To visit the Embroidery Taster Workshop, you have to _.A. get an entrance ticket B. show your greeting cardC. know about embroidery D. join an associationB Your house may have an effect on your figure. Experts say the way you design your home could play a role in whether you pack on the pounds or keep them off. You can make your environment work for you instead of against you. Here are some ways to turn your home into part of diet plan. Open the curtains and turn up the lights. Dark environments are more likely to encourage overeating, for people are often less self-conscious（难为情）when theyre in poorly lit places-and so more likely to eat lots of food . If your home doesnt have enough window light, get more lamps and flood the place with brightness. Mind the colors. Research suggests warm colors fuel our appetites. In one study, people who ate meals in a blue room consumed 33 percent less than those in a yellow or red room. Warm colors like yellow make food appear more appetizing, while cold colors make us feel less hungry. So when its time to repaint, go blue.Dont forget the clock-or the radio. People who eat slowly tend to consume about 70 fewer calories（卡路里） per meal than those who rush through their meals. Begin keeping track of the time, and try to make dinner last at least 30 minutes, And while youre at it, actually sit down to eat. If you need some help slowing down, turn on relaxing music. It makes you less likely to rush through a meal.Downsize the dishes. Big serving bowls and plates can easily make us fat. We eat about 22 percent more when using a 12-inch plate instead of a 10-inch plate. When we choose a large spoon over a smaller one, total intake(摄入) jumps by 14 percent. And well pour about 30 percent more liquid into a short, wide glass than a tall, skinny glass.24. The text is especially helpful for those who care about_. A. their home comforts B. their body shape C. house buying D. healthy diets25. A home environment in blue can help people_. A. digest food better B. reduce food intake C. burn more calories D. regain their appetites26. What are people advised to do at mealtimes? A. Eat quickly. B. Play fast music. C. Use smaller spoons. D. Turn down the lights.27. What can be a suitable title for the test? A. Is Your House Making You Fat? B. Ways of Serving Dinner C. Effects of Self-Consciousness D. Is Your Home Environment Relaxing?CPeople who are obese（肥胖）have a worse memory than their thinner friends, a small study shows. Tests on 50 people showed that being overweight was linked to worse “episodic memory” or the ability to remember past experiences.The study in theQuarterly Journal of Experimental Psychologyargues that a less vivid memory of recent meals may lead to overeating. However, other aspects of memory such as general knowledge show no signs.Tests on rats have previously shown that with burgeoning waistlines come poorer performances in memory tests, but the evidence in humans has been mixed.Fifty people with a Body Mass Index (BMI) ranging from 18 (healthy) to 51 (very obese) took part in a memory test a bit like doing a treasure hunt on your own. They had to “hide” objects at different times and on different scenes displayed on a computer screen. They were later asked to recall what they had hidden, when and where. The results showed obese peoples scores were 15% lower than thinner people.Dr. Lucy Cheke, from the University of Cambridge, told the BBC News website, “The suggestion were making is that a higher BMI is having some reduction on the vividness of memory, but theyre not drawing blanks and having amnesia(失忆症). As a matter of fact, if they have a less strong memory of a recent meal, with a less strong impact in the mind, then they may have less ability to regulate how much they eat later on.” Hunger hormones(激素) play a huge role in how much we eat, but it has already been recognized that our minds have a key role too. Dr. Cheke concluded, “It is too early to talk in terms of advice, but we are certainly beginning to observe how obesity causes itself to continue.”28. What does the underlined word “burgeoning” in Paragraph 4 refer to? A. changing. B. declining. C. swinging. D. increasing.29. Which of the following is TRUE about the experiment? A. The researchers compare the performances of people with various BMIs. B. Fifty subjects are required to seek for objects hidden by the researchers. C. All aspects of memory will be influenced by obesity. D. The number of rats tested is the same as that of people. 30. Dr. Lucy Chekes words indicate that _. A. its high time that they provided suggestions on dealing with obesity B. its our minds rather than hunger hormones that play an important role C. having a higher BMI has a negative influence on memory to some extent D. if suffering from weak memory, people cannot regulate behaviors31. Where does this text probably come from? A. An entertainment magazine. B. A science report. C. An advertisement. D. Science fiction.DFor thousands of years, people thought of glass as something beautiful to look at. Only recently have they come to think of it as something to look through. Stores display their goods in large glass windows. Glass bottles and jars that hold food and drink allow us to see the contents. Glass is used to make eyeglasses, microscopes, telescopes, and many other extremely useful and necessary objects. Until the Second World War, most of the glass used for optical instruments was imported from Europe. However, during the war Americans could not get European glass, and they were forced to make their own. As a result, new kinds of glasses were developed that had been previously unknown. These new effects were achieved by mixing other chemical elements with the sand. Some of these new glasses are very strong and can resist many kinds of shocks. Legend has it that a very hard glass was invented by a Roman who showed his discovery to the Emperor. When the Emperor saw the glass he feared that it would become more valuable than gold and silver, making his treasure worthless. Therefore, he had the glassmaker killed, and the secret was not discovered again for hundreds of years. In the present century, safety glass was invented for use in modern cars and planes. Safety glass is made by placing a layer of plastic between two layers of plate glass. When the outside layer of glass is broken, the pieces do not scatter(散开) and injure people. Some glass of the type is strong enough to resist bullets. Although in recent years plastics have replaced glass under conditions where glass might be easily broken, there are new uses being developed, for the greatest advantage of glass is that its component parts are inexpensive and can be found all over the world.32. With the passage of time, glass _. A. is regarded as transparent B. is no longer seen as decoration C. is used to make things look pleasant D. is widely used to replace steel in making containers33. Why did Americans make their own glass during the Second World War? A. The war blocked the way of glass import. B. They refused to use the European glass. C. The glass made in Europe was out of date. D. They were able to make a new kind of glass.34. By telling the legend, the author wants to _. A. prove that the Roman was the first inventor of hard glass B. support that the Americans were as clever as the Romans C. give some interesting information about hard glass D. provide a historical event concerned with hard glass35. New uses of glass are being developed on the ground that _. A. glass is not as safe as plastics B. glass is not as strong and durable as plastics C. glass is easily obtainable and inexpensive D. glass is more and more widely used 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。 Television is everywhere around us.

The book of poems 67 (accept) and published under the title True Simple Poems of Life, Faith and Survival. I never dreamed of becoming a writer, 68 I just became one. I continue to write and hope that my poetry may help others in similar conditions. My writing continues to give me 69 (strong).I would never have become a writer, 70 (produce) inspirational stories, if I had not gone through all that I did.
