21、   Altitude training is a way of encouraging the body to produce more red blood cells, which can improve endurance (耐力 )when performing activities at lower altitudes. This kind of training normally involves living at a high altitude and training at a lower one, because the body needs oxygen to train. 【1】 Athletes from endurance sports typically benefit from this kind of training, but its effects will be felt by anyone who has a long stay at a high altitude.

For the purposes of altitude training, an altitude of about 2, 500 meters is desirable but any relatively high altitude will work. 【2】 So it is common to use a lower altitude.

【3】 this is accomplished by using the body’s natural response to needing more oxygen over a long period of time. There are people who question whether altitude training actually works by increasing the number of red blood cells. In theory, if one is competing at sea level, the increase in red blood cells will last for several days, after leaving the high altitude, giving one a competitive edge. 【4】

While altitude training is primarily used by athletes who need increased endurance, the desired effects of high altitudes will be experienced by anyone who travels to a high altitude for a long period of time.【5】 Children who normally live at high altitudes can become very active when brought to low altitudes due to similar effects.

A. Less oxygen makes them hard to breathe.

B. Red cells have been proved to be effective

C. It’s difficult to find altitudes this high that are still fit for training

D. It can be argued that any positive effects disappear too quickly to be useful

E. However, it is more common to actually travel to high altitudes in order to train

F. The purpose of altitude training is to increase the number of red blood cells in the body

G. Many people experience a great increase in energy when returning from high altitudes

22、No Car Day was first started by 34 cities in France on September 22, 1998．It was started to protect the environment. By now, more than 1,000 cities around the world have had a No Car Day.

The first No Car Day in China was in Chengdu in 2001．Other cities, including Taipai, Shanghai and Wuhan, also support the day.

In Beijing, more and more people are joining the campaign（运动）. It asks drivers to leave their cars at home for one day each month and walk or ride a bike to work. It also calls on Beijingers not to use cars on June 5 （World Environment Day）. The slogan for the day is, “If we drive for one less day, we can have one more nice day.”

So far, more than 200,000 drivers have shown their support. “We can’t control the weather, but we can choose not to drive,” said Wu Zonghua, a car club chairman. Beijing is trying to have 238 blue sky days this year. In the first quarter of 2012, Beijing only had 52 blue sky days. This was 11 days less than the number for the same period the year before. Much of the dust（灰尘） comes from the desert, but cars cause most of the air pollution. We must do more for No Car Day.

【1】The first No Car Day fell on _______.

A．February 2nd B．June 5th C．September 22nd

【2】_______ was the first city to have No Car Day in China.

A．Beijing  B．Chengdu C．Shanghai

【3】What does the underlined word “slogan” in Paragraph 3 mean?

A．目的  B．原因   C．口号

【4】How many blue sky days did Beijing have in the first quarter of 2011?

A．63．   B．52． C．41．

【5】Which of the following statements is True?

A．China is the first country to start No Car Day.

B．Much of the dust in the air comes from cars.

C．No Car Day has been supported by over 1,000 cities around the world so far.

23、Being an early bird, or the opposite night owl (夜猫子), is usually not something that is thought of as being highly under our control. Some people seem to sleep early while others get a second wind and tend to sleep late. This internal clock is a person’s unique internal timekeeper and the body’s own master controller of many functions. Most obvious is our sleep patterns; however, it also plays a role in our eating patterns, hormone levels, and maybe even our mood.

A recent study looked at whether the body clock is related to levels of physical activity. Using a watch-like device that measures movement, over 5,000 participants’ activity levels were collected for two weeks. After considering some factors that may explain differences, such as education or background health conditions, they found that night owls, as compared to morning types, had up to 60 to 90 fewer minutes per day of activity.

For those with a more of an “eveningness” type, jobs or other demands on time may mean that a morning alarm is sounding well before their natural wake time. As a result, a night owl type may be starting the day relatively “jet lagged” (有时差感的) —feeling out of step with their body due to being awake when the body would prefer to be asleep.

We should emphasize that this study does not tell us that being a night owl is the cause of lower physical activity. It only shows a connection between being an early bird or night owl and certain conditions. In this study, we only considered two factors —sleep patterns and activity. Using your eat-sleep cycle to your advantage as much as possible to be active is probably the best advice. Are you someone who feels ready and clear first thing in the morning? That may be the best time to get those steps in. More energy in the evening? Then scheduling that walk for after dinner may be best.

