IThere is one foreign product the Japanese are buying faster than others, and its popularity has caused an uneasy feeling among many Japanese. That product is foreign words. Gairaigowords that come from outsidehave been part of the Japanese language for centuries. Mostly borrowed from English and Chinese, these terms are often changed into forms no longer understood by native speakers. But in the last few years the trickle (涓涓细流) of foreign words has become a flood, and people fear the increasing use of foreign words is making it hard for the Japanese to understand each other and could lead to many people forgetting the good qualities of traditional Japanese. The popularity of foreign words is part of the Japanese interest in anything new, says university lecturer and writer Takashi Saito. By using a foreign word you can make a subject seem new, which makes it easier for the media to pick up. Experts often study abroad and use English terms when they speak with people in their own fields. Those terms are then included in government white papers, said Muturo Kai, president of the National Language Research Institute. Foreign words find their way easily into announcements made to the general public, when they should really be explained in Japanese. Against the flow of new words, many Japanese are turning back to the study of their own language. Saitos Japanese to Be Read Aloud is one of many language books that are now flying off booksellers shelves. We were expecting to sell the books to young people, said the writer, but it turns out they are more popular with the older generation, who seem uneasy about the future of Japanese.31. What advantages do foreign words have over traditional Japanese terms? A. The ideas expressed in foreign words sound new. B. Foreign words are best suited for announcements. C. Foreign words make new subjects easier to understand. D. The use of foreign words makes the media more popular. 32. In the opinion of Takashi Saito, Japanese people_ A. are good at learning foreign languages B. are willing to learn about new things C. trust the media D. respect experts 33. Which of the following plays an important part in the spread of foreign words? A. The media and government papers. B. Best-selling Japanese textbooks. C. The interest of young Japanese. D. Foreign products and experts. 34. The book Japanese to Be Read Aloud_. A. sells very well in Japan B. is supported by the government C. is questioned by the old generation D. causes misunderstanding among the readersIIBefore 1945, hardly anyone outside of New Mexico had ever heard of Alamogordo. In 1960 its population numbered 21, 723.Ever since 1898, when the town had been built by the Southern Pacific Railroad, Alamogordo had been a lonely town. The land around it was largely desert, and largely empty. Because it was isolated ( 隔离旳) and because the weather was almost always clear and peaceful, a spot of desert near Alamogordo was chosen as the test site for the first atomic bomb ever exploded. The secret name of the test was Zero. At dawn on July 16, 1945, the atomic bomb was set off. Observers agreed that they had witnessed something unlike anything ever seen by man before, a huge, colorful fireball, more brilliant than the sun, flashing as it rose for miles into the air. Never before had man released so much power at one time, nor had any nation ever possessed a weapon as terrible and destructive as the atomic bomb. For several weeks, the test was kept secret. When an atomic bomb was dropped from an American plane on Hiroshima, Japan, newspapers and radio stations all over America told of the test of the bomb in New Mexico. Almost everybody was surprised to learn where the bomb had been made and tested; the deserts of the Southwest had hidden the secret well. When news of the atomic bomb and its destructiveness was announced, people all over the world wondered what other new weapons were being prepared in the New Mexico desert. Some people doubted that the secret of making atomic bombs could be kept from other countries. Some even doubted the wisdom of using so powerful a weapon. But no one doubted that a new kind of war had begun at Alamogordo, one summer morning in 1945. 35. What is the best topic of this passage? A. The secret of Alamogordo. B. A new kind of war. C. The destructive force of the first atomic bomb. D. The selection of the test site for the first atom bomb. 36. Which of the following is the main reason for choosing Alamogordo as the test site? A. It always had an enjoyable climate. B. It was connected to other cities by a railway. C. Its location would hide the secret well. D. It was situated in southwestern New Mexico. 