21、 The UK has a well-respected higher education system and some of the top universities and research institutions in the world. But to those who are new to it all, sometimes it can be confusing.
October is usually the busiest month in the college calendar. Universities have something called Freshers’ Week for their newcomers. It’s a great opportunity to make new friends, join lots of clubs and settle into university life．
However, having just left the comfort of home and all your friends behind, the prospect (前景) of meeting lots of strangers in big halls can be nerve-wracking (令人头痛的). Where do you start? Who should you make friends with? Which clubs should you join?
Luckily, there will be thousands of others in the same boat as you worrying about starting their university social life on the right foot. So just take it all in slowly. Don’t rush into anything that you’ll regret for the next three years.
Here is some top advice from past students on how to survive Freshers’ Week：
●Learn rules. Make sure you know British social etiquette (礼节). Have a few wine glasses and snacks handy for your housemates and friends.
●Be kind. Sometimes cups of tea or even slices of toast can give you a head start in making friends.
●Be sociable. The more active you are, the more likely you’ll be to meet new people than those who never leave their room.
●Bring a doorstop. Keep your door open when you’re in and that sends positive messages to your neighbors that you’re friendly.
So with a bit of clever planning and effort, Freshers’ Week can give you a great start to your university life and soon you’ll be passing on your experience to next year’s new recruits．
【1】Which of the following statements is FALSE according to the passage？
A．October is generally the busiest month for universities．
B．It’s a good idea to have a doorstop.

【2】The underlined word “recruits” in the last paragraph refers to 　　　　．
A．courses
B．freshers
C．neighbors
D．challenges
【3】We can infer from the 4th paragraph that 　　　　．
A．the newcomers usually miss the days living at home
B．most of the students in the UK spend three years in universities
C．many freshers are worried about how to fit university life
D．all the new students will make new friends and join certain clubs
【4】Why does the author suggest having wine glasses and snacks handy？
A．To pass the busy university life．
B．To help make friends with other freshers．
C．To show yourself a drinker as others．
D．To pass the time in a happy way．

C．discuss something about the Freshers’ Week in the UK
D．advise the freshmen how to behave well in the beginning
22、Every fall, like clockwork, Linda Krentz of Beaverton, Oregon, felt her brain go on strike. “I just couldn’t get going in the morning,” she says. “I’d get depressed and gain 10 pounds every winter and lose them again in the spring.” Then she read about seasonal affective disorder, a form of depression that occurs in fall and winter, and she saw the light literally. Every morning now she turns on a specially constructed light box for half an hour and sits in front of it to trick her brain into thinking it’s still enjoying those long summer days. It seems to work.
Krentz is not alone. Scientists estimate that 10 million Americans suffer from seasonal depression and 25 million more develop milder versions. But there’s never been definitive proof that treatment with very bright lights makes a difference. After all, it’s hard to do a double-blind test when the subjects can see for themselves whether or not the light is on. That’s why nobody has ever separated the real effects of light therapy from placebo (安慰剂) effects.
Until now, in three separate studies published last month, researchers report not only that light therapy works better than a placebo but that treatment is usually more effective in the early morning than in the evening. In two of the groups, the placebo problem was resolved by telling patients they were comparing light boxes to a new anti-depressant device that gives off negatively charged ions (离子). The third used the timing of light therapy as the control.
Why does light therapy work? No one really knows. “Our research suggests it has something to do with shifting the body’s internal clock,” says psychiatrist Dr. Lewey. The body is programmed to start the day with sunrise, he explains, and this gets later as the days get shorter. But why such subtle shifts make some people depressed and not others is a mystery.
That hasn’t stopped thousands of winter depressives from trying to heal themselves. Light boxes for that purpose are available without a doctor’s prescription. That bothers psychologist Michael Terman of Columbia University. He is worried that the boxes may be tried by patients who suffer from mental illness that can’t be treated with light. Terman has developed a questionnaire to help determine whether expert care is needed.
In any event, you should choose a reputable manufacturer. Whatever product you use should give off only visible light, because ultraviolet light damages the eyes. If you are photosensitive (对光敏感的), you may develop a rash. Otherwise, the main drawback is having to sit in front of the light for 30 to 60 minutes in the morning. That’s an inconvenience many winter depressives can live with.
【1】What is the probable cause of Krentz’s problem?
A．An unexpected gain in body weight.
B．Unexplained impairment of her nervous system.
C．Weakening of her eyesight with the setting in of winter.
D．Poor adjustment of her body clock to seasonal changes.
【2】What is the CURRENT view concerning the treatment of seasonal depression with bright lights?
A．There is definitive proof of its effect.
B．It serves as a kind of placebo.
C．It is considered as a relatively effective therapy.
D．It hardly produces any effects.
【3】What is psychologist Michael Terman’s major concern?
A．Winter depressives will be addicted to using light boxes.
B．No mental patients would bother to consult psychiatrists.
C．Inferior light boxes will give off harmful ultraviolet lights.
D．Light therapy could be misused by certain mental patients.
