Most people who go on diets soon gain back any lost weight, a UCLA study suggests.
Traci Mann, PhD, associate professor of psychology at UCLA, was teaching a seminar on the psychology of eating when she noticed something odd (奇怪的) about diet studies. Few of the studies followed up on dieters for more than six months. Even fewer followed dieters for a year or more.
Mann wondered what, in the long term, really happens when people go on diets. So she and her students tracked down 31 studies that, one way or another, had at least one year of follow-up data. They were interested in just one number: the percentage of dieters who, over time, gain back more weight than they lose.
“We found that the average percentage of people who gained back more weight than they lost on diets was 41%,” Mann tells WebMD. “In each of the studies, a third to two thirds of the subjects gained back more weight than they lost.”
Does this mean that most of the people in the studies actually lost weight and kept it off? No, Mann says.
“This is actually bleaker (更不乐观的) than it seems—even though most people would find that 41% number to be pretty depressing (令人沮丧的),” she says. “We have strong reasons to feel that this number underrepresents the true number of participants who gained back more weight than they lost.”
Mann and her colleagues report their findings in the April issue of American Psychologist.
24. Where can we find the problems with diet studies?
A. In Paragraph 2. B. In Paragraph 3.
C. In Paragraph 2 and 3 D. In Paragraph 4 and 5
25. What did they find after tracking down 31 studies?
A. Few studies followed dieters for a year or so.
B. Most studies had one year of follow-up data.
C. More and more people were on their way to diet.
D. Almost a half of dieters gained back more weight.
26. What does the underlined word "subjects" in Paragraph 4 refer to?
A. Diet studies. B. Dieters. C. Diet researchers. D. Diet findings.
27. What is the best title for the text?
A. Diets Don't Work Long-term B. Lifestyle Change Is Really Hard
C. Diet Is Easier Said Than Done D. Diet Studies Have Their Problems

C
Australia, France or… Mars? When considering a place to emigrate to, Mars might not be the best choice in your list, but according to an online survey, more than one in ten of British would accept a one-way ticket there. Yes, you read that correctly —because the Mars One mission is looking to emigrate to Mars, the first voyagers will not be able to return back to Earth. The organizers suggest applicants think over their applications, because the agreement didn’t come with a return ticket. But still thousands of people agreed to it.
The Mars One aims to construct a human settlement on Mars. Thankfully, applications for the program are entirely voluntary and potential astronauts can back out at any time during the strict selection process.
In order to apply, the candidate must be over 18, have A2 English level and be adaptable and curious. The following selection process consists of four rounds.
The first round is an online application including general information and a one-minute video in which the applicant answers some given questions and explains why he or she should be among the first humans to set foot on Mars. At the end of the first round, a team of Mars One experts will decide which applicants will pass to the next round.
The remaining applicants must then provide a medical statement from their doctor stating that they have met all the requirements. Successful candidates will then be briefly interviewed by Mars One’s chief medical officer Norbert Kraft.
One-hundred healthy, smart candidates are then in the third round which will test their team work ability and communication skills through a series of group challenges.
The final part of the testing process is the ability to stay alone. Even the best astronauts in history can hardly enjoy the silent space. Following this challenge, the forty remaining candidates will be reduced to thirty who will then undergo the Mars Settler Suitability Interview. Following on from the first selection series, international crews of up to six groups of four will become full time employees of Mars One.
28．What is the organizers’ attitude towards the online survey result?
A．Understandable. B．Satisfied. C．Unexpected. D．Doubtful.
29．What does the underlined phrase “back out” in paragraph 2 mean?
A．Stop carrying out the agreement. B．Move out of space backwards.
C．Drive aircrafts backwards and leave. D．Fail to pay attention to the advertisement.
30．What do the Mars One experts mainly do in the first round?
A．Test the candidates’ English level.
B．Check the basic information of participants.
C．Interview the candidates and collect the forms.
D．Determine whether candidates are eager to learn.
31．What is the most challenging for the participants?
A．Their skills to communicate with others.
B．Their excellent physical health at present.
C．Their abilities to cooperate with the team.
D．Their long-time adaptability to being alone.

