As a result, we think we can see something that is not actually there or we ignore (忽视) things that actually are there.Scientists Daniel Simons and Christopher Chabris have researched this phenomenon (现象), which they call "change blindness". Their experiments show how we sometimes just do not see what is in front of our eyes because 4Here is one of their most famous experiments. In this experiment, the participants (参与者) were shown a video of two groups of people (one group in white T-shirts and one group in black T-shirts) who passed basketballs around in a hallway. Each group had three members. Simons and Chabris asked the participants to count how many times the white team passed the ball. While the two teams were passing their balls around, a person dressed up as a big bear walked through the group and stopped to look at the camera. Simons and Chabris found that about half of the research participants did not notice the big bear.( )1. What do Daniel Simons and Christopher Chabris do?A. Scientists.B. Astronauts.C. Engineers.D.

A lot of people still like to ride horses. And horse racing is also popular. So it is not surprising that Americans use this animal when they talk.Long ago, rich or important people rode horses which were very tall. Today, if a girl acts like she is better than everyone else, you might say she should get off her high horse.Yesterday my children wanted me to take them to the playground. But I had to finish my work, so I said, "Hold your horses. Wait until I finish what I am doing." My two boys like tocompete against each other and play in a noisy and not very careful way. I always tell them to stop horsing around or someone could get hurt.Last night, I got a telephone call while I was watching my favourite TV show. I decided not to answer it because wild horses could not drag (拖，拽) me away from the television. There was nothing that could stop me from doing what I wanted to do.Sometimes you get information straight from the horse's mouth. Let us say your teacher tells you there is going to be a test tomorrow. You could say you got the information straight from the horse's mouth.You can lead a horse to water, but you cannot make him drink. That means you can give someone advice but you cannot force him to do something he does not want to do.1. Mike, don't with your brother. You'll break my mirror!2. --I can't stand Mary any more!

Soon, his friend Ben Rogers appeared,eating an apple. Tom pretended (假装) not to see him."Tom!" Ben said. "Why are you working?""Oh, it's you, Ben," Tom said, "I didn't notice you. '"I'm going for a swim," Ben said, "but you don't want to come. You want to work, don't you?It's much nicer!" Ben laughed loudly. Tom looked seriously at Ben and said, "What is work?What do you call work?""Isn't that work?" Ben asked."Well, no. Does a boy get the opportunity to paint a fence every day? You've never painted a fence, have you? Auntie says I have to do it with great care!""Please, Tom. Let me do a little," said Ben."No, Ben. If you do, you'll do it wrong. You can't paint very well. '"I won't do it wrong. I'll be really careful. I'll give you my apple." Tom gave him the brush and paint with a sad face, but in his heart he was glad. His trick had worked.After Ben got tired and left, other boys came along and Tom said the same things to them. Soon, the whole fence was painted white, but not by Tom.

I hadn't driven that type of van before. I let too much petrol into the engine. So I had to wait for twenty minutes. 2I drove to one house to deliver a sofa. There was a problem, though. When I looked in the back of the van, the sofa wasn't there. Then I remembered the boss had told me to collect the sofa from another shop. I'd forgotten to do that. I drove to the shop in the next town. 3 All the shops are closed on Monday afternoons. I would have to call again the next day instead.4When I arrived at the next house, I opened the doors of the van at the back. A heavy chair fell out onto my foot. Ooooooww! I jumped up and down the street on one leg. It was very painful! I was able to walk on one and a half feet up to the house with the chair.The afternoon was getting very hot. I hadn't eaten or drunk anything and didn't have any water in the car. When I went through the next town, I met a traffic jam. 5 Two hours later, I got to the last shop. It was 6'clock.

