Not only do you burn more calories at that time，but it will make you energetic.(很多专家建议你早上锻炼。那个时候你不仅能消耗更多的卡路
17、里，还能更加精力充沛) ”可知，早上锻炼能让我们消耗更多卡路里，让我们更精力充沛，所以专家才建议早上锻炼，故选C。【2题详解】细节理解题。根据第一段中“Even though you have great determination in the beginning，you find it difficult to make daily exercise a habit. (即使你一开始就有很大的决心，但你发现很难养成每天锻炼的习惯)”可知，作者认为我们很难养成每天锻炼的习惯。故选B。【3题详解】细节理解题。根据B.Choose your exercise部分中“If doing the sa
18、me thing every day makes you bored，do something different. Change and make it fun!(如果每天做同样的事情让你感到无聊，那就做些不同的事情。改变，让它变得有趣！)”可知，如果我们厌烦了同样的运动，我们可以改变，去做一些其他的运动。故选D。BEveryone knows you must exercise regularly to keep good health. Indeed, staying physically fit is a big part of our culture. We consider (or
19、 rightly so) that healthy people are attractive people. Since most of us want to be attractive, there is no shortage of exercise clubs, training videos, magazines and books offering to help us stay physically fit.Unfortunately, however, our culture doesnt place the same emphasis on mental fitness. A
20、lthough we tend to like men and women with strong, healthy-looking bodies, we dont have the same degree of respect or attraction for smart, educated, mentally healthy people.

21、trained and flexible, you will be able to understand a great deal of what happens around you.

25、 make informed decisions, understand current events, choose good friends, manage your money well, make wise long-term decisions and appreciate music, art and literature.The key to developing such skills is to enjoy learning, and to have the ability and motivation to teach yourself.4.

30、ction for smart, educated, mentally healthy people. This is a pity, because there are great rewards for people who have developed the ability to think well.”（然而，不幸的是，我们的文化并没有把同样的重点放在精神健康上。尽管如此我们倾向于喜欢身体强壮、看起来健康的男人和女人，我们对聪明、受过教育、心理健康的人没有同等程度的尊重或吸引力。这是一个遗憾，因为对那些有良好思考能力的人来说，有很大的回报），可知我们的文化并没有把同样的重点放在精神健
31、康上，社会并不注重精神健康，与身体健康相比，聪明、受过教育、心理健康的人得不到同等程度的尊重或吸引，即精神健康的人不如身体健康的人受欢迎，作者认为这是一个遗憾。故选D项。【5题详解】词句猜测题。由第三段中的“And if you are also well educatedthat is, if you understand basic science, mathematics, music, art, literature, history and so onyou will find it much easier to make good decisions throughout your
32、 life. Over the long run, this leads to a sense of control over your destiny (命运) and a much better life than otherwise (in another way).”（如果你也受过良好的教育，也就是说，如果你了解基础科学、数学、音乐、艺术、文学、历史等等，你会发现在你的一生中做出好的决定要容易得多。从长远来看，“这”会让你对自己的命运有一种掌控感（从另一个角度来说），且生活会比其他方式好得多），可知this指代上文的“ make good decisions throughout yo
33、ur life”（在你的一生中做出正确的决定），是这种正确的决定让人们对生活有掌控感，且帮助人们拥有更好的生活。故选C项。【6题详解】推理判断题。由第四段中的“Such people live within a system they will never master, forced to follow rules they will never understand. Although it may not be obvious, most spend their lives being manipulated (控制) by others. They are told what to d
34、o, what to think, how to spend their money, and what they should and should not aspire (渴望) to in life.”（这些人生活在一个他们永远无法掌握的系统中，被迫遵循他们永远无法理解的规则。尽管这并不明显，但大多数人的一生都在被他人操纵。他们被告知该做什么，该想什么，如何花钱，以及他们在生活中应该和不应该追求什么），可知精神不健全的人生活在一个他们永远无法掌握的系统中，大多数人的一生都在被他人操纵，被别人告知自己该做些什么，可得出他们无法控制自己的生活，所以作者认为精神不健全的人是无法控制自己生活的人
35、。故选D项。【7题详解】主旨大意题。第一段讲“人们重视身体健康”，第二段讲“人们忽视精神健康的重要性，作者感到失望”，第三段讲“训练大脑和思维的好处”，第四段讲“精神不健全的人会遭遇的事”，最后两段讲“敦促读者去善用大脑、训练思维”，可知文章主要讲人们不仅要训练身体，还要训练大脑和思维，D项“训练你的思维”符合文意，最适合作文章标题。故选D项。CRobotic surgery is one thing, but sending a robot inside the body to carry out an operation is quite another, which has long b

