13.Bend over,take a deep breath and drink some water!This is just one of hundreds of tips you might get if you have the hiccups(打嗝).Hiccups are so mysterious.We really don‘t know why they start and why they stop.
Everyone has a favorite cure for a case of the hiccups.Some people think that a good scare is necessary to get well.Others eat a teaspoon of sugar.Still others drink a glass of water with a knife in it.
An American man named Jack O'Leary said he once had hiccupped 160million times over a period of eight years.He tried 60,000cures,but none of them worked.Finally he prayed to Saint Jude,the saint of Hopeless cases,and his hiccupping stopped immediately.
It took a British plumber(水管工) eight months to cure his hiccups.People from all over the world wrote him letters with suggestions for getting well.He tried them all,but the hiccups continued.Finally,he drank a"secret"mixture someone had sent him.By that evening his hiccups were gone.
Why did these cures work for these two men?No one really knows.But people who have studied many cases of hiccups have an idea.Hiccups usually go away if you believe in the cure.
21.C might be the best cure for hiccups.
A.Special pills      
B.A spoonful of salt      
C.Some water     
D.A knife
22.The plumber spentC in stopping his hiccups.
A.4hours          
B.2days              
C.8months      
D.8years
23.According to the passage,which of the following is TRUE?D
A.We know why the hiccups start,but we don't know how to stop them.
B.Saint Jude is an expert in curing the hiccups.
C.The British plumber drank a secret mixture given by an experienced doctor and then became well.
D.Some people think that a good scare is a cure for hiccups.
24.What is the main idea of this passage?A
A.Different ways to stop hiccups             
B.What makes hiccups happen
C.How to get hiccups                        
D.Jack O'Leary's hiccups.

分析 这篇短文主要介绍了治疗打嗝问题的各种办法.

解答 21.C 细节理解题.根据短文最后一段Hiccups usually go away if you believe in the cure.打嗝通常能消失如果你相信治愈,可知选D.
22.C 细节理解题.根据A British worker didn't stop his hiccups until eight months later.描述,可知他八个月后才停止打嗝,故选C.
23.D 细节理解题,根据文中句子Some people think that a good scare is necessary to get well有些人认为良好的恐慌是必要的,所以答案选D.
24.A 主旨大意题.这篇短文主要介绍了治疗打嗝问题的各种办法,故选A,终止打嗝的各种办法.

点评 在阅读时要抓住文章的主题和细节,分析文章结构,根据上下文内在联系,挖掘文章的深层含义,对于暗含在文章中的人物的行为动机,事件中的因果关系及作者未言明的倾向、意图、态度、观点等要进行合乎逻辑的判断、推理、分析,进一步增强理解能力,抓住材料实质性的东西

Dear Ms Lee,
I'm delighting to have you as my English teacher.English has become a global language,so I'm convinced that learning English is of great useful.We should learn English well to better understand that happens around the world.
But my English is rather poor.One of my problems are that I often feel nervously when speaking in public.Besides,I feel difficult to learn words by heart.I really hope you can offer me more chances to speak with English.But I also hope you'll give me some advices on how to learn new words.I believe I can make many progress than ever with your help.
Thank you!

8.Humans aren't the only ones getting a buzz from coffee.Caffeine can improve memory among honeybees and lead to better pollination(授粉).According to a recent study published in the journal Science.
The study was conducted by a team of researchers at Newcastle University in the United Kingdom.They found that the nectar(花蜜) of some flowers,such as those from grapefruit and lemon plants,as well as certain coffee flowers,contains low doses of caffeine.To get bees to feed on these flowers,the team trained the insects to associate food with the smell of the flowers.They also trained another group of bees to feed on nectar from flowers that were sweetened with a sugar,but did not contain caffeine.After 24 hours,the bees trained on caffeinated flowers returned to these plants three times as often as those trained on the sweetened flowers returned to the uncaffeinated plants.
Professor Geraldine Wright led the researchers."Remembering floral traits (花部特征) is difficult for bees to perform at a fast pace as they fly from flower to flower and we found that caffeine helps the bee remember where the flowers are,"Wright said in a statement.
Improved memory led to the better pollination.That's because once bees sip the caffeine nectar,they continue to look for more coffee plants to pollinate.This also suggests that caffeine plays a role in improving the bees'ability to search for food.
Researchers found that caffeine's effect on the bee brain is similar to its effect on mammals."The change is similar to that produced by caffeine in neurons (神经元)"associated with learning and memory in the rat brain,"Wright said.
Bee populations have declining since 2007.The dramatic drop in the insects'numbers has serious effects for ecosystems and the farming industry.Bees are needed in the reproduction of crops and spreading wild flower species.Understanding what keeps bees buzzing could help to make sure that the insects are able to remember and pollinate their favorite flowers.

56.Which of the following is mentioned in the passage?C
A.Caffeine has no effect on the rat brain.
B.Bee population has been increasing.
C.The nectar of lemon plants contains caffeine.
D.Bees dislike nectar from sweetened flowers.
57.After reading the passage,John,who works in the farming industry,will probably feelD.
A.annoyed          
B.angry               
C.nervous         
D.excited
58.Which of the following relationship is correct according to the passage?B
A.improved memory-caffeine nectar-better pollination
B.caffeine nectar-improved memory-better pollination
C.improved memory-better pollination-caffeine nectar
D.caffeine nectar-better pollination-improved memory
59.We can know from the passage thatA.
A.the rat is a mammal                      
B.caffeine has nothing to do with memory
C.bees are good at remembering floral traits      
D.Geraldine Wright did the research on his own
60.What section of a newspaper may this passage be taken from?A
A.Science              
B.Education           
C.Culture         
D.Sports.
