【題目】 Using natural and organic products for skincare is increasingly popular-and that includes suncream. Many websites, including Pinterest and Instagram, feature users' recipes for homemade suncream. Judging from the comment, the rise in interest for homemade suncream is because some people fear the chemicals in shop-bought suncream and believe that natural products mixed at home will be better at protecting them from the sun's harmful rays. The fear originates from recent news that some suncream elements seem to disturb hormones (荷爾蒙).

Many of the homemade suncream recipes contain elements like shea butter and cocoa butter as well as coconut and vitamin E oils. The sun protection factor (SPF) values for these elements, according to the authors of these recipes, are between four and six. These SPF values, if true, are not enough to protect the skin against the harmful effects of sunlight. Some recipes include carrot seed essential oil, which the authors claim to have an SPF of 35-40. But this is unlikely, given the small amount used in these recipes. The European Commission recommended SPF factor for moderate skin protection is 15-29 (and 30-50+ for high protection).

The sun's most harmful rays are ultraviolet (UV) radiation-notably UVB and UVA radiation. UVB has a shorter wavelength and doesn't go far into the skin, but it is very dangerous as it can change the DNA in skin cells and cause skin cancer. UVA has a longer wave- length and can go much deeper into the skin. UVA can cause harmful reactive oxygen molecules (分子)called “free radicals” to form. These molecules can damage fat, protein and DNA in the skin, thereby weakening the normal function of skin cells.

Shop-bought suncream contains approved UV-blocking molecules that block UVA and UVB rays. Zinc oxide (氧化鋅)is one of these UV-blocking materials. It has been extensively tested to determine the most effective size for blocking harmful rays. It is not clear whether the zinc oxide powder recommended for the homemade recipes meets with the recommended size or proportion needed.

1What may concern consumers of the shop-bought suncream?

A.The price of it.B.The hormones in it.

C.The chemicals in it.D.The production process of it.

2What are SPF values used for?

A.Measuring the amount of chemicals in suncream.

B.Measuring the harm suncream do to people.

C.Measuring the hormone level of suncream.

D.Measuring the protective effect of suncream.

3What does paragraph 3 mainly talk about?

A.How sun protection products work.

B.What harm the sun's rays bring to skin.

C.How the sun's most harmful rays form.

D.How UVB and UVA radiation can be blocked.

4What can be inferred from the last paragraph?

A.Shop-bought suncream needs more tests.

B.More zinc oxide powder is beneficial to skin.

C.Shop-bought suncream is more suitable for people.

D.More chemicals will be added into shop-bought suncream.

【解析】

本文為議論文。使用天然和有機(jī)產(chǎn)品進(jìn)行護(hù)膚越來(lái)越受歡迎,其中包括防曬霜。有人自制防曬霜,認(rèn)為能更好地保護(hù)自己免受陽(yáng)光的傷害,其實(shí)商店買的防曬霜經(jīng)過(guò)證明對(duì)人體沒(méi)有傷害,阻止紫外線更有效。

1細(xì)節(jié)理解題。根據(jù)第一段“some people fear the chemicals in shop-bought suncream”一些人擔(dān)心商店里購(gòu)買的防曬霜中含有的化學(xué)物質(zhì),由此可知消費(fèi)者擔(dān)心在商店買的防曬霜里含有化學(xué)物質(zhì),故選C

2推理判斷題。根據(jù)第二段“The sun protection factor (SPF) values for these elements, according to the authors of these recipes, are between four and six. These SPF values, if true, are not enough to protect the skin against the harmful effects of sunlight.... The European Commission recommended SPF factor for moderate skin protection is 15-29 (and 30-50+ for high protection).”這些成分的防曬系數(shù)(SPF)值在46之間。這些SPF值,如果是真的,不足以保護(hù)皮膚免受陽(yáng)光的傷害。歐盟委員會(huì)建議中等皮膚保護(hù)的SPF系數(shù)為15-29(高保護(hù)的SPF系數(shù)為30-50+)可知,SPF為防曬系數(shù),主要是測(cè)量防曬霜的保護(hù)效果。故選D。

