A glass a day keeps obesity at bay．Alcohol has always been thought to cause weight gain because of its high sugar content，but new research suggests a glass a day could form part of a diet．Looking at past studies they found that，while heavy drinkers do put on weight；those who drink in moderation can actually lose weight．

A spokesman for the research team at Navarro University in Spain says，“Light to moderate alcohol intake，especially of wine，may be more likely to protect against，rather than promote，weight gain”．The International Scientific Forum on Alcohol Research reviewed the findings and agreed with most of the conclusions，particularly that current data do not clearly indicate if moderate drinking increases weight．

Boston University’s Dr．Harvey Finkel found that the biologic mechanisms(生物学机制)relating alcohol to changes in body weight are not properly understood．His team pointed out the strong protective effects of moderate drinking on the risk of getting conditions like diabetes(糖尿病)，which relate to increasing obesity．Some studies suggest that even very obese people may be at lower risk of diabetes if they are moderate drinkers．

The group says alcohol provides calories that are quickly absorbed into the body and are not stored in fat，and that this process could explain the differences in its effects from those of other foods．They agree that future research should be directed towards assessing the roles of different types of alcoholic drinks，taking into consideration drinking patterns and including the past tendency of participants to gain weight．

For now there is little evidence that consuming small to moderate amounts of alcohol on a regular basis increases one’s risk of becoming obese．What’s more，a study three years ago suggested that resveratrol，a compound present in grapes and red wine，destroys fat cells.

1.The passage is mainly for those__________．

A．who produce wine

B．who have a drinking habit

C. who go on a diet

D．who are eager to lose weight

2.The underlined phrase“in moderation”in the first paragraph means_________．

A．excitedly B．carefully C．properly D．frequently

3.What can we learn from the passage?

A．Current data clearly show that moderate drinking increases weight．

B．Resveratrol is proved to increase the risk of becoming fat．

C．The specific roles of different types of alcoholic drinks are very clear．

D．The research found moderate drinking has a strong protective effect．

4.What is most likely to be discussed in the paragraph that follows?

A．How to do some easy experiments．

B．How to reduce the calories contained in wine．

C．How to make wine in a healthy way．

D．How to prove the finding mentioned above．

The food we eat seems to have a great effect on our health. Although science has made big steps in making food more fit to eat, it has, at the same time, made many foods unfit to eat. Some research has shown that perhaps eighty percent of human illness is related to food and forty percent of cancer is related to food as well. That food is related to illness is not a new discovery. In 1945, some researchers realized that things commonly used to keep colors in meats and other food additives (添加剂) caused cancer.

Yet, these additives remain in our food, and it is difficult to know which things on the wrappings（包装）of foods are helpful or harmful. The additives which we eat are not all so direct. Farmers often give penicillin (青霉素) to their animals, and because of this, penicillin has been found in the milk of cows. Sometimes similar things are supplied to animals not for their health, but just to make a profit.

The farmers are simply trying to fatten the animals in order to get a higher price on the market. Although some countries have tried to control such things, the practice continues.

1.According to this passage, we can know _____.

A. perhaps most kinds of cancer are related to what people eat

B. perhaps most of human illness is caused by what we eat

C. cancer was discovered in 1945

D. science has made food unfit to eat

2.Things that are used to keep colors in meats are _____.

A. harmful B. useless C. helpless D. dangerous

3.People use additives _____.

A. to make food more unfit to eat

B. to cause cancer

C. to change the color of the food

D. to take off the diseases of the food

4.Which of the following is NOT true?

A. Some wrappings of food are harmful.

B. Farmers try to make more money on the market by fattening their animals.

C. "The practice continues" means "things are still going on like that".

D. We needn't take care of what we eat.

“Holding girls back from an education is robbing them of their dignity (尊严),” says Mariam, a teacher, in an interview with Action Press.

“I feel proud when I tell people that I’m from Swat in Pakistan, with its green and mountainous valley. But I don’t feel proud about the number of women and girls where I’m from who are still being unable to enjoy the right for an education.

