The trial will explore whether flavonoids (类黄酮) found in chocolate and other foods can reduce the risk of heart disease. “We are looking at a high risk group first,” said Aedin Cassidy, a biochemist who will lead the study. Previous studies have suggested dark chocolate is rich in the beneficial flavonoids linked with heart health, but experts note the high sugar and fat content of most commercially available chocolate might cancel out some of the advantages. Other research has also shown dark chocolate appears to lower blood pressure, improve the function of blood vessels (血管)and reduce the risk of heart attack. This has encouraged companies to market specific products containing dark chocolate. Mars Inc has introduced Cocoa Via, a line of dark and premium chocolates that plays up such health advantages. Cassidy said her team will also publish findings in the American Journal of Clinical Nutrition showing that flavonoids found in soy and cocoa appear to have the strongest effects of reducing risk of heart disease. The next step will organize 150 women volunteers with a specific illness. The researchers will look at whether flavonoids help reduce blood pressure, cut cholesterol levels and improve the condition of blood vessels. Half the women in the year-long study will eat chocolate containing 30 grams of flavonoids found in soy, cocoa and other fruits and vegetables. The others will get chocolate without the active flavonoids. “This could help doctors give advice to patients on the type and amount of foods to eat to reduce heart disease riskand it does not necessarily need to be chocolate,” Cassidy said. “If this trial works we will be able to advise on a whole range of foods. People wont have to go around eating specially designed chocolate.”61. What is the best title for the passage?A. Volunteers wanted for chocolate study. B. Chocolate is good for health.C. A new research on heart attacks. D. Flavonoids found in chocolate.62. Whats the purpose of the trial?A. To test the advantages of a new kind of chocolate.B. To find cures for heart disease.C.

Cassidys team has done several studies on chocolateB. dark chocolate has proved beneficial to healthC. people should eat much chocolate with high sugar and fatD. most commercially available chocolate doesnt contain flavonoids64. Which of the following statements is TRUE according to the passage?A. All the volunteers will eat the same chocolate.B. CocoaVia is a company that produces dark chocolate.C. People who want to take part in the trial should be healthy.D. Soy, cocoa, some fruit and vegetables contain flavonoids. B A robotic suit that reads brain signals and helps people with mobility problems will be available to rent in Japan for $2,200 a month starting Friday an invention that may have far-reaching benefits for the disabled and elderly. HAL short for hybrid assistive limb is a computerized suit with sensors that read brain signals directing limb movement through the skin. The 22-pound battery-operated computer system is belted to the waist. It captures the brain signals and relays them to mechanical leg braces strapped to the thighs and knees, which then provide robotic assistance to people as they walk. Cyberdyne, a new company in Tsukuba outside Tokyo, will mass-produce HAL. Two people demonstrated the suits at the companys headquarters on Tuesday. A video also showed a partially paralyzed person getting up from a chair and walking slowly wearing the HAL suit. We are ready to present this to the world, said Yoshiyuki Sankai, a University of Tsukuba professor who designed HAL and has worked on robot suits since 1992 and is also Cyberdynes CEO. He said a full device that covers the entire body is also being designed, though it is unclear when it will be available in the market. HAL comes in three sizes small, medium and large and also has a one-leg version for a 150,000 yen, or $1,500, monthly rental fee. It is unclear when HAL will go on sale to the public or what the price tag will be. Sankai said the HAL technology is devoted to social welfare purposes only, adding he has refused from army. Some European nations have already expressed great interest in HAL. The University of California, Berkeley, and other researchers around the world are working on similar robotic suits that increase moving ability.65. Who would be the consumers of the robotic suit?A. Scientists working in labs. B. Patients with brain problems.C. People always following fashion. D. Those having trouble moving around66. The robotic suit works by .A. sending signals to the brain B. getting orders from a computerC. receiving messages from the brain D. following the persons hand operation67. We can learn from the passage that Sankai .A. showed the suit in video B. set up Cyberdyne in TsukubaC. planned to advertise HAL outside Japan D. has worked on the suit for over 20 years68. Which of the following is TURE about HAL?A. The charge for the large size is the highest.B. It is free of charge