D
Getting rid of dirt, in the opinion of most people, is a good thing. However, there is nothing fixed about attitudes to dirt.
In the early 16th century, people thought that dirt on the skin was a means to block out disease, as medical opinion had it that washing off dirt with hot water could open up the skin and let ills in. A particular danger was thought to lie in public baths. By 1538, the French king had closed the bath houses in his kingdom. So did the king of England in 1546. Thus it began a long time when the rich and the poor in Europe lived with dirt in a friendly way. Henry IV, King of France, was famously dirty. Upon learning that a nobleman had taken a bath, the king ordered that, to avoid the attack of disease, the nobleman should not go out.
Though the belief in the merit of dirt was long-lived, dirt has no longer been regarded as a nice neighbor ever since the 18th century. Scientifically speaking, cleaning away dirt is good to health. Clean water supply and hand washing are practical means of preventing disease. Yet, it seems that standards of cleanliness have moved beyond science since World War II. Advertisements repeatedly sell the idea; clothes need to be whiter than white, cloths ever softer, surfaces to shine. Has the hate for dirt, however, gone too far?
Attitudes to dirt still differ hugely nowadays. Many first-time parents nervously try to warn their children of touching dirt, which might be responsible for the spread of disease. On the contrary, Mary Ruebush, an American immunologist(免疫学家),encourages children to play in the dirt to build up a strong immune system. And the latter position is gaining some ground.
32.The kings of France and England in the 16th century closed bath houses because_______.
A. they lived healthily in a dirty environment.
B. they thought bath houses were to dirty to stay in
C. they believed disease could be spread in public baths
D. they considered bathing as the cause of skin disease
33. Which of the following best describes Henry IV's attitude to bathing?
A. Afraid B. Curious C. Approving D. Uninterested
34. How does the passage mainly develop?
A. By providing examples. B. By making comparisons.
C. By following the order of time. D. By following the order of importance.
35. What is the author's purpose in writing the passage?
A. To stress the role of dirt.
B. To introduce the history of dirt.
C. To call attention to the danger of dirt.
D. To present the change of views on dirt.

第二节（共5小题；每小题2分，满分10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。
Language expresses our identity and reflects who we are, and who we want to be. Every time we speak, we give listeners information about ourselves and where we're from. When we travel around the United States we often hear people ask: Oh, are you from New York/Chicago/ Texas? ___36___ Their guesses might be based on our phonology(also called accent)or on our choice of particular vocabulary.
Interestingly, many of us consider our way of speaking to be neutral (无倾向性的). It's hard for us to hear features of our own speech that might be obvious to people who speak other dialects (方言). Language experts use the term dialect to mean "a variety shared by a group of speakers". ___37___Bus drivers, teachers, your neighbors, CEOs of Fortune 500 companies and you (whether you know it or not) speak a dialect, too.
___38___And why? The answer depends on who you are and where you live. We all recognize that some language sounds pleasant or correct or cool to us--and some sounds "uneducated" or just plain bad. ___39___
Learning what we feel about language is important to society for a number of reasons. Often, children who speak non-standard dialects may be inaccurately classified as "not knowing much English" or even "having a speech defect (缺陷)＂, with terrible consequences for them. Or people who regularly mix words or phrases from more than one language within sentences are thought to be unable to speak the languages very well. (But usually the opposite is true.)
Studying language helps us learn about the remarkable resources of the human brain. ___40___It also helps us examine a form of social stereotyping we may not have been aware existed.
A. There are also many other reasons.
B. Or at least, where are you from?
C. It helps us learn more about social organization.
D. Clearly, they know everything about us.
E. With so many dialects, which one is the best?
F. By this definition, everyone speaks a dialect.
G. But one person's thumbs down is another' s thumbs up.

