Many times we try to impress others by pursuing self-perfection and self-respect to some extent. I spent much time trying to achieve perfection in every dimension of my life.
学习啦在线学习网 Surrounded by a supportive family and a lot of friends, I was a happy kid. But growing up was really 31 and even scary sometimes.
During my childhood, I was constantly involved in something that included people’s viewing my achievements or my 32. I wanted everyone’s praise and acceptance, but I was my own toughest critic (挑剔的).
学习啦在线学习网 After I graduated from high school, my 33 to be “thin” began to trouble me. I began trying to diet by 34 my food.
学习啦在线学习网 In the beginning, I felt great—attractive and successful, almost superhuman. I even thought that I was better than everyone else. What I didn’t see was that I was slowly 35 myself.
People around me began to 36 my weight loss. They said with concern. “You’re losing too much weight.” “Elisa, you’re so thin.” All their words only suggested that I was getting closer to “ 37 ” .
Sadly, I took my physical appearance the first important matter in my life, 38 that it was the way to become successful and accepted.
学习啦在线学习网 Then I 39 my food more and more, until a(n) 40 day consisted of half a teaspoon of nonfat yoghurt and coffee in the morning, and a cup of grapes at night.
But my poor nutrition began to cause me to lose 41 . Then one night, like many nights before, I couldn’t sleep , and my hear t felt 42 it might beat out of my chest. I tried to 43 for help, but I couldn’t. The beating became so rapid and so strong that I could no longer 44 . What I had done to diet 45 caused me to have a heart attack. I stood up, and immediately fell down. I was really 46 , and I knew I needed help. My roommate 47 me to the hospital, beginning the long road to my 48 . It took a lot—doctors, nurses, nutritionists, food supplements.
And most important, a sense of what was true about myself got back on track with reality. I realized th at, with my 49 of trying to be “perfect” on the 50 , I had sacrificed who I was on the inside. What I know now is, we are—each and every one of us—already perfect.

