In Britain, it's bottoms up from the week before Christmas till the last firework explodes in the sky announcing the new year. The last Friday before Christmas popularly known as “Mad Friday” — is one of the busiest periods for the country's pubs and clubs.

But it's not just the bars that get busy. Ambulances and A&E departments around Britain get packed out too. Head injuries, cuts, falls ... it's easy to end up hurting yourself or others when self-control disappear and your head is spinning due to alcohol. Revelers (纵酒狂欢的人) have been warned by the health authorities about the dangers of deadly drinking but drinking crazily seems to be part of the festivities for some.

The charity Alcohol Concern is running a campaign of restriction by encouraging people to have a dry January.

Jackie Ballard, the charity's Chief Executive, believes the campaign has been successful in recent years. She says, “More than two-thirds of people even six months later are drinking at reduced levels having had a month off drink. But also a study has shown the impact it has on people's health reducing their blood pressure and blood sugar levels.”

The study by the University of Sussex followed up nearly 900 participants in Alcohol Concern's Dry January campaign and found out that 72% of them had kept harmful drinking sessions down and 4% were still not drinking.

Moderation (适度) seems to be the key to everything. The official recommendation for women is not to regularly drink more than 2 to 3 units of alcohol a day. The limit for men is 3 to 4 units of alcohol — no more than a pint of 5.2% ABV lager, beer or cider.

错误!

29．The last Friday before Christmas is called “Mad Friday” because ________.

A．people stay up too late B．people go out and drink a lot C．firework explodes in the sky D．people go shopping madly

解析：选B 推理判断题。根据第一段最后一句“The last Friday before Christmas popularly known as ‘Mad Friday’ — is one of the busiest periods for the country's pubs and clubs.”可推知，人们在“Mad Friday”这天都要出去饮酒狂欢。故B项正确。

30．What is the second paragraph mainly about? A．The atmosphere of the bars. B．The effect of drinking too much. C．The customs of the festivities.

D．The importance of the health authorities.

解析：选B 段落大意题。根据第二段可知，这个时候不仅酒吧忙，救护车和医院的急诊室也很忙。由于大量饮酒，人们会失去自我控制，从而造成许多伤害。由此可知，该段主要介绍过度饮酒带来的不良影响。故B项正确。

31．The result of dry January campaign is that ________. A．many people stop drinking B．people drink more than before C．people can improve their health D．people's blood pressure increases

解析：选C 细节理解题。根据第四、五段可知，该项活动的开展使人们的饮酒量减少，甚至不再饮酒，因此改善了健康方面的问题，如降低血压和血糖水平等。故C项正确。

32．What is the official suggestion of drinking alcohol? A．Women shouldn't drink any alcohol. B．People should stay away from alcohol.

C．Men may drink 3 to 4 units of alcohol at least. D．Moderate alcohol drinking can be accepted.

We all say it. When we think someone is smart, we say they have a big brain. But are there any facts to prove that statement?

Yes! In a new study done by Michael McDaniel, a psychologist at Virginia

Commonwealth University, bigger does mean smarter. “For all ages and sex groups，”he says, “it is now very clear that intelligence (智力) has something to do with brain volume (容量)．”

McDaniel reached his conclusion after measuring (测量) the size and volume of 26 brains with the help of some instruments. He then used standard IQ tests to measure the intelligence of the owners of these brains.

But do IQ tests really reveal intelligence? McDaniel believes that they do, and there are other studies to back_up that point of view.

One study last year found that IQ is related to (与……相关) the amount and distribution (分布) of gray matter in the brain. The study showed that the amount of gray matter in certain places was strongly related to high IQ. The distribution of gray matter in the brain, which is different for different people, could explain why one person with a high IQ is good at math but poor at spelling, while someone else with the same IQ has just the opposite ability.

Yet another recent study found that women have more gray matter (compared with white matter) than men! However, the study also showed that in the areas of the brain specifically related to intelligence, men had much more gray matter, which is needed for some tasks, such as doing a math problem. Women, on the other hand, had much more white matter, which is necessary for collecting information. The point is, intelligence can be influenced in different ways.

“On average，” McDaniel says, “smarter people learn more quickly, make fewer mistakes, and are more productive.” He believes in the use of IQ tests to examine those who want to find a job. So, be well, do good work, and ... exercise that brain!

语篇解读：本文是说明文。研究表明智力与脑容量大小有关。 33．What does Michael McDaniel's new study prove? A．Women have more white matter than men.

B．The bigger the brain is, the cleverer the person is. C．IQ has nothing to do with the amount of gray matter. D．The brain is filled with large amounts of gray matter.

解析：选B 细节理解题。根据第二段“In a new study done by Michael McDaniel ... bigger does mean smarter.”可知。

34．The underlined phrase “back up” in Paragraph 4 means “________”． A．express C．change

B．share D．support

解析：选D 词义猜测题。第五、六段的研究结果证实并支持了McDaniel的观点。 35．What can we learn from the text? A．Men are smarter than women.

B．Age has an influence on one's intelligence. C．McDaniel suggests people do more IQ tests.

D．People with the same IQ may have different abilities.

解析：选D 推理判断题。从文章第五段最后一句可知人脑内灰质的分布不同，这解释了为什么IQ相同的人拥有不同的能力。
