25、regular use of text messages and e-mails can lower the IQ more than twice as much as smoking marijuana (大麻). That is the statement of researchers who have found that _41_ away on a mobile phone or computer keypad or checking for electronic messages temporarily knocks up to 10 points off the users IQ
26、. This rate of decline in intelligence compares _42_ with the four-point drop in IQ associated with smoking marijuana, according to British researchers, who have described the phenomenon of _43_ stupidity as “infomania(咨询强迫症)”. The research conducted by Hewlett Packard, the technology company, has c
27、oncluded that it is mainly a problem for adult workers, especially men. It is concluded that too much use of modern technology can damage a persons mind. It can cause a _44_ distraction of “always on” technology when employees should be concentrating on what they are paid to do. Infomania means that
28、 they lose concentration as their minds remain fixed in an almost permanent state of _45_ to react to technology instead of focusing on the task in hand. The report also added that, in a long term, the brain will be _46_ shaped by what we do to it and by the experience of daily life. At a microcellu
29、lar level, the _47_ networks of nerve cells that make up parts of the brain actually change in response to certain experiences. Too much use of modern technology can be damaging not only to a persons mind, but to their social relationship. 1100 adults were interviewed during the research. More than
30、62 per cent of them admitted that they were _48_ to checking their e-mails and text messages so often that they examined work-related ones carefully even when at home or on holiday. Half said that they always 5 responded immediately to an email and will even interrupt a meeting to do so. It is concl
31、uded that infomania is increasing stress and _49_ and affecting ones characteristics. Nine out of ten thought that colleagues who answered e-mails or messages during a face-to-face meeting were extremely rude. The effects on IQ were studied by Dr Glenn Wilson, a psychologist at University of London.
32、 “This is a very real and widespread phenomenon,” he said. “We have found that infomania will damage a workers performance by reducing their mental _50_ and changing their social life. Companies should encourage a more balanced and appropriate way of working.”III. Reading ComprehensionSection ADirec

Fill in each blank with the word or phrase that best fits the context.Sometimes when you take a common drug, you may have a side effect. That is, the drug may cause some effect other than its _51_ on

35、 is serious, consult your doctor for advice at once.Drugs that are _54_ in the dosage(剂量) stated on the label may be dangerous in large doses. As for aspirin, it is _55_ thought of as dangerous, but there are many reports of accidental poisoning of young children who swallow too many for their young
36、 bodies to handle. In adults, _56_ use of some pain-killing drugs may cause severe kidney damage. Some drugs for relief of stomach upsets, when taken in excess, can cause an upset in the bodys secretion of enzymes(酶的分泌 ), perhaps bringing about serious digestive problems. You should never use any ov
37、er-the-counter drug on a regular, continued _57_, or in large quantities, except on your doctors advice. You could be suffering from a serious illness that needs a doctors care.Each drug you take not only acts on the body but may also _58_ the effect of any other drug you are taking. Sometimes, the
38、consequences of this change can lead to dangerous or even fatal reactions. _59_, aspirin increases the blood-thinning effect of drugs given to patients with heart disease. _60_, a patient who has been taking such a drug may_61_ hemorrhage(出血) if he uses aspirin every time he gets a headache.

39、 comes to _62_ certain drugs can safely be used together, you should ask your doctor and follow his advice. Alcohol may increase the effect of a drug.

44、ur choices marked A, B, C and D. Choose the one that fits best according to the information given in the passage you have just read.(A)Anthropology sophomore Van Truong recently combined art and biology to excel at her final exam in December. While most of her college mates used lists and flashcards
45、 to memorize stuff, Van used a whiteboard to write out all her notes in the form of Starry Night, Van Goghs famous masterpiece.“I knew I had to study for this exam, and I knew Id be writing on this whiteboard for hours,” she said. “So I thought, Wouldnt it be funny if I did it in a form where people
46、 didnt know how to feel about it?”So when she got to Smathers Library on the University of Floridas Gainesville campus, she started to write down all her notes with the words forming a replica（复制品） of Van Goghs iconic painting. Three hours later, the masterpiece was complete.Truong said that the spe
47、cial technique helped her keep awake during the tiring study session, and actually learn more than she normally would have. “I knew if I had to read through a packet of notes, Id fall asleep,” she admitted. “I dont know if I would have lasted three hours just going through notes. I can explain chron
48、ologically the order of where I placed each word on that Starry Night replica better than a sequence of events in evolutionary history.” 7 And the reason she chose Starry Night was because of its composition. She realized that a painting of a person might look disjointed if made out of words. But she could easily make the sentences look like Van Goghs beautiful, wavy brush
