【题目】Eating nuts and peanuts reduces the risk of suffering a heart attack or stroke, a new study claims. Researchers found they were linked with a reduced risk of death from heart disease among people on low incomes.And they believe their findings suggest peanuts may be a cost-effective measure to improve cardiovascular(心血管) health because they are so cheap.
However, experts cautioned today that salt-covered nuts would not have the same health benefits. Nuts are rich in nutrients and peanuts, although classified as one bean, have nutrients similar to tree nuts.
The new study, led by Dr Xiao-Ou Shu, of the Vanderbilt University School of Medicine, Tennessee, analysed various groups of people.One involved 72,000 low-income black and white men and women living in the US, the other 134,000 men and women living in Shanghai, China.In both groups, men ate more peanuts than women.In the US group, about half of the nuts consumed were peanuts, and in the Chinese group only peanut consumption was considered..
The researchers found that overall, eating nuts reduced the risk of death from heart disease.This was regardless of gender, race, body condition, smoking, alcohol consumption and conditions such as diabetes(糖尿病), high blood pressure and obesity.
In the US, the highest consumption resulted in a risk reduction of 21 per cent. In the Chinese group, it was 17 per cent.
Dr Shu said: 'We observed no significant associations between nut or peanut consumption and risk of death due to cancer and diabetes.She added the findings highlight the large public health impact of nut or peanut consumption in lowering deaths from heart disease - especially for their affordability.
The research was published in JAMA Internal Medicine.
Dr Mitchell Katz, deputy editor of the journal, added: 'Of course, peanuts are not really nuts - they are legumes since they grow in bushes, unlike tree nuts.'But who cares if they help us to live longer at an affordable price?'
（1）Peanuts are considered very useful in improving heart health mainly because______.
A.Nuts are rare.
B.People can afford to buy peanuts.
C.Peanuts are people's favorite.
D.peanuts and nuts are the same.
（2）According to the passage,which of the following statements is true?
A.Peanuts are classified as nuts.
B.The Chinese eat less peanuts than Americans.
C.Peanuts have no effects on cancer.
D.People care if they can live longer.
（3）In paragraph 2,the underlined word “cautioned”is probably the closest to____.
A.warned
B.announced
C.concerned
D.doubted
（4）Which of the following can be the best title for the text?

B.Peanuts: People's favorite
C.Peanuts: a medicine for all
D.More peanuts, fewer deaths.

Insurance companies are normally willing to insure anything, but it must be unique to insure a dish. It was a unusual pie dish, for it was eighteen feet in long and six feet in width. They had been purchased by a local authority so that an enormous pie could baked for an annual fair. The pie committee decided that the best way to transport would be by a canal, so they insured it for the trip. Short after it was launched, the pie committee went to the local inn to celebrate.

【题目】阅读短文，回答下列问题。
A
Although he will always be remembered for starring “Superman,” the greatest role of actor Christopher Reeve's life was as a champion of sufferers of spinal cord （脊椎） injuries and an supporter of stem cell （干细胞） research.
Unlike the man of steel, he wasn't faster than a speeding bullet, more powerful than an engine and he couldn't leap tall buildings in a single bound. But the courage and determination Reeve showed in trying to overcome his paralysis （瘫痪） from a 1995 horse-riding accident went beyond any of the achievements of the comic book hero.
“He became a real-life Superman. His heroism, his courage was extraordinary,” Colin Blakemore, the chief executive of Britain's Medical Research Council said. “Like many people who suffer some terrible injuries, Christopher Reeve was totally changed by that experience and brought the kind of energy and enthusiasm that made him successful as a film star to an entirely different issue, with huge effect.”
Reeve, 52, died of heart failure on October 10, 2004 after having treatment for an infected pressure wound without realizing his dream of walking again. But in the nine years since his accident, he made personal progress to regain respect and admiration, founded the Christopher Reeve Paralysis Foundation, a non-profit research organization, and used his fame to raise millions of dollars for research into spinal cord injuries.
He also provided hope and inspiration to other patients and made speeches to support scientists to be allowed to conduct stem cell research in the hopes of eventually curing paralysis and other illnesses such as diabetes and Alzheimer's and Parkinson's disease.
“He has been our champion. If you think of spinal injuries, you automatically recall a picture of Christopher Reeve,” said Paul Smith, executive director of the Spinal Injuries Association in England. It is because of Reeve that spinal cord injuries and stem cell research are so widely discussed, according to Smith. The fact that it happened to Reeve showed it can affect anyone, even Superman.
Reeve did not live long enough to see whether stem cell research could help restore movement to the paralyzed. The research is still in its early days and no one knows what advances it may bring.
（1）Which of the following words can best describe the characteristics of Reeve?
A.strong-willed and caring.
B.tough and persuasive.
C.caring and reliable.
D.sympathetic and considerate.
（2）The purpose of paragraph 2 is to show us that .
A.Reeve was not as capable as the image he acted in his film
B.the image of Superman created by Reeve will always be remembered
C.Reeve is no more than an ordinary person when he was faced with paralysis
D.the inspiring image in Reeve’s real life was even greater than that in his film
（3）Reeve made the following contributions to the scientific research except .
A.setting up a non-profit research organization
B.winning public respect and admiration by overcoming obstacles
C.influencing the world by making speeches on stem cell research
D.struggling for the permission to conduct stem cell research
（4）It can be implied from the passage that .
A.Reeve remained optimistic after suffering from paralysis
B.stem cell research has long been a controversial subject
C.paralysis can happen to anyone no matter how strong he seems
D.some presently incurable illnesses are to be cured in the near future
（5）Which of the following can be the best title for the passage?
A.A Fighter of Spinal Cord Injuries
B.A Real Hero in Film
C.A Forever Superman
D.A Struggling Life

【题目】
How do you enter a room full of strangers? Do you walk right in full of confidence? Or do you try to slip in without being noticed? ___【1】___
In life, we admire those who do their tasks confidently. We prefer people who appear to know what they are doing. But where does that confidence begin?
Developing self-confidence starts very early. It’s parents’ role to get kids on the right track toward becoming confident people. ___【2】___ That can be done by focusing on the child’s strengths. Parents should encourage their children to try new things and take risks. When children make mistakes, their parents should still let them know that they are loved. Children whose parents do these things will likely develop into confident adults. ___【3】___ So what’s the solution?
With most things in life, practice makes perfect, and that is true of confidence skills. ___【4】___
Always hold your head high and look people in the eye. Answer questions clearly and confidently.
Focus on the things that you do well, and look for opportunities to use those abilities.
Prepare thoroughly for every project. You’ll approach the task more confidently knowing that you are ready.
___【5】___ It could be a good test score or a prize from a contest. Remind yourself that one success often leads to the next.
However, all humans fail at times, and you will too. Even with efforts to try all the above, you will never be perfect. But you can learn to love and accept yourself and live your life with confidence.
Keep in mind an item that reminds you of a recent success. The more you practice them, the easier they will become. The way you go into new situations show your level of self-confidence. Our goal is to prepare students to go into the world with confidence. To help that process, parents should always offer more praise than criticism. Learning from mistakes helps you face the same situation later without fear. But self-confidence still doesn’t come easily. |
