Sweet, sour, salt, savoury, bitter AND fat: Scientists discover that tongue has 'sixth sense' for lipids甜酸咸鲜苦外加脂肪:科学家发现舌头也有第六感
If you cannot resist a
cake or chips, it may not be simply down to lack of willpower. 如果你无法抵制油腻的蛋糕或是薯条的诱惑,那可不仅仅是因为缺乏意志力。
Some of us have a sixth sense of taste – for fat – and those of us who lack it could be more
to piling on the pounds. 我们中有一些人对脂肪有味觉第六感。而没有脂肪味觉的其他人,就会容易受到影响造成体重增加。
For years it was thought that the tongue could detect just four elements of taste – sweet, sour, salt and bitter. Then a fifth ‘’ one was discovered.长期以来人们认为舌头可以识别四种基本味觉元素:甜酸咸苦,后来我们我们又发现了第五种味觉:鲜味。
Now scientists believe a genetic variant can make some people far more sensitive to fat
than others.现在科学家们认为,因为基因变异,会是有些人对脂肪分子比其他人更敏感。
Until now, it had been assumed that the desire to eat fatty foods was to do with the sensory system, with some people attracted to its smell and texture.到目前为止,人们的普通观点认为,想吃油腻的食物跟感官系统有关,有许多人就是沉迷于油腻食物的味道和质感。
But the Washington University School of Medicine researchers found that obese people’s cravings for fatty food may be related to their levels of a receptor called CD36.华盛顿大学医学院的研究者发现,肥胖人群对油腻食物的渴望可能跟他们体内的一种叫CD36的受体蛋白质的指数有关。
Those with more of it are better at detecting the presence of fatty food, and seemingly less likely to gorge on it. Twenty-one overweight people were asked to taste
from three cups and point to which was different. One contained small amounts of a fatty oil, while the other two were fat-free.CD36受体指数越高,对油腻食物的识别能力就越好,也就不太可能暴饮暴食高脂肪的油腻食物。研究者要求31名超重人士品尝三杯溶液然后指出哪一杯不同。其中一杯含有少量的脂肪油,其他两杯则不含。
Participants who made the most CD36 were eight times more sensitive to the presence of the fat than those who made around half the amount.体内含有最多CD36受体的实验参与者,对脂肪的敏感度要比其他只有一半CD36的参与者高8倍。
Researcher Professor Nada Abumrad said the finding could help treat obesity by finding a way to increase sensitivity to it.实验的研究者、Nada Abumrad教授表示,这一发现可以通过提高对脂肪的敏感程度来治疗肥胖症。
‘What we will need to determine in the future is whether our ability to detect fat in foods influences our fat intake, which clearly would have an impact on obesity,’ she said.她表示:“在未来我们需要确定,是否是我们对食物中脂肪的识别能力影响着我们的脂肪摄入,而脂肪摄入量则会影响肥胖症。”
As people eat more fat, it is possible they need more and more to satisfy their cravings, the researchers told the Journal of Lipid Research. 研究者对《脂肪研究期刊》表示,人们摄入的脂肪越多,就可能越来越需要满足他们的食欲。
小编碎碎念:弱弱的说一句,我一直以为舌头的5大基本味觉是酸甜苦辣咸,竟然是酸甜咸苦鲜?oh no,偶的世界观被颠覆了...
