It is said that elephants can get drunk by eating the fermented (发酵) fruit rotting on the ground. Books have even been written to prove the truth of the phenomenon. But a study published in the journal Physiological and Biochemical Zoology tells a very different story. Steve Morris, a biologist at the University of Bristol in England and an author of the study, says there is nothing in the biology of either the African elephant or the marula fruit to support the stories. Morris says, “ people just want to believe in drunken elephants.”The marula tree, a member of the same family as the mango, grows widely in Africa. Its sweet, yellow fruit is used for making jam, wine and beer. “The first mistake of the drunken-elephant theory is that its unlikely that an elephant would eat the fruit if it were rotten, ” Morris says. “Elephants eat the fruit right off the tree, not when its rotten on the ground, ” he explains. Other experts add that if an elephant were to eat the fruit on the ground, it wouldnt wait for the fruit to ferment. Michelle Gadd, an African wildlife specialist, says that elephants and many other animals, including birds and monkeys, are too fond of marula fruit to let it rot. If fermented fruit on the ground is out of the question, so is the notion that the fruit could ferment in the stomach of elephants, according to the study authors. Food takes between 12 and 46 hours to pass through an elephants digestive system, the authors point out, which is not enough for the fruit to ferment. Supposing that this happened, its still highly improbable that the food would produce enough alcohol to make an elephant drunk. Through calculations of body weight, elephant digestion rates, and other factors, the authors conclude that it would take about 1.9 litres of ethanol(乙醇) to make an elephant drunk.56. We can learn from the passage that _. A. it is not easy to find marula fruit in the wild in Africa B. African elephants dont like to eat marula fruit at all C. marula fruit can be made into food or drink consumed by people D. birds and monkeys in Africa like to eat rotten marula fruit 57. According to Paragraph 6, marula fruit is likely to ferment _. A. in about 12 hours B. in about 34 hours C. between 12 and 46 hours D. in more than 46 hours 58. According to Mr. Morris, which of the following is TRUE? A. Elephants just eat the fruit right off the tree. B. Elephants will not eat the fruit which is rotten. C. The marula tree and the mango belong to different families.D. There are several connections between Elephants and the marula fruit.59. What does the underlined word “this” in the last paragraph probably refer to ? A. Elephants getting drunk. B. Marula fruit fermenting in elephants stomachs. C. Elephants eating rotten marula fruit. D. Elephants eating marula trees directly. B FroliCat DartWhile cats require less attention compared to dogs, that doesnt mean you can just leave them at home all day long.

Australia D Singapore CA new oral medication to treat patients in the early stages of multiple sclerosis(多发性硬化) has shown considerable promise in two clinical trials, researchers announced on Wednesday. The medication is on track to become just the third oral drug available to M.S. patients, and potentially the safest and most effective, experts said. The second oral drug, called Aubagio, was approved just last week. The new trials, published online in The New England Journal of Medicine, found that the drug BG-12, developed by Biogen Idec, reduced relapsing M.S rates(旧病复发率)in patients by about 50 percent. The drug also obviously reduced the frequency of new brain damage , and slowed the progression of disease compared with a placebo(安慰剂). In the two clinical trials, called Define and Confirm, patients were divided into two groups at random, taking 240 milligrams of BG-12 either twice or three times a day. Patients in a third group took a placebo. The combined results showed that the drug reduced the relapse rate by about 50 percent. Taking BG-12 twice a day reduced the number of newly enlarging brain damages by 71 percent to 99 percent. The Define trial found a statistically significant 38 percent reduction in the progression to disability. The most frequent side effects were a temporary flushing(脸红)and warm feeling and other symptoms including nausea, diarrhea, cramping and vomiting. Though both types of side effects were common, they tended to reduce after the first few weeks of use and were tolerated by most patients. However, Interferons, the drugs most commonly used in relapsing M.S., reduce relapses by about 30 percent, and have not been shown to slow the progression of the disease and disability. The newly approved Aubagio also reduces relapses by about 30 percent, and it has the advantage of being an oral drug. BG-12 is an anti-inflammatory that works by protecting nerves against injury. “The safety track record is well known and appears to be very strong,” said Dr. Robert Fox, lead author of one of the new studies and medical director of the Mellen Center for Multiple Sclerosis Treatment.“Its a bright day for M.S. patients, but there is a gray cloud in that we still dont have anything for those with progressive M.S.,” he added.63. Which of the following is NOT the function of BG-12? A. It can slow the progression to disability significantly. B. It can reduce relapses rates in patients with relapsing M.S. C. It can decrease the number of brain damages caused by M.S. D. It can make patients excited and ensure patients have a warm feeling. 64. What can you infer from the underlined sentence in the last paragraph? A. BG-12 can relieve the pain from the patients suffering from M.S. B. There is hope but still a long way to find a cure for progressive M.S.C. Scientists can not invent medication for patients with progressive M.S.D. Patients in the early stages of M.S will still suffer a lot in the future.65. Which can be the best title for the text? A. Advantages of BG-12 B. Good news for the patientsC. Comparisons between three drugs D. A new oral medication for the early M.S. DJoanne Rowling, born on 31 July 1965, is an English fiction writ
