19、 too, US researchers reported on Tuesday.They found when people listened to their favorite music, their blood vessels (血管) dilated in much the same way as when they are laughing, or taking blood medications. We have a pretty impressive effect, said Dr Michael Miller, director of preventive cardiolog

20、y (心臟病學) at the University of Maryland Medical Center in Baltimore. Blood vessel diameter improved, he said. The vessel opened up pretty significantly. You can see the vessels opening up with other activities such as exercise. A similar effect is seen with drugs such as statins.When blood vessels op

21、en up more, blood flows more smoothly and is less likely to form the clots (凝塊) that cause heart attacks and strokes. We are not saying to stop your statins or not to exercise but rather to add this to an overall program of heart health, said Miller, who presented his findings to a meeting of the Am

22、erican Heart Association in New Orleans. Millers team tested 10 healthy, non-smoking men and women, who were told to bring their favorite music. They spent half an hour listening to the recordings and half an hour listening to music they said made them feel anxious while the researchers did ultrasou

23、nd tests designed to show blood vessel function.Compared to their normal baseline measurements, blood vessel diameter increased 26 percent on average when the volunteers heard their joyful music. Listening to music they disliked in most cases in this group heavy metal blood vessels narrowed by six p

24、ercent, Miller said. Miller said he came up with the idea after discovering that laughter caused blood to literally flow more smoothly. I asked myself what other things make us feel real good, besides calories from dark chocolate of course. Music came to mind. . It makes me feel really good, he said

25、. Most of the volunteers chose country music but Miller said the style is not so important rather than what pleases each individual.41.

28、title of the passage? A. Pleasant Music Cures B. Research into Blood Vessel C. Music and Heart Attack D. Music and Happiness B For several days I saw little of Mr. Rochester. In the morning he seemed very busy with business，and in the afternoon gentlemen from the neighborhood called and sometimes st

29、ayed to dine with him. When his foot was well enough, he rode out a great deal. During this time, all my knowledge of him was limited to occasional meetings about the house, when he would sometimes pass me coldly, and sometimes bow and smile. His changes of manner did not offend me, because I saw th

30、at I had nothing to do with the cause of them.One evening, several days later, I was invited to talk to Mr. Rochester after dinner. He was sitting in his armchair, and looked not quite so severe, and much less gloomy. There was a smile on his lips, and his eyes were bright, probably with wine. As I

31、was looking at him, he suddenly turned and asked me, “Do you think I am handsome, Miss Eyre?”The answer somehow slipped from my tongue before I realized it: “No, sir.” “Ah，you really are unusual! You are a quiet, serious little person, but you can be almost rude.” “Sir，Im sorry. I should have said t

32、hat beauty doesnt matter，or something like that.” “No，you shouldnt! I see，you criticize my appearance，and then you stab (刺) me in the back! You have honesty and feeling. There are not many girls like you. But perhaps I go too fast. Perhaps you have awful faults to counterbalance (抵消) your few good p

33、oints.”I thought to myself that he might have too. He seemed to read my mind，and said quickly，“Yes, youre right. I have plenty of faults. I went the wrong way when I was twenty-one，and have never found the right path again. I might have been very different. I might have been as good as you, and perh

34、aps wiser. I am not a bad man，take my word for it，but I have done wrong. It wasnt my character，but circumstances that were to blame. Why do I tell you all this? Because youre the sort of person people tell their problems and secrets to, because youre sympathetic and give them hope.”It seemed he had

35、quite a lot to talk to me. He didnt seem to like to finish the talk quickly，as was the case for the first time.“Dont be afraid of me, Miss. Eyre，”he continued. “You dont relax or laugh very much，perhaps because of the effect Lowood school has had on you. But in time you will be more natural with me，

36、and laugh，and speak freely. Youre like a bird in a cage. When you get out of the cage, youll fly very high. Good night.”46.

Miss Eyre was brave, polite and warm-hearted.CGiven Australias size and the fact that early settlements were far apart, Australian society

40、 is remarkably homogeneous (同種的). Its citizens are fundamentally prosperous（繁榮的） and the way of life in the major cities and towns is much the same however many miles divide them. It takes a sharp ear to identify regional accents.However, there is some difference in lifestyle between city dwellers a

41、nd the country people. Almost 90 per cent of the population lives in the fast-paced cities along the coast and has little more than a passing familiarity with the desert. The major cities preserve pockets of colonial heritage, but the overall impression is modern, with new buildings reflecting the c

42、ountrys youth. In contrast, the rural communities tend to be slow-moving and conservative. For many years, Australia was said to have “ridden on the sheeps back”, a reference to wool being the countrys main money-earner. However, the wool industry is no longer dominant. Much of Australias relatively

43、 sound economy is now achieved from natural coal and wheat, and by being the largest diamond producer in the world. Newer industries such as tourism and wine making are also increasingly important. Australians are generally friendly and relaxed, with a self-deprecating sense of humor. On the whole,

44、Australia is a society without hierarchies (等級制度), an attitude generally held to stem from its prisoner beginnings.Yet, contrary to widespread belief, very few Australians have true prisoner origins. Within only one generation of the arrival of the First Fleet in 1788, Australia had become a nation

45、of immigrants. Originally coming almost entirely from the British Isles, today one in three Australians comes from elsewhere. Australias liberal postwar immigration policies led to an influx of survivors from war-torn Europe, most notably Greeks, Italians, Poles and Germans.The emphasis has shifted

46、in recent years and today the majority of new immigrants are from Southeast Asia. Today Australia is a blend of nations and although some racism exists, it has generally been a successful experiment and the country is justifiably proud to have one of the most harmonious multicultural communities in

47、the world.51. What does the writer mean by saying “It takes a sharp ear to identify regional accents.” in the first paragraph?A. Australians speak Standard English with no local accents whatsoever.B. You have to practice a lot to learn to understand the different accents.C. The Australian regional a

48、ccents are very difficult to understand indeed.D. There is not much difference between the accents in different areas of Australia.52. Which of the following statements is TRUE according to the passage?A. Most Australians have ancestors who were prisoners.B. The Australian economy is dependent on sh

49、eep exports.C. The majority of people living in Australia come from Europe.D. The pace of life is different in the city and in the country.53. The underlined pronoun it in the final paragraph refers to “_”.A. community B. racism C. blend of Nations D. Southeast Asia54. We can infer from the passage

50、that _.A. there are no signs of Australias colonial past in its modern citiesB. Australias recent immigration policy encourages immigrants from Southeast AsiaC. immigrants from Southeast Asia have brought racial problemsD. “riding on sheeps back” resulted in slow development in rural communities55.
