As we laughed,she cleared her throat and began,"We do not stop playing because we are old;we grow old because we stop playing.There is a huge difference between growing older and growing up.If you're nineteen years old and lie in bed for one full year,you will turn twenty.If I'm eighty-seven years old and stay in bed for a year,I will turn eighty-eight.Anybody can grow older.It's non-optional but that doesn't take any talent or ability.The idea is to grow up by always finding the chance in change.In this way the elderly don't have regrets for what they did,but rather for things they did not do." Rose concluded her speech by courageously singing "The Rose".She challenged us to study the words of the song and lived them out in daily lives.At the year's end Rose finished the college degree she had begun all those years ago.One week after graduation Rose died peacefully in her sleep.Over two thousand college students attended her funeral in honor of the wonderful woman who taught by example that it's never too late to be all you can possibly be.16.Why does the author compare Rose to "time machine" in Paragraph 2?______A. To stress her old age and knowledge of life.B. To describe the close friendship between them.C. To show that she always enjoyed her active life.D. To explain why she took on a challenge in college.17.Rose was invited to speak at the football meal most probably because ______ .A. she was a great football fanB. she was the smartest studentC. she tried hard to achieve her dreamD. she became more educated than the others18.We can learn that Rose agreed with the idea that ______ .A. growing older means growing upB. it takes talent and ability to grow upC. receiving high education helps to be courageousD. one grows older at the same time when he grows up19.The passage is intended to ______ .A. provide an example for the elderlyB. discuss how to grow up quicklyC. tell the importance of attending collegeD. inspire the readers to live up to livesBSea Life Melbourne Aquarium (水族馆)The all-new Sea Life Melbourne Aquarium,located in the heart of Melbourne's CBD,is one of Victoria's leading visitor attractions and an unforgettable outing for the whole family.Having 12 amazing zones of discovery,Sea Life Melbourne Aquarium is the very place that you cannot miss when you visit the city.*Opening TimesSea Life Melbourne Aquarium is open from 9:30 am until 6:00 pm every day of the year,including public holidays.Last admission is at 5:00 pm,one hour before closing.*Location.Sea Life Melbourne Aquarium is located on the corner of Flinders Street and King Street,Melbourne.It is located on the Yarra River,opposite Crown Entertainment Complex.*Getting to Sea Life Melbourne AquariumTrainThe Sea Life Melbourne Aquarium train stop is located on the free City Circle Tram route (公交线路)and also routes 70 and 75.City Circle trams run every 10 minutes in both directions.Shuttle BusThe Sea Life Melbourne Aquarium is a free bus service,stopping at key tourist attractions in and around the City.Running daily,every 15 minutes from 10:00 am to 4:00 pm.Car ParkingWhile there is no public car parking at Sea Life Melbourne Aquarium,there are several public car parking lots available only a short walk away.*Wheelchair AccessSea Life Melbourne Aquarium provides people in wheelchairs with full access to all 12 zones.Each floor also has wheelchair accessible toilets.*TermsTickets will be emailed to you immediately after buying or you can download and print your ticket once payment has been accepted.Please print out all tickets bought and present at the front entrance of Sea Life Melbourne Aquarium.No ticket,no entry!20.Sea Life Melbourne Aquarium ______ .A. is located at the center of the CBD in the cityB. has 12 most attractive places in MelbourneC. admits visitors from 9:30 am until 6:00 pmD. is beside Crown Entertainment Complex21.Getting to Sea Life Melbourne Aquarium,visitors can take ______ .A. trains from southern Cross train stationB. shuttle buses around the train stationC. boats across the Yarra RiverD. either tram route 70 or 7522.Sea Life Melbourne Aquarium offers visitors ______ .A. free car parkingB. wheelchair accessC. Internet connectionD. transportation service23.Tickets to Sea Life Melbourne Aquarium ______ .A. are free to all visitorsB. can be bought by emailC. are checked at the entranceD. can be printed at the ticket officeCThis is the age of the quick action.We have instant satisfaction,fast food,speed