His parents separated when he was young, and he lived in many different places in the US, so he never felt like he had a regular home there. “I

34、 seems to make no difference when it comes to losing weight if you are eating the same number of calories.Alexandra Johnstone at the University of Aberdeen in the UK and her colleagues recruited 30 adults who were overweight or obese and had no other underlying health conditions. The researchers the

35、n provided participants with food and beverages for 10weeks.For the first week, the participants followed a weight maintenance(保持) diet,consuming 1.5 times the number of calories needed at their resting metabolic(新陈代谢的) rate. Calories were evenly distributed across three meals each day.For the follo

36、wing four weeks, participants were divided into two groups:14people ate 45 percent of their calories at breakfast, 35 percent at lunch and 20 percent at dinner. The other 16 ate 20 percent of their calories at breakfast, 35 percent at lunch and 45 percent at dinner. Both groups were restricted to th

37、e calories required at their resting metabolic rate, and had 35 percent of calories from fat,30 percent from protein and 35 percent from carbohydrates.After the four weeks, both groups followed the weight maintenance diet again for one week before switching to the opposite diet for the next four wee

38、ks. So, people on the big breakfast diet ate the big dinner diet and vice versa(反之亦然).The researchers found that there was little difference in how much weight participants lost when they ate more in the morning or the evening:people lost an average of 3.33 kilograms during the large breakfast diet

39、compared with an average of 3.38 kilograms during the large dinner diet. That suggests calories are metabolised the same regardless of when they are consumed, says Johnstone.One limitation of this study is its length, says Mindy Patterson at Texas Womans University. Previous research has found that

40、front-loading calories earlier in the day leads to significant differences in weight loss after five weeks, not four, she says.“Perhaps they should have gone a little bit longer in duration and then we would have seen that difference.”28. What do we know from the process of the research?A. All the p

41、articipants followed the same diet for 10 weeks.B. Participants ate the same number of calories across three meals each day.C. At first, participants ate more calories than what they need.D. During the first 4 weeks, all the participants ate big breakfast.29. What can we infer from the text?A. Calor

42、ies are burnt the same whenever they are consumed.B. People who have big breakfast lose weight easily.C. People consuming 1.5 times the number of calories lose weight easily.D. Calories from different sources are consumed differently.高三英语试题第6页(共12页)30. How does the writer tell us the result of the r

44、p;      D. Supportive.DScientists found statistical equality between boys'and girls' brains when it comes to learning math. Jessica Cantlon, author of the study and professor of developmental neuroscience(神经科学) at Carnegie Mellon University, told NPR that when it comes to lear

45、ning math, boys and girls are“indistinguishable.”Boys and girls experience learning math in the same way, the new study found,debunking the age-old thought that-males are superior to females in the subject.The study published Friday in the journal Science of Learning discovered that young boys and g

46、irls use the same networks in the brain to solve math problems.“While some have thought that boys are biologically likely to be better in math, there was little evidence to support those claims,”researchers said in the study. Some earlier studies have shown gender differences, but “it is impossible

47、to separate intrinsic(本质的), biological differences from sociocultural influences.”For the study published Friday, researchers analyzed 104 kids between 3 and 10years old while they performed some tests connected with mental processes of understanding and watched videos of math lessons in an MRI scan

48、ner. In a first for such a study, scientists used neuroimaging(神经成像) to capture images of kidsbrains to evaluate the differences between males and females.Testing revealed that girls'and boys'brains function similarly during mathematical processing. “Additionally, there was no evidence of ge

49、nder differences in neural responses to mathematics content, neural responses during educational video viewing,or rates of neural development for mathematical processing in early childhood.”Furthermore, scientists“found statistical equality between boys and girls throughout the brain.”This led the r

50、esearchers to conclude that“gender differences in the field of science in adults don't develop from intrinsic differences in children's brains but likely from a complex environmental origin.”32. What does the underlined word “debunking”mean in paragraph 2?A. Spreading.       &

52、differences are likely influenced by socio-culture.B. Boys and girls solve math problems in exactly the same way.C. Evidence was found that boys are biologically better in math.D. Earlier studies have enough evidence to prove the gender differences.34. What's the result of the tests among the 10

53、4 kids?A. Girls' and boys' brains are different in Math.B. The kids like watching videos of math lessons.C. The MRI scanner is helpful to evaluate the differences.D. There are no gender differences in learning Math.35. Which is the most suitable title for the text?A. Boys and Girls Are Equal
