.Reading Comprehension (50 points)

Section A (30 Points)

Passage 1

Questions 11-15 are based on the following passage

You feel sad:“I skip my breakfast and supper. I run every morning and evening.

What else can I do?” Basically you can do nothing. Your genes, not your life habits,

determine your weight and your body constantly tries to maintain it.

How can obese (

肥胖的

) people become normal or even thin through dieting?

Well, dieting can be effective, but the health costs are tremendous. Charles Steinmetz,

a

research

physician

at

Duke

University,

did

a

study

of

ten

fat

people.

They

were

given

liquid

formula

providing

600

calories

a

day.

After

more

than

12

weeks,

the

subjects lost 45kg on average. But after leaving the hospital. They all regained weight.

The results were surprising: by metabolic(

新陈代谢的

) measurement, fat people who

lost large amounts of weight seemed like they were starving. They dreamed of food or

breaking their diet. They were anxious and depressed; some were suicidal. They hid

food in their rooms. Researchers warn that it is possible that weight redu

ction doesn’t

result in normal weight, but in an abnormal state resembling that of starved non-obese

people.

Thin people, however, suffer from the opposite: they have to make a great effort

to

gain

weight.

William

Simmons,

of Washington

State

University,

got

prisoners

to

volunteer to gain weight. In four to six months, they eat as much as they could. They

succeeded in increasing their weight by 20 to 25 percent. But months after the study

ended they were back to normal weight and stayed there.

This does not mean that people are completely without hope in controlling their

weight.

It

means

that

those

who

tend

to

be

fat

will

have

to

constantly

battle

their

genetic inheritance if they want to significantly lower their weight. The findings also

provide

evidence

for

something

scientists

thought

was

true-----each

person

has

a

comfortable

weight

range

(

范围

).

The

range

might

be

as

much

as

9kg.

Someone

might weigh 60-69kg without too much effort. But going above or below the natural

weight range is difficult. The body resists by feeling hungry or full and changing the

metabolism to push the weight back to the range it seeks.

11. What determines your weight according to the first paragraph?

A. Your working manner

B. Your eating habit

C. Your life style

D. Your genes

12. What did Charles Steinmetz do to the ten fat people in his research?

A. He let them live only on liquid food.

B. He let them skip breakfast.

C. He let them run every morning and evening.

D. He let them skip supper.

13. What happened to the ten fat people after they left the hospital?

A. They went mad.

2

B. They killed themselves.

C. They were back to the original weight

D. They attempted suicide.

14. William Simmons made his subjects____.

A. Battle their genetic inheritance

B. eat as much as they could

C. Suffer from hunger

D. lower their weight

15. What did scientists think was true?

A. Each person wants to eat to his or her heart’s content.

B. Each person has a weight range of 9kg.

C. Each person wants to control his or her height.

D. Each person has a suitable weight range.

Passage2

Questions 16-20 are based on the following passage

Many

people

believe

the

glare

from

snow

causes

snow

blindness.

Yet,

wearing

dark glasses or not, they find themselves suffering from headaches and watering eyes,

and even s

now blindness, when exposed to several hours of “snow light”.

The

Canadian

Army

has

now

determined

that

glare

from

snow

does

not

cause

snow

blindness

in

troops

in

a

snow-

covered

country.

Rather

,

a

man’s

eyes

frequently find nothing to focus on in a broad expanse of barren snow- covered terrain.

So his gaze continually shifts and jumps back and forth over the entire landscape in

search of something to look at. Finding nothing, hour after hour, the eyes never stop

searching and the eyeballs become sore and the eye muscles ache. Nature offsets this

irritation

by

producing

more

fluid

which

covers

the

eyeball.

The

fluid

covers

the

eyeball

in

increasing

quantity

until

vision

blurs,

then

is

obscured,

and

the

result

is

total, even though temporary, snow blindness .

Experiments led the Army to a simple method of overcoming this problem. Scouts,

ahead

of

a

main

body

of

troops,

are

trained

to

shake

snow

from

evergreen

bushes,

creating

a

dotted

line

as

they

cross

completely

snow-covered

landscape;

even

the

scouts

themselves

throw

lightweight,

dark

colored

objects

ahead

on

which

they

too

can focus. The men following can then see something. Their gaze is arrested. Their

eyes

focus

on

a

bush

and

having

found

something

to

see,

stop

scouring

the

snow-blanketed

landscape.

By

focusing

their

attention

on

one

object

at

a

time,

the

men can cross the snow without becoming hopelessly snow blind or lost .In this way

the problem of crossing a solid white terrain is overcome.

16.

To

prevent

headaches,

watering

eyes

and

blindness

caused

by

glare

from

snow,

dark glasses are

.

A. indispensable

B. ineffective

C. useful

D. ease the irritation

17. When the eyes ache, tears are produced to

.

A. loosen the muscles

B. remedy snow blindness

C. clear the vision

D. ease the irritation

18. Snow blindness may be avoided by

.