reading,mobile phones;even the stress management books have titles like "Stress Management in 60 Seconds".Canadian Classics Professor Margaret Visser points out that we have "no time" is one of the most fixed concepts of Western culture.Visser says that "no time" is used as an excuse and also as a spur(激励);it both inspires us and limits us,just as a concept such as "honor" did for the ancient Greeks.According to Visser,the feeling that Westerners have "no time" is abstract,quantitative,amoral,unarguable pressure on each person as an individual.At the same time the "no time" excuse escapes blames by claiming to be a condition created entirely out of our good fortune.Life offers "so many pleasures,so many choices".The fact that women now work outside the home has contributed to the "no time" trend.But more important,Visser says,is the fact that feeling rushed has become an important part of our economy.Marketing of "time-saving" products causes people to buy more and work longer.So we eat out or buy prepared food to save time.The fax-it-to-my-car technology only contributes to the constant hurry.In our rushed and tired state,even the obligation to sit down to a casual meal with family seems like a pressure.In comparison with the decision to act on a sudden whim(一时的兴致)to consume a microwave mug of soup,the act of eating together and not getting up from the table until everyone else has finished seems an unbelievably time-consuming event.Being in one's own personal hurry in the West is somehow "free and preferable".24.The underlined word "it" in the second paragraph refers to " ______ ".A. excuseB. conceptC. spurD. professor25.The following things have led to the "no time" trend in the West according to the passageEXCEPT that ______ .A. feeling rushed has become an important part of our economyB. people now prefer to be in their own personal hurryC. women now work outside the homeD. people are rushed and tired26.Which of the following doesn't contribute to feeling rushed?______A. Eating together and not getting up until everybody has finished.B. Making of time-saving products.C. The fax-it-to-my-car technology.D. Longer working hours.27.We can learn from the passage that "no time" trend ______ .A. has caused heart diseases and mental problemsB. is not harmful if you have no control of eventsC. is very desirable to the individualD. puts pressure on the individualDOne day when I was 12,my mother gave me an order:I was to walk to the public library and borrow at least one book for the summer.This was one more weapon for her to defeat my strange problem inability to read.In the library,I found my way into the "Children's Room".I sat down on the floor and pulled a few books off the shelf at random.The cover of a book caught my eye.It presented a picture of a beagle.I had recently had a beagle,the first and only animal companion I ever had as a child.He was my secret sharer,but one morning,he was gone,given away to someone who had the space and the money to care for him.I never forgot my beagle.There on the book's cover was a beagle which looked identical to my dog.I ran my fingers over the picture of the dog on the cover.My eyes ran across the title,Amos,the Beagle with a Plan.Unknowingly,I had read the title.Without opening the book,I borrowed it from the library for the summer.Under the shade of a bush,I started to read about Amos.I read very,very slowly with difficulty.Though pages were turned slowly,I got the main idea of the story about a dog who,like mine,had been separated from his family and who finally found his way back home.That dog was my dog,and I was the little boy in the book.At the end of the story,my mind continued the final scene of reunion,on and on,until my own lost dog and I were,in my mind,running together.My mother's call returned me to the real world.I suddenly realized something:I had read a book,and I had loved reading that book.Everyone knew I could not read But I had read it.Books could be incredibly wonderful and I was going to read them.I never told my mother about my "miraculous"(奇迹般地)experience that summer,but she saw a slow but remarkable improvement in my classroom performance during the next year.And years later,she was proud that her son had read thousands of books,was awarded a PhD in literature,and authored his own books,articles,poetry and fiction.The power of the words has held.28.The author's mother told him to borrow a book in order to ______ .A. encourage him to do more walkingB. let him spend a meaningful summerC. help cure him of his reading problemD. make him learn more about weapons29.The book caught the author's eye because ______ .A. it reminded him of his own dogB. he found its title easy to understandC. it contained pretty pictures of animalsD. he liked children's stories very much30.Why could the author manage to read the book through?