A.C.AcceptingHouseholds with low takeup of chocolate, crisps, popcorn, and savoury snacks.(2)What does the underlined word shunning in Paragraph 4 mean? A.People who prefer buy one, get one free deals on unhealthy foods.C.t one magic fix for the problem, but getting rid of these encouragements to buy unhealthy food is key to changing it.(1)Who are far more likely to be obese? A.s proposed 9 p. m. ban on junk food ads is a step forward in fighting childhood obesity. Now we want to see restrictions on price promotions for unhealthy food and drink items, as well as those strategically placed at checkouts. This will help families to make healthier choices. Research has found that obesity increases the risk of 13 different types of cancer including bowel and breast disease. The study follows a government consultation on proposals to ban buy one, get one free deals on unhealthy foods and supermarket guilt lanes as part of its childhood obesity strategy. The study of more than 16,000 households found almost one in three food and drink items in UK supermarket baskets were bought on promotion. And the discounts were far more likely to be applied to unhealthy foods, with almost half of all chocolate, crisps, popcorn, and savoury snacks bought on promotion. Supermarket shoppers who buy lots of foods on two for one deals are far more likely to be obese (肥胖的), a major study suggests.7.閱讀下列短文,從所給的四個選項(A、B、C、D)中選出最佳選項。故選B。因此一些研究人員決定弄清楚”;文章第四段再次介紹了他們的研究發(fā)現(xiàn):城市里的樹木比森林中的樹木長得更快,但死得更早;文章最后一段介紹了城市里的樹木比森林中的樹木生長得更快的幾個原因。 (4)考查推理判斷。由此可以推斷,城市里的樹木比森林中的樹木更可能獲得生長促進(jìn)劑。根據(jù)最后一段中的“Street trees also benefit from higher levels of nitrogen (氮)in rainwater. Nitrogen helps plants grow. Waste gases from gasburning cars also contain nitrogen, thus enriching city air with nitrogen. Later, rainwater may wash much of it to the ground.”可知,與生長在森林中的樹木相比,城市里的樹木長得更快是因為它們無需與鄰近的樹木爭奪光照,也能得到更多的氮量,還更容易得到水。故選A。 (2)考查細(xì)節(jié)理解??梢酝茢?,二氧化碳可以防止地球變得不適合居住。 (1)考查推理判斷。Why fastergrowing trees absorb more C02.【答案】 (1)D(2)A(3)A(4)B 【解析】【分析】本文是一篇說明文。Why city living makes trees die young.C.How urban trees can live longer.They can enjoy more shade from neighbors.D.They are more likely to access growth promoters.B.D.To check whether they were healthy.B.To know about their growth rates.It results from the widespread burning of fossil fuels.D.It is one of the side effects of greenhouses.B. tracking, the researchers found city trees absorbed four times as much carbon from the air as forest trees. However, they were twice as likely to die. So over the lifetime of each type of tree, forest trees actually absorbed more CO2.s diameter increases as it grows, just as a person39。 t been much data on whether city trees grow, die and absorb CO2 at the same rate as forest trees do. So some researchers decided to find out. As we all know, the earth would be freezing or burning hot without CO2. However, CO2 is a greenhouse gas, meaning it traps energy from the sun as/heat. That makes temperatures near the ground rise. Human activities, especially the widespread burningof fossil(化石)fuels, have been sending extra greenhouse gases into the air. This has led to a rise in average temperatures across the globe. 6.閱讀理解 故選D。最重要的是學(xué)習(xí)人性,了解真實的人是如何行為和反應(yīng)的,以及人們希望他們?nèi)绾涡袨楹头磻?yīng)的。根據(jù)最后一段中的“Leaning to be wise is basically learning what is not possible;and what is possible but so difficult that it is not worth all the trouble one has to go through to get there. Mostly, it is learning about human nature;how real people behave and react, as against how one would like them to behave and react. One can read and hear lot of idealistic stuff about how to make the world a better place, which would be found if it was based on an accurate observation of human nature,”成為智者,要大體上知道什么是不可能的。故選D。最重要的是了解人性,了解真實的人是如何行為和反應(yīng)的,以及人們希望他們?nèi)绾涡袨楹头磻?yīng)的。根據(jù)第三段中的“Besides sharpness of brain and experience, here is another thing that is very important, and that is wisdom.... Leaning to be wise is basically learning what is not possible; and what is possible but so difficult that it is not worth all the trouble one has to go through to get there. Mostly, it is learning about human nature;how real people behave and react, as against how one would like them to behave and react.”除了敏銳的頭腦和豐富的經(jīng)驗外,還有一件事是非常重要的,那就是智慧。故選A。根據(jù)第二段“But in certain other types of activity (of which being an author is perhaps one), experience is more important than sharpness of brain, and there one usually finds that a person reaches his or her peak much later in life.”但在某些其他類型的活動中(作家可能是其中一種),經(jīng)驗比頭腦的敏捷更重要,人們通常會發(fā)現(xiàn)一個人在他一生的晚期才達(dá)到頂峰。根據(jù)對愛因斯坦所的發(fā)現(xiàn)可知,他的偉大的發(fā)現(xiàn)是在2025歲之間,更是印證了人類大腦在20年代初達(dá)到了巔峰,可推斷出,本段主要研究人類大腦巔峰期,故選B。愛因斯坦在20到25歲之間做出了所有震驚世界的發(fā)現(xiàn)。根據(jù)第一段“It has been discovered that after the age of sixteen, the number of our brain cells begins to decrease at a speed of several million a year. They simply die off. In certain types of activity, the human brain is at its highest point in the early twenties, ... and we know that Albert Einstein made all his worldshaking discoveries between the age of about 20 and 25, and spent the rest of his life tidying them up and arranging them.” 人們發(fā)現(xiàn),16歲以
