第一节（共15小题；每小题2.5分，满分37.5分）
阅读下列短文，从每题所给的A、B、C、D四个选项中选出最佳选项。
A
Science may never know what memories play on the mind of the California sea hare，a foot-long marine snail，when it eats algae—a sea plant—in the tide pools of the Pacific coast.
But in a new study，researchers claim to have made headway in understanding the simplest kind of memory a creature might form.
David Glanzman, a neurobiologist at the University of California，believes the kinds of memories that trigger a defensive reaction in the snail are encoded not in the connections between brain cells，as many scientists would argue，but in RNA molecules （分子） that form part of an organism’s genetic machinery.
In an experiment to test the idea，Glanzman implanted wire into the tails of California sea hares，and gave them a series of electrical shocks. The procedure sensitized the animals so that when they were prodded （戳） in a fleshy spout called a siphon，they contracted their gills （鳃状呼吸器官） in a strong defensive action.
After sensitizing the sea snails，Glanzman extracted RNA from the animals and injected it into other sea snails to see what happened. He found the recipient sea snails became sensitized，suggesting the “memory” of the electrical shocks had been transplanted. When Glanzman repeated the experiment with RNA from sea snails that had been hooked up to wires but not shocked，the reaction behavior did not transfer.
Despite the result，the work has not found widespread acceptance. “Obviously further work needs to be carried out to determine whether these changes can happen without failure in a wide range of conditions，” said Prof Sherilynn Vann，who studies memory at Cardiff University. “While the sea hare is a fantastic model for studying basic neuroscience，we must be very cautious in drawing comparisons to human memory processes.”
Tomas Ryan，who studies memory at Trinity College Dublin，is firmly unconvinced. “It’s interesting，but I don’t think they’ve transferred a memory，” he said. “This work tells me that maybe the most basic behavioral responses involve some kind of switch in the animal and there is something in the liquid that Glanzman extracts that is hitting that switch.”
But Ryan added that different thinking about memory was badly needed： “In a field like this which is so full of accepted beliefs，we need as many new ideas as possible. This work takes us down an interesting road，but I have a huge amount of skepticism about it.”
21. Why were the sea hares given electrical shocks？
A. To rob them of their memory. B. To see how they defend themselves.
C. To break the connection between nerves. D. To make them sensitive to external stimulations.
22. What conclusion may Glanzman draw from the experiment？
A. Memory can be encoded and changed by people.
B. Only with strong stimulation can see snails form reaction.
C. The memory giving rise to sea snail’s sensitization is held in RNA.
D. The sea snail’s defense is probably enabled by connectivity of brain cells.
23. According to the passage，the limitations of Glanzman’s experiment involve the following EXCEPT 　 　.
A. The recipient sea snail’s response may require further confirmation.
B. Variables （变量） in the experiments may not have remained the same.
C. Something else other than RNA in the extract may lead to the recipient’s reaction.
D. The sea snail “memory transplant” may not apply to more complex memory process.
24. The underlined word “skepticism” in the last paragraph is closest in meaning to 　 　.
A. criticism B. doubt C. relief D. optimism
B
It is interesting to see that the force of only 6 or 7 people pushing in the same direction can cause up to 1,000 pounds of force—enough to break brick walls.During a deadly stampede(奔逃)，people can even die standing up.People die when pressure is put to their bodies in a front to back direction，causing them not to be able to breathe.
If you are in a crowd，the first and most important thing is to make yourself familiar with your surroundings and find different exits.No matter where you are，make sure you always know how to get out.
Make yourself aware of the type of the ground you are standing on，and know that in a crowd of moving people wet ground can cause you to fall.
When in danger，a few seconds can make a difference，giving you the possibility of making use of your escaping route.Always stay closer to the escape route.If you find yourself in the middle of a moving crowd，do not fight against the pressure，do not stand still or sit down，because you can easily get trampled(踩踏)．Instead，move in the same direction of the crowd；make use of any space that may open up to move sideways to the crowd movement where the flow is weaker.
Keep your hands up by your chest，like a boxer—it gives you movement and protects your chest.If you fall，get up quickly.If you can’t get up because you are injured，get someone to pull you up.If you have kids，lift them up.
If you fall and cannot get up，keep moving in the same direction of the crowd，or if that is not possible，then cover your head with your arms；do not lie on your stomach or back.
25. In a stampede people may die standing up mainly because .
A. they can’t breathe freely B. they push in the same direction
C. they are not able to get up D. they aren’t familiar with the surroundings
26. When in danger，to make a difference，you should .
A. fight against the pressure B. stand still where you are
C. sit down covering your head D. move along the escape route
27. In the passage the writer mainly wants to tell us .
A. how to stay far away from a crowd B. what to do when you are in a crowd
C. where to go when you are in danger D. how to get along with a big crowd

