第十一篇When Our Eyes Serve Our StomachOur senses aren’t just delivering 汪strict view of what’s going on in the world；they’re affected by what’s going on in our heads. A new study finds that hungry people see food-relatedwords more clearly than people who’ve just eaten.Psychologists have known for decades that what’s going on,inside our head affects our senses. For example, poorer children think coins are larger than they are, and hungry people think pictures of food are brighter. Remi Radel of University of Nice Sophia-Antipolis，France，wanted to investigate how this happens. Does it happen right away as the brain receives signals from the eyes or a little later as the brain’s high-level thinking processes get involved.Radel recruited 42 students with a normal body mass index. On the day of his or her test, each student was told to arrive at the lab at noon after three or four hours of not eating. Then theywere told there was a delay. Some were told to come back in 10 minutes; others were given an hour to get lunch first. So half the students were hungry when they did the experiment and the other half had just eaten.For the experiment, the participant looked at a computer screen. One by one, 80 words flashed on the screen for about l/300th of a second each. They flashed at so small a size that the students could only consciously perceive. A quarter of the words were food-related. After each word，each person was asked how bright the word was and asked to choose which of two words they’d seen —a food-related word like cake or a neutral word like boat. Each word appeared too briefly for the participant to really read it.Hungry people saw the food-related words as brighter and were better at identifying food- related words. Because the word appeared too quickly for them to be reliably seen, this means that the difference is in perception ,not in thinking processes, Radel says.“This is something great to me. Humans can really perceive what they need or what they strive for. From the experiment, I know that our brain can really be at the disposal of our motives and needs,” Radel says.词汇：threshold n.起点，开端；门槛disposal n.处理,处置;配置neutral adj.中性的；中立的motive n.动机，目的strive v.努力，力求;斗争注释：1. Our senses aren’t just delivering a strict view of ... in our heads:这个句子的大概意思是:我们的五官感觉不仅仅让我们感知世界;五官感觉还受大脑活动的影响。

Lakes, Too, Feel Global WarmingThere's no doubt: In the last few decades, the average temperature on Earth has been higher than it's been in hundreds of years. Around the world, people are starting to measure the effects of global warming - and trying to figure out what to do about it.Scientists recently used satellites to study the temperatures of lakes around the world, and they found that lakes are heating up.Between 1985 and 2009, satellites recordedthe nighttime temperatures of the surfaces of 167 lakes. During those 24 years, the lakes got warmer - by an average of about 0.045 degree Celsius per year.In some places, lakes have been warming by as much as 0.10 degree Celsius per year. At that rate, a lake may warm by a full degree Celsius, or 1.8 degrees Fahrenheit, in just 10 years. That difference may seem small - you might not even notice it in your bathtub. But in a lake, slightly warmer temperatures could mean more algae, and algae can make the lake poisonous to fish.The study shows that in some regions, lakes are warming faster than the air around them. This is important because scientists often use measurements of air temperature to study how the Earth is warming. By using lake temperatures as well, scientists can get a better picture of global warming.The scientists say data on lakes give scientists a new way to measure the impact of climate change around the world.That's going to be useful, since no country is too big or too small to ignore climate change. Scientists aren't the only ones concerned. Everyone who lives on Earth is going to be affected by therapidwarming of the planet.Many world leaders believe we might be able to do something about it, especially by reducing the amount of greenhouse gases we put into the air.That's why the United Nations started the Framework Convention on Climate Change, or UNFCCC. Every year the convention meets, and representatives from countries around the world gather to talk about climate change and discuss global solutions to the challenges of a warming world.16 Scientist have been keeping records of lake temperatures for over 30 years.A RightB WrongC Not mentioned17 The temperatures of lakes around the world have increased greatly between 1985 and 2009.A RightB WrongC Not mentioned18 Lakes seem to be warming faster in Asia.A RightB WrongC Not mentioned19 A slight temperature increase in a lake could be harmful to fish.欧阳科创编 2021.02.05A RightB WrongC Not mentioned20 Scientists generally focus on air temperatures when studying global warming.A RightB WrongC Not mentioned21 Globle warming is less threatening to small countries.A RightB WrongC Not mentioned22 UNFCCC's annual meeting will be held in Mexico this year.A RightB WrongC Not mentioned第3部分：概括大意与完成句子（第23～30题，每题1分，共8分）下面的短文后有2项测试任务：（1）第23～26题要求从所给的6个选项中为第2～5段每段选择1个最佳标题；（2）第27～30题要求从所给的6个选项中为每个句子确定一个最佳选项。

The Polynesian V oyaging Society had organized the expedition. Its purpose was to find out if seafarers (海员in the distant past could have found their way from one island to the other without navigational instruments, or whether the islands had been populated by accident. At the time, Mau was the only man alive who knew how to navigate just by observing the stars, the wind and the sea.He had never before sailed to Tahiti, which was a long way to the south. However, he understood how the wind and the sea behave around islands, so he was confident he could find his way. The voyage took him and his crew a month to complete and he did itHis grandfather began the task of teaching him how to navigate when he was still a baby. He showed him pools of water on the beach to teach him how the behaviour of the waves and wind changed in different places. Later, Mau used a circle of stones to memorize the positions of the stars. Each stone was laid out in the sand to represent a star.The voyage proved that Hawaii's first inhabitants came in small boats and navigated by reading the sea and the stars. Mau himself became a keen teacher, passing on his traditional secrets to people of other cultures so that his knowledge would not be lost.

