More than that, I'd always wanted to learn chess. And, even if I weren't 3 enough about free credits, news about our 4 was appealing enough to me. He wasan international grandmaster, which 5 I would be learning from one of the game's 6 . I could hardly wait to 7 him.Maurice Ashley was kind and smart, a former graduate returning to teach, and this 8 was no game for him; he meant business. In his introduction, he made it 9 that our credits would be hard-earned. In order to 10 the class, among other criteria, we had to write a paper on how we plan to 11 what we would learn in class to our future professions and, 12 , to our lives. I managed to get an A in that 13 and learnedlife lessons that have served me well beyond the 14 .Ten years after my chess class with Ashley, I'm still putting to use what he 15 me: "The absolute most important 16 that you learn when you play chess is how to make good 17 . On every single move you have to 18 a situation, process what your opponent (对手) is doing and 19 the best move from among all your options."

完形填空(一)There are many theories about the beginning of drama in ancient Greece. The one most widely accepted today is based on the assumption that drama ___16___ from ritual. The argument for this ___17___ goes as follows. In the beginning, human beings viewed the natural forces of the world —even the seasonal changes —as ___18___, and they ___19___ through various means to control these unknown and feared powers. Those ___20___ which appeared to bring the desired results were then retained and repeated ___21___ they hardened into fixed rituals. Eventually stories arose which explained or veiled the mysteries of the rites. As time passed some rituals were ___22___, but the stories, later called myths, persisted and provided material for art and drama.Those who believe that drama evolved out of ritual also argue that those rites ___23___ the seed of theater because music, dance, masks, and costumes were almost always used. ___24___, a suitable ___25___ had to be provided for performances and when the entire community did not participate, a clear ___26___ was usually made between the “acting area” and the “auditorium”. In addition, there were performers, and, since considerable importance was attached to ___27___ mistakes in the enactment of rites, religious leaders ___28___ assumed that task. Wearing masks and costumes, they often ___29___ other people, animals, or supernatural beings, and mimed the desired effect —success in hunt or battle, the coming rain, the revival of the Sun —as an ___30___ might. Eventually such ___31___ representations were separated from religious activities.Another theory ___32___ the theater’s origin from the human interest in storytelling. According to this view, tales (about the hunt, war, or other feats) are gradually ___33___, at first through the use of impersonation, action, and dialogue by a narrator and then through the ___34___ of each of the roles by a different person. A closely related ___35___ traces theater to those dances that are primarily rhythmical and gymnastic or that are imitations of animal movements and sounds.16.

After examining carefully, he 8 to buy a particularly fine diamond necklace and asked if he could pay by cheque. The assistant said that this was quite in order, but the moment my friend 9 his name, he was invited into the manager's office.The manager was polite, and he explained that someone with exactly the same name had 10 them with a worthless cheque not long ago.

Sure enough, the police arrived soon afterwards. They politely 14 to my friend for the inconvenience, but explained that a person who had used the same name as his was 15 for a number of recent robberies.

But for those who experiencesevere trauma (创伤), such painful memories can leave people with life-changing mental conditions. So, what if traumatic memories did not have to cause so much ____207____ ? For now, the work is happening in mice.Neuroscientists usually define a singular memory as an engram--a physical change in brain tissue ____208____ a particular recollection. While at MIT in 2013, Steve Ramirez of Boston University and his research partner Xu Liu had a breakthrough: They were able to target the cells that ____209____ one engram in a mouse's brain and then implant a false memory. In their work, mice ____210____ in fear to a particular stimulus even when they had not been conditioned in advance.In their current work, Ramirez and his colleagues are investigating whether____211____ memories can be “overwritten" by positive ones. In their experiments, positive memories are created by putting male mice in cages with female ones for an hour, and negative memories are created by putting the mice in cages that deliver brief foot shocks. After a surgical operation on the mice, the researchers find that ____212____ positive memories while mouse is in a cage makes it less fearful. They think that this memory "retraining" may be helping to ____213____ some of the mouse's trauma. ____214____ , it is unclear whether those original fear memories are completely lost or just suppressed (抑制)._____215_____ Ramirez's team stresses that their work in mice is preliminary (初步的), they see treatment potential for humans down the road. Those suffering from PTSD or depression could have their memories _____216_____ , for instance, so that they don't have a strong _____217_____ response to painful recollections.If it's one day possible to alter human memory, who should be allowed to receive that treatment? And would the _____218_____ system be at a disadvantage if key witnesses and victims cannot remember a crime? These are questions New York University bioethicist (生物伦理学家) Arthur Caplan says are worth thinking about before the technology is ready for human clinical settings.As neuroscientists progress with their research, they say these _____219_____ issues are being taken into account. Ramirez sees the idea of _____220_____ memories as neither good nor bad.

