During a routine warm-up vault (跳马), Sang landed on her head and suffered an injury that left her paralyzed from the chest down. Ten years later, she is a college graduate, and has many admirers.According to New York Times, what happened was that, as Sang was making her sprint (短跑) down the runway, a coach moved the springboard (跳板) in a misguided (搞错的) attempt to help her. She was running at full speed, and had no time to stop. Unfortunately, there was no cushion to receive her fall. I heard a terrible sound, Octavian Belu, the Romanian coach, said at the time. I dont feel bad about it now, Sang said in an interview over the weekend, explaining that she still follows gymnastics. She provided her professional opinion on television and on the Internet during the Beijing Olympics. Ive had to learn to face reality. Sometimes, when I watch old videos of me flying in gymnastics, Im proud that I used to be so good.Shes getting on with her life. At Peking University, from which Sang graduated last year with a broadcasting (播音) degree, friends had to carry her up stairs from class to class. She has her own caretaker (看护) and a personal assistant, or manager, provided to her by Chinas General Sports Administration. I cant say I never feel regret, but I never plain, Sang said.

The latest research indicates that mens hearts going into a rapid decline when they reach middle age could be the cause. The research of ageing on the heart has shown that womens longevity may be linked to the fact that their hearts do not lose much pumping power with age. “We have found that the power of the male heart falls by 20-25 percent between 20 and 70 years of age,” said the head of the study, Samantha of Liverpool John Moores University in the UK. “Within the heart there are millions of cells which make it beat. Between the ages of 20 and 70, one-third of those cells die and are not replaced in men,” said Samantha. “This is part of the ageing process.” What amazes scientists is that the female heart suffers very little loss of these cells. A healthy 70-year-old womans heart could work almost as perfectly as a 20-year-old ones.“This gender difference might give the reason why men live shorter than women, ” said Samantha. They studied over 250 healthy men and women between the ages of 17 and 80, who are mainly healthy persons so as to reduce the influence of disease. “ The team has yet to think about why ageing suffers a greater loss on the male heart, ” said Samantha.But there is also good news- men can enjoy the health of their hearts with regular exercise. Samantha stressed that women should also take regular exercise to stop their leg muscles getting weaker as they age.24.The underlined word “ longevity ” in the second paragraph means _.A. health B. long life C. ageing D. effect25.The text mainly talks about _.A. mens heart cells B. womens ageing processC. the gender difference D. hearts and long life26.According to the text, the UK scientists have known that _.A. men have fewer cells than women when they were bornB. women can produce the cells that make the heart beatC. the female heart suffers less loss of the cells with ageD. women will never suffer the loss of pumping power with age27.If you want to live a long life, you should _. A. enable your heart to beat much fasterB. think about the reason for ageingC. take regular exerciseD. stop your cells from being lostCIn ancient Egypt，the pharaoh（法老）treated the poor message runner like a prince when he arrived at the palace, if he brought good news. However，if the exhausted runner had the misfortune to bring the pharaoh unhappy news，his head was cut off.Shades of that spirit spread over todays conversations. Once a friend and I packed up some peanut butter and sandwiches for an outing. As we walked light-heartedly out of the door，picnic basket in hand，a smiling neighbor looked up at the sky and said，Oh boy，bad day for a picnic. The weatherman says its going to rain. I wanted to strike him on the face with the peanut butter and sandwiches. Not for his stupid weather report，for his smile.Several months ago I was racing to catch a bus. As I breathlessly put my handful of cash across the Greyhound counter，the sales agent said with a broad smile，Oh that bus left five minutes ago. Dreams of head-cutting！ Its not the news that makes someone angry. Its the unsympathetic attitude with which its delivered. Everyone must give bad news from time to time， and winning professionals do it with the proper attitude. A doctor advising a patient that she needs an operation does it in a caring way. A boss informing an employee he didnt get the job takes on a sympathetic tone. Big winners know，when delivering any bad news，they should share the feeling of the receiver. Unfortunately，many people are not aware of this. When youre tired from a long flight，has a hotel clerk cheerfully said that your room isnt ready yet？When you had your heart set on the toast beef，has your waiter merrily told you that he just served the last piece？It makes you as traveler or diner want to land your fist right on their unsympathetic faces. Had my neighbor told me of the uping rainstorm with sympathy，I would have appreciated his warning. Had the Greyhound salesclerk sympathetically informed me that my bus had already left，I probably would have said，Oh，thats all right Ill catch the next one. Big winners，when they bear bad news，deliver bombs with the emotion the bombarded（被轰炸的）person is sure to have.28. In Paragraph 1，the writer tells the story of the pharaoh to _. A. make a parison B. introduce a topic C. describe a scene D. offer an argument 29. In the writers opinion，his neighbor was _. A. friendly B. warm-hearted C. not considerate D. not helpful 30.

