  • 第8题:

    根据下面资料,回答题
    I′ve often wondered how exactly sleep, or lack of it, can have such an awful effect on our bodies and, guess what, how much we sleep switches good genes on and bad genes off.
    In the first half of 2013, the Sleep Research Centre at the University of Surrey found a direct link between hours spent sleeping and genes. Every cell in our bodies carries genetic instructions in our DNA that act as a kind of operating handbook. However, each cell only "reads" the part of this handbook it needs at any given moment.
    Can sleep affect how a gene reads instructions It′s a question asked by Professor Derk-Jan Dijk at the University of Surrey. He set up an experiment and asked his volunteers to spend a week sleeping around seven and a half hours to eight hours a night and the next sleeping six and a half to seven hours.
    Blood samples were taken each week to compare which genes in blood cells were being used during the long and short nights. The results were rather surprising. Several hundred genes changed in the amount they were being used, including some that are linked to heart disease, cancer, and Type 2 diabetes. Genes to do with cell repair and replacement were used much less.
    Sleep restriction (six and a half to seven hours a night) changed 380 genes. Of these,220 genes were down regulated (their power was reduced), while 160 were up regulated (their power was increased). Those affected included body-clock genes which are linked to diabetes. One of the most downgraded genes is that which has a role in controlling insulin and is linked to diabetes and insomnia. The most upgraded gene is linked to heart disease.
    So changing sleep by tiny amounts can upgrade or downgrade genes that can influence our health and the diseases we suffer from when we sleep too little.
    The important message is that getting close to eight hours of sleep a night can make a dramatic difference to our health in just a few days through the way it looks after our genes.

    What can we learn about Professor Derk-Jan Dijk′ s experiment 查看材料

    A.The experiment was carried out to find the answer to how genes affect sleep.
    B.The experiment took a period of more than two weeks to reach a conclusion.
    C.His volunteers were divided into two groups with two different sleeping patterns.
    D.Blood samples of the volunteers were checked afterwards to decide how many genes changed in sleeping.

    答案:B
    解析:
    推断题。定位于第三段和第四段。根据第三段的第一句话“Can sleep affect how a gene reads instructions ”可知Derk-Jan Dijk教授的实验是为了发现睡眠对人体基因变化的影响.而不是基因影响睡眠,故A项不正确。根据第三段的最后一句话“He set up an experiment and asked his volunteers to spend a week sleeping around seven and a half hours to eight hours a night and the next sleeping six and a half to seven hours.”可知,他并没有将志愿者进行分组,而是要求他们第一周每晚睡七个半到八个小时,第二周将睡眠时间调整为六个半到七个小时,故C项不正确。再结合第四段的前两句话,他将志愿者这两周的血液样本进行比对,观察基因运作情况的不同.实验结果令人大吃一惊。由此可推断出,这个实验进行了两周多才得出结论,故B项正确,D项不正确,采集血液样品是为了比较在不同睡眠时长下所用到的基因的不同,而不是多少基因被改变。

  • 第20题:

    Text 3 We tend to think of the decades immediately following World War II as a time of prosperity and growth,with soldiers returning home by the millions,going off to college on the G.I.Bill and lining up at the marriage bureaus.But when it came to their houses,it was a time of common sense and a belief that less could truly be more.During the Depression and the war,Americans had learned to live with less,and that restraint,in combination with the postwar confidence in the future,made small,efficient housing positively stylish.Economic condition was only a stimulus for the trend toward efficient living.The phrase“less is more”was actually first popularized by a German,the architect Ludwig Mies van der Rohe,who like other people associated with the Bauhaus,a school of design,emigrated to the United States before World War II and took up posts at American architecture schools.These designers came to exert enormous influence on the course of American architecture,but none more so than Mies.Mies's signature phrase means that less decoration,properly organized,has more impact than a lot.Elegance,he believed,did not derive from abundance.Like other modern architects,he employed metal,glass and laminated woodmaterials that we take for granted today but that in the 1940s symbolized the future.Mies's sophisticated presentation masked the fact that the spaces he designed were small and efficient,rather than big and often empty.The apartments in the elegant towers Mies built on Chicago's Lake Shore Drive,for example,were smaller—twobedroom units under 1,000 square feet—than those in their older neighbors along the city's Gold Coast.But they were popular because of their airy glass walls,the views they afforded and the elegance of the buildings'details and proportions,the architectural equivalent of the abstract art so popular at the time.The trend toward“less”was not entirely foreign.In the 1930s Frank Lloyd Wright started building more modest and efficient houses—usually around 1,200 square feet—than the spreading twostory ones he had designed in the 1890s and the early 20th century.The“Case Study Houses”commissioned from talented modern architects by California Arts&Architecture magazine between 1945 and 1962 were yet another homegrown influence on the“less is more”trend.Aesthetic effect came from the landscape,new materials and forthright detailing.In his Case Study House,Ralph Rapson may have mispredicted just how the mechanical revolution would impact everyday life—few American families acquired helicopters,though most eventually got clothes dryers—but his belief that selfsufficiency was both desirable and inevitable was widely shared.
    What can we learn about the design of the“Case Study House”?

    A.Mechanical devices were widely used.
    B.Natural scenes were taken into consideration.
    C.Details were sacrificed for the overall effect.
    D.Ecofriendly materials were employed.

    答案:B
    解析:
    推理题【命题思路】这是一道封闭式推理题,需要对文章末段的信息进行锁定,从而推理判断得出答案。【直击答案】根据题干信息“the design of”和“Case Study House”定位到末段第二句“Aesthetic effect…detailing.”。意思是“美学效果来自自然景色、新材料的使用以及明了的细节设计”,由此可推断出设计“Case Study House”时考虑到了自然景观,故B项正确。【干扰排除】第三句“In his…everyday life…”提到Ralph Rapson在当时错误预测了机械革命如何给人们日常生活带来影响,但无法得知是否大量应用机械设施,故A项错误。由末段第二句中的“forthright detailing”(明了的细节设计)可知C项“sacrificed(牺牲)for the overall effect”与原文信息相反,故不选。末段第二句中提到了“materials”,但是原文中是“new materials”而非D项中的“Ecofriendly materials”,故D项错误。长难句解析
