Roger Sperry and Robert Ornstein of the California Institute of Technology, Nobel prize winners, discovered that the human brain has two sides, and each side has different work to do.

The left side of the brain controls language and number and it analyses and reasons. ___1._ It controls our appreciation of music and our sense of rhythm. It is also the right side of our brain which daydreams.

Leonardo da Vinci was the great painter and sculptor. He was also an architect, a scientist and an inventor! ____2.___ When he invented machines he used both his imaginative ability and his analytical ability.

___3._ Albert Einstein enjoyed art, playing the violin and sailing. Indeed, Einstein said his scientific discoveries grew from his imagination rather than from analysis, reason and language. He said that written and spoken words were not important in his thinking. The story goes that Einstein was daydreaming one summer's day while sitting on a hill. He imagined that he was riding on sunbeams to the far distance of the universe. Then he found that he had returned to the sun. So he realized that the universe must curve(彎曲).___ 4._ He then used the left side of his brain to apply analysis, number and reason. And finally he used language to explain it.

Traditional education in schools encourages us to use the left side of our brains. Language, number, analysis and reason are given more importance in our schools than imagination and daydreaming. Why don' t we give more value to visual thinking? Why jump on one foot if we have two perfectly good legs !

___5._ We need to use our imagination to think of solutions to problems and to enjoy emotional and artistic experiences. And we need to be logical able to analyze and organize in order to survive day by day.

A. We benefit by thinking creatively.

B. We all need both sides of our brain.

C. He got this idea by using his imagination.

D. Great scientists and great artists are similar.

E. He was considered crazy for his strange ideas.

F. He used both sides of his brain within each activity.

G. The right side controls our imagination and our understanding of space.

試題分析: 科學(xué)研究發(fā)現(xiàn)人類的大腦有兩面，每一面都有不同的工作要做。左側(cè)大腦控制語言和號碼，分析、推理。右側(cè)大腦控制著音樂、韻律感和想象力。做任何一件事都要用到這兩側(cè)的大腦。

1.空前一句的意思是：人的大腦分為左右兩部分，功能不同。左側(cè)大腦控制語言和數(shù)字，它做分析和推理�？蘸笠痪涞囊馑际牵核刂浦覀儗σ魳返男蕾p和我們的韻律感。所以選G（右腦負(fù)責(zé)我們的想象力和多空間的理解力）與前后一致 。

2.空前一句的意思是：達(dá) · 芬奇是偉大的畫家和雕塑家。他也是一名建筑師、 一名科學(xué)家和發(fā)明家！空后一句的意思是：當(dāng)他發(fā)明機(jī)器時，他既用到他富有想象力又用到他的分析能力。所以選F（在做每個活動時都用到大腦的兩側(cè)。）與前后一致 。

3.空前提到達(dá)芬奇是偉大的藝術(shù)家，空后提到：偉大的科學(xué)家阿爾伯特 · 愛因斯坦喜歡藝術(shù)，演奏小提琴和帆船運(yùn)動。所以選D項(xiàng)（偉大的科學(xué)家和偉大的藝術(shù)家是相似的。）前后意思一致。

4.空前提到，愛因斯坦說過他的科學(xué)發(fā)現(xiàn)源于他的想象力，而不是分析、 推理和語言。據(jù)說愛因斯坦在一個夏日坐在一座小山上。他想象著他騎上陽光向著遙遠(yuǎn)的宇宙。然后他發(fā)現(xiàn)他已經(jīng)回到太陽。所以，他意識到宇宙必須彎曲。所以選C（他是用他的想象力來得到他的想法的。）前后意思一致。

5.5】考查上下文的語境理解能力。根據(jù)本段的中心內(nèi)容，和空后提到：我們需要想象力也需要邏輯分析能力可知，選B(大腦的左右兩側(cè)我們都需要。) 意思一致。

A great loss—Shirley Temple dies at 85

February 12, 2014

BY DERRIK J. LANG, Associated Press

Shirley Temple Black, who died on February 10th at age 85, wasn’t just a child star. She was THE child star—the sweet little girl whose shining smile helped illumine some of the darkest days the US has known during the Great Depression.

It’s hard today to imagine the super star Shirley was once “America’s Little Darling”. She sang and danced her way to the top of the box office in such films as Bright Eyes, Curly Top and Heidi. By 1940, she had appeared in 43 films. Temple teamed with Bill Robison in four movies, and their dance on the stairs in The Little Colonel is still a legendary film moment.

In the 1930s, her name on a movie introduction assured (保證) a packed house. She inspired dolls, dresses, dishes—even a drink (alcohol-free, of course).

US President Franklin D. Roosevelt once famously said that “as long as our country has Shirley Temple, we will be all right.’’

Unlike so many of today’s child stars, Temple didn’t end up with her name appearing across the headlines for bad behaviors. Instead of getting her photos on front pages or struggling with drugs and alcohol, Temple went on to a second career in diplomacy (外交), including presidential appointments as ambassador to Ghana.

