16、ch as Mexico peppers, the strong flavor comes from a compound(化合物)，which does not exist in sweet peppers or onions. Studies have suggested that this compound can offer wealth of health benefits. A study of more than 16，000 people in the United States showed that individuals who consumed red chili p

17、eppers had a lower risk of death from all causes over an average of 18 years than those who did not eat the spicy food. Compared with participants who did not consume hot red chili peppers, those who did were found to be at a 13 percent reduced risk of all－cause death. For example, a recent study r

18、eported by Medical News Today, found that the compound might have the potential to stop breast cancer, while an earlier study linked the compound to a reduced risk of digest system cancers. Still, the available data suggested that hot red chili pepper consumption was most strongly associated with a

19、reduced risk of death from heart disease. While the researchers are unable to identify the specific compound by which red chili peppers might extend lifespan, the team says that it is likely due to the compound that is effectively against obesity(肥胖癥)． Overall, the team says that these latest find

20、ings support those of the 2015 study, linking spicy foods intake to reduced risk of death by showing “a significant decrease in death associated with hot red chili pepper consumption”. However, Chopan and Littenberg note that the earlier study was only conducted in Chinese adults, so the new researc

21、h makes these findings more credible． 【解題導(dǎo)語】　一項(xiàng)新的研究發(fā)現(xiàn)，食用紅辣椒之類的辛辣食物可能會降低死亡風(fēng)險(xiǎn)，延長人類的壽命。 1．What can be inferred from the passage?

22、 death risk. C　解析：推理判斷題。根據(jù)倒數(shù)第二段內(nèi)容可知，盡管研究人員還不清楚到底是哪種具體的化合物能夠延長壽命，但是研究團(tuán)隊(duì)認(rèn)為可能是一種對防治肥胖癥有效的化合物。由此可以推斷，這種物質(zhì)能夠控制肥胖。故選C項(xiàng)。 2．What is the finding of the new research mainly about? A．Hot red chili pepper lovers develop no cancers. B．Hot red chili peppers help control breast illness. C．Hot red chili pepper

23、s decrease heart disease. D．Hot red chili pepper intake may increase lifespan. D　解析：推理判斷題。文章在第一段就提出了研究發(fā)現(xiàn)食用辛辣食物如紅辣椒能延長壽命，在下文中用具體的數(shù)據(jù)和例子來支持這一觀點(diǎn)。由此可知，這個(gè)新發(fā)現(xiàn)主要是關(guān)于紅辣椒的食用可能會延長壽命。故選D項(xiàng)。 3．Which of the following has the closest meaning to the underlined word “credible”？ A．Convincing. B．Practical. C．Encour

24、aging. D．Attractive. A　解析：詞義猜測題。文章第二段和第三段的數(shù)據(jù)和事例是在美國進(jìn)行的研究，畫線詞所在句則提到，以前的研究只是在中國成年人中進(jìn)行的，那么現(xiàn)在的研究結(jié)果使得這項(xiàng)新發(fā)現(xiàn)更加令人信服了。convincing意為“使人信服的”；practical意為“切實(shí)可行的”；encouraging意為“令人鼓舞的”；attractive意為“有吸引力的”。故選A項(xiàng)。 任務(wù)型閱讀 An Extension of the Human Brain Other people can help us compensate for our mental and emotio

25、nal deficiencies(欠缺), much as a wooden leg can compensate for a physical deficiency. To be exact, other people can extend our intelligence and help us understand and adjust our emotions. When another person helps us in such ways, he or she is participating in what I’ve called a “social prosthetic(義肢

26、的) system”. Such systems do not need to operate face-to-face, and it’s clear to me that the Internet is expanding the range of my own social prosthetic systems. It’s already a big bank of many minds. Even in its current state, the Internet has extended my memory and judgment. Regarding memory: Once

27、 I look up something on the Internet, I don’t need to keep all the details for future use—I know where to find that information again and can quickly and easily do so. More generally, the Internet functions as if it were my memory. This function of the Internet is particularly striking when I’m wri

