    Everyone knows what a needle is. Of course there are needles and needles: Needles for sewing machines, needles for injection(注射), you name it. But few people think of the wonder : a needle works in the hands of those who practice acupuncture(针刺疗法).
    During the past ten years or so, I have been suffering from terrible headache. It seems to be getting from bad to worse these days . Last night I got a sudden pain in my head. It was so terrible that I could hardly bear(忍受)it. Although I swallowed all kinds of pain-killers(止痛药), I didn’t feel any better, It seemed that there was nothing I could do but phone for a doctor.
    One of our neighbours happened to be with us. He was not a doctor, but he timidly(胆怯地) offered his help, saying “Do you mind if I tried acupuncture on you? These needles may possibly do you some good.” I agreed. In a moment, he had taken out a few needles from his purse. Without a moment’s delay, he fixed a few needles into the skin on my head here and there, Before long, I felt thoroughly relieved(缓解疼痛).
    Just then, the doctor sped through my house and said, “Where is our patient?”
    “Sorry, Doctor, You are too late, It’s killed!” I answered in delight.

    People who have lost the ability to understand or use words due to brain damage are called aphasics(失语症患者).Such patients can be extremely good at something else.From the changing expressions on speakers’ faces and the tones of their voices,they can tell lies from truths.
    Doctors studying the human brain have given a number of examples of this amazing power of aphasics.Some have even compared this power to that of a dog with an ability to find out the drugs hidden in the baggage.
    Recently,scientists carried out tests to see if all that was said about aphasics was true.THEY STUDIED A MIXED GROUP OF PEOPLE.Some were normal;others were aphasics.It was proved that the aphasics were far ahead of the normal people in recognizing false speeches—in most cases,the normal people were fooled by words,but the aphasics were not.
    Some years ago,Dr.Oliver Sacks wrote in his book about his experiences with aphasics.He mentioned a particular case in a hospital.Some aphasics were watching the president giving a speech on TV.Since the president had been an actor earlier,making a good speech was no problem for him.He was trying to put his feelings into every word of his speech.
    But his way of speaking had the opposite effect on the patients.They didn’t seem to believe him.Instead,they burst into laughter.The aphasics knew that the president did not mean a word of what he was saying.He was lying!
    Many doctors see aphasics as people who are not completely normal because they lack the ability to understand words.However,according to Dr.Sacks,they are more gifted than normal people.Normal people may get carried away by words.Aphasics seem to understand human expressions better,though they cannot understand words.
    小题1:What is so surprising about aphasics?
    A．They can fool other people.B．They can find out the hidden drugs.
    C．They can understand language better.D．They can tell whether people are lying.
    小题2:How did the scientists study aphasics?
    A．By asking them to watch TV together.
    B．By organizing them into acting groups.
    C．By comparing them with normal people.
    D．By giving them chances to speak on TV.
    小题3:What do we learn from this text?
    A．What one says reflects how one feels.
    B．Aphasics have richer feelings than others.
    C．Normal people often tell lies in their speeches.
    D．People poor at one thing can be good at another.

    Sleeping in on Saturday after a few weeks of too little shuteye may feel refreshing, but it can give a false sense of security.
    New research shows long-term sleep loss cannot be cured that easily. Scientists researched the effects of short- and long-term sleep loss and found that those who suffer long-term sleep loss may function normally soon after waking up, but experience steadily slower reaction times as the day goes by, even if they had tried to catch up the previous night.
    The research has important safety significances in an increasingly busy society, not just for shift-workers but for the roughly one in six Americans who regularly get six hours or less of sleep a night.
    “We know that staying awake 24 hours without sleep will affect your performance to do all sorts of things, and this effect equals to drinking too much when driving,” said lead researcher Dr. Daniel Cohen of Boston’s Brigham and Women’s Hospital. But when those who suffer long-term sleep loss become all-nighters, “the harm is increased ten times,” Cohen said.
    The National Institutes of Health says adults need seven hours to nine hours of sleep for good health. Regularly getting too little sleep increases the risk of health problems, including memory impairment and a weakened immune system. More immediately, too little sleep affects reaction times; sleepiness is to blame for car crashes and other accidents.
    It has critically important complicated and unexpected results for anyone who works “crazy hours” and thinks they are performing fine with a few hours of weeknight sleep, said Harris, director at New York’s Montefiore Medical Center. “Don’t think you can just bank up your sleep on the weekend, because it doesn’t work that way,” he warned.
    小题1:The text mainly advises people ______.
    A．to sleep more timeB．to sleep in on Saturday
    C．to sleep scientifically D．to sleep little on weekend
    小题2:People with long-term sleep loss ______.
    A．are quicker in thinkingB．may feel refreshed soon after waking up
    C．are surely energeticD．can have a strong sense of security
    小题3:What can we learn from the text?
    A．Most of the Americans get six hours or less of sleep a night.
    B．Staying up is worse for those who suffer long-term sleep loss.
    C．Traffic accidents have little to do with sleepiness.
    D．One in six Americans are all-nighters.
    小题4:Which of the following is the immediate effect of long-term sleep loss?
    A．Health problemsB．Immune system
    C．Reaction timesD．Memory impairment
    小题5:The underlined phrase “bank up” in the last paragraph most probably means ____.
    A．pile upB．pick upC．add upD．build up

