Each passage is followed by several questions or unfinished statements. For each of them there are four choices marked A, B, C and D . Cho

24、ose the one that fits best according to the information given in the passage you have just read .(A)Tui Naand Y)ur Emotional HealthIn Traditional Chinese Medicine the body, mind and spirit cannot be divided and so the unique whole-body treatment in Tui Na can also be a useful treatment correcting an

25、y imbalances in the bodys energy before symptoms and disease can develop. It also works to restore emotional harmony as well as physical health. This is why after a Tui Na treatment many people feel good. Many people in China use Tui Na regularly to keep healthy and to deal with some specificillness

26、es.Tui Na is performed on the clothed body and the patient is either lying on a couch or sitting on a chair. Therapists using a variety of strokes or movements will control the intensity and direction of pressure in an exact way . The unique rolling movement in Tui Na is one of the most difficult st

27、rokes to learn and students have to practice sometimes for many months on a rice bag before they are allowed to practice on the human body .StressTui Na is of course very useful for treating stress .It distributes the energy around the whole body . It is believed that Tui Na moves the strong energy

28、in the tense muscles to the weaker areas, thus making a more balanced body . When your Qi ( energy in the body) flow is balanced you feel relaxed and comfortable . Tui Na is especially useful for stiff shoulders and tense neck muscles .EmotionsIn Traditional Chinese Medicine each major organ is link

29、ed to an emotion . By balancing the energy in the organ, the relevant emotion will be calmed . When your emotions are out of control, you would usually turn to your doctor or perhaps a psychotherapist. But perhaps some people would not like to be seeing a psychotherapist or feel nervous about discus

30、sing their problems with others. With Tui Na one does not need to tell the therapist anything one does not want to . The treatment of Tui Na can deal with the problem itself although if one does need to talk, then the safe space is there to do so An active dialogue between the therapist and the pati

31、ent will help to get a better effect.How the major organs rule your emotionsEach major organ - the heart, the stomach, the spleen, the liver, the bladder, the kidneys, the lungs, etc. is linked to a relevant emotion .The heart is linked to joy, excitement and sadness . If the heart is out of balance

32、, the patient may dream a lot at night and often forget something important in the day .The stomach and spleen are connected with too much thinking or worrying - over anxiety . When the stomach is out of balance there is often a lack of energy The patient often feels very tired and has no interest i

33、n doing anything at all .The liver and gall bladder are linked to anger . In Chinese Medicine the eyes are connected with the liver, and many people who suffer from anger often suffer from eye problems . The gall bladder rules decision-making and too much energy here can lead to rashness, while if t

34、here is too little it can bring about indecision . Where there is a history of depression, the therapist would look to the liver.The bladder and kidneys are linked to fear of all kinds, from simple anxieties and phobias to vague fears and worries.The lungs are connected with feelings of grief and sa

35、dness . When there is a history of grief, the therapist would look to the lungs .Tui Na is used in almost all the hospitals in China and very popular among Chinese people . It is a useful and valuable method of restoring Qi balance, when emotional and physical health is out of balance. Tui Na is one

36、 of the remaining secrets of Chinese Medicine .According to the passage, which statement is TRUE about Tui Na?Tui Na is a whole-body treatment and cant be divided into different parts .Tui Na can be used to balance the diseases before they can develop in the bodyTui Na can bring back not only physic

37、al health but also emotional health D. Tui Na only makes people feel good but do not actually cure disease .How can the emotion be calmed?By linking the organ to an emotion .By telling the therapist anything one does not want to .By discussing their problems with others .By balancing the energy in t

38、he relevant organ .When the stomach is out of balance,.the patient will have a stomachachethe patient will have a lot to worry aboutthe patient will have nothing to dothe patient will not feel like doing anything(B)Black BoxesAlthough they are called black boxes, aviation recorders are actuallypaint

39、ed orange. This distinct color, along with the strips of reflective tape attached to the recorders exteriors, helps investigators locate the black boxes following an accident . These are especially helpful when a plane lands in the water . There are two possible origins of the term black boxes;Some

40、believe it is because early recorders were painted black, while others think it refers to the charring that occurs in post-accident fires .In addition to the paint and reflective tape, black boxes are equipped with an underwater locator beacon (ULB ). If you look at the picture of a black box, you w

41、ill almost always see a small, cylindrical object attached to one end of the device . This cylinder (圓筒) is actually a beacon.If a plane crashes into the water, this beacon sends out an ultrasonic pulse that cannot be heard by human ears but is readily detectable by sonar and acoustical locating equ

