11.Your house may have an effect on your figure.Experts say the way you design your home could play a rol e in whether you pack on the pounds or keep them off.You can make your environment work for you instead of against you.Here are some ways to turn your home into part of your diet plan.
Open the curtains and turn up the lights.Dark environments are more likely to encourage overeating,for people are often less self-conscious(難為情) when they're in poorly lit places-and so more likely to eat lots of food.If your home doesn't have enough window light,get more lamps and flood the place with brightness.
Mind the colors.Research suggests warm colors fuel our appetites.In one study,people who ate meals in a blue room consumed 33 percent less than those in a yellow or red room.Warm colors like yellow make food appear more appetizing,while cold colors make us less hungry.So when it's time to repaint,go blue.
Don't forget the clock-or the radio.People who eat slowly tend to consume about 70 fewer calories(卡路里) per meal than those who rush through their meals.Begin keeping track of the time,and try to make dinner last at 30 minutes.And while you're at it,actually sit down to eat.If you need some help slowing down,turning on relaxing music.It makes you less likely to rush through a meal.
Downsize the dishes.Big serving bowls and plants can easily make us fat.We eat about 22 percent more when using a 12-inch plate instead of a 10-inch plate.When we choose a large spoon over a smaller one,total intake(攝入) jumps by 14 percent.And we'll pour about 30 percent more liquid into a short,wide glass than a tall,skinny glass.
21.The text can help those who care aboutB.
A.their home                     B.their body shape
C.house buying                   D.healthy diets
22.A home environment in blue can help peopleA.
A.feel less hungry                 B.feel more hungry
C.burn less calories                D.burn more calories
23.What are people advised to do at mealtimes?C

C.Use smaller spoons.D.Turn down the lights
24.What can be a suitable title for the test?A
A.Is Your Hours Making You Fat?
B.Ways of Losing Weight
C.Is Your Home Environment Relaxing?
D.Effects of Healthy Diet
25.The passage is probably taken from an EnglishD?

分析 本文主要向我們介紹了自己家的房子對我們的身材很有影響.身材變化的關(guān)鍵是看你如何設(shè)計自己的家.這里給出了保持身材的四點設(shè)計建議:1.房間要明亮;2.用冷色系會減少食欲;3.放一些舒緩的音樂就餐;4.用小的碗碟就餐.

解答 21.B  推理判斷題.根據(jù)全文第一段Here are some ways to turn your home into part of your diet plan.可知要讓你的家的設(shè)計成為你減肥計劃的一部分.所以這篇文章對那些在乎自己的身材的人更有幫助.故選B.
22.A  細節(jié)理解題.根據(jù)第三段In one study,people who ate meals in a blue room consumed 33 percent less than those in a yellow or red room.可知在藍色的房間內(nèi),人吃的食物相對在黃色或者紅色房間減少33%,因此人們不會感覺很餓,故選A.
23.C  推理判斷題.根據(jù)最后一段When we choose a large spoon over a smaller one,total intake(攝入) jumps by 14 percent.用大勺和小勺吃飯,相差14%,因此建議人們用小勺吃飯,C正確;誤解分析:由第4段People who eat slowly tend to consume about 70 fewer calories(卡路里) per meal than those who rush through their meals.,說明吃得慢就吃得少,吃得快就多,故A錯;If you need some help slowing down,turning on relaxing music.說明放舒緩的音樂可以讓人吃得慢,反之則快,故B錯;第二段Dark environments are more likely to encourage overeating,由此可知房間暗會增加飲食,所以D錯;故選C.
24.A  主旨大意題.根據(jù)第一段Your house may have an effect on your figure.Experts say the way you design your home could play a role in whether you pack on the pounds or keep them off.you can make your environment work for you instead of against you.可知你的家居環(huán)境既可以讓你變胖也會讓你變瘦,故選A.
25.D 推理判斷題.根據(jù)文章內(nèi)容,主要講述了自己家的房子對我們的身材很有影響,以及提出了幾點建議,結(jié)合選項,應(yīng)是出現(xiàn)在雜志上.故選D.

So,you have to give a speech and you are terrified.You get nervous,you forget what you want to say,you stumble(結(jié)巴) over words,you talk too long,and you bore your  audience.Later you think,"Thank Goodness,it's over.I'm just not good at public speaking.I hope I never have to do that again."

If you follow these simple steps,you will see that you don't have to be afraid of public speaking.In fact,you may find the experience so enjoyable that you volunteer to make more speeches!You're not convinced yet?(40)G.

20.Elephants in Uganda are starting to come close to villages near national parks.Sometimes,the big animals harm or even kill villagers.(36)ASo,the Uganda Wildlife Authority has been giving people new tools to keep the elephants away:vuvuzelas,which became very popular in the South Africa World Cup.They are plastic instruments some fans use at sports events to cheer for their teams.
(37)CWhen the elephants hear the unpleasant sound,they leave,and no one is harmed.
An official for the Uganda Wildlife Authority says vuvuzelas work because they do not threaten the elephants.That is important because an elephant that feels threatened is more likely to attack.So far,no one has reported an elephant attacking in answer to a vuvuzela.
(38)GThey have built beehives-houses for flying insects that sting(叮咬).They have hung ropes covered in spicy (辛辣的) oil.They have dug long,deep holes.And they have used guns,called A-K47s.(39)D But over time,the elephants have stopped being afraid of the sound of the gun.They only look at the shooter and wave their ears.
Another official for the Uganda Wildlife Authority,Gessa Simblicious,says one elephant-prevention solution will not work everywhere in Uganda.And one day,elephants may get used to the vuvuzela noise,just as they do the sound of the A-K47.(40)F
  A.They are a real danger to people.
  B.The big animals are friendly to the local people.
  C.The instruments make a loud sound elephants do not like.
  D.People shoot the gun in the air to scare the elephant away.
  E.The elephants are cruelly killed in large numbers in Africa.
  F.But right now,vuvuzelas are an effective way to deal with a serious problem.
  G.Villagers have tried other ways to stop elephants from coming near farms and houses.
