Diet is very important in people's life.From 1986 to 2010, people's diet changed a lot.Grain was no longer regarded as the main food.And as the proportion(比例)of fruit and vegetables declined, the consumption of milk and meat increased.What caused these changes? There are two reasons.One is that with the development of science, people began to realize the importance of maintaining a balanced diet.The other is that people had more money to spend and could afford more expensive food.They tried to change their low-priced diet into a more varied one.They were eager to build up a strong body by improving their living standards.With the development of our economy and improvement of our food supply, further changes will take place in people's diet.[写作内容]

The serious decline in the health of Chinese students is causing concern among parents, schools and experts.The next generation's future is in danger and there is a need to understand the causes of the problem and find a solution.In the last 10 years, studies have found an alarming increase in:
·Obesity—The number of overweight middle school students has doubled.Poor diet, especially the overeating of junk food and the overdrinking of soft drinks, and the lack of physical activity are identified as the main reasons for this problem.·Poor eyesight—More students now wear glasses from an earlier age.Long hours of study and heavy use of computers and mobile phones are most commonly blamed.·Stress—Students feel under more pressure to succeed than ever before.The long hours of study and homework they must do to achieve success, plus pressure from parents and schools are
the main causes.Some have suggested including physical education(PE)in the College Entrance Examination as a possible solution to students' health problems.They say this will force students to be more active, play sports and therefore lose weight.Others, however, oppose the idea, saying that adding one more test to the College Entrance Examination would only increase students' workload and stress and would actually worsen their overall health.Although there is no easy answer, all agree that something must be done to stop the serious decline in students' health.[写作内容]

A blog is a type of website, usually maintained by an individual with regular entries of commentary, descriptions of events, or other material such as graphics or video.Entries are commonly displayed in reversechronological order.“Blog” can also be used as a verb, meaning to maintain or add contents to a blog.Many blogs provide commentary or news on a particular subject;others function as more personal online diaries.A typical blog combines text, images, and links to other blogs, web pages, and other media related to its topic.The ability for readers to leave comments in an interactive format is an important part of many blogs.Most blogs are primarily textual, although some focus on art(artlog), photographs(photoblog), sketches(sketchblog), videos(vlog), music(MP3 blog), and audio(podcasting).Microblog is another type of blog, featuring very short posts.In December 2007, blog search engine Technorati was tracking more than 112 million blogs.There are many different types of blogs, differing not only in the type of contents, but also in the way that the contents are delivered or written.Researchers have analysed the dynamics of how blogs become popular.There are essentially two measures of this: popularity through citations, as well as popularity through affiliation.[写作内容]

One possible version:
This passage talks about the changes of people's diet and the attitude towards eating habits and health.As we all know, we are what we eat.Therefore, it's very important for us to form healthy eating habits.However, bad eating habits are still very common among us students.Some of us often go to school without breakfast;some like to have snacks;some others are particular about food;and still some eat or drink too much.All these bad habits will surely do harm to our health.To keep fit, we should have various healthy diets, which generally include proper amounts of fish, meat, vegetables, fruit as well as main food.Besides, we'd better have meals regularly.In my opinion, we should try to develop healthy eating habits to build up a strong body.Only in this way can we have enough energy to study or work better.B
One possible version:
This passage lists some of the causes for the decline of Chinese students' health and discusses one possible solution to the problem—including PE in the College Entrance Examination.In my opinion, it's unreasonable to include PE in the College Entrance Examination.While students may spend more time doing physical exercise to prepare for the test, this doesn't mean they will improve their health.On the contrary, additional test pressure and excessive exercise may make their health worse.Moreover, it's unfair to students born with health problems and to those not gifted in sports.It is often said that “A healthy mind needs a healthy body.” With good health, you have enough energy to perform at your best.I think the core issue, however, is how to get students healthier.Besides a test, I think schools should do things such as stopping selling the soft drinks and junk food, as well as giving students less homework and more time for outdoor activities.C
One possible version:
My hobby
Good hobbies, which are activities a person likes to do in his spare time, can benefit his growth and amuse him.Meanwhile, good hobbies will be accompanied with the growth of kids.As for me, what I like most is singing.I began to sing songs when I was very young.I showed great interest in music then, because my uncle often taught me songs, which were good to listen to and easy to sing.As I grew up, my music teacher found that I had a good voice, so she advised me to study vocal music in the Children's Palace.From then on, I began my vocal music training.I practised how to produce sounds and how to make our expressions more natural and more pleasing.I won one award after another in several competitions.As time goes by, I still take singing as my hobby since I find music is the interest that is missing in the exams.When I am stressful and bored, it is music that helps me live through those tough hours.Enjoying music, I live a happy life.D
One possible version:
The above passage informs us what blog is, what contents a blog might include and the different types of it.The reasons of its popularity are also analysed.Blog is becoming an increasingly popular communication tool.Not only does it provide people with a way to communicate and to share what we experience, but a way to reflect on daily life or works of art.As high school students, occupied in study all day long, we can't have much time to hang out with our friends.Reading their blogs is a convenient way to keep in touch with them.We can exchange views and make comments with each other.Besides, compared with written diaries, blogs are safer when it comes to the function of keeping privacy with the code known by ourselves.So I think it is of great benefit to us to develop our ability of expressing both in oral and written forms.

