第二部分 阅读理解（共20小题；每小题2分, 满分40分） 第一节（共15小题；每小题2分，满分30分）
阅读下列短文，从每题所给的四个选项（A、B、C和D）中，选出最佳选项，并在答题卡上将该项涂黑。
A
Myth: If you cut your hair, it will grow long faster.
Truth: That’s not true. “Your hair isn’t like a lawn or a rosebush, where cutting can stimulate fresh growth,” says Phillip Kingsley. The length of your hair is genetically determined. When it reaches a certain length, it stops growing. When you clear up the dead split ends, this make your hair look healthier, but not necessarily longer.
Myth: If you skip meals, you lose weight fast.
Truth: There’s no truth in this advice. Not only will you not lose weight by starving yourself, but according to Carol Ann Rinzler, this may actually cause you to gain weight. Rinzler reasons that missing a meal causes your metabolism(新陈代谢) to slow down so that you burn food more slowly. This only makes you feel hungrier and by the time you finally do reach the table you will probably eat more food. Strange as it may seem, studies show that eating several small meals and snacks throughout the day is a more healthy way to lose pounds.
Myth: If you swallow gum，it will stay inside your stomach for seven years.
Truth: Actually, it takes just a few days for gum to make its exit---not seven years, says NeiIzenberg, M. D., editor of Kids Health Organization. But because gum is made of the same thing as rubber, it cannot be fully digested in your stomach--- so if you gum up the works on a regular basis, you might find yourself in a sticky situation.
Myth: The best way to stop a nosebleed is to lift your head back.
Truth: Now that’s bad advice. Bloody noses are caused by broken blood vessels, so while lifting your head back might stop the fluid from rushing out of your nose, it won’t stop the bleeding; you’ll just end up swallowing lots of blood. Your best bet “Rest quietly. Don’t poke or pick, and the blood will naturally clot (凝结成块) within a minute or two”, suggests Dr. Izenberg. 21. The length of your hair is determined by ________. A. cutting it often C. the food you eat
B. your gene
D. clearing up the dead split ends.
22. According to Carol Ann Rinzler, skipping meals will __________. A. help you lose weight fast C. cause you to become fatter
B. help you lose weight slowly
D. make you burning food more quickly
23. Which of the following statements is NOT true according to the passage? A. Gum cannot be fully digested in the stomach.
B. Gum can stay inside your stomach for seven years if you swallow it. C. Gum can leave your stomach after you swallow in a few days later. D. If you often swallow gum, you might find yourself in a sticky situation 【答案】 21.B 22.C 23.B
23. B细节理解题。根据文章 Actually, it takes just a few days for gum to make its exit---not seven years, says NeiIzenberg, M. D., editor of Kids Health Organization.可知吞咽口香糖之后，在胃里待七年的说法是错误的，故答案为B。 考点：考察科教类阅读 【名师点睛】 关于细节理解题
用细节定位法：细节理解题属直接解答性问题，是阅读理解题中最简单的一种，多数属中低难度的送分题。但由于高考所占的比例很大，应特别引起注意。事实和细节题的特点是：把某词语、某个句子或某具体事实用不同于原文的另一方式或句型表达，即同义改写。解答这类题的窍门是：A)注意掌握英语的多种表达法；B)正确分析词语在句中的作用；C)熟练运用英语的句型转换；D)读懂题干所提出的问题，并准确地找到文中涉及该问题的句子。 比如文章第21题，就需要快速定位在文章的第一段内容The length of your hair is genetically determined.你头发的长度由基因决定的。很明显答案为B。比如文章第22题，根据第二段Not only will you not lose weight by starving yourself, but according to Carol Ann Rinzler, this may actually cause you to gain weight.根据Carol Ann Rinzler，不吃饭不仅不会让你减肥，事实上可能导致你体重增加。可知答案C正确。KS5U B
Papa’s jaw dropped when Mama told him that Sister had cheated on her final exams—not to succeed but to fail. “It’s unbelievable!” he said. “Sister has always been so proud of her good grades!”
“Yes, she has,” said Mama. “But it’s not unbelievable. It just shows how badly she wanted off the swimming team.”
“Wanted off the swimming team?” said Papa. “She never said anything about that to me.” “Of course she didn’t,” said Mama. “She was afraid you’d blow your top. You already had her getting a swimming scholarship to college and winning gold medals at the Olympics. Can you