37、nd submarine traveling through a scientists bloodstreamthis device could not be put into blood vessels because it is too big. While other types of miniature swallow able robots have been developed in the past, their role has mostly been limited to capturing images inside the body. In a presentation

39、igned a robot as a battery hunter, which might seem to be an odd task, but more than 3,500 people in America alone, most of them children, swallow the tiny button cells used in small electronic devices by accident every year. To start with, the researchers created an artificial esophagus (食道) and st
40、omach made out of silicone. It was closely modeled on that found in a pig and filled with medical liquid; the robot itself is made from several layers of different materials, including pig intestine (肠),and contains a little magnet.

After it, the researchers sent in another robot loaded with medication to deliver it to the site of the battery bum to speed up healing.The artificial stomach being transparent (透明的) on one side, the researchers can
43、see the batteries and visually control the robots. If not, that will require help with the help from imaging system, which will be a bit more of a challenge, but Dr. Rus and Dr. Miyashita are determined to succeed.8. According to the passage, the robot operation will probably be able to _.A. travel
44、through a scientists bloodstreamB. photograph the body to convey to the doctorC. enter the body to deliver drugs or make repairsD. operate on a person outside the body completely9. We learn from Paragraph 3 that _.A. the researchers did the experiment on a chosen animalB. the robot took necessary dr

47、. D 10. B 11. C【解析】【分析】本文是一篇说明文。文章主要讲述研究人员都在尝试创造一种微型机器设备，能够游走于人体内，在不切割身体表面的情况下传送药物或修补伤口，现在这种可能性更为接近现实。麻省理工学院的丹妮拉.鲁斯和宫下修平研制的机器人可以被吞咽，并可收集人们不慎摄入的有害异物。【8题详解】细节理解题。根据第一段“Robotic surgery is one thing, but sending a robot inside the body to carry out an operation is quite another, which has long been a go
48、al of some researchers to produce tiny robotic devices being capable of traveling through the body to deliver drugs or to make repairs without the need for a single cut, the possibility of which has just got a bit closer.” （机器人手术是一回事，但送机器人在体内进行手术是另一回事，这一直是一些研究人员的一个目标，即生产微型机器人设备，能将机器人植入体内传送药物或修补伤口，而不
49、需要一次切割，其可能性刚刚接近一点。）由此可知机器人手术是将机器人植入体内传送药物或修补伤口，故选C。【9题详解】推理判断题。根据第三段“This is folded up and wrapped in a 10mmx27mm capsule of ice. Once this reaches the stomach, the ice melts and the robot unfolds which is moved and guided with the 1se of a magnetic field outside the body.” （这是折叠和包裹在一个10毫米x27毫米的冰胶囊。
50、一旦冰到达胃部，冰就会融化，机器人就会展开，在体外磁场的引导下移动。）由此可知，机器人的尺寸要比冰胶囊大，故选D。【10题详解】推理判断题。根据第一段“which has long been a goal of some researchers to produce tiny robotic devices being capable of traveling through the body to deliver drugs or to make repairs without the need for a single cut” （这一直是一些研究人员的一个目标，即生产微型机器人设备，能将
51、机器人植入体内传送药物或修补伤口，）和第三段“In their tests, the robot was able to touch a button battery and draw it with its own magnet, and during dragging it along, the robot could then be directed towards the intestines where it would eventually be gotten rid of through the anus (肛门). After it, the researchers sent

54、送入体内捕获异物的微型机器人来说无异于是一次在人体内的神奇之旅。故选C。【点睛】标题猜测题。主旨大意题的一种，标题应位于文章之首，概括文章内容，点明文章主题。它可以是单词，短语，或句子。确定文章标题，第一，标题要与主题密切相关；其次，看标题是否能概括全文内容，不能只概括短文中的某些事实或细节；第三，标题范围不应太大或太小；最后，标题应新颖，概括性强并且精炼。小题4中 C选项概括文中主旨大意，与主题密切相关，故选C项。DHaving a great collection of books at home doesnt really mean that you are a person who h
