7．Thinking
Some scientists claim that we humans are the only living things that are conscious-we alone are aware that we are thinking．
No one knows how consciousness works-it is one of science's last great mysteries．
All your thoughts take place in the cerebrum（大腦皮質(zhì)），which is at the top of your brain，and different kinds of thought are linked to different areas，called association areas．
Each half of the cerebrum has four rounded ends called lobes（腦葉）-two at the front（frontal and temporal lobes） and two at the back（occipital and parietal lobes）．The frontal lobe is linked to your personality an it is where you have your bright ideas．The temporal lobe is where you hear and understand what people say to you．The occipital lobe is where you record touch，heat and cold，and pain．The left half of the brain controls the right side of the body．The right half controls the left side．One half of the brain is always dominant in charge）．Usually，the left side brain is dominant，which is why 90% of people are right-handed．
33．Which part of your cerebrum is most active when you are thinking a telephone call？B
A．The frontal lobe．
B．The temporal lobe．
C．The occipital lobe．
D．The parietal lobe．
34．Which of the following statements is True？A
A．One's personality has something to do with the frontal lobe．
B．Bright ideas come from the parietal lobe．
C．The occipital and temporal lobes are at the back of the cerebrum．

B．their temporal lobe is usually dominant
C．their right brain is usually dominant
D．their left brain is usually dominant．

17．A new U．S．government report says more than two million Americans fall ill each year with
drug-resistant bacterial infections（感染），and 23，000of them are dying as a result．The head of the United States Centers for Disease Control and Prevention[CDC]said that the number probably will grow．Officials warn that steps must be taken now to preserve the effectiveness of antibiotic（抗生素）drugs．
Without urgent action to stop that trend，warned Tom Frieden whose agency wrote the report，the miracle drugs to fight them won't be available in the future．
"If we are not careful，the medicine chest will be empty when we go there to look for a lifesaving antibiotic for someone with a deadly infection．But if we act now，we can preserve these medications while we continue to work on development of new medicines．"The report names a drug-resistant abuse of gonorrhea（淋�。�，which causes about one quarter of a million hospitalizations in the United States annually．Of the number at least 1 4，000result in death．
Drug resistance develops through the overuse and inappropriate use of anti-bacterial agents．These can be：doctors prescribing（開藥） them to patients who have viral infections that are not affected by medicine meant to fight bacteria；patients not taking all of their medicine as prescribed，so the bacteria making them sick are only weakened，not killed；antibiotic use in healthy farm animals to prevent illness and promote growth．Antibiotic remainders left in meat and animal products can then lead to drug resistance in humans．
To limit the spread of resistant infections，experts recommend wider use of routine
immunizations（預(yù)防），as well as hand-washing in hospitals and other health care facilities．Also，the report urges hand-washing by food handlers．
Michael Bell，deputy director of the Division of Healthcare Quality Promotion at CDC，said Patients also can play a role in preserving the effectiveness of antibiotics by asking health care providers a few simple questions．

29．What's the best title of the passage？C
A．Drug Resistance Developing Quickly in the US
B．Drug-Resistant Bacterial Infections Growing in the US
C．Actions for Preserving Anti-Bacterial Medications in the US
D．Preventions of Drug-resistant Bacterial Infections in the US
30．According to Frieden，we must take measures without delay to preserve effectiveness of antibiotics，orB．
A．we will have to develop better medicines in place of antibiotics
B．there may be no effective anti-bacterial drugs for use in the future
C．we can't find other medicines to cure serious illnesses in the future
D．more and more Americans will suffer from bacterial infections each year
31．Of those patients admitted to the hospital because of a drug-resistant abuse of gonorrhea annually，deaths add up toA．
A．a(chǎn)t least 5.6%  B．a(chǎn)bout 25%    C．a(chǎn)bout 1.4%    D．a(chǎn)t least 2.5%
32．One of the approaches through which drug resistance develops is thatA．
A．people eat the meat with Antibiotic remainder in animals
B．doctors prescribe less antibiotics than needed for patients
C．doctors prescribe much more antibiotic than needed for patients
D．patients don't take their ant-bacterial agents that doctors prescribe．

