Riverbend Music Theater.‎ B Your house may have an effect on your figure. Experts say the way you design your home could play a role in whether you pack on the pounds or keep them off. You can make your environment work for you instead of against you. Here are some ways to turn your home into part of your diet plan.‎ Open the curtains and turn up the lights. Dark environments are more likely to encourage overeating, for people are often less self-conscious(难为情) when they're in poorly lit places-and so more likely to eat lots of food. If your home doesn't have enough window light, get more lamps and flood the place with brightness.‎ Mind the colors. Research suggests warm colors fuel our appetites. In one study, people who ate meals in a blue room consumed 33 percent less than those in a yellow or red room. Warm colors like yellow make food appear more appetizing, while cold colors make us feel less hungry. So when it's time to repaint, go blue.‎ Don't forget the clock-or the radio. People who eat slowly tend to consume about 70 fewer calories(卡路里) per meal than those who rush through their meals. Begin keeping track of the time, and try to make dinner last at least 30 minutes. And while you're at it, actually sit down to eat. If you need some help slowing down, turn on relaxing music. It makes you less likely to rush through a meal.‎ Downsize the dishes. Big serving bowls and plates can easily make us fat. We eat about 22 percent more when using a 12-inchplate instead of a 10-inch plate. When we choose a large spoon over a smaller one, total intake(摄入) jumps by 14 percent. And we'll pour about 30 percent more liquid into a short, wide glass than a tall, skinny glass.‎ 4. The text is especially helpful for those who care about _____.‎ A. their home comforts B. their body shape ‎ C. house buying D. healthy diets 5. A home environment in blue can help people______.‎ A. digest food better ‎ B. reduce food intake C. burn more calories D. regain their appetites 6. What are people advised to do at mealtimes?‎ A. Eat quickly.‎ B. Play fast music.‎ C. Use smaller spoons.‎ D. Turn down the lights.‎ 7. What can be a suitable title for the text?‎ A. Is Your House Making You Fat?‎ B. Ways of Serving Dinner C. Effects of Self-Consciousness D. Is Your Home Environment Relaxing?‎ C Experts predict nine billion people will live on our planet by 2050. They say by that time demand for food will be two times what it is now. Officials are worried about that prediction because many people already suffer from a lack of food. More than 800 million people go to bed hungry. ‎ A solution(解决办法) to the problem may be as close as our forests. A new report says forests could help reduce hunger and improve nutrition if they are properly managed.‎ Bhaskar Vira is the director of the University of Cambridge Conservation Research Institute ‎ and an expert with the International Union of Forest Research Organizations(IUFRO). It recently released a report at the United Nations about forest and jungle foods.‎ Mr.Vira says crops that grow on trees can help feed people living in and around forests. "It's like an insurance policy. Having access to those tree-based foods is hugely important when you can't buy food from other sources or when you can't produce food because your fields have failed.”‎ The report says that forest health and economic value improves when people who live in or near forests are given greater control of them. For example, a project in Ghana aims for proper management of forests and fields together. The people involved hope to grow the Allanblackia plant. The oil from its seed can be used in soap, beauty products and food.‎ Okai Michael Henchard leads the project. He says he will help people who live nearby. He says they earn money and get trees on their land. The trees provide shade and improve air quality. Mr.Henchard says the project also helps fight climate change.‎ 8. What are officials worried about in the future?‎ A. Pollution and starvation.‎ B. Population and health.‎ C. Great demand for food.‎ D. Sharp decrease of forests. ‎ ‎9. Which can settle the problem discussed in the text, according to Mr.Vira?‎ A. Living conditions.‎ B. Insurance policies.‎ C. Tree-based foods.‎ D. Farming fields.‎ ‎10. What is the initial purpose of the project in Ghana?‎ A. To manage forests and fields.‎ B. To grow the Allanblackia plant.‎ C. To produce more oil.‎ D. To beautify the environment.‎ 11. What would be the best title for the text?