遵义市2014高考英语二轮短文阅读类训练（1） 及答案或解析 it is difficult for doctors to help a person with a hurt brain. without enough blood, the brain lives only three to five minutes. sometimes the hurt brain gets better by itself. more often the doctors cant fix the hurt. sometimes they are afraid to try something to help. it is dangerous to work on the brain. the doctor might make the person worse if he works on the brain. dr robert j. white, a famous professor and doctor, thinks he knows a way to help. he thinks doctors should try to make the brain very cold. if it is very cold, the brain can live without blood for 30 minutes. this gives the doctors a longer time to do something for the brain. dr white tried his idea on 13 monkeys. first he taught them to do different jobs. then he operated on them. he made the monkeys blood go through a machine. the machine cooled the blood. then the machine sent the blood back to the monkeys brains. when the brain temperature was 50 degrees, dr white stopped the blood to the brain. after 30 minutes he turned the blood back he warmed the blood again. after their operations, the monkeys were like they were before. they were healthy and busy. each one could still do the jobs the doctor had taught them.dr whites idea works well on the monkeys. are there other problems with human beings? dr white thinks doctors will use his idea on human beings. he thinks it will help people who have heart problems, too. a person doesnt have to die when his heart stops. doctors can start it again. the problems come when the brain is without blood for three to five minutes, the person has a living body, but a dead brain. maybe in the future, doctors will try dr white.s ide when the persons heart stops, the doctors will quickly try to cool the brain. they will have 30 minutes

which made opec decide to announce a production cut, has put money in the pockets of consumers, who worry about the world-wide recession (经济衰退).the high price of gasoline has greatly changed driving patterns, perhaps permanently. we are seeing changes in habits. says julian lee from the center for global energy studies in london. people now prefer to buy small cars instead of gas-consuming suvs. if we see this change it becomes a much longer term issue with long-term demand destruction.in the short term, theres simple math. the price slide could save drivers a great deal of money. however, because the u.s. is out of its peak summer driving season, theres not toe much of an encouragement to drive a lot more just because gas prices are down.oil demand in the u.s. has dropped 10% in the few weeks, continuing a year long trend. according to the u.s. department of transportation, americans drove 15 billion fewer miles in august, or 5.6% less than they did the year before. dot says its the largest ever year-to-year decline recorded in a single month.due to falling worldwide demand, oil price dropped to its lowest level in more than a year. for months leaders of oil-rich countries have watched nervously as world oil prices have been more than 50% lower than the all-time high in july.all of this spells disasters for opec. iran and venezuela have pushed fellow opec members to make big enough cuts in production to change the plunge in prices in vienna on thursday for opecs emergency meeting. opec countries method of fixing their combined out-put has for years hugely influenced world prices, since opecs 13 members account for about one-third of the world s total oil supplies.64. accordi
