She was born to be multimodal(多方式的)She understood that depending on cars only was a failure of imagination and，above all，a failure of confidencethe product of a childhood not spent exploring subway tunnels. Once you learn the route map and step with certainty over the gap between the train and the platform，nothing is frightening any moreNew cities are just lightrail lines to be explored. And your personal car，if you have one，becomes just one more tool in the toolbox and often an inadequate one，limiting both your mobility and your walletOn Transportation Days，we might stop for lunch on Chestnut Street or buy a new book or toy，but the transportation was the point. First, it was exciting enough to watch the world speed by from the train windowAs I got older, my mom helped me unlock the mysteries that would otherwise have paralyzed my first attempts to do it myself: How do I know where to get off? How do I know how much it costs? How do I know when I need tickets, and where to get them? What track，what line，which direction，wheres the stop，and will I get wet when we go under the river? Im writing this right now on an airplane，a means we didnt try on our Transportation Days and，we now know the dirtiest and most polluting of them allMy flight routed me through Phila- delphiaMy multimodal mom met me for dinner in the airportShe took a train to meet me.56Which was forbidden by Mom on Transportation Days? AHaving a car ride BTaking the train twice CBuying more than one toyDTouring the historic district 57According to the writer，what was the greatest benefit of her Transportation Days? ABuilding confidence in herself BReducing her use of private cars CDeveloping her sense of direction DGiving her knowledge about vehicles 58The underlined word“paralyzed”(in Para5)is closest in meaning to“” Adisplayed B justified Cignored Druined59Which means of transportation does the writer probably disapprove of? AAirplane BSubway CTram DCar B Do you know how it is when you see someone yawn（打哈欠） and you start yawning too? Or how hard it is to be among people laughing and not laugh yourself ? Well, apparently it is because we have mirror neurons(神经元）in our brains Put simply，the existence of mirror neurons suggests that every time we see someone else do something，our brains imitate(模仿)it，whether or not we actually perform the same actionThis explains a great deal about how we learn to smile，talk，walk，dance or play sportsBut the idea goes further：mirror neurons not only appear to explain physical actions，they also tell us that there is a biological basis for the way we understand other people Mirror neurons can undoubtedly be found all over our brains，but especially in the areas which relate to our ability to use languages，and to understand how other people feelResearchers have found that mirror neurons relate strongly to languageA group of researchers discovered that if they gave people sentences to listen to(for example：“The hand took hold of the ball”)，the same mirror neurons were triggered as when the action was actually performed(in this example，actually taking hold of a ball) Any problems with mirror neurons may well result in problems with behaviorMuch research suggests that people with social and behavioral problems have mirror neurons which are not fully functioningHowever，it is not yet known exactly how these discoveries might help find treatments for social disorders Research into mirror neurons seems to provide us with ever more information concerning how humans behave and interact(互动)Indeed，it may turn out to be the equivalent(相等物)for neuroscience of what Einsteins theory of relativity was for physicsAnd the next time you feel the urge to cough in the cinema when someone else doeswell，perhaps youll understand why 60Mirror neurons can explain . A. why we cry when we are hurt B. why we cough when we suffer from a cold C. why we smile when we see someone else smile D. why we yawn when we see someone else stay up late61. The underlined word“ triggered” in the third paragraph probably means_ A. set off B. cut off C. built up D. broken up62We can learn from the passage that mirror neurons_. A. relate to human behavior and interaction B. control human physical actions and feelings C. result in bad behavior and social disorders D. determine our knowledge and language abilities63. What is the passage mainly about? AWays to find mirror neurons BProblems of mirror neurons CExistence of mirror neurons DFunctions of mirror neurons C I was blind，but I was ashamed of it if it was knownI refused to use a white stick and hated asking for helpAfter all，I was a teenage girl，and I couldnt bear people to look at me and think I was not like themI must have been a terrible danger on the