For example, studies of identical twins have revealed great similarity in their overall weight. Part of this similarity may be explained by the finding that some people arc born to burn a lot of calorics just through ordinary day-to-day activities while others are not. Those who are not are more at risk for weight gain.Researchers have discovered some of the actual genetic mechanisms （机制）that may make some individuals more likely to be obese （肥胖的）.For example, a gene has been found （hat appears to control signals to the brain that enough fat has been stored in the body in the course of a meal so the individual should stop eating. The gene influences the production of leptin （瘦蛋白），which keeps appetite under control. If leptin doesn't work well, it is likely that individuals will continue to eat. Thus the gene （hat controls leptin appears to have a critical influence on the potential for obesity.The confirmation that leptin plays a role in weight control has encouraged researchers to identify and understand other weight-related gene. Recent attention has focused on a gene called GAD2. GAD2 helps control the amount of the euro-transmitter （神经递质）GABA. In general, when more GABA is available, appetite is increased. For that reason, people who have a form of GAD2 that allows more GABA to be available may be at risk for overeating. You can see that GAD2 is not directly an obesity gene. Rather it has an indirect influence on obesity through its direct influence on GABA.Genetic research holds out the promise of innovative solutions to obesity. Researchers hope that anunderstanding of the link between genus and weight control will enable them to provide new drug treatments. Nonetheless, even the most optimistic researchers provide a warning: "Innovative drugs will be effective only when they are used along with lifestyle changes.12. What does the author want to explain by giving the example of twins?A. It is hard to maintain a healthy weight.C. The twins are usually of similar weight.B. Being fat or thin is genetic ally related D. An individual4 body can burn calorie.13. What can make an individual more likely to put on weight?A Poor appetite.B. All varieties of GAD2C. Effective leptin.14 What do researchers suggest people do?D. Extra amount of GABA.A. Adopt advanced means.C. Keep good living habits.15. What is the text mainly about?A. How does genetics contribute to obesity?C. How many genus determine who is obese?B. Learn more about genetic effects.D. Change the weight-related gene.B. What impact does eating have on weight?D. Why do many people become overweight?第二节（共5小题：每小题2.5分，满分12.5分）根据短文内容，从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。Do you have a place you are most likely to visita place with family, good weather, and fun things to do?
