　　阅读下面五篇短文，从每题所给的四个选项中，选出最佳选项，并在答题卡上将该项涂黑。

　　Even while in a deep sleep, people can still learn brand new information. Sleepers soak in

　　new associations between smells and sounds, knowledge that lingers(逗留）into the next waking

　　day, researchers report online August 26 in Nature Neuroscience.

　　The new study is the first to show that entirely new information can get into the sleeping

　　mind, says Anat Arzi of the Weizmann Institute of Science in Israel. "The brain is not passive

　　while you sleep. It's quite active. You can do quite a lot of things while you are asleep."

　　But the results don't mean that Spanish vocabulary tapes now have a place on the nightstand. L,

　　Researchers have tried but largely failed to find evidence that complicated information, such as

　　new pairs of words, can make its way into the brain during sleep.

　　Instead of trying to teach people something complicated like a new language, Arzi and her

　　colleagues relied on the sense of smell and hearing. As anyone who has walked by a dumpster（垃

　　圾车）in July knows, smells can cause a nose-jerk reaction. Catching a bad smell automatically

　　makes people inhale(吸气)less, reducing the size of the inhale. But。scent of fresh bread causes

　　a long, deep inhale.、rzi and her team took advantage of this reaction for their experiment.

　　As people slept in the laboratory, the researchers delivered pleasant scent, such as shampoo.

　　As this nice smell got into the sleepers' noses, the researchers played a particular music. Later, a

　　disgusting smell, such as rotten fish or meat, was paired with a different music. Neither the smell

　　nor the sound woke people up. After just four exposures to the smell-music pair during a single

　　night, the sleepers started to automatically respond to the tones without the accompanying smells,

　　taking in bigger breaths when the shampoo-associated tone played and smaller breaths when played

　　the sound linked to the rotten fish smell.

　　This new learned association lingered into the next waking day, too. Even though the sleepers

　　had no idea they had been exposed to smells or sounds, their behavior proved that their brain had

　　actually learned something during sleep. As before, the shampoo sound stimulated a long, deep

　　inhale, while the rotten fish tone caused more shallow breaths.

　　43. We can infer from the passage that

　　A. while sleeping, we can learn whatever we want to learn

　　B. we will increase the size of inhale if we catch a pleasant smell

　　C. the knowledge we learned while sleeping will be forgotten in the next waken day

　　D. when walking by a bakery, the fresh bread will cause a nose-jerk reaction

　　44. What is Paragraph 3 mainly about?

　　A. One can’t acquire complicated knowledge during the sleeping hours.

　　B. Spanish vocabulary tapes now have a place on the nightstand

　　C. Researchers have tried to find evidence that the new words can be learned during sleep.

　　D. Complicated information can make its way into the brain during sleep

　　45. How do Arzi and her team do their research? By

　　A. giving instructions B. analyzing human brains

　　C. following the guides of others D. doing experiments

　　46. In which part of a website may this passage most likely appear?

　　A. Culture. B. Science. C. History. D. Economy.

　　阅读下列短文，从每题所给的四个选项（A、B、C和D）中选出最佳选项，并在答题卡上将该项涂黑。

　　A

　　In Singapore, most of us love window-shopping while some others enjoy having a picnic at East Coast Park or Changi Beach on sunny days. Singaporeans are never bothered by the occasional thunderstorm. However, we know that if it rains for long continuous periods, there will be more serious effects. Just recently the main shopping street of Orchard Road was flooded and some part of Bukit Timah was impassable to traffic. People reacted by writing in to the newspaper to complain about this! We forget that other countries suffer much worse effects. Elsewhere, heavy tropical（热带的）storms often result in floods that ruin crops especially in Thailand and Malaysia. This in turn usually means that the price of rice and vegetables here in Singapore will rise because we import these products from them. If there is a typhoon or tsunami, thousands of lives are lost too. This happened in Indonesia and Phuket in Thailand in 2004 and it serves to remind us of how Mother Nature can cause great damage.

　　Weather patterns in general have changed dramatically in recent years. Scientists believe that global warming and the resulting melting of the polar ice-cap has caused the level of the ocean to rise. This in turn causes flooding of low-lying areas in countries where the land is rather flat and some parts of which is below water level. It is believed that human activities have caused Mother Nature to show her extreme anger, so it is now important that we really work together to cut down on harmful activities, for example, illegal logging（伐木）or irresponsible forest-burning to clear land for farming.

　　56.From Paragraph 1, we can see that most Singaporeans love________.

　　A. making complaints

　　B. going out for picnics

　　C. doing window-shopping D. traveling along the coast

　　【答案】C

　　【解析】根据第一段第一句可知。

　　A. Heavy tropical storms will follow shortly.

　　B. The price of rice and vegetables will go up.

　　C. Many people will write in to the newspaper.

　　D. More rice and vegetables will be imported.

　　【答案】B

　　【解析】根据第一段倒数三，四句可知。热带风暴导致的洪水会毁掉庄稼，新加坡的蔬菜和大米是从这些国家进口的，所以会导致蔬菜，大米的价格上升。

　　58.The underlined word“it” in Paragraph 2 refers to___________.

