Although people who only exercise at weekends might be more likely to reach for a sports drink，serious athletes know there are better choices. And a new study from Appalachian State University offers proof that bananas may be a
25、better choice than sports drinks after exercise. Researchers analyzed the blood of 20 competitive cyclists after they were given water and bananas，water only，or a 6 percent sugar drink (a sports drink) every 15 minutes during a 47mile bike ride. The study found that the carbohydrates(碳水化合物) in banan

Bananas also provide greater antiinflammatory benefits than sports drinks. “Consuming bananas with water during exercise has several advantages for athletes above those linked to
27、 regular sports drinks，” Dr David Nieman said in a statement. “Banana metabolites(代谢物)that increase in the blood have a similar effect to aspirin that inhibits (抑制) COX2 activity.

30、ooking at other fruits as exercise companions. “Were starting to look at blueberries，because we think with bananas they might work even better，” Nieman says. 28What is the aim of the study described in Paragraph 2?ATo test for the effects of bananas. BTo find out the best way to recover. CTo prove s
31、ports drinks are useless. DTo find out if sports drink are antiinflammatory. 29Why are bananas regarded to be the perfect athletic food?ABecause bananas are full of nutrients. BBecause bananas can be easily digested. CBecause bananas can be of some medical value. DBecause bananas are similar to regu

DWhether we should replace AIDs with bananas. 31What might Dr. David Nieman agree with?APeople shouldnt replace sports drinks with fruits.
33、 BBananas offer more to sportsmen than sports drinks. CBlueberries are better for sportsmen than sports drinks. DPeople shouldnt eat or drink too much when exercising.

Both the technologies used to make Xins performance impressive are mature. The real difficulty
39、lies in the thirdthe technology to match the pronunciations with facial movements so that Xins expressions vary according to the content of the news report. In fact，Xins expressions dont always change according to the content. As a result，her expressions look anything but human. Actually，AI is still