for the first month.C. It will be on sale very good.D. The one-leg version is $700less in monthly rental fee.C The deep ocean is considered to be anything below the photic zone (透光层), which only extends a few hundred meters down into the oceans waters, and this huge area is home to all of the deep ocean fish. These fish have special capabilities that allow them to live at high pressures and to survive cold ocean water. Most of these deep ocean fish cannot live in any other environment so not much is known about their behavior. There is no natural light in the deepest part of the ocean so fish there have different ways of knowing what is going on around them. Some deep ocean fish have very large eyes which have adapted to the darkness. Other fish have feelers (触须) which help them to find food. The angler fish is so named because it has a fishing-pole-type object which can move like a worm to attract prey (猎物). Because there is no photosynthesis (光合作用) under the ocean, any plant matter that fish may need for nutrients has to sink down from above. On the whole, this makes deep ocean fish smaller in overall size and weight but with large mouths than those who live higher up in shallow water. Many deep ocean fish have to float around waiting for something to eat to pass by. There are thousands of species of deep ocean fish and most of these are darkly colored to mix into the surroundings so as not to attract enemies. The further down into the ocean you go, the more you will find different kinds of fish. For example, the bottom dwelling sharks spend most of their time resting on the ocean bottom. They must keep moving at all times so that air can be forced through their lungs. They wait for their prey to come along and suddenly attack them whenever possible. If these sharks stopped swimming they would die.69. The passage is mainly about .A. the behavior of fish B. the deep oceanC. deep ocean fish D. ocean creatures70. Compares to the fish that live in shallow water, most deep ocean fish are .A. small but heavy B. small and lightC. long and heavy D. small but long71. We can learn from the passage that most of the deep ocean fish have .A. long feelers B. plants as food C. large eyes D. darkly colored bodies72. You would most probably read this article in a journal of .A. fashion B. science C. entertainment D. healthD The first time you meet someone, in the first moment you form an impression in your mind of that person. Your reactions to other people, however, are really just barometers for how you perceive yourself. Your reactions to others say more about you than they do about others. You cannot really love or hate about yourself. We are usually drawn to those who are most like us and tend to dislike those who display those aspects of ourselves that we dislike. Therefore, you can allow others to be the mirror to illuminate more clearly your own feelings of self-worth. Conversely, you can view the people you judge negatively as mirrors to show you what you are not accepting about yourself. To coexist peacefully with others, you will need to learn tolerance. A big challenge is to shift your perspective radically from judgment of other to a lifelong exploration of yourself. Your task is to assess all the decisions, judgments you make onto others and to begin to view them as clues to how you can heal yourself and become whole. I recently has a business lunch with a man who displayed objectionable table manners. My first reaction was to judge him as offensive and his table manners as disgusting. When I noticed that I was judging him, I stopped and asked myself what I was feeling. I discovered that I was embarrassed to be seen with someone who was chewing with his mouth open and loudly blowing his nose. I was astonished to find how much I cared about how the other people in the restaurant perceived me. Remember that your judgment of someone will not serve as a protective shield against you becoming like him. Just because I judge my lunch partner as offensive does not prevent me from ever looking or acting like him.73. What is the passage mainly about?A. Ways of judging others at first sight.B. Learning to be tolerant towards others.C. Trying to improve yourself.D. Ways of getting along with others.74. Which of the following statements is NOT true according to the passage?A. We are easily attracted by someone who is similar to us.B. We usually dont like people who have habits that we dont like.C. The moment we see a stranger, our mind forms an impression of that person.D. Our response to others shows nothing about ourselves.75. It can be inferred from the passage that .A. as long as we learn tolerance, we can get along peacefully with others.B. we should not judge others but carefully reflect on our own behaviorC. the author doesnt like to have business lunch with othersD. the author doesnt care about what other people think of him76. In the last paragraph, the author mentioned his lunch partner to show that .A. peoples
