first two years of life suffer lasting damage.They may be underdeveloped or underweight.They may suffer from poor health or limited intelligence.Besides,these children are more likely to drop out of school and earn less money as adults.The report notes that too little food is not the only cause of poor nutrition.Many children who live in homes with plenty of food suffer for other reasons.The study also connects malnutrition(营养不良)to economic growth in poor countries.A lack of nutrition in early childhood can cost developing nations up to three percent of their yearly earnings.Many of these countries have same economic problems that are growing at a rate of two to three percentyearly.The study suggests that poor countries could possibly double their economic growth if they improved nutrition.Africa and South Asia are affected the most by poor nutrition.The study says about half of all children in India do not get enough good food.The World Bank study also notes that rates of malnutrition in South Asia are almost double those in central and southern Africa.Other parts of the world are also seriously affected,including Indonesia,Uzbekistan,Yemen,Guatemala and Peru.The study recommends that developing countries change their ways to deal with malnutrition.Instead of directly providing food,the study suggests educational programs in health and nutrition for mothers with young babies.It also recommends cleaner living conditions and improvements in health care.The World Bank nutrition specialist Meera Shekar said the period of life between pregnancy(怀孕)and two years is very ernments should take direct action to improve nutrition for children during this period.1.Paragraph 3 mainly tells us .A.malnutrition is the most serious problem in developing countriesB.the relat ionship between malnutrition and a nation’s economic growthC.how to develop economics quicklyD.economy is developing slowly in developing countries2.The underlined word “recommends” in the fifth paragraph probablymeans .A.provesB.showsC.suggestsD.orders3.What would be the BEST title for the passage?A.Poor Nutrition in the Developing CountriesB.A New World Bank ReportC.Problems in Africa and South AsiaD.Care for Children4.According to the World Bank report,which of the following is a way to deal with malnutrition?A.Control the population growth.B.Pay attention to the economic growth in developing countries.C.Provide enough food directly to poor children.cate mothers with young babies in health and nutrition.3. 阅读理解The names of the hurricanes are chosen from a list of names inalphabetical(字母的)order.Female and male names are chosen alternatively.For example,the first hurricane of the year will be called “Alexandra”,the second “Bernard”,the third “Catherine”,etc.When newspapers and radio describe the damage caused by a hurricane named Hazel,girls named Hazel are probably teased(取笑)by their friends.To keep out of trouble,the Weather Bureau says,“Any resemblance between hurricane names and the names of particular girls is purely accidental(偶然的).”Some women became angry because hurricanes are given their names,but many other women are proud to see their names make headlines.They don’t even care that they are the names of destructive storms.Because more women seem to listen to like it than dislike it,the Weather Bureau has decided to continue using girl’s names for hurricanes.In some ways a hurricane is like a person.After it is born,it grows and develops,and then becomes old and dies.Each hurricane has a character of its own.Each follows its own path through the world,and people remember it long after it has gone.So it is natural to give hurricanes names,and to talk about them as if they were alive.1.The underlined word “resemblance” probably means .A.samenessB.differenceC.troubleD.success2.What happens to girls named Hazel according to the passage?A.They suffer from hurricanes.B.The Weather Bureau looks for them.C.Others often make fun of them.D.They can’t find boyfriend.3.According to the passage,which is more reasonable?A.Some women feel unhappy because hurricanes are given their names.B.A lot of men complain the Weather Bureau.C.Many women want to be known.D.All the hurricanes are caused by women.4.Public opinions make the Weather Bureau .A.consider the disagreement of some womenB.go on naming hurricanes after women hurricanes after menD.look for a new method to name hurricanes5.It is natural to give hurricane names because .A.they become old and dieB.all of them should be rememberedC.each hurricane has its own day to comeD.each hurricane has its own character三、完形填空4. 完形填空I shall never forget the day when the earthquake took place.It was about 5 o’clock in the afternoon and I was __________ to my daughter’s school.Our plan was to go __________ together.I’d stopped at a __________ to get some fresh fruit.We like to have some fruit to eat __________ our swim.I was driving along a high road on the way.

单元综合检测(一)Ⅰ.阅读理解(共15小题；每小题2.5分，满分37.5分)AWhen the telephone rings late at night，most women guess it must be one of only four or five people calling.A sister? Maybe.An emergency? Possibly.A mother? Probably not at that time of night.Much more probably it is a close female friend calling to tell you that she is heartbroken because she has split up with her boyfriend again or perhaps simply that a good movie has just started on TV.At a time when families are spread far and wide and marriages often end in divorce，friendships are becoming more and more important.Erika，a 32yearold lawyer，is strengthened by her tenyear friendship with her married friend Jane.“I was very sick one night，so I called Jane at about 3：00 a．m.to talk about it，” she says.“She was very supportive and even came over to take me to the doctor's.”As American TV shows like Friends have become more popular，many of us are beginning to see the value of such shows like this tell us that our romantic relationships may not last，but we need to keep in touch with our close friends if we want to survive.With Erika's family 200 miles away，it is Jane who keeps a spare set of keys to Erika's apartment and waters her plants whenever she is away.“Having Jane around gives me a certain amount of freedom.It is not the kind of thing that you could ask anyone to do，but she k nows I would do the same for her.” Jane，who may move to a different city soon，is worried about leaving such a support system of friends.“My friends have more to do with my life than my parents and，therefore，I don't have to spend a lot of time explaining things to them.Friends are more up to date with what is happening.”【语篇解读】本文是一篇议论文。

