A
Margaret Ann Bulkley was born around 1789, in Ireland. She had big dreams. “I want to be a doctor!” But two hundred years ago a girl couldn’t become a doctor. Her uncle, James Barry, was a great painter. And his friend General Miranda had a library with more than 6,000 books. Margaret loved reading there. Her intelligence impressed him. Years later, her uncle James Barry died, leaving her some money. It was enough to study to be a doctor. “But a girl can’t become a doctor,” said Margaret sadly.
“Yes, you can!” said General Miranda. “All you have to do is to disguise as a boy.” Margaret really wanted to be a doctor. So she cut off her long hair, practiced speaking in a deep voice, and put on boy’s clothes. She also named herself James Barry. From then on, Margaret Ann Bulkley disappeared. She became James Barry and entered Edinburgh University. He took 13 subjects and worked all through the summer when the other students went on holiday.
Barry graduated in 1812 and decided to join the British Army. In his life, Dr. James Barry travelled all over the world, helping to save many lives. Before retirement, Barry had risen to the second highest medical officer in the British Army. Barry improved the conditions for not only wounded soldiers but also the local people, and performed the first recorded successful caesarean section (剖宫产) in Africa.

Do Dogs Dream?
Unlike cartoon images, real dogs don’t speak and describe their sleep. So you may wonder: do dogs dream like their owners?
A scientific research conducted at MIT found that during sleep, brains of humans and dogs function in a similar manner. When you or your dog first falls asleep, you experience SWS—slow wave sleep—when the brain waves are slow but muscles are still active. Later, a deeper stage of sleep occurs. This stage is called REM sleep—rapid eye movements sleep. During REM, muscles are more relaxed but the mind is more active. It was proved that both humans and dogs experience these two stages of the sleep cycle. Since we know that humans dream, it is safe to conclude that dogs dream too.
Scientists found that as a dog falls asleep, his breathing becomes deeper and more regular.After about 20 minutes in REM sleep, dreams usually begin for average dogs. While dreaming, the dog’s breathing may become shallow and irregular, and his eyes move about behind the closed lids(眼睑) as if the dog is looking at something. By comparing brain wave patterns, researchers suggested that during REM, dogs are visualizing (呈现) dream images much like humans do during this stage of sleep.
Besides, it’s also found that during REM, the sleeping brain functions much like it does when awake, so both man and dogs dream about things that happen during their waking hours. Information gathered during the day is processed at night and may be relived in dreams. So your dog may “sleep run” as he runs after a cat or fetches a ball.
Studies also show that some dogs dream more than others, and the frequency and length of dreams are different according to the age and sizes of dogs. Young puppies usually experience more dreams than adult dogs. One possible reason is that puppies acquire huge amounts of new information daily and have much to process at night. Among dogs of the same age, smaller dogs seem to have more dreams than their bigger friends, but their dreams may last shorter. Dream length and frequency are also related to the amount of sleep required. A dog that has an active day outside may sleep more soundly than usual and experience longer periods of REM sleep, giving him more time to dream.
37. What happens to dogs during REM sleep?
A. Their dreams take place. B. Their brain waves are slow.
C. Their muscles stay active. D. Their mind is more relaxed.
38. While dreaming, the dog ________.
A. breathes regularly B. visualizes images
C. opens the lids D. gathers information
39. What does the underlined word “relived” probably mean?
A. Removed. B. Repaired. C. Reviewed. D. Reduced.
40. What is the last paragraph mainly about?
A. Why dogs dream like humans.
B. What bigger dogs dream about.
C. Why young puppies have more dreams.
D. What causes the differences of dogs’ dreams.
C
What exactly is intelligence? There aren’t any easy answers. Despite the progress that has been made in genetics and psychology, human intelligence has remained one of the most controversial areas of modern science，until now, that is, for the discovery of a gene(基因) linked to intelligence has made the experts think again.
Robert Plomin of the Institute of Psychiatry in London and his colleagues in the US have been looking into genetic make-up. From their research, they have discovered that a slightly different gene is more common in those with a high IQ. Plomin analyzed DNA from two groups of 51 children aged between 6 and 15. What he found was that the first group had an IQ of 136, putting them in the top 5% of the population, while the other group had an average IQ of 103. An analysis of their genes showed that 32% of children in the higher group had the gene in question, while only 16% in the second group did. However, there is a lot more research to be done, and Plomin himself is cautious at this early stage. He suggests that there are probably many genes that contribute to intelligence, rather than just one.
