6.[1]Do you remember the title of the last book you read?Are names sometimes just beyond your brain's reach?While forgetfulness isn't necessarily a sign that something's wrong,it can be frustrating(令人沮喪的).But simple methods can help to sharpen your memory.
[2]Challenge your habits.Sometimes a little bit of habit changing goes a long way.For example,use the‘wrong'hand to do an everyday task several times a day.If you usually brush your teeth with your right hand,use your left.The brain‘knows'whew you're using the wrong hand.It's that confusion that stimulates new brain circuits,as the brain struggles to master a new task.
[3]Get involved in niusic.Listening to music can improve your ability to concentrate and help you to remember what you've learnt.Some types of music actually cause brain neurons(神經(jīng)細(xì)胞)to fire more quickly.If you're really looking forward to sharpening your memory,take up a musical instrument.Whatever the instrument,learning to p1ay will tune your brain's ability to analyse and focus.
[41Go out of your way to stay mentally active.What really counts is not the amount of book learning you did at school or university,it's how much you actively use your mind.For example,doing crossword puzzles,learning a second language or playing games can exercise your brain.
[5].Make sure that you get enough of the B vitamins in your diet.They help to repair brain tissue,and turn food into mental energy.Eat fish 2 or 3 times a week.If you drink coffee,you'll not only get a short-term boost in your ability to concentrate but also long-term benefits as well.Besides,the brain is 85%water,so if you don't drink at least 8 large glasses of water a day,you could suffer from memory loss.

17.A Terrible Surprise at the Beach  
A fun-filled day at the beach turned into horror for Alex Sun and his four-year-old son,John.The two were happily playing at Discovery Bay's main beach when Mr.Sun saw something sticking out of the sand next to John's foot.He stopped his son just as the boy was about to step on a 3.5-cm-long needle.
"John was barefoot.Think about what might have happened if he had stepped on that needle,"said Mr.Sun."It's a terrible thing to imagine."The Suns'experience shows how serious the pollution problem on the beach is.
"Discovery Bay has always been one of my favorite beaches,"says Mr.Sun,"but now I'll think carefully before letting my child play here again.He will surely have to put on shoes in the future,and I won't take him into the water.This used to be such a beautiful place.The water was clean and blue with no pollution at all.Now there is garbage everywhere.If nothing is done,a family day at the beach could be a thing of the past."
Stephen Chan,a member of a team that has been set up to study the pollution situation there,says,"Medical waste can never be controlled completely.We already know that it is not coming from government hospitals and clinics so we are checking to see if it is coming from private doctors.One of our problems is that there are no laws to help us deal with the people responsible for this pollution."
"If there were stricter laws,people might think twice about throwing garbage into sea,"says Maggie Tang of Friends of the Earth.Mr.Chan,however,thinks that stricter laws alone will not solve the problem."We cannot keep an eye on every inch of the coastline,"he says."There will always be people who throw dangerous garbage.I believe it is mainly a matter of education.If people would accept responsibility for what they do with their garbage,we would be much closer to a solution."
36.Which of the following pictures shows"a barefoot"?C

37.What does Mr.Sun think of the beach now?B
A.Unpopular
B.Unsafe
C.Deserted
D.Crowded.
38.According to Stephen Chan,what is the best way to solve the problem at the beach?D
A.Improve technology to get rid of garbage.
B.Hire cleaners to collect dangerous garbage.
C.Make laws that punish people polluting the environment.
D.Educate people the dangers of polluting the environment.

14.Imagine having an idea,drawing it on paper,bringing it to a store and seeing it turned into a physical object.This is now possible with the help of 3D printers.Such machines were once used just by universities and big companies.But now,stores with 3D printing services are appearing around the United States.
    Bryan Jaycox and his wife opened The Build ShopLLC in Los Angeles two years ago.The store is filled with tools like a laser cutter,an industrial sewing machine and 3D printers.Bryan Jaycox requires 15an hour to print an object.He also charge safe depending on the size of the object and up to 50 an hour for design and labor services.
    The Jaycoxs also offer 3D printing classes for anyone who is interested.One of the students in a recent class was Ki Chong Tran.He plans to open a 3D printing business in Cambodia."The demand has been amazing.It's been much more than I would have imagined,"said Ki Chong Tran.
"I think 3D printing is going to be huge. It's going to make a huge impact on society as a whole,"he added.
    Mr Jaycox predicts that within five years,3D printing technology could become more consumer friendly.
    But Ki Chong Tran says even current technology can make a difference in a developing country like Cambodia."With 3D printing you can give them tools,and you put it in their hands so they are responsible more for their own development. They learn skills beyond just learning English and becoming a tour guide or something like that or working at a bank.You can actually create things that give value to the world,"said Ki Chong Tran.
     He says it's not just Cambodia but anywhere where there is a 3D printer,it can turn a good idea into reality.

