阅读下列短文，从每题所给的四个选项(A、B、C和D)中，选出最佳答案，并在答题卡上将该项涂黑。（高考专题 http://www.ncsmjj.com）
A
A new study says one part of the human brain may become smaller as the result of a condition known as jet lag．Jet lag results from flying long distances in an airplane People with jet lag may feel extremely tired for several days．They may also have problems thinking clearly and remembering．
Recently a researcher at the University of Bristol in Britain reported the findings of his jet lag study，which involved twenty young women who worked for international airlines．They had served passengers on airplanes for five years．These flight attendants flew across many countres and at least seven time zones．In the study,the flight attendants had different amounts of time to recover from jet lag．Half the women spent five days or fewer in their home areas between long flights．The other half spent more than fourteen days in their home areas.
The researcher took some saliva(唾液)from the women's mouths to measure levels of a hormone(荷尔蒙)that increases during stress．He tested them to see if they could emember where black spots appeared on a computer screen．And he took pictures of their brains to measure
the size of the brain's temporal lobes(脑叶)．
It was found that the women who had less time between flights had smaller right temporal lobes．This area of the brain deals with recognizing and remembering what is seen. The same group performed worse and had slower reaction times on the visual memory test. And their sliva samples showed higher levels of stress hormones．
The researcher believes the brain needs at least ten days to recover after a long trip. He says airline workers told him their ability to remember got worse after working on planes for about four years．Other studies have shown that increased feelings of stress can cause a loss of cells in the part of the brain that controls memory． Scientists say more tests are needed to study the effects of jet lag on the brain．They want to find out if too much jet lag could permanently affect memory.
56、According to the text，jet lag .
A．can cause difficulties in speaking
B．can make people feel tired for a few weeks
C．can be only found in flight attendants
D．can be caused by flying over several time zones
57、From the result of the research we can see that
A．the women who have longer rest at home show better memory
B．the women who fly in short time have smaller right temporal lobes
C．the women who have longer frights fail the memory test
D．the women who rest more than14 days produceless hormones
58、It can be inferred from the text that ．
A．the conclusion is refused by many scientists
B．scientists fear that this research is not done properly
C．every scientific conclusion needs the support from many tests
D．the women who were examined in the research were not healthy
B
Sept 19-A private company has announced plans to rebuild Beijing’s famous Yuanmingyuan Park in Zhejiang Province.
Yuanmingyuan ,the old Summer Palace, is a Qing Dynasty Imperial Park in the northwest of Beijing.
Construction began in 1709 and continued for 150 years under five emperors. But it was burnt to the ground in 1860 by French and British troops．Hengdian will rebuild Yuanmingyuan near
Dongyang in the centre of the province．A spokesman for the group surnamed Shi said“the plan has gained support from the government as it will bring new life to the local economy，especially he tourism industry．”
“The park will be located in a remote place in the countryside，with．hills，rivers and farmland，which corresponds to the original environment of the real Yuanmingyuan，”Shi said．“It will be a multi-functional theme park”．
Shi said the park can serve as an educational base of patriotism(爱国主义)．
“If visitors comparer the wonderful park with the ruins of the Yuanmingyuan in Beijing，they will keep in mind the sufferings of our nation in modem history，”Shi said．
The park will also be used as a movie and television base．The group already has a development containing an imitation(模仿)of the Forbidden City in Beijing，a Qin Dynasty
(221-206BC)palace，and a Song Dynasty(960-1279)downtown street．
The development attracted 3.2 million visitors last year．However，the project has caused different opinions．
Ruan Yisan，a history professor with Tongji University in Shanghai，said he could not see any point of rebuilding the Yuanmingyuan，as it has already been destroyed．
“The remaining ruins are a witness of history and serve as a good reminder of what happened，”Ruan said．“Therefore any attempt to rebuild the garden will only be an awkward imitation．Moreover，the real Yuanmingyuan Was not built in just five or 10 years．”
Ruan suggested the group could use the money to preserve sites that are in urgent need of protection．
59、Where are we likely to find this passage?
A．In a tour guided book． B．In a magazine．
C．In a book． D．In a newspaper．
60、Which is the reason of Ruan Yisan's objection?
A．The remaining ruins are a witness of British and French history．
B．Yuanmingyuan has already been destroyed and it is valueless to be rebuilt now．
C．he remaining ruins serve as a good reminder of what happened to the people in Beijing.
D．Any attempt to rebuild the garden will be a wonderful imitation.
61、The passage is mainly about .
A．the debate of Yuanmingyuan's‘reconstruction
B．the discussion of the value of Yuanmingyuan
C．the benefits of rebuilding Yuanmingyuan
D．the disadvantage of rebuilding Yuanmingyuan
62、According to the passage，what's the attitude of Ruan?