Several studies have shown a strong link between IQ and career success, although some psychologists remain unconvinced about this. Professor Michael Rowe, who has written a book called Genius Explained, is one of these. “The people with the highest IQs are not usually the ones who do best in their careers.”
Many psychologists now believe that when it comes to intelligence, IQ isn’t everything. Many alternative views have been put forward recently. One example is the idea of multiple intelligences, which was developed in the 1980s by Harvard psychologist Howard Gardner. This offers a much broader view than the IQ theory, including creativity and communication skills as relevant factors(因素) in intelligence.
Tony Buzan brain expert and author of Master your Memory, is enthusiastic about this belief, arguing that true geniuses(天才) do indeed appear to combine high levels of each type of intelligence. He lists Alexander the Great, Pablo Picasso and Albert Einstein as examples. At the same time, Buzan believes that everyone can develop their intelligence, only if they take the trouble to exercise their brain. Perhaps there’s hope for us all!
41. What is the topic of the passage?
A. The relationship between genes and intelligence.
B. IQ benefits a lot from high intelligence.
C. How to develop intelligence.
D. What makes intelligence.
42. Why does the author use data in Paragraph 2?
A. To make a suggestion. B. To draw a conclusion.
C. To prove an idea. D. To give an example.
43. What can we learn from the passage?
A. Robert Plomin confirms genes have something in common.
B. Howard Gardner thinks intelligence includes various factors.
C. Michael Rowe approves of a strong link between IQ and career.
D. Tony Buzan agrees geniuses exercise brain to improve intelligence.
44. What does the underlined word “This” in Paragraph 4 refer to?
A. The development of intelligence.
B. The idea of multiple intelligences.
C. IQ isn’t everything for intelligence.
D. Alternative views have been put forward.

The dinner party is disappearing according to an article in The New York Times. “How can this be?” You might wonder. Don’t we meet with friends to taste food in the hottest restaurants? Aren’t we invited by friends to enjoy home-cooked meals? And we throw parties for friends on special occasions, don’t we?
___45___It is more formal and usually hosted in one’s home. Invitations are sent out ahead and hosts prepare food with great care. A beautiful tablecloth is spread out on the dinner table, which is then set with expensive cutlery (餐具). Guests dress up for the occasion and are expected to carry on a conversation at the table.___46___
Is it because people are too busy to cook for others and then invite them to the table? Perhaps, but there are many food lovers nowadays, and TV programs teaching people how to cook are very popular.___47___According to Judith Martin, a US writer, people have been brought up to express themselves rather than to exchange ideas. They don’t know how to share their experiences and feelings with others in a proper way.___48___
In her opinion, its influence has been harmful to human communication. “People don’t even respond to dinner invitation anymore,” she said. “Not only do they cancel at the last minute, they do it by text message.”
Things have changed a lot today. Perhaps the dinner party has just become a different kind of thing. However, it needs only be more than some food, a table and a location.___49___ Even if we are using ordinary plates and are not wearing party dresses, we can still enjoy food and share our ideas of life, love and culture, can’t we?
A. The age of great hosts is dead with the change of people’s lifestyles.
B. In fact the dinner party the writer worries about disappearing is another kind.
C. The real problem is that people don’t know how to make conversation anymore.
D. They know exactly which guests to invite so that they can share their favourite food.
E. The culture of the dinner party is not necessarily based on money and social influence.
F. Yet nowadays, people prefer to eat takeout food on sofa while playing on mobile phones.

Lillian Hanson, a college junior, expects to graduate in about two years. Mrs. Hanson, a rather unusual student, plans to go on to take more courses after she gets her degree. What makes Mrs. Hanson different from most of her classmates?
What sets Lillian Hanson apart from the college crowd is her age-73 years. She has been going to college, a few courses at a time, for 27 years.
When Mrs. Hanson graduated from high school, she went to her local bank and asked for a loan for college tuition and fees. The banker gave her no encouragement. He didn’t think that a country girl should be borrowing money to go to college. He thought she should be home doing work in the house or around the farm. So Mrs. Hanson went home and raised a family of nine children instead of going to college. She still lives with her husband on the farm that has been in the family for five generations.
Mrs. Hanson never forgot her dream of getting a higher education. When her children were grown up, she tried again.
She finds the hardest part of going back to school at her age to be sitting in class for long periods of time. Because she is not able to move as quickly and easily as she used to be, Mrs. Hanson often gets up and walks around between classes to keep from getting rigid. At the beginning of a course in using the computer, the other students all stood up to give Mrs. Hanson big applause when she introduced herself and explained why she was there and what her goals were.

