17．Travel is exciting and summer is a busy period for holiday travel．Many people will travel great distances in airplanes，cars or other vehicles．Experts say people should know about other health problems that can strike when traveling by air．
One of these is a condition called hypoxia （缺氧癥）．It results from a lack of oxygen to the brain．Experts say the body begins losing oxygen minutes after an airplane leaves the ground．The air pressure in a plane during flight is lower than at sea level．This makes it more difficult for the body to effectively use the same amount of oxygen as it would on the ground．Fewer oxygen molecules （分子） cross the tissues （組織） in the lungs and reach the bloodstream．
The result is a five to twenty percent drop in the amount of oxygen in the blood．This reduces the amount of oxygen that reaches the organs of the body．
One effect of this lack of oxygen to the brain is a headache．When this happens，the heart attempts to fix the situation by beating harder and faster．This can make the traveler feel tired．
These signs of hypoxia are not dangerous in a healthy person．But a drop in oxygen level can cause a health emergency in people with heart or lung problems．They might lose consciousness or even suffer a heart attack．
Experts say that smoking cigarettes and drinking alcoholic liquids also reduce the body's ability to use oxygen．So they suggest that people not drink alcohol or smoke cigarettes either before or during a flight．They also say persons with heart or lung problems should seek advice from their doctors before flying．
63．The author writes the passage mainly toC．
A．warn people in airplanes of possible dangers
B．offer some advice on avoiding health problems
C．explain the causes and effects of hypoxia
D．a(chǎn)dvise people not to smoke or drink alcohol
64．According to the passage，what leads to hypoxia？A
A．The brain lacks enough oxygen．
B．The air pressure in a plane is too high．
C．Our body needs less oxygen during takeoff．
D．The bloodstream contains no oxygen molecules．
65．The underlined part"fix the situation"means"D"．
A．use more oxygen it needs            
B．increase the air pressure
C．reduce the amount of blood          
D．bump more blood to the brain
66．Why should passengers not smoke or drink before flying？A
A．They weaken the body's ability to use oxygen．
B．Smoking may pollute the air inside the airplane．
C．Drinking alcohol may raise one's blood pressure．
D．Drinking is forbidden at the airport．

分析 文章講述的是關(guān)于坐飛機(jī)旅行時(shí)會(huì)出現(xiàn)的缺氧癥的原因和造成的后果．

解答 CADA
63：C 推理判斷題，根據(jù)第一段的Experts say people should know about other health problems that can strike when traveling by air可知，文章是向讀者解釋缺氧癥的原因和后果．
64：A 事實(shí)細(xì)節(jié)題，根據(jù)第二段It results from a lack of oxygen to the brain可知，是由于大腦缺氧導(dǎo)致
65：D 推理判斷題，根據(jù)第三段內(nèi)容可知，解決這種情況指的是給大腦提供更多的血液．
66：A 事實(shí)細(xì)節(jié)題，根據(jù)最后一段Experts say that smoking cigarettes and drinking alcoholic liquids also reduce the body's ability to use oxygen可知，

點(diǎn)評 做閱讀時(shí)經(jīng)常犯錯(cuò)的主要原因是，僅憑讀過文章后殘留在腦海中的一絲印象來勾選答案，這樣便很容易掉入出題人故意設(shè)布下的題目陷阱．所謂閱讀理解，對于題目的理解一定要忠實(shí)于原文，因此，每一道題都應(yīng)該與原文作全面的對比與核查，再得出答案．也就是說，閱讀理解的每一道題目，在原文都應(yīng)該有明確的出處，我們把這一出處叫做原文相關(guān)句，（1）排除與原文相關(guān)句主題不一致的選項(xiàng)（2）排除與原文相關(guān)句態(tài)度相反的選項(xiàng)  （3）排除用于過于極端或負(fù)面的選項(xiàng)（4）注意結(jié)合文章主旨和主題去排除．

