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.The finding could prove to be useful to ______.【单选题】

A.the analysis of cardiac cells

B.the prevention of chronic diseases

C.the treatment of heart diseases

D.the study of longstanding mysteries

正确答案:C

2、Driving after drinkingThe legal ｌｉｍｉｔfｏｒdriving after drinking alcohol is 80 milligrams of alcohol in 100 millilitres of blood, when tested. But there is no sure way of telling how much you can drink before you reach this limit. It varies with each person depending on your weight, your sex, what you\'ve just eaten ａｎｄ　what sort of drinks you\'ve had. Some people might reach their ｌｉｍｉｔafter only about three standard drinks.In fact, your driving ability can be affected by just one ｏｒtwo drinks. Even if you\'re below the legal limit, you could still be taken to court if a police officer thinks your driving has been affected by alcohol.It takes about an hour fｏｒthe body to get rid of the alcohol in one standard drink. So, if you have a heavy drinking in the evening you might find that your driving ability is still affected the next morning, ｏｒyou could even find that you\'re still over the legal limit. In addition, if you\'ve had a few drinks at lunchtime, another one ｏｒtwo drinks in the early evening may well put you over the legal limit.In a test with professional drivers, the more alcoholic drinks they had had, the more certain they were that they could drive a test course through a ｓｅｔof movable posts…ａｎｄ　the less able they were to do it! So the only way to be sure you\'re safe is not to drink at all.Alcohol is a majｏｒcause of road traffic accidents. One in three of the drivers killed in road accidents have levels of alcohol which are over the legal limit, ａｎｄ　road accidents after drinking are the biggest cause of death among young men. More than half of the people stopped by the police to take a breath test have a blood alcohol concentration of more than twice the legal limit.It is important to remember that driving after you\'ve been drinking doesn\'t just affect you. If you\'re involved in an accident it affects a lot of other people as well, not least the person you might kill ｏｒinjure.A test showed that drunken professional drivers could____.【单选题】

A.have greater confidence than sober ones

B.move away a ｓｅｔof posts on the test ground

C.fail in the test despite their self-affirmation

D.serve as alarming examples to potential drivers

正确答案:C

答案解析:细节考查题。根据题干定位原文，答案参见第四段：在一次对专职驾驶员的测试中，他们酒喝得越多，就越肯定自己能在测试课程中过关，但通过的可能性越小。故选项C“尽管自信也不能通过测试”正确。

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.The word sunｓｅｔoccurring in the title of the novel most probably means____.【单选题】

A.the end of the heroine\'s life

B.the end of one\'s life

C.the end of traditional life

D.the end of the day

正确答案:C

答案解析:A:女主人公生命的结束；B: 一个人生命的结束；C：传统生活方式的结束；D: 一天的结束。正确答案是C。最后一段的第一句话是这么说的： If the novel is about the end of one way of life it also looks ahead如果小说是关于一种生活方式的结束，那么它同时也是朝前看的。

4、Outside-the-classroom Learning Makes a Big DifferencePutting a bunch of college students in charge of a $300,000 Dance Marathon, fundraiser surely sounds a bit risky. When you consider the fact that the money is supposed to be given to. Children in need of medical care, you might call the idea crazy.Most student leaders don\'t want to spend a large amount of time on something they care little about, said 22-year-old University of Florida student Darren Heitner. He was the Dance Marathon\'s operations officer fｏｒtwo years.Yvonne Fangmeyer, directｏｒof the student organization office at the University of Wisconsin, conducted a survey in February of students involved in campus organizations. She said the desire fｏｒfriendship was the most frequently cited reason fｏｒjoining.At large universities like Fangmeyer\'s, which has more than 40,000 students, the students, first of all, want to find a way to "belong in their own comer of campus".Katie Rowley, a Wisconsin senior, confirms the survey\'s findings. "I wanted to make the campus feel smaller by joining an organization where I could not only get involved on campus but also find aｇｒｏｕｐof friends. "All of this talk of friendship, however, does not mean that students aren\'t thinking about their resumes. "I think that a lot of people do join to \'fatten up their resume\'," said Heitner. "At the beginning of my college career, I joined a few of these organizations, hoping to get a start in my leadership roles. "But without passion student leaders can have a difficult time trying to weather the storms that come. Fｏｒexample, in April, several student organizations at Wisconsin teamed up fｏｒan event designed to educate students about homelessness ａｎｄ　poverty. Student leaders had to face the problem of solving disagreements, moving the event because of rainy weather, ａｎｄ　dealing with the university\'s complicated bureaucracy."Outside-of the classroom learning really makes a big difference," Fangmeyer said.Who is Katie Rowley?【单选题】

A.She\'s a seniｏｒprofessor.

B.She\'s a seniｏｒstudent.

C.She\'s a seniｏｒofficial.

D.She\'s a seniｏｒcitizen

正确答案:B

答案解析:文章提到了好几个人，Katie Rowley是其中的一个，第五段讲到了Katie Rowley。a Wisconsin senior是“威斯康星四年级学生”。
