Whenever we turn on the TV or radio, read the newspapers, surf the Internet, we'll be surrounded by the word "diet" everywhere. We have so easily been attracted by the promise of diet products that we have stopped thinking about what diet products are doing to us. We are paying for products that harm us psychologically(心理上地)and physically.It's obvious that diet products weaken us psychologically. They allow us to jump over the thinking stage that our weight problems lie not in actually losing the weight, but in controlling the consumption of fat. All we have to do is to swallow or recognize the word "diet" in food labels.What's more, diet products have greater psychological effects. Every time we have a zero-calorie drink, we are telling ourselves that we don't have to work to get results.Diet products make people believe that gain comes without pain, and that life can be without resistance and struggle.As a matter of fact, the danger that diet products bring not only lies in the psychological effects they have on us, but also in the physical harm they cause. Diet foods and diet pills contain zero calorie. oaly because the diet industry has created chemicals to produce these wonder products, And they can indirectly harm our bodies because consuming them instead of healthy foods means we are stopping our bodies having basic nutrients. Diet products may not be nutritional, and the chemicalsthat go into diet products are potentially dangerous.Losing weight lies in the power of minds, not in the power of chemicals. Think twice before buying diet products. Once we realize this, we will be much better able to resist diet products, 3rd therefore, prevent the psychological and physical harm that comes from using them.1. From Paragraph 1,we learn thatA. diet products are in our daily lifeB. people have trouble choosfng diet productsC. people should put up with diet productsD. diet products are misleading people2. The psychological effect of diet products is that people tend toA. hesitate before they enjoy diet foods B, pay attention to their daily dietC. watch their weight rather than their dietD. try out varieties of diet foods3. The underlined part in Paragraph 3 probably meansA. diet products cause no pain B, it costs a lot to.lose weightC. losing weight is effortlessD. diet products are free of fat and calories4.Diet products indirectly harm people physically because such productsA. are over-consumedB. are short of basic nutrientsC. lack chemicalsD. provide too much energy参考答案1—4、DCCB2016高考训练题。

2016高考英语二轮:(寒假)阅读理解训练(14)及答案阅读下列短文,从每题所给的四个选项(A、B、C、D)中,选出最佳选项并在答题卡上将该项涂黑。
AThe following story took place long ago in Israel. One day when government officials were rebuilding an office, they found a mouse hole in a corner and used smoke to force the mice inside the hole to come out. A while later they indeed saw mice running out, one after another.Then, everyone thought that all the mice had escaped. But just as they were just about to start to clean up, they saw two mice squeezing out at the exit of the hole. After some endeavor, the mice finally got out. The strange thing was that after they came out of the hole, they did not run away immediately. Instead, one chased after the other near the exit of the hole. It seemed that one was trying to bite the tail of the other.Everyone was puzzled, so they stepped closer to take a look. They realized that one of the mice was blind and could not see anything, and the other one was trying to allow the blind mouse to bite on his tail so he could pull the blind one with him to escape.After witnessing what happened, everyone was speechless and lost in thought. During meal time, the group of people sat down in a circle and started to chat about what happened to the two mice.One serious Rome official said: “I think the relationship between those two mice was that of emperor and minister.” The others thought for a while and said: “That was why!” Thus the Rome official showed his arrogance .A smart Israeli said: “I think the relationship between those two mice was husband and wife.”Again the others thought for a while, and all felt it made sense; so they expressed agreement. Therefore, the Israeli’s countenance (脸色,面色)showed self-satisfaction.A Chinese, who was accustomed to the firm tradition of loyalty to parents, said: “I think the relationship between those two mice was that of mother and son.” Once again the others thought for a while, and felt this was more reasonable. So they expressed agreement yet another time. Therefore, the face of the Chinese showed professional modesty.At that moment, one pure-minded Samaritan(撒玛利亚人) who was squatted (蹲)on the ground resting his chin in his hands, bewilderedly (为难地)looked at other people, and asked: “Why did those two mice have to have a certain relationship?”Suddenly, the atmosphere froze. Then the group looked back at the Samaritan and remained speechless. The Rome official, the Israeli and the Chinese who had spoken earlier all lowered their heads in shame, and did not dare to respond.In fact, the true love is not established on benefit, friendship and loyalty or blood relationship. Instead, it is based on no relationship.1. Which of the following is the correct order to describe the story according to the passage?a. Mice came out one after another forced by smoke.b. Government officials found a mouse hole in an office.c. Two more mice came out of the hole.d. One mouse tried to bite the tail of the other one near the exit of the hole.e. Government officials were about to clean up.A.b-a-e-c-dB.b-a-c-d-eC.c-b-a-e-dD.c-a-d-b-e2. Why didn’t the two mice escape immediately?A. They didn’t know about the danger.B. One was trying to bite the tail of the other.C. They couldn’t find the right direction to run away.D. One was trying to help the other to escape together.3. What does the sentence “That was why!” mean in Para.5?A. “That was just the reason why you think the two mice were emperor and minister?”B. “That was just the reason why the two mice ran after each other?”C. “That was just the reason why one mouse helped the other to escape from the hole!”D. “That was just the reason why we should believe your words?”4. Why did they lower their heads in shame according to the passage?A. They did not dare to answer.B. They failed to analyze the relationship between the mice.C. They regretted driving a poor blind mouse away.D. They did not express themselves much better.参考答案1—4 ADCDBYou may not pay much attention to your daily elevator ride. Many of us use a lift several times during the day without really thinking about it. But Lee Gray, PhD, of the University of North Carolina, US, has made it his business to examine this overlooked form of public transport. He is known as the “Elevator Guy”.