24、 阅读理解（二）(每小题2分；共10分)

We all have our own ways of sharing our life experiences with others. Photographers use cameras, artists use brushes, musicians use songs and writers use stories.

Spencer Johnson’s story Who moved My cheese? shows changes exist （存在于）in our life.

Life changes and so do we. We must change ourselves to face the changing environment, or we will fail. Just look at the cycle（循环） of the seasons. Trees bud（发芽）in spring and in summer their leaves turn green. In autumn their leaves start to fall onto the ground. When winter arrives, there are no leaves on trees. Next spring the cycle begins again. We know it is colder in winter and hotter in summer, so we can dress properly.

Since we accept the cycle of nature, we should also accept the changes in our life.

We can prepare ourselves for changes by becoming more flexible（灵活的）. We can regard the changes in our life as chances. As long as we keep changing ourselves, we can keep up with the changes in our life.

【1】What’ the main idea of this passage?

【2】 How do writers share their life experiences?

【3】What does Who moved My cheese  tell us?

【4】 Any change in our life could mean a for us.

【5】 What’s the Chinese meaning of the underlined sentence in the last paragraph?

25、   Our brains believe information automatically（自动地）-even if it's false-because we can learn efficiently this way. "We're learning false information not because we're poor learners or not working hard, " says David Rapp, a psychology and education professor at Northwestern University. "In many cases, it's a useful skill for us to accept what people tell us, because often what people tell us is true."

When we hear new information, those fresh facts don't cover what we knew before. We'll draw on old or new information when the situation comes up. ___________ . Short-term memories are easier for our brains to access than facts we heard longer ago, because they're fresher in our minds-even if they're wrong. Since we have to think back further to remember old information, we will often ignore it in favour of new inaccurate（不准确的）information. New information is what we're currently thinking about or has been recently presented to us, while the old one isn't as readily available.

We also buy into the facts that seem more reasonable. Often, this means they fit better with what we want to believe, which can explain why people quote different facts in political debates. Both candidates said something that was objectively true or not, but people would go with what they hope to be true.

Things get even trickier when truth and falsehood coexist in the information. For instance, our brains aren't sure whether to believe the descriptions of London in Harry Potter. "Don't look for that train station to Hogwarts, but there might be streets mentioned that are real, " says Dr. Rapp. In fact, our brains can keep track of what's true or false by mentally tagging（标记）facts as either true or false,  but sorting all that information takes time. In many cases, we are unlikely to think critically to get information,  especially when we are reading for pleasure.

However, it's worth putting in the extra effort to have a second thought about the information that seems doubtful. "With the ease that we can look things up on the Internet, " says Dr. Rapp, "there's no reason not to." "Seek out reliable sources, " he adds.

【1】The missing sentence in Paragraph 2 might be "___________ ".

A.We always find the information updating fast nowadays

B.Oftentimes,  we use the information we heard most recently

C.From time to time,  we fail to remember unimportant things

D.We hardly see old information that is different from the truth

【2】The underlined phrase "buy into" in Paragraph 3 can be replaced by ___________ .

A.believe in B.learn from C.come up with D.care about

【3】Why does the writer mention Harry Potter in Paragraph 4?

A.To prove people are unable to think critically when reading.

B.To show the information we get can be a mix of true and false.

C.To warn readers of the negative influence,  of false information.

D.To explain how individual facts are mentally tagged as true or false.

【4】What can we learn from the passage?

A.Our brains can do very little with false information.

B.Short-term memories can cover long-term memories.

C.Dr. Rapp calls on people not to depend on the Internet.

D.People need to double-check the information they question.

26、Different weather makes people feel different. It influences (影响) health, intelligence (智力) and feelings.

In August, it is very hot and wet in the southern part of the United States. People there have heart trouble and other kinds of health problems during this month. In the Northeast and the Middle West, it is very hot at some times and very cold at other times. People in these states have more heart trouble after the weather changes in February or March.

The weather can also influence intelligence. For example, in a 1983 report by scientists, IQ (智商) of a group of students was very high when a very strong wind came, but after the strong wind, their IQ was 10% lower. The wind can help people have more intelligence. Very hot weather, on the other hand, can make it lower. Students in many schools of the United States often get worse on exams in the hot months of the year (July and August).

Weather also has a strong influence on people’s feelings. Winter may be a bad time for thin people. They usually feel cold during these months. They might feel unhappy during cold weather. But fat people may have a hard time in hot summer. At about 18℃, people become stronger.

Low air press (气压) may make people forgetful. People leave more bags on buses and in shops on low-pressure days. People feel best at a temperature of 18℃.

Are you feeling sad, tired, forgetful, or unhappy today? It may be the weather’s problem.

【1】________ can cause problems on health.

B．Different Weather Makes People Feel Bad

C．Weather influences Health, Behaviors and Feelings

D．Weather influences Health, intelligence and Feelings

27、Beijing Opera is one of the traditional Chinese drama art forms and the largest Chinese opera form. Having a history of about 200 years, it is developed from many other drama forms, mostly from the local drama “Huiban”. It was especially popular in south China during the 18th century.