One of the most famous buildings in the United States is Carnegie Hall，the home of classical and popular music concerts in New York.Carnegie Hall is known not just for its beauty and history，but also for its amazing sound.It has been said that the hall itself is an instrument.It takes the music and makes it larger than life.
Carnegie Hall is named after Andrew Carnegie，who paid for its construction.Construction of Carnegie Hall began in 1890 and the official opening night was on May 5,1891.
The hall was owned by the Carnegie family until 1924 when it was sold to Robert E．Simon.The building became very old and in 1960，the new owner made plans to destroy it and build an office block.Isaac Stern led a group of people to save Carnegie Hall and finally，the city of New York bought it for $5 million.It was then fixed up between 1983 and 1995.
Advertisements and stories in newspapers about how Carnegie Hall needed help to recover its history led people to send in old concert programs and information from all over the world.Over 12,000 concert programs were received and with these it was possible to make a proper record of Carnegie Hall’s concert history.
Carnegie Hall is actually made up of several different halls，but the Main Hall，now called the Isaac Stern Hall，is the most famous.The hall itself can hold an audience of 2,804 in five levels of seating.
Because the best and most famous musicians of all time have played at Carnegie Hall，it is the dream of most musicians who want to be great to play there.This has led to a very old joke which is now part of Carnegie Hall’s history.Question：“How do I get to Carnegie Hall？” Answer：“Practise，practise，practise.”
28. It can be inferred that people wanted to save Carnegie Hall mainly because .
A. it made a lot of money B. it was worth visiting
C. many important concerts were held in it D. it made some musicians become famous
29. How did Carnegie Hall recover its concert history
A. Through newspaper reports. B. Through old concert programs.
C. Through old photographs. D. Through old jokes.
30. Why is the Carnegie Hall joke funny
A. Because you expect the answer to be directions but not advice.
B. Because Carnegie Hall is a place where musicians practise a lot.
C. Because it is difficult to find your way to Carnegie Hall.
D. Because you don’t expect the answer to repeat the same word three times.
31. Which of the following would be the best title for the text
A. The History of Carnegie Hall B. The Best Musician Having Played in Carnegie Hall
C. A Joke About Carnegie Hall D. The Dream of Most Musicians
D
One of my wonderful memories is about a Christmas gift. Unlike other gifts，it came without wrap.
On September 11th,1958，Mum gave birth to Richard. After she brought him home from hospital，she put him in my lap，saying，“I promised you a gift，and here it is. ” What an honor! I turned four a month earlier and none of my friends had such a baby doll of their own. I played with it day and night. I sang to it. I told it stories. I told it over and over how much I loved it!
One morning，however，I found its bed empty. My doll was gone! I cried for it. Mum wept and told me that the poor little thing had been sent to a hospital. It had a fever. For several days，I heard Mum and Dad whispering such words as “hopeless”，“pitiful”，and “dying”，which sounded ominous.
Christmas was coming. “Don’t expect any presents this year，” Dad said，pointing at the socks I hung in the living room. “If your baby brother lives，that’ll be Christmas enough. ” As he spoke，his eyes were filled with tears. I’d never seen him cry before.
The phone rang early on Christmas morning. Dad jumped out of bed to answer it. From my bedroom I heard him say，“What？He’s all right？” He hung up and shouted upstairs，“The hospital said we can bring Richard home！”
“Thank God！” I heard Mum cry.
From the upstairs window，I watched my parents rush out to the car. I had never seen them so happy. And I was also full of joy. What a wonderful day! My baby doll would be home. I ran downstairs. My socks still hung there flat. But I knew they were not empty；they were filled with love!

When Jessica and her husband Edward welcomed their first child, they quickly understood that parenting would not be easy.Edward owned a textile(纺织品) business in Texas，but it was struggling.With a baby at home now, expenses went up, while income stayed the same or even went down in some months.There was constantly a lack of money.
Luckily, Edward’s business grew slowly, and Jessica managed to save some money.But just when it appeared that they would be having a less stressful month, another problem knocked at their door：the washing machine broke down again.
After considering her options, Jessica realized that there was no point in getting the machine repaired.Jessica sat down to search online for a machine that she could afford.An hour of searching led her to one good find, but it cost $250, and Jessica could only afford to pay $150.In the end, she decided to see the owner James in person.
Upon arrival，a man opened the door.There was sadness in his eyes.“ How may I help you ” he asked.“Hi! I’m Jessica.I messaged you regarding the washing machine.Can I have a look at it ”“Oh，e in，” James said.It seemed that the man was planning to move away.
“Well, I hope you remember I said I wanted to talk about the price，” Jessica said embarrassedly.“I can’t extend my budget beyond $150.We just had a baby, and you know things are not so well financially, so I am wondering if you could give me a discount？”
James stood there silently for a while.The woman’s sincere request made him think about his wife again，who had just passed away.He remembered she once told him that if he had the resources，he should help those who are less fortunate.Then he nodded his head in agreement.“Sure.$150 sounds like a good deal to me，” he said.Jessica’s eyes widened in surprise.“Really You are so nice.Thank you so much！”

【解析】根据上句“Things such as meeting and speaking to new people, keeping and eye on the time, and being organized are things you will use every single day of your lives.
