Napping to a Healthier Heart?
1 Researchers say they have developed a simple test that can tell if a person with heart disease is likely to suffer a heart attack.The test measures levels of a protein in the blood.The researchers say people with high levels of this protein are at high risk of heart attack,heart failure or stroke.
2 Kirsten Bibbins-Domingo of the University of California in San Francisco led the team.For about four years,they studied almost one thousand patients with heart disease.The researchers tested the heart disease patients for a protein called NT-proBNP.Patients with the highest levels were nearly eight times more likely than those with the lowest levels to have a heart attack,heart failure or stroke.
3 The researchers say the presence of high levels of the protein in the blood shows that the heart muscle is under pressure in some way.The study involved mostly men,so the researchers could not say for sure that the results are also true for women.They say the patients with the highest levels of NT-proBNP were older and had other problems like diabetes or high blood pressure.
4 Other researchers say more studies are needed to confirm if knowing the protein levels of a heart disease patient should affect that person's treatment.They also would like to know if more aggressive treatment could reduce the patient's chance of a heart attack or stroke.The study appeared in the Journal of the American Medical Association.
5 Could a little sleep during the middle of the day reduce the risk of a heart attack?An unrelated study earlier this month in the Archives of Internal Medicine suggests that the answer may be yes.In countries like the United States,afternoon naps are mostly for children.But they are common for adults in Mediterranean countries.And these countries generally have lower rates of heart disease.So scientists in the United States and Greece wondered if naps could play a part.Twenty-three thousand healthy adults took part in the study by Harvard University and the University of Athens.Those who took thirty-minute naps three times a week had a thirty-seven percent lower risk of death from heart problems than people who did not take naps.
6 The researchers say napping may improve heart health by reducing stress.They say the research suggests that naps are especially good for working men.But they say not enough female subjects died during the study to judge the benefits for women.

According to some researchers,by measuring the levels of NT-proBNP in the blood people may know______.
A:where fewer people die from heart problem
B:whether they have the risk of heart attack,heart failure or stroke
C:would probably have lower rates of heart disease
D:how to test a person's NT-proBNP level in the blood by himself
E:his heart muscle would be under pressure in some way
F:that napping is of great benefit to women too

答案：B

解析：

第二段主要介绍了加利福尼亚大学一个团队所进行的研究。通过检查心脏病人的NT-proBNP水平，发现水平最高的病人与水平最低的病人之间患心脏病的可能性相差近8倍。
第三段说到，研究涉及的多是男性，并发现年老且患有糖尿病或高血压者NT-proBNP的水平最高。
由第四段的内容可知，其他研究者认为还要确认一些问题，如心脏病病人的蛋白质水平是否影响其治疗；他们还想知道更多的积极治疗能否减少病人得心脏病或中风的机会。
第五段说到，地中海国家的成年人普遍都午睡，而且患心脏病的几率较低。哈佛大学和雅典大学的研究证明，每周午睡三次，每次30分钟的人比完全不午睡的人死于心脏病的几率低37%。
由第一段最后两句可知，研究人员检测血液中蛋白质的水平，他们称血液中这种蛋白质水平高的人得心脏病或中风的几率高，故选B。
由第三段第一句可知，血液中含有高浓度的该种蛋白质证明心肌受到了压迫。
由文章第五段的内容可知，定期午睡的人患心脏病的几率更低。
由第三段第二句和文章的最后一句可知，研究对象多为男性，并且由于在调查期间女性研究对象死亡的并不多，所以无法判断午睡对女性的影响。

第3题：

What does the underlined word "they" in Paragraph 6 refer to?

A. The participants in the study.

B. The researchers of the study.

C. The errors made during the study.

D. The data collected from the study.

正确答案：A

第4题：

资料：Placing the right type of workers in close proximity to each other can generate up to a 15 percent increase in organizational performance，according to the study from Cornerstone On Demand，a provider of cloud-based learning and talent-management software，and researchers at Harvard Business School in Massachusetts. For businesses with 2，000 employees, this translates into an additional $1 million in profit each year，the study said.
For the study，researchers examined data from a two-year period of more than 2，000 employees working at a large technology company with locations in the U.S. and Europe. The study’s authors separated workers into three different categories based on the work they produced：
Productive： These employees are very productive，but don’t always produce quality work.
Quality：These workers produce work of superior quality，but aren’t always productive.
Generalists： These employees are average in terms of both productivity and quality.
The researchers defined productivity by how long it takes an employee to finish a task，and effectiveness by how often employees need to ask a co-worker for help completing a task.

