請認真閱讀下列短文，從短文后各題所給的A、B、C、D四個選項中，選出最佳選項，并在答題卡上將該項涂黑。
A
Around the age of 40, honest people may already admit to noticing changes in their mental abilities. This is the beginning of a gradual decline that in all too many of us will end with full-blown dementia(癡呆).
However, a few drugs that might do the job, known as “cognitive enhancement(認知增強)”, are already on the market, and a few dozen others are on the way. Perhaps the best-known is modafinil. Licensed to treat narcolepsy, the condition that causes people to suddenly fall asleep, it has notable effects in healthy people too. Modafinil can keep a person awake and his or her attention fixed for 90 hours straight, with none of anxiety, nervousness and bad concentration. In fact, with the help of modafinil, people who can hardly go to sleep can perform even better than their well-rested, un-medicated(未服藥的) selves.
It’s an open secret that many, perhaps most, prescriptions for modafinil are written not for people who suffer from narcolepsy, but for those who simply want to stay awake. Similarly, many people are using Ritalin not because they suffer from attention problem or any other disorder, but because they want superior concentration during exams or heavy-duty activities.
Some drugs have also been specially designed to improve memory. Many of these seem to work, and without any major side effects. So why aren’t we all on cognitive enhancers already?
“We need to be careful what we wish for,” says Daniele Piomelli at the University of California at Irvine. Repairing and improving memory may have unwanted effects, he warns. “Eventually we may end up remembering things we don’t want to.”
56. According to the message, we can learn that originally modafinil is a drug designed for _____.
A. for both healthy and unhealthy people
B. the treatment of dementia
C. people who can hardly go to sleep
D. those suffering from falling asleep suddenly

A. dementia—a threat to the old people                     B. modafinil—a nice drug for dementia
C. relevant drugs to a better brain                      D. cognitive enhancement
58. The underlined sentences in paragraph two wants to tell us that _____.
A. without modafinil people suffering from sleep problems cannot rest well
B. people lacking sleep can work better than they are in a healthy state if taking modafinil
C. modafinil has greater effects on healthy people if they take it
D. with modafinil people suffering from narcolepsy can fall asleep easily

Dear Mr. Wang,

Thank you for taking your time to read my letter. 

My name is Wang Lin. I was born in Yangzhou, Jiangsu Province in February 1988. Now I’m studying in the Foreign Languages College, Yangzhou University. As an open-minded young man, I’m good at communicating with people. English is my favorite subject. In 2007, I won the first prize in the National English Speech Contest. And in 2008 I worked as a volunteer in the Beijing Olympics, which helps me accumulate enough working experience.

    With the approach of the 2010 World Expo, I’d like very much to be a volunteer. Above all, I like meeting people from all over the world and making friends with them. Besides, I have such a rich knowledge about Chinese history that I can introduce them to our splendid culture. I’m sure I’ll serve the guests with enthusiasm. To sum up, I believe I can be a qualified volunteer. 

I will value it and do all I can if I could be accepted.

W: What time did yesterday's second Baseball game start?

M: It was supposed to start at a quarter to five, but it was delayed an hour because they had to play an extra inning in the first game.

(Text 3)                     ,    -

M: Hello, Mary. This is David Morison from the office. I'm calling to see how Tom is feeling today. If he's not well, I may tell someone else to do his work instead.

W: Oh, hello. The doctor said he'd be able to go back to work tomorrow. 

M: I see. Thank you.

(Text 4)               

W: How can I get to your house?

M: Oh it’s very easy. My house is only five minutes’ walk from the station. Turn right outside the station, and then it's the third street on the left. You can't miss it. It's got the number on the gate. It's exactly opposite the park.

W: I see. Thanks.

(Text 5)

W: What a memory I have! I did write down the number on a sheet of paper when I answered the phone this morning. But now the paper is missing.

M: Don't worry. I'll be seeing Mr. Brown in an hour.

(Text 6)

M: You were driving 40 miles per hour in a 25 miles per hour zone.

W: I wasn't speeding. I was driving 25 miles per hour. But there was a car in front of me that was only going 15 or 20. I think he was looking for someone's address. 1 finally passed him. And it was just at that moment that you saw me,

M: You were going 40 miles an hour. The speed limit is 25. The fine is $ 50 plus $15 court costs.

(Text 7)

M: Here we are. This is it. I know it's smaller than you wanted, but it's one of the nicest flats in the building.

W: Does it have three bedrooms?

M: No, there are two. The master room is quite large though. Maybe you could let the children share the larger room, and you and your husband could use the smaller one.

W: I suppose I could do that. A three- bedroom flat will be difficult to find. I've been looking for one over a week. The first three --- bedroom flats that I have found are all extremely expensive. You said that the rent would be 350 dollars a month.

M: Yes. It includes gas. So, as you can imagine, electricity and water are quite inexpensive.

W: This sounds better and better. But before I sign all agreement I would like my husband to see it.

M: Why not stop by with him this morning? Our office is open until seven o'clock.

W: OK. See you then.

(Text 8)

W: Tell me exactly what happened'

M: Well, I was walking through the park yesterday When a woman knocked me right off my feet and ran off through the trees.

M: Can you describe the woman for me?

M: Yeah. She was about 190 centimeters tall.., and wearing a white and black a red sweater over it, and a pair of basketball shoes.

W: Hmm. What else?

M: She had a heavy build, with long hair and was probably in her late 30's.

W: What was, uh, taken …exactly?

M: Well, just my left shoe.    

W: Oh, this man again! He often wanders around the park. He likes to remove the left shoe from men for some unknown reason and usually returns the shoe to the crime scene a couple of days later.

M: Hey, he can keep my shoe, and I'll just take off my left shoe every time I walk through the park.

(Text 9)           

W: Did you see today’s newspaper? That building over in Centerville was just struck by lightning for the fourth time!

M: I'm not surprised. If the conditions for lightning to strike are right one time, they might be as good another time.

W: Well, I don't take any chances. If I'm caught in a thunderstorm, I look for a building or a closed car. Also, I was told that if you're stuck outdoors, the best thing you can do is to keep yourself close to the ground and avoid bodies of water.

M: To tell you the truth, even when I'm at home, I don't take baths or showers during a thunderstorm. And I don't use anything that works electrically; Maybe I'm too anxious.

W: I wouldn't say that. According to the article, lightning starts thousands of fires every year in the United States alone. Hundreds of people are injured or even killed. I think you're just being sensible.

(Text 10)

M: Attention please, ladies and gentlemen. Our bus is getting close to Cambridge, where we'll be stopping to eat. We'll have our lunch in 'the garden of a restaurant overlooking a small park that reminds people of a very famous tree. It's said that General George Washington took command of the army in 1775 under its very branches. It was almost 100 years later, in 1864, that the city of Cambridge celebrated the event and from that moment on, the tree was called the Washington Elm. Later the tree was attacked by insects and finally destroyed in a storm. The remains of the tree were cut down and the growth tings were counted to find out how old the tree was. Well, it seems that if Washington had accepted the Command of his army under this tree he must have done so on his knees. This particular elm couldn't have been over 3 or 4 years old in 1775, It is a well-known fact that Washington took command under an elm tree, but unfortunately it couldn't have been the famous Washington Elm.

    Well, enjoy your lunch. Watch your step as you leave the bus.
