11、ee-second memory. But a 15-year-old schoolboy from Adelaide has just finished an experiment to tell us that it is not true. He shows everybody that the goldfish is smarter than we think.I dont believe that they had a three-second memory because animals need their memory, so they build up over time a

12、 knowledge of where the food is, said Rory Stokes, a student at the Australian Science and Mathematics School.He did the experiment in a small tank(鱼缸)of goldfish. I decided to get a bit of red Logo and just feed them next to that. Every day Id put it in and spread food around it. He said.At first t

13、hey were a bit scared of it, but by the end of the three weeks, they were actually almost coming before I put the food in.After leaving the fish alone for a week, Rory placed the red Logo block in the tank again.They remembered perfectly well, he said.They actually had a time faster than the average

14、(平均)of the three feeds before I left.The goldfish showed that they not only could store information, but also had the ability to get it back at a later date.Culum Brown. a researcher at Sydneys Macquarie University, has studied fish behavior for more than ten years.He says his studies of Australian

15、native fish show fish are smart animals that know how to avoid enemies and catch food like any other animal.The thing that I really liked about Rorys experiment is that he not only got that classical conditioning going but the fact that he could get thorn next just to that specific coloured marker.

16、I thought it was really good. He said.1Rory put a red Logo in the tank to .Aconnect food with the colour Bmake the tank nicer to look atCfeed the fish at the same place Dgive the fish something to play with2Whats the right order of Rorys experiment?a. find a tank of goldfish b. feed the fish next to

18、standard.CMany scientists had already done the experiment before.DRorys research was highly praised by experienced experts(专家).4What can we learn from the story?AFish can become smarter with the help of red colour.BScientists should learn from middle school students.CWhat everybody believes is not n

19、eceaarily true.DYoung people are generally smarter than old ones.B14、He came again the next day and worked until it was time to leave. His name was Jerry. He was 12 and had been at the Childrens Home(孤儿院)since he was only four. I thought of him. He was honest(诚实). For example, the handle (柄) of the

20、ax (斧)broke one day. Jerry said the Childrens Home would mend it. I handed him some money to pay for it. He wouldnt take the money. Ill pay for it, mama. I broke it. I didnt hit the wood in the right place. _. And it was a weak handle. Ill speak to the seller. It was only then that he would take the

21、 money.Another thing about Jerry was that he would do those little but helpful things. The things would not be badly needed but would make life so much easier. For example, he found a hole near the fireplace. Ill put some wood in the hole, mama. Then when a sudden storm(暴风雨)comes up, you can stay wa

22、rm. One cold day, Jerry sat close by me near the fire. We watched the fire bum. He suddenly talked of something he had never talked of before. You look like my mother, especially(特别) next to the fireBut you were four, Jerry, when you came to live at the Childrens Home. Do you still remember your mot

25、ght?AJerry lived with his parents at times.BThe writer was really Jerrys mother.CJerry liked the writer and the writer liked him, too.DJerry did not like to live with his mother.C15、Who would win in a competition to memorize numbers, a chimp (黑猩猩) or a teenager? The teenager? Think again. Scientists

26、 have proved that chimps perform better than human beings when it comes to this kind of problem. We may have to rethink what we believe about human memory. Memory is our ability to learn something, save it and recall it when needed. Our memories are important to our sense of self, our personalities,

27、 and our ability to understand the world. Scientists say that there are different types of memory. There is short-term memory and long-term memory. Your short-term memory saves information for a few seconds or a few minutes. For example, the time it takes to compare the prices of a few items in a st

28、ore. Long-term memory involves the information you try hard to keep, because its meaningful to you (an example is data 数据 about family and friends. ) And then there is visual memory and sound memory. But these are not hard and fast: scientists argue a lot about the nature of memory. Scientists have

29、also found that people memorize things in different ways. Some memorize better with the help of pictures. Others are helped more by sounds. One things for sure. If you can combine different kinds of memory together, you will remember a lot! So why not try pictures with English words? At the same tim

30、e listen to recordings of the same group of words. It may help when it comes to memorizing it.Imagination and association can be useful too. By imagination scientists mean picturing a word in your mind. Association means relating the word to something you already know.1What can we learn from Paragra

31、ph 1?AHuman beings are less clever than chimps.BHuman memory is not as good as before.CChimps can memorize numbers better than teenagers.DChimps perform better than human beings in many aspects.2How many kinds of memory are mentioned in the article?A2 B3 C4 D53According to the article, which of the

32、following is the best way to memorize words?ABy watching TV.BBy listening to music.CBy writing them out many times.DBy listening and watching pictures.4According to the article, which of the following is TRUE?AMemory is the most important ability for human beings.BLong-term memory usually involves m

33、ore important things.CScientists have made sure of the nature of memory.DImagination is better than association in memorizing things.5Where do we probably read the passage?AA textbook BA science magazineCAn advertisement DA news reportD16、Youre not the same person you were as a child. Youre not even

34、 the same personyou were five years ago. We dont just mean your personality. While wed love tostart a never-ending discussion over the “true self”，were here to talk about thecells（细胞）in your body.Do you know how your fingernails and hair are constantly growing and replacingthemselves? The same thing

