There are a lot of myths about the human brain.One of the biggest myths is that we only use 10 percent of our brains. The next part of the myth is that if we can learn to use the rest of our brains, then well be much smarter. People say this all the time, but its absolutely not true! The truth is that although we dont know everything about the human brain, we know that each part of it has an important function (功能). Modern scientists think the 10 percent myth ridiculous(荒谬的).The other most popular myth is about being right brained or left brained. According to this myth, people who use the right side of their brains are more artistic and creative. People who use the left side of their brains are better at math and science. This is as popular as the 10 percent myth, and its also wrong. In 2013, a study at an American university examined the right brain and left brain myth. According to the study, we use both sides of our brains equally (相等地).Its true that we use different parts of our brains for different things. We use our left side for language more, and our right side when we need to pay attention. But there is no evidence (证据) that creative people use the right side more, or that scientific people use the left side more.Weve talked about myths, so lets look at a few interesting facts about the brain. First of all, the brain feels no pain. Second, about 75 percent of the brain is made of water. Its also the fattest organ in your body. Heres another interesting fact about the brain. Around the time you turn 18 years old, it stops growing.（1）The underlined word This in Paragraph 3 refers to . A . the left brain mythB . the right brain and left brain mythC . the use of human brainsD . the study of an American university（2）According to the facts mentioned in the passage, _ may use the left brain more. A . Robert, who is learning EnglishB . Kate, who is drawing picturesC . Jenny, who is designing clothesD . Jacob, who is doing research（3）Which of the following is TRUE about the human brain? A . It is growing all life long.B . The right side is used more by artists.C . Some parts of it are not used at all.D . Three quarters of it is made of water.（4）The passage mainly tells about _. A . the growing of the brainB . different functions of the brainC . right brain and left brainD . myths and facts about the brain14. （10分）阅读理解Have you ever wondered why birds sing? Maybe you thought that they were just happy. After all, you probably sing or whistle when you are happy.Some scientists believe that birds do sing some of the time just because they are happy. However, they sing most of the time for a very different reason. Their singing is actually a warning to other birds to stay out of their territory.Do you know what a territory is? A territory is an area that an animal, usually the male, claims as its own. Only he and his family are welcome there. No other families of the same species are welcome. Your yard and house are your territory where only your family and friends are welcome. If a stranger should enter your territory and threaten you, you might shout. Probably this would be enough to frighten him away.If so, you have actually scared the stranger away without having to fight him. A bird does the same thing. But he expects an outsider almost any time, especially at nesting（筑巢）season. So he is screaming all the time, whether he can see an outsider or not. This screaming is what we call a birds song, and it is usually enough to keep an outsider away.Birds sing loudest in the spring when they are trying to attract a mate and warn others not to enter the territory of theirs.You can see that birds have a language of their own. Most of it has to do with attracting mates and setting up territories.（1）Some scientists believe that most of the time birds singing is actually_. A . an expression of happinessB . a way of warningC . an expression of angerD . a way of greeting（2）What does the underlined word “territory mean? A . A place where families of other species are not acceptedB . A place where a bird may shout at the top of its voiceC . An area for which birds fight against each otherD . An area which a bird considers to be its own（3）Why do birds keep on singing at nesting season? A . Because they want to invite more friendsB . Because their singing helps frighten outsiders awayC . Because they want to find outsiders aroundD . Because their singing helps get rid of their fears（4）How does the writer explain birds singing? A . By comparing birds with human beingsB . By reporting experiment resultsC . By describing birds daily lifeD . By telling a birds story四、 根据首字母及汉语提示完成单词。(5分) (共5题；共5分)15. （1分）Tuesday comes after M_. 16. （1分）In the police station, Davids_(汇报，报告) to the policeman. 17. （1分）An elephant_（重量是）many times more than a dog. 18. （1分）The watch isnt Helens.
