Foods to Eat to Burn More Calories
WATERMELON
Watermelon is brimming with B vitamins which boost your energy levels and curb your need to munch on an
extra snack. A cup of diced watermelon contains 46 calories and virtually no fat. Watermelon is a rich source of
potassium, dietary fiber, protein, vitamin A, magnesium, vitamin C, and iron.
Watermelon is one of powerful foods to eat to burn more calories. Watermelon is also high in lycopene, the
antioxidant that lower your risk of macular degeneration, heart disease, and cancer. With 90 percent water,
watermelon is filling you up but are not filling you out. Enjoy fresh watermelon juice, smoothie, or use it any
summer fruit salad you like.
GRAPEFRUIT
Grapefruits speed up your metabolism and help burn a lot of calories. This fruit will help feel full faster and
longer. According to the U. S. Department of Agriculture National Nutrient Database, one half of a grapefruit
contains around 53 calories. Moreover, grapefruit is rich in fiber that may help stabilize your blood glucose levels.
You can add grapefruit to your fruit salad, smoothies or drink a grapefruit juice.
CELERY
The secret of celery is very simple： it contains less calories and helps burn more than you eat. Celery mostly
consists of water and that's why it is good as a part of a balanced diet
However, this food is not suitable for celery diet only as your body won't get the necessary minerals and
湖北省普通高中学业水平合格性考试模拟卷（二）
nutrients. So the best decision will be to combine it with some other foods.
WHOLE GRAINS
Studies show that whole grains are healthier than refined grains and that they lower the risk of getting a
chronic disease. This type of grains is also a good part of a diet as it takes more time to digest and you won't get
hungry for a longer period of time. Whole grains are rich in various vitamins, minerals and carbohydrates but low
in fat.
GREEN TEA
Rich in antioxidants green tea boosts your metabolism and helps lose weight, which is just fantastic for ladies,
isn't it? Simply enjoy a cup of hot fragrant green tea and do a great favor to your body.
1. To balance blood glucose levels, you'd better take in regularly.
A. green tea B. whole grains
C. watermelon D. grapefruit
2. From the passage we can know that _______.
A. grapefruit contains more calories than watermelon.
B. whole grains are healthier because they contain more water and various minerals.
C. both grapefruit and green tea can help speed up metabolism for those who are eager to lose weight.
D. having celery diet before a cup of green tea can help get enough nutrients to lose weight.
3. Which column can we read this passage in the newspaper?
A. Book Review B. Health
C. Entertainment D. Learning Kit
B 篇
Recently, a group of scientists decided to find out what the funniest joke in the world was. This was obviously
a difficult task, as no two people really agree about what is funny and what is not—especially when they are from
different countries.
Here is the joke which the experts decided was the funniest joke in the world：
Two hunters were out in the woods. One of them fell to the ground. He didn’t seem to be breathing; his eyes
were closed. The other hunter took out his mobile phone and called the emergency services.
“My friend is dead!” he cried to the operator. “What can I do？”The operator said，“Don’t worry. First, make
sure he’s dead.” There was a silence, and then a shot was heard. Bang! The hunter’s voice came back on the line.
湖北省普通高中学业水平合格性考试模拟卷（二）
He said, “OK, now what?”
This is perhaps amusing. Culturally, it depends on us knowing that often hunters are not considered to be very
intelligent people, and that often they are quite violent. But perhaps this is not so all over the world. It’s also quite a
“black” joke—a joke about something which isn’t really a funny subject. The experts also found the second
funniest joke in the world. Here it is：
Sherlock Holmes and Dr. Watson went on a camping trip. After dinner, they went to sleep. Some hours later,
Holmes woke up. “Watson, look up at the sky and tell me what you see.” “I see millions of stars, Holmes,” replied
Watson.
“And what do you infer from that? ”
“Well, there are billions of stars ... we are a small part of the universe ...”
“Watson, you idiot!” he said. “Someone has stolen our tent!” I personally think this is better.
Can scientists in the end decide what is funny? Some things are much too complicated, even for scientists.
