D.Toexploreacomplexassociation.【答案】28.B29.A30.D【解析】【導(dǎo)語】這是一篇說明文。主要介紹了一項研究發(fā)現(xiàn)，攝入精制碳水化合物如甜食和高度加工食品會影響面部吸引力。【28題詳解】主旨大意題。根據(jù)第二段中“Uponarrival,theywereassignedtoconsumeoneoftwotypesofbreakfastshavingthesamecaloricvalues:onehighinrefinedcarbohydratesandtheotherlow.”（到達目的地后，他們被分配食用兩種熱量相同的早餐中的一種：一種是高精制碳水化合物早餐，另一種是低精制碳水化合物早餐。）以及第三段中“Toevaluatelong-termdietaryhabits,theparticipantscompleteddetaileddietaryquestionnairesconcerningtheirconsumptionduringbreakfast,afternoonsnacks,andbetween-mealsnacksonthedaybeforethestudy.”（為了評估長期飲食習(xí)慣，參與者填寫了詳細的飲食調(diào)查問卷，內(nèi)容涉及研究前一天早餐、下午點心和兩餐之間點心的食用情況。）可知第二段和第三段主要說的是研究方法。故選B項?！?9題詳解】推理判斷題。根據(jù)倒數(shù)第三段中“theresearchersfoundthatahigherenergyintakeatbreakfastwasassociatedwithincreasedattractivenessforbothmenandwomen,suggestingthatfoodshighinfatsandproteins,whichdonotleadtorapidglycemicresponses,mightcontributepositivelytoperceivedattractiveness(研究人員發(fā)現(xiàn)早餐時攝入更多的能量與男性和女性的吸引力增加有關(guān)，這表明富含脂肪和蛋白質(zhì)的食物，不會導(dǎo)致快速的血糖反應(yīng)，可能對感知吸引力有積極的貢獻)”可知，富含脂肪和蛋白質(zhì)的食物，不會導(dǎo)致快速的血糖反應(yīng)，可能對感知吸引力有積極的貢獻，由此推知劇烈的血糖反應(yīng)可能會降低吸引力。故選A項?！?0題詳解】推理判斷題。根據(jù)第一段中“Inanewstudy,researchershaveunveiledinterestingfindingsthatlinktheconsumptionofrefinedcarbohydrates-suchassugarysnacksandhighlyprocessedfoods-withchangesinfacialattractiveness.

”（在一項新的研究中，研究人員公布了一項有趣的發(fā)現(xiàn)，即精制碳水化合物的攝入與面部吸引力的變化有關(guān)。）可知，這個研究的目的是為了探索精制碳水化合物的攝入與面部吸引力的變化之間復(fù)雜的關(guān)聯(lián)。故選D項。DWhenclimateactivistsgluedthemselvestotheframeofacopyofTheLastSupperatLondon’sRoyalAcademyofArts,theyreceivedafairlysympathetichearing.“Nopaintingisworthmorethanmysix-month-oldnephew’slife,”saidaprotester,criticizingtheBritishgovernment’ssupportofthefossilfuelindustryduringtheurgentclimatecrisis.ButwhenprotestersthrewtomatosoupatVanGogh’sSunflowers,andmashedpotatoesatHaystacksbyMonet—thecensurerose.“Absolutelyabsurd,”saidthecultureministerofFrance.“Wehavebeendeeplyshakenbytheirriskyendangerment,”readastatementfromtheInternationalCouncilofMuseums.Theprotestersaretargetingworksthatareprotectedbehindglass—atleastfornow—soactualdamagehasbeenminimal.Andperhapstheangergreetingtheiractsprovestheirpoint:thatpeoplecaremoreaboutthethreateneddestructionofapaintingthantheactualdestructionoftheplanet.Butastheattackswearon,andtheirimpactdecreases,theyriskchangingintoajoke.What’sespeciallymisguidedabouttheprotestsistheirbinarynature.“Whatisworthmore,artorlife?”aprotesterasked.Whychoose?“It’spossibletoblamebothenvironmentalvandalism(蓄意破壞)andculturalvandalismatthesametime,”MarkPasnik,chairoftheBostonArtCommission,said.Artisnottheproblemhere.Infact,contemporaryartistsaremakingquiteeffectiveworksabouttheclimatecrisis,preciselyusingartasactivism.MayaLin’sGhostForest,aclimatechangememorialshecreatedinaNewYorkCitypark,isonlyoneexample.“Ibelievethatartcanhelpusimagineandmapsustainablefuturescenarios(設(shè)想),and,indoingso,givepeopleawaytoseeandhopeforadifferentfuture,”Linsaid.Theclimateactivistsaresurelycorrectthatthepaceofreformisfartooslow,astheplanetburnsanddeadlystormsintensify.Buttheycasuallydismissthesincereeffortsofmillionsofpeopleworkingontheissue.ItwouldbeeasiertorespecttheyoungprotestersatJustStopOil,LastGeneration,andtherestofthesplashgroupsiftheyweretospendtheirtimeandenergyontheunexcitingbutessentialpoliticalworkaroundclimatechange:legislation,regulation,andwinningheartsandminds.Perhapspredictably,thedebatescausedbytheprotestshavenotbeenaboutclimatechange,butabouttheproteststhemselves.Givenhowlittlethey’vedonetogenerateseriousdiscussionorengagepeopletothecause,theartattacksseemlesslikevitalactsoflawbreakingthanmeretheatre.31.Whatdoestheunderlinedword“censure”inParagraph1probablymean?A.Approval.
