Unit 3 Healthy Lifestyle单元素养评估测试卷第= 1 \* ROMANI卷 I. Listening ComprehensionII. Grammar and Vocabulary Section A Directions: After reading the passage below, fill in the blanks to make the passage coherent and grammatically correct. For the blanks with a given word, fill in each blank with the proper form of the given word; for the other blanks, use one word that best fits each blank.The family who eats togetherWhat’s the price of a family meal? For many families in the world’s wealthiest countries, the answer seems to be, ‘too much’. For instance, in the United States, ___1___ is often a trendsetter in such things, the majority of families report eating a single meal together fewer than five days a week. In fact, the frequency of shared meals ___2___ (decrease) in American families by 33 per cent over the last twenty years. The meals ___3___ have shortened too: from an average of 90 minutes to just 12 minutes.So perhaps we’re better off asking ourselves ___4___ the cost of not eating together is. Once again, we could turn to the figures. The Organization for Economic Cooperation and Development has found that 15-year-olds who reported not regularly ___5___ (share) family meals were twice as likely to be absent from school. In Europe, research has suggested that children who don’t eat dinner with their parents at least twice a week face a 40 per cent higher risk of fatness. Another study, ___6___ (conduct) by the National Center on Addiction and Substance Abuse (滥用) at Columbia University, found that kids who eat dinner with their parents five or more times a week are ___7___ (likely) to have problems with drugs and alcohol.But those numbers, impressive ___8___ they seem, may be beside the point. After all, having a meal together is more than just a preventive measure ___9___ future misfortune. The primary cost of the family meal is also the very thing that makes it important: time.The time spent together over food leads to all the positive outcomes that are measured in the studies. That time spent together has less noticeable—but no less real—effects too. So often, ___10___ is at the family meal that the family as such—the family as an organic unit with shared memories and feelings and ambitions—is made.【答案】1. which 2. has decreased 3. themselves 4. what 5. sharing 6. conducted less likely 8. as / though 9. against 10. it【解析】这是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍了一家人一起吃饭带来的好处。【1题详解】考查非限制性定语从句的引导词。句意：例如，在经常引领此类潮流的美国，大多数家庭表示，他们每周在一起吃一顿饭的时间少于五天。根据is often a trendsetter in such things可知此处是一个非限制性定语从句，先行词是the United States，指物，且定语从句中缺少主语，因此要用关系代词which。故填which。【2题详解】考查动词的时态。句意：事实上，在过去的20年里，美国家庭共享食物的频率下降了33%。根据over the last twenty years可知此句时态是现在完成时，且主语是the frequency of shared meals，要用单数形式。故填has decreased。【3题详解】考查代词。句意：用餐时间也缩短了：从平均90分钟缩短到12分钟。根据主语The meals可知此处要用反身代词themselves，表示用餐本身。故填themselves。【4题详解】考查宾语从句的连接词。句意：因此也许我们最好问问自己不一起吃饭的代价是什么。根据we’re better off asking ourselves可知此处是一个宾语从句，缺少引导词，由宾语从句中的is可知此处要用what“什么”，且what充当is的表语。故填what。【5题详解】考查非谓语动词。句意：经济合作与发展组织发现，报告称不经常与家人一起吃饭的15岁青少年缺课的可能性是其他人的两倍。根据share与逻辑主语15-year-olds之间是主动关系，可知此处要用现在分词形式。故填sharing。【6题详解】考查非谓语动词。句意：哥伦比亚大学成瘾与药物滥用国家中心进行的另一项研究发现，每周与父母共进晚餐五次或五次以上的孩子，不太可能出现毒品和酗酒的问题。根据found that可知此处要用非谓语动词，由conduct与逻辑主语Another study之间是被动关系，因此要用过去分词作定语。故填conducted。【7题详解】考查形容词的比较级。句意：哥伦比亚大学成瘾与药物滥用国家中心进行的另一项研究发现，每周与父母共进晚餐五次或五次以上的孩子，不太可能出现毒品和酗酒的问题。固定短语be likely to do“很有很可能做某事”，根据who eat dinner with their parents five or more times a week可知此处要用形容词的比较级，表示“不太可能”。故填less likely。【8题详解】考查连词。句意：但是，尽管这些数字看起来令人印象深刻，但它们可能无关紧要。根据impressive和they seem可知此处是形容词放在句首的半倒装句，根据句意可知连词as / though“虽然，尽管”符合题意。填as / though。【9题详解】考查介词。句意：毕竟，一起吃饭不仅仅是预防未来不幸的措施。根据future misfortune可知此处要用介词against，表示“抵御，预防”。故填against。【10题详解】考查代词。句意：通常情况下，正是在家庭聚餐中，家庭作为一个有机的整体，拥有共同的记忆、情感和抱负。根据is at the family meal that可知此处是一个强调句，被强调部分是at the family meal，因此要用代词it。故填it。【点睛】第2小题考查了现在完成时。现在完成时结构：have/has+过去分词。主要用法有：1、表示过去所发生的动作或事情对现在的影响或产生的结果，着眼点在现在。现在完成时时常与不确定的过去时间状语连用，表示“已发生”或“未发生”，如：yet，just，before，recently，once，lately，of late等；也同表示频度的时间状语连用，如：often，ever，never，sometimes，twice，on several occasions等；也同包括现在时间在内的时间状语连用，如：now，today，this morning，this month，this year等。但不能同特定的过去时间状语（in 1995，last year等）连用。例句：He has lost his wallet.他的钱包丢了。Why haven’t I seen you all these months? 我怎么这么多月没看见你呢？We’ve had too much rain this year.今年雨水太多。2、表示一个从过去某个时间开始，延续到现在，并可能延续下去的动作。常同表示包括现在时间在内的一段时间的状语连用，如：so far，up to now，since last year，for a long time，all my life，these few days等。例句：He has worked here for over twenty years. 他在这里工作已有20多年了。Up to now, we have received no news from her. 到现在为止，我们没有从她那里收到任何消息。Section B Directions: Complete the following passage by using the words in the box.

