根据短文内容,从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项,并在答题卡上将该项涂黑。选项中有两项为多余选项。

A strong memory depends on the health and vitality (活力) of your brain. They say that you can’t teach an old dog new tricks, but when it comes to the brain, scientists have discovered that this old saying simply isn’t true.   1.

Give your brain a workout. Memory, like muscular strength, requires you to “use it or lose it”. The more you work out your brain, the better you’ll be able to process and remember information. 2.

Don’t skip the physical exercise. While mental exercise is important for brain health, that doesn’t mean you never need to break a sweat. Physical exercise helps your brain stay sharp. It increases oxygen to your brain and reduces the risk for disorders that lead to memory loss.

Get enough sleep. There is a big difference between the amount of sleep you can get by on and the amount you need to function at your best. 3.

Keep stress in check. Stress is one of the brain’s worst enemies. Over time, stress destroys brain cells. Studies have also linked stress to memory loss.

Have a laugh.   4.  That holds true for the brain and the memory, as well as the body. Unlike emotional responses, which are limited to specific areas of the brain, laughter engages multiple regions across the whole brain.

5.  Just as the body needs fuel, so does the brain. You probably already know that a diet based on fruits, vegetables, whole grains, “healthy” fats and lean protein will provide lots of health benefits, but such a diet can also improve memory. For brain health, though, it’s not just what you eat—it’s also what you dont eat.

A. Eat a brain-boosting diet.

B. Play games with memory.

C. Laughter is the best medicine.

D. But oversleeping is not good for your brain.

E. Even skipping a few hours makes a difference!

F. You have to shake things up from time to time!

G. The human brain has an astonishing ability to adapt and change.

 

1.G 2.F 3.E 4.C 5.A 【解析】 试题考点: 1.G 由前文可知科学家发现古老的说法存在错误,即人的大脑适应变化的能力是非常惊人的,所以答案是G。 2.F 由前文可知大脑用的越多,就越灵活,所以连接答案F。 3.E 前文提到要保证足够的睡眠,即使是小憩一下效果也是很明显的,所以答案是E。 4.C 前文涉及到微笑,所以答案是C即微笑是最好的良药。 5. 日常生活类阅读。

Whether you live in Seattle or the Sahara desert, the time has come to invest in a good raincoat or umbrella, a new study suggests.

As global temperatures continue to rise, more “extreme rain” events—intense, cats-and-dogs downpours—can be expected, said the study, published Monday in the journal Nature Climate Change. And that, scientists said, means an increased flood risk, particularly for the world’s driest areas. The study challenges the idea that global warming is causing dry areas to become drier and wet areas wetter.

“In both wet and dry regions, we see these great increases in heavy precipitation(冰雹),” lead author Markus Donat, a climate scientist at the University of New South Wales, told Nature.

Donat and his team collected data from 1951 to 2010 on extreme precipitation events from 11, 000 weather stations around the world, Nature reported.

In that time, the number of days with “extreme precipitation” increased 1 percent to 2 percent per decade.

“We found a strong relationship between global warming and an increase in rainfall, particularly in areas outside of the tropics,” Donat said in a statement.

“Importantly, this research suggests we will see these extreme rainfall events increases at regional levels in dry areas, not just as an average across the globe,” Donat added.

Peter Stott, a senior climate scientist at Met Office, told Climate Central that the study’s findings are important, because more violent rainfall and flooding will “challenge our capability to adapt to a rapidly changing climate.”

As Nature reported, the research aligns(结盟)with a 2015 study that found global warming has led to a sharp increase in record-breaking precipitation events. Donat told Nature that his study should come as a warning to world governments.

1.Which of the following is one of the study’s findings?

A. Global warming is causing dry areas to become drier and wet areas wetter.

B. Extreme rain events can be expected at regional levels in dry areas.

C. Extreme rainfall events increase at regional levels in wet areas.

D. Rainfall increases particularly in the tropics areas.

2.Why does Scott think the findings are important?

A. The research aligns with a 2015 study.

B. They are about extreme precipitation events.

C. They remind us to adjust to rapid climate changes.

D. The study involves many famous climate scientists.

3.The purpose of the study is to ______.

