Ⅱ.阅读理解

(2016·山东菏泽模拟) Can eating a chocolate bar every day really prevent age-related memory loss? No. But a new research shows that large amounts of flavones, substances found in cocoa, tea and some kinds of vegetables, may improve age-related memory failure.

Dr. Scott Small is a professor of neurology at Columbia University in New York City. He is the lead writer of a research paper describing the effects of cocoa flavones on brain activity. His study involved 37 volunteers aged between 50 and 69. Researchers gave them a high-level flavones drink made from cocoa beans or a low-level flavones drink. For a period of three months, some subjects got 900 milligrams of flavones a day. The others got 10 milligrams of flavones each day. Brain imaging and memory tests were given to each study subject before and after the study. Dr. Small says that the subjects who had the high-level flavones drink showed much improvement on memory tests.

The researchers warn that more work is needed to be done because this study was performed only on a small group. Dr. Joann Manson is the lead researcher of a four-year study involving 18，000 adults. This study will use flavones capsules (胶囊). The study subjects will be pided into two groups and will take two pills per day. The capsules used will all look the same. But one group’s capsules will contain flavones, while the other group will take capsules made of an inactive substance, or placebo.

Dr. Manson says it’s not necessary for people to start eating more chocolate, because a person would have to eat a huge amount of chocolate to get the same level of flavones given to the test subjects. He adds many manufacturers have planned to remove the flavones from their chocolate products. Similarly, Dr. Manson says a cocoa-based flavones extract (提取) may be developed in the future. But he says that more studies are needed to see how much flavones is good for our health.

[导学号30090583]【文章大意】这是一篇科普文章，文章主要描述了每天吃一块巧克力是否真的可以预防与年龄有关的记忆衰退，答案是否定的，文章介绍了两位研究者分组

实验的研究成果，巧克力中主要含有黄烷醇类物质，它对人体是有益的，但是多少量对人体健康有益还需要再研究。

1．What was done to the subjects after Dr. Small’s study?

A．They were asked to take a high-level flavones drink.

B．They were given capsules containing flavones.

C．They were given brain imaging and memory tests.

D.They were asked to take two pills of flavones capsules per day.

解析：选C。细节理解题。根据第二段倒数第二句Brain imaging and memory tests were given to each study subject before and after the study.可知研究后和研究前对测试者需要做大脑图像和记忆力测试，故选C。

2．What’s the similarity of the two experiments?

A．Both use high-level flavones capsules.

B．The number of the subjects is the same.

C．Drinks and placebos are used in both experiments.

D.The subjects are pided into two groups in both experiments.

解析：选D。细节理解题。根据第二段中Researchers gave them a high-level flavones drink made from cocoa beans or a low-level flavones drink.可知研究者将测试者分成了两组，又根据第三段中The study subjects will be pided into two groups and will take two pills per day.可知两组实验都是将被测试者分成了两组，这是实验的相似之处，故选D。

3．Why will Dr. Manson carry out the four-year study?

A．To prove the first experiment is wrong.

B．To carry out the experiment further.

C．To test how much flavones can improve our memory.

D.To show eating chocolate is better to improve memory.

解析：选B。推理判断题。根据第三段第一句The researchers warn that more work is needed to be done because this study was performed only on a small group.内容可知，Dr. Manson为了做进一步研究才开始了4年的研究工作，故选B。

4．What can we learn from the last paragraph?

A．It’s not necessary for us to eat chocolate.

B．The more we eat flavones, the better our health will be.

C．In the future we can get flavones without eating chocolate.

D.It’s easy for people to get the same level of flavones given to the test subjects.

解析：选C。段意理解题。最后一段第一句Dr. Manson says it’s not necessary for people to start eating more chocolate...是本段的中心句，又根据段中意思可知可可的黄烷醇提取物将来可能会被开发出来，人们可以直接服用，故选C。
