(9分,每小题3分)从什么时候开始,人们读小说就是为了读故事?故事与叙事是不同的,叙事才更接近小说的本质。

正如托马斯·曼所说,小说家既要通晓现实,也要通晓魔力。

故事所描述的是一种现实,而叙事则是一种语言的魔力。

应该说,从先锋小说发起叙事革命开始,小说写作就不仅是再现经验,讲述故事,它还是一种形式的建构,语言的创造。

写作再也不是简单的讲故事了,只有建构起了自己的叙事方式的作家,才称得上是一个有创造性的作家。

可是,这个经过多年探索所形成的写作难度上的共识,开始被文学界悄悄地遗忘。

更多的人,只是躺在现成的叙事成果里享受别人的探索所留下的碎片,或者回到传统的叙事道路上来;故事在重新获得小说的核心地位的同时,叙事革命也面临着停顿。

这种停顿,表明艺术惰性在生长,写作和阅读耐心在日渐丧失。

讲述一个有趣而好看的故事,成了多数作家潜在的写作愿望。

然而,文学一旦丧失了语言冒险的乐趣,只单纯地去满足读者对趣味的追逐,它还是真正的文学吗?说到底,文学的独特价值,许多时候正是体现在语言的冒险、叙事的探索上,这样往往能开辟出一条回归文学自性的道路。

