8.Today's modern life discourages people from taking time to prepare their own meals.Eating in the car and grabbing a quick bite in a restaurant are ever more popular ways of dining.It takes a little extra effort and time to cook your own food,but it's a worthwhile pursuit(追求)that can benefit your health,wallet and family.
People across the country are waking up to the fact that the food offered by most fast food restaurants isn't particularly healthy.While these restaurants have made attempts lately to add healthier meals to their menus,it's still a far cry from a dish cooked with fresh ingredients and personal care.
Nutritionists who study what is called"the French paradox"-meaning the fact that French people have low obesity rates despite their diet containing lots of"unhealthy"ingredients such as eggs and butter---partially account for this circumstance by the fact that many French people use fresh ingredients.Taking time to eat at a leisurely pace also helps you get better nutrition and you are less likely to pack on the pounds.
Even a quick meal will usually cost at least five dollars per person at a restaurant.Compare this to the amount of pasta,vegetables or meat available for the same amount at your grocer,and it quickly becomes apparent that the cost of eating out adds up.
Experimenting with new ingredients or foreign recipes will encourage children to try new foods and learn about dishes from around the world.Many couples also find that preparing a meal together can be a romantic experience equal to dinner in a classy,low-lit restaurant.Make sure to spend mealtimes talking and sharing events from the day and you may find it's a great way to get to know your family better.

25.What can we learn from Paragraph 1?B
A.Fast food does great harm to people.
B.More people prefer dining out today.
C.There're different reasons for dining out.
D.Many people still approve of cooking at home.
26.The underlined phrase"a far cry from"in Paragraph 2can be replaced by"A".
A.different from  
B.absent from  
C.equal to  
D.superior to
27.Why is"the French paradox"referred to in the passage.C
A.To show the French diet is fairy delicious.
B.To illustrate the French have a healthy diet.
C.To stress the importance of using fresh food ingredients.
D.To prove the French diet makes people fat easily.
28.What advantage of cooking at home does the last paragraph talk about?A
A.Strengthen family bonds.
B.Save your money up.
C.Expose you to foreign culture.
D.Get children educated better.

分析 本文是说明文类的短文阅读,主要讲述的是针对现在很多人习惯在外面吃饭这一现象分析了在家做饭的一些好处.

解答 B  A C A
25.B.考查推理判断.从第一段Eating in the car and grabbing a quick bite in a restaurant are ever more popular ways of dining.可知,现代生活节奏加快,人们多选择在外就餐,而在家做饭虽然费时费力,但却值得去做,因为这有许多好处.由此可以推断出,人们在家做饭不像以往那么普遍了,即外出就餐的人数增多.故选B.
26.A.考查词义猜测.从第二段的内容While these restaurants have made attempts lately to add healthier meals to their menus,it's still a far cry from a dish cooked with fresh ingredients and personal care.可知,虽然饭店努力往菜单上增加健康食品,但这依然不同于在家做饭,因为后者可以使用新鲜食材,而且可以精心烹饪,所以a far cry from的意思是"与…大不相同".同A项含义相近.故选A.
27.C.考查推理判断.从第三段第一句Nutritionists who study what is called"the French paradox"-meaning the fact that French people have low obesity rates despite their diet containing lots of"unhealthy"ingredients such as eggs and butter---partially account for this circumstance by the fact that many French people use fresh ingredients.可知,虽然法国人的饮食中含有大量不利于健康的鸡蛋、黄油等食材,但法国人的肥胖率却很低,而营养学家认为这源于法国人使用新鲜食材.故文中提及"法国悖论"是为了说明使用新鲜食材的重要性.故选C.
28.A.考查推理判断.从最后一段内容,尤其是"Many couples also find that preparing a meal together can be a romantic experience…get to know your family better"可知,最后一段讲的在家做饭的好处是能加强家人之间的联系.故选A.

