1.The human body has developed its millions of nerves to be highly aware of what goes on both inside and outside of it. This helps us aajust to the outside world. Without our nerves and our brain, which is a system of nerves, we couldn’t know what’s happening. But we pay for our sensitivity. We can feel pain when the slightest thing is wrong with any part of our body. The history of torture is based on the human body being open to pain. But there is a way to handle pain. Look at the Indian fakir (苦行僧) who sits on a bed of nails. Fakirs can put a needle right through an arm, and feel no pain. This ability that some humans have developed to handle pain should give us ideas about how the mind can deal with pain. The big thing in withstanding pain is our attitude toward it. If the dentist says, “This will hurts a little,” it helps us to accept the pain. By staying relaxed, and by treating the pain as an interesting sensation, we can handle the pain without falling apart. After all, although pain is an unpleasant sensation, it is still a sensafion, and sensations are the stuff of life. [共5题]1.The human body has developed a system of nerves that enables us to ________.A.stay relaxedB.avoid painC.stand tortureD.feel pain2.What does the writer mean by saying “we pay for our sensitivity” in Para.1?A.We have to take care of our sense of pain.B.We suffer from our sense of feeling.C.We should try hard to resist pain.D.We are hurt when we feel pain.3.When the author mentions the Indian fakir, he shows that ________.A.fakirs possess magic powerB.Indians are not afraid of painC.people can learn to cope with painD.some people are born without a sense of pain4.What is essential for people to stand pain according to the writer?A.Their relaxation.B.Their interest.C.Their nerves.D.Their attitude.5.The author believes that ________.A.feeling pain is part of our lifeB.pain should be avoided at all costsC.feeling pain can be an interesting thingD.magic power is essential for reducing pain

  • 第4题:

    根据下面资料,回答题
    I′ve often wondered how exactly sleep, or lack of it, can have such an awful effect on our bodies and, guess what, how much we sleep switches good genes on and bad genes off.
    In the first half of 2013, the Sleep Research Centre at the University of Surrey found a direct link between hours spent sleeping and genes. Every cell in our bodies carries genetic instructions in our DNA that act as a kind of operating handbook. However, each cell only "reads" the part of this handbook it needs at any given moment.
    Can sleep affect how a gene reads instructions It′s a question asked by Professor Derk-Jan Dijk at the University of Surrey. He set up an experiment and asked his volunteers to spend a week sleeping around seven and a half hours to eight hours a night and the next sleeping six and a half to seven hours.
    Blood samples were taken each week to compare which genes in blood cells were being used during the long and short nights. The results were rather surprising. Several hundred genes changed in the amount they were being used, including some that are linked to heart disease, cancer, and Type 2 diabetes. Genes to do with cell repair and replacement were used much less.
    Sleep restriction (six and a half to seven hours a night) changed 380 genes. Of these,220 genes were down regulated (their power was reduced), while 160 were up regulated (their power was increased). Those affected included body-clock genes which are linked to diabetes. One of the most downgraded genes is that which has a role in controlling insulin and is linked to diabetes and insomnia. The most upgraded gene is linked to heart disease.
    So changing sleep by tiny amounts can upgrade or downgrade genes that can influence our health and the diseases we suffer from when we sleep too little.
    The important message is that getting close to eight hours of sleep a night can make a dramatic difference to our health in just a few days through the way it looks after our genes.

    Which of the following may be concluded from the passage 查看材料

    A.The experiment was performed at the University of Surrey in early 2013.
    B.Body-clock genes are associated with heart disease, cancer and Type 2 diabetes.
    C.Sleep restrictions may contribute to disease like diabetes, insomnia, and heart disease.
    D.7.5-8 hours' sleep pattern makes little difference compared with 6.5-7 hours' sleep pattern.

