NEW YORK (Reuters Life!) —Parents wanting their children,particularly teenagers,to develop good eating habits should make sure they eat meals together,a new study suggests.
In one of the first long-term studies to look at the benefits of family meals,researchers at the School of Public Health at the University of Minnesota found that family meals have a great influence on adolescents (青少年) because they encourage healthy eating habits and good nutritional (营养的) choices.The study was published in the Journal of Nutrition Education and Behavior.
“These findings suggest that having regular family meals from early to middle adolescence has a marked beneficial effect on the development of healthful behaviors for youth,” said Teri L．Burgess-Champoux,who worked on the study.
“The importance of shared mealtime experiences during this key developmental period should be emphasized (强调) to parents,healthcare providers and educators.”
The researchers examined information from Project EAT,a study that looked at which socio-environmental,personal,and behavioral factors (因素) influence the eating habits of nearly 400 children.
The students completed a questionnaire (问卷) in 1998 and 1999 when they were 12 to 13 years old and another as middle adolescents five years later.
Regular family meals (five or more meals with all or most of the family per week) declined over time,the researchers said.
During the early teen years,60 percent of the children had regular meals with their family,compared to 30 percent during later adolescence.
Children who ate five or more meals a week together in both early and middle adolescence ate healthier meals with plenty of vegetables and foods rich in calcium, fiber and minerals.
21. In the study, the researchers have examined the relationship between________.
2
A．nutrition and eating habits B．healthy meals and fitness
C．family meals and eating habits D．family meals and teens’ health 22．The researchers suggest that parents should________. A．encourage their children to communicate with the family B．try to let their children eat often with the family
C．pay more attention to their children’s personal development D．give their children more advice on how to stay fit
23．From the passage we learn that regular family meals________. A．give children chances to express themselves B．let parents know more about their children C．help children to have healthier food D．encourage children to eat more food
24．What does the underlined word “declined” in Paragraph 7 most probably mean? A．Became less. B．Grew quickly. C．Changed very little. D．Appeared suddenly.

Hidden in a small street in the south end of Springfield,not far from buildings torn apart by the tornado earlier this year,Frigo’s is an Italian restaurant right in our own backyard.
Frigo’s is not a tiny place.It provides different kinds of Italian food.There are refrigerator cases full of prepared foods and desserts,and shelves filled with olives and various pasta.
There’s some traditional Italian music and the smell is of olive oil and garlic (大蒜)．Above the largest refrigerator case,there’s a chalk board covered with descriptions of more Italian sandwiches than I could remember.
I stepped into Frigo’s almost by accident when I had to stay in Springfield into the evening for an open house at the school where I work. Frigo’s is the perfect place to find something quick to go.There are no tables,so all food is taken out.I also thought it would be a great place to pick up some already-prepared food to bring home for dinner.
I ordered the easiest meal possible：a chicken sandwich and a salad.It cost $4.75 for the sandwich.The salad was $4.99 and didn’t have salad dressing on it.I must have missed the choice of salad dressing on the way out.The sandwich was great—great chicken,excellent tomato sauce and not too much cheese.
I wish I had tried one of the many other sandwiches which include Joe’s Favorite ($5.25～$6.75) and the Dante (King) which is made of turkey breast, roasted red peppers, asiago cheese and choice of dressing.
I have a feeling that I’ll be picking up dinner for me and the kids at Frigo’s soon. 25．Who would be most likely to go to eat at Frigo’s? A．People who want to eat quietly in a nice restaurant. B．People who want to enjoy home-made food. C．People who like traditional American food. D．People who are fond of Italian food.
26．Which of the following cannot be seen at Frigo’s? A．A chalk board covered with descriptions of sandwiches. B．Refrigerator cases full of prepared foods and desserts. C．Shelves filled with olives and different kinds of pasta. D．Customers eating happily around tables.
27．How much did the writer pay for his first meal at Frigo’s? A．$4.75. B．$5.25. C．$9.74 D．$4.99.

On a warm August day in 1807,a large crowd of people lined the banks of the Hudson River.They had been told they would see the first trip of a boat without sails.And the skeptics were laughing at the strange-looking boat,and making fun of the idea that it could move without sails.But