第三部分：阅读理解(共20小题;每小题2分，满分40分)
学习啦在线学习网 阅读下列短文，从每篇短文后各题所给的四个选项(A、B、C和D)中，选出最佳选项，并在答题卡上将该项涂黑。
A
学习啦在线学习网 A word has suddenly become wildly popular in China—“Tuhao”—which loosely translated means “nouveau riche”(暴发户). It's connected with everything from the new People's Daily building, to expensive celebrity weddings full of bling(锦衣珠宝), and the new gold-colored iPhone.
学习啦在线学习网 In Chinese “tu” means earth and “hao” means rich. To say someone is Tuhao is to imply they come from a poor peasant background, and have become rich quickly—but don't quite have the proper manners to go along with it. It's almost like the term “nouveau riche”, says Professor Steve Tsang at the School of Contemporary Chinese Studies in Nottingham—but has even more negative meanings, suggesting a certain vulgarity(粗俗).
“Tuhao” is actually an old word—dating back perhaps as far as the Southern Dynasty 1,500 years ago —but it has always meant something rather different. During the communist revolution, it was widely used to refer to landholders who would bully(欺侮)those beneath them.
This new usage of the term took off in last September after a widely-shared joke about a rich, but unhappy man, who goes to a Buddhist monk for advice, expecting to be told to live a happier life. The monk replies with the phrase: “Tuhao, let's be friends!”
Chinese Internet users are highly creative in their use of language, and are constantly inventing, and re-inventing words. But in this case, its popularity seems to be down to the fact that it briefly expresses China's changing society so well—many people sneer at those with wealth, but are secretly envious.
51. Which of the following may NOT be considered “Tuhao”?
学习啦在线学习网 A. A vulgar nouveau riche. B. A bully landholder.
学习啦在线学习网 C. A quick-rich peasant without proper manners. D. A Buddhist monk.
学习啦在线学习网 52. The fourth paragraph mainly tells us .
学习啦在线学习网 A. what the new usage of the word is
B. why the unhappy man went to the Buddhist monk
C. how the word becomes popular again
学习啦在线学习网 D. what advice the monk gave the unhappy man
53. What is the meaning of the underlined phrase in the last paragraph most simil ar to?
A. undervalue B. undertake C. understand D. underline
54. What is the main idea of the passage?
学习啦在线学习网 A. Tuhao is a word popular again in China. B. Tuhao has a long history.
C. Tuhao is a newly-invented Chinese word. D. Tuhao is nouveau riche.
B
Instagram is a fast, beautiful and fun way to share your life with friends and family. Take a picture or video, choose a filter to transform its look and feel, then post to Instagram — it's that easy. You can even share to Facebook, Twitter and more. It's a new way to see the world. So many photos of food are contained on Instagram—n ow a pop-up diner in London is taking advantage of this new trend by letting people settle the bill for their meals simply by uploading photos of their dishes to social networks.
I always thought people's taking pictures of their food was kind of silly, but at this new pop-up restaurant(游击餐厅) in the UK, I'd probably do it too. “The Picture House” is the world's first pay-by-photo restaurant—you order, click a photo of the food, share on Instagram and eat for free!
The restaurant belongs to frozen food giant(巨人)Birds Eye, who came up w ith the idea to cash in on people’s addiction with photographing food and sharing the pictures online. They conducted a survey and found out that more than half of the British population regularly took pictures of their meals. So they realized it was a better way to advertise their new dining range.
The pop-up diner was open in Soho, London for three days in May, and is now moving to other major UK cities. They serve two-course meals that customers don’t have to pay for, if they photo and Instagram it.
The restaurant is a part of Birds Eye’s “Food for Life” campaign, a new marketing project that aims at changing the way people look at frozen food.“Taking photos of food enables people to show off and to share their mealtime moments—from the everyday to the special ,”said marketing director Margaret Jobling.
学习啦在线学习网 The reaction to The Picture House has been great so far. And the pay-by-picture concept has proven to be an effective way. Alternative payment methods are actually gaining popularity among a lot of businesses. Last year, in a cafe in Germany customers pay by how much time they spend there, not by what they eat.
55. Instagram probably is ____.
A. a restaurant free of charge B. a campaign of “Food for Life”
学习啦在线学习网 C. a program used to share photos D. a new marketing project
学习啦在线学习网 56. What’s the author’s attitude to this new trend?
学习啦在线学习网 A. Confused B. Unconcerned C. Opposed D. Interested
学习啦在线学习网 57.“The Picture House” encourages sharing photos of its food to ____.
学习啦在线学习网 A. raise the price of frozen food B. attract more customers
C. create a new social media trend D. reward the regular customers
学习啦在线学习网 58. Which of the following can serve as the best title for the passage?
A. Pay by Picture B. The Pop-up Diner
学习啦在线学习网 C. No Need to Pay D. Food for Life

It’s difficult and painful for teenagers to get up in the early morning, which might be called laziness by the parents. But Dr. Kleitman has a new explanation. He has proved that everyone has a daily energy cycle.
学习啦在线学习网 During the hours when you labor through your work, you may say that you’re “hot”. That’s true. The time of day when you feel most energetic is when your cycle of body temperature is at its peak. For some people that peak comes during the forenoon. For others it comes in the afternoon or evening. No one has discovered why this is so, but it leads to such familiar monologues(自言自语)as “Get up,John ! You’ll be late for work again !” The possible explanation to the trouble is that John is at his temperature-and-energy peak in the evening. Much family quarrelling ends when husbands and wives realize what these energy cycles mean, and which cycle each member of the family has.
You can’t change your energy cycle, but you can ma ke your life fit it better. Habit can help. Dr. Kleitman believes. Maybe you’re sleepy in the evening but feel you must stay up late anyway. Counteract(打乱)your cycle to some extent by habitually staying up later than you want to.If your energy is low in the morning but you have an important job to do early in the day, rise before your usual hour. This won’t change your cycle, but you’ll get up steam and work better at your low point.
学习啦在线学习网 Get off to a slow start which saves your energy. Get up with a yawn(呵欠)and stretch. Sit on the edge of the bed a minute before putting your feet on the floor. Avoid the troublesome search for clean clothes by laying them out the night before. Whenever possible, do routine work in the afternoon and save tasks requiring more energy for your sharper hours.
学习啦在线学习网 59. Which of the following causes family quarrels?
学习啦在线学习网 A. Familiar monologues.
学习啦在线学习网 B. Not knowing each other’s energy cycle.
学习啦在线学习网 C. A change in a family member’s energy cycle.
学习啦在线学习网 D. Attempts to control the energy of other family members
60. If you want to work better at your low point in the morning, you should .
A. change your energy cycle B. overcome your laziness
C. go to bed earlier D. get up early than usual
学习啦在线学习网 61. You are advised to rise with a yawn and stretch because it will .
A. enable you to get your energy on your routine work
B. help you to control your temper early in the day
学习啦在线学习网 C. help to keep your energy for the day’s work
学习啦在线学习网 D. keep your energy cycle under control all day
62. What’s the best title of the passage?
学习啦在线学习网 A. Save Your Energy B. Daily Energy Cycle
C. Change Your Habits D. Temperature and Energy Peak

