The phenomenon even has a name: phantom (幻覺的)

19、vibration syndromeand found it is surprisingly common.Now scientists believe that we are so alert (警覺) for phone calls and messages we are misinterpreting slight muscle spasms (痙攣）as proof of a call. Robert Rosenberger, an assistant professor at the Georgia Tech Institute of Technology has studied t

20、he delusional calls. He said sufferers describe a vague tingling feeling which they think is their mobile phone indicating it has received a text message or call while on silent. But when the device is retrieved, there was no one on the other end.Dr. Rosenberger said he found so many people say, “Th

21、is happens to me, but I thought I was the only one. I thought I was odd.” It seems that the syndrome particularly affects people at the beck and call of mobile phones or pagers. A 2010 study by Michael Rothberg and colleagues found that nearly 70 per cent of doctors at a hospital in Massachusetts su

22、ffered phantom vibrations. A more recent study of US college students found the figure was as high as 90 per cent.While the odd feeling is widespread, it does not seem to be considered a grave problem. Dr. Rosenberger said: “Its not actually a syndrome in a technical sense. Thats just the name thats

23、 got stuck to it.” He added,” Only 2 per cent of people consider it a problem.”While this phenomenon is widespread, the scientific community has not yet invested much effort in getting to the bottom of why we suffer phantom calls.Dr. Rosenberger said: “People are guessing it has something to do with

24、 nervous energy. The cognitive（認(rèn)知的）scientists are talking about brain chemistry, cognitive pathways changing. But its not like they have brain scans to go on.” He said: “We have a phone call in our pocket all the time and it becomes sort of an extension of ourselves. We have this sort of readiness t

25、o experience a call. We feel something and we think, OK, that could be a call.”1、Why do some people mistake slight muscle spasms for a call?AThey all have a vivid imagination.BThey are sensitive to calls and messages.CThere are few calls and messages in their life.DSlight muscle spasms affect them m

Despite evidence to the contrary, we still view technological change today as being more rapid and dramatic in its consequences for work than ever before. But this is nothing

29、 new. People have always viewed the technological changes that take place during their lives as the most dramatic and dangerous that ever happened in history.In the 1930s, the British economist(經(jīng)濟學(xué)家) John Maynard Keynes predicted the widespread use of electricity would produce a world where people s

30、pend most of their time doing nothing. In the United States during the 1960s, the government repeatedly investigates fears that automatic machines would permanently reduce the amount of work available. In 1988, one Australian historian claimed that at least a quarter of the workforce would be withou

31、t jobs within 10 years because of computers.Of course, none of these disasters came to pass in the United Kingdom, the United States and Australia, or anywhere else.Yet today, we are seeing the return of these predictions, with some experts claiming the world of work is once more undergoing radical

32、and unprecedented change. They argue that robots and other workplace technologies are causing a reduction in the total amount of work available, or are bringing a more rapid pace of substitution of machines for humans than has been seen previously.But there is a little evidence to support such belie

33、fs. Statistics show that the percentage of people in work, the number of hours they work, and how frequently they change jobs have remained remarkably constant over the past 20 years.This stability should not come as a surprise. There are good reasons why we should not expect new technologies to cau

34、se the death of work. New technologies always cause job losses, but that is only part of the story. What also needs to be understood is how they increase the amount of work available.One way this happens is through the increases in incomes that accompany the use of new technologies. With the introdu

35、ction of these technologies, good and services can be produced faster, which results in higher real incomes for workers. Higher incomes then increase demand for other products and consequently more workers are needed to make them. Additionally, while new technologies are likely to substitute for som

36、e types of workers, they will also increase demand for other types of workers, especially those with higher level skills and expertise.So, the end of work is no closer today than at any time in the past. But there is still a need to keep disproving the prediction, to reduce peoples fears.1、What is t

37、he function of the second paragraph?ATo explain the importance of developing new technology.BTo show how technology affected employment in the past.CTo argue that technological dangers are becoming more serious.DTo give historical examples of unnecessary fear about new technology.2、How can employmen

38、t statistics over the past 20 years best be described?AConfusing BReliableCStable DVariable3、According to paragraph 7, why does demand for products often increase after new technology is introduced?AThere are more goods for people to choose from.BThere is more demand for new skills in the economy.CP

39、roductivity improvements help raise workers salaries.DHigher quality goods at lower prices encourage consumption.4、What is the authors opinion about the introduction of new technology?AIt does not have an effect on most peoples jobs.BIts benefits are usually not worth the introduction.CIt usually le

