17.According to its label (标签),a pint of H?agen-Dazs ice cream contains four servings (份).But when was the last time you measured out a fourth of a container of Cookies & Cream,then put the rest away for another day?
For many people,the reality is that much of a pint can easily disappear in one sitting.A large package of Cool Ranch Doritos lists a single serving as roughly 12 chips,but it's hard to imagine keeping count of every last chip as you dig into a bag.
Canned soup may be one of the more obvious examples.According to its label,a single serving of Campbell's Chunky Classic Chicken Noodle soup is one cup-just under half a can-and contains about 790milligrams of sodium (钠).But in a national survey of 1,000consumers,only 10 percent of people said they would eat a one-cup portion.Most,about 64percent,said they would eat an entire can at one time,taking in 1,840milligrams of sodium in a sitting.That is roughly 80percent of the 2,300milligrams recommended as the upper limit for daily salt intake.
In the face of increasing criticism,the Food and Drug Administration (F.D.A.) has been under pressure for years to force food makers to include more realistic serving-size information on their labels.The agency regulates the serving sizes that can be listed on packages by providing food makers with detailed instructions to follow,which list the amounts of a specific food that a person would"customarily consume"in a typical sitting.But critics say these so-called reference amounts are often laughably small because they're based in part on surveys of eating behavior that were carried out in the 1970s,when Americans ate less food and portions had not been supersized.
Now,in an effort to emphasize the problems with some labels,the Center for Science in the Public Interest,a consumer advocacy group,has picked out what it says are some of the worst offenders.At the top of its list are labels for canned soups,ice cream,coffee creamers and nonstick cooking sprays-all of which grossly understate (少报) the calories,sodium and saturated fat the average person typically consumes when eating these foods.
The F.D.A.has been in the process of revising existing food labels since 2005.But the agency has been somewhat tight-lipped about where it is in the process and any changes it plans to make,like whether labels should include details on added sugars or just total sugar,for example,and whether calories should be emphasized less or more than they are now.
This fall,the Institute of Medicine is expected to release its own report on food packaging and labeling as well.

63.According to the passage,when eating canned soup,C.
A.people are aware of the amount they take in
B.people are worried about the amount they take in
C.many people take in too big an amount unconsciously
D.most people follow the instructions on the label closely
64.The writer tries to convince us thatB.
A.food consumers are to blame for eating so carelessly
B.food makers show little consideration for consumers
C.most labels on food packages give false information
D.the amount of food in one package is often too large
65.What does the writer seem to think of the F.D.A's efforts?B
A.Considerable.  B.Unsatisfying.  C.Unreasonable.  D.Effective.
66.Which might be the proper title for the passage?A
A.Problem with serving sizes              B.Trend of packaging and labeling
C.Relationship between diet and health    D.Efforts to reduce criticism.

分析 本文属于说明文阅读,作者通过这篇文章主要向我们描述了食物制造商不为消费者考虑制造不实的食物标签损害了消费者的健康,FDA尽管对此作出了努力但是效果微弱.

解答 63.C.细节理解题.根据文章第一段"But in a national survey of 1,000consumers,only 10 percent of people said they would eat a one-cup portion.Most,about 64percent,said they would eat an entire can at one time"可知吃罐头汤时很多人在不知不觉中吃多了;故选C.
64.B.推理判断题.根据文章第四段"In the face of increasing criticism,the Food and Drug Administration (F.D.A.) has been under pressure for years to force food makers to include more realistic serving-size information on their labels"可知食物制造商给消费者很少考虑;故选B.
65.B.推理判断题.根据文章第四段"But critics say these so-called reference amounts are often laughably small because they're based in part on surveys of eating behavior that were carried out in the 1970s,when Americans ate less food and portions had not been supersized"可知作者对f.d.a的努力结果是不满意的;故选B.
66.A.主旨大意题.通读全文,可知文章主要讲了食物制造商不为消费者考虑制造不实的食物标签损害了消费者的健康,FDA尽管对此作出了努力但是效果微弱,因此最佳标题为关于服务型号的问题;故选A.

点评 考察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,再做出正确的选择.在做推理判断题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.

12.Being sociable looks like a good way to add years to your life.Relationships with family,friends,neighbours,even pets,will all do the trick,but the biggest longevity (长寿) boost seems to come from marriage or an equivalent relationship.The effect was first noted in 1858 by William Fair,who wrote that widows and widowers (鳏夫) were at a much higher risk of dying than their married peers.Studies since then suggest that marriage could and as much as seven years to a man's life and two to a woman's.The effect holds for all rouses of death,whether illness,accident or self-harm.
Even if the odds are stacked against you,marriage can more than compensate.Linda Waite from the University of Chicago has found that.I married older man with heart disease can expect to live nearly four years longer than an unmarried man with a healthy heart.Likewise,a married man who smokes more than a pack a day is likely to live as long as a divorced man who doesn't smoke.There's a flip side,however,as partners are more likely to become ill or die in the couple of years following their spouse's death,and caring for a spouse with mental disorder can leave you with some of the same severe problems.
Even so,the odds favour marriage.In a 30-year study of more than 10,000 people,Nicholas Christakis of Harvard Medical School describes how all kinds of social networks have similar effects.
So how does it work?The effects are complex,affected by socio-economic factors,health-service provision,emotional support and other more physiological mechanisms.For example,social contact can boost development of die brain and immune system,leading to better health and less chance of depression?later in life.People in supportive relationships may handle stress better.Then there are the psychological 9 benefits of a supportive partner.
A life partner,children and good friends arc all recommended if you aim to live to 100.The ultimate  social network is still being mapped out,hut Christakis says:"People are interconnected,so their health
is interconnected.

