9．Lost forever
Most people have heard about Didus ineptus，or the dodo，as it is more commonly known．It was the flightless，long-extinct（滅絕的）member of the dove family that lived in the Indian Ocean island of Mauritius．The name"dodo"comes from the Portuguese and means"a person who is foolish"；（31）C，to call someone a"dodo"（32）Atheir stupidity．The dodo was a foolish creature about the size of a turkey and was easily fooled by sailors who tapped on trees to（33）Cits attention．It would come（34）D towards the sound and was easily caught and whisked on board ship to become a valuable source of fresh，but tough meat．
Another expression to appear from the（35）Abird's situation is to say that something is"as dead as a dodo"，which means long since dead，very much（36）B，or deserted．Of the many animals that people have removed from the face of the earth，the dodo has probably made the greatest contribution to our（37）D．
Another less well-known but（38）Bextinct bird is Aepyornis maximus，more commonly known as the elephant bird of Madagascar．This creature（39）Ca very thickset，three-metre-tall emu（鴯鹋）（40）Dover half a ton and is thought to be the largest bird that ever lived．It was big in every way，even its eggs were extremely large．An elephant bird egg could measure up to ninety centimetres in diameter and（41）C nine liters of liquid，about 200 ordinary chicken eggs．The eggs were in fact three times larger than dinosaur eggs．
  It's hard to imagine how impressive the elephant bird must have been as it walked about proudly in its natural habitat．For thousands of years its size（42）Awas enough to scare the meat-eating animals．（43）Bit was a flightless bird，its sharp claws and powerful neck and beak ensured it could look after itself-that is，up until the Europeans arrived on Madagascar．They not only hunted elephant birds for food but began（44）Ctheir eggs as gifts．Sadly it was made（45）Daround I700，and the world became a much poorer place because of it

分析 介紹了一種滅絕已久的鳥----dodo鳥，并介紹幾個與之相關(guān)的短語．

解答 31-35 CACDA 36-40 BDBCD 41-45 CABCD
31．C 考察連詞．根據(jù)上下文語境此處表示因果關(guān)系，therefore因此，符合題意．
32．A 考察動詞短語．把愚蠢的人稱為"dodo"，即refer  to動詞短語，指代．
33．C 考察動詞．a(chǎn)ttract one‘s attention是固定短語，吸引某人的注意力．
34．D考察分詞． 前文提到 was easily fooled by sailors 很容易被欺騙，所以一聽到聲音就一路跑來．
35．A 考察形容詞．根據(jù)第一段的介紹這種鳥是不幸運的． 
 36．考察形容詞．根據(jù)后句or deserted可知outdated為過時的，兩者并列．
37．D考察名詞．前面介紹了和 dodo鳥相關(guān)的兩個短語，所以對人類貢獻的是語言方面．
38．B 考察副詞．前面的dodo鳥瀕臨滅絕，另外一個同樣extinct bird 的鳥．
39．C考察動詞短語．look like 是動詞短語，看起來很像． 
40．D考察分詞．  over half a ton 說的是重量，所以用weight，二者是主動關(guān)系．
41．C  考察動詞．蛋里含有nine liters of liquid…contain此處時含有的意思．
42．A考察副詞．根據(jù)句意，單從尺寸上看，alone此處是單獨的．
43．B 考察連接詞．根據(jù)句意even though引導讓步狀語從句．
44．C 考察分詞．collect意思是收集，和主語They是主動關(guān)系，所以用現(xiàn)在分詞形式．
45．D考察形容詞．介紹的這個鳥，早在大約1700年就滅絕了，是一件傷心的事情．

點評 解答細節(jié)理解題時，一個常用的方法就是運用定位法，即根據(jù)題干和選項中的關(guān)鍵詞從原文中找到相關(guān)的句子，與選項進行比較從而確定答案；推理判斷題 既要求學生透過文章表面文字信息推測文章隱含意思，又要求學生對作者的態(tài)度、意圖及文章細節(jié)的發(fā)展作正確的推理判斷，力求從作者的角度去考慮，不要固守自己的看法或觀點

[2]Wear loose-fitting comfortable clothing arid supportive shoes．Before exercising，warm up for five minutes to slowly increase your heart rate and warm your muscles．Follow your workout with an additional five minutes of light physical activity and stretching to slow your heart rate and breathing．
[3]The exercising should be at a moderate pace for a minimum of 150minutes per week or 30minutes a day five days a week．Beginning cardiovascular（心血管的）exercises may include walking，swimming，biking，dancing and light jogging．The exercise doesn't have to be done in one session．Breaking your cardiovascular routine into 10or 15-minute intervals offers the same health benefits and helps beginners build stamina．

