【正文】 ays, 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 data do not clearly indicate if moderate drinking increases weight. Boston University39。s Dr. Harvey Finkel found that the biologic mechanisms(生物學(xué)機(jī)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 one39。s risk of being obese. What39。s more, a study three years ago suggested that resveratrol(白藜蘆醇), a pound present in grapes and red wine destroys fat cells.（1）The passage is mainly for those___________. produce wine have a drinking habit go on a diet are eager to lose weight（2）The underlined phrase in moderation in the first paragraph means ___________. （3）What can we learn from the passage? data clearly show that moderate drinking increases weight. is proved to increase the risk of being fat. research found moderate drinking has a strong protective effect. specific roles of different types of alcoholic drinks are very clear.（4）What is most likely to be discussed in the paragraph that follows? to do some easy experiments. to reduce the calories contained in wine. to prove the finding mentioned above. to make wine in a healthy way.【答案】 （1）B（2）D（3）C（4）C 【解析】【分析】本文是一篇說明文，研究人員發(fā)現(xiàn)酒也可能成為人們飲食的一部分，適當(dāng)?shù)娘嬀撇⒉粫?huì)導(dǎo)致人們發(fā)胖，并且適量飲酒會(huì)防止人們得糖尿病。 （1）考查推理判斷。根據(jù)第一段中的“It has always been thought that alcohol causes people to put on weight because it contains a lot of sugar, but new research suggests a glass a day could form part of a diet.”可知，研究發(fā)現(xiàn)酒也可能成為人們飲食的一部分，適當(dāng)?shù)娘嬀撇⒉粫?huì)導(dǎo)致人們發(fā)胖。全文都在敘述與之有關(guān)的研究，所以本文應(yīng)該是寫給那些喝酒的人的。故選B。 （2）考查詞義猜測(cè)。根據(jù)第一段中的“Looking at past studies they found that, while heavy drinkers do put on weight。 those who drink in moderation can actually lose weight.”盡管酗酒的確可以增加體重，但是那些適當(dāng)飲酒的人實(shí)際上會(huì)減肥。根據(jù)連詞while可知，上下文存在對(duì)比關(guān)系，in moderation指適當(dāng)?shù)模泄?jié)制的，故選D。 （3）考查細(xì)節(jié)理解。根據(jù)第三段中的“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.”可知，適量飲酒對(duì)于糖尿病有防護(hù)作用，也就是說適量飲酒的人不會(huì)患上糖尿病。故選C。 （4）考查推理判斷。根據(jù)最后一段中的“What39。s more, a study three years ago suggested that resveratrol, a pound present in grapes and red wine destroys fat cells.”可知，一項(xiàng)研究說明葡萄和紅酒中存在的resveratrol實(shí)際上可以破壞肥胖細(xì)胞，那么接下來就應(yīng)該證明這一理論的正確性，故選C。 【點(diǎn)評(píng)】本題考點(diǎn)涉及細(xì)節(jié)理解，詞義猜測(cè)和推理判斷三個(gè)題型的考查，是一篇健康類閱讀，考生需要準(zhǔn)確掌握細(xì)節(jié)信息，同時(shí)根據(jù)上下文的邏輯關(guān)系，進(jìn)行分析，推理，從而選出正確答案。8．閱讀理解 What do people in the outside world do when they want to learn something? They go to somebody who knows about it, and ask him. They do not go to somebody who is supposed to know about everything —except, when they are very young, to their parents: and they speedily bee dissatisfied with that variety of knowledge. They go to somebody who might reasonably expected to know about the particular thing they are interested in. When a man buys a motorcar, he does not say to himself: Where can I find somebody who can teach me how to run a motor car? He does not look in the telephone directory under T. He just gets an experienced driver to teach him. He just pays attention and asks questions and tries to do the thing himself, until he learns. But this case, of course, assumes an interest of the pupil in the subject, a willingness and even a desire to learn about it, a feeling that the matter is of some importance to himself. And e to think of it, these motives are generally present in the learning that goes on in the outside world. It is only in school that the pupil is expected to be unwilling to learn. When you were a child, and passed the door of the village blacksmith(鐵匠) shop, and looked in, day after day, you admired his skill, and stood in awe of his strength。 and if he had offered to let you blow the bellows for him and shown you how to make a redhot penny, that would have been a proud moment. It would also have been an educational one. But suppose there had been a new shop set up in the town, and when you looked in at the open door you saw a man at work painting a picture。 and suppose a bell rang just then, and the man stopped painting right in the middle of a brushstroke, and started to read aloud “How They Brought the Good News from Ghent to Aix。 and suppose when he was halfway through, the bell rang again, and he said, We will go on with that tomorrow, and started to chisel the surface of a piece of marble。 and then, after a little, somewhat exhaustedly, started in to play The Rock of Ages on a flute, interrupting the tune to order you to stand up straight and not whisper to the little boy beside you. There39。s no doubt what you would think of him。 you would know perfectly well that he was crazy。 people don39。t do things in that way anywhere in the world, except in school. And even if he had assured you that what were taught were later in your life going to be matters of the deepest importance and interest, and that you should start in now with the determination of being proficient in them, it would not have helped much. Not very much. It39。s nonsense that children do not want to learn. Everybody wants to learn. And everybody wants to teach. And the process is going on all the time. All that is necessary is to put a person who knows something —really knows it—within the curiosityrange of someone who doesn39。t know it: the process begins at once. It is almost irresistible. If there were no teachers—no h
