This is based on a study involving about 900, 000 people, spanning many years.The study, started in 1992
10、by the American Cancer Society, included men and women from all 50 states. The youngest participants were 30 years old, and the average age was 57. By December 2008, 24% of the participants had died, just a quarter of them from cancers. In analyzing the results, researchers attempted to take account
11、 of such potential factors as smoking, drinking alcohol, taking aspirin and a wide variety of other factors that might otherwise affect the results.来源:Zxxk.Com来源:学科网ZXXKThe results are clear: the more you weigh, the greater your risk of dying of cancer will be (up to 52% higher for men and 62% for w
12、omen). In men as well as women, the only cancers that did not have a strong connection with weight were lung cancer and brain cancer. For women, the strongest correlation with weight was uterine cancer (子宫癌), which is 6.5 times higher for women with a BMI (Body Mass Index) of 40 or more. For men, it
13、 was liver cancer, which is 4.5 times higher in most obese (肥胖的) men.来源:Z+xx+k.ComSmokers tend to be more successful in keeping weight off than nonsmokers, slightly reducing the risk. But many of them dont have good lungs. Thus, in another way, they also face risks.As for why extra weight leads to e
14、xcess cancer death rate, theres no clear agreement. But the decrease in vitamin D in obese people seems a likely factor. Vitamin D is known to have a role in preventing cancer. Also，there is a simple fact that obesity makes the management of cancer more difficult. Although for now there is no simple

19、red the “switch” that tells the brain to go to sleep, reported Forbes.To understand the study, you first need to know that there are two mechanisms (机能) that regulate sleep. Theres one that were already familiar with our body clock, which works in a 24hour cycle based on the light changes throughout
20、 the day.The other one is what scientists call the sleep “homeostat (动态平衡系统)”. This mechanism has nothing to do with daylight. Instead, it keeps track of the brains waking hours and urges it to rest if it has been awake for a long time. “It is similar to the thermostat (自动调温器) in your home. A thermo
21、stat measures temperature and switches on the heating if its too cold，”Professor Gero Miesenbck, who led the study, told The Telegraph.Our bodies use both of the mechanisms to regulate sleep. “The body clock says its the right time, and the sleep thermostat has built up pressure during a long waking
22、 day，” explained Miesenbck.There is no way that scientists can track the body clock. But with the sleep homeostat, there might be something they can do.The researchers found that the sleep homeostat works by activating a specific group of nerve cells, or neurons, in the brain. They tested their theo
23、ry on fruit flies by removing the neurons from the insects brains. And as expected, they found that the flies without the homeostat neurons did not keep a regular sleep pattern anymore.Now that scientists have pinpointed (定位) the exact place in the brain or, the “switch” that regulates sleep, they c
24、an begin investigating (研究) how to activate these cells at any given time so that people can be sent to sleep instantly.More importantly, figuring out how sleep mechanisms work may also help us to one day unravel one of the oldest mysteries of all: why do we need to sleep in the first place?5What is

