there have been news reports and television shows reporting on the quality of school lunches.According to federal guidelines,French fries count as a serving of vegetables.Many parents and others are upset that a salty,deep-fried food is replacing healthier options like carrot sticks.As a result,the potatowhat French fries are made ofhas been getting a bad rap.“The problem is not the potato,” insists Greg.“Potatoes are very healthy.But any food,even the carrot or lettuce(生菜),will be less healthy if its cooked in grease(油脂).”Two months ago,Greg decided to eat nothing but potatoes for 60 days.As a high school science teacher and son of a potato farmer,he wanted to do something to draw attention to potatoes as a healthy food and a good choice as part of anyones regular meals.“Its been an interesting experience,”Greg said.“For a while,I wasnt sure I would make it.I was pretty tired of eating potatoes after a few weeks.”But for Greg there were some benefits that he hadnt expected.Hes lost 15 pounds and he feels better than he has in years.“I have so much more energy,”he says.“Ive been running and playing on a local basketball team,and I feel like Im playing as well as I did when I was in high school.”And Greg has gotten a lot of attention,much more than he expected.“Its been fantastic.Thousands of people have read my blog.Ive been sharing recipes and talking about the experience.Every day I get to tell people what a great idea it is to eat potatoes.”Greg is glad to be back to a normal diet,but he still eats potatoes at least 5 or 6 times a week.“Everyone should!” he says with a smile.“Potatoes are healthy and taste great!”1.What does the underlined part “getting a bad rap” in Paragraph 2 mean?A.Receiving little attention.B.Obtaining an unfair judgement.C.Getting more and more popular.D.Being good for peoples health.2.Why did Greg decide to eat potatoes only?A.Because potatoes are cheap.B.To draw attention to himself.C.To prove that potatoes are healthy.D.Because he loves potatoes very much.3.After eating potatoes for a few weeks,Greg .A.gave up his planB.put on some weightC.became less healthyD.was sick of potatoes4.After eating potatoes for 60 days,Greg .A.became a little weakB.became much healthierC.could not eat potatoes any moreD.decided to keep eating potatoes onlyBGrandparents who help out occasionally with childcare in their munity tend to live longer than seniors who do not care for other people，according to a study from Berlin，Germany.“Having no contact with grandchildren at all can negatively impact grandparents health.This link could be deeply rooted in our evolutionary past when help with childcare was important for the survival of the human species，”said Sonja Hilbrand，one of the researchers.The findings are drawn from data on more than 500 people over age 70.Overall，after accounting for grandparents age and general state of health，the risk of dying over a 20year period was onethird lower for grandparents who cared for their grandchildren，pared with grandparents who provided no childcare.Caregiving was associated with a longer life even when the care receiver wasnt a relative.Half of all childless seniors who provided support to friends or neighbors lived for seven years after the study began，while nonhelpers lived for four years on average.“Caregiving may give caregivers a purpose of life because they may feel useful for others and society.Caregiving may be thought also as an activity that keeps caregivers physically and mentally active，”said Professor Bruno Arpino.Arpino noted，however, that caregiving is not the only activity that can improve health and that too many caring responsibilities can take away from other beneficial activities like working，being in social clubs，or volunteering.