| 第14、15、16、17、18题： Modern scientists divide theprocess of dying into two phases -- clinical or temporary death and biologicaldeath.Clinical death occurs when the vital organs，suchas the heart or lungs.have cease to function，but havenot suffered permanent damage.The organism can still be revived (复活).Biological death Occurs when changes in the organism lead to the “breaking up” of vital cells andtissues.Death is then unchangeable and final. Scientists have been seeking away to prolong the period of clinical death so that the organism can remainalive before biological death occurs.The best method developed so far involvescooling of the organism，combined with narcotic (麻醉的) sleep.By slowing down the body’smetabolism (新陈代谢)，coolingdelays the processes leading to biological death. To illustrate how this works，scientists performed an experiment on a six-year-old female monkeycalled Keta. The scientist put Keta to sleep with a narcotic.Then theysurrounded her body with ice bags and began checking her body temperature.Whenit had dropped to 28 degrees the scientists began draining blood from an artery(动脉).The monkey’s bloodpressure decreased and an hour later both the heart and respiration stopped：clinical death set in.For twenty minutes Keta remained in thisstate.Her temperature dropped to 22 degrees.At this point the scientists pumpedblood into an artery in the direction of the heart and started artificialrespiration.After two minutes Keta’s heart becomeactive once more.After fifteen minutes，spontaneous(自然产生的) respiration began, and after four hours Keta opened her eyes andlifted her head. After six hours，when the scientiststried to give her a penicillin injection，Keta seizedthe syringe (注射器) and ran with it around the room.Herbehavior differed little from that of a healthy animal. 1.Which of the followingstatements about the person who suffers from the clinical death is true A.He still has the possibilityof getting back to life. B.He is dead forever. C.Most of his important organshave been damaged permanently. D.Most of the important organscan go on functioning with little damage 2.Why do scientists try tomake the time of clinical death longer A.They want to slow down theprocess of metabolism. B.They want to bring thedamaged cells and tissues back to life. C.They want to delay thecoming of biological death. D.They want to save more timeto cool the organs 3.How did the scientists putthe monkey into clinical death A.By pumping blood into anartery in the direction of the heart. B.By surrounding her body withice bags for a long time. C.By stopping her respirationand draining her blood. D.By putting her to sleep,lowering her temperature and draining her blood 4.How long was Keta in thestate of clinical death A.2 minutes. B.20 minutes. C.4 hours. D.6 hours. 5.What happened to the monkeywhen she was restored to the original state again A.Her metabolism was slowerthan ever before. B.She was willing to have thepenicillin injection. C.She acted as lively as ahealthy monkey. D.Her heartbeat was not sostrong as before

| 第19、20、21、22、23题： 第二篇： New foods and the New World In the last 500 years, nothing about people-not their clothes, ideas, or languages – has changed as much as what they eat. The original chocolate was made from the seeds of the cocoa tree(可可树) by South American Indians. The Spanish Introduced it to the rest of the world during the 1500’s. And although it was very expensive, it quickly became fashionable. In London, shops where chocolate drinks were served became important meeting places. Some still exit today. The potato is also from the New World. Around 1600, the Spanish brought it from Peru to Europe, where it soon was widely grown. Ireland became so dependent on it that thousands of Irish people starved when the crop failed during the “potato Famine(饥荒)” of 1845-1846, and thousands more were forced to leave their homeland and move to America. There are many other foods that have traveled from South America to the Old World. But some others went in the opposite direction. Brazil is now the world’s largest grower of coffee, and coffee is an important crop in colombia and other South American countries. But it is native to Ethiopia, a country is Africa. It was first made into a drink by Aragbs during the 1400’s.
