It is difficult for doctors to help a person with a damaged brain. Without enough blood, the brain lives for only three to five minutes. More often the doctors can' t fix the damage. Sometimes they are afraid to try something to help because it is dangerous to work on the brain. The doctors might make the person worse if he operates on the brain.

Dr. Robert White, a famous professor and doctor, thinks he knows a way to help. He thinks doctors should make the brain very cold. If it is very cold, the brain can live without blood for 30 minutes. This gives the doctor a longer time to do something for the brain.

Dr. White tried his idea on 13 monkeys. First he taught them to do different jobs, then he operated on them. He made the monkeys' blood go through a machine. The machine cooled the blood. Then the machine sent the blood back to the monkeys' brains. When the brain' s temperature was 10°C, Dr. White stopped the blood to the brain. After 30 minutes he turned the blood back on. He warmed the blood again. After their operations the monkeys were like they had been before. They were healthy and busy. Each one could still do the jobs the doctor had taught them.

1.The biggest difficulty in operating on the damaged brain is that _______.

A. the time is too short for doctors

B. the patients are often too nervous

C. the damage is extremely hard to fix

D. the blood-cooling machine might break down

2.The brain operation was made possible mainly by _______.

A. taking the blood out of the brain

B. trying the operation on monkeys first

C. lowering the brain' s temperature

D. having the blood go through a machine

3.What is the right order of the steps in the operation?

a. send the cooled blood back to the brain

b. stop the blood to the brain

c. have the blood cooled down

d. operate on the brain

A. a,b,c,d B. c,a,b,d

C. c, b, d, a D. b, c, d, a

4.With Dr. White's new idea, the operation on the damaged brain _______.

A. can last as long as 30 minutes

B. can keep the brain's blood warm

C. can keep the patient's brain healthy

D. can help monkeys do different jobs

 

1.A

2.C

3.B

4.A

【解析】

试题解析:病人大脑受损,医生常常束手无策,Dr. Robert White,通过科学研究表明通过降低大脑温度可以延长大脑存活时间,使得手术成为可能。

1.推理判断题。根据第一段“Without enough blood, the brain lives for only three to five minutes. More often the doctors can’t fix the damage.”可知大脑损伤手术的最大难度在于大脑缺血后生存的时间只有3~5分钟,没有足够手术时间。选A。

2.推理判断题。根据第二段“He thinks doctors should make the brain very cold. If it is very cold,the brain can live without blood for 30 minutes.”可以推断出通过降低大脑温度可以延长大脑存活时间,使得手术成为可能。选C。

3.排序题。根据最后一段Dr. White利用猴子做试验的顺序,应该是先把血液降温,然后把降温后的血液输入大脑,然后切断大脑血液做手术。B正确。

4.推理判断题。根据第二段“He thinks doctors should make the brain very cold. If it is very cold,the brain can live without blood for 30 minutes.”可以推断出大脑损伤手术时间可以延长到30分钟。选A。

When the seventeenth-century settlers brought the English language to America, they immediately and necessarily began to adapt (使适应) it to their new environment. These changes were clear early and criticized by some people on both sides of the Atlantic. However, after the Revolution, Americans began to be proud of their own form of English. Noah Webster was the major early supporter of American meanings and spellings over British ones and published the earliest American dictionary, An American Dictionary of the English Language. During the years since Webster, language differences have continued to develop, proving (证明) the truth of George Bernard Shaw’s often-repeated words that the two nations are divided by a common language.

Like the American language, the earliest American literature (文学) copied English models. However, after the Revolution and the War of 1812, writers began to create a clear American literature. However, in 1820, Sydney Smith asked the famous question “Who reads an American book?”

Answering to this and similar taunts (讽刺) with creative anger, American writers soon produced works that plenty of British people read. Works by Washing-ton Irving, Walt Whitman, and Mark Twain had been acclaimed greatly in Britain by the end of the nineteenth century.

Even as American writers got respect in Britain, British writers continued to have great influence in America. Charles Dickens went to America twice, in 1842 and 1867-68. Other major British writers who traveled and lived in the United States include D.H. Lawrence and Aldous Huxley. British best works continue to be widely read. The works of William Shakespeare and Jane Austen became popular films.

At the turn of the twenty-first century, many books and writers continue to cross the Atlantic in both directions — made possible by the proud heritage (继承) of the shared language.

1.The author of this passage seems to think ______.

A. British English is better than American English

B. American English is better than British English

C. the same language has divided the two nations

D. the same language has connected the two nations

2.From the question asked by Sydney Smith, we can infer ______.

A. the British had to translate American books into English ones

B. the British found American books difficult to understand

C. the British thought highly of books written by Americans

D. the British looked down upon American books at first

3.The underlined word “acclaimed” in Paragraph 3 probably means “______”.

A. sold B. discussed

C. welcomed D. refused
