　　二、閱讀理解

　　(2024·新課標全國卷Ⅱ)

　　Your house may have an effect on your figure. Experts say the way you design your home could play a role in whether you pack on the pounds or keep them off. You can make your environment work for you instead of against you. Here are some ways to turn your home into part of your diet plan.

　　Open the curtains and turn up the lights. Dark environments are more likely to encourage overeating, for people are often less self-conscious (難為情) when they're in poorly lit places—and so more likely to eat lots of food. If your home doesn't have enough window light, get more lamps and flood the place with brightness.

　　Mind the colors. Research suggests warm colors fuel our appetites. In one study, people who ate meals in a blue room consumed 33 percent less than those in a yellow or red room. Warm colors like yellow make food appear more appetizing, while cold colors make us feel less hungry. So when it's time to repaint, go blue.

　　Don't forget the clock—or the radio. People who eat slowly tend to consume about 70 fewer calories (卡路里) per meal than those who rush through their meals. Begin keeping track of the time, and try to make dinner last at least 30 minutes. And while you're at it, actually sit down to eat. If you need some help slowing down, turn on relaxing music. It makes you less likely to rush through a meal.

　　Downsize the dishes. Big serving bowls and plates can easily make us fat. We eat about 22 percent more when using a 12-inch plate instead of a 10-inch plate. When we choose a large spoon over a smaller one, total intake (攝入) jumps by 14 percent. And we'll pour about 30 percent more liquid into a short, wide glass than a tall, skinny glass.

　　語篇解讀　這是一篇科普性說明文。最新研究表明，房屋的窗簾、燈光設計、墻壁顏色、餐具大小等都會影響食欲和食量，進而影響節食效果和身材。

　　1．The text is especially helpful for those who care about ________.

　　A. their home comforts

　　B. their body shape

　　C. house buying

　　D. healthy diets

　　答案與解析　B　考查推理判斷。依據第一段中的“Your house may have an effect on your figure...whether you pack on the pounds or keep them off”，再結合該段最后一句“Here are some ways to turn your home into part of your diet plan”可知，B項正確。

　　2．A home environment in blue can help people ________.

　　A. digest food better

　　B. reduce food intake

　　C. burn more calories

　　D. regain their appetites

　　答案與解析　B　考查細節理解。依據第三段第三句“In one study, people who ate meals in a blue room consumed 33 percent less than those in a yellow or red room”可知，在藍色環境中人們的食量會減少33%，因此身處藍色的環境中有助于減少食量。

　　3．What are people advised to do at mealtimes?

　　A. Eat quickly.

　　B. Play fast music.

　　C. Use smaller spoons.

　　D. Turn down the lights.

　　答案與解析　C　考查推理判斷。依據第四段的內容可知，吃飯吃得快的話會吃得多，因此為了幫助減緩吃飯的速度，吃飯時可播放舒緩音樂，排除A、B項；D項與第二段首句的內容相矛盾；依據第五段的內容可知，使用小型的餐具有助于減少食物攝入量。故選C。

　　4．What can be a suitable title for the text?

　　A. Is Your House Making You Fat?

　　B. Ways of Serving Dinner

　　C. Effects of Self-Consciousness

　　D. Is Your Home Environment Relaxing?

　　答案與解析　A　考查標題判斷。本文主要講的是房屋的窗簾、燈光設計、墻壁顏色、餐具大小等方面均會影響食欲和食量，進而影響節食效果和身材，故A項“你的房屋在使你發胖嗎？”作文章標題最佳。

　　三、完形填空

　　“What's wrong？”I asked with __16__.

　　“This is the best part of my story, but all you could say was that I needed a __17__ here. I，I...”

　　答案與解析　

　　語篇解讀　作者通過講述自己和學生Naomi之間的一件事來告訴我們，老師應該多給予學生一些肯定和鼓勵。

　　1．D　Naomi的首篇故事由一些簡單的(simple)句子組成，但經過這一學年的學習，她的寫作(writing)技能開始提高。根據該空后半部分可知，開始時Naomi的寫作簡單。complex“復雜的”，good“好的”，vivid“生動的”，simple“簡單的”，故選D項。

　　2．C　參見上題解析。

　　3．C　盡管學生的最后的大的寫作任務是具有挑戰性的(challenging)。該句是由though引導的讓步狀語從句，前后形成轉折和對比，主句說她還是在周五早晨交上了作文。

　　4．B　“我”告訴她那天下午我們將仔細檢查(go over)這篇作文以便于她能在周末定稿。refer to“涉及”；go over“仔細檢查”；look up“查閱”；argue about“爭論”。故選B項。

　　5．D　那天下午，當她大聲地朗讀她的故事時，“我”感到意外的是她的作品中流露出許多自己的個性。be thankful for“對……感到欣慰”，be ashamed of“對……感到慚愧”，be nervous about“擔憂的”，be surprised at“對……感到意外”，故選D項。

　　6．C　此外(Additionally)，在“我”沒有任何提醒的情況下，Naomi自己發現了一些拼寫錯誤。undoubtedly“確實”；deliberately“故意”；additionally“此外”；fortunately“幸運地”。

　　7．B　在“我”沒有任何提醒的情況下。report“報道”；reminder“提醒人的事物”；answer“答案”；explanation“解釋”。

　　8．D　她的聲音變得更高，與此同時(meanwhile)，節奏也加快了。故D項正確。

　　9．A　“Naomi，在這里(停一下)”，“我”打斷她。interrupt“打斷”，inform“通知，知會”，fear“害怕”，hesitate“猶豫”，故選A項。

　　10．B　你需要放一個句號在“Prayer”后而不是(instead of)逗號。more than“超出，多于”；instead of“而不是”；ahead of“在……前面”；less than“少于”。故選B項。

　　11．C　Naomi停了下來，盯著她的文章幾秒鐘。show off“炫耀”，throw away“扔掉”；stare at“盯著看”；look into“調查”。故選C項。

　　12．D　Naomi擦掉逗號，用一個句號替換。replace“用……替換”，符合語境，故選D項。

　　13．C　然而(however)，她就一直盯著她的文章而不繼續閱讀。therefore“因此”；besides“除……之外(還)”；however“然而”；otherwise“否則”。故選C項。

　　14．C　Naomi再次閱讀，但此刻她的聲音(voice)有些低沉、生硬。

　　15．B　突然，“我”發現淚水從她的臉頰流下，她開始抽噎。laugh“笑”；sob“抽噎”；doubt“懷疑”；complain“抱怨”。故選B項。

　　16．D　“出什么事了？”“我”關心地問。care“關心”，符合語境，故選D項。

　　17．A　這是“我”文中最好的部分，但你卻說此處需要一個句號(period)。period“句號”；title“題目”；draft“草稿”；comma“逗號”。故選A項。

　　18．C　這是“我”的錯，“我”怎么能這么粗心大意(thoughtless)？helpless“無助的”；meaningless“無意義的”；thoughtless“粗心大意的”；worthless“沒用的”。故選C項。

　　19．C　“我”只是告訴她需要校正什么。fix“校正”，符合語境，故選C項。

　　20．A　Naomi給了“我”一次“我”永遠不會忘記的教訓(lesson)。