roadsComing across me wandering through the traffic，motorists probably would have to step rapidly on their brakesApart from that，there were all sorts of disasters that used to occur on the way to and from work One evening，I got off the bus about halfway home where I had to change buses，and as usual I ran into something“Im awfully sorry” I said and stepped forward only to run into it againWhen it happened a third time，I realized I had been apologizing to a lamppost(电灯杆)This was just one of the stupid things that constantly happened to meSo I carried on and found the bus stop，which was a request stop，where the bus wouldnt stop unless passengers wanted to get on or offNo one else was there and I had to try to guess if the bus had arrived Generally in this situation，because I hated showing I was blind by asking for help，I tried to guess at the soundSometimes I would stop a big lorry and stand there feeling stupid as it drew awayIn the end，I usually managed to swallow my pride and ask someone at the stop for help But on this particular evening no one join me at the stop ;it seemed that everyone had suddenly decided not to travel by busOf course I heard plenty of buses pass, or I thought I didBut because I had given up stopping them for fear of making a fool of myself , I let them all go by. I stood there alone for half an hour without stopping oneThen I gave up. I decided to walk on to the next stop. 64The girl refused to ask for help because she thought_ A. she might be recognized B. asking for help looked silly C. she was normal and independent D. being found blind was embarrassing 65After the girl got off the bus that evening，she_ A. began to run B. hit a person as usual C. hit a lamppost by accident D. was caught by something 66At the request stop that evening，the girl_ A. stopped a big lorry B. stopped the wrong bus C. made no attempt to stop the bus D. was not noticed by other peopleD Kong Zi , was called Confucius (551-479 B. C) , and Socrates （苏格拉斯）(469-399 B. C) lived only a hundred years apart , and during their lifetimes there was no contact between China and Greece, but it is interesting to look at how the world that each of these great philosophers came from shaped their ideas , and how these ideas in turn ,shaped their societies. Neither philosopher lived in times of peace, though there were more wars in Greece than in China. The Chinese states were very large and feudal, while the Greek city-states were small and urban. The urban environment in which Socrates lived allowed him to be more radical(极端的) than Confucius. Unlike Confucius, Socrates was not asked by rules how to govern effectively. Thus, Socrates was able to be more idealistic, focusing on issues like freedom, and knowledge for its own sake. Confucius, on the other hand, advised those in government service, and many of his students went out to government service. Confucius suggested the Golden Rule as a principle for the conduct of life:“ Do not do to others what you would not want others to do to you. ” He assumed that all men were equal at birth, though some had more potential than others, and that it was knowledge that set men apart. Socrates focused on the individual, and thought that the greatest purpose of man was to seek wisdom. He believed that some had more potential to develop their reason than others did. like Confucius. He believed that the superior class should rule the inferior(下层的)classes. For Socrates, the family was of no importance, and the community of little concern. For Confucius, however, the family was the centre of the society, with family relations considered much more important than political relations. Both men are respected much more today than they were in their lifetimes. 67. Which of the following is TURE according to the first paragraph?A. Socrates and Confucius had much in common. B. Confucius had much influence on Socrates ideas. C. The societies were influenced by the philosophers ideas. D. There were cultural exchanges between China and Greece. 68. Socrates shared with Confucius the idea that . A. all men were equal when they were bornB. the lower classed should be ruled by the upper classC. the purpose of man was to seek freedom and wisdomD. people should not ask others to do what they did not want to69. What made some people different from others according to Confucius?A. Family. B. Potential. C. Knowledge. D. Community. 70. This passage is organized in the pattern of . A. time and eventsB. comparison（对比） and contrastC. cause and effectD. definition and classification（分类）第二节（共5小题；每小题2分，满分10分）根据短文内容，从下框的A-F选项中选出能概括每一段主题的最佳选项，并在答题卡上将该选项涂黑。选项中有一项为多余项。 71._As awareness of the benefits of humor increases, most of us want to get all the laughs we can.
