Section B
Directions: Complete the following passage by using the words in the box. Each word can only be used once. Note that there is one word more than you need.
People blind from birth can be taught to “see” images that are conveyed as sounds, says a new study that calls into question a 41 belief about the limits of the human brain.
Devices that scan visual images and re-interpret regularities as sounds were used to re-train the brains of born-blind people in a study published this week in the journal Neuron. The authors — at the Safra Center for Brain Science at Hebrew University in Israel — put people who had been blind since birth through 70 hours of training with a visual-to-auditory sensory (感官的) substitution 42 .
Initially, the subjects were able to 43 among faces, houses, everyday objects, and body shapes. They were able to read letters and words, identify facial expressions and locate people’s positions 44 . In one video, a blind person is shown a picture of a woman with a ponytail and identified the hairstyle.
Blind people have long used the capability to use another sensory ability to make up for blindness: Braille and blind walking canes allow people without sight to read and navigate. But when the authors of the current study put subjects in a brain scanner, they 45 insight into the process by which training with a sensory substitution device allowed the mind’s eye to “see”.
The human brain is a 46 efficient and adaptable organ: when a sensory perception such as sight is lost, the specialized regions of the brain in which input from the eyes is processed are 47 to other duties.
But scientists have long believed that the brain’s 48 is limited by early conditions: when a person is born blind, the capacity of the brain’s visual cortex (大脑皮层) to process sight never develops, scientists have believed. With that 49 opportunity, a window is closed, and even if eyesight were to be restored, the visual cortex, they believed, would forever remain “blind” to images.

Section B
Directions: Read the following three passages. Each passage is followed by several questions or unfinished statements. For each of them there are four choices marked A, B, C and D. Choose the one
that fits best according to the information given in the passage you have just read.
(A)
I believe that memory is never lost, even when it seems to be, because it has more to do with the heart than the mind.
At the same time my 44-year-old husband, Ed, was losing his life, my mother was losing her ability to remember. She forgot how to start the car, whether or not she had eaten and which family members had died — including my father.
I became afraid that one day I, too, would be unable to recall my husband, not because of Alzheimer’s (早老性痴呆), but simply because my memory of him might disappear. So from the day of Ed’s diagnosis (诊断) until his death a year later, I set out to memorize him. I’d always be able to recite his qualities — kind, gentle, smart, funny — but I wanted to be able to think about the physical man in my mind as fully as possible when he was gone.
Later I learnt that memory has a will of its own. You can’t control it any more than you can influence the weather. When it springs up, a person loved and lost is found, even just for a few seconds.
Recently, when I was driving, I had a deep and sudden sense of Ed, and the way it felt to have him next to me in the car. My body softened as it used to when we were together seven years ago, living a shared life. I wasn’t remembering his face or the way he walked; the careful details I had stored had nothing to do with this moment in the car. And my mom’s brain couldn’t label my father correctly, but that was not important. It was clear to me that her husband was vivid in her heart, a memory even Alzheimer’s could not destroy.
I believe there is a difference between memory and remembering. Remembering has something to do with turning the oven off before leaving the house, but memory is nurtured by emotion. It springs from a deeper well, safe from the passage of time.
65.Ed is _____.
A. t he author’s mother
B. the author’s father
C. the author’s husband
D. a physical man
66.Memory has its own will so _____.
A. the weather can’t control our memory

D. Good memory begins with turning the oven off before leaving.

A. Memory — the deeper well from our heart
B. Differences between memory and remembering
C. Alzheimer’s can never destroy our memory

be as “emerging” risk factors. Scientific evidence links them to the development of heart disease, although the strength of the evidence is not as solid as the evidence for the links between heart disease and high blood pressure or smoking.
78.
Most people spend more time researching a new car than they do a heart surgeon. Ask questions. Get second opinions. Make sure that you get the best for your health. A nd don’t be worried about offending a doctor by going elsewhere for a second opinion. All of these are what you should be clear about.
79.
Too many patients wrongly believe in the claims for diets and dietary supplements. We have had many patients stop treatments because they have been convinced that a particular diet will reverse their heart disease. Improving heart health by taking dietary supplements is a totally national rumor.
80.
Exercise. Too many patients stay at home and sit before computer desks. We’d like to see everybody make the time to exercise for 30 minutes a day. It’s simple. Find a friend and go for a walk. You can even split it up into 10- or 15-minute increments. Maybe, it’s a new begin for some patients.