40、ads to a significant increase in employment.DIts danger to peoples employment possibilities is overstated.24（8分）Scientists think they have answered a mystery: How some ocean creatures got so huge so quickly.A few million years ago, the largest whales, averaged about 15 feet long. Then seemingly over

41、night, one type of whale, the toothless baleen whale（須鯨類）became huge. Modern blue whales get as big as 100 feet. Nicholas Pyenson of the Smithsonian Natural History Museum said, “Why is that?” ”It happened in the glance of an evolutionary eye, which makes it harder to figure out what happened,” said

42、 Graham Slater, lead author of the study. Their study has suggested an answer: Ice ages in the last 3 to 5 million years started it, changing the oceans and food supply for whales.The researchers used fossil records of the smaller whales to create a family tree for baleen whales which include blue w

43、hales, humpbacks and right whales. Using computer simulations（模擬）and knowledge about how evolution works, they concluded that when the size changes started, the poles got colder, ice expanded and the water circulation in the oceans changed and winds shifted, Slater and Pyenson said cold water went d

44、eep and moved closer to the equator(赤道）and then eventually moved back up with small fish and other small animals that whales eat.Baleen whale, which have no teeth, feed by eating huge amounts of fish they capture. Toothed whales, like sperm whales (抹香鯨), hunt individual fish, so the ocean chants tha

45、t made food less evenly spread out didnt affect them as much. But baleen whales hunt schools of fish.Olivier Lambert at the Royal Belgian Institute of Natural Sciences calls it “a really convincing situation”. But he said the lack of fossils in certain time periods is an issue. As oceans warm from m

46、an-made climate change, the seas will be more like it was when the whales smaller and they will have a more difficult time surviving.1、What does the author mean by “It happened in the glance of an evolutionary eye” in the second paragraph?AThe change of baleen whales happened too quickly.BThe change

47、 of baleen whales was too difficult to explore.CResearchers paid little attention to the change of baleen whales.DResearchers thought the change of baleen whales was unimportant.2、What played the key role in baleen whales becoming huge?AMan-made climate change.BIts eating a huge amount of fish.CThe

48、water circulation in the oceans.DThe increase of food supply for whales.3、What do we know about sperm whales and blue whales according to the text?ASperm whales eat more food.BBlue whaler live much longer.CSperm whales prefer to hunt schools of fish.DBlue whales usually swallow schools of fish.4、Wha

49、t can we infer from the last paragraph?AThere are no whale fossils now.BThe whales may become even bigger.CGlobal warming has threatened the whales.DOlivier Lamber thinks the study is perfect.25（10分）Did you know that sixty percent of your body weight is water? However, a loss of only two percent of

50、this water through dehydration (脫水) during exercise can significantly affect your performance. The more you sweat, the more your exercise performance declines, unless you drink enough to replace your loss of fluids (液體).When you lose too much water, you can overheat quite easily, especially in a war

51、m environment. But this is not the only problem you may face. Dehydration leads to your heart pumping much faster, which means exercise becomes more difficult and requires more effort. Despite these problems, however, many of us simply do not take enough fluids in when we head for the gym or set out

52、 on a run.So why is this? How do we manage to lose so much water without simply drinking more to replace it? Well, its easier than you think. When we are at rest, we quickly become aware that we are thirsty and will put that right by having a drink. When we exercise, on the other hand, our thirst me

53、chanism (結(jié)構(gòu)) does not work as effectively, so we dont notice early enough that we are actually thirsty. In fact, we only start to fed thirsty when we have already lost around two percent of our body weight.Another problem is that, the more dehydration we become during exercise, the more difficult it

54、 is to prevent further dehydration-because our stomachs become intolerant (不能容忍的) to fluids and we do not absorb water properly, just when we need it most.The key thing about fluids and exercise is to manage your intake properly-regular small amounts are preferable, and some should be drunk before t

55、he period of exercise begins. You also need to match your intake to the sort of exercise you are doing. For example, for one hour of exercise, such as taking part in a 10 km run, you need to drink about two extra litres of water. For longer periods of exercise, sports drinks are recommended.1、We kno

56、w from the text that during exercise, dehydration .Acan be easily avoided.Bwill lead to poor performance.Ccan cause many health problems.Dwill be controlled whenever we drink again.2、Why do people suffer from dehydration easily during exercise?ATheir thirst mechanism stops working.BTheir focus is on

57、 the exercise.CTheir thirst response is slow.DTheir stomachs are full.3、When exercising, you are advised to .Ahave regular breaks.Bdrink water properly.Cdrink sports water in advance.Dhave at least two liters of water.4、What would be the best title for the text?AKeep fit BSay no to sports!CTime to g
