3.Let's face it.No one drinks diet sodas for the taste.People drink diet sodas in the hope that it will help them lose weight or at least keep them from gaining it.Yet it seems to have exactly the opposite effect,according to a new study.
Researchers from the University of Texas said those who drank two or more diet sodas a day had waist size increases that were six times greater than those who didn't drink diet sodas."What we saw was that the more diet sodas a person drank,the more weight they were likely to gain,"said Sharon Fowler.
The study was based on data from 474 participants in a large,ongoing research project,where the participants were followed for nearly 10 years.
While the findings are surprising,they also offer some explanations.
Nutrition expert,Melanie Rogers,who works with overweight patients in New York,has found that when patients are switched from regular to diet sodas,they don't lose weight at all."We weren't seeing weight loss necessarily,and that was confusing to us,"said Rogers.
So why would diet soda cause weight gain?No one knows for sure yet,but it could be that people think they can eat more if they drink diet sodas,and so over-compensate(彌補(bǔ)) for the missing calories.
A related study found some sweeteners (甜味劑) raised blood sugar levels in some mice."Data from this and other potential studies suggest that the promotion of diet sodas and artificial sweeteners may be risky,"said Helen P.Hazuda,professor at School of Medicine of the University of Texas."They may be free of calories,but not of consequences."

25.People drink diet sodas toC.
A.enjoy its taste       
B.stay in fashion
C.a(chǎn)chieve weight loss  
 D.gain more energy
26.We can learn from the passage thatB.
A.regular sodas make people lose more weight
B.diet soda drinkers tend to eat more food
C.diet sodas do help reduce calories
D.most blood diseases come from diet sodas
27.The underlined word"They"in the last paragraph probably refers to"B".
A.sweeteners
B.diet sodas and artificial sweeteners
C.sodas
D.diet soda drinkers and sweetener takers.

解答 25.C.細(xì)節(jié)理解題.根據(jù)第一段中的"Peopledrink diet sodas in the hope that it will help them lose weight…"可知,人們喝蘇打水是為了減輕體重,故選C.
26.B.推理判斷題.根據(jù)倒數(shù)第二段中的"…they can eat more if they drink diet sodas…"可知,如果他們喝蘇打水,人們認(rèn)為他們可以吃得更多,所以喝蘇打水的人傾向于吃更多的食物.故選B. 
27.B.詞義猜測(cè)題.此處是承接上一句中的內(nèi)容,可知They 指代前面提及的dietsodas and artificial sweeteners.(蘇打水和人造甜味劑).故選B.

20.When I was about twelve,I headed to a resaurant for dinner with my family.It was winter,and on that particular night,the wind was really blowing.As my mom and I headed towards the restaurant from our car,a girl about my age and her mother came up to us.They asked if we had any spare change.My mom immediately asked where they kpt their things.They pointed to an old car in a parking across the street.The girl said there were six of them living in that car,which was the same size as my own family.

After painting this picture in my mind,I understood why my mom had done what she did.I will never forget what she did that night,and how she taught me one of the best lessons I ever learned.