点评 解答细节理解题时,一个常用的方法就是运用定位法,即根据题干和选项中的关键词从原文中找到相关的句子,与选项进行比较从而确定答案;推理判断题既要求学生透过文章表面文字信息推测文章隐含意思,又要求学生对作者的态度、意图及文章细节的发展作正确的推理判断,力求从作者的角度去考虑,不要固守自己的看法或观点.

18.A cold and wet summer across the UK has caused a"dramatic fall"in the amount of honey produced by British bees,a survey of beekeepers has revealed.
Yields are down 72% compared to 2011,research by the British Beekeepers'Association (BBKA) suggested.The majority of those surveyed said the rain and cold weather was the main reason the harvest was poor.More than 2,700beekeepers in England,Wales and Northern Ireland were surveyed in the BBKA's annual Honey Survey.The honey harvest was lowest in London,where hives produced an average of 2.5kg of honey.In Northern Ireland,hives yielded the highest average of 11.7kg of honey-but the figure is only half the amount normally produced by bees in the area.Earlier this year,the cold and wet conditions forced the organization to issue a mid-summer warning to feed honey bee colonies with sugar syrup if necessary to avoid starvation.
A hard summer in 2012may mean there are fewer honey bees in 2013.Honey bees produce honey as a food store.Normally,this store would be enough to see them through the winter months.The BBKA warned the worst may be yet to come,as a lack of food for bees and wet conditions mean breeding queens have been unable to produce a large enough brood to see colonies through the winter.Bad weather in spring prevented honey bees in many areas from collecting nectar (花蜜) from early flowering crops such as oil seed rape,and the rain continued in many places throughout June and July preventing honey bees from feeding on later crops.
In London,where yields were hardest hit,beekeeping experts said that in addition to the bad weather there was a lack of food for bees in the city.Angela Woods,secretary of the London Beekeepers'Association,said:"Rather than putting beehives on office roofs,we encourage companies in London who want to help to look at different ways of supporting bees and beekeepers.
Tim Lovett,the BBKA's public affairs director said,"there has been greater emphasis on"training and developing"beekeepers in recent years.We need more resources to put into training,education and bee health research,to continue to support our honey bees and other pollinators.Well trained beekeepers are better equipped to deal with the adverse conditions we have seen this year.Without training,this year's situation might have been a lot worse.

65.Which of the following may have the closest meaning to the underlined word"colonies"in P2?D
A.areas
B.territories
C.possessions
D.groups
66.What is the most probable cause of a great decline in honey yield?C
A.Bees are not well kept.
B.Bees can not adapt the natural change.
C.The weather is bad and bees lack food.
D.Bees can hardly collect nectar from flowering crops.
67.According to Tim Lovett,to continue to support our honey bees and other pollinators,people shouldA.
A.put more resources into training
B.focus on usual training and developing
C.train bees to adapt different weather conditions

16.Although the United States covers so much land and the land produces far more food than the present population needs,its people are by now almost entirely an urban society Less than a tenth of the people are engaged in agriculture and forestry(林业),and most of the rest live in or around towns,small and large.Here the traditional picture is changing:every small town may still be very like other small towns,and the typical small town may represent a widely accepted view of the country,but most Americans do not live in small towns any more.Half the population now lives in some thirty metropolitan areas(1arge cities with their suburbs、of more than a million people each-a larger proportion than in Germany or England,let alone France.The statistics(统计)of urban and rural population should be treated with caution because so many people who live in areas classified as rural travel by car to work in a nearby town each day.As the rush to live out of town continues.rural areas within reach of towns are gradually filled with houses,so that it is hard to say at what moment a piece of country becomes a suburb But more and more the typical American lives in a metropolitan rather than a small town environment.

