In hot peppers，such as Mexico peppers, the strong flavor es from a pound(化合物)，which does not exist in sweet peppers or onions. Studies have suggested that this pound 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 peppers had a lower risk of death from all causes over an average of 18 years than those who did not eat the spicy food. pared with participants who did not consume hot red chili peppers, those who did were found to be at a 13 percent reduced risk of allcause death.For example, a recent study reported by Medical News Today, found that the pound might have the potential to stop breast cancer, while an earlier study linked the pound 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 reduced risk of death from heart disease.While the researchers are unable to identify the specific pound by which red chili peppers might extend lifespan, the team says that it is likely due to the pound that is effectively against obesity(肥胖症)Overall, the team says that these latest findings 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 research makes these findings more credible【解题导语】一项新的研究发现，食用红辣椒之类的辛辣食物可能会降低死亡风险，延长人类的寿命。1What can be inferred from the passage?AThe study only goes for American people.BRed chili peppers can cure allcause diseases.CThe pound protects people against obesity.DOnion consuming can reduce death risk.C解析：推理判断题。根据倒数第二段内容可知，尽管研究人员还不清楚到底是哪种具体的化合物能够延长寿命，但是研究团队认为可能是一种对防治肥胖症有效的化合物。由此可以推断，这种物质能够控制肥胖。故选C项。2What is the finding of the new research mainly about?AHot red chili pepper lovers develop no cancers.BHot red chili peppers help control breast illness.CHot red chili peppers decrease heart disease.DHot red chili pepper intake may increase lifespan.D解析：推理判断题。文章在第一段就提出了研究发现食用辛辣食物如红辣椒能延长寿命，在下文中用具体的数据和例子来支持这一观点。由此可知，这个新发现主要是关于红辣椒的食用可能会延长寿命。故选D项。3Which of the following has the closest meaning to the underlined word “credible”？AConvincing. BPractical.CEncouraging. DAttractive.A解析：词义猜测题。文章第二段和第三段的数据和事例是在美国进行的研究，画线词所在句则提到，以前的研究只是在中国成年人中进行的，那么现在的研究结果使得这项新发现更加令人信服了。convincing意为“使人信服的”；practical意为“切实可行的”；encouraging意为“令人鼓舞的”；attractive意为“有吸引力的”。故选A项。 任务型阅读(2018宿豫中学高三测试)Naturally Regulate Your Sleepwake CycleMelatonin(褪黑激素) is a naturally occurring hormone(激素)that helps regulate your sleepwake cycle. Melatonin production is controlled by light exposure. Your brain should produce more in the evening, when its dark, to make you sleepy, and less during the day when its light and you want to stay awake. However, many aspects of modern life can disturb your bodys natural production of melatonin and your sleepwake cycle.Spending long days in an office away from natural light, for example, can impact your daytime wakefulness and make your brain sleepy. Then bright lights at nightespecially from hours spent in front of the TV or puter screencan hold back your bodys production of melatonin and make it harder to sleep. However, there are ways for you to naturally regulate your sleepwake cycle, improve your bodys production of melatonin, and keep your brain on a healthy schedule.Increase light exposure during the dayRemove your sunglasses in the morning and let light onto your face.Spend more time outside during daylight. Try to take your work breaks outside in sunlight, exercise outside, or walk your dog during the day instead of at night.Let as much light into your home/workspace as possible. Keep curtains and blinds open during the day, move your desk closer to the window.If necessary, use a light treatment box. A light treatment box can create sunshine and can be especially useful during short winter days when theres limited daylight.Improve melatonin production at nightTurn off your television and puter. Many people use the television to fall asleep or relax at the end of the day. Not only does the light hold back melatonin production, but television can actually excite the mind, rather than relaxing it. Try listening to music or audio books, or practicing relaxation exercises. If your favorite TV show is on late at night, record it for viewing earlier in the day.Dont read from a backlit device at night (such as an iPad). If you use a portable electronic device to read, use an eReader that is not backlit, i. e. one that requires an additional light source such as a bedside lamp.Change your light bulbs. Avoid bright lights before bed, use lowwattage bulbs instead.When its time to sleep, make sure the room is dark. The darker it is, the better youll sleep. Cover electrical displays, use heavy curtains or shades to block light from windows, or try an eye mask to cover your eyes.Use a flashlight to go to the bathroom at night. As long as its safe to do so, keep the light to a minimum so it will be easier to go back to sleep.TitleNaturally Regulate Your Sleepwake CyclePassage outlineSupporting detailsDeciding factorMelatonin, a hormone that 1._ naturally, helps regulate your sleepwake cycle. 2._ melatonin in the evening makes you sleepy, while less melatonin during the day makes you 3._.Disturbing4_Long days in an office away from 5._ light.Long hours in front of the TV or puter screen.6._to increasing light exposure7._ off your sunglasses in the morning.Spend more time outside during daylight.Keep curtains open and sit close to the window.Use a light treatment box especially in 8. _.Methods ofimprovingmelatoninproductionListen to music 9._of watching TV.Avoid 10._from a backlit device.Use lowwattage bulbs.Use heavy curtains to make the room dark.Use a flashlight to go to the bathroom.答案：1.occurs 2.More 3.awake 4.aspects5.natural 6.Approaches/Solutions 7.Take 8.winter 9instead 10.readingB卷 完形填空Every morning, on my way to work, I see homeless people sleeping on sidewalks.

