11、e fictional character in a novel is and youll likely get a detailed explanation about the beloved character that they admire. It might even sound like theyre talking about a person they know.In a study, researchers looked at the brains of a group of people over nine days. Half of the group read the

12、novel Pompeii, and half didnt. After examining, researchers found the readers brains showed heightened connectivity (连通性) in some areas. This is likely because the brain imagines the movement and emotions of the character they read about in the book. Even though the participants were then asked not

13、to read the novel, they kept this heightened connectivity. We call that a “shadow activity”, almost like a muscle memory. So even after youve finished a book, your brain keeps those benefits for some time afterwards.It has been suggested that people who read a lot of fiction become more empathic (移情

14、作用的), because fiction is a simulation (模仿) of social experiences, in which people practice and improve their interpersonal skills. The people who not only read fiction, but felt a high level of “emotional transportation” while reading - as compared to people who werent taken by the story or who read

15、 non-fiction-displayed higher levels of empathy when tested. Increase of empathy is important for people because empathy is positively related to creativity, performance at work and cooperative behaviors.Besides, reading improves “Theory of Mind”. It is “the ability to understand that others have me

16、ntal states that are different from ones own.” Of various activities, reading novels has been found to improve this ability, while watching television programs or movies has been found to do just the opposite - a reduced understanding of others and weaker cognitive (认知的) development overall.Maybe we

17、 should put more of a priority on novel-reading. And many readers believe that reading a novel is far better and more meaningful than watching any movie. As David Kidd of the New School study said, “Fiction is not just a simulator of a social experience; it is a social experience.”1、What is implied

18、in the Paragraph 2?AReading novels is just a waste of time.BReading novels can help people become happy.CReading novels increases connectivity in our brain.DReading novels helps enhance our memory greatly.2、What do we know about novel readers from Paragraph 3?AThey tend to be emotional in social exp

19、eriences.BThey understand the emotions of people better.CThey like to talk about their favorite characters.DThey are more sensitive to everything.3、Whats the effect of watching TV or movies?AIt distinguishes your views from those of others.BIt contributes to your cognitive development.CIt reduces yo

20、ur empathy for others a lot.DIt changes your overall mental states.4、What does the underlined word “priority” in the last paragraph mean?APreference.BAuthority.CExposure.DEvaluation.22（8分）A womans home is her castle.She cleans,cooks,decorates,repairs,works,plays and relaxes within the walls of her h

21、ome.Sometimes women choose to stay at home to raise their children instead of working outside of the home. So you think she must be bored.I was one of those women.After finally getting pregnant,and giving birth,I found my home to be the best place.During the nine months I carried my daughter,my body

22、 had been broken and back.Being able to relax was just what my weak body needed. Besides,nursing was a rest because I was unhurried and very comfortable.Staying at home certainly cured my broken body.Watching other families grow one child after the next was a horrible dream,when I didnt think I woul

23、d ever be able to have my own child.But after having Alyssa,my own cute little baby girl,I was able to let my heart recover from the wounds.I watched and I valued every small change of her body and personality.Nothing was more exciting than time spent with my child.I loved to stay at home.Mentally I

24、 remained challenged with new opportunities every day.I learned to be perfect and organized. Everything worked like a clock.By 9:00 in the morning,the house was cleanbeds made,bathrooms cleaned,house cleaned,and windows cleaned.I enjoyed finishing them quickly so that I could devote most of the day

25、to my daughter. Between nursing,short breaks and staring at her,I thought of ways to improve my home and myself.Even with all the housework,every day was filled with so much fun!1、Why did the author say home is the best place in Paragraph 2?AShe could carry her baby for nine months.BShe could know h

26、er baby better.CShe could have a good rest to cure her weak body.DShe could make friends with others.2、Why did the author enjoy staying at home?ABecause she had a beloved husband.BBecause she could heal the wounds physically and mentally.CBecause her daughter had some kind of rare disease.DBecause s

28、ing the housework.4、What is the best title for the passage?AMy experience as a mother.BHow can I deal with my body and my housework?CHow can a stay-at-home mother be bored?DStay at home.23（8分） A study showed that the experiences children have in their first few years are important. These experiences

29、 affect the development of the brain. When children receive more attention, they often have higher IQs. Babies receive information when they see, hear and feel things, which makes connections between different parts of the brain. There are a hundred trillion(万亿) connections in the brain of a three-y

30、ear-old child.Researcher Judit Gervain tested how good newborns are at distinguishing different sound patterns. Her researchers produced images of the brains of babies as they heard different sound patterns. For example, one order was mu-ba-ba. This is the pattern A-B-B. Another order was mu-ba-ge.

