解析
小题1:由句意可知：每二、四、六早饭之后，Dan Heins都要去医院做透析。所以这里指他的常规做法。routine常规，惯例。route固定线路；way方法，service服务.
小题1:由句中的时间上午6点到10点，和文中给出的after可以推测出，他是早饭之后去透析。
小题1:根据语境可知Dan是这里的常客，故作为老板娘的Nancy应该知道他的病因，而不是想象、推测等。
小题1:be responsible for表示“对……负责”。故句意为：糖尿病是造成Dan肾衰和切除一条腿的根源。
小题1:根据句意：Nancy为了还房贷和维持小店，不得不还打两份零工。Keep the café open表示“使得小店开门/维持下去”。
小题1:因为在小吃店叫饭，他不可能通知或大呼小叫的告诉别人，故排除A、D, smile与病中Dan的心情不符，故选B，murmur表示“低语”。
小题1:上文的“I’ll donate”和下文的While they were waiting for the transplant都表明Dan需要器官移植，故选 transplant表示“器官移植”；transfer表示“迁移, 移动”。
小题1:由上下文可知，Dan是小吃店的一个顾客，故排除B、C、D选项。A normal friend表示“普通朋友”。
小题1:根据下文Nancy花了几个星期才让他信以为真，可知起初Dan不相信这是真的。
小题1:考查动词的辨析。convince sb.that…/convince sb. of sth.表示“使……信服”。
小题1:经过一系列的测试，Nancy是肾脏相匹配的人。match表示“般配的人”。partner合作伙伴；companion同伴，伙伴；mate配偶, 同事.
小题1:.上文提及了找到了匹配的人，现在理应是等待接受移植，所以用wait for。
小题1:由下文可知Nancy的经济状况愈来愈糟糕，故选situation，表示“情景，状况”。position职位； profession职业； condition情况, 条件。
小题1:这是一个由though引导的倒装让步状语从句。当as, though引导让步状语从句时，从句倒装。（though可以用陈述语序）
小题1:由下文Nancy担心不能工作和人们的捐款，可推测出她的家境即将处于困境之中。
小题1: 根据句子的主语Dan"s insurance 可以排除A、B、C选项，因为他们需用人或表示人的名词做主语。cover表示“涵盖，支付”。
小题1:该动词的宾语是捐款箱，故应放到合适的位置，而不是现场制作，或平放、竖放。
小题1:上文的meet her housing loans 给该空提供了信息。
小题1: 因为是器官移植手术，需要双方动手术，故选A。surgery表示“外科手术”。而其他A、B、D表示“支持者；个性；生命”。
小题1:由于进行了肾移植，Dan终于摆脱了糖尿病的困扰。off表示“离开，远离”。
核心考点
试题【 Nancy Volk operated a sidewalk cafe in Anoka, Minnesota to support her family. 】；主要考察你对题材分类等知识点的理解。[详细]
举一反三
Your bedroom should be shaped to your taste and to allow you to sleep in a peaceful environment. One of the biggest mistakes people make in their sleep is to use their bedroom for activities other than sleep. If your bedroom also functions as a command station for your life and work, the likelihood of your sleeping being poor is rather high. Bedrooms should be designed, decorated and used for mainly sleep. TVs, computers and other things should not be in your bedroom if at all possible.
Establishing regular sleeping and waking times can help improve the quality of your sleep especially for those suffering from sleeplessness. Avoid hot food, caffeine, sugar and alcohol at least 4 to 6 hours before your sleep time. Develop a regular exercise program. Proper exercise and nutrition will help improve sleeping patterns. However, avoid exercising 2 hours before sleeping, since this may stimulate your body and make sleeping more difficult.
Establish a pre-bedtime rule that will help focus you on sleep. You can try meditation（沉思）,reading or deep breathing and relaxation. Your bedtime rule should be yours. Do not worry about it fitting into a specific category. Do what is the best for you.
Things such as room temperature, noise and light levels and even your bed mattress can have a lot of effect on the quality of sleep that you experience. Block out distracting noises and lights. You are in your bedroom to sleep and not be distracted by environmental interferences（干扰）.

When cartoon book characters like the Incredible Hulk get angry, they change colours and often gain special power. In the real world, anger is less obvious and may be more dangerous. That’s why Professor Fred Luskin, founder of the Stanford Forgiveness Project and author of Forgive for Good, says holding on to anger and hatred can harm your physical and mental health. Two new studies seem to show the same idea.
The studies find that people who are able to forgive feel less stress, less back pain, and less depression. They also have fewer headaches, lower blood pressure, and fewer problems on sleeping.
So it doesn’t matter if your anger is caused by the traffic or other things. Learning to let it go is important. Techniques such as deep breath or thought can help. Or just ask yourself if it’s worth hurting yourself by staying angry with someone else.
Forgiveness does not mean that you simply accept what happened and say it’s OK. Instead, it’s a way of making peace with yourself about what happened in the past.
小题1: The author of the passage tries to make his viewpoint clear ______.

