【解析】

这是一篇说明文。欧洲风景迷人,大部分地区都有铁路连接。如果手中有一张欧洲铁路通票,就可以非常方便的探索欧洲及其美妙的城市。文章介绍如何得到一张欧洲铁路通票以及它的用途。

1考查一般现在时态的被动语态。句意:欧洲风景迷人,大部分地区都有铁路连接。这里在讲一个客观事实,且句子主语是scenery,是不可数名词,且与谓语动词connect之间是一种被动关系,所以用一般现在时态的被动语态,故填is connected

2考查动词不定式作后置定语。句意:由于这个原因,许多旅客坚持认为欧洲铁路通票是最好的选择。固定用法:the way to do sth.意为“做某事的方法”。此处是动词不定式作后置定语,故填to go

3考查介词。句意:Eurail是一种只有非欧洲居民才能购买和使用的火车通行证的品牌名称。此处是表示被非欧洲居民购买和使用,表示“被”。故填by

4考查名词。句意:我的父母在三个星期内游历了八个国家,体验了欧洲铁路通票的便利。定冠词the用在名词前面,所以这里应该用名词形式,故填convenience

5考查动名词作宾语。句意:他们喜欢简单的上车和出示通行证的轻松。介词of后面是两个并列的动名词作宾语,故填showing

6考查比较级。句意:最好是在你到达之前就预订,然后邮寄到你的家里、办公室或酒店。此处表示“更好”,与普通做法相比较,所以用比较级,故填better

7考查过去分词作宾语补足语。句意:最好是在你到达之前就预订,然后邮寄到你的家里、办公室或酒店。固定搭配:have+宾语+过去分词,此处宾语itmail之间是一种被动关系,是过去分词作宾语补足语,故填mailed

8考查副词。修饰动词用副词,故填exactly

9考查不定冠词。此处泛指“一个”乘客说,故填a/one

10考查非限制性定语从句。句意:一位乘客说:“欧洲铁路之旅是探索欧洲及其美妙城市的完美方式,这是一次充满惊险冒险的旅程。”此处A Eurail trip作先行词,指物,用which引导后面的非限制性定语从句。故填which

【题目】 A small piece of fish each day may keep the heart doctor away. That’s the finding of a study of Dutch men in which deaths from heart disease were more than 50 percent lower among those who consumed (消耗) at least an ounce (盎司) of salt water fish per day compared to those who never ate fish.

The Dutch research is one of three human studies that give strong scientific support to the long held belief that eating fish can provide health benefits, particularly to the heart.

Heart disease is the number-one killer in the United States, with more than 550,000 deaths occurring from heart attacks each year. But long before researchers have noticed that the incidence (发生率) of heart disease is lower in cultures that consume more fish than Americans do. There are fewer heart disease deaths, for example, among the Eskimos of Greenland, who consume about 14 ounces of fish a day, and among the Japanese, whose daily fish consumption (消费) averages more than 3 ounces.

For 20 years, the Dutch study followed 852 middle-aged men, 20 percent of whom ate no fish.

At the start of the study, average fish consumption was about two-thirds of an ounce each day, with more men eating lean fish than fatty fish.

During the next two decades, 78 of the men died from heart disease. The fewest deaths were among the group who regularly ate fish, even at levels far lower than those of the Japanese or Eskimos. This relationship was true regardless of other factors such as age, high blood pressure, or blood cholesterol (胆固醇) levels.

1We can infer from the passage that there are fewer heart disease deaths ________.

A.in highly-developed countries

B.in countries of the yellow-skin race

C.in the countries with good production of fish

D.in the countries with high consumption of fish

2The underlined words “lean fish” (paragraph 5) mean “________”.

A.large fishB.fresh fish

C.fish that have little fatD.fish that live in salt water

3The passage is mainly about ________.

A.the changes in people’s diet

B.the effect of fish eating on people’s health

C.the high incidence of heart disease in some countries

D.the daily fish consumption of people in different cultures

【题目】 Starbucks’ founder, Howard Schultz, came up with an idea for his coffee chain while drinking espresso (浓咖啡)in a bar. He took a good product, repackaged it and globalized it. But to many Italians, the coffee served by Starbucks and other branded stores is as far away from proper Italian coffee as you can get, despite the Italian-sounding offerings on their menus.

Now, I am part-Italian and like most Italians, I think that Italy represents the height of coffee culture, against the standard by which all coffee should be measured. My Italian friends and family hate the idea of adding a little sugar juice or other things to their valuable cappuccino (卡布奇诺).I have a coffee machine at home, which is to the Italian kitchen what the kettle is to the British. As far as I’m concerned, the cappuccinos, lattes (拿铁)and espressos served in branded coffee chains taste bitter, a low copy of the real thing.

You’d never ask for a latte in Italy. If you did, you’d get served a glass of milk. Coffee and espresso are the same in Italy. Then there’s the Australian “white coffee”, a halfway house between a Starbucks-style latte and a macchiato(玛奇朵). The “white coffee” has gone global so much that recently it replaced the cappuccino on Starbucks’ menu in some parts of the US.

What’s more, Italians don’t waste time around in coffee shop armchairs drinking cappuccinos while surfing the Internet. Still, when it comes to taste, Italians are trying to reclaim the ground. Part of the problem is the price of coffee. Most Italian bars will not charge more than one euro a cup, which means there isn’t the choice to purchase more high-quality coffee. Italian flavor is held back by the way the coffee is boiled.