舌头除了传统的甜酸咸苦和鲜味,还有第六感?味觉的第六感是什么?竟然是脂肪!研究证明,如果你对油腻的食物很敏感,那恭喜你,你的舌头有脂肪第六感。当前位置: >>

Romulus and Remns,founders of ancient Rome,were said to have been brought up by wolves.It is believed that when a she-wolf loses her litter,she tries to find a human baby to take its place. This seemingly unreasonable idea did not become believable until the nineteenth century when a French doctor actually found a boy wandering in a forest.The boy had no clothes on and was judged to be ten years old by some experts. He did not walk straight up like a human being, but with both his hands and feet touching the ground .The boy could not speak but howled like a wolf.He did not eat any cooked food but raw meat such as hare,deer,or goat meat. He knew nothing about the relationships among human families.Finally the doctor won the boys trust,and the boy started to obey him. After many long years of devoted and patient instruction,the doctor managed to get the boy to dress himself in clothes and feed himself as a human being does.With great difficulty,the doctor was able to make the wolf-boy recognize and speak quite a few words. 21.According to the passage.it is believed that______B_______ A.wolf-children are a common occurrence existing in every country every century B.the unusual occurrence of wolf-children has existed for over twenty centuries C.she-wolves enjoy looking after a human baby instead of her own child D.human beings are curious about wolf-children 本题考细节。 答案在文章第一段第一句。 700 Bc 指公元前 700 年, 距现在(21 世纪)超过 2 ooo#: , 故答案为 B。 22.

In the evening she would go to a fancy dress party with her husband.She wanted to dress up as a ghost and as she had made her costume the night before,she was impatient to try it on.Though the costume consisted only of a sheet, it was really splendid. After putting it on, she went downstairs to find out whether it would be comfortable to wear. Just as Mrs Richards was entering the dining-room,there was a knock on the front door.She knew it must be the baker. She had told him to come straight in if ever she failed to open the door and to leave the bread on the table.Not wanting to frighten the poor man,she quickly hid in the small store-room under the stair. She heard the front door opened and heavy footsteps in the hall. Suddenly the door of the store-room was opened and in came a man.Mrs Richards realized it must be the man from the Electricity Board who had come to read the meter.She tried to explain the situation.saying“it's only me. ”But it was too late,the man let out a cry and jumped back several paces.When Mrs Richards walked towards him,he fled,closing the door heavily behind him. 11.The reason for Mrs Richards's excitement that day was that_____B_______.

They would point out that one of their neighbors is happier than any one of them. “Doctor Frank has a career himself.His wife is the most beautiful and well educated lady in the community. No, I don’t think I am happier than Doctor Frank. At least my career is not as successful as his.& Most of us compare ourselves with anyone we think is happier----a relative, a close friend or, often, someone we even hardly know.I once met a young man who struck me as particularly successful and happy. He spoke of his love for his beautiful wife and their daughters,and of his joy at being a Tv talk-show host.I remember thinking he was one of the lucky few for whom everything goes effortlessly right. Once we talked about the internet, he is grateful for its existence.He told me,because he could look up information on diabetes(糖尿病).The terrible disease that made his wife suffer and could possibly be passed down to his lovely children.When I heard this. I felt like a fool for taking it for granted that nothing Unhappy existed in his 1ife. This made me think a lot and I soon drew