It is said that the sweet treat(对待；款待) can be helpful in calculating. The study, shown at the British Psychological Society meeting, is great news for students who like chocolate best when preparing for maths exams. For the study, 30 volunteers(志愿者) were asked to calculate in groups of three from numbers between 800 and 999 created by a computer. The findings showed that they could do the calculations more quickly and correctly after they had been given chocolate. The findings also showed that the volunteers did not get tired easily even if they were being asked to do the calculations over and over for an hour. However, it was not true when the volunteers were asked to calculate in groups of seven. That is to say, chocolate has less effect(影响) on a more difficult task because different calculations need different parts of the brain(脑子). Why does chocolate have effect on the human brain? That is because chocolate has flavanols, which can increase(增长) the blood flow(血流量) to the brain. That is to say, they are good for our brains. In fact, not only chocolate but also some fruit and vegetables have flavanols, such as apples and grapes. So, the more fruit and vegetables that are high in flavanols we eat, the better that is for our brains.( ) 58. Why did the volunteers do the calculations more quickly and correctly? A. Because they were good at maths. B. Because they were given chocolate to eat. C. Because the calculations in groups of three were easy. D. Because they were good at calculations in groups of three.( ) 59. Where can you find flavanols? A. In our blood. B. In our brains. C. In meat and eggs. D. In apples and grapes. ( ) 60. Which of the following is NOT true? A. Chocolate can make some differences to the human brain. B. 30 volunteers were asked to do the experiment in the study. C. The volunteers became tired after they did the calculations for half an hour. D. Calculations in groups of seven are more difficult than those in groups of three.七、阅读短文还原句子（共8分，每小题2分）阅读短文，根据上下文意思，将方框中的句子还原到短文中适当位置，使其通顺完整，并将其字母代号写在横线上。其中有一句不选。 A: At noon I have lunch at school.B: Sometimes we can do some sports in the afternoon.C: I dont have time to watch TV every evening.D: I have to get up at 6:00 in the morning.E: I usually leave home at 6:30.My name is Daming.

The changes may seem great, but they usually happened slowly over thousands of years.Ancient Climate HistoryThe first people arrived in America between 15,000 and 30,000 years ago. During that time, much of North America was covered by great ice sheets (冰盖). The last ice sheet began to melt(融化)very quickly 14,000 years ago. By 7,000 years ago, the ice was gone.This end of the ice ages caused big changes on the earth, for example, many kinds of plants and animals died out.The Little Ice Age(小冰川期)Starting in the 14th century, Europeans lived through what is known as the “Little Ice Age”. The Little Ice Age lasted for several hundred years. During the Little Ice Age, the advance(进展) of glaciers(冰川) along with hard winters and famines(饥荒)caused some people had nothing to eat and others left their homes.Recent Climate HistoryThe earth has warmed about 1 Fahrenheit(华氏度) in the last 100 years. The eight warmest years on record (since 1850) have all happened since 1998, with the warmest year being 2005. Increased heat（热）from the sun may have helped make the earth warmer. But many of the worlds leading climatologists(气象学家) think that the greenhouse gases produced by human are making the earth warmer, too.What Might Happen? Scientists cant know exactly what will happen in the future. But they can use special computer programs to find out how the climate may change in the years ahead. And the computer programs tell us that the earth may still be getting warmer. 65.When did the last ice sheet begin to melt very quickly in North America?_.66. Did this end of the ice ages cause the death of many kinds of plants and animals?_.67. How long did the Little Ice Age last?_.68.
