combatchildhoodobesity”，第六段的內(nèi)容都是圍繞這一句話來寫的。63．C。本題是推理判斷題。文章倒數(shù)第二段第一句說食鹽不只影響我們的心臟和體重，還影響我們的腎，而且以前腎結(jié)石一般發(fā)病于40多歲的人群中，而現(xiàn)在連5歲的孩子也會因過多地?cái)z人食鹽而患腎結(jié)石。也就是說現(xiàn)在食鹽的大量攝人能在更廣泛的人群中、在更多的方面影響人們的身體健康。故選C。[解題導(dǎo)語]本文為一篇科普文章。文章告訴我們，在昏暗的燈光下看書，眼睛要距離書本很近，這樣會導(dǎo)致眼睛疲勞，甚至?xí)谷烁械筋^暈、惡心等。文章最后告訴我們，近視跟遺傳有很大的關(guān)系。64．B。細(xì)節(jié)理解題。由第二段的第一句話(Whentheeyeadjuststolowerlevelsoflight，musclesaroundtheirisrelaxandallowthepupiltodilatesothatmorelightwillenterandhitthebackoftheeye．)可知，當(dāng)眼睛去適應(yīng)昏暗的光線時，虹膜周圍的肌肉便會放松，然后瞳孔便放大，于是會有更多的光線到達(dá)眼睛的后部。所以B項(xiàng)正確。A項(xiàng)將過程說反廠。65．B。細(xì)節(jié)理解題。由第三段的最后一句話(．．．thereasonbeingthattheybecometensefrommusclesOfeyesthatareworkingharderthannormaltofocusimages．)可知，在昏暗的燈光下讀書時，眼睛周圍的肌肉工作強(qiáng)度更大.故B項(xiàng)符合題意。66．B。根據(jù)最后一段第二句話(Duringthefirstdecadeoflife，theeyeschangeslightlyinshapeandsize，significantlyimpactingonhowtheeyesfocus．)可知，在生命的前十年里，眼球的形狀和大小會發(fā)生細(xì)微的變化，這極大地影響了眼球的聚焦方式。由此可知生命的前十年對人的眼睛是非常重要的。所以B項(xiàng)正確。67．A。綜合全文內(nèi)容可知，在昏暗的燈光下看書，雖然會導(dǎo)致眼睛疲勞，甚至?xí)谷烁械筋^暈和惡心，但并非必然導(dǎo)致近視。其他選項(xiàng)與文章不符。[解題導(dǎo)語]文章列舉了不同的人對網(wǎng)絡(luò)游戲的不同看法，孩子玩暴力游戲是否真的會變得比較暴力?不同的人有不同的看法。[長難句解讀]BlamingchildrenbeingviolentOngamesandsuchisn’tright．動名詞blamingchildren用作句子的主語；短語beingviolenton．．．是非謂語作后置定語。68．B。本題考查文章的主旨大意。從全文來看，作者列舉了許多人對網(wǎng)絡(luò)游戲的評論，故B為正確答案。69．D。本題考查推理判斷。從第一段中“IshouldhaveplayedthegamesIwroteaboutfirst．．．Iapologizeformakingmistakes．．．”可知，人們對上一個電子游戲故事是不滿意的，故答案選D。70．B。推理判斷題。文中第二段中一些人認(rèn)為電子游戲也應(yīng)當(dāng)像電影一樣分級，家長有責(zé)任不讓孩子接觸M級的電子游戲；一些人認(rèn)為孩子們能夠而且應(yīng)該分清什么是真實(shí)的生活什么是虛幻的東西；還有許多人很難相信電子游戲與孩子們的暴力行為有關(guān)系。故可以知道人們對電子游戲的看法是不同的。（二）ARecentrumors(流言)aboutthatChinesedivingqueenGuoJingjingwillmarryKennethFoknextmonth,buttheseweredeniedbybothKennethandhisfatherFokTsun-TingonFridayafternoon,.SinacontactedboththefatherandsonthisafternoontoseekcommentandwastoldbyKenneththatthecouplehavemadenosuchplans.Hisfatheralsodeniedtheyhadalreadysentoutweddinginvitations.Therumorwasleakedfrom‘Wenweipo’,oneofHongKong'smainstreamnewspapers,andsoonaftermadeheadlinesonthemainland.ThearticlequotedsourcesassayingChinesedivingqueenGuoJingjingwillmarryKennethFokKai-kong,thegrandsonofthelateHongKongbusinesstycoon,HenryFok,inmid-nextmonth.It’sbelievedthattheFokfamilyprefertokeepalowprofileandavoidmediaspeculationaboutthewedding.However,unidentifiedsourceshavedisclosedthatmanyfriendsoftheFokfamilyhavealreadyreceivedweddinginvitations.It’salsobeensuggestedthatGuowillmoveinto‘FokVillas’inHongKong'sSassoonRoad,whereHongKong'swealthyreside,afterthemarriage.Reportedly,KennethFokisassistingGuotoobtainaHongKongIDviatheQualityMigrantAdmissionScheme.Inspiteoftherumorsaboutthewedding,somepeopledoubtwhetherthenewsistrue,sayingitisjustmediaguess.LastSeptember,arumoremergedthatGuowassufferingfromadetachedretinabutitwaslaterdeniedbyGuoherself.Meanwhile,ZhouJihong,teamleaderoftheChinesediving“dreamteam”revealedinarecentinterviewthatshehasnoideaaboutGuo’sso-calledimpendingwedding.EarlierthismonthGuocompletedthenationaldivingchampionshiptournamentinFuzhou,southeastChina’sFujianprovince,andhasnootherdivingcompetitionsscheduledinthenearfuture.Questions:1.Accordingtothepassage,whatstatementisnottrue?A.FokTsun-Tingdeniedtheyhadalreadysentoutweddinginvitations.B.TherumorwasleakedfromC.theFokfamilyprefertokeepasecretaboutthewedding.D.ZhouJihongknewnothingaboutGuo’swedding.2.whatproofsareprovidedinthepassagetoproveGuo’sweddingexcept_______?A.UnidentifiedsourceshavedisclosedthatmanyfriendsoftheFokfamilyhavealreadyreceivedweddinginvitations.B.It'salsobeensuggestedthatGuowillmoveinto'FokVillas'inHongKong'sSassoonRoadC.Reportedly,KennethFokisassistingGuotoobtainaHongKongIDviatheQualityMigrantAdmissionScheme.D.LastSeptember,arumoremergedthatGuowassufferingfromadetachedretina.3.What’sthemeaningoftheword“emerged”?A.revealedB.reported.C.deniedD.admitted答案：BDA1.從文章第三段可知B項(xiàng)錯誤。2.從文章倒數(shù)第三段可知。3.該詞所在的句子講的是流言的內(nèi)容，因此推測出謂語動詞的意思。B.WallStreetendsinredinchangingsession(交易日)ByAlistairGrayandAnujGangaharinNewYorkPublished:October17200813:54|Lastupdated:October17200821:44AwildweekforWallStreetstocksthatsawtheirbiggestgainsincetheDepressionandworstsell-offsince1987drewtoaclosewithanotherchangingsessionthatendedinthered.Themarketswungbetweengainsofasmuchas4percentandlossesthathit2.9percent.TheS&P500closeddown0.6percentat940.56points.TheNasdaqwasdown0.4percentat1,711.29points,andtheDowwasdown1.4percentat8,852.22points.Yetthebenchmark（基準(zhǔn)）S&Pstillfinishedtheweekup4.6percentitsbiggestgainsinceIraqwasoccupiedin2003withtheNasdaqup3.7percentandtheDow4.7percenthigher.Financialsclimbed5.8percentovertheweek,liftedbythefresh$250bnplantosupportUSbanks.Banks,likeBankofAmerica,GoldmanSachsandCitigroupamongthebiggestinwhichthegovernmentissettobuystocksadvanced11.4percentto$23.24,28.7percentto$114.30and5.5percentto$14.88respectively(分別地).TheChicagoBoardOptionsExchangeVolatilityindex(指數(shù))increasedover80forthefirsttimeinits18-yearhistory.However,itfinishedtheweekdown1.2percentat69.45.Technologystocksweredownafterth