1.The British psychoanalyst John Bowlby maintains that separation from the parents during the sensitive"attachment"period from birth to three may scar a child's personality and lead to emotional problems in later life.Some people have drawn the conclusion from Bowlby's work that children should not be subjected to day care before the age of three because of the parental separation it causes,and many people do believe this.But there are also arguments against such a strong conclusion.
Firstly,anthropologists point out that the insulated love affair between children and parents found in modern societies does not usually exist in traditional societies.For example,in some tribal societies,such as the Ngoni,the father and mother of a child did not bring up their infant alone-far from it.Secondly,common sense tells us that day care would not be so widespread today if parents,care-takers found children had problems with it.Statistical studies of this kind have not yet been carried out,and even if they were,the results would be certain to be complicated and controversial.
Thirdly,in the last decade,there have been a number of careful American studies of children in day care,and they have uniformly reported that day care had a neutral or slightly positive effect on children's development.But tests that have had to be used to measure this development are not widely enough accepted to settle the issue.
But Bowlby's analysis raises the possibility that early day care has delayed effects.The possibility that such care might lead to,say,more mental illness or crime 15 or 20 years later can only be explored by the use of statistics.Whatever the long-term effects,parents sometimes find the immediate effects difficult to deal with.Children under three are likely to protest at leaving their parents and show unhappiness.At the age of three or three and a half almost all children find the transition to nursery easy,and this is undoubtedly why more and more parents make use of child care at this time.The matter,then,is far from clear-cut,though experience and available evidence indicate that early care is reasonable for infants.
74.The passage primarily argues whetherC.
A.day care should be widely spread
B.the family relationship is different in traditional societies
C.children under three should be sent to nursery schools
D.children over three will stop crying when leaving parents
75.The underlined word"it"in the first paragraph most probably meansA.
A.children's being subjected to day care           
B.the conclusion from Bowlby's work
C.the sensitive"attachment"period                  
D.a(chǎn) child's personality
76.Which of the following statements is NOT against Bowlby's theory?B
A.Day care is safe,otherwise there wouldn't be so many nursery schools.
B.Parents find the immediate effects of early day care difficult to deal with.
C.Many studies show that day care has a positive effect on children's development.
D.Separation from parent for very young children is common in some traditional societies.
77.The writer's attitude towards early day care is thatD.
A.children under three should stay with their parents
B.the effects of early day care on children are exaggerated
C.early day care has positive effects on children's development
D.the issue is controversial and its settlement calls for the use of statistics.

