题目内容

【题目】 Several days ago, a 28-year-old Californian wife and mother of three children died from drinking too much water.【1】The contest was held by a local radio show and its organizers promised a free Wii video game machine to the contestant who drank the most water.

It was estimated that the woman who died drank approximately two gallons of water during the contest.【2】This information is particularly important for parents to pass on to their children. Foolish water-drinking contests are not uncommon among high school and university students, especially while playing cards.

【3】The answer to this question depends on your unique circumstances, including your diet, exercise habits, and environment. If you eat plenty of foods that are naturally rich in water, such as vegetables and fruits, you may not need to drink very much water at all. If you do not use much salt, your need for drinking water goes down even further.

Regardless of what your diet looks like, if you sweat on a regular basis because of exercise or a warm climate, you will need to supply your body with more water (through foods and/or liquids) than someone who does not sweat regularly.【4】However, some people don’t believe that it is a reliable indicator of how much water you need, as many people suffer with symptoms related to dehydration (脱水) and don’t seem to feel a need to drink water on a regular basis.

The main idea that I wish to share through this article is that it is not wise to drink several glasses of water per day without considering your diet, exercise habits, climate, and sense of thirst.【5】Remember, don’t drink too much water in a short period of time.

A. Then why do we need water in our daily life?

B. It shows us that drinking too much water can be very dangerous.

C. Then how much water should you think to best support your health?

D. Ultimately, the best guidance I can provide on this issue is to follow your sense of thirst.

E. Her body was found in her home shortly after she took part in a water-drinking contest.

F. And when you find yourself in need of water, you can get it from liquids and/or foods.

G. If you ask people if they would like a glass of water, they will almost always realize they are indeed thirsty.

【答案】

【1】E

【2】B

【3】C

【4】D

【5】F

【解析】

本文为一篇说明文。对如何进行合理地饮水进行了介绍。

【1】后文提到“比赛由当地一家电台举办”。E项“她参加了一次饮水比赛后不久在家中被发现。”“contest”与后文相对应。故选E项。

【2】前文提到“据估计，在比赛中死去的妇女喝了大约两加仑的水。” B项“它告诉我们喝太多的水是非常危险的。”是前句的结论。故选B项。

【3】后文提到“这个问题的答案取决于你的特殊情况，包括你的饮食、锻炼习惯和环境。”C项“那么你认为用多少水才能最好地维持你的健康呢？”为问句，与后文“The answer to”相对应。故选C项。

【4】后文提到“然而，有些人不相信这是一个可靠的指标”可知前句是描述一个需要喝水的量的指标。D项“最后，在这个问题上，我能提供的最好的指导就是追随你的渴望。”与后文“indicator”相对应。故选D项。

【5】后文提到“记住，不要在短时间内喝太多的水。”F项“当你发现自己需要水时，你可以从液体和/或食物中得到。”解释了后文不要短时间内喝太多水的原因。故选F项。

练习册系列答案

Later, as a university student, I managed on an extremely small student allowance. Students were ignored by banks then, because we were so poor, and there was no way I could have gotten credit, even if I had tried. We collected our allowance three times each year, deposited it to the best advantage and withdrew it little by little to last until the next payout of the allowance.

When our daughter, Sophie, began to walk, we made a purposeful choice to encourage her to use money wisely. We often comment when the TV tells us “You owe it to yourself to borrow our money"—to whom do we really owe it? And what would happen if our income were reduced or dried up? Now, as a 12-year-old child, it’s almost embarrassing to see her tight “financial policy”，and wait for the unavoidable holiday sales to buy what she wants.

I agree that financial education in schools is very important. But the root of the problem lies with us and the way we behave as role models to those who follow.

There was a man who had a lot of money but hated sharing with it, even with his wife.

After the casket was closed, his wife shouted to wait a minute and put the box inside. Everyone was amazed, thought she was a woman of her promise. After the casket buried, one of the man’s dearest friends asked the wife if she had really put all the man’s money in the casket. The wife immediate answered that she had to keep her words. She said she had put all his money into her account and then wrote him a check.