one of the most significant conclusions about happiness: there is little relationship between the situations of people's lives and how happy they are.We all know people who are richer and have an easier life than others.Yet they are essentially unhappy. And we know people who have suffered a great deal but generally remain happy.Unhappiness is like looking at something and fixing on even the smallest fault. As a bald man told me, “Whenever I enter a room,all I see is hair&, It is hard for us to give up the imagine of &being perfect”. As nothing is perfect.Anyone can be unhappy.It takes no courage or effort to be unhappy.True happiness lies in struggling to be happy. 11.According to the author,most people would________they are the happiest in the world.D A.doubt whether C.think about whether B.1ike to think that D.not think that 这是考核作者的观点。第一段开始作者即提出问题,并按一般人的情况,给出否定回答,据此 可知答案为 D。 12.The author thinks that people quite often compare themselves with ___________. C A. a close friend C.anyone we think is happier B a relative D.someone we even hardly know 这是考核作者的观点。第二段第一句即说明此点,所以答案为 c。 13.What is not true about the young man the author once met with ? B A. He is a TV talk-show host. B. Everything goes effortlessly right for him. C.He loves his wife and their daughters. D.He is very happy with his work and his life. 这是考核判断能力。第二段前后对照来读,可以判断出答案为 B。 14.After talking with the young man about the Internet,the author realise_________. A A.that he is mistaken in thinking nothing unhappy existed in the latter ’s life B.how grateful the young man is for the existence of the Internet C.how terribly the young mans wife suffer from the disease--diabetes D.that there is a lot of information one can look up in the Internet 这是考核细节。第二段最后一句明确提示答案为 A。 15.The significant conclusion the author draws about happiness is that ________. D A it is hard for us to give up the image of“being perfect” B.unhappiness is like looking at something and fixing on even the smallest fault c.know people who have suffered a great deal but generally remain happy D.true happiness lies in struggling to be happy 这是考核中心思想。文中最后一句话有明确陈述,所以答案为 D。 参考译文: &你是世界上最幸福的人吗?& 当大多数人被问到此问题时,回答是否定的,他们并不认为自 己比身边的人更幸福.他们可能会说,他们的某一个邻居比其他人都幸福.&FRANK 博士有他自己 辉煌的事业,他的妻子也是社区里最漂亮和最有学识的女人.不,我不认为我比他更幸福,至少我的 事业就没有他那么成功.& 大多数人都会拿一些他们认为比自己幸福的人作比较―亲戚、 好友, 有时候甚至我们不知道 自己在跟谁比。曾经,我遇到一个非常成功和幸福的男人,他在主持脱口秀时向他的妻子和女 儿表达爱意和愉快的样子,让我觉得他是少数的幸运儿,这一切对他们来说都看似毫不费力。 有一次跟他在网上聊天,他很感谢网络的存在。他可以查到到关于糖尿病的信息,他说他妻子 受到糖尿病痛苦折磨并可能遗传给他们可爱的女儿。我听到这个消息的时候,我像一个傻子一 样,还理所当然地认为他生活中没有任何不高兴的事情存在。 这让我思考良久, 旋即我在心中刻划出有关幸福的最有意义的影像: 一个人幸福与否跟他的 生活处境几乎没有关系。我们都知道,那些有钱人比我生活更容易,可是他们不一定比我们更 幸福,而也有很受过重大挫折的人能幸福的生活。不幸福就像是我们在寻找什么东西犯了最无 足轻重的错误,就如一个光头告诉我, “每当我进入一个房间,我看到的全是头发。 ” 让我们放弃“成就完美”的想像很难,然而金无足赤,任何都可能不幸福。没有不高兴的勇 气和努力,真正的幸福存在于幸福的追求当中。As our cell phones get smarter, smaller and faster, and enable users to connect at high speeds to the internet, an obvious question arises: is the mobile handset into the next computer?

The smart phone market makes up only five percent of overall mobile phone sales today, but the figure has been doubling each year.

Cooper's interests in stocks(证券)began at the age of nine,when he noticed his father reading something in the newspaper.It looked different from sports or TV programs.So Bill asked his father what it was. His father explained that he was reading the financial pages. His father pointed to a column with some company's logo in it. “If you owned a share of this company, ” he told his young boy, “you'd have 25 cents more today than you had yesterday. ” Young Cooper asked,“You can make money without doing any work? ”His father replied yes.So Bill responded, “Well,that's what I want to do. ” With this idea, he made his way out of his secondary school and into the university. He worked very hard at his studies of finance.