______A. He was forced by his mother to read it.B. He identified with the story in the book.C. The book told the story of his pet dog.D. The happy ending of the story attracted him.31.Which one could be the best title of the passage?______A. My Passion for ReadingB. Mum's Strict OrderC. Reunion with My BeagleD. The Charm of a BookEDespite the anxiety that Jones' Host-said by some to be the first digital novel--caused in 1993,publishers weren't too concerned that e-books would one day replace printed books.However,that attitude was changed suddenly in 2007 when Amazon's Kindle came onto the market,which led to e-book sales jumping up to 1,260%.Since then,e-books' popularity has continued to steadily rise.The publishing industry seemed to have lost all possible ability to regain its position.Will-printed books eventually become a thing of the past?According to Mike Shatzkin,founder and CEO of the Idea Logical Company,printed books just for plain old reading will,in 10 years from now,be unusual."Not so unusual that a kid will say,‘ Mommy,what's that?' but unusual enough that on the train you'll see one or two people reading something printed,while everyone else is reading off of a tablet." And Shatzkin believes that the demise of print is sure to happen,though such a day won't arrive for perhaps 50 to 100 or more years.Robert Stein,founder of the Institute for the Future of the Book,however,believes that books won't disappear entirely,at least not anytime soon."Print will exist,but it will be in a different field and will appeal to a very limited audience,as poetry does today.Like woodblock printing,hand-processed film and folk weaving (编织),printed pages may assume an artistic value," he says.He imagines that future forms of books might be developed not by conventional publishers but by the gaming industry.He also predicts that the distinction between writer and reader will be made less obvious by a social reading experience in which authors and consumers can digitally interact with each other to discuss any passage,sentence or line.Is there anything we risk sacrificing,should print really disappear entirely?According to Maryanne Wolf,director of the Center for Reading and Language Research at Tufts University,electronic reading can negatively affect the way the brain responds to text,including reading comprehension,focus and the ability to maintain attention to details like plot and order of events."My worry is that we'll have a short-circuited reading brain,excellent for gathering information but not necessarily for forming critical,analytical deep reading skills," Wolf says.The field,however,is in an early stage,and findings about the negative effects of e-reading are far from certain.In light of this,Wolf hopes that we continue to maintain a "bi-literate" society--one that values both the digital and printed word."A full reading brain circuit is a huge contribution to the intellectual development of our species.Anything that threatens that deserves our attention."32.How did publishers feel about the rising e-book sales inspired by the Kindle?______A. WorriedB. ExcitedC. CuriousD. Skeptical.33.The underlined word "demise" in Paragraph 2 probably means ______ .A. riseB. deathC. growthD. decline34.According to Robert Stein,paper books will exist because of ______ .A. the artistic valueB. the digital interactionC. the growing popularityD. the conventional design35.It can be concluded from the last two paragraphs that Wolf holds that ______ .A. e-reading will weaken the power of our brainB. digital books and paper books should not co-existC. e-reading will make us more critical and thoughtfulD. we should not risk losing a full reading brain circuit三、完形填空(本大题共20小题,共30.0分)Running for a Dream I will never forget that November day.It was hotter than normal.This was the (36) my father and I had waited so long for,because we had been working towards thisrace for three years.Dozens of familiar faces from church and school flashed across my view.They had come(37) me.I saw worry and (38) on my father's face.Then the race began!

