Now experts hope to develop methods of putting humans into a similar state which could help astronauts survive long missions and lead to new ways of treating severely ill patients. While many studies have examined hibernation in mice and hedgehogs, little research has been done into the same condition in larger mammals such as bears. But new research conducted at the Institute of Arctic Biology at the University of Alaska monitored the animals' body temperature, heart rate and muscle movements while they slept. The research results showed that during a five­month hibernation the bears' body temperatures varied between 30℃ and 36℃ in cycles that lasted between two and seven days—a pattern that was previously unknown in hibernating animals. The research project leader said，“If our research could help by showing how to reduce metabolic (新陈代谢的) rates and oxygen demands in human tissues, one could possibly save severely ill patients. We simply need to know how to turn things on and off to take advantage of the different levels of hibernations.” Craig Heller, of Stanford University, who contributed to the study, added, “There has always been a thought that, if there is ever long­distance space travel, it would be good to be able to put people into a state of lower metabolism or a state of hibernation. That's almost science fiction but you can see the logical basis.” 文章大意：本文是一篇说明文，主要介绍了专家希望将阿拉斯加黑熊冬眠的方法运用到人类身上来帮助宇航员延长在太空的使命以及治疗重症病人。 1．We know from the text that ________.

Ⅵ.书面表达 (2016·安徽省六校教育研究会2月联考) 手机和我们的生活越来越密切，让我们的联系变得更加方便，可有人认为手机并不利于真正的交流。校报英文版正在开展征文活动，发起对这一话题的讨论，你认为手机对人与人之间沟通的影响是利大于弊还是弊大于利？请你以“Mobile phones, good or bad for communication？”为题写篇短文向校报投稿，表达你的看法。 注意：1. 词数120左右；2. 短文题目已拟好，不计入总词数；3. 文中不可出现与本人相关的信息。 Mobile phones, good or bad for communication? ________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 答案： One possible version Mobile phones, good or bad for communication? The technology of mobile phones has made many things easier for people. Someone can reach us or we can call someone wherever we are. However, people are unaware of the negative effects of mobile phones on communication. Due to the convenience of mobile phones, many people have started to engage in social interaction in person less than before. In addition, mobile phone communication lacks facial expressions and body language, without which communication becomes less personal. Consequently, some people get confused and nervous while talking to a person face to face because they mostly talk to people on mobile phones. They even do not know the manners of communication.

　　As far as I am concerned, we should use mobile phones in a wise way and try to avoid depending too much on them.
