Scientists started thinking that the human brain could develop and change when they studied animals’ brains.They found out that animals that lived in a challenging environment were more “perspicacious” —they were better at solving problems and learning new things.1．According to the first paragraph，________.A．the function of our brain is like that of the muscleB．until now it’s impossible to explain the brain’s mysteryC．many people believe one’s intelligence is natur ally determinedD．one’s brain grows stronger as the age increases2．Training muscles is compared to________.A．using the brainB．connecting things in your brainC．lifting weightsD．doing research about the brain3．What is Paragraph 3 mainly about?A. The complex st ructure of the brain.B．How changes in the muscles affect the brain.C．The importance of the brain.D．How the brain becomes stronger by learning new things.4．What does the underlined word “perspicacious” in the last paragraph probably mean?A．Strong. B．Smart.C．Popular. D．Active.B(2014·贵阳市高三适应性监测二)Much meaning can be conveyed clearly with our eyes，so it is often said that eyes can speak.Do you have such kind of experience？In a bus you may look at a stranger，but not too long.And if he is sensing that he is being stared at，he may feel uncomfortable.It’s the same in daily life.If you are looked at for more than necessary，you will look at yourself up and down，to see if there is anything wrong with you If nothing goes wrong，you will feel angry toward other’s stare at you that way.Eyes do speak，right?Looking too long at someone may seem to be rude and aggressive.But things are different when it comes to stare at the opposite sex.If a man glances at a woman for more than 10 seconds and refuses to turn away his gaze，his intentions are obvious，that is，he wishes to attract her attention，to make her understand that he is admiring her.However，the normal eye contact for two people engaged in conversation is that the speaker will only look at the listener from time to time，in order to make sure that the listener does pay attention to what the other is speaking，to tell him that he is attentive.If a speaker looks at you continuously when speaking，as if he tries to dominate (支配) you，you will feel embarrassed.A poor liar (说谎者) usually exposes himself by looking too long at the victim，since he believes in the false idea that to look straight in the eye is a sign of honest communication.Quite the contrary.In fact，continuous eye contact is confined (局限于) to lovers only，who will enjoy looking at each other tenderly for a long time，to show affection that words cannot express.Evidently，eye contact should be done according to the relationship between two people and the specific situation.5．What does the second paragraph suggest?A．Looking at a stranger continuously is necessary.B．Looking at a stranger continuously is not polite.C．Something happens in our eyes.D．Strangers should avoid eye contact.6．The underlined word “gaze” in the third paragraph probably me ans________. A．attraction B．attentionC．head D．eyes7．Continuous eye contact is proper between________.A．lovers B．strangersC．victims D．liars8．What would be discussed in the following?A．The importance of eye contact.B．Eye contact should be continuous.C．Enjoying yourself in conversation.D．Eye contact in related occasions.Ⅴ.短文改错(2013·陕西省咸阳市四校高三抽样检测)Last Thursday，we had a class meeting to discuss where to go for us spring outing.We came up with several choices such as going the boating，climbing a mountain，and go to an am usement park.Finally，we decide to go mountain climbing.The next day，we set off in the earlier morning.While climbing the mountain，we enjoyed the warm sunshine or a beautiful view.Therefore，when we reached the top，we shocked to see litter here and there，such as bottles and banana peels.Then we started to pick out the litter.Afterwards，we put the rubbish into the nearby recycling bin.We were tired and happy.课时作业(三十七)Ⅰ.语音知识1．D 2.B 3.A 4.C 5.BⅡ.单词拼写1．differ 2.exactly 3.breakthrough 4.accumulated 5.media 6.bothered 7.undertake 8.resistⅢ.单项填空1．解析：考查交际用语。

⾼考英语⼀轮复习话题37克隆（Unit2Cloning）新⼈教版选修8话题37 克隆（Unit 2 Cloning）晨读背诵When the media report on cloning in the news, they are usually talking about only one type called reproductive cloning. There are different types of cloning however, and cloning technologies can be used for other purposes besides producing the genetic twin of another organism.Scientists have been cloning animals for many years. In 1952, the first animal, a tadpole, was cloned. Before the creation of Dolly, the first mammal cloned from the cell of an adult animal, clones were created from embryonic cells. Since Dolly, researchers have cloned a number of large and small animals including sheep, goats, cows, mice, pigs ,cats, rabbits, and a gaur. All these clones were created using nuclear transfer technology.汉语⼤意：当媒体报道的克隆的消息，他们通常所说的只有⼀种称为⽣殖性克隆的类型。

