【題目】Dear Grandma,

It was nice seeing you at Christmas．You looked so happy!

After losing two grandparents within the past year, I have taken some time to reflect on what is most important．I want to let you know what a positive influence you have been on me．I am the person I am because of you．

I remember being on your farm a lot when I was younger．I remember the projects you planned for us．We painted rocks to represent our family members．We made doll clothes out of colorful socks．We made many "playhouses" in the woods．

We learned that if you left a bucket of soybeans in the rain, you would soon have a bucket of growing beans．We learned that if we helped pick the strawberries in the morning, we'd have them on our ice cream in the afternoon．We learned that some plants have funny names, like the elephant ear plant．We learned that you could make do with what you had．We learned that making things out of paper and cardboard was more fun than what came inside the packaging．We learned it was OK to get dirty, but Grandma would wash us up before Mom came．

You once made models of everyone's houses, which made me want to be an architect．Another time, you made quilts for all of the grandkids．I still use mine every night．The edge has worn out．

But you taught me how to fix it．

I love and respect you．You are always patient, with a quiet determination．

Grandma, thank you for everything you have taught me．I hope that I am able to pass on all these memories and skills to my children and grandchildren．

Love always,

Kelly

【解析】

試題分析: 這是一封我在圣誕節(jié)寫(xiě)給祖母的信，祖母教給我很多技藝，給了我很多愛(ài)和濃濃的情誼，令我難忘。

【1】A 細(xì)節(jié)理解題。由“I want to let you know what a positive influence you have been on me．I am the person I am because of you．”可知，在失去了兩位長(zhǎng)輩后，我逐漸認(rèn)識(shí)到祖母對(duì)我產(chǎn)生的深遠(yuǎn)影響。 故選A。

【2】C 細(xì)節(jié)理解題。由“The edge has worn out． But you taught me how to fix it．”可知，祖母教了我修補(bǔ)被子的邊緣。第四段中大部分的learn表示“了解，知道”，并不是學(xué)會(huì)。D項(xiàng)明確表示“教了我”。故選C。

【3】B 推理判斷題。文章中祖母教我修被子，做冰激凌，經(jīng)營(yíng)農(nóng)場(chǎng)的生產(chǎn)，等等。因此祖母很精于制作，心靈手巧。故選B。

【3】B推理判斷題。祖母教給了我很多技藝，而我也很懷念祖母對(duì)我的教導(dǎo)。這封信表達(dá)了我對(duì)祖母濃濃的愛(ài)和思念。故選B。

People who averaged fewer than seven hours of sleep per night in the weeks before being exposed to the cold virus were nearly three times as likely to get sick as those who averaged eight hours or more, a new study found．

Researchers used frequent telephone interviews to track the sleep habits of more than 150 men and women aged 21 to 55 over the last few weeks．Then they exposed the subjects to the virus, quarantined（檢疫隔離）them for five days and kept track of who got sick．

Besides sleeping more, sleeping better also seemed to help the body fight illness: Patients who fared better on a measure known as “sleep efficiency”—the percentage of time in bed that you’re actually sleeping—were also less likely to get sick．

The results held true even after researchers adjusted for elements such as body-mass index, age, sex, smoking and pre-existing antibodies（抗體）to the virus．

The researchers aren’t exactly sure why sleeping better makes you less likely to develop a cold．But they do try to give an answer: “Sleep disturbance influences the regulation of symptom mediators（調(diào)節(jié)因子）that are released in response to infection．” In plain English, maybe tossing and turning when you’re infected with the cold virus contributes to the symptoms that define a cold．

The researchers were based at Carnegie Mellon, the University of Pittsburgh and the University of Virginia, and the study was funded by the National Institutes of Health．

【1】According to the passage, what does the underlined word “subjects” mean in paragraph 2?

A．a(chǎn)reas of knowledge in a school

B．people being studied in an experiment

C．research topics

D．a(chǎn)nimals being tested

【2】It is shown in the passage that _______．

A．the researchers obtain information about the sleep habits by frequent interviews

B．the researchers do their research in the National Institutes of Health

C．people hope to avoid being infected with a cold by sleeping as much as possible

D．sleeping more and better helps regulate the symptom mediators

【3】What’s the best title of the passage?

A．The Relationship Between Virus and Cold

B．How to Sleep Well

C．Good Sleep Helps Fight a Cold

D．The More the Sleep, the Better Your Body

Weekend at last! Something you’re looking forward to after a tiring week at work.

Here are several tips on how to make the most of your weekends.

Spend time with loved ones. Reconnect with family members or friends you neglected (疏忽) lately. Don’t do it out of guilt or because you have to. Do it because you want to. Reach out to them to see how they are doing. 【1】 Return their calls if you were busy when they last tried to reach you. Talk to them. Listen to them. Be there for them.

【2】 Stay away from TV, iPad, iPhone and any other electronic devices. Unplug! Your brain needs to clear up from all the stress you’ve put on yourself during the week. Why not read a book instead? A paper one. Seriously, when was the last time you did that?