7．Five teens from Sarasota，F(xiàn)lorida，are making music from garbage．The Garbage-Men band's instruments are made from recycled objects．The guitars are boxes．A horn is made from pipes．The keyboard is formed from old bottles．
The band started about two years ago．Jack Berry decided to make a playable，homemade guitar．After some trial-and-error，he ended up building it from a cereal box，a yardstick and toothpicks．After Jack showed his creation to his friend Ollie Gray，Ollie had the idea to form a band using other homemade instruments as a way to promote recycling．"We want to show people there is more to recycling than throwing things away in the bin（垃圾箱），"Jack，16，said，"You can actually reuse materials．"

The band-all tenth graders-tries to play a gig（演奏會(huì)）for America's Got Talent．The teens hope to eventually take their show on the road by touring in other states．"Music is a really good way to get a good message across to people because it's really accessible，"Jack says．Their instruments may be garbage，but their message isn't．

8．There is no doubt that a common language used throughout the world would do much to bring countries closer to each other．Though it is becoming increasingly easy to move from place to place，our inability to communicate with one another gives rise to numerous misunderstandings and makes real contact between people of differing nationalities impossible．Many attempts have been made to overcome this problem and they have all failed．The fear of foreign influence and domination rules out the universal acceptance of any one of the existing major languages．Aware of this difficulty，many linguists have constructed artificial languages which could have no possible political overtones （暗示）．They have argued that a language of this sort would perform much the same service as Latin did in the Middle Ages．
Although linguists succeeded in making their artificial languages extremely simple so that they would be easy to learn，their efforts seemed   doomed from the start．The reason for this is that there is no real motivation to learn an artificial language．There is nothing to guarantee that everybody is willing to make the effort； there is no assurance that the learner will have any adequate return for his hard work．When people today undertake to learn a foreign language，they are not interested only in speaking it．Mastery of a language makes available to the learner a great deal of worthwhile literature and many current publications．This is the biggest stumbling-block of all for the artificially-constructed tongue．Having no literature of its own，all it can offer is a limited number of translations，which are valueless in themselves．Nor can it acquire any literature；for it would have to be used for a great many generations before this could become possible．Moreover，constant use over a long period would bring into being many'national'dialects and the language would thus defeat its own purpose．
Another serious objection is the fact that a language is shaped by use and not by design．It is a living thing which is forever growing and changing．It takes hundreds of years before it can acquire richness and depth．In an artificial language，however，the meanings of words are rigidly defined．Inflexibility makes for an absence of subtlety （微妙），so that no really fine meaning can be conveyed．Though this quality might be admirable for scientific publications，it greatly slows the formation of any significant literature．Latin was ideal in this respect，for it was a'dead'language with a literature； an artificial one is'dead'from the start．This makes it likely that existing language barriers will remain with us for a very long time．

59．What would be the best title for this passage？C
A．A Solution to Language Barrier
B．Language Barriers In Communication
C．Problems With Artificial Languages
D．Latin，A Dead But Ideal Language
60．What does the underlined word"doomed"in Paragraph 2mean？A
A．defeated       B．a(chǎn)cclaimed     C．disliked     D．welcomed
61．Artificial languages haven't succeeded in overcoming language barriers mainly becauseB．
A．they lack motivation to learners
B．they have no literature of their own
C．they are designed but not shaped in use
D．they will be mixed with national dialects
62．The author's attitude towards artificial languages can be best described asD．
A．optimistic      B．sarcastic      C．positive     D．negative．

