20．People who smoke could lose around one third of their everyday memory，researchers say．
A study by a team at the University of Northumbria has shown that smokers lose 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-old volunteers and included a tour of the university's campus．Those who took part were asked to recall（回忆；回想）small details，such as music acts listed to play at the students'union and tasks completed at various points---known as a real-world memory test．
Smokers performed badly，remembering just 59percent of tasks．But those who had given up smoking remembered 74percent and those who had never smoked recalled 81percent 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 10million smokers in the UK and as many as 45million in America，it's important to understand the effects that smoking has on everyday cognitive function．"
This is the first time that a study has set out to examine whether giving up smoking has an effect on memory．We already know that giving up smoking has huge health benefits to the body，but this study also shows how stopping smoking can bring a series of benefits to cognitive function．The research will now investigate the effects of second-hand smoking on memory，while Dr．Heffernan will look into third-hand smoking，such as toxins （毒素） left on curtains and furniture．
45．What would be the best title for the passage？C
A．The Effects That Smoking Has on Health
B．New Research on Third-Hand Smoking
C．Smokers Have Much Worse Everyday Memory

46．The underlined words，"kicked the habit"，in the second paragraph can be replaced by"A"．
A．giving up smoking
B．smoked at times
C．smoked regularly
D．hated smoking
47．What was the real-world memory test like？D
A．It needed young volunteers to complete some tasks．
B．It was about making a tour of the university's campus．
C．It needed volunteers to act at the students'union．
D．It involved a tour and a process of recalling some details．
48．We can learn from the passage thatB．
A．America has twice as many smokers as the UK
B．the research findings will help anti-smoking campaigns
C．the effects of second-hand smoking on memory have been found by the study
D．those who have stopped smoking have as good a memory as non-smokers．

17．Do you find getting up in the morning so difficult that it's painful？This might be called laziness，but Dr．Kleitman has a new explanation．He has proved that everyone has a daily energy cycle．
During the hours when you labor through your work you may say that you're"hot"．That's true．The time of day when you feel the most energetic is when your cycle of body temperature is at its peak．For some people the peak comes during the forenoon．For others it comes in the afternoon or evening．No one has discovered why this is so，but it leads to such familiar monologues （自言自语） as John talks to himself："Get up，John!You'll be late for work again!"The possible explanation for the trouble is that John is at his temperature-and-energy peak in the evening．Much family quarrelling ends when husbands and wives realize what these energy cycles mean，and which cycle each member of the family has．
You can't change your energy cycle，but you can learn to make your life fit it better．Habit can help，Dr．Kleitman believes．Maybe you're sleepy in the evening but feel you must stay up late anyway．Adjust your cycle to some extent by staying up later than you want to．If your energy is low in the morning but you have an important job to do early in the day，rise before your usual hour．This won't change your cycle，but you'll get up steam （打起精神） and work better at your low point．
Begin with a slow start which saves your energy．Get up with a slow yawn and stretch．Sit on the edge of the bed a minute before putting your feet on the floor．Avoid the troublesome search for clean clothes by laying them out the night before．Whenever possible，do usual work in the afternoon and spend time doing important work for your high peak hours．
32．According to Dr．Kleitman if you don't want to get up in the morningC．
A．you must be a lazy person
B．you must catch a cold
C．your energy cycle must be low
D．you should stay in bed

A．A change in a family member's energy cycle．
B．Familiar monologues．
C．Unawareness of energy cycles．
D．Attempts to control the energy cycle of other family members．
34．If one wants to work better at his low point in the morning，he shouldD．
A．change his energy cycle
B．go to bed earlier
C．overcome his laziness
D．get up earlier than usual
35．You are advised to rise with a yawn and stretch because it willB．
A．help you to control your temper early in the day
B．help to keep your energy for the day's work

My dream school starts at 8：30a．m and ends at 3：30p．m．They are three lessons in the morning and two in the afternoon．We didn't need to do so many homework．Therefore，we have more time with after-school activities．For example，we can do reading for one and a half hour and play sports for one hour every day．
My dream school look like a big garden．There are all kinds of the flowers and trees around the classroom buildings．We can lie on the grass for a rest，or sat by the lake listening music．The teachers here are kind and helpfully．They are not only our teachers but also our friends．

