But a few years ago, scientists tried to find out how long the human brain could labor without reaching a stage of fatigue (疲劳)To the amazement of these scientists, they discovered that blood passing through the brain, when it is active, shows no fatigue at all! If we took a drop of blood from a day laborer, we would find it full of fatigue toxins(毒素) and fatigue products. But if we took blood from the brain of an Albert Einstein, it would show no fatigue toxins at the end of the day. So far as the brain is concerned, it can work as well and swiftly at the end of eight or even twelve hours of effort as at the beginning. The brain is totally tireless. So what makes us tired?Some scientists declare that most of our fatigue comes from our mental and emotional (情感的) attitudes. One of Englands most outstanding scientists，J. A. Hadfield，says，“The greater part of the fatigue from which we suffer is of mental origin. In fact, fatigue of purely physical origin is rare. ” Dr. Brill, a famous American scientist，goes even further. He declares，“One hundred percent of the fatigue of a sitting worker in good health is due to emotional problems. ”What kinds of emotions make sitting workers tired? Joy？Satisfaction？No！A feeling of being bored，anger，anxiety，tenseness, worry, a feeling of not being appreciatedthose are the emotions that tire sitting workers. Hard work by itself seldom causes fatigue. We get tired because our emotions produce nervousness in the body. 【解题导语】本文为一篇说明文，主要介绍了一项惊人的发现：脑力工作本身不会使人感到疲劳。21What surprised the scientists a few years ago?AFatigue toxins could hardly be found in a laborers blood. BAlbert Einstein didnt feel worn out after a days work. CThe brain could work for many hours without fatigue. DA mental workers blood was filled with fatigue toxins. 解析：选C细节理解题。根据第一段中的“To the amazement of these.shows no fatigue at all！”可知，让科学家惊讶的是大脑工作时不会显示出疲劳，故选C项。22According to the author, which of the following can make sitting workers tired?AChallenging mental work. BUnpleasant emotions. CEndless tasks. DPhysical labor. 解析：选B细节理解题。根据第三段最后一句话可知，导致我们疲劳的主要是不良的情绪，故选B项。23Whats the authors attitude towards the scientists ideas?AHe agrees with them. BHe doubts them. CHe argues against them. DHe hesitates to accept them. 解析：选A观点态度题。结合全文尤其是文章第一句话可知，作者对这一新的科学发现虽然感到震惊但又认为它是一个具有重要意义的事实，故选A项。24We can infer from the passage that in order to stay energetic, sitting workers need to _. Ahave some good foodBenjoy their workCexercise regularlyDdiscover fatigue toxins解析：选B推理判断题。由文章最后两段可知，导致我们疲劳的主要是不良的情绪，因此要想保持活力必须保持愉悦的心情，故选B项。BNew technology links the world as never before. Our planet has shrunk. Its now a “global village” where countries are only seconds away by fax or phone or satellite link. And, of course, our ability to benefit from this hightech communications equipment is greatly improved by foreign language skills. Deeply involved in this new technology are a group of modern business people who have a growing respect for the economic value of doing business abroad. In modern markets，success overseas often helps support domestic (国内的) business efforts. Overseas assignments are becoming increasingly important to advancement within executive(执行人员) ranks. The executive stationed in another country no longer need fear being“out of sight and out of mind. ” He or she can be sure that the overseas effort is central to the companys plan for success, and that promotions often follow or accompany an assignment abroad. If an employee can succeed in a difficult assignment overseas，superiors will have greater confidence in his or her ability to cope back in the United States where crosscultural considerations and foreign language issues are becoming more and more popular. Thanks to a variety of relatively inexpensive communications devices with business applications, even small businesses in the United States are able to get into international markets. English is still the international language of business. But there is an evergrowing need for people who can speak another language. A second language isnt generally required to get a job in business，but having language skills gives a candidate the edge when other qualifications appear to be equal. The employee posted abroad who speaks the countrys principal language has an opportunity to fastforward certain negotiations, and can have the cultural insight to know when it is better to move more slowly. The employee at the home office who can communicate well with foreign clients(客户)over the telephone or by fax machine is an obvious advantage to the firm. 【解题导语】本文主要介绍了高科技通信设备给商业人士带来的便利。熟练掌握外语能够更好地利用高科技通信设备，在求职时具有一定的优势。25What is the authors attitude toward hightech communications equipment？ACritical. BPrejudiced. CIndifferent. DPositive. 解析：选D推理判断题。由第一段文字可知，高科技通信设备使世界成为“地球村”；由第二、三段可知，利用高科技通信设备商人可以从容地掌控国内外市场；由最后两段可知，高科技通信设备在商业应用方面的作用。由此可推断出作者对高科技通信设备的态度是“肯定的”。26With the increased use of hightech communications equipment, business people _. Ahave to get familiar with modern technologyBare gaining more economic benefits from domestic operationsCare attaching more importance to their overseas businessDare eager to work overseas解析：选C细节理解题。