This saying often attributed to the late Duchess of Windsor embodies much of the odd spirit of our times. Being thin is deemed as such virtue.The Problem with such a view is that some people actually attempt to live by it. I myself have fantasies of slipping into narrow designer clothes. Consequently, I have been on a diet for the betteror worsepart of my life. Being rich wouldnt be bad either, but that wont happen unless an unknown relative dies suddenly in some distant land, leaving me millions of dollars.Where did we go off the track? When did eating butter become a sin, and a little bit of extra flesh unappealing, if not repellent? All religions have certain days when people refrain from eating, and excessive eating is one of Christianitys seven deadly sins. However until quite recently, most People had a problem getting enough to eat. In some religious groups, Wealth was a symbol of probable salvation and high morals, and fatness a sign of wealth and well-being.Today the Opposite is true. We have shifted to thinness as our new mark of virtue. The result is that being fator even only somewhat overweightis bad because it implies a lack of moral strength.Our obsession with thinness is also fueled by health concerns. It is true that in this country we have more overweight people than ever before, and that, in many cases, being overweight correlates with an increased risk of heart and blood vessel disease. These diseases, however, may have as much to do with our way of life and our high-fat diets as with excess weight. And the associated risk of cancer in the digestive system may be more of a dietary problemtoo much fat and a lack of fiberthan a weight problem.The real concern, then, is not that we weigh too much, but that we neither exercise enough nor eat well. Exercise is necessary for strong bones and both heart and lung health. A balanced diet without a lot of fat can also help the body avoid many diseases. We should surely stop -paying so much attention to weight. Simply being thin is not enough. It is actually hazardous if those who get (or already are) thin think they are automatically healthy and thus free from paying attention to their overall life-style. Thinness can be pure vainglory.1. In the eyes of the author an odd phenomenon nowadays is that _.2. Swept by the prevailing trend, the author _.3. In human history peoples views on body weight _.4. The author criticizes womens obsession with thinness _.5. Whats the authors advice to women who are absorbed in the idea of thinness?问题1选项A.the Duchess of Windsor is regarded as a woman of virtueB.looking slim is a symbol of having a large fortuneC.being thin is viewed as a much desired qualityD.religious people are not necessarily virtuous问题2选项A.had to go on a diet for the greater part of her lifeB.could still prevent herself from going off the trackC.had to seek help from rich distant relativesD.had to wear highly fashionable clothes问题3选项A.were closely related to their religious beliefsB.changed from time to timeC.varied between the poor and the richD.led to different moral standards问题4选项A.from an economic and educational perspectiveB.from sociological and medical points of viewC.from a historical and religious standpointD.in the light of moral principles问题5选项A.They should be more concerned with their overall lifestyle.B.They should be more watchful for fatal diseases.C.They should gain weight to look healthy.D.They should rid themselves of fantasies about designer clothes.