16、rt40 I took someone s umbrella_.（A）by heart（B） by nature（C） by mistake（D）by the way40 I suppose that the most basic and powerful way to connect to another person is to listen. Just listen. Perhaps the most important thing we ever give each other is our attention, and especially if it s given from th
17、e heart. When people are talking, there s no need to do anything but receive them. Listen to what theyre saying. Care about it. Most times caring about it is even more important than understanding it. Most of us don t value ourselves or our love enough to know this. It has taken me a long time to be
18、lieve in the power of simple saying “Im so sorry. “ when someone is in pain.One of my patients told me that when she tried to tell her story people often interrupted to tell her that they once had something just like that happening to them. Her pain became a story about themselves. Eventually she st
19、opped talking to most people. We connect through listening. When we interrupt what someone is saying to let them know that we understand, we move the focus of attention to ourselves. When we listen, they know we care. I have even learned to respond to someone crying by just listening. In the old day
20、s I used to reach for the handkerchiefs, until I realized that passing a person a handkerchief may be just another way to shut him down, to take them out of their experience of sadness. Now I just listen. When they have cried all they need to cry, they find me there with them.This simple thing has n
21、ot been that easy to learn. It certainly went against everything I had been taught since I was very young. I thought people listened only because they were too shy to speak or did not know the answer. But now I know that a loving silence often has far more power to heal than the kindest words.41 Wha
22、t does the author value most in the communication with each other?（A）Deep understanding.（B） Saying “Im sorry“.（C） Attention from heart.（D）Doing nothing.42 The woman s patient stopped telling her story to most people because_.（A）she didn t get enough respect from others（B） she was discouraged by bein
23、g often interrupted（C） people often told her their own opinions（D）people couldn t understand her sad situation43 If you hand a handkerchief to someone crying, you may_.（A）hurt his feelings（B） make him embarrassed（C） encourage him to continue to cry（D）stop him from letting out his sorrow44 It can be
24、inferred from the passage that while communicating, _.（A）listening is a perfect way to respond to others（B） people keep silent because they dont know the answer（C） keeping silent means being too shy to speak（D）it is easy to form the habit of listening silently45 Which of the following might be the a
25、uthor s opinion about communication?（A）Keep silent.（B） Just listen.（C） Be careful.（D）Tell your own story.45 The pleasures which a movie offers to our eyes have been paid for with the loss of sight of a man whose name is hardly known outside the annals of scienceJoseph Plateau, a Belgian professor, b
26、orn in Brussels in 1801.He studied the mechanism of sight, beginning a series of most dangerous experiments at the age of 28 by staring into the sun for 25 seconds to see what the effect on his eyes would be. He was blind for nearly a month. But he went on experimenting, increasing the length of tim
27、e during which he looked into the sun, knowing that in the end this would cost him his sight. At the age of 42 he was completely and incurably blind: the sun had destroyed the retina (视网膜) of his eyes. But he continued to work as well as he could until he died at the age of 82.Science profited enorm
28、ously from his research. He studied the so-called “inertia of the eye(视觉暂留 ) “ which makes a picture remain on the retina for about one-sixth of a second after it has disappeared from our vision. This means that, if we see a succession of individual pictures each of which appears only for a fraction
29、 of a second, they “ overlap“ in our brain: and if they show consecutive phases of movement, that movement will appear to us to be continuous.46 Plateau s experiments were the first step leading to the invention of_.（A）eyeglasses（B） telescopes（C） bifocals（D）motion pictures47 The result of Plateau s
30、first experiment was that_.（A）he went permanently blind（B） he stopped staring into the sun（C） he went blind for a month（D）he found what he was looking for48 A picture remains on the retina for_.（A）6 seconds（B） 1 second（C） 16 seconds（D）1/6 of a second49 The images that we see are recorded in_.（A）the
31、brain（B） the eye（C） the retina of eye（D）the pupil50 Motion pictures_.（A）cause inertia of the eye（B） show a succession of unrelated movement（C） show consecutive phases of movement which appear continuous（D）show each phase of movement for one-half of a second50 Many people believe the glare from snow
32、causes snow blindness. Yet, with dark glasses or not, they find themselves suffering from headaches and watering eyes, and even snow blindness, when exposed to several hours of “snow light“ .The United States Army has now determined that the glare from snow does not cause snow blindness in troops in
