26阅读理解六（对应以下6-1至6-5）
Part of a research study,by scientists at McMaster university,which is ongoing into the influence of drinking milk after heavy weightlifting,has observed that milk helps exercisers burn more fat.
The scientists took three groups of young men 18 to 30 years of age,56 in total,and put them through a strict,fivedayperweek weightlifting program over a 12week period. Following their workouts,study participants drank either two cups of skim milk (脱脂奶),or a soy beverage with equivalent amounts of protein and energy,or a carbohydrate beverage (碳酸饮料) with an equivalent amount of energy.
Upon the study’s conclusion,scientists observed that:the milk drinking group had lost nearly twice as much fat—two pounds—as those in the carbohydrate beverage group,who lost one pound of fat. Those drinking soy lost no fat. At the same time,the gain in muscle was much greater among the milk drinkers than either the soy or carbohydrate beverage participants.
As published in the first stage of the study,the milk drinking group came out on top in terms of muscle gain with an estimated 40 percent or 2.5 pounds more muscle mass than the soy beverage drinkers. In addition,this group gained 63 percent or 3.3 pounds more muscle mass than the carbohydrate beverage drinkers.
“I think the evidence is beginning to increase,”says Stuart Phillips—the leader of the study.“Milk may be best known for its calcium (钙) content in supporting bone health,but our research,and later others’,can continually support milk’s ability to aid in muscle growth and also promote body fat loss. Milk is the ideal postworkout drink for recreational exercisers and athletes alike.”

AFruit juice.

Bthe weightlifting program which study participants attended was 84 days in total
Cpeople who drink milk every day are always healthier and thinner than others
Dsoy beverages are better than carbohydrate beverages for exercisers to gain muscle
答案：
296-4 What does Philips want to tell us?
AMore evidence is needed to strengthen their research.
BMilk has more calcium than soy or carbohydrate beverages.

31阅读理解七(对应以下7-1至7-5)
Give yourself a test. Which way is the wind blowing? How many kinds of wildflowers can be seen from your front door? If your awareness is as sharp as it could be, you’ll have no trouble answering these questions.
Most of us observed much more as children than we do as adults. A child’s day is filled with fascination, newness and wonder. Curiosity gave us all a natural awareness. But distinctions that were sharp to us as children become unclear; we are numb(麻木的)to new stimulation(刺激),new ideas. Relearning the art of seeing the world around us is quite simple, although it takes practice and requires breaking some bad habits.
The first step in awakening senses is to stop predicting what we are going to see and feel before it occurs. This blocks awareness. One chilly night when I was hiking in the Rocky Mountains with some students, I mentioned that we were going to cross a mountain stream. The students began complaining about how cold it would be. We reached the stream, and they unwillingly walked ahead. They were almost knee-deep when they realized it was a hot spring. Later they all admitted they’d felt cold water at first.
Another block to awareness is the obsession(痴迷) many of us have with naming things. I saw bird watchers who spotted a bird, immediately looked it up in field guides, and said, a “ruby-crowned kinglet” and checked it off. They no longer paid attention to the bird and never learned what it was doing.
The pressures of “time” and “destination” are further blocks to awareness. I encountered many hikers who were headed to a distant camp-ground with just enough time to get there before dark. It seldom occurred to them to wander a bit, to take a moment to see what’s around them. I asked them what they’d seen.“ Oh, a few birds,” they said. They seemed bent on their destinations.
Nature seems to unfold to people who watch and wait. Next time you take a walk, no matter where it is, take in all the sights, sounds and sensations. Wander in this frame of mind and you will open a new dimension to your life.
7-1 According to Paragraph 2,compared with adults, children are more_____.
Aanxious to do wonders
Bsensitive to others’ feelings
Clikely to develop unpleasant habits
Deager to explore the world around them
答案：
327-2 What idea does the author convey in Paragraph 3?
ATo avoid jumping to conclusions.
BTo stop complaining all the time.
CTo follow the teacher’s advice.
DTo admit mistakes honestly.
答案：
337-3 The bird watchers’ behavior shows that they______.
Aare very patient in their observation
Bare really fascinated by nature
Ccare only about the names of birds
Dquestion the accuracy of the field guides
答案：
347-4 Why do the hikers take no notice of the surroundings during the journey?
AThe natural beauty isn’t attractive to them.
BThey focus on arriving at the camp in time.
CThe forest in the dark is dangerous for them.
DThey are keen to see rare birds at the destination.
答案：
357-5 In the passage, the author intends to tell us we should______.
Afill our senses to feel the wonders of the world
Bget rid of some bad habits in our daily life
Copen our mind to new things and ideas
Dtry our best to protect nature
答案：
36阅读理解八(对应以下8-1至8-5)
When I was 17,I read a magazine article about a museum called the McNay, once the home of a watercolorist named Marian McNay. She had requested the community to turn it into a museum upon her death. On a sunny Saturday, Sally and I drove over to the museum. She asked,“ Do you have the address? ”“No, but I’ll recognize it, there was a picture in the magazine.”
“Oh, stop. There it is!”
The museum was free. We entered, excited. A group of people sitting in the hall stopped talking and stared at us.
“May I help you?” a man asked.“ No,” I said.“ We’re fine.” Tour guides got on my nerves. What if they talked a long time about a painting you weren’t that interested in? Sally had gone upstairs. The people in the hall seemed very nosy(爱窥探的),keeping their eyes on me with curiosity. What was their problem? I saw some nice sculptures in one room. Suddenly I sensed a man standing behind me.“ Where do you think you are?” he asked. I turned sharply.“ The McNay Art Museum!” He smiled, shaking his head.“ Sorry, the McNay is on New Braunfels Street.” “What’s this place?” I asked, still confused.“ Well, it’s our home.” My heart jolted(震颤).I raced to the staircase and called out,“ Sally! Come down immediately! ”
“There’s some really good stuff(艺术作品)up there.” She stepped down, looking confused. I pushed her toward the front door, waving at the family,saying,“Sorry, please forgive us, you have a really nice place.” Outside, when I told Sally what happened, she covered her mouth, laughing. She couldn’t believe how long they let us look around without saying anything.
The real McNay was splendid, but we felt nervous the whole time we were there. Van Gogh, Picasso. This time, we stayed together, in case anything else unusual happened.
Thirty years later, a woman approached me in a public place.“ Excuse me, did you ever enter a residence, long ago, thinking it was the McNay Museum?”
“Yes. But how do you know? We never told anyone.”
“That was my home. I was a teenager sitting in the hall. Before you came over, I never realized what a beautiful place I lived in. I never felt lucky before. You thought it was a museum. My feelings about my home changed after that. I’ve always wanted to thank you.”

答案：
388-3 How did the author feel about being stared at by the people in the hall?

答案：