【答案】第1题:C第2题:A第3题:B第4题:B第5题:A【解析】1.【选项释义】1. In the eyes of the author an odd phenomenon nowadays is that _. 1. 在作者看来，现在一个奇怪的现象是_。A. the Duchess of Windsor is regarded as a woman of virtue A. 温莎公爵夫人被认为是有德行的女人B. looking slim is a symbol of having a large fortune B. 看起来苗条是有钱的象征C. being thin is viewed as a much desired quality C. 瘦被认为是一种很受欢迎的品质D. religious people are not necessarily virtuous D. 有宗教信仰的人不一定有道德【答案】C【考查点】细节事实题。【解题思路】根据关键词odd定位至第一段第二三句“这句常被认为是已故温莎公爵夫人的名言，体现了我们这个时代的古怪精神（embodies much of the odd spirit of our times）。瘦被认为是一种美德。”可知，作者认为现在一个奇怪的现象就是瘦被认为是一种美德，C项“瘦被认为是一种很受欢迎的品质”与原文相符。因此，该题选择C项。【干扰项排除】A项“温莎公爵夫人被认为是有德行的女人”，原文并没有提到作者对温莎公爵夫人的评价，该项无中生有；B项“看起来苗条是有钱的象征”，根据第三段最后一句“在一些宗教团体中，财富是可能的救赎和高尚道德的象征，而肥胖则是财富和健康的象征”可知，看起来肥胖是富有的象征，该项反向干扰；D项“有宗教信仰的人不一定有道德”在原文没有提及，属于无中生有。2.【选项释义】2. Swept by the prevailing trend, the author _. 2. 受到流行趋势的影响，作者_。A. had to go on a diet for the greater part of her life A. 一生中大部分时间都在节食B. could still prevent herself from going off the track B. 能阻止自己脱离正轨C. had to seek help from rich distant relatives C. 不得不向有钱的远亲寻求帮助D. had to wear highly fashionable clothes D. 必须穿非常时髦的衣服【答案】A【考查点】细节事实题。【解题思路】根据原文第二段第二三句“我自己也幻想着穿上紧身的名牌衣服。因此，我一直在节食，不管是好是坏。”可知，作者受到影响，一直在节食，希望能穿上紧身的名牌衣服。因此，本题正确答案为A选项。【干扰项排除】B项“能阻止自己脱离正轨”由解题思路可知，作者同样受到了流行趋势的影响，且第三段第一句的问题“我们在哪里偏离轨道了？”可以体现，作者其实偏离了轨道，该项属于反向干扰；C项“不得不向有钱的远亲寻求帮助”，定位第二段最后一句“有钱也不是坏事，但这不会发生，除非一个陌生的亲戚在某个遥远的地方突然去世，给我留下数百万美元”可知，作者并没有向有钱的远亲寻求帮助，该项属于曲解原文；D项“必须穿非常时髦的衣服”由解题思路可知，作者只是幻想能穿上紧身时髦的衣服，该项表述太绝对，属于曲解原文。3.【选项释义】3. In human history peoples views on body weight _. 3. 在人类历史上，人们对体重的看法_。A. were closely related to their religious beliefs A. 与他们的宗教信仰密切相关B. changed from time to time B. 经常发生变化C. varied between the poor and the rich C. 富人和穷人不一样D. led to different moral standards D. 导致不同的道德标准【答案】B【考查点】推理判断题。【解题思路】根据原文第三段第二句“从什么时候开始，吃黄油成了一种罪，多吃一点肉就算不令人反感，也没有吸引力了？”，和最后一句“在一些宗教团体中，财富是可能的救赎和高尚道德的象征，而肥胖则是财富和健康的象征”，从中可知，对于肥胖的看法在不同时期不同团体中都是不同的，可推断在人类历史上，人们对于体重的看法总是变化的，所以该题选择B项“经常发生变化”符合题意。【干扰项排除】A项“与他们的宗教信仰密切相关”，原文只是提及一些宗教对于体重有些不同的看法，并没有说人们对于体重的看法一定与宗教相关，该项曲解原文；C项“富人和穷人不一样”在原文没有提及，属于无中生有；D项“导致不同的道德标准”，定位第三段最后一句“在一些宗教团体中，财富是可能的救赎和高尚道德的象征”可知，不同的道德标准是由财富决定的，并不是人们对体重的看法，该项曲解原文。4.【选项释义】4. The author criticizes womens obsession with thinness _. 4. 作者从_批评了女性对苗条的痴迷。A. from an economic and educational perspective A. 从经济和教育的角度B. from sociological and medical points of view B. 从社会学和医学的角度C. from a historical and religious standpoint C. 从历史和宗教的角度D. in the light of moral principles D. 根据道德原则【答案】B【考查点】推理判断题。【解题思路】根据原文第五段的内容“我们对苗条的痴迷还受到健康问题的影响。的确，在这个国家，超重的人比以往任何时候都多，而且在很多情况下，超重与心血管疾病的风险增加相关。然而，这些疾病可能与我们的生活方式和高脂肪饮食有关，也与超重有关。消化系统癌症的相关风险可能更多的是饮食问题过多的脂肪和纤维的缺乏而不是体重问题。”可知，出于对健康的考虑，妇女会更加痴迷于追求苗条，但是接着作者讲到，从社会学的角度来看，肥胖者的增加与人们的生活方式息息相关，随后作者又从医学的角度分析了饮食不合理造成消化系统的癌变，而非体重原因。所以作者是从社会学和医学的角度来批评女性对苗条的痴迷，B项“从社会学和医学的角度”符合题意。【干扰项排除】A项“从经济和教育的角度”和D项“根据道德原则”在文中没有依据，属于无中生有；C项“从历史和宗教的角度”在原文中虽然从宗教角度描述了肥胖是一种财富和健康的象征，但是在这部分作者并没有表达女性对苗条的痴迷的抨击或批评，只是客观陈述肥胖在宗教中的象征意义，所以该项属于曲解原文。5.【选项释义】5. Whats the authors advice to women who are absorbed in the idea of thinness?5. 