11、eptics are a strange lot. Some of them refuse to admit the serious threat of human activities to the environment, and they are tired of people who disagree with them. Those people, say skeptics, spread nothing but bad news about the environment. The “eco-guilt” brought on by the discouraging news ab

12、out our planet gives rise to the popularity of skeptics as people search for more comforting worldviews.Perhaps that explain why a new book by Bjorn Lomborg received so much publicity. That book, The Skeptical Environmentalist, declares that it measures the “real state of the world” as fine. Of cour

13、se, another explanation is the deep pockets some big businesses with special interests. Indeed, Mr. Lomborgs views are similar to those of some Industry-funded organizations, which start huge activities though the media to confuse the public about issues like global warming.So it was strange to see

14、Mr. Lomborgs book go largely unchallenged in the media though his beliefs were contrary to most scientific opinions. One national newspaper in Canada ran a number of articles and reviews full of words of praise, even with the conclusion that “After Lomborg, the environmental movement will begin to d

15、ie down.”Such one-sided views should have immediately been challenged. But only a different review appeared in Nature, a respected science magazine with specific readership. The review remarked that Mr. Lomborgs “preference for unexamined materials is incredible (不可信的)”。A critical (批判的) eye is valua

16、ble, and the media should present information in such a way that could allow people to make informed decisions. Unfortunately, that is often inaccessible as blocked by the desire to be shocking or to defend some special interests. People might become half-blind before a world partially exhibited by

17、the media. Thats a shame, because matters concerning the health of the planet are far too important to be treated lightly.1、 According to the passage, which of the following may be regarded as “skeptics”?APeople who agree on the popularity of “eco-guilt”.BPeople who disbelieve the serious situation

18、of our planet.CPeople who dislike the harmful effect of human activities.DPeople who spread comforting news to protect our environment.2、Which of the following can be a reason for the popularity of Lomborgs books?ASome big businesses intend to protect their own interests. B The book challenges views

19、 about the fine state of the world.CThe author convinces people to seek comforting worldviews.DIndustryfunded media present confusing information.3、The author mentioned the review in Nature in order to_.Avoice a different opinionBfind fault with Lomborgs book Cchallenge the authority of the mediaDpo

20、int out the value of scientific views.4、What is the authors main purpose in writing the passage?ATo encourage the skeptics to have a critical eye.BTo warn the public of the danger of halfblindness with reviews.CTo blame the medias lack of responsibility in presenting information.DTo show the importa

21、nce of presenting overall information by the media.22（8分）To help make up for sleep lost during marathon night flights, migrating( 迁徙 ) birds take hundreds of power nap(小睡) during the day, each lasting a few seconds.Every autumn, Swainsons thrushes(画眉) fly up to 3,000 miles from their breeding ground

22、s in northern Canada and Alaska to winter in Central and South America. Come spring, the birds make the long trip back.The birds fly mostly at night and often for long hours at a time, leaving little time for sleep. So to get through these tiresome periods, thrushes, during autumn and spring when th

23、e birds are normally migrating, change their sleep patterns, staying awake at night and resting during day. But instead of sleeping for a long period at a time, the birds took several naps a day, each one lasting only 9 seconds on average.The thrushes also mixed up their shut-eye sessions with two o

24、ther forms of sleep. In one, called unilateral eye closure, or UEC, the birds rested one eye and one half of their brains while their other eye and half brain remained open and active, protecting them from danger.The birds also occasionally slipped into another state, one that any college student wh

25、o has ever been stuck in a boring lecture can relate to. Called drownsiness( 睡 意 ), this state is characterized by a partial shutting of both eyes that still allows for some visual processing.“In terms of quality, drowsiness may be less useful than normal sleep, but it may also be safer.” said Fuchs

26、.Whats interesting is that even animals should make up for sleep loss. That a need for sleep cannot be lost even in these birds means the importance of sleep for many, if not all, animals, not to mention human.1、What would be the best title for the text?AMigrating Birds Travel for Long HoursBMigrati

A

29、ccording to researchers at the Lyon Nero-science Research Center in France, high-recall dreamers reported they remembered their dreams almost every day while low-recall dreamers said they only remembered their dreams once or twice a month, reported Live Science.Perrine Ruby,a lead scientist at the r

