17、er blanks, use one word that best fits each blank.Aunt Jane is now well over seventy, but she is still a great cinema-goer. The cinema in our town closed down years ago and sometimes she has to travel twenty miles or more to see a good film. And once a month at least she goes up to London to see(21)

18、_ (late) foreign films. Of course she could see most of these films on television, but the idea does not attract her. It isnt the same, she says. For one thing, the screens too small. Besides, I like going to the cinema!However, one thing which has always puzzled us is that (22)_ Aunt Jane has lots

19、of friends and enjoys company, she always goes to the cinema alone. We discovered the reason for this only recently-from Mother. It may surprise you to lean that Aunt Jane wanted to be an actress when she was young, she told us. She used to wait outside film studios all day, just (23)_ (appear)in cr

20、owd scenes. Your aunt has probably appeared in dozens of films. Sometimes she did not even know the name of the film they (24)_ (make). Therefore, she couldnt go to see(25)_ in the film at the cinema!All the time, of course, she was looking for a small part in a film. Her big chance came (26)_ they

21、started to make a film in our town. Jane managed to meet the director at a party and he offered her(27)_ role as a shopkeeper. It really was a very small part, but it was an important moment for Jane. Before the great event, she rehearsed for days. In fact, she turned the sitting-room into a shop! W

22、e all had to help, going to and out of the shop (28)_ she could remember her words perfectly And (29)_ the actual day she was marvelous. Jane thought that this was the beginning of her film career!Unfortunately, in the end, they did not include the shop scene in the film. But nobody told Jane! When

23、the film first appeared in London, she took all her friends to see it. And of course she wasnt in it! It was a terrible blow! She stopped (30)_ (go)to film studios and gave up the idea of becoming an actress. She still loves the cinema, as you all know, but from that day she has always gone alone!Se

24、ction BDirection: Fill in each blank with a proper word chosen from the box. Each word can be used only once. Note that there is one word more than you need.A. parallel B. curves C. dutifully D. guard E. transforming F. proceeding G. studies H. perfect I. intensely J. move K. randomizesWhether youre

25、 trying to be good at Photoshop, or step up your tennis game, or master a banjo (班卓琴) song, you re probably 31 following the age-old advice that practice makes perfect. However, contrary to popular belief, doing the same thing over and over again might not be the most efficient way to learn foreign

26、concepts.Traditionally, were taught using the blocking strategy. This instructs us to go over a single idea again and again until weve mastered it, before 32 to the next concept. But several new neurological(神经学的) 33 show that an up and coming learning method called interleaving improves our ability

27、 to keep and perform new skills over any traditional means by leaps and bounds.What interleaving does is to space out learning over a longer period of time, and it 34 the information we encounter when learning a new skill. So, for example, instead of learning one banjo chord at a time until you 35 i

28、t, you train in several at once and in shorter bursts.One of the practical ways you can use interleaving to train your brain to pick up new skills quickly and effectively is to practice multiple 36 skills at once.Whether youre trying to improve your motor skills or cognitive(认知的) learning abilities,

29、 the key to 37 how your brain processes new your brain processes new information is to break out of the habit of learning one part of a skill at a time. The advantage of this method is that your brain doesnt get comfortable or store information in your short-term memory. Instead, interleaving causes

30、 your brain to 38 focus and problem-solve every step of the way, resulting in information getting stored in your long-term memory instead.Interleaving doesnt cut any comers, so your brain is always on 39 . Think of the difference between blocking and interleaving like a boxer who practices one 40 ov

31、er and over again versus a boxer who practices by sparring in the ring. In the ring, you have to be ready for anything. It makes you faster and sharper.III. Reading ComprehensionSection ADirection: For each blank in the following passage there are four words or phrases marked A, B, C and D. Fill in

32、each blank with the word or phrase that best fits the context.Since 1960, considerable scientific researches have been done on chimps in their natural habitats. Astonishingly, scientists have found out that the social 41 of Chimps are very similar to humans. Chimps will 42 in certain ways, like gath

33、ering in war parties to protect their territory. But beyond the minimum requirements as social beings, they have little instinct to 43 one another. Chimps in the wild seek food for themselves. Even chimp mothers regularly 44 to share food with their children. who are able from a young age to gather

34、their own food?In the laboratory, chimps dont 45 share food either. If a chimp is put in a cage where he can pull in one plate of food for himself or, with no greater effort, a plate that also provides food for a neighbor to the next cage, he will pull 46 he just doesnt care whether his neighbor get

35、s fed or not. Chimps are truly selfish.Human children, 47 , are extremely cooperative From the earliest ages, they decide to help others, to share information and to participate in achieving common goals. The psychologist Michael Tomasello has studied this 48 in a series of experiments with very you

36、ng children. He finds that if babies aged 18 months see a worried adult with hands full trying to open a door, almost all will immediately try to help.There are several reasons to believe that the urges to help, inform and share are not taught, but naturally 49 in young children. One is that these 5

37、0 appear at a very young age before most parents have started to train their children to behave 51 Another is that the helping behaviors are not improved if the children are rewarded. A third reason is that social intelligence 52 in children before their general cognitive skills, at least when compa

38、red with chimps In tests conducted by Tomasello, the human children did no better than the chimps on the 53 world tests but were considerably better at understanding the social world.The core of what childrens minds have and chimps dont is what Tomasello calls shared intentionality. Part of this abi

39、lity is that they can 54 what others know or are thinking. But beyond that, even very young children want to be part of a shared purpose. They actively seek to be part of a we, a group that intends to work toward a(n) 55 goal.41. A structures B. policies C. behaviors D. responsibilities42. A. confli

Each passage is followed by several questions or unfinished statements. For each of them there are four choices m

43、arked A, B, C and D. Choose the one that fits best according to the information given in the passage you have just read. AIf a diver surfaces too quickly, he may suffer the bends. Nitrogen(氦)dissolved in his blood is suddenly liberated by the reduction of pressure. The consequence, if the bubbles ac

44、cumulate(累积) In a joint, is sharp pain and a bent bodythus the name. If the bubbles form in his lungs or his brain, the consequence can be death.Other air-breathing animals also suffer this decompression (减压) sickness if they surface too fast: whales, for example. And so, long ago, did ichthyosaurs.

45、 That these ancient sea animals got the bends can be seen from their bones. If bubbles of nitrogen form inside the bone they can cut off its blood supply. This kills the cells in the bone, and consequently weakens it, sometimes to the point of collapse. Fossil bones that have caved in on themselves

46、are thus a sign that the animal once had the bends.Bruce Rothschild of the University of Kansas knew all this when he began a study of ichthyosaur bones to find out how widespread the problem was in the past. What he particularly wanted to investigate was how ichthyosaurs adapted to the problem of d

47、ecompression over the 150 million years. To this end, he and his colleagues traveled the worlds natural-history museums, looking at hundreds of ichthyosaurs from the Triassic period and from the later Jurassic and Cretaceous periods.When he started, he assumed that signs of the bends would be rarer in younger fossils, reflecting their gradual evolution of measures to deal with decompression. Instead, he was astonished to discover the opposite. More than 15% of Jurassic and Cretaceous ichthy
