With their tiny brains and excellent ability to memorize nectar locations, honeybees are a favorite model organism for studying learning and memory. Such research has indicated that to form long-term memories—ones that last a day or more—the insects need to repeat a training experience at least three times. By contrast, short-and mid-term memories that last seconds to minutes and minutes to hours, respectively, need only a single learning experience.
Exceptions to this rule have been observed, however. For example, in some studies, bees formed long-lasting memories after a single learning event. Such results are often regarded as circumstantial anomalies, says Martin Giurfa of the University of Toulouse. But the anomalous findings, together with research showing that fruit flies and ants can form long-term memories after single experiences, aroused Giurfa’s curiosity. Was it possible that honeybees could reliably do the same? Giurfa reasoned that the ability to form long-term memories might depend on the particular type of bee and the experience. Within a honeybee colony, there are nurses, who clean the hive and feed the young; guards, who patrol and protect the hive; and foragers, who search for nectar.
While previous studies have tested bees as a whole, Ciurfa and his colleagues focused on foragers, tasking them with remembering an experience relevant to their role: an odor associated with a sugary reward.
The researchers observed that a single exposure to a reward-paired odor was enough for most forager bees to remember that specific odor the following day. Many foragers could even remember the odor three day later.
The results do not mean that all prior research was wrong, says André Fiala of the University of Göttingen. “People have done the experiments in a different way.” Still, the new results do show that “the commonly held belief that one needs multiple training trials to achieve long-term memory is not always true,” he says, and this “really advances the field.”
4. What does the author want to tell us through Paragraph 1?
A. A model for memory research.
B. The classification of memories.
C. New research on learning and memory.
D. Previous findings on memory formation.
5. Which factor might influence a bee’s memory of an experience, according to Giurfa’s research?
A. Whether the bee's role is related.
B. Whether the bee is introduced or native.
C. How often the bee repeats the experience.
D. How long the bee is exposed to the reward.
6. What is Andre Fiala’s attitude towards the new results?
A. Doubtful.
B. Favorable.
C. Intolerant.
D. Unclear.
7. Which of the following is a suitable title for the text?
A. Learning and Memory: How Honeybees Remember
B. Honeybee Memory: Honeybee Knows What to Do
C. Honeybees Remember after Just One Lesson
D. Honeybees Use Memory for Communication
C
Many teens may feel anxious sometimes. It’s the kind of nervousness that makes you bite your nails before a big test. We spend more time online than we should. We feel good about ourselves or bad based on how many Likes and Followers we get on social media. Young people are developing a false view of life.
On the screen, we see what people want to show us. People usually only post photos where they are looking their best. They are surrounded by friends and seem that they are having a great time. No one seems sad or lonely. In short, life isfabulous. But sooner or later, our young people compare their real life to it. They find that theirs doesn’t seem as fun or exciting and grow worried that they may be missing out.
No wonder teachers are reporting more anxious students. It’s reported that a lot more college students feel ―overwhelming anxiety. The percentage jumped from 50% in 2011 to 62% in 2016. Anxiety is now the most common mental-health problem in my country. It affects nearly one-third of teens and adults.
Certainly, we can’t blame it on social media alone. We expect toomuch from our children and a lot of these expectations aren’t reasonable. Their schedules are packed with sports, clubs and homework. They don’t have
enough free time. We want our children to succeed, and we don’t care how much it costs.
As parents, we must have more balance. On one hand, we push too hard, and on the other hand, we make life too easy for children. We shouldn’t and can’t promise our children that they will always be happy. We shouldn’t try to protect them from the problems of everyday life. Let them solve the problems in person.
