29、res in Hall 1 will be given by university students. BWeve all seen them: perfectly toned famous people on late-night television telling us that we too can develop rock-hard abdominal muscles (腹肌). Its easy! Just pay $149.99 for the Torso Track or $149.75 for the Ad-Doer and watch those unwanted inch
30、es leave your waist. Americans spend tens of million of dollars on various products to firm up their fat around the waist.And did they work? Not necessarily. Independent studies have concluded that most of these products-no matter who approved them or how expensive they are-shape your midsection no
31、better than old-fashioned stomach crunches(仰卧起坐). Some can even cause injury-like the $518.99 Body Shaper-Q8SP, which left electrical burns on some researchers at the University of Wisconsin, La Crosse. Others, like the popular Ab-Doer, typically burn less energy than a gentle walk, according to a s
32、tudy to be published in September by the American Council on Exercise.The fact is that many Americans dont have the biological makeup to develop an obvious abdominal muscles. They are either unable to get the necessary muscle mass or they cant lose enough fat to make a difference. Even if the underl
33、ying muscles are well developed, and it takes to hide it is one-sixteenth of tan inch of fat. Thats enough to dismiss most healthy women as well as plenty of guys who do crunches every day.So what works best? In its new study, the exercise experts researched on the results of the popular Ab-Doer. A
34、lengthy TV advertisement promises that just 10 minutes a day performing such movements as “Body Boogies” and “Good Mornings” will “help form those muscles the fun and easy way without diets.” Steven Loy, professor at California State University, Northridge, tested the promise by measuring the electr
35、ical activity produced by the abdominal muscles during three Ab-Doer movements. He and his colleagues then compared the results with those produced during traditional exercises. They determined that the muscles were no more active, and in some cases less so, when exercisers were using the Ab-Doer.Ta
36、king a broader approach, researchers at San Diego State University compared 13 abdominal exercises for their ability to develop the central abdominal muscles. They concluded, in a report published in May, that the most effective exercises kept turning the body and worked the muscles the entire time.
37、 Among the winners: the bicycle movements-so called because it looks as if you are riding a bike while lying flat on the floor-and exercises performed on the “Captains Chair”, a product typically found in gyms that helps hold the body in the air while you raise your legs up toward your chest. Resear
38、chers suggested that a varied routine of the different exercises could deliver the best results.60According to the author, its difficult for many Americans to get visible firm abdominal muscles mainly because .Athey do not put in enough effortsBinjuries interrupt their exercise frequentlyCthey chang
39、e their exercise routine regularlyDhow big their muscles will be is determined by birth61The author convinces the readers by .Adescribing successful easesBoffering professional connectsCpresenting findings of researchesDcomparing advertisements of products62Whats the main purpose of this passage? _A
40、To research and develop in order to create the perfect stomach and exercise machine.BTo promote proven exercise techniques and to advise against false advertisements.CTo indicate that diet and exercises are necessary factors for a fit midsection.DTo sponsor rich healthy lifestyle based on advanced p
41、roduct research. CIt was Saturday when the entire summer world was bright and fresh. Tom looked at the fence, which was long and high, feeling all enthusiasm leaving him. He dipped his brush into the whitewash before moving it along the top board of the fence. He knew other boys would arrive soon wi
42、th all minds of interesting plans for this day. As walking past him, they would tease him for having to work on a beautiful Saturdaywhich burnt him like fire. He, putting his hands into his pockets and taking out all he owned with the expectation of letting someone paint, found nothing that could bu
43、y half an hour of freedom. At this dark and hopeless moment, a wonderful idea occurred to him, pouring a great bright light into his mind. He took up his brush and continued to work pleasantly with calm and quietness.Presently, Ben Rogers came in sightmunching an apple and making joyful noises like
44、the sound of a riverboat as he walked along. Tom went on whitewashing, paying no attention to the steamboat. “Hello!” Ben said, “Im going swimming, but you cant go, can you?”No answer. Tom moved his brush gently along the fence and surveyed the result. Ben came nearer. Toms mouth watered for Bens ap
45、ple while he kept painting the fence.Ben said, “Thats a lot of work, isnt it?”Tom turned suddenly saying “Here you are! Ben! I didnt notice you.” “Im going swimming,” Ben said. “Dont you wish you could go? Or would you rather work?”Tom said, “Work? What do you mean work?”“Isnt that work?”Tom continu
46、ed painting and answered carelessly, “Maybe it is, and maybe it isnt. All I know is it suits Tom Sawyer.”“Do you mean that you enjoy it?”“I dont see why I oughtnt to enjoy it.”“Does a boy have a chance to paint a fence frequently” said Tom.Ben stopped munching his apple.Tom moved his brush back and
47、forthstepped back to note the effectadded a little paint here and there. Ben watched every move, getting more and more interested, more and more absorbed1. After a short time, he said, “Tom, let me whitewash a little.”Tom seemed to be thinking for a moment before he said, “No, Aunt Polly wants this
48、fence to be perfect. If it was the back fence, maybe you could do it. But this fence beside the street is where everybody can see it. It has to be done right.”“Oh, come on, let me try. Ill be careful. Listen, Tom. Ill give you part of my apple if you let me paint.”“No, Ben, Im afraid”“Ill give you a
49、ll the apple!”Tom handed the brush to Ben with unwillingness on his face but alacrity in his heart. While the riverboat worked and sweated in the hot sun, Tom, an artist sat in the shade close by, munching his apple, and planning how he could trick more of the boys. Before long there were enough boy
50、s each of whom came along the street; stopped to laugh but soon begged to be allowed to paint. By the middle of the afternoon, Tom had got many treasures while the fence had had three layers of whitewash on it. If he hadnt run out of whitewash, he would have owned everything belonging to the boys in
51、 the village.Tom said to himself that the world was not so depressing after all. He had discovered a great law of human action: in order to make a man cover a thing, it is only necessary to make the thing difficult to attain.63. By using “Tom continued painting and answered carelessly”, the author s
52、hows Tom _ when he was talking to Ben. A. made mistakes B. damaged things C. was natural D. wasnt concentrating64. The underlined word “alacrity” in the last but two paragraph most probable means “_”. A. kindness B. discouragement C. sympathy D. eagerness65. Which of the following is TRUE according
53、to the passage? _ A. Tom did not want to go swimming at all B. Tom was asked to help Aunt Polly paint the fence C. Tom did not get along well with his friends D. Tom was very busy that Saturday afternoon.66. We can draw a conclusion from the last paragraph that _. A. forbidden fruit is sweet.B. a fr
54、iend in need is a friend indeed. C. all good things must come to an end.D. a bad excuse is better than none.DOnly two countries in the advanced world provide no guarantee for paid leave from work to care for a newborn child. Last spring one of the two, Australia, gave up the suspicious distinction b
55、y establishing paid family leave starting in 2011. I wasnt surprised when this didnt make the news here in the United Stateswere now the only wealthy country without such a policy. The United States does have one explicit family policy, the Family and Medical Leave Act, passed in 1993, allowing work
56、ers to have access to as much as 12 weeks unpaid leave for care of a newborn or dealing with a family medical problem. Despite the modesty(有限) of the benefit, the Chamber of Commerce and other business groups fought it bitterly, describing it as “government-run personnel management” and a “dangerous
57、 case”. In fact, every step of the way, as (usually) Democratic leaders have tried to introduce work-family balance measures into the law, business groups have been strongly opposed. As Yale law professor Anne Alstott argues, justifying parental support depends on defining the family as a social goo
58、d that, in some sense, society must pay for. In her book No Exit: What Parents Owe Their Children and What Society Owes Parents, she argues that parents are burdened in many ways in their lives: there is “no exit” when it comes to children. “Society expects and needs parents to provide their childre
59、n with continuity of care, meaning the intensive, close care that human beings need to develop their intellectual, emotional and moral capabilities. And society expects and needs parents to persist in their roles for 18 years, or longer if needed.” While most parents do this out of love, there are p
60、ublic penalties for not providing care. What parents do, in other words, is of deep concern to the state, for the obvious reason that caring for children is not only morally urgent but essential for the future of society. The state recognizes this in the large body of family laws that govern childre
61、ns welfare, yet parents receive little help in meeting the life-changing duties society imposes(赋予). To classify parenting as a personal choice for which there is no collective responsibility is not merely to ignore the social benefits of good parenting; really, it is to steal those benefits because
62、 they accrue (不断积累) to the whole of society as todays children become tomorrows productive citizens. In fact, by some estimates, the value of parental investments in children, investments of time and money (including lost wages), is equal to 20-30% of GDP (gross domestic product). If these investmen
63、ts bring about huge social benefitsas they clearly dothe benefits of providing more social support for the family should be that much clearer.67. What do we learn about paid family leave from the first paragraph? _A. America is now the only developed country without the policy.B. It has now become a
64、 hot topic in the United States.C. It came as a surprise when Australia adopted the policy.D. Its meaning was clarified when it was established in Australia.68. _ has prevented the passing of work-family balance laws in the United States?A. The incompetence of the Democrats.B. The existing Family an
65、d Medical Leave Act.C. The lack of such a case in American history.D. The opposition from business circles.69. What is Professor Anne Alstotts argument for parental support? _A. The cost of raising children in the U. S. has been growing.B. Good parenting benefits society.C. The U. S. should keep up
66、with other developed countries.D. Children need continuous care.70. The author objects to classifying parenting as a personal choice because _A. it is regarded as a legal duty.B. it relies largely on social support.C. it brings about huge social benefits.D. it is basically a social undertaking. 第四部分