36.If now America has 250million people.how many of them are engaged in agriculture and forestry?C

C.Because the process is gradual.
D.Because more and more Americans live in metropolitan areas.
3.Day Trips from Sydney:A Short Tour of the Blue Mountain
Here is a suggested short tour of the Blue Mountains that you can easily follow in a day from your base in Sydney.
From the center of Sydney,head towards Parramatta and join the M4highway at Stratified.After you leave the highway at Lapstone,you will drive through a series of small towns.
Stop at Subline Point,near the town of Leura.
There is short,step climb down to the lookout point.You need to walk carefully,as there is just enough space for two people to pass on the uneven steps that border a very sharp drop down the mountain.
When you reach the lookout at Subline Point,you are rewarded for the somewhat scary walk by the most wonderful,breathtaking panoramic view of the mountain.
The Three Sisters at Echo Point,near the town of Katoomba.
Take a ride on the aerial cable car for a more close-up view of the Three Sisters and to appreciate just how steep the mountains are.You can also experience the world's steepest railway incline by taking the scenic railway.
Visit Katoomba Waterfall.
Katoomba is a good place to stop for lunch,with cafes and restaurants in its long main street.
On the outskirts of Katoomba,visit Katoomba Falls where a waterfall cascades down the steep,tree-covered mountain.The Katoomba Falls Kiosk is a good place to sit on a sofa and relax with a cup of coffee.
Outside Blackheath,head for Hargraves Lookout.
Hargraves Lookout is a good place to visit because there are very few tourists.There are no steep drops on the way,although there is a walk from the lower lookout point into the bush that looks very steep.
Once you have visited Hargraces Lookout,you could head back to Sydney.

13.With eight bloodshot eyes fixed on a flying object,the pains of a two-year project were about to bear fruit.
It was Wang Hongyi's first test flight of an unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV) (无人机)designed and assembled(组装)with his teammates from the Aero-Sport Club (航模队)at Shanghai Jiaotong University.
Wang is a senior mechanical engineering and automation major.He has been a plane model fan since childhood.As a freshman,he spent two nights building a model aircraft and took it to the sports field just for fun.Wu Junqi,the coach of Shanghai Jiaotong University's Aero-Sport Club,spotted Wang and told him his model was out of date.
"I was a little angry,so he took me to the lab,"says Wang.He was immediately drawn to the modern equipment and decided to join the club.As a technology fan,Wang spends most of his spare time in the lab."He loves what he's doing,so he can stand the loneliness of doing research."says coach Wu.
When Wang and his teammates were building UAV,they lived together in the lab."We tried to spend as much time together as possible because there were thousands of problems that needed to be solved,"Wang says.They didn't even have time to celebrate when the first test flight of the UAV went well."We needed to list the problems that occurred during the flight and analyze them to find solutions,"he says.
"Our UAV isn't finished yet,but there are many design projects and people with similar interests waiting for me,"Wang says."The UAV is just the beginning,not the end of my aircraft journey."
21.Why did Wang succeed in doing the research?C
A.He majored in mechanical engineering and automation.
B.He had a good coach and wonderful teammates.
C.He loved what he did and would stick to it.

