Why play games? Because they are fun, and a lot more besides. Following the rules, planning your next move and acting as a team member are all “game” ideas that you will come across throughout your life.
Think about some of the games you played as a young child, such as rope-jumping and hide-and-seek. Such games are entertaining and fun. But perhaps more importantly, they translate life into exciting dramas that teach children some of the basic rules they will be expected to follow the rest of their lives, such as taking turns and cooperating .
Many children’s games have a practical side. Children around the world play games that prepare them for work they will do as grown-ups. For instance, some Saudi Arabian children play a game called bones, which sharpens the hand-eye coordination（协调）needed in hunting.
Many sports encourage national or local pride. The most famous games of all, the Olympic Games, bring athletes from around the world together to take part in friendly competition. People who watch the event wave flags, knowing that a gold medal is a win for an entire country, not just the athlete who earned it. For countries experiencing natural disasters or war, an Olympic win can mean so much.
Sports are also an event that unites people. Soccer is the most popular sport in the world. People on all continents play it — some for fun and some for a living. Nicolette Iribarne, a Californian soccer player, has discovered a way to spread hope through soccer. He created a foundation to provide poor children with not only soccer balls but also a promising future.
Next time you play your favorite game or sport, think about why you enjoy it, what skills are needed, and whether these skills will help you in other aspects of your life.
What are children expected to learn Through playing hide-and-seek?
A. Be a team leader B. Obey the basic rules
C. Act as a grown-up D. Predict possible danger
25. What does the underlined part in Paragraph 2 most probably mean ?
A. Games can describe life in an exciting way
B. Games can turn real-life experiences into a play
C. Games can make learning life skills more interesting
D. Games can change people’s views of sporting events
26. According to the passage, why is winning Olympic medals so encouraging?
A. It inspires people’s deep love for the country.
B. It proves the exceptional skills of the winners.
C. It helps the country out of natural disasters.
D. It earns the winners fame and fortune.
27. What’s Iribarne’s goal of forming the foundation ?
A. Bringing fun to poor kids.
B. Providing soccer balls for children.
C. Giving poor kids a chance for a better life.
D. Attracting soccer players to help poor kids.
C
Magic is a form of entertainment that is based on pretending to do things that are impossible. The magician is a specially trained actor. He tries to make the audience believe that he has the power to do things which are against the laws of nature.
Magic shows are entertaining as long as the audience does not discover how the tricks are done. The magician usually depends on his skill with his hands, on his knowledge of psychology, and, sometimes, on mechanical devices (机械装置). Since magic performance is meant to trick people, the use of psychology is important. The magician must keep people from noticing all the movements of his hands and from thinking about the secret parts of his equipment. He must also lead the audience to draw false conclusions. The magician’s success depends on the fact that many things seen by the eye are not the things that matter.
Two basic magic tricks are making objects seem to appear and making objects seem to disappear. A combination of these two tricks makes for some interesting effects. For example, the magician puts a small ball under one of several cups. The ball then seems to jump from one cup to another or to change colour. What actually happens is that the magician, employing quick hand movements or a mechanical device, hides one ball. While doing this he talks to the audience and waves a brightly coloured cloth with one hand. The audience is too busy watching the cloth and listening to the magician’s words to notice that his other hand is hiding the ball.
Another favourite trick is to cut or burn something, and then make it appear whole again. What actually happens is that the magician makes the cut or burned object disappear by quickly hiding it while the audience watches something else. Then he “magically” makes it appear whole again by displaying another object that has not been cut or burned.
28. What is the author’s main purpose in writing the text?
A. To promote a magic show. ????????????????? B. To teach people to be magicians.
C. To explain the art of magic. ??????????????? D. To praise the talents of magicians.
29. Which of the following is important for a successful magic trick?
A. Moving stage equipment.? ???????????????? B. Directing the audience’s attention.
C. Applying high technology. ?????????????????D. Keeping the performance in secret.
30. What does the author focus on in the last two paragraphs?
A. Providing examples. ?????????????????????????? B. Making a summary.
C. Drawing comparisons. ??????????????????????? D. Explaining a concept.
31.?What can we infer from the text?
