This is 15 m
24、illion a year. Many of these deaths can be prevented. In fact, experts say, techniques now exist to save the lives of half of these children. The techniques are medically effective, simple to use and low cost. The biggest task has been to inform parents about these life-saving techniques. Diarrhea (
25、腹泻 ) is the main cause of death among children in developing countries. Diarrhea results when the body tries to clear itself of harmful bacteria (细菌 ). The body does this by getting out liquids, sometimes uncontrollably. If too much water, sugar and salt are lost in this way, the body cannot work no
26、rmally. The child may die. The United Nations International Childrens Fund, UNICEF, introduces a technique. It uses a simple mixture of sugar and salt in water. The mixture does not stop diarrhea. But if used often as needed, it keeps fluid (体液 ) levels normal until the body bas fought off the harmf
27、ul bacteria. In Egypt, for example, the treatment was used in a childrens health care program in the province Alexandria. It reduced by one-half the number of deaths caused by diarrhea. The technique has now been used throughout the country. 56 According to the passage, a large number of children ca
28、n be saved only when_. （ A） the life-saving ways are medically effective （ B） their parents are rich enough for the life-saving techniques （ C） the life-saving techniques are easy to use （ D） their parents learn the life-saving techniques 57 Which of the following situations will cause the death of
29、a child? （ A） The child clears its body of bacteria. （ B） The body loses liquids without any control. （ C） The child has diarrhea in a developing country. （ D） The body controls its fluid levels. 58 When the mixture is used, it is important to_. （ A） keep sugar and salt in water （ B） drink it as oft
30、en as necessary （ C） take it as much as possible （ D） use it to kill the bacteria 59 Nipponex Electrics Tokyo, Japan 27 December 2005 Amperlite Ltd 146 O Leary St Dublin, Ireland Dear Sirs, Improved ways of production make us able to offer you our change of Drilite batteries (电池 ) at a reduced price
31、 for large quantities. Further information of the new prices for your market are sent to you together with the letter, and you will see that the price has already reduced 5 percent. As c. i. f (成本、保险加运费 ) to Dublin is included in our prices, you will agree that they are clearly lower than those of p
32、roducers of the same batteries, both here in Japan and elsewhere. The quality of our products remains the same-only the finest chemicals are used.

He compared the be
37、havior of 15 regular gamblers (赌徒 ) with those of 15 non-regular gamblers before and after they gambled. Both groups had increased heart rates during gambling because it was exciting. But the regular gamblers heart rates went down almost straight after the game, while the non-regulars remained excit
38、ed and had in- creased heart rates for longer. When the heart beat increases, the body produces one chemical called endorphins which make you feel good. Dr. Griffiths thinks that regular gamblers lose this good feeling soon after a game and need to play again quickly to regain the pleasure. He has a
39、lso discovered that regular gamblers have different psychological reactions (心理反应 ) from non-regular gamblers. In an experiment where regular and non-regular gamblers spoke their thoughts aloud while playing, regular gamblers had far more unreasonable thoughts. In their minds they turned losses into
40、 near wins. Dr. Griffiths thinks that nearly winning gives the gambler a high in the same way that a win would do. Based on Dr. Griffiths s research, doctors suggest that one way to help regular gamblers to give up gambling is to give them -blockers-drugs (受体阻滞药 ) that stop them getting a high in th
41、e first place. 63 Dr. Griffiths s research helps you find out_. （ A） which group of gamblers played the game better （ B） a chemical to increase gamblers heart beat （ C） a way to help gamblers give up gambling （ D） when gamblers should be given drugs 64 How did Dr. Griffiths discover the gamblers fee
42、lings when winning and losing? （ A） By examining the different chemicals in gamblers bodies. （ B） By asking the gamblers to speak aloud their feelings. （ C） By asking the gamblers to discuss their ideas （ D） By testing the gamblers heart beat. 65 The underlined words “a high“ probably mean “_“ （ A）
43、a feeling of happiness （ B） a reasonable thought （ C） a great expectation （ D） an exciting idea 66 According to the text, what do we know about non-regular gamblers? （ A） Their bodies produce less endorphins during the game. （ B） They dont consider losses in a game as reasonable near wins. （ C） Thei
44、r bodies have no reaction to beta blockers. （ D） They have faster heart rates during the game. 67 In period of the summer holidays there will be a revised schedule (修改过的时刻表 ) of serv-ices for the students.
