21. Which hotel is related to environmental protection?A. GLENEAGLES HOTELB. COMO HOTELC. CRUISES HOTELD. TREMEZZO HOTEL22. The purpose of this passage is to __________.A. explain how to enjoy holiday livesB. advertise for hotel serviceC. attract more people to travel thereD. introduce some winning worksBI first saw a crayfish (小龙虾) around 2001. A friend brought one into the office and told me it was a female animal that was reproducing (繁殖) on its own. We realized the new type of animal was reproducing itself by the millions.We think that in the 1990s, two crayfish got children either in a pet store or in the wild. Something went wrong and one of the daughters laid eggs without any males. It’s not unus ual for such a sudden change like this to happen, but normally, the children can’t live on or reproduce, and the new type won’t spread. For some reason, this daughter and her children did.In some way, many of the new crayfish appeared in German pet stores. They would naturally increase, and their owners would often set the children free, which let the animals reproduce and spread farther. In 2003, scientists officially proved that animals like crayfish were, in fact, reproducing themselves. They’ve gone fr om that single female 25 years ago to millions, or maybe billions, of the same crayfish found throughout Europe and Madagascar.In 2018, we published a map of the clones’ genetic code (克隆类遗传密码图). This type is becoming a really useful tool for researchers like me: We can use crayfish-like animals to study everything from cancer development to the effects of drugs on the brain. Now that we know this code, we can start to try it in the lab. For example, we might try to make these animals grow to larger sizes so people can sell them for food. This is already happening in Madagascar. It turns out that crayfish are pretty tasty. It’s easy to get lots of them too because they grow up in about three months and lay hundreds of eggs. Just put one in a pool and wait.23. What do people think happened to crayfish in the 1990s?A. Crayfish’s children could not live on or reproduce .B. Crayfish got their lives in a scientific way in the lab.C. A daughter crayfish got a strange ability to reproduce.D. All animals like crayfish could reproduce themselves.24. What does Paragraph 3 mainly tell us?A. The reason why crayfish became pets.B. The place where crayfish came from.C. The different ways to raise crayfish.D. The fact of crayfish’s self-reproduction.25. The research on the birth of crayfish will be helpful in __________.① diet ② medicine ③ brain ④ oceanA. ①②B. ③④C. ①③D. ②④26. Where could the passage be picked from?A. a cookbookB. a science magazineC. an advertisementD. a guide brochureCOn some Swedish trains, passengers carry their e-tickets in their hands. About 3,000 Swedes have chosen to put microchips (微芯片) beneath the skin between fingers. The chips, which cost around $150, can hold personal facts, credit-card numbers and medical records. They depend on Radio Frequency ID (RFID), a technology already used in payment cards, tickets and passports.There are 10,000 people with chip implants (植入) around the world. Sweden, home to several microchip companies, has the largest share. People can order do-it-yourself kits. And sometimes they get T-shirts that say “I got chipped”.Jowan Österlund, the founder of BioHax, a Swedish firm, argues that chips are safer than mobile phones because it is harder to steal information from them. But some people still have worries. RFID chips do not have GPS, but they leave a trail when they are used to open doors, operate printers, etc. In 2004 a Mexican government official and his workmates had chips placed in their arms that tracked who had accessed important information.So why take the risk? Less trouble is one reason. The equipment for microchip implants exists wherever new payments are accepted. Sweden is well suited, as the world’s second most cash-less country (after Canada).But the chips have little use unless all companies agree to work together. Few shops recognize this chip implants yet, even those organizations that do have had some troubles in the beginning. When Swedish rail officials began scanning passengers’microchips, they saw private information rather than evidence of ticket buying. For now the chips are used largely as business cards, keys or to store important information.So the desire to win notice or admiration is another explanation. Chip enthusiasts want to equip human bodies with technology. Elon Musk, an American businessman has spent money on this technology that connects machines with human brains, which caused fears from some Christians.27. What is special about the microchips mentioned in the passage?A. They have already become part of human bodies.B. They have offered access to personal information.C. They have become a symbol of modern society.D. They have used the latest technology in payment.28. Jowan failed to consider the fact that __________.A. the information is safer to keep on chips than phonesB. RFID chips can also have GPS as mobiles phones doC. information on chips is likely to be accessed and let outD. some microchips have already been equipped with GPS29. Why are people willing to risk putting chips into their bodies?A. Because developed countries are well prepared for chip implants.B. Because they want to save themselves the trouble of cash