The bees, spotting the food beneath the screen, learned to pull the ＂flowers＂ out by pulling the string with their legs and feet to be able to get to it.From another group of bees given the chance to solve the task without any training, only two of 110 were successful.Another group of bees was then allowed to observe the trained bees pulling the strings, and 60 percent of them successfully learned the skill. Finally, trained bees were put in colonies, and the scientists found the technique spread successfully to a majority of the co lony’s worker bees.Lars Chittka, a Queen Mary University professor who guided the project, said the team is interested in figuring out the brain processes behind the bees’ learning and teaching skills.1.What does the underlined word ＂exclusive＂ in Paragraph 3 probably mean?A. Ordinary.B. Unique.C. Beneficial.D. Widespread.2.What did the researchers find about bees?A. Bees learn best in insects.B. Bees are as clever as birds.C. Bees are born good learners.D. Bees can be trained to learn skills.3.What may the research team focus on next?A. What else bees can do.B. Where bees learn skills.C. How bees teach others.D. How bees’ brain work.4.What may be the best title for the text?A. Small bees, great abilitiesB. Bees can learn and teachC. Bees are smarterD.

Are you equal to the challenge? You might be sitting in front of your computer watching a documentary about America, which shows you the breathtaking views of skyscrapers in New York, the beautiful warm weather in San Diego, and the huge parties along the beaches of the Sunshine State, Florida.Just as you know, it's all true.I remember how my heart was racing the first time I visited Times Square in New York.I can't find any words in the dictionary to describe how I felt at that moment.Someday, when you get lucky and go there, you will know what I mean.Unfortunately, TV and movies never show the other side of what students must do to survive cation in the States is really different from other places.Yes, there is the traditional A, B, C, and D grading system, and you get to be on the Dean's List if you have all A's on your transcript.However, these grades don't just come from your test performances.The requirements of classes in the US are much more varied and this is the biggest adjustment that overseas students have tomanage.Some have papers that you have to write every week; others have group projects you must do with your classmates, presentations you make in the class, or research you do by yourself to prove your own idea.There comes a night when you have a couple of projects for different classes, a paper, and an exam to study for.And that night you ask yourself, “What did I get myself into？〞I'm not trying to intimidate you, but you should know what it really is like to study in the States.One thing I can promise you is that it is worth all the hard work you put in.And the more time you give to your study, the more open doors you will have by the time you finish your degree.1．The author wrote this passage to ________.A．help readers prepare for studying in the USB．warn people of the dangers of living in the USC．promote the US education system to overseas studentsD．make readers understand the benefits of studying in the US2．According to the author, America is ________.A．a place that he could not get used toB．a country where students can learn freelyC．a dangerous place to live in without family or friendsD．a place where people from different backgrounds get on well3．When the author first visited Times Square, he felt ________.

They probably began in the sixth century B．C. The first games lasted for only one day. The contest then was a short race alone. Only Greek men, no women and no non­Greeks, were allowed to run in the race. Women were not even allowed to watch the race. Other events were added later. The ancient games were stopped in the fourth century A.D. , when Greece was ruled by Rome.The Olympics were started again in the nineteenth century. The first competition in modern times was held in Athens in 1896. Since then the Olympic Games have been held every four years in many different cities around the world.The events are of several different types. There are individual contests, where each athlete plays alone. To win this contest, one athlete must be better, faster, or stronger than others. Some examples of individual summer games are swimming, running, jumping and gymnastics. Some winter events are skiing and sledding (雪橇) races.In a second group of events and games, three or four athletes work as a group. These contests are usually races and the fastest group wins. For these small groups, there are relay races in running and swimming in summer, and relays in skiing in winter. In a third group of games, teams from each country compete in sports. To win these games, one team must have a higher score than the other. The athletes must usually be able to catch, throw, hit, or kick a ball very well. For teams, they play such games as basketball, soccer and volleyball.For an athlete, winning in the Olympics is a great achievement.The Olympic Games答案Ⅰ.1.选B 句意：“我考驾照又没通过，很抱歉让您失望了。

