BBreadfruit is a traditional staple（主食）crop from the Pacific islands with the potential to improve worldwide food security. While people have survived on it for thousands of years, there was a lack of basic scienti

20、fic knowledge of the health impacts of a breadfruit-based diet in both humans and animals. Now the fruit is getting the nutritional thumbs-up from a team of British Columbia researchers. Breadfruit can be harvested, dried and made into a flour. For the project, researchers had four breadfruits from

21、the same tree in Hawaii, shipped to the Murch Lab at UBC Okanagan. Ying Liu led the study examining the digestion and health impact of a breadfruit-based diet. “We wanted to contribute to the development of breadfruit as a sustainable, environmentally-friendly and high-production crop,” Liu says. Th

22、e researchers designed a series of studies that could provide data on the impacts of a breadfruit-based diet fed to mice and also an enzyme （酶）digestion model. The researchers determined that breadfruit protein was found to be easier to digest than wheat protein in the enzyme digestion model. And mi

23、ce fed the breadfruit diet had a significantly higher growth rate and body weight than standard diet-fed mice. Liu also noted mice on the breadfruit diet had a significantly higher daily water consumption compared to mice on the wheat diet. Fundamental understanding of the health impact of breadfrui

24、t digestion and diets is necessary and essential to the establishment of breadfruit as a staple in the future. “Overall, these studies support the use of breadfruit as part of a healthy, nutritionally balanced diet, says Liu. The use of breadfruit could make inroads in food sustainability for many p

25、opulations globally.

28、 food shortage. D. It needs further improvement.CAfter a meeting shortly before the winter break, I walked through the halls of floor 3 in MetaForum, ready to leave the building, when I heard a voice callout my name. It was a friend with whom I shared a connection that is quite rare around this camp

29、us both of us are from Slovakia. Extremely happy lo hear my native language after so long, I joined him in the room that he booked to study in. During our conversation, he revealed to me that first-year committees exist within the study association GEWIS and that he belongs to one. Long story short,

30、 he took me to the GEWIS room where I started the process of joining one committee. Not only did GEWIS give me a social life during the pandemic, but it also presented me with countless exciting activities and opportunities. Unfortunately, most of my international friends cannot relate. During the s

31、ummer break, I got a text from Jort who is now our chairman. He said that there were plans to start a committee to get more internationals involved in GEWIS. Jort is a local student. I was surprised to see him taking such an initiative（主动行动）. I appreciated the sympathy（同情）for the difficulty that int

32、ernationals deal with, so I joined the first meeting. Fast forward to today we are a committee containing 8 different nationalities. You might see us on campus wearing our iconic light-green and purple T-shirts with the word GeLOBAL on it. With our diverse team, there is no shortage of ideas for mak

33、ing GEWIS more international-friendly, and for fun activities. On the 25th of October, we kicked things off with our first official GEWIS activity Around the globe with GeLOBAL. The people who joined took part in a fun yet educational pub quiz involving trivia（冷知识）questions from all around the world

34、. They also got the opportunity to learn useful phrases (such as pick-up lines) from a wide pool of languages. There were snacks and drinks including foreign ones, of course. There was a welcoming, inclusive energy in the air. 28. Why does the author have a rare relationship with his friend?A. They

35、seldom see each other. B. They connect in a special way. C. They come from the same country. D. They dont know each other very well. 29. Which word best describes the authors attitude to GEWIS?A. Grateful. B. Tolerant. C. Resistant. D. Critical. 30. Why did Jort want to start a committee for foreign

36、 students?A. To make himself their leader, B. To help them adapt to life there.C. To teach them different languages. D. To involve them in international affairs. 31. Which of the following can be the best title for the text?A. GEWIS: the platformB. The internationalsC. GEWIS: welcome you D. The camp

37、us life abroad DSome people often wonder whether they are fighting a battle with their genes to maintain a healthy weight. In fact, researchers have provided plenty of evidence that people are born with tendencies to be lighter or heavier. For example, studies of identical twins have revealed great

38、similarity in their overall weight. Part of this similarity may be explained by the finding that some people are born to burn a lot of calories just through ordinary day-to-day activities while others are not. Those who are not are more at risk for weight gain. Researchers have discovered some of th

39、e actual genetic mechanisms（机制）that may make some individuals more likely to be obese（肥胖的）, For example, a gene has been found that appears to control signals to the brain that enough fat has beer stored in the body in the course of a meal so the individual should stop eating. The gene influences th

40、e production of leptin （瘦蛋白）, which keeps appetite under control. If leptin doesnt work well, it is likely that individuals will continue to eat. Thus the gene that controls leptin appears to have a critical influence on the potential for obesity. The confirmation that leptin plays a role in weight

41、control has encouraged researchers to identify and understand other weight-related genes. Recent attention has focused on a gene called GAD2. GAD2 helps control the amount of the neuro-transmitter（神经递质）GABA. In general, when more GABA is available, appetite is increased. For that reason, people who

42、have a form of GAD2 that allows more GABA to be available may be at risk for overeating. You can see that GAD2 is not directly an obesity gene. Rather it has an indirect influence on obesity through its direct influence on GABA. Genetic research holds out the promise of innovative solutions to obesi

43、ty. Researchers hope that an understanding of the link between genes and weight control will enable them to provide new drug treatments. Nonetheless, even the most optimistic researchers provide a warning :“Innovative drugs will be effective only when they are used along with lifestyle changes. ”32.

44、 What does the author want to explain by giving the example of twins?A. It is hard to maintain a healthy weight. B. Being fat or thin is genetically related. C. The twins are usually of similar weight. D. An individuals body can burn calories. 33. What can make an individual more likely to put on we

45、ight?A. Poor appetite. B. All varieties of GAD2. C. Effective leptin. D. Extra amount of GABA. 34. What do researchers suggest people do?A. Adopt advanced means. B. Learn more about genetic effects. C. Keep good living habits. D. Change the weight-related genes. 35. What is the text mainly about?A.

46、How does genetics contribute to obesity B. What impact does eating have on weightC. How many genes determine who is obese D. Why do many people become overweight 第二节（共5小题每小题2. 5分,满分12. 5分）阅读下面短文,从短文后的选项中选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。 If you dream of mastering two languages, make the process more fun an

47、d more successful with these tips:Find your motivation. Wish you had paid more attention in high school Spanish? 36_ Perhaps all you wanted out of the class was a good grade, or to meet a graduation requirement. These factors are “extrinsic（外在的）motivators,” but the most successful language students

48、are “intrinsically” motivated, So pick a language you are excited to use, whether on a vacation in Spain or on your couch watching Spanish soap operas. 37 _ It might take some trial and error, but youll figure out which resources work best for you. Mobile apps combine your learning with games, so if you could easily spend hours playing on your phone, youll likely find learning similarly addictive. 38_
