　　泉州市2024高考英语文章突破一轮训练（16）及答案

　　I am not really much of a diet fan, my weight has never been an issue. I eat whatever I want, when I want. But as Pamela McDonald explains diet is not merely a method for controlling weight, but has a significant influence on health and quality of life.

　　I can hardly imagine that living on fried bacon would be a good way to lose weight and promote good overall health. Likewise a steady diet of cabbage soup would likely become somewhat monotonous(单调乏味的) after a couple of days.

　　Pamela McDonald takes a different approach, there is no one-size-fits-all diet, different people need different things. Although all humans are intrinsically(本质地) composed of the same material, the building blocks, our genes, are subtlety different.

　　The author maintains that one particular part of a person’s DNA, something called the APO E gene, has much to do with how our body tolerates foods of different types. This gene comes in 8 varieties and depending on the variety the food requirements are different. This has little to do with weight loss, and has more to do with overall good health. Weight gain is not a ‘problem’ but rather a symptom. A diet alone will not resolve the entire problem, it is merely one part of the larger picture.

　　I have to admit that parts of The APO E Gene Diet were a little heavy going, I appreciate that the author felt the requirement to back up her claims with some scientific data, but for the lay(外行的) man it makes for some rather difficult reading.

　　The second half of the book, is recipes, now this is something I do understand! She has created some very innovative dishes, and certainly more than one that had me feeling hungry just reading them. My favorite of them is a very traditional English dish the Cornish Pasty.

　　An interesting book and one that people should read, you can get your copy from Amazon.

　　What’s the writing purpose of the passage?

　　To help readers realize the importance of diets.

　　To share her reviews of a book about diets.

　　To advertise for the Amazon online bookstore.

　　To introduce a new way of losing weight.

　　2. What can we learn from Pamela McDonald’s book?

　　A. Different people need different foods to keep fit.

　　B. Humans are completely made up of the same genes.

　　C. Different APO E gene decides if you are healthy.

　　D. Diets alone can successfully help fat people lose weight.

　　What’s the shortage of Pamela McDonald’s book?

　　It advises people to eat some repeated diets every day to keep slim.

　　It supports its arguments with convincing scientific explanation.

　　Parts of it are difficult for common readers to understand well.

　　It is a heavy book that is too long for many readers to finish.

　　What CANNOT we infer from the passage?

　　A. What food we need is decided by the environment we’re brought up.

　　B. Gaining weight indicates there may be something wrong with your health.

　　C. The writer is deeply attracted by the dishes introduced in the book.

　　D. You can learn how to make the Cornish Pasty from the book.

　　5. We can use the following words to describe Pamela McDonald’s book EXCEPT____________?

　　A. interesting

　　B. innovative

　　C. persuasive

　　D. humourous

　　参考答案

　　1---5 B A C A D

　　D．lower1. 答案：A

　　解析：根据文章前面的叙述，作者从Luxor坐火车去Cairo旅游可知在凌晨1点，作者到达(reach)了目的地Cairo。

　　2. 答案：C

　　解析：根据下文的“a couple of fastfood restaurants would be open there”可以判断出，作者饿了，想找吃饭的地方，故正确答案为C项。

　　3. 答案：B

　　解析：由于作者以前去过Cairo，知道此时城里的大多数餐馆都关门(close down)了。let down“使失望，放下”，get down“记下，写下”，put down“记下”，均不符合语境。

　　4. 答案：D

　　解析：出租车把作者放在了Hardee's对面的街道。短语drop sb.off意思是“中途卸客”，符合语境。

　　5. 答案：D

　　解析：作者要进去就餐，当然要去推开(open)那家餐馆的门。

　　6. 答案：C

　　解析：根据文章的语境，街道上的两个男孩向作者跑来，叫喊(cry)着向他要食物。

　　7. 答案：B

　　解析：根据空线前后的内容，可以知道这里是并列的关系，作者作为一个经常旅游的人，又在埃及生活过一年，很熟悉孩子们的这种乞讨行为，所以要用as well as，意思是“和，又”。apart from“除了……外”，in favour of“赞成”，in return for“作为对……的回报”，均与语境不符。

　　8. 答案：C

　　解析：根据语境，可以知道作者对于乞讨的人并没有感到奇怪。

　　9. 答案：D

　　解析：根据语境可知，作者为孩子真诚的请求所感动(moved)。surprised“吃惊的”，regretted“遗憾的”，appointed“约定的”，不符合语境。

　　10. 答案：A

　　解析：根据下文的“two hamburgers for the boys”可以知道，这里指的是那两个男孩儿(boys)。

　　11. 答案：A

　　解析：根据语境可知，作者为那两个孩子点(order)了汉堡包。demand“强烈要求”，request“要求，请求”，deserve“值得”，不符合语境。

　　12. 答案：B

　　解析：汉堡包准备好时，作者走到外边(outside)，邀请孩子们和他一起吃饭。

　　13. 答案：C

　　解析：孩子们听到作者的邀请，发出了令人惊讶的喊声：“不，我们不应待在这样的好地方！”。

　　14. 答案：A

　　解析：根据下文的意思可知，作者没能(unable)说服那两个孩子进来。

　　15. 答案：B

　　解析：根据上文可知作者把买来的食物(food)带出了餐馆。

　　16. 答案：A

　　解析：当那两个孩子拿到食物后，不断地祈祷安拉保佑作者。只有A项符合文章。

　　17. 答案：B

　　解析：这里作者要告诉我们原因(why)，作者为什么一直为那两个埃及孩子祈祷。

　　18. 答案：C

　　解析：根据上文的“praying that Allah would always bless me”可知，作者也这样祈祷着。

　　19. 答案：D

　　解析：表示作者永远记着(remember)这一点……

　　20. 答案：A

　　解析：虽然他们无法给予我物质上的回报，但是他们给我的祈祷比物质上的东西更好(greater)。

　　Signs in Chinese will be set up in public areas，such as airports，to benefit Chinese travellers，the Italian Government announced in late February,2005.Now_many_European_countries_are_expected_to_follow_

　　the_example.

　　Despite the different languages，travelling across Europe has never been so simple.Just five years ago，if you wanted to visit Germany in the north and Spain in the south in one trip，you had to wait for weeks to apply for different visas from the two countries.You also need a calculator because both countries had different money.

　　Today，with a Schengen Visa issued by any member countries，you can travel across 15 European countries without stopping.Since 2002，within most of the EU，there is now just one type of money in the Euro.The Euro was designed to be the only money in the EU，and makes it easier to shop around.If you drive，your driving license and car insurance police are valid in the other countries.And you can use your mobile phone everywhere.

　　All the countries in the continent are melting into a united Europe under the EU.For Europeans and visitors the result is that it is more convenient to travel back and forth between the countries.

　　1.What does the writer mean by saying “Now many European countries are expected to follow the example.”？

　　A.More signs will be set up for Chinese in European countries.

　　B.Chinese is now an important language in Europe.

　　C.More Chinese people will travel across Europe.

　　D.More Europeans have a desire to know more about China.

　　2.What is the purpose of writing the text?

　　A.To praise the tourism policy in the EU.

　　B.To introduce the tourism conditions in the EU.

　　C.To encourage us to travel across Europe.

　　D.To suggest the world be melted into one like the EU.

　　3.Why has travelling in Europe become easier compared to five years ago?

　　A.Because you need not drive a car on your own.
