So the next day I made a(n) 22 . “Every Friday from now on, Im going to take one student to lunch at Burger King. Every week, Ill randomly 23 a name. By the end of the year, everyone will have had a 24 .”Students sat up with interest as I picked the first name. I got the feeling that many of them didnt go out to eat very often- 25 to a fast food place. Maybe this was a good idea. After the first outing, I was sure of it. It had been fun, and everyone- 26 me- needed some fun in life.The month went on. Every Friday, the chosen student and I chatted over hamburgers, fries and Cokes. I 27 discussed behavior during those lunches, choosing instead to focus on family, hobbies, and friends.In fact, not much changed with many of my students. But 28 the same time ,Im glad for what I did so.

In discussion of technological changes,the Internet gets most of the attention these days.But the change in medicine can be the real technological event of our times.How long can humans live? Human brains were known to decide the final death.Cells are the basic units of all living things,and until recently,scientists were sure that the life of cells could not go much beyond 120 years because the basic materials of cells,such as those of brain cells,would not last forever.But the upper limits will be broken by new medicine.Sometime between 2050 and 2100,medicine will have advanced to the point at which every 10 years or so,people will be able to take medicine to repair their organs(器官).The medicine,made up of the basic building materials of life,will build new brain cells,heart cells,and so onin much the same way our bodies make new skin cells to take the place of old ones. It is exciting to imagine that the advance in technology may be changing the most basic condition of human existence,but many technical problems still must be cleared up on the way to this wonderful future.31. According to the passage,human death is now mainly caused by _. A. diseases and aging B. accidents and war C.accidents and aging D.heart disease and war32. In the authors opinion the most important technology lies in_ A. medicine B. the internet C. brain cells D. human organs33. Humans may live longer in the future because_ A. heart disease will be far away from us B. human brain can decide the final death C. the basic materials of cells will last forever D. human organs can be repaired by new medicine34. We can learn from the passage that_. A. human life will last more than 120 years in the future B. humans have to take medicine to build new skin cells now C. much needs to be done before humans can have a longer life D. we have already solved the technical problems in building new cells B Erica David lives in Pinedale,Wyoming，USA，where winter can bring temperatures of below 35 degrees Fahrenheit，howling winds，and a lot of snowSo it was just natural that she chose to study snow for her school science fair in the sixth gradeNow a junior in high school，Erica is in her sixth year of snow experiments，and is well on her way to becoming a snow expertShe started with a basic question：Could snow fences be built to work better? Snow fences are used to keep snowdrifts（雪堆）from covering areas like roads of train tracks，or to help build up snow where it can help with water shortages in spring when it melts（融化）“Also，I wanted to protect my animals better from blowing snow，”says Erica，who raises goats，sheep，and pigs Before she could test fence designs，Erica had to figure out what would act like real snow in her experiments. “I tested flour, sugar, and salt before I settled on dishwasher powder , ”she explains. Science fairs offer students the chance to test theories, present findings to judges, and meet other researchers. Ericas many achievements include competing at the Discovery Channel Young Scientist Challenge for middle school students and the Intel International Science and Engineering Fair, where students from around the world present their science research. But perhaps the best reward is that her research is already being put to good use. She has come up with an improved snow fence design, and this year shes helping think out how to provide water supply to native plants, which have been killed off by drilling at nearby natural gasfields. “Science fairs are an amazing experience,”says Erica. “Just pick your true feeling and go for it. ”35. What does the passage suggest to us? A. Science fairs are held for high school students in America. B. Erica is the youngest show expert well known in America. C. The environment brought much convenience for Erica to study snow. D. The hope to contribute to her hometown made Erica experiment on snow.36. In Ericas hometown, snow fences may play a part in _. a. reducing the harm blowing snow does to animals b. supplying water resource to the nearby gas fields c. making up for the lack of water resource. d. keeping the traffic smooth A. a,b,c          B. a,b,d             C. b,c,d            D. a,c,d37. Science fairs are attractive to students because they _. A. can have their research put into practical use B. can have their scientific ideas tested out C. are allowed to help protect the local wildlife D. can learn about the most advanced technology38. Which of the following material can best replace snowing in Ericas experiment? A. Flour.         B. Sugar.           C. Salt.             D. Dishwasher powder.  CIf you want to stay young, sit down and have a good think. This is the research finding of a team of Japanese doctors, who say that most of our brains are not getting enough exercise and ,as a result, we are growing old unnecessarily soon. Professor Taiju Matsuzawa wanted to find out why quite healthy farmers in northern Japan appeared to be losing their ability to think and reason at a rather early age, and how the speed of getting old could be slowed down. With a team of researchers at Tokyo National University, he set about measuring brains volumes of a thousand people of different ages with different jobs. Computer technology helped the researchers to get most exact measurements of the volume of the front and side parts of the brain, which have something to do with thinking and feeling, and decide the human character. As we all know, the back part of the brain, which controls task like eating and breathing, does not contract (萎缩) with age. Contraction of front and side parts, as cells ( 细胞 ) die off, was seen in some people in their thirties, but it was still not found in some sixty and seventy-year-olds. Matsuzawa concluded from his tests that there is a simple way to prevent the contractionusing the head. The findings show that contraction of the brain begins sooner in people in the country than in the towns. Those with least possibility, says Matsuzawa, are lawyers, followed by university professors and doctors. White- collar workers doing the same work day after day in government offices are, however, as possible to have contracting brains as the farm workers, bus drivers and shop assistants.39. The team of doctors wanted to find out_. A. how to make people live longer B. how to slow down the speed of getting old C. the size of certain peoples brains D. which people are the most clever40. Their research findings are based on _. A. an examination of farmers in northern Japan B. tests given on a thousand old people C. using computer technology D. examining the brain volumes of different people41. According to the article, _are growing mentally old earlier. A. engineers B. office clerks C. professors D. researchers42. The most possible conclusion of the article is that _. A. most of us should take more exercise B. its better to live in the towns C. the brain contracts if it is not used D. the more one uses his brain, the sooner he becomes old DBirds in cites are damaging their health by trying to sing above the noise of urban life.New research shows that male birds are trying to compete against traffic and city sounds.They are now singing louder and at higher frequencies, which could harm their vocal cords. Some birds are choosing to sing at night instead of during the day. This makes them more open to attack and also creates stress and exhaustion.“The difference between urban and rural birdsong is becoming so big that the two groups could now be unable to communicate. This could lead to inbreeding and a weak gene pool,” said Dr. Sue Anne Zollinger of the university of ST.Andrew.According to Zollinger, a bird group with a small gene pool might adapt less quickly to new diseases and could be wiped out.A study of the dawn chorus found that birds in Berlin sang up to 14 decibels(分贝) louder than those in the forest. The birds sang loudest on weekday morning.“ By trying to sing over the sound of the city, birds are risking vocal injury,”Said Zollinger. “All this puts the same strain on a birds vocal cord as when a human tries to shout to be heard in a noisy pub-except the birds are doing it all day, every day,” she said. “Singing under such pressure means birds have less control over the sound they produce. Their sound may lose quality and become more rough-sounding,” said Zollinger, “ This could make them appear less attractive to female birds.”Mark Constantine, author of The Sound Approach to Birding, said,” Birdsong is important for quality of life and has been proved to reduce our blood pressure. When we live in the centre of large, urban areas, we get stressed and its extremely good to have birdsong around us.The impact on humans of birdsong is massive. It harms us, as well as the birds, if their songs become louder and simple.” 43. Some birds in cities now choose to sing at night time because_.A. they want to attract more birds of opposite sexB. they are more likely to be discovered by their familyC. they cant ad
