8、sD.doctors评卷人得分二、阅读理解Who does the cooking in your home? Im often asked by my colleagues. My wife and I share it 50/50, I usually say without hesitation.Its a lie, of course. Were pretty much even(相等的) when it comes to the children and the elderly. But the paying of bills isnt 50/50 my wife pays all
9、sorts of household expenses, so I never even have to set eyes on them. And the cooking isnt 50/50, either.The truth is that I am the cook. On my recent 40th birthday, I received the following gifts from my children: a new pot, two mini bottles of truffle oil, a decorative salad-dressing pourer, and
10、a juice-making machine. For a moment I longed for something more mainly, a cricket bat, perhaps, and then had to admit that all these things would be useful for me.Its not that my wife cant or doesnt like to cook (she makes delicious Welsh cakes). Nor has it always been this way. In the early years
11、of our marriage Id be relaxing with a glass of wine while my wife prepared for dinner after work.But at some point that changed and I became the cook. Ten years with my wife gave me the rewards I can throw together a roast, and I can make much foreign food. But I have truly become a monster(怪物) in t
12、he kitchen, unable to keep myself away from cooking. You have to add Dijon to the sauce; it brings out the taste of the cheese, I volunteer, as my wife is cooking.

17、me Im the only child in my family. Id go to bed early for a class beginning at 8:00 am and my roommate would turn on the lights, leave the door open and invite friends over after Id be trying to sleep. After a month, I changed the room.Over four years I managed to have six roommates in total. The on
18、e that was my least favorite was my old friend. This is common. Friends think that because they get along so well, sharing a room or an apartment should be OK. But the fact that they dont share a room or an apartment is part of the reason why they get along so well. That separation of space, at the
19、end of the day, can be the friendship saver.Living with friends can often hinder you from meeting new people. It means graduating from college with the same friends you went in with. Some people I knew when I was in college all went to the same high school and all of them lived together in college.
20、By the time we graduated, they were still living together and had not really made any new friends.More often than not, Ive seen friendships end by the decision to become roommates.

24、Plans for high school life.D.Apartment information.Last week, a study showed that people around the world are getting fatter. The study found that obesity had almost doubled since 1980. Majid Ezzati at Imperial College London led the research team. He says the results show that obesity, high blood p
25、ressure and high cholesterol(胆固醇) are no longer just found in wealthy nations. These are now worldwide problems.The study shows that in 2008, almost ten percent of men were obese. That was up from about five percent in 1980. That same year, almost eight percent of women were obese. By 2008, the rate
26、 of obesity among women was almost fourteen percent.Obesity is commonly measured by the body mass index, or BMI. This is a measure of a persons weight in relation to height. A person with a BMI of eighteen point five to twenty-four point nine is considered to have a normal weight, and a BMI of twent
27、y-five to twenty-nine is considered overweight. Pacific island nations such as the Philippines have an average BMI of around thirty-five the highest in the world. But the study found that the United States had the single highest average among wealthy countries. Men and women had an average BMI of ov
28、er twenty-eight. New Zealand was next. Japan had the lowest, at about twenty-two for women and twenty-four for men.The report had some good news, however, about high blood pressure. The percentage of people with this major cause of heart attacks and strokes has fallen since 1980. Dr. Ezzati credits
29、that to the improved testing and treatment in wealthy countries. He says a decrease in the use of salt and unhealthful fats probably also helped.In the United States, new guidelines urge Americans to reduce salt, sugar and fatty meats and to eat more fish and whole grains. People are being urged to
30、choose water instead of sugared drinks and to make fruits and vegetables half of a meal. But whatever they eat, Americans are being urged to follow new advice from the government: eat less.26What is the main idea of this passage?A.Obesity leads to many health problems.B.Obesity has become a worldwid

34、duce a childs chance of becoming short-sighted by two percent. Children who are short-sighted spend an average of 3.7 fewer hours a week outside compared with those who have normal vision, a study has found.Short-sightedness runs in families and has also been linked to a host of factors. They includ
35、e the amount of time spent focusing on near objects and levels of physical activity. But simply spending time out of the house may be enough to protect the eyesight. Being outdoors can reduce the amount of time that children spend in reading or playing computer games, researchers said.Between 15 and
36、 20 percent of British people are short-sighted, but the problem is much more serious in parts of East Asia. There, as much as 80 percent of the population is short-sighted. One study compared children living in different countries. It found that those in Australia had better vision on average than
37、people of the same age in China and Singapore. The Australian group read and achieved as much as those in other countries, but they were found to spend more time outdoors.Dr Sherwin, one of the researchers who did the study, said the benefit from being outdoors could be linked to increased UV radiat
38、ion (紫外线辐射). Short-sightedness is caused by having longer eyes and some studies have shown that some chemicals affected by UV rays may control the length of the eye. A lack of sunlight could make such chemicals grow too much, he explained.He said, It could be caused by not enough UV radiation, and i
39、t could also be caused by spending less time looking into the distance or not enough physical activity.31What is the main idea of the passage?A.Childrens short-sightedness can be cured.B.There are several causes of childrens short-sightedness.C.Spending more time outdoors can lead to better eyesight
40、.D.Children who spend more time outdoors are much healthier.32What does the underlined word They in Paragraph 2 refer to?A.Near objects.B.Levels of physical activity.C.Families which have short-sightedness.D.Some factors linked to short-sightedness.33According to Paragraph 3, in the study children i

Beneath keeping pets, there lies a basic American belief: Pets have a right to be treated well. In Houston, Texas, dogs can have their dinner 39(deliver) to their homes, just like p
