Traci Mann, PhD, associate professor of psychology at UCLA, was teaching a seminar on the psychology of eating when she noticed something odd (奇怪的) about diet studies. Few of the studies followed up on dieters for more than six months. Even fewer followed dieters for a year or more. Mann wondered what, in the long term, really happens when people go on diets. So she and her students tracked down 31 studies that, one way or another, had at least one year of follow-up data. They were interested in just one number: the percentage of dieters who, over time, gain back more weight than they lose. “We found that the average percentage of people who gained back more weight than they lost on diets was 41%, Mann tells WebMD. “In each of the studies, a third to two thirds of the subjects gained back more weight than they lost.Does this mean that most of the people in the studies actually lost weight and kept it off? No, Mann says. “This is actually bleaker (更不乐观的) than it seemseven though most people would find that 41% number to be pretty depressing (令人沮丧的), she says. “We have strong reasons to feel that this number underrepresents the true number of participants who gained back more weight than they lost.Mann and her colleagues report their findings in the April issue of American Psychologist.24. Where can we find the problems with diet studies?A. In Paragraph 2. B. In Paragraph 3.C. In Paragraph 2 and 3 D. In Paragraph 4 and 525. What did they find after tracking down 31 studies?A. Few studies followed dieters for a year or so.B. Most studies had one year of follow-up data.C. More and more people were on their way to diet.D. Almost a half of dieters gained back more weight.26. What does the underlined word "subjects" in Paragraph 4 refer to?A. Diet studies. B. Dieters. C. Diet researchers. D. Diet findings.27. What is the best title for the text?A. Diets Don't Work Long-term B. Lifestyle Change Is Really HardC. Diet Is Easier Said Than Done D. Diet Studies Have Their ProblemsC Australia, France or Mars? When considering a place to emigrate to, Mars might not be the best choice in your list, but according to an online survey, more than one in ten of British would accept a one-way ticket there. Yes, you read that correctly because the Mars One mission is looking to emigrate to Mars, the first voyagers will not be able to return back to Earth. The organizers suggest applicants think over their applications, because the agreement didnt come with a return ticket. But still thousands of people agreed to it.The Mars One aims to construct a human settlement on Mars. Thankfully, applications for the program are entirely voluntary and potential astronauts can back out at any time during the strict selection process.In order to apply, the candidate must be over 18, have A2 English level and be adaptable and curious. The following selection process consists of four rounds.The first round is an online application including general information and a one-minute video in which the applicant answers some given questions and explains why he or she should be among the first humans to set foot on Mars. At the end of the first round, a team of Mars One experts will decide which applicants will pass to the next round.The remaining applicants must then provide a medical statement from their doctor stating that they have met all the requirements. Successful candidates will then be briefly interviewed by Mars Ones chief medical officer Norbert Kraft.One-hundred healthy, smart candidates are then in the third round which will test their team work ability and communication skills through a series of group challenges.The final part of the testing process is the ability to stay alone. Even the best astronauts in history can hardly enjoy the silent space. Following this challenge, the forty remaining candidates will be reduced to thirty who will then undergo the Mars Settler Suitability Interview. Following on from the first selection series, international crews of up to six groups of four will become full time employees of Mars One.28What is the organizers attitude towards the online survey result?AUnderstandable.BSatisfied.CUnexpected.DDoubtful.29What does the underlined phrase “back out in paragraph 2 mean?AStop carrying out the agreement.BMove out of space backwards.CDrive aircrafts backwards and leave.DFail to pay attention to the advertisement.30What do the Mars One experts mainly do in the first round?ATest the candidates English level.BCheck the basic information of participants.CInterview the candidates and collect the forms.DDetermine whether candidates are eager to learn.31What is the most challenging for the participants?ATheir skills to communicate with others.BTheir excellent physical health at present.CTheir abilities to cooperate with the team.DTheir long-time