21、A strong coffee after a poor night's sleep is the kick-start many people need in the morning but new research suggests that it might be best to have a bite to eat first.
A study has found that drinking coffee first can have a negative effect on blood sugar control - a risk factor for diabetes （糖尿病）and heart disease.
“We know that nearly half of us will wake in the morning and, before doing anything else, drink coffee --- subjectively the more tired we feel, the stronger the coffee,“ said Professor James Betts, at the University of Bath in the UK.
For their study, researchers at the University of Bath got 29 healthy men and women to take part in three different overnight experiments, with at least a week between them.
In one, the participants had a normal night's sleep, roughly from 11 p.m. to 7 a.m., and were asked to consume a sugary drink on waking in the morning. They then experienced an interrupted night's sleep, where the researchers woke them every hour for five minutes by sending them text messages to which they had to respond — and upon waking were given the same sugary drink.
On another night, participants experienced the same sleep interruption, but this time were first given a strong black coffee 30 minutes before consuming the sugary drink.
They found that one night of interrupted sleep did not worsen the participants' blood sugar and insulin （胰 岛素）responses when compared to the normal night's sleep-- although previous research suggested that losing many hours of sleep or many nights of poor sleep could have a negative effect. However, strong black coffee consumed before breakfast actually increased the blood sugar response by around 50% — suggesting that relying on coffee after a bad night to stop feeling sleepy could limit your body's ability to tolerate the sugar in your breakfast.
【1】What does the underlined word “kick-start" in paragraph 1 refer to?
A．A kind of sport.
B．A kind of power.
C．A kind of medicine.
D．A kind of belief.
【2】What was unchanged in the three experiments?
A．The duration of sleep.
B．The blood sugar response.
C．The sugary drink.
D．The intake of coffee.
【3】What increased the participants' blood sugar response most before breakfast?
A．A normal sugary drink.
B．A normal night's sleep.
C．An interrupted night's sleep.
D．A cup of strong black coffee.
【4】How did researchers draw the conclusion?
A．By comparing the results.
B．By listing some examples.
C．By surveying the participants.
D．By referring to some documents.
22、There have been several incidents in recent years where people died because of unsafe crowd conditions and stampedes (人群的蜂拥), the latest one unfolding in Seoul, South Korea, with at least 155 deaths reported. This may leave some people thinking there’s little you can do to survive a stampede. 【1】 But crowd-safety experts say there are several strategies that could help you avoid a potentially deadly outcome. Consider these steps below:
The key to staying safe in a crowd begins as soon as you arrive at the location, says Randy Atlas, a safety consultant based in Fort Lauderdale. 【2】 It’s a piece of common sense advice that Atlas applies not just at big events, but even when entering almost any room.
If there’s a sudden panic and crowds begin to push in a certain direction, your instinct (本能) may be to fight back and push the opposite way. 【3】 If you go against the flow, you increase your chances of getting tripped and knocked down. Another risk, according to experts: If you fight the crowd, you will tire yourself out quickly in a situation where energy is needed.
As you move forward with the crowd, it’s best to move in a diagonal (对角线的) direction so you can potentially angle your way out of the situation. The goal is to get to the edge of the stampede where it’s less likely that you’ll end up stuck at a choke-point, like a doorway.
【4】 Look for a solid structure to stand behind such as a pillar or a wall. Other places to duck: behind a car or even a lamp post.
In many stampede events, people die simply because they are crushed to the point they can’t breathe. But a possible way to avoid this is to place your arms in front of you, almost in a boxer-like position. That could give you some very valuable breathing room, literally. 【5】
A．To shelter yourself is, indeed, another potential way.
B．But that could be a big mistake, Atlas warns.
C．In this case, you don’t necessarily have to wait and let time slip by.
D．Namely, to take note of where the nearest exits are.
E．It’s simple, but surprisingly effective and possibly life-saving.
F．Furthermore, events like Halloween gathering, are likely to turn deadly.
G．Indeed, it’s a frightening situation and circumstances may make it impossible to escape.
23、The phrase "The early bird catches the worm" may be true. It means people who wake up early get more done than people who don’t. Another saying is, "Early to bed, early to rise" makes a man healthy, wealthy, and wise." Scientists have found that people who go to bed before 11: 00 p. m. may do better in life than people who sleep around 2:30 a.m.
The researchers are from Birmingham's Centre for Human Brain Health in the UK. Their research showed that people who slept and rose early (early birds) had an advantage over people who slept and woke up late(night owls). There were differences in the brain function of early birds and night owls.
The scientists tested 38 people in their research. The people answered questionnaires about their sleeping pattern and when they felt tired during the day. They were then put into an early bird or night owl group based on their answers.
All of the people had MRI scans on their brain and did different tests throughout the day. The researchers said there were big differences between the two groups. The early birds said they felt less sleepy and were able to do the tests quicker than the night owls. The researchers said, "Night owls during school have to get up earlier, then they go into work and they have to get up earlier, so they re constantly having to fight against their bad life habits.”
【1】Why does the author use two phrases in the first paragraph?
A．To compare their differences.
B．To offer some useful language materials.
C．To persuade people to learn more phrases.
D．To prove sleeping and rising early is good.
【2】Who are night owls according to the research?
A．People who stay up late.
B．People who sleep early.
C．People who get up on time.
D．People who wake up early.
【3】How does the author prove his viewpoint in the text?
A．By answering questions.
B．By offering an example.
C．By showing the research result.
D．By performing an experiment.
【4】What would be the best title for the text?
A．The Harm of Going to Bed Late.
B．Tests From Birmingham's Centre.
C．Two Different English Phrases.
D．Early to Bed, Early to Rise.
24、Tenzing left his home when he was ten to work and help his mother，who was looking after their 2-acre ancestral farm after his father’s death. He did temporary jobs for the first few years and then joined a Malaysian construction firm，where he learnt to drive，repair machines, work on the Internet and even speak English fluently.
“In those 13 years，I learnt everything—driving, mechanic work，and how to set up a small factory. This made me gain much confidence to do almost all jobs,” says Tenzing.
However, as his mother was getting older, on December 12, 2006, Tenzing returned to his hometown in Assam. Having visited several farms, he came to know that tea could be easily exported and many tea companies were buying tea; so he also decided to grow tea on his farm. But as his family had never grown tea，he had no idea how to do it.
Being a layman (外行）in this field, Tenzing went to meet with many tea experts and followed their instructions. But whenever he sprayed pesticide (农药）on his farm, he’d get a headache and feel indisposed. So he started looking for alternatives, Tenzing did his research online and finally in 2007, he connected with people from a Canadian non-governmental organization and invited them to his farm, where they trained him. Thus, Tenzing started growing tea organically.
Today Tenzing has 25 acres of land, in which 7.5 acres is used for tea planting, and he grows almost all types of fruits and vegetables. His success inspired many, and farmers from other parts of the country also started coming to his farm to learn organic farming. He has trained about 30,000 farmers so far. Every year almost 100 tourists visit his farm from various parts of the world like the UK, Australia, Germany, etc.
