15、d the theory during tests aboard the spaceship yesterday. His discovery is connected with the workings of the inner ear, the bodys balance mechanism (机制). In 1914 Professor Robert Barany won the Nobel prize for Physiology (生理学) and medicine when he announced that temperature differences affected the

16、 inner ear and caused the eyes to blink (眨 眼). His theory was accepted by scientists.But Merbold carried out tests to find if the theory was correct and shocked himself and soace officials when he proved it wrong. According to Baranys theory the eyes would blink when cold air was blown into one ear

17、and hot air blown into the other.But if this theory was correct such a movement would be impossible in zero gravity. Both Merbolds eyes continually blinked when the test was carried out.20 Tests were carried out in outer space in order to_.（A）find what causes the eyes to blink（B） shock the world（C）

19、）in strong wind22 Scratchy throats, stuffy noses and body aches all spell misery, but being able to tell if the cause is a cold or flu may make a difference in how long the misery lasts.The American Lung Association (ALA) has issued new guidelines on combating colds and the flu, and one of the keys

20、is being able to quickly tell the two apart. Thats because the prescription drugs available for the flu need to be taken soon after the illness sets in. As for colds, the sooner a person starts taking over-the-counter remedy, the sooner relief will come.The common cold and the flu are both caused by

21、 viruses. More than 200 viruses can cause cold symptoms, while the flu is caused by three viruses flu A, B and C. There is no cure for either illness, but the flu can be prevented by the flu vaccine, which is, for most people, the best way to fight the flu, according to the ALA.But if the flu does s

22、trike, quick action can help. Although the flu and common cold have many similarities, there are some obvious signs to look for.Cold symptoms such as stuffy nose, runny nose and scratchy throat typically develop gradually, and adults and teens often do not get a fever. On the other hand, fever is on

23、e of the characteristic features of the flu for all ages. And in general, flu symptoms including fever and chills, sore throat and body aches come on suddenly and are more severe than cold symptoms.The ALA notes that it may be particularly difficult to tell when infants and preschool age children ha

24、ve the flu. It advises parents to call the doctor if their small children have flu-like symptoms.Both cold and flu symptoms can be eased with over-the-counter medications as well. However, children and teens with a cold or flu should not take aspirin for pain relief because of the risk of Reye syndr

25、ome a rare but serious condition of the liver and central nervous system.There is, of course, no vaccine for the common cold. But frequent hand washing and avoiding close contact with people who have colds can reduce the likelihood of catching one.23 According to the author, knowing the cause of the

26、 misery will help_.（A）shorten the duration of the illness（B） the patient buy- medicine over the counter（C） the patient obtain cheaper prescription drugs（D）prevent people from catching colds and the flu24 We learn from the passage that_.（A）one doesnt need to take any medicine if he has a cold or the

30、ple running a fever27 Recently, in the hope of earning both money and social experience, I became a door-to-door salesman. I once read a saying: “If somebody wants something of yours, you will be treated as warmly as spring, but if they dont you may be treated as coldly as winter.“ You may consider

31、this an exaggeration, but if you are a salesman, it is clearly correct.You would never have found it to be so true if you hadnt been a salesman. You neednt stand doubtful looks and unfriendly comments; you neednt listen to something completely wrong and rod to say that it was quite right; you neednt

32、 always keep patience and a smile; you neednt repeat the same sentences over again; you neednt talk to somebody you dislike.I did this work for a month; then I decided to give it up. Apart from the above reasons, I found I was paying too much attention to the job and thus sacrificing my study time.

33、The latest test result proved that my grades were getting lower. Even worse, I hadnt enough time to join my classmates in college activities. Sometimes I felt lonely and unhappy because of both my study and my part-time job. Now I dont think it is worth doing such a thing even though I was earning m

34、oney at great cost.Newspapers and magazines often publish stories about good students who do part-time work and keep high scores in class. But according to my experience, part-time work can have some strong bad effects on study.Most students dont see the relationship between study and work in a corr

35、ect way. In my opinion, if it isnt a must for financial reasons, students should be cautious about taking up a part-time job. In western countries even the children of very rich families take part in hard jobs during the summer vacation.28 What caused the writer to give up his part-time job?（A）Too m

36、uch attention to it and his grades getting lower.（B） He often missed some college activities.（C） Sometimes he felt tired and unhappy.（D）All the above.29 Which of the following words has the closest meaning to the underlined word “sacrificing“ (line 2, para. 3)?（A）Losing.（B） Wasting.（C） Using.（D）Gett

38、 want to get study experience.（C） Those in great need of money.（D）Those from very rich families.31 Every artist knows in his heart that he is saying something to the public. Not only does he want to say it well, but he wants it to be something which has not been said before. He hopes that the public

39、 will listen and understand he wants to teach them, and he wants them to learn from him.What visual artists like painters want to teach is easy to make out but difficult to explain. Because painters translate their experiences into shapes and colors, not words. They seem to feel that a certain selec

40、tion of shapes and colors, out of the countless billions possible, is exceptionally interesting for them and worth showing to us. Without their work we should never have noticed these particular shapes and colors, or have felt the delight which they brought to the artist.Most artists take their shap

41、es and colors from the world of nature and from human bodies in motion and rest; their choices indicate that these aspects of the world are worth looking at, that they contain beautiful sights. Contemporary artists might say that they merely choose subjects that provide interesting pattern, and that

42、 there is nothing more in it. Yet even they do not choose entirely without reference to the character of their subjects.If one painter chooses to paint an ugly leg and another a lake in moonlight, each of them is directing our attention to a certain aspect of the world. Each painter is telling us so

43、mething, showing us something, emphasizing something all of which means that, consciously or unconsciously, he is trying to teach us.32 An artist hopes that the public will_.（A）understand him and learn from him（B） notice only shapes and colors in his work（C） teach him something interesting（D）believe
