2010年高考英语阅读理解新题型-简答题（2）燎原高中Section DDirections: Read the passage carefully. Then answer the questions or complete the statements in the fewest possible words.A punctual person is in the habit of doing a thing at the proper time and is never late in keeping an appointment.The unpunctual man, on one hand, never does what he has to do at the proper time. He is always in a hurry and in the end loses both time and his good name. A lost thing may be found again, but lost time can never be regained. Time is more valuable than material things. In fact, time is life itself. The unpunctual man is for ever wasting and mismanaging his most valuable asset (财产) as well as other’s. The unpunctual person is always complaining that he finds no time to answer letters, or return calls or keep appointments promptly. But the man who really has a great deal to do is very careful of his time and seldom complains of want of it. He knows that he can not get through his huge amount of work unless he faithfully keeps every piece of work when it has to be attended to.Failure to be punctual in keeping one’s appointments is the sign of disrespect towards others. If a person is invited to dinner and arrives later than the appointed time, he keeps all the other guests waiting for him. Usually this will be regarded as a great disrespect to the host and all other guests present.Unpunctuality, moreover, is very harmful when it comes to do one’s duty, whether public or private. Imagine how it would be if those who are put in charge of important tasks failed to be at their proper place at the appointed time. A man who is known to be habitually unpunctual is never trusted by his friends or fellow men.81. If one is not punctual, that signifies that he________________________________________.82. According to the passage, what is the main reason that a person is alwaysunpunctual ?83. When should you show up if invited to dinner?84. Based on the passage, when you have something urgent to do and need some help, you should turn to those who are _____________ .参考答案：81. shows no or little respect for other people.82. The main reason is that he always mismanages and wastes his time83. at the appointed time.84. punctual.（雷）Section DDirections: Read the passage carefully. Then answer the questions or complete the statements in the fewest possible words.Five years ago, David Smith wore an expensive suit to work every da y. “I was a clothes addict,” he jokes. “I used to carry a fresh suit to work with me so I could change if my clothes got wrinkled.” Today David wears casual clothes-khaki pants and sports shirt-to the office. He hardly ever wears a necktie. “I’m working ha rder than ever,” David says, “and I need to feel comfortable.”More and more companies are allowing their office workers to wear casual clothes to work in the United States. The change from formal to casual office wear has been gradual. In the early 1990s, many companies allowed their employees to wear casual clothes on Friday (but only on Friday). This became known as “dress-down Friday” of “casual Friday”. “What started out as an extra one-day-a-week benefit foremployees has really become an everyday thing. ” said business consultant Maisly Jones.Why have so many companies started allowing their employees to wear casual clothes? One reason is that it’s easier for a company to attract new employees if it has a casual dress code. “A lot of young people don’t want to dress up for work,” says the owner of a software company, “so it’s hard to hire people if you have a conservative dress code.” Another reason is that people seem happier and more productive when they are wearing comfortable clothes. In a study conducted by Levi Strauss and Company, 85 percent of employers said that they believe that casual dress improves employee morale. Only 4 percent of employers said that casual dress has a negative impact on productivity. Supporters of casual office wear also argue that a casual dress code helps them save money. “Suits are expensive, if you have to wear one every day,” one person said. “For the same amount of money, you can buy a lot more casual clothes.”81. Why did David Smith refer to himself as “a clothes addict,” ?82. David Smith wears casual clothes now, because _________________________________.83. The majority of the employees said casual dress__________________________________.84. According to this passage, what does it mean by a conservative dress code?参考答案：81. he wanted his clothes to look neat all the time82. they make him feel at ease when working83. improves their morale84. It means that everyone should dress up for work. （闵）。

Fill in each blank with the word or phrase that best fits the context.The first attempt of even the most talented artists, musicians, and writers is seldom a masterpiece, If you consider your drafts as dress rehearsals (彩排), or tryouts, revising will seem a natural part of the writing 50 .What is the purpose of the dress rehearsals and the out-of-town previews that many Broadway shows go through? The answer is adding, deleting, replacing, reordering, 51 revising. Andrew Lloyd Webber's musical Phantom of the Opera underwent such a process.When Lloyd Webber began writing in 1984, he had in mind a funny, exciting production. However, wh en Phantom opened in London in 1986, the audience saw a moving psychological love story set to music. The musical had. 52 several revisions due, in part, to problems with costuming and makeup (戏服和化妆). For instance, Lloyd Webber 53 some of the music because the Phantom's makeup prevented the actor from singing certain sounds.When you revise, you change aspects of your work in 54 to your evolving purpose, or to include 55 ideas or newly discovered information.Revision is not just an afterthought that gets only as much time as you have at the end of an assignment. 