"We basically noticed that some of the extra food from the dining hall was going to waste at the end of the day. And we met with the dining services and asked them whether it would be okay if instead of throwing out the food we could donate it. And they were on board." he said.So 18 months ago, the students began what they call the Food Recovery Network. Each night, volunteers would show up at a campus dining hall to pick up leftovers and deliver them to area shelters and food banks. So far, they have donated more than 23,000 kilos of food that would otherwise have been thrown out.Nationwide, $165 billion worth of food is wasted each year, according to the National Resources Defense Council. Spokesman Bob Keefe says that is about 40% of the country's entire food production. 4t If we can reduce our waste in this country by 15%, we can feed 25 million hungry Americans. That is a hugebenefit. That is what programs like this Food Recovery Network are doing. " he said.Christian Life Center is one of the beneficiaries of the students' efforts. Ben SI ye, the senior pastor (牧师),said, 44It has been just amazing to see these students take their own time, their own vehicles and own gas money and be able to make an effort like this. Each week we are able with this food probably to feed over hundred people.”The University of Maryland's Food Recovery Network now has 200 volunteers and the program has expanded to 18 schools across the country. 4t I want to grow 18 chapters to a thousand chapters within five years.

Activities are planned in more than twenty countries to get millions of people in the developing world to wash their hands with soap.Experts say people around the world wash their hands but very few use soap at so-called critical moments. These include after using the Loilet, after cleaning a baby and before .touching food.Global Hand Washing Day is the idea of the Public-Private Partnership for Hand Washing with Soap. The goal, they say, is to create a culture of hand washing with soap. The organizers say all soaps are equally effective at removing disease-causing germs (病菌).They say the correct way to wash hands is to wet your hands with a small amount of water and cover them with soap. Rub it into all areas, including under the fingernails. Then, rinse well under running water. Finally, dry your hands with a clean cloth.The Partnership says soap is important because it increases the time that people spend washing. Soapalso helps to break up the dirt that holds most of the germs. And it usually leaves a pleasant smell, which increases the likelihood that people will wash again.It also says washing with soap before eating and after using the toilet could save more lives than an.y medicine. It could help reduce cases of diarrhea (痢疾),which is the second leading cause of child deaths, killing more than one and a half million children a year, by almost half.26.The Partnership creates Global Hand Washing Day to.A.call on people to wash handsB.help the developing countriesC.make a culture of hand washing in the third worldD.promote the importance of soap in hand washing27.The following facts can explain why soap is important EXCEPT thatA.soap gets people into the habit of washing handsB.soap helps to get rid of more germs off handsC.soap attracts people to do more hand washingD.soap gives people a longer hand washing time28.According to the last paragraph, diarrhea is a disease that.A.kills half of the kids in developing countriesB.can be prevented by washing hands with soapC.causes the greatest number of child deathsD.makes soap stand out in hand washing第二节(共5小题;每小题2分,满分10分一)根据短文内容,从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。

For men, getting married saves an hour of housework a week. “It’s a well-known pattern,” said lead researcher Frank Stafford at University of Michigan’s Institute for Social Research. “Men usually work more outside the home, while women take on more of the housework.”He points out that differences among households (家庭) exist. But in general, marriage means more housework for women and less for men. “And the situation gets worse for women when they have children.” Stafford said. Overall, times are changing in the American home. In 1976, women busied themselves with 26 weekly hours of sweeping-and-dusting work, compared with 17 hours in 2005. Men are taking on more housework, more than doubling their housework hours from six in 1976 to 13 in 2005.Single women in their 20s and 30s did the least housework, about 12 weekly hours, while married women in their 60s and 70s did the most – about 21 hours a week.Men showed a somewhat different pattern, with older men picking up the broom more often than younger men. Single men worked the hardest around the house, more than that of all other age groups of married men. Having children increases housework even further. With more than three, for example, wives took on more of the extra work, clocking about 28 hours a week compared with husbands’ 10 hours.