After holding his breath for as long as he could, Andy came up for air and noticed the bees had gone. Dragging himself out of the dam, he struggled up the hilly slope and rang the doorbell. Mrs. Nelson too him inside and rang his mother.“You’ll really need that fishing brea to help you recover, ” laughed his mother with relief. “Than goodness you didn’t panic!” But Andy did not hear her.

Sound lie something out of a science fiction movie? Thin again.On February 21, New ealand fishermen landed a colossal squid the length of a school bus. They had been fishing with long lines for Chilean sea bass (黑鲈) in the waters off the coast of New ealand when they caught the rare squid. With two hours of hard wor, the crew sillfully pulled the creature into a net and dragged it aboard their ship.Scientists estimate (估计) that the animal weighs about a half ton and is about 40 feet long. That wouldmae this colossal squid the biggest on record.First identified in 1925 after two tentacles were found in a whale’s stomach, the colossal squid has long been a mystery. The animals are not easy to observe because they can go down to ocean depths of 6,500 feet. What scientists do now from studying the bodies of a half doen colossal squids is that they are fierce hunters.The recently captured colossal squid has been froen to eep it for scientific study. It will be transported to New ealand’s national museum, Te Papa, in the capital city of Wellington. Eperts believe it to be the first adult male ever caught undamaged. Scientists hope to learn more about the colossal squid’s diet, behavior and reproductive (繁殖) patterns.“Scientists will be very interested in this amaing creature,” said New ealand Fisheries Minister JimA nderton. “It adds immeasurably to our understanding of the marine environment.”28、Why is it usually difficult for eperts to observe the squid?A.

However, the authors stress that further studies are needed to test whether chocolate actually causes this reduction or if it can be eplained by some other unmeasured factor.The World Health Organiation predicts that by 2030, nearly 23. 6 million people will die from heart disease. However, lifestyle and diet are ey factors in preventing heart disease, says the paper. A number of recent studies have shown that eating chocolate has a positive influence on human health due to its antioidant and anti-inflammatory properties. This includes reducing blood pressure and improving insulin sensitivity.However, the evidence about how eating chocolate affects your heart still remains unclear. So, Dr Oscar Franco and colleagues from the University of Cambridge carried out a large scale review of the eisting evidence to evaluate the effects of eating chocolate on cardiovascular(心血管) events lie heart attac and stroe.They analyed the results of seven studies, involving over 100,000 participants with and without eisting heart disease. For each study, they compared the group with the highest chocolate consumption against the group with the lowest consumption.Five studies reported a beneficial lin between higher levels of chocolate consumption and the ris of cardiovascular events. They found that the "highest levels of chocolate consumption were associated with a 37% reduction in cardiovascular disease and a 29% reduction in stroe compared with lowest levels. " No significant reduction was found in relation to heart failure.The authors say the findings need to be interpreted with caution, in particular because commercially available chocolate is very calorific (around 500 calories for every 100 grams) and eating too much of it could lead Co weight gain, ris of diabetes and heart disease.However, they conclude that given the health benefits of eating chocolate, initiatives to reduce the current fat and sugar content in most chocolate products should be eplored.32. Which statement is NOT true according to the passage?A. There used to be studies about the beneficial lin between chocolate consumption and heart health.B. Millions of people will die from heart disease according to the WHO.C. There are still other factors that may reduce the ris of heart disease.D. There is a clear evidence about how eating chocolate affects your heart.33. What are the possible causes of heart disease?A. Eating chocolateB. Unhealthy dietC. Eercising regularlyD. Drining coffee.34. What does the underlined word initiatives in the last paragraph mean?A. PlansB. NeedsC. ChocolateD. Benefits35. What can be inferred from the last paragraph?A. We should eat less chocolate.B. Chocolate benefits our healthC. We should consider the fat and sugar problem.D. Eating chocolate will lead to fat gain naturally.第二节（共5小题，每小题2分，满分10分）根据短文内容，从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项，选项中有两项为多余选项。
