13.When it comes to grocery shopping,we know it's wise not to go on an empty stomach,but when should you head to the supermarket to bag the best bargains?Believe it or not,there's actually one day of the week that's better than the rest.
While it may be the most convenient for you to shop on weekends,it's much cheaper to handle your grocery list on Wednesdays.According to Lifehacker,this mid-week day is when many grocery stores release new sale ads,but also honor the previous week's sale items.That means you will have more sale items at your fingertips.
MyGroceryDeals.Com also confirms that Wednesday is the best day for grocery shopping."For about half of the country,this is the day when approximately half of the retailers (零售商) start their weekly sales,"site representative Gord Crowson told GBS News.Of course,you should double-check with your local stores to be sure.
To save even more,experts say that shopping in the evening is your best bet.That means Wednesday nights are the ultimate (最后的) time to buy."This is the time when perishables(易腐物品) are typically reduced for quick sales,"Crowson added."If the Produce,Bakery or Meat departments are concerned about having too much stock(庫存;存貨) left over at the end of the day,they will often reduce the price by up to 50percent to encourage quick sales."
So,when your refrigerator needs to be restocked,make time to shop on Wednesday nights.You'll give yourself the best chance to score the biggest deals on your meals.

45.To buy groceries,which time may be highly recommended?C
A.Wednesdays before dinner.
B.Weekends before dinner
C.Wednesdays after dinner            
D.Weekends after dinner
46.According to the passage,it can be learned thatA.
A.a(chǎn)bout half the retailers may start their weekly sales on Wednesdays
B.new sale ads are always released by grocery stores at weekends
C.the price of most groceries will be reduced by half at weekends
D.the mid-week day may be the most convenient for people to shop
47.According to the passage,it can be inferred that on WednesdaysA.
A.not all items are reduced for quick sales         
 B.perishables are usually not available
C.many stores stop their weekly sales             
D.shoppers'refrigerators tend to be empty.

分析 本文屬于說明文閱讀,作者通過這篇文章主要向我們描述了周三晚餐后最適合購物買雜貨,因為約一半的零售商可能會開始促銷在周三.

46.A.細節(jié)理解題.根據(jù)第三段For about half of the country,this is the day when approximately half of the retailers (零售商) start their weekly sales可知大約一半的零售商可能會開始促銷在周三;故選A.
47.A.推理判斷題.根據(jù)第四段This is the time when perishables(易腐物品) are typically reduced for quick sales,"Crowson added."If the Produce,Bakery or Meat departments are concerned about having too much stock(庫存;存貨) left over at the end of the day可知易腐爛的東西周三促銷的最厲害但是并不是所有的優(yōu)惠降價迅速銷售的;故選A.

3.Being Authoritative (由權(quán)威的) ParentsPhrases like"tiger mom"and‘‘helicopter parent"have made their way into everyday language.Many of us find ourselves drawn to the idea that with just a bit more parental hard work and effort,we might turn out children with bright futures.But is there anything wrong with a kind of"overparenting style"?
Parental involvement has a long history of being studied.Many of the studies,conducted by Diana Baumrind,a famous psychologist at the University of California,Berkeley,have found that a good parent is the one who is involved and reacts to her child in a positive way,who sets high expectations but gives her child independence.These"authoritative parents"appear to hit the sweet spot of parental involvement and generally raise children who do better academically,psychologically and socially than children whose parents are not strict and less involved,or controlling and more involved.Why is this parenting style so successful?
Authoritative parents actually help improve motivation in their children.Carol Dweck,a social psychologist at Stanford University,has done research that indicates why authoritative parents raise more motivated children.In a typical experiment,Dr.Dweck takes young children into a room and asks them to solve a simple puzzle.Most do so with little difficulty.But then Dr.Dweck tells some,but not all,of the kids how clever they are.As it turns out,the children who are not told they're smart are more motivated to solve increasingly difficult puzzles.They also show higher levels of confidence and show greater progress in puzzle-solving.
As the experiment suggests,praising children's talents and abilities seems to shake their confidence.Dealing with more difficult puzzles carries the risk of losing one's status as"smart".Dr.Dweck's work strongly supports that of Dr.Baumrind,who also found that reasonably supporting a child's independence and limiting interference (干涉) causes better academic and emotional results.
The central task of growing up is to develop a sense of self that is independent and confident.If you treat your young child who is just learning to walk as if she can't walk,you reduce her confidence.Allowing children to make mistakes is one of the greatest challenges of parenting.It is easier when they are young.The potential mistakes carry greater risks,and part of being a parent is reducing risk for our children.
24.According to the passage,a"tiger mom"D.
A.helps her children realize their dreams      
B.speaks her children's everyday language
C.places reasonable expectations on her children   
D.pays close attention to her children's experiences
25.It is implied that controlling style of parenting mayC.
A.face more challenges of children         
B.foster independence in children
C.cause more problems in children              
D.lead to children's academic success
26.The example of the children doing the puzzles suggests thatB.
A.a(chǎn) good game plays a big role in training young minds
B.overpraising makes children less motivated a nd confident
C.puzzle-solving can give children the motivation they need
D.bright children usually show less confidence in difficult games
27.The last paragraph tells us thatC.
A.children should not be given much freedom
B.parents should not increase the risk of challenging
C.parents should allow their children to learn from mistakes
D.children should correct mistakes with the help of their parents.

