26、PART THREE READING PREHENSION (共15小题;每小题 2分,满分30分)
Directions: Read the following three passages. Each passage is followed by several questions or unfinished statements. For each of them there are four choices marked A, B, C and D. Choose the one that fits best according to the information given in the passage.
A
With school out and hot weather in, it’s not unusual for youngsters to gather around the refrigerator or the television rather than take part in active play. Such habits may be relaxing but can wreck a healthy lifestyle, say specialists at Texas Children’s Hospital.
“For some kids, the state of feeling bored triggers(引发)eating,” says Jennifer Thomas, a doctor at Texas Children’s Hospital in Houston, Texas. “A child can pick up 5 to 10 pounds over the course of a summer, so it’s important to recognize the difference between boredom(无聊)and hunger.”
Because children may be adjusting(适应)to lack of routine, adding some structure to their daily schedules can help. “For example, instead of letting kids eat while they watch television, permit eating only in the kitchen with the television turned off,” says Thomas. “This way can help determine if they are really hungry or just bored.”
If hunger causes a snack attack, nutritious snacks should be available(可得到的)and easy to reach, says Thomas. She suggests two or more servings of fruit and three or more servings of vegetables as a reasonable(合情理的)daily goal. Thomas says, “Fresh or frozen fruit is better than fruit juice. Fresh or frozen vegetables are better because canned vegetables usually contain salt.”
In general, kids should avoid snacks with high sugar content, says Thomas. “More importantly, if a sugary snack takes the place of healthier food, the child is not getting the nutrition he or she needs. High-fat food tends to make a child feel worried, while eating foods that are naturally lower in fat will make it easier for kids to feel more energetic and stay on the go.”
【1】What can help to stop children from eating because of boredom?
A. Giving them a daily schedule.
B. Giving them a lot of snacks.
C. Preventing them from watching TV.
D. Making them eat a lot of fruits.
【2】What kind of snacks should we give children?
A. Fruit juice.
B. Frozen fruit.
C. Canned vegetables.
D. Snacks rich in sugar.
【3】Foods that are naturally lower in fat are necessary for children because _______.
A. they help children lose weight
B. they help children get necessary nutrition
C. they stop children from getting bored
D. they make children active and energetic
【4】We can infer from the text that _______.
A. it’s hard to tell the difference between boredom and hunger
B. children may get bored for lack of routine in summer
C. we should limit children’s eating while they’re watching TV
D. nutritious snacks should be available at any time
【5】The underlined word “wreck” in Paragraph 1 probably means“_______”.
A. improve B. change C. ruin D. include
27、With the development of the tourist industry, traveling has become a fashionable way for people to spend their holiday. Most people like traveling with friends or families.【1】 Here are some advantages of traveling alone.
★【2】
If you travel alone, you are the boss of yourself. You can do things according to your own timetable. You can decide freely whenever you go, wherever you visit and whichever transport you take. You don't need to wait for your partners. You can decide how long you stay at a place and which hotel you live in. Traveling alone gives you more freedom in making decisions.

When you travel alone you might face some problems, make decisions and even meet some dangers on your own. All these challenges will make you stronger, braver and much more confident.【3】
★Getting to know more people.
Traveling alone does not mean that you will always be alone. In fact, both other tourists and local people will be friendly to you. In order to know more about the places you are traveling to, you have to communicate with strangers. In this way, you can know more people. 【4】 Instead, the guide or your group members will talk with you all the way.
★Finding out your shortcomings.
【5】 When you are traveling with your friends and family members, it’s hard for you to find out your shortcoming. While traveling alone, you'll find that you can't achieve many things without others' help. After traveling alone, you are sure to become better by leaving your shortcomings behind.

