    What would you think if I told you I could eat 40 percent more food than other people-eating boxes
    of ice cream, bowls of noodles and plates of meat-all while losing weight?
    You might hate me, thinking I have one of those annoyingly good metabolisms(新陈代谢)that just
    burn up fat the instant it enters my body. You might wonder if I have an intestinal(肠的)worm, or
    perhaps an eating disorder. Or maybe you'd just shrug your shoulders and figure I have a rich fantasy
    life.
    You'd be wrong.
    For my body to finish such a surprising task, I would have to be a mouse. Not just any mouse, but
    one lucky enough to be involved in a new study at Baylor College of Medicine in Houston.
    After identifying an enzyme(酶)that allows fat to be stored in the body, scientists fed mice without
    those enzymes, and found those mice were able to consume far more food than other mice-and still
    weigh 10 to 15 percent less.
    Best of all, the mice that had no enzymes were in very good health, producing baby mice with no
    problem and generally acting like any other mouse. That's great news for obesity researchers, who think
    that scientists may figure out a way to prevent the fat metabolizing(脂肪代谢)enzyme in humans and
    control weight gain. And such a pill would be very exciting for many people who are struggling to get rid
    of dangerous extra pounds.
    But don't start planning any big dinner just yet. At this point, of course, any pill for humans is but a
    twinkle(闪烁) in the eye of every medicine company's CEO. More tests are to be made, and eventually
    humans will be introduced in the test.
    But for now, unfortunately, control in diet is still the key.
    1. What does "such a surprising task" in Paragraph 4 refer to?
    A. Eating a lot of food while losing weight.
    B. Burning up fat very quickly.
    C. Controlling the diet.
    D. Having a rich fantasy life.
    2. Why did the author say he/she had to be a mouse in Paragraph 4?
    A. Because a mouse can lose weight no matter how much it eats.
    B. Because the weight losing tests were made on the mouse.
    C. Because the mouse has a very good metabolism.
    D. Because the author wants to try the food without the enzyme.
    3. In the experiment, the mice without those enzymes________.
    A. were in good condition
    B. put on weight
    C. became weak
    D. could not have baby mice
    4. What does the author want to show through the last two paragraphs?
    A. You can be free of guilt when having big dinners.
    B. Scientists cannot find the key to identifying the enzyme.
    C. Don't overeat before the test is made on humans.
    D. It is unnecessary to control weight at present.

  • 健康环保类阅读

健康环保累阅读概念:

健康环保类文章常是介绍科学知识、生活常识和环境保护方面的短文。体裁有记叙文、 说明文、议论文和各种应用文。


健康环保类文章阅读技巧:

       健康环保类文章常是介绍科学知识、生活常识和环境保护方面的短文。阅读此类短文要以现象或事物为中心进行思考,理解现象产生的原因、条件和客观规律等。同时要抓住事物的特征、用途和相互关系等。科普环保类文章一般为说明文,从结构上看大致可分为三个部分:
       第一部分一般是文章的首段,主要用来提出文章的主题,即文章想要阐述、说明的主要内容;
       第二部分是文章的主体,可由若干个段落组成,对文章的主题进行展开说明;
       第三部分是结尾段,对文章的主题进行归纳总结。这类文章多用一般现在时,而且一般多使用客观性词语表述。有时为了强调客观性,也常使用被动语态。
       从近几年的考试题来看,科普环保类的文章越来越与人们的实际生活相接近。由于此类文章缺乏故事情节,很多同学对此类文章感到费解。但一般的科普类文章都是就事论事,需要逻辑推理和想象的时候较少,因此此类阅读题也没有同学们想象中的那么难,只要多加训练,就能较好地答题。
【阅读策略】
1、概要(Summarizing):
      阅完材料后,将所阅材料浓缩,摘要,做出所阅材料的书面或口头梗概。
2、组织(Organization):
      阅读后根据阅读内容,识别观点、人物、事件之间的关系以及文章的结构关系。如:时间关系、比较或对比关系、相关关系及因果关系等。