56 , it is a major stage of the writing proc ess, and writers revise every step of the way. Even your decision to 57 . topics while prewriting is a type of revising. However. don't make the mistake of skipping the revision stage that follows 58 . Always make time to become your own 59 and view your dress rehearsal, so to speak. Reviewing your work in this way can give you 60 new ideas.Revising involves 61 the effectiveness and appropriateness of all aspects of your writi ng, making your purpose more clearly, and refocusing or developing the facts and ideas you present. When you revise, ask yourself the following questions, keeping in mind the audience for whom you are writing: Is my main idea or purpose 62 throughout my draft? Do I ever lose sight of my purpose? Have I given my readers all of the 63 that is, facts, opinions,inferences -- that they need in order to understand my main idea? Finally, have I included too many 64 details that may confuse readers?A. techniqueB. styleC. processD. career(2)A. in particular B. as a result C. for example D. in other words(3)A. undergone B. skipped C. rejected D. replaced(4)A. rewrote B. released C. recorded D. reserved(5)A. addition B. response C. opposition D. contrast(6)A. fixed B. ambitious C. familiar D. fresh(7)A.

Each passage is followed by several questions or unfinished statements. For e ach of them there are four choices marked A, B, C and D. Choose the one that fits best according to the information given in the passage you have just read.(A)The elephant was lying heavily on its side, fast asleep. A few dogs started barking at it. The elephant woke up in a terrible anger: it chased the dogs into the village whe re they ran forsafety. That didn't stop the elephant. It destroyed a dozen houses and injured several people. The villagers were scared and angry. Then someone suggested calling Parbati, the elephant princess.Parbati Barua's father was a hunter of tigers and an elephant tamer. He taught Parbati to ride an elephant before she could even walk. He also taught her the dangerous art of the elephant round-up -- how to catch wild elephants.Parbati hasn't always lived in the jungle. After a happy childhood hunting with her father, she was sent to boarding school in the city. But Parbati never got used to being there and many years later she went back to her old fife. "Life in the city is too dull. Catching elephants is an adventure and the excitement lasts for days after the chase," she says.But Parbati doesn't catch elephants just for fun. "My work," she says, "is to rescue man from the elephants, and to keep the elephants safe from man." And this is exactly what Parbati has been doing for many years. Increasingly, the Indian elephant is angry: for many years, illegal hunters have attacked it and its home in the jungle has been reduced to small pieces of land. It is now fighting back. Whenever wild elephants enter a tea garden or a village, Parbati is called toguide the animals back to the jungle before they can kill.The work of an elephant tamer also involves love and devotion. A good elephant tamer will spend hours a day singing love songs to a newly captured elephant. "Eventually they grow to love their tamers and never forget them. They are also more loyal than humans," she said, as she climbed up one of her elephants and sat on the giant, happy animal. An elephant princess indeed! For Parbati, catching elephants is mainly to_________ .A. get long lasting excitementB. keep both man and elephants safeC. send them back to the jungleD. make the angry elephants tame(17)Before Parbati studied in a boarding school,_________ .A. she spent her time hunting with her fatherB. she learned how to sing love songsC. she had already been called an elephant princessD. she was taught how to hunt tigers(18)Indian elephants are getting increasingly angry and they revenge because __________.A. they are caught and sent for heavy workB. illegal hunters capture them and kill themC. they are attacked and their land gets limitedD. dogs often bark at them and chase them(19)The passage starts with an elephant story in order to explain that in India _________.A. people easily fall victim to elephants' attacksB. the man-elephant relationship is getting worseC. elephant tamers are in short supplyD. dogs are as powerful as elephants(20)Trevor, C. O., Lansford, B. and Black, J. W., 2004, "Employee turnover (人事变更) and job performance: monitoring the influences of salary growth and promotion", Journal of Armchair Psychology, vol. 113, no.1, pp. 56-64.In this article Trevor et al. review the influences of pay and job opportunities in respect of job performance, turnover rates and employees' job attitude. The authors use data gained through organizational surveys of blue-chip companies in Vancouver, Canada to try to identify the main cause of employee turnover and whether it is linked to salary growth. Their research focuses on assessing a range of pay structures such as pay for performance and organizational reward plans. The article is useful as Trevor et al. suggest that there are numerous reasons for employee turnover and a variety of differences in