refined white rice (精炼米). when he fed them with unrefined rice, also known as brown rice, they recovered. eijkman realized that he had made an important discovery that some things in food could prevent disease. these things were named vitamins. the javanese were not getting enough vitamins because they had actually removed the part that contains vitamins. later, other diseases were also

that we are defined more by the detours(绕行路)in life than by the narrow road toward goals. i like this image. but it was quite by accident that i discovered the deep meaning of his words.for years we made the long drive from our home in seattle to my parents home in boise in nine hours. we traveled the way most people do: the fastest, shortest, easiest road, especially when i was alone with four noisy, restless kids who hate confinement(限制)and have strong opinions about everything.road trips felt risky, so i would drive fast, stopping only when i had to. we would stick to the freeways and arrive tired. but then banner, our lamb was born. he was rejected by his mama days before our planned trip to boise. i had two choices: leave banner with my husband, or take him with me. my husband made the decision for me.that is how i found myself on the road with four kids, a baby lamb and nothing but my everlasting optimism to see me through. we took the country roads out of necessity. we had to stop every hour, let banner shake out his legs and feed him. the kids chased him and one another. theyd get back in the car breathless and energized, smelling fresh from the cold air.we explored side roads, catching grasshoppers in waist-high grass. even if we simply looked out of the car windows at baby pigs following their mother, or fish leaping out of the water, it was better than the best ride down the freeway. here was life. and new horizons.we eventually arrived at my parents doorstep astonishingly fresh and full of stories.i grew brave with the trip back home and creative with my disciplining technique. on an empty section of road, everyone started quarreling. i stopped the car, ordered all kids out and told them to meet me up ahead. i parked my car half a mile away and read my book in sweet silence.some road trips are by necessity fast and straight. but that trip with banner opened our eyes to a world available to anyone adventurous enough to wander around and made me realize that a detour may uncover the best part of a journey-and the best part of yourself.28.why did the author use to take freeways to her parents home? a. she neednt stop on the

muscle strength once the cast is removed can be difficult. now researchers at the ohio musculoskeletal and neurological institute (omni) at ohio university have found that the mind is critical in maintaining muscle strength following a long period of not moving and that mental imagination may be key in reducing the associated muscle loss. strength is controlled by a number of factors-the most studied by far is skeletal muscle. however, the nervous system is also an important, though not fully understood, determining factor of strength and weakness. brian c. clark and colleagues set out to test how the system functions in strength development. they designed an experiment to measure changes in wrist (腕) muscle strength in three groups of healthy adults. twenty-nine subjects wore a hard cast that extended from just below the elbow (肘) past the fingers, effectively preventing the hand and wrist from moving, for four weeks. fifteen subjects who did not wear casts served as the control group. of the 29 people wearing a hard cast, half were asked to regularly perform an exercise, imagining they were strongly contracting their wrist for five seconds and then resting for five seconds. this was repeated four times in a row followed by a one-minute break for a total of 13 rounds per session and five sessions per week. the other half performed no imagination exercises.at the end of the four-week experiment, both groups who wore casts had lost strength in their unmoving limbs (肢体) when compared to the control group. but the group that performed imagination exercises lost 50% less strength than the non-imagination group. the nervous systems ability to fully make the muscle recover also returned more quickly in the imagination group compared to the non-imagination group.32. what does the underlined word “critical” mean in the first paragraph? a. serious. b. embarrassing. c. important. d. normal.33. which of the following statements is not true according to the passage? a. scientists have partly understood the nervous system. b. whoever has worn a cast for long may have difficulty in muscle recovery. c. scientists have already spent a lot of time in studying skeletal muscle. d. the number of the subjects in the experiment was 29 in all. 34. what can we learn from the experiment? a. the control group lost 50% less strength than the non-imagination group. b. the imagination group lost more strength than the non-imagination group. c. the control group wore casts but didnt perform the imagination exercise. d. the speed of non-imagination groups muscle recovery was slower. 35. where can you most probably find the passage? a. in a science magazine. b. in a storybook. c. in a textbook . d. in a book review.第二节（共5小题；每小题2分，满分10分） 根据短文内容,
