Now, some scientists believe that the use of the Internet may be changing our brains. We might learn and interact differently.Why do some scientists believe this? Many people spend hours on the Internet each day. They spend less time doing things that may 22．different parts of their brains. As a result, people lose their social skills. Without using these skills, parts of the brain may become 23．. This could lead to social awkwardness. It might also cause people to spend too much time alone.

These are people in their teens and 20s who have grown up with the Internet.No one is sure about how a person’s 25．affect the brain.

For example, teens become 27．what is OK to post on the Internet.What do teens think of all of this? A 19-year-old boy John Rowe believes that the effect of the Internet depends entirely on the person. Rowe is a “digital native”. He spends between 6 and 12 hours on the Internet each day. For part of that time, he plays games and sends instant 28．to his friends. Has this changed his social skills? He himself says that it has not. He also spends several hours with his friends each day. This gives him a chance to communicate face to face. “If I didn’t actively go out and try to spend time with friends, I wouldn’t have the social skills that I do,”said Rowe. “You can’t just give up on having normal friends that you see each day.”三、用所给单词的正确形式填空29．As doctors, we take pride in our _______.

Today, we are going to perform a play in total darkness—you will hear us but not see us. In our play, David is blind while Cassandra is wearing eye patches for a day, to see what life is like.(lights go out; silence)Scene 1 On a busy street(sounds of people and traffic)Cassandra:(nervously)Da vid? David ...? Ump! I’ve stumbled into a rubbish bin.David: Follow my voice ...Cassandra: Oh ... What’s this? Am I touching a person? Sorry ...David: (laughs) It’s me. Take my arm. We’re going to cross the street to the supermarket. (louder traffic noises: honking)Cassandra: (anxiously) There are too many cars! Isn’t it risky?David: Don’t worry. We’re going to listen for the signal. It’s a chirping noise.(chirping) Do you hear it? There’s one at every pedestrian crossing. It tells blind people when it’s safe to cross. Let’s go.(sound of a bus approaching and braking)Cassandra: Oh no ... is that a bus? Is there enough time for us to cross?David: Yes, the chirping signal will tell us when the light’s about to change. Keep walking ... Scene 2 In the supermarket(supermarket sounds; shopping carts and announcement)David: When we’re blind, we mainly rely on three senses: smell, touch and hearing. Therebecome invaluable when you can’t see.Cassandra: I’m starting to notice sounds that I didn’t before. Like, I never noticed how noisy supermarkets are!David: No kidding! OK, today I’m buying some vegetables and some tinned tuna ... I’m right beside the onions ...Cassandra: I can tell I’m very, very close to the onions because I can smell them ... (excitedly) Yeah, onions!David: OK, there are enough onions in this packet. Now let’s go find the tuna. Cassandra: But ... there are too many kinds of tinned food! How will we know which ones are tuna?David: There are always enough sighted people around to he lp out. Let’s go.