employees' job attitude and performance. The main limitation of the article is that the survey sample was restricted to mid-level management, thus the authors indicate that further, more extensive research needs to be undertaken to develop a more in-depth understanding of employee turnover and job performance. As this article was published in a professional journal, the findings can be considered reliable. It will be useful additional information for the research on pay structures.The following card includes a brief summary and a short assessment of a research paper. It can provide a guide for further reading on the topic. The research paper published is primarily concerned withA. the way of preventing employee turnoverB. methods of improving employee performanceC. factors affecting employee turnover and performanceD. pay structures based on employee performance(21)As is mentioned in the card, the limitation of the research paper mainly lies in that .A. the data analysis is hardly reliableB. the research sample is not wide enoughC. the findings are of no practical valueD. the research method is out-of-date(22)Who might be most interested in this piece of information?A. Job hunterB. Employees in blue-chip companieC. Mid-level managerD. Researchers on employee turnove(23)(C)The 2012 London Olympics had enough problems to worry about. But one more has just been added - a communications blackout caused by solar storms.After a period of calm within the Sun, scientists have detected the signs of a flesh cycle of sunspots that could peak in 2012, just in time for the arrival of the Olympic torch in London.Now scientists believe that this peak could result in vast solar explosions that could throw billions of tons of charged matter towards the Earth, causing strong solar storms that could jam the telecommunications satellites and interact linkssending five Olympic broadcast from London."The Sun's activity has a strong influence on the Earth. The Olympics could be in the middle of the next solar maximum which could affect the functions of communications satellites," said Professor Richard Harrison, head of space physics at the Rutherford Appleton Laboratory in Oxfordshire. At the peak of the cycle, violent outbursts called coronal mass ejections (日冕物质抛射) occur in the Sun's atmosphere, throwing out great quantities of electrically-charged matter. " A coronal mass ejection can carry a billion tons of solar material into space at over a million kilometres per hour. Such events can expose astronauts to a deadly amount, can disable satellites, cause power failures on Earth and disturb communications," Professor Harrison added. The risk is greatest during a solar maximum when there is the greatest number of sunspots.Next week in America, NASA is scheduled to launch a satellite for monitoring solar activity called the Solar Dynamics Observatory (SDO), which will take images of the Sun that are 10 times clearer than the most advanced televisions available.The Rutherford Appleton Laboratory helped to make the high-tech cameras that will capture images of the solar flares (太阳耀斑) and explosions as they occur.Professor Richard Hold away, the lab's director, said that the SDO should be able to provide early warning of a so lar flare or explosion big enough to affect satellite communications on Earth "If we have advance warning, we'll be able to reduce the damage. What you don't want is things switching off for a week with no idea of what's caused the problem," he said. The phrase "communications blackout" in paragraph 1 most probably refers to during the 2012 Olympics.A. the extinguishing of the Olympic torchB. the collapse of broadcasting systemsC. the transportation breakdown in LondonD. the destruction of weather satellites(24)What can be inferred about the solar activity described in the passage?A. The most fatal matter from the corona falls onto Earth.B. The solar storm peak occurs in the middle of each cycle.C. It takes several seconds for the charged matter to reach Earth.D. The number of sunspots declines after coronal mass ejections.(25)According to the passage, NASA will launch a satellite to_________A. take images of the solar systemB. provide early warning of thunderstormsC. keep track of solar activitiesD. improve the communications on Earth(26)Which of the following might be the best title of the passage?A. Solar Storms: An Invisible KillerB. Solar Storms: Earth Environment in DangerC. Solar Storms: Threatening the Human RaceD. Solar Storms: Human Activities to Be Troubled选句(1)(2)(3)(4)(5)问答(1)Directions: Read the passage carefully. Then answer the questions or complete the statements in the fewest possible words.Phys ed (physical education) is making a comeback as a part of the school core curriculum(核心课程)，but with a difference. While group sports are still part of the c urriculum, the new way is to teach skills that are useful beyond gym class. Instead of learning how to climb a rope, children are taught to lift weights, balance their diets and build physical endurance. In this way，kids are given the tools and skills and experiences so they can lead a physically active life the rest of their life.Considering that 15 percent of American children 6 to 18 are overweight, supporters say more money and thought must be put into phys ed curriculum. In many cases, that may mean not just replacing the old gym-class model with fitness programs but also starting up phys ed programs because school boards often "put P.E. on the