13、bits that helped preserve lives the most are drinking alcohol and coffee. “I have no explanation for it,” admitted Dr Claudia Kawas, “but I do firmly believe that moderate drinking improves longevity.” So should we all be drinking more coffee and wine? While that would be great news, the research ma

23、. It has been so since the 1960s when packaged food list appeared with the label: “Store in the refrigerator.” In my fridgeless Fifties childhood, I was fed well and healthy. The milkman came everyday, the grocer, the butcher, the baker, and the icecream man delivered two or three times each week. T
24、he Sunday meat would last until Wednesday and the bread and milk left became all kinds of cakes. Nothing was wasted, and we were never troubled by rotten food. Thirty years on, food deliveries have stopped, and fresh vegetables are almost impossible to get in the country. The invention of the fridge
25、 contributed comparatively little to the art of food preservation. Many welltried techniques already existednatural cooling, drying, smoking, salting, sugaring, bottling. What refrigeration did promote was marketingmarketing hardware and electricity, marketing soft drinks, marketing dead bodies of a
26、nimals around the world in search of a good price. Consequently, most of the worlds fridges are to be found, not in the tropics where they might prove useful, but in the rich countries with mild temperatures where they are climatically almost unnecessary. Every winter, millions of fridges hum (make
27、a low continuous sound) away continuously, and at vast expense, busily maintaining an artificially cooled space inside an artificiallyheated housewhile outside, nature provides the desired temperature free of charge. The fridges effect upon the environment has been clear, while its contribution to h

32、hree times each week. The Sunday meat would last until Wednesday and the bread and milk left became all kinds of cakes. Nothing was wasted, and we were never troubled by rotten food(送牛奶的人每天都来,杂货店老板、屠夫、面包师和 卖冰淇淋的人每周送两三次。星期天的肉会持续到星期三,剩下的面包和牛奶会变成各种各 样的蛋糕。没有任何浪费,我们也从来没有被腐烂的食物所困扰)”可知,“在我 50 年代 没有冰箱的童年,我吃
33、得很好,很健康”这句话表明,在 20 世纪 50 年代,作者家里没有冰 箱。故选 C 项。 9B推理判断题。根据第二段最后一句 “Thirty years on, food deliveries have stopped, and fresh vegetables are almost impossible to get in the country(三十年过去了,食品运输已经停 止,新鲜蔬菜几乎不可能进入这个国家)”暗示了冰箱的出现使得新鲜蔬菜减少,这对消费 者是最不利的。故选 B 项。 10A细节理解题。根据第五段中 “Every winter, millions of fridges h

35、供所需的温度)”可知,在第五段中“嗡嗡作响不停”暗示了冰箱对环境的负面影响。故 选 A 项。 11 B推理判断题。 根据最后一段“The fridges effect upon the environment has been clear, while its contribution to human happiness has been unimportant(冰箱对环境的影响是显而易见 的,而它对人类幸福的贡献却并不重要)”可推知,作者对冰箱的总体态度是批判的。故选 B 项。 D Do you like to flaunt your expensive items? You could
36、find yourself without friends! Scientists prove that expensive status symbols make you look less socially attractive. Items such as a fancy car and a Rolex watch are often thought to increase our social standing and often come with a high price tag(标签). According to the latest research, however, it
37、has the opposite effect and people would prefer to be friends with someone who places less value on material objects. “Often we think that status symbols will make us look more socially attractive to others, ”says Stephen Garcia, the studys lead author from the University of Michigan. He adds, “Howe
38、ver, our research suggests that these status signals actually make us look less socially attractive.” The researchers conducted six studies which assessed how people presented themselves and how people viewed strangers. People who chose to wear higher status items tended to get a negative response,
39、but people wanted to be friends with people who preferred lower status symbols. The study took the role of the luxury item to see if it was possible that the expensive item itself played a part in peoples reactions. The definition of a status symbol changed based on a persons socioeconomic status, b
40、ut the same effect of keeping off potential friends was seen regardless of social position. “At a social level, we may be wasting billions of dollars on expensive status symbols that finally keep others from wanting to associate with us,” says Kimberlee Weaver Livnat at the University of Haifa.She s
41、ays, “And to the extent that close friendships are important to well being, we may be unintentionally hurting ourselves.” However, Patricia Chen of the National University of Singapore said this does not necessarily mean status symbols are a bad thing. She says, “Our findings right now only apply to
42、 the formation of new friendships. Status symbols may be beneficial at other times and in other settings, such as when trying to establish new business contacts.” ()12.What does the underlined word “flaunt” in Paragraph 1 mean? Ashow offBget rid of Cgive awayDhand in ()13.Which is the negative influ
43、ence of expensive status symbols? ALowering peoples social status. BPreventing people from making friends. CDoing harm to peoples health absolutely. DChanging peoples consumption concept. ()14.Who may be more popular among friends according to the text? APeople who are very rich. BPeople with high s
44、ocial status. CPeople who keep a low profile. DPeople with charming appearance. ()15.What attitude does Patricia Chen have towards status symbols? APositive.BUnconcerned. CCritical.DCasual. 【语篇解读】本文是一篇说明文,介绍了一项研究。这项研究表明,昂贵的身份标志性 的物品不一定会有利于提高人的魅力,反而会妨碍人结识新的朋友。 12A词义猜测题。根据下文 “Scientists prove that exp
45、ensive status symbols make you look less socially attractive(科学家证明,昂贵的身份象征会让你在社交上显得不那么有吸引 力)”可知,昂贵的身份标志性的物品不利于交友,而喜欢炫耀的人可能会没有朋友。故可 知画线部分单词意思为“炫耀”。 13B细节理解题。第二段告诉我们,像豪车和劳力士手表这样的物品通常被认为可 以提高我们的社会地位,而且往往价格不菲。然而,根据最新的研究,它有相反的效果,人 们更愿意和那些不太重视物质的人交朋友。由此可知,昂贵的地位象征的负面影响会阻止人 们交朋友。 14C推理判断题。根据第四段最后一句 “People
46、who chose to wear higher status items tended to get a negative response, but people wanted to be friends with people who preferred lower status symbols(那些选择穿显示地位高的衣服的人往往会得到负面的回应,但人们希望与那些 更喜欢低地位象征的人交朋友)”可知,低调而不喜欢炫富的人会更加受欢迎。 15A推理判断题。根据最后一段“Our findings right now only apply to the formation of new fri
47、endships. Status symbols may be beneficial at other times and in other settings, such as when trying to establish new business contacts(我们的发现目前只适用于新朋友的形成,地位象 征在其他时候和其他场合可能是有益的,比如在试图建立新的业务联系时)”可知,Patricia Chen 认为昂贵的身份标志性的物品不一定就是有害的,它有可能会帮助人在生意上取得成 功。可知 Patricia Chen 对待身份象征的态度是积极的。 第二节(共 5 小题,每小题 2.5