18．When I was about twelve，I headed to a restaurant for dinner with my family．It was winter，and on that particular night，the wind was really blowing．As my mom and I headed towards the restaurant from our car，a girl about my age and her mother came up to us．They asked if we had any spare change．My mom immediately asked where they kept their things．They pointed to an old car in a parking across the street．The girl said there were six of them living in that car，which was the same size as my own family．
My mom said she had something to do after handing the people a few dollars．She sent me inside the restaurant with my dad and my three siblings（兄弟姐妹）．But she didn't come．
Later，I found out she had gone home and practically emptied our cupboards into a few bags．Then，she brought that food over to the car and handed the bags to the family．I wasn't there when that part happened，but I can only imagine the joy it brought to their faces．
A few days later，when I actually found out about what she had done，I asked her why she helped those people．She told me that they were not lucky．I remember the face of that girl who had asked us for change； she was the same age as me，yet we looked so different．
Here I stood，dressed in almost new clothes，headed to dine in a restaurant and then back home to the bedroom I shared with my younger sister．I remember thinking that the girl didn't have any food to eat and that she was heading back to a cold car shared with five other people．After painting this picture in my mind，I understood why my mom had done what she did．I will never forget what she did that night，and how she taught me one of the best lessons I ever learned．

15．It does not come as a surprise that Dubai has a growing problem with"tragic"．The local rulers have explored all the conventional ways to get traffic moving again，including higher prices for parking，fuel and insurance．But at a recent conference in Hamburg，Hussain Lootah said that the city may adopt a more strict approach：setting an income level for vehicle ownership．
Mr Lootah's approach is unlikely to be copied widely，but mayors of other big cities around the world are starting to think about taking severe actions of their own，including complete car bans in inner cities．But the efforts may not be enough to reduce traffic and pollution．The problems will only get worse：the number of vehicles sold globally each year will grow from around 80million today to more than 100million by the end of the decade，according to IHS Automotive．
There are already a handful of car-free communities around the world．But these are typically small and often tourist destinations that seek to create a throwback（后退；返祖遺傳） in time，such as Sark Island，in the English Channel．The largest car-free urban area is probably Venice，where it is impossible to build roads and bridges to link the more than 100small islands the city sits on．
Yet pedestrian malls（步行街） and other car-free zones keep popping up in cities around the world．Some cities are considering ways to limit central city access to"green"machines，such as battery-electric vehicles．Hamburg is perhaps the furthest along．
Such extreme plans may fly in a city such as Hamburg．But in many other cities the political resistance even to less far-reaching measures is hard to overcome．Michael Bloomberg，New York's former mayor，tried twice to introduce a jam charge for much of Manhattan，but his plans were rejected by state lawmakers．

25．From Paragraph 1，we know thatB．
A．Dubai government tries to improve its local incomes
B．Dubai government tries to solve traffic problems
C．Dubai government tries to reduce prices for parking
D．Dubai government tries to offer insurance to locals
26．It is still hard to reduce traffic problems，becauseC．
A．Mr Lootah's approach will be copied widely．
B．mayors take gentle measures toward them．
C．more vehicles will be sold globally each year．
D．complete car bans in inner cities are not made．
27．What causes Venice to be the largest car-free urban area？A
A．Its natural geographical characteristics．
B．Its too many tourist destinations．
C．Its reduced number of cars．
D．Its government law on car free．
28．What can we learn from Paragraph 4？D
A．People can only walk in central city．
B．All vehicles can be used in central city．
C．Hamburg may not adopt"green"machines．
D．"Green"machines can be accessible in central city．

