17、 to adopt three simple eating habits to help them get there, new research suggests. The study tracked nearly 60,000 people and discovered that how fast they ate and the timing of their evening meal and snacks appeared to be significant factors in whether they ended up obese or managed to lose weight
18、.Specifically, eating more slowly, avoiding snacks after dinner, and not eating within two hours before going to bed were all linked to weight loss.The researchers, who published their findings in the journal BMJ Open, said they set out to analyze “the effects of changes in lifestyle habits on chang
19、es in obesity.” They examined data on thousands of people with diabetes in Japan who submitted claims and had regular health checkups between 2008 and 2013, when measurements of their body mass index and waist circumference were taken. During the checkups, the patients also reported their lifestyle
20、habits, including their eating and sleeping patterns, as well as alcohol and tobacco use.Among other questions, the people were asked to report the speed at which they ate - categorized as fast, normal, or slow.At the start of the study, 22,070 people - nearly a third of the group - admitted they no
21、rmally gobbled down their food fast. More than 33,400 said they ate at “normal” speed. Only about 4,190 were self-professed slow eaters.After taking into account other potential factors, the researchers found that those who said they ate at normal speed were 29 percent less likely to be obese than t
22、hose who said they were fast eaters. The findings for slow eaters were even more striking: those who said they ate slowly were 42 percent less likely to be obese.People who said they dont usually snack after dinner and those who avoiding eating within two hours of bedtime also tended to see some wei
23、ght loss, the researchers found. Overall reductions in waist circumference were small, but they were greater among the slow and normal speed eaters in the study.Other habits the researchers looked at - including whether people ate or skipped breakfast, and how much sleep they got - did not appear to
24、 have a significant impact on weight.23. The underlined part “shrink their waistlines” in Paragraph 1 means_.A. put up weight B. lose weight C. keep fit D. train the waist24. According to the text, people who eat fast_A. probably increase more weight B. probably lose weight C. probably eat less D. p
25、robably eat more25. Which one is TRUE according to the passage?A. Normal speed eaters are the mostly likely to be become fat.B.

26、ople get doesnt influence peoples weight greatly.26. What can be a suitable title for the text?A. How fast people eat is linked to weight loss B. Three Habits linked to weight lossC. The cause of obesity D. How to lose weightCLearning any language is hard, but learning English can be especially chal
27、lenging. Why? Because native speakers use the language in ways that textbooks could never describe. In particular, words that British people use cause many language students to scratch their heads. Heres an example: You overhear a Briton calling someone a “wazzock”. But what exactly is a wazzock? Th
28、is word, in fact, means a foolish person, although theres nothing about it that would help you guess that. There are many strange terms like this in British English the Oxford English Dictionary would be much smaller without these peculiar (古怪的) usages filling its pages.v How can these odd words be
29、explained? Part of the answer is the British sense of humor. Britons dont like to take things too seriously, and this is evident through many British words and phrases. For example, to “spend a penny” means to use the bathroom. It refers to the days when people had to pay a penny to use a public toi
30、let. In an interview for the BBCs website, British linguist David Crystal suggested there may be historical reasons for the sheer number of odd words and phrases in British English. He thinks that they began in the late 16th and early 17th centuries. This was a great age for the theater, when Shakes
31、peare and other writers worked hard to keep up with the demand for new plays. The theaters popularity also created an incentive to invent new words. With this in mind, perhaps Shakespeare and his peers are to blame for unusual British words such as “codswallop” and “balderdash” which both, ironicall
32、y , mean “nonsense”. While these strange words may be confusing to non-native speakers, they certainly make studying English a lot more interesting.27.According to the text, why may non-native speakers find it hard to learn English?A. A great many strange words make no sense to them.B. Dictionaries
33、dont explain odd usages of many words.C. The English textbooks they study are usually out of date.D. They are unable to understand the humor in conversations.28.With the example of “spend a penny”, the author intends to _.A. explain the meaning and background of the phraseB. explain how some strange
34、 phrases were createdC. show what typical British sense of humor isD. show British peoples attitude toward strange words29.According to David Crystal, _.A. many of the words that Shakespeare invented were nonsenseB. Shakespeares works are boring because of the odd words involvedC. the theaters succe
