36、CKS.BThose extra pounds should be avoided at all costs, right? Actually, while being overweight isn't generally good for our health, not all fat is created equal some may even be beneficial.There are two major kinds of body fat. White fat, the most abundant type, is what you feel when you squeez

37、e your midsection. Brown fat, found mainly in the neck region, burns energy rather than storing it the way white fat does. Brown fat may also help avoid diabetes. According to a study in Cell Metabolism, individuals with higher amounts of brown fat had smaller changes in blood sugar and thus a reduc

38、ed risk of developing diabetes. Infants have high levels of brown fat, which helps regulate their body temperature. Sadly, we lose it as we age, and adults have only small amounts.Adults can increase brown fat by exposing themselves to cold temperatures. In a recent study, people who slept in a mild

39、ly cold room(about 66 degrees F) increased the amount and activity of their brown fat by up to 40 percent. Sleeping in mild warmth(81 degrees F), however, decreased their amount of brown fat. Cold showers don't seem to affect it.Brown fat does have its drawbacks. Radiologists don't like it,

40、because the heat it causes makes it harder for body scans to detect activities in patients. Although there's no firm evidence that any specific foods or nutrients can activate brown fat, radiologists routinely recommend that patients eat a high - fat, low- carb diet before scans on the grounds t

41、hat this reduces brown fat activation.Just as brown fat isn't perfect, neither is white fat all bad. Even though people tend to hate it, white fat delivers important health benefits. It protects our vital organs, helps keep us warm, and stores calories for later use, keeping us from starving whe

42、n food is scarce.White fat can sometimes be turned into brown it's then called beige or brite ( “ brown in white” ) fat.Like brown fat, beige fat burns energy and can thus help fight against obesity. Scientists are still trying to figure out how the change happens; one study points to a hormone

43、called irisin, which our muscles produce when we exercise.Fat cells' sensitivity to temperature changes means there's more than one way we can get rid of unwanted fat. Cooling treatments, for instance, freeze fat cells to death. The body removes these damaged cells over several months.()58.

44、Which of the following can replace the underlined word “ midsection in” the secondparagraph?A. Leg. B. Arm. C. Wrist. D. Waist.()59. Generally speaking, who have a larger proportion of brown fat?A. Babies. B. Senior people. C. Fat people. D. Thin people.()60. The following kinds of fat can help peop

45、le fight against obesity EXCEPT A. beige fat B. brite fat C. white fat D. brown fatCEvery Morning, Breanna Roque goes out to the farm to feed the cows. But this isn't your typical farm;it's a laboratory, and Roque is a graduate researcher at the University of California, Davis. She's bee

46、n spending her time among the cows to see if she can adjust their diets so they burp( 打嗝 ) less. The cows' special diet includes small parts of a red seaweed. It contains a chemical combination, which prevents the production of CH 4 during the cows' digestion. Less CH 4 means less burping. A

47、nd less burping could mean slowing down climate change globally.Although agriculture accounts for a smaller percentage of total greenhouse gas production than sectors, 11 ,like transportation and energy, it produces more CH 4, which warms the Earth up to 86 times as much as CO 2.When cows eat, they

48、burp food back up, producing CH 4 as a byproduct. Researchers across the globe have been pursuing the idea that adding substances to feed might help reduce these CH4- loaded burps. But it wasn't until 2016 that researchers in Australia found that grass feed of 2 percent seaweed could cut CH 4 pr

49、oductions by nearly 99 percent. In 2019 ， Roque's team published the results of a similar study: They cut CH 4 production 95 percent by adding to a typical U S. dairy cow diet with just 5 percent seaweed. But questions remained about the seaweed's effectiveness in actual cow stomachs.So more

50、 researchers headed to the farm. They found that a diet of just 0.5 percent seaweed led to a 26-percent decrease in CH 4. A 1 - percent seaweed diet produced 67 percent less CH 4. Further research is needed to fully understand why this seaweed in particular works best and to see if adding seaweed to

51、 cows' diets will affect the quality of the products coming from the animals. In the future, they'll run trials to see if seaweed gives cow's milk an unpleasant taste or leaves steaks smelling of seafood.Researchers still need to ensure the seaweed combination, which is sensitive to heat

52、 and light, will be shelf- stable and remain effective in real -world applications. And even if the seaweed succeeds, CH 4 from cattle accounts for just 5 percent of greenhouse gas production in the U S., so the overall picture won't improve much.Still, last August, researchers at the University

53、 of the Sunshine Coast in Queensland, Australia, announced they would be trying to find ways to farm the seaweed on a large - enough scale to break into the cattle feed market. Roque says she's regularly contacted by annoying businessmen who want her help to mass produce the seaweed for global a

54、nimal consumption. “ People reach out to me all the time ， ” she says. “ Unfortunately, I'm an ani mal biologist and not a sea biologist.”()61. What is the purpose of Roque's research?A. To reduce global warming through cow feed.B. To enrich cattle diets with a special seaweed.C. To make foo

According to Paragraph 2, the 2016 and 2019 studies were imperfect as they failed to findout A. why CH 4 was more harmful than CO 2 in climate changeB. which seaweed worked best in cutting CH 4 productionC. wheth

Future research will probably NOT deal withA. how to grow seaweed on farmland economicallyB. how to bring out the best function of the seaweedC. how to prevent beef and milk from tasti
