READING PASSAGE 1

You should spend about 20 minutes on Questions 1–13, which are based on Reading Passage 1 below.

MAKING TIME FOR SCIENCE

 Chronobiology might sound a little futuristic – like something from a science fiction novel, perhaps – but it’s actually a field of study that concerns one of the oldest processes life on this planet has ever known: short-term rhythms of time and their effect on flora and fauna.

This can take many forms. Marine life, for example, is influenced by tidal patterns. Animals tend to be active or inactive depending on the position of the sun or moon. Numerous creatures, humans included, are largely diurnal – that is, they like to come out during the hours of sunlight. Nocturnal animals, such as bats and possums, prefer to forage by night. A third group are known as crepuscular: they thrive in the low-light of dawn and dusk and remain inactive at other hours.

When it comes to humans, chronobiologists are interested in what is known as the circadian rhythm. This is the complete cycle our bodies are naturally geared to undergo within the passage of a twenty-four hour day. Aside from sleeping at night and waking during the day, each cycle involves many other factors such as changes in blood pressure and body temperature. Not everyone has an identical circadian rhythm. ‘Night people’, for example, often describe how they find it very hard to operate during the morning, but become alert and focused by evening. This is a benign variation within circadian rhythms known as a chronotype.

Scientists have limited abilities to create durable modifications of chronobiological demands. Recent therapeutic developments for humans such as artificial light machines and melatonin administration can reset our circadian rhythms, for example, but our bodies can tell the difference and health suffers when we breach these natural rhythms for extended periods of time. Plants appear no more malleable in this respect; studies demonstrate that vegetables grown in season and ripened on the tree are far higher in essential nutrients than those grown in greenhouses and ripened by laser.

Knowledge of chronobiological patterns can have many pragmatic implications for our day-to-day lives. While contemporary living can sometimes appear to subjugate biology – after all, who needs circadian rhythms when we have caffeine pills, energy drinks, shift work and cities that never sleep? – keeping in synch with our body clock is important.

The average urban resident, for example, rouses at the eye-blearing time of 6.04 a.m., which researchers believe to be far too early. One study found that even rising at 7.00 a.m. has deleterious effects on health unless exercise is performed for 30 minutes afterward. The optimum moment has been whittled down to 7.22 a.m.; muscle aches, headaches and moodiness were reported to be lowest by participants in the study who awoke then.

Once you’re up and ready to go, what then? If you’re trying to shed some extra pounds, dieticians are adamant: never skip breakfast. This disorients your circadian rhythm and puts your body in starvation mode. The recommended course of action is to follow an intense workout with a carbohydrate-rich breakfast; the other way round and weight loss results are not as pronounced.

Morning is also great for breaking out the vitamins. Supplement absorption by the body is not temporal-dependent, but naturopath Pam Stone notes that the extra boost at breakfast helps us get energised for the day ahead. For improved absorption, Stone suggests pairing supplements with a food in which they are soluble and steering clear of caffeinated beverages. Finally, Stone warns to take care with storage; high potency is best for absorption, and warmth and humidity are known to deplete the potency of a supplement.

After-dinner espressos are becoming more of a tradition – we have the Italians to thank for that – but to prepare for a good night’s sleep we are better off putting the brakes on caffeine consumption as early as 3 p.m. With a seven hour half-life, a cup of coffee containing 90 mg of caffeine taken at this hour could still leave 45 mg of caffeine in your nervous system at ten o’clock that evening. It is essential that, by the time you are ready to sleep, your body is rid of all traces.

Evenings are important for winding down before sleep; however, dietician Geraldine Georgeou warns that an after-five carbohydrate-fast is more cultural myth than chronobiological demand. This will deprive your body of vital energy needs. Overloading your gut could lead to indigestion, though. Our digestive tracts do not shut down for the night entirely, but their work slows to a crawl as our bodies prepare for sleep. Consuming a modest snack should be entirely sufficient.

ANSWERS

1. FALSE：答案見(jiàn)原文第1段：but it’s actually a field of study that concerns one of the oldest processes life on this planet has ever known: short-term rhythms of time and their effect on flora and fauna. 而題目中是說(shuō)Chronobiology是研究生物如何進(jìn)化的，與原文表述不符。

2. TRUE：見(jiàn)原文第2段Marine life, for example, is influenced by tidal patterns.這句話是說(shuō)海洋生活受潮漲潮落影響。題目中的The rise and fall of sea levels= tidal patterns，sea creatures海洋生物包含在Marine life中，而且下文也提到Animals怎樣受到了影響。

