2 分 满分 10 分 阅读下列应用文及相关信息 按照要求匹配信 息 Directions Read the following text and choose the most suitable heading from the list A F for each paragraph There is one extra heading which you do not need 46 79 Your heart is located in your chest a little to your left This heart of yours which is about the size of your two fists held together beats about 90 times a minute A grown person s heart beats about 60 to 80 times a minute The heartbeat is not just the same in all persons and it is not the same in any one person at all times 47 79 When your heart beats it is pumping blood to all parts of your body If you could examine your heart closely you would see that it is really two pumps placed side by side and working at the same time Each pump has two parts the upper part called the auricle 心房 and the lower part called the ventricle 心室 The auricles receive the blood as it comes into them after it has been pumped through the body The ventricles pump the blood out The right one pumps the blood to the lungs and the left one pumps the blood to all other parts of the body At the top and bottom openings of each ventricle are valves 阀门 which make the blood go in only one direction 48 79 Your heart is sometimes called the engine or the motor in your body and sometimes called the pump It works away both day and night First it pumps out some blood rests for a few seconds and then it pumps some more In a normal day the heart pumps about 2 500 gallons of blood from the auricles and A The engine in your body B The location size and heartbeat of a heart C What happens when the heart beats D How does your heart work E How do we know about the heart F What can a doctor tell by feeling your pulse 用心 爱心 专心7 ventricles 49 79 By using a stethoscope to listen to the heart the doctor can tell whether your heart is beating evenly and whether the valves are closing tightly The stethoscope makes these sounds so clear that the doctor can hear them easily The stethoscope has an earpiece that he places on your chest and tubes that he places in his ear The earpiece carries the sound or your heart s beating along the tubes to the doctor s ears and it makes the sound seem much louder than it really is The doctor could listen to your heartbeat by pulling his ear against your chest 50 79 An easy experiment can help you understand what happens when the heart beats You can do this experiment with a hollow rubber ball Make a small hole in it and fill the ball with water through the hole When you squeeze the ball you will notice how the water comes out in a spurt each time you squeeze After each spurt the ball comes back to its round shape again Something like this happens when your heart beats The muscles in your heart grow smaller or contract and squeeze the blood out of the heart Each time this happens we say your heart is beating Perhaps you have noticed that the doctor places his finger on the pulse in your wrist when you are ill By doing this he can tell how fast your heart is beating 第三部分 写作 共三节 满分 35 分 第一节 单词拼写 共 10 小题 每小题 1 分 满分 10 1 You shouldn t wear such 笨拙的 shoes 2 His 伤残 prevents him from holding a job 3 I have always 羡慕 your success 4 It s good to go on a diet if
