1、Walking to Exercise the BrainDo you think sitting ａｎｄ　studying all the time will improve students grades? Think again. Getting some exercise may help, too.New research with older people suggests that taking regular walks helps them pay attention better than if they didn\'t exercise.Previous research had shown that mice learn, remember ａｎｄ　pay attention better after a few weeks of working out on a running wheel. Mice that exercise have greater blood flow to the brain than those who don\'t. Their brain cells also make more connections.Neuroscientists (神经科学家) from the University of Illinois at Urbana Champaign wanted to find out if the same thing is true fｏｒpeople. First, they measured the physical fitness of 41 adults, ages 58 to 77, after each person walked I mile. Then, participants looked at arrows on a computer screen ａｎｄ　had to use computer keys to show which way one particular arrow was pointing.Adults who were physically fit were faster at the arrow task, ａｎｄ　their answers were just as accurate as their less - fit peers, the researchers found. The fitter participants also had more blood flow to a part of their brain responsible fｏｒpaying attention ａｎｄ　making decisions.In a second study, 15 elderly people who completed a 6 - month aerobic - training (有氧运动) course were faster at attention tasks compared with 14 seniors who just did stretching ａｎｄ　toning (韵律操) exercises fｏｒthe same amount of time.So, even going fｏｒa walk every 2 ｏｒ3 days fｏｒjust 10 to 45 minutes can help. That should be good news fｏｒthe elderly.The effects of exercising on the brains of younger people haven\'t been studied yet. Still, it can\'t hurt to take occasional breaks ａｎｄ　go fｏｒa walk ｏｒrun around with friends. Whatever you do, though, don\'t try to read ａｎｄ　walk at the same time. You could end up hurting yourself!After taking exercise fｏｒa few weeks, the mice were found to have ______.【单选题】

A.higher blood pressure

B.faster heartbeat

C.more blood flow to the brain

D.better appearance

正确答案:C

答案解析:本题难度不大，找到答案依据不难。答案依据在文章第三段。带着题干信息词回到文章定位。第三段第二句谈到运动老鼠大脑中的血液流量大于不运动的，回来看选项，很明显，C是近义解释，是答案。

2、Medicine Award Kicks off Nobel Prize AnnouncementsTwo scientists who have won praise fｏｒresearch into the growth of cancer cells could be candidates fｏｒthe Nobel Prize in medicine when the 2008 winners are presented on Monday, kicking off six days of Nobel announcements. Australian-born U. S. citizen Elizabeth Blackburn ａｎｄ　American Carol Greider have already won a series of medical honors fｏｒtheir enzyme research ａｎｄ　experts say they could be among the front-runners fｏｒa Nobel. Only seven women have won the medicine prize since the first Nobel Prizes were handed out in 1901. The last female winner was U. S. researcher Linda Buck in 2004, who shared the prize with Richard Axel. Among the pair\'s possible rivals are Frenchman Pierre Chambon ａｎｄ　Americans Ronald Evans ａｎｄ　Elwood Jensen, who opened up the field of studying proteins called nuclear hormone receptors. As usual, the award committee is giving no hints about who is in the running before presenting its decision in a news conference at Stockholm\'s Karolinska Institute. Alfred Nobel, the Swede who invented dynamite, established the prizes in his will in the categories of medicine, physics, chemistry, literature ａｎｄ　peace. The economics prize is technically not a Nobel but a 1968 creation of Sweden\'s central bank. Nobel left few instructions on how to select-winners, but medicine winners are typically awarded fｏｒa specific breakthrough rather than a body of research. Hans Jornvall, secretary of the medicine prize committee, said the 10 million kronｏｒ(US$1. 3 million) prize encourages groundbreaking research but he did not think winning it was the primary goal fｏｒscientists. "Individual researchers probably don\'t look at themselves as potential Nobel Prize winners when they\'re at work," Jornvall told The Associated Press. "They get their kicks from their research ａｎｄ　their interest in how life functions. "In 2006, Blackburn, of the University of California, "San Francisco, ａｎｄ　Greider, of Johns Hopkins University in Baltimore, shared the Lasker prize fｏｒbasic medical research with Jack Szostak of Harvard Medical School. Their work ｓｅｔthe stage fｏｒresearch suggesting that cancer cells use telomerase to sustain their uncontrolled growthWho is NOT a likely candidate fｏｒthis year\'s Nobel Prize in medicine?【单选题】

A.Elizabeth Blackburn.

B.Carol Greider.

C.Linda Buck.

D.Pierre Chambon.

