I cant remember right now.”Have you ever heard your grandparents ask questions like this sometimes? Usually, we think that older peoples memory becomes bad because their brains get weak. But now a team of scientists at the University of Tubingen in Germany has a new idea. “The human brain works slower in old age,” says Michael Ramscar, the lead scientist. “But only because they have stored more information overtime.” The findings are based on a series of computer simulations(模拟) of learning and memory. Scientists let the computers read a certain amount of words and learn new things each day. When the computer reads only so much, its performance on cognitive(认知)tests is similar of a young adult. But if the computer learns the experiences we might encounter over a lifetime, its performance is similar to that of an older adult. Often it is slower, but not because its processing capacity has declined. Rather, increased experience has caused the computers database to grow, giving it more data(数据)to processwhich takes time. This is similar to old people. Imagine a person knows two peoples birthdays. Another person knows the birthdays of 2000 people, but can only match the right person to the right birthday nine times out of 10. Can you say the first person has a better memory than the second person?46. The writer uses a question at the beginning of the passage to .A. invite the readers to answer the question B. attract the readers attention to the topic C. show how weak older peoples brains are D. tell the readers the latest findings about brains47.According to the research, why do old people forget peoples names easily? A. Because they have a very poor memory. B. Because they are too old to remember things. C. Because their brains become weaker than before. D. Becasue they have stored too much information.48.Where would this passage most probably appear?A. In a magazine. B. In a story book.C. In a novel. D. In a guidebook.49.What would be the best title for the passage? A. Do old people have a bad memory? B. Scientists new findings on brains C. Human brains processing capacity D. Which is better, the old or the young?BIf you saw a group of kids hitting and abusing(虐待，伤害)an animal, would you stop them? Would you at least call the police? Again people would walk away. Some people do not believe that animal abuse is a big issue(问题). Every day animals are abused in their homes or on the streets. It seems as if politicians(从政者)do nothing to stop this issue. Everyone is worried about education and global warming. What about animals? We should not forget them just because they cannot talk to us. Animals, like us humans, have rights. Every living being has the right to warm shelter and good food, but most importantly, they have the right to be wanted and loved. They have the right to be a special, much loved member of their own family. There are many organizations that deal with abused animals or animals that have no home like ASPCA, PETA, the Humane Society and many more. There are organizations that deal with this issue, but that does not mean that we still shouldnt help. The biggest saying that bothers me is, I am only one person. I cant make a difference. If everyone thought like that, we wouldnt have the organizations and loving people who help the world every day. By helping one animal, you are making a difference. There are many things you can do right now to help animals around your neighbourhood. You can volunteer at your local animal shelter, raise money for animal shelters, inform your community about animal abuse or you can write to your representatives(代表)and tell them that animal abuse needs to be taken seriously. As you walk down the street, try to help any animal you see walking around. You can easily buy a cheap box of dry cat or dog food to feed the animals. If we do not help our animals now, we may never have animals again. Always remember that with every step you take, you help save an animals life and isnt that worth fighting for?50. Some people wont stop kids from abusing animals because . A. they are too busy to worry about the animals B. they dont take animal abuse seriously C. they just leave it to the police D. they are afraid of being laughed at51. We can learn from the text that ASPCA . A. is another name for the Humane Society B. provides shelter for both animals and humans C. deals with such issues as education and global warming D. aims at protecting animals from being abused52. Which of the following statements will the writer agree with? A. Dogs have the right to be treated kindly B. One person cannot possibly make a difference C. More attention should be paid to education and global warning than animal abuse D. It is the politicians duty to stop animal abuse53. The main purpose of the text is to . A. hate those who abuse animals B. advise people to slap animal abuse C. show how animals are abused D. explain why people abuse animalsCIll never forget that summer day in 1965 when my mother suddenly died of an unexplained illness at the age of 36. Later that afternoon, a police officer stopped by to ask my father if the hospital could use Mothers corneas(角膜). I was shocked. “The doctors want to dissect Mum and give her away to other people!” I thought as I ran into the house in tears.