news reports and television shows reporting on the quality of school lunches.According to federal guidelines,French fries count as a serving of vegetables.Many parents and others are upset that a salty,deep-fried food is replacing healthier options like carrot sticks.As a result,the potatowhat French fries are made ofhas been getting a bad rap.“The problem is not the potato,” insists Greg.“Potatoes are very healthy.But any food,even the carrot or lettuce(生菜),will be less healthy if its cooked in grease(油脂).”Two months ago,Greg decided to eat nothing but potatoes for 60 days.As a high school science teacher and son of a potato farmer,he wanted to do something to draw attention to potatoes as a healthy food and a good choice as part of anyones regular meals.“Its been an interesting experience,”Greg said.“For a while,I wasnt sure I would make it.I was pretty tired of eating potatoes after a few weeks.”But for Greg there were some benefits that he hadnt expected.Hes lost 15 pounds and he feels better than he has in years.“I have so much more energy,”he says.“Ive been running and playing on a local basketball team,and I feel like Im playing as well as I did when I was in high school.”And Greg has gotten a lot of attention,much more than he expected.“Its been fantastic.Thousands of people have read my blog.Ive been sharing recipes and talking about the experience.Every day I get to tell people what a great idea it is to eat potatoes.”Greg is glad to be back to a normal diet,but he still eats potatoes at least 5 or 6 times a week.“Everyone should!” he says with a smile.“Potatoes are healthy and taste great!”1.What does the underlined part “getting a bad rap” in Paragraph 2 mean?A.Receiving little attention.B.Obtaining an unfair judgement.C.Getting more and more popular.D.Being good for peoples health.2.Why did Greg decide to eat potatoes only?A.Because potatoes are cheap.B.To draw attention to himself.C.To prove that

potatoes for 60 days,Greg .A.became a little weakB.became much healthierC.could not eat potatoes any moreD.decided to keep eating potatoes onlyBGrandparents who help out occasionally with childcare in their munity tend to live longer than seniors who do not care for other people，according to a study from Berlin，Germany.“Having no contact with grandchildren at all can negatively impact grandparents health.This link could be deeply rooted in our evolutionary past when help with childcare was important for the survival of the human species，”said Sonja Hilbrand，one of the researchers.The findings are drawn from data on more than 500 people over age 70.Overall，after accounting for grandparents age and general state of health，the risk of dying over a 20year period was onethird lower for grandparents who cared for their grandchildren，pared with grandparents who provided no childcare.Caregiving was associated with a longer life even when the care receiver wasnt a relative.Half of all childless seniors who provided support to friends or neighbors lived for seven years after the study began，while nonhelpers lived for four years on average.“Caregiving may give caregivers a purpose of life because they may feel useful for others and society.Caregiving may be thought also as an activity that keeps caregivers physically and mentally active，”said Professor Bruno Arpino.Arpino noted，however, that caregiving is not the only activity that can improve health and that too many caring responsibilities can take away from other beneficial activities like working，being in social clubs，or volunteering.