11、entially left over from our ancestors(祖先) might be found in usthe ability to sense oxygen through our skin.Amphibians, animals such as frogs that can live both on land and in water, have long been known to be able to breathe through their skin. In fact, the first known lungless frog that breathes on
12、ly through its skin was discovered recently in the rivers of Borneo.Now the same oxygen sensors found in frog skins and in the lungs of mammals (哺乳动物) have unexpectedly been discovered in the skin of mice.“No one had ever looked,” explained Randall Johnson, a biologist researcher.Mice and frogs are
13、quite distant relatives(亲戚), so the fact they have these molecules (分子) in common in their skin suggests they might well be found in the skin of other mammals, such as humans.“We have no reason to think that they are not in the skin of people too,” Johnson said.These molecules not only detect oxygen
14、, but help increase levels of important red blood cells, which carry oxygen around the body. Normal mice breathing in air that is 10 percent oxygena dangerously low level similar to conditions at the top of Mount Everest, and about half that of air at sea level. However, mice that had the oxygen sen
15、sor HIF-1a genetically removed from their skin failed to produce this hormone (荷尔蒙) even after hours of such low oxygen.These findings, if they hold true in humans, suggest one could raise the level of oxygen circulating inside the body. This could help treat lung diseases and disorders,such as anem
16、ia (贫血症) without injecting drugs, which make up a multibillion-dollar market, Johnson said.Athletes also often try to get more oxygen delivered to their muscles in order to improve their performance. They often do this by training at high altitudes or in low-oxygen tents. The new study suggests they
17、 might want to expose their skin as well as breathing in low-oxygen air to improve their performance. “Its hard to say what exactly might be done, howevertheres a lot we dont know yet,”Johnson explainedThe scientists detailed their findings in the April 18 issue of the journal Cell.21. Which of the
18、following statements is TRUE according to the passage?A. Johnson believes that there are also oxygen sensors in human skin.B. People have to surf the Internet to read detailed findings.C. It has been proved that these findings help treat lung diseases.D. It has long been expected oxygen sensors exis
19、t in mices skin. 22. One of the functions of the molecules mentioned above is _. A. carrying oxygen around the body B. improving athletes performanceC. detecting oxygen D. increasing level of oxygen 23. What does the underlined word circulating in paragraph 8 most probably mean?A balancingB growing
20、C. moving D. gathering24. What is Johnsons attitude to the application of the findings to the athletes training?A. Negative B. Doubting C. Positive D. Hesitating BTo learn to think is to learn to question. Those who dont question never truly think for themselves. These are simple rules that have gov
21、erned the advancement of science and human thought since the beginning of time. Advancements are made when thinkers question theories(理论) and introduce new ones. Unfortunately, it is often the great and respected thinkers who end up slowing the progress of human thought. Aristotle was a brilliant ph
22、ilosopher whose theories explained much of the natural world, often incorrectly. He was so respected by the scientific community that even 1,200 years after his death, scientists were still trying to build upon his mistakes rather than correct them!Brilliant minds can intimidate upandcoming thinkers
23、 who are not confident of their abilities. They often believe they are not as good as the minds of giants such as Aristotle, leading many to accept current ideas instead of questioning them.I, like many thinkers of the past, once believed in my mental weakness. I was certain that my parents, my teac
24、hersadults in generalwere always right. They were like a textbook to me; I didnt question what was written on those pages. I respected them, and accepted whatever they told me. But that attitude soon changed. My minds independence was first developed in the classroom.A stern, 65yearold elementarysch
25、ool science teacher once told me that light is a type of wave. I confidently went through years of school believing that light is a wave. One day，however, I heard the German exchange student mention that light could be made up of particles(粒子). As the others laughed at his statement, I started to qu
26、estion my beliefs.Maybe the teachers and textbooks hadnt given me the whole story. I went to the library, did some research and learned of the lightasawave versus lightasaparticle debate. I read about Einsteins discovery of the dual nature of light and learned the facts of a paradox(悖论) that puzzles
27、 the worlds greatest thinkers to this day. Light behaves as both a particle and a wave, it is both at once. I realized I had gone through life accepting only half of the story as the whole truth.Each new year brought more new facts, and I formulated even more questions. I found myself in the library