4. What can we learn from the first paragraph?
A. Few jokes can make scientists laugh.
B. Only scientists can find out the funniest joke.
C. There are different jokes in different countries.
D. People hold different opinions about what is funny.
5. What does the author think of the first joke?
A. It is not so funny as the experts thought.
B. It is really the funniest joke he has ever heard.
C. It can greatly affect readers’ attitudes toward hunters.
D. It shows that not all hunters are brave and intelligent.
6. We can learn that a person’s understanding of a joke can be affected by .
A. the reader’s feeling B. the length of the joke
C. the reader’s cultural background D. the language that the teller uses
7. Which of the following is the best title for this passage?
A. Uninteresting jokes B. Different kinds of jokes
C. The funniest jokes in the world
D. Tips on how to make others laugh

C 篇
You’ve likely noticed them by now. School buses are back on the street packed with students. Many of those
kids step off the buses with a potential health danger over their shoulder — a backpack filled with homework.
My family and I never talked about school as the ticket to a future. I was in the classrooms, but I wasn’t there
to learn to write, read or even speak. When it was my turn to read, I wanted to hide. I was 13 years old, but I
already hated being who I was.
I had an English teacher, Mr. Creech, who knew I couldn’t read. In one of my first lessons the teacher said that
anyone who had a reading age below six had to stand up. I felt so embarrassed. But at the same time, it made me
realize that I needed to change the situation. I was determined it wouldn’t happen again. Later that day, Mr. Creech
encouraged me and promised he would try his best to help me learn to read. From then on, I never gave up
practicing reading.
Now I was 41 years old. One day, I planned to fly back to Texas to visit my friends and family. On my way
from the airport, I saw Mr. Creech buying himself a drink. I rushed over and reached into my pocket to pay for him.
“Do I know you?” he asked. “Yes, sir, you do know me,” I answered excitedly. “My name is Anthony Hamilton.
You taught me English.” The look on his face told me that he remembered the boy he’d once encouraged.
“I’m so glad I had a chance to see you,” I said. “And Mr. Creech, I have great news to share.” I told him I had
learned to read. But that wasn’t all. I had become a published author and an active speaker. “The next time you get
another Anthony Hamilton in your classroom, please encourage him to read as well,” I added.
The experts say what once worried me has a name: dyslexia (诵读困难症). But I can tell you it was a lack of
desire for education.
8. Why did the author want to hide?
A. Because he felt sorry for himself.
B. Because he hated being laughed at.
C. Because he couldn’t read at all. D. Because he didn’t have a ticket.
9. Which of the following could best describe Mr. Creech?
A. Considerate and dutiful. B. Demanding and enthusiastic.
C. Emotional and dedicated. D. Friendly and ambitious.
10. Why couldn’t the author read before meeting Mr.Creech?
A. Because his reading age was not long enough.
湖北省普通高中学业水平合格性考试模拟卷（二）
B. Because his parents didn’t teach him how to read.
C. Because he was afraid of reading before the class.
D. Because he didn’t have inner driving force to learn to read.
11. What can we infer from the passage?
A. Mr. Creech taught two students called Anthony Hamilton.
B. The author had become a published author and an active speaker.
C. Dyslexia was the underlying reason that made the author unable to read.
D. The author was grateful to Mr. Creech.
D 篇
The invention of steel frames in the late 1800s meant that the walls did not carry the weight of a structure. This
development meant that suddenly much taller buildings were possible, and they could be built quickly. Skyscrapers
had been born, and they were about to change the face of our cities.
Since 1901 the world’s tallest building had always been a skyscraper and until 1974 this was always in New
York. Only after the end of the century did the tallest building appear outside North America, with the opening of
the first building to be more than half a kilometer tall, Taipei 101.
Tall building are seen as a symbol of success and status by many but they are not always popular with local
residents. The construction of the Shard, the tallest building in London and in the entire European Union, has been
highly controver-
sial. It is only a few hundred meters across the River Thames from the Tower of London--one of the oldest and
most famous landmarks in London.Many feel that such modern constructions should not be built near to historic
sites.