学习啦在线学习网 BEIJING —Eating at a Beijing restaurant is usually an adventure for foreigners, and particularly when they get the chance to order “chicken without sex life” or “red burned lion head”.
Sometimes excited but mostly confused, embarrassed or even terrified, many foreigners have long complained about mistranslations of Chinese dishes. And their complaints are often valid, but such an experience at Beijing’s restaurants will apparently soon be history.
学习啦在线学习网 Foreign visitors will no longer, hopefully, be confused by oddly worded restaurant menus in the capital if the government’s plan to correctly translate 3,000 Chinese dishes is a success and the translations are generally adopted.
The municipal(市政的)office of foreign affairs has published a book to recommend English translations of Chinese dishes, which aims to help restaurants avoid confusing translations.“It provides the names of main dishes of famous Chinese cuisines in plain English,”an official with the city’s Foreign Affairs office said. Restaurants are encouraged to use the proposed translations, but it will not be compulsory. It’s the city’s latest effort to bridge the culture gap for foreign travelers in China.
学习啦在线学习网 Coming up with precise translations is a daunting task, as some Chinese culinary(烹饪的)techniques are untranslatable and many Chinese dishes have no English-language equivalent(对应词). The translators, after conducting a study of Chinese restaurants in English-speaking countries, divided the dish names into four categories: ingredients, cooking method, taste and name of a person or a place. For some traditional dishes, pinyin, the Chinese phonetic system, is used, such as mapo tofu (previously often literally translated as “bean curd made by woman with freckles”), baozi (steamed stuffed bun) and jiaozi (dumplings) to “reflect the Chinese cuisine culture,” according to the book.
“The book is a blessing to tourist guides like me . Having it, I don’t have to rack my brains trying to explain Chinese dishes to foreign travelers,” said Zheng Xiaodong, a 31- year – old employee with a Beijing-based travel agency.
It is not clear if the book will be introduced to other parts of China. But on Tuesday, this was the most discussed topic on weibo.com, China’s most popular micro blogging site.
学习啦在线学习网 63. “chicken without sex life” or “red burned lion head” are mentioned in the beginning of the passage to show__________.
A. some Chinese dishes are mistranslated.
B . some Chinese dishes are hard to translate.
C. some Chinese dishes are not well received.
D. some Chinese dishes are not acceptable.
学习啦在线学习网 64. What measure has the municipal office taken?
学习啦在线学习网 A. Recommending a book on Chinese dishes
B. Publishing a book on China’s dietary habits
C. Advocating using precise translation for Chinese dishes
D. Providing the names of main Chinese dishes
学习啦在线学习网 65. What’s the meaning of the underlined word “daunting” in paragraph 5?
学习啦在线学习网 A. disappointing B. discouraging C. confusing D. worthwhile
学习啦在线学习网 66. What’s the attitude of most people to the book according to the passage?
学习啦在线学习网 A. unconcerned B. excited C. divided D. favorable

