21、 I've been eating a high-Fat,carbohydrate(碳水化合物)-restricted diet for almost 20 years,since I started as an experiment when investigating nutrition research for the journal Science. I find if s easy for me to keep a healthy weight when I eat this way. But even after two decades, the feeling of being on the edge of a slippery slope is ever- present.
Researchers are generally divided on why we often fail to stay on diets and what causes obesity. The conventional thinking, held by the large proportion of the many researchers, is that obesity is an " energy balance" disorder,and so the treatment is to consume less energy ((fewer calories) ) and spend more. When we fail to keep this prescription, it suggests that we simply lack will power.
The minority position in this field—one that Dr. Ludwig holds, as do I after years of reporting—is that obesity is actually a hormondal(激素的)regulatory disorder, and the hormone that controls this process is insulin (胰岛 素).It signals fat cells to gather fat,while telling the other cells in our body to bum carbohydrates for fuel. By this thinking these carbohydrates, particularly grains, known as high GI carbs, as well as sugars are likely to make you fat.
"Raise insulin levels even a little" , says Dr. Robert Lustig, a professor at the University of California, San Francisco,"and the body switches over from burning fat for fuel to burning carbohydrates. Once people who are 'carboholics,' get their insulin levels down, they become less carboholic. And if they start eating carbs, they go right back to where they were before. " Researchers like Dr. Ludwig and Dr. Lustig believe that a person can minimize these carbohydrate desire by eating lots of healthful fats instead.
Finally, any successful diet is by definition a long-term commitment. If we buy into the logic of carb -restricted diets, then it implies acceptance of a lifetime restriction.
【1】What does the author feel like doing according to the last sentence of the first paragraph?
A.Keeping a healthy weight. B.Sticking to a good habit.
C.Stopping nutrition research. D.Breaking a diet
【2】What does the author think lead to obesity?
A.Lack of exercise. B.Taking in too many carbs.
C.Lack of will power. D.Taking in too much calorie.
【3】According to the text,what would Dr. Lustig advise carbholics to do?
A.Reduce carb intake to the least. B.Consult doctors immediately.
C.Consume as much fat as possible. D.Work out regularly.
【4】What is the best title of the text?
A.Why is cutting carbs so tough? B.What does a healthy diet consist of?
C.Who are to believe,the majority or the minority? D.How can we lose weight?

24、While the other kids seemed excited about celebrating the end-of-term party by playing games and sharing treats, Jeremy hated the very idea of the gathering.
Afraid to raise the pressure too high, I decided to contribute something that was easy to purchase on the walk to school.
Off we went the day of the party, approaching his school as if nothing was planned. I reminded him of our need to make a purchase, entered his favorite shop, and asked him to select the ripest bunch of grapes. He shot me an anxious look and insisted none of his classmates ever be able to notice he had something to bring to the party. My vision of a successful parenting method, resulting in delivering a sociable child to his school, diverted(转移) sharply from reality.
Back on route, I did my best to hide the sinking feeling of fear. How could I possibly drop him off and then walk into my own classroom to teach a successful class?
My next move was born in the heat of the moment. I said a quick goodbye at the front gate and rushed to his classroom through the emergency exit. I managed to inform his teacher about the grapes in the backpack and be out of the classroom before I could be spied by my son.
So, what happened on that June day? His teacher, a caring educator, worked wonders. My son and I still laugh about the way Mr. B started the day with an unusual question, “Does anyone have any grapes?” While Jeremy admits feeling a bit uncomfortable, the words encouraged him to takeout the fruit. Because of the support he received, he remembers that day with pride for his courage.
【1】Which of the following can best replace the underlined word “vision” in Paragraph 3?
A. Use. B. Research. C. Understanding. D. Imagination.
【2】How did the author feel when she left the shop?
A. Worried. B. Satisfied. C. Grateful. D. Regretful.
【3】Why did the author hurry to her son’s classroom?
A. She went to ask the teacher for help.
B. She went there to give her lesson.
C. She was afraid of her son being punished.
D. She was invited to take part in the celebration.
【4】What does the passage mainly talk about?
A. The teacher inspired Jeremy to share grapes.
B. Jeremy prepared for the coming party.
C. The author helped Jeremy to become sociable.
D. The author taught Jeremy to select goods

26、阅读下面材料，根据其内容和所给段落开头语续写两段，使之构成一篇完整的短文。
When I was young, I lived in a small village in Melaka. The spirit of neighborliness was very strong then. The village had a variety of trades to serve the needs of the villagers. There was a barber, tailor, coffee shop owner, grocer, and so on. All of us were quite poor but we got by. However, one family which could be considered as living a marginal existence was the Lim family living in the bicycle shop opposite our dwelling.
Mr. Lim, the bicycle mechanic, had a large brood of children — twelve to be exact. My mother was a kind-hearted soul. Often, she would remark that his children were dressed in ragged clothes and looked malnourished (营养不良的). My family was relatively better off in the village. My parents would bring over whatever food we could spare to the Lim family.
I remember one particular year when times were very hard. Even my family had to make do with two meals a day. We stopped the practice of giving food to Mr. Lim. One day, I noticed my mother looking troubled. She had learned that the Lim family had not been eating for the past two days. She decided to sacrifice a portion of our meals to the family despite the protests (抗议) from my brothers that were too hungry. Fortunately, the lean spell (困难时期) did not last long, and the children in our family resumed our three meals a day again.
As time went on, the number of customers at Lim's shop had increased rapidly. Business at his shop took off like a rocket as Japanese bikes were very useful and popular for transport. They were much better off than before.
It was at this time that my father's health was worsening. We were confused by the mysterious illness he was suffering from. Because of lack of attention to his provision shop (食品店), the business became worse. My father then sold our family car to pay off the mounting bills. My brothers and I had to stop schooling because we could not afford the fees.
注意：1.续写词数应为150左右；
2.请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。
They say that one good deed deserves another.
