Thats what Beckys life is like.Three years ago, Becky was reading a newspaper article which mentioned that it was impossible forpeople torememberthedetails of their lifein thefirst three years. “What nonsense !”she thought, because she could clearly remember her life all the way back to when she was just 12 daysold.Her parentshad carried her tothe drivers seatof their car and laid her down for a photo. But it wasnt nonsense. She was just one of only 80 known people suffering from a mysterious condition called HSAM(超忆症）.Beckys unusual case was shown on a program called 60 Minutes，where reporterAllison testedherabilitybyasking her questions abouther favoritebookseries, Harry Potter. Allison would pick up a book and open a page and read her a line. Immediately Becky would name the book, chapter number, chapter name and could recite every word until Allison told her to stop.Being able to remember every little detail is great, but as every HSAM sufferer willtell you, its also toughto deal withit. We always forgetthings to get over sad experiences in our lives, but its somethingthatpeoplelike Beckycantdo. Even walking on the street and lightlyknocking into somebodycan bring some bad memoriesfrom Beckyschildhood. Also, like Becky, people with HSAM never do well in school, because they have problems picking up the important information from what theyve learnt.Beckys great brain could help scientists find a cure for terrible mental illnesses likeAlzheimers (老年痴呆症）.Hercondition could hold the secretto treatingor evenpreventing Alzheimers.24.

Beckys case is helpful for scientists to treat Alzheimers.COn a rainy day, the raincoat and the umbrella have been necessary forpeople to protect themselves from the rain for centuries. However, Chinese designers are trying to challenge that with a new product called an “umbrella raincoat”.As the name suggests, this wonderful rainwear design binesthe raincoat and the umbrella. For starters, it looks kind of strange, and sellers on Chinese websites actually list this fact as the only disadvantage(缺点）of the product. They actually describe it a little differently “You will get 100% rateof second glances( 瞥）”you actually know what it means. Also, like the umbrella, it only protects your upper body from the rain, withthe lowerbody and legs being almost pletely exposed(暴露）.However, it does free up both your hands, which is actually the main advantage of wearing an umbrella raincoat.“But isnt the classic raincoat just better?” hear you asking. Well, not if you want toshow offyour dresses while still enjoying some protection from the rain. Even those clear raincoats bee foggy in the rain, making it hard for passers-by to admire your fancy dresses, however, with the umbrella coat, they still have a clear view. Other advantages include a lightweight, foldable(可折叠的)design, two straps that keep it from being blown away by strong winds.The umbrellaraincoat es in all kinds of sizes and colors,and if the online stores who are going to sell it are believers, it will soon replace the traditional umbrella, and go into thehousesof hundreds of millions of families. Butbelieveit ornot， I think it will play a key role in peoples everyday life.If this thing had been invented in America， I wouldnt have bothered writing about it. Those guys e upwith somethingstrange everyday, butit turns out that China has a taste for them, too.28.Its implied in the underlined sentence in Paragraph 2 that the umbrella raincoatA. is very fashionableB. is very usefulC. looks a little strangeD. makes you well-known29. What is the main advantage of the umbrella raincoat?A. Making our hands free.B. Protecting our body.C. Showing off our dresses.D. Giving us a clear view.30.Howdoes the author feel about the umbrella raincoatinventedin China?A. Critical.B. Surprised.C. Indifferent.D. Doubtful.31. What is the best title for this text?A. Chinese Strange InventionsB. Advantages of Chinese UmbrellaC. Disadvantages of TraditionalRaincoatD. Chinese Umbrella RaincoatDIt is easy for us to tell our friends from our enemies. But can other animals do thesame? Elephants can! They can use their sense of sight and smell to tell the differencebetween dangerous people and those who are not. In Kenya, researchers found thatelephants react differently to clothing worn by men of the Maasai and Kamba ethnicgroups. Young Maasai men kill animals and thus are a threat to elephants; Kambamen are mainly farmers and are not a danger to elephants.In an experiment conducted by animal scientists, elephants were first presented with clean clothing or clothing that had been worn for five days by either a Maasai or a Kamba man. When the elephants noticed the smell of clothing worn by a Maasai man, they moved away fromthe smell faster than when theynoticed the smells of either clothing wornby Kamba men or clothing that had not been worn at all.Garment color also plays a role, though in a differentway. Inthe same study, when the elephants saw red clothing not worn before, they reacted angrily, as red is typically worn by Maasai men. Instead of running away as they did with the smell, the elephants acted aggressively(侵略性的）toward the red clothing.The researchers believe that the elephants reactionsaredue totheir differentunderstandings ofthe smells and the sights. Smellinga possible danger means that a threat is nearby and the best thing to do is run away and hide. Seeing a threat without its smell means that risk is low. Therefore, instead of showing fear and running away, the elephants express their anger and bee aggressive.32.Thewriterwrote the passage in order totell us that elephantsare.A. cuteB.smartC. dangerousD.agressive33. When finding himself in danger, an elephant.A. doesnt know what to doB. will rush to the enemy at onceC. doesnt always run awayD. often keeps quiet and relaxed34. Elephants think Kamba men are safe because they.A. like the smell of Kamba menB. know Kambamen dont kill animalsC. know Kamba men love themD. like the color of Kamba mens clothes35. In which magazine will the passage be found most probably?A. Nature.B.History.C. Fashion.D.Business.第二节（共5小题；每小题2分，满分10分）根据短文内容，从短文后的选项中选出能填人空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。If you live in New York, you can always e across a special sight a public trash cans contain various colorful flowers. 36 They have beenall over the city and putting a smile on peoples faces.They are the work of Lewis Miller, a designer who uses leftover flowers and plantsfrom weddings and other events.37 At that time he and his team brought 2,000 flowers to a party to create some colorful scenes.
