But for penguins, they cannot get a taste of this happiness. Thats because penguins cant actually taste the delicious flavors (味道) of their favorite food-fish!Scientists from the University of Michigan examined the genome (基因组)of five species of penguins. They found that no one can taste umami (鲜味),the flavor of meat or fish, the BBC reported.Many animals have five basic tastes: sweet, sour, salty, bitter and umami. But according to genetic data, penguins are believed to have only sour and salty tastes.These findings are surprising and puzzling. And scientists dont have a good explanation for them. But they have a few ideas.First, one of the umami genes doesnt work in cold temperatures. Its about zero degrees when they eat cold fish, Zhang Jianzhi, the lead scientist, told the Daily Mail, so even if the penguins had a functional (功能的)gene, it might not work when they needed it.Second, penguins tongues (舌头) are very special which may have something to do with their lack of taste. Instead of being covered with taste buds which help to taste food, penguins tongues are very spiky. This is better for them to hold slippery (滑的) fish than tasting them. One study even showed that some types of penguins dont even have taste buds.However, penguins seem to be managing just fine.Their behavior of swallowing food whole, and their tongue structure and function, suggest that penguins need no taste perception, said Zhang.（1）How many tastes do penguins have? A . FourB . ThreeC . TwoD . Five.（2）From the passage, we can learn that _. A . temperatures can decide the umami genes of penguinsB . the umami genes in penguins would work when neededC . penguins umami genes work well in cold temperaturesD . penguins tongues are very slippery（3）The underlined word spiky means _. A . 圆滑的B . 美味的C . 钉子似的D . 软绵绵的（4）All of the following decide that penguins need no taste perception EXCEPT _. A . they always swallow food wholeB . they live in cold temperaturesC . their tongue function is differentD . their tongue structure is special（5）The study finds that _. A . different penguins have their own favorite fishB . penguins have different genomes for the five tastesC . penguins dont have any of the five basic tastesD . penguins cant taste the flavor of fish19. （10分）阅读理解 Getting a high grade in an exam depends partly on how much you can remember. So, improving memory is important to success in studying. But is there anything that we can do about it? One way might be walking backwards. According to a new study, walking backwards, whether doing it really or just imagining it, can improve the memory in the short term.In the study, 114 volunteers were asked to watch a video. In the video a woman had her bag stolen. Then they answered 20 questions about the details shown in the video. Ten minutes later, the volunteers were divided into three groups. The first two groups were told to move forwards or backwards 10 meters while the third group was asked to stay still on the same point. The researchers found that the backwards-walking group got two more correct answers on average (平均) than the other two groups.This suggests that a relationship between time and space is basic to the way our minds form memories. When we walk backwards, everything we learn becomes strange to us. This forces the brain to think in a different waythe brain needs to match all the things again and changes the focus(关注点), the researcher Christine Weber said. It almost always means that our brain needs to be more active in the short time. Naturally, our short-term memory will be improved.Backward walking also plays an important role in physical health, especially fitness. A study published in Journal of Biomechanics in 2012 found that there is less pain in the knees.Moreover, backward walking, compared to forward walking, is more challenging. It requires you to use muscles(肌肉) and movements that you probably seldom use, making it a perfect way to change your exercise habit for greater fitness gains. At the same time, by making people put in extra effort, it naturally burns more fat and calories.（1）Backward walking can_ according to the passage. A . improve the memory in the long termB . improve the memory in the short termC . cause much more pain in our kneesD . force the brain to think in the same way（2）Which one is the correct order of the following according to the passage? The backwards-walking group got two more correct answers on average.The volunteers answered 20 questions about the details shown in the video The volunteers were divided into 3 groups and 1 group moved backward 10 meters.The volunteers watched a video in which a womans bag was stolen.A . B . C . D . （3）What does the underlines word It in Paragraph 5 refer to_? A . Short-term memoryB . Physical healthC . Forward walkingD . Backward walking（4）In which part of the newspaper can we read this passage? A . Youth VoiceB . Star StoriesC . Our WorldD . Science Study20. （10分）阅读理解 Its seven fifty in the morning.

Here are some tips for you.Tip 1 You have to show up, which can be a challenge for many of us. You can show up as an observer(旁观者) of other interesting people and let that be a learning experience for you, Before you start talking, its important to just listen, even if you think you are a wise storyteller. If you are close to a group of people who are discussing a topic, watch their body language and see if they will let you join in their conversation.Tip2 Youd better go in the conversation with a couple of topics to keep it going, or questions to, ask if there is a short stop. Simple things like How do you know the host? and How did you get there? are always good conversation starters to a certain extent(在定程度上).Tip 3 Dont fear silences. Awkward(令人尴尬的) silences are common part of talking with people. Just rush to fill them. If you dont want to go on with the conversation, just say you are going to get another drink or something to eat, and find another group to talk with.Tip 4 Relax If you cannot keep a conversation going, or you dont know what you should say next, give yourself a little time to clear your head. Relax, and then turn back into the discussion.When you meet new people, you always want to leave a good impression. But do you know how to be a good speaker? Here is some advice for you.The first advice is that you have to show up and observe or listen to others even if you can tell stories _. If you go near a group of people, watch their body language to see if they will offer you a _ to talk with them. The second advice for you is that some topics should be _ before the conversation.