(一)One possible version:
Great changes have taken place in the way people communicate with each other from a long distance.In the past, people wrote letters to exchange information with each other.Later on, they could talk with each other on public telephone.Now more and more people use their own mobile phones to communicate and instead of writing on the paper they e-mail to each other on the computer.With the help of the 3G technology, some even can talk face to face.As a result, people find it quicker and easier to communicate,but at the same time some people feel that they become poorer in writing, and the relationship between each other becomes not so close as before.(二)One possible version:
Working individually or working in a team There are basically two ways to get work done.One is to work individually.In this way, people can decide for themselves when to start work and how to do it.What’s more, they will be able to learn how to solve problems on their own and how to think independently.People may also choose to work in a team, where they can learn from each other and help each other.Besides, they may work out better ways to get work done by discussion.They can truly learn the skills of cooperation and how to get through the ideas to their mates.Personally, I prefer to work in a team, which offers me a chance to learn how to get along with others and to share my experiences with them.As the work can be divided among several people, it can be done efficiently.Teamwork is always important.

A
The forces that make Japan one of the world's most earthquake-prone(有地震倾向的)countries could become part of its long-term energy solution.Water from deep below the ground at Japan's tens of thousands of hot springs could be used to produce electricity.Although Japanese hightech companies are leaders in geothermal(地热的)technology and export it, its use is limited in the nation.“Japan should no doubt make use of its resources of geothermal energy,” said Yoshiyasu Takefuji, a leading researcher of thermal-electric power production.The disastrous earthquake and tsunami on March 11, 2011 caused a reaction against atomic power, which previously made up 30 per cent of Japan's energy needs, and increased interest in alternative energies, which account for only 8 per cent.Artist Yoko Ono has called on Japan to explore its natural energy, following the example of Iceland which uses renewable energy for more than 80 per cent of its needs.For now, geothermal energy makes up less than 1 per cent of the energy needs in Japan, which has for decades relied heavily on fossil fuels and atomic power.The biggest problem to geothermal energy is the high initial cost of the exploration and constructing the factories.Another problem is that Japan's potentially best sites are already being developed for tourism or are located within national parks where construction is forbidden.“We can't even dig 10cm inside national parks,” said Shigeto Yamada of Fuji Electric, adding that regulations protecting nature would need to be relaxed for geothermal energy to grow.Researcher Hideaki Matsui said, “Producing electricity using hot springs is a decades-long project.We also have to think about what to do for now as energy supplies will decline in the short term.”
The Earth Policy Institute in Washington, the US, believed Japan could produce 80,000 megawatts(兆瓦)and meet more than half its electricity needs with geothermal technology.Japanese giants such as Toshiba are already global leaders in geothermal technology, with a 70 per cent market share.In 2010, Fuji Electric built the world's largest geothermal factory in New Zealand.1.What would be the best title for the text?
A.Alternative energies in Japan
B.The world's largest geothermal plant
C.Japan takes the lead in geothermal technology
D.Japan thinks of geothermal energy
2.What percentage of Japan's energy needs is geothermal energy?
A.About 8%.B.Below 1%.C.Around 30%.D.Over 80%.3.According to Shigeto Yamada, the growth of geothermal power in Japan needs ________.
A.a change of rules
B.financial support
C.local people's help
D.high technology
4.Geothermal energy is considered as a longterm programme by ________.
A.Yoshiyasu Takefuji
B.Hideaki Matsui
C.Shigeto Yamada
D.Yoko Ono
5.It can be learned from the last two paragraphs that ________.
A.the world's biggest geothermal plant was built by America
B.Japan will not export its geothermal technology
C.the potential of Japan's geothermal energy is great
D.it is hard to find geothermal energy in Japan

