AIt has always been thought that alcohol causes people to put on weight because it contains a lot of sugar, but new research suggests a glass a day could form part of a diet. Looking at past studies they found that, while heavy drinkers do put on weight; those who drink in moderation can actually lose weight.A spokesman for the research team at Navarro University in Spain says, “Light to moderate alcohol intake, especially of wine, may be more likely to protect against, rather than promote, weight gain.”The International Scientific Forum on Alcohol research reviewed the findings and agreed with most of the conclusions, particularly that data do not clearly indicate if moderate drinking increases weight.Boston University’s Dr. Harvey Finkel found that the biologic mechanisms(生物学机制) relating alcohol to changes in body weight are not properly understood. His team pointed out the strong protective effects of moderate drinking on the risk of getting conditions like diabetes(糖尿病), which relate to increasing obesity. Some studies suggest that even very obese people may be at lower risk of diabetes if they are moderate drinkers.The group says alcohol provides calories that are quickly absorbed into the body and are not stored in fat, and that this process could explain the differences in its effects from those of other foods. They agree that future research should be directed towards assessing the roles of different types of alcoholic drinks, taking into consideration drinking patterns and including the past tendency of participants to gain weight.For now there is little evidence that consuming small to moderate amounts of alcohol on a regular basis increases one’s risk of becoming obese. What’s more, a study three years ago suggested that resveratrol, a compound present in grapes and red wine destroys fat cells.21．The passage is mainly for those_________A. who produce wineB. who have a drinking habitC. who go on a dietD. who are eager to lose weight 22．How does the writer clarify his view at the very beginning ?A. By quotationB. By comparisonC. By question.D. By statement.23．What can we learn from the passage_________．A. Current data clearly show that moderate drinking increases weight.B. Resveratrol is proved to increase the risk of becoming fat.C. The research found moderate drinking has a strong protective effect.D .The specific roles of different types of alcoholic drinks are very clear. 24．What is most likely to be discussed in the paragraph that follows?A. How to do some easy experiments.B. How to reduce the calories contained in wine.C. How to prove the finding mentioned above.D. How to make wine in a healthy way.BGood news for giant panda lovers: The cute and cuddly creature has just been brought back from the brink of extinction.The International Union for Conservation of Nature (IUCN) downgraded the species from “endangered” to “vulnerable” as the union released its updated Red List on Sept 4 at Hawaii.The downgrade came after IUCN data suggested that there were 1,864 giant pandas in the wild in China in 2014 – their population has grown by 17 percent in the decade leading up to 2014.Chinese conservation efforts, including forest protection and reforestation, are considered to be the driving force behind the animal’s resurgence.“It’s all about restoring the habitats,”Craig Hilton-Taylor, head of the IUCN Red List, told the BBC.The number of panda reserves in China has also jumped to 67, from 13 in 1992. Nearly two-thirds of all wild pandas live in these reserves, according to the World Wildlife Fund.“Just by restoring the panda’s habitat, that’s given them back their space and made food available to them,” Hilton-Taylor said.A loss of habitats, on the contrary, was what caused the number of pandas to drop to just over 1,200 in the 1980s, Hilton-Taylor added.Apart from giant pandas, the Tibetan Antelope has also moved from “endangered” to “near threatened”. According to a statement from IUCN, the animal’s numbers dwindled severely –dropping from around 1 million to an estimated 65,000-72,500 in the 1980s and early 1990s –due to commercial poaching. Rigorous（严格的） protection has since been enforced to protect the beasts and the population is now likely to be between 100,000 and 150,000.Despite the improved statuses, wild animals like the giant panda and the Tibetan Antelope still face great challenges. The IUCN warned, for example, that ongoing threats from climate change could eliminate more than 35 percent of the panda’s bamboo habitat in the next 80 years, which would reverse the species recent gains.25．What does the underlined word in pagagraph 1 mean?A. dangerous and threatenedB. safe and soundC. weak and easily hurtD. normal and common26．Which of the following can account for pandas’ living improvement?A. Better climate .B. More built reserves.C. Well restored habitats.D. Aroused public awareness . 27．The passage is written in order to ________.A. convinceB. informC. argue D advocate28．What does the last paragraph imply ?A. The climate will influence the threatened species.B. We humans still have a long way to go to protect the endangered species.C. Pandas will go extinct for lack of abundant food.D. Habitats for giant pandas will decrease sharply.CChinese International SchoolApplication FormBefore an applicant can be invited to take part in an assessment, an application form should be returned to the Admissions Office, and the application fee of HK$1,000 cannot be returned.

Researchers from Aachen University in Germany believe that about 10 percent of people can be classified as “morning people”, who feel more active and function best in the morning．Around 20 percent are night owls—people who naturally tend to stay up late and are more tired during the day．And the rest of us fall somewhere in between, according to New Scientist.Previous studies have suggested that early risers are more likely to be happy and healthy while night owls experience worse sleep as well as more depression and anxiety during the day.For a long time, scientists have been trying to find out what causes the differences between the two．A new study suggests that it isn’t just people’s habits—early risers and night owls actually have different brain structures.Led by Jessica Rosenberg at Aachen University, researchers scanned the brains of 16 early risers, 23 night owls and 20 people with intermediate sleeping hours．They found that the brains of night owls had less “white matter”—which speeds up the transmission(传输) of nerve signals –in brain areas associated with depression．As you know, after people fly in an airplane from one time zone to another, they often suffer from a confused and tired feeling called “jet lag” because their body clocks are out of sync(不同步的) with the new time zone．It usually takes about a week for their bodies to adjust to the new time．But night owls always have difficulty syncing their bodies to the right time due to their brain structure．“It’s like they suffer from permanent jet lag,” said Rosenberg. The good news is that it is possible for night owls to turn themselves into morning people．According to the researchers, night owls should try to spend as much time in the sunlight as possible and reduce their exposure to artificial light at night to force their body clocks to shift to a more normal rhythm.33．What does the article mainly discuss?A．How to turn early risers into night owls.B．How our habits influence our sleep patterns.C．What causes the differences between early risers and night owls.D．Why early risers are happier and healthier than night owls.34．We can learn from the article that night owls _______________.A．make up almost a third of the human populationB．have more white matter in their brains than other peopleC．are more used to artificial night than sunlightD．have body clocks that are not in agreement with the actual time 35．Jessica Rosenberg’s research suggests that ____________.A．previous studies about night owls are wrongB．night owls are affected by jet lag more strongly than othersC．white matter helps our brains work more efficientlyD．brain structure might determine people’s chances of suffering from depression第三部分：七选五（共1题；每小题2分，满分10分）根据短文内容，从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项，选项中有两项为多余选项。