The Fitting-in of Suzy Khan(2014北京卷)The first time I saw Suzy Khan, I knew I had to help her. She was really small for her age of 12. The boy in my class often 36 about her and laughed their heads off. She would open a book, pretending to read, with tears dropping on the open page.All I knew was that she was an orphan (孤儿) from Africa. She had just been adopted by a family in town who 37 that the best way for her to learn American ways of life was to be with american kids. I looked down at this 38 girl and promised myself that somehow I would help her. But how could I help her 39 in with us? There had to be a 40 .One day, when I went into the classroom, I saw that Suzy had 41 her geography book to a picture of a train, and in her notebook, she had made a(n) 42 copy.I was surprised and thought that she could do something in the coming 43 show. So, I took her to see the art teacher, Miss Parker, and showed her what Suzy had 44 . “why, it’s wonderful,”said Miss Parker, who then showed us a poster she had painted 45 the talent show. “I need more of these, but I just don’t have enough 46 . Could you help me, Suzy?”On the day of the talent show, Suzy’s 47 were everywhere ---- all over the hall and all over the school, each one different.“And finally,”said Mr Brown, the schoolmaster, at the end of the show, “we have a (n) award. I’m sure you’ve all noticed the wonderful posters.”Everyone nodded. “One of our own students 49 them.”I could hear everyone whispering. “Who in our school could draw 50 well?”Mr. Brown waited a while before saying, “51 this student worked so hard on the posters, she deserves a 52 ,too. Our mystery(神秘) artist is our new student ---- Suzy Khan!”Mr. Brown thanked her for all the wonderful posters and gave her a professional artist’s set. “Thank you,”she cried. I 53 , at that time when I was looking at her excited face, she’d probably never 54 anything in her whole life.Everyone started to 55 their hands. Suzy Khan gave them a shy smile and the applause was defening. I knew then Suzy was going to ne all right.36. A. joked B. cared C. trains D. worried37. A.

This is like your teacher telling that you’ve done 17 and allowing you to skip a grade(跳级), but you’ll have to 18 your friends. Would you say yes to your teacher?”She gave me a hug and asked me to think about it. I was puzzled. The question kept me 19 for the rest of the night I had said “yes”but for the first time, I realized the 20 decisions adults had to make.For almost four years, my mother would call us from Brazil every day. Every evening I’d 21 wait for the phone to ring and then tell her every detail of my day. A phone call, however, could never replace her 22 and it was difficult not to feel lonely at times.During my fourth-grade Christmas break, we flew to Rio to visit her. Looking at her large 23 apartment, I became 24 how lonely my mother must have been in Brazil herself. It was then 25 I started to appreciate the tough choices she had to make on 26 family and work. 27 difficult decisions, she used to tell me, you wouldn’t know whether you make the right choice, but you could always make the best out of the situation, with passion and a 28 attitude.Back home , I 29 myself that what my mother could do, I could, too. If she 30 to live in Rio all by herself, I, too, could learn to be 31 . I learn how to take care of myself and set high but achievable 32.My mother is now back with us. But I will never forget what the 33 has really taught me. Sacrifices 34 in the end. The separation between us has proved to be 35 for me.16. A. attract B. promote C. surprise D. praise17.

Study had to be done 39 his farm-work routines. He withdrew from many school activities 40 he didn’t have the time or the 41 . He had only one good suit. He tried 42 the football team, but the coach turned him down for being too 43 . During this period Dale was slowly 44 an inferiority complex (自卑感), which his mother knew could 45 him from achieving his real potential. She 46 that Dale join the debating team, believing that 47 in speaking could give him the confidence and recognition that he needed.Dale took his mother’s advice, tried desperately and after several attempts 48 made it. This proved to be a 49 point in his life. Speaking before groups did help him gain the 50 he needed. By the time Dale was a senior, he had won every top honor in 51 . Now other students were coming to him for coaching and they, 52 , were winning contests.Out of this early struggle to 53 his feelings of inferiority, Dale came to understand that the ability to 54 an idea to an audience builds a person’sconfidence.

The position offered a 33 , permanent campsite in the park, and 34 , the hosts served as a link between the park’s guests and the rangers (护林人). It was the perfect solution: a rent-free place to reorganize our lives. We entered the park and I made an 35 for the following day.The park was 36 , so it took us some time to find an available site. That evening, as we finished our dinner, my wife saw two large skunks (臭鼬) walking toward our table. We 37 climbed onto the table and, for the next four hours, waited for them to 38 our camp.Having survived that night, we were 39 that everything else would be all right. The next day we met with the people who ran the park. They explained our40 and gave us a beautiful campsite.That evening, 41 , we learned about the canyon 42 . They were strong and cold, rocking our little camping truck violently, and we lay 43in the dark until the winds died away.44 the weeks that followed, we learned to survive in our truck and45the little money my wife 46 by substitute teaching. Building a successful business and then losing it had left very little time for building a successful47 . For a time after our business 48 I thought I might lose my family as well.Living in the tiny 49 with no television, we sat close together reading and talking. One evening, standing under a jeweled sky, I found myself 50 for all the hardships. We had walked the trails and climbed the canyon walls. We had become a family!31.

Since I hated to be 41 , I went back to Mr. Johnson and asked him to 42 an odometer (里程表) on my bicycle. He agreed, but 43 . "An odometer without aspeedometer (速度计) is like a 44 without a knife." I admitted he was right and in a few minutes, the two devices (装置) were 45 to the handlebars of my bicycle. "What about a home" he then asked. "Look, this hom is no Iarger than a matchbox and has many 46 ." Attracted by these functions, I bought the hom."You can't leave the back part 47 ," noted Mr. Johnson. He fixed a metal box with buttons 48 the seat, and said, "Is there anything better than thisoven when you fee 49 on your way? I can give you a special discount."
