Criticizing parents for giving their children lunch money.An occasional drink with dinner could reduce the risk of having a stroke (中风) according to a new study. Researchers found that light to moderate drinkers can lower their risk by about 20 per

10、cent compared with non-drinkers.The study was the biggest ever to examine the link between alcohol and stroke. It showed that as little as a single glass of wine or beer per week can significantly reduce stroke risk. The study involved more than 22,000 men, but the researchers said the results could

11、 also apply to women.However, the researchers stressed it would be unwise for doctors to advise patients who dont drink to suddenly start or those who drink small amounts to begin consuming more heavily. The study found no added protection from stroke by drinking more than lightly or moderately.And

12、researchers warned of possible harms posed by alcohol, such as liver damage, the dangers of driving while drunk and the risk of breast cancer in women.Whats more, there are other ways to reduce stroke risk, such as quitting smoking or lowering blood pressure.Numerous studies have shown that modest d

13、rinking reduces the risk of heart disease. But until now, the evidence of an effect on strokes has been less convincing. Early studies were criticized because they simply compared drinkers to non-drinkers. This latest study examined varying levels of alcohol intake. It found that between one drink a

14、 week and one a day reduces the risk, and the lesser amount was about as good as the higher one.21. The study was the biggest ever because A. it has been published latelyB. it involved more than 22,000 menC. it provided some advice to doctorsD. the results could also apply to women22. Which of the f

15、ollowing ways is NOT mentioned in the passage to reduce stroke risk?A. Giving up smoking.B. Lowering blood pressure.C. Drinking lightly and occasionally.D. Taking medicine on time.23. Alcohol does the following harm EXCEPT A. resulting in liver damageB. causing traffic accidentsC. lowering blood pre

16、ssureD. increasing the risk of breast cancer24. The study is considered more successful because it A. compared drinkers to non-drinkersB. tested light drinkersC. looked into heavy drinkersD. examined varying levels of alcohol intake25. The purpose of the study is A. to look at the link between alcoh

17、ol and strokeB. to advise non-drinkers to make a startC. to encourage light drinkers to become heavy drinkersD. to promote the sale of alcoholMany of the most damaging and life-threatening types of weather, such as torrential rains and severe thunderstorms, begin quickly, strike suddenly, and disapp

18、ear rapidly, destroying small regions while leaving neighboring areas untouched. Conventional computer models of the atmosphere have limited value in predicting short-lived local storms I:.ecause the available weather data are generally not detailed enough to allow computers to see clearly the small

19、 atmospheric changes that come before these storms. In most nations, for example, weather balloon observations are taken just once every twelve hours at locations typically separated by hundreds of miles. With such limited data, conventional forecasting models do a much better job predicting general

20、 weather conditions over large regions than they do forecasting specific local events.Until recently, the observation-intensive approach needed for accurate, very short-range forecasts, or “Nowcasts” was impracticable. The cost of equipping and operating many thousands of conventional weather statio

21、ns was extremely high, and the difficulties involved in rapidly collecting and processing the raw weather data from such a network were beyond overcoming. Fortunately, scientific and technological advances have overcome most of these problems. Radar systems, automated weather instruments, and satell

22、ites are all capable of making detailed, nearly continuous observations over large regions at a relatively low cost. Communication satellites can transmit data around the world cheaply and immediately, and modern computers can quickly compile and analyze this large volume of weather information. Met

23、eorologists (气象学家) and computer scientists now work together to design computer programs and video equipment capable of transforming raw weather data into words, symbols, and vivid graphic displays that forecasters can interpret easily and quickly. As meteorologists have begun using these new techno

24、logies in weather forecasting offices, nowcasting is becoming a reality.26. What is the best title of the passage?A. Severe Thunderstorms and Damages.B. Weather Forecasting and Life-threatening Damages.C. Science Advances and Nowcasts.D. Available Data and Nowcasts.27. Nowcasts are A. local forecast

25、sB. short-range forecastsC. medium-range forecastsD. long-range forecasts28. Nowcasts used to be impracticable because A. there were no conventional computersB. the cost of the equipping and operating was sky highC. there were no difficulties in data processingD. there were not enough meteorologists

26、29. Things have been changed by the following EXCEPT A. the use of radar systems and automated instrumentsB. the use of communication satellites and modern computersC. the joint work of meteorologists and computer scientistsD. weather information volume is large enough to compile and analyze30. The

27、dream of Nowcasts will come true when A. the cost is loweredB. people need it to reduce damagesC. meteorologists can make full use of the new technologiesD. conventional weather forecasts are got rid ofBack in the 1870s, Charles Daiwins cousin Francis Galton wanted to define the face of a criminal.

28、He assembled a set of samples by lining them up on a single photographic plate. The surprise is that everybody liked the villain (反面人物), including Galton himself. He reasoned that the villainous irregularities he supposed belonged to criminal faces had disappeared in the averaging process. In the ne

29、xt century, scientists began to show reliably that faces combine digitally on computers were likable-more than the individual faces from which they were composed. Although people clearly admire the long legs of Brazilian model Ana Hickmann or Dolly Partons breasts, in general humans like averages.La

30、st week researchers confirmed that humans judge real faces by their differences or similarities from a norm. But they also found that the norm can change quickly. When researchers showed 164 people, a set of 100 computer generated faces representing a slow transition from male to female-and from Jap

31、anese to Spanish-it turned out that the test subjects idea of what constituted an “average“ face shifted depending on the first face they saw. When they were flashed a super-masculine face, first, more faces on the spectrum impressed them, by contrast, as female. The masculine faces had, in effect,

32、set a standard. From then on, other faces had to be more masculine in order to rate as belonging to the gender. The study noted a similar shift using a scale of faces moving from surprise to disgust.The authors of the study, who published their results, last week in the journal Nature, conclude that

33、 in real life we also quickly change our perception of the midpoint-whats normal-depending on what we see. We may not be aware that our judgment has changed; we simply see differently, says Michael Webster, a psychologist at the University of Nevada in Rena.31. Which of the following can best descri

34、be the main idea of Paragraph 1?A. The way to define the face of a criminal.B. Most people admire the long legs of Ana Hickmann or Dolly Partons breasts.C. Darwins cousin F. Ualton was the first person who began to define faces.D. The relation between the face of the villain and the faces of average

35、s.32. The word which is similar in meaning to “norm“ in Paragraph 2 is A. average B. gender C. transition D. scale33. Which of the following can be an essential factor for people to choose a face he or she likes?A. The whole spectrum of faces.B. The shifting of faces.C. Their differences or similari

36、ties from a norm.D. The flashing of the super-masculine face.34、the sentence in paragraph 2 “from then on , other faces had to be more masculine in order to rate as belonging to the gender” can best mean A、from that face on, more masculine faces have to be shownB、from that masculine faces on, other

37、faces are to be shown with more and more striking masculine featuresC、from the time of setting the standard, other faces had to be more and more masculineD、from the shining of the super-masculine face, other faces should be masculine in gender35、in the last paragraph, the writer of the passage impli

38、es that A、there is no standard in defining a face at all B、peoples judgment of faces is actually subconsciousC、peoples judgment of a face may be different with the trend change D、different people may like different faces in different societies 2004 年阅读理解真题Many parents give lunch money to their teena
