Death is natural, but do you have any idea of the process of dying? Modern scientists divide the process of dying into two stages---clinical or temporary death and biological death. Clinical death occurs when the vital organs, such as the heart or lungs, have ceased to function, but have not suffered permanent damage. The organism can still be revived(復活). Biological death occurs when changes in the organism lead to the “breaking up” of vital cells and tissues. Death is then unchangeable and final.

Scientists have been seeking a way to lengthen the period of clinical death so that the organism can remain alive before biological death occurs. The best method developed so far involves cooling of the organism, combined with narcotic（麻醉的) sleep. By slowing down the body’s metabolism(新陳代謝), cooling delays the processes leading to biological death.

To illustrate how this works, scientists performed an experiment on a six-year-old female monkey called Keta. The scientist put Keta to sleep with a narcotic. Then they surrounded her body with ice-bags and began checking her body temperature. When it had dropped to 28 degrees the scientists began draining（流光466） blood from an artery（動脈）. The monkey’s blood pressure decreased and an hour later both the heart and breathing stopped: clinical death set in. For twenty minutes Keta remained in this state. Her temperature dropped to 22 degrees. At this point the scientists pumped blood into an artery in the direction of the heart and started artificial breathing. After two minutes Keta’s heart became active once more. After fifteen minutes, spontaneous(自發(fā)的)breathing began, and after four hours Keta opened her eyes and lifted her head. After six hours, when the scientists tried to give her a penicillin injection, Keta seized the syringe（注射器）and ran with it around the room. Her behavior differed little from that of a healthy animal.

1.For a person who suffers from the clinical death ___________.

A. he still has the possibility of getting back to life

B. his most important organs are damaged.

C. he can not avoid final death.

D. he is still very much alive

2.Scientists try to make the time of clinical death longer in order to___________.

A. slow down the body’s metabolism.

B. bring vital cells and tissues back to active life.

C. delay the coming of biological death.

D. cool the organism.

3. How did the scientists put Keta into clinical death?

A. By surrounding her body with ice-bags and draining her blood.

B. By lowing her blood pressure and stopping her heart from beating.

C. By draining her blood, lowering her blood pressure and stopping her breathing.

D. By putting her to sleep, lowering her temperature and draining her blood.

4.All of the following indicate that the monkey has almost restored to her original physical state except the fact that___________.

A. her heart beat again.

B. she regained her normal breath.

C. she rejected a penicillin injection.

D. she acted as lively as a healthy monkey.

The world's first hamburger doesn't come from where you think it comes from. It wasn't invented in the United States, and it didn't originate in Germany. No, the world's first hamburger comes from China.

If you're scratching your head right now, you're not alone. But Chinese hamburgers are very real and they definitely predate the hamburgers we call our own in the U.S. Known as rou jia mo, which translates to "meat burger" or "meat sandwich", they consist of chopped meat inside a pita-like bun, and they've been around since the Qin Dynasty, from about 221 BC to 207 BC. Despite the differences between this Chinese street food and our American-style burgers, the rou jia mo has been called the world's first hamburger.

The rou jia mo originated in the Shanxi Province of China, and is now eaten all over the country. It's typically prepared and eaten on the street. The dough for the bun, or mo, consists of a simple mixture of wheat flour, water and maybe yeast. Of course recipes may vary, but this basic equation makes for a chewy and subtle pillow for the delicious filling. While the mo is traditionally baked in a clay oven, today it's often fried in a pan. They may look a little like Chinese steamed buns or baozi, but the dough for those are, of course, steamed, not baked or fried.

The meat filling might consist of chopped pork, beef, lamb or chicken that has been stewed with a variety of spices, like ginger, cloves, coriander and star anise. You might also find herbs like cilantro or greens like lettuce garnishing the sandwich.

1.What does the underlined word mean?

A. noodle B. food C. bread D. beverage

2.Which of the following is TRUE?

A. The mo people eat today is baked in a clay oven.

B. The world's first hamburger which was originated in the Shanxi Province of China is popular around the world.

C. The rou jia mo has a history of more than 2200 years.

D. The rou jia mo and American-style burgers share a similar cooking process.

3.What would be the best title for the passage?

