(2013·辽宁卷)Here is an astonishing and significant fact：Mental work alone can't make us tired.It sounds absurd.But a few years ago，scientists tried to find out how long the human brain could labor without reaching a stage of fatigue(疲劳)．To the amazement of these scientists，they discovered that blood passing through the brain，when it is active，shows no fatigue at all！If we took a drop of blood from a day laborer，we would find it full of fatigue toxins (毒素)and fatigue products.But if we took blood from the brain of an Albert Einstein，it would show no fatigue toxins at the end of the day.
So far as the brain is concerned，it can work as well and swiftly at the end of eight or even twelve hours of effort as at the beginning.The brain is totally tireless.So what makes us tired?
Some scientists declare that most of our fatigue comes from our mental and emotional(情感的)attitudes.One of England's most outstanding scientists，J.A.Hadfield，says，“The greater part of the fatigue from which we suffer is of mental origin.In fact，fatigue of purely physical origin is rare.”Dr.Brill，a famous American scientist，goes even further.He declares，“One hundred percent of the fatigue of a sitting worker in good health is due to emotional problems.”
What kinds of emotions make sitting workers tired？Joy？Satisfaction？No！A feeling of being bored，anger，anxiety，tenseness，worry，a feeling of not being appreciated—those are the emotions that tire sitting workers.Hard work by itself seldom causes fatigue.We get tired because our emotions produce nervousness in the body.
[文章大意]本文是一篇说明文。有研究表明人的大脑不会疲劳。造成疲劳感的是人的情绪和情感，而不是大脑的反应。
1．What surprised the scientists a few years ago?
A．Fatigue toxins could hardly be found in a laborer's blood. B．Albert Einstein didn't feel worn out after a day's work. C．The brain could work for many hours without fatigue. D．A mental worker's blood was filled with fatigue toxins.
解析：细节理解题。根据第一段中的“But a few years ago，scientists tried to find out how long…”和后面的“To the amazement of these scientists…no fatigue at all”可知，许多年前，科学家们惊讶地发现人的大脑是不知疲倦的。
答案：C
2．According to the author，which of the following can make sitting workers tired? A．Challenging mental work. C．Endless tasks.
B．Unpleasant emotions. D．Physical labor.
解析：细节理解题。根据文章倒数第二段“...comes from our mental and emotional(情感的)attitudes”和该段最后的“due to emotional problems”可知，导致sitting workers疲劳的是情感问题。
答案：B
3．What's the author's attitude towards the scientists' ideas? A．He agrees with them. C．He argues against them.
B．He doubts them.
D．He hesitates to accept them.
解析：概括总结题。文章第一段“Here is an astonishing and significant fact”作者的态度是惊叹与赞同；最后一段“We get tired because our emotions produce nervousness in the body”因此断定作者的态度是赞同的。
答案：A
4．We can infer from the passage that in order to stay energetic，sitting workers need to________.
A．have some good food C．exercise regularly
B．enjoy their work D．discover fatigue toxins
解析：推理判断题。既然疲劳是人的情感因素所致，那么对sitting workers来说，保持良好的心情，培养对工作的热爱之情当然是保证他们精力充沛的灵丹妙药了。
答案：B

(2013·怀化期末) Ammie Reddick from East Kilbride，Lanarkshire，was only 18 months old when she had the accident that had scarred(留下创伤)her for life.The curious child reached up to grab the wire of a hot kettle in the family kitchen and poured boiling water over her tiny infant frame.
Her mother Ruby turned round and，seeing Ammie horribly burnt，called an ambulance which rushed her daughter to a nearby hospital.Twenty percent of Ammie's body had been burned and all of her burns were third－degree.There，using tissue taken from unburned areas of Ammie's body，doctors performed complex skin transplants to close
her wounds and control her injuries，an operation that took about six hours.Over the next 16 years，Ammie underwent 12 more operations to repair her body.
When she started school at Maxwehon Primary at age 4，other pupils made cruel comments or simply wouldn't play with her.“I was the only burned child in the street，the class and the school，”she recalled，“Some children refused to become friends because of that.”
Today，aged 17，Ammie can only ever remember being a burned person with scars；pain is a permanent part of her body.She still has to have two further skin transplants.Yet she is a confident，outgoing teenager who offers inspiration and hope to other young burns victims.
She is a member of the Scottish Burned Children's Club，a charity set up last year.This month，Ammie will be joining the younger children at the Graffham Water Center in Cambridgeshire for the charity's first summer camp.“I'll show them how to get rid of unkind stares from others，”she says.Ammie loves wearing fashionable sleeveless tops，and she plans to show the youngsters at the summer camp that they can too.“I do not go to great lengths to hide my burns scars，”she says，“I gave up wondering how other people would react years ago.”
[文章大意]Ammie Reddick严重烫伤，先后动了十几次手术，在伤痛、冷眼面前她依然自信，对未来充满希望。
5．How many operations has Ammie already had? A．Twelve. C．Fourteen.
B．Thirteen. D．Fifteen.
解析：推理判断题。根据第二段“Over the next 16 years.Ammie underwent 12 more operations to repair her body.”可知。Ammie Reddick动过一次手术之后，在随后的16年中又接受了12次手术，即一共接受了13次手术，故选B项。
答案：B
6．What did other children do when Ammie first went to school? A．They were friendly to her. C．They were afraid of her.
B．They showed sympathy to her. D．They looked down upon her.
解析：细节理解题。根据第三段“When she started school at Maxwehton Primary at age 4，other pupils made cruel comments or simply wouldn't play with her.”可知，她动了手术之后上学时其他孩子看不起她，故选D项。
答案：D
7．Ammie will teach the younger children at the Graffham Water Center to________.
A．face others' unkindness bravely C．live a normal life
B．hide their scars by proper dressing D．recover quickly
解析：细节理解题。根据最后一段“I'll show them how to get rid of unkind stares from others”可知Ammie Reddick将教育孩子们勇敢地面对他人的不友好，故选A项。
答案：A
8．Which of the following words can NOT properly describe Ammie? A．Courageous. C．Sensitive.
B．Confident. D．Outgoing.
解析：推理判断题。根据第四段“Yet she is a confident，outgoing teenager who offers inspiration and hope to other young burns victims.”可知她对自己的伤痛和来自他人的鄙视并不敏感，故选C项。
答案：C
9．What can be the best title of the passage? A．A Seriously Burned Girl Survives B．Ways to Get Rid of Unkind Stares C．Permanent Scars And Pain for a Girl D．A Seriously Burned Angel of Hope
解析：主旨大意题。Ammie Reddick严重烫伤，先后动了十几次手术，在伤痛、冷眼面前她依然自然，对未来充满希望，由此可推断文章最好的标题应该是D项，即严重烧伤的希望天使。
答案：D

[文章大意]本文讲述中国传统节日端午节的由来及其背后的故事。
