Hundreds of years ago, life was harder than it is today. People didn't have modern machines.
Life today has brought new problems. One of the biggest problems is pollution. Water pollution has made our rivers and lakes dirty. It kills our fish and pollutes our drinking water. Noise pollution makes us talk louder and become angry more easily. Air pollution is the most serious kind of pollution to all living things in the world.
Cars, planes and factories all pollute our air every day. Sometimes the polluted air is so thick that it is like a quilt over a city. This kind of quilt is called smog.
Many countries are making rules to fight against pollution. Factories must now clean their water before it is thrown away, and they mustn't let dirty smoke go into the air.
We need to do many other things. We can put waste things in the dustbin and do not throw them on the ground. We can go to work by bus or with our friends in the same car. If there are fewer people driving, there will be less pollution.
Rules are not enough. Every person must help to fight against pollution.

What time of day do you feel most alert(清醒的) Are you more of a morning person Or does your brain need a few hours to get going A lot of research suggests that we should pay attention to our body clock. It can tell us what time of day we are best able to perform, according to the Wall Street Journal.
When it comes to the human brain, many people work best later in the morning. This is because the body’s temperature takes time to rise through the day. Taking a warm shower when you wake up can help speed this up.
But everyone’s body clock is different. Morning people will rise early and work better early in the day. Evening people will wake later but their brain will work better toward the end of the day.
Research show that we’re better at some activities at certain times of the day. Physical performance is at its best between 3pm and 6pm, so it’s better to exercise later in the day.
Between noon and 4 pm, people begin to get distracted (思想不集中的). This is partly because our brain becomes less alert after we eat a big meal. Research also shows that we become sleepy around 2 pm.
Finally, it is best to eat during our active periods. This allows our body to burn calories better and stops our blood sugar levels from getting too high.
8. Many people perform best later in the morning because ________.
A. they can’t get up very early.
B. they have to take a shower first.
C. the body’s temperature needs time to rise.
D. that’s when the brain wakes up.
9. Evening people had better ________.
A. rise early and work in the morning.
B. wake later and work better in the evening.
C. rise late and work in the morning
D. wake later and work after midnight.
10. According to the research, which of the following is TRUE
A. It’s better to do exercise in the afternoon.
B. We perform better after eating a big meal.
C. Sleeping at 2 pm is not good for our health.
D. Our body burns calories better at night.
11. What would be the best title for the story
A. Research about time. B. The best time to do things.
C. Brain performance. D. Different periods of a day.
【答案】8. C 9. B 10. A 11. B
【解析】
【导语】这是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍了不同时间段人类大脑的活跃情况。
【8题详解】
细节理解题。由文章第一段“When it comes to the human brain, many people work best later in the morning. This is because the body’s temperature takes time to rise through the day. Taking a warm shower when you wake up can help speed this up(说到人类的大脑，很多人在早上晚些时候工作得最好。这是因为体温在一天中需要时间上升。醒来后洗个热水澡可以帮助加快这一过程。)”可知，很多人在早上晚些时候表现得最好，因为身体的温度需要时间来提高。故选C。
【9题详解】
细节理解题。由文章第三段中“Evening people will wake later but their brain will work better toward the end of the day.(夜猫子醒得晚，但他们的大脑在一天快结束时工作得更好。)”可知，夜猫子醒得晚，晚上工作得更好。故选B。
【10题详解】
细节理解题。根据第四段中“Physical performance is at its best between 3pm and 6pm, so it’s better to exercise later in the day.(下午3点到6点是身体表现最好的时候，所以最好在当天晚些时候锻炼。)”可知，在下午身体表现最好，所以最好在当天晚些时候进行锻炼，故排除B选项，A选项正确。根据第五段中“Research also shows that we become sleepy around 2 pm.(研究还表明，我们在下午2点左右会感到困倦。)”可知，我们在下午2点左右会感到困倦，但并没有说这个时间睡觉是否有利于健康，故排除选项C。根据最后一段“Finally, it is best to eat during our active periods. This allows our body to burn calories better and stops our blood sugar levels from getting too high.(最后，最好在我们活跃的时期吃东西。这可以让我们的身体更好地燃烧卡路里，并阻止我们的血糖水平过高。)”，可知，在活跃的时期吃东西可以让我们的身体更好地燃烧卡路里，但没有说明具体时间，故排除D选项。故选A。
【11题详解】
标题判断题。根据整篇文章内容及其第一段句子“What time of day do you feel most alert(清醒的) Are you more of a morning person Or does your brain need a few hours to get going A lot of research suggests that we should pay attention to our body clock. It can tell us what time of day we are best able to perform, according to the Wall Street Journal.(你一天中什么时候最清醒？你是一个早起的人吗？还是你的大脑需要几个小时才能运转？许多研究表明，我们应该注意我们的生物钟。据《华尔街日报》报道，它可以告诉我们一天中什么时候我们的表现最好。)”可知文章讲述的是做事情的最佳时机。故选B。

Hunger is the greatest motive for the inexperienced cook. But many people are now worried that we are producing a generation without the slightest idea of how to cook—a generation that is frightened to cook. I have just received a handout from Focus on Food, which is running a competition to get children back into the kitchen. Has television cooking become a replacement for the real thing Is this an age where famous professional cooks have turned cooking into a sort of show, with dishes far too difficult for the beginners to copy
I decided to ask my oldest daughter Miranda, for her opinion. Are children earning enough about the importance of good cooking Do they know cooking is a basic life skill Sociology and other “new” subjects are all very well, but without the ability to cook, or to understand the pleasure and principles of good food and its relationship to good health, are we really preparing them for adult life
Miranda started her cooking at the age of nine, when she decided to enter the Sainsbury’s Future Cook competition. She was motivated by a different kind of greed: the first prize — a trip to Disney World.
