Without enough blood, the brain lives for only three to five m
27、inutes. More often the doctors cant fix the damage. Sometimes they are afraid to try something to help because it is dangerous to work on the brain. The doctors might make the person worse if he operates on the brain. Dr. Robert White, a famous professor and doctor, thinks he knows a way to help. He
28、 thinks doctors should make the brain very cold. If it is very cold, the brain can live without blood for 30 minutes. This gives the doctor a longer time to do something for the brain. Dr. White tried his idea on 13 monkeys. First he taught them to do different jobs, and then he operated on them. He
29、 made the monkeys blood go through a machine. The machine cooled the blood. Then the machine sent the blood back to the monkeys brains. When the brains temperature was 10C, Dr. White stopped the blood to the brain. After 30 minutes he turned the blood back on. He warmed the blood again. After their
30、operations the monkeys were like they had been before. They were healthy and busy. Each one could still do the jobs the doctor had taught them. 56. The biggest difficulty in operating on the damaged brain is that _. A. the patients are often too nervous B. the time is too short for doctors C. the da
31、mage is extremely hard to fixD. the blood-cooling machine might break down57. The brain operation was made possible mainly by _. A. taking the blood out of the brain B. trying the operation on monkeys first C. lowering the brains temperature D. having the blood go through a machine 58. With Dr. Whit
32、es new idea, the operation on the damaged brain _. A. can last as long as 30 minutes B. can keep the brains blood warm C. can keep the patients brain healthy D. can help monkeys do different jobs59. What is the right order of the steps in the operation?a. send the cooled blood back to the brain b. s
33、top the blood to the brainc. have the blood cooled down d. operate on the brainA. c, a, b, d B. a, b, c, d C. c, b, d, a D. b, c, d, aBDealing with a broken friendship can be one of the most heartbreaking situations you go through in life, especially if youve been friends with the person for a long
34、time. There are a lot of things that can lead to division between friends, but I think in general real break-ups occur when friends take very different paths in life, and find it harder and harder to relate. Then, even if they dont have a sudden split(分手) due to a major argument, theyll still find t
35、hemselves drifting apart (逐渐疏远). Obviously time plays a big part here. If an argument has taken place, but there is at least the potential（潜在的可能） for the friendship to be re-established, both people will need some time to sort out the situation. After a while, they may be able to start talking again
36、. The hardest part may be the friendship not being the same as before or not being as close, but this depends on the situations of the division. People also have a hard time seeing changes in their friends. This is especially serious if your friend has changed for the worse, and you risk getting pul
37、led in the same direction by trying to fix the friendship. In such a situation, its often best to ask someone you trust outside the broken friendship someone who can be objective (客观的) about it to keep yourself on track if you do decide to try to help your friend.60. Generally speaking, two friends
38、break up when _. A. they have different life goals B. they have a major argumentC. there isnt enough communication between them D. theyre separate for a long time61. Whats the most difficult problem when two friends are reunited?A. They may not be able to start talking again.B. They may start quarre
39、lling again. C. Their relationship might not be as close as before. D. They no longer have time and patience. 62. Whats the best thing to do to remain friends following a break-up, especially if one has changed?A. Stay on the same track as before.B. Turn to someone reliable and objective.C. Make you
40、rself objective. D. Pull the changed friend in the same direction.63. What might be the best title for the passage? A. What to Do when Time Pulls Us ApartB. What Does True Friendship Mean?C. How to Treat a Changed FriendD. How to Deal with a Broken FriendshipCAlmost every family in America or Englan
41、d buys at least one copy of a newspaper each day. Some people buy as many as two or three different papers. Why do people read newspapers?Newspapers supply us with news about events in our hometowns, in our country, and in other parts of the world. Today we can read about important things that took
42、place in foreign countries on the same day they happened, even in countries far away. But hundreds of years ago, news of things took months or even years to travel from one country to another. In those times, news was often passed from one person to another and never completely true. Newspapers toda
43、y supply us with more than just what happened in our country or in other countries. If we want to know what the weather will be like, we can read the weather reports. If we want to find out what films are being shown, or what plays or concerts we can go to we can look in the newspapers. In many coun
44、tries people put notices in newspapers if they are trying to get a job, hunting for a house or rooms that they can rent, or even when looking for a person who is lost. 64. This article tells us _.

48、holly because it was told in spoken words. DEsme Denters, an 18-year-old girl from a small town of Oosterbeek, Netherlands, is an excellent example of someone who did something simple but created something big for himself or herself. Esme has been crazy about singing since she was a child and its be
49、en her dream to become a singer for years. Her dad was always playing music and Esme could sing along with it. She sang so much that her mother often said, Esme, be quiet! She was mostly used to singing alone in her own bedroom. And she did not quite believe it until her friends told her that she ha
50、d a good voice. Seeing that many people posted personal videos of their singing on a video sharing website, YouTube, she had the idea that she could do something similar.

51、Tube, making cover versions (翻唱版) of popular songs by famous singers Beyonce, Christina Aguilera, Alanis Morrisette, Alicia Keys and other famous musicians whom she could feel a connection with. Only a few months later, she wrote her own songs and posted videos of her original songs on YouTube. From
52、 the simple act of singing into her sisters webcam (摄像头) and then posting her videos on YouTube, more and more people started to pay attention to her. Listeners became her fans quickly.

56、those who help themselves.D. It is never too old to learn. EIn ancient times the most important examinations were spoken, not written. In the schools of ancient Greece and Rome, testing usually was made up of saying poetry aloud and giving speeches.In the European universities of the Middle Ages, st
57、udents who were working for advanced degrees had to discuss questions in their field of study with people who had made a special study of the subject. This custom exists today as part of the process of testing candidates(应试者) for the doctors degree.Generally, however, modern examinations are written
58、. The written examination, where all students are tested on the same questions, was probably not known until the nineteenth century. Perhaps it came into existence with the great increase in population and the development of modern industry. A room full of candidates for a state examination timed ex
59、actly by electric clocks and carefully watched over by managers, looks like a group of workers at an automobile factory. Certainly, during examinations teachers and students are expected to act like machines.One type of test is sometimes called an “objective”（客观的） test. It is intended to deal with f
60、acts, not personal opinions. To make up an objective test, the teacher writes a series of questions, each of which has only one correct answer.
