3. China is going green. In order to reduce air pollution and oil-shortages, automobile manufacturers have announced their plans to develop hybrid vehicles (混合燃料汽车) for the Chinese market. Toyota’s hybrid car Prius will be ready to drive in China this week. Let’s have a look at the new car.

Any vehicle is a hybrid when it combines two or more sources of power. Hybrid cars run off a rechargeable battery and gasoline. Hybrid cars have special engines, which are smaller than traditional gasoline engines. They run at 99 percent of their power when the car is cruising (匀速行驶). A specially designed battery motor provides extra power for running up hills or when extra acceleration is needed.

Step into a Prius, and turn on the engine. The first thing you notice is how much quieter it is than a traditional car. At this point, the car’s gasoline engine is dormant (休眠). The electric motor will provide power until the car reaches about 24 km/h. If you stay at a low

1 / 13

speed, you are effectively driving an electric car, with no gasoline being used, and no waste gas gives off.

The onboard (车载的) computer makes the decision about when to use a gas engine, when to go electric, and when to use a combination of the two. If you go over 24 km/h, when you step on the gas pedal (油门), you are actually telling the computer how fast you want to go.

The electronic motor recharges automatically using a set of batteries. When driving at high speed, the gasoline engine not only powers the car, but also charges the batteries. Any time you use the brake, the electric motor in the wheels will work like a generator and produce electricity to recharge the batteries. As a consequence, the car’s batteries will last for around 200,000 miles.

54. The author writes this passage mainly to . A. teach people how to drive a hybrid car B. introduce a new kind of “green” car

C. show how to save their gasoline when driving a car D. announce plans to develop hybrid vehicles for China 55. The first sentence probably refers to . A. there will be more and more green land in China B. China is still young and lacking experience

17. What Is Emotional Eating?

Emotional eating is when people use food as a way to deal with feelings instead of satisfying hunger.______36______Have you ever finished a whole bag of chips out of boredom or downed cookie after cookie while preparing for a big test? But when done a lot — especially without realizing it — emotional eating can affect weight, health, and overall well-being.

Not many of us make the connection between eating and our feelings.

___37___One of the biggest myths about emotional eating is that it’s caused by negative feelings. Yes, people often turn to food when they’re stressed out, lonely, sad, anxious, or bored. But emotional eating can be linked to positive feelings too, like the romance of sharing dessert on Valentine’s Day or the celebration of a holiday feast. Sometimes emotional eating is tied to major life events, like a death or a divorce. ___38___ Emotional eating patterns can be learned: A child who is given candy after a big achievement may grow up using candy as a reward for a job well done. _____39_____It’s not easy to “unlearn” patterns of emotional eating. But it is possible. And it starts with an awareness of what’s going on.

We’re all emotional eaters to a degree. But for some people emotional eating can be a real

6 / 13

problem, causing serious weight gain or other problems. The trouble with emotional eating is that once the pleasure of eating is gone, the feelings that cause it remain. _____40_____That’s why it helps to know the difference between physical hunger and emotional hunger.

Next time you reach for a snack, wait and think about which type of hunger is driving it. A. Believe it or not, we’ve all been there.

B. If a crying boy gets some cookies, he may link cookies with comfort.

C. One study found that people who eat food like pizza become happy afterwards. D. And you often may feel worse about eating the amount or type of food you like. E. Understanding what drives emotional eating can help people take steps to change it.

F. Boys seem to prefer hot, homemade comfort meals, while girls go for chocolate and ice cream. G. More often, though, it’s the countless little daily stresses that cause someone to seek comfort in food.

参考答案：

36. A 37. E 38. G 39. B 40. D

本文是说明文，讲述了情绪化进食就是“借吃消愁”，多数是由消极的情绪导致的。不管怎样，情绪化进食是有一定的危害的。 36. A

考查对上下文的理解与推理判断能力。根据上句Emotional eating is when people use food as a way to deal with feelings instead of satisfying hunger．可知情绪化进食是人们用食物来处理感情而不是满足饥饿的方式．A项：Believe it or not，we've all been there．信不信由你，我们都曾这样过．符合文意．故选A． 37. E

考查对上下文的理解与推理判断能力。根据上句Not many of us make the connection between eating and our feelings．可知我们中没有多少人把饮食和感情联系在一起；根据后句One of the biggest myths about emotional eating is that it's caused by negative feelings．可知情绪饮食最大的误解是它是由负面情绪引起的．E项：Understanding what drives emotional eating can help people take steps to change it．了解驱使情绪进食的因素可以帮助人们采取措施改变情绪．符合文意．故选E． 38. G

考查对上下文的理解与推理判断能力。转折，空前说major life events，G 选项中用though 进行转折，little daily stresses 与其对应．

7 / 13

联系上文题．根据上句Sometimes emotional eating is tied to major life events，like a death or a divorce．可知有时情绪化的饮食与重大的生活事件有关，比如死亡或离婚．G项：More often，though，it's the countless little daily stresses that cause someone to seek comfort in food．然而，更多的时候，每天都有无数的压力促使人们去寻求食物的安慰．符合文意．故选G． 39. B

