Most of these damaging earthquakes occur either in a narrow belt which surrounds the Pacific Ocean or in a line which extends from Burma t

15、o the Alps in Europe. Some of the destruction is directly caused by the quake itself. An example of this is the collapse of buildings as a result of the quake itself. Other damage results from landslides or major fires which are initiated by the quake. These are about a million quakes a year. Fortun

16、ately, however, not all of them are destructive. The intensity of an earthquake is measured on the Richter Scale, which goes from 0 upward. The highest scale recorded to date is 8.9, major damage generally occurs from quakes ranging upward from 6.0. The actual cause of the quake itself is the breaki

17、ng of rocks at or below the earths surface. This is produced by pressure which scientists believe may be due to a number of reasons, two of which are the expansion and contraction of the earths crust and continental drift. In order to limit the damage and to prevent some of the suffering resulting f

18、rom earthquakes, scientists are working on ways to enable accurate prediction. Special instruments are used to help people record, for example, shaking of the earth. Scientists are trying to find methods that will enable them to indicate the exact time, location and size of an earthquake. Certain ph

They could see that a person died when his heart stopped beating. People have learned, however, that the body does not

23、 die immediately when the heart stops beating. They discovered that we remain alive as long as our brain remains active. Today the difference between life and death is not as easy to see as in the past. Modern medical devices can keep the heart beating and the lungs breathing long after the brain st

24、ops. But is this life? This question has caused much debate among citizens in the United States. Many of them want a law that says a person is dead when the brain dies. A person should be considered dead when brain waves stop even if machines can keep the body alive. Such a law would permit doctors

25、to speed removal (切除 ) of undiseased (没病的 ) organs for transplant (移植 ) operations. The brain is made of thousands of millions of nerve cells. These cells send and receive millions of chemical and electrical messages every day. In this way the brain controls the other body activities. Nerve-cell exp

26、erts say it usually is easy to tell when the brain has died. They put small electrodes (电极 ) on a persons skull (头骨 ) to measure the electrical signals that pass in and out of the brain. These brain waves are recorded on a television screen or on paper. The waves move up and down every time the brai

27、n receives messages from the nerve cells. The brain is dead when the waves stop moving. Although there are people who oppose the idea of a law on brain block for variouis reasons, the idea of brain wave activity as a test of death is slowly being accepted. 31 People in the past held that the differe

28、nce between life and death_. （ A） was easy to tell （ B） did not exist （ C） lay in the brain （ D） was open to debate 32 Which of the following is NOT a phenomenon mentioned in the passage? （ A） The heart may keep beating after the brain has died. （ B） The body may still be alive after the heart and t

29、he brain have stopped working. （ C） The brain may still be active after the heart has stopped beating. （ D） The lung may keep breathing after the brain has died. 33 When a person should be considered dead is currently a matter_. （ A） which has caused heated argument in the US （ B） which few people i

32、 issue of the Journal of Health and Social Behavior. However, the study also found that when less-educated people did suffer stress it was more severe and had a larger impact on their health. From this researchers have concluded that the day-to-day factors that cause stress are not random. Where you

33、 are in society determines the kinds of problems that you have each day, and how well you will cope with them. The research team interviewed a national sample of 1,031 adults daily for eight days about their stress level and health. People without a high school diploma reported stress on 30 percent

34、of the study days, people with a high school degree reported stress 38 percent of the time, and people with college degrees reported stress 44 percent of the time. “Less advantaged people are less healthy on a dally basis and are more likely to have downward turns in their health.“ lead researcher D

35、r. Joseph Grzywacz, of Wake Forest University Baptist Medical Center, said in a prepared statement. “The downward turns in health were connected with daily stressors, and the effect of daily stressors on their health is much more devastating for the less advantaged.“ Grzywacz suggested follow-up res

36、earch to determine why less-educated people report fewer days of stress when it is known their stress is more acute and chronic. “If something happens every day, maybe its not seen as a stressor.“ Grzywacz says. “Maybe it is just life.“ stressor n. 紧张性刺激 devastating adj. 毁灭性的 follow-up n. (对病人的 ) 随访

