25、n Space 20 The Chinese have used a method called acupuncture(针灸 )to perform, operations for about 4,000 years without putting the patient to sleep. This involves placing flexible needles into certain parts of the body. The needles are available in a number of stores in China and anyone may buy them.
26、 To learn how to use the needles takes about one month of training. But to be skillful requires greater time. The person who performs the acupuncture knows how to put in the needles so the needles themselves are not painful. This person also knows where to place the needles so the patient feels no p
27、ain in the area where the operation is to be performed. A particular operation might require 25 or more needles placed in various parts of the body. But now this operation requires only 3 or 4 needles. Today, the Chinese doctors are trying to learn more about acupuncture. They are trying to develop
28、a convincing theory to explain how the needles work in preventing pain, or why a needle in the wrist, for example, would prevent the pain in the area of the mouth. A patient who needs an operation is given a choice between having acupuncture or having one of the chemicals used for putting him to sle

34、n closest to the antenna(天线 ). But whether that causes any harm is not clear, scientists at the National Institute of Health said at a conference last month, adding that the study will not likely settle concerns of a link between cell phones and brain cancer. “What we showed is glucose(葡萄糖 )metaboli
35、sm(代谢 )(a sign of brain activity)increases in the brain in people who were exposed to a cell phone in the area closest to the antenna,“ said Dr. Nora Volkow of the NIH, whose study was published in the Journal of the American Medical Association. The study was meant to examine how the brain reacts t
36、o electromagnetic fields caused by wireless phone signals. Volkow said she was surprised that the weak electromagnetic radiation(电磁辐射 )from cell phones could affect brain activity, but she said the findings do not shed any light on whether cell phones cause cancer. “This study does not in any way in
37、dicate that. What the study does is to show the human brain is sensitive to electromagnetic radiation from cell phone exposures. “ Use of the devices has increased dramatically since they were introduced in the early 1955 s, with about 5 billion cell phones now in use worldwide. Some studies have li
38、nked cell phone exposure to an increased risk of brain cancers, but a large study by the World Health Organization did not offer a clear answer to this. Volkow s team studied 47 people who had their brain examined while a cell phone was turned on for 50 minutes and another while the phone was turned
39、 off. While there was no complete change in brain metabolism, they found a 7 percent increase in brain metabolism in the region closest to the cell phone antenna when the phone was on. Experts said the results were interesting, but urged that they be understood with great care. “ Although the biolog
40、ical significance, if any, of increased glucose metabolism from too much cell phone exposure is unknown, the results require further investigation,“ Henry Lai of the University of Washington in the U. S. and Dr. Lennart Hardell of University Hospital in Sweden, wrote in an article in JAMA. “Much has
41、 to be done to further investigate and understand these effects. “ They wrote. 26 According to the passage, which of the following is TRUE? （ A） Cell phone use is dangerous. （ B） Cell phone use causes cancer. （ C） The human brain is an electromagnetic field. （ D） There are about 5 billion cell phone
42、 users in the world right now. 27 Doctor Volkow was astonished because_. （ A） her research has shed light on her understanding of cell phone （ B） she found that cell phone exposure is harmful to human brain （ C） she found that using a cell phone for about 50 minutes could influence or change brain a
43、ctivity （ D） human brain is not responsive to electromagnetic radiation 28 According to the passage, cell phones were launched_. （ A） in the late 1970s （ B） between 1955 and 1960 （ C） in the late 1955s （ D） in the early 1990s 29 What does the word “that“ stand for in the second paragraph? （ A） Brain
44、 activity. （ B） Her research findings. （ C） The fact that cell phone use may cause cancer. （ D） Her research progress. 30 Which of the following is an appropriate title for this passage? （ A） Cell Phone Radiation: Is It Harmful? （ B） Cell Phone Radiation: Is It Useful? （ C） Cell Phone Radiation: Is
45、It Healthy? （ D） Cell Phone Radiation: Is It Weak? 三、 Part II Vocabulary and Structure (30%) Directions: In this part, there are 30 incomplete sentences.
