this opinion holds a certain appeal because if it were true, then we could instantly become ten times more intelligent just by firing up that sleepy majority of the brain! the idea that we use only a small part of the brain dates back to animal experiments in the 19th century. when scientists stimulated (刺激) a specific part. of the brain, the animal moved its leg or tail. if a tiny part of the brain could do something so great, what was the use of the rest of the brain? some scientists assumed that large parts of the brain were simply useless. then, in the early 20th century, scientists observed that stimulating certain parts of the brain had no physical effects. they named these seemingly useless parts of the brain the silent cortex. today we know that in humans, much of the silent cortex is actually devoted to complex activities like language, learning, and imagining. brain scans have shown that different parts of the brain become much more active as we shift (切换) our attention and focus, but even as we sleep, many areas of the brain are extremely active. would you be smarter if your entire brain constantly worked to maximum capacity (能力)?interestingly enough, the opposite is probably true. the less brain activity you need to perform a given task, the more the brain as a whole is able to do.8.why does the opinion mentioned in paragraph l seem appealing? a. people wish to become much smarter. b. people believe it. is scientific. c. people know nothing about the brain. d. people want to make little use of their brain,9.what did scientists discover in their experiment in the 20th century? a. the majority of the brain is sleeping. b. animals legs and tails have some connection with their brain. c. stimulation on some parts of the brain causes no physical reaction. d. certain parts of the brain are devoted to language and learning activities,10.silent cortex has proved to be _. a. sensitive to stimulation b. useful in complex activities c. responsible for physical reaction d. more active than the other parts of the brain11.if you need less brain activity to perform a task, a. you will feel sleepy b. you must shift your focus c. you can use your brain to the fullestd. you will be more productiveda new pollen (花粉) study showed that drought was responsible for the extinction of civilizations more than 3,000 years ago during the bronze age.the reason behind why the civilizations in and around modern-day israel suddenly broke down more than 3,000 years ago has remained a mystery up until now. a new pollen study by tel aviv university researchers finally solved this bronze age mystery.prof. israel finkelstein showed that owing to serious climate changes, the entire world of the bronze age crumbled in a short period of time. the discovery was made on the basis of a high-resolution analysis of pollen grains taken from sediments (沉淀物) beneath the sea of galilee and the western shore of the dead sea. prof. finkelstein received support from the european research council to conduct research aimed at reconstructing ancient israel. researchers of the part of the project that dealt with climate change extracted (提取) about 60 feet of samples of gray muddy sediment from the center of the sea of galilee in northern israel. they had to drill through 1,000 feet of water and into 65 feet of the lake bed and were able to recover evidence dating over the past 9,000 years.“pollen is the most enduring organic material in nature,” explained dr. dafna langgut, a pollen researcher who carried out the actual work of sampling. “these grains tell us about the plants that grew near the lake in the past and therefore prove the climatic conditions in the region.”researchers noted a sharp decrease in mediterranean trees like oaks and pines in the late bronze age. according to study experts, this could be because of repeated periods of drought. the droughts may have resulted in long famines, forcing people to migrate from north to south.12. the underlined word “crumbled” in paragraph 3 means _.a. settled b. changed c. established d. disappeared13. prof. finkelstein conducted the new pollen study to _.a. earn some money b. recreate ancient israelc. learn more about local plants d. discover the ancient civilizations14. by conducting the study, scientists found _.a. mediterranean trees were rare in the early bronze ageb. climate change was to blame for the lost civilizationc. people in the late bronze age starved to deathd. droughts were rare during the bronze age15. the text is most probably taken from _.a. a travel magazine b. a history textbookc. a newspaper report d. an agricultural book第二节（共5小题；每小题3分，满分15分）根据短文内容，从短文后的五个选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有一项为多余选项。it is natural that young people are often uncomfortable when they are with their parents. 16 they often think that their parents are out of touch with modern ways；that they are too serious and too strict with their children；and that they seldom give their children a free hand. 17 parents tend to forget how they themselves felt when young. for example，young people like to act on the spot without much thinking. it is one of their ways to show that they have grown up and they can face any difficult situation. 18 most of them plan things ahead，at least in the back of their minds，and do not like their plans to be upset by something unexpected. when you want your parents to let you do something, you will have better success if you ask before you really start doing it. young people often make their parents angry with their choices in clothes，in entertainment and in music. but they do not mean to cause any trouble；it is just that
