Hawking, is probably the world’s most famous scientist after Albert Einstein. He is an expert on black holes. He has put his whole life into digging into the beginning (and the end) of the universe. “My goal is simple,” Hawking once said. “It is to completely understand the universe, why it is as it is and why it is there at all.” Hawking has a bad illness that stops him from moving or talking. For a period of time, he had no way to communicate except by blinking.      Now he sits on a wheelchair with a computer by his side.

He selects his words from the screen, which are then spoken by a voice synthesizer(语音合成器). “I have had the disease for most of my life,” Hawking once said. “Yet it has not stopped me from being successful at my work.” Although Hawking is such a disabled man, he made great achievements.

Are there habits they could be breaking that would also help them lose weight? ‎ According to the Ohio State University Extension, which summarized the findings, the researchers learned people who routinely ate breakfasts, lunches, and dinners tended to have more success losing weight than people whose eating schedules were irregular. As a bonus, they were also more likely to eat a larger quantity of fruits and vegetables.‎ One activity that brought a disaster to people who wanted to lose weight was watching television, particularly if they ate while watching TV--especially if they ate while watching TV after 7 p.m. People who did these things, including simply watching a lot of television, tended to have a higher body mass index (BMI)(身体质量指数), as well as a higher intake of fat and sugars. ‎ Those who ate out a lot also tended to take in more fat and sugars, while eating fewer fruits and vegetables. For the purposes of the study, eating away from home was defined not only as eating in restaurants but also eating food provided by an employer or colleagues at work, buying food at convenience stores or gas stations, or buying food for fund-raisers. ‎ Finally, the best results were achieved by those motivated people who kept writing the track of the amount and type of exercise they did and how many calories they ate, who planned meals, and used meal replacements. Those who did these things the most generally lost more weight, ate less fat and sugars, ate more fruits and vegetables, and engaged in more physical activities. ‎ So cutting out all those high-calorie snacks will help you lose weight. If so, apparently, will change some of your habits and behavior.‎ ‎9. According to the researchers we can know that____.‎ A. losing weight depends on food a person eat B. regular eating routine is good for losing weight C. fruits and vegetables can keep you healthy D. eating irregularly will leave you in a good figure ‎10. Why did some people fail to lose weight?‎ A. Because they had a particular love for sweets B. Because they were fond of watching TV at night C. Because they developed a kind of bad habit D. Because they did nothing but watch TV after 7 p.m.‎ ‎11. The fourth paragraph implies that____.‎ A. the bosses like to invite his employees to dinner B. more and more people are content to eat out C. eating away from home does harm to health D. it is very convenient to have dinners outside ‎12. What is the author's purpose in the passage?‎ A. To encourage people to eat at home B. To inspire people to take exercise C. To advise people to refuse calories D. To help people get more motivation D How much weight a baby gains during its first month could determine its IQ, new research found. The study found that children who gain more weight, and whose heads grow quickly during the first month of life, tend to have a higher IQ when they start school.‎ Researchers at the University of Adelaide, in Australia studied 13, 800 children who were born at full-term. They found that those who put on 40% of their birth weight in the first four weeks had an IQ 1.5 points higher than those who only put on 15% of their birth weight. Those who experienced the biggest growth in head circumference(头围) also had the highest IQs by the age of six.‎ ‎"Head circumference is an indicator of brain volume, so a greater increase in head circumference in a newly-born baby suggests more rapid brain growth, "says the author of the study, Dr. Lisa Smithers. She added, "Overall, newly-born children who grew faster in the first four weeks had higher IQ scores later in life. Those children who gained the most weight scored especially high on the verbal IQ at age 6. This may be because neural (神经的) structures for the verbal IQ develop earlier in life, which means the rapid weight gain during the first month could be having a direct cognitive benefit for the children."‎ Previous studies have shown the association between early postnatal (产后的) diet and the IQ, but this is the first study of its kind to focus on the IQ benefits of rapid weight gain in the first ‎ month of life. Dr. Lisa Smithers says the study further highlights the need for successful feeding of newly-born babies." We know that many mothers have difficulty establishing breastfeeding in the first week of their babies' life,” Dr. Lisa Smithers said.‎ ‎"The findings of our study suggest that if babies are having feeding problems, there needs to be early intervention(干预) in the management of that feeding."‎ ‎13. How did the researchers get their conclusion from the study?‎ A. By asking questions B. By making comparison C. By having a discussion D. By referring to documents ‎14. According to Dr. Lisa Smithers, we can learn that___.‎ A. a kid's verbal IQ scores reach its highest at age six B. this study helps parents find feeding problems C. quick weight gain benefits newly-born babies on the verbal IQ D. this study reminds parents of the need for breastfeeding ‎15. The study differs from previous ones that ___.‎ A.it associates early postnatal diet with the IQ B.it pays attention to the IQ of newly-born babies C.it emphasizes the significance of successful feeding D.it first focuses on the relation between the IQ and weight gain in the first month of life 第二节(共5小题;每小题3分,满分15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。‎ It's an unquestioned truth of modern life that we are starved for time. We try our best to save bits of time here and there. Add it up, and we will finally do everything we want. But this idea has been completely backward. 16 . We build the lives we want, and then time saves itself.‎ Do we really have no time? “I don' t have time" often means” It's not a priority(优先事项)". Time is highly flexible. We cannot make more time. However, time will stretch to accommodate what we choose to put into it. So not doing something is not a matter of lacking time, 17. Actually it's a matter of choice.‎ How do we treat our priorities? First, we need to figure out what our priorities are. Actually we may give ourselves a performance review. What did we do that made it so amazing? Next, we can write them into the next year's performance review. We will have a list of six to ten goals we can work on next year. 18 .‎ ‎ 19 . Scientists find the really good time to do this is Friday afternoon. Friday afternoon is what an economist might call the "low opportunity cost" time. Most of us do not sit there on Friday afternoon saying, "I am excited to make progress toward my personal and professional priorities right now." But we are willing to think about what those should be. So take a little bit of time on Friday afternoon, and make a list of three-category priorities: careers, relationships and self. ‎ It's about looking at the whole of one's time and seeing where the good aspects can go. There is time. 20 . And when we focus on what matters, we can build the lives we want in time we’ve got.‎ A. it's that we are too busy with it.‎ B. it's that we don’t want to do it.‎ C. When do we plan our priorities?‎ D. Make sure there's time for the important things.‎ E. We don't build the lives we want by saving time.‎ F. Even if we are busy, we have time for what matters.‎ G. And then we need to break these down into doable steps.‎ 第二部分 语言知识运用 （共两节,满分55分）‎ 第一节 完形填空（共20小题；每小题2分,满分40分）‎ 阅读下面短文,从短文后各题所给的A、B、C和D四个选项中,选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项,并在答题卡上将该项涂黑。‎ When I think back to my childhood, I like to recall the super-heroes that filled my Saturday morning cartoon marathons.
