Unit 1 Living well.阅读理解A(2017江西宜春调研)The results of a small but telling new study suggest that medicare and other insurers could be spent billions of dollars on screening smokers for lung cancer that would be better spent on helping them stop and keeping others from starting.The new study indicated that screening more often supported smokers beliefs that they could safely continue to smoke. Most participants remained smokers because they believed screening could catch cancer early before it would threaten their lives.“They compared how hard it was to quit smoking with how easy it was to be screened，”said Steven B. Zeliadt, the lead author of the study.“They think theres this wonderful painless test that can save lives.”He and seven colleagues conducted the study of 37 current smokers who were offered lung cancer screening at Department of Veteran Affairs.After being screened and told the results, they were interviewed about their smokingrelated health beliefs. For about half of those in whom cancer was not found，“Screening lowered their motivation for quitting，”the team reported in July in JAMA Internal Medicine. The participants focused only on lung cancer, ignoring other potential harm of smoking, the researchers wrote.A national study published four years ago found that annual CT screening for lung cancer three years in a row could reduce deaths among heavy smokers by about 20%.In an interview, Dr. Harris said，“Screening is being believed by people as an alternative to stopping smoking. But stopping smoking would have huge benefits for the individual and society.”Furthermore, smoking causes many other cancers.Dr. Harris agreed that rather than screening, money is better spent on smoking prevention. He suggested providing free stopsmoking aids, sponsoring antismoking advertising and raising taxes on tobacco products and the age at which people are allowed to buy them.1What does the new study suggest?AScreening technology remains to be advanced and more effective.BScreening can find cancer in patients and give them timely treatment.CHelping people quit smoking is better than screening them for cancer.DAdmitting smoking before screening can help one to stop smoking.2What effect can screening have on smokers?AThey will be scared by the result and quit smoking.BThey will believe it can catch and treat cancer early.CThey will lose hope and go on smoking.DThey will know screening costs less than smoking.3What does the underlined word “they”(in Paragraph 5) refer to?AThe smokers screened in the study.BSteven Zeliadt and his colleagues.CDr. Harris and his patients.DThe patients health beliefs.4Which of the following can be a suitable title for the passage?AThe Effect of Screening for Cancer PatientsBScreening Alone Doesnt Do the WorkCScreening Has a Say in Cancer DetectingDScreening May Not Push Smokers to Quit【语篇导读】随着医学的发达，通过拍片能够及早发现烟民是否患有肺癌。但这一做法却带来了不好的一面：没有检查出疾病的人会继续抽烟，因为他们认为医学能够帮助他们及时发现癌症并进行治疗。1解析：选C。细节理解题。第一段谈到一项新研究的发现时说，该发现表明，医疗和其他保险机构花大量的钱给烟民拍X光检查肺癌，但其实这笔钱用来帮他们戒烟的效果更好，故选C项。2解析：选B。细节理解题。第二段说，大部分参与拍片的病人都会觉得，拍X光能够及时找出癌症，因此就会继续抽烟，故选B项。3解析：选A。词义猜测题。从画线词的语境看，这个代词指前面提到的史蒂文进行疾病扫描的那些烟民，故选A项。4解析：选D。主旨大意题。全文介绍对烟民进行肺癌疾病扫描带来的负面影响，认为烟民看到自己拍片的结果不严重时就会继续抽烟，因此本文的标题应该选D项。B(2017湖南雅礼中学月考)Its often interesting to take a look at some of the lists that arrive toward the end of the year such as top devices, best gadgets (小配件), most desirable hightech gifts and more.

