题目内容

Every fall, many Jewish people around the world celebrate the holiday of Sukkot (结茅节). They build huts (茅舍) in their backyards, and if it is warm and dry outside, they live in those huts for seven days and nights. Living in a sukkah (苏克棚) is meant to remind Jewish people that for 40 years their ancestors (祖先) lived in huts in the desert. In modern times, it has also become a reminder that many people do not have a place to call home.

In 2010, an American reporter named Hoshua Foer was building his own sukkah when he came up with an idea. He wondered what it would be like to have a competition for people around the world to use their imaginations to create modern sukkahs. It would be a design competition. But the sukkah would have to be built according to Jewish laws. These laws are found in an ancient book called Talmud. Some of the laws are surprising!

* It can be built on a boat.

* It must have at least two and a half walls.

Joshua got in touch with his friend Roger Bennett. They announced the competition in May 2010. More than 600 designers sent plans. Twelve were chosen as finalists (参加决赛者). Then those finalists were each given money so they could build their sukkahs in a park in New York City. People building the final sukkahs were from the United States, France, England, Japan, and Germany.

More than 17,000 people voted (投票) for the winners. At the end of the competition, the sukkahs were sold. The money was then given to a group that helps homeless people.

60. We can learn from Paragraph 1 that _______.

A. Jewish ancestors lived in huts for many years

B. the holiday of Sukkot is celebrated in spring

C. Jewish people spend seven days building huts during the holiday

D. the holiday is meant to remind people many people still live in the desert

61. According to Joshua Foer, _______.

A. imaginations are very important to win the competition

B. sukkahs can be built at any place and in any shape

C. the winning sukkahs will be included in Talmud

D. competitors should follow laws made by him

62. Which of the following is TRUE about the first competition?

A. More than 600 sukkahs were built in a park in New York City.

B. The winning sukkahs were sold to help homeless people.

C. Only American people took part in the competition.

D. There were 12 judges voting for the winners.

63. What’s the passage mainly about?

A. How Jewish people design and build modern sukkahs.

B. How Jewish people celebrate the holiday of Sukkot.

C. A Jewish holiday reminds people of their ancestors.

D. A Jewish tradition becomes the idea for a competition.

Many college-bound freshmen are worrying about more than just who their roommates will be this fall. They may also be nervous about the well-known fact that they are likely to gain weight this school year. Or will they? While many of us remember the extra weight that showed up right around the start of our college careers, we are not always clear on how much weight we realize gained or why.

Many nutrition experts and psychologists think that it is the change in environment and the stress of a new beginning that cause the typical college freshmen to gain extra pounds. As students start a new stage of their lives, many eat to deal with the stress of change or loneliness. Often, college students are making meals or choosing foods independently for the first time in their lives. If they live in the college dormitory, they have a wide variety of foods to select from that may be higher in calories and fatter than the foods they consumed living at home. In addition, college social events usually center around food. I clearly remember sitting in my dorm cafeteria for two or three hours on a Saturday morning socializing with my new friends. Instead of eating only one meal, we would start with breakfast, eat throughout the duration of our socializing, and finish with lunch. Food also makes an appearance after late-night parties, as part of a school day, or simply to break the monotony(单调 ).

So will this year's typical freshmen really gain 15 pounds? According to a 2006 Tufts University study, students enrolling in college this fall will gain weight, but maybe not the assumed 15 pounds. Based on the students surveyed, the study found that men can expect to gain an average of 6 pounds and women an average of 4.5 pounds during the freshman year.

According to the passage, it is obvious that __________.

A. the foods the freshmen had at home may be healthier than those in the dorm cafeteria

B. to break the monotony, the students should start with breakfast, and finish with lunch

C. the students should eat to deal with the stress of change or loneliness in new situations

D. the boys may gain less pounds than the girls during the first year in the college

Nutrition experts and psychologists think that __________.

A. students should get used to the stress of change through foods they had at home

B. the new environment and the stress have something to do with the students' extra pounds

C. students should know in what way they gain so much weight

D. choosing foods independently can make people lose weight naturally

From the writer's experience, the writer thinks that ____________.

A. foods in the dorm cafeteria are all higher in calories and fatter

B. the best way to break the monotony is through breakfast, lunch and supper

C. students in college will gain an average of about 5.25 pounds every fall

D. social events in the college are usually celebrated around food

This passage is mainly about ______________.

A how and why the freshmen gain extra pounds

B. the experience of the freshmen in the college

C. the freshmen with trouble in a new environment

D. the views of the nutrition experts and psychologists about gaining weight
