A
Living a healthy lifestyle lies in forming the right eating habits.Here are some of the good habits you can develop when it comes to healthy eating.
Drink plenty of water. You must drink at least 8 glasses of water a day.You may need even more water if you are in a hot environment or if you are exercising.
Eat breakfast. Breakfast is the most important meal of the day.A recent study has shown that those who eat breakfast will consume an average of 100 calories less during the day than their colleagues (同事) who skipped breakfast.They will also be able to concentrate better.
Don't skip lunch.If you do so, your blood sugar level will drop and your metabolism (新陈代谢) will slow down.When you get home you are starving and eat everything you can find.
We all need to snack from time to time,but please choose your snacks carefully.In fact, it's a good idea to eat two healthy snacks besides your three main meals.Choose healthy snacks like fruits and vegetables,low fat yogurt,cottage cheese with apple sauce, and so on.
Eat your fruits and vegetables. We should eat at least 5 servings of fruits and vegetables a day. Take a piece of fruit for a snack, add some banana and raisins to your favourite breakfast cereal (谷类食品), have a salad with lunch, and eat at least one vegetable at dinner each night.
Do not eat your dinner too late. Try to eat dinner at least 3 hours before you go to bed.This will give your body a chance to digest most of the food before you rest for the next 8 hours.Plan dinner for the week ahead of time and make sure you have everything you need in the house so other family members can get a head start on dinner if you have a late meeting at the office.
1.How many good eating habits are mentioned in the passage?
A.5.B.6.
C.7. D.8.
2.Which of the following statements is NOT true?。

Unit 3课下能力提升(十二)Ⅰ.阅读理解First published in 2001, the book Life of Pi written by Canadian author Yann Martel won the Man Booker Prize and an Asian American Prize for Literature. It is the story of a young boy named Pi who spends 227 days at sea with a small group of animals after disaster strikes their ship and is an account of his journey of survival and hardship.Piscine“Pi”Molitor Patel, on whom Life of Pi is based, is a young boy living in Pondicherry, India, where his father owns a zoo. The story starts when Patel's family decide to move to Canada, along with their zoo animals for their new home.However, because of the bad weather, the ship sinks. Pi along with an orangutan (猩猩), an injured zebra, a hyena (鬣狗) and a Bengal tiger named Richard Parker are the only survivors who take shelter in a small lifeboat.Both the injured zebra and the orangutan are soon killed and eaten by the hyena.The tiger in turn kills and eats the hyena, leaving just the two of them alone on the boat now.In an effort to avoid being eaten by Richard Parker, Pi acts himself as the head of the group and remains safe from harm.Since he does not want the tiger to die for fear of going mad by being alone on the boat, he fishes and feeds the two of them in order to stay alive.The life of Pi then enters its third stage when their lifeboat washes up on the shores of Mexico and the tiger escapes into a nearby forest leaving Pi alone. After the Mexicans refuse to believe Pi's story, he changes his tale by replacing the animals with his mother, a cook and a sailor and asks the Mexicans which one they prefer. They prefer hearing the first story though they do not believe a word of it.In my view, Life of Pi is a must read book for all those who love reading.1.We can learn that the book Life of Pi ________.A.was written in 2001B.was awarded two prizesC.tells a story about friendshipD.is based on the author's personal experience2.In the book Life of Pi, the hyena is killed by ________.A.Pi B.the zebraC.the orangutan D.Richard Parker3.How does Pi escape being eaten by the tiger?A.By catching fishes for the tiger.B.By locking the tiger in a cage.C.By being the leader of the two of them.D.By fighting with the tiger.4.What is the author's attitude towards the book Life of Pi?A.Disappointed. B.Supportive.C.Unconcerned. D.Doubtful.Ⅱ.任务型阅读Imagination is the ability to form a mental image of something that is not perceived (感知) through the five senses. 1.________ It gives the ability to look at any situation from a different point of view, and to mentally explore the past and the future.2.________ Though too much daydreaming may make one impractical, a certain degree of daydreaming provides temporary happiness, calmness and relief from stress.Imagination is not limited only to seeing pictures in the mind. It includes all the five senses and the feelings. One can imagine a sound, a taste, a smell, a physical sensation (感觉) or a feeling.3.________ Others find it easier to imagine a feeling. And some are more comfortable imagining the sensation of one of the five senses.A developed and strong imagination never makes you impractical. 4.________ And it is a great tool for recreating and remodeling your world and life.Imagination has a great role and value in everyone's life. It is much more than just idle (懒散的) daydreaming. 5.________ For example, we use our imagination whenever we plan a party, a trip, our work or a meeting. We use it when we describe an event, write a story or cook a cake.A.This is actually what most of us do, because we don't use the power of imagination correctly.B.We all use it, whether consciously or unconsciously, in most of our daily affairs.C.It makes it possible to experience a whole world inside the mind.D.This ability has various forms, one of which is daydreaming.E.On the contrary, it strengthens your creative abilities.F.However, imagination may have some disadvantages.G.For some people it is easier to see mental pictures.Ⅲ.完形填空“If I ran my business the way you people operate your schools, I wouldn't be in business very long!” I said before a group of angry __1__.I represented a group of business people who wanted to __2__ public schools.

