That could be a sign that your brain is getting rid of unnecessary information so that it can operate more efficiently, and help you make better decisions.The researchers say t

12、here are numerous neurobiological(神经生物学的)studies conducted on how the brain stores information, a process called persistence (暂留). However, scientists also assumed that our occasional inability to recall facts was due to a are an the brain. In 2013, scientists discovered that as new neurons combine

13、with the hippocampus(海马区)a region of the brain that plays a significant role in learning and rememberingthey overwrite old memories, making them harder to access. There is also evidence that the brain weakens or removes connections between neurons, in which memories are encoded.The scientists have a

14、 theory on why the brain spends so much energy erasing memories. They say what the brain decides to forget is determined by our daily life. An example is that our brains remember phone numbers according to the need. Instead of storing this irrelevant information that our phones can store for us, our

15、 brains are freed up to store the memories that actually do matter for us. They also believe that memorizing too much detail could prevent us from making good decisions.So the next time you are unable to recall a seemingly important fact, dont be hard on yourself. Just throw it to your brains “rubbi

19、d?22（8分） Flowers make people happy. And while that might seem obvious, there hasnt been much research to prove the point until now.Some new studies by Rutgers University scientists support the idea strongly, and the experts go on to assume that flowers have flourished on this planet, with their beau

20、ty evolving in recent thousands of years, partly because humans are so attached to them.In a test, bunches of flowers were sent by florists to 113 men and women in a retirement community. All 113 got flowers and a notebook, but some got them earlier and received a second bunch when the others got th

21、eirs. By now you can guess the outcome. The more flowers, the more smiles.The results of the studies got the scientists to thinking about how the flower industry of today has evolved into growing things that serve no other purpose than emotional (情感上的) satisfaction. Nature wont even pollinate (授粉) m

22、any of the domesticated flowers. Just among roses, there are so many types created by humans that, clearly, flowers arent what they used to be. But its likely our collective hand has played a role longer than you might think.Geneticist (遗传学家) Terry McGuire suggests that natures prettier flowers got

23、to survive and develop well because people didnt destroy them when they cleared for agriculture. Instead, they grew them and have been doing so for over 5,000 years. “Because theyre a source of pleasure, we take care of them. In that sense theyre like dogs. They are the pets of the plant world.” McG

24、uire says.Here is one way that might have worked:Many species of flowers that are now planted used to grow only when the ground was disturbed, McGuire explains. “As humans moved into agricultural settings, these flowers would have been weeds.” “These flowers might have been tolerated because of thei

25、r beauty. The seeds would have been preserved and replanted. Over time, the best of these flowers might have been selected and the seeds more carefully preserved.”1、The underlined word “theirs” probably means _.AflowersBnotebooksCflowers and notebooksDa second bunch of flowers2、Which of the followin

26、g statements is NOT TRUE?AWe keep dogs because they make us happy.BPeople grow flowers for thousands of years.CThe more flowers people get, the happier they are.DPeople left all the flowers alive when clearing land.3、According to Terry McGuire, one possible way of flower evolution is _.a. the most b

People seem to think that they know what kind of person a “Jessica” or a “Michael” looks like. Why is this?According

29、to a study published in the Journal of Personality and Social Psychology, humans tend to associate peoples names with their appearances, and can even guess someones name based on how they look.Researchers at the Hebrew University of Jerusalem, Israel, collected thousands of photos of peoples faces.

30、They labeled (贴标签于) each photo with four names. Then, they asked volunteers to guess which of the four names was correct.The volunteers were able to guess the right name 38% of the time. It seems that certain characteristics of faces give them clues about someones name, Readers Digest reported.Howev

31、er, this only worked when the volunteers looked at names from their own culture. In addition, the volunteers were not as good at guessing the real names of people who used nicknames(昵称) more often than their real names. This may show that a persons appearance is affected by their name only if they u

32、se it often.“This kind of face-name matching happens because of a process of self-fulfilling prophecy(预言), as we become what other people expect us to become,” Ruth Mayo from tile university told science news website EurekAlert.Earlier studies have shown that gender(性别) and race stereotypes(刻板印象) ca

33、n affect a persons appearance. The researchers believe there are also similar stereotypes about names. For example, people tend to think that men named Bob should have rounder faces because the word itself looks round. People may think that women named Rose are beautiful. They expect them to be “del

34、icate” and “female”, just like the flower they are named for.1、How is this article developed?ABy giving examples.BBy asking questions.CBy doing an experiment.DBy comparing different cases.2、What can be inferred from the study?AVolunteers found it much easier to guess nicknames.BNames have different

35、associations in different cultures.CVolunteers could guess the characteristics of the interviewees.DThe people in the photos and volunteers were from the same culture.3、Why do some people look like their names according to Ruth Mayo?AThey want to please everyone around them.BThey dont want to be dif

36、ferent from others.CThey tend to become what others expect them to become.DThey like to copy famous people who share the same name.4、What may be the best title for this passage?AWhat determines our namesBWhy we look like our namesCHow we get rid of our stereotypesDHow stereotypes affect peoples look

37、s24（8分）We all know what it is like to be unable to turn your head because of a cold in the muscles (肌肉) of your neck, or because an unexpected twist (扭曲) has made your neck ache. The slightest move makes you jump with pain. Nothing could be worse than a pain in the neck.That is why we use the phrase

38、 to describe some people who give you the same feeling. We have all met such people.One is the man who always seems to be clapping his handsoften at the wrong timeduring a performance in the theater. He keeps you from hearing the actors.Even worse are those who can never arrive before the curtain go

39、es up and the play begins. They come hurrying down to your row of seats. You are comfortably settled down, with your hat and heavy coat in your lap. You must stand up to let them pass. You are proud of yourself-control after they have settled into their seats.Well, what now . God, one of them is up

40、again. He forgot to go to the men s room, and once more you have to stand up, hanging on to your hat and coat to let him pass. Now, that is a pain in the neck.Another, well-known to us all, is the person sitting behind you in the movies. His mouth is full of popcorn (爆米花); he is chewing (嚼) loudly,

41、or talking between bites to friends next to him. None of them remain still. Up and down, back and forth, they go for another bag of popcorn, or something to drink.Then, there is the man sitting next to you at lunch, smoking. He wants you to enjoy it too, and blows smoke across your food into your mo

42、uth.We must not forget the man who comes into a bus or subway and sits down next to you, just as close as you will let him. You are reading the newspaper and he gets closer so that he can read the paper with you. He may even turn the paper to the next page before you are ready for it.We also call su

43、ch a person a rubber neck, always getting close to where it does not belong, like neighbors who watch all your visitors. They enjoy learning about your personal business.

48、words and sentences.For people suffering from ALS（渐冻症）, also known as motor neurone disease, eye movement can be the only way they are able to communicate.“Current eye-tracking input systems for people with ALS or other motor impairments are expensive, not strong and healthy under sunlight, and requ

50、to learn.”The app is used by the listener by pointing their smartphone at the speaker.
