Violence and traffic accidents can leave people with terrible physical and emotional scars. Often they relive these experiences in nightmares.Now American researchers think they are close to developing a pill, which will help people forget bad memories. The pill is designed to be taken immediately after a frightening experience. They hope it might reduce ,or possibly erase(抹去),the effect of painful memories.In November, experts tested a drug on people in the US and France. The drug stops the body releasing chemicals that fix memories in the brain. So far the research has suggested that only the emotional effects of memories may be reduced, not that the memories are erased.The research has caused a great deal of argument. Some think it is a bad idea, while others support it.Supporters say it could lead to pills that prevent or treat soldiers troubling memories after war. They say that there are many people who suffer from terrible memories.Some memories can ruin peoples lives . They come back to you when you dont want to have them in a daydream or nightmare. They usually come with very painful emotions, said Roger Pitman, a professor of psychiatry at Harvard Medical School. This could relieve a lot of that suffering.But those who are against the research say that changing memories is very dangerous because memories give us our identity (特质). They also help us all avoid the mistakes of the past.All of us can think of bad events in our lives that were horrible at the time but make us who we are. Im not sure we want to wipe those memories out, said Rebecca Dresser, a medical ethicist.56. The passage is mainly about .A. a new medical invention B. a new research on the pillC. a way of erasing painful memories D. an argument about the research on the pill57. The drug tested on people can .A. cause the brain to fix memories B. stop people remembering bad experiencesC. prevent body producing certain chemicals D. Wipe out the emotional effects of memories58. We can infer from the passage that .A. people doubt the effects of the pillsB. the pill will stop peoples bad experiencesC. taking the pill will do harm to peoples healthD. the pill has probably been produced in America59. Which of the following does Rebecca Dresser agree with?A. Some memories can ruin peoples lives.B. People want to get rid of bad memories.C. Experiencing bad events makes us different from othersD. The pill will reduce peoples sufferings from bad memories.BWhen you are curious about something, and want to know more about it, you can use the way of asking questions. Asking questions is the first step to make discoveries and find interesting answers. The steps below can guide you during the research.Step 1On a note card or piece of paper, write down the subject that you are interested in. Just get the main idea down. For example, you might write: Discover more about dinosaurs.Step 2Next, stop and think for a moment about what you already know about your subject. List what you already know like the sentences below：（1）Dinosaurs lived long before human beings appeared.（2）Dinosaurs lived on the earth for more than 150 million years.（3）Some dinosaurs fed on plants, some on meat.Step 3What can you do with what you want to learn？By asking questions. On your paper，start writing down questions about the dinosaurs as you think of them：（1）Whats the best weather for dinosaurs to live in？（2）How many kinds of dinosaurs are there？（3）Have dinosaurs really disappeared？Step 4Armed with your list of questions, you can now go to the nearest library or computer to begin 62. According to the passage, which of the following is TRUE？A.You can find all the answers online.B.Learn more, and youll have no questions.C.During the research，you may keep finding new questions.D.Asking questions is the only way for research.63. The best title for this passage is _.A. Discovering Dinosaurs B. Asking Good QuestionsC. Finding Subjects D. Having Interesting AnswersCSeveral years ago, while attending a communication course, I experienced a most unusual thing. The instructor asked us to list anything in our past that we felt ashamed of, guilty about or regretted. The next week he invited participants to read their lists aloud. This seemed like a very private matter, but theres always some brave soul in the crowd who would volunteer. The man next to me raised his hand and volunteered this story:“While making my list, I remembered an incident from high school. I grew up in a small town in Iowa. There was a Sheriff in town that none of us kids liked. One night, my two friends and I climbed the tall water tank in the middle of town, and wrote on the tank in bright red letters: Sheriff Brown is a fool. The next day, the town arose to see our glorious sign. Within two hours. Sheriff Brown had my two friends and me in his office. My friends admitted what they did and I lied, denying the truth. No one ever found out.”Nearly 20 years later, Sheriff Browns name appears on my list. I didnt even know if he was