Our brain is like an app on the phone that stores useful photographs for a long time. But it 50 useless photographs. Some people have always been able to recall (回想起) the smallest details about their lives. The experts are now studying Brad Williams and a woman named A．J. The two share the same talent. The goal of the study is to gain a deeper 51 of memory and how it works.Dr. James found 51-year-old Willia ms’ memory to be 52 perfect. He can usually tell you what he did on a certain date 40 years ago. He can also recall what was in the news. He can even tell you what the weather was like.Dr. James had seen this level of ability before. In 2006, he studied a woman named A．J. She too was able to recall tiny details from her life. These details 53 notes she had written in journals decades earlier.However, they view the ability differently. Williams enjoys having his memory tested. A．J however, said her memories often flood her mind in an unpleasant way. “Most have called it a gift, but I call it burden,” A．J wrote. “I run my entire life through my head every day and makes me 54 !!!”Now, doctors are testing Williams and A．J. They want to know what sets the two apart from others. Williams and A．J. both perform well. But they perform best on topics that interest them. This fact causes doubt among some scientists. They suggest that Williams and A．J. are not so special 55 . Some scientists say that people with truly special memories should be able to remember all kinds of information, not just what interests them.Dr. James hopes that his study will provide answers for both those who doubt and those who surprise at what Williams and A．J. are abl e to do. “The human brain is the most important machinery in the known universe,” he said. “My aim is to decrease the mystery of this surprising machinery.”50．A．gives up B．gets rid of C．picks up D．keeps off 51．A．confidence B．entrance C．speed D．understanding 52．A．rarely B．exactly C．nearly D．mainly 53．A．created B．recorded C．added D．matched 54．A．crazy B．excited C．flexible D．pale 55．A．after all B．at present C．in the end D．at a timeSurvey Says? Libraries Lead!You might guess that Americans’ top go-to spot for culture and entertainment would be a movie theater or sports stadium. But a recent study p56．a place doesn't need buttered popcorn to attract visitors.In 2019, the research company did a survey about Americans’ leisure activities. People were asked how often in the last year they had visited certain types of p57．. These included libraries, museums, theme parks, and zoos. Libraries topped over the competition. They got more than twice as many total visits as movie theaters, which landed at number two.Being number one is nothing new for libraries. The findings of a s58．study in 2001 were about the same. But one thing has changed since then. Today, many people can c59．to the Internet. They’re able to read just about anything, just about anywhere. Some people predicted the Internet would make libraries out of date. However, it’s actually part of their popularity. In 2016, a Pew Research Center study found that 29 percent of adults went there to use computers, the Internet, or Wi-Fi. But the most c60．reason people go to the library is to check out books.What books do library-goers borrow the most? The New York Public Library (NYPL) set out to answer this question. In 2020, the library released a list of the most checked-out books in its 125-year history.Three books in the top five are kids’ favorites, i61．Where the Wild Things Are (#4)and The Car in the Hat (#2). The highest honor, meanwhile, goes to The Snowy Day (#1). It's a beautifully illustrated (有插图的) tale about boy exploring city turned into winter wonderland. The book has been checked out almost half a million times.Why are so many children's books on the list? One reason is that they're short. So they’re read and returned f62．. As The Cat in the Hat might put it: a quick-to-read hit comes back lickety-split!十一、回答问题Police officer Dennis was recently patrolling (巡逻) the streets of Newark, New Jersey. Suddenly, he found four men fighting. As he approached, one of the men tried fleeing, but failed. The police horse tracked down the suspect and arrested him.“He thought he was going to get away,” Dennis said. “But you can't outrun these horses.”In Newark and cities across the country, retired racehorses are finding new careersfighting crime. The horses are helping departments with various types of police work. Horses have helped patrol parking lots and schools. They have patrolled city streets. They have chased down criminals.Police officers say retired racehorses make perfect additions to their departments for several reasons.The 1,200-pound horses are effective crime-fighting forces. The mounted (骑马的) police officers used them to arrest thieves. The animals’ natural intelligence helps as well. Horses can be easily trained to perform duties connected with fighting crime. In addition to being intelligent, horses are generally calm animals.The horse must also be able to follow six commands—walk, stop, stand, back up, side left, and side right. If a horse does not meet his department’s needs, it is returned.Most of the horses came from Je nnifer Nagle’s rescue group. The group has found homes for more than 2,000 horses since it was started 20 years ago. However, today’s troubled economy has made the job of Nagle’s group more challenging. Caring for a horse can cost a great deal of money. According to Nagle, the number of horses in need of new homes has multiplied in recent months. Owners used to call her group and offer one horse for adoption. Now, some inquire about finding homes for five or six retired racehorses.The adoption of horses by police departments is a win-win for all. The horses enjoy new homes and companions (同伴). Police departments feel closer to people in the community.“The kids love the horses. A 3-year-old even walked up and petted his police horse.”The animals also have the ability to ease possibly upsetting situations. Another child who had gotten lost during a shopping trip could not find his parents. The police let the child pet the animal until the boy's parents were located. The child wiped away his tears. He just thought the horse was the greatest thing in the world.63．The police horse helped Dennis catch the suspect, didn't it?________________________64．Which phrase in the first paragraph has the same meaning as “run after” ?________________________65．When was Jennifer Nagle’s rescue group started?________________________66．Why does Nagle’s group face more challenges?________________________67．What can police horses do for the kids?________________________68．What makes retired racehorses perfect addition to the police departments? ( List at least 3 advantages)________________________十二、话题作文69．Write at least 60 words on the given situation.（根据以下情境写一篇不少于60个词的短文，标点符号不占格）在美国新泽西这一走丢孩子的眼中，马是世界上最美好的事物。

who was trying to steal an expensive comic book．Michael Wong，24，was wearing a Spiderman costume to attend the annual Asian Festival of Comics at the Sunny Sports Club．He saw the man putting the $350comic book into his sports bag．‘There were about 50people at the festival wearing superhero costumes that day，'said Maddie Tam，the festival organizer．‘We enjoy seeing people dressed up as their favourite characters while they shop for comics．However，we didn't expect to see any of them actually stop a crime．'The thief did not have a chance to escape．While Spiderman took hold of his sweatshirt，several Star Wars characters blocked the exit．After a short struggle，the embarrassed robber gave the book back．‘At first，I thought it was part of the festival，'said Sharon Luk，a rock climbing instructor dressed as Wonder Woman．‘Reading comics is fun but watching superheroes in action is even better．'‘We were rather surprised when we arrived，'said Police Constable Albert Mak．‘It can be easily seen that Spiderman hates to let criminals get away．Maybe he'll be interested in joining the police．'‘Crime﹣fighting is easy for Spiderman，'Mr Wong said，laughing．‘The poor man w as a bit