    答案:C
    解析:
    推断题。根据第五段内容可知,睡眠时间不足可能引起人体基因的变化,而这些基因变化可以导致人体某些病症的产生,如糖尿病、失眠症、心脏病等,故C项正确。文章第二段的第一句话中虽然提到了“In the first half of 2013”和“at the University of Surrey”.但这里指的是英国萨里大学睡眠研究中心的一项发现,而不是指后来Derk-Jan Dijk教授所进行的实验,故A项不正确。文中提到了body-clock genes(控制生物钟的基因)与糖尿病有关,并没有提到它们和其他疾病的关系,故B项不正确。根据倒数第二段“So changing sleep by tiny amounts Can upgrade or downgrade genes that Can influence our health…”及最后一段“The important message is that getting close to eight hours of sleep a night Can make a dramatic difference to our health…”可知D项不正确。故本题选C。

    Text 3 Scientists have found that although we are prone to snap overreactions,if we take a moment and think about how we are likely to react,we can reduce or even eliminate the negative effects of our quick,hardwired responses.Snap decisions can be important defense mechanisms;if we are judging whether someone is dangerous,our brains and bodies are hardwired to react very quickly,within milliseconds.But we need more time to assess other factors.To accurately tell whether someone is sociable,studies show,we need at least a minute,preferably five.It takes a while to judge complex aspects of personality,like neuroticism or openmindedness.But snap decisions in reaction to rapid stimuli aren't exclusive to the interpersonal realm.Psychologists at the University of Toronto found that viewing a fastfood logo for just a few milliseconds primes us to read 20 percent faster,even though reading has little to do with eating.We unconsciously associate fast food with speed and impatience and carry those impulses into whatever else we're doing.Subjects exposed to fastfood flashes also tend to think a musical piece lasts too long.Yet we can reverse such influences.If we know we will overreact to consumer products or housing options when we see a happy face(one reason good sales representatives and real estate agents are always smiling),we can take a moment before buying.If we know female job screeners are more likely to reject attractive female applicants,we can help screeners understand their biases—or hire outside screeners.John Gottman,the marriage expert,explains that we quickly“thin slice”information reliably only after we ground such snap reactions in“thick sliced”longterm study.When Dr.Gottman really wants to assess whether a couple will stay together,he invites them to his island retreat for a much longer evaluation;two days,not two seconds.Our ability to mute our hardwired reactions by pausing is what differentiates us from animals:doges can think about the future only intermittently or for a few minutes.But historically we have spent about 12 percent of our days contemplating the longer term.Although technology might change the way we react,it hasn't changed our nature.We still have the imaginative capacity to rise above temptation and reverse the highspeed trend.

    问答题
    In this section, there is one passage followed by a summary. Read the passage carefully, and then complete the summary below by choosing a maximum of three words from the passage to fill in each of the blanks. Remember to write the answers on the answer sheet.  Questions 1 to 5 are based on the following passage.  Everyone knows about pollution in the environment. Water, air, and land are all polluted. This means that pollution is everywhere. Now, scientists are looking inside our bodies to find out about internal pollution.  In 2003, the Environmental Working Group studied nine people to measure the chemicals in their bodies. These nine people had an average of 53 cancer-causing chemicals in their bodies. They also had an average of 62 chemicals that can damage the brain, and 55 that can harm babies in pregnant women. Even though a lot of chemicals were found in human bodies, the chemicals were found in small amounts. The amounts were small enough that they were probably not hurting the people. However, scientists are worried because most of these chemicals were created by humans. Most of these chemicals did not exist 75 years ago. This proves that we have not only polluted the world—we have polluted our own bodies!  How does this pollution get into our bodies? We come into contact with many chemicals every day. For example, everyone uses soap, skin lotion, and shampoo. However, few people know that these products contain harmful chemicals, some of which may cause memory loss. Chemicals known as DEA (diethanolamine) and TEA (triethanolamine) may seep into the skin and stop us from absorbing a helpful nutrient called “choline”. Choline is a nutrient that plays a crucial role in the memory cell making process in the developing brain. Some people worry that every time we wash our hair, we are decreasing our memories.  Everyone knows they should brush their teeth regularly, but recent research has shown that some toothpastes can cause cancer. Fluoride is a key ingredient in many toothpastes. However, studies show that fluoride does not really protect our teeth. In fact, fluoride has been connected with bone cancer and other diseases. While we are trying to save our smiles, we could be damaging our health.  Women are probably exposed to more chemicals than men because they use more beauty products. Recently, harmful chemicals have been found in nail polish, hair spray, deodorant, and perfume. The chemicals are called “phthalates”. Studies on animals have shown that phthalates can damage the liver, the kidneys, and the lungs. Cosmetic companies say the amounts of phthalates in their products are safe, but consumer protection groups disagree. They say some women use so many products that the levels are actually high. So, the more women try to look beautiful, the more they could be harming their health.  In a futuristic story by Ray Bradbury, a man found a pristine stream on a new planet. When he drank from the stream, he died! Why? His body was so polluted that pure water was a poison to him! Perhaps that is only science fiction, but it reminds us to take care of our bodies. We must find ways to reduce the pollution we absorb.  Summary:  Like our polluted environment, our bodies are no longer pollution-free. Scientists now know that there is pollution in our bodies. On  1 , we have 53 cancer-causing chemicals in our bodies. Even fluoride  2 with bone cancer and other diseases. Some common cosmetics contain small amounts of chemicals, which seep into our  3 when we use these products. They prevent us from absorbing the  4 our bodies need. So, it is  5 that we find ways to reduce the amount of chemicals in our bodies. We should remind our friends and families to take care of their bodies.

