[社會生活型閱讀理解(一)]

　　(限時：25分鐘)A

　　I've spent over a year in India, and in those 365 plus days, I've learned a lot about getting around Indian cities. My biggest lessons have been learned through being cheated, particularly by taxi and rickshaw (人力車) drivers, but that doesn't mean those are bad ways to travel, as long as you know what you're doing. Below are the best ways to get around the city of Delhi, India, and tips for how to keep from being the victim of scams (欺詐)．is a great way to get around the city of Delhi and chances are, if you arrive in Delhi by plane, as soon as you make it through customs, you'll be swarmed by Indian taxi drivers. At the Delhi airport, be sure to arrange for a taxi to your hotel at one of the two Delhi Traffic Police Taxi Booths. One is inside the airport, and the other is outside. The key is to make sure to go to a booth run by the police, rather than by independent taxi drivers.

　　Rickshaws are one of my favourite ways to get around Indian cities, in part because it's how the locals often travel. Auto-rickshaws are more common, but bicycle rickshaws are still used in Old Delhi. If you do have a chance to take a bicycle rickshaw, you should do it at least once for a unique experience that should only set you back about 15 rupees. Auto-rickshaw rates around Delhi range between 30 and 80 rupees, depending on the distance.

　　If you really want to travel around Delhi like the locals, take a public bus. Indian buses become very crowded and most do not have air conditioning. They are, however, very cheap. A bus trip won't set you back any more than 15 rupees, as long as you stay within the city limits. Since Indian buses get so crowded, try to board the bus at the start of the route so you can get a seat.

　　The train is a great way to get around within the city of Delhi. Fares are reasonable, between 6 and 22 rupees. All departure announcements are in both Hindi and English, and tokens can be purchased for between 6 and 22 rupees.

　　1. The author is trying to ________ in Delhi through this text.

　　A．give some advice of travelling

　　B．expect us to travel around

　　C．show his/her experiences

　　D．explain the difficulties of travelling

　　2. To avoid being cheated, you ought to ________ if you want to take a taxi at the Delhi airport.

　　A．pay more to the drivers to keep safe

　　B．show your ticket to the driver

　　C．go to a police-run booth

　　D．go out of the airport

　　3. The author suggests taking a rickshaw in order to ________．save some money

　　B．enjoy the comfortable trip

　　C．gain a unique experience

　　D．help the local rickshaw drivers

　　4. What can we infer from the passage?

　　A．You won't have to pay much if you travel around by bus in India.

　　B．It will be difficult for you to get a seat if you get on the bus halfway.

　　C．A rickshaw driver only charges whatever amount you give him.

　　D．You'll have to speak English if you travel around in India.

　　5. Which may be the topic that follows?

　　A．Hotel recommendations in Delhi

　　B．Weather conditions in Delhi

　　C．Food and drink in Delhi

　　D．Car rentals in Delhi

　　B

　　Life is to be enjoyed. There's no point in giving up something you enjoy unless you get something back that's even better. When people eat more healthfully, exercise, quit smoking, and manage stress better, they find that they feel so much better that it reconstructs the reason for making these changes from fear of dying to joy of living. The latest studies show that when you exercise and eat right:

　　YOUR BRAIN receives more blood flow and oxygen, so you become smarter, think more clearly, have more energy, and need less sleep. Two studies showed that just walking for three hours per week for only three months caused so many new neurons (神經(jīng)細胞) to grow that it actually increased the size of people's brains!

　　YOUR FACE receives more blood flow, so your_skin_glows more and wrinkles less. You look younger and more attractive. In contrast, an unhealthy diet, chronic emotional stress and smoking reduce blood flow to your face so you age more quickly. Smoking accelerates aging because nicotine causes your arteries (動脈) to narrow down, which decreases blood flow to your face and makes it wrinkle earlier. This is why smokers look years older than they really are.

　　YOUR GENES change. In May, a study was published in the proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences showing that changing your lifestyle changes your genes.

　　YOUR TELOMERES (染色體端粒) get longer. Telomeres are the ends of our chromosomes (染色體) that control how long we live. As telomeres become shorter, then cells age more quickly, thus shortening your life.

　　Besides, one of the most interesting findings in the study was that the mothers' awareness of stress was more important than what was really occurring in their lives. The researchers gave the women a questionnaire and asked them to rate on a three-point scale how stressed they felt each day, and how out of control their lives felt to them. The women who were aware that they were under heavy stress had significantly shortened and damaged telomeres compared with those who felt more relaxed. On the contrary, some of the women who felt relaxed despite raising a disabled child had more normal-appearing telomeres.

　　In other words, if you feel stressed, you are stressed; if you feel fine, you are fine.

