Ⅱ.阅读理解(史地人文类+科普研究类+议论说理类)
A
With its 775 rooms, Buckingham Palace makes regular houses look tiny. Now home to Queen Elizabeth Ⅱ， it's been the British Monarchy's official London digs since 1837. National Geographic Kids slipped behind the guarded gates to find the palace's coolest features.
1. FANCY FEAST
For special dinners, a team of 21 chefs whips_up dishes that are served on solid gold plates. Even Her Majesty's pet dogs receive meals of lamb and cabbage in silver bowls. Good thing the kitchen is well stocked—the Queen welcomes about 50,000 dining guests every year.
2. CLASSY COACH
The Queen's most attractive ride may be the Gold State Coach, parked in the palace's Royal Mews building and used in the crowning of a king or queen, since 1821. Covered with heavy gold, it's pulled by eight horses.
3. MOVIE NIGHT
The royal family hosts private screenings of movies in their very own cinema, sometimes seeing new films before they hit theaters.
4. WHAT'S UP, DOC?
Forget a medicine cabinet(药品柜). Buckingham Palace houses a doctor' s office run by the Queen's physician. And surgeons have even performed operations in other parts of the palace. In 1902, for instance, doctors operated on King Edward Ⅶ in a room facing the garden.
5. BEDROOMS
The palace has 52 bedrooms. Rooms such as those inside the Belgian Suite contain chandeliers (枝形吊灯), goldgilded mirrors, fireplaces, canopy beds, and more.
6. TOPSECRET TUNNELS
Rumor has it that secret underground tunnels connect the royal residence to other buildings in London. The paths were reportedly built during World War Ⅱ when enemy bombs regularly pounded the city. Weaving deep under London's busy streets, the tunnels would have provided the royals safe passage during an attack. But even now officials won't reveal much about these undertheradar routes.
1. The underlined part “whips up” probably means ________.
A. enjoys B. selects
C. cleans D. cooks
2. According to the text, in Buckingham Palace ________.
A. there are eight horses altogether
B. stocks of food in the kitchen hardly run low
C. the Queen's pet dogs are fed with simple meals
D. there's no suitable place to perform operations
3. What do we know about the tunnels in Buckingham Palace?
A. They are not wellprotected.
B. They were heavily bombed.
C. They are not open to the public.
D. They are linked with other cities in Britain.
答案：
【语篇解读】 本文是应用文。文章介绍了有关白金汉宫的一些趣闻。
1. D 解析：词义猜测题。由后接的从句that are served on solid gold plates可知，前面应该是“烹调”的意思。
2. B 解析：细节理解题。由FANCY FEAST部分的Good thing the kitchen is well stocked—the Queen welcomes about 50,000 dining guests every year可知，白金汉宫的厨房食物储备充足。
3. C 解析：推理判断题。由文章最后一段中的But even now officials won't reveal much about these undertheradar routes可知，这些地下通道是不对公众开放的。
B
(2014·哈尔滨第三中学模考)
Two new studies suggest that modern running shoes could increase the risk of injuries to runners.
One study involved sixtyeight healthy young women and men who ran at least twentyfour kilometers a week. The runners were observed on a treadmill machine (跑步机). Sometimes they wore running shoes. Other times they ran barefoot (赤脚的).
Researchers from the JKM Technologies company in Virginia, the University of Virginia and the University of Colorado did the study.
They found that running shoes create more stress that could damage knees, hips and ankle joints than running barefoot. They observed that the effect was even greater than the effect reported earlier for walking in high heels.
The study appeared in the official scientific journal of the American Academy of Physical Medicine.
The other study appeared in the journal Nature. It compared runners in the United States and Kenya. The researchers were from Harvard University in Massachusetts, Moi University in Kenya and the University of Glasgow in Scotland.
They divided the runners into three groups. One group had always run shoeless. Another group had always run with shoes. And the third group had changed to shoeless running.
Runners who wear shoes usually come down heel first. That puts great force on the back of the foot. But the study found that barefoot runners generally land on the front or middle of their foot. That way they ease into their landing and avoid striking their heels.
Harvard's Daniel Lieberman led the study. He says the way most running shoes are designed may explain why those who wear them land on their heels. The heel of the shoe is bigger and heavier than other parts of the shoe, so it would seem more likely to come down first. Also, the heel generally has thick material under it to soften landings.
But the researchers do not suggest that runners immediately start running barefoot. They say it takes some training. And there can be risks, like running when your feet are too cold to feel if you get injured.
