24、ces in airplanes, cars or other vehicles. Experts say people should know about other health problems 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 airp
25、lane leaves the ground. The air pressure in a plane during flight is lower than at sea level. This 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.Th
26、e result is a five to twenty percent drop in the amount of oxygen in the blood. This reduces the 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
27、. This can make the traveler feel tired.These signs of hypoxia are not dangerous in a healthy person. 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 dri
28、nking alcoholic liquids also reduce the bodys ability to use oxygen. So they suggest that people 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 pas
29、sage mainly to _.A. warn people in airplanes of possible dangersB. offer some advice on avoiding health problemsC. explain the causes and effects of hypoxiaD. advise people not to smoke or drink alcohol57.

Drinking alcohol may raise ones blood pressure.D. Drinking is forbidden at the airport.BThe way to teach the kids to take good care of petsThe be
32、st way to teach your child how to be responsible pet caregivers is to be on yourself. This should start before you even get a petmake sure you have realistic expectations about pet ownership. And take steps to select the right animal at the right time.As soon as you bring a pet in, set up and enforc
33、e rules regarding proper pet care. For example, tell your child not to pull the animals tail, ears, or other body parts, and insist they never tease（欺负，嘲弄）, hit, or chase （追逐）it. Teach the child how to properly pick up, hold, and pat the animal. These simple lessons are essential to helping the kid
34、become a responsible caretaker.Although a certain pet-care activity must be handled by an adult, you can still include your child by explaining why and what youre doing. For example, when you take your pet to the veterinarian to be spayed or neutered, explain to your child how the operation not only
35、 reduces pet overpopulation but can also make it healthier, calmer, and more affectionate.Also involve your child in a pet-training activity, which not only make your pet a more well-mannered family member, but teach your child humane treatment and effective communication.Ultimately, your child will
36、 learn how to treat animalsand peopleby watching how you treat the family pet. And theyll pay close attention to how you react when a pet scratches the furniture, barks excessively, or soils in the house. Frustrating as these problems are, “getting rid of” the pet isnt just unfair to the pet and you
37、r child, but it also sends the wrong message about commitment, trust, and responsibility. When faced with pet problems, get to the root of the problem. Often a veterinarian, animal shelter professional, or dog trainer can help you resolve pet issues so you can keep the whole family together.60. When

40、 Parents should take all pet-care activities. D. Pets may cause some frustrating problems.CThere is a discovery that students who rely on working at night to improve their grades might want to sleep on that strategy: a new survey in the US says those who never study all night have slightly higher gr
41、ades than those who do. A survey of 120 students at St. Lawrence University found that students who have never pulled an all-nighter on average have higher grades than those who have. The survey found those who did not study through the night had a grade point average of 3.2 compared to 2.95 for tho
42、se who have. The study, by assistant professor of psychology Pamela Thacher, is to be included in the January issue of Behavioral Sleep Medicine. “Its not a big difference, but its pretty striking,” Thacher said. “I am primarily a sleep researcher and I know nobody thinks clearly at 4 in the morning
43、. You think you do, but you cant.” Many college students, of course, have inadequate or irregular sleep, for reasons ranging from excessive caffeine to poor time management. “A lot of students were under the impression that all-nighters were a very useful tool for accomplishing work, that caffeine i
44、ntake was very useful in meeting deadlines and stuff like that,” said Chatani, who had a 3.4 grade point average last term. Dr Howard Weiss, a physician at St. Peters Sleep Center in Albany, said the study results make sense. “Certainly that data is out there showing that short sleep duration absolu
45、tely interferes with concentration, interferes with performance on objective testing,” he said. Some night owls （猫头鹰）do get good grades, of course, which may be explained by circadian rhythms（生理节律）, Weiss said. Some people have different 24-hour body clocks than others, and may do better depending o
46、n class and testing times, Weiss said.64. The purpose of the passage is to tell us _.A. the bad effects of pulling an all-nighterB. pulling an all-nighter leads to sleep problemsC.

49、prove ones grades by working deep into the nightDMaybe you dont know the fact that the green forests we see from an airplane or from the highway can be false. Because centuries ago forests were twice as many as what they are today. A hike into many of those woods will tell different stories, tooof d
50、iseases and insects that are slowly killing trees, of some forests that are burned by fire, of logging that local people do more often. Deforestation（森林采伐） and degradation （退化） of the worlds forests mainly harm the basic ability of those ecosystems （生态系统） to function or provide services, such as fre
51、sh water, air, plants and animals, which benefit people everywhere and keep the balance of nature. DeforestationForests today are a small part of what they once were. Nearly half of the worlds forest cover is gone, and each year 40 million acres more are cut and replaced by agriculture and developme
52、nt. Over the next 45 years, wood use in the world is guessed to increase by 50 per cent over its present rate. Many of the forests that remain are severely destroyed, which harms the ability to protect birds or wild animals, and to supply natural resources to people. Deforestation also brings about
53、between 20 per cent and 25 per cent of all air pollution causing global climate change.DegradationForests continue to be degraded by some uses such as the gathering of wood for fuel, the arrival of pests and diseases that kill trees, the effects of climate change and poor management such as the fire