Points are awarded for an original location and for the number of onlookers and participants involved. 20.________ Without a photo, you're just a person lying down. This is planking, described variously as a global participatory art project, a “meaningless Internet craze”．It began 14 years ago with a pair of bored kids. Gary Clarkson, then 15, and his friend Christian Langdon, 12, would perform planking in public places, amusing one another and puzzling onlookers. 21.________ The game was a pointless way for the boys to pass the time. As Clarkson puts it: “It was just a really stupid, random thing to do.”For its first 10 years planking spread very slowly, from Clarkson and Langdon to their friends at school and, after a while, to other kids from the neighborhood.22.________ Soon, they had a few thousand followers. Photographs of plankers came in from all over the world: American plankers on top of their televisions, British plankers in trees, and Europeans on country roads and steep riverbanks.Then things got really interesting. A few days later, a mass gathering of plankers attracted more than 100 people. The planking in the photos posted to Facebook became riskier and stranger. One brave airport worker performed the plankin the engine fan of a jet plane.23．________ Some people have linked the practice to the 1995 video for the Radiohead song, Just. In the video, a man lies down on a busy London road and a crowd of strangers gather to try to understand and help him. He refuses to move, or to tell them why he's lying there. He tells them—but not us, the viewers—and all we see is that now the entire crowd is lying down on the pavement as well. 24.________ “People generally think you're mad，” as creator Gary Clarkson puts it. “That's sort of the point.”A. You must, of course, have somebody take a photo.B．Many people believe planking is a good way to pass the time.C．At that time, it was known simply as the Lying Down Game.D．We can read about planking all of the time on Internet websites.E．Whether the video is the inspiration or not, it helps us understand the spirit of planking.F．Then, in 2007, when the pair created a Facebook group for their game, the pace accelerated.G．It's not clear—and Clarkson and Langdon don't remember—where exactly the idea for planking came from.。

Some parents can understand that wish, but it must first be recognized that the copy would be a new baby and not the lost child. Here lies the_difficulty,_for the sad parents are seeking not a new baby but a return of the dead one. Since the original would be fondly remembered as having particular talents and interests, would not the parents expect the copy to be the same? It is possible, however, that the copy would develop quite differently. Is it fair to the new child to be placed in a family with such unnatural expectations?Copying is also suggested as a means by which parents can have the child of their dreams. Couples might choose to have a copy of a film star, baseball player or scientist, depending on their interests. But because personality is only partly the result of genetic inheritance, conflicts would besure to arise if the cloned child failed to develop the same interests as the original. What if the copy of Einstein shows no interest in science? Or the baseball player turns to acting? Success_also_depends_on_fortune. What if the child does not live up to the hopes and dreams of their parents simply because of bad luck?Every child should be wanted for itself, as a person. In making a copy of oneself or some famous person, a parent is purposely specifying the way he or she wishes that child to develop. In recent years, particularly in the U．S., much importance has been placed on the right of individuals to reproduce in ways that they wish. So I suggest there should be a greater need to consider the interests of the child and to reject these suggested uses of cloning.11．The underlined part “the difficulty” in Paragraph 1 refers to ________.A．cloning a baby is difficultB．it's difficult to give birth to a new babyC．the dead child can't come back againD．the cloned baby can't replace the lost child12．According to the passage，one of the reasons why couples usually decide to clone babies is ________.A．to bring back a child killed unfortunatelyB．to exchange their childrenC．to develop the same interests as their childD．to succeed in making fortune13．The sentence “Success also depends on fortune” implies that ________.A．the result may be unpredictableB．the child does not live up to the parents' hopesC．the cloned child fails to develop the same interest as the originalD．the baseball player turns to acting14．We CAN'T conclude that ________ according to the observation made by the author.A．it's important to consider the interests of the child rather than the suggested uses of cloning B．parents can't expect to get the lost child back by cloning a new babyC．much importance should be placed on the right of parents to reproduce babies in ways that they wishD．every child should be wanted as a unique individualBRide With The LeaderCitySights NY has become the recognized leader in NYC's sightseeing.We operate the first top-deck-seating-only buses.

