DUnsuccessful.解析:推理判断题。由倒数第二、三段可知,工作时间长、累得站着都能睡着、脚上起了水泡还得继续走路,这些都说明这次灭火任务比较艰巨。答案:CCCertain countries have tak
39、en strict action on smoking by completely banning it.However,people across the world still do not take it seriously.Around the world,about 10 million cigarettes are bought a minute,15 billion are sold each day,and over 5,000 billion are produced and used per year.If people out on the streets or in f
40、ront of supermarkets smoke openly,others passing by these smokers will breathe the smoke unwillingly,which can increase their risks of getting health problems unfortunately.In fact,one little cigarette contains about 7,000 chemicals,69 of which have been proven to cause cancers.Cigarette smoke witho
41、ut doubt does no good to humans.Worldwide tobacco (烟草) causes 6 million deaths per year,and that means there is one death every 5 seconds.Cigarettes are made from tobacco leaves.They originally take in all the carbon from the air as they grow.When you smoke them,youre just returning the carbon to th
42、e air.Thus,cigarettes increase the detrimental chemicals in the air that finally damage the quality of the air.To tell the truth,the air pollution caused by cigarettes is 10 times greater than that by cars.I have already made sure that smoking pollutes the air,but unfortunately,the damage to the env
43、ironment does not stop there.Its estimated that 1.69 billion pounds of cigarette butts (烟头) become rubbish each year.The rubbish can almost be found everywhere,which is the most ignored problem of the cigarettes.About 2 million of these cigarette butts are found in water,which results in the death o

46、alized the necessity of stop smoking.解析:推理判断题。根据第一段的“Certain countries have taken strict action on smoking by completely banning it.However,people across the world still do not take it seriously.”可知,作者在此段用数字论述主要是为了表明:很多人还没有意识到戒烟的必要性。答案:D29What does the second paragraph mainly talk about?AThe chemica

50、ny exercise.The truth is that fasting for weight loss is not safe for the body.In addition,the weight that is lost during a fasting period is often water weight which may be gained right back as soon as one returns to a normal diet.Supporters believe that it cleans the body,makes the weight lost qui
51、ckly,increases energy,and improves the appearance of skin.There are a number of different programs advertising fasting for weight loss;juice fasts are common,but there are a number of others that use ingredients such as honey,lemon or pepper,as the only source of nutrients (营养物) for a day or more.Ty
52、pically,true fasts where one is having nothing but liquids do not last more than three days.But fasts where participants may eat a small meal a day consisting of vegetables,fruits,or whole grains may last longer.However,many people attempt to use fasting for weight loss although there are some possi
53、ble dangers.First,fasting for weight loss causes an upsetstomach and diarrhea (腹泻)If left untreated,this canlead to dehydration(脱水),which has the possibility of causing death.It is important not to exercise when fasting,because the body does not have the energy to increase the heart rate to a higher
54、 level,which proves the belief that fasting increases energy is wrong.Blood sugar often drops when fasting as well.A fast that lasts for a long time can lead to a lack of vitamin.Fasting for weight loss is likely to cause rapid weight loss,but again,this weight is not lost in a healthy manner,and wi
55、ll generally just be gained right back after normal food is eaten again.If one is considering a fast program,it is better to first check with a healthcare professional to be sure it is relatively safe.Young people,the elderly and anyone with a health problem should avoid this method for its possible

57、的最后一句可知,支持通过禁食减肥的人认为,这种方法可以让他们更加有效的达到减肥的目的,可以让他们更加精力充沛,还可以净化身体器官。文中没有提到他们认为这种方法是更安全的。答案:C33According to the passage,true fasts for weight loss mean losing weight by _.Aeating a small meal a dayBhaving only liquidsCtaking no exerciseDtaking more nutrients解析: 细节理解题。根据第二段中的“true fasts where one is havi
58、ng nothing but liquids do not last more than three days.”可知,通过fasting(禁食)减肥的方法是只喝液体不吃其它食物。答案:B34. One should avoid exercising when fasting because _.Afasting causes an upset stomachBfasting makes the body short of energyCexercising leads to high heart rateDexercising causes low blood sugar解析: 推理判断题。
59、从第三段可知,禁食减肥应该避开运动锻炼,原因是运动锻炼会提高人的心率,而禁食减肥的人的身体里没有足够能量来保证实现这个目标,也就是说,禁食减肥并不能提高身体的能量,相反会导致身体能量的不足。答案:B35. What opinion does the writer hold in the passage?AFasting is suitable for the middleaged people.BExercising is a better way to lose weight.CDiet control for weight loss is safer.DFasting only has s
60、hortterm effect.解析: 推理判断题。从第一段中的“which may be gained right back as soon as one returns to a normal diet,”第二段中的“or whole grains may last longer”以及第四段中的“will generally just be gained right back after normal food is eaten again”可知,作者认为通过禁食减肥的方法只能在短时间内有效。答案:D第二节(共5小题;每小题2分,满分10分)根据短文内容,从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的

67、辑上的指代关系。本空中的it指代上文的providing water for your body,故可知答案。答案:B38解析:根据上文的“Hot water may increase body temperature and therefore increase the metabolic rate slightly.”可知,热水可能会增加体温,从而略微提高新陈代谢率。新陈代谢率增加会导致您的身体全天消耗更多卡路里。答案:G39解析:此空设于段首,是一个主题句。下文内容围绕着喝热水可以减少感染这一主题展开的。 答案:E40解析:此空设于段中,与上文存在解释关系。中医理论认为你应该喝与身体温度
