【解析】

试题分析:本文通过一个小故事告诉大家语言存在文化差异。

【1】考查连词。根据语境可知,该句句意为:在她来中国之前,她对中国的语言文化知之甚少。故该空填连词Before.

【2】考查非谓语。分析句式可知,该处应为非谓语作目的状语,故该空填to draw.

【3】考查代词。该处语意为:让她吃惊的是:to her surprise,故该空填her.

【4】考查冠词。根据语境可知,该处语意为:对于这样的一个问题(such a question)她很吃惊。故表示填不定冠词a.

【5】考查谓语。该篇文章描述的是过去的事情,使用一般过去时为基本时态,故该原因状语从句的谓语be动词正确形式为:was.

【6】考查动词的过去分词形式。该处谓语时态应为过去完成时had done(表示过去的过去),故该空填eaten.

【7】考查形容词比较级。根据语境可知,当学校的一位老师也问她有没有吃午饭时,她显然是更加惊讶不解more surprised了。故该空填more.

【8】考查名词。该空为句子表语且为邀请的名词形式,故应填invitation.

【9】考查固定用法。sb spend time/money (in) doing sth,故该空应填(in )trying.

【10】考查固定短语。be concerned about:关心;挂念,故该空填concerned.

【题目】Until just a few years ago,we doctors believed that the brain stopped making new neural(神经系统的)connections (meaning that your memory began to get worse)when the body stopped developing,usually in your early 20s. And we knew that,like any other body part,neurons weaken as we age. Loss of brain function due to neural breakdown was assumed to be a normal,unavoidable part of aging.

It turns out that we were wrong. In the past few years,it has been discovered that you can,in fact,make new neurons starting in your 20s and continuing well into old age. You can literally rewire the brain with new parts as the older parts wear out. How?Simple:Keep learning. Just as your body can pack on and condition new muscle,your brain can rebuild used-up neurons.

How strong is the evidence for this?Strong enough that a $200 million industry devoted to brain boosting software (products like Brain Age,MindFit,and Lumosity that supposedly improve your memory function)has sprung up out of nowhere. Allmental fitnessmeans are keeping your memory intact(everything from phone numbers to how to throw a football).So what can you do to stay smart?

Keep blood pressure down. People with high blood pressure are more likely to develop cognitive impairment later in life.

Eat more vitamins. Like E(in nuts and sunflower seeds),B6 and B12(beef,tuna),and folic acid(leafy greens,citrus,berries),which help keep your brains chemistry in balance.

Exercise your brain. This is the best way to rebuild and strengthen those precious neurons. Learn to play chess or the guitar. When youre at a stoplight,try to recall the starting lineup of the 1983 Celtics. See a movie that doesnt feature Ben Stiller. Or read,like,a book.

【题目】If you saw another kid ride her bike too fast around a corner and fall down, you might ride your bike more slowly on that turn. Yes, we humans are very sensitive to others' mistakes. And the same is true for other animals. Animals mess up all the time. They might eat poisonous leaves, fall off a tree or let their prey (猎物) slip away. By watching others fail, an animal can avoid making the same mistakes, thus improving its chance of survival.

Scientists suspected that one part of the brain helps animals process information about others' errors. Cells in that part appear to become more active when a person sees someone else making a mistake. But researchers didn't know whether individual cells in this part of the brain play different roles in detecting errors.

To investigate the brain's response to errors in more detail, the researchers taught a game to two macaques, a type of monkey. One monkey could press a yellow or green button while the other watched. If the first monkey pressed the right button, the team gave both animals a treat. Every couple of rounds, the two monkeys switched roles. Meanwhile, the scientists monitored individual cells in the animal's brains.

When the first monkey messed up the game by pressing the wrong button, a group of cells in the second monkey's brain fired. But if the second monkey also made the wrong choice during its turn, some of the cells in that group didn't respond. Those unresponsive cells reacted specifically to mistakes made by others, not to the monkey's own mistakes.

Scientists believe other parts of the brain also might help people process information about another's errors. "You start to think about this other person and see things from his angle. " Ellen de Bruijn, told Science News. She studies the brain at the University of Leiden in the Netherlands.

【1】 According to Paragraph 1 , animals' ability to learn from others' mistakes ______.

A. used to be ignored by humans

B. ensures that they will never fail

C. is being lost because of humans

D. helps them to survive better

【2】The underlined word "detecting" in Paragraph 2 probably means "______".

A. correcting B. making

C. sensing D. drawing

【3】 In the experiment mentioned, those unresponsive cells are only sensitive to ______.

A. the same buttons B. others' mistakes

C. one's own mistakes D. the monkey's brain

【题目】One of the common complaints we hear from the people around us are problems they are facing. Every day and everywhere there are problems. Many times we find it hard to stay happy. When one problem is solved, another one comes up. How to solve them? The answer is that we must equip ourselves to deal with different kinds of worries by learning the three basic steps of problem analysis. The three steps are:

Get the facts

Why is it so important to get the facts? Unless you have the facts, you can’t possibly attempt to solve your problem intelligently. Without the facts, all you can do is wondering around in confusion. It is not an easy job to get facts. When you are worried, your emotions are riding high. 【1】 .

When trying to get the facts, you can pretend that you are collecting this information not for yourself but for some other person. 2 You can also pretend that you are a lawyer preparing to agree. Try to get all the facts both on your side and the other side of the case. You will generally find the truth lies somewhere in between.

3

Whenever you are worried, write down the questions that make you worry. And write out all the various steps you could take and then the probable consequences of each step. For example, what am I worrying about? What can I do about it? Here is what I’m going to do about it. After carefully weighing all the facts, you can calmly come to a decision.

Act on that decision.

4 How can you break the worry habit before it breaks you? Crowd worry out of your mind by keeping busy. Plenty of action is one of the best ways to cure worry. 5 If you know a situation is beyond your power, say to yourself: “It is so; it can’t be otherwise.” Don’t permit little things to ruin your happiness. Try to cultivate a mental attitude that will bring you peace and happiness.

A. Analyze the facts.

B. Accept what can’t be avoided.

C. Decide how much anxiety a thing may be worth.

D. This will help you to take a cold and fair view of the evidence.

E. There comes a time when you must decide and never look back.

F. But here are two ideas that can help you see the facts in a clear and objective way.

G. Unless you take your action, all your face-finding and analysis is a sheer waste of energy.