It’s wrongly spread that colds are caused by cold. Actually, they are not. They are caused by viruses passing on from person to person. You catch a cold by coming into contact, directly or indirectly, with someone who already has one. If cold causes colds, it would be reasonable to expect the Eskimos to suffer from them forever. But they do not. And in isolated Arctic regions explorers have reported being free from colds until coming into contact again with infected people from the outside world by way of packages and mail dropped from airplanes.
During the First World War, soldiers who spent long periods in the trenches(战壕), cold and wet, showed no increased tendency to catch colds. In the Second World War, prisoners at the notorious Auschwitz Concentration Camp(奥斯维辛集中营), naked and starving, were astonished to find that they seldom had colds.
At the Common Cold Research Unit in England, volunteers took part in experiments in which they gave themselves to the discomforts of being cold and wet for long stretches of time. After taking hot baths, they put on bathing suits, allowed themselves to be with cold water, and then stood about dripping wet in drafty (通风的)room. Some wore wet socks all day while others exercised in the rain until close to exhaustion. Not one of the volunteers came down with a cold unless a cold virus was actually dropped in his nose.
学习啦在线学习网 If, then, cold and wet have nothing to do with catching colds, why are they more frequent in the winter? Despite the most pains-taking research, no one has yet found the answer. One explanation offered by scientists is that people tend to stay together indoors more in cold weather than at other times, and this makes it easier for cold viruses to be passed on.
No one has yet found a cure for the cold. There are drugs and pain suppressors(止痛片) such as aspirin, but all they do is to relieve the symptoms.
学习啦在线学习网 67. The writer offered _______ examples to support his argument.
A.3 B. 4 C. 5 D. 6
68. Which of the following does not agree with the chosen passage?
A. Colds are not caused by cold.
学习啦在线学习网 B. The Eskimos suffer from colds all the time.
学习啦在线学习网 C. People suffer from colds just because they like to stay indoors.
D. A person may catch a cold by touching someone who already had one.
学习啦在线学习网 69. Arctic explorers may catch colds when ________.
A. they are coming into touch again with the outside world.
B. they are writing reports in terribly cold weather.
C. they are allowed to be with cold water.
D. they are working in the isolated Arctic regions.
70. Th e passage mainly discusses ________.
学习啦在线学习网 A. the experiments on the common cold .
B. the reason and the way people catch cold.
C. the mistaken belief about the common cold.
D. the continued spread of common cold.

学习啦在线学习网 It was a bad time for me . I was low emotionally and tired physically. Probably because of this I hadn’t shaved for a few days. Also, because I had been doing some repairs at my daughter’s house, I was dressed quite scruffily. Boarding the bus to go home I saw it was almost full so I found a rail to lean against.
That was when a young woman, sitting with her child, stood up and offered me her seat. “Wow !” I thought. Out loud I said, “Do I look that old and tired?” She replied,” You look like you’ve had a tough day.” I thanked her sincerely and stayed standing.
A moment later a man rose from his seat at the back of the bus and made his way towards me, squeezing past several people on the way. Then he told me about his addiction problems, asked for my advice, and just chatted about life for a few minutes. Then he went back to his seat. Very random!
Watching him go, I also looked at the bus-load of people between me and his seat. He hadn’t chosen to talk to those strangers. He chose to talk to this stranger, for whatever it meant to him and whatever comfort it brought him. Why?
That’s when it occurred to me. I must have looked like I had been where he was. I probably looked like a man who would understand a difficult life. I was humbled and uplifted at the same time by the realization that even when we are at our lowest we can still help others—if we look like we might be able to meet them where they live or walk a while in their world.

