2．-My desk-mate has made ________ his goal to go to Sichuan University since he attended high school．
-No wonder he has been working so hard．（　　）
A．itB．himC．thatD．this

分析 -自进入高中以来，我的同桌已经把去四川大学当成了他自己的目标．
-难怪他一直都这么努力学习．

解答 答案：A
根据句意可知，主句中的宾语应是动词不定式短语"to go to Sichuan University"，故此处应使用it作形式宾语；故选B．

点评 本题考查了it作形式宾语的用法．做本题时，首先根据句意，判断出空缺处在句中所作的成分；其次应了解it作形式宾语或形式主语的用法，例如：it作形式宾语时，须具备两个条件：①真正的宾语是不定式、动名词或从句；②句中要有宾语补足语；例如：All these noises made it impossible for me to go on with the work．这些噪音使我无法继续工作；He found it useless（ no use） arguing with him．他发现和他辩论没有用；I took it for granted that they were not coming．我想他们准是不会来的了．

18．The world is not coming to an end on December 21，2012，the US space agency insisted Monday in a rare campaign to dispel widespread rumors fueled by the Internet and a new Hollywood movie．
The latest big screen offering from Sony Picture，2012，arrives in theaters on Friday，with a 200-million-dollar production about the end of the world supposedly based on myths （虚构的故事） backed by the Mayan calendar．It is claimed that the end of time will come as a Planet X-or Nibiru-heads toward or collides with the Earth．
Some websites accuse NASA of hiding the truth on the planet's existence，but the US space agency denounced such stories as an"Internet hoax（恶作剧）"．"There is no factual basis for these claims，"NASA said in a question and answer posting on its website．"If such a collision were real，astronomers would have been tracking it for at least the past decade，and it would be visible by now to the naked eye．Obviously，it does not exist．Credible scientists worldwide know of no threat associated with 2012，"it insisted．"After all，our planet has been getting along just well for more than four billion years，"added NASA．
There is another planet，Eris，floating in space．But the small planet similar to Pluto will remain safely fixed in the outer solar system and it can come no closer than four billion miles to the Earth，according to NASA．
Initial theories set the disaster for May 2003，but when nothing happened the date was moved forward to the winter in 2012 to coincide with the end of a cycle of the ancient Mayan calendar．
NASA insisted the Mayan calendar in fact does not end on December 21，2012，as another period begins immediately afterward．
And even if the planets were to line up as some have forecast，the effect on our planet would be"negligible"，NASA said．
"And while comets and asteroids （小行星） have always hit the Earth，big hits are very rare，"NASA noted．The last major impact was believed to be 65 million years ago，resulting in the end of dinosaurs．
"We have already determined that there are no threatening asteroids as large as the one that killed the dinosaurs，"the space agency said．

15．Dieting is often doomed to failure．The problem is，we don't follow the rules we learn．No carbs after 6pm？No problem-until we're out for dinner，on our second glass of wine and reaching for the bread basket．Everyone has a flash point that makes it hard to say no，but ultimately，resisting temptation is the key to successful weight loss．
Now research from leading psychologists has identified the parts of the brain involved in resisting temptation，and how we can use them to stop reaching for chocolate cake．Leading the charge is Professor Walter Mischel，the psychologist who developed the ‘marshmallow test'，which demonstrated that if children were able to delay gratification（满足感），they would be more successful in later life．Mischel's research has shown that to resist temptation，we have to shift activity away from the‘hot'parts of our brain to the‘cool'parts．The mind brain has two systems：one is cool，slow and deliberate，and allows for self-control，goal-setting and willpower-the‘no'system，if you like．The other is hot，emotional and instinctual，and present from birth-the‘go'system．
So when you see a chocolate cake，the‘hot'part of your brain reacts to thoughts of the delicious taste，and the sugar rush that you have learnt a slice will give you．Instead of giving in，what you need to do is to activate the‘cool'part of your brain by thinking about your goals and practicing far-sightedness．Imagine the sense of satisfaction you'd get，from fitting into your favorite dress in a couple of weeks'time，say，or from losing your unsightly tummy bulge before you go sunbathing this summer．It's a simple strategy，but experiments have shown it is highly effective．
Perception is also important．Feasting your eyes on desirable food activates the hot system in the brain，which explains what we know instinctively：putting biscuits out of sight in a cupboard will mean you eat fewer of them．"The problem with diets is they are also full of pictures of delicious diet food； and all of this is just activating the hot system，"Mischel says．
Stress is another key issue．It has been shown to switch on the hot part of the brain and cause us to overeat．The first thing to do is to be aware of how stress changes your behavior．Then develop an action plan to deal with it．This might involve taking healthy snacks to work or finding ways to cope better with your time and emotions．
Brain scans have also shown that memory plays a significant role in overeating．If you habitually eat chocolate，for instance，then every time you see it，you remember the high．So the research is clear：if you want to be slim，fit and healthy，it's time to take control of your mind．

2．A new study has discovered that meditation（冥想）and oxygen sport together reduce  depression（抑郁）．The Rutgers University study found that this mind and body combination done twice a week for only two months，reduced the symptoms for a group of students by 40percent
"We are excited by the findings Because we saw such a meaningful improvement in both clinically depressed and non-depressed students，"said lead author Dr．Brandon Alderman．"It is the first time that both of these two behavioral ways have been looked at together for dealing with depression．"
Researchers believe the two activities have an interactive effect in  combating depression．Alderman and Dr．Traeey Shors discovered that a combination of mental and physical training （MAP）enabled students with major depressive disorder not to let problems or negative thoughts defeat them．
Rutgers researchers say those who participated in the study began with 30minutes of focused attention meditation followed by 30minutes of oxygen sport．They were told that if their thoughts drifted to the past or the future they should refocus on their breathing，enabling those with depression to accept moment-to-moment changes in attention．
Shors，who studies the production of new brain cells in the hippocampus-part of the brain involved in memory and learning-says scientists have shown in animal mode1s that oxygen sport exercise keeps a large number of certain cells alive．
The idea for the human intervention（干预）came from her laboratory studies，studies，she says，the main goal of helping individuals acquire new skills so that they can learn to recover  from stressful life events．
By learning to focus their attention and exercise，people who are fighting depression can  acquire new learning skills that can help them process information and reduce the overwhelming recollection of memories from the past，Shors says．
"We know these treatments，can be practiced over a lifetime and that they will be effective in improving mental health．"said Alderman．"The good news is that this intervention can be practiced by anyone time any time and at no cost．"

32．What made the research so different？B
A．Adopting a way of meaningful talk．
B．Combining the two ways to treat depression．
C．Treating depression with special medicine．
D．Comparing the depressed with the non-depressed．
33．The underlined word"combating"in Paragraph 3can be replaced byA．
A．fighting         B．identifying    
C．distinguishing   D．examining
34．What did the participants do in the research？B
A．They did oxygen sport half an hour before thinking．
B．They through quietly and then took exercise．
C．They took exercise longer than they thought．
D．They took exercise while thinking quietly．
35．What is Shors'main purpose of her studies？C
A．To find our certain brain cells of humans．
B．To study the production of new brain cells．
A．To offer people a new methord to treat stress．
A．To decide the links between stress and exercise．
