【題目】The Healthy Habits Survey shows that only about one third of American seniors have correct habits. Here are some findings and expert advice.

1. How many times did you brush your teeth yesterday?

Finding: A full 3% of seniors brush their teeth only once a day

Step: Remove the 300 types of bacteria in your mouth each morning with a battery-operated toothbrush. Brush gently for 2 minutes at least twice a day.

2. How many times did you wash your hands or bathe yesterday?

Finding: Seniors, on average, bathe fewer than 3 days a week. And nearly 30% wash their hands only 4 times a day—half of the number doctors recommend.

Step: We touch our faces around 3,000 times a day—often inviting germs（病菌）to enter our mouth, nose, and eyes. Use toilet paper to avoid touching the door handle. And, most importantly, wash your hands often with hot running water and soap for 20 seconds.

3. How often do you think about fighting germs?

Finding: Seniors are not fighting germs as well as they should.

Step: Be aware of germs. Do you know it is not your toilet but your kitchen sponge（海綿）that can carry more germs than anything else? To kill these germs, keep your sponge in the microwave for 10 seconds.

【1】What is found out about American seniors?

A. Most of them have good habits.

B. Nearly 30% of them bathe three days a week.

【3】Which of the following is true according to the text?

A. We should keep from touching our faces.

B. A kitchen sponge can carry more germs than a toilet.

C. There are less than 300 types of bacteria in the mouth

D. We should wash our hands before touching a door handle

【4】The text probably comes from ________.

【答案】

【1】D

【2】B

【3】B

【4】A

【解析】

試題這是一篇調(diào)查報告，主要關(guān)注美國老年人健康習慣的問題。文章列出幾種老年人需要遵守的良好健康習慣狀況的調(diào)查結(jié)果，并分別提供相應的專家建議。

【1】細節(jié)理解題。由第一個問題部分Finding提到的“A full 33% of seniors brush their teeth only once a day.”可知，大約三分之一的美國老年人每天僅刷一次牙。故選D。

【2】推理判斷題。由第二個問題部分Finding提到的“And nearly 30% wash their hands only 4 times a day---half of the number which doctors recommend”可知，幾乎百分之三十的老年人一天只洗四次手——是醫(yī)生推薦量的一半，因此推斷醫(yī)生建議一天要洗八次手。故選B。

【3】細節(jié)理解題。由第三個問題Step部分的“Do you know it is not your toilet but your kitchen sponge（海綿）that can carry more germs than anything else?”可知，廚房海綿攜帶病菌的數(shù)量要比廁所還要多。故選B。

【4】推理判斷題。本文主要講述美國老年人的健康習慣，是一篇健康類說明文，因此推斷應該刊登在受歡迎的雜志上，而不是書評，導游小冊子或者官方文件。故選A。

文章出處類題目應從文章的內(nèi)容或結(jié)構(gòu)入手。從文章的內(nèi)容上來看，主要有說明文(主要涉及廣告和旅游指南等)、議論文(主要涉及影評、書評、新聞評論、正反對比議論文等)。從文章的結(jié)構(gòu)上來看，新聞報道類文章一般在第一段概括全文內(nèi)容，后面陳述細節(jié)，前面都會出現(xiàn)日期、地點或通訊社等名稱。廣告的格式特殊，語言簡練。產(chǎn)品說明會出現(xiàn)產(chǎn)品名稱或操作方式等。網(wǎng)站文章通常會出現(xiàn)click，online，web，website，video等字眼，有時還會提供網(wǎng)址等。旅游指南類文章旨在介紹某一旅游景點的自然景觀和人文特色，目的是吸引游客來訪。例如小題4，從文章內(nèi)容上可知，本文主要講述美國老年人的健康習慣，是一篇健康類說明文，因此推斷應該刊登在受歡迎的雜志上，而不是書評，導游小冊子或者官方文件。故選A。

(Every year on my birthday, from the time I turned 12, a white gardenia was delivered to my house in Bethesda, Md. No card or note came with it.)

I don’t remember ever slamming my door 【1】 anger at her and shouting, “You just don’t understand!” Because she did understand.

One month before my high-school graduation, my father died of a heart attack. My feelings ranged from grief to abandonment, fear and over-whelming anger that my dad was missing some of 【2】(important) events in my life.

【題目】 The global energy crisis is approaching. What can we do? Here are some steps you can take.

Cooling puts the greatest stress on your summer energy bill and the power grid. Just as a tune-up for your car can improve your gas mileage, a yearly tune-up of your heating and cooling system can improve efficiency and comfort. Clean or replace filter monthly or as needed.

