Th

11、e fruits that made it to the UK were green on the outside and, more often than not, hard with an unpleasant taste within. Then in 1966, the Del Monte Gold pineapple produced in Hawaii first hit our shelves.The new type of pineapple looked more yellowy-gold than green. It was slightly softer on the o

12、utside and had a lot of juice inside. But the most important thing about this new type of pineapple was that it was twice as sweet as the hit-and-miss pineapples we had known. In no time, the Del Monte Gold took the market by storm, rapidly becoming the worlds best-selling pineapple variety, and del

13、ivering natural levels of sweetness in the mouth, up until then only found in tinned pineapple.In nutrition it was all good news too. This nice tasting pineapple contained four times more vitamin C than the old green variety. Nutritionists said that it was not only full of vitamins, but also good ag

14、ainst some diseases. People were understandably eager to be able to buy this wonderful fruit. The new type of pineapple was selling fast, and the Del Monte Gold pineapple rapidly became a fixture in the shopping basket of the healthy eater.Seeing the growing market for its winning pineapple, Del Mon

15、te tried to keep market to itself. But other fruit companies argued successfully that Del Monte turned to law for help, but failed. Those companies argued successfully that Del Montes attempts to keep the golden pineapple for itself were just a way to knock them out the market.24. We learn from the

16、text that the new type at pineapple is _.A. green outside and sweet inside B. good-looking outside and soft insideC. yellowy-gold outside and hard inside D. a little soft outside and sweet inside25.

17、 less sweet and good for health.C. It was developed by Del Monte. D. It was used as medicine.26. The underlined word “fixture” in Paragraph 3 probably refers to something _.A. that people enjoy eating B. that is always presentC. that is difficult to get D. that people use as a gift27. We learn from

18、the last paragraph that Del Monte _.A. slowed other companies to develop pineapplesB. succeeded in keeping the pineapple for itselfC. tried hard to control the pineapple marketD. planned to help the other companiesCEssentially, everyone has two ages: a chronological（按时间计算的）age, how old the calendar

19、says you are, and a biological age, basically the age at which your body functions as it compares to average fitness or health levels.“Chronological age isnt how old we really are. Its merely a number,” said Professor David Sinclair at Harvard University. “It is biological age that determines our he

20、alth and ultimately our lifespan. We all age biologically at different rates according to our genes, what we eat, how much we exercise, and what environment we live in. Biological age is the number of candles we really should be blowing out. In the future, with advances in our ability to control bio

21、logical age, we may have even fewer candles on our birthday cake than the previous one.To calculate biological age, Professor Levine at Yale University identified nine bio-makers that seemed to be the most influential on lifespan by a simple blood test. The numbers of those markers, such as blood su

22、gar and immune measures, can be put into thecomputer, and the algorithm（算式）does the rest.Perhaps whats most important here is that these measures can be changed. Doctors can take this information and help patients make changes to lifestyle, and hopefully take steps to improve their biological condit

23、ions. “I think the most exciting thing about this research is that these things arent set in stone,” Levine said. “People can be given the information earlier and take steps to improve their health before its too late.”Levine even entered her own numbers into the algorithm. She was surprised by the

24、results. “I always considered myself a very healthy person. Im physically active; I eat what I consider a fairly healthy diet. But I did not find my results to be as good as I had hoped they would be. It was a wake-up call,” she said.Levine is working with a group to provide access to the algorithm

25、online so that anyone can calculate their biological age, identify potential risks and take steps to improve their health in the long run. “No one wants to live an extremely long life with a lot of chronic（慢性的）diseases,” Levine said. “By delaying the development of mental and physical functioning pr

26、oblems, people can still be engaged in society in their senior years. That is the ideal we should be pursuing.”28. Biological age depends on _.A. whether we can adapt ourselves to the environment B. when we start to take outdoor exercise C. how well our body works compared with our peers D. what the

27、 calendar says about our age 29. By saying “we may have even fewer candles on our birthday cake than the previous one.” in Para. 2, the author means _.A. we are chronologically older than last yearB. we might be less happy than the previous yearC. we dont have to celebrate our birthday every yearD.

28、we may be biologically younger than the year before30. What does the author want to tell us by Levines example in Para. 5?A. It is necessary to change our diet regularly. B. The test results may give us wrong information.C. Waking up early in the morning is good for our fitness. D. The algorithm can

29、 reveal our potential health problems.31. The ultimate goal of Levines research is to _.A. provide people with access to scientific theory B. work out a solution to genetic problemsC. keep people socially active even in old age D. free people from chronic diseasesDEnough “meaningless drivel”. Thats

30、the message from a group of members of the UK government who have been examining how social media firms like LinkedIn gather and use social media data.The House of Commons Science and Technology Committees report, released last week, has blamed firms for making people sign up to long incomprehensibl

31、e legal contracts and calls for an international standard or kitemark (认证标记) to identify sites that have clear terms and conditions. “The term and conditions statement that we all carelessly agree to is meaningless drivel to anyone,” says Andrew Miller, the chair of the committee. Instead, he says,

32、firms should provide a plain-English version of their terms. The simplified version would be checked by a third party and awarded a kitemark if it is an accurate reflection of the original.It is not yet clear who would administer the scheme, but the UK government is looking at introducing it on a vo

33、luntary basis. “we need to think through how we make that work in practice,” says Miller.Would we pay any more attention to a kitemark? “I think if you went and did the survey, people would like to think they would,” says Nigel Shadbolt at the University of Southampton, UK, who studies open data. “W

34、e do know people worry a lot about the inappropriate use of their information.” But what would happen in practice is another matter, he says.Other organizations such as banks ask customers to sign long contracts they may not read or understand, but Miller believes social media requires special atten

35、tion because it is so new. “We still dont know how significant the long-term impact is going to be of unwise things that kids put on social media that come back and bite them in 20 years time,” he says.Shadbolt,whogaveevidencetothecommittee,saystheproblemisthatwedontknowhow companieswilluseourdatabe