‎ A. A solution to controlling population B. Forests can help feed the world C. The importance of forest health D. The project in Ghana helps natives D I think adults are affected by media, songs, and the Internet, and that is hard enough. After looking in all of the magazines and at models, my friends and I agree that our least favorite day of the year is when we wear swimsuits ! It affects your whole mood and self-image(自我形象) for the day. Think about how hard it is for young girls if they believe"how hot you look”is how valuable you are. ‎ Here are some ways parents can be active in encouraging a healthy self-image in their children.‎ First, teach what real value is. I think kids sometimes are confused about values. How valuable you are is not measured by how pretty you are on the outside and success is not measured by how famous you are. We were watching the Oscars and my 6-year-old son said "She is so pretty," and then quickly looked at me and said "You are prettier, Mom.”And I said, "It's okay.‎ ‎ There are many people prettier than me on the outside. I know that's not why you love me. "It is important to teach children this from an early age.‎ Second, tell your kids about "the grass is always greener syndrome(综合征)”. It is very easy for all of us to see the glamour(魅力), whether it is in a famous singer or the most popular girl in the school. Do not judge famous people unfairly. Talk about what problems they might have that are different from the problems your children have, like maybe wanting acceptance from peers(同龄人).‎ At last, use your mouth. Don't be afraid to have conversations with your children about how they're feeling about ads, songs, etc. Boys too! You are the parent! Kids of all ages want and need boundaries(界限) whether they admit it or not. Take a stand and have confidence enough not to be followers and not to purchase clothing, music, or magazines that you don't believe sends the right message to your children!‎ ‎12. What does the underlined word “It” in Paragraph 1 refer to?‎ A. Singing with friends.‎ B. Learning swimming skills.‎ C. Showing imperfect figures.‎ D. Reading fashion magazines.‎ ‎13. Why did the author tell her story of watching the Oscars?‎ A. To show the Oscars was wonderful.‎ B. To tell her son what real value is. ‎ C. To explain what kind of self-image a woman needs.‎ D. To give the reason why her son didn't love her.‎ ‎ 14. What does Paragraph 4 tell us?‎ A. Lots of people like judging others.‎ B. Kids want to be popular in school.‎ C. People tend to like famous singers.‎ D. People always think others' life is better.‎ ‎15. In the last paragraph, the author advises parents to____.‎ A. set limits for their kids B. make friends with their kids C. teach their kids how to be confident D. encourage their kids to be followers Ⅱ. 阅读七选五（共5小题； 每小题3分， 满分15分）‎ ‎ Most people will agree that it is good to read, but not all reading is equal. Here are some tips for productive reading.‎ ‎1. Take notes.‎ Even if you never refer to your notes again, the process of taking notes helps you sort out something important and will help you remember it. You can choose between computers or paper for your notes. 16 . On the other hand, many people feel they recall information better when they ‎ write it by hand.‎ 2. ‎ 17 . ‎ If you are like me, once you commit to reading a book, it is very hard to give up until you’ve finished it. Given the number of books that are available and our limited life, it just doesn’t make sense to read a book that you aren’t getting anything from.‎ ‎3. Variety is good.‎ While you don’t want to give up on a book that you are benefiting from, it is important to give yourself variety. You can pick up a book at random or intentionally looking for something different from what you normally read. 18 .‎ ‎4. Review what you’ve read.‎ If you want to remember what you read, take the time to review. 19 . When you finish a book, spend 15 minutes examining your notes in 2 to 4 days. Then 2 to 4 weeks after that and then 2 to 4 months after that. This will strengthen the knowledge in your mind.‎ ‎5. Discuss what you read with others.‎ ‎20 . If you can talk with people in person, that is ideal, but don t overlook the power of the Internet in connecting people with similar interests but different geography.‎ A．Don’t be afraid to give up B．Make full use of reading time C．It’s hard to get more out of your normal reading D．This can be very valuable in giving you a different opinion E. And you’d better go over things at ever increasing time intervals F. Using computers will make it easy to find your notes later by search G. The best way to get more from your reading is to discuss it with others 第二部分 英语知识运用 （共两小节， 满分55分）‎ 第一节 完型填空 （共20小题；每小题2分，满分40分）‎ My fiancé (未婚夫) and I were excited about shopping for our first home.
