31. The word “deteriorate” in the first sentence of the passage means_____.

Organs differ in their sensitivity to damage. At body temperature, permanent destruction of the brain occurs after more than three to five minutes; of the heart, liver and lung, after 10 to 30 minutes; of the kidney(肾)，after 50 to 100 minutes; and of the skin, after 6 to 12 hours.
32.It is obvious that_____.
A) kidney is one of the most delicate organs
B) brain is more delicate than most organs
C) brain can never be transplanted
D) many people are willing to donate their kidneys
Although the shorter the time the organ is deprived of its blood supply the better, the cornea(角膜)can be removed for grafting(移植)at relative leisure, but ….
34. Which of the following organs can survive the longest?
A) Livers B) Lungs C) Hearts D) Cornea
….For a kidney to be preserved from 48 to 72 hours, a complicated machine is required to provide artificial circulation. To keep a kidney undamaged for longer than 72 hours is difficult. Blood cells, spermatozoa(精子)and certain other dissociated tissue cells can be frozen to subzero temperatures and kept alive indefinitely.
35. Cooling_____.
A) can help preserve kidneys without damage for 72 hours
B) keeps blood cells alive very long in subzero temperatures
C) can not stop blood supply
D) keeps organs from deteriorating
Special preserving fluids will prevent cell destruction by ice-crystals, but these fluids have damaging effects if introduced into whole organs such as the kidney.
33. Which of the following is TRUE?
A) A newly removed kidney can be kept alive in a refrigerator for 1 to 2 days.
B) A dead kidney can be made to live after blood is reinfused into its blood vessels.

Death comes quickly in the mountains. Each winter holiday-makers are caught unconscious as they happily ski away from the fixed runs, little realizing that a small avalanche can send them crashing in a bone-breaking fall down the slope and leave them buried under tons of crisp white snow. …..
51. Each winter holiday makers in the mountains come face to face with death because ___ .
A. they fail to realize how dangerous avalanches can be
B. they are not expert enough at skiing on the fixed runs
C. they are trying to avoid areas where avalanches happen
D. they ski great distances down the mountainsides
The snow in the Salzburg of Austria, where a recent disaster took place, was typical avalanche material. …
52. According to the writer, skiing conditions in the Salzburg area of Austria before the accident happened were ___.
A. perfect for the inexperienced skier
B. unsafe because the new snow was covered with ice
C. typical of conditions resulting in avalanches
D. suitable only for skiing locally
…. Problems come when any particular section is too thick and not sticking to the section beneath. …. The result of these conditions is that even a slight increase in the temperatures sends a thin stream of water between the new snow and the old. Then the new snow simply slides off the mountain.
53. It would appear from the passage that avalanches are brought about because ___ .
A. a particular section of snow is not thick enough
B. there is a slight fall in the temperature
C. heavy snowfalls turn into rain
D. the ice between different sections of snow melts
Such slides are not unexpected. Local citizens know the slopes which tend to avalanche and the weather in which such slides are likely. Traps are set to catch the snow or prevent it slipping; bombs are placed and exploded from time to time to set off small avalanches before a big one has time to build up; and above all, skiers are warned not to ski in danger areas.
54. In areas where avalanches are known to happen ___ . (推理题)
A. local residents stay indoors when the weather is bad
B. measures are taken to prevent serious avalanches
C. small avalanches can easily be prevented
D. skiers form themselves into a wall to keep the snow in position
In spite of this, avalanches happen in unexpected areas and, of course, skiers ignore the warnings. The one comfort to recreational skiers, however, is that avalanche incidents on the marked ski slopes are quite rare. No ski resort wants the image of being a death trap.
55. Although accidents do happen, skiers will be reasonably safe if ___. (推理题)
A. they stay on the officially approved slopes
B. they ski only for pleasure
C. they ski only at resorts
D. they choose less crowded ski slopes