What's going on?” There are at least three things on that have caused the price of wine to rise. All have to do with the supply and demand factors of economics. The first factor is that people are drinking more wine than ever before.This demand for more wine has increased overall wine sales in America at the rate of 15 percent a year. The second factor is that the supply of wine has stayed relatively the same.which means that the samenumber of bottles is produced each year Wine producers are trying to open up new land to grow more grapes(葡萄).But in at least three wine producing areas of the world-France,Germany.and California-new vineyards(葡萄园)will not be available in the near future.Wines are produced in other countries,such as Italy.Spain and Australia.but none of these countries will be able to fill the demand for good wines. The third factor is that costs of wine production are increasing.The men who make wine are asking for more money,and the machinery needed to press the grapes is becoming more expensive. When the demand for something is greater than the supply,prices go up.When production costs, meaning the price of labor and machinery,rise,the producer adds this increase to the price of the wine. 6.From the first paragraph,we know that the speaker is___________________________.D A.asking about the price C.bargaining over the price B.worrying about the price D.complaining about the price 这是考核推理能力。 “How come the Drice is now $2.257”(怎么现在就变成了$2.257)可见,说 话者是在埋怨价格涨得太快,故答案为 D。 7.The three factors mentioned in the passage cause___________________________.B A.the sales of wine to increase C.the production of wine to decrease B.the price of wine to go up D.more and more people to drink wine 这是考核细节。答案在文章第二段第一句,可知答案为 B。 8.The supply of wine has remained the same partly because___________________________.D A.wine producing countries are unwilling to increase their production B.new vineyards will not be opened up in such countries as Australia C.countries like Italy and Spain can't supply enough good wines D.the production of wine has ceased to increase 这是考核细节。答案在文章第四段第一句。 “?the same number of bottles is produced”提示答案 为 D。 9.What does“production costs”refer to in the last paragraph?___________________________.D A.The price of grapes and machines C.The price of wine and wine bottles. B.The cost of land and transportation.D.The cost of manpower and equipment. 这是考核细节。答案在文章最后一段第二句。从“?when production costs.meaning the price of labor and machinery, rise. ” 可以看出. Production costs 是指 the costs of labor(相当于 manpower) 和 machinery(相当于 equipment),故答案为 D。 10.The author's purpose of writing this passage is to___________________________.C A.persuade people to drink less wine B tell people where to get the best wine C.explain why the price of wine is rising D.show that wine is popular with Americans 这是考核主旨。文章通篇都在解释红酒价格上涨的因素,故答案为 c。 参考译文: “上星期这瓶酒只要花 1.69 美元,现在怎么要 2.25 美元了呢?这是怎么回事?” 至少有三个原因导致了酒价的上涨。都与经济的供求有关。 第一个原因是人们比以往任何时候喝的酒都多。这种对酒的大量需求使美国的酒的总体销售 每年以 15%的速度上涨。 第二个原因是,酒的供应相对稳定,也就是说,每年生产的酒的数量是一样的。酒的生产商 正在想办法开辟新的土地来种更多的葡萄。但是至少在法国,德国和加里佛尼亚这三个葡萄酒生 产基地,新的葡萄园在最近是不可能形成的。其他国家也生产葡萄酒,如意大利,西班牙和澳大 利亚,但是这些地方都不能满足对优质葡萄酒的需求。 第三个原因是生产葡萄酒的成本在增加。生产葡萄酒的工人要求加薪,用来压榨葡萄的机器 越来越贵。 当某件东西供不应求了,价格就会上涨。当产品的成本,比如劳动力和机器的价格上涨,生 产商就会把增加的价格加到酒的价格上去。Blocks of“high―rise”flats have been built in large numbers in London and in many other big cities. Just after the Second World War these big, twenty-to―thirty storey buildings, hundreds of feet in height,were thought to be the ideal solution to the housing problem .For on the one hand,there was severe housing shortage,but on the other hand,there was lack of space to build houses in urban areas. Blocks of “high―rise” flats seemed, at first, to be able to solve the problem, since they can offer space for more families to live in on less land.The beautiful,modem apartments in the high rises were much sought after by people who lived downtown.Hundreds of the vast blocks had been built before anyone began to doubt about whether they were good solutions or not.Are they suitable places for people, children especially, to live in? A wellknown British architect, who personally designed many of these buildings, now believes that the high―rises may well make those people who have been housed in them suffer a great deal.Evidence has been collected by social