Studies suggest that about 20 percent of people are “high attractor types“ who are especially appealing to
19、the female mosquitoes (蚊子) seeking out blood for the extra protein (蛋白质) they need to lay eggs. Of course, not all mosquitoes are the same. But let s consider some of the more general properties that affect your mosquito appeal. Clothing Color Its true, mosquitoes have discerning(有辨识能力的 ) fashion ta
20、ste. Or at least, they re more likely to spot you as a target if you stand out from your environment. Dark colors, especially, will attract more of the insect. Body Heat Visual clues allow the mosquito to locate you from relatively far away, but as she approaches, it s your body heat that draws her
21、in. This puts pregnant women, who average about 1. 26 degrees Fahrenheit (华氏温度) warmer than others, at a particular riska fact which has been substantiated (证实) by a number of studies. Carbon Dioxide This is another reason pregnant women are at a disadvantage. Mosquitoes can detect carbon dioxide us
22、ing a special organ called a maxillary palp (下颚须) from as far as 164 feet away. Unfortunately for mothers-to-be, pregnancy causes women to emit 21 percent more CO2. This is also why kids are often safe from bites, when bigger, more CO2-emitting adults are around. Alcohol Intake On the flip side(另一方面
23、) , pregnant women are (presumably) avoiding another mosquito attractor: alcohol. Although it s unclear how mosquitoes go about detecting the presence of ethanol(乙醇), studies show that drinking even just 12 ounces of beer will significantly increase the attention you receive from the pests. The Prop
24、erties of Your Skin and Sweat Up to 85 percent of your susceptibility(敏感性) to mosquito bites has nothing to do with what youre drinking, wearing or how much heat your body emitsit s just genetic. Specifically, the composition of your skin bacteriathe kind that naturally and healthily exists therecan
25、 serve as an attractor. Blood Type Another factor you can t control? Your blood type. And it stands to reason that, if the mosquito is there to suck your blood, she cares what kind she s getting. People with blood type O are more prone to mosquito bites than those with type B, with type A folks brin
26、ging up the rear.41 According to the author, which factor below serves as the most influencing one in mosquito appealing?（A）Alcohol drinking.（B） Clothing color.（C） The properties of the skin and sweat.（D）The body heat.42 What is false about the “ clothing color“ and “body heat“ factors?（A）The heat s
27、urrounding you helps to attract the mosquito far away.（B） The mosquito easily detects people who wear different colors from others.（C） Mosquitoes like warm places.（D）The pregnant women get bitten much easier because they are warmer.43 What is NOT the reason why the pregnant women have a high risk of
28、 mosquito appeal?（A）They emit more CO2 than normal people.（B） The air surrounding them are much warmer than others.（C） They drink alcohol.（D）They emit more heat than people around.44 What is the best title for this passage?（A）Properties That Affect Your Mosquito Appeal（B） Why Pregnant Women Attract
29、Mosquitoes Easily?（C） Your Gene Make You More Attractive to Mosquitoes（D）Why Are Some People More Prone to Mosquito Bites?45 Which statement is NOT true according to the author?（A）People with blood type A are more attractive than those with type O.（B） Take baths more often lower the risks of mosquit
30、o biting.（C） Kids get less bites because they emit less CO2.（D）The author is among the “high attractor types“.45 It is natural for young people to be critical of their parents at times and to blame them for most of the misunderstandings between them. They have always complained, more or less justly,
31、 that their parents are out of touch with modern ways: that they are possessive and dominant: that they do not trust their children to deal with crises: that they talk too much about certain problemsand that they have no sense of humor, at least in parent-child relationships.I think it is true that
32、parents often underestimate their teenage children and also forget how they themselves felt when young.Young people often irritate their parents with their choices in clothes and hairstyles, in entertainers and music. This is not their motive. They feel cut off from the adult world into which they h
33、ave not yet been accepted. So they create a culture and society of their own. Then, if it turns out that their music or entertainers or vocabulary or clothes or hairstyles irritate their parents, this gives them additional enjoyment. They feel they are superior, at least in a small way, and that the
