2013高考英语阅读理解（4月）训练（12）及答案c（london）if it really is whats on the inside that counts, then a lot of thin people might be in trouble.some doctors now think that the internal fat surrounding important organs like the heart or liver could be as dangerous as the external fat which can be noticed more easily.“being thin doesnt surely mean you are not fat,” said dr jimmy bell at imperial college. since 1994, bell and his team have scanned nearly 800 people with mri machines to create “fat maps” showing where people store fat.according to the result, people who keep their weight through diet rather than exercise are likely to have major deposits of internal fat, even if they are slim.even people with normal body mass index scores can have surprising levels of fat deposits inside. of the women, as many as 45 percent of those with normal bmi scores (20 to 25) actually had too high levels of internal fat. among men, the percentage was nearly 60 percent.according to bell, people who are fat on the inside are actually on the edge of being fat. they eat too many fatty and sugary foods, but they are not eating enough to be fat. scientists believe we naturally store fat around the belly first, but at some point, the body may start storing it elsewhere.doctors are unsure about the exact dangers of internal fat, but some think it has something to do with heart disease and diabetes. they want to prove that internal fat damages the bodys communication systems.the good news is that internal fat can be easily burned off through exercise or even by improving your diet. “if you want to be healthy, there is no short cut. exercise has to be an important part of your lifestyle,” bell said.11. what is this piece of news mainly about?a. thin people may be fat inside.b. internal fat is of no importance.c. internal fat leads to many diseases.d. thin people also have troubles.12.doctors have found _.a. the exact dangers of internal fatb. internal fat is the cause of heart disease and diabetesc. being slim is not dangerous at alld. being slim doesnt mean you are not fat inside13.according to the passage, which of the following is wrong?a. exercise can help to reduce the internal fat.b. people can get rid of internal fat by improving diet.c. men are more likely to have too much internal fat.d. people with heart disease all have internal fat.14.from the last paragraph, we can find that _.a. whether internal fat can lead to disease has been provedb. exercise plays in important role in peoples life for keeping healthyc. thin people usually have internal fat even if they are slimd. it is easier to burn off internal fat than external fat15.the underlined part in the last paragraph means _.a. a long roadb. an easy wayc. a clear differenced. a short distance参考答案 addbb*结束dfor years, there has been a bias（偏见）against science among clinical psychologists. in a two-year analysis to be published in november in perspectives on psychological science, psychologists led by timothy b. baker of the university of wisconsin charge that many clinical psychologists fail to “provide the treatments for which there is the strongest evidence of effectiveness” and “give more weight to their personal experiences than to science.” as a result, patients have no guarantee that their “treatment will be informed by science.” walter mischel of columbia university is even crueler in his judgment. “the disconnect between what clinical psychologists do and what science has discovered is an extreme embarrassment,” he told me, and “there is a widening gap between clinical practice and science.”the “widening” reflects the great progress that psychological research has made in identifying the most effective treatments. thanks to strict clinical trials, we now know that teaching patients to think about their thoughts in new, healthier ways and to act on those new ways of thinking are effective against depression, panic disorder and other problems, with multiple trials showing that these treatmentsthe tools of psychologybring more lasting benefits than drugs.you wouldnt know this if you sought help from a typical clinical psychologist. although many treatments are effective, relatively few psychologists learn or practice them.why in the world not? for one thing, says baker, clinical psychologists are “very doubtful about the role of science” and “lack solid science training”. also, one third of patients get better no matter what treatment (if any) they have, “and psychologists remember these successes, believing, wrongly, that they are the result of the treatment.”when faced with evidence that treatments they offer are not supported by science, clinical psychologists argue that they know better than some study that works. a 2008 study of 591 psychologists in private practice found that they rely more on their own and colleagues experience than on science when deciding how to treat a patient. if they keep on this path as insurance companies demand evidence-based medicine, warns mischel, psychology will “discredit itself.”16. many clinical psychologists fail to provide the most effective treatments because _.a. they are unfamiliar with their patientsb. they believe in science and evidencec. they depend on their colleagues helpd. they rely on their personal experiences17.the widening gap between clinical practice and science is due to _.a. the cruel judgment by walter mischelb. the fact that most patients get better after being treatedc. the great progress that has been made in psychological researchd. the fact that patients prefer to take drugs rather than have other treatments18.how do clinical psychologists respond when charged that their treatments are not supported by science?a. they feel embarrassed.b. they try to defend themselves.c. they are disappointed.d. they doubt their treatments.19.in mischels opinion, psychology will _.a. destroy its own reputation if no improvement is madeb. develop faster with the support of insurance companiesc. work together with insurance companies to provide better treatmentd. become more reliable if insurance companies wont demand evidence-based medicine20.what is the purpose of this passage?a. to show the writers disapproval of clinical psychologists.b. to inform the readers of the risks of psychological treatments.c. to explain the effectiveness of treatments by clinical psychologists.d. to introduce the latest progress of medical treatment in clinical psychology. 参考答案 dcbaa *结束2.（2011重庆卷）cgetting 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 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 . 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 off 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 d