Turkish culture．They represent an important piece of Turkey's long history and serve as a window into the past．However，these bath houses are quickly 50 because of the changing habits of the Turkish people．Hamams hold a strong place in the history of Turkey and many data back hundreds of years．Traditionally，all kinds of people went to hamams because Islam has strict laws for cleanliness．Believers must wash themselves 51 ，especially before their daily prayers （祷告）．As most people in Turkey didn't have running water in their homes，the Hamam was the perfect place to get clean，relax，and catch up with friends．Today，however，the tradition of going to the hamam is dying out for many young people．Now almost everyone has running water in their bathrooms，so they prefer to bathe at home．52 ，Turkish people are not going to hamams as often as they used to．These days，instead of relying on locals，many hamams are trying to attract foreign tourists．A typical 53 at a hamam can last well over an hour．Visitors will be welcomed into entrance hall．There they will be able to relax with friends and chat over a cup of tea．They will also be able to change into the Turkish towel，which wraps around the waist like a skirt．When ready，visitors will head into the hot room．There they will lie on the hot floor and be scrubbed clean and massaged by one of the in﹣house masseurs or masseuses．Men and women always bathe separately（分开地），but their experiences are very 54 ．Although many hamams are in danger of closing，they will always remain a part of Turkish culture．An experience in one of Istanbul's famous bath houses should not be 55 on any visit to Turkey．It will certainly leave you refreshed，relaxed，and squeaky clean for your next adventure．50．A．developing B．disappearing C．setting up D．falling down 51．A．together B．again C．regularly D．immediately 52．A．In brief B．What's more C．For the time being D．As a result 53．A．process B．program C．case D．essential 54．A．familiar B．similar C．dramatic D．essential 55．A．missed B．gained C．shared D．described．七、单词填空Read the passage and fill in the blanks with proper words（在短文的空格内填入适当的词，使其内容通顺，每空格限填一词，首字母已给）AMAZING RESCUE﹣﹣﹣THANKS TO CELL PHONETwo

Association of Zoos and Aquariums says that there are 12，000privately owned pet tigers in the U．S．A．12，000is a very large number of tigers．It is much more than the number of tigers living in the wild．Scientists think that there are only 2，000or 3，000wild tigers left．Why are there so many pet tigers？One reason is that the price of a baby tiger is quite low，sometimes just 500dollars．Unfortunately，tigers don't make very good pets．Caring for a big cat is very expensive，difficult and dangerous．As baby tigers，they may live inside with their owner，play safely and look very cute．However，when they grow up they cannot be trusted．They still want to attack and bite like a wild tiger．According to big cat trainers，only 1in 8big cats can be trained sufficiently to have contact with humans．That's after training by a professional!For this reason，nearly all pet tigers llive in a cage．Because they must always live in a cage，the life of a pet tiger is sometimes unhappy．They must be locked away so their owner can clean the cage and feed them．It is not safe to touch thetiger．Pet tigers are most often kept for show rather than for companionship（陪伴）．Is that the kind of pet you would want？63．There are more pet tigers than wild tigers in the U．S．A，aren't there？________________.64．How many wild tigers are there in the U．S．A？_______________.65．What might be the reason that there are so many pet tigers？_______________.66．If you have a pet tiger，what should you do to stay safe？_______________.67．Why do most people keep pet tigers？________________.68．Would you like to keep a pet tiger？Why or why not？（Give at least 2reasons．）________________.九、看图作文69．Writing（作文）In 60﹣100words，write a story based on the pictures below．（展开合理想象，看图写一篇60﹣100个词的有趣的短文故事，标点符号不占格）The following

As it , it changed die way we get information. It alsochanged the way we communicate. Now, some scientists believe that the use of the Internet may be changing our brains. We might learn and interact differently.Why do some scientists believe this? Many people spend hours on the Internet each day. They spend less time doing things that may different parts of their brains. As a result, people lose their social skills. Without using these skills, parts of the brain may become . This could lead to social awkwardness. It might also cause people to spend too much time alone. Some scientists say the is strongest in so-called "digital natives". These are people in their teens and 20s who have grown up with the Internet.No one is sure about how a person's affect the brain. Some scientists suggest that Internet use is good for the brain. Mizuko Ito says that by hanging out online with friends, teens leam important skills. For example, teens become what is OK to post on the Internet. What do teens think of all of this? A 19-year-okl boy John Rowe believes that the effect of the Internet depends entirely on the person. Rowe is a "digital native". He spends between 6 and 12 hours on the Internet each day. For part of dial time, he plays games and sends instant to his friends. Has this changed his social skills?He himself says that it has not. He also spends several hours with his friends each day. This gives him a chance to communicate face to face. "If I didn't actively go out and try to spend time with friends, I wouldn't have the social skills that I do" said Rowe.

Libraries Lead!You might guess that Americans' top go-to spot for culture and entertainment would be a movie theater or sports stadium. But a recent study p a place doesn't need buttered popcorn to attract visitors.In 2019, the research company did a survey about Americans' leisure activities. People were asked how often in the last year they had visited certain types of p . These included libraries, museums, theme parks, and zoos. Libraries topped over the competition. They got more than twice as many total visits as movie theaters, which landed at number two. Being number one is nothing new for libraries. The findings of a s study in 2001 were about the same. But one thing has changed since then. Today, many people can c to the Internet. They're able to read just about anything, just about anywhere.Some people predicted the Internet would make libraries out of date. However, it's actually part of their popularity. In 2016, a Pew Research Center study found that 29 percent of adults went there to use computers, the Internet, or Wi-Fi. But the most c reason people go to the library is to check out books.What books do library-goers borrow the most? The New York Public Library (NYPL) set out to answer this question. In 2020, the library released a list of the most check-out books in its 125-year history.Three books in the top five arc kids' favorites, i Where the Wild Things Are (#4) and The Cat in the Hat (#2).

