While the trip sounds exciting, it would take years and years to reach your destination. So in the future, bedtime for astronauts may be more than a few hours of regular shut eyes. They would have to sleep for years. European researchers are now conducting hibernation experiments. The study may help them understand whether humans could ever sleep through the years it would take for a spaceflight to distant planets. If there was an effective technology, it could make deep space travel a reality, said Mark Ayre of the European Space Agency last month. What seems like a science fiction is not pletely unlikely. Researchers have been able to use chemicals to put living cells into a sleeplike state where they dont age. They have now moved on to the small, non-hibernating mammals like rats. A major challenge is the fact that cells can be very simple systems, whereas body organs are far more plex. Its like moving from a simple Apple puter to a superputer, said Marco Biggiogera, a hibernation researcher at Italys University of Pavia. Just like bears and frogs, the hibernation of human beings would cause a persons metabolism (新陈代谢) to be a lower level so they would need less energy. Medical research, however, is just half of a spaceflight hibernation system. There is a challenge of designing a suitable protective shelter. Such a shelter would provide the proper environment for hibernation, such as the proper temperature. It would also have to monitor life functions and serve the physiological needs of the hibernator. According to Ayre, the Human Outer Planets Exploration Mission to Jupiters moon (木星的卫星) Callisto, could be an opportunity to use human hibernation. The mission aims to send six persons on a five-year-flight to Callisto, where they will spend 30 days, in 2045. 29. According to the article, the hibernation research _.A. has made some progress B. is carried out in the U.S.A.C. will put into practice in 2045 D. gets the idea from a science fiction30. According to the article, what can be concluded from Marcos parison?A. Cells in different body organs work in the same way.B. What works in cells may be quite difficult for the organs.C. The hibernation of humans can help save human beings energy.D. The deep space travel may be possible if hibernation research is successful.31. What is the best title of the article?A. Hibernation and Long Life in Space B. Wele to the Milky WayC. To hibernate, to live longer D. Hibernation study for space travelDPhantom vibrations-the phenomenon where you think your phone is vibrating but its not-have been around since the mobile age. Today, theyre so mon that researchers have devoted studies to them. For Valerie Kusler, who works on a cattle farm, the feeling is plicated by the cows. “The cows moo is very muffled, it kinda sounds likeerrrr,” she says.“So thats very similar to what my phone sounds like when it vibrates on my desk or in my purse.” Other people may not confuse cows for their phones, but research shows phantom vibration symptom is a near-universal experience for people with smartphones. Nearly 90 percent of college undergraduates in a xx study said they felt phantom vibrations. The number was just as high for a survey of hospital workers, who reported feeling phantom vibrations on either a weekly or monthly basis “Something in your brain is being triggered（触发）thats different than what was triggered just a few short years ago,” says Dr Larry Rosen, a research psychologist who studies how technology affects our minds. “If youd asked me 10 years ago, or maybe even five years ago if I felt an itch beneath where my pocket of my jeans was, and asked me what I would do, Id reach down and scratch it because it was probably a little itch caused by the neurons firing（神经元刺激）,” he says. Now, of course, the itch triggers him to reach for his phone. Rosen says its an example of how our devices are changing how our brains process information “were seeing a lot of what looks like obsessive behavior. People who are constantly picking up their phone look like they have an obsession. They dont look much different from someone whos constantly washing their hands. Im not saying that it is an obsession, but Im saying that it could turn into one, very easily,” Rosen says. While 9 out of 10 participants in the study of college students said the vibration feeling bothered them only a little or not at all, Rosen still remends backing away from our phones every once in a while to keep our anxiety levels down. “One of the things Im really adamant about in spite of being very pro-technology, is just away from the technology for short periods,” Rosen says. “And by short periods. I mean, maybe just 30 minutes or an hour”. 32. According to the article, phantom vibrations_.A. are mainly caused by neurons firing B. affect people mostly working on farmsC. started troubling people in recent years D. help our brains better process information33. The underlined word adamant in the last paragraph probably means_.A. determined B. curious C. satisfied D. cautious34. It can be concluded from Larry Rosens research that_.A. phantom vibrations could probably result in obsessive behaviorB. the use of smart phones has pletely changed the way our minds workC. most people feel unfortable when they experience phantom vibrationsD. hospital workers are more likely to suffer from phantom vibrations than students35. According to Larry Rosen, the most effective measure against phantom vibrations is to_.A. move to a quieter neighborhood B. stop using smartphones in poor conditionC. keep a close watch on your anxiety levels D. take a break from using smartphones occasionally第二节（共5小题；每小题2分，满分10分）根据短文内容，从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。Ways to Be More Aware of Your EmotionsEmotional awareness es more easily to some people than others.
