B A recent study has found that being exposed(显露) to low temperatures creates more good fat which burns calories in the body. Being cold follows the effects of exercise, protecting against obesity(肥胖) and improving heal
25、th. The researchers have discovered that exposure to cold changes the make-up of gut bacteria(肠道细菌), which can lead to fat-burning, improve glucose metabolism(葡萄糖代谢), and reduce body weight. While ordinary white fat, known as bad fat, piles on when we eat more calories than we burn, brown fat seems
26、to burn extra calories to produce heat. Babies have lots of brown fat they need it to keep warm but there are small amounts in the necks of adults, too. Studies have shown that staying in a cold environment can speed up the formation of more brown fat in the body. Researchers predict the health bene
27、fits of being exposed to cold may be linked to gut bacteria. They exposed the first 4 group of mice to cold temperature of 6 for up to 10 days and discovered this caused a major shift in the make-up of the mices gut microbes(肠道微生物), preventing the mice from gaining weight. Then, the gut bacteria wer
28、e transplanted (移植)into the second group of mice that did not have the gut microbes. (肠 道微生物) It was found that they improved glucose metabolism and agreed with cold temperatures. The mice also lost weight as the changes in gut bacteria improved the formation of brown fat. However, after three weeks
29、 of cold exposure, the body weight began to remain stable. Professor Mirko Trajkovski of the University of Geneva claims that they provide powerful evidence that gut microbes play a key role in peoples ability to adapt to the environment. They are excited about testing whether targeting gut microbes
30、 could be a promising approach(方法，途经) for preventing obesity and related conditions. 4. Whats the new finding of a recent study? A. Good fat has nothing to do with calories. B. Exercise can make people become fat. C. Being cold helps people lose weight. D. Gut bacteria will stop glucose metabolism.

33、e of keeping warm D. may cause more people to take exercise C If you have a chance to go to Finland, you will probably be surprised to find how “foolish” the Finnish people are. Take the taxi drivers for example. Taxis in Finland are mostly high-class Benz（奔驰） with a fare（费用） of two US dollars a kil
34、ometer. You can go anywhere in one, tell the driver to drop you at any place, say that you have some business to attend to, and then walk off without paying your fare. The driver would not show the least sign of anxiety. The dining rooms in all big hotels not only serve their guests, but also serve
35、outside diners. Hotel guests have their meals free, so they naturally go to the free dining rooms to have their meals. The most they would do to show their good faith (信用) is to wave their registration card to the waiter. With such a loose (宽松的) check, you can easily use any old registration card to
36、 take a couple of friends to dine for free. The Finnish workers are paid by the hour. They are very much on their own as soon as they have agreed with the boss on the money. From then on, they just say how many hours they have worked and they will be paid accordingly (相 应地). With so many loopholes (
37、漏洞) in everyday life, surely Finland must be a heaven to those who love to take “small advantages”. But the strange thing is, all the taxi passengers would always come back to pay their fare after they have attended to their business; not a single outsider has ever been found in the free hotel dinin
38、g rooms. And workers always give an honest account of the exact hours they put in. As the Finns always act on good faith in everything they do, living in such a society has turned everyone into a real “gentleman”. In a society of such high moral（道德） practice, what need is there for people to be on g
39、uard against others? 8. While taking a taxi in Finland, a passenger _. A. can go anywhere without having to pay the driver B. can never be refused by the taxi driver wherever he wants to go C. only pays two US dollars for a taxi ride D. needs to provide good faith demonstration (证明) before leaving w
40、ithout paying 9. We can know from the passage that in Finland _. 5 A. big hotels provide meals for all kinds of diners B. big hotels are mostly poorly managed C. both hotel guests and outside diners are served food for free D. big hotels provide meals for only those who live in the hotels 10. Which
41、of the following is NOT true according to the passage? A. The workers can get more pay by working long hours. B. The workers are always honest with their working hours. C. The bosses are too busy to check the working hours of their workers. D. The workers and their bosses will make an agreement in a
42、dvance （提前，事先） about the pay. 11. The underlined word “those” in Paragraph 5 probably refers to _. A. people who are worth praising B. people who often have meals in big hotels C. people who often take taxis D. people who are dishonest D That morning, we noticed a cab following Sir Henry and Dr.Mort
43、imer in London. But who? We went to Sir Henrys hotel. Holmes asked Dr. Mortimer if anyone with a black beard lived in or near Baskerville Hall. “Yes,“ said Dr.Mortimer,“Barrymore. “ “We must send a telegram to check whether Barrymore is in London or at Baskerville Hall,“ said Holmes. Sir Henry said
44、he wanted to go to Baskerville Hall. “OK”, said Holmes. “But you mustnt go alone. Watson can go with you. “ Sir Henry and I agreed to take the 10:30 train on Saturday. Holmes thought deeply on the way home: the story of the Hound, Sir Charless death, the strange letter, the missing boot and the blac
45、k-bearded man. He sat in his room all afternoon, smoking and thinking. Just before dinner, a telegram arrived. It said,“Barrymore is at Baskerville Hall. “ “That becomes a dead end, Watson. We will have to look for another way to go forward. Just then the door bell rang. It was the cab driver who dr
46、ove the man with the black beard. “I got a message that you are asking for me“, he said. “Ive never had a complaint. I came here to ask you what you had against me! ” “No, no, ”said Holmes.“ Instead, Ill give you money if you tell me about the man in your cab this morning. He watched this house at 1
47、0:00 and then told you to follow the two gentlemen. “ The driver looked surprised and then answered,“The man said he was a detective and that I shouldnt tell anyone about him. “ “Its serious, my friend, and you may be in trouble if you refuse to answer.” “His name,” said the driver, “was Sherlock Ho
48、lmes. “ Id never seen Holmes more surprised. Then he laughed. “He scored against me that time, Watson. “ The driver told us everything he knew. Holmes gave him the money and sent him away. “This is a dangerous enemy, Watson.” Taken from The Hound of the Baskervilles 12. According to the passage, the underlined phrase “dead end” in Paragraph 10 means_. A. Holmes wanted to give up solving the case B. t