For central air conditioning systems and room air conditioners, look for the ENERGY STAR, the federal government’s symbol for energy efficiency. For central air, purchase the system with the highest possible Seasonal Energy Efficiency Ratio. (SEER)

Use energy efficient ceiling fans either alone or with air conditioning. Ceiling fans do a great job of circulating air. When used with air conditioning, fans allow you to raise the thermostat and cut costs. Ceiling fans cool people, not rooms, so before you leave, turn off the ceiling fan.

Let a programmable thermostat “remember for you” to automatically adjust the indoor climate with your daily and weekend patterns to reduce cooling bills by up to 10 percent. You can come home to a comfortable house without wasting energy and creating pollution all day while you are at work.

Try to make your home airtight enough to increase your comfort, make your home quieter and cleaner and reduce your cooling costs up to 20 percent.

Cut your air conditioning load, and reduce pollution by planting leafy trees around your home and fixing reflective bricks on your roof.

Close blinds or shades on south-and west-facing windows during the day, or fix shading equipment to avoid heat build-up.

Turn off everything not in use: lights, TVs, computers. And use fluorescent bulbs, which provide bright, warm light while using at least two-thirds less energy, producing 70 percent less heat and lasting up to 10 times longer than incandescent bulbs.

Drive the car that gets better gas mileage whenever possible if you own more than one vehicle. If you drive 12,500 miles a year, switching 10 percent of your trips from a car that gets 20 miles per gallon to one that gets 30 mpg will save you more than 65 per year.

Carpool. The average U.S. commuter could save about 260 a year by sharing cars twice a week with two other people in a car that gets 20.1 mpg-assuming the three passengers share the cost of gas.

【1】According to the passage, the thermostat is used to ________.

A.make rooms quieterB.control room temperature

C.turn off the air conditionerD.reduce room air pollution

【2】We can conclude from the passage that the author probably discourages _________.

A.planting leafy trees around your home

B.turning off the ceiling fan before you leave your house

C.keeping your south-facing windows open during the day

D.using fluorescent bulbs instead of incandescent bulbs

【3】According to the passage, you can save fuel by _______.

A.using energy-efficient ceiling fans

B.sharing cars with others on workdays

C.turning off everything not in use

D.reducing 10% of your car trips every year

【題目】Directions: Read the following passage. Fill in each blank with a proper sentence given in the box. Each sentence can be used only once. Note that there are two more sentences than you need.

According to a new study just published in Psychological Science, any one person seen in a group just seems better looking than when viewed alone. The reason: human eyes average things out, and when it comes to faces, average is usually good.

【1】 Facial analysis studies show the symmetry(對稱) is almost always regarded as prettier than asymmetry and the most beautiful faces are the ones on which eyes are no more or less than a certain distance apart, and the forehead, chin, cheeks and other features take up no more than a certain share of the whole. It’s the reason that models may be gorgeous but can prove awfully difficult to tell apart.

“Perhaps,” says psychological scientist Drew Walker of the University of California, San Diego, in a statement that accompanied the release of the study, “beautiful people are all alike, but every unattractive person is unattractive in their own ways.”

To test how that plays out in a group setting, Walker and his UCSD collaborator, psychological scientist Edward Vul, recruited 130 undergraduate students and showed them pictures of 100 different men and women. 【2】 Other times they were cut out to show just one face at a time. Still other times, the faces were taken out of context and arranged on a simple grid (網(wǎng)格) of either four, nine or 16 faces.

Consistently, the researchers found, the sole shots were regarded as less attractive than the faces viewed in a group—whether in a real setting or on the grid. This was true regardless of the gender of the subjects and regardless of whether they would broadly be described as following most definitions of attractiveness or unattractiveness. 【3】

The explanation for the phenomenon, they believe, is the averaging effect and how it works. 【4】 “Individuals with complementary features—one person with narrow eyes and one person with wide eyes—would enjoy a greater boost in attractiveness when seen together, as compared to groups composed of individuals who have similar features,” Walker and Vul write.

A. Both the gorgeous and non- gorgeous improved by being with other people.

B. Sometimes the subjects in the pictures were shown as part of a three-person group.

C. It turns out that people don’t even need to be in an actual group to look more attractive.

D. It’s no secret that our definition of beauty is defined by a very clear set of physical norms.

AB. A big nose in the company of a small nose does not look bigger still; rather, both noses move closer to the average.

AC. While being average-looking might seem like a bad thing, the research suggests that’s not necessarily the case for attractiveness.