4.In this section we consider what you can do to train your brain to improve your game playing skills.
1.Daily workout
It is very easy to find tactical puzzles and train.However,you must try to solve them.Don't just stare at the position for 10seconds and then turn to the solution.You won't learn anything.Have a go at trying to solve the puzzle.If you got it right then great----well done.However,if you got it wrong,then have another look.Ask yourself questions such as the following:
•Why did I get it wrong?
•What was wrong with my solution?
•What was the weakness that the tactic exploited?
Where can you find tactical puzzles?
It's easy.They are everywhere.Many newspapers,including Independent,and magazines have a daily or weekly chess puzzle.Key"chess puzzles"into Google and you'll find a whole load of them.There are plenty of puzzle books.
2.Use software
Nowadays chess software is terribly cheap.World Champion Vladimir Kramnik recently lost a match 4-2against a software program.This program is available for about£30.
In general,people use chess software for the wrong reasons.They often play game after game against the machine and get beaten every time.Bored with this,they turn the playing level right down so that the program is almost playing random moves and then they can beat it every time and feel better.
Neither method will help you improve.However,chess software can be a fantastically useful learning tool if used in two particular ways.
The first is if you have tried to solve a puzzle but it's a bit too difficult and you don't really understand the solution.Never mind----well done for trying.Now set the position up on the program and try different moves.Chess software is faultless at tactical play.It will instantly tell you the right and wrong moves and why they do or don't work.
Secondly you can run over games you have played to learn where you have gone wrong and where you could have improved.Get into the habit of keeping the score (i.e.writing down the moves) of games that you play.This will help you to improve and refine your understanding of tactical themes and patterns.

56.What would be the best title of this passage?D
A.How to Train Your Brain
B.Where to Find Tactical Puzzles
C.Daily Workout and Use of Software
D.How to Improve Your Chess-Playing Skills
57.The underlined part"tactical puzzles"in the second paragraph most probably meansB.
A.puzzles making us better understand themes and patterns of difficult games
B.puzzles showing us how to train our brains to think more effectively
C.puzzles teaching us some skills to play more difficult games
D.puzzles only teaching us how to play chess games well
58.Which of the following would be the right way of using chess software?C
A.Playing as many games against the machine as possible.
B.Always trying difficult puzzles to improve your chess skills.
C.Running over games you've played to learn from mistakes and improve.
D.Turning the playing level down to build your self confidence and feel better.
59.What does the writer think about chess software?A
A.Chess software will help a lot if properly used.
B.Chess software below 30pounds is too cheap to use.
C.Chess software is a fantastically useful learning tool in daily work.
D.Chess software helps improve understanding of tactical themes and patterns.

8.People,like all living things,need food.Food gives us the nutrients our bodies need.(36)AEnergy is needed to carry out the life processes.
Our bodies cannot use the nutrients or energy in food unless the food is changed.The changing of food into a form the body can use is called digestion.
What does digestion do?(37)E Digestion also changes the chemicals of food.It changes large,complex food molecules (微粒) into smaller,simpler ones.
 (38)C Digestion takes place in the digestive tract.The digestive tract is a long,winding tube in your body.If stretched out,the digestive tract would be more than 9 meters (30 feet) long.
What are the parts of the digestive tract?The parts of the digestive tract are:the mouth,the foodpipe,the stomach,the small intestine(腸),and the large intestine
There are many organs along the digestive tracts,such as the liver.(39)F The digestive tract and the other digestive organs make up your digestive system.
Food enters the body through the mouth.Waste materials (undigested food) leave the body through the anus(肛門).The anus is at the end of the large intestine.
Digestion is a step-by-step process.(40)B It takes food from one to two days to pass through the entire digestive tract.

A.It also gives us energy.
B.It does not take place quickly.
C.Where does digestion take place?
D.Does the food also give us much strength?
E.Digestion breaks down large pieces of food into smaller pieces.
F.These organs are not part of the digestive tract,but they help in digestion.
G.Although they don't belong to the digestive tract,they help us fight diseases.
