In addition, the low-carbon diets may also improve levels of HDL cholesterol（胆固醇）, although it’s not clear how much difference this would make to your overall health.The search for a diet that helps people lose weight goes back decades. In recent years, there’s been much discussion about the strong points of low-fat diets, compared with low-carbon diets. And some claim that the low-carbon diets work well for short-term weight loss, but there isn’t enough evidence to show how well the two types of diets work and what the effects are on people’s health in the long term.In addition, it’s been recognized that weight-loss programs are better if they include some support to help people make changes to their eating and exercise habits. This is often called behavioral therapy, because it works through changing peopl e’s behavior. The new study has researched people who followed a weight-loss program over two years, all of whom had behavioral therapy. According to the actual situation of different people, half the people followed a low-carbon diet, and half followed a low-fat diet. And the result shows：people on both diets did equally well in losing weight. After two years, they had lost on average7 kilograms. This amount of weight loss is enough to have positive effects on the health of fat people. What’s more, t he group who had the low-carbon diets had much better levels of HDL cholesterol than people on the low-fat diets.If you need to lose weight, this study shows that the behavioral therapy is able to work effectively. You may find it easier to lose weight as part of a supervised weight-loss program that can help you break bad habits and make healthy changes to your diets and lifestyle.28.

Where is the passage taken from？A. a science-fiction book.B. a guidebook.C. a scientific newspaper.D. a fashion magazine.DNowadays some companies are attempting to grow seafood from cells in a laboratory ratherthan harvesting it from the oceans.With massive problems with overfishing worldwide and growing demand for shrinking supplies of seafood, the way fish currently makes its way to our plates i sn’t a long-term viable option. Between 1961 and 2016, the average annual increase in global food fish consumption outpaced population growth. Those are figures not sustainable for us, the fish or the environment as a whole.Cellular seafood could be the answer. Just don't make the mistake of calling it lab-grown fish. “None of us in the industry would call it lab-grown seafood,” says Mike Selden, CEO of Finless Foods. “Finless Foods isn’t lab-grown. We experiment and create our science in the lab, but d on’t produce there. Our products come from a production base much like a farm as a production base for animals.”Finless Foods is a tech company in San Francisco. Beginning in 2017, it’s been working to bring to market a species of cultured bluefin tuna （蓝鳍金枪鱼）created using cellular technology. Shortly after that, the company produced its first pound of bluefin tuna meat for a cost of about $19,000. Since then, however, it’s been working to bring that price down.Selden terms what Finless Foods is do ing as “cell-based seafood”. “We’re growing seafood from real seafood cells,” Selden explained. “We take cells from a fish once, and then grow them endlessly from that. We do the same process that happens inside of a fish and make it happen outside of a fi sh.”The goal of cellular seafood isn’t to entirely destroy the current seafood industry. Instead, it’s intended to augment it—and perhaps to help reduce some of the more harmful aspects of current fishing practices like overfishing and illegal fishing. And when it comes to certain sea species, this laboratory-based approach could help create a plentiful supply of certain fishwithout endangering the survival of certain overfished species as a whole.32. What is the main function of the second paragraph？A. Warning us of the shrinking seafood supplies.B. Stressing the significance of cellular seafood.C. Analyzing the reasons for global overfishing.D. Showing the environmental effect of seafood.33. What problem with cellular seafood is Finless Foods facing？A. The high cost of its production.B. Its inadequate nutrient content.C. Its potential harmful health effect.D. The complex production process.34. What does the underlined word “augment” in the last paragraph most probably mean？A. replaceB. strengthenC. cancelD. tolerate35. What is the best title for the text？A. Is Seafood Made Out of Cells？B. Will Seafood Become Cheaper？C. Have We Got Enough Seafood？D. Is Cellular Seafood Sustainable？第二节：七选五，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。