Learning ancient traditions can be useful.DBirds that are half-asleepwith one brain hemisphere (半球) alert and the other sleepingcontrol which side of the brain remains awake, according to a new study of sleeping ducks. Earlier studies have documented half-brain sleep in a wide range of birds. The brain hemispheres take turns sinking into the sleep stage characterized by slow brain waves. The eye controlled by the sleeping hemisphere keeps shut, while the wakeful hemispheres eye stays open and alert. Birds also can sleep with both hemispheres resting at once. Decades of studies of bird groups led researchers to predict extra alertness in the end-of-the-row sleepers which tend to be attacked more easily. Sure enough, the end birds tended to watch carefully on the side away from their panions. Ducks in the inner spots showed no preference for gaze direction. Also, birds napping at the end of the line depend on single-hemisphere sleep, rather than total relaxation, more often than inner ducks did. Turning 16 birds through the positions in a four-duck row, the researchers found that pared with 12 percent for birds in internal spots, outer birds half-asleep during some 32 percent of napping time. “We believe this is the first evidence for an animal behaviorally controlling sleep and wakefulness at the same time in different regions of the brain,” the researchers say. The results provide the best evidence for a long-standing assumption that single-hemisphere sleep evolved as creatures scanned for enemies. The preference for opening an eye on the lookout side could be widespread, he predicts. Hes seen it in a pair of birds napping side-by-side in the zoo and in a single pet bird sleeping by a mirror. The mirror-side eye closed as if the reflection were a panion and the other eye stayed open. Useful as half-sleeping might be, its only been found in birds and such water animals as dolphins, whales, and seals. Perhaps keeping one side of the brain awake allows a sleeping animal to surface occasionally to avoid drowning. Studies of birds may offer unique insights into sleep. Jerome M. Siegel of the UCLA says he wonders if birds half-brain sleep “is just the tip of the iceberg.” He supposes that more examples may turn up when we take a closer look at other species.32.According to the passage, birds often half sleep because _.A. their brain hemispheres take turns to restB. they have to watch out for possible attacksC. the two halves of their brain are differently structuredD. they have to constantly keep an eye on their panions33. What is implied about the example of a birds sleeping in front of a mirror?A. An imagined panion gives the bird a sense of security.B. Birds prefer to sleep in pairs for the sake of their security.C. The phenomenon of birds napping in pairs is widespread.D. A single pet bird enjoys seeing its own reflection in the mirror.34. While sleeping, some water animals tend to keep half awake in order to _.A. alert themselves to the approaching enemyB. emerge from water now and then to breatheC. be sensitive to the ever-changing environmentD. avoid being swept away by rapid currents35. By saying “just the tip of the iceberg”, Siegel suggests that _.A. half-brain sleep has something to do with icy weatherB. the mystery of half-brain sleep is close to being solvedC. most birds living in cold regions tend to be half sleepersD. half-brain sleep may exist among other species第二节 （共5小题；每小题2分，满分10分）根据短文内容，从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。36 .
