Mind-reading1 MachineA team of researchers in California has developed a way to predict what kinds of objects people are looking at by scanning whats happening in their brains.When you look at something, your eyes send a signal about that object to your brain. Different regions of the brain process the information your eyes send. Cells in your brain called neurons are responsible for this processing.The fMRI (functional Magnetic Resonance Imaging ) 2 brain scans could generally match electrical activity in the brain to the basic shape of a picture that someone was looking at.Like cells anywhere else in your body, active neurons use oxygen. Blood brings oxygen to the neurons, and the more active a neuron is, the more oxygen it will consume. The more active a region of the brain, the more active its neurons, and in turn, the more blood will travel to that region. And by using fMRI, scientists can visualize3 which parts of the brain receive more oxygen-rich blood-and therefore, which parts are working to process information.An fMRI machine is a device that scans the brain and measures changes in blood flow to the brain. The technology shows researchers how brain activity changes when a person thinks, looks at something, or carries out an activity like speaking or reading. By highlighting the areas of the brain at work when a person looks at different images, fMRI may help scientists determine specific patterns of brain activity associated with different kinds of images.The California researchers tested brain activity by having two volunteers view hundreds of pictures of everyday objects, like people, animals, and fruits. The scientists used an fMRI machine to record the volunteers brain activity with each photograph they looked at. Different objects caused different regions of the volunteers brains to light up on the scan, indicating activity. The scientists used this information to build a model to predict how the brain might respond to any image the eyes see.In a second test, the scientists asked the volunteers to look at 120 new pictures. Like before, their brains were scanned every time they looked at a new image. This time, the scientists used their model to match the fMRI scans to the image. For example, if a scan in the second test showed the same pattern of brain activity that was strongly related to pictures of apples in the first test, their model would have predicted the volunteers were looking at apples.词汇：scan v. &n. 扫描visualize v. 使可见;设想neuron n. 神经元注释:1.

The programme offers guidance in finding rooms and jobs.Economists blame young peoples family dependence on the precarious labour market and increasing housing prices. Housing prices have risen 17 percent a year since 2000.Cultural reasons also contribute to the problem, say sociologists. Family ties in south Europe Italy, Portugal and Greece are stronger than those in middle and north Europe, said Spanish sociologist Almudena Moreno Minguez in her report “The Late Emancipation of Spanish Youth Key for Understanding”.“In general, young people in Spain firmly believe in the family as the main body around which their private life is organized,” said Minguez.In Spain especially in the countryside, it is not uncommon to find entire groups of aunts, uncles, cousins, nieces and nephews all living on the same street. They regularly get together for Sunday dinner.Parents tolerance is another factor. Spanish parents accept late-night partying and are wary of setting bedtime rules.“A child can arrive home at whatever time he wants. If parents complain hell put up a fight and call the father a fascist,” said Jose Antonio Gomez Yanez, a sociologist at Carlos III University in Madrid.Mothers willingness to do childrens household chores worsens the problem. Dionisio Masso, a 60-year-old in Madrid, has three children in their 20s. the eldest 28, has a girlfriend and a job. But life with mum is good.“His mum does the wash and cooks for him, in the end, he lives well.” Masso said.41The “Youth Emancipation” programme aims at helping young peopleAlive in an independent wayBfight for freedomCfight against social injusticeDget rid of family responsibilities42It can be inferred from paragraph 5 that family ties are stronger in Portugal than inAGreeceBFinland(位于欧洲北部)CSpain(位于欧洲西南)DItaly43Young peoples family dependence can be attributed to all the following factors EXCEPTAparents toleranceBhousing problemsCUnwillingness to get married.Dcultural traditions44Which of the following statements is NOT true of Dionisio Masso?Ahe has a boyfriendBShe is 60 years old.CShe has three childrenDShe lives in Madrid45The phrase “wary of” in paragraph 8 could be best replaced byAtired ofBafraid ofCworried aboutD cautious about答案与题解：41.

