27、 If it really is what’s on the inside that counts, then a lot of thin people might be in trouble.
Some doctors now think that the internal fat surrounding important organs like the heart liver could be as dangerous as the external fat which can be noticed more easily.
“Being thin doesn’t surely mean you are not fat”, said Dr Jimmy Bell at Imperial College.
Since 1994, Bell and his team have scanned nearly 800 people with MRI machines to create “fat maps” showing where people store fat.
According to the result, people who keep their weight through diet rather than exercise are likely to have major deposits of internal fat, even if they are slim.
Even people with normal Body Mass Index scores can have surprising levels of fat deposits inside. Of the women, as many as 45 percent of those with normal BMI scores (20 to 25) actually had too high levels of internal fat. Among men, the percentage was nearly 60 percent.
According to Bell, people who are fat on the inside are actually on the edge of being fat. They eat too many fatty and sugary foods, but they are not eating enough to be fat. Scientists believe we naturally store fat around the belly first, but at some point, the body may start storing it elsewhere.
Doctors are unsure about the exact dangers of internal fat, but some think it has something to do with heart disease and diabetes (糖尿病). They want to prove that internal fat damages the body's communication systems.
The good news is that internal fat can be easily burned off through exercise or even by improving your diet. “If you want to be healthy, there is no shortcut. Exercise has to be an important part of your lifestyle,” Bell said.
【1】What is this passage mainly about?
A.Thin people may be fat inside. B.Internal fat is of no importance.
C.Internal fat leads to many diseases. D.Thin people don't have diabetes.
【2】Doctors have found _____.
A.the exact dangers of internal fat
B.being slim is not dangerous at all
C.internal fat is the cause of heart disease
D.being slim doesn’t mean you are not fat inside
【3】From the last paragraph, we can find that _____.
A.internal fat leading to disease has been proved
B.thin people usually have internal fat even if they are slim
C.it is easier to burn off internal fat than external fat
D.exercise plays an important role in people’s life for keeping healthy
【4】The underlined part “shortcut” in the last paragraph means _____.
A.a long road B.an easy way
C.a clear difference D.a short distance
28、 Health experts have long known that vitamin D is important healthy bones and teeth. It may also help to protect the body against disease such as diabetes and cancer. And now, researchers say vitamin D might help fight brain diseases called dementia (痴呆).
Dementia is a brain disease that damages thinking and memory processes, which scientists call “cognitive (认知) abilities” Dementia is difficult to treat. Taking care of someone who has dementia is extremely demanding. And the disease is very frightening to sufferers. Chris Roberts suffers from dementia He says the worst part of living with this disease was getting lost while driving. “The worst thing that I found was getting lost in the car, not just forgetting where I was going-I wouldn't know where I was.” More than 47 million people around the world suffer from dementia. The World Health Organization reports that 60 percent of them live in low-and-middle-income countries.
We get vitamin D from some foods like nuts, some peas and fatty fish. We also get vitamin D from the sun. But that is not dependable. In some parts of the world, there is not enough sunlight to provide enough vitamin D. Also, sunblock prevents the vitamin from entering the body. To add to the problem, the skin's ability to process vitamin D weakens as a person ages.
Researchers at Rutgers University in New Jersey are exploring the relationship between vitamin D and dementia. The team recently measured vitamin D levels and cognitive ability in older people. Nutritional science professor Joshua Miller led the team. He said cognitive abilities differed among the study subjects. He said tests showed that about 60 percent of the group was low in vitamin D.
【1】Which of the following is true about vitamin D?
A.Vitamin D can decrease people's risk of heart diseases.
B.Vitamin D helps the body fight against cancer.
C.Vitamin D is mainly obtained from the sun.
D.The need for Vitamin D decreases as people age.
【2】What does the underlined word “demanding” mean in Paragraph 2?
A.Boring but rewarding.
B.Disturbing and frightening.
C.Disgusting and stressful.
D.Hard and tiresome.
【3】What does Paragraph 3 mainly talk about?
A.How vitamin D affects people's health.
B.Where people get vitamin D.
C.Whether sunlight can produce vitamin.
D.Why people’s age influences the production of vitamin D.
【4】Where can we most probably read the passage?
A.Travel handbook.
