more research was carried out but an analysis of sixteen different studies proved that listening to music does lead to a temporary improvement in the ability to handle shapes mentally, but the benefits are short-lived and it doesnt make us more intelligent.25. what can we learn from paragraph 1?

a. to be or not to be? b. what is the mozart effect? c. what music is beneficial? d. listening to mozart, necessary? cbritish scientists may have discovered the reason why red wine appears to protect the heart. they say natural chemicals found in red wine appear to protect against blocked blood vessels（血管）. the chemical substances are called poly-phenols（多酚）. they come from the outer covering of grapes. they are not present in other alcoholic drinks.researchers say their discovery explains why many people in southern europe can eat fatty foods and still have a low risk of heart disease. people in france, for example, have lower rates of heart disease than americans do. yet the traditional french diet includes butter, cheese and other foods high in cholesterol（胆固醇）. this led the british scientists to examine another important part of the french diet red wine. several earlier studies have suggested that people who drink proper amounts of alcohol may reduce their risk of heart disease.the british team experimented with cells from the blood vessels of cows. the scientists studied the effects of twenty-three kinds of red wine on the cow cells. they found that poly-phenols from all of the red wines stopped production of a protein called endothelin（内皮素）. this protein causes blood vessels to become smaller. scientists believe endothelin is linked to hardening of the blood vessels, which is a cause of heart disease.the scientists found that the decrease in endothelin levels was linked to the amount of poly-phenols in the wines. the british team performed similar experiments with two other kinds of wine, white and rose. these wines contain little or no poly-phenols because the grape skins are removed before the wine is made. white and rose wines had no effect on endothelin levels.the scientists also studied the effect of non-alcoholic juice made from red grapes. they found that grape juice slowed the production of endothelin, but was much less effective than the red wines.28. so far as grapes are concerned, is more effective on reducing the risk of heart disease.a. the outer part of grapesb. the inner part of grapesc. the seeds of grapesd. the juice in grapes29. what made the british scientists study another important part of the french diet?a. traditional french diet. b. lower risk of heart disease of the french.c. the reason why people drink wine. d. poly-phenols not existing in other things.30. from this passage, we may know peoples health is linked to . a. diet habits b. their genesc. their education d. living surroundings31. whats the best title for this passage? a. a healthy dietb. protecting your heart c. red wine and healthd. a study on health d sixteen years ago, tian kisch in seattle, the united states, was a chinese orphan (孤儿) before an american family adopted her. as she grew older, she wanted to make a difference for orphaned chinese children. looking at them, i know how much of a chance i had and how many opportunities were presented to me after i was adoptedits important for them to realize that the same hope exists for them too, tian saystian returned to china for the first time in 2004 after the adoptionshe went to see her foster mother, who saved her life when she was found seriously ill outside a police station in guangzhou, capital of guangdong provinceit was an experience so powerful that it drove her to seek help for chinese orphansafter the trip, i felt a strong connection and i wanted to reach out to these children, she sayschinese children remain the top choice of adoptive families in the united statesa total of 3,401 children were adopted from china in 2010, followed by 2,513 from ethiopia and 1,082 from russiato date, about 60,000 chinese children have been adopted by american families, according to the chinese embassyother statistics show that nearly 90 percent of the adopted chinese children are female, 44 percent under the age of 1 and 52 percent between 1 and 4 years oldwith many american families adopting kids from china, homeland tours are organized for the families to let the kids have a better sense of where they came from and have some understanding about their roots32we can learn from the text that tian kisch _ahad a miserable childhoodbfelt sorry to have been adoptedcwanted to bring hope to chinese orphans dwas grateful to the police33what drove tian kisch to do things for chinese orphans?athe understanding other roots bthe trip to her homelandcthe visit to a police station dthe knowledge of her birth34according to the text, in the us_amore children were adopted from china than from any other countrybthere is no idea how many chinese orphans live in the uscthe majority of the adopted chinese children are maledall adoptive families choose chinese orphans under the age of four35the adopted children join in china tours to _avisit their places of birth breunite with their birth parentscseek help for other orphans dget some idea of chinese culture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。 is technology making us unhealthy?
