21、When we think someone is smart，we say they have a big brain．But are there any facts to prove that statement？

Yes ！ In a new study done by Michael McDaniel ， a psychologist at Virginia Commonwealth University，bigger does mean smarter．"For all ages and sex groups，"he says，"it is now very clear that intelligence has something to do with brain volume（容量）．"

McDaniel reached his conclusion after measuring the size and volume of 26 brains with the help of some instruments．He then used standard IQ tests to measure the intelligence of the owners of these brains． But do IQ tests really reveal intelligence？McDaniel believes that they do，and here are other studies to backup that point of view．One study last year found that IQ is related to the amount and distribution（分布） of gray matter in the brain．The study showed that the amount of gray matter in certain places was strongly related to high IQ．The distribution of gray matter in the brain，which is different for different people，could explain why one person with a high IQ is good at math but poor at spelling，while someone else with the same IQ has just the opposite ability．

Yet another recent study found that women have more gray matter（compared with white matter） than men！However，the study also showed that in the areas of the brain specifically（特别地） related to intelligence，men had much more gray matter，which is needed for some tasks，such as doing a math problem．Women ，on the other hand ，had more white matter ，which is necessary for collecting information．And the point is that intelligence can be influenced in different ways．

"On average，"McDaniel says，"smarter people learn more quickly，make fewer mistakes，and are more productive．"He believes in the use of IQ tests to examine those who want to find a job．So，be well，do good work，and…exercise that brain!

【1】What does Michael McDaniel's new study prove？ ______

A. Women have more white matter than men．

B. The bigger the brain is，the cleverer the person is．

C. IQ has nothing to do with the amount of gray matter．

D. The brain is filled with large amounts of gray matter．

【2】The underlined phrase "back up" in Paragraph 4means ______ ．

A. express   B. share

C. change   D. support

【3】What can we learn from the text？ ______

A. Men are smarter than women．

B. Age has an influence on one's intelligence．

C. McDaniel suggests people do more IQ tests．

D. People with the same IQ may have different abilities

【4】The author thinks Michael McDaniel's study is ______ ．

A. crazy   B. difficult

C. correct   D. subjective （主观的）

22、While anytime is the perfect time to take a European vacation, there is something special about autumn. Here are a few places to consider when you are planning your own fairy tale European vacation this fall.

◆ Zaanse Schans—Netherlands

Just a short trip from the wonderful tree-lined city of Amsterdam is Zaanse Schans. You can explore traditional industries like wooden clog carving (木屐雕刻), barrel making, and participate in cheese tastings, visit the home of a fisherman, and even check out a working windmill.

◆ Hallstatt—Austria

Situated on Lake Halstatt, the town itself was known for producing salt. But it’s also known for its beauty and has been named a UNESCO World Cultural Heritage Site. Start early at the town’s photo point to seize some of the most breathtaking shots of the location and yourself!

◆ Trondheim—Norway

Beautiful walking trails with both mountain and seaside views are the perfect way to start a refreshing fall morning before taking in the scene at the K-U-K art gallery or a visit to the largest medieval cathedral (中世纪大教堂). It is also surrounded by countless small and large-scale food producers.

◆ Mdina—Malta

With no cars allowed, the “silent city” has maintained an atmosphere of beauty and delight throughout time, and its mix of medieval and baroque (巴洛克式的) architecture, including palaces, gives the feeling that you are truly traveling back in time.

23、While flatmates can bring about stress and difficulty, they can also be great company and develop into wonderful, lifelong friends. Before making the decision to live with a flatmate or to live alone, consider carefully all the accompanying advantages and disadvantages.

Most people join forces with a flatmate primarily due to financial problem. A shared living space also means you're responsible for only half of the rent or shared bills. Additionally, when you're splitting costs, you can afford a better apartment than you could alone. However, money can become a point of argument for flatmates as well. If your flatmate gets laid off or quits his job, you may have to pick up his bill until he's back on his feet. Your flatmate may also insist he owe less because he doesn't use the shower too often.

