A
Controlling your food longings and dropping pounds fast is easy：Just eat breakfast.The editors of Eat This，Not That! carried out research to determine some best breakfast foods for weight loss.
Black Beans
Protein，per 1/2 cup：7g
Black beans will not only fill you up for hours but also help slim you down.Wake Forest Baptist Medical Center researchers found that with black beans consumed daily，study participants' fat reduced by 4 percent over two years.
Peanut Butter
Protein，per 2 tbsp(汤匙)：7­8g
While processed peanut butter is filled with sugar and oils，the real stuff is made with just two ingredients：salt and peanuts.The peanut is filled with heart­healthy monounsaturated(单一不饱和的)fats.Nutritionist and personal trainer Kristin Reisinger suggests using the healthy fat in an AM smoothie.
Almond Butter
Protein，per 2 tbsp：7­8g
“Almond butter is high in protein，fiber and monounsaturated fats，”says Martha McKittrick，RDN，CDE.“Studies have also shown that people who eat nuts are less likely to become overweight than those who avoid them，because it helps you feel fuller.”To get the benefits at breakfast，McKittrick suggests spreading some nut butter on the whole grain toast.
Eggs
Protein，per two large eggs：13g
“Eggs are an excellent source of protein and other healthy nutrients including fat­burning choline(胆碱)，”says McKittrick.Choline，also found in lean(瘦的)meats，seafood and collard greens，attacks the gene mechanism that causes your body to store fat around your liver(肝脏)，according to Zero Belly Cookbook.The more eggs you eat，the less egg­shaped you get.

For children，eating with their families is not only about preventing bad outcomes—it is also about developing good ones.Several studies have looked at the long­term effects eating with families has on children.Experts say that these studies do not seem to prove a cause­and­effect relationship.However，they do suggest a strong correlation．
About three years ago，the Organisation for Economic Co­operation and Development(OECD)looked at data from nearly three quarters of the world's countries.Among its findings was the fact that students who shared a main meal with their families were less likely to skip school.
Children who eat a main meal with their families are also less likely to be badly­behaved.That is a finding of a study by the National Center on Addiction and Substance Abuse(CASA)at Columbia University in New York.In the CASA report，titled“The Importance of Family Dinners Ⅷ”，researchers say，“Teens who have frequent family dinners are more likely to say their parents know a lot about what's really going on in their lives...”They also claim that when teens say they feel closer to their parents，they are less likely to behave badly.
Another study from the University of Montreal found that children who ate with their families experienced long­term physical and mental health benefits.These children were physically in better shape and drank fewer sugary soft drinks.They also seemed to have better social skills.
One researcher，Linda Pagani says that there is“a handful of research suggesting a positive link between eating family meals together frequently and child and adolescent health”．Pagani says that mealtimes shared with parents“likely provide young children with first­hand social interaction，discussions of social affairs and day­to­day concerns”．She adds that they may likely help the children have better communication skills with others.
【语篇解读】　本文是一篇说明文，文章介绍了与家人一起进餐对孩子的好处，这不但能防止不良后果的发生，而且能帮助孩子养成好的习惯。这一发现已被多项科学研究所证明。
4．What does the underlined word“correlation”mean?
A．Effect. B．Cause.
C．Outcome. D．Tie.
D　[词义猜测题。文章第一段中谈到，研究似乎并没有证明两者之间有着必然的因果关系，但是作者笔锋一转，引出它们之间还是有一定关系(correlation)的。故画线词意为“关系，相关性”。]
5．In which aspect can eating family meals together influence children according to the OECD?
A．Academic performance. B．Physical health.
C．Mental health. D．Social skills.
A　[推理判断题。根据题干的OECD把线索定位到文章第二段，第二段最后一句谈到与家人共进正餐的学生逃学的可能性更小，所以可推知，是否和家人一起进餐对学生的学业水平有影响。故选A项。]
6．How do children benefit from eating family meals together according to Pagani?
A．By having healthy food and drinks.
B．By forming good eating habits.
C．By becoming more social.
D．By understanding their parents' life.
C　[细节理解题。根据文章最后一段中的“likely provide young children with first­hand social interaction，discussions of social affairs and day­to­day concerns”和“they may likely help the children have better communication skills with others”可知，Pagani认为跟家人一起进餐能让孩子亲身接触社交，并参与对社会事务的讨论等，这很可能帮助孩子跟他人更好地交流。由此可知，Pagani认为孩子可以通过跟家人一起用餐来提高自己的交际能力，故选C项。]
7．What is mainly talked about in the passage?
A．Easy tips on eating family meals.
B．Benefits of family dinners to children.
C．Links between eating together and child health.
D．Findings of studies about enjoying family dinners.
B　[主旨大意题。通读全文可知，这篇文章的主题是与家人一起进餐对孩子的好处，故B项概括得最为全面。]
C
Scientists in England are using two self­directed water vehicles to explore the animal and plant life of the Celtic Sea.
The Celtic Sea is a body of water off the southern coast of Ireland.The area is known for its unusual sea life.Scientists want to know why sea creatures are so attracted to this part of the Atlantic Ocean.
One of the research vehicles is powered by batteries(电池).It collects information for the National Oceanography Center in Southampton，England，and the World Wildlife Fund.The vehicle's low energy requirements permit it to stay floating on water for up to 30 days.Reports of what it finds in the Celtic Sea are sent by satellite.
Stephen Woodward is an engineer who helped design the vehicle.He says the vehicle has equipment that can discover small organisms called zooplankton(浮游动物)and fish.He adds that other sensing equipment measures water currents and other features of sea life.The vehicle also creates a map of the sea.
Another vehicle is powered by the sun and the wind.It can stay floating on water for months.The robotic vehicle sends information about the so­called biodiversity hotspots.A biodiversity hotspot is an area of an ocean that has a lot of plant and animal life activity.
Lavinia Suberg is one of the scientists studying the Celtic Sea.She says productive ocean areas，like the Celtic Sea，attract zooplankton.The zooplankton then attracts fish.She adds that areas with a large increase of fish often attract sea mammals and birds.
Using these robotic ocean vehicles greatly reduces the cost of exploring the sea with manned laboratories.Scientists can spend more time analyzing the collected information.They say the research will give them a better understanding of the needs of the Celtic Sea for future management and protection.
【语篇解读】　本文为说明文，题材为科普环保类。英国科学家利用机器人式水上车辆探索凯尔特海，旨在弄清为什么有如此之多的动植物生活在该海域。

