16、ght. Although dieters may really show weight loss from a fad diet, they will almost certainly get back the weight if their usual eating habits (习惯) remain unchanged. Moreover, fad diets continuously call for special products of questionable value or for “health foods” that may cost twice as much as

17、supermarket(超市) foods. Worse yet, certain fad diets dont include nutrients(营养)good for health. People have been known to become very ill as a result of following medically unhealthy diets. The worse fact of fad diets, though, is that they keep people who are over-weight or sick from receiving the me

18、dical care that they truly need.41. The word “fad” in the first sentence means _.A. newB. wonderfulC. popular quicklyD. loved by people42. From the text we know that _.A. people refuse to accept fad diets B. fad diets can help people to lose weightC. a man can lose weight after eating a fad diet D.

19、fad diets are now welcomed by people43. In the writers opinion, fad diets_.A. are very helpful B. are not healthy diet C. wont cost much D. include lots of nutrients44. A fad dieter has to _.A. spend more money B. lose much weight C. keep his usual eating habits D. go to doctors very often45. The la

20、st paragraph tells us _.A. that fad dieters are often overweight B. fad dieters need medical care if they are overweight or sickC. how fad dieters get sick D. overweight or sick fad dieter cant get medical care in timeBIn modern society there is a great deal of argument about competition. Some value

21、 it highly，believing that it is responsible for social progress and prosperity. Others say that competition is bad；that it sets one person against another；that it leads to unfriendly relationship between people.I have taught many children who held the belief that their self worth relied (依赖)on how w

22、ell they performed at tennis and other skills. For them，playing well and winning are often life and death affairs. In their single minded pursuit(追求)of success，the development，of many other human qualities is sadly forgotten. However，while sonic seem to be lost in die desire to succeed，others take a

23、n opposite attitude. In a culture which values only die winner and pays no attention to the ordinary players，they strongly blame competition. Among the most vocal are youngsters who have suffered under competitive pressures from their parents or society. Teaching these young people，I often observe i

24、n them a desire to fail. They seem to seek failure by not trying to win or achieve success. By not trying，they always have an excuse：“I may have lost，but it doesnt matter because I really didnt try.” What is not usually admitted by themselves is the belief that if they had really tried and lost，that

25、 would mean a lot. Such a loss would be a measure of their worth. Clearly，this belief is the same as that of the true competitors who try to prove themselves. Both are based on the mistaken belief that ones self respect relies on how well one performs in comparison with others. Both are afraid of no

26、t being valued. Only as this basic and often troublesome fear begins to dissolve(缓解) can we discover a new meaning in competition.46. What does this passage mainly talk about? A. Competition helps to set up self-respect.B. Opinions about competition are different among people.C. Competition is harmf

27、ul to personal quality development.D. Failures are necessary experiences in competition.47. Why do some people favor competition according to the passage? A. It pushes society forward.B. It builds up a sense of duty. C. It improves personal abilities.D. It encourages individual efforts. 48. The unde

28、rlined phrase “the most vocal” in Paragraph 3 means .A. those who try their best to win B. those who value competition most highly C. those who are against competition most strongly D. those who rely on others most for success49. What is the similar belief of the true competitors and those with a “d

29、esire to fail”? A. Ones worth lies in his performance compared with others. B. Ones success in competition needs great efforts. C. Ones achievement is determined by his particular skills. D. Ones success is based on how hard he has tried.50. Which point of view may the author agree to? A. Every effo

30、rt should be paid back.B. Competition should be encouraged.C. Winning should be a life-and-death matter.D. Fear of failure should be removed in competition.CIf there is something that appears most frequently on Chinese dining tables, it is doufubeancurd. Beancurd looks like soft cakes and its made f

31、rom dried soybeans. Beancurd used to be considered a favourite of the poor because of its low cost. Beans have high yields (产量) every year with their short growing period and suitability for various (各种各样) soil both dry and wet.Historical records show beancurd was invented by Liu An, Prince of Huain

32、an and uncle of Emperor Wu of Han Dynasty（206BC220AD）. He had a dream of finding the pill for longevity (长寿). He traveled all over the country and found soybeans, which looked much the same as gold in terms of colour. He collected soybeans, put them in the water and crushed them into pulp (浆). It go

33、t solidified and became known as doufu. Although its not able to keep longevity, its really good for ones health with high protein and low fat.With a long history, beancurd is rooted deep in Chinese culture. People eat more meat and fish than beancurd. But they are encouraged to have beancurd every

34、once in a while for its really good for health. Most Chinese people still keep beancurd as one of their favourite dishes.51. Why was beancurd considered to be liked by the poor? A.

37、m will have a television set and a video, and your kitchen a washing machine and a microwave oven. Your bedroom drawers will be filled with almost three times as many clothes as you need. You almost certainly own a car and possibly a home computer, holiday abroad at least once a year and eat out at

38、least once a week.Now, perhaps, more than ever before, people are wondering what life is all about, and what it is for. Seeking material success is beginning to trouble large numbers of people around the world. They feel that the long hours work culture to make more money is eating up their lives, l

39、eaving them very little time or energy for family or pastimes. Many are turning to other ways of living and downshifting is one of them. Six percent of workers in Britain took the decision to downshift last year.One couple who downshifted is Daniel and Liz. They used to work in central London. He wa

40、s a newspaper reporter and she used to work for an international bank. They would go to work by train every day from their large house in the suburbs, leaving their two children with a nanny. Most evenings Daniel wouldnt get home until eight or nine oclock and nearly twice a month he would have to f

41、ly to New York for meetings. They both earned a large amount of money but began to feel that life was passing them by.Nowadays, they run a farm in the mountains of Wales. “I always wanted to have a farm then,” says Daniel, “and we took almost a year to make the decision to downshift. Its taken some

42、getting used to, but its been worth it. We have to think twice now about spending money on car repairs and we no longer have any holidays. However, I think its made us stronger as a family, and the children are a lot happier.Liz, however, is not quite sure. “I used to enjoy my job, even though it wa

43、s hard work and long hours. Im not really a country girl, but I suppose Im gradually getting used to looking after the animals. One thing I do like, though, is being able to see more of my children. My advice for other people wanting to do the same is not to think about it too much or you might not

44、do it at all.”56The passage tells us that .
