题型组合练(四) Ⅰ.阅读理解——科普知识 (2016·深圳二模) Humans and many other mammals have unusually efficient internal temperature regulating systems that automatically maintain stable core body temperature(核心体温) in cold winters and warm summers.In addition，people have developed cultural patterns and technologies that help them adjust to extremes of temperature and humidity(湿度)． In very cold climates，there is a constant danger of developing hypothermia(低体温)，which is a life threatening drop in core body temperature to below normal levels.The normal temperature for humans is about 37.0°C.However，differences in persons and even the time of day can cause it to be as much as 6°C higher or lower in healthy individuals.It is also normal for core body temperature to be lower in elderly people.Hypothermia begins to occur when the core body temperature drops to 34.4°C.Below 29.4°C，the body cools more rapidly because its natural temperature regulating system usually fails.The rapid decline in core body temperature is likely to result in death.However，there have been rare cases in which people have been saved after their temperatures had dropped to 13.9－15.6°C.This happened in 1999 to a Swedish woman who was trapped under an ice sheet in freezing water for 80 minutes.She was found unconscious，not breathing，and her heart had stopped beating，yet she was eventually saved despite the fact that her temperature had dropped to 13.7°C. In extremely hot climates or as a result of uncontrollable infections，core body temperature can rise to equally dangerous levels.This is hypothermia.Life threatening hypothermia typically starts in humans when their temperatures rise to 40.6－41.7°C.Only a few days at this extraordinarily high temperature level is likely to result in the worsening of internal organs and death. 本文是一篇说明文。主要介绍了人类及其他哺乳动物具有非同寻常的有效的内部体温调节系统，可以在寒冷的冬天或炎热的夏天自动维持稳定的核心体温。 1．Why can humans keep stable body temperatures in different seasons? A. Because their bodies are unusually efficient. B．Because they