Here is a look at world’s six greatest bookstores.Adrian Harrington—since 1971.Rare books; rare first editions; leather bound sets and general antiquarian (古玩). Address: 64a Kensington Church Street, Kensington, London, England, U. K.Another Country—Kreuzberg, Berlin, Germany. Another Country is an English Language second hand bookshop which is mostly used as a library. They have about 20, 000 books that you can buy or borrow. Some regular events are held at the shop, such as readings, cultural events, social evenings and film nights.Atlantis Books—Oía, Santorini, Greece. Atlantis Books is an independent bookshop on the island of Santorini, Greece, founded in 2004 by a group of friends from Cyprus, England, and the United States. Throughout the year it has hosted literary festivals, film screenings, book readings, and good old fashioned dance parties.Bart’s Books—Ojai, California, U. S. A.“The World’s Greatest Outdoor Bookstore”, a bookstore founded by Richard Bartinsdale in 1964.Shelves of books face the street, and regular customers are asked to drop coins into the door’s coin box to pay for any books they take whenever the store is closed.Corso Como Bookshop—Milan, Italy. Extensive selection of publication on art, architecture, design, graphics and fashion, along with a strong emphasis on photography. It was founded in 1990 in Milan, Italy, by Carla Sozzani.The Bookworm—Beijing, China. A bookshop, library, bar, restaurant and event space, now with four divisions in three cities—Beijing, Suzhou and Chengdu. The interconnecting rooms with floor-to-ceiling books on every wall are light and airy in summer, yet warm and comfortable in winter.21.Which of the following bookstores has the longest history? ________A.Adrian Harrington. B.Atlantis Books.C.Bart’s Books. D.Corso Como Bookshop.22.What can you do in Atlantis Books? ________A.Attend a festival. B.Kill time in a bar.C.Enjoy rare books. D.Buy books anytime.23.How is The Bookworm different from the other bookstores? ________A.It is used as a library. B.It hosts all sorts of activities.C.It focuses on photography. D.It has branches in different cities.BMany young people these days adore the advertised magazine body and become too focused on attaining this image instead of worrying more about what lasts and even grows over time. But could you imagine being considered beautiful for years, and suddenly being ugly after moving to another continent? It is a sad reality that people don’t realize how vacillating the idea of beauty can be from one country to another.Think of the most typical American girl you know. Is she blonde haired with white skin and light eyes, and does she love shopping or sports? Now place this girl in the heart of Africa, a place where beauty is placed on what you can control. The Maasai tribe in Kenya focuses on how clean people are, and how stylish their piercings(穿孔)are. This tribe’s culture is to be a brave fighter, so they will cut their skin with patterns in it to show that they are strong. If you don’t look fierce, you are not beautiful.Other countries like North Korea and South Korea have their own unique views on beauty. In an interview, a woman who has lived in both North and South Korea claims that beauty in North Korea is based more on your ability to be a good woman and wife. She says that women in North Korea are less concerned about fashion and beauty in the physical sense. She says they did have a time when big eyes were a big deal and everyone wanted to get double eyelid surgery. This is something extreme and could perhaps be influenced by Western culture. And the idea of getting surgery done to look more attractive is crazy.24.What does the underlined w ord “vacillating” in Paragraph 1 probably mean? ________A.Inconsistent. B.Reasonable. C.Unusual. D.Similar.25.The Maasai tribe in Kenya is mentioned to show that in their eyes _______.A.being dirty is stylish B.Looking fierce is beautifulC.strong people cut their skin D.American girls love shopping26.According to the woman interviewed, women in North Korea _______.A.care a lot about their appearance B.Put the beauty of eyes in the first placeC.pay great attention to their ability D.Are crazy about double eyelid surgery27.What does the text mainly tell us? ________A.Inner beauty is of great importance.B.Ideas of beauty vary among culture groups.C.Different ways are needed to admire true beauty.D.Fashion magazines easily influence young people.CPatients in the early stages of Alzheimer’s disease often struggle to remember recently learned information, meaning they forget things like important appointments or where they left their keys. But it seems that these memories are not lost. They are still filed away in the brain somewhere; they just can’t be easily accessed.Now, researchers at MIT have developed a means of getting back memories in mice suffering from Alzheimer’s. The method relies on a technique that uses light to control g enetically modified neurons(转基因神经元). Currently it is too early to be used in human trials as it involves inserting light emitting(发光)equipment into the subjects’ brains, but the same principles still apply, the researchers said.“The important point is that this is evidence of concept. That is, even if a memory seems to be gone, it is still there. It’s a matter of how to get it back,” said senior researcher Susumu Tonegawa.The team took two groups of mice, one genetically engineered to develop Alzheimer’s and one healthy. They then placed them into a room and gave them a mild electric shock. All of the mice showed fear when put back in anhour later. When placed in the room a third time several days later, the Alzheimer’s mice acted normally. They had forgotten the shock.The researchers were then able to bring back the memory of the shock by activating(激活)the cells in which the memories were stored. Even when the mice were put into an unfamiliar room, they showed fear when the cells associated with the shock were activated.“Short-term memory seems to be normal, on the order of hours. But for long-term memory, these early-Alzheimer’s mice seem to be damaged,” said lead researcher Dheeraj Roy. “Directly activating the cells that we believe are holding the memory helps them get it back. This suggests that it is indeed an access problem to the information, not that they’re unable to learn or store this memory.”28.What can we learn about the researchers at MIT? ________A.They are the pioneers of brain research.B.They have used the method in human trials.C.They can cure Alzheimer’s using the new method.D.They can get back memories in mice with Alzheimer’s.29.Why did the Alzheimer’s mice behave normally a third time? ________A.They failed to remember the electric shock.B.They were accustomed to the situation.C.They managed to overcome the fear.D.They activated the association.30. For long-term memory, the early Alzheiher’ s mice _______.A.can activate their blood cells B.can’t learn new tricks wellC.can easily get back their memory D.can’t access the information stored31.The main purpose of the text is to _______.A.Introduce a method of a researchB.Report the latest discovery about a diseaseC.Give advice on how to improve memoryD.Explain how our brain stores informationDHalf off usually unaffordable products? Only $49.99 for that $100. 00 dinner? That’s the magic of Groupon, but for some small business owners the “great business” offered by Groupon can be equal to the kiss of death. H ow could that occur?The math of Groupon seems simple at a glance, but upon further inspection the numbers don’t add up when it comes to smaller businesses. A Groupon typically offers a 50% discount on a product or service, then the remaining profit is divided between Groupon and the small business. While Groupon has already received the profit in advance, the merchant is left waiting for their cut. Those worrying numbers are assuming the price cut is 50/50, which, in some cases, is being generous.When you break it down to numbers, a Groupon deal seems disastrous, but it’s not only the numbers small business owners have to worry about. The point of Groupon deals is to attract new and hopefully long term customers. Yet, does this actually happen? The majority of consumers buying the Groupon are there for the bargain and don’t return after using their Groupon. CFHS Junior Angelita Pope stated, “I love the deals offered by Groupon! They can really save you so much money. ” However, she went on to say that she hadn’t returned once to any of the businesses after using her Groupon.For some small businesses, the pressure lies with the responses of their loyal customers, who watch as new faces get the same product or service for half the price that they have been paying for years. When you break it down, Groupon indicates that the business offering the deal is not only willing to be flexible with their price, but also that their product or service isn’t worth the price they’re charging for. When combining these factors, it’s no wonder loyal customers are put off by the idea of their favorite shop offering Groupons.Now I by no means say Groupon have bad effects on all businesses; however the storm of Groupon is actually a disaster for a small business.32.What is good about Groupon? ________A.It can offer a large discount.B.It helps add up the numbers.C.It can improve the quality of the product.D.It brings small business owners more profit.33.CFHS Junior Angelita Pope’s statement suggests that _______.A.small business owners needn’t worry about dealsB.people like using Groupon in the same businessC.the purpose of Groupon is to promote businessD.Groupon may not bring customers back34.What does the underlined word “they” in Paragraph 4refer to? ________A.New faces. B.Loyal customers.C.Groupon dealers. D.Small businesses.35.What could be the best title for the text? ________A.A new business trend—Groupon dealingB.The development of a Groupon companyC.The effects of Groupon on small businessesD.A fantastic shopping experience—Groupon第二节(共5小题;每小题2分,满分10分)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.选项中有两项为多余选项.You’re growing up.

