2013高考英语二轮（文章题）训练（5）及答案
阅读理解
（A）
Many students will add weight during their freshman year on campus because of a combination of unhealthy eating and less exercise. Former high school athletes are at a greater risk of gaining weight due to a change in their consistent exercise patterns.
While this may seem like common sense, students across the country will still experience the “Freshman 15”.
Some of the common causes of weight gain are lack of exercise, late night eating, keeping unhealthy snacks on hand, eating unhealthy cafeteria food and drinking excessive amounts of alcohol.
Karen Miller, a dietician at the University of Nebraska—Lincoln Health Center, wrote in an e-mail that some students come to college with an adolescent body, so weight gain may simply be part of their body’s development. She also said weight gain is a result of increased calories, decreased physical activity or a combination of both.
“Some students will eat to cope with sadness, depression, anxiety and being homesick, ” Miller said. “If food is being used as a method, (students should) seek help. ”
Students should try to be active at least 60 minutes a day on most days of the week, Miller said. “Activities can include taking a walk, playing intramurals or other type of aerobic activities, ” she said.
Scott Thorson, a sophomore（二年级学生） mechanical engineer major, said he didn’t gain any weight during his freshman year because he went to the Campus Recreation Center and was on UNL’s frisbee team. He said he worked out three or four days a week.
Not all freshmen are as lucky as Thorson. Collin Pietz, a sophomore film studies major, said he gained about 10 pounds during his first year in school. Pietz tried, however, to take off the weight.
“I walked anywhere I could, both to class and just around town, as much as possible, ” Pietz said. “I tried to stay away from the fatty foods in the cafeteria and instead ate more fruits and salads. ”
Incoming freshman Anne Gates from Columbus said she will be prepared to fight against the potential weight gain. She said a healthy diet of non-junk foods and consistent exercise will keep off the pounds. She’s already toured the recreation center, and hopes they’ll have exercise programs for her to participate in.
“Programs make you more willing to stick to exercising if you are with friends or a group or if you have a program to follow, ” Gates said.
21. Freshman 15 means that _______.
A. freshmen are only 15 years old
B. freshmen all want to lose 15 pounds

(E)
In Canada and the United States, there is a new group of children called “satellite kids”, who live in one place but whose parents live in another place.
Asians are immigrating to Canada and the United States in larger numbers than ever before. Most Asians immigrate because they believe that they can give their children a better education in the West. In Asia, especially in China, Japan, and Korea, it is difficult to go to university. Students must first pass the strict national examination. However, in Canada and the United States, it is easy to go to university, and anyone who wants to go can go. As a result, Asian parents decide to leave their countries so that their children can go to university.
The problem is that when Asians arrive, they discover that finding a job and making money are more difficult in the West than in the East. Also, they find that they are very lonely, and that they miss their homes. Because of these two reasons, most Asian parents decide to go back to work while their children study in the West. Therefore, these children become “satellite kids”, and most of their parents do not know how sad it is to be a “satellite kid”.
Only until now are Canadians and Americans discovering the “satellite kids” problem. Because these children do not speak English and because their parents are not there to take care of them, they are often absent from school. To be a “satellite kid” means to grow up in a country where you know you are different and where you cannot make friends because you do not speak English well. Also, it means to grow up alone, because your parents are elsewhere. What these “satellite kids” will probably say to their parents is that it’s better to have parents around than to have a university education.
37. Some Asian parents send their kids abroad because _______.
A. they hope their children may easily find a job there
B. the kids may not be accepted by universities in their own countries
C. all foreign universities are better than the ones in their own countries
D. the kids want to improve their English and make foreign friends
38. “Satellite kids” refer to Asian kids _______.
A. without parents
B. living abroad alone
C. with university education
D. speaking no English
39. Some Asian immigrant children become “satellite kids” because their parents _______.
A. want to leave their own countries
B. want them to go to university
C. return to their own countries to work
D. want them to be independent
40. What is the main idea of the passage?
A. Parents want better education for their kids.
B. Parents feel lonely and miss their families.
C. Canadians and Americans begin to notice the “satellite kids” problem.
D. Kids in foreign countries alone are badly in need of care from family.
37.【解析】选B。细节理解题。A项错误，是求学而非就业；文章并没有提及哪个地方的大学更好，排除C项；文章也没有提及是为了提高外语水平和结交外国朋友，排除D项；依文章第二段最后两句可以得出B项为其目的。
38.【解析】选B。推理判断题。A项明显错误，并非指没有了父母的孩子；C项错误，目的是上大学，并非指拥有大学教育的孩子；D项表述错误，亚洲不讲英语的孩子有很多，这里强调的是在国外求学的亚洲孩子；依文章最后一段中的“To be a ‘satellite kid’ means to grow up in a country where you know you are different and where you cannot make friends because you do not speak English well. Also, it means to grow up alone. . . ”可知B项正确。“means”一词，起到了下定义的作用。
39.【解析】选C。细节理解题。根据文章倒数第二段最后一句话“Therefore, these children become ‘satellite kids’. . . ”可知，前文是其原因，由此得出答案为C项。
40.【解析】选D。主旨大意题。文章讨论了“satellite kids”这一群体的成因及这些孩子的表现和心声，由此可知，本文是以“孩子”为中心来写的，由此排除A、B、C三项。

5.【参考范文】
Dear Ralph,
I’m a middle schoo1 student. I’m writing to tell you my problem which has bothered me for a 1ong time.
It is the relationship between my father and me. My father is a company manager. He is strict with me, but he has very little time to talk with me because of his busy work. I love my father, but I’m still a little afraid of him because he loses his temper easily, even though I do quite well in my studies. Maybe it’s because we have seldom sat down and exchanged our feelings and thoughts. I hope we can know more about each other and understand each other better. But I don’t know how to communicate with him. Can you give me some advice?
Best wishes.
Yours,
Li Hua