She surprised a lot of people who doubted her with her grace, knowledge and eagerness to serve. In fact, her career in public service (20 years) was longer than her career in movies (19). The role she valued most, however, was as wife, mother, grandmother and great-grandmother.

The world has lost a treasured Hollywood legend. But her movies will allow that little dynamic figure to continue charming audiences for a very long time.

1.The word “illumine” in Paragraph 1 means _______.

A. shorten B. sweeten

C. strengthen D. brighten

2.Temple, as a child movie star, can best be described as _______.

A. sweet and lively B. gentle and kind

C. smart and knowledgeable D. shy and attractive

3.What part did she regard as the most important in her life?

A. A top movie star. B. A businesswoman.

C. Her family role. D. Her diplomacy career.

4.Where does this passage possibly come from?

A. A biography. B. A newspaper.

C. A magazine. D. A poster.

Pulling heavy suitcases all day in the summer is hard work, especially when you are a thin 14-year-old boy. That was me in 1940-the youngest and smallest baggage boy at New York City's Pennsylvania Railway Station.

After just a few days on the job, I began noticing that the other fellows were overcharging passengers. I'd like to join them, thinking, "Everyone else is doing it."

When I got home that night, I told my dad what I wanted to do. "You give an honest day's work," he said, looking at me straight in his eye. "They are paying you. If they want to do that, you let them do that."

I followed my dad's advice for the rest of that summer and have lived by his words ever since.

Of all the jobs I've had, it was my experience at Pennsylvania Railway Station that has stuck with me. Now I teach my players to have respect for other people and their possession. Being a member of a team is a totally shared experience. If one person steals, it destroys trust and hurts everyone. I can put up with many things, but not with people who steal. If one of my players were caught stealing, he'd be gone.

Whether you're on a sports team, in an office or a member of a family. if you can't trust one another, there is going to be trouble.

1.What can be inferred about the baggage boys?

A. They could earn much, but they had to work hard.

B. Many of them earned money in a dishonest way.

C. They were all from poor families.

D. They were thin, young boys.

2.What does the father's advice imply?

A. It is wrong to give more to the passengers.

B. Don't believe them if they are paying you more.

C. Don't follow others to overcharge the passengers.

D. It is difficult to work hard and live as an honest boy.

3.The underlined word "it" (in Paragraph 2) refers to______

A. overcharging passengers B. pulling heavy suitcases all day

C. paying passengers money D. working in an honest way

4.The writer can't put up with stealing because he thinks that _______.

A. it is a total shared experience

B. it is considered as the most dangerous

C. it does great harm to human relationship

D. it may led to the loss of his sports team.

5.It can be concluded from the text that _______.

A. his father's advice helped him to decide which job to take up

B. working in the sports team was his most important experience

C. he learned much from his shared experience with his team members

D. his experience as a baggage boy had a great influence on his late life

Nine years ago, after Leo had died, people said to me. "I never knew he was your stepfather." You see, I never called him that. At first, he was no one special in my life. Then he became my friend. In time, I felt he was also my father.

Leo married my mother when I was eleven. Two years later we moved into a house in a new suburban development, where we put down roots. At first our lawn was just a mud with wild grass, but Leo saw bright possibilities. "We'll plant trees there to give us shade as well as some flowers," he said. And just these little touches made our house different from all the others. More important, a real family was forming. Leo was becoming a full-time parent, and I was learning what it meant to have a father.

Weekday mornings when the weather was bad, Leo often drove me to school. Having a father drop you off may have been something my classmates took for granted, but I always thought it was wonderful. Saturday mornings, we went to the hardware shop, then stepped into the five-and-ten, buying a sports magazine or something else. Some people might think that doing shopping together is nothing special, but I, who had ever before spent my childhood watching other families do their everyday activities, experienced them now with extreme delight. Looking back, I realized that Leo gave me what I needed most—the experience of doing ordinary things together as a family.

Soon after we moved to the suburbs, one of our new neighbors introduced herself to me. She had already met my mother and Leo. "You know," she said, "you look just like your father." I knew she was just making conversation--but even so... "Thank you", I said. Why tell her anything different?

1.The writer's purpose in writing this passage is _______.

A．to show his pride to have a good stepfather

B．to show how interesting a person Leo was

C．to remind us of our parents

D．to explain why they moved to the suburbs

2.The phrase “put down roots”in the second paragraph means _______.

A．farmed B．planted C．settled D．worked

3.In the writer's opinion, _______.

A．it is not easy to live with a stepfather

B．not all the stepfathers are as good as Leo

C．the husband and wife must think more about their children before they divorce

D．in stepfamilies the love and friendship are extremely precious

4.The last sentence “Why tell her anything different?”means that _________.

A．he should have told the truth

B．he wouldn't tell her the truth

C．he wanted to tell her something that had nothing to do with Leo

D．he wanted to keep silence whenever he met the neighbors
