A (2020·新高考卷Ⅰ·D)
According to a recent study in the Journal of Consumer Research,both the
size and consumption habits of our eating companions can influence our food
intake.And contrary to existing research that says you should avoid eating with
heavier people who order large portions,it's the beanpoles with big appetites
you really need to avoid.
To test the effect of social influence on eating habits,the researchers conducted
two experiments.In the first,95 undergraduate women were individually invited
into a lab to ostensibly ( 表 面 上 ) participate in a study about movie
viewership.Before the film began,each woman was asked to help herself to a
snack.An actor hired by the researchers grabbed her food first.In her natural state,
the actor weighed 105 pounds.But in half the cases she wore a specially designed
fat suit which increased her weight to 180 pounds.
Both the fat and thin versions of the actor took a large amount of food. The
participants followed suit,taking more food than they normally would have.
However,they took significantly more when the actor was thin.
For the second test,in one case the thin actor took two pieces of candy from
the snack bowls.In the other case,she took 30 pieces.The results were similar
to the first test:the participants followed suit but took significantly more candy
when the thin actor took 30 pieces.
The tests show that the social environment is extremely influential when we're
making decisions.If this fellow participant is going to eat more,so will I.Call
2/29
it the “I'll have what she's having” effect.However,we'll adjust the influence.If
an overweight person is having a large portion,I'll hold back a bit because I
see the results of his eating habits.But if a thin person eats a lot,I'll follow suit.If
he can eat much and keep slim,why can't I?
【语篇解读】 本文是一篇应用文,主要讲述了研究表明,与你一同进食的
同伴会影响你的饮食习惯,想要减肥的人应当避免同食量大的瘦人一起进食。
1.What is the recent study mainly about?
A.Food safety.
B.Movie viewership.
C.Consumer demand.
D.Eating behavior.
D [主旨大意题。通读全文可知,文章第一段为全文的主题段,即《消费
者研究杂志》最近的一项研究表明,我们的饮食同伴的体型和饮食习惯都会影响
我们的食物摄入量,而且要避免同食量大的瘦人一起进食。结合全文内容可知,
本文主要介绍了饮食行为,故 D 项正确。]
2.What does the underlined word “beanpoles” in Paragraph 1 refer to?
A.Big eaters.
B.Overweight persons.
C.Picky eaters.
D.Tall thin persons.
D [词义猜测题。根据第一段第二句“And contrary to existing research that
says you should avoid eating with heavier people who order large portions(份),
it's the beanpoles with big appetites you really need to avoid.”可知,研究表
明,与现有的研究发现(应该避免和食量大的胖人一起吃饭)相反,你真正需要避
开的是胃口大的又高又瘦的人。根据“contrary to”可知,画线词与 heavier people
含义相反,故 D 项正确。]
3.Why did the researchers hire the actor?
A.To see how she would affect the participants.
B.To test if the participants could recognize her.
C.To find out what she would do in the two tests.
3/29
D.To study why she could keep her weight down.
A [推理判断题。根据第二段中的“To test the effect of social influence on
eating habits,the researchers conducted two experiments.”可知,为了验证社交
对饮食习惯的影响,研究人员进行了两个实验;再结合下文介绍的两个实验可知,
聘用演员参加实验旨在查看演员对参加实验的人的饮食习惯的影响,故 A 项正
确。]
4.On what basis do we “adjust the influence” according to the last paragraph?
A.How hungry we are.
B.How slim we want to be.
C.How we perceive others.
D.How we feel about the food.
C [推理判断题。根据尾段中的“If this fellow participant is going to eat
more,so will I...because I see the results of his eating habits.”可知,如果这
个同伴打算吃得更多,我也会吃得更多;但是,我们将调整影响。如果一个超重
的人吃了很多,我会稍微保留一点,因为我看到了他饮食习惯的结果。据此可以
推知,我们对自己饮食的调整是以分析他人的饮食习惯和结果(即如何看待他人)
为基础的,故 C 项正确。]
B (2020·江苏卷·C)
For those who can stomach it,working out before breakfast may be more
beneficial for health than eating first,according to a study of meal timing and
physical activity.