对于那些一心追求苗条的女性，作者有什么建议呢？A. They should be more concerned with their overall lifestyle. A. 她们应该更关注自己的整体生活方式。B. They should be more watchful for fatal diseases. B. 她们应该对致命疾病更加警惕。C. They should gain weight to look healthy. C. 为了看起来健康，她们应该增加体重。D. They should rid themselves of fantasies about designer clothes. D. 她们应该摆脱对名牌服装的幻想。【答案】A【考查点】细节事实题。【解题思路】根据最后一段倒数第二句“如果那些变瘦（或者已经变瘦了）的人认为自己自然而然就很健康，从而不去关注自己的整体生活方式，这实际上是很危险的”可知，作者的言外之意是希望她们多注意整体的生活方式，故本题选择A项“她们应该更关注自己的整体生活方式”。【干扰项排除】B项“她们应该对致命疾病更加警惕”和D项“她们应该摆脱对名牌服装的幻想”没有提及，无中生有；C项“为了看起来健康，她们应该增加体重”，由解题思路可知，想要变得健康就要注重生活方式，这不仅仅是变瘦或者增肥能达到的，该项偷换概念。9. 单选题A few years ago, Ann and Walter Taylor thought it might be time to move out of their New York City apartment to the suburbs. They had one young son and another child on the way. But after months of looking, they became discouraged and decided to buy an old townhouse right in the middle of Brooklyn, which is a part of New York City. To their delight, they discovered that they werent the only young couple to have made such a decision. In fact, the entire area in Brooklyn had been settled by young families. And as a result, the neighborhood, which had been declining for years, was now being restored.Brooklyn isnt the only city in the United States to experience this kind of renewal. So are Philadelphia and St. Louis. And Charleston, South Carolina, has so successfully rebuilt its old central area that it now ranks as one of Americas most charming cities. The restoration of the old port city of Savannah, Georgia, is also living proof that downtown areas do not need to die. But encouraging as these developments may be, they are among the few bright spots in a mass of difficulties that todays cities face. Indeed, their woes are so many that it is fair to ask whether or not the inner city, the core of most urban areas will manage to survive at all.In the 1940s, urban Americans began a mass move to the suburbs in search of fresh air, Elbowroom, and privacy. Suburbs began to sprawl out across the countryside. Since most of those making the move were middle-class, they took with them the tax money the cities needed to maintain the neighborhoods in which they had lived. The people left in the cities were often those who were too old or too poor to move. Thus, many cities began to fall into disrepair. Crime began to soar, and public transportation was neglected. (In the past sixty years San Francisco is the only city in the United States to have completed a new mass transit system.) Meanwhile, housing construction costs continued to rise higher and higher. Middle-class housing was allowed to decay, and little new housing was constructed.Eventually, many downtown areas existed for business only. During the day they would be filled with people working in offices, and at night they would be deserted. Given these circumstances, some business executives began asking, “Why bother with going downtown at all? Why not move the offices to the suburbs so that we can live and work in the same area?” Gradually, some of the larger companies began moving out of the cities, with the result that urban centers declined even further and suburbs expanded still more. This movement of businesses to