18.Grasshoppers are having to change their song-one of the iconic sounds of summer-to make themselves heard above the noise of road traffic,ecologists have discovered.The study,published in the British Ecological Society's journal Functional Ecology,is the first to show that human-made noise affects natural insect populations.Animals use sound to communicate for many reasons,including marking out territory,warning of predators and finding mates,and although previous research shows birds,whales and even frogs change their calls in noisy environments,the impact of human-made noise on insects has been neglected until now.Ulrike Lampe and colleagues from the University of Bielefeld in Germany caught 188 male bow-winged grasshoppers,half from quiet locations and half from beside busy roads.The grasshoppers use their song to attract mates.
     The team then studied the differences in the two groups'songs in the laboratory.To encourage them to sing they exposed the males to a female grasshopper,and then recorded their courtship songs.Analysis of almost 1,000 recordings revealed grasshoppers living beside noisy roads produced different songs to those living in quieter locations.
     According to Lampe:"Bow-winged grasshoppers produce songs that include low and high frequency components.We found that grasshoppers from noisy habitats increase the volume of the lower-frequency part of their song,which makes sense since road noise can mask signals in this part of the frequency spectrum(頻譜)."
     The team's findings are important because traffic noise could be upsetting the grasshopper's mating system(交配系統(tǒng))."Increased noise levels could affect grasshopper courtship in several ways.It could prevent females from hearing male courtship songs properly,prevent females from recognising males of their own species,or impair females'ability to estimate how attractive a male is from his song,"Lampe explains.
     Having discovered that human-made noise affects insect communication,the researchers now want to learn more about how the mechanism works,and whether the grasshoppers adapt to noise during their development as larvae(幼蟲(chóng)),or whether males from noisy habitats produce different songs due to genetic differences.
     The bow-winged grasshopper is a common species in Central Europe.Adults occur mainly between July and September,preferring dry grasslands.Around 1.5 cm long,they vary in colour from green and browns to red and purple.The male's song consists of 2 second-long phrases that increase in amplitude (振幅) towards the end.The beginning of a phrase is characterised by slower ticking sounds that increase in speed and amplitude,leading to a buzzing sound towards the end of the phrase.A courtship song usually includes 2 phrases.
63.The author wrote the article toC.
A.introduce how grasshoppers make noises to attract mates.
B.raise the awareness of protecting bow-winged grasshoppers.
C.inform us of a recent discovery of ecological research.
D.warn us that human-made noise has changed ecological system.
64.Which of the following could be the main idea of the passage?B
A.Bow-winged grasshoppers use their songs to communicate.
B.Grasshoppers change their songs to adapt to the noisy environment.
C.Grasshoppers'songs include both low and high frequency components.
D.Bow-winged grasshoppers are a common species in Central Europe.
65.What does the underlined word"impair"in the fourth paragraph mean?C
A.repair        B.develop        C.weaken         D.improve
66.Which of the following statements is true according the passage?A
A.Road noise can cover the lower-frequency part of their song.
B.Animals make sounds only for the purpose of finding mates.
C.Grasshopper larvae learn to adapt to human-made noise.

15.One butterfly species has come back from near extinction (滅絕)and is beginning to quickly adapt to warmer weather,a new research has found.
The research,presented at the Butterfly Conservation's international conference,found that the quino checkerspot butterfly has both moved to higher,cooler altitudes and has chosen an entirely new plant on which to lay its eggs.The butterfly,once thickly settled in Mexico and California,has witnessed a sharp drop in its numbers as climate change sees temperatures in their natural habitats(棲息地)become too hot and dry for the food plant its babies eat.
Camille Parmesan,professor at Plymouth University said that while the butterfly's movement is encouraging,it also points to the need for habitat protection.If the butterflies-and potentially other species-adapt quickly enough to move to higher altitudes,it's required that healthy environments exist in those altitudes in which the butterflies can settle.It's also required that these species have corridors(走廊)by which to move to higher altitudes,so that they can avoid getting killed by roads or long stretches of developed land.
Scientists believe the quino checkerspot is the first butterfly species to change habitat and diet so quickly,but it's not the only species to be forced to adapt to climate change.A 2013 study found that,while trees aren't moving northward as quickly as scientists expected,they're instead speeding up their lifecycles,causing younger trees to replace older trees at a higher rate.Certain desert plants,on the other hand,have migrated(遷徙)surprisingly far upslope,with some moving more than 800 feet from their 1963 lowermost boundaries.
Other species aren't adapting so quickly,however.The migration patterns of many butterfly species are being changed by earlier and warmer springs-something that's happening to some bird species as well.This changed migration timing could lead to mismatches in food and weather conditions for the migrating species,with food sources that were traditionally obtainable at a migration destination hatching or blooming(開(kāi)花) too early for the birds or butterflies to consume.

72.We can learn from the passage that the quino checkerspot butterflyC.
A.will be certain to die out in the very near future because of global warming
B.is suffering from a drop in its population due to cold climate
C.has moved to cooler places and chosen another food plant for its babies
D.a(chǎn)dapts well to their natural habitats in Mexico and California
73.How is Paragraph 3 mainly developed?A
A.By making lists.
B.By using examples.
C.By analyzing causes.
D.By making comparisons.
74.In response to warmer temperatures,the trees areA.
A.quickening their birth and death rates        
B.the only species to be forced to move uphill
C.moving northward as quickly as scientists expected
D.moved to cooler places at a rate of 800feet per decade
75.According to the last paragraph,when the species arrive at the migration destination,they mightC.
A.lay their eggs too early                 
B.suffer from severe diseases
C.have no food sources