Teaching Math, Teaching AnxietyI n a new study about the way kids learn math in elementary sc hool, the ps ychologists at the U nivers ity of Chicagol1 Sian Beil ock and Sus an Levine found a s urprising relations hip between what female teachers think and what female s tudents learn:I f a female teac her is unc omfortable with her own math s kills, then her female s tudents are more likely to believe that boys are better than girls at math.练习：1. What is the result of the research at the University of Chicago,according to the f irst paragraph?D Female teac hers' c onfidence in their math skills is related to girl's math skills.2. What is implied in the third paragraph?B A diffic ult s ubject like math may affect teac hers' c onfidence in teac hing the s ubj ec t.3. According to the experiment,those teachers were probably anxious about math w hen they f eltC uneasy reading the numbers of a sales rec eipt.4. The sixth paragraph tells us that the research f indingsA prove a s trong link between female teac hers' math anxiety and their female s tudents' math ac hievements.5. David Geary thinks thatB the research res ults need to be retested bas ed on a larger s ample.Free Statins With Fast Food Could Neutralize Heart RiskFast food outlets could provide statin drugs free o f charge so that customers can reduce the heart disease dangers of fatty food, researchers at Imperial College London suggest in a newstudy．Statins reduce the amount o f unhealthy ”LDL” cholesterol in the blood. A wealth of trial data has proven them to be highly effective at lowering a perso n’s heart attack risk .In a paper published in the American Journal of Cardiology，Dr Darrel Francis and colleagues calculate that the reduction in heart attack risk offered by a statin is enough to o ffset the increase in heart attack risk fro m eating a cheeseburger and drinking a milkshake．Dr Francis，fro m the National Heart and Lung Institute at Imperial College Lon don，who is the senior author of the study, said:”Statins don’t cut out a11 of the unhealthy effects of cheeseburgers and French fries．It’s better to avoid fatty food altogether．But we’ve worked out that in terms of your possibility of having a heart attack. T aking a statin can reduce your risk to more or less the same degree as a fast food meal increases it.” “It’s ironic that people are free to take as many unhealthv condiments in fast food outlets as they like, but statins, which are beneficial to heart health, have to be prescribed. It makes sense to make risk-reducing statins available just as easily as the unhealthy condiments that are provided free o f charge．It would cost less than 5 pence per customer一not much different to a sachet of sugar.” Dr Francis said．When people engage in risky behaviours like driving or smoking, they’re encouraged to take measures that lower their risk, 1ike wearing a seatbelt or choosing cigarettes with filters. T aking a statin is a rational way of lowering so me o f the risks of eating a fatty meal．快餐销售点为了减少油脂食物对心脏疾病的危险，可以免费提供降胆固醇类药物.伦敦大学帝国理工学院的研究者在一个新的研究中建议到。

降胆固醇类药物减少了血液中低密度脂蛋白胆固醇。

很多的试验数据已证明它们对降低一个人的心脏病风险有非常好的效果。

美国心脏病学期刊中出版了一篇论文，Darrel Franc is博士和同事们计算出一颗降胆固醇类药物降低心脏病突发的风险足以抵抗吃一个芝士汉堡和喝一杯奶昔。

来自伦敦帝国学院国家心肺研究所的Franc is博士，即这个研究的资深作者说道：“降胆固醇类药物不能抵消芝士汉堡和法式炸薯条所带来所有的不健康影响。

总而言之，最好是避免油脂类食物。

但是我们已经算出你得心脏病发作的可能性。

服用一片降胆固醇类药物可以或多或少在同样程度上减少你因一顿快餐而引起的风险。

”“讽刺的是人们免费在快餐销售点吃到许多他们喜欢的不健康调味品，而对心脏健康有益的降胆固醇类药物却是要开处方的。

所以他们提供免费的降胆固醇类药物是和提供不健康调味品一样可行的。

每个顾客的花费低于五便士——无异于一小袋糖的价格。

”Francis博士说道。

当人们进行像喝酒或抽烟之类有风险性的举动时，他们知道衡量如何降低风险，正如平时系上安全带或选择过滤烟一样。

服用一个降胆固醇类药物就是吃一顿油脂食物降低一些风险的合理方法。