chopping block, cutting it entirely or decreasing its teachers or the days it is offered," says Alicia Moag-Stahlberg, the executive director of Action for Health Kids. The difference in phys ed programs is partly due to the lack of a national standard. "Physical education needs to be part of the core curriculum," she added.The wisdom of the new approach has some scientific support. Researchers at the University of Wisconsin have demonstrated how effective the fit-for-life model of gym class can be. They observed how 50 overweight children lost more weight when they cycled and skied cross-country than when they played sports. The researchers also found that teaching sports like football resulted in less overall movement, partly because reluctant students were able to sit on the bench.Another problem with simply teaching group sports in gym class is that only a tiny percentage of students continue playing them after graduating from high school. The new method teaches sells that translate to adulthood.(Note: Answer the questions or complete the statements in NO MORE THAN TEN WORDS.)

Not everyone is born with beautiful hair, but by learning a few about hair care , you can make your hair look its best. Healthy, attractive hair should look smooth, silky and shiny. Hair that is dull, dry, brittle or frizzy is unhealthy and unattractive. Everyday events such as shampooing, brushing and blow drying can do great damage to your hair, causing the dry, brittle, frizzy appearance.When you shampoo your hair, you should use a shampoo for your specific type of hair. If you have color treated hair, you should use a shampoo for chemically treated hair. If you are not sure what your hair type is or what type of shampoo to use, ask your hairdresser. Your hairdresser can recommend a specific shampoo and conditioner to keep your hair healthy and shiny.Brushing your hair can actually help improve the shine. If you have long hair that tends to tangle on the ends, you should start brushing on the ends to remove any tangles, and work your way up to the scalp. You should never brush wet hair. When hair is wet，it is much weaker than when it is dry. Wet hair will break very easily if it is not combed very gently. If you have long hair, you should squeeze the extra water from your hair with a towel. Never rub your hair between the towel to dry it, this can cause severe breakage. Before combing, a leave-in conditioner should be sprayed on the hair to help restore shine and help remove tangles. Using a wide tooth comb, comb hair from the ends and work your way up.Blow dryers are very convenient and many of us use them daily. If they are used incorrectly, they can cause severe heat damage to your hair. Blow drying can cause your ends to be dry, brittle and frizzy. You should allow your hair to air dry until it is about half way dry. Set your blow dryer on low or medium heat, and keep the blow dryer about six to eight inches away from your hair.If you follow these healthy hair practices, you should notice an improvement in the condition of your hair within two to four weeks, depending on how damaged your hair is. While you are working to improve the condition of your hair, see your hairdresser or visit your local beauty supply store for more information on available products.1. 1.A healthy hair looks like________, ________ and _________.2. Why should we never brush wet hair?3. You turn to ______________ or________________________________ for help if you aren’t sure which kind of shampoo is suitable for your hair.4.

Section DDirections: Read the passage carefully. Then answer the questions or complete the statements in the fewest possible words.A 69-year-old grandmother with no teeth of her own has eventually won a long legal battle to stop a Scottish regional council（政务委员会）adding fluoride（氟化物）chemical to the public water supply.In a case which has already cost the taxpayer ￡1,000,000, the judge ruled that it was beyond the powers of the local authority to add the chemical to the water in order to reduce tooth decay.At her home last night Mrs Catherine said fluoride to public drinking water made it into some kind of dirty soup. “Where would it stop?” she asked. “They mi ght come up with the idea of putting drugs into the water to keep the unemployed quiet.” It was a horrible poison, she said, that could have caused al kinds of diseases, including cancer.The judge, however, concluded that there was no evidence to suggest that the inclusion of fluoride in the water supply would have had a negative effect on pulpier health. Although the chemical might serve as an efficient and convenient means of achieving a beneficial effect on the dental health of consumers generally, he said, and its use was greatly favored by the dental profession, he could also understand why some members of the public, Mrs Catherin ,in particular, might be passionately opposed to the action of the Water Authority in assuming the right to improve public well-being without consulting the public in the first case. The Authority’s legal duty to provide “wholesome” water for public consumption which was both safe and pleasant to drink ,did not, he said, extend to their right to safeguard public health by chemical means.1.The local authority add the chemical to the water for the purpose of ________________.2.By saying “They might come up with the idea of putting drugs into the water to keep theunemployed quiet”, Mrs Catherine showed her ____________ towards the local authority.3.

