三、阅读理解。

A

When we exercise hard, we burn fat. But have you ever wondered where exactly the fat goes?

Some doctors think that fat is changed into heat and given off in the air. Others think the body burns it. Some even joke that someone com es and takes it. That’s why you always weigh less in the morning.

Now a new study from Australia solves the mystery(迷). ＂The correct answer is that most of the fat is breathed (呼吸) out as CO2. It goes into the air.＂says the study.

Scientists followed the atoms(原子) in 10 kilograms of fat as they are lost. They found that 8.4 of those kilograms are breathed out as CO2 through the lungs (肺). The other weight, 1.6 kilograms, becomes water and leaves the body.

＂None of this is easy to understand because we can’t see the CO2 we breathe out.＂said the study’s lead expert.

Does that mean you can lose more weight by breathing more? It is not as easy as you think.

Breathing more than the body’s metabolic rate (新陈代谢速度) can make you uncomfortable. You may feel dizzy(眩晕的) and become unable to see, move or feel, according to the study.

So how can people lose weight healthily? The key is to eat less and move more. You may have heard this many times. During a day, a 70kg person breathes out about 200g of CO2. So if the same person wants to lose weight, he or she can do some light exercise, for example, walking fast. This can help lose 240g of CO2.

26. Where is the new study from?

A. Japan.

B. Australia.

C. Canada.

D. America.

27. According to the new study, where does our fat go when we exercise a lot?

A. The body burns it.

B. Someone comes and takes it.

C. It is changed into heat and given off in the air.

D. Most of it is breathed out as CO2.

28. What will happen to people if they breat he more than the body’s metabolic rate?

A. They will lose weight healthily.

B. They will feel comfortable.

C. They may become unable to move.

D. They may become healthier.

29. Which of the following is the best way to lose weight?

A. Sitting still and breathing more.

B. Sleeping a lot and breathing more.

C. Eating less and exercising more.

D. Eating more and doing some light exercise.

30. The passage mainly tells us ______.

A. where fat goes when we exercise

B. why we can lose weight healthily

C. how we should do some exercise

D. what we should do to become fat

B

A teacher from America visited a school in China. In one class, she watched sixty children learn to draw a cat. The teacher drew a big circle on the blackboard, and sixty children copied it on their paper. The teacher drew a small one on the top of the big one and then put two small triangles(三角形) on the top of it. The children drew in the same way. The lesson went on until there were sixty-one cats in the classroom. Each student’s cat looked exactly the same as that on the blackboard.

The visiting teacher watched the lesson and was surprised because the teacher methods were different from those in her country. A children’s art lesson in her country produced a lot of pictures, and each one is quite different from the others. Why? What makes this difference in educational methods? In a classroom in any country, a teacher teaches more than art or history or language.

In a country such as the United States or Canada, students are asked to work and find answers by themselves. The students are helped to learn to have their own ideas. In countries such as China and Japan, students often work together and help each other in the classroom, but the teachers teach, and the students listen. The students are asked to memorize a lot. They have to learn the same textbook, do the same homework and give the same answers.

31. Which of the following looks like the cat on the blackboard?

A. B. C. D.

32. The students in ______ are helped to find answers by themselves.

A. Japan

B. China

C. America