考查对上下文的理解与推理判断能力。本段用小孩子的举例，前一句说如果小时候孩子被用糖果奖赏，长大就容易保持这样的习惯，B 相应地说如果孩子在哭的时候得到饼干作为安慰，那就会把饼干和安慰联系在一起．故B项符合题意。 40. D

考查对上下文的理解与推理判断能力。本段讲这样做的危害，D 选项也是讲危害．后面的that's why 支撑了这D 选项的观点．

上句“The trouble with emotional eating is that once the pleasure of eating is gone, the feelings that cause it remain.”情绪化进食的麻烦是一旦没有了吃的乐趣，但想吃东西的感觉还在。这样的话，你经常会因为吃了你喜欢的食物而感到不舒服。因此D项：And you often may feel worse about eating the amount or type of food you like．符合文意．故选D．

【点评】对于此类题型的解答，可以将整个文段首先浏览一遍，大概理解意思．答题过程中，根据所提供的答语或是后文进行作答，同时，做题过程中也可以使用排除法，将选项带到文章中逐一的作答，答完后注意通读检查是否符合逻辑，语义顺畅．

18. 根据短文内容，从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。

Space travel is definitely bad for astronauts’ bones, reducing their bone density(密度) after only a month of weightlessness, according to French research published on Friday.

Laurence Vico and his fellow workers at St Etienne University called for more research into the effects of microgravity, after their study of 15 astronauts from the Russian MIR station showed bone loss continued throughout space flights.

9 / 13

“Bone loss was especially striking in four astronauts, ” the scientists reported in the Lancet Medical Journal.

They measured the bone mineral density (BMD) of bones in the

forearm(前臂) and lower leg of the astronauts who had spent one to six months in space.

The BMD loss was significant in the tibia(胫骨) of the lower leg, a weight-bearing bone, but barely changed in the radius(桡骨) of the forearm. “Our results indicate the need to investigate not only

different bones, but also different areas of the same bone since not all sites of the skeleton (骨架) are similarly affected by space conditions, ” they added.

Without gravity the body isn’t bearing any weight so there is no need for calcium (钙) which makes bones strong, and it becomes empty into the bloodstream.

The research team suggested in future scientists should try to determine if the loss of bone density was only on weight-bearing bones on longer flights, also the possible recovery after returning to Earth. 46. French scientists did their research on Russian astronauts, because _______.

A. they only cared for the Russian astronauts B. they were not interested in their own astronauts

C. the Russian government invited them to do their research D. the Russian astronauts worked in space for a long time

10 / 13

47. Scientists have found that _______.

A. the BMD loss may cause serious illness to astronauts B. the BMD loss may cause some change in astronauts’ bodies C. astronauts shouldn’t care about the BMD loss

D. astronauts should take some calcium before space travel

48. What cause the BMD loss to astronauts, according to this passage? A. The food they eat in space. B. The drinks they take in space.

C. The temperature in space. D. The gravity in space.

49. In the third paragraph, the word “striking” means ______. A. unusual B. simple C. weak D. slow 参考答案： 46-49 DBDA 略

20. When I was three years old, my parents discovered I was totally deaf. But instead of sending me to a school for the deaf, they decided to “mainstream” me. All of my peers and teachers world have normal hearing.

I was the only deaf child at Blue Creel Elementary School. From almost the first day there, the other kids made fun of me mainly because of my hearing aid and the way I talked. And I also had difficulty with most of my school work.

11 / 13

When the other kids made fun of me, I was sure that I was a bad person. I saw myself as a boy who wasn’t smart enough to keep up with the class.

Mrs. Jordan, my 5th grade teacher, changed all of that with a simple three-word phrase. One morning, she asked the class a question. I read her lips from my front-row seat and immediately raised my hand because I was sure I had the right answer. But when she called on me, I was afraid. Here was an opportunity to impress the powerful teacher and show her I was worthy of her love. Maybe even impress my classmates a little. I didn’t want to blow it. despite my fears, I took a deep breath and answered Mrs. Jordan’s question.

I will never forget what happened next. Mrs. Jordan enthusiastically slammed （跺动）her right foot on the floor and turned her tight hand around in full circle until it pointed directly at me. With sparking eyes and a wide smile she cried, “THAT’S RIGHT STEPHEN!”

For the first time in my young life, I was a star. I sat a little taller in my chair. From that day forward, my grades and speech improved greatly. My popularity among my peers increased. It was all because Mrs. Jordan believed in me and wasn’t afraid to express it. “THAT’S RIGHT STEPHEN!”

36．What does the underlined word “mainstream”(in Para 1) mean? A．Encourage a disabled child to live a normal life. B．Include a disabled child in an ordinary class. C．Treat a disabled child with respect. D．Teach a disabled child at home.

37．It can be inferred that when entering Blue Creek Elementary School, the writer . A．was not clever B．could not focus on his study C．lacked confidence D．got along well with other kids 38．When the writer answered Mrs. Jordan’s question, he . A．trembled with fear B．stayed calm C．was nervous D．was excited 39．From his experience, the writer may conclude that . 12 / 13

A．the right words could change someone’s life B．each of us has the courage to be great C．all great heroes made mistakes D．each day is a lucky day 参考答案：
