阅读下列短文，从每题所给的四个选项（A、B、C和D）中，选出最佳选项。

Research on the human brain has been attracting the attention of more and more scientists in recent years. One of the latest research topics is how to change the human brain or combine the computer and the human brain, i.e., to transplant (移植) a chip into human brain. This innovation (创新) may make everyone’s dream come true. If we compare a human brain to a hard disc, what the scientists do is to enlarge the capacity (容量) of the hard disc. There are some difficulties in such transplant experiments, but scientists never give up.

Experiments were started on animals. In 1996, a transplant experiment performed at the Defense and Military Physiology Research Institute in the U.S. turned a bear into a dolphin.

The dolphin was named Ted, and the bear was named Tallin. Using the most advanced technology, deep and detailed studies were made of the swimming action memory area in Ted’s brain by the scientists. They got a lot of useful information. The information was saved into a button-sized chip, which was then transplanted into the action memory area in Tallin’s brain. The information saved on the chip was released by means of electric power.

Recently, another memory transplant was performed at the Motor Nerve Research Institute of the University of California. The transplant was performed from a dog named “Genius” to a dog named “Idiot”. “Genius” could understand and follow up to 100 gestures and orders made by its master. It was a real genius. “Idiot” was the younger brother of “Genius”. It had no contact with people at all since its birth. It became an animal with nothing in its brain, without any memory.

The operation was a complete success. When the two dogs woke up, “Idiot” had all the abilities “Genius” possessed. It could follow every gesture and order given by its master. But “Genius” gave no response to its master, and in fact did not recognize him at all.

1.We can learn from the passage that _____.

A. the two experiments are about memory transplants

B. the scientists exchanged the dolphin’s and the bear’s brains

C. there is no possibility of changing the human brain

D. “Idiot” got only some abilities “Genius” possessed after the experiment

2.The scientists did the two experiments to _____.

A. see if animals can be taught some special skills

B. see if animals can share some common knowledge

C. learn if it’s safe to do such transplant experiments

D. make preparative research on changing the human brain

3.The underlined sentence “The operation was a complete success” in the last paragraph means that _____.

A. the dogs exchanged their memories

B. the dogs could live as before

C. the dogs were as clever as human beings

D. the dogs were safe

4.It could be inferred from the passage that in the future _____.

A. human beings will be healthier

B. animals will be more tender

C. human beings may get knowledge more quickly

D. animals will cause more damage to the environment

I fell in love with England because it was quaint（古雅）---all those little houses, looking terribly old-fashioned but nice, like dolls’ houses. I loved the countryside and the pubs, and I loved London. I’ve slightly changed my mind after seventeen years because I think it’s an ugly town now.

Things have changed. For everybody, England meant gentlemen, fair play, and good manners. The fair play is going, unfortunately, and so are the gentlemanly attitudes and good manners---people shut doors heavily to your face and politeness is disappearing.

I regret that there are so few comfortable meeting places. You’re forced to live indoors. In Paris I go out much more, to restaurants and nightclubs. To meet friends here it usually has to be in a pub, and it can be difficult to go there alone as a woman. The cafes are not terribly nice.

As a woman, I feel unsafe here. I spend a bomb（大量的钱）on taxis because I will not take public transport after 10 p. m. I used to use it, but now I’m afraid.

The idea of family seems to be more or less non-existent in England. My family is well united and that’s typically French. In Middlesex I had a neighbor who is 82 now. His family only lived two miles away, but I took him to France for Christmas once because he was always alone.

1.The writer doesn’t like London because she______.

A. has to be polite to everyone she meets there

B. has lived there for seventeen years

C. prefers to live in an old-fashioned house

D. is not used to the life there now

2.Where do people usually meet their friends in England? ______.

A. In a cafe. B. In a restaurant

C. In a night club D. In a pub.

3.The underlined part “it” (in Para. 4) refers to______.

A. a taxi B. the money

C. public transport D. a bomb

根据短文内容，从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。

We often close ourselves off when unfortunate events happen in our lives. We try to forget the pain by pretending it doesn’t exist, but although we can try all this we want, in the end, we can’t hide from ourselves. 1. Here are some ways you can open your heart more fully.

1. Breathe into pain

Whenever a painful situation arises, try to accept it instead of running away. 2. By using our breath we soften our experiences.

2. Embrace the uncomfortable

3. We know how fear feels in our bodies: the tension in our necks, the tightness in our stomachs, etc. We can face these feelings of discomfort and let them show us where we need to go.

3. Spend time alone

For most of our lives we’re surrounded by people: our friends, colleagues, peers, family members, loved ones, and strangers. How often do we really spend time alone? 4. You can truly open yourself and explore whatever you’d like. The golden ticket here is not to let yourself become distracted; just see what it’s like to be alone.

4. Get outside of yourself

This may seem a little contradictory to the last tip. 5. After you’ve explored the depths of yourself, you come away with a new understanding. Now, it’s time to share that — not through telling others, but through being with others.

A. We all know what anxiety feels like.

B. However, in reality they work hand in hand.

C. We need to learn to open our hearts to the potential of life.

D. When the sadness strikes, take a deep breath and face up to it.

E. You’ll add a new layer of depth and understanding into your life.

F. Lose yourself in the beauty of others; see what they can teach you about yourself.

G. When you spend time in solitude (独自) you’re free from the influences of other people.

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 that. They plan to prohibit residents from dying early because the local cemetery(墓地) has reached full capacity.

There’s no more room to bury the dead, they can’t 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 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 Brazil’s National Environment Council forbids burial grounds in protected areas. Mr. Pereira wants 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 avoid death. “I haven’t got a job, nor am I healthy. And now they say I can’t die. That’s 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 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 the punishment will be.

1.What is the bill to be proposed by the officials in Biritiba Mirim?

A. Ban on building a new cemetery.

B. Ban on parking in certain zones.

C. Forbidding buried grounds in preservation.

D. Prohibiting residents from dying early.

2.What can we infer from the phrase “have gone far beyond that” in the first paragraph?

A. The officials in Biritiba Mirim have made these regulations.

B. The officials in Biritiba Mirim have been to many places around the world.

C. The bill to be proposed by officials in Biritiba Mirim is much too unexpected.

D. The officials in Biritiba Mirim have built too many cemeteries in their town.

3.What’s the attitude of the mayor of Biritiba Mirim towards the federal regulations?

A. He remains silent about them.

B. He gives strong backing to them.

C. He objects to them.

D. He asks the residents for advice on them.

4.Which of the following is TRUE according to the text?

A. The mayor of the town wants to build a new cemetery against federal regulation.

B. The residents of the town sing high praise for the bill.

C. No better resolution of the problems has been thought out.

D. The government is going to change the environmental decree.
