　　A

　　（05）The city had always been an engine of intellectual life，from the 18th­century cafes of London，where citizens gathered to discuss chemistry and politics，to the Left Bank bars of modern Paris，where Picasso talked about modern art.Without the metropolis（大都市），we might not have had the great art of Shakespeare.

　　And yet，city life isn't easy.Now scientists have begun to examine how the city affects the brain，and the results of their research are depressing.__1__ After spending a few minutes on a crowded city street，the brain is less able to hold things in memory，and suffers from reduced self­control.While it's long been recognized that city life is exhausting，this new research suggests that cities actually dull our thinking，sometimes dramatically so.

　　One of the main forces at work is a complete lack of nature，which is surprisingly beneficial for the brain.Studies have demonstrated，for instance，that hospital patients recover more quickly when they can see trees from their windows，and that women living in public housing are better able to focus when their apartments overlook a lawn（草坪）．__2__

　　This research arrives just as humans cross an important milestone（里程碑）．For the first time in history，the majority of people live in cities.__3__ In recent years，it's become clear that such unnatural surroundings have important implications for our mental and physical health，and can powerfully change how we think.

　　__4__ The good news is that even slight changes such as planting more trees in the inner city or creating urban parks with a greater variety of plants，can significantly reduce the negative side effects of city life.The mind needs nature，and even a little bit can be a big help.

　　第一节　根据短文内容，从A、B、C、D和E中选出最适合填入短文空缺处的选项，选项中有一项是多余选项。

　　A．This research is also leading some scientists to dabble（涉足）in urban design，as they look for ways to make the city less damaging to the brain.

　　B．Just being in an urban environment，they have found，impairs（损害）our basic mental processed.

　　C．Even these glimpses of nature improve brain performance，it seems，because they provide a mental break from the urban life.

　　D．City life is difficult and stressful and people can easily slip into the bad habit of rushing around all day，every day just trying to keep up.

　　E．Instead of inhabiting wide­open spaces，we're crowded into concrete jungles surrounded by traffic and millions of strangers.

　　第二节　根据短文所给的信息，用一个完整的句子回答下面的问题。

　　5．What is the main idea of the passage?

　　（06）Even today there are a great many wrong ideas about food.Some of them are very widespread.One such idea is that fish is the best brain food.Fish is good brain food just as it is good muscle food and skin food and bone food.__1__no one has been able to prove that fish is any __2__for the brain than many other foods.Another such idea is that you should not drink water with meals.Washing food down__3__water as a substitute for chewing is not a good idea，but some water with meals has been found to be helpful.__4__makes the digestive juices flow more freely and helps to digest the food.A few years__5__ the belief became general __6__orange juice and milk should never be drunk at the same time.The reason __7__（give）was that the acid in the orange juice would make the milk curdle（凝结）and become indigestible.As a matter of fact，milk always meets in the stomach a digestive juice which curdles it; the curdling of the milk is __8__first step in its digestion.Still another wrong idea about mixing foods is that proteins and carbohydrates should never __9__（eat）simultaneously（同时地）．Many people think of bread，for example，as a carbohydrate food.It is chiefly a carbohydrate food，but it also contains proteins.__10__the same way，milk，probably the best single food，contains both proteins and carbohydrates.

　　B

　　（05）In much of the world，authority is not challenged either out of respect or out of fear，sometimes，too，because a hierarchy（等级制度）of rank has been fixed for so long that people have been trained for generations never to challenge it.

　　__1__ Young scholars or inventive industrial talents are limited in technical research because they hesitate to disagree with their “superiors”．Clever researchers may be considered too young to have “any right” to present findings that do not agree with knowledge and wisdom of their elders.

　　Americans are trained from children to question，analyze and research.They are encouraged to form their own opinions.“Go look it up for yourself”，a child will be told.__2__ An assignment to “write a paper on the world's supply of sugar” will send even a young child in search of completely unfamiliar ideas.By the time they are 14,15，and 16，many young scholars are making original and valuable contributions in all fields of science from astrophysics（天体物理学）to oceanography（海洋学）．Industry is so aware of this resource that each year，through national competitions，it offers tremendous awards among teenagers to seek out the brilliant minds across the country.

　　As seen by members of other nations，this emphasis on questioning and searching is bad for young people's “manners”．__3__They are often surprised and annoyed to find junior staff members “daring” to challenge older ones or argue points with them.They do not always like it when these young men make detailed but often revolutionary suggestions.One's own plans，reports of analyses may be looked through in detail—perhaps even challenged—by a young person.

　　This is not to be considered a loss of face，nor is it a sign of “no confidence”．Our whole approach to research is different.Your ideas are being looked at，not you yourself.To us the two are quite separate.This is the way our mind work.We are seeking facts，not challenging you as a person.So，too，even in social conversation you will find that people often argue，ask for your sources or chanllenge your conclusions.They do not mean to be rude.__4__

　　A．Almost all the children in school can use libraries to search for new ideas.

　　B．Foreigners often feel great “lack of respect” in our youth.

　　C．In such countries children are not expected to question their teachers in school.

　　D．School tasks are designed to demand the use of a wide range of materials.

　　E．They are keenly interested and merely trying to explore the idea in greater depth.

　　5．What is the main idea of the passage?

　　________________________________________________________________________

　　（06）“One can't judge a stranger only by his clothes.” This is__1__I learn from my experience.Some years ago，when I came to a restaurant in the south，__2__be honest，I knew very little about work in the restaurant.However，the boss had a short talk with me and found I had a gift for business and he decided to__3__me as a headwaiter.“Now that the boss trusts me，I should value this new job and work hard.”I said to myself.I __4__work well and soon I was promoted as vice­manager of the restaurant.One day，a neatly­dressed man entered our restaurant and ordered the most __5__dishes.I felt very happy to find that we would receive another wealthy gentleman and it would do good to the honor of__6__.“Though Henry in One Million Pound Note was regarded as a rich man in rags，in modern China，only neatly­dressed men should be rich！”I thought，introducing the dish to him.He showed great__7__with my work and gave me some tip.I refused it politely.Before he left，he suddenly let out a cry，saying that he left his bag at home before he came for dinner and asked me __8__ I could allow him to pay the next day.When I didn't show willingness，he gave his gold ring，saying that when he came to pay the meal，he would get it back.I agreed and let him go.But the next day，he didn't turn up.I showed the gold ring to the gold shop and found it was fake.Such a neatly­dressed man was a cheat.It's really__9__（believe）！And more than worse，I didn't know how to account __10__it to my boss，who believed I was clever.