the suburbs is not confined to the United States. Businesses have also been moving to the suburbs in Stockholm, Sweden, In Bonn, Germany, and in Brussels, Belgium, as well.But it may well be that this movement to the suburbs has reached its peak. Some people may be tired of spending long hours commuting, and they may have begun to miss the advantages of culture and companionship provided by city life. Perhaps the decision made by Taylors is a sign that people will return to the cities and begin to restore them. It begins to look as if suburban sprawl may not have been the answer to mans need to create an ideal environment in which to live and work.1.The author of the passage suggests that（ ）.2.The word “elbowroom” in Paragraph 3 most probably means “（ ）”.3.Which of the following statement is true?4.Why have businesses been moving to suburbs?5.Many cities began to fall into disrepair in the 1940s because（ ）.问题1选项A.moving to suburbs is not the answer to an ideal environmentB.cities are likely to be replaced by the suburbsC.downtown areas are too crowded to liveD.American people move a lot in history问题2选项A.private spaceB.room to move freelyC.peaceful placesD.confined room问题3选项A.There are just old and poor people left in the cities.B.The movement to the suburbs begins to decline.C.Downtown areas must die in the future.D.Suburbs are sure to replace cities.问题4选项A.Because the environment is pleasant in the suburbs.B.Because the suburbs have developed rapidly.C.Because rich people have moved to suburbs.D.Because many people work in cities and live in suburbs.问题5选项A.housing construction costs continued to riseB.housing was allowed to decayC.many people moved out of the citiesD.only old and poor people were left in the cities【答案】第1题:A第2题:B第3题:B第4题:D第5题:C【解析】1.【选项释义】1. The author of the passage suggests that _. 1. 本文作者认为_。A. moving to suburbs is not the answer to an ideal environment A. 搬到郊区并不是理想环境的答案B. cities are likely to be replaced by the suburbs B. 城市可能会被郊区所取代C. downtown areas are too crowded to live C. 市中心太拥挤了，无法居住D. American people move a lot in history D. 历史上美国人经常搬家【答案】A【考查点】推理判断题。【解题思路】原文在第一段描述了一对夫妇搬家，经过多番寻找，最终还是决定留在市区。事实上，还有许多家庭亦是如此。所以作者接着提到了市区重建，以前人们都向郊区迁移，但现在大家厌倦了长时间的通勤，开始怀念城市生活，这也是市区重建的原因。实际上从侧面表明郊区已经无法给人们带来理想的生活环境，文章最后一句提出“似乎郊区扩张并不能满足人类创造理想生活和工作环境的需要”，所以A项“搬到郊区并不是理想环境的答案”符合原文。【干扰项排除】B项“城市可能会被郊区所取代”，最后一段提到向郊区迁移的趋势很可能已经达到了顶峰，所以人们可能将返回城市，因此城市不可能会被郊区取代，该项属于反向干扰；C项“市中心太拥挤了，无法居住”根据第三段第一句“美国城市居民为了寻找新鲜的空气、舒适的空间和隐私，开始大规模迁往郊区”可知，人们迁往郊区的原因是寻找新鲜空气和舒适的空间与隐私，该项属于曲解原文；D项“历史上美国人经常搬家”并没有提到，该项属于无中生有。2.【选项释义】2. The word “elbowroom” in Paragraph 3 most probably means “_”. 2. 第三段中的“elbowroom”很可能是“_”的意思。A. private space A. 私人空间B. room to move freely B. 自由活动的空间C. peaceful places C. 和平的地方D. confined room D. 密闭房间【答案】B【考查点】词义推测题。【解题思路】根据题干定位至第三段第一句“20世纪40年代，美国城市居民开始大规模迁移到郊区，寻找新鲜空气、elbowroom和私人空间”，由此可知，elbowroom应该与新鲜空气、私人空间一样，都是城区没有而郊区所拥有的东西，而elbow本身的含义是“肘部”，综合理解可以推测，elbowroom指的是“能够活动的空间”，所以B项“自由活动的空间”符合题意。【干扰项排除】A项“私人空间”与原文中的privacy重复，曲解原文；C项“和平的地方”不是郊区所独有的，也属于曲解原文；D项“有限的空间”显然不是郊区的特点，所以不符合题干，属于曲解原文。3.【选项释义】3. Which of the following statement is true? 3. 下列哪一个陈述是正确的？A. There are just old and poor people left in the cities. A. 城市里只剩下老人和穷人。B. The movement to the suburbs begins to decline. B. 向郊区的迁移开始减少。