5．In the United States，it is not customary to telephone someone very early in the morning．If you telephone him early in the day，while he is shaving or having breakfast，the time of the call shows that the matter is very important and requires immediate attention．The same meaning is attached to telephone calls made after 11：00 p．m．If someone receives a call during sleeping hours，he assumes it's a matter of life and death．The time chosen for the call communications is important．
In social life，time plays a very important part．In the U．S．A．guests tend to feel they are not highly regarded if the attention to a dinner party is extended only three or four days before the party date．But it is not true in all countries．In other areas of the world，it may be considered foolish to make an appointment too far in advance because plans which are made for a date more than a week away tend to be forgotten．The meaning of time differs in different parts of the world．Thus，misunderstandings arise between people from cultures that treat time differently．Promptness （準(zhǔn)時(shí)） is valued highly in American life，for example．If people are not prompt，they may be regarded as impolite or not fully responsible．In the U．S．no one would think of keeping a business friend waiting for an hour．It would be too impolite．A person who is 5 minutes late is expected to make a short apology．If he is less than 5 minutes late，he will say a few words of explanation，though perhaps he will not complete the sentence．
62．"The same meaning is attached to telephone calls after 11：00p．m．"Here"attached"meansC．
A．taken       B．drawn        C．given         D．shown

65．According to the passage，the author of the article may agree to which of the following statements？B
A．It is appropriate to send your invitation cards three or four days before a dinner party date in the U．S．A．
B．It may be appropriate to send your invitation cards to your guests three or four days before a dinner party date in some countries．

12．There are many differences between America and China．The biggest difference is traffic rules．In America there are too much more cars than in China．But there are much fewer traffic jams and accidents in America than in China．We hardly see traffic police in the street，but all cars obey strictly traffic rules，and people hardly find that a car does not obey traffic rules in the street．
About American traffic rules，there are many better terms，such as：
1．Stop line：There are stop lines in all crossing without traffic light （some have two stop lines and others have four stop lines）．All cars must stop while meeting the stop line．
2．Traffic light：There is traffic light in the crossing of the road．Cars may almost turn every direction．The traffic light can give signal step by step including u-turn．There is a kind of middle lane of turning left．When a car wants to turn left in the road，he may enter into the middle lane of turning left and give a signal of turning left．When he thinks being safe，he may turn left．In many conditions the order of passing is also given very specifically．If people want to change lane or turn，they must look behind and think being safe．Only so，they may do it．
3．Specific item：Such as parking，there are three kinds of lines （their colors are white，blue or red） in the roadside．Every line may park different kinds of cars．There are many streets in some residential areas （住宅區(qū)），and there is a kind of rule that any car cannot park at any time or any period time．In every parking，there are some special positions for invalid （傷殘的） people．
4．About the priority of passenger and car：At any case，passengers have the priority to cars．And only after passengers have passed the road and got the top of sidestep，cars may go ahead．
In general，traffic rules of America are very specific，convenient，safe and humanizing．

59．Which of the following is NOT the reason why we can hardly see traffic police in the street in America？C
A．Traffic police are not very necessary because few cars break traffic rules．
B．The traffic is very clear and there are few traffic jams and accidents in the street．
C．There are so many cars in the street that the traffic police can't be seen．
D．The effective traffic rules play an important part in the road safety．
60．Why is there a middle lane of turning left on the road？A
A．It is designed for the cars that want to turn left．
B．It is very safe to drive there．
C．It is very convenient for the traffic police to find the cars that break the rules．
D．The cars that want to turn left can easily give a signal of turning left．
61．Which of the following statements is TRUE according to the passage？D
A．In America，all cars in the crossing must stop when they meet the stop line．
B．In America，any car cannot park in the streets in some residential areas．
C．If people want to turn，they can obey the guide of the traffic police．
D．There are more traffic jams in China．
62．What's the best title for the passage？A
A．American Traffic Rules
B．Differences in Traffic Rules between China and America
C．Traffic Jams in America
D．American People Who Obey Traffic Rules．

