Try living on top of a mountain Mountain air contains less oxygen than air at lower altitudes, so breathing it causes the heart to beat faster and the body to burn more energy A handful of studies have found that athletes training at high altitudes tend to lose weight Doctor Florian Lippl of the University Hospital Of Ludwig-Maximilians- university Munich wondered how the mountain air would affect overweight individuals if they werent doing any more physical activity than usualLippl and his colleagues invited 20 0verweight men to an environmental research station about 300 meters below the summit of Zugspitze, a mountain around 2,970 meters near the Austrian border They were allowed to eat as much as they liked The men also gave blood so that researchers could test for hormones linked to appetite and fatness At the end of the week, the men, whose mean weight starting out was 105kg, had lost on average about l5kg The mens blood pressure also dropped, which the researchers believed was due to weight lostExactly what caused the weight loss is uncertain Loss of appetite is common at higher altitudes, and indeed the men ate significantly less than usualabout 700 calories fewer per day Lippl also notes that because their consumption was being recorded, they may have been more self-conscious about what they ate Regardless, eating less accounts for just l kg of the l5 kg lost, says Lippl He thinks the increased metabolic （新陈代谢的） rate, which was measured, also contributed to weight loss but cannot separate the different effects with the given dataAppetite loss at high altitudes could certainly be key, notes Damian Bailey, a physiologist at the University of Glamorgan, UK, who recently lost 11 kg during a 3-month expedition to the Andes in Chile Unfortunately, for the average person there is no treatment that can resemble living at high altitude, says Lippl The only alternative is hypobaric chamber, which exposes subjects to low oxygen and isn t practical as a treatment He says, half- jokingly, If fat people plan their holidays, they might not go to the sea, but maybe to the mountain 41 What contributes the most to one s heart rates according to the first paragraph? A our bodyweight B the consumption of energy C the rates of our breathing D the amount of oxygen provided42Hormones are tested in the research because they can affect A one s bodyweight B one s blood pressure C one s way of living D one s metabolic rate43What was found about the 20 overweight men in the process of the research? A They controlled what to eat self-consciously B They took in much fewer calories than usual, C They lost appetite because of lack of physical activity D They were provided with a healthier diet than before44 Why does Damian Bailey agree with the idea of appetite loss at high altitudes? A He experimented with the new weight loss plan in the Andes B He found no other reasons for his loss of weight in the Andes C He researched the related subject in the Andes D he lost much weight in the high altitude Andes45 In what manner does Lippl talk about the way of losing weight by spending holidays on mountains? A casual B inaccurate C uncertain D confident BActually, DOA, CIA, FBI, IRS, AOL, TNT, HBO, AAA, WCX, NBA, NFL and the like are more than just abbreviations Many Stock Exchange symbols have three letters as well Each one is a TLA-a three-letter acronym（首字母缩略词）Just wait and see As time will pass, in writing, words will no longer be commonly used Only their letters will be welcome and appreciatedWell, I hope notAs many people know and some don t, acronyms play a more important role in the present world than they ever did before They are now used to not only shorten long names or titles, but to convey entire sentences That last thing is most commonly encountered in text messagingUse of acronyms in such forms of dialogue sure has its advantages It is fast and easy, saving a fair bit of time For those who don t have much time to spare, that would definitely be nice Same goes for those who don t feel motivated enough to create full sentences at the moment Another thing some people might take as an advantage is the way first letters of the words can disguise the meaning that the sentence contains However, not everybody knows the meaning behind acronyms, and even if one is familiar with that type of thing, it s more difficult to figure out a bunch of Words by looking at their first letters if you are not an official participant of the conversation It s fairly obvious what would be the downside of thatAlthough a fast and effective, if sometimes confusing, way of communication through text messaging, I don t see how acronyms would improve anyone s verbal and vocabulary skills The thing that it promotes is constantly using language templates, or, in plain English, always saying the same thing There is already a problem with a decreasing variety in vocabulary and speech among the general public Fewer and fewer of the different words and synonyms are used, while the people choosing to insert some long words into their speech are often frowned upon for no good reason If making acronyms a part of your life won t worsen your terms with your daily speech, it certainly won t bring any improvementsYet, with the circumstances now being as they are, it doesn t seem realistic to beat the spreading of the acronyms Given the advantages, that s not even necessary The thing that should be preventing is the increase of such form of communication which might become a major difficulty that would challenge the style and class of both the written and spoken word Whatever happens would have to be the choice of many other people, besides myself46 Which of the following is NOT an advantage of using acronyms? A People who are busy can save a lot of time B People can cover the meaning of the sentences C People can easily work out the meaning of groups of acronyms D People who don t feel like creating full sentences can still communicate47 Which of the following is TRUE according to the sixth paragraph? A Using acronyms will surely worsen people s speech skills B The use of acronyms equals the use of plain and repeated language C The public used to face the problem of limited vocabulary and speech D People who prefer to use long words in their speech are still welcomed48 What does the writer really think of the acronyms?A Fast and easyB Nice but challengingC Effective but confusing D Challenging and confusing49 We can infer from the last paragraph that _ A it is possible to prevent the spreading of the acronyms B the use of acronyms might ruin the purity of the language C the use of acronyms as a form of communication should be stopped D the writer may take other people s idea when making his own decision50 How does the author seem to feel about the future of the acronyms? A SurprisedB Hopeful C Uncertain, D Concerned CBEIJING一一一 China s first high-speed rail line in the country s freezing high-latitude regions is ready for service, the Ministry of Railways announced SaturdayThe railway linking northeastern Chinese city of Harbin and port city of Dalian will start service on December l, marking the world s first long high-speed line running through regions with extremely low temperatures during winterWith speeds of up t0 350 km per hour, the 921-kilometer railway will go through the country s three northeastern provinces一 Heilongjiang, Jilin, Liaoning, as part of the planned Beijing-Harbin high-speed railwaysIt is one of the four north-south lines China aims to finish by 2015Unlike current high-speed lines in operation, temperatures along the new route are likely to plunge t0 40 degrees Celsius below zeroWith snow and frozen land, the inclement climate conditions created numerous blocks during the construction processZhou Li, a MOR official in charge of technology, said the ministry have conducted 22 research projects to target technology obstacles, including steady monitoring of the track condition and overhead contact system He said from September to November, the line has undergone 3,030 trial tests in various weather conditions, ranging from normal, low temperature, to heavy snow and even blizzardsTest statistics show safety can be guaranteed even if the trains are running at 300 km per hour in winter, he saidTo minimize the impact of extreme weather on the operation, the ministry has created emergency plans, such as speed reductions and temporary halts, to ensure safetyBeing the first of its kind, the ministry is being cautious by adopting two different schedules The speed during the winter season （December l to March 31） will be 200 km per hour, with the summer period （April l to November 30） being 300 km per hourThe ministry said ticket prices will vary depending on the schedule With 23 stops along the route, including that at the renowned industrial base Shenyang city, the line will cut travelling times between the two cities to about four hours from nine hoursChina aims to create a high-speed railway backbone network featuring four east-west lines and four north-south lines by the end of 2015, according to a five-year plan on China s transport system approved by the State Council, China s cabinetChina currently has more than 6, 800 km of high-speed railway lines that run at a speed above 200 km per hour The total length is expected to reach about 18,000 km by 201551 The passage is intended to A tell us how difficult it was to build the new rail line Bwarn us that the temperature along the new fast一speed rail line is very cold C introduce to us China will build advanced high-speed railway backbone in the future D inform us of the good news that a new fast-speed rail line is to be used in China52 Which of the following statements is NOT true according to the article?