Athletes and scientists have long known that meal timing affects
performance.However,far less has been known about how meal timing and exercise
might affect general health.
To find out,British scientists conducted a study.They first found 10 overweight
and inactive but otherwise healthy young men,whose lifestyles are,for better
and worse,representative of those of most of us.They tested the men's fitness
and resting metabolic (新陈代谢的) rates and took samples (样品) of their blood
and fat tissue.
Then,on two separate morning visits to the scientists' lab,each man walked
4/29
for an hour at an average speed that,in theory,should allow his body to rely
mainly on fat for fuel.Before one of these workouts,the men skipped breakfast,
meaning that they exercised on a completely empty stomach after a long overnight
fast(禁食).On the other occasion,they ate a rich morning meal about two hours
before they started walking.
Just before and an hour after each workout,the scientists took additional
samples of the men's blood and fat tissue.
Then they compared the samples.There were considerable differences.Most
obviously,the men displayed lower blood sugar levels at the start of their workouts
when they had skipped breakfast than when they had eaten.As a result,they burned
more fat during walks on an empty stomach than when they had eaten first.On the
other hand,they burned slightly more calories (卡路里),on average,during the
workout after breakfast than after fasting.
But it was the effects deep within the fat cells that may have been the most
significant,the researchers found.Multiple genes behaved differently,depending
on whether someone had eaten or not before walking.Many of these genes produce
proteins (蛋白质) that can improve blood sugar regulation and insulin (胰岛素)
levels throughout the body and so are associated with improved metabolic
health.These genes were much more active when the men had fasted before exercise
than when they had breakfasted.
The implication of these results is that to gain the greatest health benefits
from exercise,it may be wise to skip eating first.
【语篇解读】 本文是一篇说明文,主要说明了早饭前锻炼比早饭后锻炼给
身体带来的好处更多。
5.The underlined expression “stomach it” in Paragraph 1 most probably
means “______”.
A.digest the meal easily
B.manage without breakfast
C.decide wisely what to eat
D.eat whatever is offered
5/29
B [词义猜测题。此处考查 stomach 的熟词生义,该词在本句中意为“忍
受”;另外,结合常识可以判断,有的人锻炼前不吃早饭是受不了的,所以此处
意为“如果可以忍受空腹的话,在吃早餐前去锻炼比吃过早餐后去锻炼好处更
多”,故 B 项正确。]
6.Why were the 10 people chosen for the experiment?
A.Their lifestyles were typical of ordinary people.
B.Their lack of exercise led to overweight.
C.They could walk at an average speed.
D.They had slow metabolic rates.
A [细节理解题。根据第三段中的“10 overweight and inactive but otherwise
healthy young men,whose lifestyles are,for better and worse,representative of
those of most of us”可知,选中的这十个人就是大众的代表,故 A 项正确。]
7.What happened to those who ate breakfast before exercise?
A.They successfully lost weight.
B.They consumed a bit more calories.
C.They burned more fat on average.
D.They displayed higher insulin levels.
B [推理判断题。根据第六段中的“On the other hand,they burned slightly
more calories (卡路里),on average,during the workout after breakfast than after
fasting.”可知,锻炼前吃早餐的人相对而言在锻炼时燃烧的卡路里稍多一些,
故 B 项正确。]
8.What could be learned from the research?
A.A workout after breakfast improves gene performances.
B.Too many workouts often slow metabolic rates.
C.Lifestyle is not as important as morning exercise.
D.Physical exercise before breakfast is better for health.
D [推理判断题。根据最后一段中的“to gain the greatest health benefits from
exercise,it may be wise to skip eating first”可知,早饭前锻炼给身体带来的
健康方面的好处更多,故选 D。]

Is Fresh Air Really Good for You?
