27、   A nice warm cup of tea a day might keep glaucoma (青光眼) at bay,according to new research published in the British Journal of Ophthalmology.

Risk of developing glaucoma — one of the leading causes of blindness around the world that currently affects nearly 58 million people — might be lowered by drinking hot tea daily. The disease causes fluid to build up inside the eye that puts pressure onto the optic nerve (视神经). Previous research said that caffeine (咖啡因) might prevent this build-up but the new findings showed that drinking decaffeinated and caffeinated coffee, iced caffeinated tea and caffeinated sodas had no effect on glaucoma risk.

In the new study, researchers looked at the National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey for the 2005 — 2006 year of 10,000 adults and children. The data is from interviews with the patients, their physical exams and blood tests. That specific year also included eye tests for glaucoma in 1678 adults and showed that about 5% had the disease. Those patients were asked how many caffeinated and decaffeinated drinks they consumed during that year and how often. The results of the questionnaire showed that those who drank hot tea daily were 74% less likely to develop glaucoma than their peers who didn’t.

“Tea has long been recognized to have various chemicals that contribute to lowering the risk of heart disease, cancer and diabetes,” the researchers said. But further study is needed to determine if things like the size of the cup,type of tea and length of brew (冲泡) time influence the results.

【1】What can we learn about glaucoma?

A. It can be cured by drinking hot tea daily.

B. It is a great threat to people’s eyesight.

C. It affects nearly 58 million people yearly.

D. It is caused by too much pressure on the eyes.

【2】What did previous research find?

A. Drinking coffee reduces glaucoma risk.

B. Iced tea has no effect on glaucoma risk.

C. Caffeine does good to glaucoma patients.

D. Caffeine causes fluid to build up in the eyes.

【3】How was the new study carried out?

A. By interviewing patients.

B. By testing participants’ eyes.

C. By handing out questionnaires.

D. By studying data from previous studies.

【4】What does the underlined phrase “those patients” in Paragraph 3 refer to?

A. The 10,000 adults. B. The 1,678 adults.

C. The 5% adults. D. The 74% adults.

28、Every auntie I know has a kitchen drawer containing (容纳) a carefully kept collection of yogurt dabbas. Dabba is an Indian word for “box”, but it refers to all kinds of containers, too. Dabbas live many lives: the containers holding the yogurt we eat every day are saved and washed and washed again.

The reused dabbas end up storing food and pot luck contributions. They pass from house to house, living in their drawer or the fridge. Sometimes they are even returned to their original (最初的) owners full of some other delicious food. This is a fairly advanced skill and one only the elder aunties manage-recognizing their dabba from their friends’ seemingly same container is nothing short of miraculous (奇迹般的).

But just as every auntie values her dabbas, every uncle hates them. “How many of these things can you possibly need?” my father used to ask my mother, extremely annoyed. She would shoot him a look that would surely have killed a weaker man and place her dabba carefully back.

When I went away to university, my mom used to cook food and send it to me with strict instructions to wash the dabbas and bring them home. I felt awkward about my dabbas — why did we need to save these things? I weighed the choices: if I threw away the dabbas, would she still send me food? I knew the answer was yes, but it wasn’t a risk I was prepared to take.

Finally, I found my way to Halifax, where I now have a family of my own. Like my mother, I’m also the proud owner of a rich dabba collection, which I guard seriously. My husband is an American. Dealing with cultural differences is surely an adventure. The other night, I saw him throw my dabbas into the recycling bin. I narrowed my eyes a little as I fished them out, washed them up and replaced them in their drawer. I was practicing my mother’s death look.

【1】What does the advanced skill in paragraph 2 suggest?

A．The elder aunties value their dabbas a lot.

B．Dabbas strengthen the ties between friends.

C．It isn’t hard to tell the difference between dabbas.

D．The elder aunties have unique skills in preserving dabbas.

【2】How did the author deal with the dabbas sent by her mom when in university?

A．She threw them away.

B．She sold them for money.

C．She sent them to a recycling center.

D．She washed them and brought them home.

【3】How does the author sound in the last paragraph?

A．Humorous.

B．Confused.

C．Curious.

D．Frightened.

【4】What can be a suitable title for the text?

A．Hidden Functions of Dabbas

B．The Adventure of Dabbas

C．The Many Lives of Dabbas

D．Mom’s Collection of Dabbas

29、In the Amazon rainforest, which is home to various kinds of wildlife, an American biologist has discovered a strange new species of ant, The Times reported. It has no eyes and gets a pale body and its fanglike mouthparts are longer than the rest of its head.

If you came across the peculiar ant, you might think that it belongs on another planet. Even its name— Martialis Heureka— playfully suggests that it came from Mars. And this discovery is forcing researchers to rethink what they know about the history of ants on our planet.

Christian Rabeling, from the University of Texas at Austin, discovered the new species amid the fallen leaves of the rainforest. But he did more than just notice how bizarre the ant looks. He also analyzed its genetic material, or DNA.

Comparing DNA among species can give scientists insights into family trees: The more DNA two species share in common, the more closely related they are, and the more recently they split off from ancestor.

Rabeling’s DNA analysis of Martialis Heureka showed that the species is only distantly related to other ant species. It’s so distant that it actually belonging in a separate subfamily. The last minute scientists found a new subfamily of living ants was in 1923, say the discoverers.

The DNA analysis also suggested that Martialis Heureka appeared on earth earlier than any other an living here today. And observations suggest that the ant lives undergound, paleness and blindness are two major clues. Some of the other oldest known ant species also live underground. So now, scientists are trying to figure out whether ants first evolved underground, or if they evolved above ground and then went under. A few other ant species have at least one of Martialis Heureka’s odd features, but none share them all.

So far, Rabeling has collected only one ant from the new species. Finding more specimens, he hopes, will help us better understand the science and history of ants on earth.

【1】The underlined word “bizarre” in paragraph 3 is closest in meaning to________.

A．funny

B．peculiar

C．unique

D．distinct

【2】What did the scientists find about Martialis Heureka?

A．It’s closely related to other ant species.

B．It is the first ant to appear on earth.

C．It lives underground where it first developed.

D．Blindness and light color indicates it lives underground.

【3】What can we infer from the last paragraph?

A．Martialis Heureka was found by accident.

B．Much is to be done to collect more ants.

C．Little known about the ant history.

D．More ants from the new species are needed