2．A dog-lover has invented a high-tech way of feeding his pet by Twitter（推特，流行社交網(wǎng)絡(luò)）．Computer expert Nat Morris，30，has designed a system to give his pet a"tweet treat"by sending him a Twitter message．
His dog Toby gets some delicious dog biscuits from a computer-controlled food machine whenever Nat sends a message to"@feedtoby"．
Nat often works away from home and isn't always able to feed Toby by hand．But his new invention allows Nat to feed his dog from anywhere in the world．
Nat said，"Toby absolutely loves it．At first he didn't know what was going on．Now he sits underneath the machine，wagging his tail and waiting for the treats to drop．"
Nat fills the food machine with small pieces of dog biscuits，but not too many in case four-year-old Toby gets too many messages．And Nat has even equipped his house with an online camera so he can see Toby enjoying the food at his home．
But one problem is that friends and family have been so amazed with the"Tweet treat"machine that．they have starting to send tweets to Toby too．So Nat has had to restrict feeding time to make sure Toby doesn't turn into Tubby．
"People have been sending him food at all hours of the day，so I had to limit it to between 9a．m．a(chǎn)nd 9p．m..I'm thinking of doing an updated one which measures his weight before he is fed，just to make sure he's not putting on too much puppy fat，"explained Nat．
How Nat's Twitter Feeder Works：
When a message is sent to@feedtoby it is received by a mini-computer that is linked to the food machine．
When the mini-computer receives the message，a bell rings and Toby comes running over and sits in front of the feeding machine．Next the machine's motor pulls open a trap door which releases a serving of food．
The doggy biscuits then drops into Toby's food bowl．Finally a digital camera takes a photo of him and sends it back to Nat on Twitter-so he knows Toby has been fed．

25．Nat has invented a high-tech way to feed his dog because heC．
A．wants his friends to feed Tody
B．has very strong computing skills
C．is often too busy to feed his dog

C．He wants hid friends to stop feeding Toby．
D．He doesn't want Toby to be woken up at night．
27．It can be learned from the passage that TobyB．

9．Have you eaten too much over the holidays？You should try fidgetingfor a while．Those around you might not like it，but scratching （moving your nails against a part of your body） and twitching （moving suddenly and quickly when you don't want to） is an important way of burning up calories．
 American researchers have found that some people's squirming （continuously turn your body when nervous） and wigging （move in small movements，especially from side to side） equals several miles of slow running each day．
 The scientists，based at the National Institute of Health's laboratory in Phenix，Arizona，are studying why some people get fat and other stay slim．
  In one study 177 people each spent 24 hours in a room in the institute where the amount of energy is measured by their oxygen and carbon dioxide levels．By the end of the day，some people had burned up 800 calories in toe-tapping，（moving the front part of your foot up and down） finger-drumming （hitting your fingers continuously and lightly against something hard） and other nervous habits．However，others had burned up only 100 calories．
  The researchers found that slim women fidget more than fat women，but there was no significant difference in men．Heavy people burn up more energy when they fidget than thin people do．
31．Which of the following can be used to explain the meaning of"fidgeting"？D
A．scratching and twitching

6．It is well known that the building development company Cityspace wants to knock down the existing seafront sports club in Layton and replace it with a leisure centre that will consist of a multiscreen cinema，restaurants and an entertainment centre．But a local action group has promised to fight the?30million redevelopment of the sports club，which has provided family facilities for over 25years．

7．In American schools there is something called Homecoming Day．Many high schools and colleges with a football team have a homecoming game．This can be the most important event of the year，except for graduation．Students plan it for many weeks in advance．
Several days before Homecoming，students begin to decorate（裝飾） the school．There are signs to wish luck to the team and many other signs to welcome back the graduates from other years．Many people still come to Homecoming twenty or thirty years after they graduate．
The members of school clubs sell delicious foods and fruits，such as apples and sandwiches．Some clubs even help to welcome visitors．
During the day people like to look for teachers that they remember from long ago．Often they see old friends and they talk together about those happy years in school．
Everyone soon comes to watch the football game．When the game is half over，the band（樂隊(duì)）comes onto the field and plays school songs．Another important moment is when the Homecoming Queen appears．All the students vote（投票）a most popular student Homecoming Queen or King．It is a great honor to be chosen as the Homecoming Queen or King．
Homecoming is a happy day，but it is not perfect unless the football wins the game．Even if the team loses，the students still enjoy Homecoming．Some stay at the school to dance，and others go to a party．For everyone it is a day to remember for a long，long time．
