•Save time - your card is ready to use as soon as you arrive in London.
•It’s more than 50% cheaper than buying a paper travel card or single tickets with cash.
•There is a daily price cap - once you have reached this limit, you won’t pay any more.

Last year I ruined my summer vacation by bringing along a modem convenience that was too convenient for my own good: the iPad. Instead of looking at nature, I checked my email. Instead of paddling a small boat, I followed my Twitter feed. Instead of reading great novels, I stuck to reading four newspapers each morning. I was behaving as if I were still in the office. My body was on vacation but my head wasn’t.
So this year I made up my mind to try something different: withdrawal from the Internet. I knew it wouldn’t be easy since I’m bad at self-control. But I was determined. I started by giving the iPad to my wife.
The cellphone signal at our house was worse than in the past, making my attempts at cheating an experience in frustration. I was trapped, forced to go through with my plan. Largely cut off from e-mail, Twitter and my favorite newspaper websites, I had few ways to connect to the world except for radio and how much radio can one listen to, really? I had to do what I had planned to all along: read books.
This experience has had a happy ending. With determination and the strong support of my wife, I won in my vacation struggle against the Internet, realizing finally that it was I, not the iPad, that was the problem. I knew I had won when we passed a Starbucks and my wife asked if I wanted to stop to use the Wi-Fi. “I don’t need it,” I said.
However, as we return to post-vacation life, a harder test begins: Can I continue when I’m back to work? There are times when the need to know what’s being said right now is great. And I have no intention of giving up my convenience completely. But I hope to resist the temptation(诱惑)to check my e-mail every five minutes, which leads to checking my Twitter feed and a website or two.
I think a vacation is supposed to help you reset your brain to become more productive. Here I hope this one worked.
4. What do we know about the author’s last summer vacation?
A. He was determined to enjoy the beautiful view.
B. He felt satisfied that he had stuck to his usual timetable.
C. He hated himself for acting as if he were at work on vacation.
D. His iPad ruined his plan of finishing a great novel.
5. What did the author do to keep away from the Internet this year?

