19.People who smoke could lose around one third of their daily memory,researchers say.
    A study by a team at Northumbria University showed that smokers lost more of their memory when compared to non-smokers.
    And the research also found that those who kicked the habit saw their ability to recollect information restored to almost the same level as non-smokers.
    The study involved more than seventy 18-to-25-year-olds and included a tour of the university's campus.Those who took part were asked to recall small details,such as a list of songs played at a campus concert and tasks completed at various points-known as real world memory test.Smokers performed badly,remembering just 59 percent of tasks.But those who had given up smoking remembered 74 percent and those who had never smoked recalled 81 percent of tasks.
    Dr.Tom Heffernan,who leads Northumbria University's Collaboration for Drug and Alcohol Research Group,said the findings would be useful in anti-smoking campaigns.He said,"Given that there are up to 10 million smokers in the UK and as many as 45 million in the United States,it's important to understand the effects smoking has on everyday cognitive(认知的)function-of which prospective memory is an excellent example."
"This is the first time that a study has set out to examine whether giving up smoking has an impact on memory.We already know that giving up smoking has huge health benefits for the body,but this study also shows how stopping smoking can have knock-on benefits for cognitive functions too.''
    The research will now investigate the effects of passive smoking on memory,while Dr.Heffernan and Dr.Terence O'Neil will look into the effects of third-hand smoking-toxins left on curtains and furniture.

20.Knowing the best way to study will help you to be a better student.By using your time properly,you can do your homework more quickly.Learning to study is not difficult.
The first thing to remember is that you must be willing to learn.It doesn't mean that you must always like the subject.It does mean,however,that you must be wil1ing to do whatever is necessary to learn.Try to understand why it is important and how it will help you now and later to do and learn other things.Knowing mathematics facts will be useful in your whole life.Knowing how to spell makes any kind of writing easier.Sometimes subject that you think is going to be uninteresting will be exciting when you begin to work at it and understand it more clearly.Learning things can be fun if you are willing to work with them.
Here's some advice for you:have a certain time each day and a quiet place with good lighting for study,so that you can concentrate on your study without interruptions(中断); have everything ready before you sit down to study,a dictionary,paper,a pen and books; be sure you understand what you should learn before you start; read carefully and pay special attention to the most important things; when memorizing,first find out the main parts and then recite the whole thing; check your homework after you finish it; never forget the importance of review and preview.

17.Something strange was unbelievable.Take Robert for example.After the terrible car accident,his whole world had been completely dark and quiet for almost ten years.The loss of sight and hearing made him try many times to put end to his life.
His family especially his wife did their best to tend and comfort him.By and by he finally regained the courage to live on.
On a hot summer afternoon he was taking a walk with a stick near his house when a thunderstorm started suddenly.He stood under a large tree in order not to get himself wet.Unfortunately he was struck down to the ground by a lightning.The witnesses thought him dead but he woke up some 20minutes later lying face down in muddy water below the tree.He felt that he was trembling badly,but when he opened his eyes,he didn't dare to believe that he saw a plough( 犁子 )lying near the wall.When Mrs Edwards came running up to him,she shouted their neighbours for help.And he saw her and heard her voice for the first time in nearly ten years.
The news of Robert's regaining his sight and hearing quickly spread in his area.And many doctors came to prove the truth of the news.Most of them said that he gained sight and hearing again obviously from the knock of lightning; none of them could give convincing reasons,however.The only reasonable explanation given by one doctor was that,since Edwards lost his sight and hearing as a result of sudden shock in a terrible accident,perhaps the only way for them to regain was by another sudden shock.

56.What did Edwards see first after being struck down by a lightning?C
A.His wife           B.The large tree
C.A plough           D.The lightning itself
57.Which of the following is NOT true?C
A.Edwards had been deaf and blind for nearly ten years
B.Edwards lost all his senses for about 20minutes after the lightning had struck him down
C.Doctor held the belief that Edwards was never really blind and deaf.
D.Edwards woke up with face in mud.
58.What was Edwards doing when he was struck by the lightning?A
A.Hiding from the rain under a tree.
B.Driving a car.
C.Taking a walk                   
D.lying on the ground
59.How did Edwards get his sight and hearing once more according to the doctor?D
A.He regained them from head injury when he fell from a tree.
B.His wife's first visit after almost ten years made him so happy that he regained them.
C.The lightning took the feeling from his legs and gave the senses of sight and hearing to his head.
D.The blow that caused him blind and deaf was very severe,so it took another severe blow to regain them.
19.Coral reefs(珊瑚礁)are not just beautiful to look at,but also very useful.They shelter nearly
25% of ocean life and provide food for billions of people.However,like many other species,this amazing ecosystem(生态系统)is in danger of dying out!
There are two main reasons for the destruction-the rising carbon dioxide levels caused by global warming as well as human influences like bottom operation.While not much can be done about the former,the loss caused by the latter can be reduced.
Bottom operation involves dropping nets to the ocean bed and then dragging them up when filled with fish.This action damaged the ocean floor,causing the coral branches to separate from the reefs.While that is very discouraging,the good news is that if these branches are found quickly,they can be saved.At present,that work is being performed by volunteer divers.But the method has only limited success because they cannot stay long underwater,nor reach depths of over 200meters where some of the deep-sea coral grows.
However,this is not the case for Coralbots-the robots that can constantly seek out broken branches.A team of‘coralbots',each individually working to simple rules will piece together damaged bits of coral,allowing them to regrow.They are programmed to be able to distinguish between other things and the coral.The robots work together in groups,similar to bees.If one coralbot is damaged then the others will still be able to complete the task.
Dr Lea-Anne Henry said:"The project of using coralbots offers us the possibility to restore(修复)the function of reefs.It is in the final stage of testing.Once ready,the researchers hope to build hundreds of them and use them effectively in the waters off Scotland and then hopefully in the oceans across the world."

32.Which of the following is a cause of the danger that coral reefs are facing?D
A.The appearance of new creatures.
B.The seriously polluted sea water.
C.The activities of volunteer divers.
D.Human activities like bottom operation.
33.Compared with volunteer divers,coralbotsA.
A.can stay longer underwater        B.must work as bees do
C.can distinguish what is coral     D.can never be damaged
34.What does the underlined word"them"in the last paragraph refer to?A
A.Coralbots   B.Broken branches  C.working bees   D.Bits of coral
35.We can infer from the passage thatB.
A.bottom operation has affected most underwater creatures
B.broken branches of coral can regrow if saved in time
C.hundreds of the coralbots have worked well in the oceans
D.with the coralbots all damaged coral reefs can be restored.
