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

smelly animals that get no respect. theyre also an environmental hazard. their manure(粪便)contains phosphorus(磷)，which, when it rains, runs off into lakes and rivers, consuming oxygen, killing fish, stimulating algae(藻类)overgrowth and emitting greenhouse gases. doing away with the pig is not an option. pigs provide more dietary protein, more cheaply, to more people than any other animal. northern europe still maintains the highest pig-to-human ratio(比率)in the world (2-1 in denmark), but east asia is catching up. during the 1990s, pork production doubled in vietnam and grew by 70 percent in chinaalong densely populated coastlines, pig density exceeds 100 animals per square kilometer. the resulting pollution is “threatening fragile coastal marine habitats including mangroves(红树林)，coral reefs and sea grasses ,”according to a report released in february by the food and agriculture organization of the united nations.as it turns out, there is a solution to the pig problem, but it requires a change of mind-set among environmentalists and the public. two canadian scientists have created a pig whose manure doesnt contain very much phosphorus at all. if this variety of pig were adopted widely, it could greatly reduce a major source of pollution. but the enviropig, as they call it, is the product of genetic modificationwhich is anathema(忌讳) to many westerners. the enviropig is one of many new technologies that are putting environmentalists and organic-food supporters in a quandary: should they remain categorically(无条件) opposed to genetically modified (gm)foods even at the expense of the environment? elsewhere, trees grown for paper could be made amenable to much more efficient processing, reducing both energy usage and toxic chemical bleach(漂白剂) in waste water from paper mills. the most significant gm applications will be ones that help lessen the problem of agriculture , which accounts for 38percent of the worlds landmass and is crowding out natural ecosystems and species habitats.chances are, farmers will continue to grow their polluting organic pork, their allergenic(引起过敏的)organic soy and their neurotoxin(神经毒素) sprayed organic apples. worse still, they will make sure that no one else gets a choice in the matter of improving the conditions of life on earthunless, that is, others rise up and demand an alternative.11.which of the following statements is true?a. pigs bring more destruction than benefit to human beings.b. no other countries have the higher percentage of pig-to-human than east asia.c. the pork production has increased to 70 in china.d. the pollution brought by pigs is a killer to the creature of the sea.12. the reason accounting for the hesitation to accept the idea of the enviropig is_.a. the poor technology b. the high costc. the moral concept d. the doubt from the public13. what does the underlined word “quandary” mean?a. an agreement b. a negotiationc. a dilemma d. an adventure14. the negative influence brought by the traditional agriculture is_-.a. more living space occupation b. more crop improvementc. more food production d. more chemical application15. what is the best title of the passage?a. how to raise pigs b. whether to choose the gm foodsc. whats gm foods d. the pollution brought by pigs【参考答案】1115、dccab 【浙江省2014高考英语模拟冲刺卷】书面表达（满分30分）请以the persons helping me
