Starting the day on an egg could keep your blood pressure(血压) under control,research suggests.Scientists have shown that eggs produce proteins with a function similar to that of powerful blood pressure-lowering drugs.
The research,from the University of Alberta in Canada,showed that when eggs come in contact with stomach enzymes(酶) they produce a protein that acts in the same way as ACE_inhibitors,but more work is needed to show the effects outside a lab and in the human body.
Earlier this month,British researchers declared that,contrary to popular beliefs,it is healthy to go to work on an egg.They concluded that the type of cholesterol(胆固醇) found in eggs has little effect on increasing heart disease risks.
Researcher Professor Bruce Griffin,from the University of Surrey,said, “The wrong beliefs linking egg-eating to high blood cholesterol and heart disease must be corrected.The amount of fat in
our diet has an effect on blood cholesterol that is several times greater than the relatively small amounts of cholesterol found in eggs.The UK public do not need to be limiting the number of eggs they eat.They can be encouraged to include them in a healthy diet as they are one of nature's most nutritious foods.”
The British Heart Foundation dropped its threeeggaweek limit in 2005.However,almost half of Britons believe the limit still applies.
16.From the text we know that “ACE inhibitors” are ________.
A.a kind of medicine B.a kind of protein C.a kind of illness D.a kind of food
17.According to what Professor Bruce said,eggs ________. A.are the most nutritious food
B.have no effect on blood cholesterol C.can be included in a healthy diet D.are forbidden to be eaten in the UK
18.We can infer from the text that ________.
A.drugs to lower blood pressure will be replaced by eating eggs B.stomach enzymes mixed with eggs can cure heart diseases C.most Britons agree the three-egg-a-week limit should be dropped
D.about 50% of Britons think eating an egg a day is bad for their health 19.The text is meant ________.
A.to introduce scientific findings about eggs B.to introduce a medicine made from eggs
C.to tell people how to lower their blood pressure D.to advise people to eat as many eggs as possible Ⅲ.阅读表达
阅读下面短文并回答问题。
[1]Many people complain about their work day by day, however, we have some suggestions for you. Just keep all these in mind, and you are sure to feel happier than before.
[2]☆People Need You. There's always someone who relies on you, no matter what type of work you do. The public rely on the toilet cleaners to keep the toilets fresh. The public rely on the trash-men to remove their unwanted garbage. So recognize that there are always those who need you to do a good job. Please don't let them down.
[3]☆Plan Out Your Day. Often, we'll find a day disappears as quickly as it arrives because we get bogged down with minor chores and emergencies that keep appearing. These minor fires mean we don't get to tackle the much bigger fires, which would give us a lot more satisfaction.
[4]What's the best way to deal with this? Plan out your day. At the end of your shift, decide what “major fires” need putting out tomorrow. Plan out when you'll tackle these major issues, and then stick to that plan no matter what little embers may pop up.
[5]☆Do something different. Consistency is a good thing to have at work. But what isn't good to have is the same routine, day after day. It drags you down, it makes you tired early in the day, and it kills any motivation you have for the job.
[6]Do something different! Step out of your routine and take a fresh look at things. Inject some variety into your days, even if it's something as simple as taking a different route to work.
[7]☆________. It amazes me sometimes how little some people actually know about their work colleagues. Your colleagues are not robots. They're other human beings too, breathing and talking and trying to make a living, just like you. So treat them as human beings. Get to know them a bit better each day by asking a different question, or by starting a new topic. Share experiences with them, and they'll realize that you're human too, and that it's OK to talk with each other about something other than work.
20.What is this passage mainly about? (no more than 8 words)
________________________________________________________________________ 21.Why do we often find a day disappears quickly? (no more than 15 words)

课时作业(三十四)
Ⅰ.1.C 考查动词辨析。语境表达“动物有调节自身体温的能力”,故选择C项,意为“调整,使适应”。
2.C 考查形容词辨析。句意:选择职业并不关乎你的国籍,却关乎你的语言能力。relevant 意为“有关主题的,切题的,有关系的”;relative意为“相关的,相对的”;responsible意为“负责任的”;practical意为“实践的,实际的”。
3.A 考查定语从句。which引导定语从句,“每年世界各地数以百万计的人们参加TV-turn-off week这一活动”,participate in参加,参与。
4.A 考查介词with加复合宾语结构。这里China与participate是逻辑主动关系,故用现在分词作宾语补足语。

6.B 考查动词短语辨析。come across意为“偶尔碰到/遇到”。
7.B 考查动词短语辨析。句意:Ronny的脚步声逐渐消失了,只剩下万籁俱寂的安静。die away逐渐模糊,逐渐减弱以至于觉察不到(如描绘声音、风、光线等逐渐消失);die down指逐渐平息(尤其指火焰、风暴、疼痛、谣言等);die off一一死去,先后死去;die out灭绝(指家族或物种)。根据句意选择B。
8.A 考查名词辨析。句意:这个消息给了我们一种虚假的安全感,使我们看不到危险即将来临。security意为“安全,保证”;authority意为“权力,当局,权威”;responsibility意为“职责,责任心”;variety意为“种类,多样化”。根据句意可知A项正确。

15.D 考查固定搭配。not…but…是固定词组,意为“不是……而是……”。句意:人们常常说旅行之乐不在于你到达目的地而在于旅程本身。

17.C 细节理解题。根据倒数第二段最后一句的内容可知,Bruce教授认为鸡蛋属于健康食物。
18.D 推理判断题。最后一段的最后一句提到几乎一半的英国人相信对鸡蛋的限制仍然适用,由此可推断这些人依旧认为每天吃一个鸡蛋对健康有害。
