B Called the iBrain,this simplelooking contraption is part of an experiment that aims to allow Dr Hawking—long paralyzed by amyotrophic lateral sclerosis,or Lou Gehrig’s disease—to communicate by merely thinking.
C What we wear can affect not only what people think of us,but also the way our brains work,a study involving a doctor’s coat shows.
D Even after 20 years of studying in the country,Brian L.Fisher,an entomologist,was surprised by the ability of a cyclone to derail an expedition.
E A Canadian project aimed at creating a genetically engineered pig whose manure would be less harmful to the environment is being halted after failure to find a company willing to bring the animal to market,according to the lead researcher.
F Scientists have for the first time identified several gene mutations that they say sharply increase the chances of autism,and have found that the risk increases with the age of the parents,particularly the father.

以下是五个人的病症描述。请匹配各人的症状与拟选择的药品。1.For the past four days,John has been coughing very heavily when he goes to bed.As a result,both he and his wife cannot sleep and are very tired when they get up for work the next day.2.After coming back from Beijing,Li Hua has a bad cold and blocked nose.But he must go to work because he must give a very important presentation to his boss today.He needs something that will relieve his symptoms but not affect his performance.3.Mrs White’s sixyearold daughter Mellissa fell off her bike this morning and bumped her head on the ground.Now she has an unbearable headache and cannot go to school.4．While in the shower this morning,Phil slipped on a bar of soap and smashed his knee on the tiled bathroom floor.Luckily no bones were broken but Phil is now in a great deal of pain and the knee is badly swollen.5.Xiao Lin cut her finger while preparing dinner last night.Although she cleaned and bandaged the wound when she woke up this morning，the wound was redder and more painful than the night before.She fears that the cut may have become infected.D阅读下列记者采访加拿大运动鞋设计专家Benno Nigg时的问题及Nigg的回答，然后匹配相关的问题和答案。注意：选项中有一项是多余选项。A．What should people look out for when buying a new pair of sports shoes?B．What kind of technology might we see in sports shoes of the future?C．Will a more expensive shoe make me run faster or jump higher,as the ads suggest?D．When you say that expensive shoes are no better at preventing injury than cheap ones,is it true?E．Some people say we should run just as well without shoes.What’s your opinion of that?F．You helped develop the unstable Masai MBT shoes.Does this design actually work?1．________Nigg’s Answer:That is a little bit overstated.But the relative frequency of running injuries doesn’t seem to have changed much in the past 30 years,in spite of all the developments in sports shoe design.The literature shows that shoes are a minor player in injury development.If you take a group of people and want to injure them,send them out every day for a 20kilometre run.A lot of them will be injured in three weeks.The major factors are the distance run,the intensity and recovery time,not the shoes.2．________Nigg’s Answer:The problem is that if you go to a store and want to find your best shoes,you don’t know what to do.Things that are sometimes done,like video analysis of your rear foot movement,may not help.The only way to assess whether a shoe is right for you is how it feels.If you feel comfortable in a shoe,it’s likely to be good for you.We did a study with soldiers where we gave them six different inserts,and they chose the one they liked best.In four months,those with inserts had 53 per cent fewer injuries than those without.3．________Nigg’s Answer:A shoe may act as a training device,making some muscles function more effectively for a majority of users.Or it may use materials that last longer.That may have something to do with its price.However,for the average runner,it is difficult to distinguish between actual functional designs and unnecessary features.Generally,the more a shoe controls movement,the more it acts like a cast,which means you have some muscles that don’t work any more.This may mean that you lose some muscle strength,and your feet are more likely to be injured.4．________Nigg’s Answer：There are claims that there are fewer injuries when you run barefoot,but there is not yet enough evidence,or enough research,to prove that.If you look at performance,most papers suggest an advantage of 3 to 4 per cent.With a few exceptions—Abebe Bikila in 1960 and Zola Budd in the 1980s—people don’t run barefoot,so it may be that it’s not an advantage,or it may be that we’re just not used to it.5．________Nigg’s Answer:Yes,for about 80 per cent of people.The major benefits are training the small muscles crossing the ankle joint,and a reduction of knee and lower back pain.However,some claims for these unstable shoes are overstated,such as the general muscle strengthening that they are claimed to produce.专题限时训练(二十四)A 1—5BACDF B 1—5ECBFA C 1—5CEFAD D 1—5DACEF。
