It was a scene that had been repeated many times in the theaters 75-year history. This time, however, the cleanup was a little different. As one group of workers carried out the rubbish, another group began removing seats and other theater equipment in preparation for the buildings end.The film classic The Last Picture Show was the last movie shown in the old theater. Though the movie is 30 years old, most of the 250 seats were filled with teary-eyed audience wanting to say good-bye to the old building. Theater owner Ed Bradford said he chose the movie because it seemed appropriate. The movie is set in a small town where the only movie theater is preparing to close down.Bradford said that large modern theaters in the city made it impossible for the Plaza to compete. He added that the theaters location(位置) was also a reason. “This used to be the center of town,” he said. “Now the area is mostly office buildings and warehouses.”Last week some city officials suggested the city might be interested in turning the old theater into a museum and public meeting place. However, these plans were abandoned because of financial problems. Bradford sold the building and land to a local development firm, which plans to build a shopping complex on the land where the theater is located.The theater audience said good-bye as Bradford locked the doors for the last time. After 75 years the Plaza Theater has shown its last movie. The theater will be missed.24. In what way was yesterdays cleanup at the Plaza special?A. It made room for new equipment. B. It signaled the closedown of the theater.C. It was done with the help of the audience. D. It marked the 75th anniversary of the theater.25. Why was The Last Picture Show put on?A. It was an all-time classic. B. It was about the history of the town.C. The audience requested it. D. The theater owner found it suitable.26. What will probably happen to the building?A. It will be repaired. B. It will be turned into a museum.C. It will be knocked down. D. It will be sold to the city government.27. What can we infer about the audience?A. They are disappointed with Bradford. B. They are sad to part with the old theater.C. They are supportive of the city officials. D. They are eager to have a shopping center.CThe fact that blind people can see things using other parts of their bodies apart from their eyes may help us to understand our feelings about color. If they can sense color differences, then perhaps we, too, are affected (影响) by color without knowing it. Salesmen have discovered by experience over a long period of time that sugar sells badly in green wrappings (包装), that blue foods are considered not agreeable to the taste ,and that cosmetics (化妆品) should never be packed in brown. These discoveries have grown into a whole subject of color psychology (心理学). Some of our preferences (偏爱) are clearly psychological. Dark blue is the color of the night sky and therefore connected with calm, while yellow is a day color connected with energy and encouragement. Experiments have shown that colors, partly because they are connected with psychology, also have a direct effect on peoples mind. People in bright red surroundings (环境) show an increase in breathing speed, heartbeat and blood pressure. Red is exciting. Pure blue has exactly the opposite effect; it is a calming color. Being exciting, red was chosen as the signal for danger, but a closer study shows that a bright yellow can produce a more basic state of alarm, so fire engines in some advanced areas are now rushing around in bright yellow colors that stop buses, trucks and cars.28. The passage tells us that salesmen have _.A. found out that colors affect salesB. discovered the relationship between color and psychologyC. tried colors on blind peopleD. developed a special subject of color psychology29. If people are exposed to (置身于) pure blue, _. A. their body pressure rises B. they wont easily feel nervous C. they want to taste blue foods D. they will feel like buying things30. The most effective color in the passage for warning people is _. A . red B. bright yellow C. dark blue D. green31. Which of the following do you think is the best title of the passage A. Color and Feelings B. Colors and SalesC. The Blind and Colors D. Preferences for ColorsDA study showed that the experiences children have in their first few years are important. These experiences affect the development of the brain. When children receive more attention, they often have higher IQs. Babies receive information when they see, hear and feel things, which makes connections between different parts of the brain. There are a hundred trillion (万亿) connections in the brain of a three-year-old child.Researcher Judit Gervain tested how good newborns are at distinguishing different sound patterns. Her researchers produced images of the brains of babies as they heard different sound patterns. For example, one order was mu-ba-ba. This is the pattern “A-B-B. Another order was mu-ba-ge. This is the pattern “A-B-C”. The images showed that the part of the brain responsible for speech was more active during the “A-B-B” pattern. This shows that babies can tell the difference between different patterns. They also were sensitive to where it occurred in the order.Gervain is excited by these findings because the order of sounds is the building block of words and grammar. “Position is key to language, she says. “If something is at the beginning or at the end, it makes a big difference: John caught the bear. is very different from The bear caught John. ”Researchers led by scientist Patricia Kuhl have found that language delivered by televisions, audio books, the Internet, or smartphonesno matter how educationaldoesnt appear to be enough for childrens brain development. They carried out a study of nine-month-old American babies. They expected the first group whod watched videos in Chinese to show the same kind of learning as the second group who were brought face-to-face with the same sounds. Instead they found a huge difference. The babies in the second group were able to distinguish between similar Chinese sounds as well as native listeners. But the other babies regardless of whether they had watched the video or listened to the audiolearned nothing.32. What makes connections in a babys brain?A. Having a higher IQ. B. Experiencing new information.C. The babys early age.D. The connection with other babies.33. What did Judit Gervain and her team find in the experiment?A. Word order is relevant to meaning. B. A certain brain region processes language.C. Babies identify different sound patterns.D. Babies can well understand different words.34. What does the underlined sentence mean in Paragraph 3?A. Words have different sounds. B. Different orders have different meanings.C. Grammar is important in learning languages. D. Different languages have different grammar.35. What is the main conclusion from the study led by Patricia Kuhl?A. Babies shouldnt watch a lot of television.B. Foreign languages are beneficial to babies brain development.C. Listening to different languages helps to develop babies brainD. Social communication improves babies brain development.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。请将答案填涂在答题卡上36-40的方框中。Eyesight plays a very important role in our daily life.
