brain! between 2 and 3 pounds of wonder, it controls everything we say, do or think, who we are and what we care about. the way we walk or laugh or figure out things. what we like and the talents we possess. how we see and talk and run and jump and process our food. the brain uses 20 percent of our bodys oxygen and 20 percent of its blood. somewhere within its protein, fat, 100,000 miles of blood vessels and 100 billion nerve cells, it helps us remember where we put our gym shoes. change our temperature so we dont die because of the heat or cold. speed us up or slow us down. help us choose between orange juice or orangeflavored drinks. its complexity are stunning, far beyond anything most of us can imagine. to keep this work of art as polished as possible we need to eat right, exercise and keep mentally stimulated（增强）. good nutrition helps brain cells communicate with each other. exercise stimulates a hormone in our brain that improves memory. mental stimulation keeps you sharp even as you age.“its very important that we tell people to be physically active and mentally active,” said neurologist malcolm stewart.“people cannot stop aging, but youre able to reduce the damage; youre able to keep the function up.”following are dr. stewarts advice for improving brain health：nutritionavoid fast food. follow the old saying: for breakfast, eat like a king; for lunch, like a queen; for supper, like a beggar.exercisedo a combination of stretching aerobic and musclestrengthening every day.mental gamestry to have a sense of hope about the future. do puzzles. listen to music. reach out to others to make their lives better.56. the purpose of the author in writing this passage is to _.a. inform us how the brain works b. give us advice on how to keep the brain healthy c. tell us that the brain plays an important role in our lives d. show how special the brain is to us 57. the underlined word “stunning” means _.a. interesting b. strange c. significant d. amazing 58. according to the text，more exercise _.a. keeps our mind sharp b. helps improve our memory c. gives our brain a rest d. is good for brain cells communicating with each other 59. in order to keep brain healthy，we should avoid _.a. eating a good lunch b. doing puzzles c. eating a large supper d. taking aerobic exercise bexpensive and new gloves allow chatterboxes（话匣子）to take the term “handsfree” to a new levelby talking into them as they make a call. the gloves are known as “talk to the hand” and cost 1,000 a pair. they fixed a speaker unit into the thumb and a microphone into the little finger that can be connected to any mobile handset using bluetooth.artist sean miles designed the new gloves that double as a phone in part of his project that shows the possibilities of gadget（小配件）recycling. he uses outdated gloves and combines them with parts from mobile handsets recycled through o2, which commissioned（承担）the project. mobile phone users will be able to keep their hands warm while they chat without taking their phones out of their pockets or handbags.mr miles designed two pairs of the new glovesone in pink and the other in brown and yellow. they will appear in an exhibition this july and visitors will be able to win the gloves. if demand is high, they will then be produced on a larger scale. o2 recycle, which commissioned the project, estimates that there are already 70 million unused mobile handsets in the uk. the service pays up to 260 to those who recycle gadgets including phones, handheld consoles, mp3 players and digital cameras.designer sean miles hopes his work will get people thinking about recycling. the 41-year-old said, “i hope that my talk to the hand project will get people to think again about the waste created by not recycling gadgets. if a few more people recycle their gadgets rather than send them to trash, i think this project will have fulfilled its aim.”bill eyres, head of o2 recycle, urges people to recycle their phone responsibly. he said, “theres a urgent need for all of us to look at outdated handsets, and all the gadgets that we move on from or upgrade each year. whether they are consoles or cameras, we should think of them as a resource that we need to recycle responsibly rather than throw them away.” 60. the underlined word “o2” in paragraph 2 is probably the name of _. a. an artist b. a company c. a mobile d. an exhibition61. consumers can buy the “talk to the hand” gloves _.a. in the exhibition b. from mr milesc. when they are mass produced d. after they recycle the gadgets62. the purpose of the project is to _.a. promote the technology of itb. enable people to talk to their handsc. raise peoples awareness of recyclingd. attract visitors attention in the exhibition63. what is the passage mainly about?a. new mobiles that are fashionable.b. outdated handsets that are upgraded.c. outdated gadgets that can be used for recycling.d. new gloves that can be used for making phone calls. cthe government of norway is planning to build an unusual storage center on an island in the arctic ocean. the place would be large enough to hold about two million seeds. the goal is to present all crops known to scientists. the british magazine new scientist published details of the plan last month. the structure will be designed to protect the worlds food supply against nuclear war, climate change and other possible threats. it will be built in a mountain on the norwegian island of spitsbergen. the mountain is less than one thousand kilometers from the north pole, the northernmost position on earth.an international group called the global crop diversity trust is working on the project. the director of the group, cary fowler, spoke to new scientist. he said the project would let the world rebuild agriculture if, in his word, “the worst came to the worst”. norway is expected to start work next year. the project is expected to cost three million dollars. workers will drill deep in the side of a sandstone mountain. temperatures in the area never rise above 0c. the seeds will be protected behind walls a meter thick and high-security door.the magazine report says the collection will represent the products of ten thousand years of farming. most of the seeds at first will come from collections at seed banks in africa, asia and latin america. to last a long time, seeds need to be kept in very low temperatures. workers will not be present all the time. but they plan to replace the air inside the storage space each winter. winter temperatures on the island are about eighteen degrees below 0c. the cold weather would protect the seeds even if the air could not be replaced.学校 班级 姓名 考号 密 封 线 内 不 准 答 题mr. fowler says the proposed structure will be the worlds most reliable gene bank. he says the plant seeds would only be used when all other seeds are gone for some reason. norway first proposed the idea in the 1980s. but security concerns delayed the plan. at that time, the soviet union was meeting in rome of the food and agriculture organization.64the project is meant to _.aincrease the worlds food output in the futurebcarry out some scientific experiments on plant genescprotect
