10.Could you identify a maple tree,recognize different insects,or correctly distinguish a tortoise from a soft-shell turtle (鳖)?If the answer is yes,then it's likely that you're old enough to have had a childhood where screens and electronic toys weren't the main free-time activities.If the answer is no,then maybe you're young enough to count among a generation now supposed to be suffering from nature-deficit disorder (大自然缺失症).
Relating to contemporary children and young people,nature-deficit disorder refers to the increasing tendency to spend very little time outdoors in the open countryside.This suggests that today's kids have little access to nature in the way that their parents did,instead spending most of their spare time inside.21st century kids are more likely to watch TV or play on computers.Even if they do participate in a physical activity,it's very likely to be some kind of organized sport under the watchful eye of adults,rather than wandering through the countryside unsupervised.
Though this might just appear to be a general observation on the way technology has changed childhood,nature-deficit disorder goes beyond a simple lack of exposure to the countryside.This is more like an illness,with symptoms which might include sadness,boredom and loneliness.
The expression"nature-deficit disorder"was coined in 2005 by American author Richard Louv.The term comes from his bestselling book on the same topic entitled Last Child in the Woods-saving Our Children from Nature-Deficit Disorder,which inspired a movement that campaigned to reconnect young people with the natural environment,as exposure to nature is a key factor in healthy child development.
As well as electronic entertainment,causes of nature-deficit disorder include parental fears about traffic and strangers,health and safety rules,and laws against catching wild animals and collecting wild flowers.
66.The author asks some questions at the beginning of the text in order toA.
    A.introduce the topic of the text
    B.judge if you are old enough
    C.examine your natural knowledge
    D.examine if you're suffering from some illness

    A.Watching TV and playing on computers.
    B.Wandering through the countryside and distinguishing animals.
    C.Participating in physical activities and having organized sport.
    D.Catching wild animals and collecting wild flowers.
68.Which of the following is NOT a cause of nature-deficit disorder?D
    A.Electronic entertainment.      B.Parental fears about traffic and strangers.
    C.Health and safety rules.       D.Laws against playing in nature.
69.What does the underlined word"uns'upervised"most probably mean?C
    A.Without being rewarded.             B.Without being hurt.
    C.Without being watched.              D.Without being disturbed.

5.Security Services advise that there have been robberies reported in the East Oxford area,carried out by a group and involving threats of and showing of a knife.The victims have all been young males of student age and appearance who have been walking alone between 7 pm and the early hours of the morning.Some of the victims have been followed from the O2 and the Regal Hotel.
The Crime Prevention Advisor offers the following advice:
●If possible walk home in a group,not on your own.If someone tries to take something from you by force,it may be best to give it to them,this way it will avoid you getting injured.
●If someone tries to follow you,make for a public place,such as a shop or a restaurant or walk towards other people.Make lots of noise and use your personal alarm to shock the person and use this opportunity to make your escape.If you need to use your mobile phone on route go into a shop or stand with your back to a shop window and constantly survey the area around you.Keep the conversation short and to the point and try not to be too obvious doing it.
●Walk with confidence and look as though you're on a mission.Keep your head up and while you should look ahead to avoid unnecessary conflicts,such as a group of young men a-head of you,you should also be aware of everything around you.Whenever possible use well lit and busy streets and definitely avoid alleyways,wasteland and other quiet short cuts.
If you have any information relating to these crimes,please call Crime Stoppers on 0800 555 111 or call Thames Valley Police on 101 for non-emergency reporting.

15.Alaskan black bears 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."

68.We know from the text thatA.
A.during winter Alaskan black bears sleep for more than half a year
B.researchers have examined hibernation in humans
C.experts have got no results from their research
D.Craig Heller is a leader from the Institute of Arctic Biology
69.The best topic of the text should beD.
A.The Latest Research Results
B.New Methods of Putting Humans into Hibernation
C.Alaskan Black Bears Hibernate
D.Astronauts Could Hibernate Like Bears
70.According to the text,we can infer thatC.
A.many studies have examined hibernation in mice and bears as well
B.humans'body temperatures vary between 30℃and 36℃while they sleep
C.research into hibernation in animals may help deadly patients stay longer
D.scientists have already take advantage of the different levels of hibernation in space missions.
19.The common cold is the world's most widespread illness,which is plagues(疫病) that flesh receives.
The most widespread fallacy(谬误) of all is that colds caused by cold.They are not.They are caused by viruses passing on from person to person.You catch a cold by coming into contact,directly or indirectly,with someone who already has one.If cold causes colds,it would be reasonable to expect the Eskimos(爱斯基摩人) to suffer from them forever.But they do not.And in isolated arctic regions explorers have reported being free from colds until coming into contact again with infected people from the outside world by way of packages and mail dropped from airplanes.
During the First World War soldiers who spent long periods in the trenches(战壕),cold and wet,showed no increased tendency to catch colds.
In the Second World War prisoners at the notorious Auschwitz concentration camp(集中营),naked and starving,were astonished to find that they seldom had colds.At the Common Cold Research Unit in England,volunteers took part in Experiments in which they gave themselves to the discomforts of being cold and wet for long stretches of time.After taking hot baths,they put on bathing suits,allowed themselves to be with cold water,and then stood about dripping wet in drafty room.Some wore wet socks all day while others exercised in the rain until close to exhaustion.Not one of the volunteers came down with a cold unless a cold virus was actually dropped in his nose.
If,then,cold and wet have nothing to do with catching colds,why are they more frequent in the winter?Despite the most pains-taking research,no one has yet found the answer.One explanation offered by scientists is that people tend to stay together indoors more in cold weather than at other times,and this makes it easier for cold viruses to be passed on.
No one has yet found a cure for the cold.There are drugs and pain suppressors(止痛片) such as aspirin,but all they do is relieve the symptoms(症状).