3. NOT GIVEN：題目是說(shuō)多數(shù)動(dòng)物在白天活躍，而原文中低2段是說(shuō)有的動(dòng)物白天活動(dòng)，有的動(dòng)物夜間活動(dòng)，并沒(méi)有說(shuō)多數(shù)動(dòng)物都是白天活動(dòng)。

4. FALSE：見(jiàn)原文第3段This is the complete cycle our bodies are naturally geared to undergo within the passage of a twenty-four hour day.原文是說(shuō)Circadian rhythms（生理規(guī)律）是人們身體在一天24小時(shí)內(nèi)的自然運(yùn)行規(guī)律，并不能識(shí)別人們?cè)诓煌娜掌谌绾巫霾煌氖虑椤?/p>

5. TRUE：見(jiàn)原文第3段最后1句話This is a benign variation within circadian rhythms known as a chronotype.是說(shuō)‘night person’是人體生理規(guī)律一種良性變異，所以是healthy的。

6. FALSE：見(jiàn)原文第4段Recent therapeutic developments for humans such as artificial light machines and melatonin administration can reset our circadian rhythms, for example, but our bodies can tell the difference and health suffers when we breach these natural rhythms for extended periods of time.原文是說(shuō)therapeutic developments可改變circadian rhythms，但是如果長(zhǎng)期破壞自然規(guī)律，我們的身體會(huì)發(fā)生差異并遭遇健康問(wèn)題。而題目是說(shuō)新的治療方法可以持久改變生理規(guī)律而不會(huì)造成傷害，所以是錯(cuò)誤的。

7. TRUE：見(jiàn)原文第4段最后一句話studies demonstrate that vegetables grown in season and ripened on the tree are far higher in essential nutrients than those grown in greenhouses and ripened by laser.是說(shuō)研究表明，按季節(jié)生長(zhǎng)并自然成熟的蔬菜的基本的營(yíng)養(yǎng)要高于在溫室中生產(chǎn)并催熟的蔬菜，所以，題目中說(shuō)自然生長(zhǎng)的蔬菜具有更高的營(yíng)養(yǎng)價(jià)值是正確的。

B 10 p.m.

C only when feeling anxious

D after dinner

12 In the evening, we should

A stay away from carbohydrates

B stop exercising

C eat as much as possible

D eat a light meal

13 Which of the following phrases best describes the main aim of Reading Passage

1?

A to suggest healthier ways of eating, sleeping and exercising

B to describe how modern life has made chronobiology largely irrelevant

C to introduce chronobiology and describe some practical applications

D to plan a daily schedule that can alter our natural chronobiological rhythms

ANSWERS

8. C：見(jiàn)原文第6段The optimum moment has been whittled down to 7.22 a.m.最佳的叫醒時(shí)間是在7.22 a.m，后面描述了原因。

9. C：見(jiàn)原文第7段The recommended course of action is to follow an intense workout with a carbohydrate-rich breakfast; the other way round and weight loss results are not as pronounced.是說(shuō)建議早餐前進(jìn)行鍛煉，不提倡其他的方式或減肥，文中提倡吃早餐（never skip breakfast）。所以題目A選項(xiàng)中的不吃早餐、B選項(xiàng)中吃低碳水化合物的早餐本身是不正確的描述

10. B：見(jiàn)原文倒數(shù)第3段For improved absorption, Stone suggests pairing supplements with a food in which they are soluble and steering clear of caffeinated beverages. Finally, Stone warns to take care with storage; high potency is best for absorption, and warmth and humidity are known to deplete the potency of a supplement.所以improve supplement absorption的方式中，B項(xiàng)是沒(méi)有提到的。

11. A：見(jiàn)原文倒數(shù)第2段but to prepare for a good night’s sleep we are better off putting the brakes on caffeine consumption as early as 3 p.m.原文中putting the brakes on是說(shuō)停止，所以停止喝咖啡的最佳時(shí)間是下午3點(diǎn)，也就是mid-afternoon。

12. D：見(jiàn)原文最后一段an after-five carbohydrate-fast is more cultural myth than chronobiological demand. Overloading your gut could lead to indigestion, though. Consuming a modest snack should be entirely sufficient.是說(shuō)不要過(guò)度攝入碳水化合物，會(huì)導(dǎo)致消化不良，適量的小吃就足夠了。所以，題目中A（遠(yuǎn)離碳水化合物）、B、C均為錯(cuò)誤選項(xiàng)。

13. C：文章的寫(xiě)作目的首先是介紹chronobiology，并描述了人們應(yīng)該如何遵循生理規(guī)律，即一些實(shí)際的操作。所以C選項(xiàng)為最為貼切的答案。
