questions.Read the passages and then mark your answers on youranswer sheet.Passage AWe sometimes think humans are uniquely vulnerable to anxiety,but stressseems to affect the immune defenses of lower animals too.In oneexperiment,for example,behavioral immunologist（免疫学家）MarkLaudenslager,at the University of Denver,gave mild electric shocks to 24rats.Half the animals could switch off the current by turning a wheel in theirenclosure,while the other half could not.The rats in the two groups werepaired so that each time one rat turned the wheel it protected both itself andits helpless partner from the shock.Laudenslager found that the immuneresponse was depressed below normal in the helpless rats but not in those thatcould turn off the electricity.What he has demonstrated,he believes,is thatlack of control over an event,not the experience itself,is what weakens theimmune system.Other researchers agree.Jay Weiss,a psychologist at Duke University Schoolof Medicine,has shown that animals who are allowed to control unpleasantstimuli dont develop sleep disturbances or changes in brain chemistry typicalof stressed rats.But if the animals are confronted with situations they have nocontrol over,they later behave passively when faced with experiences theycan control.Such findings reinforce psychologists suspicions that theexperience or perception of helplessness is one of the most harmful factors indepression.One of the most startling examples of how the mind can alter the immuneresponse was discovered by chance.In 1975 psychologist Robert Ader at theUniversity of Rochester School of Medicine conditioned（使形成条件反射）mice to avoid saccharin（糖精）by simultaneously feeding them thesweetener and injecting them with a drug that while suppressing theirimmune systems caused stomach upsets.Associating the saccharin with thestomach pains,the mice quickly learned to avoid the sweetener.In order toextinguish this dislike for the sweetener,Ader re-exposed the animals tosaccharin,this time without the drug,and was astonished to find that thosemice that had received the highest amounts of sweetener during their earlierconditioning died.He could only speculate that he had so successfullyconditioned the rats that saccharin alone now served to weaken their immunesystems enough to kill them.Multiple Choice Questions(10)1.Laudenslagers experiment showed that the immune system of those ratswho could turn off the electricity _.A.was strengthenedB.was not affectedC.was alteredD.was weakened2.According to the passage,the experience of helplessness causes rats to_.A.try to control unpleasant stimuliB.turn off the electricityC.behave passively in controllable situationsD.become abnormally suspicious3.The reason why the mice in Aders experiment avoided saccharin was that_.A.they disliked its tasteB.it affected their immune systemsC.it led to stomach painsD.they associated it with stomachaches4.The passage tells us that the most probable reason for the death of the micein Aders experiment was that _.A.they had been weakened psychologically by the saccharinB.the sweetener was poisonous to themC.their immune systems had been altered by the mindD.they had taken too much sweetener during earlier conditioning5.It can be concluded from the passage that the immune systems of animals_.A.can be weakened by conditioningB.can be suppressed by drug injectionsC.can be affected by frequent doses of saccharinD.can be altered by electric shocks【答案与解析】1.B 由第一段的Laudenslager found that the immune response wasdepressed below normal in the helpless rats but not in those that could turnoff the electricity可知，能够切断电源的老鼠的免疫反应不会被抑制，即不会受到影响，故应选B。2.C 由第二段的But if the animals are confronted with situations they haveno control over,they later behave passively when faced with experiencesthey can control可知，如果动物面对的是他们无法控制的情况，那么当他们面对可以控制的经历时，他们就会表现得很被动，故应选C。3.D 由最后一段的Associating the saccharin with the stomach pains,themice quickly learned to avoid the sweetener可知，老鼠之所以能够避开糖精，是因为它们将其与胃痛联系在一起，故应选D。4.C 由最后一段的第一句可知，该段主要讲述大脑是如何改变免疫反应的，所举的例子便是Aders experiment，由此可推断出该实验中老鼠的死因最可能是C选项的“大脑改变了它们的免疫系统”。5.A 由最后一段的and was astonished to find that those mice that hadreceived the highest amounts of sweetener during their earlier conditioningdied可知，动物的免疫系统会因conditioning而减弱，故应选A。Passage BSince 1992,the U.S.has offered Israel an additional$2 billion annually inloan guarantees.Congressional researchers have disclosed that between 1974and 1989,$16.4 billion in U.S.military loans were converted to grants andthat this was the understanding from the beginning.Indeed,all past U.S.loans to Israel have eventually been forgiven by Congress,which hasundoubtedly helped Israels often-touted claim that they have never defaultedon a U.S.government loan.U.S.policy since 1984 has been that economicassistance to Israel must equal or exceed Israels annual debt repayment tothe United States.Unlike other countries,which receive aid in quarterlyinstallments,aid to Israel since 1982 has been given in a lump sum at thebeginning of the fiscal year,leaving the U.S.government to borrow fromfuture revenues.Israel even lends some of this money back through U.S.treasury bills and collects the additional interest.In addition,there is the more than$1.5 billion in private U.S.funds that goto Israel annually in the form of$1 billion in private tax-deductible donationsand$500 million in Israeli bonds.The ability of Americans to make whatamounts to tax-deductible contributions to a foreign government,madepossible through a number of Jewish charities,does not exist with any othercountry.Nor do these figures include short-and-long-term commercial loansfrom U.S.banks,which have been as high as$1 billion annually in recentyears.Total U.S.aid to Israel is approximately one-third of the American foreign-aid budget,even though Israel comprises just 0.001 percent of the worldspopulation and already has one of the worlds higher per capita incomes.Indeed,Israels GNP is higher than the combined GNP of Egypt,Lebanon,Syria,Jordan,the West Bank and Gaza.With a per capita income of about$14,000,Israel ranks as the sixteenth wealthiest country in the world;Israelisenjoy a higher per capita income than oil-rich Saudi Arabia and are onlyslightly less well-off than most Western European countries.AID does not term economic aid to Israel as development assistance,butinstead uses the term“economic support funding”.Given Israels relativeprosperity,U.S.aid to Israel is becoming increasingly controversial.In 1994,Yossi Beilen,deputy foreign minister of Israel and a Knesset member,toldthe Womens International Zionist Organization,“If our economic situation isbetter than in many of your countries,how can we go on asking for yourcharity?”Multiple Choice Questions(10)6.According to the passage,American economic assistance to Israel took allthe following forms EXCEPT _.A.private fundsB.commercial loans from U.S.banksC.government grantsD.government donations7.What is the writers attitude towards American economic aid to Israel?A.Disapproving.B.Appreciative.C.Ambiguous.D.Difficult to tell.8.What is the main reason why U.S.aid to Israel is becoming controversial?A.The large sum of loans to Israel.B.American financial situation.C.The relative prosperity of Israel economy.D.Survey of U.S.Congressional researchers.9.The words of the deputy foreign minister of Israel indicate that _.A.Jewish charities provided great help for IsraelB.American is obliged to give Israel economic aidC.Israel actually doesnt deserve American economic aidD.Israels economy is worsening10.It can be inferred from Israels“often-touted claim”that _.A.Israel was satisfied with the ability in repaying all the loans from AmericaB.U.S.government should not worry about the Israels economicdevelopmentC.U.S economic aid to Israel was a wrong actionD.American economic assistance to Israel was successful【答案与解析】6.B 由第二段的Nor do these figures include short-and-long-term
