I'm sure a visit to all these places will make your kids feel smarter.

First it was jogging. Then aerobics (有氧运动). Not too long ago, Americans discovered race walking.
Now Americans are into a new fitness craze. They’re taking up bicycling. Over hills and down mountainsides and across quiet country roads, Americans are busily rolling along.
The number of adults who ride for fitness is around 17 million, an increase of 70 percent over four years ago. Twice as many women as men are coming to the sport. Americans are falling in love with biking because it has speed, the benefits of jogging and beautiful scenery.
Bicycling is a very appropriate sport, which is important to people who injured their knees while jogging or whose joints are aching from aerobics. And biking is a real awakening for people who have been into race walking in the past. Race walking is as dull as watching paint dry.
The most popular kind of bicycle for people who are new to the sport is the mountain bike, which has a fixed frame with wide tires and upright handles.
Mountain bikes also have many gears (齿轮) to make it easier to climb hills. About 5 million Americans ride mountain bikes, compared with 200, 000 who rode them only five years ago.
Costs range from about $130 for a bottom-of-the-line bicycle to more than $2,700 for an expensive bicycle.
Mountain biking has attracted some people who race down the sides of mountains like a bat out of hell. But most riders ride slowly and they rarely venture far from home.
The biking craze has brought an unexpected profit (盈利) to clothing and bicycle accessory (附属品) makers. Last year, bikers paid $630 million for biking clothes and accessories.
Bicycling seems likely to continue its fantastic growth.
24．Why is race walking as dull as watching paint dry
A．Race walking is a slow-moving sport.
B．The number of adults who ride for fitness has grown 70 percent in four years.
C．It has speed, the benefits of jogging and beautiful scenery.
D．Americans are taking up bicycling.
25．Whom has the bicycling craze been a profit for
A．People who want to ride like a bat out of hell.
B．Bicycle accessory makers.
C．Race walkers.
D．Twice as many women as men.
26．What does the underlined word “bottom-of-the-line” mean
A．poor B．modern C．old D．cheapest
27．What is the main idea of the article
A．Riding a bicycle is one of the most dangerous sports in America.
B．Americans are rolling along.
C．Bicycling is the latest fitness craze to hit America.
D．Most people in America want to own a hand-made bicycle that can cost more than $2,700.
C
Do women and men think differently
When talking about the two sexes, people often say that men are from Mars and women are from Venus. Undeniably, men and women have great differences in many ways.
However, these contrasts in character could all be down to supposed differences between the male and female brain. For example, a study led by British psychologist Stuart Ritchie in 2012 found that men’s brains are on average 10 percent bigger than women’s.
And another study led by Israeli psychologist Daphna Joel at Tel Aviv University in 2015 further claimed that differences exist in male and female brains, although each individual's brain has a “mix of features”, as New Scientist wrote. But Lise Eliot, a professor of neuroscience at the Chicago Medical School, begs to differ. She recently said that the brain “is a unisexorgan(单一性别器官)”. Through analyzing brain data of several different men and women, Eliot found that the statistics about brain differences mean nothing. According to her findings, male and female brains are much more different from each other than male or female hearts or kidneys. And more importantly, these differences don’t show that male and female brains work differently.
So, if it’s not in the brain, what makes males and females behave differently The answer may lie in socialization, according to The Atlantic.
In the past, many gender (性别) studies ignored the effects of a person's social background and upbringing, instead relying on other data. Take former Harvard University president Lawrence Summers for example. He used a 1970 study that showed men outperformed women 13-to-one on the math part of the SAT to argue that males are more suited to science subjects.
However, another study found that if females were given better opportunities to study science subjects, the ratio would drop to three-to-one.
Eliot's study contributed in an important way to the conversation, neuropharmacologist Margaret McCarthy at the University of Maryland School of Medicine in Baltimore, US, told Science magazine.
Yet, at the same time, McCarthy believes that classing males and females as essentially the same is going too far.
Why were Ritchie and Joel's studies mentioned in the article
A. To explain the causes of behavioral differences in men and women.
B. To show how men and women differ in character.
C. To explain the differences between male and female brains.
D. To explore the features of male and female brains.
What did Eliot's study find
A. Male and female brains are exactly the same.
B. Male and female brains do not differ in function.
C. Brain data is not useful for conducting gender studies.
D. Male and female brains have fewer differences than other organs.
What causes the differences in behavior between men and women, according to The Atlantic
A. Brain size. B. Intelligence.
C. Social environment. D. Learning ability.
31. Which statement would McCarthy probably agree with
A. It's important to give equal opportunities to men and women.
B. It's unnecessary to study the differences between men's and women's brains.
C. Eliot's study offers a good explanation for gender differences.
D. Male brains are better at solving science problems.
D
Shortcut to hard work
For those of us who sat through endless piano lessons as children, or spent summers learning a foreign language while our friends played outside, we probably never thanked our parents for those experiences.
However, we weren’t just put through endless extra-curricular (课外的) activities just so our elders could enjoy some free time. In fact, the best time to learn sound-based skills such as languages or music is at a young age. As the brain is still developing, it’s the perfect time to take in certain information.
But thanks to a new discovery by researchers at St Jude Children’s Research Hospital in Memphis, US, adults may also be able to learn a new sound-based skill just as well as younger people can.
Using mice as test patients, the researchers found that the adult brain of both mice and humans—produces high levels of adenosine (腺甘酸), a chemical that slows down the ability to learn from sound. In younger brains, adenosine levels are much lower.
After finding a way to stop the brain from producing as much adenosine, the mice became more aware of sounds and were able to tell the difference between different notes played to them. This ability was previously unknown of in mice.
The researchers believe that if a drug is developed to slow down adenosine production in adult humans, it will unlock the ability to learn sound-based skills easier.
“These results offer a promising strategy to extend the same window in humans to acquire language or musical ability,” co-author Stanislav Zakharenko wrote in the study.
It’s also believed that the findings could help people with serious medical conditions such as tinnitus (耳鸣), or those who have suffered a stroke (中风).
If the researchers eventually go on to develop the drug, however, this probably won’t mean that we could become masters of the violin or speak fluent Italian after taking a few pills.
Like everything in life worth doing, time, patience and hard work will probably still be needed if we want to take on a new sound-based skill.
32．What is the main purpose of the first two paragraphs
A．To lead up to the new discovery by scientists.
B．To describe the unpleasantness of learning sound-based skills.
C．To explain the need to learn sound-based skills at a young age.
D．To prove that it’s never easy to pick up a sound-based skill.
33．The researchers discovered from their studies that a high level of adenosine ________.
A．usually exists in younger brains
B．made mice more sensitive to sounds
C．helped mice improve the ability to learn from sound
D．stopped mice developing sound-based abilities easily
34．According to the text, the findings could help ________.
A．children learn language more easily
B．adults develop musical skills better
C．people with tinnitus recover completely
D．protect people against a stroke
35．What message does the author intend to convey in the last two paragraphs
A．He is pessimistic about the drug being developed.
B．Everything worth doing deserves to be done well.
C．He is hopeful that the new drug will make it easy to master new skills.
D．There is no replacement for time and effort when it comes to learning new things.

