11、; a第二部分 阅读理解（共两节，满分50分）第一节 (共15小题;每小题2.5分，满分37.5分)阅读下列短文，从每题所给的四个选项（A、B、C和D）中，选出最佳选项，并在答题卡上将该项涂黑。(A)When people think of improving their diet, they often talk about eating more fruits and vegetables. Others want to eat more fish and less red meat, in addition to reducing the amount of food they eat.
12、 But, they can improve their diets even more with just a simple addition. American researchers have found that a diet rich in spices can help reduce the harmful effects of eating high fat meals.Pennsylvania State University Associate Professor Shiela West led an investigation of the health effects o
13、f a spice-rich diet. Her team knew that a high-fat meal produces high levels of triglycerides（甘油三脂）, a kind of fat, in the blood. She said, “If this happens too frequently, or if triglyceride levels are raised too much, your risk of heart disease is increased.”As part of the study, her team prepared
14、 meals on two separate days for six men between the ages of 30 and 65. The men were overweight, but healthy. The researchers added about 30 milliliters of spices to each serving of the test meal, which included chicken curry, Italian herb bread and a cinnamon(肉桂树皮)biscuit. The meal for the control g
15、roup was the same, but it did not include any spices.During the experiment, the researchers removed blood from the men every 30 minutes for three hours. They found that antioxidant activity(抗氧化活性) in the blood of the men who ate the spicy meal was 13 percent higher than it was for the men who did no
16、t. In addition, insulin(胰岛素) activity dropped by about 20 percent in the men who ate the spicy food.Shiela West says many scientists think that oxidative stress leads to heart disease. And what exactly is oxidative stress? Think of an apple that has been cut in half and set aside for half an hour or
17、 so. The cut side of the apple turns brown. That is a simple explanation of what happens when oxidative stress comes in contact with the inside and outside of our bodies. Professor West says, “Antioxidants, like spices, may be important in reducing oxidative stress and thus reducing the risk of chro
18、nic disease.” She adds that the level of spices used in the study provided the same amount of antioxidants found in 150 milliliters of red wine or about 38 grams of dark chocolate.21. What does the author advise people to do in their diets? A. Eating large amount of food. B. Eating less fruits and v

To cure chronic disease. C. To reduce the risk of heart disease. D. To cause oxidative stress.23. What happened to
20、 the men who ate the spicy meal according to the experiment?A. The antioxidant activity in their blood became increased. B. The insulin activity in their body became increased.C. The level of triglyceride in their blood was increased.D. The oxidative stress in their body was strengthened.24. What do
21、es Professor West show by citing the example of a half apple? A. The whole thing can be divided into two parts. B. It implies oxidative stress is harmful to our health.C. An apple is the only food that contains antioxidants. D. We can keep diseases away if we have an apple a day. BWhich tablet compu

23、you can buy more). Besides, the LeapPad does not allow access to the internet so it is impossible for your child to stumble across anything inappropriate.Pros: The education games are well-designed, the built-in video camera is a fun way to play at being a film director.Cons: Some of the games are s

26、399-559Tablets are brilliant for leisure but what if you want to do a bit of work?

28、er to buy a laptop (though a tablet is much smaller and lighter).Best for bookwormsAmazon Kindle Paperwhite, 109Nearly all tablets let you download books. Its a great way to take a mountainous pile of hardbacks on holiday without stuffing your suitcase.But most tablets have a shiny screen which can
29、be very distracting when youre trying to read. The Paperwhite is different: its matt screen and crisp black lettering imitate the look of words on paper brilliantly. And yet you can still read the words in the dark.Pros: Easy on the eye, excellent battery life, 180,000 free books (if you subscribe t

33、an self-image is suffused with the golden glow of opportunity. We think of the United States as a land of unlimited possibility, not so much a classless society but as a place where class is mutablea place where brains, energy and ambition are what counts, not the circumstances of ones birth.The Eco
34、nomic Mobility Project, an ambitious research initiative led by Pew Charitable Trusts, looked at the economic fortunes of a large group of families over time, comparing the income of parents in the late 1960s with the income of their children in the late 1990s and early 2000s. Here is the finding: T
35、he rags to riches story is much more common in Hollywood than on Main Street. Only 6 percent of children born to parents with family income at the very bottom move to the top.That is right, just 6 percent of children born to parents who ranked in the bottom fifth of the study sample, in terms of inc
36、ome, were able to bootstrap their way into the top fifth. Meanwhile, an incredible 42 percent of children born into that lowest quintile are still stuck at the bottom, having been unable to climb a single rung of the income ladder.It is noted that even in Britain-a nation we think of as burdened wit
37、h a hidebound class system-children who are born poor have a better chance of moving up. When the three studies were released, most reporters focused on the finding that African-Americans born to middle-class or upper middle-class families are earning slightly less, in inflation-adjusted dollars, th
38、an did their parents.One of the studies indicates, in fact, that most of the financial gains white families have made in the past three decades can be attributed to the entry of white women into the labor force. This is much less true for African-Americans.The picture that emerges from all the quint
39、iles, correlations and percentages is of a nation in which, overall, the current generation of adults is better off than the previous one, as one of the studies notes.The median income of the families in the sample group was $55,600 in the late 1960s; their childrens median family income was measure
40、d at $71,900. However, this rising tide has not lifted all boats equally. The rich have seen far greater income gains than have the poor.Even more troubling is that our notion of America as the land of opportunity gets little support from the data. Americans move fairly easily up and down the middle
41、 rungs of the ladder, but there is stickiness at the ends four out of ten children who are born poor will remain poor, and four out of ten who are born rich will stay rich.29. What did the Economic Mobility Project find in its research?A. Children from low-income families are unable to bootstrap the
42、ir way to the top.B. Hollywood actors and actresses are upwardly mobile from rags to riches.C. The rags to riches story is more fiction than reality.D. The rags to riches story is only true for a small minority of whites.30. It can be inferred from the undertone of the writer that America, as a clas
43、sless society, should _.A. perfect its self-image as a land of opportunityB. have a higher level of upward mobility than BritainC. enable African-Americans to have exclusive access to well-paid employmentD. encourage the current generation to work as hard as the previous generation31. Which of the f
44、ollowing statements is TRUE according to the passage?A. The US is a land where brains, energy and ambition are what counts.B. Inequality persists（存在） between whites and blacks in financial gains.C. Middle-class families earn slightly less with inflation（通货膨胀） considered.D. Children in lowest-income
45、families manage to climb a single rung of the ladder.32. What might be the best title for this passage?A. Social Upward Mobility.B. Incredible Income Gains.C. Inequality in Wealth.D. America Not Land of Opportunity.DTickets for the 2014 World Cup in Brazil have gone on sale, with fans able to apply
46、on FIFAs website. FIFA is expecting a similar demand to that in Germany 2006, when there were about seven applicants for every ticket of the 64 matches. And now around 3.3 million tickets will be available for the matches in 2014. Tickets will range in price from 58 for first-round matches to 632 for the final at Maracana Stadium in Rio de Janeiro. Brazilian citizens over 60, local students and members of some social programs can purchase tickets for 15. The Price of Football - World Cup 2014 Items
