1.One of the newest taboos (禁忌)  in  American society is the topic of fat.Unlike many other taboos,fat is a topic that America talk about often.It is not taboo to talk about fat; it's taboo to be fat.
The"in"look is thin.In the work world,most companies prefer youthful-looking,slim executives to sell their image and their products to the public.The thin look is associated with youth,vigor and success.The fat person,on the other hand,is thought of as lazy and lacking in energy,self-discipline and self-respect.After all,people think,how can people who care about themselves,and therefore the way they look,allow themselves to become fat?In an image conscious society like the U.S.,fat is"out".
It is not surprising,then,that millions of Americans have become obsessed (着迷)with staying slim and"in shape".The pursuit of youthful physical appearance is not,however,the only reason for America's obsession with diet and exercise.
Recent research has shown the great importance of diet and exercise for personal health.As in most technologically developed nations,the life-style of North Americans has changed very quickly during the course of last century.Modern machines do all the physical labor that people were once forced to do by hand.Cars and buses transport us quickly from point to point.As the result of inactivity and disuse,people's bodies can easily become weak and vulnerable to disease.In an effort to avoid such a fate,millions of Americans are spending more of their time exercising.
The effects of this new appreciation of the importance of exercise is clear:parks are filled with joggers and bicyclists,physical education programs are enjoying a newly-founded fame and many companies are providing exercise equipment for their employees to use during the work day.
28.In the United States,fat is somethingA.
A.people always talk about
B.not regarded as a taboo topic
C.people usually pay no attention to
D.belonging to the same treatment as other taboos
29.What do Americans think of thin people?B
A.Their work helps them to look youthful
B.They are energetic and successful.
C.Their appearances affects their behavior
D.They are lacking in self-discipline.
30.According to Paragraph 4,which of the following is an example of"inactivity?C
A.Mary does her housework by hand.
B.Celia takes part in a marathon
C.Cecilia goes to her office by car.
D.Margaret plays badminton every Saturday.
31.Why are parks filled with joggers and bicyclists?D
A.Because these parks are fit for sports.
B.Because people are enjoying prestigious status in parks.
C.Because people are taking part in physical education programs.
D.Because people now recognize they should do more exercise.

分析 本文介绍了一些过去不被人们认同的现象慢慢的被人们接受,接着又说明了现代社会里对于瘦,对于健康的追求.

解答 28.A  细节理解题,根据第一段Unlike many other taboos,fat is a topic that America talk about often.可知人们经常讨论肥胖问题,故选A.

30.C  推理判断题,根据第四段Modern machines do all the physical labor that people were once forced to do by hand.Cars and buses transport us quickly from point to point.可知以前人们可以骑车或者步行,而现在人们经常乘车,导致人们经常不活动,故选C.
31.D  推理判断题,根据最后一段The effects of this new appreciation of the importance of exercise is clear可知人们已经认识到了锻炼的重要性,故选D.

点评 考查学生的细节理解和推理判断能力.做细节理解题时一定要找到文章中的原句,和题干进行比较,再做出正确选择.在做推理判断题时不要以个人的主观想象代替文章的事实,要根据文章事实进行合乎逻辑的推理判断.