【4】Which of the following statements is TRUE?
A．Winter depressives prefer light therapy in spite of its inconvenience.
B．Light therapy increases the patient’s photosensitivity.
C．Eye damage is a side effect of light therapy.
D．Light boxes can be programmed to correspond to shifts in the body clock.
23、A research team led by Chunshui Yu and Mulin Jun Li of Tianjin Medical University has discovered two new genes potentially involved in Alzheimer’s disease. They identified them by exploring which genes were turned on and off in the hippocampus of people who suffered from the disease. The team’s new findings are published on February 25th in PLOS Genetics.
Alzheimer’s disease is a type of brain disorder that causes problems with memory, thinking and behavior. This is a gradually progressive condition. The hippocampus, part of the brain involved in memory, is one of the first regions to sustain damage. To better understand which genes contribute to the progression of this heritable disease, the researchers identified genes expressed at higher or lower levels in the hippocampus of people with Alzheimer’s disease compared to healthy brains. They identified 24 Alzheimer’s-related genes that appear to have an effect through the hippocampus, using previous genomic and hippocampus gene expression data. Many genes were already known to contribute to the disease, such as APOE, but two were unknown, PTPN9 and PCDHA4. Additionally, several are involved in biological process related to Alzheimer’s disease, such as cell death.
The research team further validated their findings by comparing gene expression for the two dozen genes to images of the individuals’ brains. In Alzheimer’s disease, damage and loss of neurons causes the hippocampus to decrease, which can be measured through medical imaging. The researchers established that expression of two of the genes is related to the size of the hippocampus of Alzheimer’s disease.
Overall, the new findings improve our understanding of the genetic and cellular mechanisms that cause Alzheimer’s disease. The next step will be to investigate the roles of the two novel genes and how they contribute to this harmful disease.
【1】How did the research team find the two genes related to Alzheimer’s disease?
A．By closing the hippocampus of people.
B．By exploring the switch state of the genes.
C．By turning on and off the genes of the patient.
D．By discovering genes in the hippocampus of people.
【2】What does the underlined word “validated” mean in Paragraph 3?
A．Reported.
B．Conducted.
C．Confirmed.
D．Exposed.
【3】What can we infer about the size of the hippocampus in Alzheimer’s disease.
A．It comes in a smaller size.
B．There is no way to measure its size.
C．It results in damage and loss of neurons.
D．It helps to identify Alzheimer’s disease.
【4】What is the main idea of this passage?
A．It is vital to continue the study of Alzheimer’s disease.
B．The cause of Alzheimer’s disease has been found.
C．The Alzheimer’s disease will be cured soon by the research team.
D．Two novel genes likely linked to Alzheimer’s disease have been discovered.
24、If you look at the night sky, you’ll often see stars moving very quickly. In fact, they move much more quickly than they should according to their size and the laws of physics.
Scientists do not completely understand why the speed of these stars is so high. But many believe the reason is that much of the universe is made of something called “dark matter”. Groups of stars called galaxies, such as the Milky Way, might even be made up of 90 percent dark matter.
How much something weighs depends on where it is. The same object weighs only half as much on Mars as it does on Earth and almost three times as much on Jupiter. So scientists prefer to talk about the mass (质量) of something rather than how much it weighs, because mass does not change. They can work out the mass of galaxies by measuring the distance between them and the speed they move at.
Recently, Jorge Peñarrubia, a senior academic at Edinburgh University, UK, and his team discovered something interesting: The mass of the Milky Way is only half as much as the mass of another nearby galaxy, Andromeda. This seems strange, and dark matter may explain why.
Finding out more about dark matter could help us understand how the universe began, but this is not easy. Lots of scientists with different types of expert knowledge are working on the problem.
We can’t see dark matter, it’s very difficult to measure and we can’t find out its mass. Unlike stars, dark matter doesn’t produce or reflect light. But we can make a good guess that it is there because of the way things move and the way light bends. Experts now think dark matter may be very different from the matter that we find on Earth. There may also be five times as much dark matter in the universe as ordinary matter.
【1】Something that weighs 15kg on Earth weighs about ________ on Mars and ________ on Jupiter.
A. 7.5 kg, 45 kg B. 30 kg, 45 kg C. 45 kg, 7.5 kg D. 5 kg, 30 kg
【2】The author mentions the masses of the Milky Way and Andromeda mainly to ________.
A. explain why the same object has a different weight on different stars
B. compare the distance between the Milky Way and Andromeda
C. show that studying dark matter could help to answer some scientific questions
D. support the idea that scientists prefer to talk about mass instead of weight
【3】Dark matter is difficult to investigate because ________.
A. it travels at a very fast speed
B. we can’t see where it is or measure its mass
C. it’s hard to measure the light it produces and reflects
D. it is much bigger than ordinary matter in size
【4】According to the text, dark matter ________.
A. could accelerate the speed of stars
B. could lessen the mass of objects in galaxies
C. makes up the entire universe and its stars
D. may help us identify the origins of the universe
