28、 condition known as jet lag. Jet lag results from flying long distances in an airplane. People with jet lag may feel extremely tired for several days. They may also have problems thinking clearly and remembering. Recently a researcher at the University of Bristol in Britain reported the findings of

29、his jet lag study, which involved twenty young women who worked for international airlines. They had served passengers on airplanes for five years. These flight attendants flew across many countries and at least seven time zones. In the study, the flight attendants had different amounts of time to r

30、ecover from jet lag. Half the women spent five days or fewer in their home areas between long flights. The other half spent more than fourteen days in their home areas.The researcher took some saliva (唾液) from the womens mouths to measure levels of a hormone (荷尔蒙) that increases during stress. He te

31、sted them to see if they could remember where black spots appeared on a computer screen. And he took pictures of their brains to measure the size of the brains temporal lobes (脑叶) . It was found that the women who had less time between flights had smaller fight temporal lobes. This area of the brain

32、 deals with recognizing and remembering what is seen. The same group performed worse and had slower reaction times on the visual memory test. And their saliva samples showed higher levels of stress hormones. The researcher believes the brain needs at least ten days to recover after a long trip. Fie

33、says airline workers told him their ability to remember got worse after working on planes for about four years. Other studies have shown that increased feelings of stress can cause a loss of cells in the part of the brain that controls memory. Scientists say more tests are needed to study the effect

34、s of jet lag on the brain. They want to find out if too much jet lag could permanently affect memory.56. According to the text, jet lag _.A. can cause difficulties in speakingB. can make people feel tired for a few weeksC. can be only found in flight attendantsD. can be caused by flying over several

35、 time zones57. From the result of the research we, can see that _.A. the women who have longer rest at home show better memoryB. tile women who fly in short time have smaller right temporal lobesC. the women who have longer flights fail the memory testD. the women who rest more than 14 days produce

36、less hormones58.

37、- A private company has announced plans to rebuild Beijings famous Yuanmingyuan Park in Zhejiang Province. Yuanmingyuan, the old Summer Palace, is a Qing Dynasty Imperial Park in the northwest of Beijing. Construction began in 1709 and continued for 150 years under five emperors. But it was burnt to

38、 the ground in 1860 by French and British troops. Hengdian will rebuild Yuanmingyuan near Dongyang in the centre of the province. A spokesman for the group surnamed Shi said the plan has gained support from the government as it will bring new life to the local economy, especially the tourism industr

39、y. The park will be located in a remote place in the countryside, with Mils, rivers and farmland, which corresponds to the original environment of the real Yuanmingyuan, Shi said. It will be a multi-functional theme park, Shi said the park can serve as an educational base of patriotism(爱国主义). If vis

40、itors compare,the wonderful park with the ruins of the Yuanmingyuan in Beijing, they will keep in mind the sufferings of our nation in modem history; Shi said. The park will also be used as a movie and television base. The group already has a development containing an imitation(模仿) of the Forbidden

41、City in Beijing, a Qin Dynasty (221-206BC) palace, and a Song Dynasty (960-1279) downtown street. The development attracted 3.2 million visitors last year. However, the project has caused different opinions. Ruan Yisan, a history professor with Tongji University in Shanghai, said he could not see an

42、y point of rebuilding the Yuanmingyuan, as it has already been destroyed. The remaining ruins are a witness of history and serve as a good reminder of what happened, Roan said. Therefore any attempt to rebuild the garden will only be an awkward imitation. Moreover, the real Yuanmingyuan was not buil

43、t in just five or 10 years. Ruan suggested the group could use the money to preserve sites that are in urgent need of protection.59. Where are we likely to find this passage?A. In a tour guided book. B. In a magazine.C. In a book. D. In a newspaper.60. Which is the reason of Ruan Yisans objection?A.

44、 The remaining ruins are a witness of British and French history.B. Yuanmingyuan has already been destroyed and it is valueless to be rebuilt now. C. The remaining ruins serve as a good reminder of what happened to the people in Beijing.D. Any attempt to rebuild the garden will be a wonderful imitat

45、ion.61. The passage is mainiy about _. A. the debate of Yuanmingyuans reconstructionB. the discussion of the value of YuanmingyuanC. the benefits of rebuilding YuanmingyuanD. the disadvantage of rebuilding Yuanmingyuan62. According to the passage, whats the attitude of Ruan?A. He supports rebuilding

46、 Yuanmingyuan.B. He objects to rebuilding Yuanmingyuan.C. He suggests preserving the sites to make money.D. His attitude is not mentioned.CDisaster warning: a whale of a taleOn the Internet, it is already a spreading tale: did the mass stranding(搁浅) and deaths of whales on an Australian beach signal

47、 the coming of the earthquake ?What is true is that three weeks before the earthquake off Indonesia, an Indian academic, Dr Kumar posted a note about a recent whale stranding in Tasmania, and predicted the possibility of an earthquake. It is my observation, tracking the data and drawing the location

48、 of shaking and earthquakes. I have noted with alarm last weeks report of mass deaths of whales on an Australian beachside. I will not be surprised if, within a few days, a massive quake hits some part of the globe, because the unusual death-wish of whales and its fate has the inter-relationship. Th

49、e earthquake may need a further looking into.On the discussion board of the British Medical Journal, a letter from a research fellow Chinthamani in Mangalore, said Professor Kumar had predicted the earthquake almost to the day. He said the professor wrote that he had made a five-year record of dates

50、, located whale stranding and observed a remarkable connection between the events.Does it have any substance(实质)? The answer is that it may have some. Mark Simmonds is the director of science at Britains Whale and Dolphin Conservation Society. He says that most whales are intensely social animals an

51、d act together: if one heads into the beach, the others follow. It may be an accident; sometimes human agency may be partly to blame; sometimes the Earths magnetic field(磁场) may play a role. But nobody has shown any correlation between whale stranding and earthquakes. If he is saying there is, he wo

52、uld have to present the data to prove his case. Kumars original email strongly suggests that he is in possession of just such data. Did he have a list of the correlations between previous whale stranding and earthquakes?I dont have a lot of these things, he said, when I asked him. So Kumar appears t

53、o have no evidence. Yet he undoubtedly did post his warning of a huge event, just three weeks before the biggest earthquake of the past 40 years. Chance? Luck? Science?63. A spreading legend on the Internet is that _. A. there will be a terrible earthquake B. the deaths of whales and an earthquake have some connection C. Dr Kumar can predict many things that w