    正确答案:
    1.average 第二段中提到:2003年,环境工作组对九个人做了调查研究,其结果显示他们有an average of 53 cancer - causing chemicals in their bodies,这九个人代表了我们普通人群。
    2.has been connected / is connected 第四段倒数第二句明确提到In fact, fluoride has been connected with bone cancer and other diseases。
    3.skin 第三段以香皂、润肤露和洗发水等普通化妆品为例讲述了它们中含有的DEA和TEA “may seep into the skin…”,且由常识可知,化妆品直接与皮肤接触,使用过程中很容易渗透进皮肤,因此答案为skin。
    4.nutrients 第三段提到日用护肤品中含有的DEA和TEA may seep into the skin and stop us from absorbing a helpful nutrient called “choline”,由此类推,可知普通化妆品的使用会妨碍我们的身体吸收其所需要的营养物。nutrient营养物,滋养品。
    5.crucial 本文详细论述了化学物质会对我们的身体造成巨大的伤害,最后一句又提到我们必须想办法减少体内吸收的污染物,由此可知寻找减少我们体内的化学物质的方法是至关重要的。另外,答案还可以是important,essential等意义相近的词。

    根据下面资料,回答题
    I′ve often wondered how exactly sleep, or lack of it, can have such an awful effect on our bodies and, guess what, how much we sleep switches good genes on and bad genes off.
    In the first half of 2013, the Sleep Research Centre at the University of Surrey found a direct link between hours spent sleeping and genes. Every cell in our bodies carries genetic instructions in our DNA that act as a kind of operating handbook. However, each cell only "reads" the part of this handbook it needs at any given moment.
    Can sleep affect how a gene reads instructions It′s a question asked by Professor Derk-Jan Dijk at the University of Surrey. He set up an experiment and asked his volunteers to spend a week sleeping around seven and a half hours to eight hours a night and the next sleeping six and a half to seven hours.
    Blood samples were taken each week to compare which genes in blood cells were being used during the long and short nights. The results were rather surprising. Several hundred genes changed in the amount they were being used, including some that are linked to heart disease, cancer, and Type 2 diabetes. Genes to do with cell repair and replacement were used much less.
    Sleep restriction (six and a half to seven hours a night) changed 380 genes. Of these,220 genes were down regulated (their power was reduced), while 160 were up regulated (their power was increased). Those affected included body-clock genes which are linked to diabetes. One of the most downgraded genes is that which has a role in controlling insulin and is linked to diabetes and insomnia. The most upgraded gene is linked to heart disease.
    So changing sleep by tiny amounts can upgrade or downgrade genes that can influence our health and the diseases we suffer from when we sleep too little.
    The important message is that getting close to eight hours of sleep a night can make a dramatic difference to our health in just a few days through the way it looks after our genes.

