However, many dog owners will likely disagree on that. They have noticed that their dogs at various times during the sleep may shake legs, snort (哼) and sometimes growl (低声吼叫) which gives the impression that they are dreaming. These things may wonder us about whether dogs dream.Scientists confirm that dogs probably do dream. It turns out that dog brains and human brains have many similarities during sleep cycles. Researchers used special machines to measure electrical activity in a dogs brain and humans brain. Scientists already knew that when humans dream, a certain part of the brain is active during sleep. Researchers discovered that the same part of the brain is active in sleeping dogs. Scientists have other data that back up these findings.Many people dream that they are trying to move but cannot. Interestingly, part of that experience is not a dream. When people sleep, the brain produces a chemical that causes the dreamer to become temporarily paralyzed (使麻痹). Researchers think this happens so that people cannot physically act out dreams while they are sleeping. Dog brains make the same chemical. In one study during which this chemical was blocked, sleeping test dogs performed physical activities, such as standing up, sniffing around the room for imaginary rabbits, or chasing imaginary balls.Because of these similarities, researchers believe that the content of a dogs dream might come from the same source as a humans dream. “Peoples dreams are usually based on things they did that day,” says Dr. Samantha Hudspith. “So there is reason to believe that dogs dream about the things theyve done that day. Of course, there will never be a way to prove this. Dogs cannot describe their dreams the way that humans can.”24What does the underlined phrase “back up” mean in the second paragraph?ADisagree. BSupport. CRecord. DShow.25What happened to a sleeping dog when this chemical mentioned in paragraph 3 was cut off?AIt woke up.BIt stopped dreaming.CIt acted out its dream.DIt couldnt move its body.26How is the text mainly developed?ABy telling storiesBBy giving examples.CBy comparing detailsDBy listing differences.27What is the best title for the text?ADo Dogs Dream?BWhy Do Dogs Dream?CSigns of Dog DreamsDSimilarities Between Humans and DogsC Some of my fondest memories with my family are from when I was in middle school， when the three of us enjoyed trips that I remember vividly to this day. But during my younger days， like 4 or 5 years old， we vacationed in places like Cancun， Jamaica and Hawaii and I cant tell whether I actually recall those memories or whether Im filling in the gaps through photo albums. A frequent discussion I have with my coworkers and friends， who are also in their 20s， is how we wish our parents had taken us on more vacations when we were much older. What I suggest is to hold off on those grand vacations until your kid is about 12， when they can begin to understand what a privilege is， and you can save the international travel until theyre in high school. Of course， I do understand that sometimes， its not the kids but the parents who just want to enjoy a vacation. But in other cases， when the main goal is to create family memories， you can still accomplish that in other ways. It wasnt until college that I realized how important travel is， and I cant tell you how many times Ive thought about wanting to redo those family trips now. Especially during a time in my life when an international trip is outside of my budget， I think about how much money my parents spent on our vacations that ended up being a complete blur. Im not telling you to deprive （剥夺） your children of fun family memories， either. Im simply arguing that you should travel locally or within your state. Although your little ones might not care about the destination， they will remember that you are all together and have a great time. Thats the most important thing， anyway.28When recalling the previous trip to Hawaii，the author may feel _ .Adisappointed BexcitedCtouchedDfrightened29What time does the author think is the right time for children to travel abroad?AWhen they start to go to school.BWhen they are4 or 5 years old.CWhen they study in high school.DWhen they are eager to have a trip.30What does the underlined word “blur” in Paragraph 3 refer to?AJokes that are made between families.BEfforts that are made to achieve a goal.CMemories that cant be remembered clearly.DExpectations that may be reached in future.31What may be the best title for the text?ACreate Chances of Vacations with ChildrenBMy Memories of Previous VacationsCOlder Children Hope to Travel with Their ParentsDTake Children on Vacation until They Are OldDWhen Joshua Coombes got off the bus in Washington, DC, on this past February, he didnt set off for the usual tourist attractions along the National Mall. Instead, the London-based hairdresser (理发师) headed for the marble fountain where homeless people gather outside. Most travellers walk by without a second glance. So what Coombes did next may well have surprised them: He chatted with them, pulled out his scissors and gave them haircuts, free of charge.Whether in London, New York or Washington, DC, homelessness can seem like a problem too huge and difficult to deal with. But Coombes realised that he didnt have to solve all of everyones problems to make an impact. Sometimes, a small luxury such as a haircut can go a long way in boosting someones dignity, he told The Washington Post.Two years ago, he founded the campaign Do Something For Nothing. His mission: to make a positive impact by giving haircuts to homeless people he meets on city streets, connecting with them on a human level and sharing their stories on social media. So far he has cut the hair of hundreds of homeless people, including a few women.For Coombes, the campaign is about the importance of human connections. He wants to bring people together, regardless of what their relations are, and he sees the simple act of conversation as a step toward strengthening ties between people. In an age when virtual interactions can replace a real sense of community, Coombes finds haircuts to be a simple but important way to connect with people physically and emotionally.Coombess world travels are partially funded through companies and NGOs that commission him to speak about his campaign. As he devotes more time to it, he has steadily decreased the hours he spends in the salon at home. His most recent trip to the US was sponsored by Leesa Sleeps, a Virginia-based mattress company. He will leave for Barcelona soon and plans to return to the US in the next few months.32What does the underlined word “them” in Paragraph 1 refer to?AThe homeless people. BThe tour guides.CThe travelers. DThe hairdressers.33What is the purpose of Coombess founding the campaign?ATo make the homeless people more beautiful.BTo increase the connections with homeless people.CTo bring the homeless people together to the shelters.DTo help the homeless people change the real sense of community.34What do we know about Coombes?AHe dislikes usual tourist attractions.BHe travels around the world with his own expenses.CHe thinks people can take action to positively affect others life.DHe goes away from home in order to travel around the country.35What is the main idea of the text?AA hairdresser travels with homeless people. BHomeless people are connecting together.CCompanies work together to help homeless people. DA hairdresser helps homeless people through haircuts. 第二节 （共5小题；每小题2分，满分10分）根据短文内容，从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。 As scientists probe(探究) the mysteries inside our heads, their discoveries are proving new insights into how we can all sharpen our mental machinery.Your brain is fatIn fact, you brain is the fattiest organ in your body, consisting of a minimum of 60 percent fat. Fat carries, absorbs and stores vitamins in your bloodstream.36.We can get smarter as we get olderRawan Tarawneh, an assistant professor, points out that although some mental processes decline as we age, not all does.37, On the other hand, language functions tend to remain well preserved as we get older, peaking even into our early 70s.38Comparing the brains of great thinkers, writers, and mathematicians hasnt yielded conclusive evidence that the size of the brain has a connection to intelligence.Intelligence might start with ignoring distractionsIntelligent people were better at detecting movements of small objects on a screen but worse at movements of large background objects. This may be because in nature, large movements such as the wind in the trees are irrelevant, but the harder-to-see animals is essential.3940For example, experiments have shown that people who were born blind use the visual parts of their brains for tasks other than seeing.AFat is essential for brain.BIn our information-laden world, focusing on only whats important may give some people an edge (优势).CThe close connection between brains size and intelligence.DIt also helps the immune system function properly.E. You brain can adapt itself.F. Some of our brain functions, such as short term memory show some decline with aging.G. Bigger isnt necessarily better.第三部分 语言知识运用（共两节，满分45分）第一节 （共20小题；每小题1.5分，满分30分）阅读下面短文，从短文后各题所给的A、B、C和D四个选项中，选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。Telling the truth is a very good habit.

However, there can be no disagreement on 62 need for each of us to think carefully about the kind of friendships we want.To most of us, friendships 63 (consider) important, but we need to have clear minds of the kinds of friendships we want. Are they to be close or kept at arms 64 (long)? Do we want to share something with our friends or do we want to walk on the surface?
