At Centennial Lane, the principal said some parents have complained about the school’s new policy, and others have adapted by bringing in nonfood treats—such as rulers or erasers.
Jake Balcom said he missed bringing treats to school. But he wasn’t too bothered by their absence because he had celebrated his birthday with friends. They went to see the movie “Wallace & Gromit: The Curse of the Were-Rabbit” and shared his birthday cake at his house.
1. What is Jake Balcom’s reaction to his gifts for his 11-year-old birthday from his school ?
A. He felt puzzled by the gifts quite different from the former ones.
B. He almost felt the same as before because he had celebrated his birthday with friends.
C. He preferred chocolate chip cookies, birthday cake, ice cream than pencils and cards.
D. He would rather have a birthday party than a handshake from the principal. 答案解析：答案为B。本题为细节推理题。由第四段 “Jake just smiled, and went back to class.”和最后一段 “But he wasn’t too bothered by their absence because he had celebrated his birthday with friends.” 可知，答案为B。
2. The underlined phrase “kiddy bulge” (in Paragraph 6 ) means “______”. A. parents’ gifts
B. childrne’s parties D. children’s exercises
C. kids’ overweight
答案解析：答案为C。本题为词义推测题。结合该词所在的下文 “?that encourage students to be more active and eat more healthfully. Some schools in Virginia have started exercise clubs. In Maryland, schools are cracking down on vending-machine junk food.” 和下一段的首句 “?the proportion of overweight children ages 6 to 11 ?.” 可知，答案为C。
3. Which of the following is TURE according to the passage?
- 5 -
A. Parents all agree that the fight against childhood obesity is going too far. B.According to CDCP, the proportion of overweight children has had a tendency of increasing.
C. For this year’s Halloween party, kids can enjoy what they like as usual. D. Jake Balcom is a primary school pupil in fourth grade.
答案解析：答案为B。本题为细节题。由倒数第三段的数据 “?from 7 percent in 1980 to 16 percent in 2002. Among 12 to 19-year-olds, the rate of obesity more than tripled, from 5 percent to 16 percent...” 可知，肥胖儿童的比例已经呈现增长趋势，故答案B正确。
由第五段 “? to take the battle against childhood obesity to one of education’s most beloved functions: the school party. But some are worried that the fight is going one step too far—and taking some of the fun out of being a kid.” 可知，选项A错误。由第二段 “That means no more cupcakes, brownies, chocolate chip cookies, birthday cake, ice cream, Rice Krispies treats or pizza. Instead, Jake got a handshake from Principal Robert Bruce and a colorful pencil and a card.” 可知，选项C错误。由第二段首句 “Back in the day—like, before fifth grade —Jake’s parents would bring cupcakes to school in his honor.” 可推理，五年级之前的四年级，父母会带cupcakes到学校，可见Jake Balcom现在应该是五年级的学生了。故选项D错误。

One of the most debated issues about alcohol consumption has been the consistent finding that those who don't drink tend to die sooner than those who do.The standard Alcoholics Anonymous explanation for this finding is this：many of those who give up alcohol are actually former hard-core drunks who had already brought health problems associated with drinking.
But a new paper suggests that abstaining(戒除)from alcohol does tend to increase one's risk of dying，even when you leave former problem drinkers out.The most shocking part—abstainers'(禁酒者)mortality rates(死亡率)are higher than those of heavy drinkers.
Moderate(适度的)drinking，which is defined as one to three drinks per day，is associated with the lowest mortality rates.Moderate alcohol use is thought to improve heart health，circulation and sociability，which can be important because people who are cut off don't have as many family members and friends who can notice and help treat health problems.
But why would abstaining from alcohol lead to a shorter life？It's true that those who abstain from alcohol tend to be from lower socioeconomic classes，since drinking can be expensive.And people of lower socioeconomic status have more life stressors(压力因素)．
Though heavy drinking is associated with higher risk for many diseases，
heavy_drinkers_are_less_likely_to_die_than_don't_drink.One important reason is that alcohol strengthens social interactions，and social interactions are vital for maintaining mental and physical health.Nondrinkers show greater signs of depression. The authors of the new paper are careful to note that even if drinking is associated with a longer life，it can be dangerous：it can affect your memory severely and it can lead to falls and other troubles that can affect your life.There's also the dependency issue：if you become addicted to alcohol，you may spend a long time trying to get off the bottle.
16．What can we know from the Alcoholics Anonymous explanation and the new paper? A．The former finds that abstainers can live longer than heavy drinkers. B．The former finds that nondrinkers can live longer than heavy drinkers.
- 7 -
C．The latter finds that healthy abstainers can live shorter than heavy drinkers. D．The latter finds that nondrinkers can live shorter than heavy drinkers. 答案 C [细节推理题。由文章第二段的第一句话“即使不算那些之前喝酒后来戒酒的人，不喝酒也确实会导致死亡率升高”可知，C项正确。]
17．Which of the following is the benefit of moderate drinking? A．It helps blood circulation.
B．It helps remove people's life stressors. C．It reduces people's association with friends. D．It can save a lot of money.
答案 A [细节理解题。根据文章第三段第二句中的“improve heart health，circulation and sociability”可知，A项正确。]
18．What does the underlined sentence (in Para.5)mean? A．Heavy drinkers can live longer if they give up drinking.
B．Heavy drinkers can live longer even if they don't give up drinking.
C．The mortality rate of heavy drinkers is lower if they don't give up drinking. D．The mortality rate of heavy drinkers will be lower if they give up drinking. 答案 C [句意理解题。该句前面说“尽管重度酗酒者犯很多病的几率很大”，该句接下来的两句是对画线句子的解释，“最重要的原因是饮酒可以加强社交联系，这有助于人们的身心健康。因此不喝酒的人更易抑郁。”由此可推断本句的意思是“重度饮酒者不戒酒时死亡率低。”故选C。]
19．It can be learned from the last paragraph that ________. A．the authors of the new paper support drinking
B．people should start drinking if wanting to live longer C．many people doubt whether drinking is good for health or not D．drinking can do harm to people's life
答案 D [推理判断题。文章最后一段提到尽管喝酒能够让人长寿，但是喝酒也会给人带来一些危害，“it can be dangerous”是中心词，因此D项正确。]
