Scientists fear rising energy bills may lead to an increase in obesity （肥胖） after discovering a link between poorly-heated homes and higher body -fat．
Researchers from the University of Stirling’s Behavioural Science Centre set out to explore claims that warm indoor temperatures have contributed to rising obesity levels in winter．Instead, the team found that people who live in well-heated homes are more likely to have low body mass index （體重指數(shù)） levels while those who keep their heating turned down or off tend to be heavier．
Dr Michael Daly, behavioral scientist and senior lecturer, said: "We set out to investigate the scientific claims that cooler indoor temperatures help us maintain a healthy weight by pushing our bodies to use up more energy. In fact, the research suggests people may eat less and burn more energy when in a warmer indoor environment．
The 13-year study, published in the journal Obesity, involved more than 100,000 adults across England．
Researchers found reduced weight levels among people living in homes heated to above 23°C（73F）, which involved about 15,000 of the households studied．
Dr Daly said: "As national gas bills continue to rise faster than the rate of inflation, this research suggests the obesity could worsen where heating is turned down below comfortable levels or off for long periods to cut costs．"
This is not just about people who live in well-heated homes being in the financial position to afford more expensive low-calorie foods, exercise classes and sporting activities, and therefore finding it easier to maintain a low BMI level．The study took age, sex, social class and other factors into account．
"The comfortable temperature of 20°C -23°C is where we feel comfortable in our clothes and are neither hot nor cold．At temperatures above this, we use more energy and we eat less because our appetite is affected．"
1. The findings of the research can be described as ___．
A．horrible B．surprising C．funny D．encouraging
2.According to the passage, with rising gas bills, people may turn down or off their heating to______.
A．stay in shape B．maintain a low BMI level
C．save money D．a(chǎn)void eating more
3. Which of the following can be the best title for the passage?
A．Obesity links to poorly-heated homes
B．Well-heated home's contribute to obesity
C．Obesity--- A weighty problem in England
D．Rising energy bills help maintain a healthy weight

The ancient Egyptians appeared to be among the first early civilizations to learn how to grow roses. In 1888, at Hawara in the El Faiyum area of Egypt, two-thousand-year-old roses were found in ancient tombs. The discovery suggested roses were an important part of the complex burial ceremony which took place when an important person died. The roses found in the tombs are thought by modern experts to be the oldest preserved flowers ever found in the world. They must have been cut and dried before flowering so that they would remain undamaged. Over the centuries, the roses had shrunk and became tight balls, but on careful examination it was discovered that the petals (花瓣) themselves were hardly damaged.
Egypt’s skill in mass-cultivation（大面積栽培）of roses in early times led to the flowers becoming an important export product. At the height of the Roman Empire, Egypt exported large quantities of roses to the Roman courts. Wealthy Romans loved the beautiful colors and sweet smells of roses. So the Romans attempted to grow their own roses and they eventually mastered the art of mass cultivation. Egypt then decided to concentrate on growing grain instead of roses, so grain soon took over as the number-one agricultural product of Egypt.
Roses were appreciated in other early civilizations too, including Greece and Persia. They are a decorative feature on coins, sculpture, and vases dating back thousands of years. There is also evidence that roses were highly valued by the Chinese who believed that the flowers could be used to help treat a wide range of illnesses, from toothache to skin and chest diseases.
In the modern world, the rose has not lost its popularity as the “Queen of Flowers” — the name given to it by the Greek poetess Sappho. Even today more roses are sold than any other flower. Modern techniques have enabled people to create ever more beautiful roses. Transportation by air makes it possible to grow roses in countries with favorable climates and sell them within twenty-four hours in profitable markets all over the world. Tons of roses are transported this way every week. Roses from Ecuador, a country in northern South America, can be bought in Holland, even though that country itself has a huge rose-growing business.