What might be discussed later？

A.The reason for better performances
B.The impact of seating employees close to each other
C.The findings of seating different categories of people
D.All above

答案：C

解析：

本题考查的是推理判断。
【关键词】discussed；later
【主题句】最后1自然段The researchers defined productivity by how long it takes an employee to finish a task，and effectiveness by how often employees need to ask a co-worker for help completing a task.研究人员通过员工完成一项任务需要多长时间来定义工作效率，通过员工为完成任务每隔多长时间向同事寻求帮助来定义工作有效性。
【解析】本题的问题是“接下来可能会讨论什么”。 A选项“更好表现的原因”；B选项“员工就近落座的影响”；C选项“不同类别的员工座位的发现”；D选项“以上都是”。通读全文，文章开头处由一项研究引入，说明合适的坐位安排会使组织绩效提高，继而介绍研究背景，将员工划分为三种类型。接下来，应该是会具体讲述哪些员工坐在一起绩效更好的关于不同类别员工座位的发现，因此C选项更符合题意。A选项过于笼统，且应当跟在第1自然段之后进行论述，而B选项在第1自然段进行过讨论，因此C选项正确。

第5题：

Questions 88-90 refer to the following advertisement.
Obese people are less productive in the workplace and more prone to injury, a study claims. The researchers say their findings were so extreme that overweight people may need to take longer breaks to recover from the strains of work. They assessed how long it took for people of various sizes to perform certain tasks in the workplace. Obese people had, on average, 40 per cent shorter endurance times.
The study, conducted at Virginia Tech and the University at Buffalo in the U.S., examined the endurance of 32 people in four categories: non-obese young, obese young, non-obese older, and obese older. Each of them completed three tasks that involved a range of skills: hand grip, shoulder elevation, and a simulated assembly operation. Every task involved periods of work and rest, and included a level of activity similar to manufacturing settings.
The number of people who are obese has doubled over the past three decades-and has been linked to higher rates of workplace injury and a greater number of days of sick. ‘Workers who are obese may need longer rest breaks to return to their initial state of muscle function,’ said Dr Cavuoto. Based on the increased fatigue found
among workers who are obese, workplace designers may need to consider adding fixtures and supports to minimize the amount of time that body mass segments need to be supported. ‘We believe our results will help to develop more inclusive ergonomic guideline,’ she added. The researchers also looked at the effect of obesity and age on endurance times.
Previous research has indicated that both age and obesity hamper mobility-particularly when it comes to walking and low-energy tasks. But the researchers in this study, published in the Journal of Occupational and Environmental Hygiene, found no such link.

Which of the following statements is true according to the article?

A. The subjects of the study are of all ages
B. The number of obese people has been on the increase
C. The tasks involved takes place in real work situation
D. The study has lasted over three decades

答案：B

解析：

细节题。文章第二段第一句即提到“The number of people who are obese has doubled over the past three decades”（过去的30 年中肥胖人群的数量翻了一倍），也就是说肥胖人群的数量一直在增加。故选B。

第6题：

What is the finding supported by the previous study but not the present study?

A. Obese people are less productive in work
B. Obese people find it hard to recover from strain
C. Obese people are more likely to get injured
D. Obese people suffer from poor mobility

答案：D

解析：

细节题。定位到最后一段第一句提到“Previous research has indicated that both age and obesity hamper mobility”（之前的研究表明年龄和肥胖都会妨碍到一个人的移动性），即肥胖会带来行动的不变，所以D 想符合这一意义，poor 照应了原文中的hamper 一词。

第8题：

From the second paragraph, we can see that in the early years,______.

