　　A．is sent

　　C．have been sent

　　D．are sent

　　答案　C　[考查主谓一致。句意：到目前为止，已有大量的粮食被送往非洲以拯救饥民。up to now通常与现在完成时连用；“large quantities of＋名词”作主语时，谓语动词往往用复数形式。]

　　10．Leonardo da Vinci (1452～1519)________birds kept in cages in order to have the pleasure of setting them free.

　　A．is said to be buying

　　B．is said to have bought

　　III. 阅读理解

　　Handling a wad of cash may be as good at killing pain than ibuprofen (布洛芬) or aspirin，a new study suggests.

　　Researchers at the University of Minnesota carried out a series of studies which showed those who counted money before taking part in an experiment where they were subjected to low levels of pain felt less discomfort than those who did not.

　　It’s thought that fondling notes and coins helps ward off pain by boosting feelings ofself­worth and self­sufficiency.

　　Previous studies have shown those with a greater sense of self­worth may be more likely to bear pain.Britain spends at least ￡500 million a year on over­the­counter painkilling pills and the figure is increasing every year.But scientists remain puzzled by why some people appear to feel pain more easily than others.In the latest study，a group of students were asked to count out a wad of cash consisting of 80 one­hundred dollar bills，or just 80 slips of blank paper.They had been told researchers were simply testing their dexterity (熟练) in handling the notes.

　　Each volunteer was then asked to dip their hands into a bowl of very hot water，to see how painful they found it and how long they could last.The results，published in a recent edition of the journal Psychological Science，showed those who had handled money reported less pain and lasted longer.The results support other studies highlighting how the brain can be tuned to fight off pain without the use of pills.

　　A University of Los Angeles team of scientists found just looking at a photograph of a loved one can also be a powerful form of pain relief.They recommended anyone visiting hospital for painful tests or examinations should bring a picture to help them cope.

　　And patients who have had major surgery，such as a knee or hip replacement，can halve the amount of painkilling medicine they need simply by stroking a pet，according to tests at Loyola University in Chicago.

　　1．Handling money can prevent pain because ________.

　　A．we are confident in our usefulness

　　B．we can afford the expenses of the treatment

　　C．we can do everything with the money

　　D．we can’t live without money

　　2．The phrase “over­the­counter painkilling pills” refer to pills________.

　　A．that can be obtained outside the drug store

　　B．that can be bought without a prescription

　　C．that are placed on the counter of the store

　　D．that are purchased with a written order from a doctor

　　3．Which of the following may least kill pain?

　　A．Counting out a wad of cashes.

　　B．Looking at the picture of a loved one.

　　C．Handling a group of blank paper.

　　D．Walking a pet.

　　4．What might be the most suitable title for the passage?

　　A．Money Makes Something Impossible Possible

　　B．Money Has a Magic Power in Treating Patients

　　C．Money Brings Comfort to Pain Suffers

　　D．Money Kills Pains Better than Aspirin

　　5．We can infer that the passage is________.

　　A．a research report on the role of money

　　B．a kind of medicine instructions

　　C．an introduction to a new medicine

　　D．a description of natural reaction to a medicine

　　【语篇解读】　本文是一篇科普类文章。研究发现，通过数钱、看自己喜欢的画、养宠物等都可以减轻痛苦。

　　1．A　[细节理解题。根据第三段“It’s thought that fondling notes and coins helps ward off pain by boosting feelings of self­worth and self­sufficiency.”可知，数钱可以带来自我价值和自我满足感，从而有助于止痛，故答案选A。]

　　2．B　[细节理解题。根据第一段“Handling a wad of cash may be as good at killing pain than ibuprofen (布洛芬) or aspirin...”可知，本文是将数钱和ibuprofen (布洛芬) or aspirin进行比较，over­the­counter painkilling pills就是指第一段中的ibuprofen (布洛芬) or aspirin，而这两种药可以直接在药店买，不需要开处方，故答案选B。]

　　3．C　[细节理解题。根据第一段和最后两段可知，通过数钱、看自己喜欢的画、养宠物都可以减轻痛苦，只有C项在文中没有涉及，故答案选C。]

　　4．D　[标题概括题。根据第一段可知，一项新的研究表明，比起止痛药布洛芬和阿司匹林，数钱也许更能有效止痛。]

　　5．A　[推理判断题。根据文章第一段中的“a new study suggests”和第二段中的“Researchers...”可知，本文是一篇有关金钱作用的报道，故答案选A。]
