Unit 1 Festivals around the world*閱讀理解。Everyone knows that 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 stopped functioning, but have not suffered permanent damage. The organism can still be saved. 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 prolong the period of clinical death so that the organism can remain alive before biological death occurs. The best method developed so far involves cooling the organism, bined with narcotic (麻醉) sleep. By slowing down the bodys metabolism (新陳代謝), cooling delays the processes leading to biological death.To show 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 taking blood out from an artery (動(dòng)脈). The monkeys 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 Ketas 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 (青霉素) 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. heisstillverymuchaliveB. hecannotavoidfinaldeathC. hismostimportantorgansaredamaged foreverD. he still has the possibility of getting back to life2.Scientists try to make the time of clinical death longer in order to _.A. cooltheorganismB. delaytheingofbiologicaldeathC. slowdownthebodysmetabolismD. bring vital cells and tissues back to active life3.The text mainly talks about _.A. clinical death and biological deathB.an experiment on a monkeyC. the meaning of deathD. the process before death4.From the underlined sentence in the last paragraph we can know that _.A.

Keta was crazy【文章大意】本文主要敘述了為了延緩生理死亡的到來(lái)，科學(xué)家盡量延長(zhǎng)臨床死亡的時(shí)間。1.D 【解析】細(xì)節(jié)理解題。由文章第一段內(nèi)容“Clinical death occurs when the vital organs, such as the heart or lungs, have stopped functioning, but have not suffered permanent damage. The organism can still be saved”可知，一個(gè)臨床死亡的人還有可能活過(guò)來(lái)，故選D。3.A 【解析】主旨大意題。文章第一段提出了人類死亡的兩個(gè)階段：臨床死亡和生理死亡；第二段提出科學(xué)家們想辦法延長(zhǎng)臨床死亡；第三段通過(guò)用猴子做實(shí)驗(yàn)來(lái)驗(yàn)證延長(zhǎng)臨床死亡的方法，故本文主要論述了臨床死亡和生理死亡，選A項(xiàng)。4.B 【解析】推理判斷題。結(jié)合文章最后一句“Her behavior differed little from that of a healthy animal.”（她的行為無(wú)異于健康動(dòng)物的行為），可推知?jiǎng)澗€部分句子說(shuō)明Keta是健康的，故選B項(xiàng)。*語(yǔ)法填空。Located in the northwest of Hunan Province, about 300 kilometers away from Changsha, capital of Hunan, Zhangjiajie, _1_covers a total area of 9,653 square kilometers, is a tourist city for its unique natural scenery and abundant tourism resources.

篇章導(dǎo)讀：本文是一篇說(shuō)明文。全文介紹了湖南省張家界的地理位置、榮譽(yù)稱號(hào)、旅游業(yè)的發(fā)展等情況。1which考查定語(yǔ)從句的引導(dǎo)詞。分析句子結(jié)構(gòu)可知，空處引導(dǎo)非限制性定語(yǔ)從句，先行詞為Zhangjiajie，關(guān)系詞在從句中作主語(yǔ)，故用which。2was awarded考查動(dòng)詞的時(shí)態(tài)和語(yǔ)態(tài)。主語(yǔ)Zhangjiajie和動(dòng)詞award之間是被動(dòng)關(guān)系，應(yīng)用被動(dòng)語(yǔ)態(tài)；根據(jù)該句中的時(shí)間狀語(yǔ)“in 2004”可知，應(yīng)用一般過(guò)去時(shí)。3Actually考查詞性轉(zhuǎn)換?？仗幮揎椪麄€(gè)句子，故用副詞形式。4an考查冠詞。根據(jù)語(yǔ)境可知，該處泛指“一幅放大的盆栽風(fēng)景畫”，空后的enlarged的發(fā)音以元音音素開頭，故用不定冠詞an。5at考查介詞。這里指“吸引了國(guó)內(nèi)外的大量游客”，at home and abroad為固定短語(yǔ)，意為“在國(guó)內(nèi)外”，故用at。6has bee考查動(dòng)詞的時(shí)態(tài)。根據(jù)該句中的時(shí)間狀語(yǔ)“Since it was . 1980s”可知，空處表示過(guò)去的動(dòng)作對(duì)現(xiàn)在產(chǎn)生的影響，故用現(xiàn)在完成時(shí)。7related考查非謂語(yǔ)動(dòng)詞。be related to為固定搭配，此句中，動(dòng)詞relate和名詞industries之間存在邏輯上的動(dòng)賓關(guān)系，故用過(guò)去分詞短語(yǔ)作名詞的后置定語(yǔ)。8its考查代詞。根據(jù)該句中的“magnificent natural scenery”可知，應(yīng)用形容詞性物主代詞its，指張家界的。9activities考查名詞復(fù)數(shù)。張家界景點(diǎn)的旅游活動(dòng)有多種，故用復(fù)數(shù)形式。10what考查賓語(yǔ)從句的連接詞。分析該句結(jié)構(gòu)可知，空處引導(dǎo)賓語(yǔ)從句，作介詞by的賓語(yǔ)，且空處在從句中作主語(yǔ)，表示“的事物”，故用what。*完形填空。When
