第一节 (共 15 小题;每小题 2 分,满分 30 分)
阅读下列短文,从每题所给的四个选项( A、B、C 和 D)中,选出最佳选项
A
As I grew older, my dad and I grew further apart. We always had totally different opinions. He
thought that college was a waste of time, but for me it was important to finish college. He wanted
me to work my way to the top as he had done in his field, but I wanted a different life. There was a
time when we did not talk with each other.
A few months ago, I heard that my 84-year-old dad was in poor health. When he called and
asked whether I could move from Colorado back to Tennessee to help him, I knew he was
seriously ill. I am his only child and so it was time to meet my father ’s requirement.
Two weeks after moving back, we bought a boat and started fishing again. Fishing was one of
the few things that we did while I was young and that we both enjoyed. It is strange but true that
as we are fishing we are able to put things that have kept us apart for so many years behind us.
We are able to talk about things that we have never talked about before. Fishing has been healing
the old wounds that have kept us apart.
It is not important how many fish we catch. It is about enjoying the relationship that we have
not had for years. I ’m 62 and he is 84. When we are on the lake fishing, it is like enjoying life. It is
far better to find a way to put the unhappy past behind. I am so lucky to spend the happy time
with my father in his last years. Now my heart is filled with love. A smile always graces my lips.

While most of us are happy to take the credit when things go well, few of us are willing to
take the blame when things go wrong. Rather than trying to hide our shame or embarrassment,
experts found that we are simply less aware when our actions result in a negative outcome.
The research may explain why we often feel it hard to take the blame for our actions. “Our
result suggests that people may really experience less responsibility for negative than for positive
outcomes, ”said Patrick Haggard, leading researcher and professor of the institute of Cognitive
Neuroscience at University College London.
In a series of tests, participants were asked to press a key. A sound then followed, either
disapproving, neutral or approving, and they were then asked to estimate the time between the
action and when they had heard the sound.
Researchers found that individuals experienced different levels of responsibility depending
on the outcomes. They also discovered they were significantly slower to recognize if their actions
had resulted in a bad consequence, compared to when they had done well.
“Effectively, we have found that we experience a negative outcome differently, not just
retell it differently. We make a weaker connection when there is a bad result. And respond much
.

more strongly when something good happens, ”said Professor Haggard. When something goes
right, everyone wants to take the credit, and when things go wrong, nobody is interested in
putting their hands up.
The researchers said our brain is “ very much concerned ”with reward, as good results are key
to survival. Although our own perception( 认知 ) of whether we are guilty of something or not is
changed by the outcomes, this does not provide a defense if we have done something wrong.
“Our experience of our own responsibilities can be misleading and can be strongly colored by
the outcomes of our actions. ”said Professor Haggard. “We have to take responsibility for what
actually do, not just for how we experience things. ”
28.People who don ’t take the blame for their actions .
A.always try to hide their shame or embarrassment.

B.When something bad happens, nobody is interested in dealing with the problem.
C.People were quicker to recognize if their actions had resulted in a bad consequence.
D.Participants were asked to count the time between pressing a key and hearing the sound.

A team led by Professor Theoder Berger, from the University of Southern California, can now
manipulate( 操纵 ) brain cells in rats so that memories stored in the hippocampus, a brain area
crucial for memory formation, are activated or suppressed( 抑制 ). It ’s said that the technology
could one day have medical applications.
In the study, researcher first trained rats to remember which of two levers( 杠杆 ) they pressed
first, then to press the other lever.
As the rats performed the task, the scientists carefully monitored the electrical activity in
each creature ’s hippocampus to find the pattern of nerve-cell activity involved in making a solid
memory.
Using the same glass needles they had used to record the nerve activity, they stimulated ( 刺
激) nerves in the same pattern and found that the animals ’ performance in the task got even
better. The rats made fewer errors and were able to remember which lever was the “correct ”one
for a longer period of time.
The scientists went a step further and suppressed the rats ’ memories with a drug called
Mk801, which caused them to forget their task. When the animals ’ brain cells were later
stimulated with the “correct ”pattern, they remembered again which lever to press.
“What ’s really exciting about this study is that when they played back the ‘good ’patterns
— the patterns when the animal got the task right — it did appear to improve memory, ”said Dean
Buonomano, an associate professor at the University of California.
The final goal, Berger said, is to help people with stroke( 中风 ) and epilepsy( 癫痫症 ) and the
like strengthen memories and to help doctors treat them. The technology might even help
.

