He never studied the piano. However, he can play very difficult musical pieces by musicians such as Chopin and Beethoven just a few minutes after he hears them. He learns a piece of music by listening to it in parts. Then he thinks about the notes(音符) in his head. Two years ago, he played his first piece Moonlight Sonata（奏鸣曲）by Beethoven. He surprised everyone around him.Amazed that he remembered this long and difficult piece of music and played it perfectly, his teachers say Samuel is unbelievable. They say his ability is very rare, but Samuel doesnt even realize that what he can do is special. Samuel wanted to become a lawyer as it was the wish of his parents, but music teachers told him he should study music instead. Now, he studies law and music.Samuel cant understand why everyone is so surprised. “I grew up with music. My mother played the piano and my father played the guitar. About two years ago, I suddenly decided to start playing the piano, without being able to read music and without having any lessons. It comes easily to me -I hear the notes and can bear them in mind-each and every note,” says Samuel. Recently, Samuel performed a piece during a special event at his college. The piece had more than a thousand notes. The audience was impressed by his amazing performance. He is now learning a piece that is so difficult that many professional pianists cant play it. Samuel says confidently, “Its all about super memory-I guess I have that gift.”However, Samuels ability to remember things doesnt stop with music. His family says that even when he was a young boy, Samuel heard someone read a story, and then he could retell the story word for word.Samuel is still only a teenager. He doesnt know what he wants to do in the future. For now, he is just happy to play beautiful music and continue his studies.21. What is special about Samuel Osmond?A. He can write down the note he hears. B. He is a top student at the law school.C. He has a gift for writing music. D. He can play the musical piece he hears.22.Everyone around Samuel was surprised because he _.A. received a good early education in musicB. could play the guitar better than his fatherC. played the guitar and the piano perfectlyD. could play the piano without reading music23.What can we infer about Samuel in Paragraph 4?A. He became famous during a special event at his college.B. He plays the piano better than all the professional pianists.C. He is proud of his ability to remember things accurately.D. Heimpressed the audience by playing all the musical pieces.BFish Ears Tell Fish Tales Fish have ears. Really. Theyre quite small and have no opening to the outside world, carrying sound through the body. For the past seven years, Simon Thorrold, a university professor, has been examining fish ears, small round ear bones called otoliths. As fish grow, so do their otoliths. Each day, their otoliths gain a ring of calcium carbonate(碳酸钙),By looking through a microscope(显微镜) and counting these rings, Thorrold can determine the exact age of a young fish. As a fish gets older, its otoliths no longer get daily rings. Instead, they get yearly rings, which can also be counted, giving information about the fishs age, just like the growth rings of a tree. Ring counting is nothing new to fish scientists. But Thorrold has turned to a new direction. Theyre examining the chemical elements(元素)of each otolith ring. The daily ring gives us the time, but chemistry tells us about the environment in which the fish swam on any given day. These elements tell us about the chemistry of the water that the fish was in. It also says something about water temperature, which determines how much of these elements will gather within each otolith ring. Thorrold can tell, for example, if a fish spent time in the open ocean before entering the less salty water of coastal areas. He can basically tell where fish are spending their time at any given stage of history. In the case of the Atlantic croaker, a popular saltwater food fish, Thorrold and his assistant have successfully followed the travelling of young fish from mid-ocean to the coast, a journey of many hundreds of miles. This is important to managers in the fish industry, who know nearly nothing about the whereabouts of the young fish for most food fish in the ocean. Eager to learn about his technology, fish scientists are now lending Thorrold their ears.24. What can we learn about fish ears from the text? A. They are small soft rings. B. They are not seen from the outside. C. They are openings only on food fish. D. They are not used to receive sound.25. Why does the writer compare the fish to trees? A. Trees gain a growth ring each day. B. Trees also have otoliths. C. Their growth rings are very small. D. They both have growth rings.26. Why is it important to study the chemistry of otolith rings? A. The elements of the otoliths can tell the history of the sea. B. Chemical contents of otoliths can tell how fast fish can swim. C. We can know more about fish and their living environment. D. Scientists can know exactly how old a fish is.27. How would you understand “fish scientists are now lending their ears”? A. They are very interested in Thorrolds research findings. B. They want to know where they can find fish. C. They lend their fish for chemical studies.D. They wonder if Thorrold can find growth rings from their earsCIt has long been believed that drinking green tea is good for the memory. Now researchers have discovered how the chemical properties(特性) of Chinas favorite drink affect the generation of brain cells, providing benefits for memory and spatial(空间的) learning. “There has been