It was difficult, 19-week trip, during which she explored the rainforests of Borneo, the Amazon and Congo, travelling around using variety of means of transport, including hot-air balloons and canoes. “Im interested in the way animals communicate with each other. It was sometimes dangerous making the program -I even went swimming with piranha(水虎鱼)fish. But the worst thing was insects. On one occasion I had 70 sand-fly bites on my arm. Luckily I didnt get sick. I prefer not to take tablets every day, but if I get a fever, take some medicine immediately.” Filming the series was exciting, but also frightening at times. Her most challenging experience was climbing a 100-meter tree in Borneo, as she has a great fear of heights. “I had to keep pulling myself further and further upwards. All I wanted to do was get down again. Suddenly the safety equipment didnt look very strong and I thought that my ropes would break and I would crash to the ground.” What did she enjoy most about returning to London? “When Ive been away in hot uncomfortable conditions for a long time I dream about an ice-cold drink and my bed at home! But the thing I look forward to the most is nice long showers. There wasnt much water in some of the places we visited and I worried that I was using it all up and not leaving any for my colleagues on the camera team! ”21.

Many people feel this way after lunch. They may think that eating lunch is the cause of the sleepiness. Or, in summer, they may think it is the heat. However, the real reason lies inside their bodies. At that time, about eight hours after you wake up, your body temperature goes down. This is what makes you slow down and feel sleepy. Scientists have tested sleep habits in experiments where there was no night or day. The people in these experiments almost always followed a similar sleeping pattern. They slept for one long period and then for one short period about eight hours later. In many parts of the world, people take naps（小睡）in the middle of the day. This is especially true in warmer climates, where the heat makes work difficult in the early afternoon. Researchers are now saying that naps are good for everyone in any climate. A daily nap gives one a more rested body and mind and therefore is good for health. In countries where naps are traditional, people often suffer less from problems such as heart disease. Many working people, have no time to take naps. Though doctors may advise taking naps, employers do not allow it! If you do have the chance, however, here are afew tips about making the most of your nap. Remember that the best time to take a nap is about eight hours after you get up. A short sleep too late in the day may only make you feel more tired and sleepy afterward. This can also happen if you sleep for too long. If you do not have enough time, try a short napeven ten minutes of sleep can be helpful. 24. Why do people feel sleepy in the early afternoon according to the text?A. Their body temperature becomes lower. B. They sleep too little at night. C. They eat too much for lunch. D. The weather becomes a lot warmer. 25. What advice does the writer give on taking a nap?A. Youd better take a nap about an hour after you have lunch.B. You can sleep as long as you like so that you will not feel tired or sleepy.C. Only people in warmer climate need to take a nap.D. If your time is limited, a short nap can also help.26. Naps are good for everyone in any climate because_.A. a nap makes both your body and mind have a good rest.B. a daily nap benefits your health.C. people who often take naps suffer less from problems such as heart disease than those who dontD. all the above.27. What would be the best title for the text?A. Just for a Rest B. All for a NapC. A Special Sleep Pattern D. Taking Naps in Warmer ClimateCFashion refers to the style of dress that are currently popular. Fashion goes beyond just clothes, though. Its important for some people to wear only the latest fashions and styles. For others, though, keeping up with trends (潮流) isnt that important. The one thing that stays the same with fashion is this: it always changes. In the 1960s and 1970s, hippies made bell-bottomed blue jeans popular. In the 1980s, Michael Jacksons made parachute pants all the fashion. Now try to find these items in todays clothing stores!Why do fashions change? The answer is probably as simple as the fact that people change. Over time, the new replaces the old. People are influenced greatly by popularly culture, including athletes, musicians, movie stars, as well as popular films, televisions shows, books and music. We are also influenced by the fashion industrys advertising. The stars of popular culture are always searching for a new angle to maintain their popularity. Often these new angles come in the form of new clothing or hairstyles. When people see the new styles, they often want to imitate their favorite stars. To do so, they seek out the latest fashions to make themselves look like the people they want to imitate. In this way, fashions evolve and change over time. For years, clothes have been used to separate people into groups. Even today, brand-name clothing that is more expensive than other types of clothing can be used by some people to distinguish themselves from others. Unfortunately, this can often have the effect of distancing certain groups from others. Dont forget that its always OK to develop your own sense of style that is unique and separate from what the fashion world determines! Stay true to yourself and your personality not your clothes- speak for who you are.28. the examples of bell- bottomed blue jeans and parachute pants in paragraph 3 are used to show that _.A. people often have different dressing stylesB. trends of fashion are changing all the timeC. people are always affected greatly by the starsD. hippies and Michael Jackson are good designers29.