    D
    We all accept that sports should stress skill over luck，and fairness over privilege(特权)．
    They should be accessible to many and fun to watch．In the end，a sport,s champion should re-
    present shared values and served as a role model．
    But with today,s advances in technology，the power of sports equipment makers offers great
    opportunity for the athletes who have access to the latest technology.
    In 2008,108 world records were broken in the sport of swimming．The average number of
    world records set in swimming in all past Olympic years is about 22．The average number of
    world records set in a non-Olympic year is about 5．Now there are no“old”world records．
    Suit technology has been the most widely recognized difference．The sharkskin suit and the
    “paper”suits were all made public by suit manufactures before the Olympic．
    As records continue to be broken，the Internet message boards for the swimming community
    have taken a darker view of suit technology．“Time is meaningless”is one quote．I tend to agree．Some of the times I see being posted today are simply legends(传奇)．
    Am I against suit technology?Not really．But 2008 marked an unbelievable change in the
    sport of swimming．People are saying，“Bigger，faster，stronger at any cost!”，wanting no limits on technology，either suits or drugs．I am not one of those people．
    I am a guy that recognized the sport of swimming being as simple as man vs．water．It used
    to be the swimmer in the suit，not the suit on the swimmer．How times have changed．
    53．According to the first paragraph，it is a common belief that________.
    A．only a few people have chances to take part in sports

    A．Breaking records in swimming is too easy for most athelets．
    B．It,s technology rather than skill that counts in some records．
    C．Many athletes break records by luck and taking drugs．
    D．Some rules aren,t obeyed when Olympic records are broken．
    56．What,s the author,s opinion of the present sports?

          For as long as I can remember, I have been very bad at arguing with people. As soon as someone disagrees with me, I get angry because I feel attacked, like the other person is out to show that I am wrong. And for some reason, I hate being wrong! So my immediate reaction is to get very defensive, I raise my voice, and I end up saying something I later regret. Needless to say, the whole thing ends with me beating myself up, and the other person feeling alienated (疏远) from me. This bothers me especially because my mother does the exact same thing and I hate it!
    I have noticed this tendency in me for a long time now, but I have never been able to stop. I did some anger management work with a therapist (治疗专家) a while ago, but because I moved and turned to an advisor at school who cannot see me regularly, I have not been able to continue this important work. They tell you to stop and count to 10, control your breathing, calm yourself down before you talk. But that's the whole problem, I could never think of stopping myself until it was too late! The hurtful things had already come out of my mouth, and I was stuck picking up the pieces.
    Right now the problem is urgent because my relationship with a wonderful boyfriend is in danger because of my insecurity and hatred of being wrong. He is closing himself off to me because I have hurt him, and no doubt I am no longer attractive as a woman with no confidence in herself and a bad temper. How do I stop ruining my relationships and hating myself? How do I stop hating being wrong?
    67. In what situation will the writer get angry easily?
    A. When she has argument with people.
    B. When people disagree with her.
    C. When she is attacked.
    D. When she does something wrong.
    68. What does the underlined part in the first paragraph mean?
    A. My mother disagrees with me.
    B. My mother alienates herself from me.
    C. My mother has the same problem with me.
    D. My mother does the same wrong to me.
    69. In the second paragraph, what does the underlined word "tendency" refer to?
    A. Being bad at arguing with people.
    B. Hating being wrong.
    C. Being lost to others.
    D. Hating my mother.
    70. We can infer from the third paragraph that
    A. the writer feels helpless with her problem
    B. the writer finds it hard to count from one to ten
    C. the writer has received effective advice about her problem
    D. the writer is under the treatment of a therapist

    A. She is closing herself off to her boyfriend.
    B. She is much hurt by her boyfriend.
    C. Her boyfriend has broken up with her.
    D. She has to solve her problem in no time.

    Since the gene, called DAF-16 in worms, was found in many animals and in humans, the finding could open up new ways to affect aging, immunity(免疫)and resistance in humans, the scientists said.?
    “We wanted to find out how normal aging is being governed by genes and what effect these genes have on other traits, such as immunity,” said Robin May of the University of Birmingham, who led the study.?
    Populations across the world are aging at a surprising pace, bringing potentially big challenges for health and social care systems. A study by Danish scientists last year found that half of babies born in the rich world today will live to celebrate their 100th birthdays. Scientists are eager to find out how people age to try to develop drugs to help them stay healthier as their lives extend.?
    “What we have found is that things like resistance and aging tend to go hand in hand,” May said in an interview.?
    May’s team compared longevity, stress resistance and immunity in four related species of worm. They also looked for differences in the activity of DAF-16 in each of the four species, and found that they were all quite distinct.?
    May said DAF-16 was active in most cells in the body and was very similar to a group of human genes called FOXO genes, which scientists believe play a role in the aging process.?
    “The fact that subtle（微妙的）differences in DAF-16 between species seem to have such an impact on aging and health is very interesting and may explain how differences in lifespan and related traits have arisen during evolution,” May said.?
    71. In which section may the text appear in a newspaper? ?
    A. Education.              B. Science.          C. Entertainment.         D. Culture.
    72. According to May_________,.?
    A. resistance has a lot to do with aging?
    B. FOXO genes can be found in worms?
    C. genes play the same role in different species?
    D. new drugs will change the genes in older people
    73. What can we know from the third paragraph??
    A. New ways have been found to affect aging. ?
    B. Babies in the rich world will all live longer. ?
    C. Present social care systems are poorly managed.?
    D. Aging populations are causing more challenges.
    74. From the text we know that DAF-16.?
    A. is a gene that is only found in worms?
    B. can make people live longer?
    C. has an effect on aging and immunity?
    D. has been quite familiar to scientists
    75. What can be the best title of the passage??
    A. Scientists Find Gene Linked to Aging?
    B. Population Aging Faster than Expected?
    C. How to Make People Live Longer?
    D. Gene Determines How Long We Live
