广西北海市2017高考英语阅读理解一轮基础选编（三）（2016高考训练）阅读下列材料，从每题所给的选项中选出最佳选项。体裁：科普文话题：健康生活词数：350时间：6Sleeping in a room with too much light has been linked to an increased risk of gaining weight，a study shows.A team at the Institute of Cancer Research in London found women had larger waistlines if their bedroom was “light enough to see across” at night.However，they say there is not enough evidence to advise people to buy thicker curtains or turn off lights.The women were asked to rate the amount of light in their bedrooms at night as：Light enough to read.Light enough to see across the room，but not read.Light enough to see your hand in front of you，but not across the room.Too dark to see your hand or you wear a mask.Their answers were compared to several measures (程度) of obesity.These measures were all higher in women with lighter rooms.Prof Anthony Swerdlow of the Institute of Cancer Research told the BBC：“In this very large group of people there is an association between reported light exposure at night and overweight and obesity.But there is not enough evidence to know if making your room darker would make any difference to your weight.There might be other explanations for the association，but the findings are interesting enough to guarantee further scientific investigation.”The light is disrupting (干扰) the body clock，which comes from our evolutionary (进化的) past when we were active when it was light in the day and resting when it was dark at night.Light changes moods，physical strength and even the way we process food in a 24hour cycle.Prof DerkJan Dijk，from the Surrey Sleep Centre，said there would be no harm in trying to make bedrooms darker.He told the BBC：“People in general are not aware of the light present in their bedroom，I think people should assess their bedroom and see how easy it would be to make it darker.” “Overall this study points to the importance of darkness，” he concluded.【语篇解读】明亮的卧室与肥胖有关系。1What does the passage mainly talk about?APeople should buy thicker curtains.BLight bedrooms are linked to obesity.CPeople should turn off lights.DDark bedrooms are linked to obesity.答案B主旨大意题。根据全文内容尤其是第一段“Sleeping in a room with too much light has been linked to an increased risk of gaining weight，a study shows.”可知，本文主要讲述的是在光线太强的房间睡觉会有增加肥胖的风险。2What will make the researchers go on their scientific investigation?ALight exposure.BThe interesting findings.CMore people with obesity.DDarker bedrooms effect.答案B细节理解题。根据第三段内容可知，对于很多人来说，夜间曝光与超重以及肥胖有关，但没有足够的证据表明，如果将房间灯光调暗，体重会有变化。但是这个发现很有趣，足以促使进一步的科学研究。3The author writes the fourth paragraph in order to show _Amanmade light can disrupt the body clockBmanmade light is a product of evolutionCthe body clock wont be disrupted by anythingDthe body clock can change our mood and physical strength答案A细节理解题。根据第四段内容可知，作者写本段是为了说明人造光会干扰生物钟。4Whats Prof DerkJan Dijks attitude towards the dark room?ANegative. BDoubtful.CFavorable. DUnclear.答案C推理判断题。根据最后一段内容可知，德克简迪克教授称，将卧室的光线调暗没有坏处，并且这个研究总体指明黑暗的重要性。由此推断，德克简迪克教授对黑暗的卧室持赞成态度。由 (2012四川,D)改编In a recent announcement,Harvard and the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT) said that
