【正文】 atory 68 must be strong enough to keep the blood at very high pressure.　　Biologists have known for some time that giraffes solve this problem by having 69 high blood pressure, about 70 that of human beings. But an international team of biologists began to 71 about this. If giraffes have such high blood pressure, they should have a 72 problem with swelling in their legs and feet. Why don39。t giraffes have swollen feet?　　Giraffes should have 73 problem, too. Every time they bend heads 74 to drink, the blood should 75 to their heads and have a hard time 76 back up (when the head is down) to the heart. How e giraffes don39。t black out when they drink?　　The answer to the 77 feet problem, the researchers found, is that giraffes have 78 the researchers call a natural antigravity suit. It 79 out that the skin and other 80 in their legs and feet are 81 stiffer and tougher than those of other 82 . As a result, the blood vessels in the leg cannot swell.　　Therefore, the blood has nowhere to go but back to the heart. What about blood rushing to the head 83 the giraffe bends down to drink? The researchers found that the giraffe39。s jugular vein, which 84 blood from the head back to the heart, has lots of oneway valves in it. In the giraffe39。s neck, there are lots of muscles that flex and relax repeatedly as the animal moves its head and sucks 85 drinking water. By squeezing the valved jugular vein, they 86 blood moving back to the heart even while the animal is drinking.　　67. [A] bring [B] produce [C] transfer [D] pump　　68.

I have received the letter of admission from Harvard University. This means I am going to do my doctor degree program this fall in America. After years of hard work, I know have finally realized my dream of being able to work in the most advanced laboratory in the world with the most outstanding top scientists in the field of genetic engineering.　　I am now very busy preparing for this trip of utmost importance in my life. I spend most of my time improving my oral and aural English. You know I have a good mand of written English. In fact, I have written my papers in English, some of which have been published abroad　　already. But my listening and speaking ability of English is far behind. I am afraid that this poor mand of listening and speaking will hinder the effective munication once I am abroad. Can you just suggest any good way of improving my oral English skills quickly? I am a bit anxious recently.　　Anyway, I will try my best.　　Hope to hear from you soon!　　Yours,　　Li Ming　　Part II Reading Comprehension (Skimming and Scanning)　　1.