C. Downtown areas must die in the future. C. 市中心在未来一定会消失。D. Suburbs are sure to replace cities. D. 郊区一定会取代城市。【答案】B【考查点】推理判断题。【解题思路】根据最后一段第一句“但这种向郊区迁移的趋势很可能已经达到了顶峰”可知，搬到郊区的这种迁移活动到达顶峰，也就是说这种活动开始要下降了，B项“向郊区的迁移开始减少”符合题意。【干扰项排除】A项“城市里只剩下老人和穷人”，根据第三段第四句“留在城市的人往往是那些太老或太穷而不能搬家的人”可知，城市里留下的大多是老人和穷人，而该项中的just表述太绝对，属于曲解原文；C项“市中心在未来一定会消失”根据第二段第四句“乔治亚州旧港口城市萨凡纳的修复，很好地证明了市区不需要消亡”可知，该项属于反向干扰；D项“郊区一定会取代城市”根据最后一段第一句“但这种向郊区迁移的趋势很可能已经达到了顶峰”和倒数第二句“也许泰勒的决定是一个信号，人们将返回城市，并开始重建它们”可知，该项属于反向干扰。4.【选项释义】4. Why have businesses been moving to suburbs? 4. 为什么企业纷纷迁往郊区？A. Because the environment is pleasant in the suburbs. A. 因为郊区的环境很宜人。B. Because the suburbs have developed rapidly. B. 因为郊区发展迅速。C. Because rich people have moved to suburbs. C. 因为富人都搬到郊区去了。D. Because many people work in cities and live in suburbs. D. 因为很多人在城市工作，住在郊区。【答案】D【考查点】推理判断题。【解题思路】根据倒数第二段前两句“许多市区仅仅为了商业而存在。白天，房子里挤满了办公的人，到了晚上，里面就空无一人了。”可知，这两句说明人们白天在市区工作，晚上就回到了郊区生活。考虑到这些情况，企业把办公室搬到了郊区，这样就可以在同一个地区生活和工作了。D项“因为很多人在城市工作，住在郊区”就是企业迁移到郊区的原因，符合题意。【干扰项排除】A项“因为郊区的环境很宜人”是人们迁往郊区的原因，并不是企业搬到郊区的原因，该项张冠李戴；B项“因为郊区发展迅速”和C项“因为富人都搬到郊区去了”没有提及，属于无中生有。5.【选项释义】5. Many cities began to fall into disrepair in the 1940s because _. 5. 20世纪40年代，许多城市开始年久失修，原因是_。A. housing construction costs continued to rise A. 住房建设成本继续上升B. housing was allowed to decay B. 房屋被放任自流C. many people moved out of the cities C. 许多人搬离了城市D. only old and poor people were left in the cities D. 城市里只剩下老人和穷人【答案】C【考查点】推理判断题。【解题思路】根据第三段三四五句“由于大多数搬来的人都是中产阶级，他们带走了城市维持他们曾经居住的社区所需的税收。留在城市的人往往是那些太老或太穷而不能搬家的人。因此，许多城市开始年久失修。”可知，中产阶级的人们搬到郊区的同时，带走了城市用来维持社区的税收，也就是说没有钱来支撑城市社区的维护，所以城市开始年久失修。所以C项“许多人搬离了城市”符合题意。【干扰项排除】A项“住房建设成本继续上升”和B项“房屋被放任自流”是人们迁往郊区给城市带来的后果，并不是城市年久失修的原因，属于出处错位；D项“城市里只剩下老人和穷人”表述太绝对，该项曲解原文。10. 单选题When he stays up all night to study for his test, he can be quite petulant.问题1选项A.tiredB.grouchyC.amenableD.exhausted【答案】B【解析】【选项释义】A. tired疲倦的，厌倦的 B. grouchy不高兴的，不满的C. amenable有责任的，顺从的，有义务的 D. exhausted筋疲力尽的，疲惫不堪的【答案】B【考查点】形容词辨析。【解题思路】划线单词petulant在句中表示“闹脾气的，赌气的”，B选项词义与划线单词含义最为接近，故本题正确答案为B选项。【干扰项排除】A、C、D项与划线单词的意思不符合。【句意】当他通宵学习准备考试时，他会闹脾气。11. 单选题The beauty of Hopi painted pottery is known throughout the modern world; so also was it known and highly valued in the aboriginal world of the North American West. Until approximately A.D. 1300 pottery in the Hopi country was simply a regional variation on the wares of other parts of the Pueblo area. Then, with the advent of the fourteenth century, came an artistic explosion. The black-on-white designs, beloved of archaeologists but relatively undistinguished, were superseded by brilliant, black-on-orange designs and orange polychromes. These in turn were superseded by black-on-yellow types quite different in design, layout, and execution from any other Pueblo ware. By the addition of red to this, a polychrome was produced. Its modern counterpart is in constant demand in shops throughout the country. It is called Sikyatki Polychrome after the first major archaeological excavation in the Hopi country.In contrast to the almost exclusively geometric nature of other Pueblo wares, the late prehistoric Hopi yellows and polychromes are characterized by startling, sweeping curvilinear motifs; bird, animal, floral, and human representations; and religious masks and cerem