We all grew up hearing people tell us to “go out and get some fresh air.”
1 According to recent studies,the answer is a big YES,if the air quality in
your camping area is good.
2 If the air you're breathing is clean-which it would be if you're away
from the smog of cities-then the air is filled with lifegiving,energizing oxygen.If
you exercise out of doors,your body will learn to breathe more deeply,allowing
even more oxygen to get to your muscles(肌肉) and your brain.
Recently,people have begun studying the connection between the natural world
and healing(治愈). 3 In these places patients can go to be near nature during
their recovery.It turns out that just looking at green,growing things can reduce
stress,lower blood pressure,and put people into a better mood(情绪).Greenery
is good for us.Hospital patients who see tree branches out their window are likely
to recover at a faster rate than patients who see buildings or sky instead. 4 It
gives us a great feeling of peace.
5 While the sun's rays can age and harm our skin,they also give us
beneficial Vitamin D.To make sure you get enough Vitamin D-but still protect
your skin-put on sunscreen right as you head outside.It takes sunscreen about
fifteen minutes to start working,and that's plenty of time for your skin to absorb
a day's worth of Vitamin D.
A.Fresh air cleans our lungs.
B.So what are you waiting for?
C.Being in nature refreshes us.
D.Another side benefit of getting fresh air is sunlight.
E.But is fresh air really as good for you as your mother always said?
F.Just as importantly,we tend to associate fresh air with health care.
G.All across the country,recovery centers have begun building Healing
Gardens.
【语篇解读】 本文是一篇说明文,介绍了呼吸新鲜空气和接近大自然有益
7/29
于身心健康。
1.E [关联逻辑法解题。空格前一句说我们都是听着人们说的“出去呼吸
点儿新鲜空气”长大的,空格后一句说答案是肯定的。由此可判断 E 项“但是新
鲜空气真的像你妈妈总说的那样对你有好处吗?”符合语境。本设空类型属于细
节理解类。]
2.A [设题位置法解题。根据空格后的内容可知,如果人们呼吸的空气是
干净的,那么空气中就充满了维持生命的、让人充满活力的氧气。如果在户外锻
炼,人的身体会学会深呼吸,让更多的氧气进入肌肉和大脑。所以本段主要说的
是呼吸新鲜空气的好处,故 A 项“新鲜空气清洁我们的肺”符合语境。本设空
类型属于段落主题句类。]
3.G [词汇锁定法解题。空格后的 these places 与 G 项中的 recovery centers
相呼应,因此 G 项“全国各地的康复中心已经开始建造康复花园”符合语境。
本设空类型属于细节理解类。]
4.C [关联逻辑法解题。空格前介绍了接近大自然、看绿色植物对病人的
康复有益,空格后一句说“它给我们内心一种极大的平和的感觉”,由此可推断
出空格处应该表达置身于大自然的好处,故选 C 项“置身于大自然使我们精神
焕发”。本设空类型为细节理解类。]
5.D [设题位置法解题。空格后一句说,虽然阳光会使我们的皮肤衰老并
受到伤害,但阳光也能带来有益的维生素 D。这应该是呼吸新鲜空气附带的好处,
故 D 项“呼吸新鲜空气的另一个附带好处是阳光”符合语境,D 项中的 sunlight
与空格后的 the sun's rays 相呼应。本设空类型属于段落主题句类。]

Raynor Winn and her husband Moth became homeless due to their wrong
investment. Their savings had been 1 to pay lawyers' fees. To make matters
worse, Moth was diagnosed(诊断)with a 2 disease. There was no 3 ,

1.The participants followed suit,taking more food than they normally
would have.
