Text 4There have been rumors. There’s been gossip. All Hollywood is shocked to learn that

Calista Flockhart, star of Fox’s hit TV show Ally McBeal, is so thin. And we in the media are falling all over ourselves trying to figure out whether Flockhart has an eating disorder, especially now that she has denied it. Well, I’m not playing the game. If the entertainment industry really cared about sending the wrong message on body image, it wouldn’t need so many slender celebrities in the first place.

But the fact remains that 2 million Americans—most of them women and girls—do suffer from eating disorders. In the most extreme cases they literally starve themselves to death. And those who survive are at greater risk of developing brittle bones, life-threatening infections, kidney damage and heart problems. Fortunately, doctors have learned a lot over the past decade about what causes eating disorders and how to treat them.

The numbers are shocking. Approximately 1 in 150 teenage girls in the U. S. falls victim to anorexia nervosa, broadly defined as the refusal to eat enough to maintain even a minimal body weight. Not so clear is how many more suffer from bulimia, in which they binge on food, eating perhaps two or three days’ worth of meals in 30 minutes, then remove the excess by taking medicine to move the bowels or inducing vomiting. Nor does age necessarily protect you. Anorexia has been diagnosed in girls as young as eight. Most deaths from the condition occur in women over 45.

Doctors used to think eating disorders were purely psychological. Now they realize there’s some problematic biology as well. In a study published in the Archives of General Psychiatry recently, researchers found abnormal levels of serotonin, a neurotransmitter in the brain, in women who had been free of bulimia for at least a year. That may help explain why drugs have allowed a lot of people to stop swallowing in large doses of food. Unfortunately, the pills don’t work as well for denial of food. Nor do they offer a simple one-stop cure. Health-care workers must re-educate their patients in how to eat and think about food.

How can you tell if someone you love has an eating disorder？ “Bulimics will often leave evidence around as if they want to get caught.” Says Tamara Pryor, director of an eating-disorders clinic at the University of Kansas in Wichita. Anorexics, by contrast, are more likely to go through long periods of denial.

第36题：We can infer from the first paragraph that _____.

［A］ the media has mislead the public’s view of celebrities

［B］ there is much misunderstanding about eating disorders

［C］ body image concerns are an indication of eating disorders

［D］ the entertainment industry is combating eating disorders

In January 2008 Arti entered in a contractual agreement with Bee Ltd to write a study manu

al for an international accountancy body’s award. The manual was to cover the period from September 2008 till June 2009, and it was a term of the contract that the text be supplied by 30 June 2008 so that it could be printed in time for September. By 30 May, Arti had not yet started on the text and indeed he had written to Bee Ltd stating that he was too busy to write the text.

Bee Ltd was extremely perturbed by the news, especially as it had acquired the contract to supply all of the

accountancy body’s study manuals and had already incurred extensive preliminary expenses in relation to the publication of the new manual.

Required:

In the context of the law of contract, advise Bee Ltd whether they can take any action against Arti.

第8题

According to new research of Prof.Randolf Menzel from the Free University in Berlin，th

e popular image of bees as the ultimate hard workers was inaccurate.“Al—though we see bees buzzing around tirelessly in spring and summer，the common belief in a bee’s busy nature is based on a misconception，” he said.People only really see bees when they’re out flying，or they look at a colony of bees and see thousands of them buzzing around.They don't get to pick them out as individuals.The professor，who this month won a German Zoological Society award for his work on bees，added that bees compensated for their apparent laziness with high intelligence，advanced memory skills and an ability to learn quickly.

The suggestion that bees were not pulling their weight met with skepticism from British beekeepers.Glyn Davies，the President of the British Beekeepers Association，said that bees were not lazy but efficient，“At any particular stage in its energy by doing nothing.Each bee has a unit of life energy and the faster it works，the faster it dies.They are being very wise and perhaps humans should try to follow their example instead of running about like headless chickens.”

The idea of the busy bee is several thousand years old.One current author who has nothing but admiration for the bee is Paul Theroux，the novelist and part-time beekeeper.“I have never seen a bee sleeping.My bees never stop working，”he said.Mr.

