语篇解读:这是一篇科普性读物。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。
1.According to Professor Barnes, theobromine ________.
A.cannot be as effective as codeine
B.can be harmful to people's health
C.cannot be separated from chocolate
D.can be a more effective cure for coughs
答案:D 推理判断题。从第二段的“Their study found that theobromine, found in cocoa, was nearly a third more effective in stopping coughs than codeine, which was considered the best cough medicine at present.”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。
2.What was used in the experiment to cause coughing?
A.Theobromine.
B.Codeine.
C.Capsaicin.
