coffee to help us get through the day. however, a new study published in the journal current directions in psychological science warns that there are limits to how smart humans can get, and trying to increase your thinking ability could be urisky.each of our body parts evolved in a certain way for a reason. for example, we are not 3 meters tall because most peoples hearts are not strong enough to send blood up that high. scientists are now saying that our thinking ability works in the same way. a babys brain size is limited by a series of factors, such as the size of the mothers pelvis (骨盆). if our brains evolved to vbe bigger, there could be more deaths during childbirth.the study of ashkenazi jews (德裔犹太人), who have an average iq much higher than other europeans, showed that they were more likely to develop diseases of the nervous system. this might be because of their increased brainpower.if intelligence cannot be improved, can we at least get better at concentrating? not really, say scientists. they studied drugs like caffeine that improve attention span. they found that the drugs only helped people with serious attention problems. for those who did not have trouble paying attention, the drugs could have the opposite effect. scientists say that this suggests there is an upper limit to how much people can or should concentrate.our memory is also a “double-edged sword (双刃剑)”. people with extremely vivid (生动的) memories could end up having a difficult life because they cannot forget bad things that happen to them.thomas hills of the university of warwick in the uk, one of the authors of the paper, said that considering all the problems in trying to get smarter, its unlikely there will ever be a “supermind”.56. which of the following aspects do the scientists refer to in order to explain that there will never be a “supermind”? a. intelligence b. nervous system c. concentration ability d. memory e. heart disease a. abc b. acd c. bcd d. cde57. our heights and babies brain size are mentioned to prove that _. a. there are limits to peoples intelligence b. a babys iq is determined by the mothers pelvis c. most peoples hearts are not that strong to make them smarter d. its likely that peoples body parts will continue to evolve58. which of the following is true on concentration in the fifth paragraph?a. there is no case where concentration is improved.b. coffee does help a little in some peoples concentration.c. the drugs work for those who do not have attention trouble.d. with the help of the drugs, we can gain better concentration.59. what does the author mean by saying “our memory is also a double-edged sword ”?a. good memory can lead to bad results, too.b. good memory will lead to diseases in peoples body.c. without memory, people will lead a better life.d. poor memory makes people more generous.b it is hardly surprising that clothing manufacturers(生产商) follow certain uniform standards for various features(特征) of clothes. what seems strange, however, is that the standard adopted for women is the opposite of the one for men. take a look at the way your clothes button. mens clothes tend to button from the right, and womens form the left. considering most of the words population-men and women-are right-handed, the mens standard would appear to make more sense for women. so why do womens clothes button from the left?history really seems to matter here. buttons first appeared only on the clothes of the rich in the 17th century, when rich women were dressed by servants. for the mostly right-handed servants, having womens shirts button from the left would be easier. on the other hand, having mens shirts button form the right made sense, too. most men dressed themselves, and a sword drawn from the left with the right hand would be less likely to get caught in the shirt.today women are seldom dressed by servants, but buttoning form the left is still the standard for them. is it interesting? actually, a standard, once set, resists change. at a time when all womens shirts buttoned form the left, it would have been risky for any single manufacturer to offer womens shirts that buttoned from the right. after all, women had grown so used to shirts which buttoned from the left and would have to develop new habits and skills to switch. besides, some women might have found it socially awkward to appear in public wearing shirts that buttoned from the right, since anyone who noticed that would believe they were wearing mens shirts.60. what is surprising about the standard of the clothing industry?a. it has been followed by the industry for over 400 years.b. it is different for mens clothing and womens.c. it woks better with men than with women.d. it fails to consider right-handed people.61. what do we know about the rich men in the 17th century?a. they tended to wear clothes without buttons.b. they were interested in the historical matters.c. they were mostly dressed by servants.d. they drew their swords from the left.62. womens clothes still button from the left today because .a. adopting mens style is improper for womenb. manufacturers should follow standardsc. modern women dress themselvesd. customs are hard to change63. the passage is mainly developed by .a. analyzing causes b. making comparisonsc. examining differences d. following the time orderccompassion is a desire within us to help others. with effort, we can translate compassion into actions. an experience last weekend showed me this is true. i work part-time in a supermarket across form a building for the elderly. these old people are our main customers, and its not hard to lose patience over their slowness. but last sunday , one aged gentleman appeared to teach me a valuable lesson. this untidy man walked up to my register(收款机)with a box of biscuits. he said he was out of cash, had just moved into his room, and had nothing in his cupboards. he asked if we could let him have the food on trust. he promised to repay me the next day.i couldnt help staring at him. i wondered what kind of person he had been ten or twenty years before, and what he would be like if luck had gone his way. i had a hurt in my heart for this kind of human soul, all alone in the world. i told him that i was sorry, but store rules didnt allow me to do so. i felt stupid and unkind saying this, but i valued my job.just then, another man, standing behind the first, spoke up. if anything, he looked more pitiable. “charge it to me,” was all he said.what i had been feeling was pity. pity is soft and safe and easy. compassion, on the other hand, is caring in action. i thanked the second man but told him that was not allowed either. then i reached into my pocket and paid for the biscuits myself. i reached into my pocket because these two men had reached into my heart and taught me compassion.64. according the author, its _ for us to translate compassion into actions. a. easyb. not easyc. possibled. rare65. the aged gentleman who wanted to buy the biscuits _. a. promised to obey the store rulesb. forgot to take any money with him c. could not afford anything more expensived. hoped to have the food first and pay later66. the writer acted upon the store rules because_. a. he wanted to keep his present jobb. he felt no pity for the old gentleman c. he considered the old man dishonestd. he expected someone else to pay for the old man67. what does the writer learn from his experience? a. wealth is more important than anything elseb. experience is better gained through practice c. helping others is easier said than done d. obeying the rules means more than compassiond think about the different ways that people use the wind. you can use it to fly a kite or to sail a boat. wind is one of our cleanest and richest power sources(来源) as well as one of the oldest. evidence shows that windmills(风车)began to be used in ancient iran back in the seventh century bc. they were first introduced to europe during the 1100s, when armies returned from the middle east with knowledge of using wind power. for many centuries, people used windmills to grind(磨碎)wheat into flour or pump water from deep underground. when electricity was discovered in the late 1800s. people living in remote areas began to use them to produce electricity. this allowed them to have electric lights and radio. however, by the1940s when electricity was available to people in almost all areas of the united states, windmills were rarely used. during the 1970s,people started becoming concerned about the pollution that is created when coal and gas are burned to produce electricity .people also realized that the supply of coal and gas would not last forever .then, wind was rediscovered ,though it means higher costs. today ,there is a global movement to supply more and more of our electricity through the use of wind.68. from the text we know that windmillsa. were invented by european armies b. have a history of more than 2,800 yearsc. used to supply power to radio in remote areas d. have rarely been used