28、 of答 案.1.选B句意：我的朋友鲍勃拥有公司大部分股份，剩余的都由其他的员工持有。 take possession of sth. 和 in the possession of sb. 均为固定搭配，意思分别为“占有某物”和“被某人占有”。2选C句意：这个年轻人不是特别有天赋，但他总是最大限度地利用自己的能力，使自己的潜力最大化，最终获得了事业上的成功。principle“原则，原理”；dimension“方面，侧面”；potential“潜力”；boundary“界限，分界线”。3选B句意：虽然没有令人信服的证据，但大多数人都认为他有罪。从题干中的no conclusive eviden
29、ce与后面的guilty看，这里表示转折，因此用while引导让步状语从句，表示“尽管，虽然”。4选D句意：每次我参加朋友的大型聚会时总是与那些独自坐着的人交谈，以免他们觉得自己被孤立了。feel left out“被忽视，觉得被冷落”，符合句意。let out“发出(叫声)，泄露”；wipe out“擦掉，消灭”；make out “辨别出，辨认出”。5选D句意：轮到约翰逊谈话时他谈了很多。然而，我认为他的话与我们的话题不相关。他只是想表达自己。relevant“相关的，切题的”；considerate“周到的，体贴的”； abnormal“反常的”；beneficial“有益的”。6选D句
30、意：“今天下午工程师抽不出任何时间。”“如果是这样的话，我们能自己修理这台电脑吗？”if any“如果有的话”；if ever“如果曾经有过的话”；if only“要是就好了”；if so“如果是这样的话”。7选C句意：在一些专家看来，最近的严重雾霾天气在某种程度上可以加快中国经济结构的调整。advocate“提倡”；accumulate“积累，积聚”；accelerate“(使)加快”；appreciate“感激，欣赏”。8选C句意：学校应该教会学生使用计算机技术，这是至关重要的。在“It is vital that .”句型中，从句谓语动词用“should动词原形”，should可省略。t

32、行词一致。故选B。13选B句意：和你的命运有关的问题不能想当然，你要认真考虑。这里需要非谓语动词做定语，因为be related to . 表示“和有关”，所以用过去分词做定语，选B。14选D句意：“这部电影有可能入围巴黎国际艺术节吗？”“一点都不可能，因为观众对此电影评价很低。”选项在句中作介词of的宾语，应使用动名词形式，根据句意可知，介词of后的名词the film为try out的逻辑主语，且两者之间为被动关系，故应用动名词的被动结构。15选Aremain“剩余，遗留”，是不及物动词，没有被动语态，由此可排除B、D两项；根据句意可知，此处表示的是森林的现状，故用一般现在时。.语篇解读：
33、本文是一篇科普说明文。研究发现肥胖会增加一个人死于癌症的机率，尽管原因尚不确定，但联系是确实存在的。1选B细节理解题。根据第一段第一句并结合全文内容可知，本文主要说明了肥胖与各种癌症有关系。2选C写作手法题。本文第一段提出了中心，第二段介绍了研究过程，第三、四、五段通过进行对比、分析得出了结论。3选A词义猜测题。“spanning many years”在句中作后置定语，修饰“study”，所以根据第二段可知，这次研究从1992年开始到2008年底结束，历时17年左右，由此可知，“spanning”的意思是“持续”。4选D细节理解题。根据倒数第二段可知，尽管吸烟者比不吸烟者容易减肥，但许多吸烟
34、者的肺有问题，所以也有风险，由此可知，D项正确。语篇解读：本文是一篇说明文。除了生物钟可以调节我们的睡眠以外，还有研究发现的睡眠动态平衡系统，而且我们的身体往往使用生物钟和睡眠动态平衡系统这两个机制来共同调节我们的睡眠。5选B主旨大意题。根据第四段第一句中的“The other one is what scientists call the sleep homeostat(动态平衡系统)”，并结合上下文内容可知，文章主要介绍的是睡眠动态平衡系统的发现。故选 B。6选B写作手法题。根据第四段中的“It is similar to the thermostat(自动调温器).switches on
35、 the heating if its too cold” 可知，作者在解释睡眠动态平衡系统的作用时，利用了对比的手法，通过解释自动调温器的工作原理来解释动态平衡系统的作用。故选 B。7选 C推理判断题。根据第五段第一句“Our bodies use both of the mechanisms to regulate sleep.”可知，我们的身体使用生物钟和睡眠动态平衡系统这两个机制来共同调节我们的睡眠，因此 C 项符合题意。故选 C。8选B词义猜测题。根据最后一段画线词前后的内容“figuring out how sleep mechanisms work may also help us to one day” 和“one of the oldest mysteries of all”，并结合选项可推知，弄清睡眠机制的工作方式可能有助于我们有一天解开最古老的奥秘之一，因此画线词的词义与“figure out”最为接近。故选 B。
