AHealth experts have long worried about the increasing rate of obesity in kids. It’s an important concern: Being weight or obese during childhood can lead to serious problems normally seen in adults, such as diabetes and high blood pressure. Poor diets and a lack of exercise are usually the causes. But would you ever have imagined there might be a connection between the bacteria that lived in your guts （内脏）when you were a baby and the chance that you would become overweight?Scientists in Finland recently found just such a link. In a recent study, they showed that overweight kids had different species of bacteria living in their guts. You probably think of bacteria only as germs that can make you sick. While it’s true that some bacteria can make people ill, your body actually depends on some types of bacteria to help you digest food and extract nutrients from it. These “good”bacteria live in your guts, where they process the food you eat.Human babies get these bacterial helpers from their moms. When a baby is born, some of the bacteria in the mother move into the baby’s body. Growing babies get additional “good” bacteria from the milk their mothers produce. And it turns out the bacteria might play an important role in regulating weight just six years later.So how could these bacteria affect weight? The researchers still haven’t tested that question, but future tests might lead to an answer.21. The “link” in Paragraph 2 refers to the relationship between _______.A. bacteria and the chance of being overweightB. obesity and diabetesC. diets and the chance of being overweightD. bacteria and exercise22. Which of the following is NOT the function of “good” bacteria?A. Helping to digest food.B. Helping to take nutrients from food.C. Helping to regulate weight.D. Making a person ill.23. The purpose of writing this passage is to _______.A. introduce the role of bacteria in children’s weightB. analyze the influence of obesity on kidsC. give advice on how to lose weight quicklyD. explain the function of bacteria in foodsBAbout ten years ago, a young and very successful businessman named Josh was traveling down a Chicago neighborhood street. He was going a bit too fast in his shiny, black, 12 cylinder Jaguar XKE, which was only two months old.He was watching for kids rushing out from between parked cars and slowed down when he thought he saw something. As his car passed, no child came out, but a brick sailed out and —WHUMP! —it hit the Jag’s shiny b lack side door! SCREECH...!!!! Immediately Josh stopped the car, jumped out, seized the kid and pushed him up against a parked car. He shouted at the kid, "What was that all about and who are you? Just what the heck are you doing?!" Building up a head of s team, he went on. " That’s my new Jag, that brick you threw is gonna cost you a lot of money. Why did you throw it?""Please, mister, please....I’m sorry! I didn’t know what else to do!" begged the youngster. "I threw the brick because no one else would stop!" tears were streaming down the boy’s face as he pointed around the parked car. "It’s my brother, mister," he said. "He rolled of the curb (路沿) and fell out of his wheelchair and I can’t lift him up. "Sobbing, the boy asked the businessman," Would you please help me get him back into his wheelchair? He’s hurt and he’s too heavy for me.Moved beyond words, the young businessman tried hard to swallow the rapidly swelling lump in his throat. Straining, he lifted the young man back into the wheelchair and took out his handkerchief and wiped the scrapers and cuts, checking to see that everything was going to be OK. He then watched the younger brother push him down the sidewalk toward their home.It was a long walk back to the black, shining 12 cylinder Jaguar XKE — a long and slow walk. Josh never did fix the side door of his Jaguar. He kept the dent (凹痕) to remind him not to go through life so fast that someone has to throw a brick at him to get his attention. Feel for the bricks of life coming at you. w.w.w.k.s.5.u.c.o.m24.

In 1966, she left the program and began living with two scientists, Allen and Beatrix Gardner, who led a project to teach the chimp American Sign Language (ASL) in Washoe, Nevada, for which it was named. Washoe had been living on Central Washington University’s Ellensburg Campus since 1980. She had a vocabulary of about 250 words. Also, Washoe taught sign language to three younger chimps: Tatu, 31, Loulis, 29, and Dar, 31Primate (灵长类) researcher Jane Goodall, in Fouts’ book Next of Kin, noted the importance of the work with Washoe. “Roger, through his ongoing conversations with Washoe and her extended family, has opened a window into a chimpanzee’s mind,”Goodall said.Though previous efforts to teach chimps spoken languages had failed, the researchers believed there was a better chance using signs. But Washoe’s language skills were disputed by scientists who believed that language is unique to humans.Among those who doubted that chimps could use language were linguist (语言学家) Noam Chomsky and Harvard scientist Steven Pinker. They believed primates simply learn to perform certain acts in order to receive rewards, and do not acquire true language.28. As for its first task, Washoe was involved with _______.A. some space researchB. a study on African animalsC. an ASL projectD. the program of training the Air Force29. In Goodall’s opinion, teaching Washoe ASL ______.A. was not successfulB. led to the book Next of KinC. won honor for FoutsD. made a difference30. In the last paragraph, the underlined word “disputed” probably means “______”.A. supportedB. studiedC. questionedD. discussed31. What can be inferred from the passage?A. The ASL project was first set up in Africa for the study on Washoe.B. Washoe may communicate with other chimps by signing.C. Washoe must have been able to speak 250 words or so.D. The researchers will prove that most chimps could use language.D“Children who eat less salt and drink fewer sugar-sweetened soft drinks may significantly lower their risks of obesity,” researchers recently reported in the journal Hypertension.“Sugar-sweetened soft drinks are a significant source of calorie intake in children,” said Feng J. He, a researcher at St George’s University of London, England. “It has been shown that sugar-sweetened soft drink consumption is related to obesity in young people.” They wanted to know whether there is a link between salt intake and sugar-sweetened soft drink consumption.Dr He and colleagues analyzed data from a 1997 national survey of more than 2,000 people between 4 and 18 in Britain. “We found that children eating a lower-salt diet drank less fluid,” said He. “From our research, we estimated that 1 gram of salt cut from their daily diet would reduce fluid intake by 100 grams per day.” The researchers also found that children eating a lower-salt diet drank fewer sugar-sweetened soft drinks. From their research, they predicted that reducing salt intake by 1 gram each day would reduce sugar-sweetened soft drink consumption by 27 grams per day, after. “If children aged 4 to 18 cut their salt intake by half, there would be a decrease of about two sugar-sweetened soft drinks per week per child, so each child would decrease calorie intake by almost 250 kilocalories per week,”Dr He said.In previous studies, researchers found that a low-salt diet lowers blood pressure in children, and prevents the development of high blood pressure later inlife. “Both high blood pressure and obesity increase the risk of having strokes and heart attacks,” Dr He said.Dr He recommends that parents check labels and choose low-salt food products. “Small reductions in the salt content of 10 to 20 percent cannot be detected by the human salt taste receptors (感受器) and do not cause any technological or safety problems,” Dr He said.32. According to the passage, obesity is directly linked to ______.A. high-salt foodsB. sugar-sweetened soft drinksC. high blood pressureD. strokes and heart attacks33. Compared with previous studies, the recent one found that ______.A. a lower-salt diet may mean less sugar-sweetened soft drink consumptionB. a low-salt diet keeps children out of high blood pressureC. children face the risk of having strokes and heart attacksD. low-salt food products do not do harm to people’s health34. Which of the following statements would Dr He agree to?A. The less salt people eat, the healthier people become.B. Children should reduce fluid intake in their daily life.C. No high-salt food products will be available in shops.D. A low-salt diet may prevent both high blood pressure and obesity.35. After reading the passage, who should take effective action?A. Children.B. Parents.C. Doctors.D. Researchers.第二节（共5小题；每小题2分，满分10分）根据短文内容，从短文后的选项选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。