Unit 2课下能力提升(八)Ⅰ.阅读理解Good health is the most valuable thing a person can have, but one cannot take good health for granted.It is important to remember that the body needs proper care in order to be healthy.There are three things that a person can do to help stay in good shape:eat right food, get enough sleep, and exercise regularly.Proper nutrition (营养) is important for good health.Your body cannot work well unless it receives the proper kind of “fuel (燃料)”. Don't eat too much food with lots of sugar and fat.Eat plenty of foods high in protein, like meat, fish, eggs and nuts. Vegetables and fruits are very important because they provide necessary vitamins and minerals. However, don't overeat.It is not helpful to be overweight.Getting the proper amount of sleep is also important.If you don't get enough sleep, you feel tired and easily get angry.You have no energy.Over a long period of time a little amount of sleep may even result in a change of personality (人的个性).Be sure to allow yourself from seven to nine hours of sleep each night. If you do, your body will feel strong and refreshed,and your mind will be sharp.Finally, get plenty of exercise.Exercise firms the body, strengthens the muscles, and prevents you from gaining weight.It also improves your heart and lungs. If you follow a regular exercise program, you will probably increase your life­span (寿命).Any kind of exercise is good.Most sports are excellent for keeping the body in good shapes:basketball, swimming, bicycling, running and so on are good examples. Sports are not only good for your body, but they are enjoyable and interesting, too.If everybody were to eat the right foods, get plenty of sleep and exercise regularly, the world would be a happier and healthier place.We would all live to be much older and wiser.1.According to the passage, ________.A.we should always keep fitB.if we were healthy,we could spend our days in doing things with less sleepC.one can eat a lot to stay in good shapeD.one needn't take any exercise if he is healthy2.In order to keep good health, ________.A.we should eat a lot of sweetsB.one needs a large amount of fatC.people should eat according to the foods nutritionD.we must try to sleep now and then3.Eating more and sleeping less ________.A.can keep healthyB.is no good for youC.gets you more energyD.will keep your personality4.According to the passage,the benefits of proper exercise are as follows EXCEPT that ________.A.exercise can help build up the bodyB.exercise may make you live longerC.exercise may help cure heart diseasesD.exercise can bring happiness to peopleⅡ.任务型阅读Right now you are reading English. 1.________ You know, reading is a very active process. It is true that the writer does a lot of work, but the reader also has to work hard. Here are some useful tips for you.Try to read at the right level.2.________ If you need to stop every three words to use a dictionary, it is not interesting for you and you will soon be discouraged. So when you read, make sure the content is understandable.Make a note of new vocabulary.If there are four or five new words on a page, write them in your vocabulary book.3.________ Instead, try to guess their meaning as you read, mark them with a pen, and then come back when you have finished reading to look them up in a dictionary and add them to your vocabulary book.Try to read regularly.For example, read for a short time once a day. Fifteen minutes every day is better than two hours every Sunday. 4.________ For example, you could read for fifteen minutes when you go to bed, or when you get up, or at lunchtime.5.________Choose a magazine or book about a subject that you like. If you choose something that you like to read, it can actually be interesting and enjoyable. For example, if you like to read about football in your own language, why not read about football in English? You will get informationabout football and improve your English at the same time.A.You may not even need to use a dictionary because you can guess the meaning.B.That means you are using your brain in a very active way.C.But you don't have to write them while you are reading.D.Read something that you can understand.E.Try to read some famous storybooks.F.Fix a time to read and keep to it.G.Read what interests you.Ⅲ.完形填空A 36­year­old father wanted to buy Christmas gifts for his two daughters, so he went to sell himself for cash. __1__,he only got a small amount.Dave Robinsons is a father-of-two and __2__.

