题型:不详难度:来源:
Today, the biggest killers stem as much from our lifestyles as from bacteria and viruses.  One of the worst of these is heart disease, and specifically high blood pressure. It’s a slow, but efficient killer that robs many people of what should be the last 10, 20 or 30 years of their lives.
Scientists are claiming that they have now separated unusual ingredients in a rare seaweed discovered by fishermen off the coast of Korea that offer incredible health benefits—including the ability to restore blood pressure to normal levels.
Dr. Haengwoo Lee, a famous biochemist conducted a clinical study on these two ingredients. The first is Seanol, an extremely rare seaweed extract(浓缩物) from Ecklonia Cava that"s proven to be 100 times more powerful than any land-based antioxidant(抗氧化剂). That"s because it stays working in your body for 12 hours, compared to land-based antioxidants that work for 30 minutes.  "Its secret is its make-up of special chemicals that are a huge 40% fat soluble( 可溶的)," Dr. Lee explains. "Unlike nearly all land-based antioxidants that are water soluble, Seanol"s protective compounds can get into things like the fatty tissues of your brain and penetrate(渗透) all three layers of your cells, including the outside, the oil-based cell membranes(细胞膜), and your DNA." Indeed, Seanol is so powerful, it"s the only FDA-approved Ecklonia Cava marine-algae (海藻)  extract in existence.
The second ingredient is Calamarine, a deep-sea omega-3 discovery that delivers 85% more DHA omega-3s to your heart, brain, joints, and eyes. It"s known to reduce the problems from tiredness and poor memory, joint pain, mood swings and depression.
With that research in mind, Dr. Lee combined Seanol and Calamarine with a high dose of vitamin D to form  Marine-D3, the newest supplement in the fight against age-related illnesses and high blood pressure.
Dr. Lee found that Calamarine delivers some of the greatest concentration of omega-3s known to science. Combined with Seanol"s ability to reduce body inflammation(炎症), as well as help cells get the nutrients they need to thrive, stay healthy and protected, Marine-D3 is able to boost a body"s entire well being.
The makers of Marine-D3 are so confident that you"ll see fast dramatic results from this product, that if you aren"t happy after two full months, simply return the unused portion and they"ll buy it back. They"ll even give you ten dollars extra just for giving it an honest try! That kind of faith, combined with Dr. Lee"s exhaustive research, shows that Marine-D3 really is a one-of-a-kind product.

解析

试题分析:本文介绍了科学家从一种罕见的海藻中提取到了两种对高血压和减少疲劳和记忆力问题的成分。这两种成分制成的药品对对抗老年性疾病和高血压有很好的疗效。
小题1:推理题:根据文章第一段“It’s a slow, but efficient killer that robs many people of what should be the last 10, 20 or 30 years of their lives”它是缓慢却很有效的***手,夺去了许多人本可以在持续10年、20年或30年的生命。此处的“它”指的是高血压,由此可知高血压会缩短我们的寿命。故选C。
小题2:推理题:阅读第二段可知科学家已经发现一种可以使血压恢复到正常水平的有效成分。故选B。
小题3:细节题:根据第三段最后一句“Indeed, Seanol is so powerful, it"s the only FDA-approved Ecklonia Cava marine-algae (海藻)  extract in existence.”事实上,Seanol有如此强大的功效,它是唯一一个由FDA批准从Ecklonia静脉海藻中提纯的物质,由此可知是符合标准的,故A项正确;根据第三段中“a huge 40% fat soluble”40%脂溶性,可知B项错误;根据第三段中“an extremely rare seaweed extract(浓缩物) from Ecklonia Cava”一种很罕见的Ecklonia静脉海藻萃取液,可知C项错误;根据第三段中“Seanol"s protective compounds can get into things like the fatty tissues of your brain”Seanol保护化合物可以进入大脑的脂肪组织,而并不是“all things”所有物质,故D错误。故选A。
小题4:推理题:阅读第四段可知第二种成分Calamarine可减少疲劳和记忆力的问题,缓解关节疼痛、情绪波动和抑郁症。由此可知它可以缓解疼痛,使人轻松。故选D。
小题5:推理题:pessimistic悲观的;indifferent中立的;doubtful怀疑的;Optimistic乐观的。阅读最后两段内容可知这两种物质制成的药品效果很好,还有促销手段,市场前景良好,可见作者对此持有乐观情绪。故选D。
核心考点
试题【Today, the biggest killers stem as much from our lifestyles as from bacteria and】;主要考察你对题材分类等知识点的理解。[详细]
举一反三
It’s the dirty little secret many shampoo companies don’t want you to know.  When you wash your hair with certain traditional chemical shampoos, you may actually be removing your hair and scalp(头皮)of their natural oils.  These shampoos generate a thick bubble to clean hair, they can also create dryness, curl, dullness, and color fade. We then spend a lot of time and money on products that are effectively repairing the damage caused by shampoo.
Chaz Dean got tired of clients leaving his salon raving about their color and the feeling of their hair---brassy(似黄铜的) and dull. He knew the main cause was likely their shampoo, so he started experimenting with various ingredients, including natural herbs and botanicals, that he knew had cleansing(弄干净)and hydrating (保湿的) properties.
The result was a totally new approach to the way we cleanse our hair.  It’s called WEN® Cleansing Conditioner.  WEN® contains a super-hydrating natural herbs and botanicals mixture of glycerin, chamomile(甘菊), rosemary, calendula, and Cherry bark, which when combined, will both cleanse the hair as well as give shine and softness, even to damaged hair.
WEN® is a 5-in-1 formula(配方) that takes the place of your shampoo, And the most amazing thing about it is that it cleanses without bubble.  Instead, when mixed with water, it creates a smooth bubble for shiny, healthy-looking, manageable results.  The first time you try it certainly feels strange, but the results speak for themselves.
Before being marketed, WEN® went through extensive consumer tests, and the results were impressive.  More than 90 percent of the participants in the studies reported that their hair was more shiny, less frizzy, and had more bounce.
WEN® is recommended for all hair types, and once you start using it, it will become the only cleanser/conditioner you will want to include in your daily routine.
Right now, WEN® is offering an easy way for online shoppers to try the product.  Now you just pay less than $30 and have a 60 day money back guarantee if you are not completely satisfied. Click here to learn more about WEN® and try this revolutionary new approach yourself.

