10、aintings.第二部分阅读理解 （共两节，每小题2分，满分40分）A The Diet Zone: A Dangerous Place Diet Coke, diet Pepsi, diet pills, no-fat diet, vegetable diet We are surrounded by the word “diet”（节食） everywhere we look and listen. We have so easily been attracted by the promise and potential of diet products that we have sto
11、pped thinking about what diet products are doing to us. We are paying for products that harm us psychologically (心理) and physically. Diet products significantly weaken us psychologically. On one level, we are not allowing our brain to admit that our weight problems lie not in actually losing the wei
12、ght, but in controlling the consumption（消费） of fatty, high-calorie, unhealthy foods. Diet products allow us to jump over the thinking stage and go straight for the scale（秤）instead. All we have to do is to swallow（吞咽） or recognize the word “diet” in food labels. On another level, diet products have g
13、reater psychological effects. Every time we have a zero-calorie drink, we are telling ourselves without our awareness that we dont have to work to get results. Diet products make people believe that gain comes without pain, and that life can be without resistance and struggle. The danger of diet pro
14、ducts lies not only in the psychological effects they have on us, but also in the physical harm that they cause. Diet foods can indirectly harm our bodies because consuming them instead of healthy foods means we are preventing our bodies from having basic nutrients(营养成分). Diet foods and diet pills c
15、ontain zero calorie only because the diet industry has created chemicals to produce these wonder products. Diet products may not be nutritional, and the chemical that go into diet products are potentially dangerous. Now that we are aware of the effects that diet products have on us, it is time to se
16、riously think about buying them. Losing weight lies in the power of minds, not in the power of chemicals. Once we realize this, we will be much better able to resist diet products, and therefore prevent the psychological harm that comes from using them .21. From Paragraph 1, we learn that _.A. diet
17、products fail to bring out peoples potentialB. people have difficulty in choosing diet productsC. diet products are misleading peopleD. people are fed up with diet products22. One psychological effect of diet products is that people tend to _.A. try out a variety of diet foodsB. hesitate before they
18、 enjoy diet foodsC. pay attention to their own eating habitsD. watch their weight rather than their diet23. In Paragraph 3, “gain comes without pain” probably means _.A. losing weight is effortlessB. it costs a lot to lose weightC. diet products bring no painD. diet products are free from calories24
19、. Diet products indirectly harm people physically because such products _.A. are over-consumedB. lack basic nutrientsC. are short of chemicalsD. provide too much energyB Both are so much related to each other. And both are so dissimilar! What are the differences between friendship and love? Is plato
20、nic(理想的) friendship possible between persons of opposite sex? Let us try and understand.What is friendship? Why do we call a person our friend? When do we call someone a very good friend? If we care for a person, if we are always ready to help that person and if we share most of our thoughts with a
21、person, they are our good friends. We can always count upon our good friends in an emergency. We are always sure that our friend will understand why we acted in a certain way. We need not explain anything to our very good friends. The friendship is so deep and the relationship is so close, that most
22、 of the things are automatically understood by our friends.What about love? In a relationship of deep love, all the sharing that we discussed above are taken for granted. But love transcends(胜过，超越) all this. During love, we are attached with a particular person, while in friendship, one may have man
23、y friends. A loving relationship makes one so much attached to the other, that one gets pained if his/her beloved is hurt! Love also involves a physical element. Friendship does not have that. This is a vital difference. Nature gives us love so that the specie can go forward. Nature does not give us
24、 friendship.Your heart beats will never increase in expectation of meeting your friend. You will not lie awake at night thinking about your friend. You will not feel totally lost, if you dont meet your friend for a few days. You will not have dreams in your eyes thinking about your friend. But in lo
25、ve, you will do all this and much more. Indeed, there is no comparison between love and friendship.25Whats the function of the first passage?ATo come up with the question for the further discussion.BTo explain the main idea of the following passage.CTo tell us the whole meaning of the passage.DTo ad
