A
I like reading those interesting stories behind those great logos in the world, which made me forget all other things. Personally Nike is my favorite one—it’s so simple. McDonald’s, Apple, Mercedes Benz and Adidas own great logos as well and they are among my favorites.
Nike
    In the Greek myth (神话), Nike is the goddess of victory and the source of inspiration for soldiers. This logo represents the wing in the famous statue of the Greek goddess. Nike’s logo was designed by Carolyn Davidson in 1971 for $ 35, and was registered as a trademark in 1995.

McDonald’s
The logo was designed in 1962 by Jim Schindler to resemble the arch-shaped signs on the side of the company’s then walk-up hamburger stand. Later on, the two golden arches were combined together to form the M. The McDonald’s name was added to the logo in 1968.


Apple
    There are different stories behind Apple’s logo. The first logo was a reference to the religious story of Adam and Eve, in which the apple represented the fruit of the Tree of Knowledge. One year later, the second logo was designed in 1977 by Steve Jobs and Ronald Wayne, and it described Sir Isaac Newton sitting under an apple tree. This logo didn’t stay long. One year later it was replaced almost immediately by graphic designer Rob Janoff’s “rainbow apple”, a rainbow-colored silhouette (轮廓) of an apple with a bite taken out of it. And then the rainbow-colored apple was replaced by the one-colored logo in 1998. It has not been changed so far.

Mercedes Benz
The Mercedes Benz logo, which was originally created by Gottlieb Daimler in 1909, consists of a simple description of a three-pointed star that represents its rule of the land, the sea and the air. The company was founded by Gottlieb Daimler and Wilhelm Maybach. Mercedes is the name of Maybach’s elder daughter, while Benz came as a result of a combination with Benz, Cie and DMG in 1926.

Adidas    
The Adidas logo, which was created by the founder of the company Adi Dassler, represents mountains, pointing towards the challenges that are seen ahead and goals that can be achieved. The logo was used for the first time in 1967.

