2、f you get seasick easily, you may prepare for boat rides with pressure-point bracelets, ginger, or a prescription skin patch. 1The technique presumably works because it helps control gravity sensors in the abdomen - a lesser-known input to our fine-tuned balance system. 2The inner ears sense motions

3、 of the head; the eyes see where the head is; and tiny sensory organs in muscles and tendons sense where the rest of the body is. More recently, researchers have realized that sensors in many other parts of the body also play a role: in the abdomen, the lower organs, and even blood vessels. 3But if

4、one or two dont match up, the brain gets confused and we become nauseated. Scientists knew the most sickening motions closely match the rate of natural breathing; they also knew that people naturally tend to breathe in time with a motion. 4 Researchers from Imperial College London enlisted 26 volunt

5、eers to sit in a tilting, rocking flight simulator and coordinate their breathing in various ways with the motion. 5The natural tendency was for volunteers to inhale on every backward tilt, in rhythm with the rocking. 6They felt even better if they breathed slightly faster or slower than the cyclic

6、heaving of the chair; using that technique, the time until onset of nausea was 50% longer than during normal breathing. 7Abdominal sensors are known to send motion signals to the brain more slowly than those in the inner ear because theyre farther away from the brain and because abdominal organs hav

7、e more mass, which means they resist movement a tiny bit longer. 8But if the diaphragm opposes gravity-induced stomach motions with controlled breaths, there is less sensory conflict and less nausea. “This technique is very good for mild everyday challenges,“ says medical research scientist Michael

8、Gresty, a member of the study team. “Its completely safe, and its not a drug.“A. But if the subjects exhaled on every backward tilt, they didnt get sick as quickly.B. As long as all of these sensors send matching signals to the brain, we feel oriented.C. Now theres one more remedy: timing your breat

9、hing to counteract the nauseating motion.D. So why do these tactics work?E. The brain is traditionally thought to sense body position in three ways.F. The time lag between the two types of sensors creates a mismatch that builds up in the brain and makes us gradually sicker, the researchers say.G. Th

10、e tests lasted up to 30 minutes, or until subjects felt moderately sick.H. But no one had ever tested whether breathing out of time with a motion could prevent nausea.（分数：16.00）填空项 1:_填空项 1:_填空项 1:_填空项 1:_填空项 1:_填空项 1:_填空项 1:_填空项 1:_二、Part 2(总题数：2，分数：20.00)Read the following passage and answer quest

11、ions 9-18.1. When Christopher Columbus landed on Americas shores, he encountered copper-shinned people whom he promptly called “Indians“. Current estimates indicate that there were over a million Indians inhabiting North American then. There are approximately 800,000 Indians today, of whom about 250

12、, 000 live on reservations.2. The early settlers had an amicable relationship with Indians, who shared their knowledge about hunting, fishing, and farming with their uninvited guests. The stereotyped stealthy, wicked Indians of western movies are created by different faithless white men; the Indian

13、was born friendly.3. Disgust developed between the Indians and the settlers, whose encroachment on Indian lands provoked an era of turbulence. As early as 1745, Indian tribes joined together to drive the French off their land. The French and Indian war did not end until 1763. The Indian had succeede

14、d in destroying most of the settlements. The British, superficially submissive to the Indians, promised that further migrations west would not extend beyond a specified boundary.4. Vacated from their lands or, worse still, frankly giving their property to the whites for few baubles, Indians were rut

15、hlessly pushed west. The battle in 1876 at Little Horn river in Montana, in which setting Bull and the Sioux tribes massacred General Custers cavalry, caused the whites intensify their campaign against the Redman. The battle at Wound Knee, South Dakota, in 1890 put an end to the last vestige of hope

16、 for amity between Indians and whites.5. Although the Bureau of Indian affairs has operated since 1842, presumably for the purpose of guarding Indians “interests“, Indian on reservations lead notoriously deprived lives. In recent times Indians have taken a militant stand and appealed to the courts a

For questions 1925, choose the correct answer from A, B, C and D. Mark your answers on the Answer Sheet. It is nat

23、ural for young people to be critical of their parents at times and to blame them for the most of the misunderstandings between them. They have always complained, more or less justly, that their parents are out of touch with modern way; that they are possessive and dominant; that they dont trust thei

24、r children to deal with the crisis; that they talk too much about certain problems and that they have no sense of humor, at least in parent-child relationships. I think it is true that parent often underestimate their teenage children and also forget how they themselves felt when young. Young people

25、 often irritate their parent with their choices in clothes and hairstyles, in entertainers and music. This is not their motive. They feel cut off from adult world into which they have not yet been accepted. So they create a culture of society of their own. Then, it turns out that their music and ent

26、ertainers or vocabulary or clothes or hairstyles irritate their parents. This gives them additional enjoyment. They feel they are superior, at least in a small way, and they are leaders in style and taste. Sometimes you are resistant, and proud because you dont want your parents to approve what you

27、do. If they did approve, it looks as if you are betraying your own age group. But in that cases, you are assuming that you are an underdog: you cant win but at least you can keep your honor. There is a passive way of looking at things. It is natural enough after long years of childhood, when you are

28、 completely under your patents control. But it ignores the face that you are now beginning to be responsible for yourself. If you plan to control your life, cooperation can be part of that plan. You can charm others, especially your parents, into doing things the way you want. You can impress your p