35、ss in the 17th century inspired the birth of many odd wordsD. the odd words in Shakespeares plays contributed a lot to the theaters popularity30.What is the text mainly about?A. The development of British English.B. Shakespeares influence on British English.C. The origin and meanings of British humo
36、r.D. Some reasons for the large number of odd words in British English.D On a clear night, the sky is a wonderful thing. Is there life out there somewhere? Is there another place like Earth where life might exist? If so, where is it? And how far away is it?Recently, the American Kepler spacecraft fo
37、und “22b”, a planet about six hundred light years away. It is the first planet in a “habitable zone” outside the solar system. That means the planet orbits a star like our Sun, but it is not too close to it, nor too far away. Because of this position, scientists say Kepler-22b might have water, one
38、of the main things needed for life.The newly-discovered planet is about two and a half times larger than the Earth. It is closer to its star than we are to the Sun, but 22bs sun is smaller than ours, and doesnt produce as much heat. Scientific instruments show the new planet could be made of gases,
39、rocks or some kinds of liquids.The Kepler spacecraft was named in honor of Johannes Kepler, the seventeenth century German astronomer. It was designed to examine a small part of the Milky Way galaxy and search for places like the Earth. It was made to inspect over 150, 000 stars and measure how brig
40、ht they are. It looks to see if a stars brightness gets less over a short time.If a planet passes between Kepler and the star, it blocks out part of the light. That is what suggested to scientists that there is at least one planet orbiting the star. The instruments on Kepler show the new planet as a
41、 small, black dot moving across its sun. An important part of the Kepler experiment is on the Earth. After the spacecraft gathers information, scientists use the space telescopes on the ground.Scientists have found over 2,300 new planets since Kepler was launched. About 200 of these are about the si
42、ze of the Earth. Most are much larger, but it is the new planets distance from its star that is important. For life to possibly exist there, the planets temperature must not be too hot or too cold.31. The questions in Paragraph 1 serves to _.A. emphasize the importance of “Kepler-22b”B. state the pu
43、rpose of the whole passageC. introduce the topic “Kepler-22b”D. expect answers from the readers32. What can we learn about Kepler-22b?A. It is too close to a star like our Sun.B. It takes humans about 600 years to get there.C. It is made of gases, rocks and man kinds of liquids.D. Humans can probabl
44、y exist on it.33. The Kepler spacecraft was sent into space to _.A. show honor to Johannes KeplerB. look for Earth-like planets in the skyC. observe the changes of a stars brightnessD. measure the brightest star among 150,000 stars34. In Paragraph 5 the author mainly tells us _.A. how the Kepler sys
45、tem wordsB. if the Kepler system sees a new planetC. how the Kepler system uses the space telescopesD. why an important part of the Kepler system is on the Earth35. What can we infer from the passage?A. Life may exist on the new planet in another fom.B. It is colder on the new planet because its sun
46、 is smaller.C. Life cant exist on planets which are much larger than the Earth.D. The planets distance from its star decides whether life can survive.第二节 七选五（共 5 小题；每小题 2.5 分，满分 12.5 分）Whats in a logo?What attracts customers? (36) It is not only the image provided by the packaging that counts but th
47、e whole corporate identity (企业形象) of the company.There are now many products and services on the market which are similar in content though produced by different companies. It is important, therefore, for a company to distinguish itself from its competitors by having a strong company image which is
48、immediately recognizable.Logos are part of this image. (37) The logo establishes a visual identity for the company, just as different groups of young people express their identity through hairstyles and clothes. All groups from all cultures and throughout the ages have used colours and symbols to sh
49、ow their identity.(38) Some colours may be connected with coldness in one culture and with warmth in another; some colours represent life in one culture but death in another. International companies have, therefore, to make sure that their logos will not be misunderstood or misinterpreted in differe
50、nt countries.The logos of large international companies are instantly recognizable throughout the world. (39) The design of the words “Coca Cola” has not changed since 1886, although the surrounding design has been changed from time to time.Companies need to have a strong corporate identity. The log

Colour isnt a strictly visual element; its very psychological. C. In different cultures, different colours carry different meanings.D. Logos, therefore, need to be
52、 original and to have impact and style. E. There was a time when Coca Cola was struggling a bit with brand recognition.F. Obviously the quality of a product does, but visual images contribute a great deal.G. They are symbols which often include a name or the first letters of it to identify a company
