So, the world became his school. With

18、great interest, he read everything he could lay his hands on, listened to the town elders and learned about the world beyond his tiny hometown. “Theres so much to learn,” hed say. “Though we are born stupid, only the stupid remain that way. He was determined that none of his children would be denied

19、 an education.Thus, Papa insisted that we learn at least one new thing each day. Though, as children, we thought this was crazy, it would never have occurred to us to deny Papa a request. And dinner time seemed perfect for sharing what we had learned. We would talk about the news of the day; no matt

20、er how insignificant, it was never taken lightly. Papa would listen carefully and was ready with some comment, always to the point.Then came the moment-the time to share the days new learning.Papa, at the head of the table, would push back his chair and pour a glass of red wine, ready to listen.“Fel

21、ice,” hed say. “tell me what you learned today.”“I learned that the population of Nepal is.”Silence.Papa was thinking about what was said, as if the salvation (拯救) of the world would depend upon it. “The population of Nepal. Hmm. Well.” hed say. “Get the map; lets see where Nepal is.” And the whole

22、family went on a search for Nepal.This same experience was repeated until each family member had a turn. Dinner ended only after we had a clear understanding of at least half a dozen such facts.As children, we thought very little about these educational wonders. Our family, however, was growing toge

27、 regret about those wasted days.

28、research reveals.Our scent acts on a part of the canine (犬科的) brain associated with reward and the strongest reactions are produced by humans that pets know best, say scientists in America.Gregory Bern, of Emory University in Atlanta, said, “While we might expect that dogs should be highly tuned to

29、the smell of other dogs, it seems that the reward response is reserved for their humans. When humans smell the perfume of someone they love, they may have an immediate, emotional reaction thats not necessarily cognitive (认识的). So is it in dogs. But since dogs have a more sensitive smell than humans.

30、 their responses would likely be even more powerful than the ones we might have. In our experiment, however. the owners of the dog were not physically present. The canine brain responses were being caused by something distant in space and time. It shows that dogs brains have these mental representat

31、ions of us that persist when were not there.”The experiment involved 12 dogs of various kinds by brain scans while five different scents were placed in front of them. The scent samples (样本)came from the subject (接受试险者) itself, a dog the subject had never met, a dog living in the subjects household.

32、The familiar human scent samples were taken from someone else from the house other than the handlers during the experiment, so that none of the scent donors were physically present.The results showed all five scents gained a similar response in parts of the dogs brains involved in detecting smells.

33、Responses were significantly stronger for the scent of familiar humans, followed by that of familiar dogs. The findings showed dogs reacted strongest to the scent of familiar humans even when they were not there. Pets trained ashelp or therapy dogs show ed greater brain activity than the other dogs

34、in the test.Researchers say the findings could improve the way to select animals helping wounded old soldiers or disabled people.1、Whats the main idea of the passage?AThe scent of the dogs.BThe emotions of animals influenced by the scent.CThe differences between animals and humans in scent.DThe sens

36、 complex.DThe experiment is very valuable.4、In which column of a newspaper can we read this passage?AScience.BEducation.CCulture.DEntertainment.24（8分）Flaubert had it that “one way of tolerating existence is to lose oneself in literature as in an unending party”It turns out that reading doesnt only h

37、elp us to tolerate existence，but actually lengthens it.A recent study by Yale University researchers，published online in the journal Social Science & Medicine，concluded that “book readers experienced a 20 percent reduction in the risk of death over the 12 years of followup compared to nonreaders”The

38、 data was obtained from the study sponsored by the National Institute on Aging.The study looked at 3,635 subjects，all older than 50，whom the researchers divided into three groups：those who didnt read books，those who read up to 3.5 hours a week and those who read more than 3.5 hours a week.The findin

39、gs were remarkable：on average，book readers survived almost two years longer than those who didnt crack open a book.The more the subjects read，the longer they lived，but as little as 30 minutes a day was still beneficial in terms of survival.Accounting for factors such as education level，income and he

40、alth status，the study found that those who read more than 3.5 hours weekly were 23 percent less likely to die during that 12year period.Those who read up to 3.5 hoursan average of a half hour a daywere 17 percent less likely.“In other words，just like a healthy diet and exercise，books appear to promo

41、te a significant survival advantage，” the authors concluded.Why or how thats_the_case remains unclear；the research showed only an association between book reading and longevity，not a causal relationship.But the findings are not so surprising.Other recent research showed that reading novels appears t

42、o increase both brain connectivity and sympathy.1、Why does the author mention Flauberts words in the first paragraph?ATo stress the value of reading.BTo compare reading with a party.CTo introduce the study on reading.DTo support the findings of the study.2、From the text，what can we learn about the s

45、health.Dhttp：/www.thebookbag.co.uk/Book_Recommendations.25（10分）Generally speaking, government regulations normally ban anything from smoking in public places to parking in certain zones. But officials in the Brazilian town of Biritiba Mirim, 70km (45miles) east of Sao Paulo, have gone far beyond tha

46、t. They plan to prohibit residents from dying early because the local cemetery(墓地) has reached full capacity.Theres no more room to bury the dead, they cant be cremated(火化) and laws forbid a new cemetery. So the mayor has proposed a strange solution: outlaw death. Mayor Roberto Pereira says the bill

47、 is meant as a protest against federal regulations that prohibit new or expanded cemeteries in preservation areas. “They have not taken local demands into consideration”, he claims.A 2003 decree(法令) by Brazils National Environment Council forbids burial grounds in protected areas. Mr. Pereira wants

48、to build a new cemetery, but the project has been stopped because 98% of Biritiba Mirim is considered as a preservation area.Biritiba Mirim, a town of 28,000 inhabitants, not only wants to prohibit residents from passing away. The bill also calls on people to take care of their health in order to av

49、oid death. “I havent got a job, nor am I healthy. And now they say I cant die. Thats ridiculous,” Amarido do Prado, an unemployed resident said.The city council is expected to vote on the regulation next week. “Of course the bill is laughable, illegal, and will never be approved,” said Gilson Soares

50、 de Campos, an assistant of the mayor. “But can you think of a better resolution to persuade the government to change the environmental decree that is prohibiting us from building a new cemetery?” The bill states that “offenders will be held responsible for their acts.” However, it does not say what

51、 the punishment will be.1、What is the bill to be proposed by the officials in Biritiba Mirim?ABan on building a new cemetery. BBan on parking in certain zones.CForbidding buried grounds in preservation. DProhibiting residents from dying early.2、What can we infer from the phrase “have gone far beyond

52、 that” in the first paragraph?AThe officials in Biritiba Mirim have made these regulations.BThe officials in Biritiba Mirim have been to many places around the world.CThe bill to be proposed by officials in Biritiba Mirim is much too unexpected.DThe officials in Biritiba Mirim have built too many ce

53、meteries in their town.3、Whats the attitude of the mayor of Biritiba Mirim towards the federal regulations?AHe gives strong backing to them.BHe objects to them.CHe remains silent about them.DHe asks the residents for advice on them.4、Which of the following is TRUE according to the text?AThe bill has

54、 come into effect but it doesnt state clearly what punishements the offenders will receive.BThe residents of the town sing high praise for the bill.CThe government is going to change the unreasonale and laughable decree.DNo better resolution of the problems has been thought out.第三部分 语言知识运用（共两节）第一节（每