21. Which of the following logo might appear first according to the text?
A. B. C. D.


22. Which company’s logo may be related with some mythic sense?
A. Nike.
B. McDonald’s.
C. Mercedes Benz.
D. Apple.
23. How many times has the Apple’s logo been revised in its history?
A. 5.
B. 4.
C. 3.
D. 2.
B
Until recently, scientists believed memories were first stored in the hippocampus (海马体) then gradually “transferred” to the cortex (大脑皮层) for long-term storage. However, a new study
conducted by the Riken—MIT Center for Neural Circuit Genetics challenges this theory, suggesting that memories are stored in the hippocampus and Cortex at the same time, but remain “silent” in the cortex for about two weeks before reaching a mature state.
Scientists have assumed that the engram (记忆印痕) cells in the cortex that store memory were produced slowly. “The cells actually develop rapidly,” said Takashi Kitamura, a lead author of the study.
The past theory that short-term memories in the hippocampus transfer to long-term memories in the cortex was developed in the 1970s, when a patient named Henry Molaison experienced a damaged hippocampus, and he lost his ability to make new memories.
Until recently, scientists lacked a reliable way to test memory consolidation (实变) theory, Kitamura explained. “Most previous studies of memory were based on analyzing how damage to certain brain areas affects memory”, he said. In 2016, when Tonegawa Laboratory, a research lab at MIT, developed a way to label engram cells, opening the door to new ways to test memory consolidation theory.
Researchers used some mice during the experiment. A day after the mice received an electric shock. Its memories of the fear-causing event were stored in engram cells in both the hippocampus and the cortex. The engram cells in the cortex, however, remained silent. These cells did slight behavior when artificially awakened by light. Furthermore, when the connection between the hippocampus and cortex was blocked, long-term memory was unable to mature.
Researchers discovered that memory engram cells naturally change their status from active to silent and from silent to active. “If we identify the principles behind how silent memory can be active, we may find a treatment for amnesia (失忆症)”, Kitamura said.
24. In which aspect does the new study differ from previous studies according to the text?
A. The research subject.
B. The research method.
C. Their reliability.
D. Their application.
25. What can be inferred about engram cells in the text?
A. They only exist in the hippocampus.
B. They only exist in the cortex.
C. They are carriers of memories.
D. They keep stable in status.
26. What is the key to the treatment for amnesia?
A. To know the principles of engram cells’ status change.
B. To identify the bridge between hippocampus and cortex.
C. To wake up the silent memory in hippocampus.
D. To remove the active memory in the cortex.
27. What does the text mainly tell us?
A. How memories are stored.
B. What a new study has found.
C. How memory engram cells work.
D. What is the future to cure amnesia.
C
A few weeks ago, I called an Uber to take me to the Boston airport for a flight home for the holidays. As I slid into the back seat of the car, the warm intonations (语调) of the driver’s accent washed over me in a familiar way.
I learned that he was a recent West African immigrant with a few young children, working hard to provide for his family. I could relate: I am the daughter of two Ethiopians who made their share of sacrifices (奉献) to ensure my success. I told him I was on a college break and headed home to visit my parents. That’s how he found out I go to Harvard. An approving eye glinted at me in the rearview window, and quickly, we crossed the boundaries of rider and driver. I became his daughter, all grown up — the product of his sacrifice.
And then came the fateful question: “What do you study?” I answered “history and literature” and the pride in his voice faded, as I knew it might. I didn’t even get to add “and African-American studies” before he cut in, his voice thick with disappointment, “All that work to get into Harvard, and you study history?”
Here I was, his daughter, squandering the biggest opportunity of her life. He went on to deliver the age-old lecture that all immigrant kids know. We are to become doctors (or lawyers, if our parents are being generous) — to make money and send money back home. The unspoken demand, made across generations, which my Uber driver laid out plainly, is simple: Fulfill your role in the narrative (故事) of upward mobility so your children can do the same.
I used to feel anxious and backed into a corner by the questioning, but now as a junior in college, I’m grateful for their support more than anything. This holiday season, I’ve promised myself I won’t huff and get annoyed at their inquiries. I won’t defensively respond with “but I plan to go to law school!” When I get unrequested advice, I’ll just smile and nod, and enjoy the warmth of the occasion.
28. What can be inferred from Paragraph 1 and 2?
A. Both the driver and “I” were African immigrants.
B. The driver had sacrificed to ensure “my” success.
C. The driver had a daughter who was in Harvard.
D. The driver and “I” were from the same country.
29. Which of the following can replace the underlined word “squandering” in the text?
A. Creating.
B. Ruining.
C. Treasuring.
D. Obtaining.
30. What is the unspoken demand made on immigrant kids?
A. To fulfill the role as a parent.
B. To help their motherlands.
C. To move upward in society.
D. To become doctors or lawyers.
31. What is “my” attitude towards the questioning now?
A. Anxious.
B. Annoyed.
C. Defensive.
D. Appreciative.
D
Everyone wants to win, and everybody knows it. Take the case of Olympic athletes, who train hard each day for years to reach the top of their sport and hopefully win a gold medal. Since every competitor’s goal is to win, we assume that the silver medalists would be less happy than gold-medal winners, but still happier than those in third place. Common sense says that our levels of happiness should have something to do with our levels of achievement—except that often this isn’t the case.
Researchers found that bronze medalists actually appeared on the whole to be happier than silver medalists. How could that be? The answer, in a word, is gratitude. Silver medalists, who compared themselves to the gold medalists, experienced disappointment at having been close to winning the gold, but falling short. The bronze medalists, on the other hand, were thankful to have won a medal at all, comparing themselves to all those who didn’t even reach the Olympic platform．
If happiness, then, is the aim of life, perhaps our achievement-centered culture is getting it all backwards. We focus on what we want rather than on what we have. We forget to be grateful, and as a result we forget to be happy．
We’re from a culture that teaches us to envy others—another person’s achievements—and that is always looking forward to what comes next. Yet in a better society, might we not look at what all of our earlier nexts have already earned us?
I encourage any person who struggles with frustration (挫折) in their life to take out a notebook and a pen each evening before bed, and to write down all the things that they have gratitude for. It’s not a cure for dissatisfaction, to be sure, but many people quickly discover that, when they actually stop to think about it, they have things pretty good and happiness comes.
Those bronze medalists, after all, can’t be wrong．
32. What does “this” underlined in Paragraph 1 refer to?
A. Happiness relies on achievements.
B. Happiness comes from gratitude.
C. Silver winners are the happiest.
D. Gold medalists are the happiest.
33. What is the reason why silver medalists often experience upset according to the text？
A. Their self-satisfaction.
B. Their dissatisfaction.
C. Their Gratitude.
D. Their character.
34. What is to blame for our dissatisfaction in life according to the text?
A. Our achievement-centered culture.
B. Our struggles with life frustration.
C. The lack of real winnings in our life.
D. The habit of expressing gratefulness.
35. What of the following can be the best title of the text?
A. The Key to Happiness
B. Medals and Happiness
C. Gratitude and Happiness
D. Happiness from Achievements

Dear Miss Brown, boys and girls,
Today we gather here to have a send-off meeting. Our English teacher Miss Brown was going to return to her own country tomorrow. On behalf of all my schoolmates as well as myself I express their hearty thanks to her. In the past two years Miss Brown has taught us writing English. We enjoyed her lessons very much because of her method of teaching was quite different from other. That she gave us in the lessons was both lively and interestingly.