16.We can stay young forever.That is the message Dr.Shen Ziyin wants to give the world.And the Chinese doctor claims that he has found an answer to the problems of aging.
His solution is a herbal medicine to slow the process of aging.
Dr.Shen Ziyin has been trained in Western medicine.At the same time he studied traditional Chinese medicine.And,he has been working for the past forty years to put together the best of both and find a cure for aging.He has taken a hint from the ancient Chinese medicine system called"shen".
According to Shen,it is the kidney which adjusts the functioning of the body as well as its aging process.It is responsible for the level of activity that the human bodies go through.Studies conducted by Dr.Shen show that herbal medicine based on the shen system slow the aging process,says a report in The Telegraph newspaper.
We notice that when people grow old,they have reduced strength,loss of hair,backache,weakness in general,and wrinkles,among others.This happens because when people grow old,their bodies produce T-cells.These T-cells contain a particular substance called Fas.Fas makes the cells in the body destruct themselves.
So the only way to slow down aging is to slow the production of T-cells in the body.This can happen if people eat low calorie food.Then the body is not active enough to produce extra T-cells.But,is going hungry all the time a good price to pay for staying young?
This is where Dr.Shen's herbal medicine comes in.But how effective it will be,only time can tell.
28. How did Dr.Shen find the solution to the problem of aging?D
A.By studying Western medicine.
B.By learning traditional Chinese medicine.
C.By doing research on both Western and Chinese people.
D.By combining both Western and Chinese medicine.
29.What plays the most important role in keeping people young according to Shen?B
A.Medical treatment.
B.People's good kidney.
C.Level of people's activity.
D.Positive life attitude.
30.The reason why people become old is thatB.
A.their bodies are unable to fight diseases
B.their bodies produce T-cells
C.they have reduced strength,loss of hair
D.they become weaker and weaker
31.We can probably learn from the passage thatC.
A.people should try to quicken the production of T-cells in the body
B.the more Chinese herbal medicine people drink,the better for health
C.it remains unknown how effective Dr.Shen's herbal medicine is
D.producing more low calorie food allows people to keep young.
6.Twelve years ago,I arrived in Central Florida from Puerto Rico.I had heard of a job opportunity and decided to pursue it.But it never became a reality.I quickly learned that being alone without resources in an unfamiliar city was not a comfortable situation to be in.
Once my limited funds ran out I became homeless and spent a year and a half living on the streets of Orlando.Apart from feeling not being noticed and missing my family,I had to face another challenge-hunger.
For the first time in my life,I,as a foreign man,who had lived my life in the relative comfort of the middle class,understood the desperation someone feels when they don't get enough to eat.I clearly remembered having run a distance of more than 7miles on many occasions just to make it to a local feeding program before they closed at 7pm.
Once the need for food was met,the next challenge would arise-where to find a place to sleep for the night.Fortunately,local programs like the Coalition for the Homeless,Second Harvest Food Bank and the Wayne Densch Center were an important part of my ability to survive my painful experience.
With the assistance of these programs,I was accepted by a college scholarship program through the Coalition and obtained two degrees from Valencia.
My experience has helped me understand that devoting my life to helping others offers lasting rewards.Today,I am employed as Childhood Hunger Programs Manager at Second Harvest Food Bank and oversees the summer feeding,Hi-Five Kids Pack,and Kids Café programs.I am also proud to be able to distribute(分配) food resources to those wonderful programs and help hundreds more like me.

13.Any dog's love and loyalty can feel like a miracle.In a case,Mason,a one-year-old,may be the most amazing one on the earth.
The long-legged pup in North Smithfield,Alabama,was caught in a storm his family's garage last spring.His family thought he would be safe there,but the storm broke the garage door and Mason disappeared.
Dozens of people died that day.Mason's family was grateful just to be alive.But they were heartbroken at the thought that their sweet,playful companion had died.They combed the neighborhood,hoping by chance to find him,but Mason didn't turn up.Three weeks after the disaster,Mason's family were surprised to find Mason on the front door,so ecstatic to see his family.Where had Mason landed during the windstorm?What did he eat for those long weeks?How did he find his way back home?
  There was no answer to those questions and no time to work it out.Mason was terribly thin and couldn't stand properly.The family quickly sought help and learned their beloved dog had crawled home on broken front legs."He was simply on his elbows(肘),"says Dr.Doster.
  Doster had spent days reuniting pets with their owners and took an instant liking to the brave dog.He contacted Dr.William Lamb of Vulcan Park Animal Care in Birmingham,who volunteered to perform the needed surgery for free.Lamb inserted two metal plates and 17 screws(螺丝钉) in an operation that lasted more than three hours.Mason's injuries were so significant that he required weeks of recovery to heal.By the time he returned home to his family in September,he was jumping around again."There were no ill effects whatsoever,which is a miracle in itself,"Doster says.
