    解析试题分析：本文叙述了美国人的饮食变化，他们越来越重视食物的营养价值和对健康的影响，他们去超市买东西要仔细看一下标签，他们愿意买不含化学物质的食品，有的人还愿意品尝外国的大餐。
    【小题1】因为空格前面有冠词，后有名词所以判断这里该用形容词，句意：一个是日益增长的有营养价值的食品的意识；根据an increasing interest 也可判断与increasing同一的词，所以用growing，故选E。
    【小题2】根据Also more and more Americans have become interested in food from other countries. 来自国外的食品所以用international，故选H。
    【小题3】这是固定短语be concernedabout关心；美国人越来越关心健康，故选C。
    【小题4】根据the package over to read the labels carefully.这里是turn over翻过来，他们要翻过来仔细地看一下标签，故选A。
    【小题5】这里是定语从句，先行词是food，关系词在从句中作主语，food与动词之间是被动关系，这里必须用谓语动词的过去分词，所以只有F、J和G，根据句意应该是食物被生产出来，故选G。
    【小题6】另外一组美国人被称为素食者，已经决定不吃肉，这里Americans与call之间是被动关系，这里是过去分词短语作定语，故选J。
    【小题7】他们出去到国际的餐馆迫切想尝吃一下不熟悉的菜，根据句意故选B。
    【小题8】在美国，日本、法国、意大利、希腊和许多其他国家的食谱都是受欢迎的，根据句意故选I。

    根据短文内容，从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项，选项中有两项为多余选项。
    Taking a math test can be pretty stressful. Even if you know the material, you can still get the problem wrong. Knowing how to go through your math test and check your work can save you from handing in a test full of mistakes that can be avoided.   【小题1】 
    Write it out
    You can also check a math problem by writing everything out on paper.   【小题2】  Writing out math problems reduces your chances of missing anything to the lowest possible level, which is a common cause of incorrect answers.
     【小题3】 
    Make sure your answers work by doing the opposite procedure of what your problem calls for, including the answer you got the first time around. In other words, you would use the opposite of this addition problem—subtraction (减法)—to determine whether or not your answer is the correct one.
    Plugging in
    You may find that a variable(变量) isn’t good enough or have a problem where you have to solve for a variable.   【小题4】  This is the only real way to assure yourself that the answer you’ve found is correct.
    Check for a reasonable answer
      【小题5】  For example, if you get an answer in the millions and you know it should be in the thousands, you’ve likely misplaced a point. Go back through the work on your paper to make sure all of your formulas and calculations are correct. If everything looks okay, do the problem again and compare the result of the second try to what you’ve got on the first try.

    A．Do the opposite
    B．Correct the answers
    C．Plug the variable in the equation (方程) to check it out.
    D．Therefore you’ll improve your grades, as well as your math skills.
    E. It also helps you to figure out everything after you have already finished the test.
    F. If the result of a problem seems to make no sense, it indicates that the answer is incorrect.
    G. This helps you to know what information you have and what information you need to solve.

    Raising Confident Kids
    Self-esteem(自尊) is a collection of beliefs or feelings we have about ourselves. Having a healthy self-esteem can protect us through difficult times and help us remain focused on what is important to us. Research shows that children with high self-esteem grow up to be more confident adults. Self-esteem building should start from young.   【小题1】 
    Praise actions
    Young children need feedback. It’s how they measure their actions and it plays a role in learning from experience. Provide specific praise about actual actions performed and efforts made in the process.   【小题2】 .
    Identify strengths
    Preschoolers are always watching each other. On the bright side, they learn new things from each other. On the other side, they can become self-critical when they see a peer accomplishing something they still struggle to do. 【小题3】  Tell your children to focus on their strengths when they start to draw comparisons.
    Foster(培养) a sense of belonging
    Young children may not understand how peer pressure (同龄人的压力) works, but they feel it when they’re being excluded(排除). Show your children that they are important by listening to and responding to their needs and ideas. As much as possible, save grown-up conversations for later so that you can have family conversations.   【小题4】 
     【小题5】 
    As much as they need us, they also need to work on taking small steps towards independence. When they know they can do things, they feel more confident. Teach problem-solving skills. Step aside and let them work on challenges before jumping in to help. Help by asking, “ How can we do this in a different way? Let’s come up with some ideas together.” Getting kids involved in problem-solving teaches them how to deal with challenges in the future.
    Building and maintaining healthy self-esteem can be a lifelong process, but the sooner you start, the more confident your children will become.

    A．Encourage Independence
    B．Spend quality time with children
    C．Try to address their concerns as they arise, no matter how minor.
    D．If praise is only attached to success, kids will focus on “ winning”.
    E. Be sure to point out your children’s strengths regularly and be specific.
    F. Below are some tips to help you promote your children’s self-esteem.
    G. Each parent has the responsibility to help children to become confident.