作文
Ladies and Gentlemen,
Good afternoon! I’m Li Hua, aged 17, a sunny and outgoing middle school student as you see. Today, it’s my honor to stand here giving a speech with the title of “Dreams Lighten My Life”.
Everyone embraces different dreams to lighten or to contribute to the great rejuvenation of the Chinese nation. When it comes to me, I’ve been dreaming of becoming a doctor since childhood. When I see people suffering and dying of illnesses, I made up my mind to help the sick and cure them of their diseases. I hope to see a world where there is no cancer, no Aids, no fatal diseases.
Admittedly, to pursue and fulfill my dream, I will always keep it in mind so as to try most to be admitted by a key medical university, thus learning the essential knowledge and accumulating a great deal of experience. This is my dream, lightening my life far ahead. Now I believe I have one more step to close to it, right?
Thank you for your listening!

24-27 ADBA
【解析】这是一篇说明文。文章讲述了Traci Mann和她的团队的调查结果表明：节食减肥是不会长久有效的，甚至会出现体重的反弹。
24. 细节理解题。根据第二段关键句“Traci Mann, PhD, associate professor of psychology at UCLA, was teaching a seminar on the psychology of eating when she noticed something odd (奇怪的) about diet studies.”可知，Traci Mann在教一个关于饮食心理学的研讨课时，她注意到饮食研究中的一些奇怪的事情。再根据第二段关键句“Few of the studies followed up on dieters for more than six months. Even fewer followed dieters for a year or more.”可知，Traci Mann发现很少有研究对节食者进行了超过六个月的跟踪调查。跟踪节食者一年或更长时间的人就更少了。由此可推断出，在第二段中我们可以找到关于饮食研究上出现的问题，问题是没有对节食者进行长时间的跟踪调查。故选A项。
25. 细节理解题。根据第四段关键句“We found that the average percentage of people who gained back more weight than they lost on diets was 41%”可知，通过对31项研究的追踪调查发现，随着时间的推移，有41%的人体重增加了，甚至比他们节食时减少的体重要多。由此可推断出，通过对31项研究的追踪调查发现，几乎一半的节食者体重增加的数量比节食时减少的数量还要多。故选D项。
26. 词句猜测题。划线词所在句上一句告诉我们“通过追踪调查发现，有41%的人体重增加了，甚至比他们节食时减少的体重要多”。划线词所在句意为：在每一项研究中，三分之一到三分之二的_____体重增加的幅度比他们减掉的要多。通过上句可知，是41%的参加节食减肥的人体重增加了，由此可推断出，划线词所代表的应该是“节食减肥的人”。Dieters意为“节食者，减肥者”，符合句意。故选B项。
27. 主旨大意题。根据文章内容及第四段关键句“We found that the average percentage of people who gained back more weight than they lost on diets was 41%”可知，文章主要讲述了Traci Mann和她的团队通过对31项研究至少一年的追踪调查发现，随着时间的推移，有41%的节食减肥者体重增加的幅度比他们减掉的要多，这个百分比有可能会更多。由此可推断出，文章主要是告我们一个研究结果：节食减肥不会有长久的效果，甚至会反弹。Diets Don't Work Long-term意为“节食减肥不能长久有效”，能够概括文章主旨。故选A项。

28-31 CABD
【分析】这是一篇说明文。根据一项在线调查，超过十分之一的英国人愿意购买去火星的单程票，“火星一号”计划的目标是移居火星，首批旅行者将无法返回地球。文章主要介绍这项申请的开展过程以及对参与者的要求和参与者会面临的一些挑战。
28．推理判断题。根据第一段中“The organizers suggest applicants think over their applications, because the agreement didn’t come with a return ticket. But still thousands of people agreed to it. (组织者建议申请者考虑一下自己的申请，因为协议没有附带回程票。但还是有成千上万的人同意了)”but表示转折，可推知，组织者对在线调查结果感到意外。故选C。
29．词句猜测题。根据画线词上文“Thankfully, applications for the program are entirely voluntary and potential astronauts can”以及后文“at any time during the strict selection process”可知，该计划的申请完全是自愿的，由此推知在严格的选拔过程中，未来的宇航员们可以随时停止执行协议。故画线词意思是“停止执行协议”。故选A。
30．细节理解题。根据第四段“The first round is an online application including general information and a one-minute video in which the applicant answers some given questions and explains why he or she should be among the first humans to set foot on Mars. At the end of the first round, a team of Mars One experts will decide which applicants will pass to the next round.(第一轮是一份在线申请，包括基本信息和一分钟的视频。申请者在视频中回答一些问题，并解释为什么自己应该成为第一批踏上火星的人。 第一轮投票结束后，“火星一号”的专家团队将决定哪些申请人进入下一轮)”可知，火星一号专家在第一轮主要查看参与者的基本信息。故选B。
31．细节理解题。根据最后一段中“The final part of the testing process is the ability to stay alone. Even the best astronauts in history can hardly enjoy the silent space.(测试过程的最后一部分是独处的能力。即使是历史上最优秀的宇航员也很难享受这个安静的空间)”可知，对参与者来说，最具挑战性的是他们对独处的长期适应能力。故选D。

