29、 1:_ （正确答案：lose weight）解析：听力原文A bowl of soup a day could keep the pounds at bay.

This is because you tend to feel full sooner, you eat less of your main course. The soup re
30、gime was tested by researchers at Pennsylvania State University, led by Dr. Barbara Rolls. They found that when participants in the study ate a first course of soup before lunch they reduced their total calorie intake by 20 percent, compared with those who did not begin the meal with soup.But those
31、who favour creamy soups should beware. Researchers stressed the soup must be low calorie and based on stock, not cream.All of the soups tested in the study were made from identical ingredients-chicken stock, broccoli, potato, cauliflower and carrots.They were blended to create four different texture
32、s and degrees of thickness from separate stock and vegetables through to pureed soup.Scientists thought that thick soups with chunks of vegetables which required chewing might be more filling, but to their surprise they found all forms had the same effect.The findings were presented to the Experimen

These insects do major damage, unlike native kinds of fire a
35、nts. Each year they cause an estimated six billion dollars worth of damage in the United States. More than one billion dollars of that is just in Texas.The ants are thought to have arrived in the southern state of Alabama in the nineteen twenties or thirties. Since then they have spread northward an
36、d all the way to the West Coast.They ruin crops, damage soil and get into animal feed. They also damage electrical equipment and machinery. Not only that, they injure animals and workers. So farmers have to deal with -medical costs and lost labor.Fire ants get their name because when they sting, the
37、y inject poison into the skin that causes a feeling of intense burning. Some people suffer life-threatening reactions.Colonies of red imported fire ants can be found in cities as well as farming areas. They can go deep underground to survive periods of little or no rain. They have no native predator
38、s, no creatures that like to feed on them.But one solution could come from the ants themselves, in the form of a virus that some of them carry. This virus may someday help control the population.Scientists at the United States Department of Agriculture began to work with the virus about five years a
39、go. The researchers observed one hundred sixty-eight nests of imported fire ants in Florida. They found the virus in almost one-fourth of them.The researchers found that the virus affected every part. of fire-ant development, including the eggs. The affected colonies died in about three months.Now,
40、government researchers want to work with a private company to produce large amounts of the virus. It could then be used as a biological control.(2).Which of the following is NOT the damage done by red ants?A. They can destroy the houses of farmers.B. They can injure animals and farmers.C.

43、 resistant to the disease.More than three million people become infected with malaria each year. The disease kills at least one million people every year. Malaria is found in Africa, Asia, the Middle East and South America.Malaria parasites enter a persons blood through the bite of a very small inse
44、ct-the mosquito. The malaria parasites travel to the liver. The organisms grow and divide there. After a week or two, the parasites invade red blood cells and reproduce thousands of times. They cause a persons body temperature to rise. They also may destroy major organs. People with malaria may suff
45、er kidney failure or loss of red blood cells.People die from malaria because they are not treated or treatment is delayed. Different drugs can prevent the parasites from developing in the body. But experts still say the best way to prevent the disease is not to be bitten by a mosquito.That could cha
46、nge in the future. Research scientists at The Johns Hopkins University have created mosquitoes that cannot spread the malaria parasites. Computer studies show that such insects are needed to replace mosquitoes in the wild if malaria control is to succeed. The researchers reported their findings in t