Our brain is like an app onthe phone that stores useful photographs for a long time. But it useless photographs. Some people have always been able to recall (回想起) the smallest details about their lives. The experts are now studying Brad Williams and a woman named A.J. The two share the same talent. The goal of the study is to gain a deeper of memory and how it works.Dr. James found 51-year-old Williams' memory to be perfect. He can usually tell you what he did on a certain date 40 years ago. He can also recall what was in the news. He can even tell you what the weather was like.Dr. James had seen this level of ability before. In 2006, he studied a woman named A.J. She too was able to recall tiny details from her life. These details notes she had written in journals decades earlier.However, they view the ability differently. Williams enjoys having his memory tested. A.J., however, said her memories often flood her mind in an unpleasant way. "Most have called it a gift, but I call it a burden," A.J. wrote. "I run my entire life through my head every day and it makes me !!!"Now, doctors are testing Williams and A.J. They want to know what sets the two apart from others.Williams and A.J. both perform well. But they perform best on topics that interest them. This fact causes doubt among some scientists. They suggest that Williams and A.J. are not so special . Some scientists say that people with truly special memories should be able to remember all kinds of information, not just what interests them.Dr. James hopes that his study will provide answers for both those who doubt and those who surprise at what Williams and A.J. are able to do.

It seems crazy to charge 6 pounds for a bag of leaves.This isn't the first time that English shops and supermarkets（10）______ （make）newsheadlines for selling free things at high prices.

In this way, math helps people learn and communicate, even if other coimmunostain obstacles exist.Of course,not everyone agrees that mathematics is a language.