The study was partly supported by Vibram, which makes a kind of footwear that it says is like running barefoot. The findings have gotten a lot of attention. But the researchers say there are many problems in the way the press has reported in their paper. So they have tried to explain their findings on a Harvard website.
4. What's the main idea of the passage?
A. Walking in high heels could have fewer serious effects than running barefoot.
B. Two new discoveries encourage people to run in high heels.
C. Running in shoes is partly good to runners.
D. Two new studies prove running without shoes is beneficial to runners in most cases.
5. Which part of our body could be injured if we run in running shoes?
A. Toes. B. Hips.
C. Feet. D. Legs.
6. What can we learn from the passage?
A. The way that we run by landing on the front or middle of our foot could avoid damaging our heel.
B. We should start running barefoot in no time.
C. Running in modern running shoes could have more serious effects than running in high heels.
D. We won't be injured if we run barefoot.
7. What is the writer's attitude towards the use of the modern running shoes?
A. Persuasive. B. Negative.
C. Objective. D. Supportive.
答案：
【语篇解读】 两项新的研究表明，穿着跑鞋跑步会增加跑步者受伤的风险，赤脚跑步反而可以避免这些损伤。
4. D 解析：主旨大意题。由文章的第一句及下文的研究结果可知，两项新的研究表明赤脚跑步可以避免奔跑带来的损伤，对跑步者有益。
5. B 解析：细节理解题。根据第四段的第一句“They found that running shoes create more stress that could damage knees，hips and ankle joints than running barefoot.”可知，穿跑鞋跑步可能会伤到臀部，应选择B。
6. A 解析：细节理解题。根据倒数第四段中的“But the study found that barefoot runners generally land on the front or middle of their foot. That way they ease into their landing and avoid striking their heels.”可知，赤脚跑步的人常用脚尖或脚的中间部位着地，这样可以避免伤到脚跟，应选择A。
7. C 解析：态度推断题。本文作者只是客观地介绍了两项研究结果，并没有对现代跑鞋的使用发表自己的看法，因此选择C。
C
I hear this from people all the time：“It's expensive to eat healthily.” To be clear, I understand that organic bread is a lot more expensive than Pop Tarts, but I also know that you can't put a price tag on your health or your life. I also know that the same people who tell me they can't afford to eat healthily are spending upwards of $30 a week on coffee, $6 or $7 for a pack of cigarettes, and at least $3 every day at the vending machine, but they can't afford to buy fresh fruit because it's “too expensive”. Wake up, people!
You are either going to spend your money at the grocery store or the doctor's office. If you think buying a few extra bananas is expensive, try pricing out diabetes, cancer, heart disease, or any number of other diseases that can be controlled, or avoided through diet.
Eating well and taking care of yourself is not a privilege reserved for the welloff-it's a right that everyone should exercise! I'm not rich by any means, but I budget my money in such a way that I can afford to eat healthfully. Some weeks I may not be able to afford lots of organics and other specialty items, but I can always afford to throw a couple extra bananas and apples in my grocery cart, along with some vegetables and a dozen eggs.
As a certified health coach, I work with so many people struggling with their health. When I tell them that the road to recovery can be found in their very own kitchens, they look so skeptical; that's because society wants us to believe that we have to buy a certain diet book, or invest in some fancy piece of gym equipment to make a change.
There are so many things money can't buy, such as good health, longevity. It's time to focus on what your life depends on! Don't “cheap out” on your health. Start to make the investment today!
8.What can we learn by reading the first paragraph?
A.Most people have little money for healthy food.
B.Coffee costs almost the most in every family.
C.People's health awareness should be improved.
D.Organic bread tastes far better than Pop Tarts.
9.Considering organic foods when shopping means ________.
A.you are making a good investment in yourself
B. you are burning too much money on food
C.you are making contributions to the environment
D. you are informed of numbers of diseases
10.How does the author do in daily life?
A.He lives a simple but meaningful life.
B.He attaches importance to his health.
C. He tends to eat fruits instead of foods.
D.He spends money when necessary.
11.What is the main idea of the passage?
A.Organic foods are sure to cost more money.
B.Your life is more important than your money.
C.Few people know how to make an investment.
D.It's really expensive to have healthy eating.

9.A'解析：推理判断题。依据文章第二段可知，通过饮食可以控制或避免像糖尿病、癌症、心脏病等疾病。因此多采购绿色食品意味着给自己的健康投资。故选A项。
10.B'解析：细节理解题。依据文章第三段的“budget my money in such a way that I can afford to eat healthfully”可知，作者在生活中，很注意健康饮食。故选B项。
