A new study in the Chinese population sai

2、d Wednesday that people who eat fresh fruit on most days are at lower risk of heart attack and stroke than people who rarely eat fresh fruit. The findings, published by the New England Journal of Medicine, came from a seven-year study of half a million adults in China, where fresh fruit consumption

3、is much lower than in countries like the U.K. or the United States. Researchers from the University of Oxford and Chinese Academy of Medical Sciences conducted a large, nationwide study of 500,000 adults across China, tracking health for seven years through death records and electronic hospital reco

4、rds of illness. The participants did not have a history of cardiovascular （心血管）diseases or anti-hypertensive （抗高血壓）treatments when they first joined the study. The study found that eating a 100-gram portion of fruit per day was associated with about one-third less cardiovascular mortality（心血管死亡率）. T

5、he association between fruit consumption and cardiovascular risk seems to be stronger in China, where many still eat little fruit, than in high-income countries where daily consumption of fruit is more common, study author Huaidong Du of the University of Oxford said. Also, fruit in China is almost

6、exclusively consumed raw, whereas much of the fruit in high-income countries is processed, and many previous studies combined fresh and processed fruit, said Du. Senior author Zhengming Chen, professor at the University of Oxford, noted that its difficult to know whether the lower risk in people who

7、 eat more fresh fruit is because of a real protective effect. If it is, then widespread consumption of fresh fruit in China could prevent about half a million cardiovascular deaths a year, including 200,000 before age 70, and even larger numbers of non-fatal strokes and heart attacks, Chen added.21.

8、 According to the passage, we can learn that _. A. The study was conducted internationally among 500,000 adults. B. Daily consumption of fruit is less common in low-income countries . C. Chinese will not die of cardiovascular diseases if they eat enough fresh fruit. D. It knows for sure that the low

9、er risk in people eating more fresh fruit is because of a real protective effect.22. Whats the main idea of this passage? A. It is suggested to eat processed fruit rather than raw fruit. B. Male are more likely to suffer from heart attack and stroke than female. C. Research findings link lower heart

10、 diseases to more fresh fruit eating. D. The government needs to prevent people from heart attack and stroke .23. Where does this passage probably come from? A. A book review. B .A health report. C. A class presentation. D. A medical advertisement.B A man walked into a small Irish pub and ordered th

11、ree beers. Bartender was surprised, but he served that man three beers. One hour later the man ordered three beers again. The very next day that man ordered three beers again and drank quietly at a table. This repeated several times and shortly after the people of the town were whispering about the

12、man, who was ordering three beers at once. A couple of weeks later, the bartender decided to clear this out and inquired: “I do not want to pry, but could you explain, why do you order three beers all the time?” The man replied: “It seems strange, isnt it? You see, my two brothers live abroad at the

13、 moment, one in France and another in Italy. We have made an agreement, that every time we go to pub each of us will order extra two beers and it will help keeping up the family bond ”. Soon all the town have heard about the mans answer and liked it a lot. The man became a local celebrity. Residents

14、 of the town were telling this story to newcomers or tourists and even invited them to that pub to look at Three Beer Man. However, one day the man came to pub and ordered only two beers, not three as usual. The bartender served him with bad feeling. All that evening the man ordered and drank only t

15、wo beers. The very next day all the town was talking about this news, some people pray for the soul of one of the brothers, others quietly grieve. When the man came to pub the next time and ordered two beers again, the bartender asked him: “I would like to offer condolences to you, due to the death

16、of your dear brother”. The man considered this for a moment and then replied: “Oh, you are probably surprised that I order only two beers now? Well, my two brothers are alive and well. Its just because of my decision. I promised myself to give up drinking.”24. The man ordered three beers all the tim

17、e because _. A. people were fond of drinking beers in this pub. B. he missed his two brothers living abroad very much. C. it was an agreement with his brothers to keep up the family bond. D. this would help him become a local celebrity.25. We can infer from the passage that_. A. news traveled fast i

18、n the town. B. the man became famous in the town because he was a heavy drinker C. the mans brothers liked drinking beer very much D. the man was strong-minded to give up drinking26. The bartender served the man with bad feeling because _. A. he would earn less money B. he thought the man should ord

