题目列表(包括答案和解析)
Starting the day on an egg could keep your blood pressure(血压) under control, research suggests．Scientists have shown that eggs produce proteins with a function similar to that of powerful blood pressure-lowering drugs．
The research, from the University of Alberta in Canada, showed that when eggs come in contact with stomach enzymes(酶) they produce a protein that acts in the same way as Ace inhibitors, but more work is needed to show the effects outside a lab and in the human body．
Earlier this month, British researchers declared that, contrary to popular beliefs, it is healthy to go to work on an egg．They concluded that the type of cholesterol (胆固醇) found in eggs has little effect on increasing heart disease risks．
Researcher Professor Bruce Griffin, from the University of Surrey, said:“The wrong beliefs linking egg eating to high blood cholesterol and heart disease must be corrected ．The amount of fat in our diet has an effect on blood cholesterol that is several times greater than the relatively small amounts of cholesterol found in eggs．The UK public do not need to be limiting the number of eggs they eat．They can be encouraged to include them in a healthy diet as they are one of nature’s most nutritious foods．”
The British Heart Foundation dropped its three-egg-a-week limit in 2005．However, almost half of Britons believe the limit still applies．
From the text we know that Ace inhibitors are ．
A．a kind of medicine B．a kind of protein
C．a kind of illness D．a kind of food
According to what Professor Brcue said, eggs ．
A．are the most nutritious food．
B．have no effect on blood cholesterol
C．can be included in a healthy diet
D．are forbidden to be eaten in the UK
We can infer from the text that ．
A．drugs to lower blood pressure will be replaced by eating eggs
B．stomach enzymes mixed with eggs can cure heart diseases
C．most Britons agree the three-egg-a-week limit should be dropped
D．about 50% of Britons think eating an egg a day is bad for their health
The text is meant ．
A．to introduce scientific findings about eggs
B．to introduce a medicine made from eggs
C．to tell people how to lower their blood pressure
D．to advise people to eat as many eggs as possible

When I was a child, my mom liked to prepare food for dinner, every now and then. And I remember one night in 41 when she made dinner after a long, hard day at work.
That Monday evening so long ago, my mom 42 a plate of eggs, sausage, and extremely burnt toast (土司) in front of my dad. I remember 43 to see if dad noticed! 44 all my dad did was reach for his toast, smile at my mom, and ask me how my day was 45 . I don’t remember what I told him that night, but I do remember watching him 46 butter and jelly (果冻) on that toast and eat every 47 !
When I got up from the 48 that evening, I remember hearing my mom 49 to my dad for burning the toast. And I’ll never forget what he said: “Baby, I love 50 toast.”
Later that night, I went to kiss Daddy goodnight and I asked him if he 51 liked his burnt toast. He 52 me in his arms and said, “Son, your mum put in a 53 day at work today and she’s very 54 . Besides, a little burnt toast never 55 anyone!”
Actually, life is full of imperfect things and imperfect people. We can’t be 56 at everything we do. What I’ve learned over the years is that learning to 57 each other’s faults and choosing to celebrate each other’s 58 is one of the most important keys to creating a healthy, growing, and lasting 59 .

One London company, UAS （Universal Automated Systems）has already developed machines that can be used as “home-helps” for old people unable to look after themselves and who are living on their own or in special homes. These machines can now do such things as cooking eggs and cleaning the floor, and the company says that future models still accept simple voice instructions（指令） and be controlled by a “brain” that is the equivalent（相当的）of the latest IBM microcomputer. The director of UAS, Mr. Henry Jeffries, believes that in the next five to ten years companies will have developed even more sophisticated（复杂的）robots for use in industry. By this time, it is likely that they will also have begun to sell new forms of these machines into ordinary homes. Robots could do a wide range of household tasks, such as preparing meals, washing dishes, cleaning the house and so on. By then, the price of such machines may have come down to as little as $1, 000.
But Dr. Sandra Lomax, who has done research into artificial intelligence （人工智能） at Sussex University and MIT （Massachusetts Intelligence of Technology）, believes we have a long way to go before we can develop truly intelligent machines.
“Preparing an omelet（煎蛋） may seem easy enough. But suppose one of the eggs has gone bad, even the most ‘intelligent’ robot would probably still use it. If something slightly unusual needs doing—something that requires even a little bit of ordinary human imagination, a robot is useless. They need programming for even the simplest of tasks and are not able to learn form experience. And teaching a robot how to recognize a bad egg is far more difficult than teaching it to prepare the omelet the egg goes into.” She says.

A. can teach languages and care for the patients in hospital
B. can help old people do certain jobs in the house
C. is controlled by microcomputer “brain”
D. can accept simple voice instructions
2.Dr. Sandra Lomax thinks that__________.
A. no robot will ever be able to prepare an omelet
B. a robot will soon be able to do unusual house work which people can't do
C. we can programme a robot to learn from experience
D. making an omelet is easier for a robot than recognizing a bad egg