32-35 CACD
试题分析：本文主要讲述的是在历史的发展过程中，人们对于灰尘的看法是在不停地发生着变化。
32. 细节题。根据第二段2，3行as medical opinion had it that washing off dirt with hot water could open up the skin and let ills in. A particular danger was thought to lie in public baths.说明他们认为在浴室里还传染疾病的，所以才下令关闭浴室。故选C
33. 推理题。根据第二段最后3行Henry IV, King of France, was famously dirty. Upon learning that a nobleman had taken a bath, the king ordered that, to avoid the attack of disease, the nobleman should not go out. 说明他很害怕疾病的传播，所以才把这位贵族驱逐出去，故选A
34. 推理题。根据第二段In the early 16th century和 did the king of England in 1546. 以及Henry IV, King of France, was famously dirty. 说明本文是按照时间的顺序来组织全文的。故选C
35. 主旨大意题。根据文章主题段第一段Getting rid of dirt, in the opinion of most people, is a good thing. However, there is nothing fixed about attitudes to dirt. 和最后一段Attitudes to dirt still differ hugely nowadays. Many first-time parents nervously try to warn their children off touching dirt, which might be responsible for the spread of disease.都说明人们对于dirt的看法是在不停地变化之中的，故选D

七选五 36-40 BFEGC
【解析】本文是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍了语言的作用，它能够表明我们的身份等信息，了解我们对语言的感受对社会很重要并且研究语言能够带来很多好处。
36.考查段中句。前文提到：语言表达了我们的身份，反映了我们是谁，我们想成为谁。每次我们说话时，我们都会向听众提供有关自己以及我们来自何处的信息。当我们在美国旅行时，经常听到人们问：哦，您来自纽约/芝加哥/德克萨斯州吗？后文提到：他们的猜测可能是基于我们的音韵学，也叫口音，或者我们选择的特定词汇。B项（或者至少，你从哪儿来?）与上下文连接通顺，该选项与前面的问题是在人们旅行时被问到的问题，人们问的这些问题是基于旅行者所说的话语的。故选B。
37.考查段中句。前文提到：有趣的是，我们许多人认为我们的说话方式是中立的。对于说其他方言的人来说，我们很难听到自己的语音特征。语言学家使用方言一词来表示“一组说话者共享的一种变体”。后文提到：公共汽车司机，老师，您的邻居，财富 500强公司的首席执行官以及您（无论您是否知道）也说方言。F项（按照这个定义，每个人都说一种方言。）与上下文连接通顺，该选项中的definition指的是前一句语言学家对方言的定义，下文具体的举例子说明每个人都讲方言。故选F。
38.考查段首句。后文提到：为什么呢？答案取决于你是谁，住在哪里。我们都认识到，某些语言听起来对我们而言是令人愉快的或正确的或时尚的，而某些声音则是“未受过教育的”或简直就是不好的。E项（有那么多种方言，哪一种是最好的？）与下文连接通顺，该选项中的so many dialects与上文每个人都讲方言相对应，下文对之前的两个问题进行了回答，即人们的身份和住址影响到人们对于方言的评价和判断。故选E。
39.考查段尾句。前文提到：有趣的是，我们许多人认为我们的说话方式是中立的。对于说其他方言的人来说，我们很难听到自己的语音特征。语言学家使用方言一词来表示“一组说话者共享的一种变体”。后文提到：公共汽车司机，老师，您的邻居，财富 500强公司的首席执行官以及您（无论您是否知道）也说方言。G项（但是一个人认可的方言另一个人可能会不接受。）与上文连接通顺，该选项中的thumbs up指的是人们对方言的认可和支持，thumbs down指的是人们对方言的否定和批判。对一种方言的评价，不同的人有不同的看法。故选G。
40.考查段中句。前文提到：学习语言有助于我们了解人脑的重要资源。后文提到：这也有助于我们研究一种我们可能不知道存在的社会定型观念。C项（它可以帮助我们更多地了解社会组织。）与上下文连接通顺，该段落连续使用三个句子来说明研究语言能够带来的好处。故选C。

