听力原文： Lions prefer to eat without having to do much work. When resting in the shade, they are also watching the sky. And if they see birds fly down, they immediately sense that something must be happening. Even in the heat of the day, they will certainly arise and run a mile across the plains to find out what is going on. If another animal has made a kill, they will drive it off and take the dead animal for themselves. A grown lion can easily consume 60 pounds of meat at a single feeding. Often, they eat until it seems painful for them to lie down. The female lions are leaner and swifter, and as a result, are better hunters than the males. Most kills are made at night or just before dawn. The kill is the most exciting moment in the day-to-day existence of the lions, since these great beasts spend most of their time—bout 20 hours a day—sleeping and resting. Lions are also social cats. And during these times of leisure, they love to tease against each other, and the young lions are always playing among themselves and with their parents.

A．They are not active hunters.

B．They don't sleep much.

C．They are often seen alone.

D．They don't eat much.

听力原文： Hi, there. Let me make a brief introduction of the brain first.

The brain tells the other parts of the body what to do. We think with our brain. We understand the world around us with our brain. However, doctors don't know much about how the brain works. Doctors can do many things with other parts of the body.

They can give a person a new heart. They can put an arm back on 'after it has been cut off. It is easy to study some parts of the body. However, it is difficult to know how the brain works. It is most difficult to work on a brain. If the brain is without enough blood for three to five minutes, the brain dies. So when doctors work on the brain, they only have three to five minutes to do their work] Doctors try new things on the brain, but they must be very careful. The brain is the center of those things that make us what we are.

Which of the following can't doctors do？

A．They can give a person a new heart.

B．They can give a person a new brain.

C．They can put an arm back on after it has been cut off.

听力原文： Do you find yourself feeling fired all the time although you get enough sleep？ Then maybe this is for you. When you're feeling weak and fired, the worst thing to do is to take a nap. It won't restore your stamina. On the contrary, what happens then is your body loses even more energy than it had before, making you even sleepier.

You may also have these poor habits that worsen the problems. Do you stay in the same small area without getting up to move around？ Does your job require that you sit dawn the whole day in front of a computer？ Any or all of these reasons might be the cause of your energy loss, keeping your energy level low.

What should you do, then, at those moments when you feel so tired even though you've got enough sleep？ A cup of coffee won't help much either, as it is easy to get addicted to the caffeine. The best and most natural thing to do is to take a brisk walk. Doctors recommend the activity because it will increase the heart rate. This increased heart rate will lead to several hours of alertness. Moreover, a regular exercise routine can make your fatigue problems disappear forever.

(26)

A．Your heart rate increases.

B．You become even more tired.

C．You solve the fatigue problem.

D．You'll get hungry.
