答案：1-4CADC

Turning the lights off or wearing a blindfold while eating could be a quick way to lose weight, according to scientists. The simple trick works because it stops diners eating for pleasure rather than for calories. It also triggers a part of the brain that is worried that unseen food may have gone bad without visual clues to show it is fresh.

An experiment by the University of Konstanz, in Germany, found that people who were blindfolded consumed nine percent fewer calories before they felt full, compared to those who could see. They also greatly overestimated how much they had eaten because they could not see how much was left on the plate, Blindfolded volunteers estimated they had eaten 88 percent more than they actually had.

Scientists believe that not seeing food on the table also allows the body to know when it is full in real time rather than remembering past experiences where it might have taken a full plate to feel full.

In the experiment, 50 people were blindfolded and 40 were allowed to see their food. All were told not to eat within two hours of the experiment. They were then given three 95g bowls of chocolate ice cream and invited to eat for 15 minutes. Their bowls were taken away and the remaining ice cream was weighed, while the participants were quizzed on how much they thought they had eaten.

On average the group who could see ate 116g while the blind folded groups ate 105g. However, the blindfolded group believed they had eaten 197g while compared with 159g for the non-blind volunteers. They were also asked how pleasant the ice-cream tasted and the blindfolded group rated the dessert lower than those who could see.

The experienced pleasure of eating was significantly lower in the blindfolded group. Not seeing the food might have decreased the appetite. Sight plays an important role in the eating experience and in the overall dining experience and in the overall dining experience.

Previous studies have shown that the visual influence of food plays a large part in the taste. While restaurants that allow diners to eat in the dark claim that it triggers other senses, in fact eating in darkness is likely to taste far milder than usual.

1.We can learn from the passage that the blindfolded group .

A.spent a much longer time. eating the same food

B.believed they ate more than they really did

C.depended on past experiences to feel full

D.thought the food tasted better than usual

2.According to the last two paragraphs, which of the following is TRUE?

A.Diners are likely to lose their appetite when eating in darkness.

B.Senses rather than sight play an important role in the taste.

C.Findings from this experiment are contrary to those from the previous studies.

D.Restaurants benefit a lot from allowing diners to eat in the dark.

3.The experiment by the University of Konstanz, in Germany was made to .

A.change eating habits

B.test the effect of sight on eating experience

C.trigger other senses

D.increase the amount of food eaten by diners

4.Why could turning lights off or wearing a blindfold while eating be a quick way to lose weight?

A.Because eating in darkness is likely to taste far milder than usual.

B.Because the visual impact of food plays a large part in the taste.

C.Because diners could not see how much was left on the plate.

D.Because it stops diners eating for pleasure rather than for calories.

D

People often say that the Englishman's home is his castle. They mean that the home is very important and personal to him. Most people in Britain live in houses rather than flats, and many people own their homes. This means that they can make them individual; they can paint them, and change them in any way they like. Most houses have a garden, even if it is a very small one, and the garden is usually loved. The house and the garden are the private space of the individual.

People usually like to mark their space. Are you sitting now in your home or on a train? Have you marked the space around yourself as yours? If you are on the train you may put your coat or small bag on the seat beside you. If you share a flat you may have one corner or chair which is your own.

Once I was traveling on a train to London. I was in a section for four people and there was a table between us. The man on the opposite side to me had his briefcase on the table. There was no space on my side of the table at all. I was angry. Maybe he thought that he owned the whole table. I had read a book about nonverbal communication, so I took various papers out

of my bag and put them on his briefcase! When I did this he stiffened and his eyes nearly popped out of his head.I had invaded his space! A few minutes later I took my papers off his case in order to read them. He immediately

moved his case to his side of the table. Of course, It is possible that he just wanted to be helpful to me!

If you are visiting another country you may feel that you don' t have any private space. Hotel rooms look much the same in every country in the world.

All day long, you share public spaces with other people. You see the local people in their private spaces and you feel lonely and “ outside ” . Local people can create their private spaces by talking about things you

don't know about. And you even feel that they like you to be outside hem so that they will enjoy being inside even more! This is one of the difficulties of being a traveler! But if you understand it then it helps you. Haven ' t you enjoyed being part of a group and “ owning ” a big of space?

1.“?you feel lonely and ‘ outside ' ” in Paragraph 4 means that __ .

A.you are alone outside the house

B.you feel lonely because you travel on your own

C.you are alone and therefore you go outside to have some fun

D you feel lonely and you don't belong to that place or that group of people

2.In Paragraph4，the pronoun ＂them＂refers to（所指）.

A.public spaces

B.private spaces

C.local people

D.other countries

3.Which of the following is TRUE according to the passage?