学习啦在线学习网 Imagine that 7 out of 10 working Americans got fired tomorrow. What would they all do? It’s hard to believe it would happen. But that is what the industrial revolution did to the labor force of the early 19th century.
Two hundred years ago, 70 percent of American workers lived on the farm. Today automation(自动化) has eliminated all but one percent of their jobs, replacing them with machines. But these workers did not sit, doing nothing. Instead, automation created hundreds of millions of jobs in completely new fields. Those who once farmed were then working in factories that produced farm equipment, cars, and other industrial products.
It may be hard to believe, but before the end of this century, 70 percent of today’s jobs will likely be replaced by automation. Yes, dear reader, even you will have your job taken away by machines. In other words, robot replacement is just a matter of time, First, speedy robots being able to lift 150 pounds all day long will carry boxes, sort them, and load them onto trucks. Fruit and vegetable picking will continue to be robotized until no humans pick outside of specialty farms. Next, The work of cleaning in offices and schools will be taken over by late-night robots. The trucks will be driven by robots.
We need to let robots take over. They will do jobs we have been doing, and do them much better than we can. They will do jobs we can’t do at all. They will do jobs we never imagined even needed to be done, and they will help us discover new jobs for ourselves and new tasks that expand who we are. They will let us focus on becoming more human than we were.
学习啦在线学习网 28. What happened in the early 19th century?
A. Some working Americans in factories got fired.
学习啦在线学习网 B. Jobless workers had no choice but to sit there doing nothing at all.
学习啦在线学习网 C. Many American workers had to leave factories to work on the farm.
D. The industrial revolution caused many Americans to lose their jobs.
学习啦在线学习网 29. How does the author support the underlined statement in Paragraph 3?

C. By following the order of time. D. By explaining cause and effect.
学习啦在线学习网 30. How does the author feel about robots taking over our jobs?
A. Afraid. B. Happy. C. Puzzled. D. Angry.
31. What does the author want to tell us in the text ?
A. Why robots should take over our jobs.

C. The industrial revolution led to the automation.
学习啦在线学习网 D. Robots will do more things for us to live better.

In business, there's a speed difference: It's the difference between how important a firm's leaders say speed is to their competitive(竞争的) strategy(策略) and how fast the company actually moves. The difference is important regardless of industry and company size. Companies fearful of losing their competitive advantage spend much time and money looking for ways to pick up the speed.
学习啦在线学习网 In our study of 343 businesses, the companies that chose to go, go, go to try to gain an edge ended up with lower sales and operating incomes than those that paused at key moments to make sure they were on the right track. What's more, the firms that “slowed down to speed up” improved their top and bottom lines, averaging 40% higher sales and 52% higher operating incomes over a three-¬year period.
How did they disobey the laws of business physics, taking more time than Competitors yet performing better? They thought differently about what “slower” and “faster” mean. Firms sometimes fail to understand the difference between operational speed (moving quickly) and strategic speed (reducing the time it takes to deliver value).Simply increasing the speed of production, for example, may be one way to try to reduce the speed difference. But that often leads to reduced value over time, in the form of lower¬-quality products and services.
In our study, higher ¬performing companies with strategic speed always made changes when necessary. They became more open to ideas a nd discussion. They encouraged new ways of thinking. And they allowed time to look back and learn. By contrast (相比而言), performance suffered at firms that moved fast all the time, paid too much attention to improving efficiency, stuck to tested methods, didn't develop team spirit among their employees, and had little time thinking about changes.
Strategic speed serves as a kind of leadership. Teams that regularly take time to get things right, rather than plough ahead full bore, are more successful in meeting their business goals. That kind of strategy must come from the top.
学习啦在线学习网 32.What does the underlined part “gain an edge” in Paragraph 2 mean?
A. Increase the speed. B. Get an advantage.
C. Reach the limit. D. Set a goal.
学习啦在线学习网 33.The underlined part “the laws of business physics” in Paragraph 3 means ________.
A. spending more time and performing worse B. spending more time and performing better
C. spending less time and performing worse D. spending less time and performing better
34.What can we learn from the text?
A. How fast a firm moves depends on how big it is.
B. How competitive a firm is depends on what it produces.
学习啦在线学习网 C. Firms guided by strategic speed take time to make necessary changes.
D. Firms guided by operational speed take time to develop necessary team spirit.
35.Which could be the best title for the text?
A. Improve quality? Serve better. B. Deliver value? Plough ahead.
学习啦在线学习网 C. Reduce time? Move faster. D. Need speed? Slow down.