B.Two heads are better than one.
C.All that glitters is not gold.
D.Actions speak louder than words.
20.Terrafugia is the most known flying car that has awaited the world for its creation and user ability(可用性).Passing on the new concept and making it possible made a lot of difficulties for the company.Its unique creation with the concept of its acceptable behaviour on road was a big challenge to meet.Even after the successful prototype(原型)production of the transition car,it was wondered whether it would be allowed on the local roads or not.
Facing the big challenge,Terrafugia made efforts to pass its newly born plan on the roads from National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA) and Federal Administration Aviation (FAA).Keeping the safety of road and other users as primary concern,the authorities allowed the Terrafugia to land their creations on road.Still after the approval the compamy had to face various challenges to make this idea come true in real sense.
A major issue was the use of lighter plastic windscreens,as in normal cars the windscreens are of glass whereas in planes light weight polycarbonate(聚碳酸酯)wind shields are used to make the plane light in weight and give it a bird like effect to fly or glide.More over the transition tyres are used to handle the impacts of landing,so there needed to be a special allowance since there came a conflict between the tyres used for the plane and those for the conventional vehicles on the road.So the FAA allowed the company with a permission of 110pounds loading on the road.
The company seems to face a huge challenge in covering all aspects and making it a safe and comfortable ride with the minimum cost to the comsumers.Taking in account all there aspects,Terrafugia has delayed its final production and delivery to the customers till this year.
So if you are waiting for it to come out to the market and have a chance to check how you actually feel like sitting in it,you will have to wait a couple of more months!
28.The underlined word"await"in the first parpgraph means"B".
A.wait for
B.be going to happen or come to sb in the future
C.put down by force or authority
D.make sb understand or realize the truth of something
29.After the successful prototype production of the transition car,the company first concernedA.
A.if it would be allowed on the local roads
B.what material should be used to make its windscreens
C.how to choose good tyres for it
D.how to make it a safe and comfortable ride with the minimum cost to the consumers
30.The wind shields of planes are made ofC.
A.lighter plastic  
B.thicker glass
C.light weight polycarbonate
D.harder paper
31.What can we learn from the passage?D
A.Terrafugia is a very cheap and comfortable flying car for consumers.
B.After the approval of NHTSA and FAA,the company finally made its idea come true in real sense.
C.Terrafugia is to replace the conventional cars and planes.
D.These new flying cars now haven't been put on the market.
17.Traveling to Cuba as an American is like jumping through hoops(环).To help you better prepare for your trip,here are what you need to know about traveling to Cuba.
You wilI need to obtain a visa to travel to Cuba.You'11need to apply for the visa associated with your travel purposes,such as religious or medical travel,family visits,or people-to-people travel,which is the most common type of visa attained by Americans.
Because of the U.S.restriction,banks have not yet been able to establish a foothold in Cuba,meaning it's a cash-focused country.You can exchange currency at the José Martí International Airport or at your hotel.Keep in mind that there is a 10percent fee to exchange U.S.currency for Cuban currency.You'11also want to be sure to carry change for tips.
You can reserve a hotel room in Cuba online.Then you can call to confirm your reservation.You can also book through a travel agency.However,payment can be tricky:Even if you pay for your room through your travel agent,the restriction may prevent your payment from reaching your hotel in time(another reason to book well in advance).Come prepared with enough cash to cover the cost,just in case.
If you expect to find the blue waters,volcanic landscapes and beautiful villages of other nearby islands,you'11be disappointed.But beauty is not hard to find here.Old Havana-a UNESCO World Heritage Site-is home to splendid architecture and a bit of paladars(privately owned res-taurants).Limited economic opportunities have led Cubans to be creative in other ways.You can't go two blocks without coming across street paintings,art studios and joyful ballet music.

16.Would the world be more peaceful if women were in charge?A challenging new book by the Harvard University psychologist Steven Pinker says that the answer is"yes".
In The Better Angels of Our Nature,Pinker presents data showing that human violence,while still very much with us today,has been gradually declining.Moreover,he says,"over the long sweep of history,women have been and will be a peaceful force.Traditional war is a man's game:tribal women never band together to attack neighboring villages."As mothers,women tend to maintain peaceful conditions in which to bring up their children.
Skeptics(怀疑者)immediately reply that women have not made war simply because they have rarely been in power.If they were empowered as leaders.the disorder of the world would force them to make the same waxlike decisions that men do.Margaret Thatcher,Golda Meir,and Indira Gandhi were powerful women;all of them led their countries to war.
But it is also true that these women rose to leadership by playing according to the political rules of"a man's world."It was their success consistent with male values that enabled their rise to leadership in the first place.In a world in which women were in the majority of leadership positions,they might behave differently in power.
So we are left with the broader question:does gender(性别)really matter in leadership?In terms of traditional opinion,various psychologieM studies show that men tend towards the hard power ofcommand,while women are cooperative and naturally understand the soft power of attraction and persuasion.
The key choices about war and peace in our future will depend not on gender,but on how leaders combine hard and soft power skills to produce smart policies.Both men and women will make those decisions.
