四川省成都市锦江区2020年中考英语二诊试卷

阅读下面短文,根据其内容,完成表格中所缺的信息。

    Do you know viruses(病毒) and bacteria(细菌)? Both of them are very small, we can't see them with our eyes, and many people know nothing about them. In fact, there are a number of differences between viruses and bacteria. Bacterium, the singular form of the word bacteria, is a one—celled(单细胞) living thing, with complete sets of both RNA and DNA genetic codes(遗传密码). For viruses, some are sections of RNA, and the others are sections of DNA. So, bacterium is at least a hundred times larger than a typical virus.

    One main difference between viruses and bacteria is the method of reproduction. A bacterium is a completely independent and self—reproducing unit. When the time is right, bacterium will divide its DNA and RNA genetic material in two. This is how bacteria live in almost every environment on Earth, including non—living things like rocks or plastic.

    A virus, on the other hand, cannot reproduce without a living host. A virus may lie for thousands of years before finally coming into a suitable host. Once it enters the body of a host, a virus will get in the living cell. Once inside a living cell, a virus takes the place of the living cell's DNA or RNA genetic instructions with its own. Those instructions are usually to make as many copies of the virus as possible.

    Ninety—nine percent of all known bacteria are considered useful to humans, or at least have no bad influence. But most viruses, on the other hand, serve no good purpose. Their only purpose is to create more viruses in order to make themselves continue to live.

    Bacteria are alive, which means they can be killed by some form of chemical things. Antibiotics(抗生素) can kill bacteria. Viruses, by comparison, are not considered living things. They cannot be 'killed' in the same way as antibiotics kill bacteria. In fact, any medicine is useless for virus' infections. The disease must run its course until the body can make a successful protection on its own.

 D. Read and answer the questions. (根据短文回答问题,请完整回答)

Could getting a good night's sleep avoid (避免) putting on weight for children?

According to a new study, putting preschoolers in bed by 8 p. m. could reduce their chances of becoming overweight or obese (肥胖) later in life by half. Preschoolers are children around the age of 4 or 5. 

The researchers from Ohio State University wrote their findings in the Journal of Pediatrics. They have found that young children who go to bed after 9 p. m. are twice as likely to be obese later in life. The lead author of the study is Sarah Anderson. She says that it's very important for parents to create a bedtime routine for their children. 

How was the research conducted (进行)? Researchers chose 977 children for it. These children are part of a larger project called the Study of Early Child Care and Youth Development. The project follows healthy babies in ten America cities. In order to have a clearer picture of the results, researchers then divided the children into three groups:

* those who went to bed by 8 p. m. or earlier

* those who went to bed between 8 p. m. and9 p. m. 

* those whose bedtimes were after 9 p. m. 

When these children turned 15 years old, the researchers looked at the results of the study. Of those with the earliest bedtimes, only one out of ten was obese. Of those who went to bed between 8 and 9 at night, 16 percent of the children became obese. And out of those with the latest bedtimes, 23 percent of the children became obese. 

"Having a usual bedtime routine can lower children's risk of becoming overweight. Besides, as usual, early bedtime is also likely to have positive (积极的) effects on behaviour and social development, " said Professor Anderson.
