21、 Researchers from Pennsylvania University suggest that loud snoring can be caused by having a fat tongue. Scientists have long known that losing weight can help the condition, but now they know why. It explains why losing weight reduces the risk of obstructive sleep apnoea (阻塞性睡眠呼吸暂停).
Improved symptoms are linked to slimming down the unexpected part of the body - opening the door to better treatments. Professor Richard Schwab, chief of sleep medicine at Pennsylvania University, said: "Most clinicians, and even experts in the sleep apnoea world, have not typically focused on fat in the tongue for treating sleep apnoea."Having a large neck was previously believed to be the culprit(引起问题的事物). Prof Schwab said: "Now we know tongue fat is a risk factor and sleep apnoea improves when tongue fat is reduced, we have established a unique therapeutic target that we've never had before.
In sleep apnoea the airways become blocked - leading to snoring . It blights the lives of four and two percent of middle aged men and women, respectively, in the UK. Long term, sleep apnoea is linked with a number of chronic diseases, including high blood pressure , heart disease, type 2 diabetes, stroke and depression.
Analyzing MRI (magnetic resonance imaging) scans of the throat and nose of obese patients, the researchers found reducing tongue fat is the key. They found that a reduction in tongue fat volume was the key factor. Weight loss also resulted in a smaller pterygoid - the jaw muscle that controls chewing. This is irrespective of whether they appear to fall into the typical "high-risk" obese categories, said Prof Schwab.
He added: "Primary care doctors, and perhaps even dentists, should be asking about snoring and sleepiness in all patients, even those who have a normal body mass index, as, based on our data, they may also be at risk for sleep apnoea."
Twenty-two million Americans suffer from sleep apnoea, in which breathing repeatedly stops and starts, causing patients to wake up randomly throughout their sleep cycles. One of the recommended treatments is CPAP (continuous positive airway pressure), which has been free on the NHS since March 2008.
【1】What can we learn from Prof Schwab?
A.People with high tongue fat must be at high risk of obesity.
B.Sleep apnea improves when tongue fat is reduced.
C.Patients with a normal body mass index won’t develop sleep apnea.
D.Most clinicians focus on the fat on the tongue to treat sleep apnea.
【2】What does the second paragraph mainly talk about?
A.The shape of tongue fat.
B.The harm of tongue fat.
C.The feature of tongue fat.
D.The cause of tongue fat.
【3】What does the underlined word “blight” in the third paragraph most probably mean?
A.harm B.affect
C.benefit D.cost
22、Campers Gene and Marie Marsden took pride in being good citizens when in the wild. While driving miles to the Green River Lakes area, they taught their children what they had learned in the bear safety handbook put out by the Bridger-Teton Forest Service.
Mr. and Mrs. Marsden did their best to keep a tidy camp. As the handbook had said to hang all food at least ten feet off the ground and four feet out from the trees, they did that and locked their food in their trailer(拖车) at night. It was already dark when they went to bed, but they perused the campsite with flashlights, making sure nothing was left out. Following the bear book’s advice, they slept a hundred yards from where they cooked their food, and kept the car near their tents, separated from the trailer, which they left up at the other camp.
The Marsdens liked having their dog Spike on guard. But on the first night, Spike would not stop barking. When Marie Marsden pulled the tent open and shone her flashlight, she saw a young bear.
They all piled into the car and drove quickly down the path, calling out of the window to Spike and abandoning the trailer. They drove to a pay phone and called a Fish and Game Department guard, who identified the bear by the white ring of the fur the Marsdens had seen around his neck. The authorities informed the Marsdens that the bear was a young male that they’d been keeping an eye on.
The next morning, the Marsdens heard helicopters circling over the mountain and wondered if it might have something to do with the bear.
After spending the night in the public campground, they drove back to their site. Wandering the area in search of clues, Marie came to a stop below a tall tree. She slapped her head and shouted, “Oh no!”
“What is it?” Gene asked.
Marie pointed at the ground where Spike’s dog food bowl lay upside down.
A week after their return home, the Marsdens read the headline in their local paper. “Bear Killed in Wind Rivers.” According to the article, the Fish and Game Department had shot the young bear because, having been rewarded for invading(侵入) a human campsite, it would likely to do so again.
The Marsdens knew they had been lucky in the encounter, yet much to their shame and sadness, they also knew that the bear had not.
【1】What do we know about the Marsdens?
A. They went to the wild to watch the bear.
B. They did what the bear safety handbook had said.
C. They were the first people to trap the bear.
D. They abandoned their dog on seeing the bear.
【2】The underlined work “perused” in Paragraph 2 means __________.
