　　阅读判断：‘Feed Me Better’

　　When British TV chef Jamie Oliver launched his ‘Feed Me Better’ campaign in 2004 in schools in the Greenwich area of London with the aim of improving the diet of British schoolchildren, some people were skeptical about the impact it would have. Oliver’s highly-publicized television campaign to improve school lunches led to dramatic changes in the meals offered to publics in the Greenwich schools. In order to achieve his arm Oliver needed to show schools how to swap (交换) cheap processed meals, which were high in

saturated fat (饱和脂肪) ，salt and sugar, for healthier options.

　　Now, research at the Institute for Social and Economic Research (ISER) has shown that Oliver’s experiment did not only help pupils eat more healthily, it also resulted in them performing better at school in English and Science and in helping schools reduce their rates of absenteeism (缺勤). The ISER study, carried out by Michele Belot and Jonathan James. Showed ‘substantial’ positive effects, with the performance of 11-year-old pupils eating Oliver’ meals improving by up to 8% in Science and by as much as 6% in English. In addition, the number of children having authorized absences for sickness since 2004 showed a 14% decrease.　　The ISER study analysed the academic test results of more than 13,000  children in Greenwich between 2002 and 2007 to evaluate the impact of Oliver’s healthier meals on school performance. Pupils who sat exams in 2006—2007 had been on the new diet for at least 12 months, and the researchers found that the number of pupils reaching higher levels of achievement had clearly risen. The study also compared the results of the schools in Greenwich those of pupils of the same age in seven other London areas who did not eat

the meals created by Oliver. The researchers were surprised by the speed of improvements in the Greenwich pupils. They could find no other explanation for the results expect for the healthier and more nutritious meals created by Oliver.　　Commenting on ISER’s findings, Oliver said he felt the research proved that he was right in his decision to remove fatty processed food and replace it with nutrient-rich (营养的) foods such as coconut

(椰子) ,fish and broccoli (花椰菜). He commented that ‘we could see that it made them calmer and therefore able to learn’.　　16.The ‘Feed Me Better’ campaign targeted a healthier diet at schoolchildren.　　A. right B. Wrong C.

　　概括大意与完成句子Aromatherapy(芳香疗法)

　　1 Aromatherapy is a form of alternative medicine which is based on the use of very concentrated essential oils from the flowers, leaves, bark, branches or roots of plants which are considered to have healing properties. In aromatherapy these powerful oils are mixed with other oils, such as almond(杏仁)oil, or they are diluted(稀释)with water. These solutions(溶液剂)can be rubbed on the skin,

sprayed in the air, or applied as a compress(敷药)。　　2 Many people have aromatherapy massages(按摩),and depending on the treatment a person is having, the aromatherapist will massage the oil into the hands or shoulders. The massage is smooth and flowing, as it is designed to create a sense of relaxation and calm. The sessions are tailored to the individual's health and mood at the time, so every session is unique.　　3 Practitioners of aromatherapy believe that the aroma of the essential oils directly stimulates the brain or that the oils are absorbed through the skin into the bloodstream, where they can affect the whole body and promote healing. Other claims in support of aromatherapy are that it aids digestion, improves the functioning of respiratory system, reduces muscular aches and pains, and promotes muscle relaxation and tone. It has also been argued that aromatherapy can improve circulation, lower blood pressure, and help combat insomnia(失眠)and other stress-related disorders such as tension headaches, anxiety, and mild depression.　　4 However, while aromatherapy may have real effects that promote a sense of well-being, some traditional medicine practitioners remain doubtful about its powers. While research has confirmed that aromatherapy does have some positive short-term effects on most people, it also suggests that aromatherapy is not an actual science or medicine that should be used to treat illness. Furthermore, not all aromatherapy is considered beneficial to health. There are precautions which should be taken before having aromatherapy because some oils can have negative effects on people with certain medical conditions. The study of aromatherapy is relatively new and unexplored. More research needs to be conducted to make scientific conclusions about its use and effects.　　23. Paragragh1 (B)　　24. Paragragh2 (C)

　　25. Paragragh3 (D)　　26. Paragragh4 (A)　　A. Doubts about the benefits aromatherapy　　B. Introduction to aromatherapy　　C. Personalized aromatherapy massage　　D. Different views about aromatherapy　　E. Aromatherapy and conventional medicine　　F. Current research into aromatherapy　　27. Aromatherapy is a mixture oil from parts of the plants to (A)　　28. The sessions of aromatherapy massages are designed to (F)　　29. Aromatherapy is believed to (B) in various ways　　30.

A New Strategy to Overcome Breast Cancer

　　Post-menopausal(绝经后)women who walk for an hour a day can cut their chance of breast cancer significantly, a study has suggested. The report , which followed 73,000 women for 17 years, found walking for at least seven hours a week lowered the risk of the disease. The American Cancer Society team said this was the first time reduced risk was specifically linked to walking. UK experts said it was more evidence that lifestyle influenced cancer risk.　　A recent poll for the charity Ramblers a quarter of adults walk for no more than an hour a week, but being active is known to reduce the risk of a number of cancers. This study, published in Cancer Epidemiology, Biomarkers & Prevention, followed 73.615 women out of97,785 aged 50-74 who had been recruited by the American Cancer Society between1992 and 1993,so it could monitor the incidence of cancer in the group.