A．He supports rebuilding Yuanmingyuan．
B．He objects to rebuilding Yuanmingyuan．
C．He suggests preserving the sites to make money．
D．His attitude is not mentioned．
C
Disaster warning: a whale of a tale
On the Intemet，it is already a spreading tale：did the mass stranding(搁浅)and deaths of whales on an Australian beach signal the coming of the earthquake?
What is true is that three weeks before the earthquake off Indonesia，an Indian academic，Dr Kumar posted a note about a recent whale stranding in Tasmania，and predicted the possitility of an earthquake．“It is my observation，tracking the data and drawing the location of shaking and earthquakes．I have noted with alarm last week's report of mass deaths of whales on an Australian beachside. I will not be surprised if,within a few days，a massive quake hits some part of the globe，because the unusual‘death-wish’of whales and its fate has the inter-relationship．The earthquake may need a further looking into”．
On the discussion board of the British Medical Journal，a letter from a research fellow
Chinthamani in Mangalore, said Professor Kumar had predicted the earthquake“almost to the
day”．He said the professor wrote that he had made a five-year record of dates，located whale stranding and observed a remarkable connection between the events．
Does it have any substance(实质)?The answer is that it may have some．Mark Simmonds is
the director of science at Britain's Whale and Dolphin Conservation Society．He says hat most whales are intensely social animals and act together. if one heads into the beach，the others follow．It may be an accident；sometimes human agency may be partly to blame；sometimes the Earth's magnetic field(磁场)may play a role．“But nobody has shown any correlation between whale stranding and earthquakes．If he is saying there is，he would have to present the data to prove his case ”.
Kumar's original email strongly suggests that he is in possession ofjust such data．Did he have a list of the correlaftons between previous whale stranding and earthquakes?
“I don't have a lot of these things，”he said，when I asked him．So Kumar appears to have no evidence．Yet he undoubtedly did post his warning of a huge event，just three weeks before the biggest earthquake of the past 40 years. Chance?Luck?Science?
63、A spreading legend on the Internet is that .
A．there will be a terrible earthquake
B．the deaths of whales and an earthquake have some connection
C．Dr Kumar can predict many things that will happen in the future
D．Chinthamani can predict an earthquake
64、Who agrees with Dr Kumar?
A．The author B．Chinthamani
C．The author and Chinthanmni D．Nobody
65、In the fifth paragraph，the meaning of correlation is .
A．connection B．cooperation C．separation D．affection
66、The reason why Mark Simmonds doesn't believe Dr Kumar's words is that .
A．Dr Kumar is an Indian academic B．Dr Kumar is not a scientist
C．Dr Kumar almost has no evidence D．Dr Kumar has no honest quality
D
One suicide and three attempted ones that left two seriously injured，all by middle school students in Shanghai last week，cast a gloom(忧郁)over an otherwise happy beginning of a new term there．The terrible things took place even as the Ministry of Education and China Central Television organized the first lesson on TV about personal safety for students last Monday，the first day of the new semester．Such things suggest that this first lesson is more than necessary. Not only should kids be taught how to protect themselves in times of emergency,they should also be made aware of the value of life．One student was prevented from killing himself from his school building．He said he iust could not accept the fact of not being able to go up to a higher grade with his classmates，and thus considered life meaningless．Another 12-year-old boy who jumped off a building to his death was said to have been a good student，and no one could say why he chose to end his life．Obviously,their inner worlds were seriously affected．But when they chose to take
their own lives, their irresponsible choice was clearly the result of a lack of adequate
understanding of the value of life．
The ancient sage Confucius(孔子)stressed that one must protect even one's hair and skin from being hurt．He meant that the sense of responsibility for one's parents was important as far as the value of life was concerned．When we talk about the enthusiasm of making contributions to our motherland．we are referring to values that constitute the nobler part of the meaning of life．The value of life should be far beyond the concern for personal interest．
Undoubtedly,those kids who chose to take their own lives were faced only with their own
sadness that they could not overcome．If they had a little concern for their parents，for their parents' expectations of them or for their own potential contributions to this world in the future，they would not have gone that far. Difficulties or sufferings are supposed to help kids develop their sense of responsibility and thus help them better understand the value of lite.
Too much attention and care from their parents and grandparents have made most of the only children self-centered．Many think it is natural that they deserve to be taken care of by others in whatever way they want．They expect to have their problems solved by their parents or someone else．With such a false sense，they fail to grasp the tough reality of life．They suffer from the illusion(幻觉)that their life should be nothing but plain sailing．Whenever the illusion is broken，they can hardly gather enough courage to face lire as it is．So a hotline is indeed necessary to help those kids who find it hard to accept the tough reality of lire．But parents and teachers also need to take lessons from the things．They need to know that life should not always be sugar-coated for kids；they should be made to taste the bitter side too as early as possible．
67、Which of the following statements is true according to the passage?