【1】What do we know about the internal clock?

A．It motivates people to sleep early.

B．It keeps a person careful about time.

C．It affects multiple functions of the body.

D．It masters the patterns of mood and eating.

【2】What was the result of the recent study?

A．An early bird received higher education.

B．A night owl had lower physical movement.

C．An early bird had more reasonable activity levels.

D．A night owl had better background health conditions.

【3】Which of the following best describes the feeling of night owls with a “jet lag”?

A．Uneasy.

B．Natural.

C．Energetic.

D．Embarrassed.

【4】What is the author’s suggestion for more activity?

A．Do exercise after dinner.

B．Adjust our sleep patterns.

C．Make a schedule in advance.

D．Make the most of our body clock.

24、Delivering life-saving drugs directly to the brain in a safe and effective way is a challenge for medical providers. One key reason: the blood-brain barrier, which protects the brain from tissue-specific drug delivery. Methods such as an injection or a pill aren't as precise or immediate as doctors might prefer, and ensuring delivery right to the brain often requires invasive, risky techniques.

A team of engineers from Washington University in St. Louis has developed a new nano-particle generation-delivery method that could someday vastly improve drug delivery to the brain, making it as simple as a sniff.

“This would be a nano-particle nasal spray, and the delivery system could allow medicine to reach the brain within 30 minutes to one hour,” said Ramesh Raliya, research scientist at the School of Engineering & Applied Science.

“The blood-brain barrier protects the brain from foreign substances in the blood that may injure the brain,” Raliya said. “But when we need to deliver something there, getting through that barrier is difficult and invasive. Our non-invasive technique can deliver drugs via nano-particles, so there's less risk and better response times.”

The novel approach is based on aerosol science and engineering principles that allow the generation of mono-disperse nano-particles, which can deposit on upper regions of the nasal cavity via spread. The nano-particles were tagged with markers, allowing the researchers to track their movement.

Next, researchers exposed locusts' antenna to the aerosol, and observed the nano-particles travel from the antennas up through the olfactory nerve, which is used to sense the smell. Due to their tiny size, the nano-particles passed through the brain-blood barrier, reaching the brain and spreading all over it in a matter of minutes.

The team tested the concept in locusts because the blood-brain barriers in the insects and humans have similarities. “The shortest and possibly the easiest path to the brain is through your nose,” said Barani Raman, associate professor of biomedical engineering. “Your nose, the olfactory bulb and then olfactory cortex: two steps and you've reached the cortex.”

To determine whether or not the foreign nano-particles disrupted normal brain function, Saha examined the physiology response of olfactory neurons in the locusts before and after the nano-particle delivery and found no noticeable change in the electro-physiological responses was detected.

This is only a beginning of a set of studies that can be performed to make nano-particle-based drug delivery approaches more principled, Raman said. The next phase of research involves fusing the gold nano-particles with various medicines, and using ultrasound to target a more precise dose to specific areas of the brain, which would be especially beneficial in brain-tumor cases.

26、阅读下面短文，根据所给情节进行续写，使之构成一个完整的故事。

An 80-year-old man was sitting on the sofa in his house along with his 45-year-old highly educated son. Suddenly a crow (乌鸦) perched on the tree near their window.

The father asked his son, “What is this?” The son replied, “It is a crow.”

After a few minutes, the father asked his son the second time, “What is this?” The son said, “Father, I have just now told you ‘It’s a crow.’”

After a little while, the old father again asked his son the third time, “What is this?”

At this time some expression of irritation (恼怒) was felt in the son’s tone when he said to his father unwillingly. “It’s a crow, a crow.”

After a little while, the father again asked his son the fourth time, “What is this?”

This time, the son shouted at his father, “Why do you keep asking me the same question again and again, although I have told you so many times ‘IT IS A CROW.’ Are you not able to understand this?”

A little later the father went to his room and came back with an old tattered (发皱的) diary, which he had maintained since his son was born.

On opening a page, he asked his son to read that page.

When the son read it, the following words were written in the diary:

“Today my little son aged three was sitting with me on the sofa, when a crow was sitting on the window. My son asked me 23 times what it was, and I replied to him all 23 times that it was a crow. I hugged him lovingly each time he asked me the same question. I did not at all feel irritated, but I rather felt affection for my innocent son.”