35、 happens almost everywhere in your body. Your outerlayer of skin makes way for fresher skin, and inside your veins（血管），blood cells turn over to make wayfor fresh blood. Its probably no surprise that these types of cells are short-lived, even some of the mostseemingly permanent（永久的）parts of your body

36、 replace themselves over time-including your bones.Strong as your bones might seem, the cells theyre made of wont last a lifetime. Bones are masters at rebuilding themselves, which is why most broken bones can heal on their own into the right shape.Bones have special cells called osteoclasts（破骨细胞）wh

37、ose job is to break down bone, even if itisnt broken, and send the minerals into the blood stream. This may sound frighteningly like your bonesare wearing away, but your body knows what its doing. As osteoclasts break down bone, osteoblasts（成骨细胞）build up new bone to replace the old. By the end of ea

38、ch year, about 10 percent of yourentire adult skeleton will have been rebuilt through this process.If 10 percent of your bone breaks down every year, it must take about ten years to renew 100percent of your skeleton. That would be a great guess, and it lines up nicely with the medical myth thatthe h

39、uman bodys cells are fully replaced every seven years, but the body is a bit more complex. That10 percent is just an average-some bone grows faster than that, and some grows slower. While someparts of your bone will turn over quickly, other parts will stick around for decades. In fact, most bonecell

40、s could live as long as 50 years.So before you get wrapped up in an identity crisis（危机）about the cells in your body disappearingon you, know that you can lose some hair and you can cut your nails, but the bones of you arent goinganywhere-at least not very soon and not all at once.1Which of the follo

41、wing is TRUE according to the passage?AAll the cells in our body are the same ones that we were born with.BOur blood cells are constantly growing and replacing themselves.CIt must take about 10 years to rebuild 100 percent of our skeleton.DOsteoblasts can break down skin and also rebuild it over tim

42、e.2The underlined words wearing away probably mean“”Abuilding upBtaking offCdying outDturning on3What does the passage mainly talk about?AOur skeleton seems permanent but renews itself over time.BIt is not surprising that some cells in our body are short-lived.CThere are two types of cells in our bo

43、nes: osteoclasts and osteoblasts.DWe are not the same person we were five years ago because of personality.E17、Our voice gives away a lot of information about ourselves. It can tell us our gender(性别)and age. And now, scientists say that it can also tell us our height.Scientists at Washington Univers

44、ity, Indiana University and University of California found that listeners could accurately tell the height of speakers, just by their voices. And the key to this mystery is a sound known as the subglottal resonance（声门下共振）. Itdeepenswith height and helps us build a mental picture of a person.“The bes

45、t way to think about subglottal resonances is to imagine blowing into a glass bottle with water. The less water in the bottle, the lower sound,” said John Morton, a scientist at Washington University. And its the same for humans. The frequency of the subglottal resonance depends on the height. The t

46、aller we are, the deeper the resonance frequency is. In order to find out whether people could identify the resonance, scientists did experiments. A number of same-sex pairs of different heights were told to read the same sentence aloud. It was played back to listeners who had to choose which one of

47、 the pairs was taller. Then, other listeners had to rank the speakers from the shortest to the tallest. The listeners were able to identify the tall people 62.1% of time, much higher than a lucky guess. Why not try the experiment yourself? Find out if your tall friends have deeper voices.1The scient

48、ists in some American universities found that peoples voices _.Achange more quickly as they get olderBcan tell the height of the speakerCsound different when they have water in their mouthDcan tell the speakers gender, age and weight2The underlined word deepensmight mean _ in Chinese.A变得刺耳 B变得高亢 C变得

49、低沉 D变得甜美3According to the study, taller people usually have a _ voice.Adeeper Blouder Clower Dhigher4Which of the following is TRUE?AOur voice is made up of the subglottal resonance.BThe people tested in the experiments were of different-sex pairs.CA persons voice is greatly different even when read

50、ing the same sentence.DListeners ability to identify taller speaker is much higher than a lucky guess.5The best title of the passage might be _.AHow to Be TallerBOur Voice Tells Our HeightCAn Experience about VoiceDSomething about Subglottal ResonanceF18、Not only a popular singer was Yao Beina, but

51、also she was an energetic and warm-hearted angel. She had her corneas (眼角膜) donated to two men who needed them, which helped them see the world clearly again. Yao was born in a music family on Sept. 26, 1981 in Wuhan. She started to learn the piano at the age of 4, and she sang her first song on the

52、 stage when she was 9 years old. Yao did quite well in singing, so she took part in the thirteenth Youth Singing Competition and won the first prize.She became well-known to the public after making a series of songs for the hit TV drama “The Legend of Zhenhuan” in 2012, and the mandarin version (中文版

53、本) of “Let It Go” from Disneys “Frozen”. In July 2013, she competed in The Voice of China II and finally got the second place in Na Yings team. She had won a lot of music awards before she was famous. Yao Beina was unfortunate to be diagnosed（诊断） with breast cancer (乳腺癌) and had a successful operation in 2011. Since then, she has fought against the disease for about four years while keeping singing, but sadly she f
