help reduce hunger, the u.s. researchers said on monday. previous research suggests that the ability to control energy intake may be affected by the speed at which we eat, and a high eating rate may damage the relationship between the sensory signals and processes that control how much we eat.in order to learn more about the link between eating speed and energy intake, researchers examined how eating speed affects calories consumed during a meal in both normal-weight subjects as well as overweight or obese subjects.in the new study, a group of normal-weight subjects and a group of overweight or obese subjects were asked to consume two meals in a controlled environment. all subjects ate one meal slowly, took small bites, chewed thoroughly, and paused and put the spoon down between bites, and ate a second meal quickly, took large bites, chewed quickly, and did not pause and put the spoon down.at the conclusion of the study, the researchers found only normal-weight subjects had a statistically significant reduction in caloric consumption by eating slowly. “a lack of statistical significance in the overweight and obese group may be partly due to the fact that they consumed less food during both eating conditions compared to the normal-weight subjects,” professor meena shah said, “it is possible that the overweight and obese subjects felt more self-conscious, and thus ate less during the study.”despite the differences in caloric consumption between the normal-weight and overweight and obese subjects, the study found some similarities. both groups felt less hungry later on after the slow meal than after the fast meal, which indicates that greater hunger suppression（抑制）among both groups could be expected from a meal consumed more slowly. also, both the normal-weight and overweight or obese groups consumed more water during the slow meal. “the higher water intake during the slow eating condition may have affected food consumption,” said shah. according to shah, slowing the speed of eating may help suppress hunger levels and “may even improve the enjoyment of a meal”.the findings were published in the journal of the academy of nutrition and dietetics.21. what does the previous study have in common with the new one?a. there is a link between eating speed and energy intake.b. eating at a slow speed may help feel hungry.c. eating too fast may damage your stomach.d. eating rate may affect processes controlling how much we eat.22. what should the subjects do during the research?a. both groups could totally eat the meals at any speed as they liked.b. both groups had to consume one meal in controlled eating conditions.c. both groups were asked to eat one meal slowly while the other quickly.d. one group should eat slowly while the other one quickly.23. what caused the lack of statistically significant reduction in the overweight and obese group?a. they were told not to eat a lot.b. in the study they had no appetite to eat.c. they lost consciousness in the study.d. they ate less food on purpose.24. what is the passage mainly about?a. new research findings about how to control eating rate.b. a study about the link between eating speed and energy intake.c. one may feel less hungry later on after the slow meal than after the fast meal.d. water intake may have affected food consumption.bcleverness is a

logic made some sense to me, and he convinced me to think about it for 48 hours before making a final decision. seen in that light, it really was a difficult choice, but finally, i decided i had to give it a shot. i didnt think id regret trying and failing. and i suspected i would always be haunted by a decision not to try at all.after much consideration, i took the less safe path to follow my

poor. whenever i speak to a chinese student, they always say, “my spoken english is poor.” 36 i would like to suggest that there may be some reasons for their problems with spoken english.first, they fail to find suitable words to express themselves due to a limited vocabulary. 37 howeve r, you can speak with a limited vocabulary, if you choose a positive attitude. others will follow you as long as you use the words that you know._38 sometimes they make mistakes when they are speaking because they are shy and nervous. yet students should remember that their goal should be fluency not accuracy. your aim in writing is to be accurate following the rules for grammar and using them to get your message across. but to talk to someone in english, as quickly and well as you can, even though sometimes you may use a wrong word or tense, but it doesnt matter. 39 the third reason is that not enough attention is paid to listening. you have one mouth but two ears! all the hearing is necessary for you to start speaking.fourth, most chinese students are reactive rather than proactive(主動的) language learners. instead of actively seeking out opportunities to improve their spoken english they passively wait for speaking opportunities to come to them and wonder why their english always remains poor. 40 a. second, they are afraid of making mistakes.b. they may try to avoid making similar mistakes next time.c. obviously the better answer is to expand their vocabulary.d. however, their spoken english does not have to remain “poor”!e. the second reason lies in the reluctance (不愿) of using what has just been learned.f. the person you are speaking to will understand you and make allowances for any mistakes he hears.g. if you have this proactive outlook, then you will see english opportunities wherever you go.第三部分 英語知識應用（共四節(jié)，滿分45分）第一節(jié):完形填空（共20 小題；每小題1.5分，滿分30分）閱讀下面短文，從短文后各題所給的四個選項（a, b, c, d）中，選出可以填入空白處的最佳選項，并在答題卡上將該項涂黑。 americans prefer to try every
