1、 阅读下列短文,从26~40各题所给的A、B、C和D项中选出最佳选项
Gianni Golfera is in front of a group of people. His eyes are covered, but he can still show these people something that's amazing. First, the people choose sixty numbers as they like. After that, a helper reads the numbers to Gianni. Then, after hearing them just a single time, Gianni repeats the numbers in the correct order from memory. Then, he does it again—backwards!
Gianni has a very special kind of memory. He explains in his own words, "It's a kind of memory that is connected to what I see. It means that every idea I learn, everything I read, becomes a part of me."
Memory is very difficult to understand. Scientists don't really know how it works, yet. The Golfera family genes (基因) may hold important information about Gianni's memory. A scientist called Antonic Malgaroli plans to compare the Golfera family's genes with the genes of more forgetful families. "The question," says Dr. Malgaroli. "is how much it's really because of the Golfera family genes, and how much comes from his practice."
Researchers are now studying how memory and learning change the brain. They are also trying to match those changes to genes. Some research already shows that a great memory may not depend on the right DNA only. According to Dr. Malgaroli, "If you really need to use your brain to store some kind of information, you have this ability. It's just a matter of exercise." That is, practice and exercising the brain can improve the memory!
The same idea is true for Gianni. His genes are only part of the story. Since the age of 11, he's been training his brain to remember more and more. He practices continuously to improve the power of his memory. Gianni thinks about memory, and works on it, all the time. However, Gianni's life is not all about science. He has a normal life, just like other people. So, researchers think Gianni's memory is mainly because of his very hard work. Gianni agrees.
Gianni believes if there is a memory gene, he probably has it. But the success of Gianni may be more about practice and hard work than DNA. At the same time, he might just be showing scientists that a great memory can be made and not just born!
(1)、Why does the writer describe Gianni's memory test in Paragraph 1?A、To connect his talent to his job. B、To show his ability to memorize. C、To explain his amazing family genes. D、To introduce a way of counting numbers.(2)、What does the writer probably think of having a great memory?A、Practice helps improve memory. B、Anyone can do it with a little work. C、Memory depends on family's genes. D、Forgetful people don't have good genes.(3)、What does "it" refer to in the last paragraph?A、A great memory. B、Success. C、A memory gene. D、Hard work.(4)、Which can be the best title for the passage?A、The importance of memory. B、The amazing genes. C、The research of brains. D、The memory man. -
2、 阅读下列短文,从26~40各题所给的A、B、C和D项中选出最佳选项
Brian looked at the ugly gray walls of his bedroom. Soon the hated walls would be covered, but not with paint as he had first planned. Brian had been disappointed to learn that the house owner would not allow painting. For weeks he was unable to understand: without using paint, how could he cover the walls? But, as Grandmother always said, "Necessity is the mother of invention." So Brian did some thinking, and with a little help from his mother, he came up with a great plan.
This morning, Mom had needed to stop at the mall to buy a book and Brian went along. There, Brian noticed a large poster of Harry Potter and the Hogwarts School on the wall. Next to it was a poster showing the cover of No Arm in Left Field, a baseball novel that Brian had read several times. "This is it," Brian thought excitedly. "I'll cover the walls with posters!"
When he left the mall, Brian had an armful of posters and a box of tacks (大头钉). At home, he headed straight to his room. First he took out the posters and spread them out on his bed, his desk, and most of the floor. Next he found out the size of each poster, and then the walls. He wanted to cover as much of those ugly walls as possible! It took all afternoon to work out the best preparation. He drew it on paper, making changes until it was just right. When Dad came home at dinnertime, Brian was ready to tack up the posters.
"Come see my room, Dad," called Brian. "It's going to be great!" But when Dad came into the bedroom, he looked worried. "The house owner said we could not put any holes in the walls. You can't use tacks, Brian. I am sorry."
Brian's joy slowly disappeared. He would stay with the boring gray walls forever. Maybe there was no way to solve this problem after all. How could you hang posters without using tacks? After all, posters would not stick to the walls by themselves!
"What would stick to the walls?" Brian wondered. Then he smiled. Tape, that's what! Brian took a piece of tape and made it into a circle. He made sure the sticky part of the tape was on the outside. This would work, for sure!
(1)、In this story, what is Brian's main problem?A、Being told not to use tacks. B、Getting permission to paint the room. C、Working out a good preparation for his posters. D、Finding a proper way to cover his bedroom walls.(2)、Which word can best describe Brian?A、Hard-working. B、Kind. C、Smart. D、Brave.(3)、In what order did the following happen in the story?a. Dad came back and warned Brain not to use tacks.
b. Brian spent a whole afternoon getting ready.
c. The room took a completely new look.
d. Brian bought lots of posters and tacks.
e. Brian was not allowed to paint the walls.
A、e-d-b-a-c B、a-e-d-b-c C、e-a-c-b-d D、a-b-d-c-e(4)、What can we learn from the story?A、We should never put holes in our walls. B、We can solve problems in a creative way. C、Kids should be allowed to paint their rooms. D、It's fun to have a lot of posters in our bedroom. -
