During the 19th century, scientists found that when certain parts of the brain of a person were hurt, he would lose the power of doingcertain things. And so people thought that each part of the brain does a different job. But modem research discovered that this is not so, for it is not easy to show exactly what each part of the brain does.In the past fifty years there has been a great increase in the amount of research done on the brain. Scientists have found out the way the brain works is not so simple as people in general may think. Chemists fell us that about 100 000 chemical changes take place in the brain every second. Some recent researches also suggest that we can remember everything that happens to us. We, may not be able to think of the things we have heard and seen, but it is kept there in the storehouse ( 宝库 ) of the humanbrain. Earlier scientists thought that is not true. As long as the brain is given plenty of exercise, it keeps its power. It has been proved that an old person who has always been active in the mind has a quicker mind than a young person who has only done physical work without using much of his brain.(1).

People landing at London''s Heathrow airport have something newto look at as they fly over Britain''s capital city. It is attractive, simple and a little strange. The Millennium Dome ( 千禧穹 )is a huge semi-circle of plastic and steel and it contains the largest public space in the world. It has been built to house an exhibition of all that is best in British life, learning and leisure.The Millennium Dome was designed by Sir Richard Rogers, one ofBritain''s most famous architects ( 建筑师 ) . His work points the way to new developments in building. Think of it as a giant symbolof the buildings in which we will all be living and working in the near-future.Buildings are also a part of history. They express the culture ofthe times. Sir Richard Rogers is aware of this responsibility. While different designers have individual styles, their work also has a common style. That is: to express the values of the information age. What is an "information age" building? The Dome is a good example. After theMillennium exhibition ends, it will be used for another purpose. Just as people no longer have "jobs for life", modem buildings are designed for a number of different uses. Another Richard Roger''s building, the PompidouCenter in France, uses the idea that information is communication. Instead of being hidden in the walls, heating pipes and elevators are open to public view. The PompidouCenter is a very honest building. It tells you how it works.(1). The Millennium Dome has been originally built to holdan exhibition ( )A. of different building designsB. .of everything that can draw the attention of people C.of the finest things in BritainD.of recent developments in information technology(2). The sentence "His work points the way to new developments in building"(Para.2) implies that the designer Sir Richard Rogers ( )A. has developed a new set of building standardsB.strictly follows the tradition in his work C.is a pioneer architect of his ageD.is the father of modem architecture(3). Sir Richard Rogers clearly knows mat it is his duty to ( )A. create something out of a unique styleB.house those people who will often change their jobs C.make his buildings historic onesD.construct a building that can meet the changes of the modem age(4). The PompidouCenter in France is outstanding in the fact that ( )A. people in it are able to visit each other convenientlyB.visitors can see clearly the structure and facilities of the whole buildingC.it makes use of the best techniques invented in the information ageD.it was designed and built by an honest British designer(5). This short passage mainly tells us about ( )A. the unique contribution of a famous architectB.modem buildings of various stylesC.a few developments in house-buildingD.the common features of British and French buildings4. One Sunday, Mark decided to go sailing in his boat with hisfriendDan, but Dan happened to be away. Dan''s brother John offered to goinstead though he did not know anything about sailing. Mark agreed and they set out to sea.Soon they found themselves in a thick fog. Mark was sure they would be hit by a big ship.