Italy's national under-16 swimming championship was taking place in Genoa and the boys were going to compete there.14-year-old Marco Sulis looked around for his teammates. Their coach sat near them. While preparing for take-off, the flight attendant began her routine safety briefing. Most of the passengers idled away the time engaging in chatting and eating. Although air crashes are alien to Marco, he, who perceived how vital the process was, would later remember all her words. During the flight, as earlier instructed, he located the nearest emergency exit and made a mental note of the red handle behind a protective plastic shield. To open the door, one had to remove the plastic and pull the handle.Flanked by mountains to the north, the airport is often battered by strong winds. Flight 1553 was a short one. The sky that day was crystalline blue and visibility was perfect.At two minutes to touchdown, the plane rocked, which was later found to be out of mechanical faults. Soon, it touched down precariously on two wheels. The captain attempted to reduce the airplane's speed by braking hard but it was no use. Slipping sideways, the plane rushed out into the sea at high speed.Tons of water poured into the cabin. Passengers were shouting and rushing towards the emergency exit door. Marco watched people struggle with the door fruitlessly."Let me do it!" Marco yelled, leaping out of his seat.Marco smashed the clear plastic with the palm of his hand. He grabbed the handle and pulled, using all the strength in his body. The emergency exit door finally swung open. However, the emergency door pinned Marco's leg down. Passengers passed Marco as they rushed out of the plane. Already soaking in water, Marco knew there was no time to waste. He pushed against the door as hard as he could and managed to free his leg. Marco exited from the plane finally and saw his coach and teammates bobbing in the waves. He began swimming towards the concrete pier（码头）.The others followed.When they reached the pier, they were safe at last. Even though four people were killed in the accident, many more survived because of Marco. Marco just simply said, "All I did was to watch safety briefing."17.Why did Marco remember the safety briefing？______A. Because he used to meet with an air accident.B. Because he is excellent at remembering things.C. Because he was not used to eating and chatting on board.D. Because he realized the importance of flight safety measures.18.Which of the following statements is TRUE？______A. Marco was the passenger sitting nearest to the emergency exit.B. The weather condition was good for flying on the day of the accident.C. The plane went wrong above in sky because of the battering of wind.D. The pilot braked and finally managed to slow down the plane.19.Why didn't Marco leave the plane as soon as the exit door was opened？______A. Because he was trying to keep the exit door open for other passengers.B. Because he was looking for the coach and teammates in the plane.C. Because one part of his body was stuck tight.D. Because he was afraid of the sea water outside the plane.20.Many people were finally saved mainly because ______ .A. the crash on the runway was not seriousB. Marco managed to open the exit doorC. they knew how to swim in the sea waterD. they received help from staff at concrete pierENicaragua is a land of opportunity for travelers. There are vast and varied activities one can have in this country.Hike Up the Mombacho VolcanoThis two-hour hike isn't going to be an easy one, but it is a rewarding experience and will get your heart racing. You can look forward to beautiful views of several of the four craters, spotting wildlife, and enjoying the cooler temperature. In case of any encounter with some fierce creatures, it is recommended that you hire a tour guide at the welcome center who knows how to react at an emergency.Horseback Riding in the Cloud ForestsHorseback riding in the lush Nicaraguan countryside isn't something to miss. To prevent any danger a suspicious horse might bring, you have to book a packaged tour through a legal agency and then accompanied by a groom, you can enjoy a morning or afternoon exploring the backroads right outside the city of Granada. The best part of this experience is a visit to the Apoyo Lagoon, a nature reserve that originated about 23, 000 years ago. With a beautiful lake, it is a welcomed respite after riding in the hot sun for hours. Be sure to pack a bathing suit.Sunbathe in the Corn IslandsNot all activities have to be adrenaline-inducing. Take a break and enjoy the sunshine on the Corn Islands. The islands are about 43 miles off the coast of Nicaragua and consist of Big Corn Island and Little Corn Island. Sunny, with warm weather year round, these islands make for the perfect vacation. Visitors can enjoy lazy beach days by the crystal blue waters of the Caribbean Sea.Volcano Board at Cerro NegroFor those who dare to try Volcano boarding there's no better place than Cerro Negro. Cerro Negro is still an active volcano that last erupted in 1999 and is monitored closely by the Nicaraguan Seismic Network to prepare for the immediate evacuation in case of eruptions. When the volcano is behaving itself; it is the perfect playground for adventurers.Whichever tour company you book, you will need to be prepared to carry your board. The summit, from which you will board down, is about 2,388 feet, a height ideal for the activity. After a quick compulsory tutorial of what to do, you will put on your "flight suit", gird your loins, and descend down the volcano. The entire experience is about three to five minutes, depending on whether you stop or roll off your board.21.The underlined word evacuation is closest in meaning to ______.A. demonstrationB. withdrawalC. punishmentD. entertainment22.Which of the following statements is TRUE according to the passage?A. A tour guide is suggested for Mombacho hiking to strengthen wildness experience.B. The experience at the Apoyo Lagoon reserve is as tiring as the horseback riding.C. Cerro Negro is perfect for volcano board because it is still active.D. Visitors must receive training before actually boarding from Cerro Negro peak.23.On which page of a newspaper can you find the passage?A. Sports.B. Advertisement.C. Business.D. Travel.FIf you've ever taken a class in drawing, painting or pottery and in spite of your best effort, couldn't make the final result look anything like the model shown, you may have thought, "I don't have a creative bone in my body."According to some scientists, who for the past 20 years have put the elusive subject of creativity through the rigors of research, you are underrating yourself. Da Vinci you may never be, but when it comes to creativity, we are all somewhat blessed. It's learning to foster this unique tool of extraordinary productivity, and then applying it in everything you do, that counts to tell you from figures like Da Vinci."Even if we don't have the good fortune to discover a new chemical element or write a great story, the love of the creative process for its own sake is available to all," says Mihaly Csikszentmihalyi in Creativity：Flow and Psychology of Discovery and Invention.Most people believe the realm of creativity has been awarded to those perceived to have special talent. We look upon these "creative geniuses," as we often call them,with awe and a bit of envy. Their abilities,most people assume,are bestowed by good genes,or,as if in Greek mythology,from some kind of divine inspiration.There is no argument that the world is never short of highly talented and creative people. They are masters of their trades and stand heads-and-shoulders above commoners,making new pathways for others to follow,and providing greater context and understanding of our world. It could be said that without creativity humanity would not evolve so rapidly.But like a publicly recognized creative baseball player who hones his skill through years of continuous training, foregoing other pursuits for the sole passion, people who show the slightest reluctance for arduous labor are bound to witness their boasted ability disappear.After closely studying 91 creative and influential people, including novelists, playwrights, composers, musicians and scientists, Csikszentmihalyi concludes that no one would ignore the sweat they shed and their almost insane willingness to follow their creative endeavor to the very end, wherever that may be. These are the very things we all can master, so long as we'd like to.24.It's widely believed that creativity comes from ______ .A. good training people receive from artistic classesB. the tool we learn from masters like Da VinciC. the inborn genes or relevant giftsD. certain Greek historical textbooks25.Which of the following statements is TRUE according to the passage？______A. Common people rather than creative ones lead in various professions.B. People's admiration of geniuses makes humanity develop quickly.C. The field of baseball requires more gifts than hard work.D. The essence of creativity lies in devotion and effort.26.The underlined word " foregoing" is closest in meaning to ______ .A. giving upB. combiningC. referring toD. extending27.What is the passage mainly about？______A. How ordinary people and scientists view things differently.B. People's misunderstanding of creativity and its true nature.C. The reasons for the development of various trades and humanity.D. Ordinary people's unwillingness to follow the examples of creative ones.Every dog owner knows that saying Good dog! A happy, high-pitched voice will bring about a flurry of joyful tail wagging in their pet.That makes scientists curious. What exactly happens in your dog's brain when it hears praise？And is it similar to the way our own brain processes such acoustic information？When a person gets a compliment, the more primitive subcortical（皮下的）auditory regions first react to the intonation（声调），the emotional force of spoken words. Next, the brain taps the more recently evolved auditory cortex（皮质）to figure out the meaning of the words, which is learned.（1）______ Of course, dogs use their right brain hemisphere to do so, whereas we use our left hemisphere. Still, a mystery remains. Do their brains go through the same steps to processapproval？It's an important question. Dogs are speechless species（2）______ For instance, some dogs are able to recognize thousands of names of individual objects. They can even link each name to a specific object.When the scientists studied scans of the brains of pet dogs, they found that theirs, like ours, processed the sounds of spoken words in a multi-step manner. They analyze first the emotional component with the older region of the brain, the subcortical regions. Subsequently, they deal with the words' meaning with the newer part, the cortex.Previous studies have shown that many animals, from songbirds to dolphins, use the subcortex to process emotional hints.（3）______ Zebras, for instance, can eavesdrop on the emotion, or fright to be precise, in other herbivore（食草动物）animals′ calls. In this way they learn if predators are nearby.It's likely that human language evolved from such hints. We employ the same neurological systems to develop speech.（4）______ Dogs have the very likeliness to make special use of the ancient connection to process human emotions. It helps explain why dogs are so successful at partnering with us and at times manipulating us with those soulful eyes.A. It is widely recognized that the dog has a complex structure of brain, similar, in a way, to that of human's.B. But they respond correctly to our words.C. Animals are found to have adopted various mechanisms to defend against enemies.D. They are capable of obtaining mood implications even though they can't talk.E. It has been discovered that dogs' brains, like those of humans, compute the intonation and meaning separately.F. Domesticated animals have evolved alongside humans for the past thousands of years.28.