阶段综合检测(三)Ⅰ.阅读理解(共15小题；每小题2分，满分30分)AThe beach may seem like an inviting place to run on a cool summer morning，but is running on the sand good for your body? It can be，but it's important to know the challenges that some beach runners experience.Running on the beach can be a good thing.It's certainly different from running on the pavement or a track.For starters，sand can be a challenge because it has an uneven (不平坦的) surface.As you push off，you're going to lose some of your push as the sand moves.So，you're not going to be able to push yourself forward as you would on a track or a pavement.But this unevenness has an upside:_It gives your body an extra workout，forcing you to exercise muscles that don't get as much use during runs on firm surfaces.For instance，your feet，ankles and lower back might feel sorer and more tired than usual after a beach run just because that surface is constantly moving and changing step to step.You also might feel sore afterward because beaches tend to slope (倾斜) down to the water.If you're going for a long run on the beach，you might notice that one side of your body might feel sorer because you're putting more pressure on it due to the slope.Some beach runners prefer to run barefoot.However，if you're not used to barefoot running，start slowly and don't run long distances at first.That's because running barefoot uses different muscles than running with shoes does，and it's important to strengthen these muscles and adapt (使适应) your feet.If you want to run barefoot，it's great，but ease into it.In spite of these challenges，running on the sand can be a smart choice for you，because running on softer ground surfaces can reduce muscle damage.【语篇解读】语篇类型是说明文，主题语境是健康。

阶段综合检测(一)(时间：100分钟；满分：120分)Ⅰ.阅读理解(共15小题；每小题2分，满分30分)AWhen it's time to plan your child's party，let your imagination go.Games，crafts，songs，stories and plays all can be part of the fun.The trick is choosing what is right for the age of your guests.Preschooler partiesSimple songs，stories and games will work well for a preschooler party.Consider renting cartoons or movies，having a puppet show，or making up a story using your guests as characters.For some reason，parents seem to take an easier，more expensive route，and take kids to Chuckie Cheese，McDonald's，or have to have a huge pizza party.However，preschoolers are easy to please!Five to eight year oldsFor 5 to 8 year olds，you'll need more room to move，like a family room，basement，garage，or backyard.If your party is indoors，check the guest list and plan some games and activities in advance.Finger painting，drawing and guessing games can all be played indoors without disturbing (打扰) the neighbours.Nine year olds and upBy the time the kids are nine，the party will most likely be all boys or all girls，and it's natural to plan activities around the kid's special interests，like a roller skating party，a football game or a baseball game.Should a child have a party every year?When I was growing up，a party was held every three years.I had one on my first birthday，when I was three，when I was six，and nine，and my big party was when I was thirteen.When I turned sixteen，my dad took me to a very special restaurant to eat.When I asked my dad why he took me there，he said he wanted to show me that there was more to life than what I was seeing.【语篇解读】当父母们为自己的孩子举办生日聚会时，其内容和形式可以丰富多彩，但务必要考虑到孩子们的年龄段。

]BDuring the 15th century，spices(香料)from India were very popular in Europe，however，the only way to travel from Europe to India was over land.This was a long and expensive trip.The King of Portugal realized if he could find a way to get to India by sailing on the ocean，he would become rich by trading spices in Europe.An explorer(探险家)by the name of Bartolomeu Dias had discovered the Cape of Good Hope at the tip of Africa.It was thought that there may be a way around the Cape and to the northeast towards India.However，many were skeptical and thought that the Indian Ocean did not connect with the Atlantic Ocean.Vasco da Gama，who was born in 1460s to a wealthy Portuguese family in Sines，was given a fleet of ships by the king and told to discover a sea route(路线)around Africa to India.He was also told to look for other trading possibilities along the way.Vasco da Gama left on his first voyage(航行)from Lisbon，Portugal，with four ships and 170 men on July 8，1497.Gama and his men rounded the southern tip of Africa at the Cape of Good Hope on November 22.They then headed north up the coast of Africa.They stopped at trading ports along the way including Mombasa and Malindi.At Malindi (about 120km northeast of Mombasa)，they picked up a local pilot who knew the direction to India.With the help of a monsoon wind they were able to cross the Indian Ocean andarrive in Calicut，India in less than a month (on May 20，1498)．At Calicut，Vasco ran into serious trouble when trying to trade.He had brought little of value in his ships.This made the local traders doubtful of him and very soon he had to leave.The voyage back was disastrous.Around half of his men died from scurvy(坏血病)as the trip back took much longer because of the winds not blowing in his favor.However，when he returned home，he was still a hero.He had found the much needed trade route to India.【语篇解读】本文是记叙文，文章介绍了葡萄牙探险家达·伽马第一次航行到印度的原因及过程。