A.social life provides an effective cure for illness

D.marriage contributes a great deal to longevity

2.As the world prepares to mark the 100th anniversary of International Women's Day on March 8,a new report details the progress and challenges girls face in getting an education.
The report-from the Education for All Fast Track Initiative-highlights the importance of girls'education for economic(经济的) and social development.It follows progress in Ethiopia,Burkina Faso,Ghana,Guinea,Mauritania,Mozambique and Niger.
Prema Clarke,author of Fast-tracking Girls'Education,says,"Progress for girls'education is that they can leave their homes,leave their families and come to a place to study and to learn.And that's a big achievement because otherwise these girls have to stay at home,looking after their brothers and sisters,doing the cooking or doing the cleaning."
She says progress toward the Millennium Development Goals and those of Education for All"is allowing and enabling girls and forcing countries to look at this issue(问题) and to ensure that interventions (干预) help girls attend school."
Benefits
Improving education for girls brings many benefits,says Clarke."It means that girls can then enter the workforce.They can look after their own families much more effectively.They can prevent child death rate.They can educate their own girl children when they begin to expand their own families."Studies show that having an educated female population helps to improve a country's health and economic well-being.
Warnings
The report says,"In developing countries,too many girls are not in school,and many girls face continuing health risks and danger just walking to class."
"Especially in the fragile and post-conflict countries and in many of the African countries,this is a real issue,"she says.Till now,the interventions have been so focused on providing schooling and providing teachers,etc.And now I think there is much more expanded focus on looking at specific(特定的)communities of girls within at-risk groups that now need much more specific attention and much more creative solutions(解决方法) to help them attend school."

64.The underlined word"highlights"in Paragraph 2probably meansB.
A.shows           B.stresses           C.remarks          D.improves
65.According to Clarke,improving education can provide girls with all the opportunities EXCEPTD.
A.to educate their own girl children     B.to prevent child death rate
C.to enter the workforce                 D.to study abroad
66.This passage is intended toA.
A.promote the progress in girls'education
B.talk about the benefits of improving girls'education

9.Ask most people how they define the American Dream and chances are they'll say,"Success."The dream of individual opportunity has been present in America since Europeans discove red"The New World"in the Western Hemisphere.Early immigrants like Hector St.Jean de Crevecoeur highly praised the freedom and opportunity to be found in this new land.His enthusiastic descriptions of a classless society where anyone could attain success through honesty and hard work fired the imaginations of many European readers.In Letters from an American Farmer (1782)he wrote,"We are all excited at the spirit of an industry which is unfettered (无拘无束的) and unrestrained,because each person works for himself …We have no princes,for whom we toil (干苦力活),starve,and bleed.We are the most perfect society now existing in the world."The promise of a land where"the rewards of a man's industry follow with equal steps the progress of his labor"drew poor immigrants from Europe and fueled national expansion into the western lands.
    Our national historical story is full of illustration of the American success story.For instance,Benjamin Franklin was the very model of the self-educated,self-made man,who rose from modest origins to become a well-known scientist,philosopher,and statesman.In the nineteenth century,Horatio Alger,a writer of fiction for young boys,became American's best-selling author with his rags-to-riches tales.The idea of success impressed us:we spend millions every year reading about the rich and famous,learning how to"make a fortune in real estate(房地产) with no money down,"and"dressing for success."The story of success has even affected our personal relationships:today it's as important to be"successful"in marriage or parenthoods as it is to come out on top in business.
    But dreams easily turn into nightmares.Every American who hopes to"make it"also knows the fear of failure,because the story of success implies comparison between the haves and the have-nots,the stars and the unknown crowd.Under pressure of the story,we become lost in status symbols:we try to live in the"right"neighborhoods,wear the"right"clothes,and eat the"rig ht"foods.These symbols of distinction assure us and others that we believe strongly in the fundamental equality of all,yet try as hard as we can to separate ourselves from our fellow citizens.
68.What is the nature of the American Dream according to Crevecoeur?C
A.People are free to develop their power of imagination.
B.People who are honest and work hard can succeed.
C.People are free from being used and treated badly.
D.People can fully enjoy individual freedom.
69.By saying"the rewards of a man's industry follow with equal steps the progress of his labor",the author meansB.
A.the more hard-working one is,th e bigger his returns are
B.hard work ensures the growth of an industry
C.a man's business should be developed step by step
D.a company's success depends on its employees'hard work
70.It can be inferred from the last sentence of Paragraph 2 thatA.
A.business success often contributes to a successful marriage
B.Americans wish to succeed in every aspect of life
C.good personal relationships lead to busines s success
D.successful business people provide good care for their children
71.What is the paradox(矛盾)of American culture according to the author of the passage?B
A.The American road to success is full of nightmares.
B.Status symbols are not a real symbol of a person's wealth.
C.The American Dream is nothing but an empty dream.
D.What Americans fight for often disagrees with their beliefs.
