I can't remember right now.‖Have you eve r heard your grandparents ask questions like this sometimes? Usually, we think that older people's memory becomes bad because their brains get weak. But now a team of scientists at the University of Tubingen in Germany has a new idea.―The human brain works slower in old age,‖ says Michael Ramscar, the lead scientist. ―But only because they have stored more information overtime.‖The findings are based on a series of computer simulations(模拟) of learning and memory. Scientists let the computers read a certain amount of words and learn new things each day. When the computer "reads" only so much, its performance on cognitive(认知)tests is similar of a young adult. But if the computer learns the experiences we might encounter over a lifetime, its performance is similar to that of an older adult.Often it is slower, but not because its processing capacity has declined. Rather, increased "experience" has caused the computer's database to grow, giving it more data(数据)to process——which takes time. This is similar to old people. Imagine a person knows two people's birthdays. Another person knows the birthdays of 2000 people, but can only match the right person to the right birthday nine times out of 10. Can you say the first person has a better memory than the second person?46.The writer uses a question at the beginning of the passage to .A. invite the readers to answer the questionB. attract the readers' attention to the topicC. show how weak older people's brains areD. tell the readers the latest findings about brains47.According to the research, why do old people forget people's names easily?A. Because they have a very poor memory.B. Because they are too old to remember things.C. Because their brains become weaker than before.D. Becasue they have stored too much information.48.Where would this passage most probably appear?A. In a magazine.B. In a story book.C. In a novel.D. In a guidebook.49.What would be the best title for the passage?A. Do old people have a bad memory?B. Scientists' new findings on brainsC. Human brain's processing capacityD. Which is better, the old or the young?BIf you saw a group of kids hitting and abusing(虐待，伤害)an animal, would you stop them? Would you at least call the police? Again people would walk away. Some people do not believe that animal abuse is a big issue(问题).Every day animals are abused in their homes or on the streets. It seems as if politicians(从政者)do nothing to stop this issue. Everyone is worried about education and global warming. What about animals? We should not forget them just because they cannot talk to us. Animals, like us humans, have rights. Every living being has the right to warm shelter and good food, but most importantly, they have the right to be wanted and loved. They have the right to be a special, much loved member of their own family.There are many organizations that deal with abused animals or animals that have no home like ASPCA, PETA, the Humane Society and many more. There are organizations that deal with this issue, but that does not mean that we still shouldn't help. The biggest saying that bothers me is, "I am only one person. I can't make a difference." If everyone thought like that, we wouldn't have the organizations and loving people who help the world every day. By helping one animal, you are making a difference.There are many things you can do right now to help animals around your neighbourhood. You can volunteer at your local animal shelter, raise money for animal shelters, inform your community about animal abuse or you can write to your representatives(代表)and tell them that animal abuse needs to be taken seriously.As you walk down the street, try to help any animal you see walking around. You can easily buy a cheap box of dry cat or dog food to feed the animals. If we do not help our animals now, we may never have animals again. Always remember that with every step you take, you help save an animal's life and isn't that worth fighting for?50. Some people won't stop kids from abusing animals because .A. they are too busy to worry about the animalsB. they don't take animal abuse seriouslyC. they just leave it to the policeD. they are afraid of being laughed at51. We can learn from the text that ASPCA .A. is another name for the Humane SocietyB. provides shelter for both animals and humansC. deals with such issues as education and global warmingD. aims at protecting animals from being abused52. Which of the following statements will the writer agree with?A. Dogs have the right to be treated kindlyB. One person cannot possibly make a differenceC. More attention should be paid to education and global warning than animal abuseD. It is the politicians' duty to stop animal abuse53. The main purpose of the text is to .A. hate those who abuse animalsB. advise people to slap animal abuseC. show how animals are abusedD. explain why people abuse animalsCI’ll never forget that summer day in 1965 when my mother suddenly died of an unexplained illness at the age of 36. Later that afternoon, a police officer stopped by to ask my father if the hospital could use Mother’s corneas(角膜). I was shocked. ―The doctors want to dissect Mum and give her away to other people!‖ I thought as I ran into the house in tears.―How can you let th em do that to her?‖ I screamed at my father. ―My mum came into this world in one piece and that is how s he should go out.‖―Linda,‖ Father said quietly, putting his arm around me, ―the greatest gift you can give is a part of yourself. Your mother and I decided long ago that if we can make a difference in just one person’s life after we die, our death will have meaning.‖ He went on to explain they had both decided to donate their organs(器官).The lesson my father taught me that day became one of the most important in my life.Years passed. I married and had a family of my own. In 1980, my father became seriously ill and moved in with us. He cheerfully told me that when he died, he wanted m e to donate his eyes. ―Sight is one of the greatest gifts a person can give,‖ he said.I told Wendy what her grandpa had said, and with tears in her eyes, she went into her grandpa’s room and gave him a big hug. She was only fourteen years old----the same age at which I was introduced to such a thing. What a difference!My father died on April 11,1986, and we donated his eyes as he had wanted. Three days later, Wendy said, ―Mum, I’m so proud of you for what did for Grandpa.‖At that moment, I realized that my father gave much more than his eyes.54.How was it for the writer to agree the hospital’s use of her mother’s corneas?A. EasyB. PossibleC. SimpleD. Difficult55.Accordin g to the passage, the underlined word ―dissect‖ may be best replacedby______.A. cut upB. search forC. move awayD.burn away56.Why did the writer finally agree on her mother’s donation?A.Because she was afraid of her fatherB. Because she didn’t care about it any moreC. Because she was too young to stop it.D. Because her father explained to her57.What did Wendy think of her grandpa’s donation?A. At first she couldn’t accept it, but she agreed in the end.B. She begged her mother not to donate her grandpa’s eyes.C. She felt proud of her grandpa’s donationD. She thought it normal and didn’t car about it much.第Ⅱ卷(四大题，共51分)五、词汇检测(共10小题;每小题1分，满分10分)根据下列句子及所给汉语注释或通过上下文，在答题卡上标有题号的横线上，写出空缺处各单词的正确形式。
