【題目】 A family in Guelph, Ontario is spending a year living “in 1982”. They’re doing it so their kids can see what life was like before technology like iPads, computers and even coffee machines was part of everyday life.

They have stopped using all technology from their home and are relying on the things people would have used back in the 80s. There is a box at the front door where people can put their cell phones in, while they’re visiting the family.

Blair McMillan and his wife Morgan want their kids—Trey, 5, and Denton, 2—to have a year without technology.

Instead of reading e-readers, they are reading books. Instead of using a GPS, they used paper maps. The home the family is living in was built in the 1980s. Even the way they dress and style their hair is from the 80s.

The whole idea started when young Trey was called to come outside. He didn’t because he was busy playing on the ipad. That’s why his dad thought of the idea of living “in 1982” for a year. The family plans to live like “it’s 1982” until April next year. To them, one of the hardest things was giving up their cell phone.

【1】What will the visitors do when they come to see the family?

A. The way they dress and style their hair must be from the 80s.

B. They must leave their cell phone at home.

C. They will put their cell phone outside before entering the room.

D. They can use the phone prepared by the family.

【2】What is mainly talked about in the fourth paragraph?

A. Dos and don’ts.

B. Reasons and results.

C. Advantages and disadvantages.

D. Advice and plans.

【3】Who made the family have the idea of living “in 1982”?

A. The reporter. B. Young Trey.

C. Blair McMillan. D. Morgan.

【答案】

【1】C

【2】A

【3】B

【解析】

試題分析：本文是一篇記敘文，講述了一家原本離不開高科技的人，現(xiàn)在卻拋棄了高科技，變成了生活在1982年時的一家人，呼吁人們放下手機，回歸真正的生活。

【1】C細節(jié)理解題。由文中 There is a box at the front door where people can put their cell phones in, while they’re visiting the family.可知門前有一個盒子，去拜訪他家的人們都要把手機放在里面，所以C正確。

【2】A推理判斷題。由文中 Instead of reading e-readers, they are reading books. Instead of using a GPS, they used paper maps. The home the family is living in was built in the 1980s. Even the way they dress and style their hair is from the 80s可知本段寫了他們看紙質(zhì)的書而不是電子書，他們用紙質(zhì)的地圖而不是衛(wèi)星導(dǎo)航，它們家住在一個建在20世紀80年代的房子，甚至穿著方式和頭發(fā)都和80年代的人一樣，可知本段寫了他們做什么和不做什么，所以選A。

【3】B細節(jié)理解題。由文中 The whole idea started when young Trey was called to come outside.可知整個想法最開始是Trey想到的，所以選B。

【題目】If you saw another kid ride her bike too fast around a corner and fall down, you might ride your bike more slowly on that turn. Yes, we humans are very sensitive to others' mistakes. And the same is true for other animals. Animals mess up all the time. They might eat poisonous leaves, fall off a tree or let their prey (獵物) slip away. By watching others fail, an animal can avoid making the same mistakes, thus improving its chance of survival.

Scientists suspected that one part of the brain helps animals process information about others' errors. Cells in that part appear to become more active when a person sees someone else making a mistake. But researchers didn't know whether individual cells in this part of the brain play different roles in detecting errors.

To investigate the brain's response to errors in more detail, the researchers taught a game to two macaques, a type of monkey. One monkey could press a yellow or green button while the other watched. If the first monkey pressed the right button, the team gave both animals a treat. Every couple of rounds, the two monkeys switched roles. Meanwhile, the scientists monitored individual cells in the animal's brains.

When the first monkey messed up the game by pressing the wrong button, a group of cells in the second monkey's brain fired. But if the second monkey also made the wrong choice during its turn, some of the cells in that group didn't respond. Those unresponsive cells reacted specifically to mistakes made by others, not to the monkey's own mistakes.

Scientists believe other parts of the brain also might help people process information about another's errors. "You start to think about this other person and see things from his angle. " Ellen de Bruijn, told Science News. She studies the brain at the University of Leiden in the Netherlands.

【1】 According to Paragraph 1 , animals' ability to learn from others' mistakes ______.

A. used to be ignored by humans

B. ensures that they will never fail

C. is being lost because of humans

D. helps them to survive better

【2】The underlined word "detecting" in Paragraph 2 probably means "______".

A. correcting B. making

C. sensing D. drawing

【3】 In the experiment mentioned, those unresponsive cells are only sensitive to ______.

A. the same buttons B. others' mistakes

C. one's own mistakes D. the monkey's brain

【題目】Let’s read the descriptions of the following scenes of shopping. A man enters a store to buy milk. He walks out of the store with milk. That is all— milk. At the same time, a woman enters the same grocery store also to buy milk. She buys it. But, she also buys chicken and lemons to make dinner that night. Then she remembers to buy food for her son to eat at school. She also gets a bottle of wine for drinks with friends and a birthday card for her husband's niece. Then she gets coffee for breakfast, ice cream for dessert and remembers stamps to mail the bills. And don't forget soap for the bathroom.

And that is the difference between the female and male brains simply explained in a grocery store. Generally speaking，men do one thing at a time. Women do many. Doing many things at one time is often called “multi-tasking”, a very popular word these days.

Now scientific research supports this theory about male and female brains. A recent study has confirmed what we have known all along—men and women think differently.

Scientists at the University of Pennsylvania studied brain images of 949 people aged from 8 to 22 years old. They found that male brains have more connections on one side of the brain, or hemisphere. In the female brain, they found more activities and connections between the right and left sides of the brain. The left side of the brain is known as the side of “reason”. The right hemisphere is known as the “creative” side.

Regina Verma is a professor at the University of Pennsylvania. She co-wrote the report. She says when women are asked to do something difficult, they might use different parts of the brain. Men, she adds, generally use just one side of the brain.