In addition to bills and the rent, flatmates also typically share responsibility for unpleasant tasks, such as cleaning or doing the dishes. Without a flatmate, cleaning and tidying responsibilities are yours alone. However, flatmates also frequently end up sharing plenty of other things many people would rather not: use of the TV, the bathroom, food and even clothing, for example. You may have to wake up earlier than you'd like to get a hot shower before work or give up watching your favorite show because your flatmate beat you to it.

When you live alone,   you get to determine the terms of your social life, and you go home to an empty house or apartment at the end of the day. That can be preferable if you're a serious student or professional, someone who needs to work and rest in the quiet of an apartment. With a flatmate, there are unexpected guests and your social options can expand sharply. Keep in mind, however, that having a flatmate means that he may feel social when you do not, and you may have to deal with wanted house guests.

【1】What's the main reason for most people to share a flat?

A．Ensuring safety.

B．Saving money.

C．Sharing housework.

D．Reducing loneliness.

【2】What does the author say about a serious flatmate?

A．He likes a peaceful life.

B．He has excellent social manners.

C．He keeps everything in the room tidy.

D．He often turns away unexpected guests.

【3】How does the author express his opinions?

A．By describing the process.

B．By stating an argument.

C．By making comparisons.

D．By analyzing the outcome.

【4】Which of the following can be the best title for the text?

A．Buying a Flat or Sharing One?

B．The Reasons for Sharing a Flat.

C．How to Share a Flat with a Flatmate?

D．The Advantages and Disadvantages of Flatsharing.

24、A study led by Plana-Ripoll, a doctor at Aarhus University in Denmark, tries to deal with a fundamental question that has bothered researchers for more than a century—what exactly causes mental illness?

In the hope of finding the answer, scientists have piled up a large amount of data over the past decade, through studies of genes and brain activity. They have found that many of the same genes underlie seemingly distinct disorders and that changes in the brain's decision-making systems could be involved in many conditions.

The researchers are also rethinking theories of how our brains go wrong. The idea that mental illness can be classified into distinct, separate categories like “anxiety” has been disproved to a large extent. Instead, recently they’ve found that disorders shade into each other, and there are no hard dividing lines.

The researchers are trying to understand the biology that underlies mental illness. They have a few theories. Perhaps there are several dimensions (维度) of mental illness, so depending on how a person scores on each dimension, they might be more likely to have some disorders than others. An alternative idea is that there is a single factor that makes people easier to suffer from mental illness in general. What disorder they develop is then determined by other factors. Both ideas are being taken seriously though the former one is more widely accepted by the researchers.

The details are still unclear, but most researchers agree that one thing is specific: The old system of categorizing mental disorders into neat boxes does not work. They are also hopeful that, in the long run, replacing this framework with one that is grounded in biology will lead to new drugs and treatments. The researchers aim to reveal, for instance, the key genes, brain regions and neurological processes involved in psychopathology (精神病理学), and target them with treatments. Although it might take a while to get there, they are long-term optimistic if the field really does its work.

【1】What aspect of mental illness has been puzzling researchers according to the text?

A．Its theories.

B．Its symptoms.

C．Its categories.

D．Its roots.

【2】What have the researchers found from the recent study?

A．There exist links between mental disorders.

B．Brain function has little to do with mental illness.

C．Mental illness is classified into different categories.

D．Genes are completely different in distinct mental disorders.

【3】Which one is more widely accepted by the researchers according to paragraph 4?

A．The theory of genetic influences.

B．The belief of brain abnormalities.

C．The concept of multiple dimensions.

D．The idea of the determined risk factor.

【4】What can we learn about mental illness from the text?

A．Its genes are too complex to study.

B．Its new drugs can be available soon.

C．Researchers are clear about its details.

D．Seeking for its physiology might help.
