25、C or D. Mark your answers on ANSWER SHEET 1. 42 Scientists will be able to freeze dying people and revive them years later when a cure for their disease has been found opening the door to human immortality, predict excited experts. And their conclusions are not just pie in the sky. They are based on

26、 an astonishing experiment in which a dog was frozen for 15 minutes, then revived in perfect health! “The bottom line of experiments like this is the indefinite extension of human life ! “declared Dr. Paul Segall, who conducted the frozen dog experiment. “If youre about to die - you have an incurabl

27、e disease such as AIDS, or even extreme old age - we could freeze you and stop time for you until we can cure those diseases or reverse a condition like aging.“ “What were looking at is a gradual victory over death and aging and freezing someone and then bringing them back could be here within four

28、years !“ “Not only will freezing allow iii persons to survive until a cure for their disease if found, but it will also open up new possibilities for organ transplants, which will in mm allow people to live much longer perhaps indefinitely.“ “Right now, organs taken from a person whos recently died

29、must be transplanted to another person within a very short time, but with the new technology, body organs could be frozen for use whenever theyre needed.“ Doctors could freeze a patients body, then warm up just one diseased organ - a lung or a liver, for example. The person could be injected with ma

30、ssive doses (剂量 ) of drugs that would be toxic (有毒的 ) to the body if it werent frozen. “Older individuals will choose to enter freezing before death, with instructions not to be revived until a means to stop and even reverse aging is discovered.“ “Without a doubt, freezing has the potential to make

31、man immortal. And we should see our first freezing centers established within the next 10 years and probably sooner!“ 43 The word “immortality“ in the first paragraph most probably means _. （ A） long life span （ B） mortality （ C） death （ D） never-ending life 44 Which of the following is true of the

32、astonishing experiment? （ A） The experiment was conducted 15 minutes after a dog was frozen to death. （ B） The frozen dog experiment was conducted by Dr. Paul Segall. （ C） The dog was saved by the doctors working with Paul Segall. （ D） The experiment was designed for the extension of human life. 45

35、ologists tell us that we are heading for a society leisure. The trend is unmistakable. One hundred years ago, they point out, a worker put in twelve or thirteen hours a day, six days a week, and week followed week without an annual vacation. But over the years the picture has changed. Today the typi

36、cal work week has five eight-hour days, and workers enjoy about three week of paid vacation every year, with the result that today we spend less than as much time on the job as people did before. In spite of this, todays worker may not feel that he has a great deal of leisure time. This is because a

37、 lot of the non-work time is taken up with fulfilling family and social obligations. For example, he feels that he should spend some time with his children every day, and if a man does physical activity in his job, that too cuts into his free time. Nevertheless, the final result is that we do have m

38、ore leisure more time free from the obligation of work or any other social requirement. Leisure is time not used to earn money or to do things around the house which save money. It is time spent only in seeking satisfaction, and we give up what we are doing when it no longer satisfies us. Leisure gi

39、ves us the opportunity to recover from the physical and mental fatigue of work and it frees our creative talents from the pressure and the form placed on us by the job. Todays leisure is time programmed for doing what you want to. It does not have to be made up the next day. This is something new. I

40、t really frees a person from the workshop to enjoy, for a time, things in which he is interested. Man is about to go out to the playground. 48 People have _ today. （ A） more leisure （ B） less leisure （ C） more work （ D） less work 49 Although people spend less time on their jobs, they still feel they

41、 do not have enough leisure time because of the following except _. （ A） fulfilling family and social obligations （ B） spending some time with their children （ C） spending some time on learning （ D） doing physical exercises 50 Leisure is the time used _. （ A） to seek satisfaction （ B） to earn money

42、（ C） to fulfill the obligations （ D） to fulfill any social requirement 51 Whenever it is leisure time, people will _. （ A） find it difficult to decide what to do （ B） make a careful plan in what to do （ C） do anything they are interested in （ D） go to the playground 52 According to the passage, leis

43、ure is not the time to _. （ A） seek pleasure （ B） recover from the physical and mental fatigue of work （ C） make preparations for the work of the next period of time （ D） free ourselves from the pressure of the work 52 In California the regulators, the utilities and the governor all want the Federal

44、 Energy Regulatory Commission to cap spot (现货的 ) market prices. The Californians claim it will rein in outrageous prices. Federal regulators have refused. The battle is on. Governor Gray Davis says, “Im not happy with the Federal Regulatory Commission at all. Theyre living in an ivory tower. If thei

45、r bills were going up like the people in San Diego, they would know that this is a real problem in the real world.“ As part of deregulation, price caps were removed to allow for a free market. Timing is everything; natural gas prices had already skyrocketed. Demand was high from Californias booming

46、economy. No new power plants had been built here in ten years, and power producers had the right to hike prices along with demand. And hike them they did. Loretta Lynch of the Public Utilities Commission says, “This commission and all of California was beating down the door of federal regulators to

47、say, Help us impose reasonable price caps to help to keep our market stable. “ Federal regulators did ask for longer-term contracts between power producers and the utilities to stabilize prices. The federal commission, unavailable for comment on this story, released a recent statement defending its

48、position not to re-regulate. Federal Energy Regulatory Commission Dec. 15, 2000: “The commissions intention is to enable the markets to catch up the current supply and demand problems and not to reintroduce command and control regulation that has helped to produce the current crisis.“ Some energy ex

49、perts believe that, without temporary price caps, the crisis will continue. Severin Borenstein of the U. C. Energy Institute says, “Some federal regulators have a blind commitment to making the market work and I think part of the problem is they really dont understand whats going on.“ Gary Ackerman of the Western Power Trading Forum says, “Hes dead wrong about that. The federal regulators understand far bette
