18．Ever tried taking smart drugs（药） to perform better in exams？They certainly work．Before last summer's exam，a few of my classmates，only out of curiosity，took a large amount of Modafinil，a drug normally used for narcolepsy（嗜眠发作症）．Guess what？While I was feeling sleepy，bored by homework，my classmates were more focused．
Modafinil is a smart drug that gives a user a feeling of staying awake for hours．It also sharpens the mind，improves memory and helps problem-solving．
But it does more than just keeping you awake．It disturbs your mental（神经的） system，making you do what you are doing with all efforts．You just don't want to do anything else but do homework all the time non-stop．
A recent study discovers that healthy people use smart drugs，like Modafinil，to get down to and complete tasks they have been putting off，because these tasks seem more enjoyable when taking these drugs．This might sound like what a stressed（有压力的） student wants．However，the pills have some side-effects．
"At present no evidence shows that these drugs are safe in healthy people，"as a medical expert puts it，"Ordering online，though easy，is a dangerous way to get drugs．You never know what you're actually buying．"
In my experience，Modafinil changes people's behaviour too．Over those weeks my friends became different people-in turn strange，cold．Even eating became"a waste of time"and so did conversation．
A survey found that of those who had tried smart drugs before，92% would do so again．My friends say they'd happily do so without considering the practice a form of cheating．
I admit I was curious-but not enough to try it．Seeing the strange behaviour of other users，I feel a little bit upset and frightened．Modafinil may promise to change your grades，but it might also change the way you act．Don't say you haven't been warned!
66．According to the author，his classmates took Modafinil for the purpose ofB．
A．escaping from reality

19．Each Indian tribe（部落） had a different language．Many Indians never learned any language except their own．Do you know how Indians from different tribes talked to each other？They had two ways to talk without sound．One way was by sign language；the other way by signals．
Sign language is a way of talking by using signs．Indians used sign language when they met strangers．In this way，they could find out whether the stranger was a friend or an enemy．In the Indian sign language，signs were made with the hands．One sign meant"man"．Another meant"horse"．To tell the time of day when something happened，an Indian pointed to the sky．He showed where the sun had been at the time．
Indians usually used signals when they wanted to send messages to someone far away．To make signals，an Indian might use a pony．He might use a blanket．Or he might use smoke，a mirror or fire arrows．
To signal that he had seen many animals，an Indian rode his pony in a large circle．Sometimes the Indian gave a signal like this and then went away to hide．This meant that there was danger．
The blanket signal was visible from far away．An Indian held the corners of a blanket in his hands．Then he began to swing the blanket from side to side in front of him．An Indian could send many different signals with his blanket．
He could also send many signals with a mirror．He usually used the mirror to warn someone of danger．Or he attempted to get the attention of a person far away．But he also used it to send messages in code．Of course，mirrors could be used only when the sun was shining．At night，Indians used fire arrows for signaling．
An Indian also sent signals with smoke．He made a small fire．Then he put grass or green branches on it．He held a blanket over the fire for a minute．When he removed the blanket from the fire，there was a cloud of smoke．The number of clouds of smoke told his message in code．
Now you can see that Indians didn't need to learn each other's language．They could talk to one another by using signals or sign language．
54．From the passage we can infer thatB．
A．Indian language was difficult to learn，so many Indians never learned it
B．among the Indian tribes there was no common spoken language
C．many Indians couldn't communicate with each other
D．Indians talked with each other only in two ways---sign and signal language
55．Which of the following statements is TRUE according to the passage？A
A．One or two clouds of smoke sent different message．
B．In Indian sign language，"man''meant friend and"horse"meant enemy．
C．If an Indian rode his pony in a large circle，it meant there was danger．
D．Signals with smoke could be used to send messages at night．
56．What is the best title of this passage？D
A．Indians'way of life     B．Each Indian tribe had its own language
C．How to use signals and sign language    D．Talking without sound．
16．Grown-ups are often surprised by how well they remember something they learned as children but have never practiced ever since．A man who has not had a chance to go swimming for years can still swim as well as ever when he gets back in the water．He can get on a bicycle after many years and still ride away．He can play，catch and hit a ball as well as his son．A mother who has not thought about the words for years can teach her daughter the poem that begins"Twinkle，twinkle，little star"or remember the story of Cinderella or Goldilocks and the Three Bears．
   One explanation is the law of overlearning，which can be stated as follows：Once we have learned something，additional（额外的） learning trials（尝试）increase the length（长度） of time we will remember it．
   In childhood we usually continue to practice such skills as swimming，bicycle riding，and playing baseball long after we have learned them．We continue to listen to and remind ourselves of words such as"Twinkle，twinkle，little star"and childhood tales such as Cinderella and Goldilocks．We not only learn but overlearn．
  The multiplication tables（乘法口诀表）are an exception（例外） to the general rule that we forget rather quickly the things that we learn in school，because they are another of the things we overlearn in childhood．
   The law of overlearning explains why cramming（突击学习）for an examination，though it may result in a passing grade，is not a satisfactory way to learn a college course．By cramming，a student may learn the subject well enough to get by on the examination，but he is likely soon to forget almost everything he learned．A little overlearning，on the other hand，is really necessary for one's future development．
32．What is the main idea of paragraph I？C
A．Poem reading is a good way to learn words．
B．Children have a better memory than grown-ups．
C．People remember well what they learned in childhood．
D．Stories for children arc easy to remember．
33．The author explains the law of overlearning byD．
A．presenting research findings             
B．using examples
C．making a comparison                  
D．setting down general rules
34．What does the word"they"in Paragraph 4 refer to？A
A．The multiplication tables．
B．Commonly accepted rules．
C．Things easily forgotten．
D．School subjects．
35．What is the author's opinion on cramming？C
A．It leads to failure in college exams．
B．It's possible to result in poor memory．
C．It's helpful only in a limited way．
D．It increases students'learning interest．
3．WHEN there are some strangers in front of us，which of them will we trust？
According to a new study in the online PloS One （《公共科学图书馆•综合》），people make their decisions to trust others largely based on their faces．Your appearance can do a lot for you，especially if you are in the financial industry．The more trustworthy you look，the more likely people will buy what you're selling．
Researchers from Britain's University of Warwick Business School，University College London，and Dartmouth College，US，did a number of experiments．
The research team used computer software to make 40faces，from the least to the most trustworthy-looking．
The study said that the difference between a trustworthy face and one that isn't as trustworthy comes from features that look slightly angry or slightly happy，even when the face is at rest．However，a slightly happy face is more likely to be trusted．
Researchers gave participants some money and asked them which face they trusted to invest the money for them．Then researchers gave some good and bad information about the people with these faces，and asked the participants again whom they trusted．
The results showed that even if they got different information，the participants didn't change their choices．They were still more likely to invest their money with the more trustworthy-looking faces．
Chris Olivola，one of the study's authors，said in the University of Warwick's press release："It seems we are still willing to go with our own instincts （本能） about whether we think someone looks like we can trust them．The temptation （诱惑） to judge strangers by their faces is hard to resist．"