42、ipment . There is a sensor on the side of the beacon that looks like a bulls eye . When water touches this sensor, it activates the beacon.The beacon sends out pulses at 37. 5 kilohertz (kHz) and can transmit sound as deep as 14,000 feet (4,267 m). Once the beacon begins pinging, it pings once per s

43、econd for 30 days. This beacon is powered by a battery . In rare instances, the beacon may get snapped off during a high-impact collision .In the United States, when investigators locate a black box, it is transported to the computer labs at the National Transportation Safety Board ( NTSB ). Special

44、 care is taken in transporting these devices in order to avoid any (further) damage to the recording medium . In the lab, investigators download the data from the recorders and attempt to recreate the events of the accident. This process can take weeks or months to complete . In the United States, b

45、lack-boxes manufacturers supply the NTSB with the readout systems and software needed to do a full analysis of the recorders stored data.A team of experts is usually brought in to interpret the recordings stored on a black box . This group typically includes a representative from the airline, a repr

46、esentative from the airplane manufacturer, an NTSB transportation-safety specialist and an NTSB air-safety investigator . This group may also include a language specialist from the Federal Bureau of Investigation and, if needed, an interpreter. This board attempts to interpret 30 minutes of words an

47、d sounds recorded by the black box . This can be a painstaking process and may take weeks to complete.The black box is an invaluable tool for any aircraft investigation . It is often the lone survivor of airplane accidents, and as such provides important clues to the cause that would be impossible t

48、o obtain any other way . As technology evolves, black boxes will continue to play a tremendous role in accident investigations .Which of the following is NOT TRUE according to the text?Aviation recorders are known as the black boxes .Some people believe that the black box got its name because it was

49、 painted black .Some people believe that the black box got its name because of its colour after the accident.It is only the distinct orange colour that helps investigators locate the black boxes after an accident.What can activate the underwater locating beacon ( ULB ) ?A . A bulls eye.B. Sonar.C. A

50、 sensor on the side of the beacon. D. Acoustical locating equipment .How many people are needed at least to interpret the recordings stored on a black box?A. Three.B.Four.C. Five.D. Six.Which word can best describe the process of interpreting recordings on a black box?A. Comfortable. B.Careful.C. Ex

51、citing. D. Suffering.(C)Another common type of reasoning is the search for causes and results . We want to know whether cigarettes really do cause lung cancer, what causes malnutrition, the decay of cities, or the decay of teeth. We are equally interested in effects: what is the effect of sulphur or

52、 lead in the atmosphere, of oil spills and raw sewage in rivers and the sea, of staying up late on the night before an examination?Causal reasoning may go from cause to effect or from effect to cause . Either way, we reason from what we know to what we want to find out . Sometimes we reason from an

53、effect to a cause and then on to another effect. Thus, if we reason that because the lights have gone out, the refrigerator wont work, we first relate the effect (lights out) to the cause (power off) and then relate that cause to another effect (refrigerator not working ). This kind of reasoning is

54、called, for short, effect to effect . It is quite common to reason through an extensive chain of causal relations . When the lights go out we might reason in the following causal chain: lights out power off refrigerator not working temperature will rise milk will sour . In other words, we diagnose a

55、 succession of effects from the power failure, each becoming the cause of the next .Causes are classified as necessary, sufficient, or contributory . A necessary cause is one which must be present for the effect to occur, as combustion (燃燒) is necessary to drive a gasoline engine. A sufficient cause

56、 is one which can produce an effect unaided, though there may be more than one sufficient cause; a dead battery is enough to keep a car from starting, but faulty spark plugs or an empty gas tank will have the same effect . A contributory cause is one which helps to produce an effect but cannot do so

57、 by itself, as running through a red light may help cause an accident, though other factors - pedestrians or other cars at the crossroads - must also be present.In establishing or refuting a causal relation it is usually necessary to show the process by which the alleged (聲稱的) cause produces the eff

58、ect. Such an explanation is called a causal process.What the author discussed in the previous section is most probably about .relationships between causes and resultsclassification of reasoningsome other common types of reasoningsome special type of reasoningAccording to the passage, to do the effec

59、t to effect reasoning is to reason .A. from cause to effectB. from effect to causeC. from effect to effect and on to cause D. from effect to cause and on to another effect 74. A necessary cause is.one without which it is impossible for the effect to occurone of the causes that can produce the effect

60、one that is enough to make the effect occurnone of them75. Your refrigerator is not working and you have found that the electric power has been cut off. The power failure is aA . necessary causeB. sufficient causeC. contributory causeD. none of themSection CDirections: Read the following text and ch
