11.What is the single largest cause of sick leave in the UK?The answer is not the common cold or flu,but back pain.Back pain affects one in three British adults,cost the country over£5 billion every year and is obviously difficult to treat.
But now Britain's National Health Service (NHS) will be offering a new solution:acupuncture (針灸法).
The ancient Chinese needle therapy has been around in the UK for many years,but for the first time it has been officially supported by the NHS'advisory body,the National Institute for Clinic Excellence (NICE).
Traditionally,doctors in the UK have advised back pain sufferers to stay active,do stretching exercises and take painkillers when necessary.In more serious cases some people are given X-rays treatment or injections with therapeutic substances.
NICE,however,says there is evidence that acupuncture may be more effective than expensive X-rays or injections,to patients who have been suffering for over six weeks should be given acupuncture treatments.
As an alternative to acupuncture,patients will be able to choose either a course of spinal manipulation (脊柱推拿) or a series of special sessions.
In the UK,acupuncture is classified as a complementary (輔助的) therapy,which is the term given to a medical procedure which hasn't been subjected to the strict trials by which scientists prove some treatment work.
While many experts have welcomed the move to make acupuncture available on the NHS,some are still skeptical about its effectiveness.
Research from the US earlier this month found that simulated acupuncture using toothpicks which do not pierce the skin could be as good as using real needles.
So while some are yet to be convinced,back pain sufferers will be hoping that acupuncture helps them feel healthy and mobile again.Employers,on the other hand,will be hoping it gets them back to work.
64.What can be the best title for the passage?A
A.Acupuncture m the UK
B.The largest cause of sick leave.
C.The ancient Chinese medicine
D.Different ways to treat back pain.
65.According to NICE,which of the following ways is more effective to treat back pain?B
A.To take painkillers

A.Doctors can use needles or toothpicks to perform acupuncture.
B.Patients taking acupuncture have to take a course of spinal manipulation.
C.Patients suffering back pain for a long time are more advised to use acupuncture.
D.Acupuncture costs less money and has lower effects than X-rays or injections
67.Why is acupuncture classified as a complementary therapy in the UK?D
A.It is not strict in the treatment
B.Some British don't have trust in it
C.The main British treatment is very effective
D.Its medical procedure hasn't been strictly tested scientifically.

2.An Australian man who has been donating his extremely rare kind of blood for 56years has saved the lives of more than two million babies.
James Harrison has an antibody in his plasma that stops babies dying from Rhesus disease,a form of severe anaemia.He has enabled countless mothers to give birth to healthy babies,including his own daughter,Tracey,who had a healthy son thanks to her father's blood.
Mr.Harrison has been giving blood every few weeks since he was 18years old and has now racked up a total of 984donations.When he started donating,his blood was deemed so special that his life was insured for one million Australian dollars.
He was also nicknamed the"man with the golden arm"or the"man in  two million".He said:"I've never thought about stopping.Never."He made a pledge to be a donor aged 14after undergoing major chest surgery in which he needed 13litres of blood."I was in hospital for three months,"he said."The blood I received saved my life so I made a pledge to give blood when I was 18."
Just after he started donating he was found to have the rare and life-saving antibody in his blood.At the time,thousands of babies in Australia were dying each year of Rhesus disease.Other newborns suffered permanent brain damage because of the condition.The disease creates an incompatibility between the mother's blood and her unborn baby's blood.It stems from one having Rh-positive blood and the other Rh-negative.
His blood has since led to the development of a vaccine called Anti-D.After his blood type was discovered,Mr.Harrison volunteered to undergo a series of tests to help develop the Anti-D vaccine."They insured me for a million dollars so I knew my wife Barbara would be taken care of,"he said."I wasn't scared.I was glad to help.I had to sign every form going and basically sign my life away."
Mr.Harrison is Rh-negative and was given injections of Rh-positive blood.It was found his plasma could treat the condition and since then it has been given to hundreds of thousands of women.It has also been given to babies after they are born to stop them developing the disease.
It is estimated he has helped save 2.2million babies so far.Mr.Harrison is still donating every few weeks now.

A.his daughter asked him to help her son
B.he has a golden arm worth a million dollars
C.a(chǎn) vaccine called Anti-D is to be developed
D.someone else's blood saved his life
48.The sentence"The disease creates an incompatibility between the mother's blood and her unborn baby's blood"(underlined in Paragraph 5)suggests thatB.

