第1题

Thousands of years ago, ten of our very distant ancestors were hungry. They went out and p

icked berries or dug up roots to eat. Four of them chose poisonous food and died. The remaining six noticed that their food was safe to eat. They told their children, who, in turn, passed the message on to their descendants. In this way, habit became a vital factor in the survival of mankind : if you ate the right plant, you lived; if you wanted to make your own experiments, you would probably die.

The importance of habit on the survival of the human species is an interesting matter. Even today, most of us hesitate when we are invited to eat a new type of food or drink something we have not tasted before. Even if the food or drink is offered by a friend, we are usually not at all anxious to experiment and accept the offer.

When you get up tomorrow morning, notice which shoe or sock you put on first. Then notice which one you put on first on other days. You may discover that (a) you tend to put on one shoe or sock first every day, and that (b) if you are right-handed, you usually deal with your left shoe or sock first. If you try to change this habit, you may find it uncomfortable or annoying, and you will soon return to your old habit.

When it comes to other matters, we often follow a fixed pattern. We sleep in one or two favorite ways. We often follow familiar routes even when they are not the shortest or best. We often wear a watch on the same wrist even when there is no real reason for doing so. (83)In hundreds of other ways, we show that we are creatures of habit, following fixed patterns of behavior. This characteristic can help us to survive but it can be a barrier to progress too. We must be alert and not let a beneficial factor become a harmful one.

The best title for this passage might be _____.

A．Habit—a Barrier to Progress

B．The Survival of Mankind

C．Various Patterns of Human Behavior

D．We Are Creatures of Habit

听力原文： On June 17, 1744, the officials from Maryland and Virginia held a talk with the Indians of the Six Nations. The Indians were invited to send boys to William and Mary College. In a letter the next day they refused the offer as follows:

We know that you have a high opinion of the kind of learning taught in your colleges, and that the costs of living of our young men, while with you, would be very expensive to you. We are convinced that you mean to do us good by your proposal; and we thank you heartily. But you must know that different nations have different ways of looking at things, and you will therefore not be offended if our ideas of this kind of education happen not to be the same as yours. We have had some experience of it. Several of our young people were formerly brought up at the colleges of the northern provinces; they were taught all your sciences; but when they came back to us they were bad runners, ignorant of every means of living in the woods, they were totally good for nothing.

We are, however, not the less obliged by your kind offer, though we refuse to accept it, and to show our grateful sense of it. If the gentlemen of Virginia will send us a dozen of their sons, we will take care of their education, teach them in all we know and make men of them.

(33)

A．The educational values of the Indians.

B．The colleges of the northern provinces.

C．The talk between the Indians and the officials.

D．The problems of the Americans in the mid-eighteenth century.

After everyone had gone, my mother said to me, "You want to be the shame as American girls on the outside. "She handed me an early gift. It was a miniskirt. "But inside you must always be Chinese. You must be proud you are different. Your only shame is to have shame. "

Washington D. C. is the home to the only spy museum in the United States. The Internationa

l Spy Museum, which opened in 2002, shows more than 200 weapons, bugs(窃听器)， cameras, and technologies used for espionage(间谍活动)throughout the world. You can see buttonhole cameras and bugs of all sizes and kinds. It offers lectures, films, and family activities covering many spy-related topics. When you first enter the exhibit, you will see a short film telling the history of espionage and the role it played. A moment later you go into a small room and you are told to pick an identity and to remember it, as this will be your identity during your time at the museum. Later on in the exhibit you are tested about your identity. Then towards the middle of the exhibit, the visitors are invited to get on all fours and crawl through a 10-meter-long pipe in which they can listen into Cuban leader Fidel Castro as he discusses his national security policy with assistants. The point of the conversation, which is not real, is to show how easy it is to spy, and how no one, whether common citizen or high-ranking official, can trust his or her surroundings. Besides, the museum tells the stories of some of the great spies in history. The Museum makes it clear that espionage is a very old trade, going back at least 2 400 years. The museums Jennifer Saxon says, "Sir Francis Willingham, an Englishman serving Queen Elizabeth I , organized the first known spy network in the second half of the 16th century. He organized that for Queen Elizabeth to help keep her own power. " If you want to buy some souvenirs(纪念品), Museum Store will be your best choice where a great variety of souvenirs are on display, including T-shirts, cups, spy TV show/movie-theme DVDs.

"Acting is the least mysterious of all crafts," Marion Brando once said. But

for scientists, working out what is going on in an actor's head has always been something of a puzzle. Now, researchers have said actors show different patterns of brain activity depending on whether they are in character or not.

Dr Steven Brown, from McMaster University in Canada, said, "It looks like when you are acting, you are suppressing (压制) yourself; almost like the character is possessing you." Brown and colleagues report how 15 actors, mainly theatre students, were trained to take on a Shakespeare role — either Romeo or Juliet — in a theatre workshop. They were then invited into the laboratory, where their brains were scanned in a series of experiments. Once inside the MRI scanner, the actors were asked to answer a number of questions, such as: would they go to the party？ And would they tell their parents that they had fallen in love？ Each actor was asked to respond to different questions, based on two different premises (前提). In one, they were asked for their own perspective, while in the other, they were asked to respond as though they were either Romeo or Juliet.

The results revealed that the brain activity differed depending on the situation being tested. The team found that when the actors were in character, they use some third-person knowledge or inferences about their character. The team said they also found additional reduction in activity in two regions of the prefrontal cortex (前额皮质) linked to the sense of self, compared with when the actors were responding as themselves.

However, Philip Davis, a professor at the University of Liverpool, was unimpressed by the research, saying acting is about far more than "pretending" to be someone — it involves embodying (体现) the text and language.

1.How did Dr Brown's team conduct their research？（）

A.By scanning the brain activity of some actors

B.By doing a survey with some theatre goers

C.By interviewing some theatre teachers

D.By consulting some experienced researchers

2. Which of the following is Not True according to the research？（）

A. When actors are acting, they are suppressing themselves

B. The subjects (实验的研究对象)were all theatre students

C. The subjects’ brains were scanned in a series of experiments

D. The subjects’ brain activity differed depending on the situation being tested

E. The subjects were asked different questions

3.What is the finding of Dr Brown's research？（）

A.Acting is not as mysterious as people think

B.Actors' brain activity differs when they are acting

C.Acting is far more than pretending to be the character

D.Actors' brain activity is more active when they are in character

4.How did Philip Davis react to the research？（）

A.He supported it

B.He doubted it

C.He explained it

D.He advocated it

5.What is the text mainly about？（）

A.A debate of how the brain functions

B.A play written by Shakespeare

C.A research on the brain activity of actors

D.A report of the cooperation of scientists and actors