3主旨大意題。根據(jù)第三段“The sun's most harmful rays are ultraviolet (UV) radiation-notably UVB and UVA radiation. UVB has a shorter wavelength and doesn't go far into the skin, but it is very dangerous as it can change the DNA in skin cells and cause skin cancer. UVA has a longer wave- length and can go much deeper into the skin. UVA can cause harmful reactive oxygen molecules (分子)called free radicals to form. These molecules can damage fat, protein and DNA in the skin, thereby weakening the normal function of skin cells. 太陽(yáng)最有害的射線是紫外線(UV)輻射,特別是UVBUVA輻射。UVB波長(zhǎng)較短,不會(huì)深入皮膚,但它會(huì)改變皮膚細(xì)胞中的DNA,導(dǎo)致皮膚癌,因此非常危險(xiǎn)。紫外線波長(zhǎng)較長(zhǎng),可以深入皮膚。UVA可以導(dǎo)致有害的活性氧分子的形成。這些分子會(huì)破壞皮膚中的脂肪、蛋白質(zhì)和DNA,從而削弱皮膚細(xì)胞的正常功能。由此可推斷出本段主要敘述了太陽(yáng)對(duì)皮膚的危害。故選B。

4推理判斷題。根據(jù)最后一段“Shop-bought suncream contains approved UV-blocking molecules that block UVA and UVB rays. Zinc oxide (氧化鋅)is one of these UV-blocking materials. It has been extensively tested to determine the most effective size for blocking harmful rays 商店購(gòu)買的防曬霜含有經(jīng)過(guò)批準(zhǔn)的防紫外線分子,可以阻擋UVAUVB射線。氧化鋅是其中的一種防紫外線材料。它已被廣泛測(cè)試,證實(shí)在阻擋有害射線方面最有效?赏茢喑鲈谏痰曩I的防曬霜更適合人們。故選C。

推理判斷試題屬于高層次閱讀理解題。這種題型包括判斷題和推理題。這兩類題常常相互依存,推理是為了得出正確的判斷,正確的判斷又依賴于合乎邏輯的推理。第2小題為推理判斷題,根據(jù)第二段“The sun protection factor (SPF) values for these elements, according to the authors of these recipes, are between four and six. These SPF values, if true, are not enough to protect the skin against the harmful effects of sunlight.... The European Commission recommended SPF factor for moderate skin protection is 15-29 (and 30-50+ for high protection).”這些成分的防曬系數(shù)(SPF)值在46之間。這些SPF值,如果是真的,不足以保護(hù)皮膚免受陽(yáng)光的傷害。歐盟委員會(huì)建議中等皮膚保護(hù)的SPF系數(shù)為15-29(高保護(hù)的SPF系數(shù)為30-50+)可知,SPF為防曬系數(shù),主要是測(cè)量防曬霜的保護(hù)效果。故選D。

根據(jù)事實(shí)細(xì)節(jié),才能推斷出合理信息。推理題要求在理解原文表面文字信息的基礎(chǔ)上,作出一定判斷和推論,從而得到文章的隱含意義和深層意義。推理題所涉及的內(nèi)容可能是文中某一句話,也可是某幾句話,但做題的指導(dǎo)思想都是以文字信息為依據(jù),既不能做出在原文中找不到文字根據(jù)的推理,也不能根據(jù)表面文字信息做多步推理。也就是說(shuō),要做到判斷有據(jù), 推論有理, 忠實(shí)原文。切忌用自己的觀點(diǎn)代替作者的本意,切忌片面思考,得出片面結(jié)論。

【題目】 Last week I did something that scared me. I stood in front of nearly 200 financial planners and I talked to them about why financial blogs are a good thing. I'm a confident writer. I've been doing this long enough that I know my strength and my limitations. I'm less confident as a speaker. I don't have time to pause to collect my thoughts. I'm not able to edit. I'm afraid of being trapped in a corner without being able to talk my way out. Basically, I'm scared to speak.

It would be easy to simply refuse the chances that come my way. When somebody asks me to speak in front of a group, I could say "no". When radio and television stations call for an interview, I could say "no". But for the past two years, I've been following my own policy to say "yes" to new chances.

To say "yes" is to live in fear. My goal is to continually improve myself to become better than I am today. One way to do that is to do the things that scare me, to take them on as challenges, and to learn from them—even if I fail.

In mid-November, a local station asked me to appear on live television. "I realize it's short notice," the producer wrote, "but we'd love to have you on the show if you're available tonight." I was frightened. I thought about recent taped television interviews that I had hated. I was afraid of what might happen.

But I also thought about the things that had gone right. I thought of how my speaking skills had improved over the past year. And then I thought of the book I was reading, a book that I had bought for $1.29 at the local store. The Magic of Thinking Big was a huge bestseller during the 1960s. Written by Dr. David Schwartz, a professor at Georgia State University, the book contains dozens of practical tips on how to take risks to achieve big goals. Schwartz argues that nobody will believe in you until you believe in yourself.

