In fact, researchers have provided plenty of evidence that people are born with tendencies to be lighter or heavier. For example, studies of identical twins have revealed great similarity in their overall weight. Part of this similarity may be explained by the finding that some people are born to burn a lot of calories just through ordinary day-to-day activities while others are not. Those who are not are more at risk for weight gain.Researchers have discovered some of the actual genetic mechanisms(机制) that may make some individuals more likely to be obese(肥胖的). For example, a gene has been found that appears to control signals to the brain that enough fat has been stored in the body in the course of a meal--so the individual should stop eating. The gene influences the production of leptin (瘦蛋白), which keeps appetite under control. If leptin doesn't work well, it is likely that individuals will continue to eat. Thus the gene that controls leptin appears to have a critical influence on the potential for obesity.The confirmation that leptin plays a role in weight control has encouraged researchers to identify and understand other weight-related genes. Recent attention has focused on a gene called GAD2.which helps control the amount of the neurotransmitter GABA. In general, when more GABA is available, appetite is increased. For that reason , people who have a form of GAD2 that allows more GABA to be available may be at risk for overeating. You can see that GAD2 is not directly an obesity gene. Rather it has an indirect influence on obesity through its direct influence on GABA.Genetic research holds out the promise of innovative solutions to obesity. Researchers hope that an understanding of the link between genus and weight control will enable them to provide new drug treatments. Nonetheless, even the most optimistic researchers provide a warning: innovative drugs will be effective only when they are used along with lifestyle changes. 1. What does the author want to explain by giving the example of twins? A. It is hard to maintain a healthy weight. B. Being fat or thin is genetically related C. The twins are usually of similar weight. D. An individual's body can burn calorie. 2. What can make an individual more likely to put on weight? A. Poor appetite. B. All varieties of GAD2. C. Effective leptin. D. Extra amount of GABA. 3. What do researchers suggest people do? A. Adopt advanced means. B. Learn more about genetic effects C. Keep good living habits. D. Change the weight-related gene. 4. What is the text mainly about? A. How does genetics contribute to obesity? B. What impact does eating have on weight? C. How many genus determine who is obese? D. Why do many people become overweight? 六、七选五。（建议用时: 7分钟） We know that too much of the wrong kind of food can be bad for our health, but for some people having a food allergy(过敏)means that eating certain things can actually be harmful. Such cases may seem uncommon.1.__________ An allergy is caused by the immune system fighting substances(物质)in the environment. 2._________ It means that people have to follow strict dietary restrictions , otherwise their lives may be put at risk. Allergy specialist Dr, Adam Fox says, “If you look back over, say, 30 or 40 years,there are much more serious allergic problems around now than there were.” 3.._________Last year a teenager died after suffering an allergic reaction from eating a piece of bread containing peanuts. Research has found that this problem is particularly affecting children. 4._________Dr.Alexandra Santos from King's College London says, " Food allergy now affects about 7% of children in the UK and 9% of those in Australia, for example. Across Europe, 2% of adults have food allergies. So what might be the cause? Dr. Santos says, the increase in allergies is not simply the effect of society becoming more aware of them and better at diagnosing( 诊断)them. 5._________She adds that possible factors are pollution, dietary changes and less exposure to bacteria, which change how our immune systems respond. She points out that it's very common for migrants who move to another country to develop food allergies in their new location. A. It seems to be more environmental. B.A food allergy can affect you at any age. C. Food allergies can cause life-threatening reactions. D. Yet in fact, food allergies are affecting more and more of us. E.
