A recent study has found that fish have much better memories than we used to think. In fact, certain species of fish can even remember events from as long as 12 days ago, BBC reported.In the study, researchers from MacEwan University in Canada trained a kind of fish called African cichlids (非洲丽鱼科鱼) to go to a certain area of their tank to get food. They then waited for 12 days before putting them back in the tank again.This suggested that they could remember their past experiences. Researchers used computer software to monitor the fishs movements. They found that after such a long break the fish still went to the same place where they first got food.In fact, scientists had been thinking for a long time that African cichlids might have a good memory.An earlier study showed that they behaved aggressively in front of certain fish, perhaps because they remembered their past fights. But until the latest findings, there was no clear evidence.Just as a good memory can make our lives easier, it also plays an important part when a fish is trying to survive in the wild.“If fish are able to remember that a certain area contains safe food, they will be able to go back to that area without putting their lives in danger,” lead researcher Trevor Hamilton told Live Science.For a long time, fish were placed far below chimpanzees, dolphins and mice on the list of smart animals. But this study has given scientists a new understanding of their intelligence.So next time you are watching your pet fish from outside the tank, perhaps you should feel closer to them they may remember who you are.25. What is the article mainly about?A. Fish having very bad memories. B. Fish being smarter than we thought.C. How fish improve their memories. D. What we humans can learn from fish.26. What belief did people have in the past?A. Fish cant recognize any of their friends.B. Fish cant remember for longer than three minutes.C. Fish can only remember part of their experiences.D. Fish can remember things that happened 12 days ago.27. How do fish benefit most from a good memory?A. They can remember their enemies and fight.B. They can remember where to get food and survive.C. They can remember their friends and help each other.D. They can remember where to escape to when in danger.CI was at the market at 5 pm, the worst time of day to shop, to pick up a few essentials: cream for coffee, eggs for breakfast and Advil for my headache.Id been rushing all day doing jobs for people. I did not want to be shopping, to say the least. But I told myself it was my last stop before going home to put my feet up.So I scored a parking place, grabbed a bag from the trunk (后备箱) and found a shopping cart.The market wasnt as crowded as I had expected. I grabbed a package of linguini (意粉) and some pesto (松子青酱).Thats when I saw her. She was sitting in a shopping cart. She looked to be maybe 9 months old. Short blond curls, blue eyes. A white lace dress and shiny black shoes.I couldnt take my eyes off her. Then I did what I always do with children: I gave her my best smile. I may have looked a bit mad, but it came from my heart.That is a habit I formed long ago when I became a mother. It started with my first child, in that unforgettable, life-changing moment of her birth.At times my smile would fade to a look of fear or worry, but it never left my face for long. It always came back, even through tears.Ive learned that everyone needs a smile sometimes, young and old, friends and strangers, even strangers at the market in a rush to get home.She took her time deciding just what to make of my smile. But finally, she lit up.I laughed and waved goodbye. And she blew me a kiss.That put a smile on my face that got a smile in return from every shopper I passed.I was still smiling when I got home and realized Id forgotten to get Advil. Luckily, I didnt need it. My headache was gone.Somehow, in that simple exchange of smiles, this weary (使人厌烦的) old world became a better place.Want to change the world? Try smiling. Someone will smile back at you. I guarantee it.If youre lucky, maybe theyll even blow you a kiss and make your headache go away.28. What can we know about the author from the first four paragraphs?A. She couldnt wait to go shopping.B. She didnt know what to shop at the market.C. She was disappointed at the goods in the market.D. She didnt want to go to the market at that time.29. What does the underlined word “that” in Paragraph 7 refer to?A. Shopping in the afternoon. B. Suffering from a headache.C. Smiling at kids she meets. D. Observing different people.30. What happened to the author after seeing the girl?A. She thought about her childhood. B. She got blank looks from others.C. She no longer felt low. D. She wanted to kiss the girl.31. What is the main purpose of this article?A. To show how to find joy in daily shopping.B. To share her thoughts