It knows how to find beehives but it can’t open them and get the grubs.People like to eat honey，but they aren’t very good at finding beehives. 38 The bird flies to a beehive and people follow it. When the people open the beehive and take the honey, they give the grubs to the bird.
In Laguna in the south of Brazil，fishermen and dolphins work as a team.The ocean isn’t very clean，so the fishermen can’t see the fish. 39 When the dolphins find a large group of fish，they make a noise to tell the fishermen.Then the dolphins push the fish to the beach.The fishermen wait in the water near the beach and catch a lot of fish in their nets.The fishermen’s nets make it easier for the dolphins to catch fish too.In Laguna，fishermen and dolphins have been working together for many years. 40 Meanwhile，the dolphins must be happy to help because they teach their babi es how to work with the humans!

学习啦在线学习网 Dear teachers and schoolmates,it’s a great pleasure for me to be here today and share my experience of learning English with you.I’m interested in English,and hope to be an interpreter in the future.Naturally,it’s very important for me to learn English well.As everybody knows,vocabulary is an important part of language,just like bricks in a building.I usually memorize twenty new words a day and put them to use whenever possible.After class,I often listen to English programs on TV and on the radio.

二、阅读理解(共15小题;共30分)
A
I went to Arizona earlier this month to see what the college of the future might look like. What I found is an exciting new era of higher education that will help more students get a great, personalized education at an affordable price.
学习啦在线学习网 This future may not always include the lecture halls, dormitories, and other features of the traditional college experience. Instead, the colleges I visited are experimenting with ways for students to get their degrees online, allowing them to take courses any place and at any time.
学习啦在线学习网 These “colleges without walls,” as they are sometimes called, are at the forefront of the effort to broaden access to higher education, especially for low-income students with full-time jobs and families. During my visit, I heard encouraging stories of students who were taking advantage of these flexible learning models to pursue degrees that could put them on paths to new careers.
学习啦在线学习网 One of those students was Shawn Lee. He had a compelling story: After dropping out of college decades ago, he found himself in a series of low-paying, often back-breaking jobs. He recently decided to get his degree when he had his first child and wanted to start building a better life.
Tucked away in an industrial park in Tempe, Rio Salado didn’t look much like a traditional institute of higher education. There were no students running to class. Just a couple of glass-faced office buildings. The college had just 22 full-time faculty serving 60,000 students, with more than half of them attending classes online.
Several students I met during my visit said they liked learning online. “I’ve taken college classes in a big auditorium with herds of people. There was no personal connection,” one student said. “Now I can reach my teacher with the click of a mouse.”
After several days’ visit, I left Arizona feeling quite optimistic about what the future holds for higher education.
学习啦在线学习网 21. What does “colleges without walls” in the third paragraph refer to?
学习啦在线学习网 A. Colleges that have no walls around. B. Colleges that students attend online .
学习啦在线学习网 C. Colleges that can be entered freely. D. Colleges that give students more freedom.
学习啦在线学习网 22. What made Shawn Lee return to attend college again ?
学习啦在线学习网 A. That he has nothing to do. B. That he couldn’t find a job.
C. That the cost of the college is low. D. That he wanted to find a better job.
23. How did the writer feel after the visit ?

