Word had gone round during the day that old Major, the prize Middle White pig, had had a strange dream on the previous night and wished to communicate it to the other animals. It had been agreed that they should all meet in the big barn(谷仓) as soon as Mr.Jones was safely out of the way.At one end of the big barn, Major lay on his bed of straw comfortably. He was twelve years old and had lately grown rather heavy, but he was still a nice­looking pig, with a wise and easy­going appearance. Before long the other animals began toarrive and make themselves comfortable after their different fashions. First came the three dogs, Bluebell, Jessie, and Pincher, and then the pigs, who settled down in the straw immediately beside Major. The two cart­horses, Boxer and Clover, came in together, walking very slowly and setting down their vast hairy hoofs(蹄子) with great care for fear that there should be some small animals hidden in the straw. Clover was a motherly big horse approaching middle life, who had never quite got her figure back after her fourth kid.Boxer was an enormous beast, nearly eighteen hands high, and as strong as any two ordinary horses put together. A white stripe down his nose gave him a somewhat stupid appearance, and in fact he was not of first­rate intelligence, but he was well respected for his steadiness of character and extraordinary abilities. After the horses came Benjamin, the donkey, Benjamin got angry easily. He seldom talked, and when he did, it was usually to make all such remarks—for instance, he would say that God had given him a tail to keep the flies off, but that he would rather have had no tail and no flies. Alone among the animals on the farm he never laughed. If asked why, he would say that he saw nothing to laugh at.16．All the animals came to the barn to ________．A．vote for a farm masterB．listen to Major's strange dreamC．discuss how to win a prizeD．share how to drive Mr. Jones away17．According to the passage, Clover was ________．A．considerate and in good shapeB．old­aged and out of shapeC．a fat horse with a gentle heartD．a pretty horse with a nice character18．What earned Boxer high respect?A．His strong build and great wisdom.B．His calm character and great powers of work.C．His good temper and strong build.D．His steady character and quick mind.19．Which remark could be to Benjamin's taste?A．Life is like a box of sweets.B．Life is an interesting journey.C．Life is a battle.D．There is nothing exciting in life.B[2012·福建卷]Do you know how it is when you see someone yawn and you start yawning too? Or how hard it is to be among people laughing and not laugh yourself? Well, apparently it's because we have mirror neurons(神经元)in our brains.Put simply, the existence of mirror neurons suggests that every time we see someone else do something, our brains imitate(模仿)it, whether or not we actually perform the same action. This explains a great deal about how we learn to smile, talk, walk, dance or play sports. But the idea goes further: mirror neurons not onlyappear to explain physical actions, they also tell us that there is a biological basis for the way we understand other people.Mirror neurons can undoubtedly be found all over our brains, but especially in the areas which relate to our ability to use languages, and to understand how other people feel. Researchers have found that mirror neurons relate strongly to language.A group of researchers discovered that if they gave people sentences to listen to(for example：“The hand took hold of the ball”), the same mirror neurons were triggered as when the action was actually performed(in this example, actually taking hold of a ball)．Any problems with mirror neurons may well result in problems with behavior. Much research suggests that people with social and behavioral problems have mirror neurons which are not fully functioning. However, it is not yet known exactly how these discoveries might help find treatments for social disorders.Research into mirror neurons seems to provide us with ever more information concerning how humans behave and interact(互动)．Indeed, it may turn out to be the equivalent(相等物)for neuroscience of what Einstein's theory of relativity was for physics. And the next time you feel the urge to cough in the cinema when someone else does—well, perhaps you'll understand why.20．Mirror neurons can explain ________．A．why we cry when we are hurtB．why we cough when we suffer from a coldC．why we smile when we see someone else smileD．why we yawn when we see someone else stay up late21．The underlined word “triggered” in the third paragraph probably means “________”．A．set off B．cut offC．built up D．broken up22．We can learn from the passage that mirror neurons ________．A．relate to human behavior and interactionB．control human physical actions and feelingsC．result in bad behavior and social disordersD．determine our knowledge and language abilities23．What is the passage mainly about?A．Ways to find mirror neurons.B．Problems of mirror neurons.C．Existence of mirror neurons.D．Functions of mirror neurons.Ⅲ.短文改错Nowadays more and more people are concerning about their health, but how to keep health? First, it is necessary to take any exercise every day.Research shows that get plenty of exercise makes the heart beat fast and the lungs work harder.Second, eat more fruits, vegetable and less meat.Third, getting rid of bad habits as smoking and drinking is also important way to keep healthy. Smoking and alcohol drinking injures one's health a great deal,and therefore should be given up. If people follow these three ways of keeping fit, they'll great improve their health.课时作业(二十三)Ⅰ.1.C 考查非谓语动词。

Organizers said the voyage was made to protect Taiwanese fishing rightsin nearby waters and to protest Japan's “purchase” of part of the Diaoyu Islands.The Japanese government announced a plan to “purchase” part of the islands earlier this month despite repeated protests from the Chinese government. The action aroused demonstrations across China as well as consumers' boycott of Japanese products in recent weeks. Local authorities in Taiwan have also protested the move.“Japan's purchase and nationalization of China's Diaoyu Islands is putting China­Japan economic and trade ties at risk due to man­made factors.” An official spokesman from Beijing warned.China­Japan economic and trade relations were back on track in 1952 when the two countries signed their first non­governmental trade agreement. Currently, China has been Japan's largest trade partner since 2007 while Japan is China'sfourth largest trade partner, after the EU，U.S. and the ASEAN. Meanwhile, Chinais the biggest destination for Japanese exports and biggest source of imports. In the first half of 2012, Japan's exports to China totaled 73.54 billion U．S. dollars, down 6.2 percent from the same period last year, while its import from China was 91.29 billion U．S. dollars, up 7 percent from the same period last year.Now, China­Japan economic and tr ade relations are at a crossroads.

There's no excuse for not trying.”This was not the first presidential speech to students.Ronald Reagan spoke from the White House in 1988.And George H．W.Bush spoke from a school in Washington in 1991.But many conservatives(保守者) criticized plans for the speech.Some called it“socialized education”or federal interfe rence(干预) in local schools.Others feared it would be too political. Some schools decided notto show the speech.But the White House released (发布)the text on Monday，and that calmed a lot of critics.On Sunday，on the CBS program“Face the Nation”，Untied States Secretary of Education Arne Duncan said 30 percent of students do not graduate from high school.He called the dropout rate“staggering(令人吃惊的)”．It represents more than a million students every year who entered ninth grade but did not plete 12th grade.语篇导读：本文是一篇新闻报道，主要介绍了美国总统奥巴马发表电视演讲，呼吁学生们克服困难，继续学业，人们对演讲有不同的评价。

B．4.C．5. D．6.6．It seems that the writer________.A．is familiar with the education system of high schools in KoreaB．is fond of Korean students’ appearanceC．prefers the high school life of America to the one of KoreaD．feels it common to have lessons on weekends7．What does the underlined word “setup” in paragraph 5 probably mean?A．Arrangement. B．Size.C．Number. D．Outline.8．According to the rules，the students of Korea can________.A．go to different high schools without examsB．wear any clothes except uniforms at schoolC．attend different classes as they likeD．have different hair styles答案：课时作业(二十四)Ⅰ.单项填空1．解析：考查交际用语。