It can be confusing and even scary. 36 And it’s good!Growing up means that you can do more, learn more, and start to make your mark on the world.

D.Similar.25.The Maasai tribe in Kenya is mentioned to show that in their eyes _______.A.being dirty is stylish B.looking fierce is beautifulC.strong people cut their skin D.American girls love shopping 26.According to the woman interviewed, women in North Korea _______.A.care a lot about their appearance B.put the beauty of eyes in the first placeC.pay great attention to their ability D.are crazy about double eyelid surgery 27.What does the text mainly tell us?A.Inner beauty is of great importance.B.Ideas of beauty vary among culture groups.C.Different ways are needed to admire true beauty.D.Fashion magazines easily influence young people.CPatients in the early stages of Alzheimer’s disease often struggle to remember recently learned information, meaning they forget things like important appointments or where they left their keys. But it seems that these memories are not lost. They are still filed away in the brain somewhere; they just can’t be easily accessed.Now, researchers at MIT have developed a means of getting back memories in mice suffering from Alzheimer’s. The method relies on a technique that uses light to control genet ically modified neurons (转基因神经元). Currently it is too early to be used in human trials as it involves inserting light emitting (发光) equipment into the subjects’ brains, but the same principles still apply, the researchers said.“The important point is that this is evidence of concept. That is, even if a memory seems to be gone, it is still there. It’s a matter of how to get it back,” said senior researcher Susumu Tonegawa.The team took two groups of mice, one genetically engineered to develop Alzheimer’s andone healthy. They then placed them into a room and gave them a mild electric shock. All of the mice showed fear when put back in an hour later. When placed in the room a third time several days later, the Alzheimer’s mice acted normally. They had forg otten the shock.The researchers were then able to bring back the memory of the shock by activating (激活) the cells in which the memories were stored. Even when the mice were put into an unfamiliar room, they showed fear when the cells associated with the shock were activated.“Short-term memory seems to be normal, on the order of hours. But for long-term memory, these early-Alzheimer’s mice seem to be damaged,” said lead researcher Dheeraj Roy. “Directly activating the cells that we believe are holding the memory helps them get it back. This suggests that it is indeed an access problem to the information, not that they’re unable to learn or store this memory.”28.What can we learn about the researchers at MIT?A.They are the pioneers of brain research.B.They have used the method in human trials.C.They can cure Alzheimer’s using the new method.D.They can get back memories in mice with Alzheimer’s.29.Why did t he Alzheimer’s mice behave normally a third time?A.They failed to remember the electric shock.B.They were accustomed to the situation.C.They managed to overcome the fear.D.They activated the association.30.For long-term memory, the early Alzheiher’s m ice _______.A.can activate their blood cells B.can’t learn new tricks wellC.can easily get back their memory D.can’t access the information stored 31.The main purpose of the text is to _______.A.introduce a method of a researchB.report the latest discovery about a diseaseC.give advice on how to improve memoryD.explain how our brain stores informationDHalf off usually unaffordable products? Only $49.99 for that $100.00 dinner? That’s the magic of Groupon, but for some small business owners th e “great business” offered by Groupon can be equal to the kiss of death. How could that occur?The math of Groupon seems simple at a glance, but upon further inspection the numbers don’t add up when it comes to smaller businesses. A Groupon typically offer s a 50% discount on a product or service, then the remaining profit is divided between Groupon and the small business. While Groupon has already received the profit in advance, the merchant is left waiting for their cut. Those worrying numbers are assuming the price cut is 50/50, which, in some cases, is being generous.When you break it down to numbers, a Groupon deal seems disastrous, but it’s not only the numbers small business owners have to worry about. The point of Groupon deals is to attract new and hopefully long term customers. Yet, does this actually happen? The majority of consumers buying the Groupon are there for the bargain and don’t return after using their Groupon. CFHS Junior Angelita Pope stated, “I love the deals offered by Groupon! They can really save you somuch money.” However, she went on to say that she hadn’t returned once to any of the businesses after using her Groupon.For some small businesses, the pressure lies with the responses of their loyal customers, who watch as new faces get the same product or service for half the price that they have been paying for years. When you break it down, Groupon indicates that the business offering the deal is not only willing to be flexible with their price, but also that their product or se rvice isn’t worth the price they’re charging for. When combining these factors, it’s no wonder loyal customers are put off by the idea of their favorite shop offering Groupons.Now I by no means say Groupon have bad effects on all businesses; however the storm of Groupon is actually a disaster for a small business.32.What is good about Groupon?A.It can offer a large discount.B.It helps add up the numbers.C.It can improve the quality of the product.D.It brings small business owners more profit.33.CFHS Junior Angelita Pope’s statement suggests that _______.A.small business owners needn’t worry about dealsB.people like using Groupon in the same businessC.the purpose of Groupon is to promote businessD.Groupon may not bring customers back34.What does the underlined word “they” in Paragraph 4 refer to?A.New faces. B.Loyal customers.C.Groupon dealers. D.Small businesses.35.What could be the best title for the text?A.A new business trend—Groupon dealingB.The development of a Groupon companyC.The effects of Groupon on small businessesD.A fantastic shopping experience—Groupon第二节(共5小题; 每小题2分,满分10分)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。