“Children should take_into_account their parents needs，willingness，and desires and agree with them on the timing and amount of childcare，”he suggested.“It is very important that every individual decides for himself/herself, what proper amounts of help means，”Hilbrand said，adding，“As long as you do not feel stressed about the intensity (强度)of help you provide you may be doing something good for others as well as for yourself.”1What is the caregiving study based on?AHuman evolutionary history.BDemand of modern society.CSocial contact between relatives.DData on many elderly people.2In Arpinos opinion，childcare _.Ais sure to keep old people away from illnessesBallows old people to live a more meaningful lifeCcreates more job opportunities for old peopleDmakes social activities inaccessible to old people3What does the underlined part“take into account”in Paragraph 6 probably mean?ALimit. BIgnore.CFavor. DConsider.4What does the last paragraph tell us?AGrandparents can do anything in their own interests.BGrandparents should share more social responsibilities.CProper amounts of childcare do good to grandparents.DCaregiving guarantees every grandparent a longer life.【解题导语】德国柏林一项研究发现，祖父母适当地帮忙照顾孙辈比不照顾孙辈的老年人寿命长。难句分析：Overall, after accounting for grandparents age and general state of health，the risk of dying over a 20year period was onethird lower for grandparents who cared for their grandchildren, pared with grandparents who provided no childcare.分析：本句为主从复合句。其中，Overall在此为副词，在句中作状语；after为介词，其后接动名词短语作宾语；两个who均引导定语从句pared with grandparents who.为过去分词短语作状语。译文：总的来说，在考虑祖父母的年龄和大致的健康状况后，与那些没照顾孙辈的祖父母相比，那些照顾孙辈的祖父母在20年间的死亡风险要低三分之一。1D推理判断题。根据文章第三段第一句The findings are drawn from data on more than 500 people over age 70.可知，这一发现是从对500多个70岁以上的老人的数据分析得来的。故选D项。2B推理判断题。根据题干中的Arpinos opinion定位至文章第五段中的“Caregiving may give caregivers a purpose of life because they may feel useful for others and society.”可知，看护小孩让看护人觉得生活有了目的，因为他们觉得自己对他人和社会是有用的，也就是说，看护小孩可以使他们感觉生活得有意义。故选B项。3D词义猜测题。根据上文中too many caring responsibilities can take away from other beneficial activities及后面的“.their parents needs，willingness，and desires and agree with them on the timing and amount of childcare，”可知，过多的照看责任会使老人无法从事其他有意义的活动，所以孩子应考虑老人的需求、意愿和渴求，同意他们照顾孩子的时间长度和强度的选择。由此可猜测，take into account意为“考虑”，与consider意义相近。故选D项。4C细节理解题。根据最后一段中“As long as you do not feel stressed about the intensity of help you provide you may be doing something good for others as well as for yourself.”可知，只要你帮忙的强度不会让你感到有压力，这对他人、对你自己都是有好处的。由此可知，适当地照顾小孩对祖父母有好处。故选C项。.完形填空(2016沈阳第一次质量监测)I was 11 when you were born,and in your first few years I often looked after you,bathed and dressed you and

1).【解题导语】本文是记叙文。一位高中教师通过坚持60天内只吃土豆来证明土豆是健康的食品。1.B词义猜测题。由上文的“.French fries count as a serving of vegetables.Many parents and others are upset that a salty,deep-fried food is replacing healthier options like carrot sticks.”及下文的“The problem is not the potato, insists Greg.if its cooked in grease.”可推断,很多家长和其他人为学校午餐中用炸薯条代替了健康的食品感到沮丧,所以炸薯条的原料土豆得到了不公平的评价。而格雷格认为炸薯条不健康主要问题不在于土豆而在于烹饪方式。2.C细节理解题。由第四段中的“.he wanted to do something to draw attention to potatoes as a healthy food and a good choice as part of anyones regular meals.”可知,格雷格之所以决定只吃土豆是为了证明土豆是健康食品。3.D细节理解题。由第五段中的“I was pretty tired of eating potatoes after a few weeks.”可知。4.B细节理解题。由倒数第三段中的“Hes lost 15 pounds and he feels better.”可知,连续60天吃土豆后,格雷格变得更加健康了。.【解题导语】本文主要讲述了作者陪伴妹妹成长过程中的点点滴滴。1.A根据空后的以of开头的句子可知,此处指“我”对你的童年有清晰的(vivid)记忆。painful意为“痛苦的”;admirable意为“值得赞赏的”;awful意为“可怕的”。故A项正确。2.B把你装扮成“摇滚明星”。put sb.up意为“推荐”;dress