workers,which suggests that people do suffer . They complain about severe loneliness and deep depression living within these great towers.People also talk about lack of communication with others,no easy access to a playground for children, no chances for adults to get familiarized with each other. Many people say that they have lived next door to each other for years in the same building,but they never know who their neighbors are.Some experts say that a large number of people living in the high-rises suffer from mental disorder and have even developed criminal tendencies.As a result of these new discoveries,plans for new high-rise blocks are being reconsidered. We are now building up many high-rises in big cities such as Beijing,Shanghai and Guangzhou.Perhaps we should also reconsider the idea too. 11.There was a big housing problem after the Second World War__________.C A in London B.in the rural areas C.in many big cities D.in many countries 这是考核理解和判断。文章一开始就提到为解决房荒,二战后在伦敦及其他大城市建造了许 多高层住宅,因此答案为 C。 12.Blocks of“high-rise” flats were thought to be the ideal solution to the housing problem, because_______________.D A.there was severe house shortage in big cities B. there was less and less land to build houses in big cities C.they were modem and beautiful and much sought after by city people D.they were built on less land and were able to house a lot more people 这是考核判断能力。建造高层住宅最主要的原因只有一个,即答案为 D。 13.The sentence“Hundreds of the vast blocks had been built before anyone began to doubt about whether they were good solutions or not. ”means___________.A A. it was not until hundreds of the vast blocks had been built, people began to doubt about whether they were good solutions or not B. hundreds of the vast blocks had not been built until people began to doubt about whether they were good solutions or not C. people began to doubt about whether they were good solutions or not before hundreds of the vast blocks had been built D.before hundreds of the vast blocks had been built,some people began to doubt about whether they were good solutions or not 这是考核查对“?(主句)+before?(从句)” 这一特殊句型的理解。句中由 before 引导的从句 常常含有否定含义,所以答案为 A。 14 . The author takes a well-known British architect as an example to show us that_____________.B A. he is very proud of his designing of many of the high-rises B.even a well-known designer of the high-rises believes they are no good for people C.even a well-known designer of the high-rises suffers personally D.high-rises are well-designed modem buildings which meet people's needs 这是考核对下半段内容的理解。下半段主要从讨论高层住宅的负面影响人手,质疑其是否是 解决房荒的理想方法,作者举例是为了说明这一点,所以答案为 B。 15.What is the greatest danger for people living in a high-rise according to some experts? _______________________________.C A. Lack of communication with others. B.No easy access to a playground for children. C.Developing criminal tendencies. D.Not knowing the neighbors. 这是考核细节和判断。文中最后谈到几条住高层住宅的负面影响,但最危险的自然应属犯罪 倾向,所以答案为 C。 参考译文: 伦敦和其他许多大城市已经建起了大量的高层住宅。 二战后, 这些巨大的高达二十到三十层, 几百米高的高层住宅成为房荒问题的理想解决办法。一方面,房子严重短缺,但是另一方面,市 区建筑用地短缺。起初,高层住宅似乎能解决这个问题,因为这些高层住宅能以较少的用地提供 更多的家庭居住。城里人竞相购买这些高层住宅里漂亮、现代化的公寓。在没有任何人怀疑这是 否是最好的解决办法之前上百幢大型的高层住宅群已经拔地而起。这些住宅真的适合人们,尤其 是孩子居住吗?一位著名的英国建筑家,他本人就设计过很多这样的高层住宅,现在相信居住在 这些高层住宅的人深受其害。社会工作者收集的证据显示人们确实深受其害。他们抱怨住在这些 巨塔之中有强烈的孤独感和压抑感。人们还提及到与他人缺乏交流,孩子们没有地方玩耍,成人 之间没有机会相互熟悉。很多人都说他们在同一幢楼里住了好几年都不认识门挨门的邻居。一些 专家说很多高层住宅的居民患有心理失常并且有犯罪倾向。由于这些新发现,人们开始重新思考 高层住宅的问题,现在在北京、上海和广州这样的大城市高层住宅正在拔地而起。或许我们也应 该反思这个想法了。Cynthia Woolly is called the Michael Jordan of women's basketball.With the help and support of her mother,she made her way out of a Los Angeles ghetto(贫民窟) and into the world of women's basketball.She is now a member of the Women's National Basketball Association She led her basketball team of the city to three championships in a row.Woolly says she has learned many lessons from her mother.One was that you“step up” when your family needs you.As a result,today,she takes care of five children of her brother's and sister's,ranging in age from six to twenty.They now live in a better neighborhood and go to good schools“I'm not providing these children with money.a nice house and good schools so that the5,will not have to know hardships in life and will make no efforts to make their life better I am doing it so that they don't have to start at a disadvantage.My mother started out at zero.