2018中考英语阅读理解专项训练及参考答案2018中考英语阅读理解专项训练及参考答案(名师出题考前专项训练+答案解析，建议考⽣下载练习)1Do you know how it is when you see someone yawn (打哈⽋) and you start yawning too? Or how hard it is to be among people laughing and not laugh yourself? Well, obviously it’s be cause we have mirror neurons (神经元) in our brains.Put simply, the presence of mirror neurons suggests that every time we see someone else do something, our brains model after it, whether or not we actually perform the same action. This explains a great deal about how we learn to smile, talk, walk, dance or play sports. But the idea goes further: mirror neurons not only appear to explain physical actions，they also tell us that there is a biological basis for the way we understand other people.Mirror neurons can undoubtedly be found all over our brains，but especially in the areas which relate to our ability to use languages，and to understand how other people feel. Researchers have found that mirror neurons relate strongly to language. A group of researchers discovered that if they gave people sentences to listen to (for example: “The hand took hold of the ball”), the same mirror neurons were triggered as when the action was actually performed (in this example, actually taking hold of a ball).Any problems with mirror neurons may well result in problems with behavior. Much research suggests that people with social and behavioral problems have mirror neurons which are not fully functioning (⾏使职责). However, it is not yet known exactly how these discoveries might help find treatments for social disorders.Research into mirror neurons seems to provide us with ever more information about how humans behave, communicate and spend time together. Indeed, it may turn out to be nearly the same important thing for neuroscience as what Einstein’s theory of relativity (相对论) was for physics. And the next time you have the strong feeling to cough in the cinema when someone else does – well, perh aps you’ll understand why.48. Mirror neurons can explain ______.A. why we cry when we are hurtB. why we cough when we catch a coldC. why we smile when we see someone else smileD. why we yawn when we see someone else get up late49. The word “triggered” in Paragraph 3 probably means “______”.A. set offB. cut offC. broken outD. found out50. We can learn from the passage that mirror neurons _______.A. relate to human behavior and communicationB. decide our knowledge and language abilitiesC. result in bad behavior and social disordersD. control human actions and appearances51.

Passage 1The Art of the ElephantsIf your cat walked across something you were painting and left footprints behind, would you consider your cat an artist? What if your bird held a colored pencil in its beak（喙） and painted on a piece of paper? Most people may think of animal art as a joke, but some people have been taking it very seriously.Elephants were used for hundreds of years in Thailand’s logging industry(伐木业). They moved wood from forests in areas where there were no roads. At the beginning of this century, when the forests of Thailand began to quickly disappear, the government put a stop to logging. All of a sudden, many elephants in Thailand no longer had a way to make a living.Some elephants were treated badly. Others had to try to live on thei r own and couldn’t find enough food to eat. There were once tens of thousands of elephants in Thailand. Today, there are less than five thousand. When two Russian American artists, Vitaly Komar and Alex Melamid, first heard about the troubled elephants in Thailand, they knew that something had to be done to forever change the way people treated Thai elephants. Then, they came up with an idea to help these elephants.Komar and Melamid visited elephant camps in Thailand and began to show the elephant trainers how to teach the elephants to paint. At first, the trainers had to guide the elephants’ trunks. The elephants became more comfortable doing this with practice—and lots of sweet snacks—and finally started to paint on their own. The strange idea that Komar and Melamid had to save the elephants actually began to work. They even helped found several elephant art schools in Thailand and in other Asian countries. The elephants and their trainers go there to learn about painting and get supplies they need.Today, people begin to buy elephant artworks from galleries(画廊) all around the world. Some are even willing to pay more than ＄2,000 for the works of the elephant artists! Some people compare the cheerful, brightly-colored artworks to the works of some great abstract(抽象地) painters. Some people are just happy to buy these special and original(原创地) artworks. Others think they are helping the troubled elephants in this way. The next time you see a piece of colorful abstract art, find out who the artist is. You just may be surprised at what you learn!1.What may most people think of animal art?___________________________________________________________2. What did elephants do in Thailand’s logging industry?___________________________________________________________ 3. How many elephants are there in Thailand today?___________________________________________________________ 4. What was Komar and Melamid’s idea to help the elephants in Thailand?___________________________________________________________ 5.Please list one reason why people buy elephant artworks. ___________________________________________________________【主旨大意】本文是一篇说明文，介绍的是大象艺术品。
