He was sitting in class, but had no idea what the other students were talking about. He had done his homework, paid attention to lectures, and taken notes, but nothing was familiar. “Everyone is so much cleverer than I am,” he thought. It was a strange feeling, as he was always a good student in high school. He felt even more puzzled a few days later. He got lost on his way to his favorite cinema. Whats worse, he began having trouble finding the right words when speaking. He asked, “Whats for dinner, Mom?” after he had just eaten. Poor Andrew, he was only 15! His parents were worried and took Andrew to see a doctor. A brain scan（扫描） made it clear: Andrew had a malignant brain tumor(恶性脑肿瘤) . It was pressing on the part of the brain that makes new memory. He should be operated on as soon as possible. Andrew was scared! Doctors removedthe tumor, but Andrews memory was still poor. He was told he would probably never go back to school. Andrew was eager to enter a university, but it seemed that his dream wouldnt come true. “Even though they told me this, I knew I wanted to go back to school,” Andrew said. “I wanted to get my memory back.” Andrew began by auditing(旁听) an English class at a nearby school. In class, he took notes carefully and read his notes several times a day, then typed them again and again. He studied twelve hours a day, seven days a week. He worked ten times harder than other students. In 2007, at age 29, he graduated from a local university. Six months later, Andrew found a job.24 .

Andrew studied very hard at the nearby school because _.Ahe wanted to realize his dreamBhe liked to stay with other studentsChe wanted to forget his illnessDhis parents asked him to do so28 . The best possible title for this passage should be “_”.AA man with an amazing brainBAn unusual story of memory lost and foundCHow to improve your memoryDNever lose your memory四、阅读判断Im Sarah. I used to have little passion (激情) in my life. But what happened the other day changed my mind. It was then that I learned how important it is to have a passion in life.That day I went home in Moms car. When Mom stopped at a red light, someone on the side of the road caught my eye. It was a man dressed in rags (衣衫褴褛). He was homeless. That didnt interest me, because I had seen many people like him before. Those people usually looked unhappy and hopeless.But this man was different in some way. He was not sitting alone with a sad look. Instead, he had a radio in his hand and was dancing happily to the music. The radio seemed to be the most precious (珍贵的) thing he had.“Mom, why does that man have a radio though hes homeless?” I asked.“Maybe he bought it,” she replied.“But why didnt he use the money to buy food or clothes? He paid for something that he didnt need.”“Well, Sarah, sometimes food and clothes arent the most important.”That man must care so much about music that he bought a radio instead of food or clothes. I soon realized that happiness is the key to life.Since then, I am always thinking of what is truly important in life. A home, a meal, clothes these things are only part of the life. What we often forget is that we all need a joy, a light on a dark day. We all need a passion which gives a person the happiness they need to keep going.Judge the following sentences true (T) or false (F) according to the passage.29 . Sarah went home in her own car that day.30 . The homeless man was dancing happily to the radio music.31 . Sarah had a talk with the homeless man.32 . Sarah wanted her mom to buy some food for the homeless man.33 . From the passage, we can know that happiness is more important than anything else in life.五、句型转换句型转换34 . The old men are working.

But not all activities are equal. The best brain exercises break your routine（常规）and challenge you to use and develop new brain pathways.Think of something new youve always wanted to t56 . , like learning how to play the guitar, dance hip-hop（街舞）, speak French, etc. Any of these activities can help you improve your memory, so long as they keep you challenged.Tip 2 Get your ZsGet on a regular sleep schedule. Go to bed at the same time every night and get up at the same time each morning. Dont break your routine, even on w57 . and holidays.Tip 3 Make time for f58 . Humans are highly social animals. Relationships make our brains excitedin fact, communicating with others may be the best kind of brain exercise. So we need to meet people who we know well and like regularly.Tip 4 Keep stress in checkStress is one of the brains w59 . enemies. Over time, chronic（连续的） stress destroys brain cells and causes damage. So relax yourself properly and regularly.Tip 5 Make laughterYouve heard that laughter is the best medicine, and that holds true for the brain and the memory, as well as the body. Laughter seems to help people think more broadly and associate more freely.Be brave to l60 . at yourself. Share your embarrassing moments with others.Tip 6 Eat a brain-boosting dietJust as the body needs fuel, so does the brain. You need a diet based on fruits, vegetables, whole grains, “healthy” fats（such as olive oil, nuts fish）and lean protein. For brain health, though, its not just what you eatits a61 . what you dont eat.Tip 7 Dont skip the physical exercisePhysical exercise helps your brain stay sharp. It increases oxygen to your brain and reduces the risk for disorders that lead to memory loss.十、回答问题What will the home of the future look like? A team of architects in Hong Kong say that city homes will be tiny, as populations continue to grow and space becomes more expensive. They have designed “spaceflats” that are only 30 square metres in size. These flats have small rooms: a living room, a bathroom and a bedroom, as well as a balcony（阳台）, but everything is carefully planned to make good use of the limited space. The living room is the main room of the flat. It can be used as an office, a kitchen or even a second bedroom. There is a sofa that can be changed into a bed. The dining table can be changed into a computer desk. And, if not needed, both the sofa-bed and the table can be folded away（折叠收拢）. There is a flat-screen TV, which can also serve as a computer monitor. You cant see the cooker, the microwave and the small refrigerator because they are all hidden out of sight. The other rooms are small but practical（实用的）. The bathroom contains a toilet and shower. The double bed in the bedroom can also be a sofa, if necessary. The balcony has enough space for two people to sit and you may see an amazing fountain on it. All the rooms have high ceiling to provide as much storage（存储）space as possible, while the flat has large windows to let in plenty of sunlight. “S