2．Retirement （退休） should be time of joy and freedom．However，for some people retirement comes with feelings of depression （沮喪），which makes life difficult for them．
Retirement is a major life change．Even good changes usually involve some kinds of loss．When you retire，you find yourself lacking whatever working used to provide．That could include，for example，1．knowing you're working for society，2．getting admiration from your skills，3．having"aha"moments when you solve problems，4．having people to socialize with，and=5．simply having a place to go and a reason to get out of bed every day．For most people，there's a financial loss，too．Also，retirement age is a time when a lot of people have to deal with losing their parents or having serious health problems of their own．
Because of all these，retirees are more likely to get depressed．
Depression is very harmful．First，depression can make physical health problems worse．Second，it takes a toll on relationships，because it can make people angry．Third，it's hard to getmuch done when you're depressed．
What can we do to overcome （克服） the feelings of depression？First，do all the things that help depression in general：drink enough water，exercise，talk to friends，have a hobby，laugh，and spend time in nature．If you feel depressed more often than not，it's probably time to talk to a doctor about your feelings．Second，it's important to keep busy and get out of the house when you can．Make specific plans with friends．Take a class Volunteer．Or just make sure you start each day with some kind of goal．Third，try to focus on what you've gained by retiring．Think about what you may have now that you wished you had before you were able to retire．For example，days that are less stressful，a chance to rest and take better care of your body，more time for your family and yourself．To write，to start a hobby and to learn something new are all new possibilities．Finally，tell your story．You've lived a long time and you become an oral historian each time you talk with someone about your experiences．You can also write in a journal or make a video recording of your memories．Telling your stories can help you look back on your life and career with a sense of wholeness and achievements．

32．People may find life very hard after they retire because ofC．
A．freedom　　　　　　　　　　　　　
B．nervousness
C．discouragement （losing heart）　　
D．hard work
33．All the following can cause the retirees'unpleasant feelings EXCEPTB．

19．Some people believe that international sports creates goodwill between the nations and that if countries play games together they will learn to live together．Others argue that international contests encourage false national pride and lead to misunderstanding and hatred．There is probably some truth in both opinions，but in recent years the Olympic Games have done little to support the view that sports encourage international brotherhood．Not only was there the tragic incident involving the murder of athletes，but the Games were also ruined by some unfortunate incidents happening in minor national contests．
One country received its silver medals with great anger after the hockey final．There had been noisy scenes at the end of the hockey match since the loser refuse the final decisions．They were convinced that one of their goals should not have been disallowed and that their opponents'victory was unfair．Their manager was in a rage when he said："This wasn't hockey．Hockey and the international Hockey Federation are finished．"The president of the Federation said later that behavior could result in the suspension of the team for at least three years．
The American basketball team announced that they would not yield first place to Russia，after a doubtful end to their contest．The game had ended in disturbance．It was thought at first that the United States had won，by a single point，but it was announced that there were three seconds still to play．A Russian player then threw the ball from one end of the court to the other，and another player popped it into the basket．It was the first time that the USA had ever lost an Olympic basketball match．An appeal jury（申訴仲裁） debated the matter for four and a half hours before announcing the result would stand．The American players then voted not to receive the silver medals．
Incidents of this kind will continue as long as sport is played competitively rather than for the love of the game．The suggestion that athletes should compete as individuals，or in non-national terms，might be too much to hope for．But in the present organization of the Olympics there is far too much that encourages aggressive patriotism（愛國）．

32．According to the author，recent Olympic Games haveC．
A．created goodwill between the nations
B．brought only false national pride
C．hardly showed any international friendship
D．led to more and more misunderstanding and hatred
33．What did the manager mean by saying，"Hockey and the International Hockey Federation are finished"？B
A．His team would no longer take part in international games．
B．Hockey and the Federation are both ruined by the unfair decisions
C．There should be no more hockey matches organized by the Federation
D．The Federation should be canceled
34．The basketball example suggested thatA．
A．too much patriotism was shown in the incident
B．the announcement to restart the match for three more seconds was wrong
C．the appeal jury was too bad at making the decision
D．the American team deserved to get the silver medals．
35．What conclusion can be drawn from the passage？A
A．The organization of the Olympic Games must be improved．
B．Athletes should compete as individuals in the Olympic Games．
C．Sports should be played competitively rather than for the love of the game．