A few dogs started barking a t it. The elephant woke up in a terrible ang er: it chased the dogs into the village where they ran for safety.That didn’t stop the elephant. It destroy ed a dozen houses and injured several peopl e. The villagers were scared and angry. The n someone suggested calling Parbati, the elep hant princess.Parbati Barua’s father was a hunter of tigers and an elephant tamer. He taught Par bati to ride an elephant before she could ev en walk. He also taught her the dangerous a rt of the elephant round-up—how to catch wild elephants.Parbati hasn’t always lived in the jungle. After a happy childhood hunting with her f ather, she was sent to boarding school in the city. But Parbati never got used to being t here and many years later she went back to her old fife. "Life in the city is too dull. C atching elephants is an adventure and the ex citement lasts for days after the chase, " she says.But Parbati doesn’t catch elephants just for fun. “My work, ” she says, “is to rescu e man from the elephants, and to keep the elephants safe from man. ” And this is exac tly what Parbati has been doing for many y ears. Increasingly, the Indian elephant is ang ry: for many years, illegal hunters have atta cked it and its home in the jungle has been reduced to small pieces of land. It is now f ighting back. Whenever wild elephants enter a tea garden or a village, Parbati is called to guide the animals back to the jungle befo re they can kill.The work of an elephant tamer also inv olves love and devotion. A good elephant ta mer will spend hours a day singing love son gs to a newly captured elephant. “Eventually they grow to love their tamers and never f orget them. They are also more loyal than h umans, ” she said, as she climbed up one of her elephants and sat on the giant, happy animal. An elephant princess indeed!65. For Parbati, catching elephants is m ainly to ________.A. get long lasting excitementB. keep bo th man and elephants safeC. send them back to the jungleD. ma ke the angry elephants tame66. Before Parbati studied in a boarding school, ________.A. she spent her time hunting with her fatherB. she learned how to sing love songsC. she had already been called an eleph ant princessD. she was taught how to hunt tigers67. Indian elephants are getting increasi ngly angry and they revenge because ______ _ A. they are caught and sent for heavy workB. illegal hunters capture them and kill themC. they are attacked and their land gets limitedD. dogs often bark at them and chase t hem68. The passage starts with an elephant story in order to explain that in India _____A. people easily fall victim to elephants’attacksB. the man-elephant relationship is getti ng worseC. elephant tamers are in short supplyD. dogs are as powerful as elephants(B)Trevor,C.O., Lansford, B. and Black, J. W., 2004, “Employee turnover (人事变更) an d job performance: monitoring the influences of salary growth and promotion”, Journal o f Armchair Psychology, vol. 113, no. 1, pp. 56-64.In this article Trevor et al. review the i nfluences of pay and job opportunities in res pect of job performance, turnover rates and employees' job attitude. The authors use dat a gained through organizational surveys of b lue-chip companies in Vancouver, Canada to try to identify the main cause of employee turnover and whether it is linked to salary growth. Their research focuses on assessing a range of pay structures such as pay for p erformance and organizational reward plans. The article is useful as Trevor et al. sugges t that there are numerous reasons for emplo yee turnover and a variety of differences in employees' job attitude and performance. Th e main limitation of the article is that the s urvey sample was restricted to mid-level ma nagement, thus the authors indicate that furt her, more extensive research needs to be un dertaken to develop a more in-depth underst anding of employee turnover and job perfor mance. As this article was published in a pr ofessional journal, the findings can be consid ered reliable. It will be useful additional info rmation for the research on pay structures.The following card includes a brief sum mary and a short assessment of a research paper. It can provide a guide for further re ading on the topic.69. The research paper published is pri marily concerned withA. the way of preventing employee turn overB. methods of improving employee perfo rmanceC. factors affecting employee turnover a nd performanceD. pay structures based on employee pe rformance70. As is mentioned in the card, the lim itation of the research paper mainly lies in t hat.A. the data analysis is hardly reliableB. the research sample is not wide enou ghC. the findings are of no practical valueD. the research method is out-of-date71. Who might be most interested in thi s piece of information?A. Job hunters.B. Employees in blue-chip companies.C. Mid-level managers.D. Researchers on employee turnover.