19、er three beers C. he thought one of the mans brothers had passed away D. the man decided to drink two beers27. The underlined word “condolences” in the last paragraph can be replaced by_. A. gratitude B. appreciation C. surprise D. sympathy C Many fruits and vegetables would disappear from grocery s

20、tore shelves if it werent for honeybees. Almonds, for example, are a $2.5 billion industry in California, and almond growers depend on honeybees to pollinate(授粉） the crop. No honeybees would mean no almonds. Many berries (like blackberries and strawberries) need bees, as do vegetables like cucumbers

21、 and squash. And dont forget tree crops like apples, oranges and peaches. Watermelon and cantaloupes depend on bees, too. In fact, approximately 15 percent of the food Americans eat comes directly from honeybee pollination. Another 15 percent comes from animals that eat foods that bees pollinate. In

22、 other words, close to a third of the food that Americans eat currently requires honeybee pollination. Honeybee pollination is so important that bee farmers actually truck their bees from orchard to orchard and farm to farm to help pollinate crops. A honeybee starts the honey making process by visit

23、ing a flower. With luck, the flower contains nectar, and the bee sucks some of the nectar up with a little straw built into its mouth. Most flower nectars are like sugar water; there is a little sugar mixed with water. Nectars can contain other beneficial substances as well. To make honey, two thing

24、s happen. The first thing uses enzymes. One enzyme that bees produce turns the sucrose in the nectar into glucose and fructose. Another enzyme turns some of the glucose into an acid and hydrogen peroxide. By making honey acidic, it kills any bacteria that get into the honey. The second thing uses ev

25、aporation to get rid of the extra water. Most of the moisture has to be evaporated, so that honey is only about 18 percent water. Bees evaporate the extra water by putting little drops of nectar in the hive and fanning it with their wings. Honey is a very stable food. It naturally resists molds, fun

26、gi and other bacteria, allowing it to last for years without refrigeration.28. Bees are always trucked between different places in order to _.A. lay eggs in all the orchards to farmsB. mate with bees living in different zonesC. help bee farmers deal with harmful insectsD. to pollinate flowers or pla

28、 honey?A. to evaporate most of the moisture in the nectar. B. to kill all the bacteria in the nectar.C. to expose it to sunlight for some time.D. to mix the nectar with some sugar.31. Why honey can be kept for a long time without being cooled?A. Because there is no bacteria in it.B. Because it can s

29、tand bad weather conditions.C. Because it protects itself against bacteria naturally.D. Because it is well-preserved in containers. D When Andrew was born in Jiangsu, China, his father opened Panda Inn, a sit-down restaurant in Pasadena, California, serving family foods fast and hot. Andrews father

30、had taught him to take on a new challenge only after mastering the previous one. It took ten years before Andrew felt he was ready to deal with the all-American challenge: the fast-food industry. The first Panda Express opened in a Southern California mall in 1983. As Pandas began to increase, Peggy

31、, who has a PhD in electrical engineering, gave up her career to join the company full-time, first as president, then as CEO. Today, Peggy and Andrew share the title of chairman. They are big fans of Stephen Coveys The 7 Habits of Highly Effective People, a book they require all job applicants to re

32、ad before their interview. “Success is a byproduct of our habits,”says Andrew. “Were very focused on learning how to do the right things well and completely so that what all of us do actually makes an Impact.” Doing the right thing includes paying more than the minimum wage and part of health care f

33、or all 17,300 employees, including part-timers. Some warned that this would cause financial problems. But not for the Panda Express. “If youre too focused on the results and try to develop shortcuts, youre going to have to pay it back later somehow,” Andrew says. They take seriously the concept that

34、 to lead is to serve. It means helping employees improve their livelihood and, in the process, learn to live a fuller life. In the end, Andrew says, “They are better off financially, but theyre also smarter because theyre curious and learning. They take care of themselves physically, mentally, emoti

35、onally and spiritually. When all of us do these things well, theres a better chance that we will treat the customers better.”32.