    A. Attention must be paid to environmental factors.
    B. Principles of curing cancers.
    C. It will take long to find perfect cures.
    D. An important discovery in the research.
    E. The causative factor of cancer is very clear.
    F. The survival rate differs among patients with various cancers.
    【小题1】___________
    “I have great confidence that by the end of the decade we’ll know in vast detail how cancer cells arise,” says microbiologist Robert Weinberg, an expert on cancer. “But,” he cautions, “some people have the idea that once one understands the causes, the cure will rapidly follow. Consider Pasteur. He discovered the causes of many kinds of infections, but it was fifty or sixty years before cures were available. ”
    【小题2】____________
    This year, 50 percent of the 910,000 people who suffer from cancer will survive at least five years. In the year 2020, the National Cancer Institute estimates, that figure will be 75 percent. For some skin cancers, the five-year survival rate is as high as 90 percent. But other survival statistics are still discouraging—13 percent for lung cancer, and 2 percent for cancer of the pancreas (胰腺) .
    【小题3】___________
    With as many as 120 varieties in existence, discovering how cancer works is not easy. The researchers made great progress in the early 1970s, when they discovered that oncogenes, which are cancer-causing genes, are inactive in normal cells. Anything from universe rays to radiation to diet may activate an inactive gene, but how remains unknown. If several oncogenes are driven into action, the cell, unable to turn them off, becomes cancerous.
    【小题4】____________
    The exact process involved is still mysterious, but the likelihood that many cancers are initiated at the level of genes suggests that we will never prevent all cancers. “Changes are a normal part of the evolutionary process,” says oncologist William Hayward. Environmental factors can never be totally eliminated; as Hayward points out, “We can’t prepare a medicine against universe rays.”
    【小题5】____________
    The prospects for cure, though still distant, are brighter. “First, we need to understand how the normal cell controls itself. Second, we have to determine whether there are a limited number of genes in cells, which are always responsible for at least part of the trouble. If we can understand how cancer works, we can reduce its action. ”

    第二节：下面文章中有5个段落需要添加首句。请从以下选项（A. B. C. D. E和 F）中选出适合各段落的首句。选项中有一项是多余选项。
    A. People will accept defeat easily.
    B. Good sportsmanship (运动员精神) brings success.
    C. Good sportsmanship brings happiness.
    D. People can learn how to manage upsets.
    E. Good sportsmanship reminds you of rules.
    F. Good sportsmanship makes one responsible.
    Should Good Sportsmanship Be Taught in School?
    Almost everyone feels that it is important for young people to win fairly and show respect for others. Should good sportsmanship, then, be taught in school? The stronger argument, however, favors teaching good sportsmanship. Presented here are the most important benefits of teaching sportsmanship.
    【小题1】________ Having a positive attitude in activities like sports, class elections, and science fair competitions are important to success in school. Activities involving winning or losing can be tense. Acting calmly under pressure helps young adults succeed not only in sports but also in life. Good sportsmanship is not a given; it must be promoted in school. Young people must be directed to role models who practice sportsmanship.
    【小题2】________ A person cannot play by the rules if he or she does not understand what the rules are. Many arguments on the playing field could be avoided if athletes understood their responsibilities. This also applies to other activities. If students enter a science fair competition, for example, they must follow the instructions. Additionally, knowledge provides a competitive advantage. Those who understand the rules are much more likely to succeed. In school, for example, success is definitely stressed. When students learn sportsmanship, they discover how the rules related to achievement.
    【小题3】_______ Using good sportsmanship helps people stay focused and in control. Almost everyone has overheard a heated argument between a player and a referee（裁判）. Good players do not argue with other players, coaches, or officials. They deal with upsets calmly; consequently, they stay in control of their game. Good players focus on achieving. Uncontrolled anger can actually cause a person to make errors. This result is especially embarrassing. Additionally, people can be labeled if they act out their upsets. A good sport is known for his or her positive conduct. Teaching students the consequences of their actions is part of sportsmanship.
    【小题4】_______ Good players become skilled at handling responsibility. When people accept responsibility, they achieve their best. Positive thinkers, moreover, influence others, especially those who are struggling with a problem. A gifted basketball player, for example, might teach skills to a less talented player. Helping others raises the performance of the entire team. The team, consequently, could reach new heights and set new records. Good sportsmanship, however, means “owning up” to mistakes as well. Those who do not practice sportsmanship pass off responsibility. For them, if an opportunity is lost, it is someone else’s fault. Imagine a team of players all acting in their own self-interest--- the opposite of what a team really should be. Students who participate in a team, whether a math small-group project or the school band, benefit by learning to accept responsibility and encourage others.
    【小题5】_______ Sportsmanship allows people to enjoy victory to the fullest. If people win, but their accomplishments are based on cheating or other immoral behavior, are they really winners? Good players follow the rules. They feel proud even in defeat because their game is based on honesty and respect. Winners congratulate their opponents（对手） as part of recognizing the efforts of others. This friendly behavior spreads goodwill from their team to other teams. Players who show respect for fans, coaches, and other players receive respect in return. They are recognized as leaders. In learning sportsmanship, students explore role models of positive behavior. They learn what it takes to be a leader; they also learn to win and lose with grace（风度）.
