【語篇導(dǎo)讀】 本文是一篇說明文。不良的飲食習(xí)慣給人們帶來了很多危害，因此作者呼吁大家要養(yǎng)成健康的飲食習(xí)慣。
1．becoming [考查動(dòng)詞的用法。與前面的“are spending”構(gòu)成并列謂語，故用－ing形式。]
2．beneficial [考查固定搭配的用法。謂語動(dòng)詞為系動(dòng)詞be，故用形容詞作be no beneficial to”意思是“對(duì)……無益”。]
3．what [考查關(guān)系詞的用法。句意：當(dāng)我們購買了現(xiàn)成的或提前準(zhǔn)備好的食物時(shí)，我們很難清楚地知道我們吃的到底是什么。know后面的賓語從句中缺少賓語，故填what。]
4．more [考查比較級(jí)的用法。根據(jù)后面的than這個(gè)詞，可知要用形容詞的比較級(jí)。]
5．to make [
6．changes [考查動(dòng)詞時(shí)態(tài)的用法。the number of 意思是“……的數(shù)目”?！癟he number of＋復(fù)數(shù)名詞”作主語時(shí)，謂語動(dòng)詞用單數(shù)。]
7．on [考查固定搭配的用法。on the other hand 為固定搭配，意思是“另一方面”。]
8．weight [考put on后面缺少賓語，應(yīng)當(dāng)變成名詞?！皃ut on weight”是“增肥”的意思。]
9．a(chǎn) [考查冠詞的用法。live a happy life“過著幸福的生活”，這是固定詞組。]
10．balanced [考查形容詞的用法。修飾名詞diet要用形容詞，balanced意思是“均衡的”。]
Ⅰ.閱讀理解
A
Like many people you may be dreaming of a career as a rock and roll star. There are two ways to go about getting one. First there is the traditional way. Find some friends and form a group. Learn to play the guitar or the drums. Write your own songs. Spend hours arguing about the band name. Then go on the road.
The next step is to spend a year or two touring. If you are good, the crowds will get bigger. In the end an artist from a record company may come to a show. If he or she likes you，there may be a deal. This is the route traditionally followed by bands in the music industry. Success means fame and wealth. And failure gives you some interesting stories to tell your children.
Over the last few years a different path to success has become known. Boy bands like Boyzone and girl bands like the Spice Girls don't come together on their own.They are created by managers and record companies.Their image is strictly controlled. Professional song writers usually write their music. This is a convenient arrangement and the public seems to love the result.
Though boy and girl bands have become very popular recently，there is a long tradition of making music in this way. In the early 1960's an American businessman called Berry Gordy founded Motown Records. Motown is short for “motor town”. The record company was based in the city of Detroit, where thousands of African-Americans had moved to work in the car industry. They brought with them a cultural tradition of writing and performing music. This style later became known as “soul music”. Berry Gordy was a diamond miner. He took raw talent from the street and polished it until it shone. Motown stars were not just given songs to sing. They were also taught how to dress well and speak properly.
1．In the first paragraph the writer seems to tell us ________.
A. to form a band is very hard
B. the name of the band is very important
C. newly-built bands can only perform by road
D. to form a band is very simple
答案：D 推斷題。依據(jù)第一段中“First...”所在的句子可看出作者認(rèn)為組成一個(gè)樂隊(duì)非常簡單。
2．If a newborn band wants to succeed, as the writer tells, it must have the chance________.
A. to travel in big cities
B. to perform before an artist
C. to make an agreement with a record company
D. to experience failure again and again
答案：C 細(xì)節(jié)題。根據(jù)第二段中“In the end an artist from a record company may come to a show. If he or she likes you, there may be a deal.”可知C項(xiàng)正確。
3．From the fourth paragraph，we can conclude that ________.
A. Motown was only enjoyed by the workers in Detroit
B. Motown showed the style of the black Americans
C. Detroit used to be famous for its music industry
D. Detroit was founded by African-Americans
答案：B 細(xì)節(jié)題。依據(jù)該段中“.. where thousands of African-Americans had moved to work in the car industry.”而確定選B項(xiàng)。
4．From the passage, we can learn that Motown stars________.
A. used to be miners
B. used to dress poorly
C. became perfect little by little
D. came from Berry Gordy's hometown
答案：C 推理判斷題。根據(jù)最后一段中“He took raw talent from the street and polished it until it shone.”可知C項(xiàng)是最佳選項(xiàng)。
B
Perhaps you think you could easily add to your happiness with more money.Strange as it may seem, if you're unsatisfied, the issue is not a lack of means to meet your desires but a lack of desires — not that you cannot satisfy your tastes but that you don't have enough tastes.
Real riches consist of well-developed and hearty capacities
to enjoy life.Most people are already swamped (淹沒) with things.They eat, wear, go and talk too much.They_live_in_too_big_a_house_with_too_many_rooms,_yet_their_house_of_life_is_a_hut.
Your house of life ought to be a mansion (豪宅), a royal palace.Every new taste, every additional interest, every fresh enthusiasm adds a room.Here are several rooms your house of life should have.
Art should be a desire for you to develop simply because the world is full of beautiful things.If you only understood how to enjoy them and feed your spirit on them, they would make you as happy as to find plenty of ham and eggs when you're hungry.
Literature, classic literature, is a beautiful, richly furnished room where you might find many an hour of rest and refreshment.To gain that love would go toward making you a rich person, for a rich person is not someone who has a library but who likes a library.
Music like Mozart's and Bach's shouldn't be absent.Real riches are of the spirit.And when you've brought that spirit up to where classical music feeds it and makes you a little drunk, you have increased your thrills and bettered them.And life is a matter of thrills.
Sports, without which you remain poor, mean a lot in life.No matter who you are, you would be more human, and your house of life would be better supported against the bad days, if you could, and did, play a bit.
Whatever rooms you might add to your house of life, the secret of enjoying life is to keep adding.