Each passage is followed by several questions or unfinished statements. For each of them there are four choices marked A, B, C and D. Choose the one that fits best according to the information given in the passage you have just read. (A)Doctors say you had better use it before you lose it. The more you sit each day, the more chance you have of getting sick. Richard Rosenkranz of Kansas State University was among the researchers. He said people who sat for long periods were at great risk of diseases when compared with those who sat less. He said that was especially true for some chronic（慢性的） diseases. Richard Rosenkranz studied the relationship between sitting and chronic diseases in middle-aged Australian men. He worked with researchers from the University of Western Sydney. They examined the health records of more than 63，000 men from New South Wales. The men were between the ages of 45 and 65. The men reported about what diseases they had, or did not have. And they kept record of the amount of time each day that they sat. The study also showed that exercising every morning for 30 minutes did not reduce the health risk if you spend the next eight hours sitting at the desk. Mr. Rosenkranz said it was important to make sure you exercise. But he said it was also important to find ways not to sit so much during the day. Many jobs today require sitting and working at the desk all day. James Levine works at the Mayo Clinic in the United Sates. He suggests working while standing at high table some of the time instead of sitting at a desk. Dr. Levine also suggests standing while using the telephone or eating. Or he advises walking with the people you work with for an on-foot meeting. And he notes that if you spend more time on your feet,you may have muscle activity that helps burn fats and sugars in your body. 28. What does the underlined sentence in the first paragraph imply？ ______ A. Doctors should treat all the patients well. B. Doctors should make use of every method. C. One should value his health before he loses it. D. One should depend on himself to keep healthy. 29. How did Richard Rosenkranz make the study？ ______ A. By examining some records and reports. B. By making some laboratory experiments. C. By talking with the doctors and patients. D. By watching the men's daily performance. 30. According to Dr. Levine, in order to avoid the harm of long-time sitting,what should people do？ ______ A. Exercise more often. B. Change their jobs. C. Stay away from the desk. D. Stand or walk more. 31. Where does this text probably come from？ ______ A. A fashion magazine. B. A health magazine. C. A biology textbook. D. A life guide. 28. C 29. A 30. D 31. B【解析】28. C．推理判断题。 " Doctors say you had better use it before you lose it. " 医生说你最好在失去它之前使用它。而本文主要讲述的是久坐影响健康，因此中心思想同健康有关，因此推断it指的是健康，所以这句话暗示人们在失去健康之前要珍惜健康，故选C. 29. A．细节理解题。 文中"They examined the health records of more than 63，000 men from New South Wales. The men were between the ages of 45 and 65. The men reported about what diseases they had, or did not have. "他们检查了来自新南威尔士州的63，000多名男子的健康记录。这些人年龄在45岁到65岁之间。这些人报告了他们有或没有患过什么疾病。由此可知Richard Rosenkranz是通过检查一些记录和报告来进行研究的，故选A. 30. D．细节理解题。文中"He suggests working while standing at high table some of the time instead of sitting at a desk. Dr. Levine also suggests standing while using the telephone or eating. Or he advises walking with the people you work with for an on-foot meeting. " 他建议，有时站在高桌旁工作，而不是坐在桌子前。Dr. Levine还建议在使用电话或吃饭时站立。或者他建议和你一起工作的人一起徒步开会。因此可知，他建议更多的站立或行走，故选D. 31. B．推理判断题。本文主要讲述的是久坐影响健康，因此中心思想同健康有关，由此可推断此篇文章可能来自健康杂志，故选B. 本文是一篇说明文。主要说明久坐影响人的健康，建议经常坐着工作的人尽可能多的站立或行走。阅读理解题测试考生在阅读基础上的逻辑推理能力，要求考生根据文章所述事件的逻辑关系，对未说明的趋势或结局作出合理的推断；或根据作者所阐述的观点理论，对文章未涉及的现象、事例给以解释。考生首先要仔细阅读短文，完整了解信息，准确把握作者观点。 (B)Nest (T3007ES) Learning Thermostat(恒温器), Easy Temperature Control for Every Room in Your House.SAVE ENERGY WITH NEST: Nest introduces the 3rd generation Nest Learning Thermostat.

