It is difficult for doctors to help a person with a damaged brain. Without enough blood, the brain lives for only three to five minutes. More often the doctors can’t fix the damage. Sometimes they are afraid to try something to help because it is dangerous to work on the brain. The doctors might make the person worse if he operates on the brain.
Dr. Robert White, a famous professor and doctor, thinks he knows a way to help. He thinks doctors should make the brain very cold. If it is very cold, the brain can live without blood for 30 minutes. This gives the doctor a longer time to do something for the brain.
Dr. White tried his idea on 13 monkeys. First he taught them to do different jobs, then he op­erated on them. He made the monkeys’ blood go through a machine. The machine cooled the blood. Then the machine sent the blood back to the monkeys’ brains. When the brain’s tempera­ture was 10°C, Dr. White stopped the blood to the brain. After 30 minutes he turned the blood back on. He warmed the blood again. After their operations the monkeys were like they had been before. They were healthy and busy. Each one could still do the jobs the doctor had taught them.

b. stop the blood to the brain
c. have the blood cooled down
d. operate on the brainA．a, b, c, dB．c, a, b, d C．c, b, d, aD．b, c, d, aA

(答案→)A 解析：文章讲述了一种新的治疗脑伤的方法。【小题1】细节题。根据第一段第二行Without enough blood, the brain lives for only three to five minutes可知A正确答案。【小题2】细节题。根据第二段第二行He thinks doctors should make the brain very cold.【小题3】细节题。根据第二段第2,3行If it is very cold, the brain can live without blood for 30 minutes.【小题4】排序题。根据文章第三段可知B正确。
