Moreover, the researchers noted that the cherry consumption had great ability to alter the expression of fat genes. Enjoy them during breakfast to kick your morning off right.‎ Sweet Potato Sweet potatoes are packed with nutrients and can help you burn fat. They are high in fiber and have a low glycemic index（血糖指数），which means they’re absorbed slowly and keep you feeling full longer. Min Chen likes to use them to whip up a sweet potato hash.“I love any kind of this dish because it provides rich vitamins, minerals and fiber. It is very filling, which helps keep appetite and portions under control as the day goes on, ”she says.‎ Bell Pepper Green, red or yellow, fresh or frozen, peppers are never a bad companion for your eggs. Thanks to their high vitamin C content, eating them can help burn stored fat. Studies also indicate that vitamin C helps muscles process a fatty acid called ‎ carnitine that's essential to muscle growth and recovery.‎ ‎21. Which food or fruit is beneficial to the patients who suffer from heart diseases?‎ A. Grapefruit B. Sweet potato C. Tart cherry D. Bell pepper ‎22. What benefit do these food and fruit have in common?‎ A. Making people live longer. B. Making muscles grow strong.‎ C. Helping control glycemic index. D. Helping people lose weight.‎ ‎23. In which part of newspaper can you read the text?‎ A. Education. B. Health C. Agriculture. D. Technology B We can achieve knowledge either actively or passively. We achieve it actively by direct experience, by testing and proving an idea, or by reasoning.‎ We achieve knowledge passively by being told by someone else. Most of the learning that takes place in the classroom and the kind that happens when we watch TV or read newspapers or magazines is passive. Conditioned as we are to passive learning, it’s not surprising that we depend on it in our everyday communication with friends and co-workers.‎ Unfortunately, passive learning has a serious problem. It makes us tend to accept what we are told even when it is little more than hearsay(传闻）and rumor .‎ Did you ever play the game Rumor? It begins when one person writes down a message but doesn’t show it to anyone. Then the person whispers it, word for word, to another person. That person, in turn, whispers it to still another, and so on, through all the people playing the game. The last person writes down the message word for word as he or she hears it. Then the two written statements are compared. Typically, the original message has changed.‎ That’s what happens in daily life. The simple fact that people repeat a story in their own words changes the story. Then, too, most people listen imperfectly. And many enjoy adding their own creative touch to a story, trying to improve on it, stamping it with their own personal style. Yet those who hear it think they know.‎ This process is also found among scholars and authors: A statement of opinion by one writer may be re-stated as fact by another, who may in turn be quoted by yet ‎ another; and this process may continue, unless it occurs to someone to question the facts on which the original writer based his opinion or to challenge the interpretation he placed upon those facts.‎ ‎24. According to the passage, passive learning may occur in __________.‎ A. doing a medical experiment B. solving a math problem C. visiting an exhibition D. doing scientific reasoning ‎25. The underlined word “it” in Paragraph 2 refers to __________.‎ A. active learning B. knowledge C. communication D. passive learning ‎26. The author mentions the game Rumor to show that __________.‎ A. a message may be changed when being passed on B. a message should be delivered in different ways C. people may have problems with their sense of hearing D. people tend not to believe in what they know as rumor ‎27. What can we infer from the passage?‎ A. Active learning is less important.‎ B. Passive learning may not be reliable.‎ C. Active learning occurs more frequently.‎ D. Passive learning is not found among scholars.‎ C Many years ago, when I was fresh out of school and working in Denver, I was driving to my parents’ home in Missouri for Christmas. I stopped at a gas station (加油站) about 50 miles from Oklahoma City, where I was planning to stop and visit a friend. While I was standing in line at the cash register (收款台), I said hello to an older couple who were also paying for gas.‎ I took off, but had gone only a few miles when black smoke poured from the back of my car. I stopped and wondered what I should do. A car pulled up behind me. It was the couple I had spoken to at the gas station. They said they would take me to my friend’s. We chatted on the way into the city, and when I got out of the car, the husband gave me his business card.‎ I wrote him and his wife a thank-you note for helping me. Soon afterward, I received a Christmas present from them. Their note that came with it said that helping me had made their holidays meaningful.‎ Years later, I drove to a meeting in a nearby town in the morning. In late afternoon I returned to my car and found that I’d left the lights on all day, and the battery (电池) was dead. Then I noticed that the Friendly Ford dealership — a shop selling cars — was right next door.I walked over and found two salesmen in the showroom.‎ ‎“Just how friendly is Friendly Ford?” I asked and explained my trouble. They quickly drove a pickup truck to my car and started it. They would accept no payment, so when I got home, I wrote them a note to say thanks. I received a letter back from one of the salesmen. No one had ever taken the time to write him and say thank you, and it meant a lot, he said.