Unit 3课下能力提升(九)阅读理解AWhat do Tom Sa w yer and Jumping Frogs have in common? Stories about both of them were created by one man: Mark Twain. Twain was four years old when his family moved to Hannibal, Missouri, located on the west bank of the Mississippi. Twain grew up there and was fascinated with (使……入迷) life along the river — the steamboats, the giant lumber (木头) rafts, and the people who worked on them.The Celebrated Jumping Frog of Cala v eras County is one of Twain's best loved short stories, and The Ad v entures of Tom Sa w yer is one of his most famous novels. Both these works are celebrated by events held during National Tom Sawyer Days, which originated in the late 1950s and became national in the 1960s. Children enter their frogs in the jumping contest during National Tom Sawyer Days. There's also a fence painting contest to see who can paint the fastest. The idea for this contest comes from a scene in Tom Sa w yer, in which Tom has been told to paint the fence in front of the house he lives in. It's a beautiful day, and he would rather be doing anything else. As his friends walk by, he makes them believe that it's fun to paint, and they join in the “fun”.By the end of the day, the fence has three coats of paint!Although the story of Tom Sawyer is a fiction (虚构的事), it's based on facts. If you go to Hannibal, you'll see the white fence, which still stands at Twain's boyhood home.1.Which of the following statements about Mark Twain is TRUE?A.He was born in Hannibal.B.He enjoyed his life in Hannibal.C.He spent most of his childhood on the Mississippi.D.He often went rafting (坐船漂流) on the Mississippi with his parents.2.National Tom Sawyer Days were created ________.A.about forty years agoB.in memory of a great writerC.shortly after Twain's deathD.to improve kids' interest in reading3.Who will win the fence painting contest?A.Bob, painting the longest.B.Julia, painting most carefully.C.Jim, painting in the newest way.D.John, painting in the shortest time.4.From the white fence at Twain's boyhood home, we know that ________.A.the story of Tom Sa w yer is based partly on Twain's experiencesB.the story of Tom Sa w yer is based totally on Twain's imaginationC.Twain's old house is painted by the fence painting competitorsD.Twain's old house is visited by people from all over the countryBDisease, poverty, hate, love —Charles Dickens' stories opened his readers' eyes to the most important themes of his age. Two hundred years later, his stories still speak volumes across the world, proving that Dickens' legacy (遗产) was far greater than just “great-literature”.February 7 marks the 200th anniversary of the writer's birthday. To mark this date, BBC writer Alex Hudson listed six things Dickens gave the modern world. Let's take a look at two of them.A White ChristmasDickens is described as “the man who invented Christmas”—not the religious festival, but the cultural aspects that we associate with the festive season today.In the early 19th century, Christmas was barely worth mentioning, according to critic and writer Leigh Hunt. The committee which ran the Conservative Party even held ordinary business meetings on Christmas Day —unthinkable in the West nowadays, when everyone but the most necessary workers takes at least three days off.Many people believe that Dickens' popular descriptions of the festive period became a blueprint for generations to come. In his classic novel, A Christmas Carol, he not only put forward the idea of snow at Christmas, but also painted a picture of glowing warmth —“home enjoyments, affections and hopes”.In his biography of Dickens, Peter Ackroyd wrote: “Dickens can be said to have almost single-handedly created the modern idea of Christmas.”“Dickensian” povertyDickens was one of the first to take an honest look at the underclass and the poor of Victorian London.He helped popularize the term “red_tape”to describe situations where people in power use needless amounts of bureaucracy (官僚作风) in a way that particularly hurts the weaker and poorer members of society.“Dickensian”has now become a powerful word for describing an unacceptable level of。

2017-2018学年人教版高中英语必修三全册课后能力提升训练含解析Unit 1课下能力提升(一)阅读理解AHalloween is a holiday celebrated on the night of October 31, before All Saints Day. The word “Halloween”is a shortening of All Hallows Evening, also known as Halloween or All Hallows' Eve.Traditional activities include trick­or­treating, bonfires, costume parties, visiting“ghost houses”and cutting jack­o­lanterns.Halloween has its origins in the ancient festival known as Samhain (pronounced“sah-win”). The festival of Samhain is a celebration of the end of the harvest season in Gaelic culture.
