More than two-thirds of adults in the United States are overweight and half of them are trying to lose weight. According to a recent study, led by Evan Forman, a psychology professor from Drexel University, a smartphone app called OnTrack can predict ahead of time when users are likely to lapse in their weight loss plans and help them stay on track.
People on weight loss plans often experience lapses, which can prevent successful weight loss or even lead to weight regain, according to Forman. The study evaluated the effectiveness of the app among weight loss program participants and individuals attempting to follow an online weight management plan from Weight Watchers for eight weeks.
OnTrack uses advanced statistical methods — machine learning — to learn over time a user’s individual patterns of eating. Specifically, it learns patterns that are predictive of staying on one's weight loss plan and patterns that are predictive or lapsing from one's plan. When the app detects the risk of lapsing is high, it sends a special coaching message that matches the reasons someone is at risk. For example, the app can predict a person is eating late at night because of being bored at home with tempting food. The predictions get better over time as the app learns a user's behavioral patterns.
According to Forman, over the course of the study, participants averaged a 3.13 percent weight loss and reduction in unplanned lapses. The next step is clinical trial to confirm the apps ability as a weight loss tool.
8. What is OnTrack used to do?
A. To keep track of phones. B. To plan route for its users.
C. To predict possible mental disease. D. To help stick to weight loss plans.
9. What is Paragraph 3 mainly about?
A. The basic principles of OnTrack. B. The main patterns of healthy eating.
C. The importance of weight loss plans. D. The development of machine learning.
10. Which of the following would Forman agree with?
A. OnTrack may have side effects. B. OnTrack is popular among young people.
C. OnTrack does very well in predicting lapses. D. OnTrack is a clinically proven weight loss tool.
11. Why does the author write the text?
A. To give tips on losing weight. B. To introduce a smartphone app.
C. To analyze what leads to lapses. D. To encourage people to keep fit.
【答案】8. D 9. A 10. C 11. B

细节理解题。根据第一段中“According to a recent study, led by Evan Forman, a psychology professor from Drexel University, a smartphone app called OnTrack can predict ahead of time when users are likely to lapse in their weight loss plans and help them stay on track.

【9题详解】
主旨大意题。根据第三段“OnTrack uses advanced statistical methods — machine learning — to learn over time a user’s individual patterns of eating. Specifically, it learns patterns that are predictive of staying on one's weight loss plan and patterns that are predictive or lapsing from one's plan. When the app detects the risk of lapsing is high, it sends a special coaching message that matches the reasons someone is at risk. For example, the app can predict a person is eating late at night because of being bored at home with tempting food. The predictions get better over time as the app learns a user's behavioral patterns. (OnTrack使用先进的统计方法——机器学习——随着时间的推移来学习用户的个人饮食模式。具体来说，它可以学习能预测一个人能否坚持减肥计划的模式，也可以预测一个人能否放弃减肥计划。当应用程序检测到失信风险很高时，它会发送一条特殊的指导信息，与某人处于危险中的原因相匹配。例如，这款应用可以预测一个人因为在家里吃着诱人的食物而感到无聊，所以会吃到深夜。随着时间的推移，随着应用程序了解用户的行为模式，预测会变得更好)”可知，第三段主要讲了OnTrack的基本运行原则。故选A。

Fathers in France will now get double the paid paternity leave. President Emmanuel Macron announced this week. Starting next summer, dads will receive 28 days paid leave. When a baby arrives in the world, there is no reason it should be just the mother who takes ('are of it, Macron said in the announcement.
It stands in sharp contrast to the dire state of paternity leave in the US, where there is no federal paid parental leave. The Family and Medical Leave Act grants some mothers and fathers the ability to lake 12 weeks unpaid leave and return to a protected job, depending on the size and type of the company. But the law leaves many parents at the mercy of the state in which they live (only three, California, New Jersey. and Rhode Island, grant paid leave) or their employers' individual plans.
According to the National Partnership for Women and Families, only 9 percent of US companies offer paid paternity leave to all male employees. Some companies offer more paid leave for mothers and less for fathers, essentially ensuring that taking care of a new child is a woman's responsibility.
Even when paternity leave is an option, many fathers don't take it, due to fear of losing their standing—or, even worse, their job. In fact, 76 percent of fathers are back to work within a week after the birth or adoption of a child.
Studies have shown that paternity leave can set the tone for fathers' long-term relationships with their children and families. Children whose fathers took at least two weeks of paternity leave reported feeling closer to their dads even nine years later, according to a joint study of sociology professors at Ball State University and Ohio State University, which also found that paternity leave is linked to lower divorce rates. In Europe, data found that fathers are “more likely to remain involved in parenting and to equally divide household chores with their partners if they take time off after their children arrive”.
12. How long can French fathers rest before announcement?
A. 28 days. B. 14 days. C. 12 weeks. D. 4 weeks.
13. What does the underlined word "dire" mean in the second paragraph?
A. Horrible. B. Wonderful. C. Acceptable. D. Positive.
14. Why do some American fathers choose not to take the paternity leave?
A. They may take the risk of being unemployed.
B. It's women's duty to look after the new born child.
C. Their companies don't have the right to let fathers take it.
D. They are unwilling to accompany their wives and children.
15. What is the last paragraph mainly about?
A. Changes of the relationship of the family.
B. A science report made by sociology professors.
C. Some advantages of fathers' taking paternity leave.
D. The benefits of fathers' sharing household chores.
【答案】12. B 13. A 14. A 15. C