37. When was the atomic bomb dropped on Hiroshima? A. As soon as the secret was let out. B. At dawn on July 16, 1945. C. Immediately after the test. D. Several weeks after the test. 38. After the first atomic bomb explosion, everyone agreed that_ A. it was wise to choose Alamogordo as the test site B. man had entered the age of nuclear war C. it was not wise to use such a powerful weapon D. it was not possible to keep the technology of making atomic bombs as a secretIIIThe coolest idea in stroke treatment is refrigeration. Yes, cold is hot. Many doctors believe they can reduce the lasting forever damage after a stroke by quickly dropping patient body temperatures for a day or two, basically storing their brains on ice. “Its like putting food in the refrigerator. It doesnt go bad. You slow down all the processes.” says Dr David Tong of Stanford University. The approach is new, but the understanding behind itthat cold protects the brain like a fridge keeps tomatoeshas been recognized for centuries. Everyone knows a story of a child who falls into an icy pond is fished out after 45 minutes and then is warmed up and is perfectly OK. The cold water stops biological processes that ordinarily would kill brain cells almost immediately. Performed occasionally in surgery, cooling the sick is still considered too risky and unpleasant and impractical for the 700, 000 strokes in the US each year. Instead, researchers put their faith in medicines. But that goal has been all too difficult to catch as dozens of supposedly brain-protecting drugs failed testing over that past ten years. Now, supported by fresh science and new technology, doctors are looking again at cold. They hope soon to prove it a workable and valuable first step for treating stroke victims. In theory, doctors say, cooling the head should slow or even stop the destruction of weak brain cells. Several experiments have indicated this might be the case. Currently the whole body must be cooled, using air-cooled blankets and sometimes packing in ice or rubbing with alcohol. Deep-cooling is already sometimes used to minimize (减到最低) damage during some surgery. It was also the way in the early days of open-heart surgery before the invention of the movement of blood machines that pump the blood while the heart is stopped. For these operations, doctors often took patients to such low temperatures that dangerous complications (并发症 ) occurred, such as irregular heartbeats and blood clotting. 39. The writer thinks that refrigeration in stroke treatment_. A. is a wonderful method B. will produce high temperature C. has been used for centuries D. is too simple to carry out 40. In the USA, cooling the sick in surgery_. A. is popular but risky for patients B. has been proved to be safer than brain-protecting drugs C. is .considered helpful for treating stroke patients D. is still considered dangerous and costs more money 41. From this passage we can conclude that_. A. doctors should treat all kinds of patients in an old way B. doctors should treat all kinds of patients in a strange way C. medical science is developing with other sciences D. medical treatment is based on theory 42. From the last part of this passage, we know that_. A. doctors cant operate on a patient if his body temperature is high B. doctors should try their best to reduce a patients temperature C. a patients body can work normally without the movement of his blood D. a patients body temperature cant be reduced too lowIVImagine going to your doctor with frequent headaches. Your doctor takes a prescription pad and writes a word on it. The word isnt “aspirin”, its “Mozart”. The idea isnt so far-fetched. Many kinds of music can stir the imagination and produce strong feeling. Scientists have found Mozarts music to be remarkable in its ability to calm its listeners. Many amazing cases have been known using Mozart as a healing(治愈旳) aid. For example,a tiny newly-born baby named Krissy, who weighed just 1.5 pounds at birth, was on total life support. Doctors thought she had little chance of survival. Her mother insisted on playing Mozart for Krissy, and thinks it saved her daughters life. Krissy lived, but she was very small for her age and slower than the average child. At the age of four, she showed an interest in music and her parents gave her violin lessons. To their astonishment, Krissy was able to play musical pieces from memory that were far beyond the ability of an average four-year-old. Playing music helped her improve in all areas of her life. And there are other stories. Officials in Washington State report that new arrivals from Asia learn English more quickly when they listen to Mozart. Even animals respond to Mozart. In France, cows listening to Mozart give more milk. Why Mozart, rather than Bach or the Beatles? Any kind of music can have an effect on some people. But Mozart has more balance. It isnt too fast or too show; its just right. Don Campbell, who wrote a book called The Mozart Effect, says, Its like food. A hot spicy meal will affect you differently than a sweet dessert. And while you might love these foods, they arent good for you to eat every day. You need simple, nutritious (营养旳 ) food on a steady basis. Thats the way Mozart is. Its like a nutritionally balanced meal that does good to your body. 43. Scientists find Mozarts music has a special effect on_ A. stirring peoples imagination B. curing certain illnesses C. increasing the growth of a newly-born baby D. calmin
