Research on animal intelligence always makes me wonder just how smart humans are.
1 the fruit-fly experiments described in Carl Zimmer’s piece in the Science Times on Tuesday.
Fruit flies who were taught to be smarter than the average fruit fly 2 to live shorter lives. This
suggests that 3 bulbs burn longer, that there is an 4 in not being too terrifically bright.
Intelligence, it 5 out, is a high-priced option. It takes more upkeep, burns more fuel and is
slow 6 the starting line because it depends on learning — a gradual 7 — instead of instinct.
Plenty of other species are able to learn, and one of the things they’ve apparently learned is
when to 8 .
Is there an adaptive value to 9 intelligence? That’s the question behind this new research. I
like it. Instead of casting a wistful glance 10 at all the species we’ve left in the dust I.Q.-wise, it
implicitly asks what the real 11 of our own intelligence might be. This is 12 the mind of every
animal I’ve ever met.
Research on animal intelligence also makes me wonder what experiments animals would
13 on humans if they had the chance. Every cat with an owner, 14 , is running a small-scale
study in operant conditioning. we believe that 15 animals ran the labs, they would test us to
16 the limits of our patience, our faithfulness, our memory for terrain. They would try to decide
what intelligence in humans is really 17 , not merely how much of it there is. 18 , they would
hope to study a 19 question: Are humans actually aware of the world they live in? 20 the
results are inconclusive.

Text1
Habits are a funny thing. We reach for them mindlessly, setting our brains on auto-pilot and
relaxing into the unconscious comfort of familiar routine. “Not choice, but habit rules the
unreflecting herd,” William Wordsworth said in the 19th century. In the ever-changing 21st
century, even the word “habit” carries a negative connotation.
So it seems antithetical to talk about habits in the same context as creativity and innovation.
But brain researchers have discovered that when we consciously develop new habits, we create
parallel synaptic paths, and even entirely new brain cells, that can jump our trains of thought
onto new, innovative tracks.
But don’t bother trying to kill off old habits; once those ruts of procedure are worn into the
hippocampus, they’re there to stay. Instead, the new habits we deliberately ingrain into ourselves

第一部分英语知识运用部分命题的特点和规律
（一）英语知识运用部分命题的基本指导思想
通过完形填空的形式不仅考查考生对于不同语境中规范的语言要素（包括词汇、表达方式和语法结构）的运用能力，而且还考查考生对语段特征（如连贯性和一致性等）的辨识能力。这就意味着“英语知识运用”部分的试题由过去注重对单句语言点的考查向对语篇能力（discourse competence）的考查转移，这一考查重心的转移要求考生能够对不同语境中语言使用的规范性、得体性和篇章特征有较强的辨识能力。
（二）选材特点
英语知识运用部分的材料为一篇240-280词的文章，通过对近十年英语知识运用试题的分析可以看出，这部分试题在体裁上多以议论文为主，说明文为辅，而题材上逐渐趋于与现代社会生活密切相关的文章。详见下表。
年份 体裁 题材 主要内容
2000 议论文 经济 农民的生产和消费
2001 议论文 政治法律 政府对媒体炒作干扰司法公正进行立法限制
2002 说明文 社会生活 传媒技术的发展
2003 议论文 文化教育 对青少年的教育问题
2004 议论文 社会生活 对青少年犯罪原因的探讨
2005 说明文 科普 人类的嗅觉
2006 议论文 社会生活 无家可归者增多的现象
2007 议论文 政治历史 西班牙和葡萄牙前殖民地独立后面临的问题
2008 说明文 生物科学 高智商与遗传疾病
2009 议论文 从动物智商研究中得到的有关人类智力的启示
根据英语知识运用部分试题的命题原则和近年的命题趋势，可以发现这部分试题在选材上有以下一些特点：
第一，选材内容不会过于专业。避免让一部分人凭常识答题，否则，会影响测试的信度和效度。因此，含有大量专有名词、数量词和技术性词语的短文一般不会出现。题材多以社会生活、文化教育类为主，科普性文章有再出现的趋势，但仍以与人们生活密切相关的知识为主。题材有一定重复性，如98、99年以工业为主，03、04年以青少年问题为主。

All of us work through problems in ways of which we’re
unaware, she says. Researchers in the late 1960 covered that
humans are born with the capacity to approach challenges in four
primary ways: analytically, procedurally, relationally (or
collaboratively) and innovatively. At puberty, however, the brain
shuts down half of that capacity, preserving only those modes of
thought that have seemed most valuable during the first decade
or so of life.
The current emphasis on standardized testing highlights
analysis and procedure, meaning that few of us inherently use
our innovative and collaborative modes of thought. “This breaks
the major rule in the American belief system — that anyone can
do anything,” explains M. J. Ryan, author of the 2006 book
“This Year I Will...” and Ms. Markova’s business partner.

