B．Health. C．Travel. D． Sports.BDo you always forget where you placed your keys or your purse? What was the name of the movie you saw last week? The major cause of your forgetfulness may be linked to what you store in your body, not in your short-term memory bank. Tests continue to show that people with enough Vitamin B2 do well in memory exams. The “B” could stand for “brain”, if you’re one of many with limited instant recall. And the number one source of that vitamin is sunflower seeds.Even when you’re sleeping or relaxing, your brain is still at work. Although it makes up just two percent of your total body weight, it uses up to 30% of the calories you take in each day. For it to work properly, it must be fed. Even if you’re not a breakfast eater, that meal is the best way to prepare your brain for the day. A quick and easy English muffin with peanut and butter in it, a glass of milk, and an orange, might be what your brain may be asking you the first thing in the morning when you feel your head is in a fog. Having sunflower seeds and fruit between meals adds more muscle to that hungry, demanding organ. Vitamin B1 also helps the memory, and that is found in eggs, meat and nuts. In Chinese culture, walnutsare known as the fruit for a long life because it is believed that they feed both the kidneys and the brain. And according to Chinese culture, if you keep those two important organs in good working order, you’ll live longer. However forgetful you are, just keep in mind the letter “B”, which will help you to “bear in mind almost everything” even on those days when life’s challenges are sending you in a billion directions. 24．The underlined word “muffin” in the third paragraph probably means____. A. cookie B. dinner C. calory D. menu25．In the passage, Chinese culture is mentioned to____. A. support the idea of long life B. warn the readers of two organs C. show the importance of Vitamin B1 D. remind us of walnuts and sunflower seeds26．What can we conclude from the passage? A. Two percent of our brain is still active when we are sleeping or relaxing. B. What we eat seems more important than what we learn in terms of memory.C. It doesn’t make much difference to our brain whether we have breakfast or not. D. Life’s challenges have no effect on our memory, if dealt with in a proper way. 舒中高二开学考英语 第3页 （共8页）舒中高二开学考英语 第4页 （共8页）27．The best title for the passage could be____. A. Causes of Memory Loss B. Vitamin B2 and MemoryC. Chinese Culture of Long Life D.Forgetful? But not BrainCThe meaning of silence varies among cultural groups. Silences may be thoughtful, or they may be empty when a person has nothing to say. A silence in conversation may also show stubbornness, uneasiness, or worry. Silence may be viewed by some cultural groups as extremely uncomfortable; therefore attempts may be made to fill every gapwith conversation. Persons in other cultural groups value silence and view it as necessary for understanding a person's needs.Many Native Americans value silence and feel it is a basic part of communicating among people, just as some traditional Chinese and Thai persons do. Therefore, when a person one of these cultures is speaking and suddenly stops, what may be impliedis that the person wants the listener to consider what has been said before continuing. In these cultures, silence is a call for reflection.Other cultures may use silence in other ways, particularly when dealing with different conflicts among people or in relationships of people with different amounts of power. For example, Russian, French, and Spanish persons may use silence to show agreement between parties about the topic under discussion. However, Mexicans may use silence when instructions are given by a person in authority rather than be rude to that person by arguing with him or her. In still another use, persons in Asian cultures may view silence as a sign of respect, particularly to an elder or a person in authority.Nurses and other care-givers need to be aware of the possible meanings of silence when they come across the personal anxiety their patients may be experiencing. Nurses should recognize their own personal and cultural construction of silence so that a patient's silence is not interrupted too early or allowed to go on unnecessarily. A nurse who understands the healingvalue of silence can use this understanding to assist in the care of patients from their own and from other cultures.28．What does the author say about silence in conversations?A．It is culture-specific. B．It develops friendship.C．It implies anger. D． It is content-based.29．Which of the following people might regard silence as a call for careful thought?A．The French. B．The Chinese.C．The Russians. D．The Mexicans.30．What does the author advise nurses to do about silence?A．Let it continue as the patient pleases.B．Make use of its healing effects.C．Break it while treating patients.D．Evaluateits harm to patients.31．What may be the best title for the text?A．Speech Is Silver, Silence Is Gold.B．Silence to Native Americans.C．What It Means to Be Silent.D．Sound and Silence.DThe popular smartphone application Instagram has changed the way we look at photography, even our world. The photo-worthy moments we share serve as an important function in cultivating the photographic artistic eye. Instagram has got people to start noticing the art in their everyday life. It has also allowed us to share the artful moments in our lives with others. Clearly, making people focus on beautiful moments in their lives and how to share them is a positive takeaway from Instagram. Not only has Instagram changed the way we look at things around us, but it has also changed the way people view professional photography. Instagram has turned everyone with a smartphone into an artist. Opening up art to the general community is a groundbreaking aspect of this application. Making artistic attempts accessible for everyone to discover their artistic talents and explore creatively is something that has made people find the beauty in the everyday life. However, this accessibility has also created questioning around art and respect deserved by professional photography. The art in a professional photograph versus an Instagram can sometimes be hard to notice at a quick glance. But photographs taken by true professional photographers hold something that Instagram’s cannot match in terms of photographic quality, or advanced compositional knowledge.This is not to say Instagram is a lesser art. Aesthetic qualities of art are a personal matter and how good an artwork is depends on personal preferences. Good is a very arbitrary term in the art world. For example, I may find one photo more pleasing than another, but not everyone has to agree with me. The point I am trying to make is that professional photography should not be lost, but instead approached with a new, enhanced level of respect and admiration — despite how accessible, common and fun Instagram now makes the taking and sharing of photos.32．What does the writer mainly tell us in the passage?A. The changes that Instagram brings us. B. The increasing popularity of Instagram. C. The advantages and disadvantages of Instagram.D. The differences between Instagram and professional photography.33．What can the smartphone application Instagram do?A. Help people to discover true self. B. Encourage people to be more competitive. C. Inspire people to find the beauty in life. D. Let people gain others’ respect and admiration.34．Why do people begin to doubt the art of professional photography?A. Because they show no respect for professional photographers. B. Because common people can take perfect photos easily.C. Because the artistic level of professional photography is reducing.D. Because Instagram has changed the way people look at the world. 35．What does the writer think of professional photography?A. Absurd. B. Valueless. C. Helpless. D. Useful. 第二节七选五（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)Body language is a form of communication without using words. 36 This means that the person using body language is not fully aware that they are using it. Some psychologists say that body language actually communicates more information than using words.37 Human beings seem to know about other people by nature through their body language even when they speak a different verbal language. It is likely that in human prehistory, body language was an important survival skill that helped us to display and tell the difference between threats and safety.舒中高二开学考英语 第5页 （共8页）舒中高二开学考英语 第6页 （共8页）Body language can communicate negative emotions. When a listener crosses their arms against their chest, it can mean disagreement with the speaker. This can also be indicated when a listener leans away from the speaker.   38 It can also mean disbelief. Positive feelings are often shown through facial expressions, eye contact, and gestures.39When a person looks in another person’s eyes and then down at their lips, it usually means they have romantic feelings for the speaker. Standing or sitting straight with good gesture shows that a listener is taking the person’s speech seriously.40 When a person is lying, they tend to touch their face during the conversation. They may also blinktoo much or not blink at all.  Body language can reveal a lot about people but it’s important to remember that everyone’s body language is a little different, so learning to properly “read” information through body language can be helpful in interpersonal communication.