31、This is the pattern “A-B-C”. The images showed that the part of the brain responsible for speech was more active during the A-B-B pattern. This shows that babies can tell the difference between different patterns. They also were sensitive to where it occurred in the order.Gervain is excited by these

32、 findings because the order of sounds is the building block of words and grammar. Position is key to language, she says. If something is at the beginning or at the end, it makes a big difference: John caught the bear. is very different from The bear caught John.”Researchers led by scientist Patricia

33、 Kuhl have found that language delivered by televisions, audio books, the Internet, or smartphonesno matter how educationaldoesnt appear to be enough for childrens brain development. They carried out a study of nine-month-old American babies. They expected the first group whod watched videos in Chin

34、ese to show the same kind of learning as the second group who were brought face-to-face with the same sounds. Instead they found a huge difference. The babies in the second group were able to distinguish between similar Chinese sounds as well as native listeners. But the other babiesregardless of wh

35、ether they had watched the video or listened to the audiolearned nothing.1、What makes connections in a babys brain?AHaving a higher IQ.BExperiencing new informationCThe baby early ageDThe connection with other babies2、What did Judit Gervain and her team find in the experiment?ABabies identify differ

38、s brain development.24（8分） The popular wisdom for years has been that drinking in moderation (适度)thats one “standard” drink a day for women and two for men-is linked to a lower risk of cardiovascular (心血管的) disease. But recent studies are casting some doubt on that long-held learning. Science now sa

39、ys it depends on your age and drinking habits.A 2017 study of nearly 2 million British with no cardiovascular risk found that there was still a modest benefit in moderate drinking, especially for women over 55 who drank five drinks a week. Why that age? Alcohol can influence the substance in the blo

40、od in positive ways, experts say, and thats about the age when heart problems begin to occur.Also, a 2018 study found that drinking more than 100 grams of alcohol per weekequal to roughly seven standard drinks in the United States or five to six glasses of wine in the UKincreases your risk of death

41、from all causes and in turn lowers your life expectancy. Links were found with different forms of cardiovascular disease, with people who drank more than 100 grams per week having a higher risk of stroke, heart failure.Another 2018 study found that consistently drinking a moderate amount of alcohol,

42、 within recommended guidelines, had a protective effect on the heart over time. Unstable drinking habits were associated with a higher risk of heart disease, which the authors reflected might indicate broader lifestyle changes, such as poor health or stress. Former drinkers were also at greater risk

43、.Overall, however, the latest thinking is that any heart benefit may be outweighed by other health risks, such as high blood pressure, certain cancers and liver damage.Women who drink are at a higher risk for breast cancer; alcohol contributes about 6% of the overall risk, possibly because it raises

44、 certain dangerous hormones in the blood. Drinking can also increase the chance you might develop liver, mouth and oral cancers. One potential reason: Alcohol weakens our immune systems, making us more likely to inflame (发炎)a driving force behind cancer.1、Why does moderate drinking benefit women ove

45、r 55?AIt helps them live longer than men.BIt reduces the chance of some heart problems.CIt destroys the harmful chemicals in their blood.DIt helps them recover from cardiovascular disease.2、What can we learn from paragraph 3?ADrinking more than 10 grams of alcohol per week is surely harmful.BSolid l

46、inks were found between the disease and the amount of alcohol.CThe lifespan varies according to amount of consumed alcohol.DSeven standard drinks are the recommended amount of drinking in the UK.3、Who will be at a lower risk according to the 2018 study?AConsistent drinkers with lifestyle changes.BUn

47、stable drinkers with lifestyle changes.CConsistent drinkers within recommended amount of alcohol.DUnstable drinkers within recommended amount of alcohol.4、Which can be the best title for the text?AModerate drinking habits benefit the heart.BModerate drinking weakens our immune systems.CModerate drinking can prevent cancer.DModerate drinking does more harm than good to health.25（10分）No eviden