But if you decide to be strong, the hardship will turn out to be fortune on which new hopes will arise.In an accident，a boy lost both his arms and his father who was the main source of support for the family. Since then, he has had to depend on the arms of his younger brother. For the sake of taking care of him, his younger brother became his shadow, never leaving him alone for years. Except for writing with his toes, he was pletely unable to do anything in his life.As the two brothers grew up together, they had their share of problems and they would often quarrel. Then one day, his younger brother wanted to leave, living his own life, as many normal people do. So he was heartbroken and didnt know what to do.A similar misfortune befell a girl, too. One night, her mother who suffered from chronic mental illness disappeared. Her father went out to look for her mother, leaving her alone at home. She tried to prepare meals for her parents, only to overturn the kerosene light on the stove, resulting in a fire which took her hands away.Though her elder sister who was studying in another city showed her willingness to take care of her, she was determined to be pletely independent. At school, she always studied hard. Most of all she learned to be selfreliant.One day, the boy and the girl were both invited to appear on a television interview program. The boy told the TV host about his uncertain future at being left on his own, whereas the girl was full of enthusiasm for her life. They both were asked to write something on a piece of paper with their toes. The boy wrote: My younger brothers arms are my arms; while the girl wrote: Broken wings, flying heart.【解题导语】本文是一篇夹叙夹议文。文章通过介绍两个不同的故事启迪我们积极勇敢地面对困难。1What attitude should we take towards a misfortune in the authors opinion?ATrying to find an escape from it.BFacing it bravely with a positive mind.CAsking for help from your relatives.DIgnoring it and living a normal life.B解析：推理判断题。根据第一段的第二句“But if you decide to be strong, the hardship will turn out to be fortune on which new hopes will arise.”可推知，面对困难我们应当积极勇敢地面对，故B项正确。2After the accident, the boy_Adecided to live with his brotherBlearnt to do things with his toesCmade a living all by himselfDdepended wholly on his brotherD解析：细节理解题。根据第二段的第二句“Since then, he has had to depend on the arms of his younger brother.”可知，失去双臂后，他就完全依靠他的弟弟，故D项正确。3Which of the following is TRUE of the girl?AShe lost her mother in an accident.BHer sister took good care of her.CShe was optimistic and full of courage.DShe led a poor life with her father.C解析：细节理解题。根据最后一段第二句中的“the girl was full of enthusiasm for her life”，并结合第五段可知，她决定独立生活，在学校努力学习；据此可知，女孩在事故后乐观而坚强，故C项正确。4What did the girl mean by “Broken wings, flying heart.”？ANever give up hopes in face of hardship.BIts not easy for her to live a normal life.CIf a bird loses its wings, it can not fly.DIf you lose your hands, your life will be hard.A解析：句意理解题。“Broken wings, flying heart.”为女孩用脚趾写的话，意为“失去双翼，心仍飞翔。”；结合最后一段第二句中的“the girl was full of enthusiasm for her life”和第五段可知，事故之后，她决定独立生活，在学校努力学习，乐观坚强地面对生活；据此可知，该句是说“面对困难，永远不要放弃希望”，故A项正确。BAs a child，visiting the zoo was more a punishment than a treat.I didnt find the chimps tea parties funny，nor the bird shows entertaining.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 actsmen teasing lions，girls balancing on elephants and monkeys playing football.I knew that every trick a circus animal did was unnatural，achieved through strict training and quite possibly cruelty.Happily，during my lifetime public attitudes and the law have changed.Circuses using wild animals are now almost extinct，and zoos have definitely evolved.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 animals 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 mon and understandable plaint.But what do the animals themselves prefer?Generally speaking，zoo animals have a longer life.Butyou may protestthey are not free.What? Free to be hunted and killed，free to die of hunger or thirst? Maybe sitting in a cage eating bananas isnt so bad.Not that such conditions are acceptable in modern zoos，due to the work of BIAZA，the British and Irish Association of Zoos and Aquariums.These days every zoo requires BIAZAs approval to operate，and the association sets the standards，observes conditions in zoos and develops animalresearch programmes，both in the UK. and abroad.BIAZA also organises the animal exchanges between zoos all over the world.Consequently，today，most zoo animals are born and raised in zoos，live in large，fortable enclosures and are cared for by welltrained，knowledgeable and