【1】According to the “well-known pattern” in Paragraph 1, a married man ________.A.takes on heavier workB.does more houseworkC.is the main breadwinnerD.is the master of the house【2】How many hours of housework did men do every week in the 1970s?A.About 28B.About 26C.About 13D.About 6【3】What kind of man is doing most housework according to the text?A.An unmarried man.B.An older married man.C.A younger married man.D.A married man with children.【4】What can we conclude from Stafford’s research?A.Marriage gives men more freedom.B.Marriage has effects on job choices.C.Housework sharing changes over time.D.Having children means doubled housework.2.Once Dr. Mellinkoff invited me to join him at the hospital to discuss interesting cases(案例,病例) withhis students.The case at hand was a Guatemalan man, aged 34, who had a fever and many other medicalproblems.His condition was not improving, and there was not much hope he would live.Dr.: Mellinkoff asked to see the patient.He introduced himself in Spanish and, in a very gentle voice, asked how he felt.The patient smiled and said everything was all right.Then the doctor asked if he was able to eat.The patient said that he had no desire to eat."Are you getting food you like?"The patient said nothing."Do you get the kind of food you have at home?"The answer was no.The doctor put his hand on the man's shoulder and his voice was very soft."If you had food that you liked, would you eat it?""Yes, yes," the patient said.The change in the patient's appearance couldn't have been more obvious.Nothing was said, but it was easy to tell that a message had been sent and had also been received.Later, the doctor asked why the Guatemalan man wasn't getting food he could eat.One of the students said, "We all know how difficult it is to get the kitchen to make special meals.""Suppose," the doctor replied, "you felt a certain medicine was absolutely necessary but that our hospital didn't carry it, would you accept defeat or would you insist the hospital meet your request?""I would probably insist," the student said."Very well," the doctor said."You might want to try the same method in the kitchen.It won't be-easy, but I can help you.Meanwhile, let's get some food inside this man as fast as possible, and stay with it.Or he'll be killed by hunger.By the way, there must be someone among you who can speak Spanish.If we want to make real progress, we need to be able to talk with him."Three weeks later.Doctor Mellinkoff told me that the Guatemalan man had left the hospital under his own power.It takes more than medicine to help sick people; you also have to talk to them and make them comfortable.【1】The patient had no desire to eat because __________________.A.he was not hungryB.he was seriously illC.he was given special mealsD.he was not satisfied with the food【2】According to the passage, we can conclude that __________________.A.the patient’s native language was SpanishB.the patient’s illness was caused by hungerC.Dr. Mellinkoff performed an operation on the patientD.the hospital failed to provide the right medicine for the patient【3】Which of the following words can be used to describe Dr. Mellinkoff?A.Cold.B.Considerate.C.Curious.D.Careless.【4】What do you think Dr. Mellinkoff wanted to tell his students in this case?A.Doctors should be good at foreign languages.B.Doctors should know their patients’ real problems.C.Doctors should try to improve their medical skills.D.Doctors should have a good relationship with their patients.3.Do you know of anyone who uses the truth to deceive (欺骗)? When someone tells you something that is true, but leaves out important information that should be included, he can give you a false picture.For example, some might say, “I just won a hundred dolla rs on the lottery (彩票). It was great. I took that dollar ticket back to the store and turned it in for one hundred dollars!”This guy’s a winner, right? Maybe, maybe not. We then discover