B B They were a happy family: four daughters all in the same school in different grades. The youngest, Janice, who was in my class, seemed to be glued to her mothers skirts. The three older girls took the bus to school every morning, but Janice was always driven to school by her mother. One Friday, Janices mother asked for a talk with me. She said in a soft voice, “My husband is going to Europe on business for two weeks, and he insists that I go with him. I have tried to explain over and over that Janice needs me here. But he thinks that she will be fine without me so I have no choice; I have to go. I have told the babysitter to drive her every morning. Will you please give Janice special attention and help her?

As a mother myself, Id like to help. Janices mother thanked me for our understanding. On Monday morning, expecting a tearful, anxious child, I planned a special program of fun and games. I waited outside to greet Janice, but just then the bus arrived and not three, but four girls got off. Janice skipped along joyfully, saying “goodbye” to her sisters as she ran with two friends into the classroom. I walked slowly into the classroom and called Janice over to ask how the bus ride went.

C You try to keep your eyes wide open while watching a basketball match or a wonderful firework show in case you might miss something exciting in just the blink (眨眼) of an eye. But in fact, humans blink about 15 times per minute on average. Have you ever missed anything because you blinked? Probably not. Why is that? According to a new study published in the journal Current Biology in September, our brain has the ability to skip the temporary darkness when we blink. It can keep visual information for a short period of time and then put it together to form an image without interruption. In order to understand how this works, a group of scientists at the German Primate Center and the University Medical Center Go.ttingen in Germany conducted an experiment. In the study, the participants were asked to look at patterns on a screen whose direction could be interpreted in different ways, such as horizontally or vertically. When one pattern was about to disappear and the next one was about to come, the participants had to indicate the direction that the next pattern would appear. The researchers found that when the directions of two patterns didnt match, the area in our brain which is responsible for visual memory was activated. This same area showed less activity when two patterns were in the same direction. “The medial prefrontal cortex (前额叶皮层) adjusts current visual information with previously obtained information, and thus enables us to perceive (察觉) the world with more stability, even when we briefly 4 close our eyes to blink,” Caspar Schwiedrzik explained in Science Daily. He is the first author of the study and also a scientist at the German Primate Center. 28. We dont miss anything when blinking because our brain can _. A. deal with the missing imageB. remember all that we see C. imagine what our eyes missD. put our pieces of memory together 29. What does the underlined word “it” in Paragraph 2 refer to? A. Our brain.B. Visual information. C. Current Biology.D. The temporary darkness. 30. What do we know about the experiment? A. The two patterns appear at the same time. B. Visual memory can be more activated by similarity. C. Participants can interpret patterns differently. D. The different directions activated visual memory. 31. What would be the best title for this passage? A. The Brains StructureB. The Brains Activated Patterns C. The Brains Special SkillD. The Brains Orientation D A Swiss airplane powered only by energy from the sun left from Abu Dhabi early on March 9. Its creators hope the plane will make the first around-the-world journey without any fuel. The plane is called Solar Impulse 2. It has one seat and is made from carbon fiber. The plane weighs only as much as a car but its wings are wider than a Boeing 747. The planes wings stretch 72 meters across. Those wings include 17,000 solar units, or cells, which capture the suns energy. The energy allows the plane to fly day and night. Two Swiss scientists built the plane. Bertrand Piccard is also an explorer who made the first non-stop flight around the world in a balloon. Andre Borschberg is an engineer and trained fighter pilot. The scientists say they are not trying to alter the airplane industry. Instead, they want to show that new energy sources and technologies can achieve what some say is impossible. “We want to show we can fly day and night in an aircraft without a drop of fuel.” Mr. Piccard said. Some parts of the trip will require the pilots to be in the tiny plane for five to six days and nights in a row. So it is good that the pilots seat is also a toilet. The planes route begins in the United Arab Emirates. The pilots also plan stops in Oman, India, and China. They will cross the Pacific Ocean, stop in the United States, and continue over southern Europe or North Africa. They plan to arrive back in the United Arab Emirates in late July or early August. Internet viewers can go to the Solar Impulse website to see the planes location and listen to broadcasts from the pilots. 32. Why does the plane have wider wings? A. It can fly faster and land safely.B. It can get the suns energy easily. C. It may look like a Boeing 747.D. It will make the plane appear larger. 33. What does the underlined word “alter” in Para. 2 probably mean? A. Improve.B. change.C. rebuild.D. destroy. 34. What do we know about the trip made in the plane? A. It will take five to six days and nights.B. It is a non-stop flight around the world. C. It is broadcast live on the Internet.D. It doesnt include North America. 35. What does the text mainly talk about? A. A solar-powered plane will travel the globe.B. A good way to save energy has been found. C. A newly-built plane consumes no energy.D. Solar energy waits to be fully explored. 第二节（共第二节（共 5 5 小题，每小题小题，每小题 2.52.5 分，满分，满 12.512.5 分）分） 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。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。 Everyone wants to be happy every day, but sometimes we come across some problems which make us feel bad.
