31、ly some coconuts falling, very far away. The world reduced to the soft touch of cool grass along my naked back, and a sweet smell of rich soil and vegetation.

32、sh jungle air filling every corner of my body. Resting motionless, I could see the sun through my closed eyelids, alone in the sky, as lonely as I, and as motionless and silent as everything else. The earth had surely stopped turning and somewhere on this planet there was supposed to be noisy traffi
33、c in busy streets. What a crazy, unbelievable thought! Another coconut fell, to make the world come to a complete standstill. I had to roll over onto my stomach to feel that at least I could move and make noises. Then I found company(陪伴). A little brown ant was struggling (挣扎)to find its way with a
34、bit of dry straw (稻草) through the jungle of leaves and grass below my nose, I wondered if I could give the little fellow a lift with its burden (重负), but it showed not the slightest sign of tiredness and struggled on with all six legs, head first or head last, waving its feelers energetically as if
35、the trip had just started.Who ever saw a tired ant? Tiredness, disagreeable tiredness, is impossible to hunted animals, slaves and modern man.

40、 in the heart as well as in the head, according to a study that has found a link between the cycles of a beating heart and the chance of someone feeling fear. Tests on healthy volunteers found that they were more likely to feel a sense of fear at the moment when their hearts are contracting (收缩) and
41、 pumping blood around their bodies, compared with the point when the heartbeat is relaxed Scientists say the results suggest that the heart is able to influence how the brain reacts to a fearful event, depending on which point it is at in its regular cycle of contraction and relaxation. Sarah Garfin
42、kel at the Brighton and Sussex Medical School said “Our study shows for the first time that the way in which we deal with fear is different depending on when we see fearful pictures in relation to our heart.” The study tested 20 healthy volunteers on their reactions to fear as they were shown pictur
43、es of fearful faces. Dr Garfinkel said, “The study showed that fearful faces are better noticed when the heart is pumping than when it is relaxed. Therefore our hearts can also influence what web see and what we dont see-and guide whether we see fear.“ To further understand this relationship, the sc
44、ientists also used a brain scanner (扫描仪)to show how the brain influences the way the heart changes a persons feeling of fear. “We have found an important mechanism by which the heart and brain speak to each other to change our feelings and reduce fear,” Dr Garfinkel said. “We hope that by knowing mo
45、re about how fear is dealt with and ways that it could be reduced, we may be able to develop more successful treatments for anxiety (焦虑) disorders, and also for those who may be suffering from serious stress disorder.“ 10. What is the finding of the study? A. Ones heart influences how he feels fear.

A. Order. B. System. C. Machine. D. Treatment. 1
48、3. This study may contribute to_. A. treating anxiety and stress better B. explaining the cycle of fear and anxiety C. finding the key to the heartbrain communication D. understanding different fears in our hearts and heads 第第 II 卷卷(主观主观题题 共共 40 分分) 四四、词汇运用、词汇运用 (本大题共 8 小题，每小题 1 分，共 8 分) (A)根据句意和汉语注释，在答卷标有题号的横线上，写出单词的正确形式。 1.