A. those colleges and universities were the same

B. people, young or old, might study in the colleges

C. students studied only some languages and science

D. when the students finished their school, they became lawyers or teachers

正确答案：A

37．答案为A 从第二段整体来看，第一句In the early years，these schools were much alike是主体句，那时的大学都很相似，因此选A。

第9题：

A.There is no particular order of these categories
B.Generalists are those who are neither productive nor effective
C.The frequency employees need to ask a co-worker for help completing a task is recorded as effectiveness
D.Productive workers are those who finish a task quickly

答案：B

解析：

本题考查的是细节理解。
【关键词】NOT true about the categories of the workers
【主题句】第3自然段Productive： These employees are very productive，but don’t always produce quality work.
Quality：These workers produce work of superior quality，but aren’t always productive.
Generalists： These employees are average in terms of both productivity and quality.
The researchers defined productivity by how long it takes an employee to finish a task，and effectiveness by how often employees need to ask a co-worker for help completing a task.
高产出：这些员工非常有生产力，但并不总是产出高质量的工作。
高质量：这些工人生产的工作质量很高，但并不总是高效率的。
通才：这些员工的生产力和质量都很平均。
研究人员通过员工完成一项任务需要多长时间来定义工作效率，通过员工为完成任务每隔多长时间向同事寻求帮助来定义工作有效性。
【解析】本题的问题是“关于员工类别，哪一项不正确？”A选项“这些类别没有特定的顺序”；B选项“通才是那些既没有生产力又没有效率的人”；C选项“员工要求同事帮助完成任务的频率记录为有效性”；D选项“高产出工人是那些快速完成任务的人”。根据题目中关键词找到主题句，通才是生产力和质量平均的人，而非不具备生产力和效率的人，故选B。

U. S. to Start $3.2 Billion Child Health Study in January

A study that will cost $3.2 billion and last more than two decades to track the health of 100,000 U.S.children from before birth to age 21 will be launched in January,U.S.health officials said on Friday.
Officials from the U.S. government's National Institutes of Health said they hope the study,to be conducted at 105 locations throughout the United States,can help identify early-life influences that affect later development,with the goal of learning new ways to treat or prevent illness.
The study will examine hereditary（遗传的）and environmental factors such as exposure to certain chemicals that affect health.
Researchers will collect genetic and biological samples from people in the study as well as samples from the homes of the women and their babies including air,water,dust and materials used to construct their residences,the NIH said.
Officials said more than $200 million has been spent already and the study is projected to cost $3.2 billion.
"We anticipate that in the long term（从长远说来）,what we learn from the study will result in a significant savings in the nation's health care costs,"Dr. Duane Alexander,who heads the NIH's Eunice Kennedy Shriver National Institute of Child Health and Human Development,told reporters.
The study will begin in January when the University of North Carolina and the Mount Sinai School of Medicine in New York start signing up（使报名从事）pregnant women whose babies will then be followed to age 21.
Some of the early findings will be about factors behind pre-term birth（早产）,which has become more common in recent years,according to Dr. Peter Scheidt of the NIH,who heads the study.
The people taking part will be from rural,urban and suburban areas,from all income and educational levels and from all racial groups,the NIH said.

Researchers will collect all the following EXCEPT__________.
A:genetic samples from people in the study
B:biological samples from people in the study
C:samples from the homes of the women and their babies
D:samples of air and water from hospitals

答案：D

解析：

文章第二段提到了此项研究的goal，即aim，这便是“learning new ways to treat or prevent illness”。
前三项在短文的第四段都有提及，第四项应该是“参加研究的妇女及其婴儿家中的空气与水等物质，”而不是“医院中的空气与水”。
文章第六段说道，预计从长远来说，此项研究将有利于国家卫生保健费用开支的节约。
文章第一段以及倒数第三段都说道，这些婴儿将从出生前一直被跟踪研究到21岁。
前三项在短文的最后一段都有提及，只有第四项是错误的，因为研究对象都是怀孕的妇女，不可能是所有年龄段的人们。

Researchers from the following universities are involved in the study except__________.