20．Is Dieting Ok for Kids？
You may know some adults and kids who worry about their weight and say they're going on a diet．You might wonder if you should be on a diet，too． （36）CWhy？Let's find out．
Dieting to Lose Weight
（37）EWhen someone diets to lose weight，the person is trying to eat fewer calories than the body uses．By doing this，the person may lose body fat and decrease his or her weight．Likewise，if a person eats more calories than the body uses，the person may gain weight．
Kids usually do not need to diet in this way． （38）BDuring this time，kids need a variety of healthy foods to keep their bodies growing properly．Some kids are overweight，but even overweight kids often can improve their health simply by eating nutritious foods and being more active．
（39）GBut kids may hurt their health even more by doing something drastic，like skipping meals or deciding to eat only lettuce．
Who Needs to Diet？
Though some people may feel they weigh too much or too little，there is no perfect body shape．Some people have larger frames （bigger bones） and will always look bigger and heavier than people with smaller frames．
（40）FYour doctor can examine you and check your body mass index （身體質(zhì)量指數(shù)）．That's a way of estimating how much body fat you have．If the doctor is concerned about your weight，he or she can recommend a couple of goals：
for you to gain weight at a slower pace
for you to maintain your current weight
For some kids，the doctor may recommend losing some weight，but this should be done with the doctor's help．Kids who need to lose weight may visit with a dietitian who can explain how to reduce calories safely while still getting all the necessary nutrients．

A．It is important to form a good eating habit．
B．Unlike adults，kids are still growing and developing．
C．But most kids do not need to-and should not-diet this way．
D．Not eating properly can be very harmful to kids．
E．All foods and many drinks contains calories．
F．Talk to your doctor if you have questions about your weight．
G．Being overweight can cause health problems．

We need more men in our hospital，not as doctors，but as nurses．Over the last few years，I have found that having male nurses is a real bonus，and they definitely have a place in our hospital．There are several reasons for wanting male nurses here，not only because half the population in our country is male．Men （41）Gexcellent carers and are （42）Cgood at taking care of others．In fact，many men take good care of their children，wives，parents，sisters，brothers，and even their nieces and nephews．
Another reason that men can become great nurses is that in general，men are （43）Hstronger than women．Male nurses can help （44）Eheavy objects，or if，for example，a patient cannot move from the waist down，male nurses can help move the patient into a comfortable （45）J．Also，male nurses can be a great help in keeping patients （46）Bwhile they receive painful treatment，such as when bandages covering wounds are changed．Another advantage to having male nurses is that they see things from a different （47）Ffrom women and bring a male way of thinking to problem-solving．This allows the hospital to work more effectively than if we only （48）Iproblems one way．Having a mix of male and female nurses also helps create a fun atmosphere，which helps patients recover faster．
Currently，only 7 percent of our nursing staff are men； this number is far too low，and the problem requires correction．Having more male nurses will help create a positive（49）Dbetween male and female staff，and it will （50）Kpatients the choice of a male or female carer．I am determined to take on more male nurses here at Central Hospital．I will be organizing an open day soon to allow interested young men to visit our hospital and find out more about nursing．Hopefully，we will have more male nurses in our hospital soon!

1．To tweet，or not to tweet？
A guide to the social networking/microblogging service Tewitter
SINCE its creation in 2006，Twitter，the social networking service，has taken cyber space by storm．At first glance it might seem like Facebook，but Twitter is in a league of its own，connecting people with fast-paced updates．It has become a place for activities，celebrities，businesses and everyday people to let others know about videos，opinions，interesting news，advertisements-and，yes what they are eating for lunch．
Twitter：n．a(chǎn) free social networking service that connects users through fast-paced status updates．Twitter-er：n．one who uses Twitter．Tweet：n．short updates or messages，of 140characters or less，wh ich are posted on your profile and sent to your followers．Retweet （RT）：n．unofficial Twitter feature that indicates a re-posting of a tweet from another user．Often uses the text RT@username （of the original source） before the post．Follower：n．one who receives another user's updates on his or her Twitter profile．Direct message：n．a(chǎn) private message sent from one Twitter-er to another．
The phenomenon includes a host of new vocabulary terms and concepts that every self-respecting Twitter-er should know．Here's a quick course on Twitter．
So you've finally been swept up by the techno-tide and gotten a Twitter account．But what to write？Who knew 140characters could be so overwhelming？
Darren Rowse of the TwiTip blog（www．twitip．com） recommends a two-step tweeting process：figure out what your follows want，and then give it to them．Some combination of cool links，conversation-starting quotes or questions，retweets and photos works well，Rowse writes．
Keep in mind that Twitter doesn't directly offer photo hosting．You will need to use a third-party site like TwitPic （www．twitip．com） to upload your photos．Other sites，like TwitVid （tweetdeck．com/beta） can be used to post videos．
If you th ink the Twitter Web Site too complicated，try a Twiiter client-Tweetdeck（tweetdeck．Com/beta） and the Mac-only Tweetie（www．stebits．com）are popular，and both also are available as iPhone apps（應用程序）．
Even without an iphone，you can update you Twitter on the go．After adding your phone number to your Twitter account，you can text updates to 40404（check Twitter's Web site for numbers to use outside the United States）But no matter how you tweet，remember that people can see what you post，and Twitter might not be the best place to complain about your boss，even if you make your Twitter private，your followers may not share your sense of discretion．
Twitter is crowded with celebrith accounts．The famous，who once avoided the media in their private lives，are posting everything on Twitter for all the cyber world to see，gathering followers in the millions．Who's leading the celebrity pack？TwitterCounter（www．twittercounter．com），a site that tracks the most popular Twitter users，lists Ashton Kuntcher and former fashion model，as the nost popular Twitter-er with，as of our publication date，2，691，112followers．
Title：To tweet，or not to tweet？