“The lift becomes this interesting social space where etiquette (礼仪) is sort of odd (奇怪的),”Gray told the BBC. “They (elevators) are socially very interesting but often very awkward places.”We walk in and usually turn around to face the door. If someone else comes in, we may have to move. And here, according to Gray, lift users unthinkingly go through a set pattern of movements. He told the BBC what he had observed.He explained that when you are the only one inside a lift, you can do whatever you want –it’s your own little box.If there are two of you, you go into different corners, standing diagonally (对角线地) across from each other to create distance.When a third person enters, you will unconsciously form a triangle. And when there is a fourth person it becomes a square, with someone in every corner. A fifth person is probably going to have to stand in the middle.New entrants to the lift will need to size up the situation when the doors slide open and then act decisively. Once in, for most people the rule is simple – look down, or look at your phone.Why are we so awkward in lifts?“You don’t have enough space,” Professor Babette Renneberg, a clinical psychologist at the Free University of Berlin, told the BBC. “Usually when we meet other people we have a bout an arm’s length of distance between us. And that’s not possible in most elevators.”In such a small, enclosed space it becomes very important to act in a way that cannot be construed (理解) as threatening or odd. “The easiest way to do this is to avoid eye contact,”she said.5.The main purpose of the article is to _____.the floor. I explained that all I wanted was for them to count from one to twenty. Then we could relax and have a drink.I turned on the tape-recorder and each in turn seriously counted from one to twenty in their best accent. When it was over, I turned the tape-recorder off and brought round the drinks, and for the rest of the evening there was general cheerful conversation—interrupted only by the fact that I had to take a telephone call in another room, which unfortunately lasted some time.Or at least that was how it would appear. For, of course, the microphones were not connected to the tape-recorder in the middle of the room at all but to another one, which was turning happily away in the kitchen. The participants, having seen the visible tape-recorder turned off, paid no more attention to the microphones which stayed in front of their chairs, only a few inches from their mouths, thus giving excellent sound quality. And my lengthy absence meant that I was able to obtain as natural a piece of conversation as it would be possible to find.I should add, perhaps, that I did tell my friends what had happened to them, after the event was over, and gave them the choice of destroying the tape. None of them wanted to—though for some years afterwards it always seemed to be my round when it came to the buying of drinks. Linguistic research can be a very expensive business.9. The writer asked his friends to count from one to twenty because _______.A. he wanted to record the numbers for his researchB. he wanted to find out whether the tape recorder was workingC. he wanted to make his friends relax before real recording startedD. he wanted his friends to think that was all he wanted to record10. The writer went into another room to ________.A. get a natural recording of his friends’ conversationB. stay away from too much drinking with his friendsC. bring a telephone into the front roomD. answer a long distance phone call11. The writer turned off the tape-recorder because _______.A. he had to answer a phone callB. he wanted his friends to enjoy some drinksC. he thought the tape-recorder might bother his friendsD. he wanted to make his friends believe he had finished the recording参考答案9-11 DADDIt was fifteen past nine as Marie hurried into the office building where she was going to work.Her bus had inched along through heavy morning traffic, making her a few minutes late for her very first job.She decided to start out half an hour earlier the next day.Once inside the building, she had to stand at the elevators and wait several minutes before she could get on one going to the sixth floor.When she finally reached the office marked "Smith Enterprises", she knocked at the door nervously and waited.There was no reply.She tapped on the door again, but still there was no answer.From inside the next office, she could hear the sound of voices, so she opened the door and went in.Although she was sure it was the same office she had been in two weeks before when she had the interview with Mr. Smith, it looked quite different now.In fact, it hardly looked like an office at all.The employees were just standing around chatting and smoking.In the front of the room, somebody must have just told a good joke, she thought, because there was a loud burst of laughter as she came in.For a moment she had thought they were laughing at her.Then one of the men looked at his watch, clapped his hands and said something to the others.Quickly they all went to their desks and, in a matter of seconds, everyone was hard at work.No one paid any attention to Marie.Finally she went up to the man who was sitting at the desk nearest to the door and explained that this was her first day in the office.Hardly looking up from his work, he told her to have a seat and wait for Mr. Smith, who would arrive at any moment.then Marie realized that the day's work in the office began just before Mr. Smith arrived.Later she found out that he lived in Connecticut and came into Manhattan on the same train every morning, arriving in the office at 9:35, so that his staff knew exactly when to start working.12.Marie could hardly recognize the office she went into as__.A.she had been there only once B.Mr. Smith was not in the officeC.nobody was doing any work D.the office seemed different13.The people in the office suddenly started working because___.A.their morning break was ended B.the boss was about to arrive C.they saw a stranger in the office D.no one wanted to talk to Marie 14.We can infer from the text that the employees of the enterprise___.A.were cold to newcomersB.were always punctual for workC.lacked devotion to the companyD.would start their work by listening to a joke15.The best title for this text would be___.A.Punctual Like A Clock B.A Cold WelcomeC.An Unpunctual Manager D.Better Late Than Never参考答案12—15 DBCA。

Suppose you are a visitor in the land of Mongolia(蒙古), some friends ask you to eat with them. What kind of manners do they want you to have? They want you to give a loud burp(打饱嗝儿)after you finish eating. Burping would show that you like your food. In some countries, if you give a big burp, you are told to say “Excuse me, please”.In many places people like to eat together. But in some parts of Polynesia it is bad manners to be seen eating at all. People show their good manners by turning their backs on others while they eat. What are manners like in an East African town? The people try not to see you. They are being polite. You may see a friend. He may not see you at all. If you are polite, you will sit down beside him. You will wait until he finishes what he is doing. Then he will talk to you. Manners are different all over the world. But it is good to know that all manners begin in the same way. People need ways to show that they want to be friends.1. In Mongolia, burping is a way of showing that __________.A . you are impoliteB . you enjoyed the meal prepared by the hostC . your meal was not enoughD . you are friendly with your host2.

