（6分）Known as GC-1, the drug reportedly speeds up metabolism（新陈代谢）, or burning off, of fat cells. “GC-1 21．
dramatically increases the metabolic rate, essentially transforming white fat, which stores extra calories and is
associated with obesity and metabolic disease, into a fat like calorie-burning brown fat,” said Kevin Phillips, a researcher in Houston.
Until several years ago, scientists thought that only animals and human babies have energy-burning, "good" brown fat. “It is now clear,” Phillips said, “that human ad ults do have brown fat, but appear to lose its calorie-burning activity over time.” White fat has a bad effect on people when the body has too much of it. Some published research shows that people who have more brown fat have a reduced risk of obesity. Res earchers are now working on ways to “brown” white fat, or change it into brown fat.
美国血腥恐怖片GC-1 works, according to Phillips. He said he and other researchers have tested the drug in hundred
s of mice. Obese mice, both genetically obese and those with diet-induced obesity, received GC-1 treatment daily. Genetically obese mice lost weight and more than 50 percent of their fat mass in approximately two weeks, Phillips reported. He said mice with diet-induced obesity experienced similar improvements. The drug also caused adaptive thermogenes（适应性发热）in fat cells from mice. Cells grown in a dish, as well as tissue samples taken from obese mice, showed evidence of
white-fat browning. “Our data prove that GC-1 is a novel fat-browning agent that may have use in the treatment of obesity and metabolic disease,”Phillips said.
The drug has not yet been tested for weight loss in humans. However, Phillips said it wouldn’t be long before it was used as a way of losing weight.
1、What is the writer's purpose of writing this passage?
A．To prove the harm of a new drug.
B．To introduce a new drug to people.
C．To explain the development of a new drug.
D．To inform people of some health knowledge.
2、In the past, people held the belief that ________.
A．human babies have brown fat
B．animals don't have brown fat
C．only human adults have brown fat
D．brown fat may lose its activity over time
3、What can we know about GC-1?
A．It can be used to treat obesity.
B．It is a cure for heart disease.
C．It is a drug intended for mice.
D．It has been sold in the drug store.
4、Which of the following can make people lose weight?
A．Increasing more white fat.
B．Burning off more brown fat.
C．Changing white fat into brown fat.
D．Slowing down the activity of brown fat.
22．（8分）Generally speaking, people like those who have a good sense of humor.
Sometimes a touch of humor might well enable us to win. Consider the case of a young friend of mine, who hit a traffic jam on his way to work shortly after receiving an ultimatum (最后通牒) about being late on the job. Although
th ere was a good reason for Brian’s being late—serious illness at home—he decided that this by-now-familiar excuse wouldn’t work any longer. His boss was probably already pacing up and down preparing a dismissal speech.
Yes, the boss was, as Brian entered the office at 9:35. The place was as quiet as a locker room (更衣室): everyone was hard at work. Brian’s boss came up to him. Suddenly, Brian forced a smile and
stretched out his hand. “How do you do!” he said. “I’m Brian. I’m applying for a job, which, I understand, became available just 35 minutes ago. Doesn’t the early bird get the worm?”
The room exploded in laughter. The boss clamped off a smile and walked back to his office. Brian had saved his job, with the only tool that could win—a laugh.
Humor is a most effective, yet frequently neglected means of handling the difficult situations in our lives. It can be used for patching up differences, apologizing, saying “no”, criticizing, getting the other fellow to do what you want without his losing face. For some jobs, it’s the only tool that can succeed. It is a way to discuss subjects so sensitive that serious dialog may start a quarrel. For example, many believe that comedians on television are doing more today for racial and religious tolerance (忍受力) than people in any other forum.
1、Brian was late for his job because ________.
A．he got up late B．he was seriously ill
C．he was caught in a traffic jam D．he was busy applying for a new job
2、What can we infer about humor?
A．It is the early bird.
B．It is important in our lives.
C．Brian often saved his job with humor.
D．It can solve racial discriminations.
3、What does the underlined phrase “clamped off” in Paragraph 3 refer to?
文件名的命名规则A．charge B．tried to set
C．gave up D．tried to hold back
4、What can we learn from the text?火炬之光控制台
A．Many people lack in a sense of humor.
B．Brian was supposed to arrive at his office at 8: 30.
C．It wasn’t the first time that Brian came late for work.
D．Humor is the most interesting way of solving problems.
23．（8分）第三部分：阅读理解
第一节阅读下列短文，从每题所给的四个选项(A、B、C和D)中，选出最佳选项。(共20小题；
I made a promise to myself on the way down to the vacation beach cottage. For two weeks I would try to be a loving husband and father. Totally loving. No ifs, ands or buts.
The idea had come to me as I listened to a talk on my car radio. The speaker was quoting a Biblical passage about husbands and their wives. Then he went on to say, “Love is an act of will. A person can choose to love.” To myself, I had to admit that I had been a selfish husband. Well, for two weeks that would change.
And it did. On arriving at the beach cottage, I kissed Evelyn meeting me at the door and said, “That new yellow sweater looks great on you.” “Oh, Tom, you noticed”, she said, surprised and pleased. Maybe a little puzzled. After the long drive, I wanted to sit and read. Evelyn suggested a walk on the beach. I started to refuse, but then I thought, “Evelyn’s been alone here with the kids all week and now she wants to be alone with me.” We walked on the beach while the children flew their kites.
So it went. Two weeks of not calling the Wall Street firm where I am a director; a visit to the shell museum though I usually hate museums. Relaxed and happy, that’s how the whole vacation passed. I made a new promise to keep on remembering to choose love.
There was one thing that went wrong with my experiment, however. Evelyn and I still laugh about it today. On the last night at our cottage, preparing for bed, Evelyn stared at me with the saddest expression.
“What’s the matter?” I asked her.
“Tom,” she said in a voice filled with distress, “I don’t?”
“What do you mean?”
王阳明纹身“Well…that checkup I had several weeks ago…our doctor…did he tell you something about me? Tom, you’ve been so good to me…am I dying?”
It took a moment for it all to be understood. Then I burst out laughing.
“No, honey,” I said, wrapping her in my arms. “You’re not dying; I’m just starting to live.”
1、From the story we may infer that Tom drove to the beach cottage ________.