‎ ‎“Thank you” — two powerful words. They’re easy to say and mean so much.‎ ‎28. The author planned to stop at Oklahoma City .‎ A. to visit a friend B. to see his parents C. to pay at the cash register D. to have more gas for his car ‎29. What happened when the author found smoke coming out of his car?‎ A. He had it pulled back to the gas station. ‎ B. The couple sent him a business card.‎ C. The couple offered to help him. ‎ D. He called his friend for help.‎ ‎30. The battery of the author’s car was dead because .‎ A. something went wrong with the lights B. the meeting lasted a whole day ‎ C. he forgot to turn off the lights ‎ D. he drove too long a distance ‎31. By telling his own experiences, the author tries to show .‎ A. how to write a thank-you letter ‎ B. how to deal with car problems C. the kind-heartedness of older people ‎ D. the importance of expressing thanks D A recent study led by researchers from the National University of Singapore(NUS)has found a clear link between the color of a taxi and its accident rate. An analysis of 36 months of detailed taxi, driver and accident data from two fleets of yellow and blue taxis in Singapore suggested that yellow taxis have fewer accidents than blue taxis. The higher visibility (能见度)of yellow makes it easier for drivers to avoid getting into accidents with yellow taxis, leading to a lower accident rate.‎ The study was led by Prof Ho. To test whether there was a causal relationship between the color of a taxi and the number of accidents the taxi had, the research team analysed data collected by the largest taxi company in Singapore. The researchers found that yellow taxis have about 6.1 fewer accidents per 1,000 taxis per month.‎ The researchers also studied the economic effect of changing the color of the entire fleet of taxis to yellow. The Singapore taxi company involved in the study owns about 16,700 taxis in a ratio(比例) of one yellow to three blue taxis. If a commercial decision is made to switch from blue to yellow taxis, 76.6 fewer accidents would occur per month or 917 fewer accidents per year. Assuming an average repair cost of $1,000 per car and a downtime of six days, switching the color of all taxis to yellow could produce an annual savings of $2 million.‎ ‎“We are eager to continue to validate(证实) the findings of our study by looking at the use of yellow in other types of public transport, such as school buses. For instance, we hope to compare the accident rates of yellow school buses against other colors to find out if yellow is indeed a safer color for school buses. Besides, we are also interested to look at private-hire vehicles and do a comparison of the accident rates of vehicles that are of different colors,” explained Prof Ho.‎ ‎32. Why do yellow taxis result in fewer accidents?‎ A. Because yellow can be seen more easily.‎ B. Because yellow signals a warning of danger.‎ C. Because drivers tend to be more careful in yellow taxis.‎ D. Because people act more quickly in yellow surroundings.‎ ‎33. What’s Prof Ho’s study based on?‎ A. Physical risks taxi passengers experience.‎ B. The economic effect of changing taxi color.‎ C. Data from Singapore’s largest taxi company.‎ D. Personal reports from taxi drivers worldwide.‎ ‎34. What do Prof Ho’s words in the last paragraph suggest?‎ A. School buses should be painted yellow.‎ B. Their findings are worth popularizing.‎ C. Yellow should be widely used in public transport.‎ D. Their study will be furthered.‎ ‎35. What can be the best title for the text?‎ A. Caution: yellow taxis ahead B. Safer to ride in yellow taxis C. Why are yellow taxis preferred?‎ D. How can colors help prevent accidents?‎ 第二节（共5小题；每小题2分，满分10分） ‎ ‎ 根据短文内容，从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。 (将选项涂在答题卡相应的71-75题） ‎ ‎ The key to losing weight is to understand what really motivates you. Have you ever been excited about losing a few pounds?  36  ．And to help you keep your weight under control, you need some strategies.‎ Ask questions. When you’re researching different dieting products and plans or even talking to a doctor about diets, ask as many questions as you can.  37  ．Ask questions like: Do I have to purchase special meals or supplements? Does the program include a part to help me maintain my weight loss?‎ Get real.  38  ．Don’t burden yourself with unrealistic expectations. Remember, large amounts of weight loss are not realistic and are most likely not safe or healthy. Talk with your health care professional to determine a healthy weight goal.‎ ‎  39  ．To maintain your weight, you must balance your intake of calories with ‎ the energy you burn. Just 30 minutes of fast walking in most days can take about 10 pounds off your weight each year.‎ Weigh yourself weekly. It’s important to track your weight on any diet or weight loss plan, but don’t get on the scale every day. Weighing daily won’t show you the big picture.  40  ．‎ A．Stay balanced.‎ B．Once a week is fine.‎ C．Stick with your healthy eating plan.‎ D．Losing one to two pounds a week is a realistic goal.‎ E. Being well informed will help you choose the best diet for you.‎ F. Regular weight check-ins will show you your progress over time.‎ G. If so, you must find a way to turn that excitement into determination.‎ 第三部分英语知识运用（共两节，满分45分）‎ 第一节完形填空（共20小题；每小题1.5分，满分30分）‎ ‎ 阅读下面短文，从短文后各题所给的四个选项（A、B、C和D）中，选出可以填人空白处的最佳选项，并在答题卡上将该项涂黑。‎ The journey my daughter Cathy has had with her swimming is as long as it is beautiful.