adaptability to being alone.DGetting rid of dirt, in the opinion of most people, is a good thing. However, there is nothing fixed about attitudes to dirt. In the early 16th century, people thought that dirt on the skin was a means to block out disease, as medical opinion had it that washing off dirt with hot water could open up the skin and let ills in. A particular danger was thought to lie in public baths. By 1538, the French king had closed the bath houses in his kingdom. So did the king of England in 1546. Thus it began a long time when the rich and the poor in Europe lived with dirt in a friendly way. Henry IV, King of France, was famously dirty. Upon learning that a nobleman had taken a bath, the king ordered that, to avoid the attack of disease, the nobleman should not go out.Though the belief in the merit of dirt was long-lived, dirt has no longer been regarded as a nice neighbor ever since the 18th century. Scientifically speaking, cleaning away dirt is good to health. Clean water supply and hand washing are practical means of preventing disease. Yet, it seems that standards of cleanliness have moved beyond science since World War II. Advertisements repeatedly sell the idea; clothes need to be whiter than white, cloths ever softer, surfaces to shine. Has the hate for dirt, however, gone too far?Attitudes to dirt still differ hugely nowadays. Many first-time parents nervously try to warn their children of touching dirt, which might be responsible for the spread of disease. On the contrary, Mary Ruebush, an American immunologist(免疫学家),encourages children to play in the dirt to build up a strong immune system. And the latter position is gaining some ground.32.The kings of France and England in the 16th century closed bath houses because_.A. they lived healthily in a dirty environment. B. they thought bath houses were to dirty to stay inC. they believed disease could be spread in public bathsD. they considered bathing as the cause of skin disease33. Which of the following best describes Henry IV's attitude to bathing?A. AfraidB. Curious C. Approving D. Uninterested34. How does the passage mainly develop?A. By providing examples. B. By making comparisons.C. By following the order of time. D. By following the order of importance.35. What is the author's purpose in writing the passage?A. To stress the role of dirt.B. To introduce the history of dirt. C. To call attention to the danger of dirt.D. To present the change of views on dirt.第二节共5小题；每题2分，总分值10分 根据短文内容，从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最正确选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。Language expresses our identity and reflects who we are, and who we want to be. Every time we speak, we give listeners information about ourselves and where we're from. When we travel around the United States we often hear people ask: Oh, are you from New York/Chicago/ Texas? _36_ Their guesses might be based on our phonology(also called accent)or on our choice of particular vocabulary. Interestingly, many of us consider our way of speaking to be neutral (无倾向性的). It's hard for us to hear features of our own speech that might be obvious to people who speak other dialects (方言). Language experts use the term dialect to mean "a variety shared by a group of speakers". _37_Bus drivers, teachers, your neighbors, CEOs of Fortune 500 companies and you (whether you know it or not) speak a dialect, too. _38_And why? The answer depends on who you are and where you live. We all recognize that some language sounds pleasant or correct or cool to us-and some sounds "uneducated" or just plain bad. _39_Learning what we feel about language is important to society for a number of reasons. Often, children who speak non-standard dialects may be inaccurately classified as "not knowing much English" or even "having a speech defect (缺陷), with terrible consequences for them. Or people who regularly mix words or phrases from more than one language within sentences are thought to be unable to speak the languages very well. (But usually the opposite is true.)Studying language helps us learn about the remarkable resources of the human brain. _40_It also helps us examine a form of social stereotyping we may not have been aware existed.A. There are also many other reasons.B. Or at least, where are you from?C. It helps us learn more about social organization.D. Clearly, they know everything about us.E. With so many dialects, which one is the best?F. By this definition, everyone speaks a dialect.G. But one person's thumbs down is another' s thumbs up.第三局部 语言知识运用共两节，总分值45分第一节 完形填空共20小题；每题15分，总分值30分 阅读下面的短文，从短文后各题所给的A、B、C和D四个选项中，选出可以填入空白处的最正确选项，并在答题卡上将该项涂黑。 Throughout my high school career, Ive made a point of doing what many people fail to do on a daily basis: reflect and assess my life and decisions.
