18、aid following recent reports about a ripener used in several provinces.“There is no problem with using ethephon (乙烯磷) to ripen fruit. This plant growth regulator is completely the same as hormones produced by plants themselves when they get ripe，” Luo Yunbo, dean of the College of Food Science and N
19、utritional Engineering under China Agricultural University and an expert of plant physiology, told China Daily on Monday. “The chemical is safe enough that there is even no need for detection, for it has been used worldwide for decades，” Luo said.The national standard for the amount of residue (残留)
20、of the chemical is two milligrams in every kilogram of fruit, and experts said the actual dosageis far below that level, as overuse benefits neither farmers nor their fruit.“Overdose may make fruit ripen too rapidly and even rot, and will scorch the skin of fruit, which will harm sales for vendors，”
21、 Luo said.China learned the use of the hormone from the United States and Japan, which is a pioneer in research and use of plant growth accelerators and regulators. Ethephon, an organic compound, is an agricultural plant growth stimulant that is sprayed on 70 or 80 percent ripe fruit after they have
22、 been picked. It gives off ethylene to facilitate ripening.Some fruit, such as bananas, will rot instead of ripen without such a ripener, according to experts.“The traditional way to ripen bananas is to put them together with mature apples, which can release ethephon to help bananas ripen, or ripen
23、them by fuming with joss sticks. But these two ways may give bananas uneven color when they turn yellow, and the fruit will never have achieved mass production，” Luo said.People interviewed by China Daily said it is easy to stir panic about additives or growth accelerators, as food safety is a major

26、t development in agriculture.BTo tell us the experts attitude to the use of the fruit ripener.CTo share his knowledge about how to use the fruit ripener.DTo warn us of the harm of the fruit ripener.【答案与解析】本文主要向读者说明水果催熟剂对人的健康没有危害。9B词义猜测题。根据第三段中的“the amount of residue (残留) of the chemical”及画线词所在句可知，do
27、sage指的是“剂量、用量”。10D细节理解题。根据第二段第二句话可知A项错误，根据第四段可知B项错误，根据第五段第二句话可知C项错误，根据第五段第一句话可知D项正确，故选D。11B写作意图题。纵观全文可知作者想告诉读者，专家们认为水果催熟剂对人的健康没有危害，故选B。DA warm drink of milk before bed has long been the best choice for those wanting a good nights sleep.But now a study has found it really does help people nod offif i

34、al data.DBy providing research results.【答案与解析】本文是一篇议论文。长期以来，人们认为睡觉前喝一杯热牛奶有助于睡眠，但研究表明，只有喝晚上挤的牛奶才真正有助于睡眠。这到底是什么原因呢？快来读文章吧！12B细节理解题。由第四段中的信息“Those given night milkwere less active and less anxious than those fed with the milk collected during daytime”可知，老鼠喝了白天挤的牛奶会更有活力，也更焦虑，故选B项。13D推理判断题。文章中提到晚上挤的牛奶的褪黑
35、激素含量是白天挤的牛奶的10倍，并不是说研究人员在老鼠身上测试了10次，所以A项错误；由第二段中的信息help people feel sleepy and reduce anxiety.可知，褪黑激素不可能使人更加精力充沛，故排除B项；由第二段中的信息“night milkcontains more melatonin”可知，并不是所有的牛奶中都含有大量的褪黑激素，故排除C项；由第六段中的信息“taking melatonin drugs has been suggested to those who are struggling to fall asleep at night”可知，褪黑激
36、素被用于安眠药中，故D项正确。14A标题归纳题。作者在第一段就点明了文章要论述的对象晚上挤的牛奶。在接下来的几段中，作者通过研究人员在老鼠身上做的实验论证了晚上挤出的牛奶与睡眠的关系，所以最适合做文章标题的是A项。15D推理判断题。文章的第二五段都是讲研究人员的实验及其结果，所以作者是用研究人员的研究结果来支持论点的。.七选五阅读(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最佳选项，选项中有两项为多余选项。Your children are watching you._16_According to the Health Program，developi

