27、wer to students in terms of how, when and where they learn,” the head of research for Pearson Education said. Classes meet online through video conferencing. In this way, students are able to communicate with each other and their professors even when they are far away from school. However, recent re

Online education can never really take its place, said Stephanie Hall, a fellow with the independent policy research group The Century Foundation. “Stud
30、ents need to experience.what theyre learning about, reading about or hearing about in the classroom.

35、odern scientists divide the process of dying into two phasesclinical or temporary death and biological death. Clinical death occurs when the vital organs, such as the heart or lungs, have ceased to function, but have not suffered permanent damage. The organism can still be revived (复活). Biological d
36、eath occurs when changes in the organism lead to the “breaking up” of vital cells and tissues. Death is then unchangeable and final.Scientists have been seeking a way to prolong the period of clinical death so that the organism can remain alive before biological death occurs. The best method develop
37、ed so far involves cooling of the organism, combined with narcotic sleep. By slowing down the bodys metabolism (新陈代谢), cooling delays the processes leading to biological death. To illustrate how this works, scientists performed an experiment on a six-year-old female monkey called Keta. The scientist
38、 put Keta to sleep with a narcotic. Then they surrounded her body with ice-bags and began checking her body temperature. When it had dropped to 28 degrees the scientists began draining blood from an artery. The monkeys blood pressure decreased and an hour later both the heart and breathing stopped:
39、clinical death set in. For twenty minutes Keta remained in this state. Her temperature dropped to 22 degrees. At this point the scientists pumped blood into an artery in the direction of the heart and started artificial breathing. After two minutes Ketas heart became active once more. After fifteen
40、minutes, spontaneous (自发的) breathing began, and after four hours Keta opened her eyes and lifted her head. After six hours, when the scientists tried to give her a penicillin injection, Keta seized the syringe and ran with it around the room. Her behavior differed little from that of a healthy anima
41、l. 32. Which word can be used to replace the underlined word “ceased” _.A. stopped B. delayed C. postponedD. lengthened33. Why do scientists try to make the time of clinical death longer?A. cool the organism. B. delay the coming of biological death. C. slow down the bodys metabolism. D. bring vital
42、cells and tissues back to active life. 34. How did the scientists put Keta into clinical death? A. By putting her to sleep, lowering her temperature and draining her blood. B. By surrounding her body with ice-bags and draining her blood. C. By lowering her blood pressure and stopping her heart from
43、beating. D. By draining her blood, lowering her blood pressure and stopping her breathing. 35.