“How can you let them do that to her?” I screamed at my father. “My mum came into this world in one piece and that is how she should go out.”“Linda,” Father said quietly, putting his arm around me, “the greatest gift you can give is a part of yourself. Your mother and I decided long ago that if we can make a difference in just one persons life after we die, our death will have meaning.” He went on to explain they had both decided to donate their organs(器官).The lesson my father taught me that day became one of the most important in my life.Years passed. I married and had a family of my own. In 1980, my father became seriously ill and moved in with us. He cheerfully told me that when he died, he wanted me to donate his eyes. “Sight is one of the greatest gifts a person can give,” he said.I told Wendy what her grandpa had said, and with tears in her eyes, she went into her grandpas room and gave him a big hug. She was only fourteen years old-the same age at which I was introduced to such a thing. What a difference!My father died on April 11,1986, and we donated his eyes as he had wanted. Three days later, Wendy said, “Mum, Im so proud of you for what did for Grandpa.”At that moment, I realized that my father gave much more than his eyes.54.How was it for the writer to agree the hospitals use of her mothers corneas? A. EasyB. PossibleC. SimpleD. Difficult55. According to the passage, the underlined word “dissect” may be best replaced by_. A. cut upB. search for C. move awayD.burn away56.Why did the writer finally agree on her mothers donation? A.Because she was afraid of her father B. Because she didnt care about it any more C. Because she was too young to stop it. D. Because her father explained to her57.What did Wendy think of her grandpas donation? A. At first she couldnt accept it, but she agreed in the end. B. She begged her mother not to donate her grandpas eyes. C. She felt proud of her grandpas donation D. She thought it normal and didnt car about it much.第卷(四大题，共51分)五、词汇检测(共10小题;每小题1分，满分10分) 根据下列句子及所给汉语注释或通过上下文，在答题卡上标有题号的横线上，写出空缺处各单词的正确形式。每空只写一词。58. Im sorry that your work is not up to the (标准) .59.

For example, we climbed a high mountain, tasted a rare food, or ran into a superstar on the street. But new research suggests that sharing these unusual experiences may not be welcomed in conversation. We all like unusual experiences, and always cant wait to share them with our friends. Some people even thought that having an unusual experience would make them the star of the conversation. However, it was wrong. To be unusual means to be different from other people. And if you do not share similarities with the people around you, they will not welcome you in the conversation. Besides, conversations always seem to go well on more usual topics. To find out, psychologists(心理学家)invited 68 participants(参与者)to come to the lab in groups of four. In each group, one watched a wonderful video of a magic performance, while the other three watched a cartoon video. After watching the videos, the participants sat around a table and had a short conversation. The participants who watched the magic performance said they felt worse after the conversation than those who watched the cartoon video. That was because they felt left out during the conversation. This finding suggests that we might want to give more thought in choosing which experiences to share with others. If an experience turns you into someone who has nothing in common with others, then no matter how good it was, it will not make you happy.73. What kind of topic can make conversations go well? 74. Why did psychologists do such an experiment(实验)? 75. Would you like to share your unusual experiences with your friends? Why or why not? 八、书面表达(共1题；满分20分) 越来越多的中学生选择出国留学，上周你们班就“Should students study abroad or not?”这一话题进行了讨论。请根据下表所给的提示，将讨论结果用英语写一篇短文，并发表你的看法。一些学生认同出国留学与人交流，利于语言学习了解文化，增进彼此理解一些学生反对出国留学年龄太小，不能照顾自己花费较大，父母很难承担你的观点考生自拟(至少1点)注意：1.词数90左右。短文的开头己为你写好，不计入总词数； 2.短文须包括所有要点，不要逐词翻译，可适当发挥，使短文连贯、通顺； 3.短文中不得出现真实的人名、校名等相关信息。 Should students study abroad or not?In recent years, more and more students go abroad for further study after graduating from middle school.
