4.Tips for Cooking on a Tight Schedule
From my experience,there are three main reasons why people don't cook more often:ability,money,and time.(36)BMoney is a topic I'll save for another day.So today I want to give you some wisdom about how to make the most of the time you spend in the kitchen.Here are three tips for great cooking on a tight schedule:
1.Think ahead.The moments when I think cooking is a pain are when I'm already hungry and there's nothing ready to eat.So think ahead of the coming week.When will you have time to cook?Do you have the right materials already?(37)G.
2.Make your time worth it.When you do find time to cook a meal,make the most of it and save yourself time later on.Are you making one loaf of bread?(38)CIt takes around the same amount of time to make more of something.So save yourself the effort for a future meal.
3.(39)AThis may surprise you,but one of the best tools for making cooking worth your time is experimentation.It gives you the chance to hit upon new ideas and recipes that can work well with yor appetite and schedule.The more you learn and the more you try,the more ability you have to take control of your food and your schedule.
Hopefully that gives you a good start.(40)FAnd don't let a busy schedule discourage you from making some great changes in the way you eat and live!

A.Try new things.
B.Ability is easily improved.
C.Make three or four instead.
D.Understand your food better.
E.Cooking is a burden(负担) for many people.
F.Let cooking and living simply be a joy rather than a burden.
G.A little time planning ahead can save a lot of work later on.

解答 36-40 BGCAF
36.B归纳总结题.根据上文的句子"From my experience,there are three main reasons why people don't cook more often:ability,money and time."(提到能力,钱和时间)而后面的句子Money is a topic I'll save for another day.提到的是钱.可知这里是:能力是很容易提高的.故选B.
37.G联系上文题.根据这段的开头句子"Think ahead."(提前思考).可知这里说的是:提前计划可以省去以后很多工作.故选G.
38.C语境辨析题.根据上文的"Are you making one loaf of bread?"(你做一块面包?)C项:Make three or four instead.相反应该做三个或四个.符合语境.故选C.
39.A小标题选择.根据下文的句子"It gives you the chance to hit upon new ideas"可知它给你机会想出新的想法,说明这里是:尝试新的东西(Try new things).故选A.
40.F归纳总结题.根据最后一句"And don't let a busy schedule discourage you from making some great changes in the way you eat and live!"(不要让忙碌的安排阻止你在吃饭生活方面做出改变.)可以判断这里是:让做饭和生活成为快乐的事情而不是负担.故选F.

点评 做此类题之前,应先把七个答案仔细读一遍,通过它们来猜测文章大意,然后进入文章进行一个一个地填写,若中间有些不会填写,可以先放下,最后再去处理它.做这类题,在理解的基础上,要讲一些技巧.做完后,千万不要忘记检查,上下文是否通顺.平时学生在阅读一定要注意文章上下文联系等.

19.You might think that"global warming"means nothing more than a rise in the world's temperature.But rising sea levels caused by it have resulted in the first escape of an island nation-the citizens of Tuvalu will have to leave their homeland.
During the 20th century,sea level rose 8-12 inches.As a result.Tuvalu has experienced lowland flooding of salt water which has polluted the country's drinking water.
Paani Laupepa,a Tuvaluan government official,reported to the Earth Policy Institute that the nation suffered an unusually high number of fierce storms in the past ten years.Many scientists connect higher surface water temperatures resulting from global warming to greater and more damaging storms.
Laupepa expressed dissatisfaction with the United States for refusing to sign the Kyoto Protocol(京都协议书),an international agreement calling for industrialized nations to reduce their greenhouse gas emissions,which are a main cause of global warming."By refusing to sign the agreement,the US has effectively taken away the freedom of future generations of Tuvaluans to live where their forefathers have lived for thousands of years,"Laupepa told the BBC.
Tuvalu has asked Australia and New Zealand to allow the gradual move of its people to both countries.
Tuvalu is not the only country that is affected by rising sea levels.Maumoon Gayoon,president of the Maldives,told the United Nations that global warming has made his country of 311,000 an"endangered nation".