(C)The 2012 London Olympics had enough problems to worry about. But one more has just been added—a communications blacko ut caused by solar storms.After a period of calm within the Sun, scientists have detected the signs of a flesh c ycle of sunspots that could peak in 2012, jus t in time for the arrival of the Olympic torc h in London.Now scientists believe that this peak cou ld result in vast solar explosions that could t hrow billions of tons of charged matter towa rds the Earth, causing strong solar storms t hat could jam the telecommunications satellit es and interact links sending five Olympic b roadcast from London.“The Sun’s ac tivity has a strong influen ce on the Earth. The Olympics could be in the middle of the next solar maximum whic h could affect the functions of communicatio ns satellites, ” said Professor Richard Harris on, head of space physics at the Rutherford Appleton Laboratory in Oxfordshire.At the peak of the cycle, violent outburs ts called coronal mass ejections (日冕物质抛射) occur in the Sun’s atmosphere, throwing out great quantities of electrically-charged matter. “A coronal mass ejection can carry a billion tons of solar material into space at over a million kilometres per hour. Suc h events can expose astronauts to a deadly a mount, can disable satellites, cause power fai lures on Earth and disturb communications,” Professor Harrison added. The risk is gre atest during a solar maximum when there is the greatest number of sunspots.Next week in America, NASA is schedul ed to launch a satellite for monitoring solar activity called the Solar Dynamics Observato ry (SDO), which will take images of the Sun that are 10 times clearer than the most ad vanced televisions available.The Rutherford Appleton Laboratory hel ped to make the high-tech cameras that will capture images of the solar flares (太阳耀斑) and explosions as they occur.Professor Richard Hold away, the lab’s director, said that the SDO should be able t o provide early warning of a solar flare or explosion big enough to affect satellite comm unications on Earth “If we have advance wa rning, we’ll be able to reduce the damage. What you don’t want is things switching off fo r a week with no idea of what’s caused t he problem,” he said.()72. The phrase “communications blackou t” in paragraph 1 most probably refers to _ _______ during the 2012 Olympics.A. the extinguishing of the Olympic torc hB. the collapse of broadcasting systemsC. the transportation breakdown in Lon donD. the destruction of weather satellites73. What can be inferred about the sola r activity described in the passage?A. The most fatal matter from the coro na falls onto Earth.B. The solar storm peak occurs in the middle of each cycle.C. It takes several seconds for the char ged matter to reach Earth.D. The number of sunspots declines afte r coronal mass ejections.74. according to the passage, NASA will launch a satellite to ________.A. take images of the solar systemB. provide early warning of thunderstormsC. keep track of solar activitiesD. impr ove the communications on Earth75. Which of the following might be the best title of the passage?A. Solar Storms: An Invisible KillerB. Solar Storms: Earth Environment in DangerC. Solar Storms: Threatening the Huma n RaceD. Solar Storms: Human Activities to B e TroubledSection CA. Drug overuse and its consequenceB. The problem of drug overuse in Ame ricaC. Benefits of medicine and its wise useD. Female drug overuse with reference t o that of malesE. Misuse of medicine among the young generationF. Improper use of medicine among seni or citizens76. ________Nowadays, millions of people misuse and even overuse pain medications and other dr ugs. Research by the American National Inst itute on Drug Abuse (NIDA, 1999) shows th at around 2% of the population over age 12 were using drugs non-medically.77. ________NIDA views medications as a powerful f orce for good in the contemporary world. T hey reduce and remove pain for millions of people suffering from illness and disease. Th ey make it possible for doctors to perform c omplicated surgery to save lives. Many peopl e afflicted by serious medical conditions are able to control their symptoms and become active, contributing citizens. NIDA points out that most individuals who take these drags use them in a responsible.78. ________Nevertheless, overuse of drugs such as o pium, central nervous system (CNS) depressa nts and stimulants does lead to harmful reli ance in some people and is therefore becomi ng a serious public health concern. Althoughthis abuse affects many people worldwide, p articular trends of concern to the medical pr ofession in the US appear among older adult s, teenagers arid women.79. ________Though it may be a surprise to many, t he misuse of medications may be the most c ommon form of drug abuse among the elder ly. Dr Kenneth Schrader of Duke University, North Carolina states that although the eld erly represent about 13% of the US populati on, those aged 65 and over account for the consumption of one third of all drugs. Peopl e in this age group use medications roughly three times more than the general populatio n and have poorer compliance with instructi on for use. In another study of elderly patie nts