    Which of the following can be inferred from the findings of the sleep research 查看材料

    A.When there is a sleep restriction, genes to do with cell repair and replacement function less.
    B.In a sleep, several hundred genes change in the amount. The more changes, the worse results.
    C.When genes are up regulated, they do good to health; when genes arc down regulated, they do harm to health.
    D.Eight hours of sleep a day can be beneficial to our health in that it looks after our genes.

    答案:D
    解析:
    推断题。根据文章最后一段“The important message is that getting close to eight hours of sleep a night Can make a dramatic difference to our health in just a few days through the way it looks after our genes.”可知,8个小时的睡眠模式对人体是非常有益的,因为这样的睡眠时间能很好地照料我们的基因,D项是此段话的同义表达,故选D。A项属于原文的直接信息,不用推断。B项说法错误,改变越多,并不一定意味着结果越差,要看这种改变是导致基因活性降低还是上升。文章第五段中提到,在下调程度最高的基因中,有一种负责控制胰岛素合成的基因与糖尿病和失眠密切相关,而上调程度最高的基因则与心脏病有关联,可见基因下调和上调均可能对健康有害,故C项说法错误。

    What can we learn about Professor Derk-Jan Dijk′ s experiment 查看材料

    A.The experiment was carried out to find the answer to how genes affect sleep.
    B.The experiment took a period of more than two weeks to reach a conclusion.
    C.His volunteers were divided into two groups with two different sleeping patterns.
    D.Blood samples of the volunteers were checked afterwards to decide how many genes changed in sleeping.

    答案:B
    解析:
    推断题。定位于第三段和第四段。根据第三段的第一句话“Can sleep affect how a gene reads instructions ”可知Derk-Jan Dijk教授的实验是为了发现睡眠对人体基因变化的影响.而不是基因影响睡眠,故A项不正确。根据第三段的最后一句话“He set up an experiment and asked his volunteers to spend a week sleeping around seven and a half hours to eight hours a night and the next sleeping six and a half to seven hours.”可知,他并没有将志愿者进行分组,而是要求他们第一周每晚睡七个半到八个小时,第二周将睡眠时间调整为六个半到七个小时,故C项不正确。再结合第四段的前两句话,他将志愿者这两周的血液样本进行比对,观察基因运作情况的不同.实验结果令人大吃一惊。由此可推断出,这个实验进行了两周多才得出结论,故B项正确,D项不正确,采集血液样品是为了比较在不同睡眠时长下所用到的基因的不同,而不是多少基因被改变。

    Text 3 Scientists have found that although we are prone to snap overreactions,if we take a moment and think about how we are likely to react,we can reduce or even eliminate the negative effects of our quick,hardwired responses.Snap decisions can be important defense mechanisms;if we are judging whether someone is dangerous,our brains and bodies are hardwired to react very quickly,within milliseconds.But we need more time to assess other factors.To accurately tell whether someone is sociable,studies show,we need at least a minute,preferably five.It takes a while to judge complex aspects of personality,like neuroticism or openmindedness.But snap decisions in reaction to rapid stimuli aren't exclusive to the interpersonal realm.Psychologists at the University of Toronto found that viewing a fastfood logo for just a few milliseconds primes us to read 20 percent faster,even though reading has little to do with eating.We unconsciously associate fast food with speed and impatience and carry those impulses into whatever else we're doing.Subjects exposed to fastfood flashes also tend to think a musical piece lasts too long.Yet we can reverse such influences.If we know we will overreact to consumer products or housing options when we see a happy face(one reason good sales representatives and real estate agents are always smiling),we can take a moment before buying.If we know female job screeners are more likely to reject attractive female applicants,we can help screeners understand their biases—or hire outside screeners.John Gottman,the marriage expert,explains that we quickly“thin slice”information reliably only after we ground such snap reactions in“thick sliced”longterm study.When Dr.Gottman really wants to assess whether a couple will stay together,he invites them to his island retreat for a much longer evaluation;two days,not two seconds.Our ability to mute our hardwired reactions by pausing is what differentiates us from animals:doges can think about the future only intermittently or for a few minutes.But historically we have spent about 12 percent of our days contemplating the longer term.Although technology might change the way we react,it hasn't changed our nature.We still have the imaginative capacity to rise above temptation and reverse the highspeed trend.
    To reverse the negative influences of snap decisions,we should_____

