18.Scientists have made sure that most of the overweight people who try to lose weight by cutting calories or exercising will return to their former size.Fewer than 10percent of the 12million British people who go on a diet each year succeed in losing significant amounts of weight and most of those who do put on all weight again within a year. The study of 25,000people provides further evidence of the popularity of‘yo-yo dieting'where people on a diet get into a cycle of losing weight and regaining it.The scientists,from the Medical Research Council's National Survey of Health and Development,have concluded it is better to avoid getting fat at the beginning.They followed 5,362men and women from their birth in 1946and 20,000from birth in 1958,measuring their weight and blood pressure and judging their lifestyles.The researchers found both groups began gaining weight in the 1980s and have steadily increased in size ever since.
Dr Rebecca Hardy,the council's programme leader on body size,said:"Once people become overweight,they continue upwards.They hardly ever go back down.They may lose some weight but very few get back to normal.The best policy is to prevent people becoming overweight.For men weight goes up steadily through life.For women it starts slowly and accelerates in the mid-thirties."
But the findings of the study do not mean dieting is pointless,as eating less and taking more exercise can increase fitness and lower blood pressure.In 2009,a quarter of adults and 14percent of children were obese(过度肥胖的),according to the Department of Health's latest Health Survey for England.It has been predicted that 60percent of us will be obese by 2050,leading to even more cases of diabetes,heart disease and cancer.Experts said we are programmed to put on weight rather than lose it.Dieting can make this tendency worse as decreasing calorie intake causes the body to go into starvation mode and reduce the amount of energy it naturally expends,making it even harder to lose weight.
60.According to Dr Rebecca Hardy,which of the following is TRUE?B
A.It is easier for men to lose weight than women.′
B.Never to become fat is the best way of keeping a good shape.
C.Once people lose weight,they never put on weight again.
D.The fact that fat people keep their weight upwards is unusual.
61.The author says"the study's findings do not mean dieting is pointless"becauseD.
A.the study lacks believable facts
B.obese people are confident in losing weight
C.dieting can never make a few people lose weight
D.dieting and sports help to keep people free from some diseases
62.From the last paragraph,we can learn thatC.
A.being overweight is a lasting problem through the human history
B.the idea that people lose weight with mechanisms is practical
C.decreasing calorie intake makes it even harder to lose weight
D.by 2050more and more people will have got unfit because of losing weight
63.Which of the following can serve as the best title of the passage?A
A.Fat people can't really keep the weight off.
B.Which is better:cutting calories or exercising?
C.A new study on people's health.
D.How to go on a healthy diet.

分析 研究表明人一旦超重就很难真的减肥,即使你通过节食和运动.想知道为什么吗?请看文章.

解答 60-63.BDCA
60题答案:B考查细节推理,根据文章第二段的The best policy is to prevent people becoming overweight.最好的办法是阻止人们超重.可知本题答案为B选项.
61题答案:D考查细节推理,根据后面的…as eating less and taking more exercise can increase fitness and lower blood pressure.因为少吃多动会增加健康、降低血压.可知本题答案为D选项.
62题答案:C考查细节推理,根据最后一段的Dieting can make this tendency worse as decreasing calorie intake causes the body to go into starvation mode and reduce the amount of energy it naturally expends,making it even harder to lose weight.节食会使这种趋势更加糟糕,因为卡路里摄入量的减少导致身体进入饥饿状态的模式并且会减少身体所自然释放的能量,最终导致减肥更加艰难.可知本题答案为C选项.
63题答案:A考查主旨大意,本文主要讲的是研究表明人一旦超重就很难真的减肥,即使你通过节食和运动并解释了其中的原因.故本题答案为A选项.

点评 本题是新闻报道类阅读理解.这类题材是高考常考的内容,它注重考查考生对整体内容的理解,有一定难度,做题时要求考生在通读全文了解大意的基础再结合题目要求以及上下文做出正确的判断.

8.(1)A one-person solar car that can be transformed into an electric moped ( 助力车 ),a door light powered by opening and closing a door and a cloak (披风) of invisibility are three innovative inventions recently created by college students.
     Here comes the sun
(2)The 100-kilogram blue solar car invented by 10 students at Southwest University's College of Engineering and Technology in Chongqing has a top with four solar panels that charge the battery that powers the auto."The car is easy to drive.A person without any driving experiences could learn to use it in several minutes.It fits for campus and the golf course,"He Daijie,the leader of the invention team and a senior at the college,told the Global Times."Or if one prefers it can be turned into an electric moped,"he said.
     Seeing the light
     (3)Four students at Shenyang University of Technology in Liaoning Province invented a door light  powered by electric energy produced by opening and closing a door.
    (4)When people open or close a door,tlie door produces mechanical energy that could be turned into  electric energy.After numerous tests for several months,the students fixed a joint lever (liE^ff) above  the door that connects the door and a speeding gear case to drive a generator attached to the door and  send energy to storage cells.The storage cells provide ______ for the light.
    Invisibility cloak
(5)Many people daydream of an invisibility cloak like Harry Potter's and three graduate students in  optics (光学) from Nanjing University of Aeronautics and Astronautics (航空航天) have actually  nvented  one.Special Ferro-electric (铁电体) materials on the cloak reduce the scattering of light of an object  wrapped with the cloak,and thus making the object"invisible,"according to Li Peining,one of the three  students.Li said he is confident about the future of the cloaks."With the appearance and application of new meta-materials,the cloak could be used in military battles and communications,"he said.
76.What is the main idea of the passage?It introduces three innovative inventions created by college students. 
77.Fill in the blank in Paragraph 4 with proper words.(no more than 3 words)electric energy/electricity
78.Which invention do you think is environmentally friendly?Why?(no more than 15 words)."Seeing the light"/"The door light".Because it can save much electricity.Or"Here comes the sun"/"The solar car".Because it can make use of solar power and save gas. 
79.What does the underlined word"it"in para 2 mean?(no more than 5 words)The solar car./The one-person solar car. 
80.In which fields are invisibility cloaks used?(no more than 10 words)In military battles and communications..