on smiling in a story.C. To recall happy times with her children. D. To show how to communicate with children.DIt happens from time to time that after a whole morning of studying, you are tired in the afternoon. Its then that you might want to eat something sweet, perhaps a Coke or a chocolate bar to lift your mood. After all, its popularly believed that a “sugar rush” gives us energy.But a study published in Neuroscience and Biobehavioral Reviews in April suggests that sugar can make us feel worse rather than boost our moods.The German and UK researchers collected data from 31 studies involving nearly 1,300 adults. They studied the effect of sugar on various aspects of mood, including anger, alertness (警惕性), depression and tiredness.They found that people who have too much sugar become more tired and less alert within an hour, and that these feelings become more intense (强烈的) over time.According to the researchers, when people take in sugar, their blood sugar levels rise rapidly, leading to a burst of energy and a short “feel good” period. However, as they begin to digest (消耗) the sugar, their blood sugar levels decrease quickly, leading to a bad feeling.To remain on a “high”, people are likely to eat more and more sugar until they become addicted to it. As with caffeine, this prevents the body from relaxing, leaving people feeling tired and less alert.But the study findings neednt make us think we must give up sweet food altogether. According to the World Health Organization, it is healthy to have the sugars found naturally in fruit, vegetables and milk, so long as these make up less than 5 percent of daily total energy intake.So the next time you feel tired and cant concentrate, perhaps you should think twice before you bite into a chocolate bar. Maybe a spot of exercise at midday would be a better idea!Tips for beating afternoon fatigue* Head outside and sit in the daylight for 10 minutes.* Get into the routine of a mid-afternoon cup of tea.* Plan group activities for midday.* Add variety to your routine.32. What does the underlined word “boost” in Paragraph 2 probably mean?A. improve B. harm C. control D. change33. How did the people feel after they had sugar in the study?A. They felt relaxed. B. They felt more tired.C. They were more alert. D. They felt energetic.34. What do we learn from Paragraphs 5-6?A. Our mood is connected to our blood sugar levels.B. Taking in more sugar benefits mental health.C. Getting caffeine is another way to relax.D. Sugar and caffeine have the same effects.35. What would the author suggest people do when they are tired?A. Give up sweet food. B. Have a bar of chocolate.C. Do an hour of exercise. D. Eat foods with natural sugars.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。选项中两项为多余选项。Follow a regular sleep schedule to live a happier, healthier lifeIrregular sleep patterns can leave you feeling very tired even after a nights sleep. Just a few adjustments to your daily routine can help you go to bed and wake up at the same time every day. 36Pick a bedtime and a wake-up time and stick to them as much as possible. Life will unavoidably interfere (干扰), but try not to sleep in for more than an hour on Saturdays and Sundays so that you can stay on track.Make gradual adjustments.37 The most effective way is to make small changes slowly. If youre trying to go to sleep at 10:00 pm, rather than midnight, for example, try this: For the first three or four nights, go to bed at 11:45 pm, and then go to bed at 11:30 pm for the next few days. Keep adjusting your sleep schedule like this.Be light-conscious.Your body clock is sensitive to light and darkness. 38 Opening the curtains to let natural light into your bedroom will tell your brain to start the day. Likewise (同样地), too much light in the evenings can tell your body clock that you should stay awake. Before bedtime, dim (调暗) as many lights as possible and turn off bright overhead lights. 39 Your eyes are especially sensitive to the blue light from electronic screens.Eat your food at the right time.Its not just what you eat its when you eat. Having dinner around the same time every night will help keep your whole body on track. 40 You dont want several trips to the bathroom in the middle of the night.A. Be consistent.B. Choose your bedtime carefully.C. Also, limit how much you drink before bedtime.D. Avoid computers, cellphones, and TV an hour before bed.E. You wont be able to change your sleep schedule overnight.F. Its not a good idea to go to bed on an empty or full stomach.G. Thus, getting some sunlight first thing in the morning will help you wake up.第三部分 英语知识运用(共两节, 满分45分)第一节 完形填空(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四个选项(A、B、C和D)中, 选出可以填人空白处的最佳选项。It started on a Friday 41 when the 5-year-old and his older brother were playing 42 their home near the resort town of Aspen, Colorado.
