Is there any U U 2 /U /Uin his advice? First, is there any U U 3 /U /Uthat people who eat chocolate are more likely to have acne?

Millions of U U 7 /U /Uliving on our skin can cause a spot. Is there a process by which chocolate could U U 8 /U /Uache? One theory is that since chocolate is f

Another is that large quantities of chocolate could U U 9 /U /Uthe levels of some U U 10 /U /U, leading to an increase in sebum production.One of the two studies looking at chocolate found the quantity of chocolate and U U 11 /U /Unuts made no

But U U 13 /U /Ustudies meant that any U U 14 /U /Ubetween food and acne was at best U U 15 /U /U. Then came the finding that

5、 no one in U U 16 /U /Upopulations in New Guinea and Paraguay had acne. Diet was back on the U U 17 /U /U. If diet makes a difference, then which kinds of foods have the biggest U U 18 /U /Uon acne? Are they fat and sugar? The fact is that regardless of what people U U 19 /U /U, their acne gets bett

7、e gases from the air. Carbon dioxide has a U U 2 /U /Ueffect on the Earths temperature. Since the industrial revolution, humans have been burning U U 3 /U /Uamounts of fossil fuels, releasing large amounts of carbon dioxide. The gas is changing the climate, warming the U U 4 /U /Ufor plants and anim

Hence, we have the idea of finding ways of U U 6 /U /Ucarbon dioxide.In recent years there have been U U 7 /U /Uto remove the carbon dioxide from its U U 8 /U /Uin power

9、plants. U U 9 /U /Uhave been fitted to the U U 10 /U /U, so the carbon dioxide produced during fuel burning can be removed from the U U 11 /U /Uemissions. The carbon dioxide can be cooled and pumped for U U 12 /U /Uin underground rock chambers, which is a useful way of preventing carbon dioxide from

10、 entering the U U 13 /U /U. But what about the U U 14 /U /Uthat is already out there? The problem with removing carbon dioxide from the atmosphere is that its U U 15 /U /Uat such a U U 16 /U /Uconcentration. Removing the gas takes lots of energy. Though it is expensive, its U U 17 /U /U. Extracting

11、the U U 18 /U /Uof carbon dioxide in the atmosphere would require enormous volumes of U U 19 /U /Uto be processed.

17、 their acne gets better when they leave their U U 20 /U /U. （分数：50.00）填空项 1:_ （正确答案：teenagers）解析：听力原文 There are lots of claims and theories regarding the ill effects of ache on our skin, but a recent study unwraps the sweet truth about our guiltiest pleasure. When teenagers have spots, someone will

18、tell them to eat less chocolate. Whether theres any truth in this involves asking two questions: first, is there any evidence that people who eat chocolate are more likely to have acne; and second, is there a process by which ingesting chocolate could cause spots? Spots occur when skin pores become

19、blocked with sebum. If the pore is partially blocked you get a blackhead. If its fully blocked you get a whitehead. All of us have millions of harmless bacteria living on our skin, and these can infect a blocked pore, causing a spot. If you get a lot of spots it is known as acne. If both your parent

20、s had acne when they were teenagers then you are more likely to have it too. The reason that adolescents are particularly prone to spots is that sebum-producing glands are highly sensitive to hormones. Acne usually reduces by the time you become an adult, but a small percentage of people find it per

21、sists. But back to the question, is there a process by which chocolate could exacerbate acne? There are several theories. One is that since chocolate is fatty it could in theory lead to the production of more sebum, and therefore more blocked pores. Another is that large quantities of chocolate coul

22、d raise insulin levels in the bloodstream, altering the levels of some hormones, leading to an increase in sebum production. There were two studies looking at chocolate. One study found that the quantity of chocolate, milk and roasted nuts university students ate made no difference to the severity o

23、f acne. In 1969, a placebo-controlled study conducted in patients visiting an ache clinic and men in prison also found chocolate made no difference to acne. Now you might be wondering what a chocolate placebo looks like, and where you can get one. The participants were given chocolate bars with the

24、same fat and sugar content as ordinary chocolate, but with lower levels of cocoa. So this study only tells us that cocoa makes no difference to ache, it tells us little if not nothing about fat and sugar. Whats more, the prisoners and patients only ate chocolate for four weeks. Medication for acne u

25、sually takes two or more months before an improvement is seen, so this might not have been long enough to show chocolates effect on the skin. So we cant yet pin the blame on chocolate, but how about diet in general? A study from back in 1956 on more than two thousand British soldiers suggested a pos

26、sible link with diet; it found that 20-to-40-year-old soldiers with ache were likely to weigh more than teenage soldiers without. But for many years inconclusive studies meant that any link between food and acne was at best unproven, and at worse a myth. Then in 2002 came the intriguing finding that

27、 no one in non-westernised populations in New Guinea and Paraguay had acne. Suddenly diet was back on the agenda. Of course there is the possibility it is genetics that is protecting these populations from acne, but if diet does make a difference, then we need to know which kinds of foods in industr

28、ialized countries are having the biggest impact on acne. Is it the amount of fat consumed that matters, or sugar, or as some have suggested, the speed at which the sugar breaks down? The fact is that regardless of what people eat, their acne usually gets better when they leave their teens. So if we

29、are ever to discover the answer, what we need are well-designed prospective studies. And that means tracking people across many months or even years while assessing their chocolate consumption and the severity of their ache.填空项 1:_ （正确答案：truth）解析：填空项 1:_ （正确答案：evidence）解析：填空项 1:_ （正确答案：process）解析：填空

Could super-absorbent fake leaves be the answer? It may be a colorless,

37、odorless and completely natural gas, but carbon dioxide is beginning to cause us a lot of problems. It only makes up a tiny fraction of the atmosphere, 0.04% of all the gas by volume, but it has a huge effect on the Earths temperature. Thats because unlike nitrogen or oxygen, carbon dioxide molecule

38、s absorb the suns heat rays even though they let light rays pass through, like a greenhouse. Scientists are looking at ways to modulate the global temperature by removing some of this greenhouse gas from the air. If it works, it would be one of the few ways of geo-engineering the planet with multipl

39、e benefits, beyond simply cooling the atmosphere. Every time we breathe out, we emit carbon dioxide just like all other metabolic life forms. Meanwhile, photosynthetic organisms like plants and algae take in carbon dioxide and emit oxygen. This balance has kept the planet at a comfortably warm avera

40、ge temperature of 14, compared with a chilly -18 if there were no carbon dioxide in the atmosphere. In the Anthropocene (the Age of Man), we have shifted this balance by releasing more carbon dioxide than plants can absorb. Since the industrial revolution, humans have been burning increasing amounts

41、 of fossil fuels, releasing stored carbon from millions of years ago. Eventually the atmosphere will reach a new balance at a hotter temperature as a result of the additional carbon dioxide, but getting there is going to be difficult. The carbon dioxide we are releasing is changing the climate, the

42、wind and precipitation patterns, acidifying the oceans, warming the habitats for plants and animals, melting glaciers and ice sheets, increasing the frequency of wildfires and raising sea levels. And we are doing this at such a rapid pace that animals and plants may not have time to evolve to the new conditions. Humans wo
