25、e. 【小题 3】 Nevertheless, overuse of drugs such as opioids, central nervous system (CNS) depressants and stimulants does lead to harmful reliance in some people and is therefore becoming a serious public health concern. Although this abuse affects many people worldwide, particular trends of concern to

26、 the medical profession in the US appear among older adults, teenagers arid women. 64. Though it may be a surprise to many, the misuse of medications may be the most common form of drug abuse among the elderly. Dr Kenneth Schrader of Duke University, North Carolina states that although the elderly r

27、epresent about 13% of the US population, those aged 65 and over account for the consumption of one third of all drugs.

30、the image that a watch communicates is more important than the time it tells. “Complications”-features that go beyond simple timekeeping-are an important part of a watchs image. Todays watches offer a host of complications that suit almost any personality. These features include altitude trackers ,c

31、ompasses, lunar calendars, USB drivers ,and even devices that measure the effectiveness of golf swings! Creativity is also a key element in todays watches ,for men as well as women. The Japanese watchmaker Tokyoflash makes watches that dont even look like watches .The companys popular Shinshoku mode

32、l uses different color lights to tell the time .It looks more like a futuristic bracelet than a watch .Another Japanese watchmaker , EleeNo, makes a “handless” watch .Using a ring of circles to keep time, this watch makes an excellent conversation piece. In the past, the image of a mans watch was qu

33、ite different from that of a womans. Mens watches tend to be bolder, larger, and more complicated than womens watches, which were more likely to look like jewelry. Today, the differences between mens and womens watches are disappearing. Watchmakers are adding diamonds to their fine watches for man.

34、And for women, theyre designing larger watches that contain complications. For example, some womens watches now have calendars that show the phrases of the moon. Others show the time in two different cities, a handy function for business travelers. However, women still pay more attention than most m

35、en to the external beauty of a watch. And unlike men, women are still more likely to purchase watches that suit particular items in their wardrobes. 【小题 1】 According to the passage, one type of watch complications can show you _.

D Useful tips for purchasing watches. 答案： 【小题 1】 B 【小题 1】 D 【小题 1】 C The summer beach season is prime time for shark attacks. It seems like sharks are attacking all the time .B

38、ut that is something of an illusion. The number of attacks is very small. How does a shark hunt Muscles and fins (鳍 )give the shark its speed and maneuverability(灵活 )in the water. A sharks front fins act like the wings of a plane and let it “fly” through the water. The tail acts like a high-power pr

39、opeller(推进器 ). But the big thing that gives the shark its edge in the ocean is its sensory package. The package includes the shark eyes ,ears ,skin, nose and mouth, as well as electric sensing. A shark nose is probably its most important sense. If you were to put a single drop of blood in a swimming

40、 pool ,a great white shark could smell that. And they can tell the direction that the smell is coming from. Sharks handle their electric sensing using cell located in the head .Whenever something moves using its muscles , a shark can detect the electrical impulses（脉冲）flowing to those muscles. A shar

41、k can electrically “see” anything that has muscles even if it is hiding or the water is not clear. Sharks even have vibration sensors in their skin. Even something moves near the shark ,tubes pick up the pressure changes and hairs inside the tubes send signals to the brain . This extra sense allows

42、a shark to turn quickly and attack again. When you put all these different senses together ,it makes the shark a nearly ideal hunter. A shark can detect prey from miles away and then use eyes ,electrosensing and movement sensing to home in . Strangely, sharks do not seem to use these senses to home

43、in on people. The very low number of sharks tells us that sharks do not hunt people on a regular basis. On the other hand , people love to hunt sharks. Millions of sharks die every year. Without protection ,extinction is a definite possibility. 【小题 1】 From the text ,we can know that_. A it is true t