A blind baby is doubly handicapped.Not only is it unable to see, but because it cannot receive the visual stimulus(刺激)from its environment that a sighted child does, it is likely to be slow in intellectual development.Now the ten-month-old son of Dr and Mrs Dennis Daughters is the subject of an unusual psychological experiment designed to prevent a lag(滞后)in the learning process.With the aid of a sonar-type electronic that he wears on his head, infant(婴儿)Dennis is learning to identify the people and objects in the world around him by means of echoes(回声).
The device is an improvement of the “Sonicguide”,an instrument produced by Telesensory Systems, Inc., of Palo Alto, Calif, and used by blind adults in addition to a sane or guide dog.As adapted for Dennis, it consists of a battery-powered system about the size of a half dollar that is on a headgear.A transmitter sends out an ultrasonic(超声的)pulse that creates an 80 degree cone of sound at 6 feet.Echoes from objects within the cone are perceived(felt)as sounds that vary in pitch(音调)and volume(音量)with the size and distance of the object.The closer an object is, the lower the pitch, and the larger the object, the louder the signal.Hard surfaces produce a sharp ping, while soft ones send back signals with a slightly fuzzy quality.An object slightly to the right of Dennis' sends back a louder sound to his right ear than to the left.Thus, by simply moving his head right and left and up and down, he can not only locate an object but also get some notion of its shape and size, thanks to the varying qualities of sounds reaching his ears as the cone of ultrasound(超声波kind of peek-a-boo with his mother.Standing on his knee and facing her directly, he receives a strong signal in both ears.By turning his head away, he makes her seem to disappear.“From the first time he wore it,” says Mrs Daughters, “it was like a light going on in his head.”
What remains to be determined is how well the device will help Dennis cope with his surroundings as he begins to walk and venture further into his environment.Meanwhile, Telesensory, Inc., is working on the development of sonar(声呐)device with somewhat the same sensitivity as Dennis' for use by school-age children.1.Dr and Mrs Daughters' research is directed to ________.
A.helping the blind to see and learn as well as others
B.benefiting the learning process of blind children
C.solving blind children's psychological problems
D.finding out how children develop intellectually
2.Infant Dennis becomes the subject of the experiment most probably because ________.
A.he already lags behind the sighted children
B.he leads a life as normal as any other children
C.he is at the early stage of the learning process
D.he has the aid of a sonartype electronic device
3.What can we learn about infant Dennis' device?
A.It's the first design that was designed for blind adults.B.Its battery is as small as a halfdollar coin.C.It is functionally similar to a sane or guide dog.D.It has been improved by Telesensory Systems, Inc.4.In the third paragraph, “its edge” refers to “________”.
A.the edge of an object
B.the edge of the device
C.the boundary of Dennis' movement
D.the boundary of the pitch
5.What is Telesensory Systems, Inc.most likely to think about infant Dennis' device?
A.It had better be used by blind children from school age.B.It needs improving for use in a complicated environment.C.It may not be so suitable for the blind adults.D.It benefits blind children in terms of learning.C
A great invention by an 18yearold high school student grew out of a simple problem most teenagers meet with.“I'm a teenager and I have a cellphone and my cellphone battery always dies, so I was really looking for a way to improve energy storage,” Eesha Khare said on Tuesday.“That's how I came across supercapacitors.”
The teenager from California, who graduated from high school last week, won a $50,000 prize on May 17, 2013 at the Intel International Science and Engineering Fair for creating a device that can store enough energy to charge a cellphone in 20 to 30 seconds.“It charges very quickly and can store a lot of energy,” Khare said.“The cool thing is that it's a lot thinner than one hair.”
Khare hasn't used her invention to recharge a cellphone yet, but she used it to power a light-emitting diode(LED)in order to show its capability(容量).If used on cellphones, the supercharger would slide on to the phone's battery to charge it in a matter of seconds.The technology isn't available to consumers yet, and it could be years until it is.At an Intel event in Phoenix, Khare won the Intel Foundation Young Scientist Award, taking second place overall in the world's largest high school science research competition.She beat out more than 1,600 finalists from 70 countries.She said that she has been contacted by several companies to continue her research, but is now focused on attending Harvard University in the fall.“Right now, just my education, but hopefully we'll see what happens in the future,” she said about her plans.“I have a lot of interests, so we'll see what I do in the future.”
1.The passage starts with ________.
A.what problem most teenagers meet with in life
B.how Khare helped others with their problems

