【题目】Passage 3

Restaurant chefs, home cooks, and foodies — people who love good food — often say that we eat with all of our senses.

First, we use our sense of sight to appreciate how a meal is presented, either on a dinner plate or a dining table. 1 Additionally, with our sense of smell, we breathe in the mouth-watering smell rising up from the meal. Finally, we enjoy the food with our sense of taste.

But does sound also affect our dining experience? A new report from researchers at Brigham Young University said yes. Hearing is often called ＂the forgotten food sense.＂ says Ryan Elder, and assistant professor of marketing at Brigham Young University. 2 On the other hand, watching loud television or listening to loud music while eating can hide such noises. And this could lead to overeating.

During the experiments, the test subjects wore headphones and listened to noise at either a high or low audio level. 3 The study found that subjects who listened to the higher volume noise ate more pretzels than those with the low audio levels.

Elder says that when hiding the sounds of eating, like when you watch television or listen to loud music while eating, we take away the sense of hearing. 4 The researchers are calling this the ＂crunch effect＂, which they admit may not seem like much at one meal. But over a week, a month, or a year, all that food can really add up. So hearing the sound of eating /span>does reduce the amount of food you consume.

5 Hearing the noises of your meal as you eat could also help you to be more mindful of the experience and perhaps help you to enjoy it more.

A. In fact, beautiful food is healthier than food that doesn’t look appealing.

B. But besides not overeating, there is another benefit.

C. And this may cause you to eat more than you would normally.

D. Then researchers gave them a hard snack: pretzels.

E. Our sense of touch can also be important when preparing or sharing food.

F. He notes that soft and sweet sound is thought to enhance the taste of food.

G. He says that if people notice the sound the food makes as they eat it, they might eat less.

【题目】Passage 4

4 Key Strategies for Running to Lose Weight

As one of the most active exercises out there, running is an extremely efficient way to burn calories and lose weight. A 150-pound person will burn approximately 100 calories per mile when running. 1

1. Healthy Eating is the First Step

If you want to lose weight by running, keep in mind that you’ll only lose pounds if you burn more calories than you consume. To lose a pound, you have to burn, through exercise or life functions, about 3500 calories. 2 Runners do have special nutrition needs, but the basic principles for healthy eating still apply. Try choosing smaller portions of high-fat and high-calorie foods and eating more whole grains, fruits, and vegetables.

2. Follow a training schedule

Sticking to a training schedule is a simple way to stay motivated to run. 3 So it’s much harder to postpone or skip workouts. Following a schedule can also help you avoid a running injury by not increasing your mileage too quickly.

3. Run regularly

If you don’t want to follow a schedule, you still need to have some consistency with your running because you won’t lose weight by running once a week. It’s best to get some activity every day. 4 If you find that your motivation to run is suffering, follow some necessary tips to get inspired.

4. 5

Incorporating speed work or interval training (running at a very fast speed for short intervals of time) into your running routine can also help your weight loss efforts. Speed work burns a great amount of calories in a short period of time. You’ll also increase your muscle mass, causing you to burn more calories throughout the day.

A. Keep it challenging

B. Eat for Performance

C. You’ll know exactly what you need to do every day and each run builds on the next.

D. So you’ll need to combine running with a healthy diet.

E. If you’re hoping to use running to lose weight, here’s some advice on how to be successful.

F. Here are ways to improve your running motivation.

G. But if that’s not possible, try to shoot for at least 3-4 times per week.

【题目】Passage2(2017届河北衡水中学高三七调)

Theme park getaways are popular with families, but they surely aren’t cheap. Happily, there are some golden rules of ticket-buying that apply to pretty much every theme park, and they can help you chip away at the cost of tickets. 1

●Buy tickets online.

Never ever pay the walk-up ticket price at a theme park. 2 .You’re guaranteed to save a significant sum-sometimes as much as $$ 20 per ticket-even for same-day tickets.

●Buy in advance.

3 .For instance, Knott’s Berry Farm in Buena Park, California, slices off $$25 per ticket when you make your purchase at least three days ahead.

● 4 .

This one is a universal no-brainer. Single-day ticket prices at Cedar Point in Sandusky, Ohio, are about 30 percent less than admission on Saturdays and Sundays. But the big bonus is that lines will be much shorter, allowing you to spend less time waiting in lines and more time having fun.

●Go in the afternoon.

5 .For example, Hershey park’s sunset tickets allow entry after 4 pm or 5 pm, depending on the day. You’ll still get between four to six hours of fun before the park closes, and you’ll pay up to 50 percent less than the full-day ticket price.

A. Avoid weekends.

B. Buy more tickets than you need.

C. Here are some ways to lower your theme park spending.

D. At larger parks, you’ll save money when you buy a package.

E. Instead, visit the theme park website and print out your tickets before you go.

F. Some/span> parks offer deeply discounted tickets for visitors arriving later in the day.

G. Most theme parks offer a price cut if you buy tickets at least a few days before you arrive.

【题目】Passage4（2017届重庆市第八中学高三适应性考试）

We’ve all heard about the power of our attitude, and it’s our attitude that determines how much we succeed in life.

All the things that you have been through, all the people you have met and interacted with can have an impact on your attitude. If you think that all these factors have molded you into a person with a poor attitude towards life, there is no need to worry. 1 .

Identify and understand what you want to change.

The first step towards change is clearly understanding what needs to be changed. 2 .When it comes to changing your attitude, you need to do an honest and in-depth self-evaluation so you could point out exactly which of your traits need to be improved or totally changed.

3 .

Find someone who has the kind of attitude that you want to have, and let his or her life give you inspiration and encouragement to move beyond your temporary failures in your journey towards becoming a better person.

Choose the right company.

As they say, ＂Bad company corrupts good character.＂ You don’t expect yourself to be able to change if you go on surrounding yourself with people who possess all the negative traits that you want to change. Consider befriending new people, especially those who are optimistic and have a healthy attitude towards life. 4 .

Believe that you are able to change.

5 .If you don’t believe in yourself or believe that you or your life can change, it just won’t happen—you willeither never start, or give up quickly that you won’t have even given yourself the opportunity to succeed.

A. Look for a role model.

B. There is always an opportunity for change.

C. Setting clear goals is the key to success in any endeavor.

D. Think about how your attitude change will affect your life.

E. The greatest obstacle is our inability to trust in what we can do.

G. Fix your mind on the things that would come as a result of your attitude change.
