unpublished study had found that mobile phones cause memory loss and a british newspaper devoted its front page to a picture supposedly showing how mobile phones heat the brainfor anyone who uses a moblie phone，these are worring timesbut speak to the scientists whose work is the focus of these scared and you will hear a different story what we do have，however，are some results suggesting that mobile phonesemission(辐射)have a variety of strange effects on living tissue that cant be explained by the general radiation biologyand its only when the questions raised by these experiments are answered that well be able to say for sure what moblie phones might be doing to the brain one of the strange effects comes from the now famous“memory loss”study alan preece and his colleagues at the university of bristol placed a device(装置)that copied the microwave emission of mobile phones to the left ear of volunteersthe volunteers were all good at recalling words and pictures they had been shown on a computer screenpreece says he still cant comment on the effects of using a mobile phone for years on endbut he rules out the suggestion that mobile phones have an immediate effect on our cognitive(感知的)abilities“im pretty sure there is no effect on shortterm memory，”he says another expert，tatterasll，remarked that his latest findings have removed fears about memory lossone result，for instance，suggests that nerve cell synapses(神经元突触)exposed to microwaves become morerather than lessreceptive to undergoing changes linked to the memory formation it would be an even happier outcome if microwave turned out to be good for youit sounds crazy，but a couple of years ago a team led by william adey at the veterans affairs medical center in california，found that mice exposed to microwave for two hours a day were less likely to develop brain tumours(肿瘤)when given a cancercausing chemical so should we forget about mobile phone radiation causing brain tumours and making us unable to think clearly or reasonably? “if it doesnt certainly cause cancer in animals and cellsthen it probably isnt going to cause cancer in humans，”says williamand while theres still no absolute evidence that mobile phone does damage your memories or give your cancer，the unanimity is：dont panic29.what worries people who use mobile phones? a.mobile phones will kill them. b.mobile phones cause memory loss. c.mobile phones heat the brain. d.all above is right. 30.what is the attitude of preece on the suggestion that mobile phones have an immediate effect on our congnitive abilities? a.doubt. b.disagree. c.approve.d.wait and see. 31.the underlined word“unanimity”in the last paragraph most probably means“_” a.consensusb.disagreement c.possibility d.impossibility 32.from the fifth paragraph，we can infer that being exposed to microwaves for two hours_ a.can result in killing you b.is likely to develop brain tumours c.is unlikely to develop brain tumours d.will cause your loss of memory for everd think about what you had for lunch: was it a hamburger? a chicken sandwich? barbecue? what about vegetables? would it surprise you to learn that what you eat can affect the whole planet?it canin a big way. new studies show how food and its production affect the globe and its warming climate. youve probably heard of global warming. the temperature is on the rise because humankind has been releasing (排放) amounts of gases into the atmosphere. one of these greenhouse gases is carbon dioxide (二氧化碳). what does this have to do with food? a big part of the carbon dioxide that we put in the atmosphere every year comes from the process of making and eating food. the production of meat contributes a lot of that carbon dioxide. and much of meats contribution comes from beef, which is responsible for releasing even more warming gases into the atmosphere. the process of making a hamburger, for example, requires a lot of energy. a cow has to be fed and raised on farmland, and cow waste is a major source of methane (沼气) an especially powerful greenhouse gas. the cow has to be killed. the meat has to be processed and shipped to a shop, which takes fuel. most of the cow wont even be used for meat that people eat. by the time a hamburger finally lands on a dinner plate, it has made a heavy effect on the environment. we can reduce the production of global-warming gases by eating less beef. other kinds of meat like pork and chicken do less harm to the environment at least in terms of the amount of greenhouse gases released. all kinds of meat are harder on the planet than vegetables. to grow and eat a pound of potatoes, for example, sends less than one-quarter pound of carbon dioxide into the air. so changing our diet to less meat and more vegetables, as it turns out, may do the world some good.33.the questions asked in the first paragraph are used to _. a.show the authors concern about food safety. b.express the authors puzzlement at what to eat. c.introduce the topic to be discussed in the passage. d.remind readers of something delicious to eat. 34.what is the bad news for meat-eaters? a.most cows are raised not for people to eat. b.meat producing contributes to global warming. c.there is a lot of carbon dioxide in the meat we eat. d.animals begin to die off because of global warming. 35.which is the most environment-friendly food according to the passage? a.carrot b.beef c.pork d.chicken iii、七选五：(本大题共5小题，共10.0分) the science of risk-seekingsometimes we decide that a little unnecessary danger is worth it because when we weigh the risk and the reward, the risk seems worth tasking. 36 some of us enjoy activities that would surprise and scare the rest of us. why? experts say it may have to do with how our brains work.the reason why any of us take any risks at all might have to do with early humans. risk-takers were better at hunting, fighting, or exploring. 37 as the quality of risk-taking was passed from on ration to the next, humans ended up with a sense of adventure and a tolerance for risk.so why arent we all jumping out of airplanes then? well, even 200,000 years ago, too much risk-taking could get one killed. a few daring survived, though, along with a few stay-in-the-cave types. as a result, humans developed a range of character types that still exists today. so maybe you love car racing, or maybe you hate it. 38 no matter where you are on the risk-seeking range, scientists say that your willingness to take risks increases during your teenage years. 39 to help you do that, your brain increases your hunger for new experiences. new experiences often mean taking some risks, so your brain raises your tolerance for risk as well. 40 for the risk-seekers a part of the brain related to pleasure becomes active, while for the rest of us, a part of the brain related to fear becomes active. as experts continue to study the science of risk-seeking, well continue to hit the mountains, the waves or the shallow end of the pool.it all depends on your character.those are the risks you should jump to take.being better at those things meant a greater chance of survival.thus, these well-equipped people survived because they were the fittest.this is when you start to move away from your family and into the bigger world.however, we are not all using the same reference standard to weigh risks and rewards.new brain research suggests our brains work differently when we face a nervous situation.iv、完形填空(本大题共20小题，共30.0分) one rainy afternoon i was sitting at