26、vise us to make friends in different way.26How do you do to make real friends?AYou should give others your everything.BYou should share, help and understand each other.CYou should have the same interests in everything.DFriend in need is a friend indeed.27If you are friends, youll _.Adream of him at
27、night.Blie awake at night and think your friend.Cfeel you dont meet him for a long time.DYou dont feel excited meeting your friend.28The writer gives us the article to _.Atell us the meaning of love and friendship.Btell us relationship between friends and relatives.Ctell us the difference between lo
28、ve and friendship.Dtell us how to get friendship and love.C Canadian English is the variety of English spoken in Canada. English, instead of French, is the first language, or “mother tongue”， of approximately 24 million Canadians (77%), and more than 28 million (86%) are fluent in the language. Cana
29、dian English contains elements of British English and American English in its vocabulary, as well as Canadian native language. In many areas, speech is influenced by French, and there are notable local variations. Canada has very little dialect diversity compared to the United States. Canadian Engli
30、sh and American English are sometimes classified together as North American English. Canadian English spelling is largely a combination of British and American conventions(惯例)The term “Canadian English” is first proved in a speech by the Reverend A. Constable Geikie in a speech to the Canadian Insti
31、tute in 1857. Geikie, a Scottishborn Canadian, reflected the Anglo centric attitude that would be common in Canada for the next hundred years when he referred to the language as “a ruined dialect，” in comparison to what he considered the proper English spoken by immigrants from Britain. Canadian Eng
32、lish is the product of four waves of immigration and settlement over a period of almost two centuries. The first large wave of long Englishspeaking settlement in Canada, and linguistically the most important, was the arrival of Loyalists escaping from the American Revolution, chiefly from the MidAtl
33、antic statesas such, Canadian English is believed by some scholars to have come from northern American English. Recent studies suggest that Canadian English has been developing features of its own since the early 19th century. The second wave from Britain and Ireland was encouraged to settle in Cana
34、da after the War of 1812 by the governors of Canada. Waves of immigration from around the globe peaking in 1910 and 1960 had a lesser influence.29We can infer that Geikie was born in _.ACanada. BBritain. CFrance. DAmerica. 30According to the passage, the mother tongue in Canada is _.AFrench. BSpanis
35、h. CEnglish. DGerman.31Which of the four waves of immigration affected Canadian English most?AThe first wave. BThe second wave.CThe third wave. DThe fourth wave.32What is the passage mainly about?AThe differences between Canadian English and American English.BHow American English affects Canadian En
36、glish.CThe basic cases and the history of Canadian English.DThe four waves of immigration and settlement in Canada.DDo you know of anyone who uses the truth to deceive(欺骗)? When someone tells you something that is true, but leaves out important information that should be included, he can give you a
37、false pictureFor example, someone might say, “I just won a hundred dollars on the lottery(彩票). It was great. I took that dollar ticket back to the store and turned it in for one hundred dollars!” This guy is a winner, right? Maybe, maybe not. We then discover that he bought $ 200 worth of tickets, a
38、nd only one was a winner. Hes really a big loser! He didnt say anything that was false, but he left out important information on purpose. Thats called a half-truth. Half truths are not technically lies, but they are just as dishonest. Some politicians often use this trick. Lets say that during Gover
39、nor Smiths last term, her state lost one million jobs and gained three million jobs. Then she seeks another term. One of her opponents says, “During Governor Smiths term, the state lost one million jobs!” Thats true. However, an honest statement would have been, “During Governor Smiths term, the sta
40、te had a net gain of two million jobs. Advertisers will sometimes use halftruths. Its against the law to make false statements so they try to mislead you with the truth. An advertisement might say, “Nine out of ten doctors advised their patients to take Yucky Pills to cure toothache. ”It fails to me
41、ntion that they only asked ten doctors and nine of them work for the Yucky Company.This kind of deception happens too often. Its a sad fact of life: Lies are lies, and sometimes the truth can lie as well. 33. We may infer that the author believes people should _.A. buy lottery tickets if possible B.