“Children should take_into_account their parents needs，willingness，and desires and agree with them on the timing and amount of childcare，”he suggested.“It is very important that every individual decides for himself/herself, what proper amounts of help means，”Hilbrand said，adding，“As long as you do not feel stressed about the intensity (強度)of help you provide you may be doing something good for others as well as for yourself.”1What is the caregiving study based on?AHuman evolutionary history.BDemand of modern society.CSocial contact between relatives.DData on many elderly people.2In Arpinos opinion，childcare _.Ais sure to keep old people away from illnessesBallows old people to live a more meaningful lifeCcreates more job opportunities for old peopleDmakes social activities inaccessible to old people3What does the underlined part“take into account”in Paragraph 6 probably mean?ALimit. BIgnore.CFavor. DConsider.4What does the last paragraph tell us?AGrandparents can do anything in their own interests.BGrandparents should share more social responsibilities.CProper amounts of childcare do good to grandparents.DCaregiving guarantees every grandparent a longer life.【解題導(dǎo)語】德國柏林一項研究發(fā)現(xiàn)，祖父母適當(dāng)?shù)貛兔φ疹檶O輩比不照顧孫輩的老年人壽命長。難句分析：Overall, after accounting for grandparents age and general state of health，the risk of dying over a 20year period was onethird lower for grandparents who cared for their grandchildren, pared with grandparents who provided no childcare.分析：本句為主從復(fù)合句。其中，Overall在此為副詞，在句中作狀語；after為介詞，其后接動名詞短語作賓語；兩個who均引導(dǎo)定語從句pared with grandparents who.為過去分詞短語作狀語。譯文：總的來說，在考慮祖父母的年齡和大致的健康狀況后，與那些沒照顧孫輩的祖父母相比，那些照顧孫輩的祖父母在20年間的死亡風(fēng)險要低三分之一。1D推理判斷題。根據(jù)文章第三段第一句The findings are drawn from data on more than 500 people over age 70.可知，這一發(fā)現(xiàn)是從對500多個70歲以上的老人的數(shù)據(jù)分析得來的。故選D項。2B推理判斷題。根據(jù)題干中的Arpinos opinion定位至文章第五段中的“Caregiving may give caregivers a purpose of life because they may feel useful for others and society.”可知，看護小孩讓看護人覺得生活有了目的，因為他們覺得自己對他人和社會是有用的，也就是說，看護小孩可以使他們感覺生活得有意義。故選B項。3D詞義猜測題。根據(jù)上文中too many caring responsibilities can take away from other beneficial activities及后面的“.their parents needs，willingness，and desires and agree with them on the timing and amount of childcare，”可知，過多的照看責(zé)任會使老人無法從事其他有意義的活動，所以孩子應(yīng)考慮老人的需求、意愿和渴求，同意他們照顧孩子的時間長度和強度的選擇。由此可猜測，take into account意為“考慮”，與consider意義相近。故選D項。4C細節(jié)理解題。根據(jù)最后一段中“As long as you do not feel stressed about the intensity of help you provide you may be doing something good for others as well as for yourself.”可知，只要你幫忙的強度不會讓你感到有壓力，這對他人、對你自己都是有好處的。由此可知，適當(dāng)?shù)卣疹櫺『ψ娓改赣泻锰?。故選C項。.完形填空(2016沈陽第一次質(zhì)量監(jiān)測)I was 11 when you were born,and in your first few years I often looked after

1).【解題導(dǎo)語】本文是記敘文。一位高中教師通過堅持60天內(nèi)只吃土豆來證明土豆是健康的食品。1.B詞義猜測題。由上文的“.French fries count as a serving of vegetables.Many parents and others are upset that a salty,deep-fried food is replacing healthier options like carrot sticks.”及下文的“The problem is not the potato, insists Greg.if its cooked in grease.”可推斷,很多家長和其他人為學(xué)校午餐中用炸薯條代替了健康的食品感到沮喪,所以炸薯條的原料土豆得到了不公平的評價。而格雷格認為炸薯條不健康主要問題不在于土豆而在于烹飪方式。2.C細節(jié)理解題。由第四段中的“.he wanted to do something to draw attention to potatoes as a healthy food and a good choice as part of anyones regular meals.”可知,格雷格之所以決定只吃土豆是為了證明土豆是健康食品。3.D細節(jié)理解題。由第五段中的“I was pretty tired of eating potatoes after a few weeks.”可知。4.B細節(jié)理解題。由倒數(shù)第三段中的“Hes lost 15 pounds and he feels better.”可知,連續(xù)60天吃土豆后,格雷格變得更加健康了。.【解題導(dǎo)語】本文主要講述了作者陪伴妹妹成長過程中的點點滴滴。1.A根據(jù)空后的以of開頭的句子可知,此處指“我”對你的童年有清晰的(vivid)記憶。painful意為“痛苦的”;admirable意為“值得贊賞的”;awful意為“可怕的”。故A項正確。2.B把你裝扮成“搖滾明星”。put