| A．People who are able to forgive feel less stress. |
| B．People who are able to forgive feel less depression. |

| A．Forgiveness | B．Forgiveness Is Good for Health |
| C．A Secret to Keeping Health | D．Anger Is Bad for Health |
hree grams less a day would af
fect heart disease in the United States.The result: thirteen percent fewer heart attacks. Eight percent fewer strokes. Four percent fewer deaths. Eleven percent fewer new cases of heart disease. And two hundred forty billion dollars in health care savings.
Researchers found it could prevent one hundred thousand heart attacks and ninety-two thousand deaths every year.
The study is in the New England Journal of Medicine. Kirsten, at the University of California, was the lead author. She says people would not even notice a difference in taste with three grams, or one-half teaspoon, less salt per day. The team also included researchers at Stanford and Columbia University.
Each gram of salt contains four hundred milligrams of sodium, which is how foods may list their salt content.
The government says the average American man eats ten grams of salt a day. The American Heart Association advises no more than three grams for healthy people. It says salt in the American diet has increased fifty percent since the nineteen seventies, while blood pressures have also risen. Less salt can mean a lower blood pressure.
New York City Mayor Michael Bloomberg is leading an effort called the National Salt Reduction Initiative. The idea is to put pressure on food companies and restaurants.
Mayor Bloomberg has already succeeded in other areas, like requiring fast food places in the city to list calorie information. Now a study by the Seattle Children"s Research Institute shows how that idea can influence what parents order for their children.
Ninety-nine parents of three to six year olds took part. Half had McDonald"s menus clearly showing how many calories were in each food. The other half got menus without the calorie information.
小题1: How many heart attacks will occur in the US every year？
| A．nearly 800,000. | B．24,000. |
| C．100,000. | D．92,000. |
| A．Americans ate no more than 5 grams of salt per day in the 1970s |
| B．the American Heart Association suggest less than 3 grams of salt every day |
| C．a reduction in salt in the diet helps lower blood pressure |
| D．all the heart diseases result from eating more salt |
| A．advise Americans to eat less salt |
| B．put pressure on food companies and restaurants |
| C．require fast food places to list calorie information |
| D．attract the public attention to the problem |
| A．strokes | B．heart attacks |
| C．blood pressures | D．stomach diseases |
| A．Less salt can mean more life |
| B．Prevent heart attacks and deaths |
| C．The National Salt Reduction Initiative |
| D．Americans should eat less salt |
The five leading causes are bleeding, infection, high blood pressure, longtime labor and bad abortions (流产). Mothers" deaths from such causes were largely reduced nearly a century ago in developed countries.
Experts say that what kill many women are “the three delays”— the woman"s delay in deciding to go to the hospital, the time she loses traveling there and the hospital"s delay in starting treatment. Only about 15 percent of births have dangerous complications(并发症)．
Women lack education and information about birth control. Husbands and inlaws, may decide where a woman gives birth and insist that she stay at home to save money. However, there is no single solution to a problem with so many factors—shortages of doctors, nurses, drugs, equipment, roads and t
ransportation—though hospital officials are trying many things now.One stopgap measure to solve the problem for the present has been to train assistant medical officers, to perform certain operations. Some African countries
are now struggling to train more assistants and midwives (接生婆) , and provide places for pregnant women to stay near hospitals.But there is a long way to go. Only 20 percent of women in the continent give birth at the hospital. More than 50 percent stay at home to give birth, and the rest go to local clinics that cannot handle emergencies.
小题1:Which is not included in the five leading causes of women"s deaths during pregnancy and childbirth?
| A．Infection. | B．High blood pressure. |
| C．Traveling long distances. | D．Bleeding. |
| A．final | B．temporary | C．effective | D．instant |
| A．The governments of African countries have to take more effective measures to save pregnant women. |
| B．Developed countries should help African countries reduce mothers"deaths. |
| C．The husbands in poor countries should take responsibility for their wives"deaths. |
| D．Most problems that cause women"s deaths during pregnancy and childbirth can be treated or prevented. |
| A．Positive. | B．Negative. | C．Objective. | D．Subjective. |
The change will not affect the taste or the number of calories in the food. But by changing the cooking oil, McDonald’s says, it hopes to cut by nearly half the amount of trans fatty acids (转换脂肪酸) in French fries and reduce the amount of saturated fats(饱和脂肪) by 16 percent. Scientists believe that trans fatty acids and saturated fats raise cholesterol(胆固醇) levels and increase the risk of heart disease.
McDonald’s new step is important because McDonald’s is an industry leader and other fast-food chains and food processors may follow the lead.
For McDonald’s ,the action comes at a time when Americans are becoming more and more concerned about; obesity (肥胖) and are increasing pressure on food companies to offer healthy and nutritious (有营养的) food to consumers.
After three years of study, McDonald’s officials say they are switching oil that is lower in saturated fats and trans fatty acids. McDonald’s says the change will not cause higher price for consumers.
Though there is some change, scientists say that the amount of trans fat in foods at McDonald’s and at other fast-food companies is still important.
小题1:More than 13,000 McDonald’s restaurants in America will use a new kind of cooking oil to ______________.
| A．lower the costs of the products |
| B．maker its food taste hatter than ever before |
| C．cure (治愈) the heart disease |
| D．do good to the health of consumers |
| A．turning on | B．turning off | C．changing | D．studying |
| A．McDonald’s is a pioneer in food products |
| B．McDonald’s is enlarging its restaurants in the world |
| C．fried foods can’t keep up with the development of modem society |
| D．McDonald’s is to use new cooking oil |
| A．the prices of McDonald’s foods will be a tot higher |
| B．consumers will find the taste of McDonald’s foods different |
| C．many other food companies will do what McDonald’s does |
| D．obesity will disappear in American society sooner or later |