28、 after school, trying to find my own answers to gain a more complete understanding of what I thought I already knew. I discovered that my parents and teachers are good tools in my quest for knowledge, but they are never the final word. Even textbooks can be challenged. I learned to question my sourc
29、es, I learned to be a thinker. I once believed that everything I learned at home and at school was certain, but I have now discovered to reexamine when necessary.Questions are said to be the path to knowledge and truth, and I plan to continue questioning. How many things do we know for sure today th
30、at we will question in the future? At this moment, I know that our sun will burn for another five billion years, and I know nothing can escape the gravity of a black hole. This knowledge, however, may change in the next 20 yearsmaybe even in the next two. The one thing we can control now is our open
31、ness to discovery. Questions are the tools of open minds, and open minds are the key to intellectual advancement.25. In the first paragraph, Aristotle is taken as an example to show that _.Ahe is the greatest and respected philosopher of all timeBhuge influence of great thinkers may stop human thoug
32、ht from developingCadvancements are made when thinkers question theoriesDgreat thinkers often make mistakes and then correct them26. What does the underlined word “intimidate” in Paragraph 2 mean?AFrighten. BEncourage. CStrengthen. DPersuade.27. The author began to question his previous beliefs beca
33、use _.Awhat he learned from textbooks before turned out to be wrongBhe was inspired by the different ideas from an exchange studentChe was laughed at by other students for his unacceptable statementDhe was not satisfied with his life and desperate to achieve success28. According to the passage, the
34、author _.Alooks down upon great thinkers all the timeBnever doubts what he has learned in the textbookCalways throws himself into the laboratoryDis determined to be a thinker and questioner29. We can conclude from the last paragraph that _.Athe author is not quite sure about his futureBwe human bein
35、gs dont dare to predict futureCthe theory of black holes will change in two yearsDquestioning is necessary to promote advancement CIm one of seven children. My three sisters and I grew up in a small bedroom with two sets of beds. We shared a closet, a dresser, and just about everything else. Our bed
36、room always had stuff hanging about. How about the life of only children? I looked longingly at their perfect dolls and toys placed carefully on their perfect shelves in their perfect little girl bedrooms. They had bathrooms to themselves. These little girls would come home to everything just perfec
37、t. Looking back, I had to admit my “only children” friends had nice things. They had designer beds and beautiful bedrooms, but I always had someone to play with and talk to. Even if everyone else hated me, one of my sisters would not and that was all I needed. Our house was the center of activity fo
38、r the whole neighborhood. We had dance shows and baseball games in the street. We had everything we ever needed because we had each other. I have come to realize that there are so many reasons that sisters make a difference to your life and I can give you a few here:They get you. Your sisters have g
39、rown up with you so they know the entire back story of your situation and everything leading to it. They may not agree with you all the time but they never wonder why you do what you do or say what you say.They have suffered with you through awful times. I know that when one of my sisters is unhappy
40、, I am unhappy too. When some non-family member tries to hurt you, the claws of them will come out.They have cheered you on. Sisters do get jealous(妒忌的) at times but, even so, they are happy that you are doing well. They rejoice at your new bonus as long as you take them out for drinks and foods!The
41、y are on the same diet as you. We are women in a world where thinness is equal to beauty. No matter how unfair this is, we are always on a diet. There is nothing like a sister calling and complaining about how she wants an ice cream and cant ever have one again.They are aging at the same rate as you
42、. As we get older, we change, and however miserable this can be, it is heartening to know that someone shares your misery(痛苦). They know what you are going through because they are going through it too.The last and best thing about sisters is that they stick with us. We can have our upsets and misun
43、derstandings but we always come back to each other.I know many people reading this may have had upsets with their sisters. All I can say is communication fixes everything. If you miss your sister, tell her so. If you have a BFF (Best Friend Forever) that has stuck with you through thick and thin, ad
