healthful，most health experts agree.But apparently not everyone is on the same page.A general practitioner from Scotland says that health advice is “thoroughly debunked nonsense” and is propagated by bottled water companies out to make a profit.In a commentary published online in the British Medical Journal，Margaret McCartney quotes experts that say drinking too much water can cause hyponatremia(low sodium levels in the blood)and expose people to pollutants.Experts were quick to pounce on the commentary as being misleading.The article hadnt been peerreviewed，pointed out Thomas Sanders，a professor from Kings College London.Sanders wrote in a reply on the BMJ website：“Appropriate hydration is particularly important for the elderly and the very young and for most people it is better to obtain most fluid intake from water，whether bottled or tap water，than from other beverages.”MacCartney focused on the more whacky(不同尋常的)claims made for water and appeared to cherry pick her references to make a story.While the headlines duke it out，its worth offering as refresherhow much water do we need every day？The answer isnt cut and dry，says an article by the Mayo Clinic，and depends on your exercise level，health conditions and the heat and humidity of your environment.In general，the Institute of Medicine recommends about nine cups of beverages for women and 13 cups for men.The Mayo Clinic offers another way to assess if youre getting enough H2O：“If you drink enough fluid so that you rarely feel thirsty and produce 1.5 liters(6.3 cups)or more of colorless of slightly yellow urine a day，your fluid intake is probably adequate.”The issue of too much water surfaces among athletes，especially marathon runners.Hyponatremia(低鈉血癥)is a real concern when replacing the water lost during sweatingtoo much water，and the salt imbalance in the body can cause cells to swell with water，which is particularly dangerous for brain cells.Hyponatremia symptoms include confusion，nausea(惡心)and convulsions，according to MedlinePlus.It can also occur in the elderly and hospitalized patients.Some 3.2 to 6.1 million patients get hyponatremia each year，and the condition is associated with congestive heart failure and cancer.【解題導(dǎo)語】 本文是一篇科普文章：每天喝六到八杯水是健康的，大多數(shù)健康專家都認(rèn)同這一點(diǎn)。但很明顯的是，這并不適合所有人。16The underlined word “propagate” in the first paragraph refers to

against答案A猜測詞意題。根據(jù)前文可知：每天喝六到八杯水是健康的，大多數(shù)健康專家都認(rèn)同這一點(diǎn)。但很明顯的是，這并不適合所有人。由此可知下文意思是：蘇格蘭的一位全科醫(yī)師說這條健康建議“完全是胡說八道”，瓶裝水公司對(duì)其進(jìn)行大肆宣傳以牟利。故畫線部分的意思為宣傳，正確答案為A。17Thomas Sanders considered it important for people to get fluid intake _.Afrom beer Bfrom beveragesCfrom fruit juice Dfrom water答案D細(xì)節(jié)理解題。根據(jù)文章第二段最后一句可知：適量的水合物對(duì)于上了年紀(jì)的人和年輕人來說特別重要，大多數(shù)人最好從水中不管是瓶裝水還是自來水而不是其他飲料中獲得大部分液體攝取，故正確答案為D。18According to Mayo Clinic，the consumption of water relies least on _.Athe heat and humidityBhealth conditionsCexercise levelDthe height of people答案D細(xì)節(jié)理解題。根據(jù)文章第三段結(jié)尾可知：答案不是一刀切，這取決于你的鍛煉水平、健康狀況和你所處環(huán)境的濕熱度。故正確答案為D。19According to Institute of Medicine，women should drink _.Athe same amount water as menBa little more water than menCmore than twothirds of mens amountDonly half mens water amount答案C細(xì)節(jié)理解題。根據(jù)第四段首句In general，the Institute of Medicine recommends about nine cups of beverages for women and 13 cups for men.可知：一般說來，醫(yī)學(xué)研究所推薦女性每天喝9杯飲料，男性喝13杯飲料。由此可知正確答案為C。20It can be inferred that Hyponatremia symptoms usually occurred to _.Amarathon runners，the elderly and doctors in hospitalBthe elderly，patients in hospital and marathon runnersCdash runners，the elderly and patients in hospitalDmarathon runners，the teenage and patients in hospital答案B細(xì)節(jié)理解題。最后一段談到：運(yùn)動(dòng)員，尤其是馬拉松運(yùn)動(dòng)員要喝更多水這個(gè)問題浮出水面。當(dāng)出汗過程中替代水的流失喝更多水時(shí)，低鈉血癥是一個(gè)真實(shí)的焦慮，身體內(nèi)的鹽平衡能導(dǎo)致細(xì)胞和水一起膨脹，這對(duì)于腦細(xì)胞來說尤其危險(xiǎn)。根據(jù)MedlinePlus的信息，低鈉血癥的癥狀包括意識(shí)混亂、反胃和抽搐。它也會(huì)發(fā)生在上了年紀(jì)的人和住院的病人身上。由此可知正確答案為B。