【答案解析】56【标准答案】B。
【高考考点】归纳主旨题。
【试题解析】本文主要介绍chocolate中含有的一种成分Theobromine能有很好的止咳效果,所以该题的正确答案为B
55【标准答案】B。
【高考考点】推理判断题。
【试题解析】从第四段首句Tenhealthyvolunteers(志愿者)weregiventheobromine,codeineorplacebo,apillthatcontainsnomedicine,duringtheexperiment.可知实验中每组人吃一种所给的物品才能看出止咳的效果,故需要三组志愿者。
54【标准答案】C。
【高考考点】细节理解题。
【试题解析】A、B、D三项中的物品是用来做实验的物品。
在文章第四段最后一句Theresearchersthenmeasuredlevelsofcapsaicin,whichisusedinresearchtocausecoughingandasasignofhowwellthemedicinearestoppingcoughs.可知Capsaicin(辣椒素)用来引起咳嗽和作为这些药物如何止咳的依据。
53【标准答案】D。
【高考考点】推理判断题。
【试题解析】从第二段的Theirstudyfoundthattheobromine,foundincocoa,wasnearlyathirdmoreeffectiveinstoppingcoughsthancodeine,whichwasconsideredthebestcoughmedicineatpresent.可看出theobromine比codeine更有效,判断A项错误。
既然它用来止咳,改善人们的生活质量,所以B项错误。
在第一段提到了heobromine是从chocolate里提炼出来的,所以C项错误。
故正确答案是D项。
D篇是一篇科普性读物。
选材于医学的某一方面的研究――对巧克力中theobromine(可可碱)独特的治疗咳嗽的功效的对比研究,证明theobromine(可可碱)是未来有效的治疗咳嗽的良药。