Summarize the main idea and the main point（s）of the passage in no more than 60 words. Use your own words as far as possible.Surveys indicate that a third of Britons regularly eat on their own. OpenTable, an online restaurant booking app, found that solo dining in New York increased by 80% during the past 5 years. And in Japan, the world capital of solo dining, a trend for "low interaction dining" has taken off. Restaurants are opening which facilitate the ultimate solo dining experience：passing bowls of noodles through black curtains into individual booths.Is this a worrying trend？We think so. Research is revealing the negative impacts of eating alone, which has been found to be linked to a variety of mental and physical health conditions, from depression and diabetes to high blood pressure.So it's cheering that hundreds of food sharing initiatives have sprung up around the world.There's London's Casserole Club, for example, whose volunteers share portions ofhome-cooked food with people in their area who aren't always able to cook for themselves, in which case they put an end to food waste. Or there is South Africa's Food Jams, social gatherings in which participants are paired up, preferably with strangers, and given aportion of the meal to prepare. Many participants interviewed mentioned that theirloneliness was greatly relieved. Such initiatives offer lessons of all kinds to those thinking about how our food systems need to change. They also somewhat compensate for theundesirable outcomes sole eating brings.So why do people stop eating together？There are a variety of reasons. Authors such as Michael Pollan argue that it is due to the fact that people attach less value to home-based labor, including cooking.