2009年考研英语历年真题阅读理解精读笔记（一）
众所周知，考研是⼈⽣的⼀次重新洗牌和重⼤机遇，⽽在考研的四门课程中，英语成了许多考⽣前进征途上的⼀只凶猛拦路虎
和⼗分困难的羁跘与障碍。
详细分析历年考研英语试卷，⼜可以发现主要⽭盾在于阅读(占60%的分数)，故可谓：得阅读者得天下。阅读的60分细分
为Part A、Part B 和Part C，其中Part A为四篇阅读理解，占40分，是阅读理解考试中的主战场。那么，阅读Part A有没有什
么技巧呢?
技巧⼀：看懂
阅读理解其实主要考的是“阅读”之后的“理解”，所以，看得懂乃是第⼀项技巧。
任何⼀篇⽂章，若要能看懂它，⾄少需要两个条件：认识单词和看明⽩句⼦。单词就像盖房的砖⽡，考研词汇⼤约为5500个，这不是⼀个⼩数字，也并⾮三两天时间可以记住的，所以，考⽣必须先买⼀本考研英语词汇书进⾏系统、长期的学
习和记忆。(推荐《考研英语词汇真题词频语境记忆》，该书打破了传统考研词汇书按字母顺序排序的做法，⽽是采⽤历年真
题作为单词出现频率的统计依据，将所有⼤纲单词及超纲单词按照历年真题出现的频率从⾼到低排列，⽽且全部按照考过的不
同词义配不同的真题例句，可以使学⽣⽤最少的时间获得的学习效果)。
拿到词汇书之后，⾸先⽤⼤约⼀周的时间把这些单词中你根本不认识的挑出来，如rear，tedious，deteriorate，plausible，jargon，isotope，……，(因为这些单词你可能完全不认识，看到之后两眼漆⿊，所
以称之为“⿊”字)。“⿊”字是阅读的头⼀个障碍，单词不认识，句⼦当然看不懂，所以，消灭“⿊”字是当务之急。(争取⽤⼀个⽉
左右的时间消灭它们!)
考研词汇中，除“⿊”字外，还有⼤量意思⾮常明⽩的所谓“⽩”字，如：able，benefit，culture，space，topic，……。此类
单词可⼀掠⽽过，除“⿊”(完全不认识)和“⽩”(完全明⽩)字两类外，还有许多似会不会的“灰”字，如：treaty，tutor，sample，saddle，fuss，……。甚⾄还有⼤量你觉得会但其实并⾮如此的“灰”字，如：spring 除了“春天”之外，

2009年考研英语考试结束了。今年走出考场的考生普遍感觉今年的试题较往年难度有所降低，尤其是写作部分两道题目难度适中，大家基本发挥出了正常水平。下面针对小作文和大作文分别给予点评，并提供阅卷的范文供大家参考。
part a
51. directions:
一．审题构思
小作文去年考的道歉信，09年小作文要求写一封建议信。今年的建议信相比07年的建议信要求更加具体，且话题更为熟悉。考生对这个话题可写的东西比较多。且在平时大作文的训练中考生都接触过不少表达观点看法和提出建议的方法，尤其在环境保护方面的建议措施接触的更多，因此这篇小作文题材大家非常熟悉，难度适中。如果同学在考前临阵抱佛脚，只要把建议信的套话背下来，比如建议信的第一句话怎么写，中间怎么写，最后一句怎么结尾，直接把有关内容换成白色污染即可。
二．框架思路
确切地讲，今年的小作文仍然是没有脱离开过去的老套，又是一封信，而这封信对同学们来讲，是我们很熟悉的白色塑料袋的使用问题。有很多商家为了争取自己定期的常客，他们可能会想到促销的手段或者销售的途径，那就是说送给你塑料袋，方便你使用。但是这些顾客们可能有些人是懂得或者说环保意识很强的，有些塑料袋，他们总是重复地去用；可是有一些不尽然，像年轻人这样，用过后就扔掉。谈到了白色污染这个话题，就想给编辑写封信，信中反映的是你对这个现象的一个看法，之后，你应该提出一些解决的措施，所以这封信里面要讲的话一点都不难写，最重要的是我们要做一个对社会有责任的人，因为只有如此我们才能够用我们的心去感知这个社会的问题，才能真正从我们内心想出一些方法，使我们的社会更加洁净，这样才能更加和谐。 本文可以按三段处理，首段直接谈白色污染的情况，中段讲出解决问题的建议和措施，最后再次提醒编辑关注此事刻不容缓，并加强礼貌语气。
