AHis father was his first teacher BEmmas death was a big blow to him C He married Emma immediately they met DHe divorced Emma because of different tastes in literature52According to the passage,A Pair of Blue Eyes was AThomas Hardys best-known novel Bonce refused by many publishing houses CThomas Hardys sweet memory of his marriage life Dwritten in a house designed by Thomas Hardy himself 53Whats the passage mainly about？ AThomas Hardy and his wife BThomas Hardy and his novels CThomas Hardys unhappy family Life DThomas Hardys hard way to successB Scientists have confirmed that the majority of overweight people who try to lose weight either by cutting calories or exercising will return to their former sizeFewer than 10 percent of the l2 million British people who go on a diet each year succeed in losing significant amounts of weight and most of those who do put it all back on again within a year The study of 25,000 people provides further evidence of the popularity ofyo-yo dietingwhere slimmers get into a cycle of losing weight and regaining itThe scientists，from the Medical Research Councils National Survey of Health and Development,have concluded it is better to avoid getting fat in the first placeThey followed 5,362 men and women from their birth in l946 and 20，000 from birth in l958，measuring their weight and blood pressure and assessing their lifestylesThe researchers found both groups began gaining weight in the 1980s and have steadily increased in size ever since文档为个人收集整理，来源于网络 Dr Rebecca Hardy,the councils programme leader on body size，said：“0nce people become， overweight，they continue extremely upwardsThey hardly ever go back downA（印刷不清两个单词） weight but very few get back to normal。The best policy is to prevent people becoming overweightFor men weight goes up steadily through life.For women it starts slowly and accelerates in the mid-thirties” But the studys findings do not mean dieting is pointless，as eating less and taking more exercise can increase fitness and lower blood pressureIn 2009,a quarter of adults and l4 percent of children were obese(过度肥胖的),according to the Department of Healths latest Health Survey for EnglandAlthough previous research has shown one in four Britons is trying to lose weight at any one time，it has been predicted that 60 percent of us will be obese by 2050，leading to even more cases of diabetes（糖尿病），heart disease and cancerExperts said we are programmed to put on weight rather than lose itDieting can make this tendency worse as decreasing calorie intake causes the body to go into starvation mode and reduce the amount of energy it naturally expends,making it even harder to lose weightCommenting on the study，Professor Nick Finer from London Hospital,said：“It is unlikely that man would have progressed with mechanisms to fight against obesity which has only become a problem in the last 3040 yearsFor most of human history,storing fat would have been an advantage”本文为互联网收集，请勿用作商业用途 54According to Dr Rebecca Hardy，which of the following is TRUE？ AIt is easier for men to lose weight than women BOnce people lose weight，they never put on weight again CNever to become fat is the best way of keeping a good shape DThe fact that fat people keep their weight upwards is unusual 55The author says “the studys findings do not mean dieting is pointless because Athe study lacks believable facts Bobese people are confident in losing weight Cdieting can really make a few people lose weight Ddieting and sports help to keep people free from some diseases 56From the last paragraph，we can learn that Adecreasing calorie intake makes it even harder to lose weight Bthe idea that people lose weight with mechanisms is practical Cbeing overweight is a lasting problem through the human history Dby 2050 more and more people will have got unfit because of losing weight 57Which of the following can serve as the best title of the passage？ AWhich is better：cutting calories or exercisin97 BFat people cant really keep the weight off CA new study on peoples health DHow to go on a healthy dietC Writers who are responsible but inexperienced often write with a great deal of self-conscious effortWorrying constantly. they inch ahead word by word. When they have finally reached the end of the piece，they breathe a sigh of reliefThey have done their best Before they start to write，experienced writers generally think very hard about their audience and their purposeThey devote time to setting out the structure of the piece and perhaps to focusing a bit on their first few sentencesBut once having solved these problems，these writers do not fastidiously（挑剔地）choose their words like Cherries from a treeRather，they let them fall upon the page as if their orders were previously arranged Most writers want and need the situation of shaking the tree and letting the fruit fall