16.If you go around the room ask a handful of people how to memorize things quickly,most of them will probably tell you repetition.That is so far from the truth.(36)FHowever,recalling something will.The problem is that recalling something requires learning,and we all learn in different ways.Below are some universal steps to master the art of recalling.
Write everything down
Before you start trying to recall everything from memory,write and rewrite the information.(37)EDoing this while listening to your tape recorder can also help you keep the data (数据).
Divide your notes into parts
(38)DThis is ideal for visual (视觉的) learners.This will help you break everything down and start dividing the information into several parts in your brain.
Teach it to someone
The most effective method for me when I was in school was to teach the information to someone else.My favorite method for this is creating tests for other people.(39)AYou can lecture someone sitting right in front of you or behind you about the knowledge.You can also teach it to a mirror.
Take a break
(40)BGo for a short time without thinking about what you just learned and come back to it later on.You'll find out what you really know and this will help you pay more attention to the parts you might be the weakest at.

A.You can do this in a lot of ways.
B.Finally,let your mind breathe.
C.It is not difficult to write everything down.
D.Now that you have everything written down in a set of notes,divide them into parts.
E.This will help you become more familiar with what you're trying to memorize.
F.If you want to memorize something quickly,repetition won't make it.
G.This is especially useful if you're trying to memorize information from a lecture.
14.President Barack Obama renamed North America's tallest mountain this week.For almost 100years,the 20,310-foot Alaskan peak has been identified on most maps as Mount McKinley.Its names is now officially Denali.
This"new"official name isn't really new at all.Obama changed the mountain's name to Denali because,for generations,that's what people in Alaska have called it.The Athabascan people,a Native Alaskan group,named the peak Denali long ago.It means"high one"or"great one."
"We are officially renaming the mountain Denali in recognition of the traditions of Alaska Natives and the strong support of the people of Alaska,"said U.S.Interior Secretary Sally Jewell.
Alaska Senator Lisa Murkowski praised Obama's move."I'd like to thank the president for working with us to achieve this significant change to show honor,respect,and gratitude to the Athabascan people of Alaska,"she said.
The name Mount McKinley got its start in 1896.At that time,there was a gold rush going on in Alaska.A gold prospector (勘探者) wanted to honor William McKinley of Ohio,who had just been nominated (提名) to run for U.S.president.McKinley would go on to become the nation's 25th president.He was killed in 1901,six months into his second term as president.The U.S.Congress made the name Mount McKinley official in 1917.
Native Alaskans were insulted (侮辱) by the name change.The result has been a political tug-of-war between Alaska and Ohio.Since 1975,Alaska politicians have pushed Congress to change the name back to Denali.Now that President Obama has changed the name,some people in Ohio are very unhappy."This political change is insulting to all Ohioans,"said Congressman Bob Gibbs,who is from that state.
Denali also made news this week for another reason:U.S.officials decreased its official height by 10feet.The United States Geological Survey announced that Denali is 20,310feet high,not 20,320as previously thought.The mountain has not shrunk (萎缩).Advances in technology allowed scientists to take more accurate measurements of it.
28.Why has the U.S.government renamed its tallest mountain?B
A.To end a long political debate.
B.To show respect for Alaska Natives.
C.To remember the nation's 25th president.
D.To officially identify the mountain's name on maps.
29.What's Ohioans'attitude towards the new name of Mount McKinley?D
A.Excited.
B.Amazed.
C.Puzzled.
D.Disappointed.
30.What's do we know about Mount Denali?A
A.It is actually 20,310feet in height.
B.It was found by a gold prospector.
C.It was originally named McKinley.
D.It isn't North America's tallest mountain.
31.What would be the best title for the text?B
A.A political tug-of-war.
B.From McKinley to Denali.
C.The tallest mountain found.
D.In honor of William McKinley.
