7.Sitting for more than three hours a day can decrease a person's life expectancy(預期壽命)by two years,even if her or she is physically active and gets rid of (擺脫)dangerous habit like smoking,according to a study.Watching TV for more than two hours a day can worsen that problem,decreasing life expectancy by another 1.4 years.
The analysis comes just two years after Australian researchers found that people who said they watched TV for more than four hours a day were 46% more likely to die of any cause than people who said they spent less than two hours a day watching TV.Those watching TV more than four hours a day were also 80% more likely to die of cardiovascular (心血管的) disease."Long-sitting behavior is something we need to take note of beyond telling people to get 30 minutes of activity a day,"said Peter T.Katzmarzyk,one of the lead researchers.But while the evidence of illnesses is increasing,it remains difficult for many people to find time to get on their feet,especially if they do desk jobs.
"Try to stand as much as you can,"Dr Katzmarzyk said."Typically when you are on the telephone you can stand and use the speakerphone.Instead of e-mailing someone in the office,just get up and so to talk to them."However,Dr Katzmarzyk added,standing shouldn't be alternative to exercising,but an alternative to sitting."Several studies show that when you're sitting,your leg muscles are completely inactive,"he said."When you're sitting and completely inactive,this is when you run into trouble managing blood sugar."
25.What is the main idea of the first paragraph?C
A.Watching TV too long can worsen our mental health.
B.We should be active and give up smoking.
C.Sitting for too long a time can shorten one's life.
D.Smoking too much can be harmful to health.
26.The  researchers draw the conclusion of the effect of long-sitting behavior byA.
A.making comparisons(比較)          
B.listing figures
C.giving examples                   
D.classifying facts
27.What does  Dr Katzmarzyk think of long-sitting behavior?B
A.It warns  people to exercise 30 minutes a day.
B.It's a bad behavior worth considering seriously.
C.It can lead to death at once.
D.It is good for desk job workers.
28.According to Dr Katzmarzyk,if you are sitting all the time,you mayD.
A.phone your friends and talk about your problem
B.put on weight quickly and become more  inactive 
C.want to have more sugar for your meals
D.find it hard to keep your blood sugar proper.

分析 新的研究表明,久坐會縮短一個人的壽命,給人的健康帶來威脅.

解答 25.C 段落大意題.根據(jù)第一段第一句的 Sitting for more than three hours a day can decrease a person's life expectancy(預期壽命)by two years可知,久坐會縮短人的壽命. 
26.A 細節(jié)理解題.通過閱讀 people who said they watched TV for more than four hours a day were 46% more likely to die of any cause than people who said they spent less than two hours a day watching TV.Those watching TV more than four hours a day were also 80% more likely to die of cardiovascular (心血管的) disease."可知,作者在第二段用比較的方式說明了久坐和人的壽命之間的關系. 
27.B 推理判斷題.根據(jù)文章第二段的Katzmarzy所說的話和最后一段的your leg muscles are completely inactive和this is when you run into trouble managing blood glucose(血糖)可知,久坐對身體不利,我們應該嚴肅對待這個壞習慣. 
28.D 推理判斷題.根據(jù)文章的最后一句When you're sitting and completely inactive,this is when you run into trouble managing blood sugar."可知,Katzmarzyk人文,如果長時間坐著,人的血糖就會出現(xiàn)問題.

點評 本文是一個人物故事類閱讀理解,題目涉及多道細節(jié)理解題,做題時結合原文和題目有針對性的找出相關語句進行仔細分析,結合選項選出正確答案.推理判斷題也是要在抓住關鍵句子的基礎上合理的分析才能得出正確答案,切忌胡亂猜測,一定要做到有理有據(jù).