参与者也照做了,吃的食物比通常多。
[句型公式] would have(taken)是虚拟语气,表示与过去的事实相反的假
设。
虚拟条件句及其主句的谓语形式可归纳如下:
21/29
从句谓语 主句谓语
与现在事实
相反
were/did would/should/could/might do
与将来事实
相反
should do/did/were to
do
would/should/could/might do
与过去事实
相反
had done would/should/could/might have done
(1)含蓄条件句用 without, but for, otherwise, or, but 等词来引导。
(2)在含蓄虚拟结构中,如果表示与现在或将来事实相反的假设,则主句谓语动
词用 would/could/might+do; 如果表示与过去事实相反的假设,则主句谓语动
词用 would/could/might+have done。
[名师点津] 如果条件从句中包含有 were, had, should,有时可把 if 省略
掉,但这时要把 were, had, should 放在主语前面(这种结构在口语中较少使用)。
(1)If we had made adequate preparations, we might have succeeded.
→Had we made adequate preparations,we might have succeeded.
(2)If there were no gravity, there would be no air around us.

2.But it was the effects deep within the fat cells that may have been the
most significant,the researchers found.
但研究人员发现,脂肪细胞深层的影响可能是最显著的。
[句型公式] 句中“it was...that...”是强调句型,在句中强调主语。
(1)强调句型的基本结构:It is/was+被强调部分+that /who +句子其余部
分.
(2)强调句的一般疑问句:Was/Is it+被强调部分+that+句子其余部分?
强调句的特殊疑问句:疑问词(被强调部分)+is/was+it+that+句子其余部
分?
(3)not until 的强调句型:It is/was not until+被强调部分+that+其他部分.
[名师点津] (1)强调句型中的引导词是 it (无实际意义,引导被强调部分),
that 也无实际意义,只起语法连接作用。
(2)此句型可强调地点状语、时间状语、主语、宾语等,如果被强调部分是
人,that 可以换成 who,其他情况只能用 that。
[易错提醒] 一般来说,如果把句子中的 It is/was 和 that 去掉,能还原成
完整的句子,并且句子意思依然完整,则为强调句型,否则为其他从句。
[金句推送] It's not doing the things we like, but liking the things we have

【语篇解读】 本文是一篇说明文,介绍了跑步可以给人带来的多种益处。
1.longer [考查副词的比较级。句中有 than,故用 long 的比较级 longer。]
28/29
2.to see [考查非谓语动词。本句有谓语动词,因此此处应用非谓语动词;
分析句子结构及句意可知,此处应用动词不定式 to see 作目的状语。]
3.dying [考查非谓语动词。短语 reduce one's risk of...“降低某人……
的风险”,此处介词 of 后用动词ing 形式作宾语。]
4.is [考查动词的时态和主谓一致。本文介绍了跑步的好处,通篇以一般
现在时为主。本句中宾语从句与主句的时态应保持一致,故用一般现在时;且宾
语从句中的主语为 it,故用 is。]
5.than [考查介词。根据句中的 more 可知,此处应用介词 than 引出比较
对象。此处表示跑步比散步、骑行或游泳更能有效地延长寿命。故填 than。]
6.that/which [考查定语从句。分析句子结构可知,此处引导定语从句,
先行词为 a study,且定语从句中缺少主语,故填关系代词 that/which。]
7.causes [考查名词单复数。此处 cause 是可数名词,意为“原因”,句中
的 all 表示“所有”,后应用可数名词的复数形式,故填 causes。]
8.strengthen [考查非谓语动词。分析句子结构可知,此处为动词不定式
作目的状语,故本空应填动词 strengthen,意为“增强,加强”。]
9.energetic [考查形容词。and 连接两个并列分句,两个分句都表示跑步
的特征,and 前面的 cheap 和 easy 均为形容词,故此处应用形容词 energetic 作表
语,意为“需要能量的,剧烈的”。]
10.it/running [考查固定搭配。give it a try 为固定搭配,意为“试一试”,
根据语境可知,it 指代 running,故可填 it 或 running。]