payment.C. Because they encourage more companies to recognize chip implants.D. Because it is an attention-catching technology that makes things easier.30. We can infer from Paragraph 5 that __________.A. There is a long way to go before the implanted chips are widely applied.B. Many companies take a wait-and-see attitude towards this technology.C. The chip implants have caused difficulty for both users and companies.D. Microchips always successfully offer information about ticket buying.DMe : Hello Dad! I’ve an exam today.He : All the best son! I’m getting a strong feeling. You’ll rock it today. May god bless you!Me : Thank you dad. Bye! And I hang up the call.My friend standing beside me chuckles, “Do you do this before every exam?” I answer, “Yes, I feel good and encouraged, and so do they.” It hardly takes a minute to call up your parents, but it gives a lot of confidence and makes their day too.Not calling up parents is indeed a common mistake college students make. For me the most common mistake is treating it like school. When I went to university, most of the people around me came straight from school. They had the thought like children who were being forced to do something. They skipped classes, sat at the back talking during lectures and even didn’t do the reading! They were still in “school” mode, thinking that the point was to get through it with the least effort.For my part, I was there after working in a beer factory for three years. I knew that I had gone to university because I wanted to learn. I wasn’t there because my teachers at school made me go, or my parents made me go, or because my friends were all going. I had chosen to go. I think that this put me in a different mind.I read all the set texts and I went to all the lectures and seminars. Don’t get me wrong. I had fun too, but I was there to learn and I learnt a lot. I enjoyed it and it was rewarding to learn about the authors, their works, the critic's opinions etc.The kids around me thought that reading six novels for a module and going to alecture for each novel was too much work. They would read one novel, go to the lecturefor that one and write their essay on that one book. They thought that they werereally clever to work out an easier way of doing it. But they were tricking themselvesout of an education!There are other mistakes that may cause future regrets for the college students.A large number of them focus too hard on getting good grades, showing no interestin out-of-class side projects. Some complain that they are too busy because ofschool. As a matter of fact, they do not seriously treat all the free resources that universities have to offer.31. The writer begins the passage with a dialogue in order to __________.A. show off his writing skillsB. expecthis friend to admire himC. lead in the topic naturallyD. showhe likes making phone calls32. What do most university students usually do in the opinion of the writer?A. They attend every class for free chatting.B. They show little interest in active learning.C. They avoid reading books all the time.D. They highly praise independent learning.33. Why did the writer want to go to college?A. Because his parents forced him to.B. Because helearned from his friend.C. Because his teachers asked him to.D. Because hewas dying for knowledge.34. What do the underlined sentences in Paragraph 5 mean?A. They lost their learning chances without noticing it.B. They made up excuses for their laziness in learning.C. They often pretended to be working hard at everything.D. They told lies about what they were doing in college.35. According to the passage, college students are supposed to __________.A. stop being hard on themselves academicallyB. make the most of the university they go to.C. have some relaxation after taking classesD. feel thankful for what they are doing now第二节（共5小题，每小题2分, 满分10分）根据黑布林文本阅读，从每题所给的A、B、C和D四个选项中选出最佳选项。

Grandparents Peter and Chris stepped on the long journey after deciding to “do something a bit different”. They traversed (横穿) cities, deserts, mountains and everything in between across Europe, the Middle East and the East Asia. The married couple of 37 years enjoyed themselves with delicious local food and spent most nights inside a tiny tent put up wherever they could find shelter.Peter, 66, said the moment they finally had a look at the famous Great Wall after a year and a half of cycling 30 miles a day was “really exciting”. At the end of their journey, the special pair didn’t fly home but instead choose to book a cabin (舱) inside a 400m-long container ship. The final part was a three-week voyage from Singapore across the Indian Ocean and into the Mediterranean Sea before arriving at Southampton.“You never know what the day is going to bring. All you know is that you aregoing to get on your bike and cycle. Every day is an adventure and every day is new. Overall, the experience is absolutely unbelievable, ” Peter said.Peter and Chris initially set out to cycle from Britain in January 2017 but were forced home. They had cycled all the way to Hungary when Peter slipped on tiles and broke his leg. After seven months of recovery, the couple set out again in Britain. They finally arrived in China in November 2018.Both Peter and Chris agreed that the best part of the entiretrip was coming across the kindness of strangers along the way, many of whom invited the couple for food and drink.