第二节：(共 5小题;每小题 2分，共 10分)
【答案】45. B 46. F 47. C 48. G 49. E
【解析】
【导语】这是一篇说明文。根据《纽约时报》的一篇文章，晚宴正在消失。文章讲述了晚宴消失的一些原因。
【45题详解】
第一段中““How can this be?” You might wonder. Don’t we meet with friends to taste food in the hottest restaurants? Aren’t we invited by friends to enjoy home-cooked meals? And we throw parties for friends on special occasions, don’t we?”（“怎么会这样?”你可能会好奇。我们不是应该和朋友一起去最热门的餐厅品尝美食吗？我们不是被朋友邀请来吃家常菜的吗？我们会在特殊场合为朋友举办派对，不是吗？）以问题形式呈现了现实中呈现的聚会形式。空后“It is more formal and usually hosted in one’s home. Invitations are sent out ahead and hosts prepare food with great care. A beautiful tablecloth is spread out on the dinner table, which is then set with expensive cutlery (餐具). Guests dress up for the occasion and are expected to carry on a conversation at the table.”（它更加正式，通常在家里举办。邀请函会提前发出，主人会小心翼翼地准备食物。一块漂亮的桌布铺在餐桌上，餐桌上摆放着昂贵的餐具。客人们盛装出席，并被要求在餐桌上进行交谈。）叙述了传统意义上的晚宴的形式，因此作为承上启下的句子，空处应该讲述《纽约时报》的文章讲述晚宴应是指传统意义上的晚宴。因此应该讲述事实上作者的担心并非是现实意义上的聚会，而是传统意义上的晚宴。选项B“事实上，作者担心消失的晚宴是另一种类型。”，符合题意，故选B。
46题详解】
根据空前描述传统意义上的晚宴形式，空处应承接前文，讲述现实的形式与传统形式不同的地方。选项F“然而现在，人们更喜欢在沙发上吃外卖，同时玩手机。”切题，故选F。
【47题详解】
根据空前“Is it because people are too busy to cook for others and then invite them to the table? Perhaps, but there are many food lovers nowadays, and TV programs teaching people how to cook are very popular.”（是因为人们太忙了，没有时间为别人做饭，然后邀请他们来吃饭吗？也许吧，但是现在有很多美食爱好者，教人们如何烹饪的电视节目很受欢迎。）说明为了现实中人们不邀请别人来家吃饭的原因可能是由于太忙没有时间。空后“According to Judith Martin, a US writer, people have been brought up to express themselves rather than to exchange ideas. ”（美国作家朱迪思•马丁（Judith Martin）表示，人们从小就被教育要表达自己，而不是交流思想。）表述了人们从小到大所受的教育中缺失要交流思想的教育。所以空处应讲述人们不愿意邀请别人到家老吃饭的真正原因。选项C“真正的问题是人们不再知道如何交谈。”与下文论述人们从小到大接受教育时缺失交流思想的教育，形成了呼应，切题，故选C。
【48题详解】
根据上文“According to Judith Martin, a US writer, people have been brought up to express themselves rather than to exchange ideas. They don’t know how to share their experiences and feelings with others in a proper way.”（美国作家朱迪思•马丁（Judith Martin）表示，人们从小就被教育要表达自己，而不是交流思想。他们不知道如何以适当的方式与他人分享自己的经历和感受。）可知，空处应承接上文，讲述作家朱迪思•马丁的观点。选项G“她还对电子设备表示不满。”表述了作家朱迪思•马丁的另一个观点，切题。故选G。
【49题详解】
根据上文“Things have changed a lot today. Perhaps the dinner party has just become a different kind of thing. However, it needs only be more than some food, a table and a location.”（今天事情变了很多。也许晚宴已经变成另一种事情了。然而，它只需要一些食物，一张桌子和一个位置。）说明虽然时代让晚宴变成了另一种表达，但晚宴的真正形式并没有改变。所以空处应承接前文，讲述晚宴应该建立在基本的形式上。选项E“宴会文化并不一定建立在金钱和社会影响力的基础上。”与下文“Even if we are using ordinary plates and are not wearing party dresses, we can still enjoy food and share our ideas of life, love and culture, can’t we?”（即使我们使用普通的盘子，不穿晚礼服，我们仍然可以享受食物，分享我们的生活，爱和文化的想法，不是吗？）肯定了普通形式的晚宴聚会一样可以实现其非常的意义，切题，故选E。
