1、Human Heart Can Make New CellsSolving a longstanding (为时甚久的) mystery, scientists have found that the human heart continues to generate new cardiac(心脏的 ) cells throughout the life span, although the rate of new cell production slows with age.The finding, published in the April 3 issue of Science, could open a new path fｏｒthe treatment of heart diseases such as heart failure ａｎｄ　heart attack, experts say."We find that the beating cells in the heart, cardiomyocytes (心肌细胞), are renewed," said lead researcher Dr. Jonas Frisen, a professｏｒof stem cell research at the Karolinska Institute in Stockholm, Sweden. "It has previously not been known whether we were limited to the cardiomyocytes we are born with ｏｒif they could be renewed," he said.The process of renewing these cells changes over time, Frisen added. In a 20 - year - old, about I percent of cardiomyocytes are exchanged each year, but the turnover (更替) rate decreases with age to only 0.45 percent by age 75."If we can understａｎｄ　how the generation of new cardiomyocytes is regulated, it may be potentially possible to develop pharmaceuticals (药物) that promote this process to stimulate regeneration after, fｏｒexample, a heart attack," Frisen said.That could lead to treatment that helps restore damaged hearts."A lot of people suffer from chronic heart failure," noted co - authｏｒDr. Ratan Bhardwaj, also from the Karolinska Institute. "Chronic heart failure arises from heart cells dying," he said.With this finding, scientists are "opening the doｏｒto potential therapies (疗法) to having ourselves heal ourselves." Bhardwaj said. "Maybe one could devise a pharmaceutical agent that would make heart cells make new ａｎｄ　more cells to overcome the problem they are facing. "But barriers remain. According to Bhardwaj, scientists do not yet know how to increase heart cell production to a rate that would replace cells faster than they are dying off, especially in older patients with heart failure. In addition, the number of new cells the heart produces was estimated using healthy hearts-whether the rate of cell turnover in diseased hearts is the same remains unknown.It is not known yet if the rate of cell turnover in diseased hearts ______.【单选题】

A.is high enough to replace cells faster than they\'re dying off

B.is of any use to researchers

C.is the same as that in healthy hearts

D.changes over time

正确答案:C

答案解析:本题难度不大，答案依据比较明显。带着题干信息词回文章定位，答案依据是文章最后一段最后一句，谈到心脏新细胞的制造数量是按照健康心脏来计算的，但是患病心脏的细胞更新率是否一样还是未知，回来看选项，C项和原文句意相符，是答案。

2、Surprised by a MiracleI had been working in the trauma unit at a local hospital fｏｒabout a year. You get used to families thinking that a "coma" patient is moving their hａｎｄ　ｏｒdoing something that they were asked to do. "Following commands" is what we call it. Often it\'s "wishful thinking" on the Families\' part. Nurses can easily become callous to it.On this particular night during visiting hours, my patient\'s wife came in. I had taken care of him fｏｒseveral nights. I was very familiar with his care ａｎｄ　what he was able to do. Actually, he didn\'t do anything. He barely moved at all, even when something would obviously hurt him, such as suctioning.His wife was very short, about 5 feet tall. She had to stａｎｄ　on a stool to lean over him, so that she could see his face ａｎｄ　talk to him. She climbed up on the stool. I spoke to her fｏｒa few minutes, ａｎｄ　then stepped out to tend to my other patient. A few minutes later, she came running out of the room. In an excited voice, she said, "Donna, he\'s moving his hand!"I immediately thought that it was probably her imagination, ａｎｄ　that he had not actually done it on purpose. He had been there about a month at the time ａｎｄ　had never made any movements on purpose. I asked her what had happened ａｎｄ　she said, "I asked him to squeeze my hａｎｄ　ａｎｄ　he did!"This led me to another train of questioning. "But, did he let go when you asked him to?" She said yes, that he had done exactly what she asked.I went into the room with her, not really believing that I would see anything different than I had always seen. But I decided that it would be better to pacify her than to make her think I didn\'t believe her ｏｒthat she was somehow mistaken.She asked him to squeeze her hand, which he did. I said, "Well, ask him to let go. " He continued to squeeze fｏｒa moment, so that when he finally did let go, I really still didn\'t believe that he had done it on purpose. So, I said, "Ask him to hold up one finger. " He did as asked.Well, hmm, this was starting to get my attention. I looked at him, his face still somewhat swollen ａｎｄ　his eyes still closed. "Stick out your tongue!" I said. He did it. I almost fell on the floor. It was the first time I had ever seen anyone "wake up. "The first paragraph indicates that more often than not a coma patient ____.【单选题】

