19．Katharine Meyer Graham was once described （48）as"the most powerful woman in America．"She was not （49）an elected representative or a government official．She owned and published The Washington Post newspaper．Under her leadership，50．it became one of the most important newspapers in the country．To our surprise，she had no training in business（51）or experience in operating a large company．She had no idea about （52）how to operate a newspaper at first，（53）but she never lost her confidence．Finally，she was managed to be one of the greatest women（54）that/who was capable of leading the business of newspaper publishing．
Katharine Graham died of head injuries．At her funeral，friends of her said she would be remembered as a woman who had an important influence（55）on events in the United States and the world．
20．In 1751，Swedish botanist Carolus Linnaeus came up with the novel idea of using flowers as clocks．Morning glories open their trumpet-like petals（花瓣）around 10a．m．，water lilies at 11and so on through evening primroses and moonflowers．A full layout of these blossoms，planted in a circle，could indicate the time．It was an unusual notion．But some 250years later，scientists are seriously interested in the timekeeping mechanisms of nature．"They're so ubiquitous； they're almost a signature of life，"says molecular neuroscientist Russell Foster of Imperil College，London．
From cockroaches to humans，Foster explores these internal clocks in a fascinating new book，Rhythm of Life，co-authored with British science writer Leon Kreitzman．The author shows how the daily patterns known as circadian rhythms influence far more than our sleep．Heart attacks are more common in the morning．Women tend to go to labor（分娩前阵痛）in the evening．Severe asthma（哮喘）occur at night．Although we may jet across time zones，circadian rhythms rule．The book traces the century-long quest to uncover their mechanisms，with some starting outcomes-including the recent discovery that certain genes switch on and off in 24hour cycles．Even our responses to medicines may depend on when we take them．
Nature has devised internal clocks for a simple reason：they aid survival．"The early bird really does get the work，"-thanks to a silent wake-up call before dawn．A mimosa plant spreads its fernlike leaves during the day to create the maximum surface area for photosynthesis，and then folds them up at night to reduce water-vapor loss．It's not a mere response to light．"They do this even when kept in the dark，"says biologist Eugene Maurakis of the Science Museum of Virginia．
In humans，the master clock is a tiny clump of cells in the brain called the suprachiasmatic nuclei．The clock is reset daily by signals from a novel type of photoreceptor in the eye that Foster discovered．"The blind rely on it，too，provided their eyes haven't been removed，"he says．The result is an orchestrated series of biological events that unfolds in sequence．In the hours before breakfast，the body releases digestive enzymes（酶）gradually to be ready for the first meal．Temperature and blood pressure rise in preparation for the day's demands．This helps explain the morning increase in the heart attacks．Cells reproduce at set times．Hormones rise and fall-many of them according to a predetermined schedule．
The implications for medicine are profound．By timing treatments to complement daily changes in biochemistry，the author argues，we can boost efficacy and reduce side effects．In one seminal trial，medical oncologist William Hrushesky of the Dorn V．A．Medical Center in Columbia，S．C．，found that by simply reversing the times when he administered two chemotherapeutic drugs，he could extend survival in women with advanced ovarian cancer from 11percent at five years to 44．According to Chronobiology International，more than a dozen  ailments can currently benefit from carefully timed treatments．In one recent study，he notes something as simple as low-dose aspirin at bedtime reduced the rate of preterm deliver in pregnant women at risk for hypertension（高血压、过度紧张）from 14percent to zero．Aspirin in the morning had little effect．Surprised？No to Foster and Kreitzman．As they show，timing is everything．
39．According to the book Rhythms of Life，which of the following is TRUE？B
A．Severe asthma is not common at night．
B．Circadian rhythms influence us in various aspects．
C．It's written by Russell Foster，a famous molecular neuroscientist．
D．Medicines always function well provided that they have little side effects．
40．From the passage，we know that the mimosa plantC．
A．unfolds its leaves to avoid light．
B．folds leaves to take in water at night．
C．devises internal clocks in order to survive．
D．stops using internal clocks when placed in the dark．

14．Glenn was born on July 18，1921，in Cambridge and grew up in nearby New Concord，Ohio．He started his flying career as a fighter pilot（飞行员）．Later，Glenn took a dangerous job as a test pilot，flying new planes to see if they were safe．
In the late 1950s，a"space race"began between the U．S．and the Soviet Union．Both countries wanted to be the first to send a human into space，including to the moon．In 1961，a Russian astronaut，Yuri Gagarin，orbited Earth．But the space race was not over yet．Glenn's chance to go into space came on February 20，1962．By that time，another American，Alan B．Shepard，had flown in space，but he had not orbited Earth．Glenn's flight was aired live on television and radio．Americans everywhere stopped to watch．
Glenn's Friendship 7capsule circled the planet three times．A faulty equipment led Glenn to believe the capsule might burn up on its return to Earth，but in the end it splashed down safely in the Atlantic Ocean．He became the first American to orbit Earth in a spaceship．
In 1984，Glenn ran for president，but he did not get enough support and dropped out of the race．Glenn returned to space on October 29，1998，when he was 77．He spent nine days on the space shuttle Discovery．Glenn went so that scientists could the effects of space travel on older people．He holds the record for being the oldest person in space．Glenn died Thursday，Dec，8，2016，at the age of 95．
Glenn refused to see himself as a hero．He preferred to focus on his work，saying．"If there is one thing I've learned in my years on this planet，it's that the happiest people I've known are those who devoted themselves to something bigger and more meaningful than merely their own self-interest．"

1．For a 400-year-old art form，opera（歌剧） had a bad fame：overweight actresses singing the words which were hard to understand in one of those romance languages you were supposed to learn in high school．And with tickets costing as much as $145 a performance，opera-goers（常去看京剧的人） also had a certain appearance in people's mind：rich，well-dressed and old．
But now opera companies around the country are loosening their ties and kicking off their shoes in an attempt （尝试）to keep opera alive and take it to a younger and not so wealthy audience．
Opera producers have found that to attract this crowd，they need to make the opera closer to common people．Because young people don't or won't come to the opera，companies are bringing the opera to them，giving performances in such unusual places as parks，libraries and public schools．
The Houston Grand Opera's choice is the public library，where it performs"mobile operas"，shortened versions（简装剧本） of child-friendly opera．This summer's production is Hansel &Gretel．By performing smaller versions of large productions，producers are able to make people interested while keeping costs at a reasonable level．The San Francisco Opera，which will be celebrating its 75th anniversary（周年） this year，is staging Cinderella free of charge，keeping costs down by employing students from its Young Artists'Training Program．

24．Which is the main idea of this passage？B
A．Opera is famous for its long history．
B．Opera companies are trying to keep opera alive
C．Opera is only performed for rich people．
D．Young people are not interested in opera．
25．Opera companies prefer to perform short versions becauseA．
A．they can make more people come to opera
B．short versions are easy to perform
C．it is hard to find long versions
D．they can be performed in public libraries
26．The San Francisco Opera employs students in order toD．
A．celebrate its 75th anniversary
B．make Cinderella popular
C．attract young people
D．reduce the cost
27．From the passage we can infer thatA．
A．operas are not so popular an art form today
B．he tickets for operas are very expensive
C．operas are performed in a difficult language
D．students enjoy performing operas very much．
