第一节（共15小题；每小题2分，满分30分）
阅读下列短文，从每题所给的四个选项（A、B、C和D）中，选出最佳选项。
A
When I was six, my mother placed me in a boarding home. For the next nine years, I never slept in a room that contained less than 30 other kids in it. So, when I was promoted to senior at the high school for my final year there, I had the greatest pleasure of rooming with just one other classmate, and the added feature of a semi-private bathroom.
We seniors also had the feature of walking around the campus in special hats, we called senior bonnets. So all the other kids would know we were the highest in the high school. As seniors, we frequently went on field trips outside the campus, including city museums, city hall, colleges and theatres. The highlight was a senior class trip to Washington, D.C., where we sat in on a session of Congress, visited the monument and many other government sites around the city.
Another benefit of being seniors was that many of us on athletic and other extra-curricular teams were elected to high ranking for the year. I had the honor and pleasure of being chosen captain of our state championship swim team, while my roommate was voted president of the drama club.
Graduation services were on a sunny day in June. Each of us had looked forward to this moment for ten years. Now we were going out on our own to complete freedom, and we should have been flooded with joy. However, to my surprise, I found myself crying, something I hadn’t done for years. I noticed many of my classmates usually proud of their macho guy(大男子气概) attitudes, were also wiping away tears. We knew we would never be together again as we were on that graduation day. Our senior year ended with deep feelings of sadness for our loss, as well as joy for our emerging into a new world beyond the school campus.
21. What made the auth ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )or feel most pleasant after becoming a senior for his last year
He needn’t study in a boarding home from then on.
There would be at least 30 classmates in his class.
His best friend would share a room with him.
He would share a room with only one classmate.
22. Why did t ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )he author and his classmates wear senior bonnets at campus
A. He could prove that they were from rich families.
B. They would be respected by the girls in his class.
C. Students of the lower grades would know their grades.
D. They would look fashionable and attractive.
23. According to the author, what was the best activity for the seniors
A. Walking around the campus in special hats
B. Making a senior class trip to Washington, D.C.
C. Going on field trips outside the campus
D. Joining athletic and other extra-curricular teams
24. The auth ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )or and his classmates can’t help crying at graduation services as .
A. their parents ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com ) had marriage problems and were faced with divorce then
B. they were not admitted to their dreaming universities
C. he would say goo ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )dbye to his school and he would face new challenges
D. the headmaster gave a moving speech at the meeting
B
Teenage life is q ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )uite dramatic but that doesn’t mean you cannot enjoy your life in these years. Even with your daily troubles, your life is not very hard if you know how to deal with them.
I know exactly how y ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )ou feel. Life as a teenager can be hard. You are not a kid anymore, because you are smart enough to observe and analyze your surroundings. However, you are still not an adult because there are still lots of experiences that you need to have and lessons that you need to learn from these experiences. To top it all, the hormonal(激素的) imbalance in your body can really mess you up emotionally. I have been there. I was in it for 6 years exploring what life is about.
As a teenager, I h ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )ad a major problem with completing my chores(日常事务) on time. And at that time, all that I need to do was finish my assignments, study for the upcoming test and clean my room. Now, I have lots of things to do: cooking, cleaning and working while striking a balance between all my relationships related to work, family and friends. That really is a lot of work. So, I will just give you one golden tip, quoting from Benjamin Franklin, “Never leave that till tomorrow which you can do today.”
Life becomes much e ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )asier because I finish all my work on time and I have enough time to let my hair down. Half the problems as a teenager are because we hate doing things. We’d rather go and have fun than sit down and take care of our duties and responsibilities. That is why you have so much trouble in your life; your parents won’t let you go out with friends because you didn’t clean your room or your professor is always criticizing you because you haven’t finished your assignments.
25. Whom is the text intended for
A. Parents B. Teachers C. Teenagers D. Scientists
26. What do we know from Paragraph 2
A. The author also experienced hard times in his teens.
B. The author had strong hormones in his body.
C. The author thinks teenagers have lots of experiences.
D. The hormonal imbalance has no influence on teenagers’ bodies.
27. The author tries to persuade readers mainly by means of ______.
A. quoting famous sayings by famous people
B. setting his own experiences as example
C. listing all of his troubles in his childhood
D. showing the numerous assignments for children
28. The underli ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )ned phrase “let my hair down” in Paragraph 4 means ______.
A. get relaxed B. get success
C. get out of control D. get motivated
C
Scientists think it ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com ) will be possible to record people's dreams and then interpret them, according to a new report.
They claim to have de ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )veloped a system which allows them to record higher level brain activity.
Dr Moran Cerf ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )told the journal Nature: "We would like to read people's dreams."
Previously the only ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com ) way to access people's dreams is for psychologists to ask about them after the event and try to interpret them.
Dr Cerf hopes to ev ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )entually compare people's memories of their dreams with an electronic visualization(影像) of their brain activity.
He told the BBC: "Th ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )ere's no clear answer as to why humans dream. And one of the questions we would like to answer is when do we actually create this dream "
The scientist believes ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com ) his latest research shows that certain neurons(神经元) or individual brain cells are linked with specific objects or concepts.
He found that a pa ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )rticular neuron lit up when a volunteer thought about Marilyn Monroe.
If a database was b ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )uilt up identifying various neurons with concepts, objects and people it would allow them to "read the subject's minds", according to Dr Cerf.
However, Dr Roderick ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com ) Oner, a clinical psychologist and dream expert, said that this kind of visualisation would be of limited help when it came to interpreting the "complex dream narrative".
In addition to ge ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )t a detailed picture of individual neurons subjects had to have electrodes implanted(植入电极) deep in the brain using surgery.
The Nature researc ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )hers used data from patients who had electrodes implanted to monitor and treat them for brain seizures(癫痫).
However, Dr Cerf sa ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )id he hoped that it would be possible at a later stage to monitor people without invasive surgery. He said it would be "wonderful" to be able to read the minds of coma patients who are unable to communicate.
29. According ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )to the passage, psychologists try to interpret people’s dreams______.
A. by recording higher level brain activity
B. by compari ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )ng people’s memories of their dreams with an electronic visualization
C. by asking about people after their dreams
D. by linking certain neurons with specific objects or concept
30. What the best title for this passage
A. Scientists plan to record people’s dreams
B. Psychologists try to ask people about their dreams
C. Dream experts want to interpret the complex dream narrative
D. The Nature researc ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )hers intend to treat patients for brain seizures
31. According to Dr Ce ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )rf’s research, when a patient thinks about a famous film star, ______.
A. various neurons will identify the star as famous
B. a particular neuron will become bright with excitement
C. the star will appear in his brain
D. the star’s face will light up
32. The underlined wor ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )d “coma” in the last paragraph most probably means. ______.
A. the lost of the ability to hear
B. being unable to control one’s movements
C. the state of being unconscious (无意识的)
D. being unable to move
D
When visiting ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )New York City with your kids，there are many things to do with kids that will entertain their spirits and feed their minds.
The Whispering Gallery
Make your way to the Whispering Gallery. The Whispering Room's architecture allows for a phenomenon that usually makes people laugh. Once inside the gallery，place one person facing the corner at one end of the room and then place another person facing the corner at the opposite end. Ask one of the participants to whisper a phrase or a quick sentence or two and the person on the opposite end will be able to hear every word that was said.
