Many people will travel great distances in airplanes, cars or other vehicles. Experts say people should know about other health probl
24、ems that can strike when traveling by air. One of these is a condition called hypoxia (缺氧症). It results from a lack of oxygen to the brain. Experts say the body begins losing oxygen minutes after an airplane leaves the ground. The air pressure in a plane during flight is lower than at sea level. Thi
25、s makes it more difficult for the body to effectively use the same amount of oxygen as it would on the ground. Fewer oxygen molecules （分子） cross the tissues (组织) in the lungs and reach the bloodstream.The result is a five to twenty percent drop in the amount of oxygen in the blood. This reduces the
26、amount of oxygen that reaches the organs of the body. One effect of this lack of oxygen to the brain is a headache. When this happens, the heart attempts to fix the situation by beating harder and faster. This can make the traveler feel tired.These signs of hypoxia are not dangerous in a healthy per
27、son. But a drop in oxygen level can cause a health emergency in people with heart or lung problems. They might lose consciousness or even suffer a heart attack.Experts say that smoking cigarettes and drinking alcoholic liquids also reduce the bodys ability to use oxygen. So they suggest that people
28、not drink alcohol or smoke cigarettes either before or during a flight. They also say persons with heart or lung problems should seek advice from their doctors before flying.56. The author writes the passage mainly to _.A. warn people in airplanes of possible dangersB. offer some advice on avoiding

The underlined part “fix the situation” means “_”.A. use more oxygen it needs B. increase the air pressureC. reduce the amount of blood D. bump more blood to the brain59. Why should passengers not smoke or drink before flying?A. They weaken the bodys ability to use oxyg

32、elling D. the causes and effects of hypoxiaBMost Americans believe that someone isnt grown-up until the age of 26 and they should complete their education, have a full-time job, have a family to support and be financially independent. They also believe that becoming a real grown-up is a process whic
33、h begins at about the age of 20 and takes about five years, according to the report from the University of Chicagos National Opinion Research Center. The findings are based on a representative sample of 1,398 people over the age of 18 who were surveyed in person. The survey found that people expect
34、the transitions to grown-up status to be completed at the following ages: age 20.9 self-supporting; age 21.1 no longer living with parents; age 21.2 having a full-time job; age 22.3 education completed; age 24.5 being able to support a family financially; age 25.7 getting married; and age 26.2 havin
35、g a child. “There is a large degree of agreement across social groups on the relative importance of the seven transitions,” said Tom Smith, director of the survey. The only obvious pattern of differences is on views about supporting a family, having children and getting married. Older adults conside
36、r these more important than younger adults do. This probably shows in large part a change in values across generations away from traditional family values. The most valued step toward reaching adulthood, the survey found, is completing education, followed by full-time employment, supporting a family
37、, financial independence, living independently, and marriage.71. According to the first paragraph, someone is a grown-up when he _. A. has found a full-time job B. has finished his study in universityC. can make money and support himself after completing his educationD. can support a family and be f
38、inancially independent after graduation72. A young man of 24 may be busy _. A. finding a job B. finding a girl friendC. making money D. preparing for his wedding73. The underlined word “status” in the second paragraph probably means “_”. A. position B. rank C. level D. situation74. From the passage,
39、 we learn that _. A. being grown-up is just a matter of ageB. being grown-up is a process which takes some timeC. all people think completing education means being grown-upD. the survey found everyone had a different view about being grown-up75.

40、es a long time to grown up. B. Are we grown-up yet?C. Getting married means being grown-up. D. Completing education means being grown-up.CJapanese students work very hard but many are very unhappy. They feel great pressure from their parents to do well in school and in college. Most students are alw
41、ays being told by their parents to study harder so that they can have successful future. Although this may be good advice for those who are very bright, it can have very bad results for many students who are not quick enough at learning. 20090224Unfortunately, a number of students actually kill them
42、selves. Others are after comfort in using drugs. Some students, however, do bad things with groups of bad people and turn to crime. Many of them have tried very hard at school but, in spite of all their tries, have failed in certain examinations and have disappointed their parents. Such students fee
43、l that they are less important than everyone else they meet and leave school before they finish their study. It is surprising that although most Japanese parents are anxious for their children to do well at school, they do not help them in any way. Many parents feel that they are unable to help thei
44、r children with their lessons and that it is the teachers job to help their children. To make matter worse, a lot of parents send their children to special schools called juku-cram schools. These schools are open during the evenings and on weekends, and their only purpose is to prepare students to p
45、ass exams; they do not try to educate students in any real sense of the world. Thus comes a shock to realize that almost three quarters of the junior high school students attend these cram schools.Ordinary Japanese schools usually have rules about everything from the length of students hair to their
46、 clothes and things in their school bags. Child psychologists now think that such strict rules often lead to a feeling of being unsafe and being unable to fit into society. They believe that no sense of moral(道德) values is developed and that students are given neither guidance nor training in becomi

50、my daughter which item she would keep; the phone, the car, the cooker, the computer, the TV, or her boyfriend, she said“the phone”. Personally, I could do without the phone entirely, which makes me unusual. Because the telephone is changing our lives more than any other piece of technology. Point 1
51、The telephone creates the need to communicate, in the same way that more roads create more traffic. My daughter comes home from school at 4:00 pm and then spends an hour on the phone talking to the very people she has been at school with all day. If the phone did not exist, would she have anything t
52、o talk about? Point 2 The mobile phone means that we are never alone. “The mobile saved my life,”says Crystal Johnstone. She had an accident in her Volvo on the A45 between Otley and Skipton. Trapped inside, she managed to make the call that brought the ambulance(救护车) to her rescue. Point 3 The mobi
53、le removes our secret. It allows marketing manager of Haba Deutsch, Carl Nicolaisen, to ring his sales staff all round the world at and time of day to ask where they are , where they are going, and how their last meeting went. Point 4 The telephone separates us. Antonella Bramante in Rome says, “We
54、worked in separate offices but I could see him through the window. It was easy to get his number. We were so nearbut we didnt meet for the first two weeks!” Point 5 The telephone allows us to reach out beyond our own lives. Today we can talk to several complete strangers simultaneously ( 同时地) on cha
55、t lines (at least my daughter does. I wouldnt know what to talk about). We can talk across the world. We can even talk to astronauts (if you know any) while theyre space-walking. And, with the phone line hooked up to the computer, we can access(进入) the Internet, the biggest library on Earth. 56.How