A．To study the geography of the sea.
B．To learn why the sea is rich in sea life.
C.To test their self­directed water vehicles.
D．To learn about the sea creatures in the sea.
B　[细节理解题。由第二段最后一句“Scientists want to know why sea creatures are so attracted to this part of the Atlantic Ocean.”可知，英国科学家研究该海域的目的是弄清为什么海洋生物被吸引到该海域。]
9．According to the text，the water vehicles________．
A．are controlled directly by humans
B．work depending on the map of the sea
C．can send the information back directly
D．can keep floating on water for a long time
D　[细节理解题。由第三段中的“The vehicle's low energy requirements permit it to stay floating on water for up to 30 days.”和第五段中的“It can stay floating on water for months.”可知，水上车辆能在海上漂浮很久。]
10．According to Lavinia Suberg，the sea mammals and birds________．
A．are afraid of living alone
B．mainly feed on zooplankton
C．like to live in warm ocean areas
D．are especially interested in fish
D　[细节理解题。由倒数第二段最后一句“She adds that areas with a large increase of fish often attract sea mammals and birds.”可知，海洋哺乳动物和鸟类对鱼很感兴趣。]
11．What is the last paragraph mainly about?
A．The aim of sea exploration.
B．The cost of exploring the sea.
C．The importance of the water vehicles.
D．Ways to deal with the collected information.
C　[段落大意题。通读最后一段尤其是根据最后一段中的“greatly reduces，spend more time”和“a better understanding”可知，本段旨在介绍机器人式水上车辆在海底探索中的重要性。故选C。]
D
Given the recent interest in green buildings in the media，let's think differently.Instead of focusing on increasing the supply of energy，what if we focus on reducing demand?
Can we start with ending the open­door practice of street­front shops? While cool air from these shops is refreshing to pedestrians，it carries a cost.Energy is used in the air conditioning process.
So it must be possible to look for changes in regulations that would encourage more energy­saving designs.For instance，if we fix ceiling fans，air­conditioning homes could surely be avoided for part of the year.Ceiling fans use far less energy.They were common in buildings before air conditioners were available.I wonder how many hours in a year air conditioners could stay if ceiling fans were fixed.
In homes built under the small­house policy in New Territories，the ceiling may be too low for ceiling fans.If the 9­metre maximum building height regulation were relaxed，ceiling fans could be fixed to reduce energy use.Current thinking in sustainable building design and operation involves integrated(协调统一的)design；that is，bring together all parties to create a building with better performance that achieves energy reduction.
For integrated design to succeed，all parties must come together and think beyond each person's circle of influence.Better solutions are impossible to avoid with integrated design.Buildings would no longer be engineered after the basic architecture was built.Positive project outcomes may include reduced air­conditioning load，reduced power use for electric lighting，and a reduction in the amount of materials used.
We need to ask if we are ready to look beyond our own small circles and seek an improved approach to building design.By that I mean an integrated design resulting in more sustainable buildings.
【语篇解读】　本文属于议论文。作者认为街边商店敞门开空调的做法虽然给人们带来了凉爽，但却浪费了大量的能源。所以他鼓励节能的集成设计，即在住宅建成前统一设计，安装吊扇，减少空调的负荷及照明用电等能源。
12．What's the author's attitude towards the open­door practice of the street shops?
A．Supportive. B．Disapproving.
C．Optimistic. D．Uncaring.
B　[观点态度题。根据第二段内容可知，作者认为虽然这些商店的凉爽空气给行人提神，但open­door practice却带来了成本，在空调降低温度的过程中消耗了大量能源。可知他对此是持不赞成的态度的。故选B项。]
13．Why does the author suggest fixing ceiling fans?
A．To follow an old practice.
B．To help reduce energy use.
C．To completely replace air conditioners.
D．To help cut down on daily expenses.
B　[细节理解题。根据第三段中的“For instance，if we fix ceiling fans，air­conditioning homes could surely be avoided for part of the year.Ceiling fans use far less energy.”可知，作者建议安装吊扇是因为能减少能源的使用。故选B项。]
14．What's the key to making sustainable buildings a reality?
A．All parties should get started at the same time.
B．The basic architecture should be finished first.
C．Proper design and performance to achieve energy reduction.
D．Seeking the small­house policy and some successful architects.
C　[细节理解题。根据第四段最后一句可知，答案C符合题意。故选C项。]
15．What would be the best title for the text?
A．Waste Less，Live Better
B．Goodbye，Air Conditioning
C．How to Reduce the Energy Cost
D．Green Buildings Call for Integrated Design
D　[标题归纳题。作者认为商店开放空调导致能源的浪费，所以倡导在住宅区安装吊扇的节能环保的做法。这就需要在建筑房屋前进行统一的、综合的集成设计，才能有一个可持续的、节约的、环保绿色的建筑。因此本文最好的标题是绿色建筑呼吁集成设计。故D项符合题意。]