30、esearch center in Lyon, studied 41 people (21 high-recall dreamers and 20 low-recall dreamers) and recorded their brain activity. She found that a part of the brain called the temporo-parietal junction ( 颞顶叶交界处）was more active in high-recall dreamers. This was true both when they were sleeping and a

31、wake. This area of the brain is responsible for collecting and processing information from the outside world. This means that high-recall dreamers are more sensitive to what is happening around them. For example, when they are awake, they respond more strongly to hearing their own names. When they a

32、re sleeping, they tend to be woken up more easily by sounds and movements.By closely studying peoples brain activity, Ruby found that high-recall dreamers have twice as much “wakefulness time” during sleep as low-recall dreamers do. And it is during these short periods of wakefulness that the brain

33、memorizes dreams.This is not hard to understand. Just try to think of your own sleeping experience. If you are restless during the night, you are more likely to remember your dreams, but if you sleep well and soundly, you tend to remember very little in the morning. This is because “you never get a

34、chance to remember”, Robert Stickgold, a Harvard Medical School researcher, told The Washington Post.As another research project at the University of Turku in Finland showed, dream content can also affect our memory. Negative dreams are easier to recall than ordinary dreams. Nightmares are often rec

35、alled because they are emotionally negative, and such dreams cause fear.1、What can we know about high-recall dreamers according to the article?AThey have very little brain activity when they sleep.BThey can remember their dreams clearly.CThey dont know how to describe their dreams.DThey cant remembe

36、r their dreams.2、Which is true about low-recall dreamers compared to high-recall dreamers?AThey have higher quality sleep.BThey have more sleepless nightsCThey are more easily woken at night.DThey respond faster when hearing their names.3、What is the main purpose of the second to last paragraph?ATo

37、explain Rubys findings.BTo attract readers, interest in future studies.CTo show the advantages of being a low-recall dreamer.DTo suggest what to do to become a low-recall dreamer.4、What did the research project in Finland find?AOrdinary dreams can help our brain rest.BDreams are often affected by ou

Sam and I developed a very special bond over the next years.At on

39、e point, my husband and I decided to move to a new home in New Jersey. Our neighbor, whose cat had recently had kittens, asked if we would like one. We were a little apprehensive about Sams jealousy and how he would handle his turf（地盘）being invaded, but we decided to risk it.We picked a little, gray

40、, playful ball of Fur. She raced around chasing imaginary mice and squirrels and jumped from table to chair in the blink of an eye, so we named her Lightning.At first, Sam and Lightning were very cautious with each other and kept their distance. But slowly, Lightning started following Sam up the sta

41、irs, down the stairs, into the kitchen. Later, when they slept, it was always together; when they ate, it was always next to each other. When I took either one out, the other was always waiting by the door when we returned. That was the way it was for years.Then, without any warning, Sam was diagnos

42、ed as having a weak heart. I had no other choice but to have him put down. The pain was nothing compared with what I experienced when I had to walk into our house alone. This time, there was no Sam for Lightning to greet and no way to explain why she would never see her friend again.In the following

43、 days, Lightning seemed heart-broken. I could see the disappointment in her eyes whenever anyone opened the front door, or the hope whenever she heard a dog bark.One day as I walked into our living room, I happened to see Lightning was lying next to the sculptured replica（复制品）of Sam that we had boug

But the 1 thing is that the French, who consume rich food, 2

54、 to stay thin. Now a 3 by Cornell University suggests 4 life style and decisions about 5 may affect weight. Researchers concluded that the French tend to stop eating when they feel 6 . However, Americans tend to stop when their 7 are empty or their favorite TV show is over.According to Dr. Joseph Me

55、rcola, a 8 expert, the French see eating 9 an important part of their life style. They enjoy food and therefore spend a 10 time at the table, while Americans see eating as 11 to be squeezed between the other daily activities. Mercola believes Americans 12 the ability to sense when they are actually

56、full. So they keep eating long after the French would have 13 . In addition, he points out that Americans drive to huge supermarkets to buy canned and 14 foods for the week.