Learning to Love Locally-Grown Foods
Cooking shows on TV are usually all about foreign foods. Thanks to globalization, people everywhere are introducing their taste buds to dishes from every corner of the world. 36． In the past few years, the number of people purchasing local foods has been rising because it offers a lot of benefits.
For starters, local food is often tastier because it is fresher. Imported goods must be flown or shipped in from far away, so they naturally lose some of their freshness during the journey.37． These materials may cause the nutritional value of these goods to decline during the shipping process. Food safety is another reason why people are choosing local produce. Today’s laws regarding foods vary from country to country.38． But when you know the local farmer who grows your food, the chances of it being polluted are greatly reduced.
Buying local foods can also have a beneficial impact on the environment. Buying local, consumers can maintain green space and farmland in their communities. Besides, if farmers can sell directly to consumers, they will earn more money for their families. Additional profits also enable farmers to better care for their soil and keep quality standards high.39．
40． This is an open area where farmers sell fruits, vegetables, and meat directly to the public. Once you experience the freshness of local foods for yourself, it might be tough to go back to the supermarket.
A．In the end, it’s a win-win situation for both parties.
B．However, some disagree with the idea of importing foreign foods.
C．To conclude, the farmers can make money and improve their life.
D．This causes confusion and makes it difficult to check if any harmful chemicals were used.
E.At the same time, other people are discovering that food from their area is the best.
F.If you’re interested in having more local foods, you can even attend a farmers’ market.
G.Imported goods must also be packaged in plastic or other containers to survive the journey.

Nowadays we can still see some behaviors against public morals. As was often the case, people tend to talk loud in public places annoyed others around. Spitting and littering rubbish can be seen anywhere. Besides, it’s common that the young or middle-aged sit on the bus when the elderly have to stand. Measure must be taken to change this situation. First of all, as students, we should manage our own behaviors but help people around you form good habits. Meanwhile, it is necessary for the government and some organizations to encourage people to behave proper. Don’t undervalue the role we can play with. Do remember we can make difference.

第二节 书面表达
【参考范文】
Dear Miss Evans,
How are you I’m writing to invite you to come and help us about the volunteering work.
To begin with, as volunteers, we ought to possess the ability to speak English fluently and naturally. To be honest, I have some problems to communicate with foreign students in English, so there is no doubt that you could give us a lot of help. What’s more, you can also share your experience about being a volunteer. Eventually, I would like you to convey the meaning of volunteering work, because we have little idea about the work.
I sincerely hope you could accept my invitation.
Looking forward to your early reply.
Yours,
Li Hua
