Both Einstein and Dickens had mental illness. Now scientists have started to look at whether mental illness and genius are linked.Dr Ade
27、le Juda studied 5, 000 creative people in Germany. She found there were more people with mental illness in this group than in the general population. Poets had the highest rate （比例） of mental illness, followed by musicians, with lower numbers for painters and architects.Other scientists did research
28、 which also showed a strong link between mental problems and creativity. But, it did nothing to explain it.Dr Ruth Richards of Harvard University made a breakthrough. Instead of studying creative people, she took a group of psychiatric （精神病的） patients and tested them for creativity. The patients got
29、 much higher scores than a normal group. Also, the patients close relatives were much more creative than the patients and a normal group. This suggests that the key to the link between creativity and mental illness is in our genes. But this is a problem. According to Darwinism, harmful genes should
30、be removed. Some scientists believe that evolution （进化） has created a balance, where the madness of a few people leads to the development of the whole human race.Geniuses may be mad, bad or just difficult to understand, but their discoveries have improved the world we live in. It seems that a little
31、 creative madness is good for us all. 56. Which of the following statements is NOT true？ A. Among the 5, 000 creative people in Germany, more people suffer from mental diseases than the general population. B. There is a strong link between mental problems and creativity. C. Psychiatric patients make
32、 greater contributions than common people. D. The key to the link between creativity and mental illness is in our genes. 57. What is the writers attitude toward madness？ A. Madness is harmful to the whole society. B. A little creative madness is good for us all. C. All the talented people are mad.D.
33、 Only the people with mental illness have more creativity.58.Based on the research of Dr Ruth Richards of Harvard University, we can conclude that _. A. great artists and scientists often suffer from mental problems B. the patients close relatives were much more creative than the patients and a norm
34、al group C. psychiatric patients have more creativity than the average people D. it is our genes that determine the link between creativity and mental illness 59.

A. discover or find something new and important B. make a way through using force C.（of the sun or moon ） appear from behind （clouds） D. suddenly change （from a slower to a faster pace） BA Southampton University team fo
36、und that people who were vegetarians by 30 had recorded five IQ points higher on average at the age of 10. Researchers said it could explain why people with a higher IQ were healthier as a vegetarian diet was linked to lower heart disease and obesity rates. The study of 8,179 people was reported in
37、the British Medical Journal.Twenty years after the IQ tests were carried out in 1970, 366 of the participants said they were vegetarians although more than 100 reported eating either fish or chicken.Men who were vegetarians had an IQ score of 106, compared with 101 for non-vegetarians; while female
38、vegetarians averaged 104, compared with 99 for non-vegetarians. There was no difference in the IQ scores, between strict vegetarians and those who said they were vegetarians but reported eating fish or chicken.Researchers said the findings were partly related to better education and higher class, bu
39、t it remained statistically significant after adjusting for these factors.Vegetarians were more likely to be female, to be of higher social class and to have higher academic or vocational qualifications than non-vegetarians. However, these differences were not reflected in their annual income, which
40、 was similar to that of non-vegetarians.Lead researcher Catharine Gale said, “The findings that children with greater intelligence are more likely to report being vegetarians as adults, together with the evidence on the potential benefits of a vegetarian diet on heart health, may help to explain why
41、 a higher IQ in childhood or adolescence is linked with a reduced risk of coronary heart disease in adult life.But Dr Frankie Phillips of the British Dietetic Association said, “It is like the chicken and egg. Do people become vegetarians because they have a very high IQ or is it just that they are
42、clever enough to be more aware of health issues？”61Whats the result of the research mentioned in the text? A. Children with a healthier heart tend to have a higher IQ later in life. B. Children with a higher IQ are less likely to have heart disease later in life. C. Intelligent children tend to belo
43、ng to higher social class later in life. D. Intelligent children are more likely to become vegetarians later in life.62It was found in the research that_. A. most of the participants became vegetarians 20 years after the IQ tests were carried out B. female vegetarians were more likely to have higher
44、 annual income than non-vegetarians C. vegetarians who ate fish or chicken were of similar intelligence with strict vegetarians D. vegetarians were more likely to have higher annual income than non-vegetarians63Catharine Gale talked about “being vegetarians” in a(n)_way.

The rate of getting heart disease is linked to your lifestyle. C. The link between a high IQ and being a vegetarian is still uncertain. D
46、. The link between a healthy heart and diet remains to be proved.65What s the best title for the text? A. Get more IQ points! B. Be a vegetarian, please! C. Vegetarian diet cuts heart riskD.

47、rs over the past few years, and it is assumed that global warming and climate change could cause even more disasters in the future. Some of the worlds leading cities are facing disasters like floods and heat waves.LondonLondons flood defences are getting older. Since 1982, the Thames Barrier(水闸)has
48、protected the city from the threat of flooding, but it was only designed to last until 2030 and close once every two or three years. About 21 years later the barrier now closes five or six times a year and according to Environment Agency predictions, by 2050 the barrier will be closed on almost ever
49、y tide if the problem is not addressed.There are 26 underground stations, 400 schools, 16 hospitals, an airport and 80 billion worth of property in Londons flood risk area, so large scale flooding would be disastrous.ParisOver a six-week period in July and August 2008, more than 11400mainly elderly

Heat waves of similar intensity(强度)are expected every seven years by 2050, so what can be done to make sure such a disaster does not happen again?One solution is to have air conditioners installed i