　　They were asked to complete questionnaires on their health and on how much time they were active and participating in activities such as walking, swimming and aerobics(有氧运动)and how much time they spent sitting watching television or reading. They completed the same questionnaires at two-year intervals between 1997 and 2009.Of thewomen,47% said walking was their only recreational activity. Those who walked for at least seven hours per week had a 14% lower risk of breast cancer compared to those who walked three or fewer hours per week.　　Dr.Alpa Patel, a senior epidemiologist at the American Cancer Society in Atlanta, Georgia, who led the study, said:”Given that more than 60% of women report some daily walking, promoting walking as a healthy leisure-time activity could be an effective strategy for increasing physical activity amongst post-menopausal women. We were pleased to find that without any other recreational activity, just walking one hour a day was associated with a lower risk of breast cancer in these women.””More strenuous(紧张的)and longer activities lowered the risk even more.”　　Baroness Delyth Morgan, chief executive of Breast Cancer Campaign, said:”This study adds further evidence that our lifestyle choices can play a part in influencing the risk of breast cancer and even small changes incorporate into our normal day-to-day activity can make a difference.”　　She added:”We know that the best weapon to overcoming breast cancer is the ability to stop it occurring in the first place. The challenge now is how we turn these　　findings into action and identify other sustainable lifestyle changes that will help us prevent breast cancer.”　　31. All of the following factors relating to cancer risk were mentioned in the passage EXCEPT________　　A. breathing exercise　　B. regular walking　　C. recreational activity　　D. lifestyle choices　　32. It can be inferred from Dr. Alpa Patel’s study that____.　　A. women have fewer chances of physical activity　　B. daily walking could cut the chance of breast cancer　　C. leisure-time activity is not associated with cancer risk

　　D. walking is not recommended for women with breast cancer　　33. Dr. Alpa Patel was_____.　　A. head of the survey study　　B. chief editor of Cancer Epidemiology　　C. chair of the American Cancer Society　　D. chief executive of Breast Cancer Campaign　　34. Which of the following statements is true according to the passage?　　A. Most women take walking as their only recreational activity.　　B. The study aims to track the health conditions of its subjects.　　C. Walking was the only recreational acitivity for about half of the women surveyed.　　D.

　　第二篇：　　Around 45% of the UK’s carbon dioxide emissions come from the energy people use every----at home and when they travel . In order to generate that energy, fossil fuels (coal oil, and gas) are burnt, and these produce greenhouse gases--- in particular carbon dioxide (CO2) a year, and it is the same CO2 that is changing the climate and damaging the environment.　　CO2 and various other gases wrap the earth in an invisible blanket helping to prevent heat from escaping. Without this greenhouse effect, the average temperature on Earth would be around -18℃, compared with the current average of around +15℃. The composition of this blanket of gases has remained relatively constant for many thousands of years. However, since the industrial revolution began around 200 years ago, people have been burning increasing amounts of fossil fuels, thus releasing more CO2 and

other greenhouse gases in the process. This has increased the heating effect of the blanket, trapping more of the sun’s energy inside the Earth’s atmosphere in turn the Earth’s temperature has increased more rapidly in a shorter pennd of there that it has for thousands of years.　　In 2008, the total UK CO2 emissions were 533 million tones 27% (144 million tonnes ) of those emissions came from the energy used to heat, light, and power homes. Transport emissions caused by passenger cars, buses and motorcycles accounted for a further 16% (87 million tonnes ) of the UK’s CO2 emissions. These figures show that a significant amount of CO2 results from ordinary citizens’ carbon footprint in their daily activities and lifestyle.　　The effects of climate change can be seen all around us. Weather patterns are cecoming more and more fractured and uncertain, and over the last century trends in warm weather have become increasingly common. In the UK in the last 40 years, winters have grown warmer with much heavier rainfall. One of the clearest shifts over the last 200 years is towards summers that are hotter and drier, causing pervasive water shortages. Recent years have been the hottest since records began and during August 2003 the hottest outdoor temperature in the UK was recorded ---38.5.　　36. What is the author’s main aim?　　A. To explain the greenhouse effect　　B. To describe the effects of climate change in the UK　　C. To show how much CO2 is produced by ordinary people’s activities　　D. To illustrate how industrial activity create the greenhouse effect　　37. What is the author’s opinion about the level of CO2 emissions in the UK?　　A. The majority of CO2 emissions come from motorized transport.　　B. CO2 emissions may cause climate change in the future　　C. More CO2 emissions come from homes than from cars　　D. The average citizen does not create much CO2　　38. CO2 emissions from vehicles　　A. are a more serious problem than energy shortage　　B. do not cause any problems　　C. are high because the average household owns a car