28、ting; I’m no longer comfortable writing if I’m not connected to the Internet. It’s become natural to check facts as I write, taking a minute or two to dip into PubMed, Wikipedia, or other websites. Regarding judgment: The Internet has made me smarter in matters small and large. For example, when I’

29、m writing a textbook, it has become second nature to check a dozen definitions of a key term, which helps me dig into the core and understand its meaning. But more than that, I now regularly compare my views with those of many others. If I have a “new idea”， I now quickly look to see whether somebod

30、y else has already thought of it, or something similar—and I then compare what I think with what others have thought. This certainly makes my own views cleaner.Moreover, I can find out whether my reactions to an event are reasonable enough by reading about those of others on the Internet. These eff

31、ects of the Internet have become even more striking since I’ve begun using a smartphone. I now regularly pull out my phone to check a fact, watch a video, and read weibo.Such activities fill the spaces that used to be deadtime (such as waiting for somebody to arrive for a lunch meeting)． But that’s

32、 the upside(好處). The downside in that in those dead periods I often would let my thoughts flow and sometimes would have an unexpected insight or idea. Those opportunities are now fewer and farther between. An Extension of the Human Brain A prosthetic nature ·The 1.____________can help make up for

33、 our mental and emotional deficiencies as a wooden leg can compensate for a bodily deficiency. ·It 2.____________in our daily events, extending our intelligence, comprehending our feelings, and expanding the range of social activities.

It provides a dozen definitions of a key term for us to find the 5.____________of the matter. ·The Internet enables us to exchange id

37、’ve called a ‘social prosthetic(義肢的) system’”可知，對我們有幫助的這些人或物參與到了我們的日常生活中來，因此本題答案是participates/joins。 3．keeping　解析：根據(jù)第二段中的“I don’t need to keep all the details for future use” 可知，我們沒有必要記住這些信息，因此本題答案為keeping。 4．a(chǎn)ll/different/various　解析：根據(jù)第三段中的“...has made me smarter in matters small and large”可知，因特網(wǎng)

38、使作者在大事和小事上都很聰明，matters small and large 就相當(dāng)于all/different/various kinds of things“各種各樣的事情”。 5．heart/core　解析：根據(jù)第三段中的“helps me dig into the core” 可知，本題答案為heart/core。 6．check　解析：根據(jù)第三段中的“it has become second nature to check a dozen definitions of a key term” 可知，因特網(wǎng)可以讓我們?nèi)ズ藢?shí)我們的想法，因此本題的答案為check。 7．judge　

39、解析：根據(jù)第一段最后一句中的“the Internet has extended my memory and judgment”和第三段最后一句可知， 因特網(wǎng)可以讓我們判斷自己對于某件事的反應(yīng)是否合理，因此本題答案為judge。 8．mixed/two　解析：文章的最后兩段闡述了智能手機(jī)給人們生活帶來的好的和不好的影響，因此本題答案為mixed/two。 9．convenient　解析：根據(jù)倒數(shù)第二段中的regularly可知智能手機(jī)使得使用網(wǎng)絡(luò)非常便利，因此本題答案為convenient。 10．reduce　解析：根據(jù)最后一句可知現(xiàn)在這樣的機(jī)會很少了，故本題答案為 reduce。

Feeding time for seals was less painful，but their performances still seemed like they belonged more in a circus. And I hated circuses，especially the animal acts—men teasing lions，girls balancing on el

Happily，during my lifetime public attitudes and the law have changed.Circuses using wild animals are now almost extinct，and zoos have definitel

When my children were young，I occasionally took them to our local zoo.The elephants were in tiny cages and the gorillas looked bored as they sat peeling bananas and staring at teasing visitors.Each cage had a sign which listed the animal’s name and where it came from.But，back then，there was little information included about the environmental challenges they faced. As a result，environmentalists and animal lovers often oppose zoos.“Animals belong in the wild” is a common and understan