33、 a snow-covered country. Rather, a man s eyes frequently find nothing to focus on in a broad expanse of a snow-covered area. So his gaze continually shifts and jumps back and forth over the entire landscape in search of something to look at. Finding nothing, hour after hour, the eyes never stop sear
34、ching and the eyeballs become sore and the eye muscle aches. Nature balances this annoyance by producing more and more liquid which covers the eyeballs. The liquid covers the eyeballs in increasing quantity until vision blurs. And the result is total, even though temporary, snow blindness.Experiment
35、s led the Army to a simple method of overcoming this problem. Scouts (侦察兵) ahead of a main body of troops are trained to shake snow from evergreen bushes, creating a dotted line as they cross completely snow-covered landscape. Even the scouts themselves throw lightweight, dark-colored objects ahead
36、on which they can focus too. The men following can then see something. Their gaze is arrested. Their eyes focus on a bush and having found something to see, stop searching through the snow-blanketed landscape. By focusing their attention on one object at a time, the man can cross the snow without be
37、coming hopelessly snow blind or lost. In this way the problem of crossing a solid white area is overcome.51 To prevent headache, watering eyes and blindness caused by the glare from snow, dark glasses are_.（A）indispensable（B） useful（C） ineffective（D）available52 The eyeballs become sore and the eye m
38、uscles ache because_.（A）tears cover the eyeballs（B） the eyes are annoyed by blinding sunlight（C） the eyes are annoyed by blinding snow（D）there is nothing to focus on53 When the eyes are sore, tears are produced to_.（A）clear the vision（B） remedy snow blindness（C） ease this annoyance（D）loosen the musc
39、les54 Snow-blindness may be avoided by_.（A）concentrating on the solid white terrain（B） searching for something to look at in snow-covered terrain（C） providing the eyes with something to focus on（D）covering the eyeballs with fluid55 A suitable tide for the passage would be_.（A）Snow Blindness and How
40、to Overcome It（B） Natures Cure for Snow Blindness（C） Oldie s in the Snow（D）Snow Vision55 Imagine an animal that becomes frozen in cold weather. Then, when it gets warmer, the animal simply unfreezes and goes back to it$ normal life. Although this may sound like something from a science-fiction movie
41、, it is exactly what happens to the wood frog over winter and spring. When winter begins, the frog, which is found throughout much of Canada, buries itself in leaves and dirt.As the ground begins to freeze, so does the frog s body.Normally, if a living creature is frozen, the cells inside its body a
42、re destroyed, leading to death. How, then, does the wood frog survive? The secret lies in the fact that although the water between the cells in the frog s body becomes frozen, the water inside the cells does not freeze. Before the winter begins, the frog stores starch in its body. As the weather get
43、s colder, the drop in temperature causes the frogs body to change this starch into glucose (葡萄糖). This glucose, in turn, lowers the temperature at which the liquid inside the frog s cells freezes. As a result, the cells do not freeze even at very low temperatures, allowing the frog to stay alive. So
44、me wood frogs stay in this frozen statewith their hearts stopped completelyfor months without harm.Now researchers are hoping to adapt the wood frog s secret to help them preserve human organs for transplants. Currently, after organs are removed from a donor s body, they are packed in a special liqu
45、id and kept very cold. However, they cannot be frozen because the ice would damage the cells in the organs. For this reason, the organs must be used quickly. If doctors had a way to preserve organs longer, they would have more time to find the best matches among people waiting for organ transplants.
46、There is still a lot about the wood frog that scientists do not understand. They still have to work out, for example, exactly how the frog is able to unfreeze itself and what actually restarts the frog s heart when the weather becomes warmer. What is clear, however, is that lessons learned by studyi
47、ng this tiny creature could be of great benefit to humans in the near future.56 The wood frog is unusual because it_.（A）can move about easily on frozen ground（B） buries itself in leaves and dirt at the start of spring（C） survives even after its body has become frozen（D）lives a normal life even in ve
48、ry cold weather57 What effect does the glucose produced in the wood frog s body have?（A）It stops the water in the frog s cells from freezing in cold weather.（B） It lowers the temperature in the spaces between the frog s cells.（C） It causes the frog s cells to produce more starch.（D）It allows the frog s cells to produce more water.58 Researchers are hoping to use the wood frogs secret to allow them to_.（A）use transplant organs more quickly（B） remove organs from a donor more easily（C） unfreeze transplant organs with chemicals from the frogs（D）keep transplant organs long