ABookstores are a traveller's best friend: they provide convenient shelter in bad weather, and they often host readings and other cultural events. Here is a look at world’s six greatest bookstores.Adrian Harrington—since 1971. Rare books; rare first editions; leather bound sets and general antiquarian (古玩). Address: 64A Kensington Church Street, Kensington, London, England, U.K.Another Country—Kreuzberg, Berlin, Germany. Another Country is an English Language second hand bookshop which is mostly used as a library. They have about 20,000 books that you can buy or borrow. Some regular events are held at the shop, such as readings, cultural events, social evenings and film nights.Atlantis Books—Oía, Santorini, Greece. Atlantis Books is an independent bookshop on the island of Santorini, Greece, founded in 2004 by a group of friends from Cyprus, England, and the United States. Throughout the year it has hosted literary festivals, film screenings, book readings, and good old fashioned dance parties.Bart’s Books—Ojai, California, U.S.A. “The World’s Greatest Outdoor Bookstore”, a bookstore founded by Richard Bartinsdale in 1964. Shelves of books face the street, and regular customers are asked to drop coins into the door’s coin box to pay for any books they take whenever the store is closed.10 Corso Como—Milan, Italy. Extensive selection of publication on art, architecture, design, graphics and fashion, along with a strong emphasis on photography. It was founded in 1990 in Milan, Italy, by Carla Sozzani.The Bookworm—A bookshop, library, bar, restaurant and event space, now with four divisions in three cities—Beijing, Suzhou and Chengdu. The interconnecting rooms with floor-to-ceiling books on every wall are light and airy in summer, yet warm and comfortable in winter.1. Which of the following bookstores has the longest history?A. Adrian Harrington.B. Atlantis Books.C. Bart’s Books.D. 10 Como Bookshop.2. What can you do in Atlantis Books?A. Attend a festival.B. Learn photography.C. Enjoy rare books.D. Buy books anytime.3. How is The Bookworm different from the other bookstores?A. It is used as a library.B. It hosts all sorts of activities.C. It focuses on photography.D. It has branches in different cities.【答案】1. C 2. A 3. DBMany young people these days adore the advertised magazine body and become too focused on attaining this image instead of worrying more about what lasts and even grows over time. But could you imagine being considered beautiful for years, and suddenly being ugly after moving to another continent? It is a sad reality that people don’t realize how vacillating the idea of beauty can be from one country to another.Think of the most typical American girl you know. Is she blonde haired with white skin and light eyes, and does she love shopping or sports? Now place this girl in the heart of Africa, a place where beauty is placed on what you can control. The Maasai tribe in Kenya focuses on how clean people are, and how stylish their piercings (穿孔) are. This tribe’s culture is to be a brave fighter, so they will cut their skin with patterns in it to show that they are strong. If you don’t look fierce, you are not beautiful.Other countries like North Korea and South Korea have their own unique views on beauty. In an interview, a woman who has lived in both North and South Korea claims that beauty in North Korea is based more on your ability to be a good woman and wife. She says that women in North Korea are less concerned about fashion and beauty in the physical sense. She says they did have a time when big eyes were a big deal and everyone wanted toget double eyelid surgery. This is something extreme and could perhaps be influenced by Western culture. And the idea of getting surgery done to look more attractive is crazy.4. What does the underlined word “vacillating” in Paragraph 1 probably mean?A. Inconsistent.B. Reasonable.C. Unusual.D. Similar.5. The Maasai tribe in Kenya is mentioned to show that in their eyes _______.A. getting dirty is stylishB. looking fierce is beautifulC. strong people cut their skinD. American girls love shopping6. According to the woman interviewed, women in North Korea now_______.A. care a lot about their appearanceB. put the beauty of eyes in the first placeC. pay great attention to their abilityD. are crazy about double eyelid surgery7. What does the text mainly tell us?A. Inner beauty is of great importance.B. Ideas of beauty vary among culture groups.C. Different ways are needed to admire true beauty.D. Fashion magazines easily influence young people.【答案】4. A 5. B 6. C 7. B7. 主旨大意题。

