30、、Part IV: Reading Com(总题数：4，分数：40.00)Section A (10 points) In this section, there is one passage followed by five questions. For two questions, there are four choices marked A, B, C and D. You should decide on the best choice. Then mark the corresponding letter on the answer sheet with a single line
31、 through the centre. For the other three questions, you should complete each sentence in a maximum of ten words using information from the passage. Remember to write the answers on the answer sheet. Questions 6165 are based on the following passage. Honey Food or Medicine? What do we know about hone
32、y? Its sweet and sticky, it tastes great on bread and in hot drinks, and its a pleasant alternative to sugar. However, theres a lot more to honey than meets the eye, and one day it may replace many of the items in our medicine cabinets. Doctors throughout history have appreciated the medical propert
33、ies of honey. In Ancient Egypt it was used to treat cuts and burns. The Ancient Romans used it to help people with sleeping disorders and the Ancient Greeks used it to cure skin diseases, ulcers and sores. More recently, German doctors mixed it with cod liver oil to treat battle wounds during WWI, a
34、nd opera singers have been known to use it to boost their energy and soothe their throats. Today, as homeopathic medicine is becoming more popular, honey has been rediscovered as a natural remedy and is being used successfully to treat many ailments such as anaemia, arthritis, colds and stomach ulce
35、rs. It is particularly effective in the treatment of burns and wounds. Honey aerosol sprays have ever been used to treat chronic bronchitis. The beauty industry has also recognised the natural benefits of honey and there are many cosmetic companies which use honey-based products. These include cream
36、s, lotions, soaps and face masks which claim to help heal blemishes, reduce the appearance of scars, moisturise the skin, soften wrinkles and make skin look younger and healthier. There are also a number of honey-based hair care products which claim to strengthen hair and make it softer, shiner and
37、healthier. Honey and products containing honey have always been popular items in health food shops. Honey is sold in various forms as a remedy for sore throats, stomach ulcers and as a gentle, natural laxative. What is it then that makes honey such an effective natural remedy? Well, after many years
38、 of research, biochemists still cant say for certain. They have, however, managed to identify some of the healing properties in honey. Firstly, honey contains low levels of hydrogen peroxide, a chemical which kills bacteria. Secondly, it creates a moist environment when spread onto a wound which spe
39、eds up the natural healing process. Scientists have also found that certain types of honey act as antibiotics. In fact, honey is actually more effective than some of our current antibiotics because it works on certain microbes and bacteria that have developed a resistance to current antibiotic treat
40、ment. However, researchers have also found some types of honey are more beneficial than others. For example, honey containing nectar from the Australian jelly bush and the New Zealand tea tree plant have been found to possess more medicinal properties than other varieties. Medical researchers are st
41、ill working on identifying the role that honey could play in future medical practices, but they all agree that we should not be using the honey in our kitchen cupboards to treat ourselves. This is because many commercial brands of honey actually contain bacteria which could contaminate an open wound
42、. They also agree, unfortunately, that simply eating honey has minimal health benefits. （分数：10.00）(1).Researchers are not sure _. （分数：2.00）A.about how sweet honey isB.that honey has any medicinal propertiesC.about the levels of hydrogen peroxide in honeyD.how effective honey is as an antibiotic(2).C
