Everyone knows that death is natural, but do you have any idea of the process of dying? Modern scientists divide the process of dying into two periods—clinical or temporary death and biological death. Clinical death occurs when the important organs, such as the heart or lungs, have stopped to function, but have not suffered permanent damage. The organism (有机体) can still be revived. Biological death occurs when changes in the organism lead to the “breaking up” of important cells and tissues. Death is then unchangeable.

Scientists have been seeking a way to lengthen the period of clinical death so that the organism can remain alive before biological death occurs. The best method developed so far involves cooling of the organism, combined with narcotic (麻醉的) sleep. By slowing down the body’s metabolism (新陈代谢), cooling delays the processes leading to biological death.

To illustrate how this works, scientists performed an experiment on a six-year-old female monkey called Keta. The scientist put Keta to sleep with a narcotic. Then they surrounded her body with ice-bags and began checking her body temperature. When it had dropped to 28 degrees the scientists began draining blood from an artery (动脉). The monkey’s blood pressure decreased and an hour later both the heart and breathing stopped: clinical death set in. For twenty minutes Keta remained in this state. Her temperature dropped to 22 degrees. At this point the scientists pumped blood into an artery in the direction of the heart and started artificial breathing. After two minutes Keta’s heart became active once more. After fifteen minutes, spontaneous (自发的) breathing began, and after four hours Keta opened her eyes and lifted her head. After six hours, when the scientists tried to give her a penicillin injection, Keta seized the syringe (注射器) and ran with it around the room. It showed that Keta had nothing different from any other healthy animal.

1.For a person who suffers from the clinical death, _________.

A.he can’t avoid final death

B.he is still very much alive

C.his most important organs are damaged

D.he still has the possibility of getting back to life

2.Scientists try to make the time of clinical death longer in order to ________.

A.cool the organism

B.slow down the body’s metabolism

C.delay the coming of biological death

D.bring important cells and tissues back to active life

3.How did the scientists put Keta into clinical death?

A.By surrounding her body with ice-bags and draining her blood.

B.By lowing her blood pressure and stopping her heart from beating.

C.By putting her to sleep, lowering her temperature and draining her blood.

D.By draining her blood, lowering her blood pressure and stopping her breathing.

4.Which of the following indicates that Keta is a healthy animal after the experiment?

A.Her heart beat again.

B.She seized the syringe and ran away with it.

C.She regained her normal breath.

D.She opened her eyes and lifted her head.

A new study gives us the warning that about thirty percent of the world's people may not have enough water by the year 2025.

A private American organization called Population Action International did the new study. It says more than three-hundred-thirty-five-million people lack enough water now. The people live in twenty-eight countries. Most of the countries are in Africa or the Middle East.

P-A-I researcher Robert Engelman says by the year 2025, about three-thousand-million people may lack water. At least 18 more countries are expected to have severe water problems. The demand for water keeps increasing. Yet the amount of water on Earth stays the same.

Mr. Engelman says the population in countries that lack water is growing faster than in other parts of the world. He says population growth in these countries will continue to increase.

The report says lack of water in the future may result in several problems. It may increase health problems. Lack of water often means drinking waters not safe. Mr. Engelman says there are problems all over the world because of diseases, such as cholera, which are carried in water. Lack of water may also result in more international conflict. Countries may have to compete for water in the future. Some countries now get sixty percent of their fresh water from other countries. This is true of Egypt, the Netherlands, Cambodia, Syria, Sudan, and Iraq. And the report says lack of water would affect the ability of developing to improve their economies. This is because new industries often need a large amount of water when they are beginning.

The Population Action International study gives several solutions to the water problem. One way, it says, is to find ways to use water for more than one purpose. Another way is to teach people to be careful not to waste water. A third way is to use less water of agriculture.

The report also says long-term solutions to the water problem must include controls on population growth. It says countries cannot provide clean water unless they slow population growth by limiting the number of children people have.

1.__________ are expected to have severe water problems by the year 2025

A．No countries       B．18 countries       C．46 countries       D．28 countries

2.All the following are true except____________.

A．Lack of water may cause conflict between countries

B．Egypt now has enough fresh water

C．There are solutions to the water problem

D．New industries need a lot of water

3.It can be inferred that _____________.

A．There is connection between providing clean water and slowing population growth

B．Lack of water may also result from international conflict

C．The ability of developing has nothing to do with lack of water.

D．It is not known whether diseases have something to do with lack of water

4.What is the solution to the water problem for a long time?

A．Not to waste water.                      B．Less developing industries.

C．Less international conflict.                 D．Control the population

5.The best title of the passage would be __________.

A．World Conflict                          B．Diseases and Water

C．World Water Shortage                   D．Population and Water
