13、30分）AB（2013浙江卷）Below is a selection from a popular science book.If blood is red, why are veins (静脉) blue?Actually, veins are not blue at all. They are more of a clear, yellowish color. Although blood looks red when its outside the body, when its sitting in a vein near the surface of the skin, its mo
14、re of a dark reddish purple color. At the right depth, these blood-filled veins reflect less red light than the surrounding skin, making them look blue by comparison.Which works harder, your heart or your brain?That kind of depends on whether youre busy thinking or busy exercising. Your heart works
15、up to three times harder during exercise, and shifts enough blood over a lifetime to fill a supertanker. But, in the long run, your brain probably tips it, because even when youre sitting still your brain is using twice as much energy as your heart, and it takes four to five times as much blood to f
16、eed it.Why do teeth fall out, and why dont they grow back in grown-ups?Baby (or “milk”) teeth do not last long; they fall out to make bigger room for bigger, stronger adult teeth later on. Adult teeth fall our when they become damaged, decayed and infected by bacteria. Once this second set of teeth
17、has grown in, youre done. When theyre gone, they are gone. This is because nature figures youre set for life, and what controls regrowth of your teeth switches off.Do old people shrink as they age?Yes and no. Many people do get shorter as they age. But, when they do, it isnt because theyre shrinking
18、 all over. They simply lose height as their spine (脊柱) becomes shorter and more curved due to disuse and the effect of gravity (重力). Many (but not all) men and women do lose height as they get older. Men lose an average of 3-4 cm in height as they age, while women may lose 5 cm or more. If you live
19、to be 200 years old, would you keep shrinking till you were, like 60 cm tall, like a little boy again? No, because old people dont really shrink! It is not that they are growing backwardstheir legs, arms and backbones getting shorter. When they do get shorter, its because the spine has shortened a l
20、ittle. Or, more often, become more bent and curved.Why does spinning make you dizzy (眩晕的)?Because your brain gets confused between what youre seeing and what youre feeling. The brain senses that youre spinning using special gravity-and-motion-sensing organs in your inner ear, which work together wit
21、h your eyes to keep your vision balance stable. But when you suddenly stop spinning the system goes out of control, and your brain thinks youre moving while youre not.Where do feelings and emotions come from?Mostly from an ancient part of the brain called the limbic system. All mammals have this bra
22、in area from mice to dogs, cats, and humans. So all mammals feel basic emotions like fear, pain and pleasure. But since human feelings also involve other, newer bits of the brain, we feel more complex emotions than any other animal on this planet.If exercise wears you out, how can it be good for you
23、?Because our bodies adapt to everything we do to them. And as far as your body is concerned, its “use it, or lose it”! Its not that exercise makes you healthy, its more that a lack of exercise leaves your body weak and easily affected by disease. (596 words)46. What is the color of blood in a vein n
