s attitude towards negative people?A. Favorable.B. Critical.C. Indifferent.D. Supportive.(D)［2011·福州模拟］You may feel it is difficult to make a choice standing in front of the produce section of your local supermarket. In one hand, you’re holding a traditionally grown Granny Smith apple. In your other hand, you have one th at’s been organically grown. Both apples are firm, shiny and green. Both provide vitamins and fiber, and both are free of fat, sodium〔钠〕 and cholesterol 〔胆固醇〕.The traditionally grown apple costs less and is a proven family favorite. But the organic app le has a label that says “USDA (the U. S. Department of Agriculture) Organic〞. Does that mean it’s better? Safer? More nutritious? Several differences between organic and non-organic foods exist. Become a better informed consumer for your next trip to the supermarket.The word “organic〞 refers to the way farmers grow and process products, such as fruits, vegetables, grains, dairy products and meat. Organic farming practices are designed to encourage soil and water protection and reduce pollution. Farmers who grow organic produce and meat don’t use traditional methods to fertilize, control weeds or prevent livestock(牲口〕 disease. Here are other differences between traditional farming and organic farming.* Organic or not? Check the label.USDA has started an organic certification program that requires all organic foods to meet strict standards which regulate how such foods are grown, handled and processed. Any farmer or food manufacturer who labels and sells a product as organic must be USDA certified as meeting these standards. Only producers who sell less than $5, 000 a year in organic foods are exempt 〔免除〕 from this certification.If a food bears a USDA Organic label, it means it’s produced and processed according to the USDA standards. The seal is voluntary, but many organic producers use it.36. What does the first paragraph want to tell us?A. It is difficult to tell organic food from traditional food.B. The organic food and the traditional food are both delicious.C. The organic food is better than the traditional food.D. Both organic food and traditional food contain much nutrition.37. The main purpose of the passage is ________ .A. to promote the sales of organic food in supermarketB. to introduce two different ways of choosing food in supermarketC. to persuade people to think twice when purchasing traditional foodD. to provide information about organic and traditional food for consumers38. According to the passage, the traditionally grown apple ________ .A. costs less but tastes worse than an organic oneB. doesn’t look the same as an organic oneC. has proven itself acceptable by the familyD. contains more fat, sodium and cholesterol39. Which of the following methods belongs to organic farming?A. Using chemicals to kill insects and prevent disease.B. Using rotted plants as fertilizer to promote plant growth.C. Using growth hormones 〔激素〕to speed up animals’ growth.D. Using insect poisons to reduce pests and disease.40. From the passage we know the organic certification program ________ .A. is not meant for all producers of produceB. makes it a requirement to attach a USDA Organic labelC. sets limitations on the sales of organic produceD. requires all foods to satisfy the strict government standards答案解析【文章大意】本文是一篇夹叙夹议的记叙文。

【试卷总评】2013年山东省高考英语试题秉承了往年山东卷难度适中、不偏不怪这一优良传统，与往年保持相对稳定，难度适中，不偏不怪，内容丰富，试题考点都是中学常见常考的内容。

今年英语科目难度降低，属于“预料之中”，对于英语高手来说，这份试题很难体现出他们的真正实力，试卷整体区分度不大。

同时，试题在选材、设题等方面进行了优化和一定程度的创新。

各题型的具体特点如下：1.听力部分话题丰富，贴近考生明年山东高考不再有听力了，“最后一场听力”是否会成为“史上最难”？听力部分的考察并没有成为“拦路虎”。

今年英语题目难度降低。

除了中下游学生反映，英语听力的前五个句子信息量大，听起来有点吃力外，其他题目难度都适中。

试题秉承了往年一贯的风格：整体难度与往年保持基本一致，语音清晰，语速适当，内容生活化，题目设置合理。

话题都源自考生熟悉的日常生活场景，话题覆盖面广，对话内容逻辑清楚，语言流畅，难度适中。

2.单项填空考点微调，目标明确单项选择题目依然延续了以往的风格，考查点诸如定语从句、非谓语动词等常规类型，是学生平常练习较多的基础知识点，考查得比较全面；单项填空题避免了机械的语法知识考查，而是将语法知识融入到完整自然的语境中进行考查，考生在答题时不会有陌生感，容易理解。

今年该部分没有专门考查词汇知识的试题，主要考查了一些基础的语法知识如时态、状语从句、定语从句、名词性从句、非谓语动词、代词、冠词、介词等，同时该题突出了中学英语教学的几个重点和难点，其中第24、27题分别考查了一般过去时和现在完成时的用法，第31、35题考查了定语从句的相关知识，第25、29、33题考查了非谓语动词的用法，第26、28题考查了状语从句的相关知识。