London residents should hope that the opening of the Shard doesn’t lead to a major downtown in their
economy. The Empire State Building was finished in 1931, very soon after Wall Street crashed. The Petronas
Towers in Kuala Lumpur were built in 1988, just after the Asian financial crisis. The Burj Khalifa in Dubai was
opened in early 2010, and shortly afterwards the emirate’s（酋长国的）investment company collapsed.
The Burj Khalifa might be the tallest structure in the world currently but its status is under threat from
numerous planned buildings around the world. One tower which will probably never be built is the 4km high
X-Seed 4000 in Tokyo.
It was designed in 1995 to attract publicity rather than as a serious proposal, but who knows when such
湖北省普通高中学业水平合格性考试模拟卷（二）
fanciful ideas could become a reality? The Burj Khalifa is more that double the height of the Empire State Building,
and surely no one in 1931 would have imagined that.
12. What make the building of skyscrapers possible?
A. The using of the steel frames.
B. The improvement of the wall material.
C. The changing of the city face. D. 'The increase of the building height.
13. What is most Londoners' attitude towards the construction of the Shard?
A. Supportive. B. Uncooperative. C. Acceptable. D. Critical.
14. How is paragraph 4 developed?
A. By analyzing possible reasons. B. By stating general characters.
C. By providing typical examples. D. By listing practical proposals.
15. What is the best title for the text?
A. Skyscrapers: symbol of success B. Skyscrapers: ideal buildings
C. The sky's fanciful ideas and reality D. The sky's the limit

【解析】本文是一篇说明文，介绍了世界上很多国家为了追求大楼的高度而争相建造摩天大楼，但这并没
有带来经济的繁荣。
湖北省普通高中学业水平合格性考试模拟卷（二）
【12 题详解】A 细节理解题。根据第一段中的“The invention of steel frames in the late 1800s meant that the walls
did not carry the weight of a structure. This development meant that suddenly much taller buildings were possible,
and they could be built quickly. Skyscrapers had been born”可知，19 世纪晚期钢架的发明意味着墙不能承载结
构的重量，这一发展意味着更高的建筑成为可能，而且它们可以很快建成，摩天大楼就此诞生了，由此可
知，钢架的使用使建造摩天大楼成为可能，故 A 项正确。
【13 题详解】D 推理判断题。根据第三段中的“The construction of the Shard, the tallest building in London and
in the entire European Union, has been highly controversial. It is only a few hundred meters across the River
Thames from the Tower of London--one of the oldest and most famous landmarks in London.Many feel that such
modern constructions should not be built near to historic sites.”可知，夏德大厦是伦敦乃至整个欧盟最高的建筑，
其建造一直备受争议，伦敦塔是伦敦最古老、最著名的地标之一，许多人认为这样的现代建筑不应该建在
历史遗址附近，由此可知，大多数伦敦人对夏德大厦的建造持批评的态度，故 D 项正确。
【14 题详解】C 推理判断题。根据第四段中的“The Empire State Building was finished in 1931, very soon after
Wall Street crashed. The Petronas Towers in Kuala Lumpur were built in 1988, just after the Asian financial crisis.