Marco yelled,leaping out of his seat.Marco smashed the clear plastic with the palm of his hand.He grabbed the handle and pulled,using all the strength in his body.The emergency exit door finally swungopen.However,the emergency door pinned Marco's leg down.Passengers passed Marco as they rushed out of the plane.Already soaking in water,Marco knew there was no time to waste.He pushed against the door as hard as he could and managed to free his leg.Marco exited from the plane finally and saw his coach and teammates bobbing in the waves.He began swimming towards the concrete pier（码头）.The others followed.When they reached the pier,they were safe at last.Even though four people were killed in the accident,many more survived because of Marco.Marco just simply said, "All I did was to watch safety briefing."（1）Why did Marco remember the safety briefing？ ___A.Because he used to meet with an air accident.B.Because he is excellent at remembering things.C.Because he was not used to eating and chatting on board.D.Because he realized the importance of flight safety measures.（2）Which of the following statements is TRUE？ ___A.Marco was the passenger sitting nearest to the emergency exit.B.The weather condition was good for flying on the day of the accident.C.The plane went wrong above in sky because of the battering of wind.D.The pilot braked and finally managed to slow down the plane.（3）Why didn't Marco leave the plane as soon as the exit door was opened？ ___A.Because he was trying to keep the exit door open for other passengers.B.Because he was looking for the coach and teammates in the plane.C.Because one part of his body was stuck tight.D.Because he was afraid of the sea water outside the plane.（4）Many people were finally saved mainly because ___ .A.the crash on the runway was not seriousB.Marco managed to open the exit doorC.they knew how to swim in the sea waterD.they received help from staff at concrete pier18.（填空）Nicaragua is a land of opportunity for travelers. There are vast and varied activities one can have in this country.Hike Up the Mombacho VolcanoThis two-hour hike isn't going to be an easy one,but it is a rewarding experience and will get your heart racing. You can look forward to beautiful views of several of the four craters, spotting wildlife, and enjoying the cooler temperature. In case of any encounter with some fierce creatures, it is recommended that you hire a tour guide at the welcome center who knows how to react at an emergency.Horseback Riding in the Cloud ForestsHorseback riding in the lush Nicaraguan countryside isn't something to miss. To prevent any danger a suspicious horse might bring, you have to book a packaged tour through a legal agency and then accompanied by a groom,you can enjoy a morning or afternoon exploring the backroads right outside the city of Granada. The best part of this experience is a visit to the Apoyo Lagoon,a nature reserve that originated about 23，000 years ago. With a beautiful lake,it is a welcomed respite after riding in the hot sun for hours. Be sure to pack a bathing suit.Sunbathe in the Corn IslandsNot all activities have to be adrenaline-inducing. Take a break and enjoy the sunshine on the Corn Islands. The islands are about 43 miles off the coast of Nicaragua and consist of Big Corn Island and Little Corn Island. Sunny, with warm weather year round, these islands make for the perfect vacation. Visitors can enjoy lazy beach days by the crystal blue waters of the Caribbean Sea.Volcano Board at Cerro NegroFor those who dare to try Volcano boarding there's no better place than Cerro Negro. Cerro Negro is still an active volcano that last erupted in 1999 and is monitored closely by the Nicaraguan Seismic Network to prepare for the immediate evacuation in case of eruptions. When the volcano is behaving itself； it is the perfect playground for adventurers.Whichever tour company you book,you will need to be prepared to carry your board. The summit,from which you will board down,is about 2，388 feet,a height ideal for the activity. After a quick compulsory tutorial of what to do,you will put on your "flight suit"，gird your loins,and descend down the volcano. The entire experience is about three to fiveminutes,depending on whether you stop or roll off your board.（1）The underlined word evacuation is closest in meaning to___ .A. demonstrationB. withdrawalC. punishmentD. entertainment（2）Which of the following statements is TRUE according to the passage？___A. A tour guide is suggested for Mombacho hiking to strengthen wildness experience.B. The experience at the Apoyo Lagoon reserve is as tiring as the horseback riding.C.

