9.Do you know anything about Alaskan black bears?They hibernate for up to seven months a year,during which time they do not eat or drink,before waking up in virtually the same physical state they fell asleep in.
Now experts hope to develop methods of putting humans into a similar state which could help astronauts survive long missions and lead to new ways of treating severely ill patients.
While many studies have examined hibernation in mice and hedgehogs,little research has been done into the same condition in larger mammals such as bears.
But new research conducted at the Institute of Arctic Biology at the University of Alaska monitored the animals'body temperature,heart rate and muscle movements while they slept.
The research results showed that during a five-month hibernation the bears'body temeratures varied between 30℃and 36℃in cycles that lasted between two and seven
days-a pattern that was previously unknown in hibernating animals.
The research project leader said,"If our research could help by showing how to reduce metabolic(新陈代谢的)rates and oxygen demands in human tissues,one could possibly save severely ill patients.We simply need to know how to turn things on and off to take advantage of the different levels of hibernation."
Craig Heller,of Stanford University,who contributed to the study,added:"There has always been a thought that,if there is ever long-distance space travel,it would be good to be able to put people into a state of lower metabolism or a state of hibernation.That's almost science fiction but you can see the logical basis."
33.We know from the text thatD.
A.Craig Heller is a leader from the Institute of Arctic Biology
B.researchers have examined hibernation in humans
C.experts have got no results from their research
D.during winter Alaskan black bears sleep for more than half a year
34.The best title of the text should beA.
A.Astronauts Could Hibernate Like Bears
B.New Methods of Putting Humans into Hibernation
C.Alaskan Black Bears Hibernate
D.The Latest Research Results
35.According to the text,we can infer thatB.
A.many studies have examined hibernation in mice and bears as well
B.research into hibernation in animals may help deadly patients stay longer
C.humans'body temperatures vary between 30℃and 36℃while they sleep
D.scientists have already take advantage of the different levels of hibernation in space missions.

分析 本文属于说明文阅读,作者通过这篇文章主要向我们描述了研究人员正在研究方法使人像动物一样冬眠,这可以挽救更多患者的生命,也可以帮助太空事业的发展.

解答 33.D.细节理解题.根据第一段They hibernate for up to seven months a year,during which time they do not eat or drink,before waking up in virtually the same physical state they fell asleep in可知阿拉斯加黑熊冬眠半年以上;故选D.
34.A.推理判断题.根据最后一段There has always been a thought that,if there is ever long-distance space travel,it would be good to be able to put people into a state of lower metabolism or a state of hibernation可知课文最好的标题应该是宇航员可以像熊一样冬眠;故选A.
35.B.细节理解题.根据倒数第二段If our research could help by showing how to reduce metabolic(新陈代谢的)rates and oxygen demands in human tissues,one could possibly save severely ill patients可知像动物一样冬眠可能会帮助重症患者活的更久;故选B.

点评 考察学生的细节理解和推理判断能力,做细节理解题时一定要找到文章中的原句,和题干进行比较,再做出正确的选择.在做推理判断题不要以个人的主观想象代替文章的事实,要根据文章事实进行合乎逻辑的推理判断.

20.What do the world's most successful people all have in common?
By examining the work habits of over 150 greatest writers and artists and scientists,the researchers including Standford Professor Jeffrey found that high achievers like Robert Moses turn out to be all alike:
Busy!Busy!
(36)DIn a study of general managers in industry,John Kotter reported that many of them worked 60 to 65 hours per week-which translates into at least six 10-hour days.The ability and willingness to work difficult and tiring hours has characterized many powerful figures.Energy and strength provide many advantages to those seeking to build power.
Just Say No!
The difference between successful people and very successful people is that very successful people say"no"to almost everything.And that's what gives them the time to accomplish so much.
(37)B And focus means saying"no"to a lot of distractions(分神).
Know What You Are!
Ignore your weakness and keep improving your strengths.Don't waste time exploring skill areas where you have little competence.Instead,focus on-and build on-your strengths.(38)F.
Create Good Luck!
Luck is not magical-there is a science to it.Richard Wiseman studied lucky people for his book Luck Factor,and broke down what they do right.(39)GBy being more outgoing,open to new ideas,following the feeling that something is true,being optimistic,lucky people create possibilities.
Does applying these principles to your life actually work?Wiseman created a"luck school"to test the ideas-and it was a success.In total,80 percent of people who attended Luck School said that their luck had increased.(40)C.

A.Spend enough time to improve your weakness.
B.Achievement requires focus.
C.On average,these people reported that their luck had increased by more than 40 percent.
D.They never stop working and they never lose a minute.
E.Busy people are more likely to be lucky.
F.This means knowing who you are,what you are and what you are good at.
G.Certain personality types are luckier because they behave in a way that offer the chance for good opportunities.
11.When something goes wrong,it can be very satisfying to say,"Well,it's so-and-so's fault."or"I know I'm late,but it's not my fault; the car broke down."It is probably not your fault,but once you form the habit of blaming somebody or something else for a bad situation,you are a loser.You have no power and could do nothing that helps change the situation.However,you can have great power over what happens to you if you stop focusing on whom to blame and start focusing on how to remedy the situation.This is the winner's key to success.
Winners are great at overcoming problems.For example,if you were late because your car broke down,maybe you need to have your car examined more regularly.Or,you might start to carry along with you the useful phone numbers,so you could call for help when in need.For another example,if your colleague (同事) causes you problems on the job for lack of responsibility or ability,find ways of dealing with his irresponsibility or inability rather than simply blame the person.Ask to work with a different person,or don't rely on this person.You should accept that the person is not reliable and find creative ways to work successfully regardless of how your colleague fails to do his job well.
This is what being a winner is all about-creatively using your skills and talents so that you are successful no matter what happens.Winners don't have fewer problems in their lives; they have just as many difficult situations to face as anybody else.They are just better at seeing those problems as challenges and opportunities to develop their own talents.So,stop focusing on"whose fault it is."Once you are confident about your power over bad situations,problems are just stepping stones for success.

A.find a better way to handle the problem
B.blame him for his lack of responsibility
C.tell him to find the cause of the problem
D.ask a more able colleague for help