AThe following four famous paintings—from Jan van Eyck’s portrait to Pablo Picasso’s masterpiece—have stood the test of time.The Arnolfini PortraitJan van Eyck’s Arnolfini Portrait, an oil painting on wood produced in 1434, in which a man and a woman hold hands with a window behind him and a bed behind her, is undoubtedly one of the masterpieces in the National Gallery, London. This painting is not only visually interesting but also famed. It is also an informative document on fifteenth-century society, through Jan van Eyck’s heavy use of symbolism—while husbands went out to engage in business, wives concerned themselves with domestic duties.The Starry NightVincent van Gogh painted The Starry Night, an oil on canvas (油画布), a moderately abstract landscape painting of a night sky over a small hillside village, during his 12-month stay at the mental hospital in Saint-Rémy-de-Provence, France between 1889 and 1890. When the Museum of Modern Art in New York City purchased the painting from a private collector in 1941, it was not well known, but it has since become one ofVincent van Gogh’s most famous works.The HarvestersThe Harvesters is an oil painting on wood completed by Pieter Bruegel the Elder in 1565. It depicts (描绘) the harvest time which most commonly occurred within the months of July and August. Nicolaes Jonghelinck, a merchant banker and art collector from Antwerp, once held this painting. The painting has been at the Metropolitan Museum of Art in New York City since 1919.GuernicaGuernica, a large oil painting, was painted by the Cubist (立体派的) Spanish painter, Pablo Picasso in 1937. The title “Guernica” refers to the city that was bombed during the war. The painting depicts the horrors of war and as a result, has come to be an antiwar symbol and a reminder of the tragedies of war. Today, the painting is housed at the Museo Nacional Centro de Arte Reina Sofia in Madrid.21.Which of the following paintings was produced earliest?A. Guernica.B. The Harvesters.C. The Starry Night.D. The Arnolfini Portrait.22.Who created the painting describing the harvest seasons?A. Pieter Bruegel the Elder.B. Vincent van Gogh.C. Jan van Eyck.D. Pablo Picasso.23.What do we know about the painting The Starry Night?A. It was painted on wood in oils.B. It described the painter’s life in hospital.C. It wasn’t widely recognized before 1941.D. It was given away to the museum by a collector.BAdventure seeker Emma broke her ankle when she fell awkwardly while climbing a rock and spent a week in hospital waiting for an operation on。

