【正文】 0。D.impressive（4）Which of the following will serve as the best title of the passage? A.Young Brits Going VeganB.Veganism Comes FirstC.How to Start a Vegan LifestyleD.Veganism and the Environment【答案】（1）D（2）B（3）C（4）A 【解析】【分析】本文是一篇說(shuō)明文，研究表明，過(guò)去的十年里素食主義在英國(guó)增長(zhǎng)迅猛。這一增長(zhǎng)的主要力量是那些年齡在1534歲之間的年輕人。其原因可能是由于肉類加工排放的熱量大過(guò)世界上所有的汽車，火車和飛機(jī)的總和，他們認(rèn)為殺死動(dòng)物用作食物是不對(duì)，年輕人想要保護(hù)環(huán)境。另外社會(huì)媒體的參與也導(dǎo)致了年輕的素食者的增加。(1)考查細(xì)節(jié)理解。根據(jù)第二段中的“A study by a UK market research organization, suggests that over 542,000 Brits went vegan during the previous decade, an increase of 360%.”可知，英國(guó)市場(chǎng)研究表明，在過(guò)去的十年里，素食主義者的人數(shù)增長(zhǎng)了360%，增長(zhǎng)迅猛。”故選D。 (2)考查細(xì)節(jié)理解。根據(jù)第五段中的“Being vegan was an ethical (道德的) decision,”他們認(rèn)為素食是道德上的決定，及第六段可知，社交媒體也被認(rèn)為導(dǎo)致了素食主義的增加的原因之一，因而出現(xiàn)了一些所謂的素食名人來(lái)分享他們的生活方式，可知素食主義者的增加不是因?yàn)樗麄兿氤蔀榈赖旅?，而是分享素食主義讓他們成為“名人”，這不是素質(zhì)快速發(fā)展的原因，因此選B。(3)考查詞義猜測(cè)。根據(jù)第六段中的“ the popularity of veganism doesn39。t seem to be fading. ‘It feels more like this is something that is sticking.’”根據(jù)轉(zhuǎn)折連詞however 可知，前后兩句意義是相反的。前面說(shuō)“素食主義的流行似乎并沒(méi)有消退”，因此可推斷出后一句是反而會(huì)持續(xù)下去。故sticking意為”持續(xù)”，可知， lasting“持久的，持續(xù)的”符合題意，故選C。(4)考查主旨大意。通讀全文可知，本文主要講述過(guò)去的十年里素食主義在英國(guó)增長(zhǎng)迅猛。這一增長(zhǎng)的主要力量是那些年齡在1534歲之間。素食主義在英國(guó)的年輕人中非常流行的原因可能是年輕人想要保護(hù)環(huán)境，社會(huì)媒體的參與也導(dǎo)致了素食者的增加。故選A。【點(diǎn)評(píng)】本題考點(diǎn)涉及細(xì)節(jié)理解，詞義猜測(cè)和主旨大意三個(gè)題型的考查，是一篇社會(huì)現(xiàn)象類閱讀，要求考生在捕捉細(xì)節(jié)信息的基礎(chǔ)上，進(jìn)一步根據(jù)上下文的邏輯關(guān)系，進(jìn)行分析，推理，概括和歸納，從而選出正確答案。7．閱讀理解 If you39。re showering every day, you39。re probably over doing it. In fact, showering too often can actually hurt your body in the long run. As Time39。s public health column explains, daily showers are mon due to social norms more than any proper health need. We connect being freshly showered with being attractive and pleasing, so we tend to showering often to feel better. But what39。s the ideal shower frequency? In terms of your health — not how you look or smell — probably once or twice a week, assistant professor of dermatology at George Washington University, Dr. C. Brandon Mitchell says. “Your body is naturally a welloiled machine,” he says. “A daily shower isn39。t necessary.” Of course, your situation may vary. If you have a job like car maintenance or construction, you39。ll obviously have a visible layer of dirt you39。ll need to wash off every single day. Similarly, if you work out every day, you may not have any health risks by washing every day, but you39。ll still be smelly. If you feel like you need to take daily showers for aesthetic（審美的）reasons, at least make most of them light showers. “I tell patients who shower daily not to soap their whole bodies,” Mitchell says. Hit your pits, butt and groin, which are the areas that produce strong smells. The rest of your body doesn39。t need much soaping, he says. Too much time spent under the hot water can dry out your skin, cause cracks（裂紋）that can lead to infections or germs getting into your skin, and take away the natural oils on your skin that help keep it healthy. So, even if you39。re aiming to be your most presentable, be sure to keep it moderate to avoid hurting your skin in the long run.（1）According to the passage, why do most people shower daily?

I enjoyed the feeling that es from watching snow fall gently from heaven while I39。m cosy inside with a good fire burning in the stove. But there were more serious concerns, like the lack of rainfall making our woods more accessible to summer forest fires. Local ski fields and hotels, all dependent on a snowy season, felt sorry for the vacant lifts, empty restaurants and unused snowmobiles. Then I happened to see three little robins (知更鳥) fly into our yard. What were they doing here? West of us, in the Willamette Valley, wild flowers burst this time of year. But here in central Oregon, even