“I have taught many students — including Malaya, the young education activist who was shot in the head as travelling to school in Pakistan after campaigning for girls’ education. Among them I see the dignity that education can offer. This is why I have long been devoted to teaching, and why I am doing what I can to make sure that all girls have the chance to go to school.

“At the Khushaal school and college in Mingora, many girls are prevented from going to school because of poverty and fights. However, the most common reasons for girls not attending classes are cultural. People fear that females will become too independent if educated. Instead, parents prefer to marry off girls early. Girls and young women are considered a financial burden if left dependent on their parents.”

“In the school where I have been teaching for over ten years, I have seen how this discrimination plays out. Parents regard an educated and independent female as being too clever for her own. Even if parents agree to give a girl an education, a limit is set to the number of years for her to attend classes and it is common for girls to make it through only primary school. This is why I have been working tirelessly to change these damaging views and cultural practices. These are crimes against humanity (人道),which I have no choice but to strongly accuse of.”

“Malala was right to fight for her education.” says Mariam, who will be in New York with UNESCO (联合国教科文组织), delivering a speech calling for world leaders to make sure every child gets a chance to go to school.

1.What does Mariam take pride in?

A. Her dignity from education.

B. Her lifelong devotion to teaching.

C. Her hometown with fantastic scenery.

A. The constant fights across the country.

B. The lack of financial support for schooling.

C. The limited time allowed to attend classes.

D. The traditional views on females’ social role.

3.What will Mariam appeal for in her speech?

A. Accusing of the shooting of the schoolgirl.

B. Sex balance among children of school age.

C. Equal access for boys and girls to education.

D. Independence of girls with a good education.

4.Which of the following is true about Mariam？

A. Malala event motivated her to work years for children.

B. She spoke in favour of Malala’s action in the interview.

C. A press invited her to attend a conference in New York.

D. She started a campaign with Malala for females’ freedom.

A new planet-hunting technique has detected the most earth-like planet yet around a star other than our sun, raising hopes of finding a space rock that might support life, astronomers (天文学家) reported recently.

“This is an important discovery to answer the question ‘Are we alone?’” said Michael Turner of the National Science Foundation.

“The team has discovered the most earth-like planet yet, and more importantly, has proved the power of a new technique that is sensitive (灵敏的) to detecting planets that are fit for people to live on,” Turner said in a statement.

In the last decade, astronomers have detected more than 160 planets moving around stars outside our solar system. Most of these have been gas giant planets like Jupiter, which are unfit for life.

But an international team has detected a cold planet about 5.5 times more massive than the earth — still small enough to be considered earth-like — moving around a star about 20,000 light years away, close to the center of the Milky Way.

To find this new planet, the team used a technique called gravitational microlensing (引力微观透镜法). When a planet is circling the closest star, the planet’s gravity can add its own signature to the light. This kind of light signature was observed on July 11 by a group of telescopes in a project known as OGLE, short for Optical Gravitational Lensing Experiment.

“The main advantage of microlensing is the signals for low-mass planets: They’re not weak signals. They’re just rare,” Bennett of the University of Notre Dame in Indiana said by telephone. “If there happens to be a straight line between a foreground star with its planet and the background source star, then you’re able to detect that planet.”

1.The underlined word “detected” in Paragraph 1 probably means “_________”.

A. discovered B. destroyed

C. created D. searched

2.The author’s purpose in writing this passage is to ____.

A. prove that scientists have a lot of difficulties in doing scientific research

B. explain why this planet moves around a star like our sun

C. teach the readers some basic knowledge about the universe

D. tell people about a new technique that finds the most earth-like planet moving round another star

3.From the news report we can infer that _________.

A. the planet is like the earth because it is close to the center of the Milky Way

B. it is quite possible that life may exist on other planets in the universe

C. people have no interest in finding a planet that might support life

D. the question “Are we alone” is too difficult for scientists to answer

4.Which of the following statements is NOT true according to the passage?

A. The signals coming from low-mass planets are too weak to be noticed.

B. Most of the discovered planets are not fit for people to live on.

C. If a star with its planet happens to be in line with the source star, then the planet can be found.

D. The power of the new technique is proved by the discovery of the earth-like planet.
