We always had totally different opinions. He thought that college was a waste of time, but for me it was important to finish college. He wanted me to work my way to the top as he had done in his field, but I wanted a different life. There was a time when we did not talk with each other.A few months ago, I heard that my 84-year-old dad was in poor health. When he called and asked whether I could move from Colorado back to Tennessee to help him, I knew he was seriously ill. I am his only child and so it was time to meet my father’s requirement.Two weeks after moving back, we bought a boat and started fishing again. Fishing was one of the few things that we did while I was young and that we both enjoyed. It is strange but true that as we are fishing we are able to put things that have kept us apart for so many years behind us. We are able to talk about things that we have never talked about before. Fishing has been healing the old wounds that have kept us apart.It is not important how many fish we catch. It is about enjoying the relationship that we have not had for years. I’m 62 and he is 84. When we are on the lake fishing, it is like enjoying life. It is far better to find a way to put the unhappy past behind. I am so lucky to spend the happy time with my father in his last years. Now my heart is filled with love. A smile always graces my lips.21.The author and his father became further apart because .A.they lived very far from each otherB.they seldom saw each otherC.they only communicated by phoneD.they had different views on things22.For the author, fishing with his old father .A.helps cure his father’s diseaseB.makes him realize the importance of relaxationC.is a good way to get close to natureD.provides a chance for them to communicate23.Which of the following can be the best title for the text?A.Fishing Brings Us TogetherB.Forgiving I s DifficultC.Memories of Old DaysD.My Beloved FatherBBelow are the best four applications to help you organize your closet(橱柜)—and trust us, there really is something for everyone.ClosetIf you’re looking to create your own digital closet, then this app is for you.

Rather than trying to hide our shame or embarrassment, experts found that we are simply less aware when our actions result in a negative outcome.The research may explain why we often feel it hard to take the blame for our actions.“Our result suggests that people may really experience less responsibility for negative than for positive outcomes,”said Patrick Haggard, leading researcher and professor of the institute of Cognitive Neuroscience at University College London.In a series of tests, participants were asked to press a key. A sound then followed, either disapproving, neutral or approving, and they were then asked to estimate the time between the action and when they had heard the sound.Researchers found that individuals experienced different levels of responsibility depending on the outcomes. They also discovered they were significantly slower to recognize if their actions had resulted in a bad consequence, compared to when they had done well.“Effectively, we have found that we experience a negative outcome differently, not just retell it differently. We make a weaker connection when there is a bad result. And respond much more strongly when something good happens,”said Professor Haggard. When something goes right, everyone wants to take the credit, and when things go wrong, nobody is interested in putting their hands up.The researchers said our brain is“very much concerned”with reward, as good results are key to survival. Although our own perception(认知) of whether we are guilty of something or not is changed by the outcomes, this does not provide a defense if we have done something wrong.“Our experience of our own responsibilities can be misleading and can be strongly colored by the outcomes of our actions.”said Professor Haggard.“We have to take responsibility for what actually do, not just for how we experience things.”28.People who don’t take the blame for their actions .A.always try to hide their shame or embarrassment.B.are only willing to take the credit when things go wellC.feel less responsible for negative than for positive outcomesD.are less aware of what to do when a negative outcome happens29.Which of the following statements is TRUE?A.Our level of responsibility can be strongly affected by the outcomes of our actions.B.When something bad happens, nobody is interested in dealing with the problem.C.People were quicker to recognize if their actions had resulted in a bad consequence.D.Participants were asked to count the time between pressing a key and hearing the sound.30.How is the passage developed?A.By giving examples.B.By quoting research findings.C.By analyzing cause and effect.D.By providing data.31.According to the passage, a person who is concerned with reward is .A.awkwardB.naturalC.absurdD.stubbornDA team led by Professor Theoder Berger, from the University of Southern California, can now manipulate(操纵) brain cells in rats so that memories stored in the hippocampus, a brain area crucial for memory formation, are activated or suppressed(抑制). It’s said that the technology could one day have medical applications.In the study, researcher first trained rats to remember which of two levers(杠杆) they pressed first, then to press the other lever.As the rats performed the task, the scientists carefully monitored the electrical activity in each creature’s hippocampus to find the pattern of nerve-cell activityinvolved in making a solid memory.Using the same glass needles they had used to record the nerve activity, they stimulated (刺激) nerves in the same pattern and found that the animals’ performance in the task got even better. The rats made fewer errors and were able to remember which lever was the “correct”one for a longer period of time.The scientists went a step further and suppressed the rats’memories with a drug called Mk801, which caused them to forget their task. When the animals’ brain cells were later stimulated with the“correct”pattern, they remembered again which lever to press.“What’s really exciting about this study is that when they played back the‘good’patterns—the patterns when the animal got the task right—it did appear to improve memory,”said Dean Buonomano, an associate professor at the University of California.The final goal, Berger said, is to help people with stroke(中风) and epilepsy(癫痫症) and the like strengthen memories and to help doctors treat them. The technology might even help sufferers of post-traumatic(创伤后) stress disorder.But first, researchers would have to show that they can stimulate or suppress far more complex memories than the ones in the rat experiment.“Here ,it’s a simple task,”Buonomano said. In contrast, humans’memories are very rich and specific…“We have very many steps to go before this can be achieved,”he said.32.How does“the technology”in Paragraph 1 act?A.It manipulates brain cells.B.It stores memories in the hippocampus.C.It activates memories stored in the brain.D.It suppresses memories stored in the brain.33.In what order did the researchers conduct the rat experiment?a.Monitor the electrical activity in the rat’s hippocampus.b.Suppress the rat’s memory with a drug called MK801.c.Stimulate the rat’s nerves in the same pattern.d.Stimulate the rat’s nerves in the same pattern for a second time.e.Train the rats to remember the order of the two levers they pressed.A.a, e, b, c, dB.a, e, c, d, bC.e, a, c, d, bD.e, a, c, b, d34.When their nerves were stimulated, the rats .A.forgot their taskpleted the task betterC.made no errors in their taskD.remembered which lever they had pressed for a shorter time35.What can we infer from the article?A.MK801 is a drug that can be used to stimulate nerves.B.The study is expected to be used to help stroke and epilepsy patients recover completely.ing the study to improve human s’ memories still face many challenges.D.Researchers have studied far more complex memories than the ones in the rat experiment.第二节（共5小题；每小题2分，满分10分）根据短文内容，从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。