【要点综述】 本文主要介绍了一项针对盲童的学习过程的研究。
1.B 首段第三句末的不定式“to prevent a lag(滞后)in the learning process”表明了Daughters夫妇研究的目的。另外,文章一开头就提到了本文讨论的重点是针对blind baby的,由此可见,选项B为本题答案。
2.C 首段首句提到的a blind baby,第三句提到的ten-month-old和末句提到的infant等词都表明Dennis成为研究对象是因为Daughters夫妇研究的是盲童从小的学习过程,Dennis年龄很小,正处于学习的最初阶段,符合Daughters夫妇做研究的条件,因此选项C为本题答案。
3.A 第二段首句中的improvement表明Dennis用的声呐定位仪是“Sonicguide”的改良版,也就是说“Sonicguide”是Dennis的声呐定位仪的原型。根据该句对其功能的描述可以确定选项A为本题答案。
4.A 第三段第四句中的thanks to 表明此处解释了Dennis的声呐定位仪的运作机制,即通过声波描绘物体的形状,该句中the cone指的就是该定位仪,而its edge应指周围物体的边缘。当声波碰到物体的边缘时,就能通过声音描绘出物体的形状了,因此本题答案应为A。
5.D 从末段末句中的school-age children及句中的其他内容可以推断Telesensory 最可能认为Dennis的声呐定位仪有利于儿童的学习过程,因此选项D为本题答案。
C

