21、Sleeping badly or working night shifts could be making you fat, weak and more likely to become diabetic. A study has revealed sleep loss changes the way people’s DNA works and makes the body more dedicated to storing fat. Muscles get smaller and fat stores begin to rise when people lose as little as one night’s sleep, the experts found. Although midnight snacks or being too tired to exercise could be blamed for tired people getting fatter, there may now be a more scientific reason.
Researchers have linked losing sleep to weight gain in the past but have found it difficult to explain—now they reveal it could be linked to the body clock. And a tired body also becomes less able to handle sugar in the blood which raises the risk of someone developing type 2 diabetes.
Sleep researchers from Uppsala University in Sweden did a study on 15 people who they tested after a full night’s sleep and after a sleepless night. They took fat and muscle tissue samples and collected blood from the healthy weight participants and found the way their DNA works had changed. The researchers say their findings are important because high levels of body fat increase the risk of the world’s biggest causes of death: cancer, heart disease and stroke.
People’s sensitivity to blood sugar is also dampened when they’re tired, the study found, which suggests those who don’t sleep well are at higher risk of type 2 diabetes. “We saw that the fatty tissue is attempting to increase its capacity to store fat following sleep loss.” said Dr Cedernaes, “And we observed signs of breakdown of skeletal muscle. We also noted changes in levels of proteins involved handling blood glucose. This could help explain why the participants’ glucose sensitivity was impaired following sleep loss.”
Taken together, these observations may provide at least partial insight as to why chronic sleep loss and shift work can increase the risk of adverse weight gain as well as the risk of type 2 diabetes.
【1】If you sleep badly or work night shifts, what may not happen to you according to the text?
A．You can be fat, weak and more likely to become diabetic.
B．Your body may become less able to handle sugar in the blood.
C．You might develop a habit of eating midnight snacks or being too tired to exercise.
D．Your body is more absorbed in storing fat.
【2】Which of the following statements the author may agree with?
A．Researchers have never connected losing sleep to weight gain before.
B．The participants’ glucose sensitivity was destroyed following sleep loss.
C．The researchers have fully understood why sleep loss accounts for weight gain.
D．A sleepless night can also have a negative impact on our bodies.
【3】What does the underlined word “dampened” in paragraph 4 mean?
A．Decreased.
B．Transformed.
C．Transmitted.
D．Promoted.
【4】What does paragraph 3 mainly focus on?
A．The importance of the new findings.
B．Why lack of sleep accounts for weight gain.
C．How the research was conducted.
D．High levels of body fat can lead to many diseases.
22、 The second little pig was unlucky. He built his house from sticks. It was blown away by a wolf. His brother, by contrast, built a strong house from bricks to prevent the wolf’s attack. However, in the real world it would help reduce pollution and slow global warming if more builders copied the wood-loving second pig.
Governments in the rich world are now trying to promote greener behavior by forcing developers to build new projects to “zero carbon” standards. These standards are less green than they seem. Wind turbines (涡轮) and solar panels on top of buildings look good but are much less productive than wind and solar farms. And the standards only count the emissions from running a building, not those given out when it was made. Those are thought to account for between 30% and 60% of the total over a structure’s lifetime.
Buildings can become greener. They can be made of more recycled wood and parts of them can be prefabricated in off-site factories, greatly reducing truck journeys. But no other building material has environmental certificates as exciting and overlooked as wood. The energy required to produce a wooden beam is one-sixth of that required for a steel one of comparable strength. When a mature tree is cut down, a new one can be planted to replace it, capturing more carbon. After buildings are pulled down, old wooden beams and boards are easy to recycle into new structures. Wood is also a good insulator (隔热材料). A softwood window frame provides nearly 400 times as much insulation as a plain steel and over a thousand times as much as an aluminium (铝) frame.
Carpenters’ efforts alone will not bring the environmental cost of the world’s buildings into line. But using wood can do much more than what is appreciated. Thus, the second little pig was not wrong, just before his time.
【1】Why is the story about the pigs mentioned?
A.To bring up the topic of the text.
B.To prove the author’s argument.
C.To offer background information.
D.To inspire the readers’ imagination.
【2】What can we know about the “zero carbon” standards?
A.It’s impossible to make them come true.
B.They don’t mean no carbon is given out.
C.They are only fit for developed countries.
D.It’s easy for them to meet today’s needs.
【3】What is paragraph 3 mainly about?
A.The ways of making buildings greener.
B.The usage of recycled steel in buildings.
C.The findings of new research about wood.
D.The advantages of wood as building materials.
【4】Which can replace the underlined word “prefabricated” in paragraph 3?
A.Registered. B.Recycled.
C.Constructed. D.Compared.
23、 There's no feeling quite like walking alongside the river.
It's the last light in the valley, and the sound of rushing water drowned out all others. I walk the river's edge with my dog, Mosi, whose inability to hear over the waterfall makes him nervous. Despite his impressive size, he runs sheepishly at my feet. At first glance, we walk to fish, but actually we move at the urging of naturalists long since passed—of John Burroughs and of Loren Eiseley—and of my parents, Norman and Paula, who are still alive today but live far from this Kenya valley. Walk in the woods, their voices advise, along the banks of a river where, in the blue end of a day, you may find the rhythms that fascinate you. There, among the fish and the flowers and the forces that bind them, you might make peace with your worried mind.
I began to venture into the highlands of central Kenya in 2013 with the hope that its rivers might throw their _________ power upon me, smoothing my edges as they have, over time, polished the stones in their path. I've never been free of emotional stress, but my years of working as a photojournalist in some of Africa's most conflict-ridden environment left additional barbs in me. With time it became hard to distinguish between the conflicts that existed inside me and the ones that I witnessed through the lens. Gradually they became intertwined, and I felt an expanding sense of tension and discomfort inside me.
Fly-fishing seemed a cure of the pain of photographing people's suffering, as I'd done so often in recent years. I hadn't cast a fishing line since the age of 10 or so, when I used bait to fish the Atlantic waters that surrounded the places I lived at a child, first along the coast of New Jersey and later in Massachusetts. My mother's friend at that time taught me the basics. He was a large, athletic man who'd been in the U. S. Army Special Forces, an experience that left him with his own scars. At dusk by the river, his hand resting comfortably on the rod, he seemed at ease.
Between assignments I began to drive around. The slow-flowing river drifts through protected forests, where a network of paths, used by humans, elephants and lions, cuts through thick vegetation. I came to realize that the river had given me more than I'd asked—I regained the peace inside me, and it seemed that I'd gone back to my childhood when sand sharks and puffer fish made my heart beat with curiosity.
【1】Which of the following statements is true according to the first two paragraphs?
A．The author came to the valley to fish as well as to make peace with his worried mind.
B．The deafening sound of the waterfall made the author and his dog quite scared.
C．The author's parents advised him to discover nature in the depths of the valley.
D．The valley environment is said to have a healing power upon one's heart.
【2】Which of the following is the best word to fill in the blank in the 2nd paragraph?
A．rushing.
B．shaking.
C．transforming.
D．encouraging.
【3】Which of the following statements is true about the author?
A．His occupation as a cameraman added to his inner frustration.
B．He got to make friends with his mother's friend because of fly-fishing.
C．In his spare time, he often walked through the vegetation along the paths.
D．Finally he was cured by his childhood experience with sand sharks and puffer fish.
【4】Which of the following best serves as the title for the passage?
A．My Job in Photography Led Me to a Valley.
B．A River Heals the Scar Left by a Camera.
C．The Call of Naturalists Pushed Me to Explore.
D．The Fishing Rod Links Nature With My Heart.
