结构分析:整个句子是一个并列复合句。why the percentage of people in Finland taking diet pills doubled between 2001 and 2005是个宾语从句,作谓语动词explains的宾语,在此从句中taking diet pills是现在分词短语作后置定语,而doubled才是从句真正的谓语。and连接另外一个分句。

细节理解题。由第一段最后一句But if we took blood from the brain of an Albert Einstein, it would show no fatigue toxins at the end of the day可知,像爱因斯坦这样的脑力劳动者工作一天,血液里可能不会检测到疲倦产物,所以人的大脑是有可能工作几个小时而不产生疲倦感的,故选项C正确;由第一段第四句If we took…from a day labor, we could…full of fatigue toxins可知,工人的血液里能找到疲惫的产物,排除选项A;因爱因斯坦是热爱自己的工作,有积极向上的心态,所以可能血液里检测不到疲倦的产物,但这并不代表着他做其他工作不累或者每天的工作状态都能很好,排除选项B;当脑力劳动者的情绪状态不好时,才会产生疲倦感,排除选项D。 A. Challenging mental work.
B. Unpleasant emotions. C. Endless tasks.
D. Physical labor. 2. According to the author, which of the following can make sitting workers tired? B

B. He doubts them. C. He argues against them.
D. He hesitates to accept them. 3. What’s the author’s attitude towards the scientists’ ideas? A
推理判断题。由最后一段的末句We get tired because our emotions produce nervousness in the body.可知,作者认为不好的情绪会使体内产生紧张感而使人劳累,可见作者是赞同科学家的想法的。 A. have some good food

to the amazement of sb. 让某人惊奇的是 a feeling of not being appreciated 一种不被欣赏的情绪 [复记强化] [难句理解] To the amazement of these scientists, they discovered that blood passing through the brain, when it is active, shows no fatigue at all! 结构分析:To the amazement of these scientists在句中作状语。to one’s +情感名词=to the+情感名词+of sb.是英语中的一个常用结构,意为“让某人……的是”。that blood passing through…shows no fatigue at all!是个宾语从句, 作谓语动词discovered的宾语;而when it is active是一个时间状语从句,在此作插入语,起到补充说明的作用。 汉语大意:让这些科学家惊异的是,他们发现,流经大脑的血液(当大脑还是积极的时候)没有变现出任何的疲劳。 * * * 林辉 * * 林辉 * * 林辉 * * 林辉 * * 林辉 * * 林辉