that he bought $200 worth of tickets, and onlyone was a winner. He’s really a big loser!He didn’t say anything that was false, but he left out important information on purpose. That’s called a half-truth. Half-truths are not technically lies, but they are just as dishonest.Some politicians often use this trick. Let’s say that during Governor Smith’s last term, her state lost one million jobs and gained three million jobs. Then she seeks another term. One of her opponents(对手) says, “During Governor Smith’s term, the state lost one million jobs!” that’s true. However, and honest statement would have been, “During Governor Smith’s term, the state had a net gain of two million jobs.”Advertisers(广告商) will sometimes use half-truths. It’s against the law to make false statements so they try to mislead you with the truth. An adv ertisement might say, “Nine out of ten doctors advised their patients to take Yucky Pills to cure toothache.” It fails to mention that they only asked ten doctors and nine of them work for the Yucky Company.This kind of deception happens too of often. It’s a sad fact of life: Lies are lies, and sometimes the truth can lie as well.【1】How much did the lottery winner lose?A.One hundred dollars.B.Two hundred dollars.C.Three hundred dollars.D.Four hundred dollars.【2】We may infer that the author believes people should _______.A.buy lottery ticketsB.make use of half-truthsC.not take anything at face valueD.not trust the Yucky Company【3】What do the underline words “net gain” in Paragraph 5 mean?A.final increase B.big advantage C.large share D.total saving【4】What can we know from the example of the Yucky Pill advertisement?A.False statements are easy to see through.B.Half-truths are often used to mislead people.C.Doctors like to act in advertisements.D.Advertisements are based on facts.4.Camping wild is a wonderful way to experience the natural world and, at its best, it makes little environmental influence. But with increasing numbers of people wanting to escape into the wilderness, it is becoming more and more important to camp unobtrusively(不引人注目地)and leave no mark.Wild camping is not permitted in many places, particularly in crowded lowland Britain. Wherever you are, find out about organizations responsible for managing wild spaces, and contact them to find out their policy on camping and shelter building. For example, it is fine to camp wild in remote parts of Scotland, but in England you must ask the landowner’s permission, except in national parks.Camping is about having relaxation, sleeping outdoors, experiencing bad weather, and making do without modern conveniences. A busy, fully-equipped campsite(野营地)seems to go against this, so seek out smaller, more remote places with easy access to open spaces and perhaps beaches. Better still, find a campsite with no road access: walking in makes a real adventure.Finding the right spot to camp is the first step to guaranteeing a good night’s sleep. Choose a campsite with privacy and minimum influence on others and the environment. Try to use an area where people have obviously camped before rather than creating a new spot. When camping in woodland, avoid standing dead trees, which may fall on a windy night. Avoid animal runs and caves, and possible homes of biting insects. Make sure you have most protection on the windward side. If you make a fire, do so downwind of your shelter. Always consider what influence you might have on the natural world. Avoid damaging plants. A good campsite is found, not made—changing it should be unnecessary.【1】You needn’t a sk for permission when camping in .A.national parks in England B.most parts of ScotlandC.crowded lowland Britain D.most parts of England【2】The author thinks that a good campsite is one .A.with easy access B.used previouslyC.with modern conveniences D.far away from beaches【3】The last paragraph mainly deals withA.protecting animalsB.building a campfireC.camping in woodlandD.finding a campsite with privacy【4】The passage is mainly aboutA.the protection of campsitesB.the importance of wild campingC.the human influence on campsitesD.the dos and don’ts of wild camping四、单词拼写根据首字母或中文提示提示写出句中所缺单词,注意使用正确形式【1】They took the children on field trips to o______________ plants and animals.【2】Mr Wang s_____________ his family by teaching evening classes.【3】His encouraging speech i______________ us to try again and never to give up.【4】Every morning little Peter d______________ newspapers from house to house.