A.however materially rich, they never seem to be satisfied

3.It can be learned from the passage that________.

(2024·鄭州質(zhì)量預(yù)測(cè)) In all the world's cultures, people sing, play instruments, and celebrate with music.It plays such an important role in our lives that all fields focus on its study, including one looking at the biology of music.Experts are finding that because of the way our brains process music, learning to play an instrument or just listening to music can have a wide range of benefits.
Music education has received a lot of attention.Learning to play an instrument can help children improve math, science, and language skills.One study in Canada tracked children's IQ scores for nine months, discovering that children who studied music had the biggest test score improvements.The secret may lie in the way reading music and playing notes uses several areas of the brain, increasing our ability to learn school subjects.For example, reading notes improves spatial reasoning skills, which are helpful in solving math problems like fractions.
Music is also used for medical purposes, such as the treatment of diseases which affect memory.The secret lies in the way the brain processes music.One area near the forehead, the medial prefrontal cortex, connects music with memories stored in two other areas：the amygdale and hippocampus.That's why an old song can remind you of something that happened years ago.For patients suffering from diseases like Alzheimer's, listening to music can help unlock buried memories by strengthening musical pathways to memories.
With the evidence of music's benefits pouring in, it's no wonder some countries make music study a part of their education systems.People are recognizing that more than just a form of entertainment, music is also great for the brain.

Some Steps for Breaking Through Your Comfort Zone
A comfort zone is a self-imposed boundary where a person will refuse to push past. Doing so usually fills him or her with nervousness and anxiety. So let's talk about breaking out of this comfort zone.
Get information. To break through your comfort zone you need to first educate yourself. Your goal here is to find out about whatever skill you're pursuing. You'll talk to people who have done the same thing.
1.________ And you'll check out articles on the Internet about this subject.
Have a plan. After educating yourself it's important to create a plan of action. With this step you're going to write down a step-by-step blueprint for how you're going to break through your comfort zone. 2.________
Then you create a plan to get to each level. In this plan you need to create benchmarks. These are mini-goals that put you one step close to pushing past your comfort zone.
3.________ This is an important step because the people in your life will keep you on track. You want them to give you that “push” as you're pushing your boundaries. They will make it hard for you to quit because you know you'll look foolish if you did.