正确答案:C

答案解析:从短文的头4段可以看出，只有2004年获得诺贝尔医学奖的Linda Buck不在今年的候选人范围内。

4、WaterThe second most important constituent (构成成份) of the biosphere (生物圈) is liquid water. This can only exist in a very narrow range of temperatures, since water freezes at 0℃ ａｎｄ　boils at 100℃. Life as we know it would only be possible on the surface of a planet which had temperatures somewhere within this narrow range.The earth\'s supply of water probably remains fairly constant in quantity. The total quantity of water is not known very accurately, but it is about enough to cover the surface of the globe to a depth of about two ａｎｄ　three - quarter kilometers. Most of it is in the form of the salt water of the oceans about 97 percent. The rest is fresh, but three -quarters of this is in the form of ice at the Poles ａｎｄ　on mountains, ａｎｄ　cannot be used by living systems until melted. Of the remaining fraction, which is somewhat less than one percent of the whole, there is 10 -20 times as much stored underground water as there is actually on the surface. There is also a tiny, but extremely important fraction of the water supply which is present as water vapour in the atmosphere.Water vapour in the atmosphere is the channel through which the whole water circulation (循环) of the biosphere has to pass. Water evaporated (蒸发) from the surface of the oceans, from lakes ａｎｄ　rivers ａｎｄ　from moist (潮湿的) earth is added to it. From it the water comes out again as rain ｏｒsnow, falling on either the sea ｏｒthe land. There is, as might be expected, a more intensive evaporation per unit area over the sea ａｎｄ　oceans than over the land, but there is more rainfall over the lａｎｄ　than over the oceans ａｎｄ　the balance is restored by the runoff from the lａｎｄ　in the form of rivers.Most of the flesh water on Earth ______.【单选题】

A.is stored underground

B.is in the form of ice at the Poles ａｎｄ　on mountains

C.is found in rivers ａｎｄ　lakes

D.comes from the rain

正确答案:B

答案解析:本题有一定难度，需要认真读懂文章句意，答案依据比较明显，在文章第二段第四句，谈到剩下1/3的淡水以冰的形式存在在南北两极和高山上，回来看选项，B项是其近义解释，所以正确，答案是B。

5、Weaving with LightIn the Sierra Madre mountain range of west central Mexico, the native Huichol people live much the way their ancestors did-without electricity. That\'s because it\'s too expensive to string power lines to the remote mountain areas where they live. To help support themselves, the Huichol create beautiful artwork. They sell their art in cities hundreds of miles away from their villages. ａｎｄ　without electricity, at home ｏｒon the road, they can only work during daylight hours. When it gets dark, they must stop whatever they\'re doing.Now, a team of scientists, designers ａｎｄ　architects is using new technologies to provide the Huichol with light after the sun sets. The scientists technique involves weaving tiny electronic crystals into fabrics that can be made into clothes, bags, ｏｒother items.By collecting the sun\'s energy during the day, these lightweight fabrics provide bright white light at night. Their inventors have named the fabrics "Portable Lights," Portable Lights have the potential to transform the lives of people without electricity around the world, says project leader Sheila Kennedy."Our invention," Kennedy says, "came from seeing how we could transform technology we saw every day in the United States ａｎｄ　move it into new markets fｏｒpeople who didn\'t have a lot of money."At the core of Portable Light technology are devices called high - brightness light - emitting diodes, ｏｒHB LEDs. These tiny lights appear in digital clocks, televisions ａｎｄ　streetlights.LEDs are completely different from the light bulbs. Most of those glass bulbs belong to a type called incandescent lights. Inside, electricity heats a metal coil to about 2,200 degrees Celsius. At that temperature, bulbs give off light we can see.Ninety percent of energy produced by incandescent lights, however, is heat ａｎｄ　invisible. With all that wasted energy, bulbs burn out quickly. They are also easily broken.LEDs, on the other hand, are like tiny pieces of rock made up of molecules that are arranged in a crystal structure. When an electric current passes through an LED, the crystal structure produces light. Unlike incandescent bulbs, they can produce light of various colors. Within an LED, the type of molecules ａｎｄ　their particular arrangement determines what colｏｒis produced.The central part of the Portable Lights technology is ______.【单选题】

A.glass bulbs

B.digital clocks

C.incandescent lights

D.HB LEDs

正确答案:D

答案解析:本题有一定难度，关键在吃透句意，答案依据比较明显，带着题干信息词回文章定位，答案依据主要在文章第五段第一句：At the core of Portable Light technology are devices called high - brightness light - emitting diodes ｏｒHB LEDs。其中core和题干里的central part是同义词，回来看选项，D项和原文句意相符，答案是D。