There are many advantages for the social science major because this high-tech “Information Age” demands people who are flexible and who have good communication skills.There are many social science majors in large companies who fill important positions. For example, a number of research studies found that social science majors had achieved greater managerial success than those who had technical training or pre-professional courses. Studies show that social science majors are most suited for change, which is the leading feature of the kind of high speed, high-pressure, high-tech world we now live in.Social science majors are not only experiencing success in their long-term company jobs, but they are also finding jobs more easily. A study showed that many companies had filled a large percentage of their entry-level positions with social science graduates. The study also showed that the most sought-after quality in a person who was looking for a job was communication skills, noted as “very important” by 92 percent of the companies. Social science majors have these skills, often without knowing how important they are. It is probably due to these skills that they have been offered a wide variety of positions.Finally, although some social science majors may still find it more difficult than their technically trained classmates to land the first job, recent graduates report that they don’t regret their choice of study.33. Compared with graduates of other subjects, social science graduates _____.A. are ready to change when situations changeB. are better able to deal with difficultiesC. are equally good at computer skillsD. are likely to give others pressure34.

Summary Writing (10分)Directions: Read the following passage. Summarize the main idea and the main point(s) of the passage in no more than 60 words. Use your own words as far as possible.Optimism and pessimism represent your general attitude toward certain situations or to life in general. And your attitude about life may be more important to living than you think.A new study suggests that people who are optimistic may live longer than those who are pessimistic. Researchers at Harvard University’s School of Public Health in Boston compared women with “a general expectation that good things will happen” to women who were less optimistic. They found that the optimists had a much lower risk of getting several deadly diseases, including cancer, heart disease, stroke, respiratory disease and certain types of infection.Eric Kim, one of the study leaders, says optimism is connected with healthier behaviors and healthier ways of dealing with difficulty. Optimists tend to take better care of themselves by exercising, eating healthy foods and getting enough sleep.When compared to the least optimistic women in the study, the optimistic women had：• an almost forty percent lower risk of dying from heart disease, stroke and respiratory disease• a fifty percent lower risk of dying from infection• and a sixteen percent lower risk of dying from cancerLeslie Ralph, a clinical psychologist and counselor at the University of Arizona in Tucson, has several ideas about how to increase optimism.She says each night plan to do two or three simple, enjoyable activities the next day, such as watching the sun rise, visiting a friend, dancing to a favorite song or reading a story with your child.She also suggests that if your day starts badly, simply close your eyes for a moment and take a deep breath. When you open your eyes, imagine your day has started over. It’s like having your own restart button. Offering praise or support to someone can also improve your own outlook. A smile and “thank you” from another person may help you feel more optimistic.________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________71. According to a new study, optimistic people may live longer and are less likely to catch some deadly diseases than pessimistic ones in that they live a healthier life through exercise, health diet and adequate sleep. People can learn to be optimistic by planning some pleasant activities for the following day, trying to restart a bad day and complimenting others.

I feel greatly honored to be here to share with you my view on “me-time”. In my opinion, finding me-time is very important. With the development of modern society, we students in China are faced with more and more pressure. We have to spare every time to study hard and attend various after-class training courses to improve ourselves. Take me as an example. Four hours of homework and two piano lessons every day make me exhausted. How I miss my childhood when I was an active basketball player on my school team. But now, basketball has become a memory. Me-time seems to have become a luxury. However, excessive schoolwork cannot guarantee that we grow into healthy and well-rounded adults. So, my dear teachers, please assign less homework so that we students can find time to refresh and energize ourselves. It will definitely be beneficial to us both physically and mentally. My dear friends, why not stop for a while and do something you like? Finding me-time will surely make your life rich, colorful and rewarding. Thank you for your attention!A. suitable B. unfortunately C. worsen D. afford E. risk F. expensiveG. ideally H. provide I. solution J. remain K. concern
