中考英语阅读理解专项练习(含答案)(绝对精品，建议大家下载打印练习)Passage 1Instead of gulping(狼吞虎咽地吃) your food, try eating more slowly. It may help you drop those unwanted pounds. The conclusion is from a new study by Japanese researchers.The study showed that compared with people who gobbled their food, those who ate at a normal speed were 29 percent less likely to be obese(肥胖的). But those who ate slowly were up to 42 percent less likely to be obese. In addition, slow eaters tended(往往会) to be healthier and to have a healthier lifestyle than those who ate quickly or at a normal speed.“However, this study could not prove that eating speed causes or stops obesity,” the researchers noted. They were led by Dr. Haruhisa Fukuda from Japan.“Slow eating has its advantages and a few disadvantages,” said Samantha Heller from New York City. “On the one hand, slow eating gives our bodies time to register a sense of satisfaction and fullness, so we eat less. We are more likely to enjoy the taste of food. On the other hand, the longer somepeople sit in front of food, the more food they will eat,” she said.“Speed eating appears to be far more harmful. People who eat quickly, as many of us do, gulp far more food than they need. In many European countries, slow eating is a way of life,” Heller said. “In America, speed eating takes the lead. Thus, we need to encourage people to have a change, learn the way of slower eating from Europeans and get a true enjoyment of food.”1.

Passage 2When it comes to friendships, it’s important to have some things in common. However, while enjoying the same films and having similar taste in restaurants might seem important, the real test of a strong friendship could lie in your genetics(基因). This is because friends are more genetically similar than strangers.A team of researchers from Stanford, Duke and the University of Wisconsin examined 5,500 American teenagers. After carrying out a series of genetic comparisons between pairs of friends, they found genetic similarities between them, which are far more than between pairs who didn’t know each other.They also found that friends were on average around two thirds as genetically similar as married couples, reported Time. This might be because people are attracted by those with whom they have shared characteristics such as having similarbackgrounds, levels of education or being of a similar height or weight. The researchers described this process as social homophily(社会同质性).Another explanation they suggested is that people form friendships within shared social environments more easily. For example, they may attend the same school or live in the same community. This is known as social structuring.They added that social homophily and social structuring may also complement（补充）each other. In terms with friends, their resea rch suggests that it’s largely the effect of social structures.1.
