continue, we will have used up all the oil that drives our cars, for example. even if scientists develop new ways of feeding the human race, the crowded conditions on the earth will make it necessary for us to look for open space somewhere else. but none of the other planets in our solar system are capable of supporting life at present. one possible solution to the problem, however, has recently been suggested by american scientist, professor carl sagan.sagan believes that before the earths resources are completely exhausted it will be possible to change the atmosphere of venus and so create a new world almost as large as the earth itself. the difficult is that venus is much hotter than the earth and there is only a tiny amount of water there.sagan proposes that algae organisms(海藻有机体) that can live in extremely hot or cold atmospheres and at the same time produce oxygen, should be bred in condition similar to those on venus. as soon as this has been done, the algae will be placed in small rockets. spaceship will then fly to venus and fire the rockets into the atmosphere .in a fairly short time, the algae will break down the carbon dioxide into oxygen and carbon.when the algae have done their work, the atmosphere will become cooler, but before man can set foot on venus it will be necessary for the oxygen to produce rain. the surface of the planet will still be too hot for man to land on it but the rain will eventually fall and in a few years something like earth will be reproduced on venus.1.in the long run, the most difficult problem caused by population growth on the earth will probably be the lack of _.a. oil b. food c. resources d. space2.carl sagan believes that venus might be a living place because _a. the days on venus are long enoughb. it might be possible to change its atmospherec. there is a good supply of water on venusd. its atmosphere is the same as the earths3.algae are plants that can_.a. live in very hot temperature b. live in very cold temperaturec. produce oxygen d. all of the above4. man can land on venus only when_.a. it rains there b. there is oxygen c. the atmosphere becomes cooler d. the algae have done their work【参考答案】1-4 dbda【河北省衡水中学2016届高三上学期七调】while i will explain a bit about the science of stress and relaxation a little later simple way to think about it is that our body s stress response works like a car alarm. keep ussafeby warning us of the presence of danger in our immediate environment.but instead of warning us with a loud and annoying sound，our body alarm system lets us know that something is wrong by creating changes in our neurochemistry (神经化学）.if youve ever experienced painin your stomach，periodsof extreme anger, inability tofocus or eveninsomnia(失眠），chances are your body was paying the price in those moments for the brain chemistry of stress.so if its so uncomfortable，why not just get rid of stress altogether?this is not only impractical，it would be dangerous. lets go back to the metaphor (比喻说法）of the car alarm. if the alarm is turned off altogether，the car is exposed to continual danger without there being any way of your knowing about it until it is too late. it would be like walking through the jungle without any fear signal in the presence of a poisonous snake or other dangerous animals while it might feel “nice” to be so relaxed，your body actually needs the stress response not only to remind you of danger but also to offer extra adrenaline (肾上腺素) for your heart and extra blood and oxygen for your arms and legs.however，if the car alarm goes off at any time，someone just looks at the car with a bit of an attitude，and it becomes equally useless. not only do we stop paying attention to it，but it begins to drive us and everyone around us becomes a little bit crazy. in the case of our bodies，walking around in a constant state of alarm also has some pretty alarming health consequences，which we will explore in greater depth in the next chapter.25. our bodys stress response is compared to a car alarm in that .a. they work all the time b. they both give a signalc. they work in the same way d. they both produce a sound26. when our body alarm system works， .a. we feel calm b.we feel excitedb. some changes happen in our brain d.some changes happen in our heart27. what would happen if stress were got rid of completely?a. we11 be free of worries.b. we11 achieve a sense of safety.c. we11 reach a perfect state of mind.d. we11 fail to realize the possible danger.28. whats thepurpose of giving the example of walking through the jungle inparagraph 4?a. to show the harm of stress.b. to show the effect of stress.c. to explain the function of stress response.d. to explain the necessity of stress response.【答案】25.b26.c27.d28.d26. c 推理判断题。根据文章第二段最后一句if youve ever experienced pain in your stomach，periods of extreme anger, inability to focus or even insomnia (失眠），chances are your body was paying the price in those moments for the brain chemistry of stress.如果你感觉到胃部疼痛，一段时期的极其愤怒，难以集中注意力，或者失眠，那么你的身体就是在为大脑化学的压力付出代价。由此句可知，身体报警系统工作时，身体是有变化的，如胃部疼痛，极其愤怒， 失眠等。因此c 为正确选项。27. d 细节理解题。从第四段 if the alarm is turned off altogether，the car is exposed to continual danger without there being any way of your knowing about it until it is too late. 可知,如果发动机的报警系统被关掉,车辆就完全暴露在不断的危险中,而没有任何迹象让你知道, 直到太晚。 也就是d 选项的说法，我们不能意识到可能存在的危险。 28 . d 推理判断题。文章第四段末while it might feel “nice” to be so relaxed, your body actually needs the stress response not only to remind you of danger but also to offer extra adrenaline for your heart and extra blood and oxygen for your arms and legs.句意,就象放松的时候感觉很好一样,你的身体真的需要压力反应,不仅为为了提醒你危险的存在, 也是为了给你的心脏提供肾上腺,为你的胳膊,腿提供额外的血液和氧气。由此可知，如果完全失去压力， 我们就不能意识到潜在危险的存在，就象人走在丛林中而不知毒蛇,猛兽的存在,这样 很容易引起读者共鸣, 以此来说明压力反映存在的必要性, 所以选d。考点：考查说明文阅读理解【河北省衡水中学2016届高三上学期七调】 at the magazine we welcome your contributions! we love to publicize authors，bloggers and businesses. and there are several spots available for writers. author