A. encourage investors to start business in Seattle or the Sahara desert

B. persuade people to take a raincoat or an umbrella with them

C. challenge the previous findings of research on climate

D. warn world governments to focus on global warming

Nobody likes an old poop(傻子). Developing a sense of humor is part of becoming a mature, emotionally healthy individual. Laughter is good for the soul, builds friendships and relieves stress. It serves as the glue for social situations and as an ice-breaker for sadness and boredom. If you’ve ever been told to “lighten up” or “chill out”, you should save the blue attitude for serious situations and develop your sense of humor.

Forgive the accidental. A sudden fall is humorous not because we like to see people fall, but because it surprises. From a spilled(溢出)water glass in a meeting to Aunt Rae’s teeth coming off in the Thanksgiving turkey, the embarrassment of accidents can be relieved by humor and a helping hand. After making sure that nobody’s hurt, forgive accidents with a chuckle(咯咯地笑)rather than a scolding.

Look for the unexpected. The kid who used to look at you with his eyes closed during a test had the idea. Parents who serve green eggs and ham to their children on graduation day get the idea. Unexpected actions lighten an atmosphere and relax people.

Learn to laugh with your kids. Most of what children say and do is funny. Help them learn that accidents are sometimes funny and sometimes occasions for joining in and helping another human being. By sharing laughs and attempting to explain humor, you develop your sense of humor, as well as help kids develop their own sense of humor.

1.If you’ve ever been told to “lighten up” or “chill out”, it means ______.

A. you are humorous           B. you are blue

C. you lack humor             D. you are funny

2.According to Paragraph 2, when your friend falls, you can ______.

A. laugh at him      B. chuckle

C. scold him         D. feel embarrassed

3. In the author’s opinion, if your mother serves green eggs and hum to you on your graduation day, she is ______.

A. boring        B. serious      C. considerate     D. humorous

4.What is the best title for the passage?

A. How to Develop a Sense of Humor

B. Ways to Become a Healthy Individual

C. The Function of Humor

D. Proper Attitudes Toward Humor

I grew up poor. We had little money, but plenty of love and attention. I understood that no matter how poor a person was, they could still afford a dream. My dream was athletics.

By the time I was sixteen, I was good at baseball and football. My high-school coach was Ollie Jarvis. He not only believed in me, but taught me the difference between having a dream and showing conviction(信念).

One summer a friend recommended me for a summer job. This meant a chance for money in my pocket cash for dates with girls, certainly, money for a new bike and new clothes, and the start of savings for a house for my mother.

Then I realized I would have to give up summer baseball to handle the work schedule, and that meant I would have to tell Coach Jarvis I wouldn’t be playing. I was dreading(害怕)this, but my mother said: If you make your bed, you have to lie in it.

When I told Coach Jarvis, he was as mad as I expected him to be. “Your playing days are limited. You can’t afford to waste them,” he said.

I stood before him with my head hanging, trying to think of the words that would explain to him why my dream of buying my mom a house.

“How much are you going to make at this job, son?” he demanded.

“Three twenty-five an hour,” I replied.

“Well,” he asked, “is $3.25 an hour the price of a dream?”

That question laid bare for me the difference between wanting something right now and having a goal. I devoted myself to sports that summer, and within the year I was drafted by the Pittsburgh Pirates to play rookie-league ball, and offered a $20,000 contract. I signed with the Denver Broncos in 1984 for $1.7 million, and bought my mother the house of my dream.

1.The writer was grateful to Coach Jarvis, because Jarvis ______.

A. made him set a goal

B. supplied him with new clothes

C. gave him financial support

D. helped him show conviction

2.When the boy was offered a job, he wanted to ______.

A. balance summer baseball and the work schedule

B. refuse the job offer for summer baseball

C. give up summer baseball for the job

D. ask his coach Jarvis for advice

3. Which of the following can replace “If you make your bed, you have to lie in it.”?

A. You must eat the bitter fruit of your own making.

B. Believe in yourself, but above all be patient.

C. You must rely on yourself first, then others.

D. A good beginning makes a good ending.

4. The end of the story was that the writer ______.

A. failed to buy his mother a house

B. succeeded as a sportsman

C. became a successful businessman

D. made some money in the summer job