On your way to a soccer game or activity, its easy to grab a cold one right out of
68、 the fridge, right?But all those plastic bottles use a lot of fossil fuels and pollute the environment. In fact, Americans buy more bottled water than any other nation in the world, adding 29 billion water bottles a year to the problem. In order to make all these bottles, manufacturers use 17 millio
69、n barrels of crude oil. Thats enough oil to keep a million cars going for twelve months.Imagine a water bottle filled a quarter of the way up with oil. Thats about how much oil was needed to produce the bottle.So why dont more people drink water straight from the kitchen faucet? Some people drink bo

There is also growing concern that chemicals in the bottles themselves may leach into the water.People love the conveni

Or, even worse, they end up as trash on the land and in rivers, lakes, and the ocean. Plastic bottles take many hundreds of years to disint

But think about how often you use water bottles, and see if you can make a change.Betty McLaughlin, who runs an organization called the Container Recycling Institute, says we should try using fewer bottles: “If you take one to school in your lunch,
74、dont throw it awaybring it home and refill it from the tap for the next day. Keep track of how many times you refill a bottle before you recycle it.”And yes, you can make a difference. Remember this: Recycling one plastic bottle can save enough energy to power a 60-watt light bulb for six hours.Titl

Additionally, reading, to some degree, is of great benefit to interpersonal communication apart from self-improvement. It can also enrich our life and bring p

Personally, I appreciate reading classical literature in my spare time, which provides me with a thorough understanding of life and society. Through practicing reading between the lines and beyond the lines, I find my comprehension ability stably improved. Perhaps in the near future, Im not merely a reader but also a writer. 版权所有：高考资源网()版权所有：高考资源网()