34、y are leaders in style and taste.Sometimes you are resistant and proud because you do not want your parents to approve of what you do. If they did approve, it looks as if you are betraying your own age group. But in that case, you are assuming that you are underdog(失败者) : you cant win but at least y
35、ou can keep your honor. This is a passive way of looking at things. It is natural enough after long years of childhood, when you were completely under your parents control. But it ignores the fact that you are now beginning to be responsible for yourself.If you plan to control your life, co-operatio
36、n can be part of that plan. You can charm others, especially your parents, into doing things the way you want. You can impress others with your sense of responsibility and initiative, so that they will give you the authority to do what you want to do.46 The author is primarily addressing_.（A）parents
37、 of teenagers（B） newspaper readers（C） teenagers（D）those who give advice to teenagers47 The first paragraph is mainly about_.（A）the teenagers criticism of their parents（B） misunderstandings between teenagers and their parents（C） the dominance of the parents over their children（D）the teenagers ability
38、 to deal with crises48 Teenagers tend to have strange clothes and hairstyles because they_.（A）want to irritate their parents（B） have a strong desire to be leaders in style and taste（C） have no other way to enjoy themselves better（D）want to show their existence by creating a culture of their own49 Te
39、enagers do not want their parents to approve of whatever they do because they_.（A）have a desire to be independent（B） feel that they are superior in a small way to the adults（C） are not likely to win over the adults（D）have already been accepted into the adult world50 To improve parent-child relations
40、hips, teenagers are advised to be_.（A）obedient（B） responsible（C） independent（D）co-operative50 In many countries, governments are trying to get citizens to eat more healthily. One way in which governments are trying to do this is by increasing taxes on foods that are unhealthy. For example, Denmark,
41、a country in Europe, taxes products that contain a lot of sugar, such as ice cream and chocolate. In 2011, the Danish government went one step further and introduced a tax on the fats contained in foods like butter and cheese. However, experts do not agree whether such taxes work.Some health experts
42、 have always disagreed with taxing fats. They say we need to consider each food separately and not simply worry about how much fat it contains. For the same reason, Danish dairy farmers felt that the government was wrong to say that the foods they produce are unhealthy.Cheese, for example, contains
43、a lot of fat, but it does not seem to lead to health problems in the way other kinds of fat do. Such critics believe that the government should instead try to make healthy foods, such as vegetables, cheaper.There have also been economic problems because of the tax. The Danish government thought that
44、 if the cost of fatty foods went up, people would not buy as much of them. However, some foods such as butter and cheese are an important part of the traditional Danish diet. Since these could not be bought in Denmark at reasonable prices, many Danish people began shopping in nearby countries. One s
45、tudy discovered that as many as 48 percent of Danish people were going to Germany or Sweden to do shopping, and the Danish economy lost about $1.8 billion because of this.For these reasons, the Danish government decided to get rid of the tax after only one year. However, many doctors say that one ye
46、ar is not long enough to know if the tax helped Danish citizens health. They claim that the Danish government is worried more about the economy than it is about the Danish people. But even though the tax did not work in Denmark, some countries have not given up on the idea. The United Kingdom and Fr
47、ance are thinking of trying similar taxes, and Hungary has already put a tax on fatty foods.51 What is one way governments are trying to make people healthier?（A）By promoting low-fat versions of many popular foods.（B） By forcing them to pay more for certain kinds of food.（C） By decreasing the amount
48、 of sugar allowed in products.（D）By creating laws concerning how much people are allowed to eat.52 Dairy farmers in Denmark_.（A）felt that they were being made to produce too many products（B） were worried that the government was planning to ban cheese（C） argued that their products are healthier than
49、the government said（D）admitted that their products contained an unhealthy amount of fat53 What was one result of taxing foods that have a lot of fat?（A）Many people avoided paying the tax by shopping abroad.（B） Many people began eating traditional Danish food.（C） It made healthy foods like fruit and vegetable cost m