I still think I’ll be sticking to home-made coffee from my trusted machine. And I’ll continue to drink it in the Italian way.

1What’s the purpose of telling the story of Starbucks in Paragraph 1?

A.To introduce the topic of the passage.

B.To introduce the history of Starbucks.

C.To present the standard of good coffee.

D.To explain the key to the success of Starbucks.

2In the author’s opinion, the coffee served in Italian branded stores __________.

A.contains too much sugar juice

B.represents the Italian coffee culture

C.is very different from that served in the US

D.cannot meet the Italian standard of good coffee

3Italians prefer home-made coffee due to the fact that___________.

A.home-made coffee is much cheaper

B.they can produce proper Italian coffee at home

C.each family has a tradition to use the coffee machine

D.they can have access to the Internet when drinking coffee at home

4According to the passage, we can infer that_______.

A.Starbucks coffee doesn’t agree with the Italians

B.white coffee tastes sweeter than cappuccino

C.Italian coffee culture is widely spread all over the world

D.the British like the kettle the same way as the Italians like coffee

【题目】 Researchers at UCLA Medical Center found that a 12-minute bed-side visit with a dog can help reduce anxiety levels by 24 percent in heart failure patients, compared to a 10 percent drop when patients had a visit from a human volunteer, and no drop in patients who had no visit.

Results of the 76-patient study were presented last week. The study was supported by a non-profit (非盈利)organization which promotes human-animal interaction and connection. In the study, effects of dog and volunteer visits were compared with those of volunteers only, and with patients who had no visits and stayed at rest. Patients were asked to answer a list of questions before and after the visits. The results suggested improved heart function, and the most obvious reaction was seen in anxiety levels.

“The first thing you notice is that the patient’s facial expression, changes to a smile and the pressure of the world seems to be lifted off their shoulders,” study author Kathy Cole said. Feelings of disappointment and helplessness are common among heart patients, Cole said, and just three nights in a hospital is enough to make some patients feel anxious and uncomfortable. During the visit, the furry friend is allowed to lie on the bed next to the patient with its head within two feet of the patient’s. Most patients petted the dog, while others talked about the dog with human volunteers in conversation.   

Dogs used in the study are specially trained dogs that go through a series of trainings. There are different kinds of dogs. Researchers used everything from Bernese mountain dogs to small schnauzers. However, a dog doesn’t have to be specially trained to have a calming effect on a person. In fact, the animal doesn’t even have to be a dog in order to help. “As long as the animal has meaning to the patient, or a relationship with the patient, it can help calm the patient,” Cole said.

1We learn from the text that heart patients benefit most from visits by___________.

A.a volunteer on his ownB.a well-trained dog alone

C.a non-profit organizationD.a volunteer with a dog

2The study shows that, for heart patients, __________.

A.their recovery depends on contact with animals

B.their heart pressure reduces if they stay at rest

C.their contact with animals improves their condition

D.their anxiety is reduced if they stay longer in hospital

3According to Cole, the change of patients’ expression on the face indicates that_________.

A.they are mentally comfortedB.they are happy with the experiment

C.their treatment time may be shortenedD.their heart function is returning to normal

4This report concentrates on__________.

A.the treatment of heart diseaseB.the cure power of animals

C.the relationship between dogs and humansD.the promotion of human-animal interaction

【题目】It has always been thought that alcohol causes people to put on weight because it contains a lot of sugar, but new research suggests a glass a day cold form part of a diet. Looking at past studies they found that, while heavy drinkers do put on weight; those who drinkin moderationcan actually lose weight.

A spokesman for the research team at Navarro University in Spain says, “Light to moderate alcohol intake, especially of wine, may be more likely to protect against, rather than promote, weight gain.” The International Scientific Forum on Alcohol research reviewed the findings and agreed with most of the conclusions, particularly that data do not clearly indicate if moderate drinking increases weight.

BostonUniversity’s Dr. Harvey Finkel found that the biologic mechanisms(生物学机制) relating alcohol to changes in body weight are not properly understood. His team pointed out the strong protective effects of moderate drinking on the risk of getting conditions likediabetes(糖尿病), which relate to increasing obesity. Some studies suggest that even very obese people may be at lower risk of diabetes if they are moderate drinkers.

The group says alcohol provides calories that are quicklyabsorbed into the body and arenot stored in fat, and that this process could explain the differences in its effects from those ofother foods. They agree that future research should be directed towards assessing the roles ofdifferent types of alcoholic drinks, taking into consideration drinking patterns and including thepast tendency of participants to gain weight.

For now there is little evidence that consuming small to moderate amounts of alcohol on aregular basis increases one’s risk of becoming obese. What’s more, a study three years agosuggested that resveratrol白藜芦醇, a compound present in grapes and red wine destroys fat cells.

1The passage is mainly for those_________

A. who produce wine B. who go on a diet

C. who have a drinking habit D. who are eager to lose weight

2The underlined phrase“ in moderation” in the first paragraph means_________.

A. excitedly B. carefully

C. frequently D. properly

3What can we learn from the passage

A. Current data clearly show that moderate drinking increases weight.

B. Resveratrol is proved to increase the risk of becoming fat.

C. The research found moderate drinking has a strong protective effect.

D. The specific roles of different types of alcoholic drinks are very clear.

4What is most likely to be discussed in the paragraph that follows?

A. How to do some easy experiments.

B. How to reduce the calories contained in wine.

C. How to make wine in a healthy way.

D. How to prove the finding mentioned above.