PLAYA GRANDE, COSTA RICA? This resort town was long known for Leatherback Sea Turtle (棱皮龟) national Park, nightly turtle beach tours and even a sea turtle museum. However, on a beach where dozens of turtles used to nest on a given night, scientists spied only 32 leatherbacks all of last year.With leatherbacks threatened with extinction (灭绝), Playa Grande’s turtle museum was abandoned three years ago and now sits among a sea of weeds. And the beachside ticket office for turtle tours was washed away by a high tide in September. “We do not promote that as a turtle tourism destination any more because we realize there are far too few turtles to please,” said Alvaro Fonseca, a park ranger (管理员).Even before scientists found temperatures going up over the past decade, sea turtles were threatened by beach development, drift net fishing and Costa Ricans interest in eating turtle eggs. But climate change may cause the most serious harm to an animal that has lived in the Pacific for 150 million years.Sea turtles are sensitive to numerous effects of warming. They feed on reefs, which are dying in hotter seas. They lay eggs on beaches that are being covered by rising seas and more violent waves.More uniquely their gender (性别) is determined, not by genes but by the egg’s temperature during development. Small rises in beach temperatures can result in ail-female populations, obviously problematic for survival. If the sand around the eggs hits 30 degrees Celsius, the gender balance shits to females: at about 32 degrees they are all female. Above 34, you get boiled eggs.On some nesting beaches, scientists are artificially cooling nests with shade or irrigation and trying to protect broader areas of coastal property from development to ensure that turtles have a placeto nest as the seas rise.1. Why does the resort town stop promoting it’s turtle tourism?A. It decides not to disturb the turtles’ normal life.B. Tourists have lost interest in watching turtles.C. There are only very few turtles now.D. The turtle museum was destroyed by a high tide.2. Which of the following is the major factor in the turtles endangerment?A. The locals eating habit.B. Drift net fishing.C. Beach development.D. Global warming.3. We learn from the last paragraph that scientists .A. are doing research on the sea riseB. are moving turtles to new homesC. are protecting turtles’ nestsD. are getting rid of sea weeds4. The passage intends to .A. introduce a special kind of sea turtleB. explain the mystery of turtles’ eggsC. show the dangers a certain kind of turtle is facingD. attract more visitors to a sea turtle museum【参考答案】1—4、CDCC 阅读下列四篇短文,从每小题后所给的A,B,C或D四个选项中,选出最佳选项。
The latest research suggests that the key factor separating geniuses from the merely accomplished is not I. Q. , a generally bad predictor of success. Instead, it’s purposeful practice. Top performers spend more hours practising their craft. If you wanted to picture how a typical genius might develop, you’d take a girl who possessed a slightly above average language ability. It wouldn’t have to be a big talent, just enough so that she might gain some sense of distinction. Then you would want her to meet, say, a novelist, who coincidentally shared some similar qualities. Maybe the writer was from the same town, had the same family background, or, shared the same birthday.This contact would give the girl a vision of her future self. It would give her some idea of a fascinating circle she might someday join. It would also help if one of her parents died when she was 12, giving her a strong sense of insecurity and fuelling a desperate need for success. Armed with this ambition, she would read novels and life stories of writers without end. This would give her a primary know-ledge of her field. She’d be able to see new writing in deeper ways and quickly understand its inner workings.Then she would practise writing. Her practice would be slow, painstaking and error-focused. By practising in this way, she delays the automatizing process. Her mind wants to turn conscious, newly learned skills into unconscious, automatically performed skills. By practising slowly, by breaking skills down into tiny parts and repeating, she forces the brain to internalize a better pattern of performance.