admitted to treatment programs, 70% we re women who had overused medicines.80. ________Unfortunately, this trend among women does not only affect those aged over 60. In general, among women and men who are usi ng either an anti-anxiety drug or a sedative, women are twice as likely to become addict ed. In addition, statistics compiled for 12-17 year olds show that teenage girls are more l ikely than teenage boys to begin overusing p sychotherapeutic medication such as painkille rs, tranquillizers, stimulants and sedatives.Section DPhys ed (physical education) is making a comeback as a part of the school core cur riculum(核心课程), but with a difference. Wh ile group sports are still part of the curricul um, the new way is to teach skills that are useful beyond gym class. Instead of learning how to climb a rope, children are taught t o lift weights, balance their diets and build physical endurance. In this way, kids are giv en the tools and skills and experiences so th ey can lead a physically active life the rest of their life.Considering that 15 percent of American children 6 to 18 are overweight, supporters say more money and thought must be put i nto phys ed curriculum. In many cases, that may mean not just replacing the old gym-cl ass model with fitness programs but also sta rting up phys ed programs because school b oards often “put P. E. on the chopping bloc k, cutting it entirely or decreasing its teachers or the days it is offered, ” says Alicia M oag-Stahlberg, the executive director of Actio n for Health Kids. The difference in phys e d programs is partly due to the lack of a n ational standard. “Physical education needs t o be part of the core curriculum, ” she add ed.The wisdom of the new approach has so me scientific support. Researchers at the Uni versity of Wisconsin have demonstrated howeffective the fit-for-life model of gym class can be. They observed how 50 overweight ch ildren lost more weight when they cycled an d skied cross-country than when they played sports. The researchers also found that teac hing sports like football resulted in less over all movement, partly because reluctant stude nts were able to sit on the bench.Another problem with simply teaching g roup sports in gym class is that only a tiny percentage of students continue playing them after graduating from high school. The new method teaches sells that translate to adulth ood.()(Note: Answer the questions or complete the statements in NO MORE THAN TEN WORDS. )81. In the new P.

2010年某某高考英语阅读理解新题型7Let us suppose it is now about A.D.2060.Let’s make believe it is about sixty years from now. Of course, things have ch0?anged and life is very different.V oyages to the moon are being made every day. It is as easy to take a holiday on the moon today as it was for the people in 1960 to take a holiday in Europe. At a number of scenic spots on the moon, many hotels have been built. The hotels are air conditioned, naturally. In order that every one can enjoy the beautiful scenery on the moon, every room has at least one picture window. Everything imaginable is provided for entertainment of young and old.What are people eating now? People are still eating food. They haven’t yet started to use supply of energy directly as electrical current or nuclear power. They may some day. But many foods now come in pill form, and the food that goes into the pill continues to come mainly from green plants. Since there are several times as many people in the world today as there were a hundred years ago, most of our planet’s surface has to be filled. The deserts are irrigated(灌溉)with water and crops are no longer destroyed by pests. The harvest is always good. Farming, of course, is very highly developed. Very few people have to work on the farm. It is possible to run the farm by just pushing a few buttons now and then.People are now largely vegetarians(素食者).You see, as the number of people increases, the number of animals decreases. Therefore, the people have to be vegetarians and we are healthier both in our bodies and in our minds, and we know the causes and cure of disease and pain, and it is possible to get rid of diseases. No one has to be ill any more.Such would be our life in 2060.1.The article was written in_______________________.2.Why should hotels be built on the moon?3. In 2060, people may eat food in the form of , and the food they eat comes from .4. Why are people largely vegetarians in 2060?.Keys1. 