B.Food magazine.
C.Science journal.
D.Commercial advertisement.
29、Of all the mountain gorillas that veterinarian Mike has treated in the past 18 years, a gorilla named Ijabo stands out the most. When Ijabo was three days old, an examination showed that one of his legs was badly damaged. Mike removed Ijabo's leg below the knee. Five years later, Mike says Ijabo is doing well. “I still see him every now and again,” Mike told TFK. “It's heartwarming.”
Mike is a co-director of Gorilla Doctors. The organization provides medical care to ill and injured mountain and Grauer's gorillas. Its 16 veterinarians work in national parks in the Democratic Republic of the Congo, Rwanda, and Uganda. For years, the apes have fallen victim to habitat loss, poaching, and disease. According to their website, Gorilla Doctors' task is to save the apes “one gorilla at a time”.
The doctors treat mostly gorillas that are accustomed to humans. Trackers, guides, and veterinarians check on habituated gorillas in the field several times each week. Sometimes, a gorilla has a medical problem that requires treatment.
That calls for an intervention. A helper shoots the animal with a dart. If the gorilla appears to have a serious but treatable illness, the dart contains antibiotics to fight off infection. If it appears to need surgery, the dart contains a drug that leaves the gorilla unconscious and unable to feel pain.
Although the gorillas are critically endangered, there are signs of hope, thanks in part to Gorilla Doctors. The mountain gorilla is the only great-ape species whose population is growing.
“Habituated mountain gorillas are increasing by 4% each year, which is as fast as the human population is growing globally,” Mike says. He notes a recent study that credits the work of Gorilla Doctors for 50% of that growth. He is proud of the role his team has played in making it happen.
【1】What does the underlined word “veterinarian” in Para. 1 mean?
A.A person who works in the zoo.
B.A person who is an environmentalist.
C.A person who treats sick or injured animals.
D.A person who does not eat meat or fish.
【2】What is Mike's main job?
A.To observe and record gorillas.
B.To care ill and injured gorillas.
C.To raise gorillas in the mountains.
D.To do experiments on gorillas.
【3】Why helpers shoot gorillas with a dart?
A.Because the gorillas require treatment.
B.Because the gorillas may hurt humans.
C.Because there are so many gorillas in the mountains.
D.Because the gorillas are too noisy.
【4】What is Mike's attitude to the future of mountain gorillas?
A.Disappointed.
B.Pessimistic.
C.Hopeful.
D.Doubtful.

As we drove home, I was moved by what we had seen. “She ________ the world,” I said, “One bulb(水仙球茎)at a time. She started 40 years ago, probably just the beginning of an idea, but she ________ at it.”

32、阅读下面材料,根据其内容和所给的段落开头语续写两段,使之构成一篇完整的短文。
One of my fondest memories of travel is when I spent a few months in 2019 backpacking Eastern Europe. From Poland to Ukraine, every country I visited exceeded (超过) my expectations. However, the place that I will never forget is Romania. It is a big country in Eastern Europe with little recognition. Additionally, I was surprised to find such unexpected kindness in the capital of Bucharest.
The first day I arrived in Bucharest from Brasov, I had to take the bus from the train station to my accommodation. I boarded the bus and found that none of my cards worked and I wasn’t able to buy a ticket. I was stopped by patrols (巡逻队) on the bus and fined for not having a ticket, even after explaining that it wasn’t my intention and I had just arrived from Brasov. Despite showing them my train ticket and the fact that I was carrying my Osprey 55L backpack with me, they still didn’t believe me and fined me.
After doing some research online, I found that most buses in Bucharest are outdated and do not accept cash or any form of payment on board. You have to purchase a card at certain places in the city, top it up with money, and then pay onboard. The buses connecting to the airports are more modern. You can use wireless pay to purchase a ticket. I was delighted after finding out such good news as I did not want another fine.
Fast forward to my last day in Bucharest, I was taking the bus to Bucharest Airport. When the bus arrived, I got on and could not find the ticket machine as the bus was inundated (淹没) with people. People were standing like sardines in a can. I made my way toward the center of the bus with my big backpack and found the ticket machine to be the same as the one I had encountered on my first day in Bucharest. I tried every method. Nothing worked. I started to panic.
