1.You carry a 1.3kg mass of fatty material in your head that controls everything you will ever do.This fantastic control center lets you think,learn,create,and feel emotions.It also controls everything your body does.What is this amazing machine?It's your brain-a structure so amazing that the famous scientist James Watson called it"the most complex thing we have yet discovered in our universe."
Imagine your kitten jumped onto the kitchen counter,and was about to step onto a hot stove.You would have only seconds to act.In situations like this,your brain reads the signals from your eyes and quickly calculates when,where and at what speed you need to run to save her.Then it tells your muscles to move.No computer can match your brain's great ability to download,process,and react to the flood of information from your eyes,ears and other sensory organs.
If a bee lands on your foot,sensory neurons(神經(jīng)元) in your skin send this information to your brain at a speed of more than 240kilometers per hour.Your brain then uses motor neurons to send a message back to your foot:Shake the bee off quickly!Motor neurons can send this information at more than 320 kilometers per hour!
Your brain contains about 100 billion tiny cells:neurons-it would take you more than 3,000years if you tried to count them all.Whenever you dream,laugh,think,see or move,tiny chemical and electrical signals are racing between these neurons along billions of tiny neuron pathways.Believe it or not,the activity in your brain never stops.Countless messages fly around inside it every second,like a super-fast game of table tennis.Your neurons create and send more messages than all the phones in the entire world.And although a single neuron generates only a tiny amount of electricity,all your neurons together can generate enough electricity to power a light bulb.

66.By"the most complex thing",James Watson meansC.
A.a(chǎn) supercomputer
B.the universe
C.human brains
D.our emotions
67.Which of the following statements is true according to the 2nd and 3rd paragraphC?
A.Brains can download more information than any computer.
B.The kitten plays an important role in testing human brain power.
C.Motor neurons in human brains serve to send countless messages.
D.Your brains can use neurons to send messages back faster than bees'.
68.The author mentions"to power light bulbs"(Para.4)to showC.
A.neurons can send lots of messages
B.how many active tiny cells brains contain
C.how much electricity brains can generate
D.there is countless information in the brain
69.What is the main idea of the passageA?
A.Powerful brain is a wonderful machine.
B.Brains work well in controlling body movements.
C.Brain is the most complex structure in the universe.
D.Human brains are composed of numerous neurons.

分析 本文屬于說明文閱讀,作者通過這篇文章主要向我們描述了關(guān)于神經(jīng)元的科學(xué)研究,具體介紹了大腦的工作原理,大腦是十分神奇的.

解答 66.C.細(xì)節(jié)理解題.根據(jù)第一段中的"It's your brain-a structure so amazing that the famous scientist James Watson called it‘the most complex thing we have yet discovered in our universe.'"可知,James Watson認(rèn)為宇宙中最復(fù)雜的是人的大腦,故選C.
67.C.推理判斷題.根據(jù)第二和第三段中所舉的例子可知,當(dāng)發(fā)生事情時,感覺神經(jīng)元會將信號迅速傳入大腦,而大腦通過運(yùn)動神經(jīng)元將信息反饋回肢體,做出相應(yīng)的反應(yīng).所以運(yùn)動神經(jīng)元是用來傳遞信息的,故選C.
68.C.推理判斷題.根據(jù)第四段中的"And although a single neuron generates only a tiny amount of electricity,all your neurons together can generate enough electricity to power a light bulb."可知,雖然單個的神經(jīng)元可產(chǎn)生的電量微乎其微,但是所有的神經(jīng)元一起產(chǎn)生的電量足夠點(diǎn)亮一個燈泡,這說明了大腦可產(chǎn)生的電量.故選C.
69.A.主旨大意題.第一段就點(diǎn)明了主題"What is this amazing machine?It's your brain",下面幾段具體介紹了大腦的工作原理,所以本文主要講的是  神奇的大腦,故選A.

點(diǎn)評 考察學(xué)生的細(xì)節(jié)理解和推理判斷能力,做細(xì)節(jié)理解題時一定要找到文章中的原句,和題干進(jìn)行比較,再做出正確的選擇.在做推理判斷題不要以個人的主觀想象代替文章的事實(shí),要根據(jù)文章事實(shí)進(jìn)行合乎邏輯的推理判斷.

12.If you had billions of dollars,would you donate almost all of it to charity?Well that's what Mark Zuckerberg,CEO and founder of Facebook,just said he would do.Zuckerberg and his wife Priscilla Chan promised to give 99percent of their Facebook shares to society throughout their lifetime.Right now that is about $45billion (289billion yuan),and they plan to donate the money to things like science and education.Many billionaires in the West have done similar things.Bill Gates,creator of Microsoft,made The Giving Pledge,which is where billionaires promise to gradually give away more than half of their wealth to charities.
2.China's first Charity Law was passed on March 16,2016,with lawmakers hoping it can give donors confidence that they are helping the people who really need help.The new law,which will take effect in September,makes it easier for charity groups to raise money and carry out their activities"Charitable programs are indispensable for the fight against poverty.Formulating a charity law helps nongovernmental sources work together in taking targeted measures to eliminate poverty and contribute to achieving the goal of building a moderately prosperous society,"said Li Jianguo,vice chairman of the National People's Congress (NPC) Standing Committee.
3."Charity",which means providing aids to needy people,is becoming a popular word in China as the country struggles to reduce the gap between rich and poor.