The Burj Khalifa in Dubai was opened in early 2010, and shortly afterwards the emirate’s（酋长国的）investment
company collapsed.”可知，1931 年，在华尔街崩盘后不久，帝国大厦竣工；吉隆坡的双子塔建于 1988 年，
就在亚洲金融危机之后；迪拜的哈利法塔在 2010 年初开放，不久之后，迪拜的投资公司倒闭，本段用这三
个典型例子证明夏德大厦的开放不会给伦敦带来经济的繁荣，故 C 项正确。
【15 题详解】D 主旨大意题。通读全文，特别是根据最后一段中的“The Burj Khalifa might be the tallest structure
in the world currently but its status is under threat from numerous planned buildings around the world.”可知，迪拜
的哈利法塔可能是目前世界上最高的建筑，但它的地位正受到来自世界各地众多已经规划的建筑的威胁，
由此可知，本文主要介绍的是世界上很多国家为了追求大楼的高度而争相建造摩天大楼（但这并没有带来
经济的繁荣），故 D 项（天空才是极限）适合作文章标题。
7 选 5 阅读【答案】16. F；17. G；18. C；19. E；20. B；
【解析】这是一篇说明文。文章主要描述了如何选择把植物作为礼物的建议。
【16 题详解】F 结合填空处所处的情境及下文给出的送植物做礼物的建议，可以看出此处是作为承上启下
的作用。所以要总说引出下文的建议的句子。故选 F 项。
湖北省普通高中学业水平合格性考试模拟卷（二）
【17 题详解】G 前文讲到，如果你朋友家阳光明媚，那多肉植物就说得通了。后文讲到兰花生长在潮湿的
森林中。可以得出此处讲的是环境潮湿的一种情况。结合选项看，只有 G 符合题意。故选 G 项。
【18 题详解】C 本句为段落的中心句，由后文讲到在挑选植物礼物时，向销售人员询问更多信息，以确保
你选择的礼物与最终的结果相匹配。可以看出，买植物做礼物之前了解关于该植物的信息是必要的。对比
选项可以看出，只有 C 项符合题意。故选 C 项。
【19 题详解】 E 由后文：If their leaves dry up,they’re not getting enough water.If they’re reaching their leaves
toward the light,they may need more of it.可以看出，植物是否需要浇水和阳光，通过观察植物本身的特点就可
以得出。所以，前面的句子应该是对这两句做总说。结合选项，只有 E 项符合。故选 E 项。
【20 题详解】B 通过前一个句子：You don’t need to wrap it,as a simple bow is enough.你不需要把它包起来，
一个简单的蝴蝶结就足够了，讲的是送植物为礼物的简单方式，后一句It’s a way to ensure your gift gets a good
start in life.这是一种确保你的天赋，在生活中有个好的开始的方法。讲的也是方法，所以空白处讲的同样是
一种方式，对比答案发现只有 B 项符合题意。故选 B 项。
【名师点睛】
在答题中，应首先略读一下短文，了解一下短文的大致意思，然后把几个选项含义理解透，尤其注意
意思相近，表达有交叉的选项之间的区别。然后再细读短文，把答案填入合适位置。答题时可以把含义相
近的几个选项轮流填入同一处位置，反复阅读，反复体会，找出最佳选项，对于实在没有把握的小题可以
留待最后完成。完成短文后，再认真通读一遍全文，看看上下语意是否通顺，是否符合逻辑关系。

42. shorten； 43. using；44. them； 45. to receive；
【解析】这是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍了北京大兴国际机场的开幕以及里面的科技设备——面部识别等
信息。
【36 题详解】考查副词。根据后面的动词“opened”可知，此处应用副词修饰动词 opened。故填 formally。
【37 题详解】考查介词。be listed as 是固定短语，意为“被列为，被记录”。故填 as。
【38 题详解】考查动词和主谓一致。分析句子可知，前面有非谓语动词 consisting，该句缺少谓语动词，且
主语“The new airport complex”是单数，所以此处应用 covers。故填 covers。
【39 题详解】考查冠词。分析句子可知，此处泛指“一次旅行”，且 journey 的读音是以辅音音素开头，所以
用不定冠词 a。故填 a。
【40 题详解】考查主语从句。分析句子可知，该句中谓语动词 is 前面的是主语，所以空处引导主语从句，
且在从句中作主语，所以应用 what 引导。故填 What。

故填 has set。
【42 题详解】考查动词。助动词 can 后接动词原形，所以此处应有动词形式 shorten。故填 shorten。
【43 题详解】考查非谓语动词。分析句子结构可知，此处应用非谓语动词，动词 use 与其逻辑主语 travelers
之间是主动关系，应用现在分词。故填 using。
【44 题详解】考查代词。动词 relay 后接代词的宾格形式，所以此处用 them。故填 them。
【45 题详解】考查动词不定式。expect to do sth.是固定搭配，意为“期望做某事”。故填 to receive。