　　1. Which of the following are good for lengthening one's life, according to the passage?

　　① eat healthy food

　　② drink plenty of water

　　③ take exercise

　　④ get up early

　　⑤ go to sleep early

　　⑥ release one's stress

　　A．①③⑥

　　B．①②③n Paragraph 3 are closest in meaning to “________”．your skin becomes white as there is plenty of sunshine

　　B．your skin becomes smooth as there is much blood in it

　　C．your skin looks pink as you are healthy

　　D．your skin becomes soft as you exercise enough

　　3. In the author's opinion, when you exercise and eat right, you will experience some changes EXCEPT ________．brains becoming cleverer

　　B．faces having fewer wrinkles

　　C．a(chǎn)rteries turning narrower

　　D．genes being changed

　　4. From the last but one paragraph we learn that ________．mothers will have more damaged telomeres if they raise a disabled child

　　B．mothers don't know how to handle stress effectively

　　C．some women were asked to fill out a questionnaire about educating children

　　D．mothers' positive attitudes are the key to managing their stress

　　5. The best title for the passage would be “________”．Eat better, live better

　　專題限時訓練(二十)【要點綜述】 本文作者就自己在印度德里旅行時的交通方面提出了幾點建議。　通讀全文，我們可以看出，作者在本文中給讀者提出了一些建議，告訴讀者在德里旅行時應注意的一些問題。因此，本文的寫作目的也就是要給讀者提出建議。　根據(jù)第二段的最后一句可知，在機場搭乘出租車時，應到警察經(jīng)營的攤位。　根據(jù)第三段的第三句可知，作者建議乘坐人力車以獲得一種獨特的體驗。由本文第一段的最后一句可知，本文主要介紹了關于在德里交通方面避免受騙的幾點建議。在給出的幾個選項當中，只有D項與交通有關。據(jù)此，我們可以確定后面最有可能要討論的是汽車租賃業(yè)務。【要點綜述】 本文是一篇調查報告，講述了生活方式對于健康的重要性。When people eat more healthfully, exercise, quit smoking, and manage stress better…”可知答案。文中并沒有提到②④⑤項。　根據(jù)前文信息“YOUR FACE receives more blood flow…”可知，glow 在文中的意思為“臉色紅潤”。故選擇C項。　根據(jù)文章第三Smoking accelerates aging because nicotine causes your arteries(動脈) to narrow down…”可知，是尼古丁使動脈變窄。故C項錯誤。　根據(jù)文章的倒數(shù)第二段第一句話“Besides, one of the most interesting findings in the study was that the mothers' awareness of stress was more important than what was really occurring in their lives.”以及后面的調查結果顯示可知，母親們對待壓力的態(tài)度是其能否成功應對壓力的關鍵。故D項正確。　綜合文章第二、第三、第四、第五段，可以看出，當心情好時，新的神經(jīng)細胞不斷生長、動脈變寬、基因改變、染色體端粒變長，因此人的壽命也會相應地變長，所以選擇B項，其他選項都是片面的。【要點綜述 文章主要講述了Big Brothers Big Sisters這樣一個項目，該項目為情感上容易受挫折的孩子提供了幫助。　根據(jù)文章第一段第二句“It is a programme which provides friendship and fun by matching vulnerable young people…”可知，這個項目是“通過讓成人陪伴一些內心比較脆弱的孩子，從而來提供友誼和樂趣”。A選項是說為學生提供公共服務；B選項是說幫C選項是說為年輕人組織體育活動；D選項是說給年輕人提供友情和樂趣。所以選D。　根據(jù)文章第三段第一句可知，志愿者要每年至少參加12個月，每個月三到四次，每次花一到四個小時。由此可以得出，志愿者一年之內最少要工作12×3×1＝36小時。　根據(jù)文章第六段第一句“…by ‘providing different feedback(反饋) about herself other than just…’．”可知，這個項目可以向Emily的媽媽提供一些關于她孩子不同的反饋，而不是僅僅只依賴同學的評價來評估Emily的自我價值。C　根據(jù)文章第七段最后一句“…because sometimes it's all work and no play.”可知Sarah想要通過參加這個項目來找些事兒做，因為有時候生活充滿了工作而沒有放松。A：她曾經(jīng)是一個志愿者；B：她需要一份兼職工作；C：她感覺生活有點兒無趣；D：她想要獲C。　由文章的第一段可知這個項目可以為這些孩子提供玩伴和樂趣。再由文章的第三段可以得知，這個項目可以為孩子們提高自尊、自信和找準生活方向。再由文章的第五段可以得知，Emily在學校很難被同學接受。綜上分析，可以得出，vulnerable young people是指“情感上容易受傷害的人”。