改错
【分析】这是一篇记叙文。主要讲述了作者带Jack去看中医，Jack对中药疗效感到惊讶的故事。
【详解】
1.考查非谓语动词。句意：看到这个，我主动提出带他去诊所。分析句子可知，句中存在谓语动词offered，且see 与其逻辑主语 I 之间是主动关系，所以用现在分词形式作状语，位于句首，首字母大写。故将See 改为Seeing。
2.考查代词。句意：医生问 Jack ，他是否咳嗽很久了。根据上文的“him”可知，Jack是男孩，作主语用人称代词主格he，故将she改为he。
3.考查冠词。句意：医生问 Jack ，他是否咳嗽很久了。分析句子可知，此处a long time是固定搭配意为“很长一段时间”。故在long前加 a。
4.考查名词。句意：Jack 立刻点了点头。根据句意可知，此处表示Jack点了点头，head应用单数，故将heads改为head。
5.考查连词。句意：医生写了一个处方，处方上写着一些关于如何服用中药的指导。根据句意，此处表示“如何服用中药”，用how“如何”，what“什么”不符合语境。故将what改为how。
6.考查介词。句意：当 Jack 尝了药后差点吐了出来。taste表示“品尝”，是及物动词，接宾语无需介词，故去掉tasted后的to。
7.考查动词时态和主谓一致。句意：我用一句老话安慰他，“良药苦口利于病”。描述客观事实用一般现在时，且主语medicine是单数，谓语相应地用单数，故将tasted改为tastes。
8.考查副词。句意：杰克不情愿地吞下了它们。修饰动词用副词作状语，故将unwilling改为unwillingly。
9.考查数词。句意：但是三天后他康复了，他对中药的疗效感到惊讶。three days later“三天后”，修饰复数名词days用基数词three。故将third改为three。
10. 考查形容词。句意：但是三天后他康复了，他对中药的疗效感到惊讶。分析句子可知，此处形容词修饰人，表示人的感受，使用amazed，amazing修饰物，表示事物的特征,不符题意。故将amazing 改为amazed。

One of Britain's most famous modern writers is Harold Pinter. Born in 1930, Pinter wrote 29 plays for the theatre and 27screenplays for the cinema, as well as many radio and television plays. One of his best-known plays is The Birthday Party. The Birthday Party, the first full-length play Pinter wrote, had its world premiere at the Arts Theatre, in Cambridge, England, on the 28th of April 1958. Although the play was initially well received, when it opened in London a few weeks later on the 19th of May, it was a commercial and critical failure, closing after only eight performances. However, a few days later, one of the country's most famous critics wrote extremely positively about the play in a Sunday newspaper, helping to make it one of the most famous plays ever.
The Birthday Party is about Stanley Webber, a piano player in his 30s, who lives in an English seaside town, not too far from London. Two strangers, Goldberg and McCann, arrive on his birthday, turning his birthday party into a nightmare. Harold Pinter presented a special anniversary performance of the play at London's Lyric Theatre on the 19th of May 2008, exactly 50 years after its London Premiere. Pinter died later the same year on the24th of December.
