20、h a single bar across the square brackets on your machine-scoring ANSWER SHEET._Researchers analysed the diet of 16, 000 people in 52 countries and identified three global eating patterns. The typical Western diet, high in fat, salt and meat, accounted for about 30% of heart attack risk in any popul

21、ation. A “prudent“ diet high in fruit and vegetables lowered heart risk by a third. An Oriental diet, high in torn, soy and other sauces, made no difference to heart attack risk. People who ate a Western diet had a 35% greater risk of having a heart attack than those who ate little or no fried. The

22、typical Western diet has been widely linked to heart disease. High salt in the diet can raise blood pressure and the wrong type of fat can clog(阻塞)blood vessels. Ellen Mason, a cardiac nurse for the British Heart Foundation, said: “This study shows that it doesnt matter whether you live in Bolton or

23、 Bombay, or whether you like to eat British, African Caribbean or Asian foods.

But when Moko arrived at Mahia beach on the east coast of New Zealands North Island, their mood changed and they followed him to safety. The ability

27、 of some animals to communicate is well known. Whats less well documented, however, is the communication between species. Justin Gregg, vice president of the Dolphin Communication Project, said it is possible that a dolphin and a whale could communicate in some way. “But it wouldnt be instructions l

28、ike Hey, buddy, the open ocean is over here. Follow me,“ he says. Dolphins use three forms of signaling to other dolphinswhistles, clicking and postures. A whale might have signals in common with a dolphin, just as different species of dolphins are known to share signals which might theoretically al

29、low a form of basic inter-species communication. But just as its possible that Moko the dolphin and the stranded whales shared a signal, it is also possible that the whales just saw a vaguely similar creature and followed it. There are many reasons why different species communicate, says Vincent Jan

30、ik, lecturer at the Sea Mammal Research Unit at St Andrews University. “The animals exploit the systems of others for their own benefits. Sometimes the benefits are the same for each, therefore they share information. Sometimes they are trying to take advantage of the other. Getting food may not be

34、anotherC.they recognized some other animals not far awayD.they shared those inter-species signals with the dolphin(5).Why do animals of different species communicate with one another?（分数：2.00）A.Because they like to set up their own communication systems.B.Because they want to take advantage of the o

35、ther species.C.Because they tend to keep more food to themselves.D.Because they benefit from using the information from other species.Competition breeds excellence. Ask anyone who pays attention to the car industry and they will tell you that the family-sedan segment is just brutal, with manufacture

36、rs fighting tooth and nail over every sale. In fact, that market has become more competitive in recent years. It used to just be the Camry and the Accord fighting for supremacy, but now you have new(Hyundai)and old(Ford)competitors, among others, joining the fight, with interesting, well-made, compe

37、lling products. Its a great time to be shopping for a new family sedan. Compare that with the state of the tablet market today. Hewlett-Packard is in retreat.

38、it trails Apples market share by 50 percentage points. Apple is not just ahead of the pack, it almost is the pack.

39、at, Apple, Google, Microsoft, and H. P. , locked in an epic battle for tablet supremacy, are each releasing new and better products at a furious pace, and each dropping prices substantially at a steady clip. Apple is driving innovation and creativity with each upgrade of the iPad it releases. But th

40、is isnt about whether you prefer Apple or Android for your tablet. This isnt about picking sides. As a consumer, I want there to be robust competition across the board. I want Coke and Pepsi, Target and Wal-Mart, Engadget and Gizmodo. If youre a fan of Apple, you want there to be a worthy rival push

41、 it, to keep its feet to the fire. If you dont like Apple, you want someone else in the game so that Apple doesnt suck all the air out of the room. And you want Apple to do the same pushing and foot scorching to its competitor that another company would do to it.（分数：12.00）(1).The phrase “fighting to

My best answer is that books produce knowledge by encasing it. Books take ideas and set them down, transforming them through the limitations of space into thinking usable by others. In 1959, C. P. Snow threw down the challenge of “two cultures“ , the scientific and the humanistic, pursuing their separate, unconnected lives within developed societies. In the new-media ecology of the 21st cen