So when the television producer asked if I wanted to appear on his show, I thought big. "Sure," I said. "I'll do it." I acted confidently, but on the inside I was frightened. What I needed was techniques to build up my confidence and to overcome my fear.

1Why is the author afraid of speaking in public?

A.He is aware of his potential.B.He has few chances to talk.

C.He is not able to edit what he says.D.He likes writing better.

2The underlined words "my own policy" in Paragraph 2 probably mean ________.

A.self-improving through challenges

B.hesitating before chances

C.turning down the invitations

D.saying yes to fear

3The author mentioned the book The Magic of Thinking Big mainly because ________.

A.it was inspiringB.it was a bestseller

C.its author was famousD.its price was attractive

4What is the author's purpose to write the passage?

A.To analyze his strength and weaknesses.

B.To give practical tips on speaking in public.

C.To persuade people to follow his example.

D.To share his experiences of overcoming fear.

Before the flight:

Try to book a morning flight. If it is delayed or canceled, you have the rest of the day to make alternate planes. Make sure your child doesn’t wear any clothing that has his or her name on it, which would make it easier for a stranger to convince a child he can be trusted.

At the airport:

Make sure the flight attendants know that your child is traveling alone. Make sure that he or she will be seated in an area of the aircraft that’s convenient for attendants to keep an eye on — the very front of very back of the aircraft is ideal.

Register your child’s travel plans with the U. S. State Department, which can provide assistance in an emergency. This is a free service.

What to pack:

Cell phone: If your child doesn’t have a cell phone, buy him or her a pay-as-you-go phone at a cell phone retailer (零售店) so he or she has an easy form of communication for emergencies.

Gift cards: Invest in a few pre-paid gift cards worth $ 25 or $ 50, This will reduce the worry of traveling with a large amount of cash.

Family/ friends contact information: Give your child a complete list of names, numbers and addresses of the people who are picking your child up at the airport.

I was lacking in everything needed to start a new friendship.

My parents moved to the town when they decided to look for new jobs but they didn’t realize I was really hurt when I said goodbye to my old friends. It felt awful to be a new student in the school and when my classmates were chatting, what I could do was to be caught up in my thoughts watching the clouds outside the window. I was not good at math or history; nor was I good at drawing or dancing. I was shy and timid. I had a few friends back at my hometown and it seemed that they were the only ones who I could be friends with for my whole life. I felt I had achieved a point of saturation with regard to having friends and I could make no further addition to my friend list. I was ashamed of myself, so I believed I deserved no notice from others until Emily came to my world.

Emily was fearless, outspoken and easy to go. She was everything I was not and I was too shy to come out of my shell. I met Emily in school almost every day and yet I never talked to her. We were in the same class but we were like poles apart. How I wished I could be like her or at least be a friend of hers!

It was another ordinary day.

I wandered to the bus stop in the morning and waited for the school bus. Birds were singing songs with their friends but who could I sing songs with? I got on the bus and went straight to my usual seat, complaining in a low voice about getting up early and going to school like every other day, and about how things were going to be the same all over again. Little did I realize something different would happen that day.

Para. 1:

When I got up to get down the bus, my schoolbag was stuck in the armrest. ________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________

When we wake up feeling sleepy and with dark circles under eyes, many of us often think: “I’m going to go to bed earlier tomorrow!” But however determined we are, chances are 1 we don’t stick to our promise. This behavior 2(call) “bedtime procrastination (拖延癥)” is common in our daily life.

In a study, 53 percent of the 2,400 3(participate) said they didn’t follow their sleep schedule, delaying it at least twice 4 week. It is found that they delayed bedtime not because they liked to stay up late, but they couldn’t stop 5(do) other unimportant things, which were keeping them up in the first place.

“People who generally have trouble resisting temptations and sticking to their intentions are more likely to delay going to bed.” Floor Kroese, a psychologist 6(far) explained to HufPost.

Yet, according to scientists, lack of self-control is not the only thing 7(blame). Our body clock also plays an important role when 8comes to bed time. To check the influence of the body clock 9 sleep, scientists studied the sleep patterns of 108 people. It has been found that those who get up late 10(be) more likely to postpone their bedtime than those who wake early every morning. The choices we make that affect our sleep could turn out to be pretty important for our health.