There is nothing more tiring than not succeeding.We experience this tiredness in two ways: as startup fatigue (疲惫) and performance fatigue. In the former case, we keep putting off a task because it is either too boring or too difficult.And the longer we delay it, the more tired we feel.Such startup fatigue is very real, even if not actually physical，not something in our muscles and bones. The solution is obvious though perhaps not easy to apply: always handle the most difficult job first.Years ago, I was asked to write 102 essays on the great ideas of some famous authors. Applying my own rule, I determined to write them in alphabetical order (按字母顺序), never letting myself leave out a tough idea. And I always started the days work with the difficult task of essaywriting. Experience proved that the rule works.Performance fatigue is more difficult to handle. Though willing to get started, we cannot seem to do the job right. Its difficulties appear so great that, however hard we work, we fail again and again. In such a situation, I work as hard as I canthen let the unconscious take over.When planning Encyclopaedia Britannica (大英百科全书), I had to create a table of contents based on the topics of its articles. Nothing like this had ever been done before, and day after day I kept coming up with solutions, but none of them worked. My fatigue became almost unbearable.One day, mentally exhausted, I wrote down all the reasons why this problem could not be solved. I tried to convince myself that the trouble was with the problem itself, not with me.Relieved, I sat back in an easy chair and fell asleep.An hour later, I woke up suddenly with the solution clearly in mind.In the weeks that followed, the solution which had come up in my unconscious mind proved correct at every step. Though I worked as hard as before, I felt no fatigue. Success was now as exciting as failure had been depressing.Human beings, I believe, must try to succeed. Success, then, means never feeling tired.12People with startup fatigue are most likely to _.Adelay tasks Bwork hardCseek help Daccept failure13What does the author recommend doing to prevent startup fatigue?AWriting essays in strict order.BBuilding up physical strength.CLeaving out the toughest ideas.DDealing with the hardest task first.14On what occasion does a person probably suffer from performance fatigue?ABefore starting a difficult task.BWhen all the solutions fail.CIf the job is rather boring.DAfter finding a way out.15According to the author, the unconscious mind may help us _.Aignore mental problemsBget some nice sleepCgain complete reliefDfind the right solution16What could be the best title for the passage?ASuccess Is Built upon FailureBHow to Handle Performance FatigueCGetting over Fatigue: A Way to SuccessDFatigue: An Early Sign of Health Problems【语篇导读】本文是一篇夹叙夹议的文章，作者介绍了两种常见的疲劳状态，并给出了克服疲劳的方法。此外，作者以自己放松之后灵感涌现，而获得成功的经历，说明克服疲倦状态，放松身心，更能带来成功。12解析：选A。细节理解题。根据第二段第二句In the former case，we keep putting off a task because it is either too boring or too difficult.可知，在开始阶段的疲劳状态下，我们会一直拖延任务，要么因为它太无聊，要么因为它太难。13解析：选D。细节理解题。根据第三段第二句The solution is obvious though perhaps not easy to apply：always handle the most difficult job first.可知，解决办法就是先处理最难的工作，故选D项。14解析：选B。推理判断题。根据第五段第三句Its difficulties appear so great that，however hard we work，we fail again and again.可知，无论我们怎么努力工作但反复失败，这时会产生工作疲劳(performance fatigue)。15解析：选D。细节理解题。根据倒数第二段第二句In the weeks that followed，the solution which had come up in my unconscious mind proved correct at every step.可知，接下来的几周，我潜意识中出现的方法被证明每一步都是正确的，故选D项。16解析：选C。主旨大意题。最后一段第二句Success，then，means never feeling tired.点出本文主题，即成功与疲倦之间的关系，且全文论述了如何克服两类疲倦，并以“我”的亲身经历说明放松后潜意识里出现的正确方法给“我”带来了成功。故选C项。长难句分析：Applying my own rule, I determined to write them in alphabetical order, never letting myself leave out a tough idea.句式分析：该句为主从复合句，Applying my own rule为现在分词短语作方式状语，never letting myself leave out a tough idea为现在分词短语作伴随状语。句意：按照我的这个原则，我决定按字母顺序编写著名作家的伟大理念，永远不让自己遗漏任何一个难写的理念。.七选五Skintoskin Effort Aims to Cut Newborn Deaths(2017北京海淀模拟)A social media campaign has been launched in China to cut down the number of newborn babies who die in the first 24 hours of life. The campaign, called First Embrace(拥抱) , promotes skintoskin contact between mother and baby immediately after birth, a practice proven to keep the baby warm and help it to fight infections(感染)There are 16 million babies born in China each year, and approximately 150,000 of them die before they reach one month of age._1_Zhang Shuyi, a researcher at the Capital Institute of Pediatrics in Beijing, said there was strong evidence for the First Embrace approach.“When babies are cold, they are more likely to catch infections or have difficulty breathing，”she said，“_2_It provides direct protection against infections, promotes bonding between the parent and child and supports breastfeeding.”Health workers who shifted from the normal practice of separation to skintoskin contact have observed that babies are more pink, calm and comfortable.The WHO has developed the First Embrace approach to helping reduce newborn deaths across the Western Pacific region，including China. Bernhard Schwartlander, the WHO Representative in China, said，“As many as two
