3、rm the tissue (生物组织) in the stomach, the pipe that carries the food to the stomach or parts of the small intestines (肠). Fluids (液体) in the stomach then increase the pain of an ulcer.

H Pilorie bacteria are what make stomach produce extra stomach fluid. Doctors found that they can kill the bacteria with medicines called antibiotics(抗生

6、素). Health experts say the discovery of a cure for ulcers can save thousands of millions of dollars in medical costs. They also believe curing ulcers will reduce the number of people who develop stomach cancer. The number of people with stomach cancer is very high in Japan, Southeast Asia and parts

7、of Africa. Doctors say a person is more likely to get an ulcer if someone in his or her family has had one. In fact a person with the family history of ulcers is three times more likely to get one than other people. There are ways people can protect themselves from developing an ulcer. Doctors say i

8、t is more important to reduce the amount of strong fluids in the stomach. To do this, doctors say, people should not smoke cigarettes or drink alcohol.

In the electroencephalographic (脑电图仪的) sense we share it with all the primates(灵长类动物) and almost all the other mammals and bir

13、ds; it may extend back as far as the reptiles (爬行动物). There is some evidence that the two types of sleep, dreaming and dreamless, depend on the life-style of the animal, and that predators(食肉动物) are statistically much more likely to dream than prey, which are in turn much more likely to experience d

14、reamless sleep. In dream sleep, the animal is powerfully immobilized (使固定不动) and remarkably unresponsive to external stimuli. Dreamless sleep is much shallower, and we have all witnessed cats or dogs cocking their ears to a sound when apparently fast asleep. The fact that deep dream sleep is rare am

15、ong prey today seems clearly to be a product of natural selection, and it makes sense that today, when sleep is highly evolved, the stupid animals are less frequently immobilized by deep sleep than the smart ones. But why should they sleep deeply at all? Why should a state of such deep immobilizatio

16、n ever have evolved? Perhaps one useful hint about the original function of sleep is to be found in the fact that dolphins and whales and aquatic mammals in general seem to sleep very little. There is, by and large, no place to hide in the ocean. Could it be that, rather than increasing an animal s

17、vulnerability, the function of sleep is to decrease it? Wilse Webb of the University of Florida and Ray Meddis of London University have suggested this to be the case. It is conceivable that animals who are too stupid to be quiet on their own initiative are, during periods of high risk, immobilized

18、by the implacable arm of sleep. The point seems particularly clear for the young of predatory animals. This is an interesting notion and probably at least partly true.（分数：10.00）(1).The author states that during dream sleep, the animal sleeps_.（分数：2.00）A.without movingB.shallowlyC.intermittentlyD.on

22、全句子(总题数：2，分数：20.00)Radar 1 Children enjoy shouting at a high wall and hearing the sound come back to them. These sounds are called echoes (回声). Echoes have given us a number of valuable tools. 2 Echo sounding devices were early used in making maps of the ocean floor. Sounds or ultrasonic (超声的) sound

Sometimes echoes from ultrasonic distance finding devices were prevented from working by fish swimming past or by the presence of large objects.

27、 police can take measures to stop him. 6 A pilot cannot fly a plane by sight alone. Many conditions such as flying at night and landing in dense fog require the pilot to use radar.