CloningⅠ.阅读理解Forest schools are a type of outdoor education in which children or adults visit forests，learning personal，social and technical skills.It has been defined as “an inspirational process that offers children，young people and adults regular opportunities to achieve and develop confidence through handson learning in a woodland environment”．Forest schools use the woods and forests as a means to build independence and selfesteem in schoolage children.Topics are broad，including the natural environment，for example，the role of trees in society，the complex ecosystem supported by a wilderness，and recognition of specific plants and animals.However，personal skills are considered highly valuable，such as teamwork and problem-solving.The woodland environment may be used to learn about more abstract concepts such as mathematics and communication.Forest schools are also called nature schools.Schedules within forest schools vary，but a typical approach is to take school-age children to woodland once a week，with 6 weeks' observation period at first.Often a baseline(基础)is produced for each child in terms of areas of their overall development，with particular emphasis on their social and emotional aspects of learning.Once the baseline assessment has been produced，forest schools' teachers will then continue with the longterm programme over the course of the academic year in order to support the children in their development and learning.The teachers will provide opportunities for each child to develop in areas that have been identified as requiring interventions(介入)or support of any kind.The time and frequency of visits influence the degree of the outcome most; more time spent in forest schools brings greater benefits.Visits should continue throughout the year，allowing children to experience all weather and the changing seasons.Forest schools are of ten “led by the children's interests” by comparison w ith other outdoor education which “starts with a problem for the children to investigate”．1．Who can benefit from forest schools?A．People who are not suitable for the public school system.B．People of different countries learn the same language.C．People who are dismissed by the public schools.D．People of all ages who hope to learn knowledge.2．What personal skills are considered highly valuable in forest schools?A．The ability of inventing something of great value.B．The power of making himself stronger in character.C．Teamwork and the ability of solving problems.D．The skills of making friends with some strange people.3．What is the common way to be used in forest schools?A．Letting children themselves make study plans.B．Guiding students to carry out experiments in labs.C．Teaching children to learn to observe in fixed time.D．Introducing contents beyond the requirements of textbooks.4．What has the most obvious effect on the result of forest schools' education?A．How soon for a student to complete the whole textbook.B．How long and how often for students to attend classes.C．How fast a student can understand what is taught.D．How far a student can be guided in the field of science.5．Compared with other outdoor education，forest schools________.A．focus more attention on inspiring children's interestsB．direct students to be on the way to be real scientistsC．combine textbooks with lab experiments closelyD．give students less time playing even after schoolⅡ.完形填空When I was 13，I met Mario Cuomo and talked with him for five minutes.I don't think he still remembers our__1__.But I do.What he told me in those five minutes__2__my life.It was 1982，and Cuomo was__3__for his first term as governor of New York，a__4__he would hold for the next 12__5__.My grandfather took me to a party for him.There were lots of people__6__the party who could help Cuomo__7__than I could.Even if I had donated my entire allowance(零用钱)，__8__would have barely paid for a lawn__9__.But Cuomo talked to me as if I was the most__10__person at that fund-raiser.First，he patiently answered my stupid questions.I asked which hockey(曲棍球) team he__11__better，the New York Rangers or the New York Islanders？He replied，“Officially，I like them__12__.But just between us，I__13__the Rangers.” When I ran out of queries(疑问)，the famous man__14__down and gave me some__15__I still remember practically word for word 26 years later.“In this life，”he said，“you__16__learn everything you can learn.Taste everything you can taste.Meet everyone you can meet.Travel__17__you can travel.Experience everything you can experience.”Over the years，I've tried，__18__Cuomo advised，to experience the world in all its magnificent，sometimes confusing variety.I've__19__to sample everything in life.Mario Cuomo has given a lot of__20__speeches since then，but this is one I won't forget.1.A.meeting B．interviewC．talk D．friendship2．A.changed B．influencedC．affected D．touched3．A.applying B．reachingC．going D．running4．A.job B．positionC．status D．place5．A.years B．weeksC．months D．terms6．A.inviting B．speakingC．attending D．presenting7.A.other B．ratherC．less D．more8.A.which B．itC．I D．he9.A.mark B．signalC．sign D．symbol10．A.important B．wealthyC．attractive D．supportive11．A.judged B．likedC．preferred D．favored12．A.either B．allC．both D．neither13．A.enjoy B．chooseC．appreciate D．prefer14．A.bent B．lookedC．handed D．got15．A.opinions B．adviceC．concept D．remarks16．A.would B．couldC．should D．might17．A.nowhere B．somewhereC．anywhere D．everywhere18．A.like B．as ifC．as though D．as19．A.tried B．intendedC．hoped D．meant20．A.amazing B．surprisingC．annoying D．inspiringⅢ.对话填空阅读下列对话，掌握其大意，并根据上下文填写空白处所需的内容(不多于3个单词)或所提供单词的正确形式。