Visitors must receive training before actually boarding from Cerro Negro peak.（3）A person who likes taking charge of everything on his own in travel will most likely goto___ .A. the Mombacho VolcanoB. the Cloud ForestsC. the Corn IslandsD. Cerro Negro19.（填空）If you've ever taken a class in drawing,painting or pottery and in spite of your best effort,couldn't make the final result look anything like the model shown,you may have thought, "I don't have a creative bone in my body."According to some scientists,who for the past 20 years have put the elusive subject of creativity through the rigors of research,you are underrating yourself.Da Vinci you may never be,but when it comes to creativity,we are all somewhat blessed.It's learning to foster this unique tool of extraordinary productivity,and then applying it in everything you do,that counts to tell you from figures like Da Vinci."Even if we don't have the good fortune to discover a new chemical element or write a great story,the love of the creative process for its own sake is available to all," says Mihaly Csikszentmihalyi in Creativity：Flow and Psychology of Discovery and Invention.Most people believe the realm of creativity has been awarded to those perceived to have special talent.We look upon these "creative geniuses," as we often call them,with awe and a bit of envy.Their abilities,most people assume,are bestowed by good genes,or,as if in Greek mythology,from some kind of divine inspiration.There is no argument that the world is never short of highly talented and creative people.They are masters of their trades and stand heads-and-shoulders above commoners,making new pathways for others to follow,and providing greater context and understanding of our world.It could be said that without creativity humanity would not evolve so rapidly.But like a publicly recognized creative baseball player who hones his skill through years of continuous training, foregoing other pursuits for the sole passion,people who show the slightest reluctance for arduous labor are bound to witness their boasted ability disappear.After closely studying 91 creative and influential people,includingnovelists,playwrights,composers,musicians and scientists,Csikszentmihalyi concludes that no one would ignore the sweat they shed and their almost insane willingness to follow their creative endeavor to the very end,wherever that may be.These are the very things we all canmaster,so long as we'd like to.（1）It's widely believed that creativity comes from___ .A.good training people receive from artistic classesB.the tool we learn from masters like Da VinciC.the inborn genes or relevant giftsD.certain Greek historical textbooks（2）Which of the following statements is TRUE according to the passage？___mon people rather than creative ones lead in various professions.B.People's admiration of geniuses makes humanity develop quickly.C.The field of baseball requires more gifts than hard work.D.The essence of creativity lies in devotion and effort.（3）The underlined word "foregoing" is closest in meaning to___ .A.giving upbiningC.referring toD.extending（4）What is the passage mainly about？___A.How ordinary people and scientists view things differently.B.People's misunderstanding of creativity and its true nature.C.The reasons for the development of various trades and humanity.D.Ordinary people's unwillingness to follow the examples of creative ones.20.（填空）Every dog owner knows that saying Good dog!A happy,high-pitched voice will bring about a flurry of joyful tail wagging in their pet.That makes scientists curious.What exactly happens in your dog's brain when it hears praise？And is it similar to the way our own brain processes such acoustic information？When a person gets a compliment,the more primitive subcortical（皮下的）auditory regions first react to the intonation（声调），the emotional force of spoken words.Next,the brain taps the more recently evolved auditory cortex（皮质）to figure out the meaning of thewords,which is learned.（1）___ Of course,dogs use their right brain hemisphere to do so,whereas we use our left hemisphere.Still,a mystery remains.Do their brains go through the same steps to process approval？It's an important question.Dogs are speechless species（2）___ For instance,some dogs are able to recognize thousands of names of individual objects.They can even link each name to aspecific object.When the scientists studied scans of the brains of pet dogs,they found that theirs,likeours,processed the sounds of spoken words in a multi-step manner.They analyze first the emotional component with the older region of the brain,the subcorticalregions.Subsequently,they deal with the words' meaning with the newer part,the cortex.Previous studies have shown that many animals,from songbirds to dolphins,use the subcortex to process emotional hints.（3）___ Zebras,for instance,can eavesdrop on the emotion,or fright to be precise,in other herbivore（食草动物）animals′ calls.In this way they learn if predators are nearby.It's likely that human language evolved from such hints.We employ the same neurological systems to develop speech.（4）___ Dogs have the very likeliness to make special use of the ancient connection to process human emotions.It helps explain why dogs are so successful at partnering with us and at times manipulating us with those soulful eyes.A.It is widely recognized that the dog has a complex structure of brain,similar,in a way,to that of human's.B.But they respond correctly to our words.C.Animals are found to have adopted various mechanisms to defend against enemies.D.They are capable of obtaining mood implications even though they can't talk.E.It has been discovered that dogs' brains,like those of humans,compute the intonation and meaning separately.F.Domesticated animals have evolved alongside humans for the past thousands of years.21.（问答）Directions： Read the following passage. Summarize the main idea and the main point（s） of the passage in no more than 60 words. Use your own words as far as possible.Surveys indicate that a third of Britons regularly eat on their own. OpenTable, an online restaurant booking app, found that solo dining in New York increased by 80% during the past 5 years. And in Japan, the world capital of solo dining, a trend for "low interaction dining" has taken off. Restaurants are opening which facilitate the ultimate solo dining experience：passing bowls of noodles through black curtains into individual booths.Is this a worrying trend？ We think so. Research is revealing the negative impacts of eating alone, which has been found to be linked to a variety of mental and physical health conditions, from depression and diabetes to high blood pressure.So it's cheering that hundreds of food sharing initiatives have sprung up around the world. There's London's Casserole Club, for example, whose volunteers share portions of home-cooked food with people in their area who aren't always able to cook for themselves, in which case they put an end to food waste. Or there is South Africa's Food Jams, social gatherings in which participants are paired up, preferably with strangers, and given a portion of the meal to prepare. Many participants interviewed mentioned that their loneliness was greatly relieved. Such initiatives offer lessons of all kinds to those thinking about how our food systems need to change. They also somewhat compensate for the undesirable outcomes sole eating brings.So why do people stop eating together？ There are a variety of reasons. Authors such as Michael Pollan argue that it is due to the fact that people attach less value to home-based labor,including cooking. The widening of the workforce, which brought many women out of the kitchen and into the workplace during the 20th century, also contributed. Meanwhile, the growth in insecure and inconsistent working patterns among a growing proportion of the population also discourages meals eaten communally.22.（问答）这类复杂的问题不是一朝一夕就能解决的。

Summarize the main idea and the main point（s）of the passage inno more than 60 words. Use your own words as far as possible.Surveys indicate that a third of Britons regularly eat on their own. OpenTable, an online restaurant booking app, found that solo dining in New York increased by 80% during the past 5 years. And in Japan, the world capital of solo dining, a trend for "low interaction dining" has taken off. Restaurants are opening which facilitate the ultimate solo dining experience：passing bowls of noodles through black curtains into individual booths.Is this a worrying trend？We think so. Research is revealing the negative impacts of eating alone, which has been found to be linked to a variety of mental and physical health conditions, from depression and diabetes to high blood pressure.So it's cheering that hundreds of food sharing initiatives have sprung up around the world. There's London's Casserole Club, for example, whose volunteers share portions of home-cooked food with people in their area who aren't always able to cook for themselves, in which case they put an end to food waste. Or there is SouthAfrica's Food Jams, social gatherings in which participants are paired up, preferably with strangers, and given a portion of the meal to prepare. Many participants interviewed mentioned that their loneliness was greatly relieved. Such initiatives offer lessons of all kinds to those thinking about how our food systems need to change.They also somewhat compensate for the undesirable outcomes sole eating brings.So why do people stop eating together？There are a variety of reasons. Authors such as Michael Pollan argue that it is due to the fact that people attach less value to home-based labor, including cooking. The widening of the workforce, which brought many women out of the kitchen and into the workplace during the 20th century, also contributed. Meanwhile, the growth in insecure and inconsistent working patterns among a growing proportion of the population also discourages meals eaten communally.17.这类复杂的问题不是一朝一夕就能解决的。
