Ⅰ.阅读理解

A

(2018·南昌高三二模)A small family approached. The daughter was young and pretty. Her name was Blair, and she was obviously leaving. Her parents were not. The three gazed at the crowd and began their wait. Blair was twenty­three, fresh from graduate school with a handsome resume(简历) but not ready for a career. A friend from college was in Africa as a volunteer for Peace Work, which had inspired Blair to devote the next two years to helping others. Her assignment was in eastern Peru, where she would teach primitive little children how to read. She would live in a hut with no modern conveniences, no electricity, no phone, and she was anxious to begin her journey.

The flight would take her to Miami, then to Lima, then by bus for three days into the mountains, into another century. For the first time in her young and sheltered life, Blair would spend Christmas away from home.

Luther, her father, was sad that Blair was leaving. The good－byes had all been said. “Are you sure this is what you want？” had been asked for the hundredth time. Then, the first announcement was made, the one asking those in first class to come forward.

“I guess we'd better go，” Luther said to his daughter, his only child. They hugged again and fought back the tears. Blair smiled and said, “The year will fly by. I'll be home next Christmas.”

Nora, her mother, bit her lip and nodded and kissed her once more. “Please be careful，” she said because she couldn't stop saying it.

“I'll be fine.”

They released her and watched helplessly as she joined a long line and inched away, away from them, away from home and security and everything she'd ever known. They turned and got into endless sadness.

(2018·四川锦阳高三诊断)You might think the key to losing weight is to stay out of the kitchen—but maybe you just need to clean it. According to a new study, the amount of clutter and chaos in your kitchen—and your life—may directly influence the amount of food you eat.

The study, conducted by researchers at the Cornell Food and Brand Lab and published in the Environment and Behavior journal, evaluated 98 female participants as they sat in a kitchen with bowls of carrots and cookies to eat. Half of the subjects sat in a cluttered kitchen with dishes in the sink, newspapers on the table, and a nearby phone ringing off the hook. The other half sat in a quiet, tidy kitchen.

The women who sat in the cluttered kitchen ate twice as many cookies as the women in the clean kitchen, amounting to 53 more calories consumed over a 10­minute period. There was no effect on the amount of carrots that the women ate. What's more, the researchers found that when the women felt chaotic, the effect was magnified(放大)．

Before they stepped into the messy kitchen, some of the women were asked to write about a time in their lives when they felt totally in­control; others were asked to write about a time that they felt completely out­of­control. The women who wrote about feeling chaotic ate 100 more calories than those who wrote about feeling cool and collected.

“Being in a chaotic environment and feeling out of control is bad for diets，” explained lead author Lenny Vartanian, PhD, in a press release. “It seems to lead people to think, ‘Everything else is out of control,  so why shouldn't I be？’”

Bottom line: If you want to lose weight, you need to get control of your kitchen or your mind. You could try meditating (冥想) , yoga and exercise to help ease stress and give yourself a better mindset when you walk into the kitchen. Or you could just do those dishes in the sink.

语篇解读：本文是一篇说明文。研究表明，饮食量与环境及心情有很大的关系。

5．Why was a phone used in the experiment?

A．To decorate the kitchen.

B．To disturb the participants.

C．To meet the researchers' daily needs.

D．To suit the convenience of the participants.

[解析]　推理判断题。由第一段末的“the amount of clutter and chaos in your kitchen...  may directly influence the amount of food you eat”及第二段中的“Half of the subjects sat in a cluttered kitchen... a nearby phone ringing off the hook.”可推断，在杂乱的厨房里放置响个不停的电话是为了扰乱参与者，从而更好地研究环境与饮食量的关系。

[答案]　B
