tired. it sounds absurd. but a few years ago, scientists tried to find out how long the human brain could labor without reaching a stage of fatigue(疲劳). to the amazement of these scientists, they discovered that blood passing through the brain, when it is active, shows no fatigue at all! if we took a drop of blood from a day laborer, we could find it full of fatigue toxins(霉素) and fatigue products. but if we took blood from the brain of an albert einstein, it would show no fatigue toxins at the end of the day.so far as the brain is concerned, it can work as well and swiftly at the end of eight or even twelve hours of efforts as at the beginning. the brain is totally tireless. so what makes us tired?some scientists declare that most of our fatigue comes from our mental and emotional(情感的) attitudes. one of englands most outstanding scientists, j. a. hadfield, says，“the greater part of the fatigue from which we suffer is of mental origin. in fact, fatigue of purely physical origin is rare.” dr. brill, a famous american scientist, goes even further. he declares，“one hundred percent of the fatigue of a sitting worker in good health is due to emotional problems.”what kinds of emotions make sitting workers tired? joy? satisfaction? no! a feeling of being bored, anger, anxiety, tenseness, worry, a feeling of not being appreciatedthose are the emotions that tire sitting workers. hard work by itself seldom causes fatigue. we get tired because our emotions produce nervousness in the body.文章大意：最新的研究发现：持续的脑力劳动并不使人疲劳，真正使人疲劳的是一些精神上的消极情绪。12what surprised the scientists a few years ago?afatigue toxins could hardly be found in a laborers blood.balbert einstein didnt feel worn out after a days work.cthe brain could work for many hours without fatigue.da mental workers blood was filled with fatigue toxins.答案：c细节理解题。从第一段的to the amazement of these scientists, they discovered that blood passing through the brain, when it is active, shows no fatigue at all！可知答案。13according to the author, which of the following can make sitting workers tired?achallenging mental work. bunpleasant emotions. cendless tasks. dphysical labor.答案：b细节理解题。从第三段的one hundred percent of the fatigue of a sitting worker in good health is due to emotional problems.可知答案。14whats the authors attitude towards the scientists ideas?ahe agrees with them.bhe doubts them.che argues against them.dhe hesitates to accept them.答案：a推理判断题。从文章的最后一段的we get tired because our emotions produce nervousness in the body可知，作者同意科学家的观点。15we can infer from the passage that in order to stay energetic, sitting workers need to _.ahave some good foodbenjoy their workcexercise regularlyddiscover fatigue toxins答案：b推理判断题。从文章的最后一段的a feeling of being bored, anger, anxiety, tenseness, worry, a feeling of not being appreciatedthose are the emotions that tire sitting workers.可知推知，要想精力充沛，必须去掉这些负面的东西，而去喜欢工作，享受工作。阅读理解-e(2013江西，d)one might expect that the evergrowing demands of the tourist trade would bring nothing but good for the countries that receive the holidaymakers. indeed, a rosy picture is painted for the longterm future of the holiday industry. every month sees the building of a new hotel somewhere. and every month another rockbound pacific island is advertised as the last paradise (天堂) on earth. however, the scale and speed of this growth seem set to destroy the very things tourists want to enjoy. in those countries where there was a rush to make quick money out of seaside holidays, overcrowded beaches and the concrete jungles of endless hotels have begun to lose their appeal.those countries with little experience of tourism can suffer most. in recent years, nepal set out to attract foreign visitors to fund developments in health and education. its forests, full of wildlife and rare flowers, were offered to tourists as one more untouched paradise. in fact, the nature all too soon felt the effects of thousands of holidaymakers traveling through the forest land. ancient tracks became major routes for the walkers, with the consequent exploitation of precious trees and plants.not only can the environment of a country suffer from the sudden growth of tourism. the people as well rapidly feel its effects. farmland makes way for hotels, roads and airports; the old way of life goes. the onetime farmer is now the servant of some multinational organization; he is no longer his own master. once it was his back that bore the pain; now it is his smile that is exploited. no doubt he wonders whether he wasnt happier in his village working his own land.thankfully, the tourist industry is waking up to the responsibilities it has towards those countries that receive its customers. the protection of wildlife and the creation of national parks go hand in hand with tourist development and in fact obtain financial support from tourist companies. at the same time, tourists are being encouraged to respect not only the countryside they visit but also its people.the way tourism is handled in the next ten years will decide its fate and that of the countries we all want to visit. their needs and problems are more important than those of the tourist companies. increased understanding in planning worldwide tourism can preserve the market for these companies. if not, in a few years time the very things that attract tourists now may well have been destroyed.文章大意：本文是一篇说明文。客观地说明旅游业造成的问题及其旅游业的发展方向。16what does the author indicate in the last sentence of paragraph 1?athe pacific island is a paradise.bthe pacific island is worth visiting.cthe advertisement is not convincing.dthe advertisement is not impressive.答案：c推理判断题。第一段描述旅游公司对景点“天堂”美丽的广告宣传，但是后文however一词的转折意味标明作者对此广告的不信任，故选c。17the example of nepal is used to suggest _.aits natural resources are untouchedbits forests are exploited for farmlandcit develops well in health and educationd.it suffers from the heavy flow of tourists答案：d细节理解题。第三段首先点明旅游业经验少的国家遭受损失最大这一观点。然后以尼泊尔这个国家例证。考生容易误选b，而文中提到的是，为了给旅游行走者提供路线，一些宝贵的树木被砍伐。18what can we learn about the farmers from paragraph 4?athey are happy to work their own lands.bthey have to please the tourists for a living.cthey have to struggle for their independence.dthey are proud of working in multinational organizations.答案：b细节理解题。根据第四段和farmer做定位。the onetime farmer is. 之后有一句话once it was his back that bore the pain; now it is his smile that is exploited.“曾经承受痛苦的是他的背脊，而现在是他被开发出来的微笑。”根据感情色彩首先排除a、d。文章只提及不再是主人，c选项追求独立是过分推断。因此选b。19which of the following determines the future of tourism?athe number of tourists.bthe improvement of services.cthe promotion of new products.dthe management of tourism.答案：d细节理解题。题中关键词为determines the future of tourism，是文中尾段首句decide its fate的同义改写。根据整句翻译，决定命运的是the way tourism is handled中的handled与选项中的management对应，因此选d。20the authors attitude towards the development of the tourist industry is _.aoptimisticbdoubtfulcobjectivednegative答案：c主旨大意题(作者态度)。通读全文可知，作者提出旅游业造成的问题，进而提到各旅游公司的觉醒，特别是尾段最后两句increased understanding in planning worldwide. if not.作者既表明了对旅游业现状的信心，又表明了对其未来的担忧。所以作者以客观的态度说事，不能单方面地选择乐观、怀疑或消极。（二） 2013湖南师大附中检测while you may be doing everything right, ignoring just one or two steps in the process may keep you from getting a job,
