题型:不详难度:来源:

People are overweight for many reasons, the most important one of which is that they eat the wrong foods, get the wrong types of calories per meal, and they also eat meals at the wrong time each day. Food is more powerful than any weight loss pill, because the food that you eat can either make you thin or fat. This is true because your body is like an engine, and it only needs certain foods at certain intervals(间隔)each day.
Low-calorie Diets Do Not Work 
The reason people cannot lose weight by starving themselves is that their metabolism(新陈代谢)will detect any major drop in calories and it will then adjust(调整)itself by burning fewer calories each day. That is the reason why you can eat 1,000 calories per day and not lose any weight, while your friends can eat 2,500 calories per day and not gain any weight.
Low-fat Diets Do Not Work
Many people in today’s society are buying mostly low- fat or non-fat food at the grocery store. Everybody knows how much fat is inside the food they buy. However, people are getting fatter than ever before by doing this. They are not losing weight by changing to this low-fat lifestyle.
Losing weight has nothing to do with these things. One of the most important things you can do to control your weight is to eat the proper foods, such as fruit and vegetables, eat them at the right time, and exercise every day. If people make this a habit, they will lose weight.
68. What is the main reason why people are overweight according to the author?
A. They eat the wrong foods at the wrong time.
B. They eat food with lots of calories.
C. They don’t take any weight loss pills.
D. They burn many calories every day.
69. The article is written in order to _______.
A. tell readers not to buy low-fat or non-fat food
B. tell readers how to lose weight
C. tell readers about an important scientific discovery
D. call on people to lose weight and stay healthy

a. do exercise every day      
b. eat meals at the right time
c. eat fruits and vegetables   
d. eat low-fat or sweet food

PART FOUR  WRITING
SECTION A
Directions: Read the following passage.Complete the diagram by using the information from the passage.
Write NO MORE THAN THREE WORDS for each answer.
The Chilean earthquake, measuring 8.8-magnitude, which struck early Saturday morning, released 500 times the energy of the 7.0-magnitude quake that hit Haiti (海地)last month, a geophysicist told CBS’ “The Early Show”.Tsunami warnings were issued for much of the Pacific, including Hawaii, following the quake that struck near the Chilean coast.
"When the earthquake occurred, it moved the land and then it moved the water causing the tsunami," said U.S.Geological Survey geophysicist Jessica Sigala."And the coastal areas of Chile have already noticed the wave heights up to about 7 feet."
Sigala said Hawaiians can expect to see the waves from this tsunami around 11:20 a.m.local time (about 4:20 p.m.ET)."So we have to wait and see how big the waves will be."
"It"s not so much the height [of the wave] but it"s the width, it"s how long it lasts, and then it"s also the speed at which it"s traveling," said co-anchor Kelly Cobiella."Correct me if I"m wrong, but these waves are traveling at the speed of a jetliner, about 500 miles per hour?"
"That"s correct.It"s a big block of water coming onto the land," Sigala said.
Chile has also experienced several aftershocks following the quake.
"Aftershocks are definitely another concern," said Sigala."We always see aftershocks with a large quake and a shallow quake.Unfortunately, this one was both.And as of right now, we"ve located about maybe 15 aftershocks and those are of the larger kind.I"m sure they felt much more than that.
"A shallow earthquake just means that it happened pretty close to the surface," said Sigala."And because of that the energy is really close to the surface, where all the buildings and people are."
50 deaths caused by aftershocks have been reported, according to the national emergency agency, adding the estimated casualties to 960.
Title: Concerns after     71

Below are several excerpts(节选)from the travel diary kept by Ann,one of the students from Canada.
I am representing Canada. I feel lucky to have won a place on this trip.Tomorrow we are visiting Pompeii. Next week we are flying to Loulan,in China. 48  Pompeii and Loulan became lost civilizations. The city of Pompeii was founded in the 8th century. Near the city  49  a volcano called Vesuvius.Unfortunately ,all the people were buried  50  by the volcano , and  51  was the city. When I walked around the city, I saw streets just they had been.It’s hard to imagine how this quiet volcano destroyed the city. In July, after several days of travelling we arrived in Loulan, a small,wealty commercial city which  52  between the East and the West almost 2,000 years ago.100years ago the Swedish exporer Sven Hedin discovered the ruins of the Loulan Kingdom gradually covered by sandstorms.When we went to the city, we found the ruins most interesting. There was an ancient water system  53  ran through the middle of the city. The desert was once a green land  54  enormous trees, but even that didn’t prevent the city from  55  buried by sand---what a pity!