36．Which of the following can be a proper title for this passage？A
A．What kind of face do you trust？
B．Who did the experiments？
C．Why do you trust him or her？
D．Why did they do the experiments？
37．According to the study，which of the following faces is most likely to be trusted？B
A．A sad face．         B．A smiling face．
C．A crying face．      D．An angry face．
38．Which of the following about the experiment is TRUE？C
A．The trustworthy faces were given good information．
B．Researchers took photos of the 40people's faces in college．
C．Most participants gave their money to the trustworthy-looking faces．
D．Participants liked to choose the faces with good information．
39．What did the researchers learn from their experiment？C
A．People can't refuse temptations．
B．People always do things with their instincts．
C．People often judge strangers by their faces．
D．People don't trust strangers with sad faces．
13．In our discussion with people on how education can help them succeed in life，a woman remembered the first meeting of an introductory（41）C course about 20years ago．
The professor（42）Dthe lecture hall，placed upon his desk a large jar filled with dried beans（豆），and invited the students to（43）Bhow many beans the jar contained．After （44）Dshouts of wildly wrong guesses the professor smiled a thin，dry smile，announced the（45）Canswer，and went on saying，"You have just （46）A an important lesson about science．That is：Never（47）Byour own senses．"
Twenty years later，the （48）D could guess what the professor had in mind．He（49）Chimself，perhaps，as inviting his students to start an exciting （50）Ainto an unknown world invisible（无形的） to the（51）B，which can be discovered only through scientific（52）D．But the seventeen-year-old girl could not accept or even（53）Athe invitation．She was just （54）B to understand the world．And she （55）A that her firsthand experience could be the （56）D．The professor，however，said that it was （57）C．He was taking away her only（58）Bfor knowing and was providing her with no substitute．"I remember feeling small and（59）C，"the woman says，"and I did the only thing I could do．I （60）Athe course that afternoon，and I haven't gone near science since．"