7.EVERYONE'S talking about it in American high schools.Whether they are hip-hop fans or just students or just students or teachers who listen to good music of any genre(類型),they all have one thing in common:an obsession with Hamilton,a hip-hop musical about the forgotten founding father of the United States on the $10bill.What makes this musical so different from all the other ones?
"Everybody is so excited about it."Mark Madama,associate professor of musical theater at the University of Michigan,said,"It is something for the students.Hip-hop music is what they listen to when they are walking down the street and all of a sudden,now that is also the music that is in musical theater."
The full title of the show is Hamilton:An American Musical,and it tells the stories of Alexander Hamilton's life:from a homeless orphan to Washington's right hand man(得力助手),from an unknown to war hero.The idea of a Broadway musical about a founding father with hip-hop music has gotten enough attention on its own.
One of the most amazing details of this phenomenon is that most of the students have never even seen it.Nazareth High School junior Maddy Schierl has never seen the show live but said she still relates to it deeply."There is so much emotion in the music that I feel like I have experienced the show's essence(本質)without even having to see it,"Schierl said.
Students and teachers are finding other ways to fall in love with Hamilton,whether they do it through listening to its music,watching short videos on YouTube or even studying it in the classroom.Katja Stonebraker,who teaches AP US history at Cary-Grove High School,described the musical as"a teacher's dream",Stonebraker plans to use Hamilton more in the future because of the interesting perspective it tells Hamilton's story from.
"You see these old dead guys,and they are who you have to memorize and learn,"Stonebraker said,-But I think Hamilton makes history real and relatable."

28.The underlined word"obsession"in Paragraph 1is closest in meaning toA.
A.strong enthusiasm
B.great respect   
C.lack of interest
D.total surprise
29.Hamilton is a musical that appeals to students becauseB.
A.its story is closely related to students'lives today
B.it uses hip-hop,which is very popular among students
C.it has been specially designed to satisfy students'tastes
D.it tells interesting stories from the life of a founding father of the US
30.The example of Maddy Schierl is used toD.
A.prove that Hamilton is very popular among students
B give an example of people's comments about Hamilton
C.explore the controversies behind Hamilton's popularity
D.show that people can connect to Hamilton without seeing it
31.Which of the following statements would Stonebraker probably agree with?A.
A.Hamilton tells Hamilton's story vividly and from a different viewpoint.
B.Hamilton is the best teaching material she has ever used
C.Every student will become more interested in history after seeing Hamilton.
D.There will be more musicals about historical figures in the future.

4.Face-book chief operating officer Sheryl Sandberg and Anna Maria Chavez,chief of American Girl Scouts,are leading a campaign to discourage the use of the word"bossy".Does the term destroy the confidence of young girls?
The campaign claims that terms like"bossy"are improperly applied to females,preventing schoolgirls from seeing themselves as future"leaders".From its first application,the word has been definitely connected more with women than with men.It first appeared in 1882,according to the Oxford English Dictionary,mentioning"a lady manager who was extremely bossy".As late as 2008,the word appeared in reference to females four times more often than males,claim the Ban Bossy campaigners."To me,the reference is always is association with women,"says Helen Trim,director of Fresh Minds."I have three brothers and my family still call me‘bossy'today."Her father is the only other family member who could be considered in that way,says Trim,but nobody would ever call him so.
Some educators recommend that the word should be reclaimed,rather than banned."But the thing with‘bossy'is that there's an infantile (幼稚的)element to it,"says Sara Mills,professor at Sheffield University."You think of‘bossy'as being like a little kid who's claiming more than he has the right to claim."
It's not just"bossy"under fire."Pushy"is another target.The implication is that women shouldn't present themselves as powerful and confident.Mills suggests,which some women are willing to listen to and accept.Trim points out that many modern female business role models are able to be bosses without being labeled‘bossy'.And she rarely,if ever,hears the word used within her company.But she says that the damage may be dome much earlier in a woman's life."It does come about from those early teenage years."she says."I think it's impossible to ban a word,but if people are replacing it with words like‘confidence'or‘a(chǎn)ssertiveness',we would all be in a much better place."

24.More evidence is provided to show"bossy"is more applied to females byB.
A.the Oxford English Dictionary
B.the Ban bossy campaigners
C.Helen Trim at Fresh Minds
D.some experts in education
25.Trim's family still consider her bossy becauseC.
A.she is expected to lead in her family
B.she is the boss of her company
C.she is a powerful and confident female
D.her farther considers her that way
26.The underlined part"under fire"most probably meansB
A.definitely replaced
B.strongly criticized
C.improperly applied
D.eagerly expected
27.How does the author sound when referring to the campaign against"bossy"?A
A.Objective
B.Angry
C.Doubtful
D.Optimistic.
