Some obese children and adults who eat excessively (过度地) may be missing a gene for a brain chemical involved in controlling appetite,according to a study.Low levels of the chemical are also linked to long-term memory loss and difficulties in sensing pain.
Researchers at the National Institutes of Health examined 33 children and adults with a rare condition in which groups of genes have been deleted.Called WAGR syndrome,the genetic aberration(反常现象) is found in about 250 people in the USA.
Half of the people studied lacked one of two genes for a brain chemical called brain-derived neurotropic factor(BDNF).The ones missing the gene had low blood levels of the chemical.By age 10,all of those missing the gene were obese and reported a strong tendency to overeat.Those who had two working copies of the BDNF gene were no more likely to be obese in childhood or to report unusually high levels of overeating than the general population.
Scientists suspected that people within the group had abnormalities with the gene,and they believe a larger segment(部分) of the population has the same problem.
The missing gene may explain why some people can't seem to control their eating or lose weight,says Jack Yanovski,head of the Unit on Growth and Obesity at NIH's Eunice Kennedy Shriver National Institute of Child Health and Human Development.
“We suspect that BDNF has important issues in many parts of the brain,including memory and ability to sense pain,”he says.
Yanovski says the brain chemical works in combination with other chemicals in the body,including the hormone leptin(瘦蛋白),to regulate appetite and body weight.More research needs to be done so scientists can develop obesity drugs to treat people who don't make enough BDNF,he says.
“BDNF is just a small part of the puzzle explaining why some folks have trouble maintaining a normal weight.”
语篇解读:本文主要介绍了某种控制大脑生成化合物进而可以控制人们的食欲的基因,研究表明它的缺失造成了人们对食欲无法控制,从而引发了肥胖问题。
1.According to the passage,the role of the BDNF gene is to ________.
A.improve people's ability of memory
B.control people's desire to eat
C.make people become sensitive to pain
D.help people lose weight quickly
解析:细节判断题。根据第一段第一句话中的“Some obese children and adults who eat excessively may be missing a gene for a brain chemical involved in controlling appetite”可知,一些人吃得过多是因为缺失一种基因,该基因控制是否在大脑中生成控制食欲的化合物。因此选B。
答案:B
2.Scientists study BDNF in order to ________.
A.make medicine to cure overweight people
B.explain why people have the sense of hunger
C.keep people from suffering from high blood pressure
D.control the activity of brains of overweight people
解析:细节判断题。根据倒数第二段中的“so scientists can develop obesity drugs to treat people who don't make enough BDNF”可知,科学家们研究这种物质的目的是开发一些药物来解决人们的肥胖问题。故答案是A。
答案:A
3.BDNF is a kind of chemical which lies in the ________.
A.blood B.hormone
C.brain D.diet
解析:细节判断题。根据第三段中的“lacked one of two genes for a brain chemical called brain-derived neurotrophic factor(BDNF)”可知,这种化学物质存在于大脑中,故选C。
答案:C
4.The underlined word “deleted” in Paragraph 2 may mean “________”.
A.discovered B.identified
C.classified D.removed
解析:词义猜测题。根据第三段中的“lacked one of two genes for a brain chemical”可知,这里的deleted表示基因的删除,即基因的缺失。故答案是D。
答案:D
5.What's the main idea of this passage?
A.Missing genes may hurt appetite control.
B.Overweight people eat too much junk food.
C.Your weight is decided by your genes.
D.One's appetite leads to one's weight.
解析:主旨大意题.本文主要介绍了某种控制大脑生成化合物进而可以控制人们的食欲的基因,研究表明它的缺失造成了人们对食欲无法控制,从而引发了肥胖问题。故答案是A。
答案:A
Ⅳ.任务型阅读(陕西专用)

C.Tax policy stimulating renewable energy
D.Creative efforts for the general objective
E.Development and prospect of new energy
F.Increasing sales of none-gasoline vehicles
1.
Like the U.S.,Sweden is addicted to oil.Unlike the U.S.,it has a plan to kick the habit-and a deadline.By 2020,the country will no longer be dependent on fossil fuels;no home will need oil for heating,and no motorist will be obliged to use petrol as the only option available.
2.
Can Sweden do it? Probably.Back in 1970,before the fast Middle Fast energy crisis,Sweden got 77% of its energy from oil.By 2003,even though industrial production had risen dramatically,that figure had dropped to 34%.Part of the country's impressive record comes as the result of its rich natural resources.The Sweden have access to large amounts of hydropower,large amounts of biomass and good conditions for increased use of wind power.
3.
But that's not the only reason Sweden was rated the world's second greenest nation (just behind New Zealand) in a study issued at the World Economic Forum in Davos,Switzerland.Sweden's leaders have passed laws that would be unthinkable for a U.S.politician—taxes on fuel and CO2emissions to urge car owners to trade in their cars for hybrids(混合动力汽车),for example,and tax exemptions(免税)for home owners who switch from oil heating to renewable energy.Indeed,while Americans are likely to complain about higher taxes,Swedes seem to embrace the idea of helping save the planet.
4.
Take,for example,Sweden's nationwide rush to change cars from gasoline to fuels made from plant waste.Stations that sell alternative fuels are springing up all over the country,and fully 13% of new autos sold in February,the most recent month for which figures are available,can run on low-emission substances.
5.
What Americans might appreciate is the way local governments are encouraged to come up with their own strategies for meeting the national goals.For example,in Helsingborg,a coastal city of 121,000 people,buses run on biogas made from garbage and other organic waste from households and nearby farms.Some of these are small efforts,to be sure,but when an entire nation embraces a pledge to wean itself from oil,there's no reason it can't be done.
