THURSDAY, July 9(HealthDay News)—A new study that found that a lower calorie diet slowed the aging process in monkeys could be the best proof yet that restricted diets might do the same for humans．
“The big question in aging research is, ‘Will caloric restriction in species closely related to humans slow aging？’” said Richard Weindruch, senior author of a paper appearing in the July 10 issue of Science. This is the first clear demonstration
that, in primate species, we’re inducing a slowdown of the aging process—showing increased survival, resistance to disease, less brain atrophy and less muscle loss． “This predicts humans would respond similarly,” added Weindruch, professor of medicine at the University of Wisconsin and an investigator at the Veterans Hospital in Madison. Another expert noted that, despite some highly publicized studies in certain species, the link between restricted eating and longer lifespan has been far from proven．
“The idea that dietary restriction extends lifespan in all species is not true. Many strains of rats and mice do not respond. In some strains, it’s actually deleterious,” explained Felipe Sierra, director of the biology of aging program at the US National Institute on Aging (NIA), which supported the new study. “The fact that it doesn’t work in some mice but it does seem to work in monkeys is surprising and it gives us hope.”
But there’s a larger question: how to change humans-increasingly lax eating habits. “This finding doesn’t give me hope that humans are going to go into dietary restriction,” added Marianne Grant, a registered dietitian at Texas A&M Health Science Center Coastal Bend Health Education Center in Corpus Christi． ( )16. The underlined word “restricted” means “ ”． A. limited B. satisfied C. reserved D. fascinated
( )17. Which of the following statements about Weindruch is TRUE？ A. This experiment indicates restricted diets could extend humans-lifespan． B. Adequate sleep is another way to reduce the speed of aging process． C. The experiment was a failure in some species such as mice．
D. The experiment which had been tested on humans got a great success． ( )18. According to Felipe Sierra’s idea, we know that ．
A. the restricted diets experiment really had no distinct effect on rats and mice B. humans are finding new ways to slow down the aging process of all the species C. the experiment is unnecessary to be carried on because of the response of the mice D. the experiment confirmed that restricted diets extend lifespan in all species ( )19. It can be inferred from the underlined sentence that ． A. the result of the experiment shows that humans are not pigging out nowadays B. nowadays humans are turning unhealthy diets into lower calorie diets
C. how to change humans-careless eating habits is a long way to go D. the experiment changed humansincreasingly careless eating habits ( )20. The author most likely wrote this text to ． A. compare the two experiments on rats and monkeys B. illustrate the data from the research
C. call on people to pay attention to their daily diets D. introduce a lively debate to amuse the reader B
After years of research and testing, the hybrid car was developed and put on the market. It’s an interesting and exciting new improvement in today’s world as we look for better ways to protect the quality of the air we breathe and conserve our natural resources．
The quality of our air is affected by many different things. But one of the largest sources of air pollution is the burning of fossil fuels such as coal and gasoline which is used to power a car’s engine. The EPA has set national standards to help control the level of harmful pollutants sent off into the air, and the automobile industry has acted by producing a hybrid car that uses less gas and therefore causes less pollution． A hybrid car is a combination of a regular car that runs on gasoline and an electric car that is battery powered. Some people tend to think that since the hybrid car is partially electric, you have to plug it in to charge it. But that’s not how it works. The 144 volt battery pack is actually recharged through the energy that is produced when the cars brakes are used. This is referred to as “regenerative braking”, because it generates electricity．
Although the hybrid car still runs on gasoline most of the time, this helps it use less gas than a regular car. When the driver stops at a traffic light, the engine automatically shuts off to save fuel. Then, as soon as the driver puts the car in gear and touches the gas pedal, the engine starts back up．
Have you ever ridden in a car with someone who ran out of gas？ That probably wouldn’t happen if you were riding in a hybrid car. It flashes a warning on its computer screen that says, “I am low on gas.” When it completely runs out, the warning reads,“YOU ARE NOW OUT OF GAS!” Then the electric power supply kicks in to let the
driver travel a few more miles to a gas station．
( )21. Which of the following is TRUE according to the passage？ A. The hybrid car will be put on the market． B. Hybrid cars run faster than regular cars．
C. When the hybrid car stops at a traffic light, the driver will get a warning． D. The burning of fossil fuels is one of the largest sources of air pollution． ( )22. According to the passage, the word “hybrid” refers to “ ”． A. a high tech discovery B. energy saving
C. a new invention D. a combination of two things
( )23. “Regenerative breaking” is an important process of the hybrid car because ．
A. it allows the car to come to a quick stop B. it gives the driver a smoother ride C. it produces energy to charge the battery D. it can control the speed of the car
( )24. Which of the following is RIGHT about the EPA？ A. They designed hybrid cars．
B. They outlawed(宣布……为不合法) the burning of fossil fuels． C. They set important guidelines that help control pollution． D. Their main purpose is to protect endangered plants and animals． ( )25. Which of the following is the reason for developing hybrid cars？ A. They use less gas than regular cars． B. They’re safer to drive than most cars． C. They’re more modern than other cars． D. They cost less than regular cars．
三、 任务型阅读
请认真阅读下列短文，并根据所读内容在文章后表格中的空格里填入一个最恰当的单词。 注意：每个空格只填1个单词。
Telepathy is the ability to communicate without the use of the five senses(sight,
hearing, touch, smell, taste). It is an instinct, and although quite dormant(睡眠状态的） in many of us, we are often capable of tapping into our latent(潜伏的） abilities in times of emergency or need．
Where this instinct lies is uncertain．Some say that it is located in the huge area of our brains that are wholly unused, whereas others argue that instinct existed before the brain evolved and must therefore lie else—where in the body．
When we intuitively(直觉地） know that something is happening, or about to happen, our instinct has kicked in．We are drawing upon resources within the unconscious mind．When the resources of two unconscious minds link together into the same frequency, we call it Telepathy．
We can either send or receive telepathy．If you know who is calling before you answer the ringing phone, you are probably a good receiver．If you think of a person, and they call you, you are most likely better at sending．
You can easily put your abilities to the test．Think of somebody and will them to contact you．Be patient, the other person may not be a good receiver, but they should contact you much earlier than would normally be expected．Or whenever the phone rings, try “feeling” who’s contacting you．Don’t guess, try to feel the vibrations．However, if neither of these work for you, that doesn’t mean that you are not capable of telepathy．As mentioned earlier, telepathy is most likely to kick in under circumstances of emergency．
Telepathic dreams often contain telepathic messages．Two people may both dream of the other, and find that their dreams had a distinct connection．These people are probably mutually linking to the unconscious mind．A projection of the mind—a form of astral projection?
The more people spend time together, the more likely they are to be able to link up to the others mind, especially when separated．There are two reasons for this．One is that they understand the others, mind through time spent together; the other is that there is usually a strong desire to communicate．
A mother will often sense that her child is in danger．This is due to the child desperately wanting his/her mother, knowing that this is the person who would always want to be there for them, and the mothers deep desire to protect her child from harm．
