9、Caribbean Coast, 23. Where may the text be found?A. A science report. B. A sport journal. C. A travel magazine. D. A museum brochure. BA new report connects eating eggs to an increased risk of heart disease. The results follow several earlier studies that found eating eggs was generally healthy. The

10、 study collects data from six other earlier studies. It shows a 6 percent increased risk of heart disease when the number of eggs a person ate each day increased by half an egg.Norrina Allen, an associate professor at Northwestern University said that, in the United States, eggs are generally one of

11、 the top sources of cholesterol（膽固醇）in a persons daily food. People with higher levels of cholesterol in their food are at increased risk of the development of heart disease later in life. However, Allen added that she would not say that eggs are completely unhealthy. “Im not saying that people shou

12、ld take them completely out of their food,” she said. “Im just suggesting that people eat them in a proper amount.”Some experts believe the new study does not prove that eggs are causing heart disease. “Cholesterols role in the development of heart disease has been discussed for more than 30 years,”

13、 said Bruemmer, an associate professor of medicine at the University of Pittsburgh Medical Center. “This study does have clear shortcomings, including self-reporting at a single time point,” he added.Bruemmer said, “Eggs in moderation（適度）are probably acceptable from a nutritional standpoint.” “Moder

14、ation,” he added, “is less than one egg a day, including eggs in foods such as bread”. Holly Andersen, a doctor at the NewYork-Presbyterian/Weill Cornell Medical Center, agrees that the study has “real shortcomings”. One problem Andersen has with the study is that a lot of the egg-eating people in t

15、he study also appeared to be eating much meat and processed meat. “If youre taking a lot of processed meat, it doesnt matter how many eggs youre eating,” Andersen said.Also, Andersen said, “The study can only show there is a relation between eggs eating and heart disease. But it cannot prove eggs ar

16、e the cause of the disease. It may just be that people eating a lot of eggs are also taking a lot of bacon.” 24. What does Norrina Allen agree with?A. Eggs are completely unhealthy. B. Eggs contain the most cholesterol.C. Eggs should be eaten in a right amount. D. Eggs have no connection with heart

17、disease.25. What is Bruemmers attitude towards the study?A. Interested. B. Doubtful. C. Concerned. D. Hopeful.26. What can we learn from Holly Andersens words?A. Eggs and meat cannot be eaten together. B. Processed meat may cause heart disease.C. Processed meat should be avoided. D. The study is sup

18、ported by evidence.27. Whats the best title of the text?A. Do eggs cause heart disease? B. Are eggs the top source of cholesterol?C. Whats the proper amount of eggs eaten? D. Is the cholesterol to blame for heart disease?CThe measure of a good nights sleep is usually based on two thingsthe amount of

19、 time spent sleeping and the quality of that sleep. But now researchers say there is a third thing that matters even more than the other two when it comes to keeping good sleep habits, and that is having a regular bedtime. A study has found that going to sleep and waking up at the same time every da

20、y have an important effect on ones health. Adults who stick to a regular bedtime tend to weigh less, have lower blood sugar and reduced risk of heart disease. The researchers studied the sleeping habits of 2, 000 adults with an average age of 69. They found that people with greater irregularity(無規律)

21、 in their sleep patterns tended to go to sleep later at night, feel sleepy and sleep more during the day, and experienced reduced light exposure. These people were also more likely to be stressed. Among the three kinds of sleep problems, sleep regularity was the most strongly associated with health.

22、 Of course, there are many people for whom this may be impossible, such as night-shift workers or those with late-night duty. But for those who dont have mandatory (強制的) reasons to stay up late, they should make an effort to go to bed at the same time every night. Skip the late afternoon coffee. Get

23、 off the phone. Try this calculator to figure out the best bedtime. As Matthew Walker, a scientist, wrote, “The shorter your sleep, the shorter your life.” Surely thats reasonable enough to go to bed on time.What can we infer from the research?AThe older you are, the more stressed you feel. BPoor sl

24、eep has a lot to do with our health.CThe old often have less sleep. DAdults enjoy sleeping late.29. According to the author, which of the following helps us have a good sleep?ALosing weight. BExperiencing more light exposure.CGiving up coffee in the late afternoon. DFiguring out the amount of time s

25、pent sleeping.30. Why are Matthew Walkers words mentioned?ATo remind us how to live a better life. BTo present disadvantages of sleeping late.CTo show the importance of the good sleep. DTo tell us how long we should sleep every day.31. Whats the best title for the text?AThe Importance of Sleep. BSti

26、ck to a Regular Bedtime.CWays to Have a Good Sleep. DThe Suitable Time for Sleep.DHaving experienced a shocking electrical accident, which caused him to become both blind and deaf, James Francos world became completely dark and quiet for almost ten years. The loss of sight and hearing threw him into

27、 such sorrow that he tried a few times to put an end to his life.

29、ranco came running up to him, shouting to their neighbors to call for help, he could see her and hear her voice for the first time in nearly ten years.The news of James regaining his sight and hearing quickly spread and many doctors came to examine him. Most of them said that he regained his sight a

30、nd hearing from the shock he got from the lightning. However, none of them could give a compellent answer as to why this should happen. The only reasonable explanation given by one doctor was that, since James lost his sight and hearing as a result of a sudden shock, perhaps, the only way for him to

31、 regain them was another sudden shock.32. The reason why James attempted to kill himself was that _.A. a terrible electrical accident happened to him B. nobody in the whole world cared about himC. he was struck by the lightning once more D. he had to live in a dark and silent world33.

C 細節理解題。根據第二段中的 “just suggesting that people eat them in a proper amount”可知，Norrina Allen 并不認為人們不應該吃雞蛋，而是應該適量吃。25. B 觀點態度題。根據第三段中的“This study does have clear shortcomings, including self-reporting a

58、t a single time point,” he added可知，這項研究有明顯的缺點，所以Bruemmer對這個研究持懷疑態度。26. B 推理判斷題。根據第五段中的“If youre taking a lot of processed meat, it doesnt matter how many eggs youre eating,” Andersen said以及最后一段可知，如果吃了大量加工過的肉類，吃雞蛋對心臟病的影響就可以忽略不計了，因此，加工過的肉類有可能引起心臟病。27. A 標題判斷題。文章在第一段提出，新的研究結果表明，吃雞蛋與心臟病風險的增加有聯系，接下來文章列舉了

59、一些科學家的觀點，說明了這項研究并不能證明雞蛋會引起心臟病，因此A項最適合作標題。C篇 說明文。研究表明，除了睡眠時間和睡眠質量外，規律的就寢時間對于睡眠質量起著很重要的作用。28B 推理判斷題。根據第二段內容 “一項研究發現，每天在同一時間睡覺和起床對一個人的健康有重要的影響。堅持有規律的就寢時間的成年人往往體重更輕，血糖更低，患心臟病的風險也更低?！笨芍卟缓门c我們的健康有很大關系。29C 細節理解題。根據倒數第二段關鍵句“But for those who dont have mandatory reasons to stay up late, they should make an

60、 effort to go to bed at the same time every night. Skip the late afternoon coffee.”可知，傍晚不喝咖啡幫助我們建立良好的睡眠。30C 推理判斷題。根據最后一段內容可知，作者引用Matthew Walker的話是為了表示良好睡眠的重要性。31B 主旨大意題。根據文章第一段關鍵句“But now researchers say there is a third thing that matters even more than the other two when it comes to keeping good s