20002.Because there are many scenic spots on the moon and travelers will take a holiday on the moon.3. pill, green plants4. Because the number of animals decreases.Top students feel the pressureACROSS China, students are sweating as they prepare for the tough January final exams. Many teenagers write to 21st Century Teens to complain that while they do well in their homework, they cannot get high marks in their exams. They are wondering why.In a new study this month, US psychologists (心理学家) think they have found the answer. Their experiment will be published in the February issue of the magazine Psychological Science. It helps people understand what restricts (限制) intellectual performance.Researchers report that heavy exam pressure is actually more likely to affect the performance of very good students than average ones. Worried about pleasing others, these students can lose their most valuable intellectual weapon: short-term or working memory. This is their ability to recall numbers and thoughts, while focusing on the problem at hand. According to the study, when extra pressure is put on people with good skills, their performance drops off.In recent years, psychologists have learnt more about short-term memory. It was once thought of as astore that could hold one, several or many numbers and words depending on its size. It is now described as more like a mental food processor (食品加工机) that helps shape ingredients (配料) while keeping the mind focused on the task at hand.People with strong working memory skills tend to do well in intellectual ability tests. Their analytical (分析的) skills and creative thinking depend on this short-term-focused processor.In the study, researchers tested the working memory of 93 students. They were divided into two groups, with a high and a low working memory. The students then took two maths tests, under different conditions. One was called a practice test. In the other, the students were told they were part of a team that was depending on them to improve their score in order to win a reward.The results were striking: the group with high working memory scored about 10 per cent higher than the others on the low-pressure practice test. But the two groups scores were about equal when the heat was on to perform.The study shows how memory performance is affected by fear of failure and the ticking (滴答做响的) clock, according to the scientists.1. Why can’t many gifted students get high marks in the exam?2. The function of short-term memory mentioned in the passage enables people to__________.3. What did Psychologists use to believe short-term memory ?4. What do we know about the students who took part in tests?Keys:1. Because they feel great anxiety that they may fail2. analyse and think creatively.3. Psychologists used to believe short-term memory let people remember things just as they are.4. Fear of failure had a greater effect on some students.In so many ways, cyberspace mirrors the real world. People ask for information, play games, and share hobby tips. Others buy and sell products. Still others look for friendship, or even love.Unlike the real world, however, your knowledge about a person is limited to words on a computer screen. Identity and appearance mean very little in cyberspace. Rather, a person’s thoughts----or at least the thoughts they type-----are what really count. So even the shyest person can become a chat-room star.Usually, this 〞faceless〞communication doesn’t create problems. Identity doesn’t rea lly matter when you’re in a chat room discussing politics or hobbies. In fact, this emphasis on the ideas themselves makes the Internet a great place for exciting conversation. Where else can so many people come together to chat about their interests?But some Internet users want more than just someone to chat with. They’re looking for serious love relationships. Is cyberspace a good place to find love? That answer depends on whom you ask. Some of these relationships actually succeed. Others fail miserably.Online Love Supporters of online relationships claim that the Internet allows couples to get to know each other intellectually first. Personal appearance doesn’t get in the way.But critics of online relationships argue that no one can truly know another person in cyberspace. Why? Because the Internet gives users a lot of control over how others view them. Internet users can carefully craft their words to fit whatever image they want to give. And they don’t have to worryabout what their “nonverbal〞com munication is doing for their image. In a sense, they’re not really themselves.All of this may be fine if the relationship stays in cyberspace. But not knowing a person is a big problem in a love relationship. With so many unknowns, it’s easy to let one’s imagination “fill in the blanks.〞This inevitably leads to disappointment when couples meet in person. How someone imagines an online friend is often quite different than the real person.So, before looking for love in cyberspace, remember the advice of Internet pioneer Clifford Stoll: “Life in the real world is far richer than anything you’ll find on a computer screen.〞1.What is the most important in cyberspace when compared with the real world?Or: why is internet an exciting place for conversation?2. Some people are in favor of online relationships because they think_______________.3. Why does the online love relationship often fail?4.The word “ blanks〞in paragraph 7 refers to__________________.Keys:1. A person’s thoughts is the most import ant.Because people will focus on the ideas while talking.2. Personal appearance doesn’t get in the way.3. Because people are actually communicating with an imaginary person.4. All the unknowns lying between the couples.。
