It is difficult for doctors to help a person with a damaged brain. Without enough blood, the brain lives for only three to five minutes. More often the doctors can' t fix the damage. Sometimes they are afraid to try something to help because it is dangerous to work on the brain. The doctors might make the person worse if he operates on the brain.

Dr. Robert White, a famous professor and doctor, thinks he knows a way to help. He thinks doctors should make the brain very cold. If it is very cold, the brain can live without blood for 30 minutes. This gives the doctor a longer time to do something for the brain.

Dr. White tried his idea on 13 monkeys. First he taught them to do different jobs, then he operated on them. He made the monkeys' blood go through a machine. The machine cooled the blood. Then the machine sent the blood back to the monkeys' brains. When the brain' s temperature was 10°C, Dr. White stopped the blood to the brain. After 30 minutes he turned the blood back on. He warmed the blood again. After their operations the monkeys were like they had been before. They were healthy and busy. Each one could still do the jobs the doctor had taught them.

1.The biggest difficulty in operating on the damaged brain is that _______.

A. the time is too short for doctors

B. the patients are often too nervous

C. the damage is extremely hard to fix

D. the blood-cooling machine might break down

2.The brain operation was made possible mainly by _______.

A. taking the blood out of the brain

B. trying the operation on monkeys first

C. lowering the brain' s temperature

D. having the blood go through a machine

3.What is the right order of the steps in the operation?

a. send the cooled blood back to the brain

b. stop the blood to the brain

c. have the blood cooled down

d. operate on the brain

A. a,b,c,d B. c,a,b,d

C. c, b, d, a D. b, c, d, a

4.With Dr. White's new idea, the operation on the damaged brain _______.

A. can last as long as 30 minutes

B. can keep the brain's blood warm

C. can keep the patient's brain healthy

D. can help monkeys do different jobs

10．Food production does great harm to our environment．There are many procedures involved in the manufacture of food that result in greenhouse gases and other pollutants．Some procedures require the consumption of large amounts of fossil fuels，such as the transportation and storage of food products．Other factors that cause great damage to our environment include the overuse of fresh water．
    The production of beef is more damaging to the environment than that of any other food we consume，Raising large numbers of cattle requires the production of large amounts of food for the animals．It's estimated that producing one pound of beef requires seven pounds of feed．
    Land use is also a problem．If the cattle are free-range cattle，large areas of land are required for them to live on．This has led to disastrous forest cutting and the loss of rare plants and animal species，particularly in tropical rain forests in Central and South America．
    Another problem specific to beef production is methane emissions（甲烷排放）．Although many people are aware of the damaging effects of carbon dioxide，they don't realize methane's global warming potential is 25times worse，making it a more dire problem．
    Unfortunately，beef consumption is growing rapidly．This is the result of simple supply and demand factors．Specifically，there are two main causes of demand that are encouraging the production of more supply．First，the increase in the world population means there are more people to consume meat．The second factor is socioeconomic advancement．As citizens in developing nations become financially stable，they can afford to buy more meat．
    Therefore，one way to reduce the greenhouse gas emissions is for people around the world to significantly cut down on the amount of beef they eat．

32．Which of the following is TRUE？C
A．Raising free-range cattle is eco-friendly．
B．People cut down trees for animal habitats．
C．Producing beef can damage the environment．
D．Carbon dioxide causes far more harm than methane．
33．The underlined word"dire"in Para.4 meansA．
A．urgent  B．common  C．typical  D．a(chǎn)voidable
34．Beef production is growing rapidly becauseA．
A．more people are in demand of beef
B．developing countries raise more cattle
C．more land is available to raise cattle
D．the cost of raising cattle is relatively low
35．The author writes this article toD．
A．describe the booming of the beef production
B．emphasize the advantages of beef production
C．condemn the deforestation of the rain forest
D．a(chǎn)rgue for a decrease in beef consumption．