37、 36 Stress level is closely related to_. （ A） family size （ B） social status （ C） body weight （ D） work experience 37 The 1, 031 adults were interviewed_. （ A） on a dally basis for 8 days （ B） during one of eight days （ C） all by Grzywacz （ D） in groups 38 Which group reported the biggest number of

38、stressful days? （ A） People without any education. （ B） People without high school degrees. （ C） People with high school degrees. （ D） People with college degrees. 39 The less advantaged people are, the greater （ A） the impact of stress on their health is （ B） the effect of education on their health

39、 is （ C） the level of their education is （ D） the degree of their health concern is 40 Less-educated people report fewer days of stress possibly because （ A） they dont want to tell the truth （ B） they dont want to face the truth （ C） stress is too common a factor in their life （ D） their stress is m

40、ore acute 41 Late-night Drinking Coffee lovers beware. Having a quick “pick-me-up“ cup of coffee late in the day will play havoc with you sleep. As well as being a stimulant, caffeine interrupts the flow of melatonin, the brain hormone that send people into a sleep. Melatonin levels normally start t

41、o rise about two hours before bedtime. Levels then peak between 2 a.m. and 4 a.m., before falling again. “Its the neurohormone that controls our sleep and tells our body when to sleep and when to wake,“ says Manrice Ohayon of the Stanford Sleep Epidemiklogy Research Center at Stanford University in

42、California. But researchers in Israel have found that caffeinated coffee halves the bodys levels of this sleep hormone. Lotan Shilo and a team at the Sapir Medical Center in Tel Aviv University found that six volunteers slept less well after a cup of caffeinated coffee than after drinking the same a

43、mount of decaf. On average, subjects slept 336 minutes per night after drinking caffeinated coffee, compared with 415 minutes after decaf. They also took half an hour to drop off-twice as long as usual- and jigged around in twice as much. In the second phase of the experiment, the researchers woke t

44、he volunteers every three hours and asked them to give a urine sample. Shilo measured concentrations of a breakers were half those in decaf drinkers. The results suggest that melatonin concentrations in caffeine drinkers were half those in decaf drinkers. In a paper accepted for publication in Sleep

45、 Medicine, the researchers suggest that caffeine blocks production of the enzyme the drives melatonin production. Because it can take many hours to eliminate caffeine from the body, Ohayon recommends that coffee lovers switch to decal after lunch. 41 The author mentions “pick-me-up“ to indicate that

46、_. （ A） melatonin levels need to be raised （ B） neurohormone can wake us up （ C） coffee is stimulant （ D） decaf is a caffeinated coffee 42 Which of the following tells us how caffeine affects sleep? （ A） Caffeine blocks production of the enzyme that stops melatonin production. （ B） Caffeine interrup

47、ts the flow of sleep hormone. （ C） Caffeine halves the bodys levels of sleep hormone. （ D） Caffeine stays in the body for many hours. 43 What does paragraph 3 mainly discuss? （ A） Different effects of caffeinated coffee and decal on sleep. （ B） Different findings of Lotan Shilo and a team about caff

48、eine. （ C） The fact that the subjects slept 415 minutes per night after drinking decaf. （ D） The evidence that the subjects took half an hour to fall asleep. 44 What does the experiment mentioned in paragraph 4 prove? （ A） There are more enzymes in decaf drinkers urine sample. （ B） There are more me

49、latonin concentrations in caffeine drinkers urine sample. （ C） Decaf drinkers produce less melatonin. （ D） Caffeine drinkers produce less sleep hormone. 45 The author of this passage probably agrees that_. （ A） coffee lovers sleep less than those who do not drink coffee （ B） we should not drink coffee after supper （ C） people sleep more soundly at midnight than at 3 a.m. （ D） if we feel sleepy at night, we should go to bed immediately 五、 补全短