    A.trust our first impression
    B.do as people usually do
    C.think before we act
    D.ask for expert advice

    答案:C
    解析:
    细节题【命题思路】本题主要考查考生对于段落具体信息的把握和理解,了解要扭转快速决定带来的影响,我们应采取的措施,并且能够识别出选项信息和原文信息的关键词发生的同义替换,排除偷换概念以及无中生有等的干扰选项。【直击答案】根据题干关键词“reverse the negative influences”定位到第四段。第四段主要通过两个例子:“consumer products or housing options”和“female job screeners”,说明我们应该怎样克服负面影响。即可说明我们应该在行动之前先思考来消除负面影响,因此选择答案C项。【排除干扰】A项“相信我们的第一印象”;B项“按照人们通常所做的去做”;D项“寻求专业建议”均属于无中生有,故排除。

    The time needed in making decisions may_____

    A.vary according to the urgency of the situation

    细节题【命题思路】本题主要考查考生对于段落具体信息的把握和理解,考生应能精准掌握与题相关内容,选出对原文相关内容同义置换的正确选项,并能排除无中生有,偷换概念和张冠李戴等干扰选项。【直击答案】根据题干关键词time定位到第一段if we take a moment…hardwired responses处。该处说明我们做决定所花的时间决定了我们判断的准确性。第二段第二句话以But这一转折连词引导,为重点关注信息,“但是,我们需要更多的时间来评估其他要素。”而本段的第三、四句,也很明显地揭示出本题正确答案,尤其是第三句中的“accurately”一词和D项中的“accuracy”为同词异形,故此项为正确答案。【排除干扰】A项无中生有,本文并没有出现类似信息,也不能从文章中总结得出。B项无中生有,本文主要在讲快速决定,而非大脑的复杂性。C项与原文不符,排除。

    Passage 1Scientistshave found that although we are prone to snap overreactions, if we take amoment and think about how we are likely to react, we can reduce or eveneliminate the negative effects of our quick, hard-wired responses.Snapdecisions can be important defense mechanisms; if we are judging whethersomeone is dangerous, our brains and bodies are hard-wired to react veryquickly, within milliseconds. But we need more time to assess other factors. Toaccurately tell whether someone is sociable, studies show, we need at least aminute, preferably five. It takes a while to judge complex aspects ofpersonality, like neuroticism or open-mindedness.Butsnap decisions in reaction to rapid stimuli aren't exclusive to the interpersonalrealm. Psychologists at the University of Toronto found that viewing a fast-foodlogo for just a few milliseconds primes us to read 20 percent faster, eventhough reading has little to do with eating. We unconsciously associate fastfood with speed and impatience and carry those impulses into whatever elsewe're doing. Subjects exposed to fast-food flashes also tend to think a musicalpiece lasts too long.   Yet we can reverse suchinfluences. If we know we will overreact to consumer products or housingoptions when we see a happy face  (onereason good sales representatives and real estate agents are always smiling),we can take a moment before buying. If we know female job screeners are morelikely to reject attractive female applicants, we can help screeners understandtheir biases-or hire outside screeners. John  Gottman,the marriage expert, explains that we quickly thin slice information reliably only after we ground suchsnap reactions in  thicksliced long-term study. When Dr. Gottman really wants to assess whether a couple will stay together, he invitesthem to his island retreat for a much longer evaluation: two days, not twoseconds. Our ability to mute our hard-wired reactionsby pausing is what differentiates us from animals dogs can think about thefuture only intermittently or for a few minutes. But historically we have spentabout 12 percent of our days contemplating the longer term. Although technologymight change the way we react, it hasn't changed our nature. We still have theimaginative capacity to rise above temptation and reverse the high-speed trend.To reverse the negative influences of snap decisions, we should______ .