D. He listened to the radio most of the time.
6. When back to work, the author will probably choose to______.

Losing weight comes with a lot of health benefits-including making your brain sharper.
Yes, it turns out that overweight may damage cognitive functions such as memory and attention. There have been few studies of overweight and cognitive functioning, possibly because it is generally believed that it is not a primary risk cause for poor cognitive performance. Losing weight, therefore, may help improve these mental functions, according to a new research led by John Gunstad, assistant professor of psychology at Kent State University.
Growing evidence suggests that being fat is linked to cognitive deficits (缺陷). So Gunstad and his team guessed that losing weight might improve mental function. For their study, they measured memory and attention in a group of 150 overweight participants, some of whom had some kind of operation for weight loss and some did not. All of the volunteers completed mental skills tests to assess their abilities of memory and attention at the beginning of the study, and again 12 weeks later. To begin with, about 24% of the patients showed damaged learning and 23% showed signs of poor memory when tested. At the end of the study, those who had lost weight after operation improved their scores into the average or above average range for cognitive functions. Scores for the volunteers who didn’t lose weight dropped even further.
The study helped Gunstad to find out whether losing weight had any effect on mental function. Now that he’s seen the positive effect that weight loss can have on memory and attention, he says he will next study those who choose to lose weight by the traditional way—eating healthier and getting more active. He expects that losing weight in this way will have a similarly positive effect on the brain. “If we can improve the condition with operations, then we can probably produce the same change with behavioral weight loss as well,” he says.
8. There is less research on overweight and cognitive functions because researchers _____.
A. believe overweight only affects our body
B. have focused on ways to sharpen people’s mind
C. do not consider overweight a main cause for low cognitive ability
D. are clear about the relation between weight and mental functions
9. The result of Gunstad’s study shows that ______.
A. losing weight has little effect on people’s memory
B. losing weight can improve people’s mental functions
C. overweight people are likely to have psychology problems
D. overweight people’s abilities of concentration differ greatly
10. What is Gunstad planning to prove next in his research?
A. Slim people are smarter than overweight people.
B. Healthy diet is better than exercise in losing weight.
C. Traditional ways of losing weight are better than operation.
D Overweight people will get smarter by taking more exercise.
11. Which of the following is the best title for the text?
A. Body Weight and Health B. Losing Weight by Operation
C. Ways to Improve Mental Functions D. Losing Weight to Sharpen Your Mind
【答案】8. C 9. B 10. D 11. D
【解析】
【导语】本文一篇说明文。文章介绍了减肥可以让你的大脑更敏锐。
【8题详解】
细节理解题。根据第二段中“There have been few studies of overweight and cognitive functioning, possibly because it is generally believed that it is not a primary risk cause for poor cognitive performance.（很少有关于超重和认知功能的研究，可能是因为人们普遍认为超重不是导致认知能力低下的主要原因。）”可知，人们在此之前很少研究肥胖和认知功能之间存在关系的原因是人们没有认为肥胖是导致认知功能下降的基本原因，故选C。
【9题详解】
细节理解题。根据文章第二段中“Losing weight, therefore, may help improve these mental functions, according to a new research led by John Gunstad, assistant professor of psychology at Kent State University.（因此，根据John Gunstad领导的一项新研究表明，减肥可能有助于改善这些心智功能。）”可知，减肥可以改善心智功能，故选B。
【10题详解】
推理判断题。根据文章最后一段“Now that he’s seen the positive effect that weight loss can have on memory and attention, he says he will next study those who choose to lose weight by the traditional way—eating healthier and getting more active. He expects that losing weight in this way will have a similarly positive effect on the brain.（现在他看到了减肥对记忆力和注意力的积极影响，他说他下一步将研究那些选择用传统方式减肥的人——饮食更健康、更活跃（更爱运动）。他认为这种减肥方式对大脑也有类似的积极影响。）”可知，他在接下来要研究那些通过锻炼和健康饮食减肥的人们，看是否健康减肥也存在这种对大脑的积极影响，即：超重的人是否会通过多运动变得更聪明，故选D。
【11题详解】
主旨大意题。结合文章第一段提出“Losing weight comes with a lot of health benefits-including making your brain sharper.（减肥对健康有很多好处，包括使你的大脑更敏锐。）”以及后文对这项研究进行详细介绍，可知D项“减肥可以让你的大脑更敏锐”为本文最佳标题，故选D。
D
A study of violinists found that merely good players practised as much as better players, leaving other factors such as quality of education, learning skills and perhaps natural talent to account for the difference.
This finding challenges the 10, 000-hour rule promoted in Malcolm Gladwell’s 1993 study of violinists and pianists. Gladwell states that enough practice will make an expert of anyone. “The idea has been popular and entrenched in our culture for years. It’s not an idiom but an overstatement,” said Brooke Macnamara, the lead author. “When it comes to human skill, a complex combination of environmental factors and genetic factors explains the performance differences across people.”
Macnamara and her colleagues set out to repeat part of the 1993 study to see whether they reached the same conclusion. They interviewed three groups of 13 violinists regarded as best, good, or less accomplished about their practice habits, before having them complete daily diaries of their activities over a week. While the less skillful violinists reached an average of about 6,000 hours of practice by the age of 20, there was little to separate the good from the best, with each reaching an average of about 11,000 hours. In all, the number of hours spent practising accounted for about a quarter of the skill difference across the three groups.
Macnamara believes practice is less of a driver. “Once you get to the highly skilled groups, practice stops accounting for the difference. Everyone has practised a lot and other factors are at play in determining who goes on to a higher level,” she said. “The factors depend on the skill being learned: in chess it could be intelligence or working memory; in sport it may be how efficiently a person uses oxygen. To complicate matters further, one factor can drive another. Children who enjoy playing the violin, for example, may be happy to practise because they do not see it as a trouble.”
The authors of the 1993 study are unimpressed. Macnamara said it was important for people to understand the limits of practice, though. “Practice makes you better than you were yesterday, most of the time,” she said. “But it might not make you better than your neighhour or the other kid in your violin class.”
12. What does the underlined word “entrenched” in paragraph 2 probably mean?
A. Rooted. B. Advanced. C. Changed. D. Unconfirmed.
13. What can we learn about Macnamara’s study?
A. It convinced Malcolm Gladwell. B. It involved violinists and pianists.
C. Its process was similar to the 1993 study. D. Its result is consistent with the 1993 study.
14. What does Macnamara find about highly skilled people?
A. Practicing for 11,000 hours is their main driver.
B. They enjoy keeping diaries about their progress.
C. Environmental factors have little relation to their success.
D. More practice makes little difference to their further progress.
15. What is the best title for the text?
A. What makes an expert? B. Does practice make perfect?
C. The early bird catches the worm D. Enthusiasm is the key to success
【答案】12. A 13. C 14. D 15. B
【解析】
【分析】这是一篇议论文。文章说明了优秀的人的成就是多种因素造成的结果，并对练习的重要性进行了更深层次的探讨。
【12题详解】
词句猜测题。第二段划线词句的上一句“Gladwell states that enough practice will make an expert of anyone.(Gladwell指出，足够多的练习将使任何人成为专家。)”中 Gladwell提出了谚语“Practice makes perfect”的观点，再根据划线词句“The idea has been popular and entrenched in our culture for years.(多年来，这个观点已经很流行，并在我们的文化中entrenched。)”可知，划线单词和前文中的“popular”并列，说明这个传统观点广泛流传并在文化中“基础深厚”，结合选项可知，选项A“根深蒂固的”与之意义最为接近，故选A项。
【13题详解】
推理判断题。根据第三段中“Macnamara and her colleagues set out to repeat part of the 1993 study to see whether they reached the same conclusion.( Macnamara和她的同事重复了1993年的部分研究，看看他们是否能得出相同的结论。)”可知，Macnamara做的实验过程和1993年做的实验是相似的。故选C项。
【14题详解】
推理判断题。根据第四段中“Macnamara believes practice is less of a driver.( Macnamara认为，练习并不是唯一的驱动因素。)”以及她所说的“Once you get to the highly skilled groups, practice stops accounting for the difference. Everyone has practised a lot and other factors are at play in determining who goes on to a higher level.(一旦你进入了高技能人群，练习就不能解释这种差异了。每个人都做了很多练习，其他因素在决定谁能上更高的水平上起作用)”可推知，Macnamara认为更多练习对高技能的人的进一步继续进步没有多大影响。故选D项。
【15题详解】
主旨大意题。通读全文，根据第一段“A study of violinists found that merely good players practised as much as better players, leaving other factors such as quality of education, learning skills and perhaps natural talent to account for the difference.(一项对小提琴家的研究发现，优秀的小提琴手和更优秀的小提琴手仅仅是练习的次数一样多，这时，其他因素，如教育质量、学习技巧，也许还有天生的天赋，就是造成这种差异的原因。)”可知，本文主要说明优秀的人成就是多因素的结果，并对练习的重要性进行了更深层次的说明。选项B“熟能生巧（练习能至完美）吗？”对这一流行的观点进行进一步的探讨，突出主题，适合做标题。故选B项。