In the last paragraph, the author mainly wants to stress_.A. the advantages of staying unique and separateB. the bad effects of following fashions and stylesC. the good benefits of popular styles to peopleD. the importance of having ones own personality. DDarek Fidyka, a 38-year-old Bulgarian, had been paralyzed (瘫痪的) from the chest down for four years after a knife attack. Scientists from Britain and Poland took cells from his nose, transplanted (移植) them into his back and re-grew his spinal cord (脊髓). Now he can walk and even drive a car. The doctors were delighted but said it was the first step in a long journey.The breakthrough came after 40 years of research by Professor Geoff Raisman, who found that cells had the possibility to repair damage to nasal (鼻腔的) nerves, the only part of the nervous system that constantly re-grows. “The idea was to take something from an area where the nervous system can repair itself and put it into an area that doesnt repair itself,” Professor Raisman said.Polish doctors injected (注射) the nasal cells into Mr Fidykas spinal cord above the injury and used some nerves from his ankle to form a bridge across the damaged tissue. The nasal cells appear to have caused the spinal nerves to repair themselves.Professor Raisman achieved this with rats in the late 1990s, but this is his greatest success. “I think the moment of discovery for me was Christmas in 1997 when I first saw a rat, which couldnt control its hand, put its hand out to me. That was an exciting moment, because I realized then that my belief that the nervous system could be repaired was true.”Doctors chose the easiest case for their first attemptit might not work for others. But there is a real sense of hope that an idea once thought impossible has been realized.David Nicholls, who helped provide money for the breakthrough, said information about the breakthrough would be made available to researchers across the globe.“What youve got to understand is that for three million paralyzed people in the world today, the world looks a totally brighter place than it did yesterday,” he said.1. Why did Professor Geoff Raisman choose cells from the nose?A. The nervous system in the nose can repair itself.B. Cells from the nose can be easily transplanted.C. The nervous system in the nose has more cells.D. Cells in the nose are able to re-produce rapidly.2. How did the operation work for Darek Fidyka?A. The nervous system in the spinal nerves can repair itself.B. The nerves from his ankle cured the patient of the injury.C. The nasal cells re-produced and spread over very quickly.D. The nasal cells helped the spinal nerves to repair themselves.3. What made Professor Geoff Raisman begin to believe the nervous system can be repaired?A. His former study with other people. B. His operation on a paralyzed patient.C. His sudden thought about Christmas. D. His unusual experience with a sick rat.4. David Nicholls words suggest that _.A. the world will become a better and brighter placeB. paralyzed people of today have the hope of recoveryC. the report of the breakthrough will be published soonD. researchers across the world will carry out the operation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。 I was ten when I first sat with my grandmother behind the cashier（收银台）in her general store. 36 I quickly learned the importance of treating customers politely and saying “thank you.”At first I was paid in candy. 37 I worked every day after school, and during the summer and on weekends and holidays from 8 a.m. to 7 p.m. My father helped me set up a bank account. 38 By the time I was 12, My grandmother thought I had done such a good job that she promoted me to selling cosmetics（化妆品）. I developed the ability to look customers directly in the eye. Even though I was just a kid, women would ask me such things as “What color do you think I should wear?” I took a real interest in their questions and was able to translate what they wanted into makeup（化妆）ideas. 39 The job taught me a valuable lesson: to be a successful salesperson, you didnt need to be a rocket scientistyou needed to be a great listener. 40 Except they are no longer women purchasing cosmetics from me; instead, they are kids who tell me which toys they would like to see designed and developed.A. Later I received 50 cents an hour.B. Before long, she let me sit there by myself.C. I ended up selling a record amount of cosmetics.D. Today I still carry that lesson with me: I listen to customers.E. My grandmas trust taught me how to handle responsibility.F. Soon I found myself looking more beautiful than ever before.G.
