High levels of chocolate consumption might be associated with a one third reduction in the risk of developing heart disease, suggests a study published online in the British Medical Journal． The findings confirm results of existing studies that generally agree on a potential beneficial link between chocolate consumption and heart health． However, the authors stress that further studies are needed to test whether chocolate actually causes this reduction or if it can be explained by some other unmeasured factor．The World Health Organization predicts that by 2030, nearly 236 million people will die from heart disease． However, lifestyle and dict are key 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 antioxidant 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 existing evidence to evaluate the effects of eating chocolate on cardiovascular（心血管）events like heart attack and stroke．They analyzed the results of seven studies, involving over 100, 000 participants with and without existing 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 link between higher levels of chocolate consumption and the risk 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 stroke 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 to weight gain, risk of diabetes and heart disease．However, they conclude that given the health benefits of dating chocolate, initiatives to reduce the current fat and sugar content in most chocolate products should be explored．（1） Which statement is NOT true according to the passage？________A There used to be studies about the beneficial link between chocolate consumption and heart health．B Millions of people will die from heart disease according to the WHO． D There is clear evidence about how eating chocolate affects your heart．（2） What are the possible causes of heart disease ？________A Eating chocolate．B Unhealthy diet．C Exercising regularly．D Drinking coffee．（3） What's the authors' attitude towards the findings？________A cautious．B doubtful．C disapproving．D negative．（4） What can be inferred from the last paragraph？________A We should eat less chocolate．B Chocolate benefits our health．C We should consider the fat and sugar problem．D Eating chocolate will lead to fat gain naturally．4. Frauds （诈骗犯）play complex psychological tricks to fool others, says Colin Barras． And that means anyone can be cheated unless they know what to look for．None of us likes to be cheated． and David Modic has done some researches on it． It's the personal passion that has convinced Modic to study the psychology of cheating． He's not alone: the field is thriving, and the information that researchers are uncovering is ）valuable to us all﹣from those single in search of love to the technology wizards （人才） in charge of the world's online security．Modic is particularly interested in w hat makes people easy to fraud． It's common to imagine that only the foolish or poorly educated might fall victim but even hard evidence suggests this is not the case． Take Paul Frampton, an Oxbridge educated academic professor of physics for example． In 2012 Frampton was given almost 5years in prison for drug smuggling in Argentina, after falling victim to an online dating fraud． And then there's John Worley, As a psychotherapist, Worley knows more than most of us about controllinglife's right ways． But in 2005he was put on trial for bank fraud after becoming a victim of a fraud． This fraud sees people contacted by someone claiming to be a Nigerian government official appealing for help moving large sums of money out of the country﹣who just requires a little money upfront （预付的）to release the fortune． Worley was found guilty and sentenced to two years in prison．Intelligence and experience offer no protection against cheaters, says Modic． "If itdid, then better educated people and older people would be less likely to fall for scams（骗局）． And that is not supported by my research．"To look for answers to that question, Modic and Frank Stajano have quizzed thousands of people, asking them first whether they think various frauds are reasonable﹣and whether they have fallen victim to them﹣before asking them to perform a personality test． The research has identified a number of characteristics that people who are victims of frauds seem to in common． Some of these traits ﹣like a lack of self﹣control﹣we would probably recognize as dangerous． But others﹣a trust in authority, a desire to act in the same way as our friends, or a tendency to act in a consistent way ﹣we might think of as good characteristics．（1） According to the passage， the frauds may________．A threaten the world's online security．B play their tricks in a consistentway． C receive much education of psychology． D have high intelligence to help cheating．（2） Paragraph 3 mainly tells us that________．A who and what makes people easy to fraud．B all walks of life would be likely to fallfor scams． C the poorly educated may be easier to be cheated． D government officials should be responsible for frauds．（3） Modic and Frank Stajano's researches find out that the victims________．A often follow friends' actions．B are considered to be dangerous．C also share good characteristics．D shouldn't have a trust in authority．第二节（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自处的最佳选项．选项中有两项为多余选项．5.