A.British people dislike marking their space

B.You always feel at home in another country

C.Most British people prefer living in houses to flats

D.You can't mark your private space in a foreign country

4.__________________________________________ The main purpose of the passage is to tell readers to

________________________________________________ .

A.own private spaces by living in houses

B.have one corner of their own in public places

C.realize the importance of “ space ” in communication

D.create their private spaces by talking with local people

注意：每个空格只填1个单词。请将答案填写在答题卡标号为相应横线上。

Things adults should learn from kids

Children can teach adults a lot. In other words, there are many things adults can learn from children. For example, kids tend to show love. Every action they do for parents, friends, pets, and people they like, is filled with love. They don't think twice before loving, and they just love. So adults can learn this: the best way to receive love is to first give it. Unfortunately, most of us have developed the

habit of questioning everything. We often try too hard with love, and connect it with weakness. Actually, the only way to experience love is to have the smallest expectations, and love your dear ones unconditionally (无条件地).

Kids never hide feelings. They cry when they hurt themselves, and express displeasure when things

don't go their way. On the contrary, we adults always try to hide our feelings, and never express ourselves sincerely. We often feel happy for others with negative( x 8)thoughts in our hearts. Crying or expressing oneself is what normal people do. Never hold back tears or happiness. If you want to cry, cry your eyes out, and if you are happy or pleased about something, don't be afraid to show or share it.

Kids are curious little beings, who always try to understand their surroundings by completely involving themselves in every task they do. They have a huge appetite for knowledge, and ask lots of questions every day. This curious nature guides their life, and often leads them to simple yet wonderful discoveries. Are adults as curious as kids? Well, most of us aren't. Also, they no longer have the thirst for knowledge, and don ' t even ask questions if they don ' t understand something. Adults often forget that it

isn't talent or skill but our curiosity and a huge appetite for knowledge that makes us worthy.

Kids live in the present, and give 100%o to any task they are doing. They never worry about the future, and since they are so busy enjoying their present, life is great today. However, with a job, money, and relationships, it does get hard for an adult to enjoy life. The best thing to do here is to change oneself, and if that isn't possible, we can live like a child. Just don't be worried about the future, because it isn't in your control. The only thing you can control is your present, so work hard toward it.

As kids treat everyone equally, they make friends soon and also play a lot with them. Through playing, they make a lot of astonishing discoveries about their friends and surroundings. They also learn a lot about life, because they are out in the open and are playing with all their hearts. So how long has it been since you played outdoors for fun as an adult? Not some serious sporting event or activity, just kicking a ball, running in the park, or any other silly game! Pla ying doesn ' t mean that you have to achieve a purpose. Sometimes, it is healthy to just have some fun.

答案：receiving expect brave avoid whether

curious asking difficulty controlled health

B)请根据短文内容及首字母提示，填写所缺单词，并将答案填写在答题卡相应位置上。

Everyone should visit a lighthouse at least once. The most important r (1) for such a visit is to realize how our ancestors fought nature with the basic tools they h(2) .They had only basic ways of creating light, and y (3) they found a way of using this simple technology in isolated (孤零零的) places to stop ships from h(4)__ ＿rocks. Secondly, visiting lighthouses will help us to understand the lives of lighthouse keepers. By their very nature, lighthouses were built on some rocks or cliffs. Thus, the lighthouse keepers often lived I(5) lives. To walk around their small home and imagine the angry storm outside beating a(6) the walls, is to take a step towards understanding the lives they had. The reasons for visiting a lighthouse are not all so backward-looking in time. It is t(7) that lighthouses were in out-of-the-way places. But on a pleasant sunny summer day, this very loneliness has a natural beauty that many people will love to e(8) .Therefore, with the gentle waves touching all round the

lighthouse, the visitor is likely to think it is a world preferable to the busy and noisy modem life.

Another reason for considering a visit is that the lighthouses t(9) can be very attractive buildings.

Mankind could often not be content just to put up a basic structure, but felt the need, even in such an isolated place, to build with an artistic touch.

F(10) ____ , lighthouses have a romantic attraction, summed up by the image of the oil-skin coaled keeper climbing his winding stairs to take care of the light to warn ships and save lives.

All kids want to be good at learning. However, it's not easy. In my opinion, those kids who are good at learning are able to manage their time very well. They not only work hard at their subjects but also enjoy playing games. Playing also helps them learn better.

As to how kids balance earning and playing, the most important thing is to follow the rule-work while you work and play while you play. Moreover, kids should learn to work happily and relax totally.

I'm sure a good balance between learning and playing can make a great contribution to kids' growth.
