D
A team of scientists proved that seals had a very good sense of hearing. These men trained blind seals to expect food when they heard sounds. The seals always began snapping(猛咬) when a strong signal was sounded.
It was proved that even a soft signal, a considerable distance away, could make these sea animals respond. That should make the fisherman who makes much noise while working, or talks loudly, start thinking.
The same team of scientists also trained seals to recognize different sounds. One bell-tone meant food ,two bell-tones meant no food. In the beginning, the seals made mistakes when the two bell-tones were sounded. They were given a light tap after each mistake. The seals were good learners. They easily learned to tell the difference between the sounds.
67.Why was it necessary to use blind seals? Because they______.
A. were unable to use sight for clues B. had better hearing
C. were waiting to be fed D. were the only animals to be found
68. To those seals strong signal meant_____.
A. snapping B. nothing C. food D. a light tap
69. The article doesn’t say directly but suggests that fishermen usually think______.

C. seals can only recognize bell sounds D. seals can not hear soft or long distant sounds
70. Which title will be the best to suit the article?

People who have lost the ability to understand or use words due to brain damage are called aphasics(失语症患者). Such patients can be extremely good at something else. From the changing expressions on speakers’ faces and the tones of their voices, they can tell lies from truths.
Doctors studying the human brain have given a number of examples of this amazing power of aphasics. Some have even compared this power to that of a dog with an ability to find out the drugs hidden in the baggage.
Recently, scientists carried out tests to see if all that was said about aphasics was true. They studied a mixed group of people. Some were normal; others were aphasics. It was proved that the aphasics were far ahead of the normal people in recognizing false speeches — in most cases, the normal people were fooled by words, but the aphasics were not.
Some years ago, Dr. Oliver Sacks wrote in his book about his experiences with aphasics. He mentioned a particular case in a hospital. Some aphasics were watching the president giving a speech on TV. Since the president had been an actor earlier, making a good speech was no problem for him. He was trying to put his feelings into every word of his speech.
But his way of speaking had the opposite effect on the patients. They didn’t seem to believe him. Instead, they burst into laughter. The aphasics knew that the president did not mean a word of what he was saying. He was lying!
Many doctors see aphasics as people who are not completely normal because they lack the ability to understand words. However, according to Dr. Sacks, they are more gifted than normal people. Normal people may get carried away by words. Aphasics seem to understand human expressions better, though they cannot understand words.
【小题1】What is so surprising about aphasics?
| A．They can fool other people. |
| B．They can find out the hidden drugs. |
| C．They can tell whether people are lying. |
| D．They can understand language better. |
| A．By asking them to watch TV together. |
| B．By comparing them with normal people. |
| C．By organizing them into acting groups. |
| D．By giving them chances to speak on TV. |
| A．People poor at one thing can be good at another. |
| B．What one says reflects how one feels. |
| C．Aphasics have richer feelings than others. |
| D．Normal people often tell lies in their speeches. |

Autumn and winter are cold and flu seasons. Will the old advice about dressing warmly help prevent a cold, or if you get sick, should you follow the old saying, “feed a cold and starve a fever?” And what about that fever? Should you take medicine to reduce your temperature, or is it better to let the body treat the fever itself? Everyone seems to have an answer. But is popular wisdom valuable?
Doctor Nelson knows a lot about cold and flu seasons. Nelson says research may be just starting to provide proofs for long-held beliefs. For example, scientists for years were against the idea that getting cold and wet might cause colds or flu. But recent studies have shown that cold temperatures cause stress on the body, and that stress can create conditions more inviting to viruses. So maybe it does make sense to wrap up warmly before going outside.
And what about feeding a cold and starving a fever? Nelson says if you have a cold and are hungry, you should eat. But a fever, especially a high one, suggests a more serious problem. He says people are usually not hungry when they have a high fever. Eating might even make a person sick. But drinking enough water is important. A fever easily makes the body lose water.
Finally, when should you treat a fever? Nelson says a fever should be treated if it stays at
40℃ or above for a day or more. A high temperature can damage brain cells. The doctor also believes in treating a fever if it prevents a person from sleeping.
Medicine like aspirin, for example, can be used to reduce pain and fever. But aspirin should not be given to children because it can cause serious problems.
1.We can learn from the passage that Doctor Nelson________.
|
A．doesn’t believe in the old advice about preventing colds |
|
B．is now trying his best to provide proofs for long-held beliefs. |
|
C．doesn’t think it necessary to see a doctor immediately if a person has a temperature of 40℃ |
|
D．doesn’t think it necessary to treat a fever even if it prevents someone from sleeping. |
2.According to Doctor Nelson, if someone catches a fever, he should________.
|
A．bathe in cold water |
B．drink enough water |
|
C．try to eat something |
D．take some exercise outside |
3.Which of the following is Not mentioned in the passage?
|
A．When people should treat a fever |
|
B．Whether the old advice about preventing a cold is valuable. |
|
C．What the medicine , aspirin, is used for. |
|
D．Why people should eat when having a cold. |
4.The passage suggests that_______.
|
A．aspirin can damage train cells if an adult takes too much of it. |
|
B．it is easier for people to catch colds when their bodies are stressed. |
|
C．some old advice about preventing colds doesn’t make any sense. |
|
D．the idea that getting cold can cause flu was proved true years ago. |