A. Mechanical devices are expensive. ????? B. Most magicians employ assistants.
C. It takes practice to perform magic. ????? D. Small objects are magicians’ favourite.
D
American billionaire Elon Musk has showed a technology designed to use a computer chip inside the head to control the brain. During a video show on Friday, Musk provided details about the system, called Neuralink.
Musk says he hopes the technology can be used to treat nervous disorders and help the disabled ,especially those with spinal（脊柱的）injuries, regain body movement. Musk also believes the system can be used in the future to improve intelligence to help humans keep up with supercomputers and artificial intelligence technology.
During the show, Musk showed off a model of the Neuralink device. It is about 23 millimeters wide. It is designed to be placed into a person's head. Small wires will connect the device directly to the brain.
The Neuralink system is currently being tested in pigs, with plans to seek government approval for human testing sometime in the future.
A pig named Gertrude was also shown during the show. Musk explained that Gertrude had a Neuralink fixed inside its head. The device is meant to record nerve activity in the pig's nose and mouth. Musk said the company had three pigs, each with two chips. He described the animals as "healthy, happy and impossible to be told apart from a normal pig." Musk said the company was able to forecast with “high accuracy” a pig's leg movement on a running machine using data from the chip.
Musk noted that Neuralink first wants to use the device on people with severe spinal cord injuries to help them talk and move using their brain waves. He said he was hopeful that, in the long term, those people could regain “full-body motion”.
Some neuroscientists said the show suggested Neuralink had made great progress with the technology. However, they warned that many more studies would be needed to test the long-term success of such devices.
32. What good can the Neuralink device do to the disabled?
A. Making them think clearly.
B. Treating their diseases successfully.
C. Having them keep up with supercomputers.
D. Helping them to move again.
33. Which can best describe the pigs with a Neuralink inside their heads?
A. Normal B. Active. C. Nervous. D. Intelligent.
34. What do some neuroscientists think of Neuralink?
A. It has been a great success. B. It will succeed very soon.
C. It has a long way to go D. It needs support from new theories.
35. Which of the following can be the best title for the text?
A. There Will Be Great Progress in Brain Science
B. Musk Shows Technology Linking Computer to Brain
C. Three Pigs Are Being Tested Instead of Human Beings
D. The Disabled Will Receive Better Treatment in the Future
第二节 任务型阅读（共5小题。每小题2分，满分10分）
根据对话内容，从所给对话后面的选项中选出能填入文中空白处的最佳选项。并在答题卡上将该项涂黑。备选项中有两项为多余选项。
Your brain lies to you a lot. We’re sorry to have to tell you this but it’s true. Even when your brain is doing important and difficult stuff, you’re not aware of most of what’s going on.
36 For the most part, it’s doing a great job, working hard to help you survive and achieve your goals in a complicated world. Because you often have to react quickly to emergencies and opportunities, your brain usually tries to get a simple answer in a hurry rather than a perfect answer that takes time to work out. But as the world is not simple, this means that your brain has to take shortcuts and make a lot of assumptions. 37
The problem starts when the brain takes in information from the world through the senses. Even if you are sitting quietly in a room, your brain receives far more information than it can hold on to or than you need to decide how to act. You may be aware of the detailed pattern of colors in the rug, the photographs on the wall and the sounds of birds outside. 38 Usually these things aren’t important so we don’t often notice how much information we lose.
When people look at complicated pictures, they can identify differences if the images remain still. But if the image moves quickly, then they have a lot more trouble. 39 To test this, psychologists have tried more interesting ways of getting people to fail to notice things. In one of our favorites, a researcher approaches someone on the street and asks for directions. While the person is replying, workmen carry a large door between the two people, blocking their view of each other. Behind the cover of the door, the person who asked for directions is replaced by another researcher who carries on the conversation as if nothing had happened. Even when the second person looks very different from the first, the person giving the directions has only about a fifty percent chance of noticing the change. 40
A. Your brain’s lies are in your best interest—most of the time—but they also lead to predictable mistakes.
B. This is because we imagine that we remember more details than we really can.
C. The experiments illustrate that you perceive only a little bit of what’s going on in the world.
D. Your brain selectively processes details that are important for you to notice.
E. Your brain perceives many other aspects of the scene initially but quickly forgets them.
F. This happens because our visual memory isn’t very good.
G. Your brain doesn’t intend to lie to you, of course.