A. examined B. decorated C. found D. clean
【3】Who is mostly to blame for the bear’s death according to the writer?
A. The bear.
B. The Bridger-Teton Forest Service.
C. The Fish and Game Department.
D. The Marsdens.
【4】Where does this text most probably come from?
A. A study on habits of bears in the Western mountains.
B. A scientific report on human-bear relationships.
C. A human interest article in a camping magazine.
D. A handbook on bear’s living habits.
23、Since COVID-19 began, there’s been a huge focus on the importance of indoor air quality since many of us have spent an increasing amount of time inside. Houseplants have become extremely popular in recent years, but can indoor plants clean air?
Scientists studying the effectiveness of indoor plants for the removal of ozone (臭氧) found houseplants make “at best, small contributions of about 0.9-9% to indoor ozone removal effectiveness”. The tests, performed in a laboratory to simulate (模拟) the effects on a typical US home, found houseplants hardly affected the environment. To make a meaningful difference to the air quality of your home, you’d need to fill a room from top to bottom with plants, the scientists suggest. But which type of plant functions the best? Sadly, science doesn’t have the answer yet.
During COVID-19 lockdowns, many of us decided to get our hands dirty and get into gardening — but was there any health benefit to us? As well as improving your mood (心情), gardening can reduce stress, improve productivity and even increase the ability to suffer pain, says the Royal Horticultural Society. A recent study of young adult males found that indoor gardening lowered stress levels compared to the demands of completing a computer task. When sitting in front of a computer and asked to complete a task, the males had an increase in blood pressure, heart rates, and stress that wasn’t present when they were gardening.
Introducing more plants to the home can have benefits, but are indoor plants safe for pets? Most people know that tomato plants are dangerous to dogs, but many other species also threaten the health and well-being of our pets. What happens if your pet does eat your plants? Alexander Campbell of the Veterinary Poisons Information Service (VPIS) said ,“In many cases, animals suffer little. There are a few cases where they suffer more serious problems.” One of the biggest challenges for animal doctors is to know what a pet has eaten, researchers warn. The simple solution is to remove any known harmful plants from your home or garden.
【1】What may be the key to indoor plants’ air-cleaning ability?
A．Their colors.
B．Their shapes.
C．Their species.
D．Their numbers.
【2】What does the author want to stress about gardening with the study in Paragraph 3?
A．It is growing in popularity.
B．It is good for people’s health.
C．It can raise people’s productivity.
D．It can be more interesting than computer games.
【3】What’s the author’s advice for people keeping pets?
A．Creating a balanced diet for pets.
B．Choosing indoor plants without fruits.
C．Taking pets for physical examinations regularly.
D．Keeping harmful indoor plants away from pets.
【4】What would be the best title for the text?
A．How to take care of indoor plants?
B．Why should we have indoor plants?
C．How to improve your gardening skills?
D．Why is it important to learn gardening?
24、 My kids and I were heading into the superstore over the weekend． On the way， we saw a man covered by a blanket and holding a sign that said， "Lost my job． Family to Feed．"
At this store， a sight like this is not normal． It was obvious that the man was embarrassed， but desperate． My 10-year-old noticed him and said how bad it must be to have to stand outside in the cold wind．
While we were in the store， I asked each of the kids to pick something they thought our "friend" outside would need． They picked a couple of apples， a package of bread， a sandwich， some cheese and a bottle of juice． Then my 17-year-old asked， "Can we get him a gift card？" I thought about it． We were low on cash ourselves， but …well， sometimes giving from our "need" instead of our "abundance （充裕）" is just what we need to do! All the kids declared something they could do away with for the week．
We quickly checked out， with the foods he could eat at the moment， and a gift card for the store． At the suggestion of my 16-year-old， we also bought a hot cup of coffee， and then drove to the end of the parking lot， where our "friend" was holding his sign．
We handed him the coffee and the bag of food． He thanked us with watery eyes． When I handed him the gift card and said he could use it for whatever his family might need， he burst into tears， obviously overwhelmed and grateful．
Though I wished we could have done more， I can't help but think about how this experience has been such a wonderful opportunity for our family． The feeling of helping someone else has affected them all---they cannot stop talking about it， and for four days now have been searching for others we can help!
Things would have played out so differently if I had simply said， "No， we really don't have money to give more，" or something to that effect． Stepping out not only helped a brother in need， it also gave my kids the______ taste of helping others．