The problem, from the parental point of view, was that if she made it through to the regional (区域性的) finals, she would have to cook her meal in front of the judges. Some 30,000 children entered and she made it through as the youngest regional finalist. Now she had to learn to cook. Her hands were not even big enough to hold the knife and slice the onions. Six Saturdays running we ate the same lunch—Mozzarella meatballs in fresh tomato juice and blueberry.
First, she cooked by my side, then alone with timings and instructions. Finally, she went alone against the clock. The kitchen looked like a battlefield, but she had gained victory. The tiny be—capped figure then stood in an unknown Bristol hotel, looking like a professional who had been at the stove for years. She didn’t win, but she came home with 50 and the most valuable part of them all: confidence.
12. The competition run by Focus on Food is intended for ______.
A. children B. parents C. teachers D. chefs
13. Why does the writer think cooking is so important
A. It is an easy way to keep healthy. B. It helps develop relationships.
C. It is a necessary skill for life. D. It can save a lot of money.
14. The writer’s family had the same lunch on six Saturdays because ______.
A. the family stuck to healthy food B. Miranda had to practice cooking
C. the dish was the family’s only food D. the dish was Miranda’s favorite meal
15. What did Miranda gain from the competition
A. A trip to Disney World. B. Support from friends.
C. A medal for the winner. D. Belief in herself.
【答案】12. A 13. C 14. B 15. D
【解析】
【导语】这是一篇夹叙夹议文。文章主要说明了作者让大女儿参加厨艺比赛，作者认为这是一项基本的生活技能，非常重要。最终女儿虽然没有赢得比赛，但是获得了自信。
【12题详解】
细节理解题。根据第一段中“I have just received a handout from Focus on Food, which is running a competition to get children back into the kitchen.(我刚刚收到了“关注食物”组织的一份传单，该组织正在举办一场让孩子们重返厨房的比赛)”可知，由“关注食物”组织的比赛主要针对孩子。故选A。
【13题详解】
细节理解题。根据第二段中“Are children earning enough about the importance of good cooking Do they know cooking is a basic life skill Sociology and other “new” subjects are all very well, but without the ability to cook, or to understand the pleasure and principles of good food and its relationship to good health, are we really preparing them for adult life (孩子们是否足够了解好厨艺的重要性？他们知道烹饪是一项基本的生活技能吗？社会学和其他“新”学科都很好，但如果没有烹饪的能力，或不了解美食的乐趣和原则及其与健康的关系，我们真的能让他们为成年生活做好准备吗？)”可知，作者认为烹饪如此重要因为这是生活的必要技能。故选C。
【14题详解】
细节理解题。根据倒数第二段“Now she had to learn to cook. Her hands were not even big enough to hold the knife and slice the onions. Six Saturdays running we ate the same lunch—Mozzarella meatballs in fresh tomato juice and blueberry.(现在她必须学会做饭。她的手还不够大，拿不动刀切洋葱。连续六个星期六，我们吃着同样的午餐——新鲜番茄汁和蓝莓马苏里拉肉丸)”可知，作者的家人在六个星期六吃同样的午餐，是因为米兰达不得不练习烹饪。故选B。
【15题详解】
细节理解题。根据最后一段中“She didn’t win, but she came home with 50 and the most valuable part of them all: confidence.(她没有赢，但她带着50英镑和其中最宝贵的部分回家：信心)”可知，米兰达从比赛中收获了相信自己。故选D。

Hundreds of years ago, life was harder than it is today. People didn't have modern machines.