Dozens of people have expressed anger at the excess of plastic wrapping. Campaigners have called on Britain to learn from other European countries._47_B_.When returned bottles are put in a vending machines, the deposit is refunded. Environmentalists warn that Britain lags behind in this. There were reports of growing unease among consumers over the amount of packaging they have to deal with. Trade standards officers also object to excessive packaging _48_C_. In response to a campaign by Britains The Independent newspaper, leading supermarkets have pointed to various initiatives to win the public confidence._49_E_. But campaigners said retailers and the government could learn much from anti-waste practices on the Continent. In Sweden, non-recyclable batteries have been taxed since 1991 to encourage a switch to alternatives. _50_D_In Germany, plastic bags are unheard of in supermarkets and deposits are paid for reusable plastic and glass beverage (饮料)bottles.A. if a product is overpackaged, dont buy itB. In Belgium, when you buy something in a plastic or glass container, you make a deposit. C. this is because too much padding can give buyers a false impression of what they are buying.D. This has resulted in a 74 percent reduction in sales.E. Tesco said it was saving 112,000 tons of cardboard a year by switching to reusable plastic crates (板条箱)for transporting its fresh produce.F. The campaign was initiated by The Independent newspaper.答案与题解：因为反对浪费的运动要减少包装，英国的超级市场及零售商最近增加了压力。(这项运动由无党派报纸发起。)(这导致销量减少74%。)减少销量才会增加压力?因为包装，英国每年产生了4.6百万吨家庭废物。许多人曾对剩余的塑料包装表示过恼火。运动发起者呼吁英国向其它欧洲国家学习。(在比利时，你买东西用塑料或玻璃容器时，你必须交付押金。)(如果产品被包装两层，别买它。)这些都可以是比较先进的、减少浪费的观点。当返还的瓶子退回柜员机时，押金也偿还。环境保护者警告：英国在这方面已经落后了。他们不得不处置的消费品额外包装量报告增长了不安。贸易权威官员也反对过多的包装。(这是因为太多的填料导致顾客产生错误的印象：他都到底是在买什么?)(如果产品被包装两层，别买它。)权威部门都反对了，还买?为响应这个由无党派报纸发起的运动，主要的超市通过多种公开的行动赢得了公众的信任。(Tesco(英国最大的零售商)说转为使用可再度利用的塑料框，一年节约了112,000吨的纸板。)但运动发起者说零售商和政府应学习更多欧洲大陆反对浪费的惯例。在瑞典，1991年起不回收的电池必须缴税。(这导致销量减少74%。)(在比利时，你买东西用塑料或玻璃容器时，你必须交付押金。)(如果产品被包装两层，不买它。)我不知道瑞典的不回收电池是否减少70%的销量、瑞典是否不买包装两层(即过度包装)的商品，所以这3个答案好像都可。在德国，超市找不到塑料袋，押金用于可再利用的塑料或玻璃容器。(A)If a product is overpackaged, dont buy it.如果产品被包装两层，不买它。(B)In Belgium, when you buy something in a plastic or glass container, you make a deposit.在比利时，你买东西用塑料或玻璃容器时，你必须交付押金。(C)This is because too much padding can give buyers a false impression of what they are buying.这是因为太多的填料导致顾客产生错误的印象：都不知道是买什么(D)This has resulted in a 74 percent reduction in sales.这导致销量减少74%。(E)Tesco said it was saving 112,000 tons of cardboard a year by switching to reusable plastic crates for transporting its fresh produce.Tesco说，转为使用可再度利用的塑料框，一年节约了112,000吨的纸板。(F)The campaign was initiated by The Independent newspaper.这个运动由无党派报纸发起。标准答案为 FBCED第六题：完形填空Taking a nap during the dayTaking a Nap During the DayMedical experts say most Americans do not get1sleep. They say more Americans need to rest for a short period in the middle of the day. They are advising people to sleep lightly before2with other activities.One study earlier this year found that persons who sleep for a few minutes during the day were less3to die of disease. The study followed more than 2,300 Greek adults4about six years. Adult who rested for half an hour 5three times a week had a 37 percent lower risk of dying from heart disease than those who did not nap.Study organizers said the strongest evidence was in working men. They said naps might improve 6 by mitigating tension caused by work.Some European and Latin American businesses have supported the 7of napping for many years. They urge people to8work, go home and have a nap before returning. In the United States, some companies let workers rest briefly in their offices. They believe this reduces in their offices. They believe this reduces9and accidents, and10increases the amount of work a person can do.Sleep experts say it is likely that people make more mistakes at work than at other times1. They say people should not carry out important duties when they feel11. And they say the best thing to do is to take a nap. About twenty minutes of rest is12you need. Experts say this provides extra energy and can increase your effectiveness13the end of the day. But experts warn that a nap14last no more than twenty to thirty minutes. A longer nap will put thebody into deep sleep2 and waking up3 will be15词汇:Nap n. 打盹 mitigate v.减价urge v.催促，劝告注释:1.people make more mistakes at work than at other times：人们在工作(时间)中出错的概率比其它的时间要多。本句中的at work可以理解为during their work time。2.putinto deep sleep：使进人深睡状态3.waking up：从上下文判断，waking up是“自己醒过来”的意思，不是“唤醒”。练习:1.

A helpful B difficult C easy D happy答案与题解:1.D本段第二句说“more Americans need to rest for a short period in the middle of the day”。引导我们选择(not)enough。因为睡眠不够，才要中午“打个盹”。选项A：文不对题。选项B：bad(sleep)与上下文不符，因为通篇文章没有提到过，中午打盹的原因是晚上没有睡好。选项C：明显不合乎逻辑。“由于没有睡不好(即：晚上睡好了)，白天还要补睡一会儿”，于理说不通。所以，惟一合理的选择是enough。 2.C空格2所在句子的意思是：医学专家建议人们在进行其它活动之前，最好小睡一会。四个选项中，只有continuing(选项C)最接近上述的理解。3.B空格3所在的句子说的是“心脏病致死”的问题，lo