sufferers of post-traumatic( 创伤后 ) stress disorder.
But first, researchers would have to show that they can stimulate or suppress far more
complex memories than the ones in the rat experiment.
“Here ,it ’s a simple task, ”Buonomano said. In contrast, humans ’ memories are very rich
and specific ⋯
“We have very many steps to go before this can be achieved, ”he said.
32.How does “the technology ”in Paragraph 1 act?
A.It manipulates brain cells.
B.It stores memories in the hippocampus.
C.It activates memories stored in the brain.
D.It suppresses memories stored in the brain.
33.In what order did the researchers conduct the rat experiment?
a.Monitor the electrical activity in the rat ’s hippocampus.
b.Suppress the rat ’s memory with a drug called MK801.
c.Stimulate the rat ’s nerves in the same pattern.
d.Stimulate the rat ’s nerves in the same pattern for a second time.
e.Train the rats to remember the order of the two levers they pressed.
A.a, e, b, c, d B.a, e, c, d, b C.e, a, c, d, b D.e, a, c, b, d
34.When their nerves were stimulated, the rats .
A.forgot their task
B.completed the task better
C.made no errors in their task
D.remembered which lever they had pressed for a shorter time
.

35.What can we infer from the article?
A.MK801 is a drug that can be used to stimulate nerves.
B.The study is expected to be used to help stroke and epilepsy patients recover completely.
C.Using the study to improve human s ’ memories still face many challenges.
D.Researchers have studied far more complex memories than the ones in the rat experiment.

根据短文内容,从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。
Teenagers are especially likely to suffer loneliness. Here are some suggestions for speeding a
recovery from loneliness.
Reach out to others, but start small. A smile and a friendly greeting for the student behind
you in line at the cafeteria won ’t make you best friends. 36 It also can make it easier to
interact the next time.
Find a safe place to make connections. If going to the school dance makes you feel like you
just don ’ t belong, try joining a special-interest group. Maybe it ’s the drama club or the
marching band 37 .
Find other ways of making connections. Lonely people hunger for acceptance and
friendship. Sometimes feeling accepted and liked comes more easily when you do something for
others. 38 Teach a child in reading. Take notes for a disabled classmate. You might be
surprised at the connections you make after reaching out in these ways.
39 Loneliness is an absence of quality friendships, not of a particular quantity of friends.
That ’s why it ’ s important to know how to select a friend. The best friendships are those based
on similar values and attitudes.
.
可编辑
You get what you expect, so expect the best. If you expect others to be friendly, you will
behave in similar ways.
40 It goes away as teens learn how to find their way through their social world and
connect with others.
A.But it will make you both feel pretty good.
B.So consider becoming a volunteer.
C.Some teens aren ’t so adaptable, however.
D.Encourage people to be friendlier to you.
E.Choose the right people.
F.For most young people, loneliness is only temporary.
G.Look for a group that allows you to ease in gradually.

It has often been said that a person ’s life is the sum total of their experiences. That seems
like a simple 41 ,but if one accepts this, then why do so many of us engage in practices and
activities which are negative and actually 42 us?

sponge( 海绵 ), did the 44 , and then placed them back in the kitchen.
A visitor came along who was 45 about what was cleaned in the home, but couldn ’t tell

sponge. As we go through 57 , our“ sponge ”is filled with things we 58 through experiences.
If we look for the good in others and 59 to adopt a positive attitude around, then as life
squeezes us we will have a better chance of coping. If we are constantly finding 60 with

阅读下面材料,在空白处填入适当的内容或括号内单词的正确形式。
An old proverb says, “Friends are like wine; the older, the better. ”So, nowadays many people
consider old friends to be 61 (important) than new friends. For example, if two pieces of advice
are given to solve a problem, one from a new friend and the other from 62 old friend, people
always tend to adapt the latter one, 63 the new friend ’s advice may be better.
64 (disagree) with the old proverb, I believe that new friends are not 65 (necessary) worse
than old friends. Why? Because the __66__ ( long)of time cannot determine whether your
friendship is better or not.
Once you call someone friend, he must be a reliable person,__67__ interests are in common
with 68 (you). As time goes by, a friend ’s outside look may change, but the inside characters
of him and his interests 69 (change). It is just these unchangeable characters and interests that
make him a friend to you. 70 , on this point, there is no difference between old friends and new
friends.