My Magic Pen
We often have trouble using an ordinary pen because of its limited ink and other inconvenience.To deal with these problems，consequently，I have created my own magic pen.
The most shining function of this newly designed pen is that it will contain special ink powder which makes it have endless ink.Furthermore，the pen is made of extremely strong materials which can protect the pen from the damage when it might fall down onto the ground.Better still，so smoothly does it write that it can contribute to making our hand­writing better.

Ⅵ.概要写作(满分25分)
阅读下面短文，根据其内容写一篇60词左右的内容概要。
It's a really good idea to visit colleges before you apply because their websites can all start to look and sound the same.Nothing will give you the sense of what it will actually be like to live on a college campus(校园)like visiting and seeing for yourself the dorms，classrooms and athletic equipment and，of course，the students.It seems a little crazy once senior year hits to find the time to visit college campuses，and it can also be pricey if the schools you are applying to happen to be more than a car ride away.But keep in mind that you are making a decision about the next four years of your life，and do all the research you can to make sure you are making the right one.
There's no excuse not to visit the schools in your local area.In fact，a lot of college applications even ask if you have visited campus，and obviously，if you live across the country that won't be as much of a possibility，but if you live nearby，go check it out!
If campus visits aren't going to happen before you apply，at the very least you should find some time between applying and getting your acceptance letters to visit the schools you'd like to attend.It can save you a lot of heartache if you rule out now the things that you don't like about certain campuses，things that you wouldn't know unless you actually visit.
Now，if time and money are making it impossible，then check out the online college fairs at College Week Live.It's a chance to chat online with admissions officers，students，and college counselors(顾问)，and it won't cost you a penny! You can register for its online college fair at collegeweeklive.com.While visiting an online college fair can't take the place of an actual campus visit，it can be a very useful tool that along with all your other research will help you make an informed decision about which colleges or universities you'd like to attend.

[参考范文]
It's really worthwhile to pay a visit to their desired colleges personally before applying.Undoubtedly，students should visit their local colleges，which may be included in applications.At least，they should visit the school to attend and figure out its real conditions in advance.For students who are short of money and time，registering online is a good alternative to help them better understand schools.