Children' s lives have changed greatly over the last 50 years. But do they have a happier childhood than you or I did?
学习啦在线学习网 It's difficult to look back on one's own childhood without some element of nostalgia(怀旧的). I have four brothers and sisters, and my memories are all about being with them, playing board games on the living room floor, or spending days in the street with the other neighborhood children, racing up and down on our bikes, or exploring the nearby woods. My parents scarcely appear in these memories, except as providers either of meals or of severe blame after some particularly risky adventure.
学习啦在线学习网 These days, in the UK at least, the nature of childhood has changed dramatically. Firstly, families are smaller, and there are far more only children. It is common for both parents to work outside the home and there is the feeling that there just isn't time to bring up a large family, or that no one could possibly afford to have more than one child. As a result, today's boys and girls spend much of their time alone. Another major change is that youngsters today tend to spend a huge amount of their free time at home, inside. More than anything this is due to the fact that parents worry far more than they used to about real or imagined dangers, so they wouldn't dream of letting their children play outside by themselves.
学习啦在线学习网 Finally, the kind of toys children have and the way they play is totally different. Computer and video games have replaced the board games and more interesting activities of my childhood. The irony(令人啼笑皆非的事情) is that so many ways of playing games are called “interactive”. The fact that you can play electronic games on your own further increases the sense of loneliness felt by many young people today.
学习啦在线学习网 Do these changes mean that children today have a less relaxing childhood than I had? I personally believe that they do, but perhaps every generation feels exactly the same.
25. What is the purpose of the direct question given in the first paragraph?
学习啦在线学习网 A. To show who the passage is written for.
学习啦在线学习网 B. To gather people's opinions on childhood.
C. To get people's attention and lead in the topic.
D. To compare the childhood lives of two generations.
26. Which is NOT a reason for the changes?
学习啦在线学习网 A. Families are smaller today.
学习啦在线学习网 B. It's too dangerous to play outside.
C. Toys can be played by children alone at home.
学习啦在线学习网 D. Parents worried too much about their children.
27. What has the writer focused on in the fourth paragraph?
学习啦在线学习网 A. Young people today shouldn't play electronic games.
学习啦在线学习网 B. Computer and video games have replaced the board games.
C. Some games that young people play today aren't really good.
D. Board games are much more interesting than computer games.
28. The writer's attitude towards the childhood changing is .
A. approving B. objective C. unconcerned D. optimistic

学习啦在线学习网 Can eating a chocolate bar every day really prevent age-related memory loss? No. But a new research shows that large amounts of flavones(黄酮类) substances found in cocoa, tea and some kinds of vegetables, may improve age-related memory failure.
学习啦在线学习网 Dr. Scott Small is a professor of neurology at Columbia University in New York City. He is the lead writer of a research paper describing the effects of cocoa flavones on brain activity. His study involved 37 volunteers aged between 50 and 69. Researchers gave them a high-level flavones drink made from cocoa beans or a low-level flavones drink. For a period of three months, some subjects got 900 milligrams of flavones a day. The others got 10 milligrams of flavones each day. Brain imaging and memory tests were given to each study subject before and after the study. Dr. Small says that the subjects who had the high-level flavones drink showed much improvement on memory tests.
学习啦在线学习网 The researchers warn that more work is needed to be done because this study was performed only on a small group. Dr. Joann Manson is the lead researcher of a four-year study involving 18,000 adults. This study will use flavones capsules(胶囊). The study subjects will be divided into two groups and will take two pills per day. The capsules used will all look the same. But one group's capsules will contain flavones, while the other group will take capsules made of an inactive substance, or placebo.
Dr. Manson says it's not necessary for people to start eating more chocolate, because a person would have to eat a huge amount of chocolate to get the same level of flavones given to the lest subjects. He adds many manufacturers have planned to remove the flavones from their chocolate products. Similarly, Dr. Manson says a cocoa-based flavones extract (提取) may be developed in the future. But he says that more studies are needed to see how much flavones is good for our health.
32. What was done to the subjects after Dr. Small's study?
A. They were asked to take a high-level flavones drink.
学习啦在线学习网 B. They were given capsules containing flavones.
C. They were given brain imaging and memory tests.
D. They were asked to take two pills of flavones capsules per day.
33. What's the similarity of the 2 experiments?
A. Both use high-level flavones capsules.
学习啦在线学习网 B. The number of the subjects is the same.
C. Drinks and placebos are used in both experiments.
学习啦在线学习网 D. The subjects are divided into two groups in both experiments.
34. Why will Dr. Manson carry out the four-year study?
学习啦在线学习网 A. To prove the first experiment is wrong.
B. To carry out the experiment further.
学习啦在线学习网 C. To test how much flavones can improve our memory.
D. To show eating chocolate is better to improve memory.
学习啦在线学习网 35. What can we learn from the last paragraph?
学习啦在线学习网 A. It's not necessary for us to eat chocolate.
学习啦在线学习网 B. The more we eat flavones, the better our health will be.
C. In the future we can get flavones without eating chocolate.
学习啦在线学习网 D. It's easy for people to get the same level of flavones given to the test subjects.