19.Are you working on your typing skills to make you become a more efficient worker?That may be all for nothing as Intel believes that we will be able to manage our computers with our brains by 2020.
Intel and its research partners are studying how the brain acts when it thinks.For example,scientists have found that people's brains react in a similar way when they are asked to think of a bear.Through some equipment that can also find this sort of brain activity,Intel thinks that it will be able to read and translate this into an input system tanks to an implantable chip in the brain.
"We are trying to prove you can do interesting things with brain waves."Intel research scientist Dean Pomerleau told Computerworld."Eventually people may be willing to be more devoted to brain implants."Even if thinking about a bear isn't enough to show that you want to copy something,Intel still thinks that there is a future in suing your brain instead of the keyboard."If we can get to the point where we can find specific words,you could mentally type,"he added."You could compose characters or words by thinking about letters flashing on the screen."
While this may all sound impractical or even inconvenient for present time,Intel thinks that it's possible.
"I think human beings are very adaptive,"said Andrew Chien,vice president of research and director of future technologies research at the Intel Labs."If you had told people 20years ago that they would be carrying computers all the time,they would have said,‘I don't want that.'Now you can't get them to stop.There are a lot of things that have to be done first but I think implanting chips into human brains is possible."
Make good use of your mouse and keyboard set-up before they're old-fashioned.

64.What can be known about Intel from the passage?D
A.it is researching how our brains manage our computers.
B.it is working on how to improve people's typing skills.
C.It is finding how the brain reacts when it thinks of a bear.
D.It is studying the relation between what the brain thinks and how it acts.
65.From what Dean Pomerleau said,we can learn thatC.
A.brain implants are not accepted now
B.people have no interest in the research
C.mentally typing will probably be a real fact
D.new things need a long time to be accepted
66.What Andrew Chien said can prove thatD.
A.everything is possible in the world
B.man has great power to face difficulties
C.society is changing from time to time
D.man is very good at accepting new things
67.What does the last paragraph implay?B
A.Everything should be used to the full.
B.Mouses and keyboards won't exist in the future.
C.Our brains can take the place of computers.
D.Some new kinds of mouse and keyboard will appear.

6.Rising levels of carbon dioxide in the atmosphere are a major cause of climate change,and now a new study has confirmed that atmospheric CO2 is also affecting the ocean chemistry and potentially harming sea life.
Montana State University scientist Robert Dore has been researching the water in the Pacific Ocean for almost two decades.
"We've been going to the same spot in the Pacific Ocean,and we try and characterize long-term change in the open ocean environment.And one of the key things that we measure is CO2 levels.And we've been able to record this increasing quantity of atmospheric CO2 into the ocean."
Scientists expected that as atmospheric CO2 increased,more and more of the carbon dioxide would be absorbed into the ocean,affecting the chemical balance of the sea water,with a potentially harmful impact on shellfish and coral in particular.
"As carbon dioxide dissolves in the water,or seawater in this case,it forms a weak acid(酸),carbonic acid,"Dore explains."And therefore,as the concentration of CO2 in the atmosphere goes up and that exchanges with the surface seawater,it drives the pH down,and makes it more acidic."
The seawater Dore and his colleagues have analyzed confirms what the theory predicts.
The effect was particular striking at about 250meters down,and again at 500meters.Dore and his colleagues came up with two possible explanations.It could be that surface water picked up CO2and then moved to those depths.Or there could be a biological explanation.
"It's important to realize that the oceans are really becoming acidic.And it can have negative impacts on a whole variety of sea life from fish to coral.It's potentially catastrophic."

72.What can be the best title of the passage?A
A.Sea Life Facing Danger         B.Climate Change Affecting Seawater
C.Oceans Becoming More Acidic    D.Scientist Researching Seawater
73.Which of the following shows the process of the impact of atmospheric CO2 on sea life?B
a.Sea life is endangered.
b.CO2 goes into the surface water.
c.The ocean chemistry is affected.
d.CO2 decreases the PH and makes the seawater more acidic.
e.CO2 levels in the atmosphere go up.
A.a(chǎn)→b→c→d→e  B.e→b→c→d→a  C.a(chǎn)→e→c→d→b  D.e→d→c→b→a
74.Scientist Robert Dore came to the conclusion based onA.
A.his research and analysis
B.the expectation of other scientists
C.some former theory
D.a(chǎn) major cause of climate change
75.What does the passage want to tell us most?C
A.It takes time to make a scientific study.
B.Atmospheric CO2 is doing harm to sea life.
C.Measures should be taken to prevent the potential catastrophe.
D.Robert Dore is a committed and serious scientist.
