We can infer that the text is _.A. a research report B. a going out guide C. a review of different arts D. an introduction to famous worksBSometimes people call each other freaked-cat, but have you ever thought about this expression? When a cat is frightened, its heart starts beating faster, its muscles get tense, and there are changes in the chemicals in its bloodstream. Although the cat doesnt realize this, its body is getting ready for action. If the danger continues, the animal will do one of two things. It will defend itself, or it will run away as fast as it can. Something like this also happens to people. When we are excited, angry, scared, or aroused by other emotions , our bodies go through many physical changes. Our hearts beat faster, and our muscles get tense. All of these changes make us more alert and ready to react. We, too, get ready to defend ourselves or run. Human beings, however, have a problem that animals never face. If we give way to our feelings and let them take over, we can get into trouble. Have you ever said something in anger or hit somebodyand regretted it later? Have you ever shouted at a teacher, told somebody you were lonely, or said you were in love, and then wished later you had kept your mouth shut?It isnt always clever to express your feelings freely. Does this mean that its smarter always to hide our feelings? No! If you keep feelings of anger, sadness, and bitterness hidden away or bottled up inside, your body stays tense. Physical illness can develop. It can actually be bad for your health. It isnt good to keep pleasant feelings inside either; all feelings need to be expressed. Feelings that you keep all bottled up inside dont just go away. Its as if you bought some bananas and stuck them in a cupboard. You might not be able to see them. but before long you d smell them. And if you opened the cupboard, chances are that youd see little fruit flies flying all over them. Theyd be rotten. You can try to treat emotions as if they were bananas in the cupboard. You can hide them and you can pretend they dont exist, but theyll still be around. And at last youll have to deal with them. just like those bananas. 24. The best title for this article is_. A. Emotions Affect Our Bodies B. What Happens to A Frightened Cat C. What Happens to An Excited Person D. Feelings That People Have25. What does the word freaked mean in the first sentence?

A. give us some advice on how to express our feelings B. make us face the problem that we have to deal with feelings C. make us know that it isnt always wise to express our feelings freely D. tell us that it isnt good to keep feelings insideCA deal has been signed to turn by-products from a Scottish distillery（酿酒厂）into fuel for cars.In what is declared to be a world first, the Tullibardine distillery in Perthshire has linked up with a spin-out company from Napier University in Edinburgh. They plan to use bacteria to feed on the leftovers from the whisky（威士忌酒）making process. This will produce butanol which can be used to fuel vehicles.More than 90% of the stuff that comes out of a whisky distillery is not whisky. It is leftovers like draff and pot ales（酒糟） both produced in the early stages of the process. They are high in sugar and are currently used for things like fertiliser and cattle feed. Napier Universitys Biofuel Research Centre (BfRC) has already shown that the right bacteria can feed on those by-products to produce butanola direct replacement for vehicle fuel. Now the spin-out company, Celtic Renewables, and independent whisky producer Tullibardine have signed an agreement. Together they will apply the process to thousands of tons of the distillerys leftovers.Professor Martin Tangney, founder of Celtic Renewables, said Our partnership with Tullibardine is an important step in the development of a business which combines two important Scottish industries whisky and renewables. This project shows that creative use of existing technologies can utilize resources on our doorstep to benefit both the environment and the economy.Douglas Ross, managing director of Tullibardine, which spends 250,000 disposing of its by-products every year, said We are delighted to be partnering Celtic Renewables in this creative business, the obvious benefits of which are environmental. It takes a cost to us and turns it into something that has social as well as commercial value.The project is being supported by a grant（拨款） from the Scottish governments Zero Waste Scotland initiative. Celtic Renewables said it eventually aimed to build a processing plant in Scotland, with the hope of building an industry that could be worth 60m a year.28.

What does the underlined word “utilize” in the fourth paragraph probably mean? A. make use of.B. get rid of.C. use up.D. find out.31. Which of the following categories does this passage belong to? a. Health b. Science c. Food d. Nature e. Environment f. Business A. b,c,eB. b,e,f C. a,b,f D. a,b,cDAttempts to understand the relationship between social behavior and health have their origin in history. Dubos (1969) suggested that primitive（原始的）humans were closer to the animals because they, too, relied upon their instincts to stay healthy. Yet some primitive humans recognized a cause and effect relationship between doing certain things and alleviating（减轻）symptoms of a disease or improving the condition of a wound. Since there was so much that primitive humans did not understand about the functioning of the body, magic became an integral component（不可或缺的成分）of the beliefs about the causes and cures of health disorders. So it is not surprising that early humans thought that illness was caused by evil spirits. Primitive medicines made from vegetables or animals were always used in combination with some form of ritual（礼仪）to drive harmful spirits away from a diseased body.One of the earliest attempts in the Western world to formulate principles of health care based upon rational（理性的）thought and rejection of supernatural phenomena is found in the work of the Greek physician Hippocrates. Little is known of Hippocrates who lived around 400 B.C., not even whether he actually authored the collection of books that bears his name. Nevertheless, the writings attributed to him have provided a number of principles underlying modern medical practice. One of his most famous contributions, the Hippocratic Oath, is the foundation of contemporary medical ethics（道德）. Among other things, it requires a physician to swear that he or she will help the sick, keep oneself from intentional wrong-doing or harm, and keep secret all matters to keep the doctor-patient relationship.Hippocrates also argued that medical knowledge should be derived（源自于） from an understanding of the natural sciences and the logic of cause and effect relationships. In this classic thesis（论点）, On Airs, Waters, and Places, Hippocrates pointed out that human-being is influenced by the totality of environmental factors: living habits or lifestyle, climate, geography of the land, and the quality of air and food. Interesting enough, concerns about our health and the quality of air, water, and places are still very much written in the twentieth century.32. The topic of the first paragraph is summarized in _. A. Sentence 1B. Sentence 2C. Sentence 3D. the last sentence33. Why did primitive humans rely on magic in their beliefs about the causes and cures of diseases? A. Because magic was an inseparable part of their life. B. Because they had little knowledge about the body. C. Because the diseases were caused by the evil spirits. D. Because magic must be used in going through the rituals to drive out the evil spirits.34. Considering Hippocrates background, we can see from the second paragraph that _. A. he was the forefather of modern medicine B. experts are sure that the books bearing his name were not written by him C. he had a rational mind aided by supernatural instincts D. experts do not know much about him except when and where he lived35. All of the following are included in the Hippocratic Oath EXCEPT _. A. helping patients B. keeping oneself from harming patients C. keeping secret all matters to maintain a good relationship with the patients D. obeying rules for modern medicine practice第二节 （共5小题，每小题2分，满分10分。） 根据短文内容，从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项，选项中有两项为多余选项。Hearing ability is one of the important senses a human being has. 36. _.