A.is found to be following commands

B.is thought to be following commands

C.is used to following commands

D.is callous to nurses\' commands

正确答案:B

答案解析:从短文的第一段可以得知，昏迷病人的家属时常以为病人能动了，但大多数情况下，这只是他们的愿望思维，病人并没有真正有意识地在动。

3、A Tale of Scottish Rural LifeLewis Grassic Gibbon\'s SunｓｅｔSong (1932) was voted "the best Scottish novel of all time" by Scottish\'s reading public in 2005. Once considered shocking fｏｒits frank description of aspects of the lives of Scotland\'s poｏｒrural farmers, it has been adapted fｏｒstage, film, TV ａｎｄ　radio in recent decades.The novel is ｓｅｔon the fictional estate of Kinraddie, in the farming country of the Scottish northwest in the years up to ａｎｄ　beyond World War I. At its heart is the story of Chris, who is both part of the community ａｎｄ　a little outside it.Grassic Gibbon gives us the most detailed ａｎｄ　intimate account of the life of his heroine. We watch her grow through a childhood dominated by her cruel but hard-working father; experience tragedy (her mother\'s suicide ａｎｄ　murder of her twin children); ａｎｄ　learn about her feelings as she grows into woman. We see her marry, lose her husband, then marry again. Chris has seemed so convincing a figure to some female readers that they cannot believe that she is the creation of a man.But it would be misleading to suggest that this book is just about Chris. It is truly a novel of a place ａｎｄ　its people. Its opening section tells of Kinraddie\'s long history, in a language that imitates the place\'s changing patterns of speech ａｎｄ　writing.The story itself is amazingly full of characters ａｎｄ　incidents. It is told from Chris\' point of view but also from that of the gossiping community, a community where everybody knows everybody else\'s business ａｎｄ　nothing is ever forgotten.SunｓｅｔSong has a social theme too. It is concerned with what Grassic Gibbon perceives as the destruction of traditional Scottish rural life first by modernization ａｎｄ　then by World War I. Gibbon tried hard to show how certain characters resist the war. Despite this, the war takes the young men away, a number of them to their deaths. In particular, it takes away Chris\' husband, Ewan Tavendale. The war finally kills Ewan, but not in the way his widow is told In fact, the Germans aren\'t responsible fｏｒhis death, but his own side. He is shot because he is said to have run away from a battle.If the novel is about the end of one way of life it also looks ahead, it is a "SunｓｅｔSong" but is concerned too with the new Kinraddie, indeed of the new European world Grassic Gibbon went on to publish two other novels about the place that continue its story.Which statement is NOT true of Chris?【单选题】

A.She is the heroine of SunｓｅｔSong.

B.She had a miserable childhood.

C.She is the creation of a man.

D.She married only once.

正确答案:D

答案解析:A:她是《日落歌》中的女主人公；B：她的童年很苦；C：她由一个男人创作出来的；D:她只结过一次婚。D不对。第三段有这么一句话：We see her marry，lose her husband， then marry again. 我们看见她结婚，失去丈夫，后来又结婚。

5、The Only Way Is Up Think of a modem city ａｎｄ　the first image that come to mind is the skyline. It is full of great buildings, pointing like fingers to heaven. It is true that some cities don\'t permit buildings to go above a certain height. But these are cities concerned with the past. The first thing any city does when it wants to tell the world that it has arrived is to build skyscrapers. When people gather together in cities, they create a demａｎｄ　fｏｒlａｎｄ　since cities are places where money is made, that demａｎｄ　can be met. ａｎｄ　the best way to make money out of city lａｎｄ　is to put as many people as possible in a space that covers the smallest amount of ground that means building upwards. The technology existed to do this as early as the 19th century. But the height of buildings was limited by one important factor. They had to be small enough fｏｒpeople on the top floors to climb stairs. People could not be expected to climb a mountain at the end of their journey to work, ｏｒhome. Elisha Otis, a US inventor, was the man who brought us the lift ｏｒelevator, as he preferred to call it. However, most of the technology is very old lifts work using the same pulley system the Egyptians used to create the Pyramids. What Otis did was attach the system to a steam engine ａｎｄ　develop the elevatｏｒbrake, which stops the lift falling if the cords that hold it up are broken. It was this that did the most to gain public confidence in the new invention. In fact, he spent a number of years exhibiting lifts at fairgrounds, giving people the chance to try them out before selling the idea to architects ａｎｄ　builders. A lift would not be a very good theme park attraction now. Going in a lift is such an everyday thing that it would just be boring. Yet psychologists ａｎｄ　others who study human behaviｏｒfind lifts fascinating. The reason is simple. Scientists have always studied animals in zoos. The nearest they can get to that with humans is in observing them in lifts. "It breaks all the usual conventions about the bubble of personal space we carry around with us ａｎｄ　you just can\'t choose to move away," says workplace psychologist, Gary Fitzgibbon. Being trapped in this setting can create different types of tensions, he says. Some people are scared of them. Others use them as an opportunity to get close to the boss. Some stａｎｄ　close to the door. Others hide in the comers. Most people try ａｎｄ　shrink into the background but some behave in a way that makes others notice them. There are a few people who just stａｎｄ　in a comer taking notes. Don\'t worry about them. They are probably from a university.When Otis came up with the idea of a lift,____.【单选题】

A.he sold it to the architects ａｎｄ　builders immediately

B.the Egyptians used it to build the Pyramids

C.it was accepted favorably by the public

D.most people had doubt about its safety

正确答案:D

答案解析:答案在第四段。Otis发明的刹车使人们对这个新玩意儿增加了信心，他在游乐场里让大家试乘了几年才把这个想法出售给建筑师和营造商。
