‎2019届高考英语一轮复习限时阅读训练32‎ ‎（A）‎ FAT camp—for some, the prison of aerobics (有氧运动), health food and hunger pains is a reality. ‎ Whenever I bring up that I’ve been to fat camp, people laugh and say, “Are you serious? Is it like that movie? Tell me more! ” People are usually really curious about fat camp. They wonder what it’s like there. “Is food snuck (偷偷拿) in? Is chocolate black market (黑市) material? . . . ” The answer to all of these questions is yes. ‎ You are woken at 7 am to trek down the hill, still in your pajamas. You enter the canteen and wait in a seemingly endless line, still starved from an unsatisfying dinner. You finally get food—then wish you hadn’t. But you eat it because otherwise you starve. You eat every little bit of powdered egg, every crumb of soggy (没烤透的) diet toast and tasteless sugarfree jelly. ‎ After breakfast you hike back up the hill. The hill is meant to physically, spiritually (精神上地), and emotionally break you. You must climb it three times a day for equally delicious meals. Every time, you see someone stop in despair midway up. There is always one who pretends to be hurt in the hope that someone will carry them up. ‎ Throughout the day you rotate through periods of swimming, three sports, and one or two aerobics classes. It’s not officially called “fat” camp; it’s called “fun and fitness camp”. But when I think of fun, I don’t think of fitness. ‎ However, there were good parts to camp—parts like the friendships. Everyone seemed to bond over starvation (饥饿) and the need for food. It became a game to see how much food you could acquire in one stay. Many campers would bring supplies, but they would of course be taken away. My technique was to befriend the counselors. Through my connections I received candy, soda and fried chicken. Also, as soon as one camper left, they would send other things from home. ‎ The struggles of fat camp really do give you an appreciation of life. Whether you have realized the value of taste, gained friends, or lost weight, no one will ever forget their experiences at fat camp. Fat camp is no joke—it’s a whole world of drama, hardships and revelations. ‎ ‎1. Which of the following is TRUE about the people who have heard that the author has been to fat camp? ‎ A.

And one of the key things that we measure is CO2 levels. And we’ve been able to record this increasing quantity of atmospheric CO2 into the ocean. ”‎ Scientists expected that as atmospheric CO2 increased, more and more of the carbon dioxide would be absorbed into the ocean, affecting the chemical balance of the sea water, with a potentially harmful impact on shellfish and coral in particular. ‎ ‎“As carbon dioxide dissolves in the water or sea water in this case, it forms a weak acid, carbonic acid, ” Dore explains, “And therefore, as the concentration of CO‎2 in the atmosphere goes up and that exchanges with the surface sea water, it drives the pH down, and makes it more acidic. ”‎ ‎ The sea water Dore and his colleagues have analyzed confirms what the theory predicts. ‎ The effect was particularly striking at about 250 meters down, and again at 500 meters. Dore and his colleagues came up with two possible explanations. It could be that surface water picked up CO2 and then moved to those depths. Or there could be a biological explanation. ‎ ‎“It’s important to realize that the oceans are really becoming acidic. And it could have negative impacts on a whole variety of sea life from fish to coral. It’s potentially catastrophic. ”‎ ‎5. What can be the best title of the passage? ‎ A. Sea Life Facing Danger B. Scientist Researching Sea Water C. Oceans Becoming More Acidic D. Climate Change Affecting Sea Water ‎6. With the increase of atmospheric CO2, _______. ‎ A. more corals will appear in the sea B. the surface water is becoming warmer C. the chemical balance of the sea water is affected D. the pH of the ocean out here has been increasing ‎7. Scientist Robert Dore came to the conclusion based on _______. ‎ A. his research and analysis B. the expectation of other scientists C. some former theory D. a major cause of climate change ‎8. What does the passage want to tell us most? ‎ A. It takes time to make a scientific study. ‎ B. Atmospheric CO2 is doing harm to sea life. ‎ C. Robert Dore is a committed and serious scientist. ‎ D. Measures should be taken to prevent the potential catastrophe. ‎ 答案解析 A ‎【文章大意】减肥营不仅可以使你减轻体重，还可以让你学会对生活感恩。‎ ‎1.【解析】选D。细节理解题。从第二段的“People are usually really curious about fat camp. They wonder what it’s like there. ”以及人们提的一连串问题得知，人们对减肥营很感兴趣，总是问作者一堆问题。 ‎ ‎2.【解析】选A。细节理解题。从第二段的最后两句可知，巧克力是禁止带入的食物，a正确。倒数第三段的“But when I think of fun, I don’t think of fitness”说明，减肥营的课程在作者看来并不有趣，b不对。第三段里的描述中我们看到营中的食物味道不好，也不管饱，c正确。文中没有提到爬不上山的人会被背上去，d不对。所以正确答案应该为A项。‎ ‎3.【解析】选D。从上文中的“Throughout the day”可知，这是个贯穿全天的动作，从下文看这些课程并不让作者快乐，所以综合来看应该是D，意为“轮流去做”。 ‎ ‎4.【解析】选C。A和B的the best place在文中没有提到，排除。从最后一段的“The struggles of fat camp really do give you an appreciation of life.