In a cab, a woman seemed in such a hurry. She constantly rushed the cab driver to drive quickly. She was so absorbed in her own thoughts of getting to the airport as soon as possible that she was not aware they were going by a different route.
All of a sudden, a young man got inside the cab. He took her handbag in which she had put her visa, passport, and all the money for the trip.
The cab driver, who was in collusion with the robber, left her in the exactly middle of a dark street. She thought that she was rather unfortunate in the very situation.
During the very night, she was told a piece of shocking news. Tears came down her cheek. Flight 360, the plane that she should have got on board, had crashed. Had she not lost her important belongings, she could surely have lost the thing far more precious——her life.
Sometimes bad things really happen. There are times when nothing seems to go our way. So what should we do about it? We must get rid of all these frustrations and start all over again in the faith that we will get what we deserve. 
Don’t waste your time and energy on things that can’t be changed. Continuous worrying will only affect your health and you’ll be doing much more damage than what was previously done.
What if it was the other way round? What if we never ran out of good luck?
There was a man who won the lottery. He became greedy and wasted all his money on everything he could get his hands on.
But when he one day made it to the front page of the newspaper again, it was a different story. He had been killed because of his riches. If you attain good luck, you can never be too secure about it. Life is so unpredictable. You never know what will happen next.
Live one day at a time. We sometimes subject ourselves to unnecessary emotional trouble. But please don’t forget: sometimes misfortune can be the source of happiness. Live for the moment. Do what must be done for the present and the future will turn out just fine. Believe me. And believe in yourself. As Captain Planet always says, “The power is yours!”

We are always told that TV is not good for us. If it is true, how come the TV-addicted kids of our young generation nowadays are much smarter than we are? In my family, the only persons who can work the TV remote control well are the children.
Probably TV really educates us. For example, we can learn a very useful medical fact: A man that has been shot always has time to speak a broken sentence when he is dying. “The killer was…” (dies)
But I suppose the biggest things that we learn from TV can be regarded as “Life Skills”. Bad things simply happen on either stormy or dark nights. Emotional breakdowns make people wander in the heavy rain without raincoats or umbrellas. And contrary to the scientists, the crack of lightning and the accompanying flash come on at exactly the same time, wherever the scenes are.
I’ve even got to know useful geographical facts from science-fiction shows: Aliens only speak the language of English no matter which planet they come from.
To make good use of something that we learn from TV can make our security better. Consider these truths. When you are really attacked by 20 bad guys, you needn’t worry about your being outnumbered. The criminals will hang back and take turns to approach you in ones and twos just so you can conveniently defeat them all. Bad guys who are completely covered in black clothes always remove their black masks to reveal that they are in fact, aha, women.
TV often teaches us a lot of important information as well about escaping from danger. Watch and learn. (1) If anyone is running after you down a passage, you will find that boxes have been conveniently placed near all the walls you need to jump over. (2) If you are tall and handsome, you can run from any number of armed criminals, and every shot will miss you.
Be warned, however, if your name card says “henchman” (帮凶) and you are part of a group of plain-looking people trying to catch a handsome individual, a single shot will kill you. But don’t be anxious: TV also delivers useful information for bad guys. All cars are inflammable (易燃的) and have amazing shock absorbers that enable them to fly into the air and land without damage — except police cars.
TV even teaches us about TV. Whenever anyone turns on a TV, it shows a news flash about someone they know. They then turn the box off immediately after that news item.
小题1: When the writer says “A man that has been shot always has time to speak a broken sentence when he is dying” (Paragraph 2), he shows his________.
A.humorB.sympathyC.deep concernD.medical knowledge
小题2: We can learn from Paragraph 3 that in the real world________.
A.bad things cause people to break down in the rain
B.bad things never happen on dark and stormy nights
C.people with emotional problems like to walk in the rain without umbrellas
D.you can’t hear the crack of lightning and see the accompanying flash exactly at the same time
小题3: On TV what usually happens when a person turns it on?
A.The program shown is always about the importance of TV.
B.The person always turns off the TV when it’s time for news.
C.The news shown is always about someone the person knows.
D.TV always shows news about famous people.
小题4: What’s the main idea of this passage?
A.Life skills can be learned from TV.
B.What happens in TV is quite different from reality.
C.Watching TV makes people more creative.
D.TV plays an important role in society.
小题5: The writer of this passage takes a(n) ________ attitude towards TV plays.
A.positiveB.casualC.negativeD.indifferent
