think about what intelligence is，many people believe that a person is born smart，average，or dumband stays that way in the whole life.but new research shows that the brain is more like a muscleit changes and gets stronger when you use it.and scientists have been able to show just how the brain grows and gets stronger when you learn.everyone knows that when you lift weights，your muscles get bigger and you get stronger.a person who cant lift 20 pounds when he/she starts exercising can get strong enough to lift 100 pounds after working out for a long time.thats because the muscles become larger and stronger with exercise.and when you stop exercising，the muscles shrink and you get weaker.thats why people say “use it or lose it！” but most people dont know that when they practice and learn new things，parts of their brain change and get larger a lot like muscles do when they exercise.inside the cortex (皮层) of the brain are billions of tiny nerve cells，called neurons.the nerve cells have branches connecting them to other cells in a complicated network.communication between these brain cells is what allows us to think and solve problems.when you learn new things，these tiny connections in the brain actually multiply and get stronger.the more you challenge your mind to learn，the more your brain cells grow.then，things that you once found very hard or even impossible to dolike speaking a foreign language or doing algebra (代数)seem to become easy after learning them for a period of time.the result is a stronger，smarter brain.scientists started thinking that the human brain could develop and change when they studied animals brains.they found out that animals that lived in a challenging environment were more “perspicacious”they were better at solving problems and learning new things.1. according to the first paragraph，_.athe function of our brain is like that of the musclebuntil now its impossible to explain the brains mysterycmany people believe ones

report-which was based on surveys carried out in britain, france, germany, italy, spain, greece, poland and the czech republic - concluded that the european union was “ the new sick man of europe”. the percentage of europeans with a favorable view of the eu has plunged from 60 percent last year to 45 percent now.the uk may be considered the most eurosceptic（欧洲怀疑论者）country, but its support for the union has barely changed in the past 12 months, slipping only two points to 43 percent.by contrast, frances backing for the eu has slipped sharply, from 60 percent last year to 41 percent today.on the question of whether to remain in the eu, 46 percent of the british want to leave the union and surprisingly, the same percentage went to stay.the pew reports authors said, “the long-drawn economic crisis has created bad forces that are pulling european public opinion apart, separating the french from the germans and germans from everyone else.”they added, “the effort over the past half century to create a more united europe is now the main disaster of the euro crisis. the european project now stands in a bad reputation across much of europe.”the only european leader rated highly by their own voters was the german chancellor angela merkel, with 74 percent voters in favor of her.prime minister david cameron was the next highest with a positive score of 37 percent among the british public, although he can take some comfort from the fact that 58 percent of poles and half of all french people think he is doing a good job.in spite of the dark economic future and growing doubt of the eu, there were strong majorities of more than 60 percent in favor of keeping the euro in the five countries surveyed that use the single currency.1. which of the following is true about the recent pew report?a. the uk has the smallest number of people against the eu.b. theres a slight change of the uks support for the eu.c. more than half the germans raise doubt about the eu.d. a vast majority

square miles.the atlantic has，in a sense，replaced the mediterranean as the inland sea of western civilization.unlike real inland seas，which seem strangely still，the atlantic is rich in oceanic liveliness.it is perhaps not surprising that its vitality has been much written about by ancient poets.“storm at sea”，a short poem written around 700，is generally regarded as one of mankinds earliest artistic representations of the atlantic.when the wind is from the westall the waves that cannot rest to the east must thunder on where the bright tree of the sunis rooted in the oceans breast.as the poem suggests，the atlantic is never dead and dull.it is an ocean that moves，impressively and endlessly.it makes all kinds of noiseit is forever thundering，boiling，crashing，and whistling.it is easy to imagine the atlantic trying to draw breathperhaps not so noticeably out in midocean，but where it meets land，its waters bathing up and down a sandy beach.it mimics(模仿)nearly perfectly the steady breathing of a living creature.it is filled with symbiotic existences，too：unimaginable quantities of creatures，little and large alike，mix within its depths in a kind of oceanic harmony，giving to the waters a feeling of heartbeat，a kind of subocean vitality.and it has a psychology.it has personalities：sometimes peaceful and pleasant，on rare occasions rough and wild；always it is strong and striking.9unlike real inland seas，the atlantic ocean is _.aalways energetic blacking in livelinesscshaped like a square dfavored by ancient poets解析细节理解题。从第一段中的“unlike real inland seas，which seem strangely still，the atlantic is rich in oceanic liveliness.”可知，liveliness(精力充沛，活跃)与energetic近义，故答案为a项。答案a10what is the purpose of using the poem “storm at sea” in the passage?ato describe the movement of the waves.bto show the strength of the storm.cto represent the power of the ocean.dto prove the vastness of the sea.解析推理判断题。从诗歌下面的一段“as the poem suggests，the atlantic is never dead and dull.it is an ocean that moves，impressively and endlessly.it makes all kinds of noiseit is forever thundering，boiling，crashing，and whistling.”可知，这首诗主要向我们描述了海洋的强大力量。答案c11what does the underlined word “symbiotic” mean?aliving together. bgrowing fast.cmoving harmoniously. dbreathing peacefully.解析词义猜测题。划线单词所在的句子后边用了冒号，后边的内容是对前边句子的解释，从下文“unimaginable quantities of creatures，little and large alike，mix within its depths in a kind of oceanic harmony”中的mix within等字眼可知，划线单词意为“共生的”，故a项符合要求。答案a12in the last paragraph，the atlantic is compared to _.aa beautiful and poetic placeba flesh and blood personca wonderful worldda lovely animal解析推理判断题。从最后一句“it has personalities：sometimes peaceful and pleasant，on rare occasions rough and wild；always it is strong and striking.”中可以看出，大西洋有个性：有时安静，有时野蛮等，把这些用来描绘人的词汇用来描写大西洋，所以此处把大西洋比喻成了一个有血有肉的人。答案b阅读理解dear santa claus,my name is amy. i am 9 years old. i have a problem at school. can you help me, santa? kids laugh at me