still alive. Last weekend, I dialed information in my hometown back in Iowa. Sure enough, there was a Roger Brown still listed. I dialed his number. After a few rings, I heard: “Hello? I said, Sherriff Brown? Pause. Yup. Well, this is Jimmy Calkins. I want you to know that I did it. Pause. I knew it! he yelled back. We had a good laugh and a lively discussion. His closing words were: Jimmy, I always felt bad for you because your friends got it off their chest, and I knew you were carrying it around all these years. I want to thank you for calling me for your sake. ”Jimmy gave me much inspiration and I know that no matter how difficult the situation is, it is never too late to clear up the past and begin anew.64What does the underlined word “denying” in the second paragraph mean?A. accepting B. recognizing C. refusing to accept D. hiding65Which can be inferred form Roger Browns closing words?A. He was always feeling sorry because Jimmy didnt admit it.B. He felt sorry because Jimmys friends got it off their chest.C. He was glad that Jimmy didnt forget that matter all these years.D. He was glad that now Jimmy got that matter off his mind.66. Which of the following statements is TRUE?A. Sherriff Brown is a man that is not welcome.B. The writer learns a lot from Jimmys story.C. We should forget the past as quickly as possible.D. Jimmy Calkins is very brave because when he was a kid he dared to climb to the tall water tank.67. What can be the best title of this passage?A. An Interesting StoryB. Be Brave to Tell Your StoryC. It Is Never too Late to clear up the Past and Begin AnewD. Jimmy Is A Brave ManDBeware of those who use the truth to cheat. When someone tells you something that is true, but leaves out important information that should be included, he can create a false impression.For example, someone might say,“I just won a hundred dollars on the lottery（抽奖）. It was great. I took that dollar ticket back to the store and turned it in for one hundred dollars!”This guys a winner, right? Maybe, maybe not. We then discover that he bought two hundred tickets, and only one was a winner. Hes really a big loser!He didnt say anything that was false, but he deliberately omitted important information. Thats called a half-truth. Half-truths are not technically lies, but they are just as dishonest.Untrustworthy candidates in political campaigns often use this tactic(策略). Lets say that during Governor Smiths last term, her state lost one million jobs and gained three million jobs. Then she seeks another term. One of her opponents runs an as saying, “During Government Smiths term, the state lost one million jobs!”Thats true. However an honest statement would have been, “During Governor Smiths term, the state had a net(净余的)gain of two million jobs.”Advertisers will sometimes use half-truths. Its against the law to make false claims so they try to mislead you with the truth. An ad might say, “Nine out of ten doctors recommend Yucky Pills to cure nose pimples(丘疹).”It fails to mention that they only asked ten doctors and nine of them work for the Yucky Corporation.This kind of deception happens too often. Its a sad fact of life: Lies are lies, and sometimes the truth can lie as well.68. Which statement is TRUE according to the article?AWhenever people tell the truth, they are really lying.BYou cant trust gamblers(赌博的人)CAll governors help their states.DThe truth can be used in dishonest ways69. The author clearly wants people to .Athink carefully about what they read and hearBknow that lies are liesCnever trust anyoneDvote for females candidates70. Which of the following would be the best title?AYucky Corporation BEveryone LiesCLying With the Truth DNose Pimples第卷 （非选择题 两部分 共25分）第四部分 任务型阅读（共10小题；每小题1分，满分10分）注意：每个空格填写一个单词。请将答案写在答题纸上相应的题号的横线上。Robot revolutionThe day that a robot wakes you up, cleans your room and walks your dog might still be a few decades off. But increasingly, engineers are saying that robots are going to make the leap from the factory floor to your family room.Companies like Sony and General Electric are working on designs for small robots. Products like the Roomba, a robot that can clean floors, are flying off the shelves. On the cover of a recent issue of Scientific American magazine, Bill Gates predicted the “Dawn of the Age of Robots”.Whats behind this new era (时代)? Its partly a matter of technology. Devices that can recognize and respond to a human voice have been developed. There are now a few different ways for robots to move around. They can walk, crawl or ride on wheels. They are being made smaller and smaller. They are also becoming more and more energy efficient.A bigger part of the story is on the demand side. From the day Robert Adler invented the television remote control in the 1950s, people around the world have tirelessly searched for ways to get lazier.Also take into consideration the increasing wealth of rich people, the time appears ripe to introduce robots to ease our daily lives.To be sure, robots that
