Circadian rhythms are the bodys daily biological cycles, controlling such activities as sleep

10、 and wakefulness. In November 1988, neuroscientists at the University of Virginia in Charlotteville reported that the supra chasmatic nucleus(SCN), a small cluster(束 )of cells in the middle of the brain that neuroscientists have long suspected of playing a role in daily rhythms, is the long-sought b

11、iological clock. The investigators performed a series of tissue-transplant experiments with hamsters (仓鼠 ). Some of the animals were normal hamsters, which have a circadian cycle of 24 hours; the others were mutant(变异型 )hamsters whose cycles were only 20 or 22 hours long. The scientists first remove

12、d the SCN from the brans of the hamsters in both groups. They then implanted an SCN from a mutant hamster into the brain of each normal animal, and vice versa. When the hamsters had recovered from their operations, the circadian rhythms of the two groups were reversed. The normal hamsters had a dail

13、y cycle of 20 to 22 hours, and the mutants were on a 24-hour cycle. The identification of the internal clock is an important stepping-stone in understanding the basic, automatic mechanisms of brain function. It may also help in finding ways to relieve human sleep disorders. 16 The purpose of the exp

14、eriments was to fund out how the clock works. （ A） Right （ B） Wrong （ C） Not mentioned 17 the identification of the internal clock may help to relieve human sleeping problems. （ A） Right （ B） Wrong （ C） Not mentioned 18 The normal hamsters had a daily cycle of 24 hour, and the mutants were on a 20-

If you want to stay young, sit down and have a good think. This is the research fi

17、nding of a team of Japanese doctors, who say that most of our brains are not getting enough exercise-and as a result, we are ageing unnecessarily soon. 2. Professor Taiju Matsuzawa wanted to find out why otherwise healthy farmers in northern Japan appeared to be losing their ability to think and rea

18、son at a relatively early age, and how the process of ageing could be slowed down. 3. With a team of colleagues at Tokyo National University, he set about measuring brain volumes of a thousand people of different ages and varying occupations. 4. Computer technology enabled the researchers to obtain

19、precise measurements of the volume of the front and side sections of the brain, which relate to intellect(智能 )and emotion, and determine the human character. (The rear section of the brain, which controls functions like eating and breathing, does not contract with age, and one can continue living wi

20、thout intellectual or emotional faculties. ) 5. Contraction of front and side parts-as cells die off-was observed in some subjects in their thirties, but it was still not evident in some sixty and seventy-year-olds. 6. Matsuzawa concluded from his tests that there is a simple remedy to the contracti

21、on normally associated with age-using the head. 7. The findings show in general terms that contraction of the brain begins sooner in people in the country than in the towns. Those least at risk, says Matuzawa, are lawyers, followed by university professors and doctors. White collar workers doing rou

22、tine work in government offices are, however, as likely to have shrinking brains as the farm worker, bus driver and shop assistant. 8. Matsuzawas findings show that thinking can prevent the brain from shrinking. Blood must circulate properly in the head to supply the fresh oxygen the brain ceils nee

In a special

27、report on cancer and blacks, the organization said blacks are usually diagnosed with cancer later than whites, and they are more likely to die of the disease. This could be because of unequal (不平等的 ) access to medical care, because blacks are more likely to have other diseases as well, and perhaps b

28、ecause of differences in the biology (生物学 ) of the cancer itself, the report added. “In general, black Americans have less hope of surviving five years after diagnosis than whites for all cancer sites and all stages of diagnosis,“ the report said. “In describing cancer statistics for black Americans

29、, this report recognizes that many of the differences associated with race may be caused by unfair social and economic differences and unequal access to medical care.“ The cancer society said blacks should be encouraged to get check-ups (体格检查 ) earlier, when cancer is more treatable, and it said mor

30、e research is needed to see if biological differences play a role; “The new statistics emphasize the continuing importance of wiping out these unfair social differences through public policy and education efforts,“ the organization said in a statement. But it also noted a drop in cancer death rates.

31、 “Cancer death rates in both sexes for all sites combined have dropped greatly among black Americans since 1992, as have incidence rates (发生率 ),“ said the report. 31 Black Americans are more likely to die of cancer than （ A） people in other countries. （ B） white Americans. （ C） all other Americans.