Cai Kaiyuan, 21, made a different choice. As a graduation gift to himself, he decided to work as a volunteer teacher in a distant village in Tibet.Cai, a student at Huan Railway Professional Technology College, at first planned to cycle from Sichuan to Tibet. It turned out cycling on a plateau(高原) was quite difficult. And it has kept changing his opinion on life. Cai’s hands even became painful while cycling up a 5008-meter-high mountain, where temperatures often dropped to 18 below zero. At night, the ice covered the road and he fell off his bike three times. Little oxygen made him feel sick and weak. “At the most serious moment, I felt that was on the line,” said Cai.However, he also gained something unexpected. At Ya’ an, a city in Sichuan, he met a group of tourists who are also university students. A girl called Wu Ling told him that she planned to work as a volunteer in a primary school in Tibet after her journey. He was impressed by the idea as she looked weak.It was not until he reached a family-run hotel in Shigatse that Cai’s spirits b egan to rise. The hotel manager’s two daughters enjoyed talking with him. The kids asked about his experiences on his trip, and showed him the beautiful local lakes. “They told me that they always liked to talk to guests, as they wanted to improve their Ma ndarin,” he said, “Their parents and many locals can only speak Tibetan.”Cai was moved by the girls’ story. Their situation is worse and the local people have little chance to learn Mandarin because the schools are short of teacher. “1 want to do somethin g to improve the situation for kids like them,” said Cai. His parents finally gave their agreement and his teachers also supported him.24. What is Cai Kaiyuan’s graduation gift?A. Cycling from Sichuan to Tibet.B. Receiving money for a house.C. Being a volunteer teacher in a Tibetan school.D. Owning a new car and travelling around.25. What is Cai Kaiyuan’s journey to Tibet like?A. Special and comfortable.B. Dangerous but meaningful.C. Relaxing but unexpected.D. Freezing cold and boring.26. The underlined phrase "on the line" in the second paragraph means ?A. in a hurryB. at riskC. making a phone callD. surfing the Internet27. The purpose of writing this passage is to .A. tell us about an unusual graduation giftB. introduce a dangerous journey to usC. give advice on how to travel to TibetD. encourage us to be a teacher in TibetCHe wrote that the “human mind is capable of excitement without the application of unpleasant and violent stimulants (刺激物)”. And it appears that simply reading these words by William Wordsworth proves his point.Researchers at the University of Liverpool found the writing of Shakespeare and Wordsworth and the like had a beneficial effect on the mind, making it active and excited by catching the reader’s attention and leading to moments of self-reflection.Using scanners, they monitored the brain activity of volunteers as they read pieces of classical English literature both in their original form and in a modem translation. And according to the Sunday Telegraph, the experiment showed the more challenging writing and poetry set off far more electrical activity in the brain than the simple readings.The research also found poetry, in particular, increased activity in the right brain, an area concerned with “autobiographical memory”, which helped the readers to reflect on their own experiences in light of what they had read. The academics said this meant the classics were more useful than self-help books.The brain responses of 30 volunteers were monitored in the first part of the research as they read Shakespeare in its original and modern form. In one example, volunteers read a line from King Lear, “A father and a gracious aged man: him have you madded”, before reading the simpler, “A father and a gracious aged man: him you have enraged”. Shakespeare’s use of the adjective “mad” as a verb caused a higher level of brain activity than the straightforward version.The next part of the research is looking at the extent to which poetry can affect psychology and provide benefit. V olunteers’ brains were scanned while reading four lines by Wordsworth, and four “translated” lines were also provided. The result showed that the first version caused a greater degree of brain activity.“Po etry is not just a matter of style. It is a matter of deep versions of experience that add the emotional and biographical to the cognitive (认知的),” said Professor Davis, leader of the researchers.28. The words by William Wordsworth in Paragraph 1 are used to .A. prove the poet’s pointB. introduce the topicC. serve as an exampleD. stress the importance of reading29.