由第二段中的“modern business people who have a growing respect for the economic value of doing business abroad”及第三、四段内容可知，随着高科技通信设备应用水平的提高，商人更加看重海外贸易。27In this passage，“out of sight and out of mind” probably means _. Abeing unable to think properly for lack of insightBbeing totally out of touch with business at homeCmissing opportunities for promotion when abroadDleaving all care and worry behind解析：选C细节理解题。由其后面的句子“.and that promotions often follow or accompany an assignment abroad”可知，“out of sight and out of mind”意为驻扎在别国的执行人员也无须再害怕错过推销产品的机会。28According to the passage，what is an important consideration of international corporations in employing people today?AConnections with businesses overseas. BAbility to speak the clients language. CTechnical knowhow. DBusiness experience. 解析：选B推理判断题。根据短文倒数第二段的最后一句话和短文的最后一句话可知，B项正确。CThe greatest artistic creative geniuses Ive ever seen have been those who can turn garbage into art, not just gluing together junk, but really making waste into something unique，cool，and good, something youd put into your home for instance. Theres something to be said about recycling and repurposing of those items we commonly throw away. The ability to take garbage and turn it into art，or something that is fascinating to look at is a skill all of its own. I have often said that the true geniuses of our time, that is to say, the creative genius artists of our era, are those who can do thiscreate art that can command a high price tag from junk. Over the years while traveling through the United States, I had gone into museums in many parts of the country. Some of the best art Ive ever seen in my life has come from garbage，trash, or junk that has been reworked and recycled into something spectacular. Best of all the artists dont have much in material cost. In fact they are using their minds to do a lot with very little. Just think if we have used all our minds to do this，how little we might actually throw away，and how more efficiently we could run our factories, production, and even households. The waste will end up in a landfill，or a dump somewhere, and eventually it will decay in the soil, perhaps causing ground water pollution. However, if we can repurpose these items for a couple of more rounds, and waste less, then we are providing efficiency for our civilization，and thats a good thing. Any artist who can do this is not only one making contributions to the environment, but also one making contributions to humanity, using their brain power and creative genius to make us all better. 【解题导语】用废弃物制作艺术品不仅能够体现艺术家的聪明才智，而且有利于环保。29What would be the best title for the text?ATurn Garbage into ArtBRecycle Garbage in a New WayCA New Kind of ArtDA New Way to Protect the Environment解析：选A主旨大意题。文章介绍了某些艺术家用废弃物制作艺术品，因此A项符合文章的主旨。30The author believes the art work created from junk _. Ais not suitable to be put in our homeBcannot be soldCcan be of great valueDwill end up in landfills解析：选C细节理解题。从文章第二段中的“.create art that can command a high price tag from junk”可知，作者认为用废弃物做出来的艺术品也可以拥有很高的价值。31We learn from the last paragraph that _. Areal artists are those making contributions to humanityBcreating art from garbage can also help protect the environmentCthere is no good way to deal with waste todayDa great amount of waste has been reused by artists解析：选B推理判断题。文章最后一段说明，用废弃物制作艺术品，不仅美化了我们的生活，而且能够保护环境。32Whats the authors attitude towards the artists who turn garbage into art?ANeutral. BPitiful. CDoubtful. DRespectful. 解析：选D推理判断题。综合分析全文可知，作者显然对能用废弃物制作艺术品的艺术家充满了敬意。DChildren form opinions about drugs and alcohol at a very early age. Even fourand fiveyearolds have definite opinions about alcohol. Preschoolers, because of the advertisements they see on TV, often think that alcohol helps people have more fun and be better athletes! Images of alcohol are everywhere in our societyconsumption of alcohol is depicted (描述)twice per hour in daytime shows, and three times in an average evening program. Despite the prevalence (盛行)of alcohol in our society，and the problems that can be associated with it, many parents feel uncomfortable when talking about alcohol with their children, or are not sure when and how to start. Many parents believe that teenage drinking is something that their children would never be involved in. Unfortunately, teenage drinking is very common in North Dakota. In a statewide survey of adolescents in junior and senior high school, only 24% claimed to have never consumed alcohol. When asked about their drinking in the past 30 days：61% adolescents reported drinking42% drank five or more drinks in a row17% reported binge drinking (无节制饮酒)4. 2 % reported driving and drinkingOther research on rural youth in North Dakota has found about 10% of a sample of fifth and sixth graders to be engaged in frequent drinking. Teenagers who were reported alcohol use (especially those who began use in late elementary school and junior high school) were more likely to be depressed, felt less positive about both their family and friends，and had poorer gra