　　D. contribute considerably to greenhouse gases　　39. The results of climate change in the UK can be seen in　　A. cooler summers　　B. water supply　　C. warmer winters　　D. stronger winds　　40. Which of the following is the best title for the passage?　　A. Ways of reducing the UK’s CO2 emissions　　B. UK citizens’ carbon footprint　　C. The effect of industry on climate change in the UK　　D. Changes in weather patterns in the UK

　　第三篇：First Self-contained Heart Implanted

　　A patient on the brink of death has received the world’s first self-contained artificial heart—a battery-powered device about the size of a softball that runs without the need for wires, tubes or hoses sticking out of the chest.　　Two surgeons from the University of Louisville implanted the titanium and plastic pump during a sever-hour operation at Jewish Hospital Monday. The hospital said the patient was “awake and responsive” Tuesday and resting comfortably. It refused to release personal details.　　The patient had been expected to die within a month without the operation, and doctors said they expected the artificial heart to extend the person’s life by only a month. But the device is considered a major step toward improving the patient’s quality of life.　　The new pump, called AbioCor, is also a technological leap from the mechanical hearts used in the 1980s, which were attached by wires and tubes to bulky machinery outside the body. The most famous of those, the Jarvic-7, used air as a pumping device and was attached to an apparatus about the size of a washing machine.

　　“I think it’s potentially a major step forward in the artificial heart development,” said Dr. David Faxon, president of the

American heart Association. However, he said the dream of an implantable, permanent artificial heart is not yet a reality: “This is obviously an experimental device whose long-term success has to be demonstrated.” Only about half of the 4,200 Americans on a waiting list for donor hearts received them last year, and most of the rest died.　　Some doctors, including Robert Higgins, chairman of cardiology at the  Medical College of Virginia in Richmond, said artificial hearts are unlikely to replace donor hears.

　　“A donor heart in a good transplant can last 15 to 30 years,” he said. “It’s going to be hard to replace that with a machine.”　　41. The first two paragraphs tell that the Self-contained artificial heart　　A. was made of titanium and pump　　B. had brought the patient to the brink of death　　C. did not need to get power from outside the body　　D. was invented by two surgeous from university of Louisville　　42. According to the report, the patient who received the first self-contained heart　　A. could not afford a donor heart　　B. was said to be in a good condition the next day after the operation　　C. died two month’s after the heart implantation　　D. was reluctant to release his or her personal information　　43. We can learn from Paragraph 4 that the Jarvic-7 is　　A. the most expensive mechanical heart　　B. a mechanical heart used in the 1980s　　C. as advanced as Abiocor　　D. replacing Abiocor　　44. According to Dr. David Faxon, the self-contained heart is　　A. a milestone in the artificial heart development　　B. still in the experimental stage　　C. an implantable, permanent artificial heart　　D. unavailable to all those Americans waiting for donor hearts　　45.It can be inferred from the passage that donor heart　　A. saved the lives of about 2100 Americans the year before the report

　　B. will be replaced by self-contained artificial hearts sooner or later　　C. are more popular and cheaper than self-contained artificial hearts　　D. can help patients survive less than 15 years if they are in good transplant.

　　完形填空More about Alzheimer’s Disease【早老性痴呆研究的新进展】

　　Scientists have developed skin tests that may be used in the future to identify people with Alzheimer’s disease and may ultimately allow physicians to predict ___51___ is at risk of getting this neurological disorder.　　The only current means of ___52___ the disease in a living patient is a long and expensive series of tests that eliminate every other cause of dementia.

　　“Since Aloes Alzheimer described the ___53___ nearly a century ago, people have been trying to find a way to ___54___ diagnose it in its early stages,” said Patricia Grady, acting director of the National Institute of Neurological Disorders and Stroke in Bethesda, Maryland. “This discovery, if ___55___ , could prove a big step forward in our efforts to deal with and understand the disease.”

　　Alzheimer’s is the single greatest ___56___ of mental deterioration in older people, affecting between 2.5 million and 4 million people in the United States ___57___. The devastating disorder gradually destroys memory and the ability to function, and eventually causes death. There is currently no known ___58___ for the disease.　　Researches ___59___ that the skin cells of Alzheimer’s patients have  defects that interfere with their ability to regulate the flow of potassium in and out of the cells. The fact that the cell defects are present in the skin suggests that Alzheimer’s ___60___ from physiological changes throughout the body, and that dementia may be the first noticeable effect of these changes as the defects ___61___ the cells in the brain, scientists said.　　The flow of potassium is especially ___62___ in cells responsible for  memory formation. The scientists also found two other defects that affect the cells’ supply of calcium, another critical element.　　One test developed by researches calls ___63___ growing skin cells in a laboratory culture and then testing them with an electrical detector to  determine if the microscopic tunnels that ___64___ the flow of potassium are open. Open potassium channels create a unique electrical signature.　　A spokesman for the Alzheimer’s Association said that if the validity of the diagnostic test can be proven it would be an important ___65___, but cautioned that other promising tests for Alzheimer’s have been disappointing.　　51.
