Thats the finding of an extensive study of Dutch men in which deaths from heart disease were more than 50 percent lower among those who consumed(消费) at least an ounce of salt water fish per day than those who never ate fish.The Dutch research is one of three human studies that give strong scientific backing to the long-held belief that eating fish can provide health benefits, particularly to the heart.Heart disease is the number-one killer in the United States , with more than 550, 000 deaths occurring from heart attacks each year . But researchers previously have noticed that the incidence (发生率)of heart disease is lower in cultures that consume more fish than Americans do. There are fewer heart disease deaths, for example, among the Eskimos of Greenland, who consume about 14 ounces of fish a day, and among the Japanese, whose daily fish consumption averages more than 3 ounces.During the next two decades, 78 of the men died from heart disease. The fewest deaths were among the group who regularly ate fish, even at levels far lower than those of the Japanese or Eskimos. This relationship was true regardless of other factors such as age , high blood pressure , or blood cholesterol (胆固醇) levels .64. Which of the following is NOT true according to the passage?A. The Dutch research has proved that eating fish can help to prevent heart disease.B. There is a low incidence of heart disease in countries like Japan and Greenland.C. Among all the diseases heart disease is the most dangerous in America.D. Heart doctors wont call your house so long as you keep eating fish each day.65. The underlined phrase “this relationship” refers to the connection between _ and the incidence of heart disease.A. the amount of fish eaten B. regular fish-eating C. the kind of fish eaten D. people of different regions 66. The passage is mainly about _.A. the high incidence of heart disease in some countries B. the changes in peoples diet in the United StatesC. the daily fish consumption of people in different cultures D. the effect of fish eating regularly on peoples health 67. How many lives could probably be saved each year in the United States by eating fish according to the Dutch study?A. 550, 000. B. 110,000. C. 275,000. D. 852.( D)Deserts are found where there is little rainfall or where rain for a whole year falls in only a few weeks time. Ten inches of rain may be enough for many plants to survive if the rain is spread throughout the year, If it falls, within one or two months and the rest of the year is dry, those plants may die and a desert may form. Sand begins as tiny pieces of rock that get smaller and smaller as wind and weather wear them down. Sand dunes (沙丘) are formed as winds move the sand across the desert. Bit by bit, the dunes grow over the years, always moving with the winds and changing the shape. Most of them are only a few feet tall, but they can grow to be several hundred feet high.There is, however, much more to a desert than sand. In the deserts of the southwestern United States, cliffs (悬崖) and deep valleys were formed from thick mud that once lay beneath a sea more than millions of years ago. Over the centuries, the water dried up. Wind, sand, rain, heat and cold all wore away at the remaining rocks. The faces of the desert mountains are always changing -very, very slowly -as these forces of nature continue to work on the rock. Most deserts have a surprising variety of life. There are plants, animals and insects that :have adapted to life in the desert. During the heat of the day a visitor may see very few signs of living things, but as the air begins to cool in the evening, the desert comes to life. As the sun begins to rise again in the sky, the desert once again becomes quiet and lonely.68. Many plants may survive in deserts when_.A. the rain is spread out in a year B. the rain falls only in a few weeksC. there is little rain in a year D. it is dry all the year round69. Sand dunes are formed when_.A. sand piles up gradually B. there is plenty of rain in a yearC. the sea has dried up over the years D. pieces of rock get smaller70. The underlined sentence in the third paragraph probably means that in a desert there is_. A. too much sand B. more sand than before C. nothing except sand D. something else besides sand71. It can be learned from the text that in a desert_.A. there is no rainfall throughout the year B. life exists in rough conditionsC. all sand dunes are a few feet high D. rocks are worn away only by wind and heat ECar companies are developing vehicles that will plug into electric sockets，just like many laptops，digital cameras，cell phones and Mp4 doCalled“plug-in vehicles”，these cars will get most of their power from electricity. Their drivers wont have to stop at gas stations as often as usualThe technology is more than just cool. In our car-filled world，plug-in vehicles could reduce the amount of gas we use，which keeps rising in cost now and then. Besides，driving around in these vehicles may even help the environmentGas-burning cars produce a lot of greenhouse gas，which causes globe warming.The first company-produced plug-in vehicles could hit the roads by 2010. But engineers still have a lot of work to do to make the technology