28、 Liana nervously bit her nails while she waited for the exam to arrive. She looked around the room; hundreds of other law students sat in rows staring anxiously at the tables in front of them. Just as she began to take a deep breath to calm her anxiety, an exam booklet(册子) was placed in front of her. This was the moment she had been expecting ever since she began law school three years ago. She picked up her pencil, and opened to the first page of the bar exam, a test for all students wanting to become licensed lawyers.
Liana never thought she would want to become a lawyer. Her parents were both artists. Law was something she had not been exposed to as a child. But art made for a tumultuous career—both of her parents had struggled to find jobs and worked round the clock when they were young. Even though they finally seemed successful and happy, Liana wanted something different.
She was the anchor on her high school debate team, and consistently impressed her competitors with her analytical thinking. “Never argue with Ms. Lakes,” her teachers would say. So she chose to major in law. In her mind, she pictured herself in a New York City courtroom(法庭) dressed in an expensive suit, with papers in her hand, waving at the jury(陪审团) in a speech on human rights.
But now, with the bar exam sitting in front of her, she started to worry. “What if I don’t pass? Did I study enough?” Her thoughts raced through her mind. On the first page were seven paragraphs detailing a law situation followed by a series of questions. Liana read through the paragraphs, and quickly scribbled down an explanation of the first question before moving onto the next question. The next few hours went like this as the clock ticked closer and closer to the lunch hour.
At 12:00 p.m. sharp, a buzzer(蜂鸣器) sounded and everyone was told to put down their pencils and walked out for an hour-long lunch break. At lunch, Liana met her friend, Kevin.
“How did it go?” she asked. “To be honest, I’ve no idea. I just kept writing.” Kevin said. Liana laughed and said she felt the same way.
After lunch, the two exchanged words of encouragement. They strolled back into the exam center a bit more refreshed. Liana finished the second half of the exam that day with a better feeling than what she started with in the morning.
【1】What do we know about the bar exam Liana is taking?
A.It is for someone to be a qualified lawyer.
B.It has many law situations to describe.
C.It lasts for hours without stopping.
D.It takes place every three years.
【2】“A tumultuous career” in Paragraph 2 probably is a career that ________.
A.has lots of chances of success
B.needs to work in different cities
C.is full of competition and hard work
D.demands much professional knowledge
【3】Liana wanted to be a lawyer because ________.
A.she was good at arguing and debating
B.she wanted to follow her friend’s advice
C.she believed it would bring her a rich and happy life
D.she aimed to devote herself to protecting human rights
【4】At the end of the exam, Liana felt more ________.
A.nervous B.curious
C.energetic D.confident
【5】Which of the following would be the best title for the passage?
A.The Wild Dream B.A True Lawyer
C.The Big Test D.A Hard Choice
29、 The San Diego Splash senior women’s basketball team plays three-on-three in 30-minute half-court games — looking at the score-board and it doesn’t take long to realize that there’s nothing “senior” about these athletes.
The Splash may be the oldest team under the San Diego Senior Women’s Basketball Association (players must be 80 or over to join), but its members play to win and have won two championships (冠军称号) at the National Senior Games. Nine women are on the record, including Meg Skinner and Grace Larson — both of whom are 91.
Born in the 1920s and 1930s, Larson and the rest of her teammates are making up for the lost time and missed chances. “I was 80 when I got my first basketball shoes, and I was excited,” Larson said. Players in the Splash didn’t just wake up on their 80th birthdays and decide to join the team, and many of them have been playing basketball for many years, both as players in the San Diego Senior Women’s Basketball Association and other organizations.
Since it’s medically proved that seniors’ sports can lead to a longer and livelier life, it comes as no surprise that many Splash players have lived longer. “A lot of my childhood friends thought I was crazy to play basketball at 66,” explained 87-year-old Marge Carl. “They thought I’ll break an arm or a leg, but I’m the only one surviving of my childhood friends. They’re all gone, every one of them.”
“Seniors have to join us,” Carl told a San Diego newspaper. “They can’t sit in a room watching TV. That’s a death warning.” With over 6 million views, the videos about the Splash are very popular. “A friendship, a sisterhood, a family” is how Larson describes her team —“It’s the nicest group of people from all walks of life.”
【1】What does the underlined sentence in the first paragraph mean?
A. The athletes are not as experienced as they look.
B. The athletes can’t wait to have another game.
C. The athletes play as well as young players.
D. The athletes are actually very young.
【2】What do we know about the Splash?
A. It is the oldest team in the world.
B. It has won two games in the finals.
C. The players must be less than 80.
D. Members don’t have basketball experience.
【3】What will probably happen if senior people play basketball?
A. They will live a healthier life.
B. They will be very excited every day.
C. They are sure to break arms and legs.
D. They will live longer than anyone else.
【4】What could be the best title for the text?
A. Age is just a number
B. Everyone should do more exercise
C. Playing basketball makes us healthy
D. Old people should be taken good care of

As for me, instead of ________ from my problems, I picked myself up. I ________ to be the first person in my family to graduate from college and become a CPA. There was actually a hidden ________ in this whole storm for me. Because my plant had closed down, I was eligible (有资格的) to go to school under the Job Training Partnership Act (JTPA).
