For example, as you try to remember where you left your keys, you might recall you last had them in the living room, which reminds you that there was an ad for soap on television, which reminds you that you need soap,and so on. And then, as you’re heading out of the door to buy soap, you rememb er that your keys are on the kitchen counter. Your brain knew where the keys were all along. It just took a round-about way to get there.Now, scientists at the Salk Institute for Biological Studies are studying associative memory in monkeys to figure out just how this complicated process works.First, the researchers trained a group of monkeys to remember arbitrary(任意的) pairs of symbols. The researchers showed the monkeys one symbol(cold weather) and then gave them the choice of two other symbols, one of which (a hat) would be associated with the first. A correct choice would earn them a sip of their favorite juice.Most of the monkeys performed the test perfectly, but one kept making mistakes.“We wondered what happened in the brain when the monkey made th e wrong choice, although it apparently learned the right pairing of symbols,” said study leader Thomas Albright.Albright and his team observed signals from the nerve cells in the monkey’s inferior temporal cortex (ITC), an area of its brain used for visual pattern recognition and for storing this type of memory.As the monkey was deciding which symbol to choose, about a quarter of the activity in the ITC was due to the choice behavior.Meanwhile, more than half the activity was in a different group of nerve cells, which scientists believe represent the monkey’s memory of the correct symbol pairing, and surprisingly, these cells continued to fire even when the monkey chose the wrong symbol.“In this sense, the cells ‘knew’ more than the monkeys let on in the ir behavior,” Albright said. “Thus, behavior may vary, but knowledge endures.”57．The example of the keys and soap is given to explain the relationship between __________.A．memory lapse and human brain B．memory and associationC．memory and television ads D．memory and our daily life 58．Which of the following best expresses the general idea of the text?A．Your brain may forget something, but not always.B．Activity is a round-about way to memory.C．Your brain remembers what you forget.D．Monkeys have better memory than us.59．The researchers believe the monkey that made the wrong choice ________.A．also knew the correct answer B．had the worst memoryC．failed to see the objects well D．had some trouble with its nerve system60．The underlined word “endures” may be best replaced by __________.A．disappears B．increases C．improves D．remains2、参考答案-------BCAD***************************************************************结束16. _____ teacher of my grandfathers will come tomorrow .

Ideally, experiments should play as big a role in the human sciences as they do in the natural sciences; but in practice this is not usually the case. The are at least three reasons for this.1．Human scientists are often trying to make sense of complex real world situations in which it is simply impossible to run controlled experiment.2．The artificiality of some of the experiments that can be conducted may make the behavior of the participants abnormal.3．There are moral reasons for not conducting experiments that have a negative effect on the people who participate in them.Faced with the above difficulties, what are human scientists to do? One solution is to wait for nature to provide the appropriate experimental conditions. We can, for example, learn something about how a normal brain functions by looking at people who have suffered brain damage; and we can gain some understanding into the roles played by genes and the environment by studying twins, who have been separated at birth and brought up in different families. In the case of economics, economic history can provide us with a bank of-admittedly not very well-controlled-experimental data.However, human scientists do not just sit around waiting for natural experiments to arise. They also think of some experiments of their own. Suppose you want to know how a baby sees the world. We cannot, of course, ask the baby since it has not yet learnt to speak. So it might seem that all we can do is guess. People usually won’t change their mind until it was found out that babies tend to stare at surprising things longer than at unsurprising ones. This key understanding was like opening a window on to the developing mind. There was now a way of testing babies’ expectations and getting some idea of how they are six months old, babies can already do the following things: figuring out that objects consist of parts that move together being aware of the difference between living and non-living things and even doing simple arithmetic work.60．What is true about the natural sciences and the human sciences according to this passage?A．Both human scientists and natural scientists can run controlled experiments.B．Experiments done by human scientists and natural scientis ts are artificial.C．Both human and natural science experiments should be of the same importance.D．It’s not moral to conduct human science experiments.61．What do we know about human scientists from this passage?A．They are white coat scientists.B．They have more experimental sources than natural scientists.C．They conduct experiments passively.D．They face more difficulties in carrying out their research.62．Which of the following experiments belongs to human science experiment?A． Vinegar Volcano Vinegar and baking soda make.for a fun and easy science experiment.