20．I have always been an independent person，but I have come to know that  being  independent  does  not mean refusing help．I may still be （41）D with asking for help，but I try to accept．Furthermore，I will even（42）A help and when my kindness are refused，I am（43）D willing to walk away．And all these changes came from a disaster on an island．
Sometimes a person's independence is a （44）B of pride，daring，stubbornness and luck．I used to be too（45）C since I was little．I was once a traveler who never asked for （46）C，choosing instead to struggle with maps and signs until I found my way．
Then one day on the island of Koh Phangan，in Thailand，everything（47）A．I was swimming in the ocean with Sean，my fiancé，when he was（48）D by a box jellyfish（箱形水母）．He （49）B within three minutes，25years old．Yet when onlookers and travelers asked if I wanted （50）A，stubborn pride and force of habit （51）B me accepting．But two young Israeli women stayed．（52）A my protest，they were with me even when the police tried to cover up the （53）B of Sean's death．It was listed as drunk drowning to avoid hurting the（54）D industry．The Israeli women （55）C have walked away．（56）C，without even telling me，they （57）A their schedule rather than leave me behind．
（58）B I didn't realize it at the time，I now believe I would not have（59）C the disaster without these great women．Actually，the person who needs help the most is usually the last person to ask for it．I have learned（60）D is better than refusing because it not only helps you walk out of trouble，but also helps you know the real meaning of life．

3．What will people die of 100years from now？If you think that is a simple question，you have not been paying attention to the revolution that is taking place in biotechnology（生物科技）．With the help of new medicine，the human body will last a very long time．Death will come mainly from accidents，murder and war．Today's leading killers，such as heart disease，cancer，and aging itself，will become distant memories．
In discussion of technological changes，the Internet gets most of the attention these days．But the change in medicine can be the real technological event of our times．How long can humans live？Human brains were known to decide the final death．Cells are the basic units of all living things，and until recently，scientists were sure that the life of cells could not go much beyond 120years because the basic materials of cells，such as those of brain cells，would not last forever．But the upper limits will be broken by new medicine．Sometime between 2050and 2100，medicine will have advanced to the point at which every 10years or so，people will be able to take medicine to repair their organs．The medicine，made up of the basic building materials of life，will build new brain cells，heart cells，and so on-in much the same way our bodies make new skin cells to take the place of old ones．
It is exciting to imagine that the advance in technology may be changing the most basic condition of human existence，but many technical problems still must be cleared up on the way to this wonderful future．
32．According to the passage，human death is now mainly caused byA
A．diseases and aging            B．accidents and war
C．accidents and aging           D．heart disease and war
33．In the author's opinion，today's most important advance in technology lies inB．
A．the Internet            
B．medicine
C．brain cells
D．human organs
34．Humans may live longer in the future becauseD．
A．heart disease will be far away from us
B．human brains can decide the final death
C．the basic materials of cells will last forever
D．human organs can be repaired by new medicine
35．How long can humans live in the future according to the passage？D
A．Over 100years．
B．About 150years．
C．More than 120years．
D．The passage doesn't tell us．
4．Would it surprise you to learn that，like animals，trees communicate with each other and pass on their wealth to the next generation？
UBC Professor Simard explains how trees are much more complex than most of us ever imagined．Although Charles Darwin thought that trees are competing for survival of the fittest，Simard shows just how wrong he was．In fact，the opposite is true：trees survive through their co-operation and support，passing around necessary nutrition"depending on who needs it"．
Nitrogen（氮） and carbon are shared through miles of underground fungi（真菌） networks，making sure that all trees in the forest ecological system give and receive just the right amount to keep them all healthy．This hidden system works in a very similar way to the networks of neurons（神经元）in our brains，and when one tree is destroyed，it affects all．
Simard talks about"mother trees"，usually the largest and oldest plants on which all other trees depend．She explains how dying trees pass on the wealth to the next generation，transporting important minerals to young trees so they may continue to grow．When humans cut down"mother trees"with no awareness of these highly complex"tree societies"or the networks on which they feed，we are reducing the chances of survival for the entire forest．
"We didn't take any notice of it．"Simard says sadly．"Dying trees move nutrition into the young trees before dying，but we never give them chance．"If we could put across the message to the forestry industry，we could make a huge difference towards our environmental protection efforts for the future．

64．What would be the best title for the passage？D
A．Old Trees Communicate Like Humans
B．Young Trees Are In Need Of Protection
C．Trees Contribute To Our Society
D．Trees Are More Complex Than You Think
65．In Simard's opinion，treesC
A．compete for survival       B．protect their own wealth
C．depend on each other       D．provide support for dying trees
66．We can learn from the passage thatC．
A．"mother trees"are usually of no use to other trees．
B．Charles Darwin had the same thought as Simard．
C．if"mother trees"are cut down，the survival for the entire forest will be affected．
D．people know much about the complex"tree societies"．
67．The underlined word"it"in the last paragraph refers toA．
A．how"tree societies"work
B．how trees grow old
C．how forestry industry develops
