PART THREE READING COMPREHENSION (共15小题;每小题 2分,满分30分)

Directions: Read the following three passages. Each passage is followed by several questions or unfinished

statements. For each of them there are four choices marked A, B, C and D. Choose the one that fits best according

to the information given in the passage.

A

With school out and hot weather in, it’s not unusual for youngsters to gather around the refrigerator or the

television rather than take part in active play. Such habits may be relaxing but can wreck a healthy lifestyle, say

specialists at Texas Children’s Hospital.

“For some kids, the state of feeling bored triggers(引发)eating,” says Jennifer Thomas, a doctor at Texas

Children’s Hospital in Houston, Texas. “A child can pick up 5 to 10 pounds over the course of a summer, so it’s

important to recognize the difference between boredom(无聊)and hunger.”

Because children may be adjusting(适应)to lack of routine, adding some structure to their daily schedules can

help. “For example, instead of letting kids eat while they watch television, permit eating only in the kitchen with

the television turned off,” says Thomas. “This way can help determine if they are really hungry or just bored.”

If hunger causes a snack attack, nutritious snacks should be available(可得到的)and easy to reach, says

Thomas. She suggests two or more servings of fruit and three or more servings of vegetables as a reasonable(合情

理的)daily goal. Thomas says, “Fresh or frozen fruit is better than fruit juice. Fresh or frozen vegetables are better

because canned vegetables usually contain salt.”

3 / 7

In general, kids should avoid snacks with high sugar content, says Thomas. “More importantly, if a sugary

snack takes the place of healthier food, the child is not getting the nutrition he or she needs. High-fat food tends to

make a child feel worried, while eating foods that are naturally lower in fat will make it easier for kids to feel more

energetic and stay on the go.”

51. What can help to stop children from eating because of boredom?

A. Giving them a daily schedule. B. Giving them a lot of snacks.

C. Preventing them from watching TV. D. Making them eat a lot of fruits.

52. What kind of snacks should we give children?

A. Fruit juice. B. Frozen fruit. C. Canned vegetables. D. Snacks rich in sugar.

53. Foods that are naturally lower in fat are necessary for children because _______.

A. they help children lose weight B. they help children get necessary nutrition

C. they stop children from getting bored D. they make children active and energetic

54. We can infer from the text that _______.

A. it’s hard to tell the difference between boredom and hunger

B. children may get bored for lack of routine in summer

C. we should limit children’s eating while they’re watching TV

D. nutritious snacks should be available at any time

55. The underlined word “wreck” in Paragraph 1 probably means“_______”.

A. improve B. change C. ruin D. include

B

When you walk into a room on the 17th floor of Copenhagen’s Bella Sky Hotel, you’ll be greeted by soft roses

and other fresh flowers, fruits, fashion magazines, and a bathroom with beauty products. This is Europe’s first hotel

floor dedicated(专用的)entirely to women—and according to the hotel’s CEO Arne Bang Mikkelsen, it is

designed by women, for women.

“Women’s hotel preferences(偏爱)are very different from men’s with key priorities(优先考虑的事)being

to feel safe and comfortable. When men come into a hotel room, the first thing they do is check the view, turn on

the TV, plug in their computer, and check out the fridge. Women, on the other hand, go straight to the bathroom.

Does it smell nice? Is it clean? Does it have a nice bathtub and shower?”

Unlike other hotels, it seemed like someone actually thought about what women wanted. To get it right, the

hotel asked a number of women what they wanted, and added to their list of things like cleanliness, a nice bathroom,

high-powered hairdryers, steam irons, cosmetic mirrors, healthy choices on the room service menus, and full-body

mirrors.

It seems that they are helped by the boom(繁荣)in female business travelers. Global numbers are hard to get,

but a research report shows women account for about half of all business travelers in the US in , up from

approximately 25% in 1991.

Places like the Naumi Hotel in Singapore, the Premier Hotel in New York, the London Dukes Hotel and the

Georgian Court Hotel in Vancouver seem to be realizing the possibility in catering(迎合)for women.

At the London Dukes Hotel, the manager says bookings(预订)for their “Duchess Rooms”,which are standard

rooms with fresh flowers, fruit, and styling things, have increased 25% over the past year.

56. We can learn from the text that Bella Sky Hotel _______.

A. is the first hotel designed for women B. offers special service to women guests

C. has a big garden with all kinds of flowers D. can arrange rooms according to guests’ wishes

57. Paragraph 2 mainly wants to tell us _______.

A. men are wiser in choosing hotels B. guests usually care about comfort most

C. women differ from men in judging a hotel D. hotels have difficulty satisfying each guest

58. What can we learn from the text?

A. Men guests usually don’t care about hotels’ cleanliness.

B. Living in a hotel, women guests may consider their safety.

C. Women business travelers spend more than men in hotels.