plenty of scientific attention on its use in helping prevent cardiovascular(心血管) diseases, but now there is evidence that its chemical properties may affect cellular mechanisms(细胞结构) in the brain,” said Professor Yun Bai. Professor Bais team focused on the organic chemical EGCG, a key property of green tea. The team believed it can also have a beneficial effect against age-related degenerative(退化的) diseases. “We proposed that EGCG can improve learning by affecting the generation of neuron cells, a process known as neurogenesis(神经形成),” said Bai. “We focused our research on the hippocampus (海马体), the part of the brain which processes information from short-term to long-term memory.” The team found that EGCG increases the production of neural progenitor cells (神经祖细胞), which can adapt, or differentiate, into various types of cells. The team then used laboratory mice to discover if this increased cell production gave an advantage to memory or spatial learning. “We ran tests on two groups of mice, one which had drunk EGCG and a control group,” said Bai. “First the mice were trained for three days to find a visible platform in their maze(迷宫). Then they were trained for seven days to find a hidden platform.” The team found that the EGCG treated mice required less time to find the hidden platform. Overall the results showed that EGCG promotes learning and memory by improving object recognition and spatial memory. “We have shown that the organic chemical EGCG acts directly to increase the production of neural progenitor cells, both in glass tests and in mice,” concluded Bai. “This helps us to understand the potential(潜能) for EGCG, and green tea which contains it, to help treat degenerative(退化的) diseases and memory loss.”28. The new evidence suggests chemical properties _. A. in black tea may impact cellular mechanisms in the brain B. in green tea may affect cellular mechanisms in the brain C. in black tea may damage cellular mechanisms in the brain D. in green tea may damage memory and spatial learning29. According to the passage, Professor Bais team paid attention to _. A. short-term and long-term memory B. the generation of neuron cells and hippocampus C. age-related degenerative diseases D. the organic chemical EGCG and hippocampus30. The team found that it took more time_. A. for the EGCG treated mice to find the hidden platform B. for the EGCG treated mice to find the visible platform C. for the control mice to find the hidden platform D. for the control mice to find the visible platform31. What might be the potential(潜力) for EGCG? A. To decrease the blood level. B. To improve the time memory. C. To help treat memory loss. D. To cure degenerative diseases.DFor many years theres been a debate about rewarding our children. Does it work? Is it effective?Some people think we should establish a standard with our kids and give them something for meeting this standard as a reward. Punishment is given out in much the same way, but its used when certain standards of performance, behavior, etc. have not been met. Kids will often become more dutiful when threatened with punishment, and work harder when promised a valuable reward. The problem is what happens when you arent around. To develop responsible, self-disciplined(自律) kids, parents need to promote certain ideas. One of these ideas is that everyone pitches in(参与) and helps in your family. Another idea is that there can be enjoyment in doing any task if we choose to make it so. When a task is for a worthy cause (our family can enjoy the house more because I helped clean it), this message can have a big impact（影响）. This is how we help our kids develop a sense of responsibility. When our children develop this responsibility, theyll be more disciplined, and theyll control their emotions better. When we give rewards to our kids, we reduce the sense of responsibility. We also create children who may temporarily perform to a certain standard, but who arent likely to continue the performance without the carrot hanging in front of them. “Rewards and punishment can change behavior for a while, but they cannot change the person who engages in(参与) the behavior,” said Alfie Kohn, author of Punished by Rewards. “Good values have to be grown from the inside out.” Parents can help give their children a sense of shared responsibility and discipline which can last a life time. The real rewards that your children receive will be their readiness for the complex and demanding world that waits for thema world that rewards those who have learned the secrets of discipline responsibility. So keep those shiny rewarding to yourself, and let your kids find their own rewards. 32. According to the passage, when children are threatened with punishment, _. A. they may lose interest in their work B. they may appear to be well-behaved C. they may change to another person D. the results will be worse than usual33. The underlined part “the carrot” in Paragraph 4 probably refers to _. A. rewards B. aims C. apologies D. doubts34. According to the passage, Alfie Kohn would agree that parents should _. A. never pay attention to the way their children do things B. show their children how to behave by example C. never punish their children D. help their children establish good values35. Whats the best title for the passage? A. Do you often reward your children? B. Should parents reward their children? C. When should parents reward their children? D. What can parents reward their children with?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，并在答题卡上将该项涂黑。选项中有两项为多余选项。Spreading smiles at BirchwoodWhen Ava McCarver was in kindergarten, her class visited a nursing home.