ABookstores are a traveller's best friend: they provide convenient shelter in bad weather, and they often host readings and other cultural events. Here is a look at world’s six greatest bookstores.Adrian Harrington—since 1971. Rare books; rare first editions; leather bound sets and general antiquarian (古玩). Address: 64a Kensington Church Street, Kensington, London, England, U.K.Another Country—Kreuzberg, Berlin, Germany. Another Country is an English Language second hand bookshop which is mostly used as a library. They have about 20,000 books that you can buy or borrow. Some regular events are held at the shop, such as readings, cultural events, social evenings and film nights.Atlantis Books—Oía, Santorini, Greece. Atlantis Books is an independent bookshop on the island of Santorini, Greece, founded in 2004 by a group of friends from Cyprus, England, and the United States. Throughout the year it has hosted literary festivals, film screenings, book readings, and good old fashioned dance parties.Bart’s Books—Ojai, California, U.S.A. “The World’s Greatest Outdoor Bookstore”, a bookstore founded by Richard Bartinsdale in 1964. Shelves of books face the street, and regular customers are asked to drop coins into the door’s coin box to pay for any bo oks they take whenever the store is closed.Corso Como Bookshop—Milan, Italy. Extensive selection of publication on art, architecture, design, graphics and fashion, along with a strong emphasis on photography. It was founded in 1990 in Milan, Italy, by Carla Sozzani.The Bookworm—Beijing, China. A bookshop, library, bar, restaurant and event space, now with four divisions in three cities—Beijing, Suzhou and Chengdu. The interconnecting rooms with floor-to-ceiling books on every wall are light and airy in summer, yet warm and comfortable in winter.21.Which of the following bookstores has the longest history?A.Adrian Harrington.