42、 make use of halftruthsC. be careful about what they are told D. not trust the Yucky Company34. How many examples does the writer give to show how the truth is used to deceive?A. One B. Two C. Three D. Four35. Which of the following is true according to the passage?A. Using half truths is against th
43、e law.B. Technically, half truths are in fact lies.C. Yucky Pills is a very good medicine for toothache.D. Governor Smith did a good job during her last term.36. Which of the following best expresses the main idea of the passage?A. Hes really a big loser!B. Sometimes the truth can lie as wellC. Adve
44、rtisers will sometimes use half truthsD. Its against the law to make false statementsEThe evolution of the first animals may have oxygenated (供氧) Earths oceans. New research led by the University of Exeter challenges the long held belief that oxygenation of the atmosphere and oceans was a preconditi
45、on for the evolution of complex life forms.The study, published in the journal Nature Geoscience, builds on the recent work of scientists in Denmark who found that sponges (海绵动物) the first animals to evolve require only small amounts of oxygen.Professor Tim Lenton of the University of Exeter，who led
46、 the new study, said: “We argue that the evolution of the first animals could have played a key role in the widespread oxygenation of the deep oceans. This in turn may have facilitated the evolution of more complex, mobile animals.”Critical to determining oxygen levels in the deep ocean is the balan
47、ce of oxygen supply and demand. Demand for oxygen is created by the sinking of dead organic material into the deep ocean. The new study argues that the first animals reduced this supply of organic matter both directly and indirectly.Sponges feed by pumping water through their bodies，“digesting” the
48、tiny particles of organic matter，and thus helping oxygenate the shelf seas that they live in. By oxygenating more of the bottom waters, the first animals actually increased the removal of the essential nutrient phosphorus (磷) in the ocean. This in turn reduced the productivity of the whole ocean eco
49、system, lowering oxygen demand and thus oxygenating the deep ocean.A more oxygenrich ocean created ideal conditions for more complex mobile animals to evolve, because they have a higher requirement for oxygen. These included the first predatory (肉食的) animals with guts (内脏) that started to eat one an
50、other，marking the beginning of the type of food webs we are familiar with today.Professor Simon Poulton of the University of Leeds，who is a coauthor of the study, added：“This study provides a possible mechanism for ocean oxygenation without the requirement for a rise in atmospheric oxygen. It theref
51、ore questions whether the longstanding belief that there was a major rise in atmospheric oxygen at this time is correct. We simply dont know the answer to this at present，which is ultimately key to understanding how our planet evolved to its current habitable state. Geochemists need to come up with
52、new ways to explain oxygen levels on the early Earth.”37The underlined word “facilitated” in Paragraph 3 is closest in meaning to _.Aprevented BpromotedCinterrupted Dwitnessed38From Paragraphs 4 to 6, we can infer that_.Aphosphorus can keep the productivity of the ocean ecosystemBcomplex animals con
53、sume the same amount of oxygen as spongesCthe sinking of dead organic material into the deep ocean produces oxygenDthe existence of the first animals marks the beginning of modern food webs39From the last paragraph, we can learn Professor Simon Poulton believes that_.Atheir study gives a new explana

86、spread oxygenation of the deep oceans.This in turn .”可推知，早期动物在深海氧气扩散中起到关键作用，这反过来也促进了这些动物的进化，所以此处 facilitate 与 promote 意思相近，意为“促使，有助于”。故选B项。38选A推理判断题。根据文章第五段第二、三句“By oxygenating more of the bottom waters，the first animals actually increased the removal of the essential nutrient phosphorus (磷) in the
87、ocean.This in turn reduced the productivity of the whole ocean ecosystem，lowering oxygen demand and thus oxygenating the deep ocean.”可推知，磷可以维持海洋生态系统的生产力。故选A项。39选D细节理解题。根据文章最后一段第一句“Professor Simon Poulton of the University of Leeds, who is a coauthor of the study, added：This study provides a possible
88、 mechanism for ocean oxygenation without the requirement for a rise in atmosphere oxygen.”可知，Simon Poulton 相信海洋的供氧不一定需要空气中氧气的增加。故选D项。40选A写作意图题。根据文章第一段第一句“The evolution of the first animals may have oxygenated(供氧)Earths oceans.”的开篇点题，并结合第三段中的“We argue that the evolution of the first animals could hav