1．Things didn't go on according to plan，which was quite beyond their expectation（s）．

18．On a dark night，11-year-old Joe was playing hide-and-seek with his friends in the backyard when he thought he saw Magellan-a huge housecat．However，when the cat suddenly jumped on his head，Joe found it turned out a young cougar（美洲狮）．He backed away from the animal，then turned and ran inside the house．
Cougar encounters （遭遇） like this one are becoming very common in the U．S．Most people assume that's because cougar populations are growing，or because the big cats are coming into closer contact with the expanding web of human suburbs．But Professor Robert Wielgus at Washington State University argues that poorly designed hunting policies might be causing an increase in cougar-human conflicts．
Wielgus's research teams have been fitting the big cats with radio collars and monitoring their movements．They find that the cougar population is actually decreasing rapidly and almost no male cougars are over four years of age．And a study shows that the heavily hunted area has five times as many cougar complaints as the lightly hunted area-even though the density（密度）of cougars is about the same in both areas．
Wielgus suspects that hunting policies，which allow older males to be killed to keep cougar populations in check，were the culprit and teenage cougars in the heavily hunted area may be responsible for most of the trouble．To test his theory，he adds two more groups of cougars to the tracking program-one in a heavily hunted area and another in a comparable but lightly hunted area．He concludes that heavy hunting indeed almost wipes out older males and the population structure in the heavily hunted area shifts toward younger animals．
With these findings，Wielgus believes without adults to keep them under control，the disorderly teens are more likely to come into conflict with humans，farm animals and pets．
Wielgus's ideas don't sit well with everyone．"Hunting definitely does cause lots of teenage males to flow in，but I don't yet see solid proof that they are more likely to cause trouble than older cats，"says the University of Montana's Robinson．"In many cases，the new arrivals have been squeezed （挤出） out of remote wilderness habitat and forced into areas where they are more likely to encounter humans．I think humans are primarily responsible for all the interaction you see．We're moving into these areas where cougars and deer are，"according to Alldredge，a researcher at the Colorado Division of Wildlife．
We may not understand what makes 18-year-old males more likely than 48-year-old men to do dangerous things，Wielgus says，but we know that the world would be a different place，if teenagers were in charge．

19．Many people in high school cannot wait to go to college and leave their hometown behind．Questions arise，though，when it comes to all of the decisions involved in choosing a college．
One of the first considerations may be finance．State and public colleges are often the least expensive．Often，though，the better colleges are private and more expensive．It is sad when gifted students cannot attend a college of their choice just for financial reasons．
Another major factor is location．Whether the college is in a small town or large city can have a major impact on its activities．A water lover probably will be more comfortable spending four years near an ocean or a lake．Those who cannot tolerate heat will probably be more comfortable at a northern college．Distance from home may also come into consideration．If family is a top priority，that person should stay close to home； on the other hand，if independence is desired，a campus farther from home would be more appropriate．
School size also plays a major role in the decision process．If you want to get to know your teachers，a small college is suitable．For those of you who consider yourself a"people_person"and want a wide range of activities，a large college is more fitting．Your area of interest is another factor to consider in the decisionmaking process if you want to get the most from your education．The whole point of college is to learn what is of interest to you．
Crucially（至关重要地），one must take into consideration the colleges by which you can realistically be accepted．An Ivy League school for an average student would probably not be a good match．Similarly，an average school for an aboveaverage student would not work well．The college should provide enough of a challenge for the student to work hard．Although there may not be the perfect college out there，there probably will be one that is close．Those who cannot find a suitable college are probably not looking hard enough．
8．When it comes to going to college the author thinksC．
A．students will become homesick
B．students are unwilling to leave their home
C．financial situation is the first to consider
D．students are eager to attend their ideal university
9．What is the main idea of the third paragraph？A
A．The location of the college is a main factor．
B．A long distance will make students upset．
C．Students can be independent at college．
D．The climate must be taken into consideration．
10．What does the underlined part"people person"in the passage mean？A
A．A very sociable person．
B．A very particular person．
C．A person of great capacity．
D．A person of great importance．
11．Which is the most important factor when choosing a college？D
A．The location of a college．