3.完形填空注重选材，导向积极完形填空也不陌生，以第一人称开头，围绕“我”的变化展开叙述，学生容易理解，也比较综合地考查了学生英语水平。

选用了一篇记叙文。

文章讲述了一个凡事总以自我为中心的年轻人，在经历一番挫折和反思之后，终于明白了为人处世的道理，从而变得善良而又成熟的故事。

A white-collar job, for instance, is the kind of job manypeople look for, working with your brain and not your hands.White has a clean and pure image. That is why doctors, dentists,and nurses usually wear white uniforms. Babies are dressed in whiteat baptisms〔洗礼〕and brides wear white wedding gowns at weddings.White in these cases is the symbol of innocence or purity.Sometimes white is used in expressions that are not good.“Whitewash〞is one such expression. At first, “whitewash〞 meantto paint over something with white paint to make it look better. However, it means something different today: to hide or to cover up mistakes or failures.A “white elephant〞 is another example of white used in a negative way. In ancient Thailand, a white elephant was regarded as a sacred animal, but it was very expensive to keep. The kings of those days presented a white elephant to the people they wanted to ruin. Once they received this holy, royal animal as a gift, they were not allowed to sell or kill it. Today, a “white elephant〞 means something that is big, useless, and unwanted. In America, when people want to get rid of their furniture or clothes, they often have a “white elephant sale〞.21.

Institute officials say India has only about one ophthalmologist for every 120, 000 people. The institute, however, has ten such specially trained eye doctors. It has restored or improved the eyesight of thousands of patients. Many people are far from the city. Teams from it travel as far as 150 kilometers to see patients. People go to their nearest camp, for conditions including glaucoma〔青光眼〕, night blindness and other problems. Some people are found to have cataracts, abnormal growths on the eye that can lead to loss of eyesight. India has about 13 million people with the condition. Cataract patients get free operations to correct the problem.Rotary groups also operate eye banks. Doctors at these centers replace damaged eyes with the healthy eyes of donors who have just died. One such center is the Rotary Rajan Eye Bank. It operates in cooperation with the Rajan Eye Care Hospital in Chennai. The Eye Bank opened in 1996. Hundreds of patients have received new corneas from donors since then.

Today about 15 percent of adults, or 200 millionChinese, are reportedly overweight. Of these, 90 million—about7 percent—are obese〔极肥胖的〕.Experts say the obesity epidemic is spreading to children,though more slowly than in adults. The trend, they say, will have a huge impact on the health of China’s citizens and economy. “We’re seeing a very large proportion of children and adolescents who are quite heavy and aren’t moving much, 〞 said Barry Popkin, a nutrition professor. Popkin carries out an ongoing health-and-nutrition survey of 16, 000 households in China. He says more kids today are overeating and putting on weight “quite quickly〞. In just ten years, China’s childhood obesi ty rate has doubled, with the greatest gains coming in urban areas. “In big cities it’s a big problem. 〞Some experts blame the extra fat on a range of factors, many of them tied to China’s rapidly changing economy and culture. The diets of Chinese adults and children are far higher in calorie-laden meats, fish, eggs, dairy products, fats, and sugars than ever before. In addition, kids—especially city dwellers—are more sedentary today and spend more time indoors in frontof homework, television, computer games, and the Internet.Shuwen Ng, a health economist, says that kids in China now have pocket money, and they spend a portion of it on junk food. Ng adds that advertising and peer groups influence kids’ food choices. Certain foods, such as new candies or fast food, have attractive features.China’s childhood obesity rate still lags that of the United States, where some 15 percent of kids are said to be obese. But the long-term effects are equally serious.31.

Obesity Explosion In China And America(D)The year is 2094. It has been announced that a comet (彗星) is heading towards the Earth. Most of it will miss our plant, but two pieces will probably hit the southern half of the Earth.On 17 July, a piece four kilometers wide enters the Earth’s atmosphere with a massive explosion. About half of the piece is destroyed, but the remaining part hits the South Atlantic at 200 times the speed of sound. The sea boils and a huge hole is made in the sea bed. Huge waves are created and spread outwards from the hole. The wall of water, a kilometer high, rushes towards southern Africa at 800 kilometers an hour. Cities on the African coast are totally destroyed and millions of people are drowned.Before the waves reach South America, the second piece of the comet lands in Argentina. Earthquakes and volcanoes are set off in the Andes Mountains. The shock waves move north into California and all around the Pacific Ocean. The cities of Los Angeles, San Francisco and Tokyo are completely destroyed by earthquakes. Millions of people in the southern half of the earth are already dead, but the north won’t escape for long. Because of the explosions, the sun is hidden by clouds of dust, and temperatures around the world fall to almost zero. Crops are ruined. The sun won’t be seen again for many years. Wars break out as countries fight for food. A year later, no more than 10 million remain alive.Could it really happen? In fact, it has already happened more than once in the history of the Earth. The dinosaurs were on the Earth for over 160 million years. Then 65 million years ago they suddenly disappeared. Many scientists believe that the Earth was hit by a piece of object in space. The dinosaurs couldn’t live through the cold climate that followed and they died out. Will we meet the same end?36. What is mainly described in the passage?A. A historic discovery.B.