According to Professor Davis, poetry can affect the mind mainly becauseof .A. its styleB. its meaningC. its depthD. its writerDPeople who often eat nuts appear to live longer, according to the latest study of its kind. The findings, published in the New England Journal of Medicine, suggested thegreatest benefit was in those eating them on their daily diet.Eating nuts was linked to a healthier lifestyle including being less likely to smoke or be overweight and more likely to exercise. The British Heart Foundation said more research was needed to prove the link, “While this is an interesting link, we need further research to make sure if it's the nuts that protect heart health, or other sides of people’s lifestyle .”The study followed nearly 120,000 people for 30 years. The more regularly people ate nuts, the less likely they were to die during the study. People eating nuts once a week were 11% less likely to have died during the study than those who never ate nuts. Lead researcher Dr. Charles Fuchs, from the Dana-Farber Cancer Institute and Brigham and Women’s Hospital, said, “The most obvious benefit was a decrease of 29%in deaths from heart disease, but we also saw a significant reduction-11%- in the danger of dying from cancer.”They suggest nuts are lowering cholesterol(胆固醇). and insulin resistance(胰岛素抗性). Nuts contain unsaturated fat(不饱和脂肪), protein(蛋白质) and several kinds of vitamins and minerals and they can take the place of snacks like chocolate bars, cakes and biscuits.Victoria Taylor, senior expert at the British H eart Foundation, said, “This study shows close connection between regularly eating a small handful of nuts and a lower risk of death from heart disease.” Choosing plain, unsalted foods rather than sweet, salted, or chocolate-covered will keep your salt and sugar intake down.32. According to the passage, what kind of people benefit most from eating nuts?A. Those who eat most nuts at a time.B. Those who eat most nuts.C. Those who eat nuts on their daily diet.D. Those who eat less nuts.33. Which kind of disease had a most decrease for regular nuts eater?A. Cancer.B. Heart disease.C. Stomach disease.D. Unknown.34.

And it appears that simply reading these words by William Wordsworth proves his point.Researchers at the University of Liverpool found the writing of Shakespeare and Wordsworth and the like had a beneficial effect on the mind, making it active and excited by catching the reader’s attention and leading to moments of self-reflection.Using scanners, they monitored the brain activity of volunteers as they read pieces of classical English literature both in their original form and in a modem translation. And according to the Sunday Telegraph, the experiment showed the more challenging writing and poetry set off far more electrical activity in the brain than the simple readings.The research also found poetry, in particular, increased activity in the right brain, an area concerned with “autobiographical memory”, which helped the readers to reflect on their own experiences in light of what they had read. The academics said this meant the classics were more useful than self-help books.The brain responses of 30 volunteers were monitored in the first part of the research as they read Shakespeare in its original and modern form. In one example, volunteers read a line from King Lear, “A father and a gracious aged man: him have you madded”, before reading the simpler, “Afather and a gracious aged man: him you have enraged”. Shakespeare’s use of the adjective “mad” as a verb caused a higher level of brain activity than the straightforward version.The next part of the research is looking at the extent to which poetry can affect psychology and provide benefit. Volunteers’ brains were scanned while reading four lines by Wordsworth, and four “translated” lines were also provided. The result showed that the first version caused a great er degree of brain activity.“Poetry is not just a matter of style. It is a matter of deep versions of experience that add the emotional and biographical to the cognitive (认知的),” said Professor Davis, leader of the researchers.28.

The findings, published in the New England Journal of Medicine, suggested the greatest benefit was in those eating them on their daily diet.Eating nuts was linked to a healthier lifestyle including being less likely to smoke or be overweight and more likely to exercise. The British Heart Foundation said more research was needed to prove the link, “While this is an interesting link, we need further research to make sure if it's the nuts that protect heart health, or other side s of people’s lifestyle .”The study followed nearly 120,000 people for 30 years. The more regularly people ate nuts, theless likely they were to die during the study. People eating nuts once a week were 11% less likely to have died during the study than those who never ate nuts. Lead researcher Dr. Charles Fuchs, from the Dana-Farber Cancer Institute and Brigham and Women’s Hospital, said, “The most obvious benefit was a decrease of 29%in deaths from heart disease, but we also saw a significant reduction-11%- in the danger of dying from cancer.”They suggest nuts are lowering cholesterol(胆固醇). and insulin resistance(胰岛素抗性). Nuts contain unsaturated fat(不饱和脂肪), protein(蛋白质) and several kinds of vitamins and minerals and they can take the place of snacks like chocolate bars, cakes and biscuits.Victoria Taylor, senior expert at the British Heart Foundation, said, “This study shows close connection between regularly eating a small handful of nuts and a lower risk of death from heart disease.” Choosing plain, u nsalted foods rather than sweet, salted, or chocolate-covered will keep your salt and sugar intake down.32.