8. What is the text mainly about?
A. What causes teens’ nervousness.
B. How to deal with teens’ anxiety.
C. What a view of life means to people.
D. How to treat social media appropriately.
9. What does the underlined word “fabulous” in paragraph 2 mean?
A. Wonderful.
B. Encouraging.
C. Anxious.
D. Doubtful.
10. Why does the author mention the numbers in paragraph 3?
A. To draw teachers’ attention.
B. To show teachers’ mental problems.
C. To present the seriousness of teens’ anxiety.
D. To show adults have more problems than teens.
11. What should parents do to help their children out?
A. Try to meet their expectations.
B. Help them with their homework.
C. Give them more free time to play sports.
D. Allow them to solve their own problems in life.
D
I had very good parents. My mother came toAmericafromScotlandby herself when she was 11, and she didn’t have much education. My dad was kind of a street kid, and he eventually went into the insurance business, selling nickel policies door to door.One day, my dad asked his boss, “What's the toughest market to sell?” and the insurance guy replied “Well, black people. They don’t buy insurance.” My dad thought, but they have kids; they have families. Why wouldn’t they buy insurance? So he said, “Give meHarlem.”
When my dad died in 1994, I talked about him onThe Tonight Show. I told the story of how he worked in Harlem and how he always taught us to be open-minded and not to say or think things of racism (种族主义). Then one day, I got a letter from a woman who was about 75 years old.
She wrote that when she was a little girl, a man used to come to her house to collect policies. She said this man was the only white person who had ever come to dinner at their house. The man was very kind to her, she said, and his name was Angelo—was this my father?
The letter made me cry. I called her up and said yes, that was in fact my dad, and she told me how kind he had been to her family. Her whole attitude toward white people was based on that one nice man she met in her childhood, who always treated her with kindness and respect and always gave her a piece of candy. From this experience, I learned a valuable life lesson: never judge people and be open-minded and kind to others.
12. What did my father do after knowing what was the toughest market to sell?
A. He asked his boss to give him some insurance.
B. He went toScotlandto improve his education.
C. He specially went to white families with kids.
D. He choseHarlemto face the toughest challenge.
13. What can we learn from the third paragraph?
A. It was rare that a businessman had dinner in his customer's house.
B. Angelo was the only white person to sell insurance inHarlem.
C. The little girl admired Angelo very much.
D. Racism was a serious problem inAmericaat that time.
14. Which of the following can best describe the author’s father?
A. Stubborn and generous.
B. Patient and intelligent.
C. Determined and open-minded.
D. Confident and romantic.
15. What can be the best title of the passage?
A. Memories from a TV Show.
B. A Letter from an Old Lady.
C. Life Lessons from My Father.
D. My Father's Experience inHarlem.

Li Hua 第二节书面表达（满分25分）
52.阅读下面短文，根据所给情节进行续写，使之构成一个完整的故事。

Mike licked (舔) the last of the chocolate ice cream. It was almost time to leave. He jumped into the car with his parents and headed off to the Olympic-sized pool for the big swim meet. When his race came up, Mike was confident. He was strong and swift. Mike climbed out the pool, smiling. He had just won first place.
A week later, it was time for another swim meet. Like before, Mike decided to enjoy his favorite flavored ice
cream before they left home. As Mike climbed out the pool, his teammates patted (拍) him on the back. He'd taken first place again in his race.
As it turned out, Mike decided to have some chocolate ice cream before every one of the next few swim meets that came up. He began to think of it as his lucky charm. After several months of being placed in the top positions of every race he swam, Mike was feeling unbeatable. And he wouldn't admit it, but he was also starting to feel a little uncomfortable. All that ice cream was adding a few pounds to his athletic swimmer's build.
It didn't take long after that for Mike to start coming in second place — and then third — and then last place in his races. The lucky chocolate ice cream had lost its magic. On the day of his next swim meet, his mother sat down at the table with him.“Mike, I think we need to talk about this. We all love ice cream, but it's got lots of fat and sugar in it, and it's not healthy for your body to eat so much of it.”Mike reluctantly agreed. His father offered to go running with him a few days a week to help strengthen his muscles. The extra weight soon disappeared, and Mike found himself breathing easier at swim practices.
It was the last meet of the season, and Mike wasn't sure what to expect. He felt healthy again, but he didn't know if he still had any speed in the pool.