A．The main purpose of the first lesson is to teach how to prevent such killings from taking place．
B．Because those kids found it hard to live up to their parents' expectations，they chose to commit suicide．
C．The tough reality of life can be of great help to develop the kids sense of responsibility.
D．Most of the self-centered children take it for granted that life can be nothing but sadness.
68、From the passage we know that .
A．four students took their lives in Shanghai last week
B．being unable to catch up with other classmates led to the 12-year-old boy killing himself
C．the importance of life lies in the sense of responsibility for parents
D．parents are supposed to tell the kids the bitter side of life as well as the sweet side
69、What mainly causes those kids to take their own lives is that ．
A．they are worried that they may fall behind others in studies
B．they lack the respect for their parents
C．they may be physically healthy,but mentally unhealthy
D．their parents expect too much from them
70 、Which of the following would be the best title of the passage?
A．An irresponsible choice． B．The value of life．
C．Weak-minded generation． D．The reality of life．

Scientists have developed a water treatment system that they say is a powerful but simple way to save lives．Four grams of chemicals can treat ten liters of dirty water for a low cost, about ten cents．
Experts say infections from dirty water kill several thousand children in developing countries every day．
The Procter and Gamble company has been developing the “PUR Purifier of Water”system
since nineteen ninety-five．The company has been working with the United States Centers for
Disease Control and Prevention．C.D.C．researchers tested it in Pakistan and Kenya．Procter and Gamble researcher Greg Allgood says cases of diarrhea(腹泻)in those studies fell by about fifty percent．
Researchers from Johns Hopkins University in Maryland tested the system at a refugee camp in Liberia．Mister Allgood says that study found a reduction of more than ninety percent．
Use of the system is being expanded worldwide．Findings were described last week at an
American Chemical Society meeting．
Mister Allgood heads the Children's Safe Drinking Water program at Procter and Gamble．He says about forty million packets of the treatment have been given to countries for free．They have been used in emergencies and in areas with limited supplies of clean water．
Clean water is a limited resource in many parts of the world．Delegates from about one hundred and thirty nations attended the Fourth World Water Forum in Mexico City．Scientists, policy experts and others discussed ways to provide clean water to the world's poor．Organizers say more than twenty percent of the world population lack clean drinking water．
The final declaration did not go so far as to declare water a human right．But it did say that governments，not private companies，must take the lead in improving the public's ability? to have clean Water．

The Problem of ‘Three Merits Student’
Professor Wang suggests abolishing the system of 'Three Merits Student'.Many schools pay close attention to students' academic achievements when they elect Three Merits Students. They ignore students' other abilites. In order to become Three Merits Students, a lot of students spend much time on study. Therefore ,they have no time for rest and sports, which greatly affects students' health.
Many people agree with him．They think it is wrong to elect the Three Merits Students in the original way for it can't completely represent the all qualities of the students. It is sided. Besides, their self-esteem is seriously hurt.
On the other hand, there are still a great many people who hold opposite opinions. They think it is an encouragement for the students because study is the most important task to the students.
As far as I'm concerned, schools may elect the best student, but the standard had better be improved. We should praise those students who do well in every aspect in their school life including study,morality,sports and so on.

M：I feel tired all the time，even when I wake up in the morning．My wife cooks me delicious meals but I can only eat a little．
W：How do you sleep?
M：Very badly，doctor．I never get to sleep until 2 O'clock and I always wake at 5：00．
W：Are you worried about anything?
M：Well，yes，I am．I'm anxious about my work．I've just taken a new job．I earn a lot of money but I'm always afraid of making a mistake．
W：I see．Please take off your shirt and lie down on the couch.
M：OK．Doctor．
W：There is nothing very much wrong with you．You're working too hard and worrying too much．Do you take exercise?
M：No，doctor. I never have enough time for exercise．I work from morning till night. Then I can't get to sleep. Can you give me some medicine to help me to sleep?
W: I can, but I'm not going to. You don't need any. Don't work so hard. Too much work is bad for you. Don't worry about you work. Take regular exercise.
M: But I may lose my job, doctor. It's hard to get a job like mine.
w: Then get an easier one, even if you earn less money. Which would you rather have, health or wealth?
M: You are right, doctor. It's more important to be healthy than wealthy. I will change my job.

I live in a small village in the country. My wife and I run the village shop. We have a very peaceful life, boring, some might say, but we love it. I have plenty of time for my hobbies, gardening, fishing, and walking in the countryside, but it wasn't always like this. I used to have a very stressful job, till late in the office every evening and often bringing work home on the weekend. The advertising world is very competitive. I had no private life at all. No time for the really important things in life. Because of the pressure, I used to smoke and drink too much. The trouble came when my wife left me. She complained she never saw me. And I had no time for a family life. This made me realize what was really important to me, I talked things through with her and decided to get back and start a new and better life together.