42、讲述父母对孩子习惯养成的影响。父母要注意自身行为的重要性，在孩子面前主动培养良好的习惯，并保持积极的态度，还要尽量在孩子小时候开始培养好的习惯，这会使孩子们终身受益。16E第一段主要讲父母对孩子养成的影响。由“Your children are watching you.”可知，孩子关注着父母的行动，因此父母怎么做很重要。故E选项正确。17G根据“What happens during those early years can influence children for the rest of their lives.”可知，此处讲述小时候的习惯影响深远，因此要注意对孩子早期的教育。故G选
43、项正确。18C由下一句“If you do that，your children are more likely to be enthusiastic about developing theirs.”可知，此处强调父母养成健康的习惯的积极性对孩子有很大影响，因此父母需要对养成良好的习惯保持积极的态度。故C选项正确。19F第三段主要讲父母要引导孩子养成健康的饮食习惯，并且告诉他们要有健康的习惯要有适合的时期和时间，因此这对教导孩子养成良好的饮食习惯有帮助。故F选项正确。20A第四段主要讲述现代社会科技的普及以及对人们的重大影响，由“ So as parents，you should also
44、arrange the time for your children wisely.”可知，在利用科技的同时，也要注意使用的方法。故A选项正确。.完形填空(共20小题；每小题1.5分，满分30分)阅读下面短文，从短文后各题所给的A、B、C和D四个选项中，选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。Eating less may bring longer life？A study by the National Institutes of Health _21_that reducing calories by 30 percent _22_to help to slow the rate of aging

51、study has shown that a”可知，show“表明”符合上下文语境。remark评论；believe相信；cause促使，导致。22Bappear to do sth.“似乎做某事”。其他选项不符合上下文逻辑关系。23B这项研究的结果为“少吃，人可能长寿”，提供了“新”的依据。24A根据常识可知是人的“均衡的”饮食。25C卡路里的减少导致动物有个较低的低温。根据常识可知是“拥有”更低的体温，而不是“生产、给出、改变”。26B新陈代谢慢，衰老生理变化“更少”，符合语境。27A在“全美抗衰老协会”从事研究的人当然是“科学家”。28D对老鼠进行的实验“也”可运用于猴子。29B对于后面
52、的情况我们“知道、了解”。其他选项不符合上下文的逻辑关系。30A根据前后的逻辑关系可知，应用if表示条件。31A根据上下文可知，这个实验是证明“吃得少，长得慢，活得长”的关系的，所以正确答案是A项。上文的“live longer”为重要依据。32C少吃东西，老鼠可以活得更久，不“常”得病。frequently频繁地；carefully小心地；obviously明显地；definitely清楚地，明确地。33B猴子的反应也是以同样的“方式”，所以用in the same way。34A同样的生理变化也可能发生在猴子身上。take place发生，举行；work out算出；pick up拾起，搭
53、载；cut down削减。35C“其他的”生化检测也表明少吃对猴子是“健康的”。36A根据上文对研究的表述可看出，“少吃”对猴子是“健康的”。其他选项不符合上下文逻辑关系。37D这项研究涉及200只猴子，所以应该是在“继续”。38A猴子的食物包含所有“所需的”维生素，其他选项不符合上下文逻辑关系。require需要；refer涉及，谈到，查阅。39C句中的两个宾语从句是转折关系，所以用but连接。40B因为是做实验，有一组猴子在食量方面是受到“控制”的。.语法填空(共10小题；每小题1分，满分10分)阅读下面短文，在空白处填入1个适当的单词或括号内单词的正确形式。Diet and way of

58、your body”，故填it。43from 固定搭配：protectfrom，保护免遭，故填from。44A根据句意可知是：许多人们。a number of是固定短语，故填A。注意大写开头。45believing 介词后面用动名词作宾语，故填believing。46on 此处something是先行词，在后面的定语从句中作宾语，根据固定搭配depend on可知此处填on。47beneficial 固定搭配：be beneficial to对是有益的，故填beneficial。48strength 句意：增加你肌肉的力量。根据句意可知此处用名词形式，故填strength。49relaxed
59、句意：使你感到放松。故填relaxed。50and 固定句式：祈使句and/or表示将来的陈述句。根据句意可知此处填and。.写作(共两节，满分40分)第一节应用文写作(满分15分)假定你是李华，你在网上看到美国高中生Linda 正在寻找一位爱好京剧的笔友。请你给她写一封邮件介绍自己的情况，并表达想成为她的笔友的意愿。内容包括：1. 自己以及家人都喜欢京剧；2.可以帮她了解京剧的更多情况。注意：1.词数80左右；2.可以适当增加细节，以使行文连贯。One possible version：Dear Linda， How nice to see your post on the Internet
