21、A new study finds that experimenting with skipping one meal each day enables your cells to recharge and use all the available fuel, which ensures insulin (胰岛素) function remains at its peak the next morning.

The research found that body weight, measured by body mass index (BMI 体重指数), corresponds with when we eat and how often we eat. Specifically, people who eat larger breakfasts and adopt an 18-hour overnight fast (禁食), say from 1 pm to 7 am, have the lowest body weights. Those who ate more than three meals, or three meals plus snacks, had higher BMIs. Those who ate later in the day, after 6 pm, compared to those having the largest meal at breakfast or lunch, had higher body weights.

The Loma Linda University researchers assume that 18-hour overnight dietary fasts reboot our metabolisms to help our bodies burn calories efficiently. Lead author Dr Hana Kahleova, director of clinical research at the nonprofit Physicians Committee, says this process ensures that our energy intake is related to energy output, instead of energy reserves. Contrary to popular belief, these extended overnight fasts seem to help boost metabolic function. Kahleova also finds

meals consumed in the evening, compared to those eaten in the morning, result in raised blood sugar. Like a clog (障碍) in a machine, extra glucose (葡萄糖) slows our bodies’ metabolic process down.

What does this mean to you? Let’s say you consume 1,500 to 1,800 calories a day. Instead of splitting 500 to 600 calories evenly at each meal, you could experiment with eating 600 to 700 calories for breakfast, 600 to 700 calories for lunch and 300 to 400 calorie for a light dinner. A more moderate application of this research may be to have big brunches or breakfasts instead of holiday dinners and evening birthday parties to support long-term weight maintenance.

【1】What makes for the lowest BMIs according to the research?

A．Eating three meals evenly on a regular basis.

B．Having a larger portion of breakfast plus snacks.

C．Starting an 18-hour overnight fast after a big breakfast.

D．Skipping breakfast and eating more at lunch and dinner.

【2】What will Dr Hana Kahleova probably agree?

A．Overnight fasts boost metabolism to lose weight efficiently.

B．The finding of the study is consistent with the common belief.

C．The process breaks the balance of energy intake and energy output.

D．Breakfast is more likely to increase blood sugar compared to dinner.

【3】What can we learn from the research?

A．We should adopt the fasting approach to the maximum.

B．We can continue holiday dinners and evening birthday parties.

C．It’s worse to eat low-calorie meals and work out in the morning.

D．It’s better to rearrange meals and consume more calories in the morning.

【4】Which of the following would be the best title for the passage?

A．The Way Human Energy Systems Operate

B．Can Skipping Dinner Help You Lose Weight?

C．Can Fasts Slow Down Your Bodies’ Metabolic Process?

D．The importance Of Maintaining A Healthy Body Weight

22、   For decades, television networks have produced no shortage of entertaining shows featuring food. The success of these shows is a clear indication of the strong appeal of the cookery experience to people. Whether it’s recipe instructions, review of a restaurant or coverage (专访) of a chef, people are hungry to find out more about the food they eat.

One of the latest entries among the food programs is the Emmy-nominated Award Netflix series, Chef’s Table, which features more than just ways to prepare fine food. Viewers tune in to each episode (一集) to hear a personal story from a distinguished chef. Each chef’s tale is heart-touching with their own unique life experience. Take American chef Grant Achatz for example. The journey to operating one of the highest ranked restaurants in North America took a very personal turn. In 2007, Achatz was diagnosed with mouth cancer and lost his sense of taste. Amazingly, he regained it, and has gone on to pioneer a new “progressive American” style of cooking.

Each chef has his own fascinating story, and the series highlights an important common thread among them: culture. Because food is so connected with the culture it comes from, each chef represents whatever traditions and cooking techniques they’ve come out of. They combine their culture’s traditional cooking with new tastes. In fact, many chefs work tirelessly at redefining an entire culture’s expectation for eating.

Despite having a number of unconventional elements associated with their cooking, one thing is clear: Cooking is an incredibly meaningful experience for each chef. One guest described his time at one chef’s restaurant by saying “Eating there is like looking at someone who has put his soul into the food”.

【1】What does the success of the food programs show?

A.More and more chefs are in demand.

B.These programs are a new fashion trend.

C.People are hungry to find out what they eat.

A.It is the latest entry among the food programs.

B.It is an award-winning TV series featuring unique chefs.

C.People watch it just to hear the heart-touching stories.

D.Grant Achatz is the most famous chef in the program.

【3】What does the author intend to tell readers in Paragraph 3?

A.Culture counts a lot in cooking and eating.

B.The chefs are trying to change the eating culture.

C.A good chef should highlight traditional cooking.

D.Each chef has his own attractive story about culture.

【4】What is the best title for the text?

A.Chef’s Story B.Food and Culture

C.A Popular Entertaining Program D.Chef’s Table: Food with a Story

23、   Cryonics is the practice of cooling dead organic tissue. This is used on humans or animals that have recently died. The hope is to bring them back to life in the near future. By law, it can only be performed on humans after they are legally dead. Many scientists and doctors think cryonics is totally morally unacceptable. However, there are also many who support cryonics.

Supporters of cryonics hope that future technology will improve. Molecular technology is especially hoped to reverse (逆转) the early stages of clinical death. It is hoped that this will enable the repair of tissue on a very tiny level. It could also allow damaged tissues and organs to regenerate. They also assume that disease and aging will one day be reversible.

These supporters want to store the memory and identity from the brain of people who have recently died. Cryonics attempts to do this by using liquid that preserves the brain. If this is done before cooling, it will prevent injury. This cooling liquid saves the fine cell structures of the brain where memory and identity exist.

Critics of cryonics think this process is a waste of time and money. They base their opinions on the current level of science. It is true that cells, tissues, blood vessels, and some small animal organs can be reversibly preserved. Some frogs can even survive for a few months in a partially frozen state if they are kept a few degrees above freezing. But this is not true cryopreservation. There is no proof that the identity and memory of a person can be restored after death has occurred.

Critics also think that if it were possible to bring dead people back to life, it would cause many social problems. Critics worry it would cause a huge overpopulation problem. Many also think trying to reverse death is immoral because it is against the will of their God.

【1】What can we know about cryonics from paragraph 1?

A.Cryonics is used before people's death.

B.All scientists aren't in favor of the use of cryonics.

C.Laws forbid the use of cryonics on legally dead people.

D.Cryonics tries to cool dead organic tissue by using liquid.

【2】What does the underlined word 'regenerate' in paragraph 2 mean?

A.copy. B.return.

C.freeze. D.regrow.

【3】Why do critics oppose the use of cryonics?

A.It will make people's memory lost.

B.Injury will occur during the process.

C.There is scientific uncertainty about it.

D.It goes along with their religious belief.

【4】What is the main idea of the text?

A.The use of cryonics has a bright future.

B.Cryonics is still a controversial practice.

C.The practice of cryonics is limited by law.

D.There is an advance in medical technology.
