题组C 培优拔尖练
阅读下面短文:客观题请从每小题所给的A、B、C、D四个选项中选出最佳选项。
You must think a computer is the best thing in the world, right You must think it works at a super speed and can do everything Well, it’s not! In fact, the brain is much more powerful than any super computer! Think about when a glass is just about to fall off the table. Your brain controls everything that you need to do to save that glass from falling. First your eyes check out what’s going on, then tell your brain, and your brain decides how quickly you need to react(反应), and then your muscles(肌肉) go into action. That is just from your brain. No computer could ever come close to that!
The brain weighs just 3 pounds, but it controls everything you do from thinking, learning, feeling even to breathing and your heart beating. Even though the brain is just 2% of your body weight, it uses around 20% of all your energy in your body. That is a lot for such a small organ(器官). There are about 100 billion tiny, tiny little cells(细胞) in your brain. There are so many that it would take you over 3,000 years to count them all!
Your brain stops growing when you’re 18, but it actually keeps on developing and learning new things. So your parents are really super smart! You won’t be able to fool them! Believe it or not, your brain NEVER stops working. Even during sleeping, the brain works for long-term memory establishment(建立). It is realized that the brain is the second organ in the body like the heart that never stops during human lives.
So everyone should be proud of such a gift of nature.
1.In Paragraph 1, the writer wants to tell us .
A.eyes and muscles react quickly

3.【答案】D
【解析】细节理解题。由第三段Believe it or not...establishment 可知A选项是错误的。由第三段最后一句可知心脏也不停止工作,所以B选项是不正确的。由第三段第一句可知C选项是不正确的。由第三段第一句可知D选项是正确的。故答案选择D。
4.【答案】A