soon smoke began to pour from the stack (大烟囱) and the noises changed to cheers.
Robert Fulton didn’t begin as an inventor; very few men ever do.He liked painting when he was little and wanted to be an artist like Benjamin West, who was a great American painter. So, at seventeen, Fulton went to Philadelphia to study painting.Soon he became well-known for painting persons and scenes. He could also make excellent drawings of machines,bridges and buildings.
When he was twenty-one, his doctor advised him to go abroad for his health, so he took this opportunity to join his old friend Benjamin West in England.West helped him a lot with painting skills.But as time went on he found himself more and more interested in mechanical (机械的) projects. He once built the submarine (潜艇) Nautilus in order to end wars. It caught the eye of Robert Livingston, who had built several unsuccessful steamboats in America. At that time Robert Livingston was working in France.
Livingston and Fulton became close friends and in 1804 built a steamboat model, but the engine (引擎) was so heavy that it quickly sank to the bottom of the River Seine in France. It was later raised and after many changes it worked fairly well. The two men were surer that a successful working steamboat could be made.
Livingston convinced Fulton to return to the United States.The skill of Fulton and the confidence of Livingston are some of the reasons why on that August day in 1807 the noises turned to cheers when the boat steamed up the Hudson.
28．The underlined word “skeptics” in Paragraph 1 means people who usually________. A．speak their minds B．look down on inventors C．have a doubtful attitude D．don’t pay attention to science 29．We can infer from Paragraph 1 that________. A．the boat ran on oil B．the boat’s first trip was successful C．most people had seen the boat before D．most people were interested in the boat 30．Robert Fulton went abroad to________. A．improve his painting skills B．carry out mechanical projects C．join his friend Benjamin West D．improve the condition of his body 31．According to Paragraph 4, the steamboat model________. A．had been improved many times B．destroyed Fulton’s confidence C．was built in America D．was a total failure
32．Which of the following is the correct order of the events happening to Robert Fulton? a．went abroad b．built Nautilus c．studied painting d．built a steamboat model e．became friends with Robert Livingston A．a－c－e－d－b B．c－e－a－d－b C．c－a－b－e－d D．a－b－e－c－d

Of all the planets, none has captured the world’s imagination like Mars. Its reddish color and changes in brightness over time make the planet an unforgettable sight.
In Cosmos, the television science series from the 1980s, scientist Carl Sagan talked about some traditional ideas about Mars.Some of these ideas are from the English science fiction writer H.G.Well’s The War of the Worlds. Others are from the mistaken science of Percival Lowell, the American astronomer who believed intelligent beings lived on Mars. Wells described Martians as threatening. Lowell imagined them as the hopeful engineers of great works.Carl Sagan said that both ideas influenced the public deeply.
Today, Mars continues to excite humans—not as the object of science fiction but of scientific study. Space scientists have collected a wealth of information from spacecrafts that have orbited, landed on and dug into the Martian surface.
The Smithsonian’s “Mars Day” offered a chance for people of all ages to touch Mars,

or at least a piece of it. Allison and Alycia from Silver Spring, Maryland, brought their children, Grace, Sam, Ryan and Emma. They heard about Mars and its geology from experts. They could see a test version of the Viking landers that reached Mars in July of 1976. They also saw meteorites (陨星) known to have come from the red, or reddish planet. Eight-year-old Sam learned that the ancient description of Mars as red is not exactly right.He said, “It’s actually orangish more than red and it’s also kind of brown, too.” Emma is six. She learned about the volcanic activity that has shaped the surface of Mars. She said, “The closest thing to Mars —the stuff—is from volcanoes mostly.”
“Mars Day” offered Allison and Alycia’s children a chance to learn more about a world that they are very likely to set foot on within their lifetimes.
33．Sam would probably agree that________. A．Mars is not really red
B．no meteorites have come from Mars
C．Mars cannot be described as a little brown
D．the ancient description of Mars’ color is true
34．What is the writer’s attitude toward the idea that humans will set foot on Mars? A．He thinks it may happen in this year. B．He thinks it will always remain a dream.
C．He thinks it will come true within hundreds of years. D．He thinks it may happen in the following decades.
35．The Smithsonian’s “Mars Day” might NOT offer people a chance to________. A．learn about the surface of Mars
B．see a test version of some Viking landers C．see meteorites known to have come from Mars
D．sit in a spacecraft to experience the life of an astronaut 第二节 信息匹配(共5小题；每小题2分, 满分10分)

Trust is a learned behavior that we gain from past experiences. 36 Trust is a risk. But you can’t be successful when there’s a lack of trust in a relationship that results from an action where the wrongdoer takes no responsibility to fix the mistake.
Unfortunately, we’ve all been victims of betrayal. Whether we’ve been stolen from, lied to, misled, or cheated on, there are different levels of losing trust. Sometimes people simply can’t trust anymore. 37 It’s understandable, but if you’re willing to build trust in a relationship again, we have some steps you can take to get you there.
● 38 Having confidence in yourself will help you make better choices because you can see what the best outcome would be for your well-being.
● 39 If you’ve been betrayed, you are the victim of your circumstance. But there’s a difference between being a victim and living with a “victim mentality”. At some point in all of our lives, we’ll have our trust tested or violated.
●You didn’t lose“everything”. Once trust is lost, what is left? Instead of looking at the situation from this hopeless angle,look at everything you still have and be thankful for all of the good in your life. 40 Instead, it’s a healthy way to work through the experience to allow room for positive growth and forgiveness. A. Learn to really trust yourself.
B. It is putting confidence in someone. C. Stop regarding yourself as the victim.
D. Remember that you can expect the best in return.
E. Seeing the positive side of things doesn’t mean you’re ignoring what happened. F. This knowledge carries over in their attitude toward their future relationships. G. They’ve been too badly hurt and they can’t bear to let it happen again. 第三部分 英语知识运用（共两节, 满分30分）
