Blind people are better at locating (定位) sounds than people who can see, a new study says, without the benefits of vision (视力) the ears seem to work much better.Previous studies have shown that blind people are better than others at reaching out and touching the sources (来源) of sounds that are close by. Researchers from the University of Montreal wanted to see if blind people were also better at locating sounds that are far away.Twenty-three blind people participated (参加) in the study. All had been sightless (盲的) for at least 20 years. Fourteen of them lost their vision before age 11. The rest went blind after age 16. The experiment also included 10 people who could see but were wearing blindfolds (眼罩).In one task, volunteers had to pick the direction of a sound coming from about 3 metres away. When the sound was in front of them or slightly off center in front, both groups performed equally well.When sounds came from the side or the back, however, the blind group performed much better than the blindfolded group. The participants who had been blind since childhood did slightly better than those who lost their sight later.Recognizing (辨认) the locations of distant sounds can be a matter of life-or-death for blind people, say the researchers. Crossing the street, for instance, is much harder when you cant see the cars coming.Still, the researchers were surprised by how well the blind participants did, especially those who went blind after age 16. In another experiment, the scientists also found that parts of the brain that normally deal with visual (视觉的) information became active in locating sound in the people who were blind by age 11. These brain parts didnt show sound-location activity in the other group of blind people or in the sighted (有视力的) people. The scientists now want to learn more about the working of brains of “late-onset” (发生较晚的) blind people.30 .

Which of the following is TRUE according to the passage?AAll the volunteers in the experiment are sightless.BWhether to be able to locate the sounds can be of vital importance for the blind.CAll the participants did equally well when picking sounds from whatever direction.DThe later people become blind, the better they can perform in telling the direction of sounds.34 . What do we know about the finding that parts of the brain dealing with visual information are active in locating sounds?AIt remains a mystery why it is so.BThis happens in almost all the participants.CIt remains nothing new to the scientists any more.DThis only happens in the people who were blind after age 16.（题文）I arrived in the UK last weekend to learn EnglishSo far I have already made a few friends and had some traditional English food thereBut after having three days of hamburgers，sandwiches and potatoes，I thought none could be more delicious than Chinese food，especially my favoritehuo guoYou cant imagine how excited I was when I got to know that there was going to be a free meal of hotpot to welcome the new studentsOn the way to the canteen，I seemed to smell huo guo in the airTo my surprise，when I went into the room，I didnt see any sign of huo guoWhere was it？With many questions in my head，I sat down to have the free mealAfter talking with an English girl，I got to know that Chinese huo guo is completely different from hotpotChinese huo guo is written in two wordshot pot； and hotpot，one word，is a traditional English dishHotpot is made from mutton and onionOn the top are pieces of potatoesPeople put it in the oven all day in a heavy pot on a low heatIt takes very little effort to prepareYou can often see it at parties in the UK because its easy to prepare for a large number of people and is not expensiveHotpot doesnt taste badHowever，I still miss huo guohot pot，two words!35 . （小题1）The writer felt excited when she thought she wouldAtry traditional English foodBlearn English in the UKChave her favorite huo guoDmeet some new friends36 . （小题2）The underlined wordcanteenmeansBin ChineseA宿舍B餐厅C实验室D体育馆37 . （小题3）Why is hotpot often prepared for parties？ABecause its easy to prepareBBecause its very popularCBecause its quite expensiveDBecause its good for health38 . （小题4）After the free meal，the writer learnt thatAhotpotwasnthot potBhotpot took little time to cookChotpot wasnt traditional in the UKDthe girl knew nothing about hotpot39 . （小题5）What is the writers favorite food？ASandwichesBMuttonCHotpotDHot potOff the Beaten PathThe travel book includes over 200 new places of interest, over 200 new full-colour photos and all up-to-date maps.
