Smokers who quit tend to pack on an average of 5 pounds after they stop smoking cigarettes. A new study, published by the journal Science, explains why this happens.The new research explains that nicotine appears to combine with appetite-regulating neurons (调节食欲的神经元) in the brain, besides the receptors (感受器) that bring about addiction. These neurons help regulate how much food gets consumed, but under the influence of nicotine, they lose their selfcontrol. This is why when smokers quit, they tend to eat more and gain weight.The researchers believe that their discovery will lead to the development of drugs that aim at nicotine receptors on brain cells that control appetite. In the future, weight gain may no longer be a reason for smokers to delay the decision to kick the habit, but that’s no reason to wait. Nicotine-replacement treatment, while not for everyone, can help. Here are a few more ways to quit smoking and stay slim.Drink water. To improve metabolic (新陈代谢的) rates which is helpful in losing weight, make half of those glasses ice water. Juice can be too high in calories, something you’ll want to keep an eye on your journey toward being a slimmer nonsmoker.Plan your snacks. Healthy snacks help keep your metabolism working, so you continue to burn calories while stopping wild hunger pain, or fake hunger.Keep moving. Exercise kills two birds with one stone. It helps you burn calories and prevents you from eating when you’re not truly hungry. It’s also a feelgood stress reliever (缓解物).Focus on your fitness and how being healthy makes you feel. Make exercise a goal and think of quitting as your reward for being physically fit.1.Which of the following changes people’s appetite according to the new research?A.Nicotine.B.Appetiteregulating neurons.C.The receptors that bring about addiction.D.The food that has been consumed.2.By saying “but that’s no reason to wait” in Paragraph 3, the author means that ________.A.some new drugs are going to be developed soonB.nicotinereplacement treatment cannot help everyoneC.losing weight shouldn’t be an excuse for smokingD.some ways to quit smoking while staying slim are available3.The author believes that ________.A.ice water can improve metabolic ratesB.smokers should eat fewer snacks to keep slimC.stress can lead to fake hungerD.exercise can help one eat less4.According to the passage, we can infer that ________.A.exercise helps you burn calories and makes you not want to eatB.speeding up metabolic rates is helpful to lose weightC.it is nicotine that regulates how much food gets consumedD.drinking water is good to reduce the stress5.The purpose of the text is ________.A.to introduce the result of a new studyB.to explain the reason why smokers become slimC.to prove the possibility of being a slim nonsmokerD.to tell us ways to quit smoking without gaining weight5. 解析:选D。

Kannan,put it:That seems to suggest that even if employers were to say tomorrow that everybody had the option of telecommuting and that it would save a lot of gas,that’s not going to happen.What’s going on?Some of it is obvious:people like to go to the office for social reasons,even if their work tasks don’t require it.And that’s not just to be around other people.Our social needs also include being seen,and making “right” impressions on bosses and colleagues.Our own research at Work Design Collaborative is completely consistent with that interpretation.So how are we actually going to realize the energy-saving opportunities that we’re missing?It seems to me there are two very basic actions called for.First,organizations must make distributed work not only available but expected by more pany policies and financial incentives can easily “push” workers into changing their patterns.Note that I am not advocating making everyone a full-time telecommuter.But justgetting half of the workforce to work from home or in a nearby facility two days a week would save 20% of the gasoline now being consumed by moving people from homes to offices.Second,we also need some national public policy initiatives to encourage people to work from home.It’s time to realize just how critical telecommuting and distributed work are to our national security—on several levels.It’s about reducing our dependence on foreign sources of energy.It’s about business continuity in the face of natural disasters(Katrina,etc.) and/or acts of terrorism.And perhaps most importantly of all,it’s about reducing greenhouse gases as we address the global climate crisis I wrote about yesterday in An Incon v enient Truth.16.What can we learn from the first paragraph?A.One-quarter of the US workforce is now doing their jobs at home.B.The people who prefer to work from home can not afford to telecommute.C.Although they can telecommute,Americans still prefer to work at office.D.More and more people who can telecommute prefer to work from home.17.According to the study,people don’t choose to work from home because________.A.the working culture now is still not favorableB.people want to meet their social needsC.people are afraid of falling behind their colleaguesD.people can’t work well without teamwork18.According to the passage,the main benefit for people to work from home is that________.A.there would be less traffic jamsB.working efficiency could be greatly increasedC.the energy-saving opportunities could be realizedD.the relation between bosses and workers could be greatly improved19.What’s the author’s attitude towards working from home?A.He thinks it is too early to put it into practice.B.He thinks it is ideal and not practical enough.C.He thinks it is the company’s fault for its delay.D.He is completely in favor of it.20.The underlined word “incentives” in the passage has a similar meaning to________.A.encouragements B.pressuresC.crisis D.servicesⅢ.短文改错Last week ,my parents and I took a two-days trip to Emei Mountain in Sichuan.As everyone knows ,it ’s famous mountain with all kinds of plants and animals.The weather was fine.It was about noon we arrived at the mountain.The three of them were very excited.As we climbed the mountain ,we fed monkeys ,visiting temples and told stories.On the way up I was busy taking picture since the scenery was so beautiful.Time passes quickly.Evening came down ,and we spent the night in a hotel at the top of the mountain.The food was expensive and the service was good.I was so tired that I fell asleep at the moment my head touched the pillow.1.B2.B3.C4.C5.A6.B7.D8.D9.B 10.B 11.C 12.B 13.A 14.C15.A 16.C 17.B 18.C 19.D 20.AⅢ.短文改错Last week ,my parents and I took a two-days two-daytrip to Emei Mountain in Sichuan.As everyone knows ,it ’s ∧a famous mountain with all kinds of plants and animals.The weather was fine.Itwas about noon ∧when we arrived at the mountain.The three of them uswere very excited.As we climbed the mountain ,we fed monkeys ,visiting visitedtemples and told stories.On the way up I was busy taking picture pictures since the scenery was so beautiful.Time passes passedquickly.Evening came down\ ,and we spent the night in a hotel at the top of the mountain.The food was expensiveand but the service was good.I was so tired that I fell asleep at\ the moment my head touched the pillow.。

答案:DⅡ.阅读理解(2012·湖北省部分重点中学高三联考)Cittaslow has discovered China, and it is awarding a little village in Jiangsu the title of “slow city”.The bored teenagers of Gaochun are impatient with the leisurely pace of hometown life. For them there is no nightlife to speak of, no bright lights, no excitement and they cannot wait to grow up and leave for the urban attractions of the big cities. But it is this laidback lifestyle that has attracted international attention. At least, a quiet village within Gaochun county has come under the spotlight. Yaxi village, population 20,000, is about to be designated China's first “slow city” by Cittaslow, the sustainable lifestyle movement that first surfaced in Italy 11 years ago.At home, the residents at Yaxi are unfazed and pretty much unimpressed by the honor. To them, life has been like this for as long as they can remember. Here, growing old gracefully is natural.Nobody living in this little county had heard of Cittaslowor the words “slow city” before this.“The first time I heard the term was last July, when thevicepresident of Cittaslow, Angelo Vassallo, visited Yaxi village,” says Zuo Niansheng, the chief editor of local newspaper Gaochun Today.“Vassallo was deeply impressed by this village's natural and cultural resources and said it perfectly fitted the requirements for a slow city,” says Zuo.That was how Yaxi became connected with Cittaslow.The Slow City must also be committed to protect and maintain the natural environment as well as promote a sustainable way of development, all of which are the current strategies adopted in Gaochun.“We've been doing this for years,”adds Zuo.Cittaslow was founded in Tuscany, Italy in 1999.