A. Delicious hamburger

B. How to cook hamburger

C. Chinese invented hamburger

D. History of hamburger

Dear SJ,

Losing a best friend is never easy.

Your problem, is not just that you miss your best friend, it is that you feel empty and lost without her friendship.

It takes time to get over a lost, and during that time, your mind is getting used to a new way of being. This is usually a good thing, even if it feels like a bad thing.

Now that you are on your own, you are being forced to learn to be by yourself and to rely upon your own inner voice for guidance. I am sure that this feels strange for you, but if you can hang on for a bit longer, it may work to your advantage.

Best friends are cool, but it is important to know the difference between missing someone and being too independent upon them.

At your age, girls do tend to stick together and having a good boyfriend may not yet be the better choice. Your friend is leaving you, her best friend, for a boyfriend. Boyfriends are completely different from best friends. The distinction is that boyfriends come and go, while girl friends often stay in your life throughout high school, and even afterwards. It is a completely different sort of bond.

I suggest that you take advantage of this period in your life to expand your horizons. Enjoy the freedom of having no best friend for a while, and hang with the group. By the time your former best friend breaks up with her boyfriend, you will be in a completely different place, a far better place.

And, by the way, next time you feel empty and lost, try to write about it in a diary. In several months, you will look back and read it with curiosity about yourself. “Who was I then, and what could I have been thinking?”

1.Judging from the letter, SJ’s problem was that she didn’t know _______ .

A．whether to give up her best friend

B．what to do without her best friend

C．whom to choose between two friends

D．how to stop missing her former friend

2.The underlined part “a new way of being” (in Paragraph 3) refers to the situation in which SJ has to _______.

A．find a new friendship B．live without her boyfriend

C．learn to give up D．learn to be independent

3.The writer believes by the time SJ’s former friend loses her boyfriend, SJ will _______.

A．take revenge on her former friend

B．comfort her former friend

C．feel more independent and confident

D．continue friendship with her former friend

4.What does the last paragraph seem to suggest?

A．Unhappy experiences are easy to forget.

B．Keeping a diary helps correct oneself.

C．SJ will get over her problem soon.

D．One shouldn’t forget the past experiences.

Last night, on my way home I stopped because of being attracted by some hamburgers at a fast food restaurant. On my way in, a homeless man approached me and asked, “Do you have any bottles lying around?” I knew he would recycle them for a few cents, but I didn’t have any, so I said no. And again he asked, “Can you spare some change ?” I smiled, and said no again. He was very respectful; he smiled back and said, “OK, thank you.” Even though he didn’t have anything, he was still in good spirits. From the way he spoke I could tell he was smart.

Then I bought one hamburger and enjoyed my meal, but in the back of my mind I wondered whether the homeless man was hungry. After I finished my meal I decided to order another one for him. At this point I didn’t know if he was still around, but I tried anyway.

At the counter I ordered a hamburger and also a hot chocolate, because it was cold outside, and I thought it would help warm him up. They delivered me the hot chocolate first and as I waited for my hamburger, I noticed the homeless man was standing right beside me. I looked at him and smiled, “This hot chocolate is for you.” He replied like a gentleman, “Thank you so much. That’s very kind of you.”

I always believe no matter how hard up I am, there are always those who are worse off than I. When you help someone, it’s not always about money, it’s about love. The love you give today, someone might forget tomorrow. It doesn’t matter. Love anyway, because the greatest thing you can give is love.

1.What does the underlined phrase mean according to the passage?

A. Rich in money. B. Short in money.

C. Generous. D. Selfish.

2.We can learn from the first two paragraphs that the author _____.

A. was angry with the homeless man

B. was an old friend of the homeless man

C. decided to help the homeless man after his meal

D. finished his meal quickly to help the homeless man

3.We can infer from the text that the homeless man was _____.

A. old and sick B. polite and friendly

C. sad and nervous D. calm and confident

4.The author wants to tell us that _____.

A. love cannot be forced

B. money cannot buy everything

C. there is always someone that we can help

D. we shouldn’t forget those who once helped us