Laugh, laugh and laugh again. You can never have enough of it. Laugh is the best medicine ever. 【3】 For example, it helps you manage stress, strengthens your immune system and you are 40 percent less likely to suffer a heart attack.

Express appreciation. 【4】 Be grateful for your family, friends, health, the food you put on the table, the clothes you wear and the air that you breathe.

There you are. Doing a few things during weekends will have a positive long-term effect on your life. 【5】

A. Apply the “no technology” rule.

B. Pause and pay attention to your thoughts.

C. Friendship is the best source of happiness.

D. Don’t Call them only when you need them.

E. It benefits your mental and physical health in so many ways.

F. Put them into practice and you'll beat the Monday Blues.

G. This is something you should be doing every day, not only on weekends.

【題目】Long-time exposure to air pollution can lead to physical changes in the brain and cause trouble in learning and memory, and even anxiety. This is suggested by the results of new research on mice.

While other studies have shown the harmful effects of polluted air in the lungs and heart, this is the first to show the negative effect on the brain.

The team of Laura Fonken, Randy Nelson, from the Ohio State University, USA, has spread to the brain a previous line of research which found that fine particulate (微粒) matter floating in the air mainly because of air pollution caused by humans, causes swelling in much of the body, and may be related to high blood pressure problems, and some other diseases.

In the research Fonken and his colleagues exposed mice to polluted air for six hours each day, five days a week, over a period of 10 months, almost half the average life length of mice.

Polluted air contains fine particles created by cars, factories and natural dust. Fine particles of this kind are tiny, about 2.5 micrometers in diameter, or about one-thirtieth the width of a human hair. These particles can go deep into lungs and other organs.

The concentration of this particulate material to which they exposed mice is equal to the concentration at which people can be exposed in some polluted urban areas.

After a period of 10 months, the researchers got the animals to have a series of behavioral tests. Both the behavior of mice and the results of neurological(神經(jīng)的) tests done to them show that those within the polluted air had more problems in learning and memory, and higher levels of anxiety.

The results suggest that long-time exposure to polluted air can have measurable negative effects on the human brain and can cause a variety of mental health problems. This could have important consequences for those living and working in polluted urban areas.

【1】The results of new research on mice first suggest that polluted air mainly does harm to ________.

A. normal organsB. lungs and heart

C. mental healthD. blood pressure

【2】The bad effects of tiny particles in polluted air are those except ________.

A. high blood pressure problems

B. making human hair thinner

C. different kinds of diseases

D. swelling in much of the body

【3】From the last sentence we can infer that people living in polluted urban areas ________.

A. are likely to suffer from mental problems

B. can measure the negative effect on them

C. show little concern for air pollution

D. can be exposed to polluted air longer

【4】Which of the following is the best title for the passage?

A. Long-time Exposure to Air Pollution

B. Evidence and Concern of Air Pollution

C. Measurable Effect on Human Brain

D. Mental Problems Caused by Air Pollution

【題目】More than 30,000 people went to the White House on Monday for the 136th Easter Egg Roll (復(fù)活節(jié)滾彩蛋). President Barack Obama and First Lady Michelle Obama held the event by inviting thousands of kids to color and look for eggs. The theme(主題) of the day was “Hop Into Healthy, Swing Into Shape.” It was part of the First Lady s“Let' s Move!”program to reduce obesity rates (肥胖率) among American kids. Mrs. Obama spoke to young reporters about her goal(目標(biāo)) to get children to eat right and keep moving.

“We are working to make sure that kids born today grow up healthy, learn how to have balanced meals, and get more physical activity into their lives,” she said.

Mrs. Obama said she wants children across the nation to understand that "exercise isn't just hard work, it' s play. If you're running around with your dog, you're getting exercise. If you walk up the stairs, that's exercise. But if you're sitting in front of the TV or on a computer game, you're not exercising.”

The First Lady said that for kids who have balanced meals most of the time, having a special snack, like chocolate, will not hurt. "And if you are active, you can splurge (揮霍) a little more," she said. Mrs. Obama’s favorite "splurge food" is French fries. But she balances her splurging by exercising almost every day. She loves to play tennis and she practices yoga.

“A lot of kids look up to(敬仰) athletes, and I think it's important for athletes to share their good habits,” Mrs. Obama said. "Kids aren' t just going to wake up and be LeBron James. He's practicing and eating right and working out and training. Our athletes can be really good messengers to kids who look up to them — they can say to kids, ‘If you really want to be like me, then you really do need to eat your vegetables.’”

【1】The purpose of the “Let’s Move!” program is to ________.

A. help kids keep healthy

B. train more young reporters

C. encourage kids to eat more eggs

D. invite kids to visit the White House

A. can be fun to do

B. means hard work

C. should be done outdoors

D. requires special equipment

【3】“Splurge food” is allowed to be eaten when ________.

A. you don' t hurt yourself

B. you have a special snack

C. you never eat French fries

D. you eat right and stay active

【4】What can we learn from the last paragraph?

A. All kids want to be LeBron James.

B. It is very easy to form good habits.

C. Athletes can set a good example for kids.

D. Kids like the messages the athletes give them.