Some tourists go to see battlefields or religious shrines. Others are looking for culture, or simply want to have their pictures taken in front of famous places. But most European tourists are looking for a sunny beach to lie on.Northern European are willing to pay a lot of money and put up with a lot of inconveniences for the sun because they have so little of it. Residents of cities like London, Copenhagen, and Amsterdam spend a lot of their winter in the dark because the days are so short, and much of the rest of the year in the rain.This is the reason the Mediterranean has always attracted them. Every summer, more than 25 million people travel to Mediterranean resorts and beaches for their vacation. They all come for the same reason: sun!The huge crowds mean lots of money for the economies of Mediterranean countries. Italy's 30，000 hotels are booked solid every summer. And 13 million people camp out on French beaches, parks and roadsides. Spain's long sandy coastline attracts more people than anywhere else. 37 million tourists visit yearly, or_one_tourist_for_every_person_living_in_Spain.But there are signs that the area is getting more tourism than it can handle. The Mediterranean is already one of the most polluted seas on earth. And with increased tourism, it's getting worse. The French can't figure out what to do with all the garbage left by campers around St Tropez. And in many places, swimming is dangerous because of pollution.None of this, however, is spoiling anyone's fun. The Mediterranean gets more popular every year with tourists. Obviously, they don't go there for clean water and solitude. They tolerate traffic jams and seem to like crowded beaches. They don't even mind the pollution. No matter how dirty the water is, the coastline still looks beautiful. And as long as the sun shines, it's still better than sitting in the cold rain in Berlin, London, or Oslo.11. The writer seems to imply that Europeans travel mostly for the reason that________．A．they want to see historic remains or religious spotsB．they are interested in different cultural traditions and social customsC．they would like to take pictures in front of famous sitesD．they wish to escape from the cold, dark and rainy days back at home12.

Do you think this kind of body decoration is attractive or ugly? Different people have different ideas. The following are some examples of body decoration from around the world.In many parts of Africa, it is thought that an attractive girl should have really shiny skin.On Bali, a little island in Indonesia, they believe that a beautiful woman or handsome man must have perfectly straight, flat teeth. The Balinese believe that teeth with pointed edges make you look like an ugly wild animal. So when a girl or boy becomes a teenager, he or she is taken to a special person in their village who will file off teeth points to make them smooth and flat. There is no anesthetic (麻药) and this tooth filing is really painful. It is a kind of test. If you can stand it without screaming or crying too much, then you are thought ready to become an adult.In Myanmar, there is a small group of people who are called the “Papaung”. They believe that a woman can only be really beautiful if she has a long neck. I mean a very long neck. Now you might think that you are either born with a long or short neck and that there's nothing whatever you can do about it. But you would be wrong! At around the age of 5, a Papaung girl has heavy metal rings fitted around her neck, tightly between the chin and shoulders. Each year more rings are added and very, very slowly their weight pushes the shoulders down, in this way making the neck look longer. A Papaung woman will wear her neck rings all her life, never once taking them off.So now I'm sure you will all agree that different people have different ideas about what is beautiful.16．What is mainly talked about in Paragraph 1?A．Women's design.

话题37 克隆（Unit 2 Cloning）晨读背诵When the media report on cloning in the news, they are usually talking about only one type called reproductive cloning. There are different types of cloning however, and cloning technologies can be used for other purposes besides producing the genetic twin of another organism.Scientists have been cloning animals for many years. In 1952, the first animal, a tadpole, was cloned. Before the creation of Dolly, the first mammal cloned from the cell of an adult animal, clones were created from embryonic cells. Since Dolly, researchers have cloned a number of large and small animals including sheep, goats, cows, mice, pigs ,cats, rabbits, and a gaur. All these clones were created using nuclear transfer technology.汉语大意：当媒体报道的克隆的消息，他们通常所说的只有一种称为生殖性克隆的类型。