BWe all know that money cant buy happiness，but many times we act as if we were happier with a bit more money.We are conditioned to want to be rich(when we know the rich arent happy either)；we are trained to want the latest gadget or style that television tells us to want；we want to earn more money because then well have a good life.But none of them will bring us happiness.No matter how much we earn，no matter how much we have in the bank，no matter how nice our clothing or cars or toys，none of them will make us happier.And the sad thing is that it could take us decades to pursue wealth and luxurious items before we realize this.So what will bring us happiness？Luckily，its these three things that dont cost a thing.These three things have been proven by surveys of hundreds of thousands of people about what they have，what their lives are like，and how happy they are.Here they are，the Three Secrets to Happiness：1Good relationships.We have a human need to be close to and to be intimate with other human beings.Having good and supportive friendships，a strong marriage or close and loving relationships with our family members will make us much more likely to be happy.Action steps：Take time，today，to spend time with your loved ones，to tell them what they mean to you，to listen to them，and to develop your relationships with them.2Positive thinking.Im obviously a big proponent of positive thinking as the best way to achieve your goals，and it turns out that it can lead to happiness too.Optimism and selfesteem are some of the best indicators of people who lead happy lives.Happy people feel empowered，take control of their lives，and have a positive outlook on life. Action steps：Make positive thinking a habit.In fact，this should be one of the first habits you develop.Get into the habit of squashing all negative thoughts and replacing them with positive ones.Instead of “I cant”think “I can”It may sound silly，but it works for me，every time.3Flow.This is a popular concept on the Internet these daysa state we enter when we are completely focused on the work or task before us.We are so buried in our task that we lose track of time.Having work and leisure that get you in this state of flow will almost undoubtedly lead to happiness.People find greatest enjoyment not when theyre passively mindless，but when theyre absorbed in a mindful challenge.Action steps：Find work that you have a passion for.Seriouslythis is an extremely important step.Find hobbies that you have a passion for.Turn off the TVthis is the opposite of flowand go outside and do something that truly engages you.Youve been given the Three Secrets to Happiness.Dont waste them!【解題導(dǎo)語】 本文是一篇議論文。作者闡述了金錢和財(cái)富不會(huì)給人們帶來幸福的觀點(diǎn)，同時(shí)就如何得到幸福這個(gè)問題給我們提供了三個(gè)秘訣。21Which of the follwing is the most proper title of this passage?AThe Secrets to Happiness BWhat is happiness?CMoney vs Happiness DWho are happy?答案A標(biāo)題歸納題。本文第三段中的第一句“So what will bring us happiness？”已點(diǎn)明了主題，最后一段中的“Youve been given the Three Secrets to Happiness.”又再次點(diǎn)明主題。故選A。22The writer expresses his _ attitude towards money and wealth.Anegative BsupportiveCobjective Drespective答案A作者態(tài)度推斷題。根據(jù)第一段和第二段的內(nèi)容可知，作者認(rèn)為金錢和財(cái)富不會(huì)給我們帶來幸福，更糟糕的是，往往是在追求金錢和財(cái)富幾十年后我們才認(rèn)識(shí)到這一點(diǎn)。A項(xiàng)“否定的”符合題意。23Which of the following doesnt belong to the advice given by the writer?ABeing engaged in what you are interested in.BHaving good relationships with others.CWatching TV.DBeing optimistic about your life.答案C細(xì)節(jié)理解題。A、B和D項(xiàng)與作者給出的三條忠告正好相符，C項(xiàng)是作者不贊成做的。故選C。24The underlined word“squashing” can be replaced by “_”Aremoving Bscolding Crepairing Dreducing答案A詞義猜測題。根據(jù)這一段的意思可知，作者勸我們養(yǎng)成積極思考的習(xí)慣，摒棄消極的態(tài)度，故squashing的意思應(yīng)該是“removing”。25The writer talks about happiness by means of _ in this passage.Aopinions and adviceBfacts and comparisonsCexamples and analysisDobservations and conclusions答案A文章結(jié)構(gòu)題。在第一段和第二段中，作者闡明了金錢和財(cái)富不會(huì)帶來幸福的觀點(diǎn)，然后又給我們提供了三個(gè)能給我們帶來幸福的方法，故A項(xiàng)是最佳答案。寫作素材集錦單詞1supportive支持的，給予幫助的2selfesteem自尊短語1be conditioned to do sth習(xí)慣于做某事2be buried in專心致志于某事3lose track of與失去聯(lián)系句子1No matter how much we earn，no matter how much we have in the bank，no matter how nice our clothing or cars or toys，none of them will make us happier.不管我們掙多少錢，不管我們?cè)阢y行存多少錢，不管我們的穿著、汽車或者玩具有多么漂亮，它們都不能使我們更加幸福。2Luckily，its these three things that dont cost a thing.幸運(yùn)的是，正是這三件事情，不會(huì)讓你花一分錢。9