Actively involved in the charitable work,many western billionaires like Zuckerberg have won themselves much praise.Meanwhile,charity in China also enjoys a boom with the perfection of the relevant legal system.
Donors'unselfishness will make it easier for those in need to access good facilities and resources,making their future change for the better and fostering their sense of positive outlooks.In addition,the receivers will experience a high level of love and care and learn the virtue of being grateful,which will drive them to take responsibility for repaying the society.
Given a chance for charity,I would like to work for the children in the remote areas.Born in the underdeveloped country areas,most of them have to drop out of school due to poverty,leaving their compulsory education uncompleted.Our funding will cover their tuition and living costs,helping their life to get back on track..

5.Volunteering at a nursing home is an often overlooked volunteer area and yet one of the most needed.Statistics show that only 50 percent of nursing home residents have no close relatives and 46 percent have no living children.(36)BHowever,the self-gratification and relationships you will receive is too unusual to be replaced.
      Make a list of nursing homes you are able to volunteer at on a regular basis.When doing this,use any resources from family members,friends,or even use an online search engine to find nursing homes.When choosing your home,also keep in mind your schedule; make sure that you can be fully committed to any obligations that the nursing home may give you.(37)D
     (38)FBefore calling,choose your times wisely,anytime between 9 am-11 am and 2 pm-5 pm would be a good option.By avoiding meal times or later at night,you'll have a better chance for getting information and finding people who are free to talk with you.
     Ask for an application form.(39)AThis step is also where your applicant process begins.They will hand you all necessary applicant information.Most nursing homes will conduct interviews,do background checks,and may even have you receive vaccines and take drug tests.
     Become a"volunteer in training"at the nursing home.(40)CBecause of the wide variety of possible areas,you may experience variations in your training length and the content may vary.

A.The activity director or volunteer coordinator(志愿者協(xié)調(diào)員) will handle all of your information from here.
B.The process of becoming a volunteer at a nursing home can often be a little too long.
C.You'll be taken into training depending on the area you are assigned to train in.
D.From your list,choose the top three that cater to what you are looking for.

12.Twelve years ago,Danny called me from a dark,damp subway station."A baby!"he shouted."Get down here,and flag down a police car or something."By nature,Danny is a remarkably calm person,so when I felt his heart pounding through the phone line,I ran.
When I got to the subway station,Danny was holding a light-brown-skinned baby,about a day old.The baby had been wrapped in an oversize black sweatshirt and left on the ground in a corner behind the gate.
What neither of us knew,or could have predicted,was that Danny had not just saved an abandoned infant; he had found our son.
Three months later,Danny appeared in family court to give an account of finding the baby.Suddenly,the judge asked,"Would you be interested in adopting this baby?"The question surprised everyone in the courtroom,except Danny,who answered,simply,"Yes."
"But I know it's not that easy,"he said.
"Well,it can be,"assured the judge before barking out orders to allow me to be a parent-to-be.
My first reaction,when I heard,went something like,"Are you crazy?How could you say yes without consulting me?"
In three years as a couple,we had never discussed adopting a child.I was an ambitious playwright working as a part-time word processor.Danny was a respected yet wildly underpaid social worker.We had a roommate,who slept in our living room,to help pay the rent.
We knew how many challenges couples usually faced when they wanted to adopt.And while Danny had patience and selflessness,I didn't know how to change a diaper (尿布),let alone nurse a child.I didn't trust the system and was sure there would be obstacles.Also,I couldn't handle parenthood.So I promised myself I wouldn't get attached.
The caretaker held him and then placed him in my arms.But when the baby stared up at me,with all the innocence and hope he represented,I,like Danny,was completely hooked.

28.Why did the author rush to the subway station?B
A.Because Danny finally found their lost son.
B.Because she sensed Danny met something urgent.
C.Because Danny had a heart attack.
D.Because someone gave birth to a baby there.
29.How did the author react on hearing Danny's answer to the judge's question?C
A.Surprised by the question.
B.Crazy to be a parent-to-be.
C.Annoyed at Danny's decision.
D.Angry at challenging her authority.
30.It can be inferred from the last paragraph thatA.
A.the author will adopt the baby
B.the couple were tempted to take the baby
C.the baby will bring hope to the family
D.the couple love each other very much
31.What is the author's purpose in writing the passage?D
A.To introduce a story of a poor family.

C.To call on people to donate money to them.

10.In his younger days,Colombian pianist Oscar Garcia toured several continents playing Latin American music with popular bands.The experience was memorable.He stayed at luxury hotels,dined on delicious food and rubbed shoulders with star singers like Celia Cruz,Johny Ventura and Willie Chirino.