Life today has brought new problems. One of the biggest problems is pollution. Water pollution has made our rivers and lakes dirty. It kills our fish and pollutes our drinking water. Noise pollution makes us talk louder and become angry more easily. Air pollution is the most serious kind of pollution to all living things in the world.
Cars, planes and factories all pollute our air every day. Sometimes the polluted air is so thick that it is like a quilt over a city. This kind of quilt is called smog.
Many countries are making rules to fight against pollution. Factories must now clean their water before it is thrown away, and they mustn't let dirty smoke go into the air.
We need to do many other things. We can put waste things in the dustbin and do not throw them on the ground. We can go to work by bus or with our friends in the same car. If there are fewer people driving, there will be less pollution.
Rules are not enough. Every person must help to fight against pollution.

What time of day do you feel most alert(清醒的) Are you more of a morning person Or does your brain need a few hours to get going A lot of research suggests that we should pay attention to our body clock. It can tell us what time of day we are best able to perform, according to the Wall Street Journal.
When it comes to the human brain, many people work best later in the morning. This is because the body’s temperature takes time to rise through the day. Taking a warm shower when you wake up can help speed this up.
But everyone’s body clock is different. Morning people will rise early and work better early in the day. Evening people will wake later but their brain will work better toward the end of the day.
Research show that we’re better at some activities at certain times of the day. Physical performance is at its best between 3pm and 6pm, so it’s better to exercise later in the day.
Between noon and 4 pm, people begin to get distracted (思想不集中的). This is partly because our brain becomes less alert after we eat a big meal. Research also shows that we become sleepy around 2 pm.
Finally, it is best to eat during our active periods. This allows our body to burn calories better and stops our blood sugar levels from getting too high.
8. Many people perform best later in the morning because ________.
A. they can’t get up very early.
B. they have to take a shower first.
C. the body’s temperature needs time to rise.
D. that’s when the brain wakes up.
9. Evening people had better ________.
A rise early and work in the morning.
B. wake later and work better in the evening.
C. rise late and work in the morning
D. wake later and work after midnight.
10. According to the research, which of the following is TRUE
A. It’s better to do exercise in the afternoon.
B. We perform better after eating a big meal.
C. Sleeping at 2 pm is not good for our health.
D. Our body burns calories better at night.
11. What would be the best title for the story
A. Research about time. B. The best time to do things.
C. Brain performance. D. Different periods of a day.
D
Hunger is the greatest motive for the inexperienced cook. But many people are now worried that we are producing a generation without the slightest idea of how to cook—a generation that is frightened to cook. I have just received a handout from Focus on Food, which is running a competition to get children back into the kitchen. Has television cooking become a replacement for the real thing Is this an age where famous professional cooks have turned cooking into a sort of show, with dishes far too difficult for the beginners to copy
I decided to ask my oldest daughter, Miranda, for her opinion. Are children earning enough about the importance of good cooking Do they know cooking is a basic life skill Sociology and other “new” subjects are all very well, but without the ability to cook, or to understand the pleasure and principles of good food and its relationship to good health, are we really preparing them for adult life
Miranda started her cooking at the age of nine, when she decided to enter the Sainsbury’s Future Cook competition. She was motivated by a different kind of greed: the first prize — a trip to Disney World.
The problem, from the parental point of view, was that if she made it through to the regional (区域性的) finals, she would have to cook her meal in front of the judges. Some 30,000 children entered and she made it through as the youngest regional finalist. Now she had to learn to cook. Her hands were not even big enough to hold the knife and slice the onions. Six Saturdays running we ate the same lunch—Mozzarella meatballs in fresh tomato juice and blueberry.
First, she cooked by my side, then alone with timings and instructions. Finally, she went alone against the clock. The kitchen looked like a battlefield, but she had gained victory. The tiny be—capped figure then stood in an unknown Bristol hotel, looking like a professional who had been at the stove for years. She didn’t win, but she came home with 50 and the most valuable part of them all: confidence.
12. The competition run by Focus on Food is intended for ______.
A. children B. parents C. teachers D. chefs
13. Why does the writer think cooking is so important
A. It is an easy way to keep healthy. B. It helps develop relationships.
C. It is a necessary skill for life. D. It can save a lot of money.
14. The writer’s family had the same lunch on six Saturdays because ______.
A. the family stuck to healthy food B. Miranda had to practice cooking
C. the dish was the family’s only food D. the dish was Miranda’s favorite meal
15. What did Miranda gain from the competition
A. A trip to Disney World. B. Support from friends.
C. A medal for the winner. D. Belief in herself.
