Losing myself in painting filled me with peace. Painting provided me with the only place where I could escape from those threatening words.When I was twentyone, my right eye went blind. Precisely three months after my twentyfifth birthday, I had a massive hemorrhage(大出血) in my left eye because of an accidentFor the next twenty years, vision came and went. I went through many eye operations in an attempt to keep my vision. But after one final operation, I lost the battle and all remaining vision. And I buried all dreams of painting.Desperate, I enrolled in(注册) a sixteenweek program for the blind and visually impaired(受损的). I learned personal adjustment and the use of a computer with adaptive software. A whole new world opened up to me through this program.“JAWS and WindowEyes are leading software for the blind，” my instructor told me. “You can use the Internet, email and Microsoft with all its tools and features” Its amazing!

In their study published on Thursday, Ishiyama and his adviser Michael Brecht found that rats squeaked and jumped with pleasure when tickled on their backs and bellies. These signs of joy changed according to their moods. And for the first time, they discovered a special group of nerve cells. These nerve cells made this feeling so powerful that it causes a rat being tickled to lose control.To make sure that he had indeed found a place in the brain where tickling was processed, Ishiyama then stimulated(刺激) that area with electrical currents. The rats began to jump like rabbits and sing like birds.“Its truly groundbreaking，” said Jeffrey Burgdorf, a neuroscientist at Northwestern University who reviewed the paper“It takes the study of emotion to a new level”Burgdorf has played a central role in our understanding of animal tickling. He was part of a team that first noticed, in the late 1990s, that rats made special noises when they were experiencing social pleasure. Others had already noted that rats repeatedly made short and high sounds during meals. But the lab where Burgdorf worked noticed that they emitted similar sounds while playing. And so one day, the senior scientist in the lab said, “Lets go and tickle some rats” They quickly found that those cries of pleasure doubled.“The authors have been very adventurous，” said Daniel OConnor, a neuroscientist at Johns Hopkins University. To him, that finding was very surprising.“Why does the world literally feel different when you are stressed out？” he said“This is the first step towards answering that question. It gives us a way to approach it with experimental rigor(严谨)”【解题导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章中科学家通过刺激老鼠来记录它们的神经细胞的反应，所得出的结论将对情绪的研究提升到了一个新的高度。5What contributed to humans being ticklish according to Aristotle?ATheir special skin.BTheir social pleasure.CTheir nervous system.DTheir willingness to touch.A解析：细节理解题。根据第一段中的“since Aristotle expected that humans, given their thin skin and unique ability to laugh, were the only ticklish animals”可知，亚里士多德认为人类由于其皮肤薄，而且有独特的笑的能力而成为唯一怕痒的动物，所以正确答案为A。6Which of the following statements will Jeffrey Burgdorf agree with?AThe research process is full of risks.BThe finding of the study is surprising and unbelievable.CThe new discovery is beneficial for the study of emotion.DThe finding of the study actually contradicts modern science.C解析：推理判断题。根据第四段中的“It takes the study of emotion to a new level”可知，这项研究成果把对情绪的研究提升到了一个新的高度，显然，这对情绪的研究是有益处的。故答案为C。7The underlined word “squeaked” in Paragraph 2 may be replaced by “_”.Agave a smileBmade a noiseCburst into tearsDwatched with staring eyesB解析：词义猜测题。根据该词后面的“jumped with pleasure when tickled on their backs and bellies”可知，当在老鼠的背部和腹部挠痒痒的时候，它们会高兴地跳起来，再结合第三段中的“The rats began to jump like rabbits and sing like birds”可知，此处是“发出声音”的意思，故选B。8What is the best title for the text?AThe Life of RatsBHow Rats LaughCA Wonderful ScientistDA New Discovery about RatsD解析：标题归纳题。根据全文内容可知，文章主要讲述了一项关于老鼠的新发现。故答案为D。 七选五(2019郑州一中高三摸底)Teenagers are especially likely to suffer lonelinessHere are some suggestions for speeding a recovery from loneliness.Reach out to others, but start smallA smile and a friendly greeting for the student behind you in line at the cafeteria wont make you best friends. 1._ It also can make it easier to interact the next time.Find a safe place to make connectionsIf going to the school dance makes you feel like you just dont belong, try joining a specialinterest groupMaybe its the drama club or the marching band. 2_Find other ways of making connections.