Theroux added that Prof.Menzel’s research could have been affected by his national origins.“Perhaps in comparison to the German rate of work，the bee does look lazy，”he said.

Few people think that the busy bee idea will go away，despite the efforts of Prof.Menzel.It seems absurd to apply the word“lazy”to a colony of creatures capable of producing something so extraordinary as honeycomb.The truth is that bees give us an inferiority complex that is not entirely unjustified.In fact，the worship of bees seems to be undergoing a renaissance.IBM recently ran a series of ads drawing on the“waggle dance”of bees，telling businessmen to“make your business waggle.”

36.Prof.Randolf Menzel’s latest research .

A.challenges our knowledge of the relations among bees

B.confirms our knowledge of the relations among bees

C.challenges our perception of the nature of bees

D.confirms our perception of the nature of bees

37.Prof.Randolf Menzel would disagree that .

A.bees are hard working

B.bees are quick learners

C.bees have intelligence

D.bees have good memory

38.According to Glyn Davies，what should we learn from bees？

A.How to work faster.

B.How to live longer.

C.How to cooperate with each other.

D.How to improve work efficiency.

39.It could be inferred from Paragraph 3 that the Germans .

A.are easily affected by their national characters

B.are extremely busy and hard working

C.have many things in common with bees

D.tend to look down upon lazy people

40.The IBM ads in the passage are used to .

A.show the popularity of the idea of busy bees

B.emphasize the negative image of busy bees

第10题

How do you feel about bees? Do you get irritated when they buzz around you and do you fear their mission is just to sting you? Love them or loathe them, these little insects are extremely important creatures, and without them we might starve. Bees deserve some respect - they give us honey, and they play thei part either pollinating the many vegetables and fruits we eat directly or pollinating the food for the animals that we then consume. In fact,they are the world’ s most important pollinators. That‘ s not all - a study by the University of Reading in the UK, found bees and other pollinating insects have a global economic value of around £120bn ($150bn) and contribute around £690m ($850m) to the UK economy every year.

So, bees are worth protecting, and although a small number of bee species are vital for crops such as oilseed rape, apples and strawberries, experts say we should be taking care of all our bees. Researchers say conservation efforts should be aimed at a wide number of species - even those that currently contribute little to crop pollination - in order to maintain biodiversity and ensure future food security.

Unfortunately, in recent times, bee populations have been declining due to pesticides, parasites, disease and habitat loss. It’ s something we should be worried about because, as Gill Perkins, chief executive of the Bumblebee Conservation Trust,told BBC Future website: ‘They provide a whole ecosystem service.’; The recent lockdowns caused by the coronavirus pandemic seem to have given bee populations a little boost because they faced less human disturbance, traffic and polluting fumes.

Conservationists hope, going forward, people will appreciate bees more and encourage them to thrive as they reconnect with nature.Gill Perkins says, ‘;They are beginning to realise how their mental health and wellbeing is supported by nature – particularly by bumblebees, which are so iconic and beautiful and buzzy.’ So, it really seems time to give bees a second chance.

1. By ’irritated‘ in the first paragraph, the author means（）.

A、happy

B、interested

C、annoyed

D、emotional

2.According to the passage, what do bees do to the fruits and vegetables we eat?（）

A、They pollinate them.

B、They eat them.

C、They play with them.

D、They pick them.

3. Conservation efforts should be aimed at（）.

A、a wide number of species

B、a small number of species

C、several species

D、few species

4.What reasons do not contribute to the decline in bee populations?（）

A、pesticides

B、parasites

C、disease

D、hunting

5. According to the passage, which of the following statements is NOT true?（）

A、Gill Perkins says reconnecting with nature helps improve the mental health of bumblebees.

B、Gill Perkins says bees provide a whole ecosystem service.

C、Conservationists hope that people will appreciate bees more and encourage them to thrive.

D、According to a study in UK, bees and other pollinating insects have an important global economic value.