　　A. the arrival of heavy tropical storms

　　B. the import of rice and vegetables

　　C. the rising price of rice and vegetables

　　D. the loss of lives in natural disasters

　　【答案】D

　　【解析】上句提到台风和海啸会导致成千上万的人死亡。这在2004年在印度尼西亚和泰国的普吉岛发生过。自然灾害到这人死亡这件事用来提醒我们大自然可以带来巨大损害。

　　59.Which of the following shows how the low-lying areas are flooded?

　　a. global warming

　　b. the rise in ocean level

　　c. harmful human activities

　　60.What should we do in order not to make Mother Nature angry?

　　A. Clear more land for farming.

　　B. Reduce harmful human activities.

　　C. Bring down the price of food.

　　D. Improve the quality of weather.

　　【答案】B

　　【解析】根据最后一段It is believed that human activities have caused Mother Nature to show her extreme anger, so it is now important that we really work together to cut down on harmful activities,“人们认为是人类的活动导致了大自然极端愤怒， 因此，现在我们真的应该团结合作减少有害活动。”

　　Most parents of kids under age 8 don't worry about how much time they spend watching TV or using other media, from computers to smart phones to tablets PCs, according to a new survey that found a child's use of media often reflects how much time parents spend in the similar way．

　　¨We generally found that media use is not a source of conflict in the home" for families with young children, Ellen Wartella, a researcher from Northwestem University, told USA Today． She led a survey of 2,326 parents who have children 8 and younger．It found that in 80 percent of families, children's media use was not a problem, with 55 percent “not too" or“ not at all"

　　concerned about it． It also showed parents have more positive than negative feelings about how media consumption affects a child's learning and the development of creativity．The exception is video games, which are viewed more negatively than TV, computers or mobile devices．“Parents rated video games as more likely to have a negative effect on children's school performance, attention time, creativity, social skills, behavior and sleep than any other medium," the researchers said in a news conference about the survey．

　　¨The findings exposes a generational shift （转移） in parental attitudes about technology's role in young children's lives," said Wartella．“Today's parents grew up with technology as a central pact of their lives, so they think about it differently than earlier generations of parents, instead of a battle with kids on one side and parents on the other, the use of media and technology has become a family affair． "

　　The researchers identified three media environments created by parents: media-centric （39 percent of families） , media-moderate （45%）and media-light （16%）． Children

　　in media-centric families spend at least three hours more each day watching TV or using computers, video games and tablet PCs don't make parenting easier．And 88 percent of parents say they are most likely to turn to toys or activities to keep their children occupied．Slightly fewer turn to books （79%） and TV（78%）．

　　The survey didn't look at how media affects children． That's a topic that the American Academy of Pediatrics has handled a number of times． The AAP says studies have found too much media use can lead to attention- problems, school difficulties, sleep and eating disorders and being fat． In addition, the Internet and cell phones can provide platforms for illegal and risky behaviors．¨By limiting screen time and offering educational media and non-electronic formats （格式）such as books, newspapers and board games, and watching television with their children, parents can help guide their children's media experience． Putting questionable content into context and teaching kids a700ut advertising contributes to their media literacy （素养） ," it says．

　　The pediatricians' group says parents should have “screen-free zones"

　　and TV should be turned off during dinner． At most, it recommends children and teens engage with entertainment media for no more than two hours a day and that should be high-quality content． It is important for kids to spend time on outdoor play, reading, hobbies

　　and

　　using their imaginations

　　in free

　　play．“ Kids

　　under 2 should not use television and other entertainment media because their brains are developing quickly and they learn best from direct human interaction," the group says．

　　An article on screen time by t．he Mayo Clinic also notes problems linked t．o over screen time, including

　　being

　　fat, irregular

　　sleep , behavioral

　　problems , weak

　　school

　　performance , violence

　　and

　　less time for active and creative play．

　　50．Parents have more negative than positive feelings about media consumption like

　　．

　　A．computers

　　B．smart phones

　　C．video games

　　D．tablets PCs

　　51．Most parents don't worry about kid's media use because

　　．

　　A．they can limit the screen time

　　B．they want their children happy

　　C．they also grew up with technology D．they can teach their children themselves

　　52．From the data of the survey, we learn

　　．

　　A．children in media-centric families are smarter than others

　　B．children in media-light families spend one hour watching TV

　　C．more than half of the parents think children's media use was a problem

　　D．media-centric children spend more than three hours each day on media use

　　53．To make parenting easier, most parents probably

　　．

　　A．try to persuade their children to read books

　　B．ask their children questions while watching TV

　　C．allow their children watching TV or using computers

　　D．turn to toys or activities to keep their children occupied

　　54．Which of the following is a suggestion by the researchers?

　　A．Media use time for babies under 2 should be limited．

　　B．Entertainment media use should be high-quality content．

　　C．Schools should provide more time for active and creative play．

　　D．Home media use should provide platforms for illegal and risky behaviors．

　　People use their mouths for many things. They eat, talk, shout and sing. They smile and they kiss. In the English language, there are many expressions using the word“mouth.”

　　For example, if you say bad things about a person, the person might protest（抗议）and say “Do not bad mouth me.” Sometimes, people say something to a friend or family member that they later regret because it hurts that person. Or they tell the person something they were not supposed to tell. The speaker might say: “I really put my foot in my mouth this time.”

　　If this should happen, the speaker might feel down in the mouth.

　　In other words, he might feel sad for saying the wrong thing.

　　Another situation is when someone falsely claims another person said something.

　　The other person might protest: “I did not say that.

　　Do not put words in my mouth.”