As a result, men generally deal directly with a problem. There is a strong connection between the “understanding” and the “action” parts of their brains. Women, however, might include other parts of the brain, like the part connected with reason and the part connected with sensitivity when solving a problem. Women take a less direct path to find a solution.

Dr. Verma warns that the study should not lead anyone to expect some behaviors from women and others from men.

【1】By describing the scene of shopping, the writer wants to ____ .

A. criticize women's wasted living expenses

B. illustrate men and women's different brains

C. think highly of women's considerate behavior

D. reveal men and women's preference of living expenses

【2】When asked to deal with a problem, _____ .

A. men tend to take action straight

B.women tend to take action straight

C. women tend to use a single part of the brain

D. men tend to use connected parts of the brain

【3】Dr. Verma's warning indicates that _____ .

A. women and men can hardly cooperate well

B. women and men can hardly complete multitasks

C. women and men can hardly learn from each other

D. neither women nor men can always perform the same behavior

【4】What would be the best title for the passage?

A. Reason or Sensitivity

B. Multi-tasking or Single-tasking

C. “Reason” Brain or “Creative” Brain

D. Costly Shopping or Economical Shopping

【題目】One of the common complaints we hear from the people around us are problems they are facing. Every day and everywhere there are problems. Many times we find it hard to stay happy. When one problem is solved, another one comes up. How to solve them? The answer is that we must equip ourselves to deal with different kinds of worries by learning the three basic steps of problem analysis. The three steps are:

Get the facts

Why is it so important to get the facts? Unless you have the facts, you can’t possibly attempt to solve your problem intelligently. Without the facts, all you can do is wondering around in confusion. It is not an easy job to get facts. When you are worried, your emotions are riding high. 【1】 .

When trying to get the facts, you can pretend that you are collecting this information not for yourself but for some other person. 【2】 You can also pretend that you are a lawyer preparing to agree. Try to get all the facts both on your side and the other side of the case. You will generally find the truth lies somewhere in between.

【3】

Whenever you are worried, write down the questions that make you worry. And write out all the various steps you could take and then the probable consequences of each step. For example, what am I worrying about? What can I do about it? Here is what I’m going to do about it. After carefully weighing all the facts, you can calmly come to a decision.

Act on that decision.

【4】 How can you break the worry habit before it breaks you? Crowd worry out of your mind by keeping busy. Plenty of action is one of the best ways to cure worry. 【5】 If you know a situation is beyond your power, say to yourself: “It is so; it can’t be otherwise.” Don’t permit little things to ruin your happiness. Try to cultivate a mental attitude that will bring you peace and happiness.

A. Analyze the facts.

B. Accept what can’t be avoided.

C. Decide how much anxiety a thing may be worth.

D. This will help you to take a cold and fair view of the evidence.

E. There comes a time when you must decide and never look back.

F. But here are two ideas that can help you see the facts in a clear and objective way.

G. Unless you take your action, all your face-finding and analysis is a sheer waste of energy.

【題目】In recent years, there has been a steady attack on salt from the doctors: salt is bad for you—regardless of your health. Politicians also got aboard. “There is a direct relationship,” US Congressman Neal Smith said, “between the amount of sodium(鈉) a person consumes and heart disease, circulatory(循環(huán)的) disorders, stroke and even early death.”

Frightening, if true! But many doctors and medical researchers are now beginning to feel the salt scare has gone too far. “All these remarks and cry about salt is unnecessary,” Dr. Dustan insists. “For most of us it probably does not make much difference how much salt we eat.” Dustan’s most recent short-term study of 150 people showed that those with normal blood pressure experienced no change at all when placed on an extremely low-salt diet, or later when salt was reintroduced. Of the hypertensive(高血壓的) patients, however, half of those on the low-salt diet did experience a drop in blood pressure, which returned to previous level when salt was reintroduced.

“An adequate to somewhat excessive(過度的) salt intake has probably saved many more lives than it has cost in the general population,” said Dr. John H Laragh. “So an opinion that the whole population should avoid salt makes no sense.”

Medical experts agree that everyone should practice reasonable “moderation”(節(jié)制) in salt consumption. For the average person, a moderate amount might run from four to ten grams a day, or roughly 1/2 to 1/3 teaspoons. One to two grams of salt would come from the natural sodium in food. The rest would be added in processing, preparation or at the table.

“Na is not your enemy,” says Comek’s Dr. Laragh. “Salt is the No.1 natural component of all human tissue, and the idea that you do not need it is wrong. Unless your doctor has proven that you have a salt-related health problem, there is no reason to give it up.”

【1】Why is salt attacked by doctors and politicians?

A. It’s unnecessary.

B. It does no good to human health..

C. It is hated by most people.

D. It will surely lead to heart disease and circulatory disorders.

【2】From Dr. Dustan’s study in Paragraph 2 we can infer that _____.

A．a(chǎn) low-salt diet may be good to some patients

B．the amount of salt intake has nothing to do with one’s blood pressure

C．the reduction of salt intake can completely cure a hypertensive patient

D．a(chǎn)n extremely low-salt diet makes no difference to anyone

【3】In the 3rd paragraph, Dr. Laragh implied that _____.

A．people should not be afraid of taking much excessive salt

B．doctors should not always advise people to avoid salt

C．a(chǎn)n adequate to somewhat excessive salt intake is suggested to ill people

D．excessive salt intake has killed some patients in the general population

【4】What is the experts’ advice for average people on salt consumption?

A．They should increase salt intake through sodium pills.

B．They should avoid salt as often as possible.

C．They should consume 1/2 to 1/3 teaspoons of salt a day.

D．They needn’t care about how much salt they consume.