36. The roses discovered at Hawara in 1888 were ______.
A. buried about four thousand years ago B. cut after they flowered
C. used to keep the dead body fresh D. finely preserved
37. Grain replaced roses to become the number-one agricultural product of Egypt because _____.
A. the Egyptians showed less interest in roses
B. the competition in rose export became fierce
C. the Romans could grow roses for themselves
D. grain was in great demand in the world market
38. Paragraph 3 is developed mainly _____.
A. by cause and effect B. by order in space
C. by order in time D. by examples
39. With the example of roses from Ecuador, the author shows ______.
A. modern techniques help the cultivation of roses
B. air transport helps the rose trade worldwide
C. roses grown in Ecuador are world-famous
D. roses are sold more than any other flower
40. What would be the best title for the passage?
A. Queen of flowers B. History of growing roses
C. Big archeological discovery D. Rose trade around the world
【參考答案】36-40 DCDBA
本文是說明文。文章介紹了花中女王——玫瑰。
36. D。細(xì)節(jié)理解題。由第一段的they would remain undamaged和the petals themselves were hardly damaged可知，這些出土的玫瑰保存完好。
37. C。細(xì)節(jié)理解題。由第二段的 So the Romans … mastered the art of mass cultivation可知，羅馬人最終掌握了大面積栽培玫瑰的技術(shù)，不需要大量進(jìn)口埃及人的玫瑰了，因此埃及人把種植谷物放到了首位。
38. D。寫作手法題。本段介紹了玫瑰在其他文明古國一樣受歡迎，列舉了玫瑰在希臘、波斯、中國的用途。
39. B。推理判斷題。聯(lián)系上一句Transportation by air ... all over the world可知，空運(yùn)促成了玫瑰銷售的全球化。這個(gè)例子正是用來說明這一點(diǎn)。
40. A。標(biāo)題歸納題。本文對玫瑰栽培的歷史和當(dāng)今玫瑰產(chǎn)業(yè)進(jìn)行了簡要介紹。第四段提到了the “Queen of Flowers”，因此用A項(xiàng)作標(biāo)題十分恰當(dāng)。

【2014高考英語廣東省梅州市質(zhì)檢試卷】D
Australian cities can keep their native wildlife — but only if they can kick their habit of urban sprawl (無計(jì)劃的擴(kuò)展). That’s the finding of a new study by leading Australian environmental researchers Jessica Sushinsky, Professor Hugh Possingham and Dr Richard Fuller of The University of Queensland.
“While urban development usually reduces the number of birds in a city, building more compact (緊湊的) cities and avoiding urban sprawl can slow these reductions greatly,” says lead author Jessica Sushinsky. “Compact housing development leaves birds’ homes untouched, leading to fewer losses of birds.”
The researchers surveyed native and wild birds in Brisbane’s urban areas, including living and industrial areas, public parks and gardens, major roadways and airports. They then used statistical modeling to find out what will happen to the birds as the city grows. The first setting was compact growth — where multiple homes are built on land that previously had only one house. The second setting was sprawling growth — a familiar pattern where homes are built here and there beyond the city’s current boundaries.
The team’s forecasts showed that a much greater diversity of species was lost over 20 years in the sprawling setting compared to the more compact setting. “Urban sprawl resulted in the disappearance of many urban-sensitive birds — birds that only live in areas where there is native vegetation (植被), such as parklands and woodlands,” Ms Sushinsky says.
“On the other hand, we found the city with the compact development attracted more birds because it kept more of its parks and green areas.”
Now the Queensland Government has adopted the more compact urban growth strategy, which, Dr Richard Fuller says, is good news for Australia’s native birds. These birds are environmental specialists — they need a particular environment to do well. “While compact development means smaller backyards, it can also make our entire cities more biodiverse,” according to Dr Fuller. “The study shows that we should hold on to our green spaces instead of clearing them for sprawling development.”
This is the first time science has modeled the effects of different urban growth strategies on birds, the researchers say. “Statistical models like these are important because they help us to understand the ecological consequences of a particular decision,” says Dr Fuller.
41. The study deals with the relationship between ______.
A. city development and birds B. the environment and birds
C. humans and wildlife D. climate and wildlife
42. Why is compact urban growth better than the sprawling strategy?
A. It makes the cities more beautiful. B. It gives people larger backyards.
C. It is money-saving. D. It is bird-friendly.
43. Dr Richard Fuller thinks the Queensland Government’s action ______.
A. is really brave B. is worth praising
C. has an uncertain future D. should be performed nationwide
44. What can we learn about the study from the passage?
A. It is based on the statistics in the past.
B. It is strongly against urban development.
C. It criticizes the city environment in Brisbane.
D. It suggests leaving more green spaces for birds.
45. Where does the passage probably come from?
A. A news report. B. A travel guide. C. A health magazine. D. A history book.