D.Buy books anytime.23.How is The Bookworm different from the other bookstores?A.It is used as a library. B.It hosts all sorts of activities.C.It focuses on photography. D.It has branches in different cities.BMany young people these days adore the advertised magazine body and become too focused on attaining this image instead of worrying more about what lasts and even grows over time. But could you imagine being considered beautiful for years, and suddenly being ugly after moving toanother conti nent? It is a sad reality that people don’t realize how vacillating the idea of beauty can be from one country to another.Think of the most typical American girl you know. Is she blonde haired with white skin and light eyes, and does she love shopping or sports? Now place this girl in the heart of Africa, a place where beauty is placed on what you can control. The Maasai tribe in Kenya focuses on how clean people are, and how stylish their piercings (穿孔) are. This tribe’s culture is to be a brave fighter, so they will cut their skin with patterns in it to show that they are strong. If you don’t look fierce, you are not beautiful.Other countries like North Korea and South Korea have their own unique views on beauty. In an interview, a woman who has lived in both North and South Korea claims that beauty in North Korea is based more on your ability to be a good woman and wife. She says that women in North Korea are less concerned about fashion and beauty in the physical sense. She says they did have a time when big eyes were a big deal and everyone wanted to get double eyelid surgery. This is something extreme and could perhaps be influenced by Western culture. And the idea of getting surgery done to look more attractive is crazy.24.What does the un derlined word “vacillating” in Paragraph 1 probably mean?A.Inconsistent. B.Reasonable. C.Unusual. D.Similar.25.The Maasai tribe in Kenya is mentioned to show that in their eyes _______.A.being dirty is stylish B.looking fierce is beautifulC.strong people cut their skin D.American girls love shopping 26.According to the woman interviewed, women in North Korea _______.A.care a lot about their appearance B.put the beauty of eyes in the first placeC.pay great attention to their ability D.are crazy about double eyelid surgery 27.What does the text mainly tell us?A.Inner beauty is of great importance.B.Ideas of beauty vary among culture groups.C.Different ways are needed to admire true beauty.D.Fashion magazines easily influence young people.CPatients in the early stages of Alzheimer’s disease often struggle to remember recently learned information, meaning they forget things like important appointments or where they left their keys. But it seems that these memories are not lost. They are still filed away in the brain somewhere; they just can’t be easily accessed.Now, researchers at MIT have developed a means of getting back memories in mice suffering from Alzheimer’s. The method relies on a technique that uses light to control genet ically modified neurons (转基因神经元). Currently it is too early to be used in human trials as it involves inserting light emitting (发光) equipment into the subjects’ brains, but the same principles still apply, the researchers said.“The important point is that this is evidence of concept. That is, even if a memory seems to be gone, it is still there. It’s a matter of how to get it back,” said senior researcher Susumu Tonegawa.The team took two groups of mice, one genetically engineered to develop Alzheimer’s and one healthy. They then placed them into a room and gave them a mild electric shock. All of the mice showed fear when put back in an hour later. When placed in the room a third time severaldays later, the Alzheimer’s mice acted normally. They had forg otten the shock.The researchers were then able to bring back the memory of the shock by activating (激活) the cells in which the memories were stored. Even when the mice were put into an unfamiliar room, they showed fear when the cells associated with the shock were activated.“Short-term memory seems to be normal, on the order of hours. But for long-term memory, these early-Alzheimer’s mice seem to be damaged,” said lead researcher Dheeraj Roy. “Directly activating the cells that we believe are holding the memory helps them get it back. This suggests that it is indeed an access problem to the information, not that they’re unable to learn or store this memory.”28.What can we learn about the researchers at MIT?A.They are the pioneers of brain research.B.They have used the method in human trials.C.They can cure Alzheimer’s using the new method.D.They can get back memories in mice with Alzheimer’s.29.Why did t he Alzheimer’s mice behave normally a third time?A.They failed to remember the electric shock.B.They were accustomed to the situation.C.They managed to overcome the fear.D.They activated the association.30.For long-term memory, the early Alzheiher’s m ice _______.A.can activate their blood cells B.can’t learn new tricks wellC.can easily get back their memory D.can’t access the information stored 31.The main purpose of the text is to _______.A.introduce a method of a researchB.report the latest discovery about a diseaseC.give advice on how to improve memoryD.explain how our brain stores informationDHalf off usually unaffordable products? Only $49.99 for that $100.00 dinner? That’s the magic of Groupon, but for some small business owners th e “great business” offered by Groupon can be equal to the kiss of death. How could that occur?The math of Groupon seems simple at a glance, but upon further inspection the numbers don’t add up when it comes to smaller businesses. A Groupon typically offer s a 50% discount on a product or service, then the remaining profit is divided between Groupon and the small business. While Groupon has already received the profit in advance, the merchant is left waiting for their cut. Those worrying numbers are assuming the price cut is 50/50, which, in some cases, is being generous.When you break it down to numbers, a Groupon deal seems disastrous, but it’s not only the numbers small business owners have to worry about. The point of Groupon deals is to attract new and hopefully long term customers. Yet, does this actually happen? The majority of consumers buying the Groupon are there for the bargain and don’t return after using their Groupon. CFHS Junior Angelita Pope stated, “I love the deals offered by Groupon! They can really save you so much money.” However, she went on to say that she hadn’t returned once to any of the businesses after using her Groupon.For some small businesses, the pressure lies with the responses of their loyal customers, who watch as new faces get the same product or service for half the price that they have been paying for years. When you break it down, Groupon indicates that the business offering the deal is not only willing to be flexible with their price, but also that their product or se rvice isn’t worth the price they’re charging for. When combining these factors, it’s no wonder loyal customers are put off by the idea of their favorite shop offering Groupons.Now I by no means say Groupon have bad effects on all businesses; however the storm of Groupon is actually a disaster for a small business.32.What is good about Groupon?A.It can offer a large discount.B.It helps add up the numbers.C.It can improve the quality of the product.D.It brings small business owners more profit.33.CFHS Junior Angelita Pope’s statement suggests that _______.A.small business owners needn’t worry about dealsB.people like using Groupon in the same businessC.the purpose of Groupon is to promote businessD.Groupon may not bring customers back34.What does the underlined word “they” in Paragraph 4 refer to?A.New faces. B.Loyal customers.C.Groupon dealers. D.Small businesses.35.What could be the best title for the text?A.A new business trend—Groupon dealingB.The development of a Groupon companyC.The effects of Groupon on small businessesD.A fantastic shopping experience—Groupon第二节(共5小题; 每小题2分,满分10分)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。
