27、A new study suggests that people who drank a certain amount of alcohol（酒）had a lower risk of cancer and death than those who drank more or none during a nine-year period. And with each additional drink a week, the risk of cancer and death from any cause increased, the scientists reported.

However, the study found only an association between alcohol and cancer and death, and did not prove cause and effect, the researches said. What sets the new study apart, said lead study author Andrew Kunzmann, is that previous studies looked at cancer and death separately. “What our study does is combine the two outcomes together and we find that lighter drinking is associated with the lowest risk of cancer or death,” Kunzmann said.

But Kunzmann noted that the participants（参与者）were all older adults. That means that “we’re not really showing what happens in younger people if they drink,” he said. Also, it’s difficult to account for other lifestyles that could have affected the results. “These could also influence health. But the results did take into consideration differences in diet, smoking and education among participants,” Kunzmann noted.

The researchers said that they hope their study sparks conversation about reducing the suggested alcohol intake in countries’ guidelines. “We’re not telling people what they can or can’t do or what they can or can’t drink,” Kunzmann said. “We’re just trying to give them reliable evidence so that they can make their own informed, healthy decisions.”

28、阅读理解。

Ask someone what they have done to help the environment recently and they will almost certainly mention recycling.Recycling in the home is very important of course.However,being forced to recycle often means we already have more material than we need.We are dealing with the results of that overconsumption in the greenest way,but it would be far better if we did not need to bring so much material home in the first place.

The total amount of packaging increased by 12% between 1999 and 2005.It now makes up a third of a typical household’s waste in the UK.In many supermarkets nowadays food items are packaged twice with plastic and cardboard.

Too much packaging is doing serious damage to the environment.The UK,for example,is running out of it for carrying this unnecessary waste.If such packaging is burnt,it gives off greenhouse gases which go on to cause the greenhouse effect.Recycling helps,but the process itself uses energy.The solution is not to produce such items in the first place.Food waste is a serious problem,too.Too many supermarkets encourage customers to buy more than they need.However,a few of them are coming round to the idea that this cannot continue and encouraging customers to reuse their plastic bags.

But this is not just about supermarkets.It is about all of us.We have learned to associate packaging with quality.We have learned to think that something unpackaged is of poor quality.This is especially true of food.But it also applies to a wide range of consumer products,which often have far more packaging than necessary.

There are signs of hope.As more of us recycle,we are beginning to realize just how much unnecessary material we are collecting.We need to face the wastefulness of our consumer culture,but we have a mountain to climb.

【1】The author uses figures in Paragraph 2 to show .

A.the tendency of cutting household waste

B.the increase of packaging recycling

C.the rapid growth of supermarkets

D.the fact of packaging overuse

【2】According to the text,recycling .

A.helps control the greenhouse effect

B.means burning packaging for energy

C.is the solution to gas shortage

D.leads to a waste of land

【3】What can be inferred from Paragraph 4?

A.Unpackaged products are of bad quality.

B.Supermarkets care more about packaging.

C.It is improper to judge quality by packaging.

D.Other products are better packaged than food.

【4】What can we learn from the last paragraph?

A.Fighting wastefulness is difficult.

B.Needless material is mostly recycled.

C.People like collecting recyclable waste.

D.The author is proud of their consumer culture.

29、When I was six, Dad brought home a dog one day, who was called “Brownie”. My brothers and I all loved Brownie and did different things with her. One of us would walk her, another would feed her, then there were baths, playing catch and many other games. Brownie, in return, loved each and every one of us. One thing that most touched my heart was that she would go to whoever was sick and just be with them. We always felt better when she was around.

One day, as I was getting her food, she chewed up(咬破)one of Dad’s shoes, which had to be thrown away in the end. I knew Dad would be mad and I had to let her know what she did was wrong. When I looked at her and said, “Bad girl,” she looked down at the ground and then went and hid. I saw a tear in her eyes.

Brownie turned out to be more than just our family pet, she went everywhere with us .People would stop and ask if they could pet her. Of course she’d let anyone pet her. She was just the most lovable dog. There were many times when we’d be out walking and a small child would come over and pull on her hair. she never barked(吠) or tried to get away. Funny thing is she would smile. This frightened people because they thought she was showing her teeth. Far from the truth, she loves everyone. 新|课 | 标|第  |一| 网