Last night's meteor(流星)shower left many people in the community dissatisfied and demanding answers.According to Gabe Rothschild, Emerald Valley's mayor, people gathered in the suburbs of the city, carrying heavy telescopes, expecting to watch the brightly burning meteors passing through the sky.What they found instead was a sky so brightened by the city's lights that it darkened the light of the meteors passing overhead.“My family was so frustrated,” admitted town resident Duane Cosby.“We wanted to make this an unforgettable family outing, but it turned out to be a huge disappointment.”
Astronomers—scientists who study stars and planets—have been complaining about this problem for decades.They say that light pollution prevents them from seeing objects in the sky that they could see quite easily in the past.They call on people and the government to take measures to fight against it.There is yet a population besides professional and amateur star observers that suffers even more from light pollution.This population consists of birds, bats, frogs,snakes,etc.For example, outdoor lighting severely affects migrating(迁徙的)birds.According to the International Dark-Sky Association,“100 million birds a year throughout North America die in crashes with lighted buildings and towers.”
Countless more animal casualties(伤亡)result from the use of artificial lighting.Clearly,people enjoy the benefits of lighting their evenings, but some scientists think it can be harmful for humans,too.They worry that exposure to light while sleeping can increase a person's chances of getting cancer.Emerald Valley is only one community that is becoming aware of the negative effects of light pollution.For years, Flagstaff, Arizona, has enforced lighting regulations in its city in order to assist astronomers at the Lowell Observatory.Similar efforts have been made worldwide, and a movement is underway to remind us to turn off lights when we are not using them, so that other creatures can share the night.1.It happened last night that________.
A.the city's lights affected the meteor watching
B.the meteors flew past before being noticed
C.the city light show attracted many people
D.the meteor watching ended up a social outing
2.What do the astronomers complain about?
A.Meteor showers occur less often than before.B.Their observation equipment is in poor repair.C.Light pollution has remained unsolved for years.D.Their eyesight is failing due to artificial lighting.3.What is the author concerned about according to Paragraph 4?
A.Birds may take other migration paths.B.Animals' living habits may change suddenly.C.Varieties of animals will become sharply reduced.D.Animals' survival is threatened by outdoor lighting.4.Lighting regulations in Flagstaff, Arizona are put into effect to________.
A.lessen the chance of getting cancer
B.create an ideal observation condition
C.ensure citizens a good sleep at night
D.enable all creatures to live in harmony
5.What message does the author most want to give us?
A.Saving wildlife is saving ourselves.B.Great efforts should be made to save energy.C.Human activities should be environmentally friendly.D.New equipment should be introduced for space study.B
Studying volcanoes is a demanding profession.Hazel Rymer frequently has to struggle through rainforests, climb to the top of mountains, then climb 200 metres into the crater of active volcanoes.But the 38-year-old volcanologist does her best to make it sound less alarming than it is.“Driving to work is more risky,” she insists.“And the deepest I go into the crater of a volcano is about 300 metres,” she adds, trying to make it all sound as ordinary as taking the dog for a walk.Hazel has been studying volcanoes for a long time, so it's not surprising she is used to the danger.Her interest in volcanoes began at school.A teacher gave her a book about Pompeii.“I remember reading about the eruption of Vesuvius and the destruction of the city,” she explains.“The thought of all those people just frozen in time had quite an effect on me and I am still excited by their dangerous beauty today.”
Nowadays, volcanoes are getting more and more unpredictable.There have been many dormant volcanoes erupting, so studying them is more dangerous than ever before.Hazel says that although she doesn't take any unnecessary risk, she has had some frightening moments.Her worst experience was on the slopes of Mount Etna in Sicily, when she was slowly surrounded by lava.“I had a choice of walking ten hours to get around the lava flow or just walking across it,” she explains.She chose to pick a path across the cooler rocks in the lava stream.“I guess it was five metres.The flow was 1,000°C, so if you hesitated, your boots would begin to melt.It was scary, but it really was a practical decision—there wasn't time to do anything else.”
And what about the future? “I haven't been to the volcanoes in Indonesia yet.And I would love to spend some time working in the Antarctic,” she says.“I would also like to know why quiet lava flows erupt from some volcanoes and why other volcanoes go bang.” In other words, Hazel Rymer won't be exchanging her volcanoes for the relative safety of driving to work just yet.1.Hazel's claim that “driving to work is more risky” than exploring volcanoes shows that ________.
A.people have exaggerated the dangers of volcanoes in the past
B.Hazel does not really understand the dangerous situations she puts herself in
C.there are many bad drivers in the place where Hazel lives
D.Hazel is being modest and understating the dangers she faces
2.When did Hazel first become interested in volcanoes?
A.When she was visiting Italy.B.When she was at school.C.When she was twenty.D.When she saw Vesuvius.3.The underlined word “These”(in Paragraph 3)refers to “________”.
A.melting ice caps
B.volcanic eruptions
C.changes in sea level
D.higher temperatures
4.When Hazel was on Mount Etna, she had to ________.
A.take a dangerous route
B.take an unnecessary risk
C.leave her boots behind
D.walk for ten hours around the mountain
5.In the future, Hazel wants to ________.
A.revisit volcanoes she knows
B.go on holiday to the Antarctic
C.find a less dangerous job

Online clothes shoppers will be told exactly what size is best, for them using new software which combines with their webcam or smart phone to form a “3D tape measure”.Scientists from Surrey University and design experts from the London College of Fashion are developing a programme which can take precise waist, hip, chest and other measurements from camera images.Using the person's height as a starting point, the software will be able to build up and estimate their size at various different points on the body, based on their overall proportions.The result will be a more accurate sizing guide than previous systems based on the waist size or a “small/medium/large” scale, which rely on limited measurements and the buyer's perception of their own body size.Shoppers and retailers(零售商)who choose to sign up for the project could save millions of pounds a year in postage costs by removing the need to order multiple sizes of the same garment(服装)and send back ill-fitting clothes, researchers claimed.The project, sponsored by the Engineering and Physical Sciences Research Council(EPSRC), is expected to be brought to market within two years.After choosing an item, the shopper will activate the software, enter their height, stand in front of their webcam or smart phone in their underwear and take a photograph.The software will not store or transmit the image to the Internet, but will use it to judge the person's dimensions at various points on their body.Philip Delamore of the London College of Fashion said, “The potential benefits for the fashion industry and for shoppers are huge.Currently, it's common for online shoppers to order two or three different sizes of the same item of clothing at the same time, as they're unsure which one will fit best.”