Some people consider tbat the permissive nature of modem society is responsible for such kindofbehavior.Small children who are continuously encouraged to express themselves withOut reservation are naturalLy unwilling to accept school discipline when theygrowlder.Furthermore, modern teaching techniques,which apper to stress personal enjoyment at the expense of serious study work, might be teaching the child to put his own interests before his duties to the community in which he lives. Perhaps the problem can be solved by improving facilities for the moral guidance of these difficult cbildren or by better cooperation between the schools and the parents--for the parents may be mainly reponsible for the bad behavior of their youngsters.Violence at home,violence and crime on Tv make some children turn violence themselves. But some of the teachers believe that there ought to be a return to more “old fashioned” methods. At present,in some school teachers are even not allowed to punish a child who does something bad and wrong.Phy5ical punishment is not permitted now.People are too soft on children these days.It seems that che children can do whatever they like at school while the teachers can't do anything to punish them.I don't know why the schools authority abandoned some of the effective punishments that worked well. Things like that didn't happen when we were at school because the teachers kept those problem students under control by using a stick. ll.Teachers in some secondary schools in Britain are worried,for__________.D A.they might soon lose their jobs C.there are too many problem schools B.they cannot teach very well D.there is no discipline in the classmom、 这是考核理解和判断。从第一段可判断,所以答案为 D。 12.AcordIng to the letter writer,modem teaching techniques__________.A A.encourage pupils to play a lot instead of learning B. help pupils spend much time on serious learning C.do not give pupils any moral lessons D.teach a child to put his own interests before his duties 这是考核作者的观点。作者在第二段后半部分谈到现代教学手段强调娱乐,冈此答案为 A。 13.The letter writer believes that__________are responsible for pmblern children's bad behavior.D A.parent C. modem society B.modem teaching methods D.all of the above 这是考核总结能力。该文前半部分讨论原因,对答案 A,B 和 c 中的情况都有涉及,因此答案 为 D。 14.The letter writer seems to believe Very strongly in________to restore discipline at school.C A.abandoning more“old fashioned”methods B.improving facilities for the moral guidance C.physical punishment D.cooperation between the schools and the parents 这是考核作者的观点。作者在信件后半部分举例说明这一问题,表明自己的观点,因此答案 为 C。 15.The best title for this passage might be________.B A.Our Schools Today C.Who is Responsible for? B.Restore Order in School D.Dealing with Problem Children at School 这是考核中心思想。文巾一开始提出观点,后面围绕这一观点层层展开,所以答案为 B。 参考译文: 亲爱的编辑, 英国的中学老师很担心他们的工作在不久的将来将很难进展,除非一些管理班级纪律的措施 出台。在一些问题学校,一小部分十几岁学生扰乱课堂秩序到了教师无法继续正常上课的程度, 这些学校多半在大城市。 一些人认为现代社会的随意本性思想应该为这样的行为负责。那些小孩子一直受到鼓励去毫 无保留表达自己,当他们长大的时候自然不愿意遵守学校纪律。而且现代教学方法迎合强调个人 享受,摒弃严肃学习工作态度的观点,可能会教孩子把个人兴趣放在前,团体责任放在后。 通过采取提高这些困难学生的道德指导的手段或家长与学校进一步的合作的方法或许能解决 这个问题,家长可能要为孩子的坏行为负主要责任。家庭暴力,电视剧里的暴力和犯罪使得一些 孩子产生暴力行为。 但是一些教师相信应该回归到更“老式”的教学方式。现在,一些学校禁止老师惩罚做坏事 和犯错的孩子。 现在也禁止体罚。 人们对孩子过于纵容。 看起来, 在学校里孩子能为所欲为, 老师却一点也不能惩罚他们。 我不知道学校当局为什么放弃了一些行之有效的惩罚方法。 在 我们上学的时代这样的事情决不会发生,因为老师用一根教鞭就可以将这些问题学生控制 住。Deur F