32、（ D） their ancestors. 32 Which may NOT be a reason for higher cancer death rates among US blacks? （ A） Unequal access to medical care. （ B） Greater probability of having other diseases. （ C） Differences in the biology of the cancer. （ D） Early diagnosis. 33 Cancer is more treatable if it is detected

33、 （ A） in an early stage. （ B） in a late stage. （ C） all of a sudden. （ D） together with other diseases. 34 Public policy and education efforts may help to do away with （ A） death rates. （ B） various cancers. （ C） unfair social differences. （ D） biological differences. 35 Since 1992, cancer death rat

34、es among black Americans （ A） have been going up and down. （ B） have remained stable. （ C） have increased. （ D） have fallen. 36 A Desert Between Paul and Clara Paul had long promised to marry Clara. But at thirty-three he met and married Alice. Clara was driven mad. Paul was taken to court. The judg

35、e ordered him to pay Clara $600 because of the broken promise. Paul had to borrow the money from a moneylender. He agreed to pay back $5 a month-for twenty years. His wages at the time were $16 a month. Paul and Alice were poor but not unhappy. They had little enough food, certainly, even before the

36、 children began to arrive. Each month Paul paid $5 to the moneylender. He worked hard, never taking a holiday, in time, there were seven mouths to feed. Illness was always with them. It grew serious when the oldest child was eight. The years of hunger weakened the family, because each month Paul pai

37、d $5. The details of the sickness were ugly, but the result was this: after twelve years of family life, Paul was alone in the world. He lived alone, except for memories. Work was not now a god for him: it was a pain-killer. Each month he paid, and in time the twenty years ended, From that moment hi

38、s wages were his own. One day, it was a holiday-he went to the seaside. He sat down on a seat by the sea. A middle-aged woman came and sat down near him. They recognized each other at once. The woman said, “The $600 has been in the bank since the day it was paid to me. It is now $6,000, and I have k

39、ept it for you. Will you let me share it with you? “No,“ said Paul, gently. “Each thousand is a lost life in a desert between us. It can never bring any happiness.“ 36 Paul was ordered to pay Clara $600 because （ A） he had borrowed $600 from her. （ B） he had broken his word to marry her. （ C） he had

40、 promised to give her $600. （ D） he had spent a lot of her money. 37 How many children did Paul and Alice have? （ A） Two. （ B） Four. （ C） Five. （ D） Eight. 38 Twelve years after his marriage, Paul was （ A） poor but not sad. （ B） very sick. （ C） free from debt. （ D） lonely and unhappy. 39 After his w

41、ife and children died, Paul turned to his work to （ A） ease his pain. （ B） forget his debt. （ C） get pleasure. （ D） seek friendship. 40 When Paul met Clara again 20 years later, he decided （ A） to share the $600 with her. （ B） not to marry her. （ C） to ask back the $600, （ D） not to refuse her offer

42、. 41 Florence Nightingale Florence Nightingale was born in Florence, Italy, while her wealthy English parents were traveling in Europe. As a child, she traveled to many places with her family and learned how to speak several languages. When Nightingale was 17, she told her family that she was going

43、to help sick people. Her parents did not approve, but Nightingale was determined. She traveled to hospitals all over Europe. She saw that doctors were working too hard. She saw that patients died because they did not get enough care. Nightingale felt that women could be doing more to help doctors ta

44、ke care of sick people. Nightingale knew that in order for nurses to do more, they needed special training in how to take care of sick people. Nightingale went to a hospital in Germany to study nursing. Then she returned to London and became the head of a group of women called Gentlewomen During Ill

45、ness. These women cared for sick people in their homes. In 1854, England was fighting a war with Russia. War reporters wrote about the terrible conditions in the hospitals that cared for the wounded. People demanded that something be done about it. A leader of the government asked Florence Nightinga

46、le to take some nurses into the war hospitals. So, in November 1854, Nightingale finally got to work in a hospital. She took along 38 nurses whom she had trained herself. At first, the doctors on the battlefields did not want Nightingale and her nurses in their hospitals. They did not believe that w

47、omen could help. But in fact, the nurses did make a difference. They worked around the clock, tending the sick. Thanks to their hard work, many wounded soldiers survived. After the war, Nightingale and her nurses were treated like heroes. Finally, in 1860, she started the Nightingale School for Nurs

48、es.