Fine particle pollution declined rapidly following the new rules on industrial emissions and the promotion of cleanfuels, according to the study, published on Monday in the National Academy of Sciences of the United States of America. The study, which focused on the period from 2013-2017, was conducted by a group of Chinese researchers and scientists.PM2.5, as this kind of pollution is known, is so small that it can enter the bloodstream, potentially leading to cancer, stroke and heart attack in the long term. After rapid industrialization and weak regulations left the country with a reputation for smog and bad air quality, Chinese authorities started to take air pollution seriously in 2008.In 2013, Beijing had PM2.5 concentrations 40 times higher than levels recommended by the World Health Organization (WHO), and the governmentintroduced its toughest-ever clean air policies that year. The study found “signif icant declines” in PM2.5 levels across China from 2013-2017, with new standards for thermal power plants and industrial boilers, the replacement of old factories, and new emissions rules for vehicles. The authors say this “confirms the effectiveness of Chi na’s recent clean air actions.”These recent actions have seen Beijing fall out of the top 100 most-polluted cities in Asia in recent years, with the pollution levels 10% lower across Chinese cities between 2017 and 2018, according to a report by Greenpeace and AirVisual. Shanghai, the country’s largest city and financial capital, has also made environmental advances, such as adopting strict recycling regulations. Public pressure has been the driving force of pollution policy in China.Air pollution is a global issue, and India is now home to 22 of the 30 most polluted world cities, according to the Greenpeace and AirVisual report. In the US, a recent study said air pollutionwas linked to more than 107,000 deaths in 2011 and cost the country $866 billion.8. What saved many lives in China?A. China’s clean air policies.B. The increased particle pollution.C. The study by researchers.D. The reduction of the clean fuels.9. Why did PM2.5 cause many diseases?A. It was called smog.B. It made the air cleaner.C. It went into the blood.D. It had a bad reputation.10. When did Chinese government decide to treat the pollution?A. In 2008.B. In 2013.C. In 2017.D. In 2018.11. What did people in Shanghai do to protect the environment?A. They built the thermal power plants.B. They stopped using industrial boilers.C. They made Shanghai financial capital.D. They tried to recycle some rubbish.DIn the 1994 film Forrest Gump, there’s a famous saying, “Life is like a box of chocolates; you never know what you’re gonna get.” The surprise is part of the fun. Now blind box toys are bringing the magic of surprise to online shopping.A blind box toy is hidden inside uniform packaging(包装) butinvisible from the outside. You don’t know what will be inside, although the toys typically come from pop culture, ranging from movies to comics and cartoons.Blind boxes have caught on since they were first introduced from Japan to China in 2014. According to a 2019 Tmall report, the mini-series of Labubu blind box. designed by Hong Kong -born Kasing Lung, was named Champion of Unit Sales with 55,000 sold in just 9 seconds during the Singles Day shopping event. Most customers for blind boxes are young people aged 18 to 35.According to The Paper, blind box toys are popular in part because of their cute appearances. The typically cute cartoon figurines (小塑像) come in miniature (微型的) sizes, making them suitable for display almost anywhere.Even if blind boxes are not their top choice for decorations(装饰品), the mystery and uncertainty of the process also attracts people. It’s the main reason why people buy blind boxes one after another.“Fear of the unknown is always a part of the box-opening process,” said Miss Cao, 24, who lives and works in Shenyang. Speaking to Sina News, she said: “Until you open all the boxes, you cannot know what it is inside.”Opening a blind box is a delightful little surprise for our mundane daily lives, something small but fun to wait for each day, week or month. When people open this simple little box, they may be disappointed, but the uncertainty is part of the fun. People will open more blind boxes and hope for a better outcome.When someone re-makes Forrest Gump, don't be surprised if he says, “Life is like a blind box.”12.What feature of blind boxes attracts people?A.They often get toys designed by famous artists.B.They don’t know what they’ve got until they open them.C.They can learn about pop culture from the packaging.D.They can experience the excitement of online shopping.13.Why does Miss Cao love blind box toys?。

Where can you have a good time with the local people?A.Sun LakeB.Ali Mountain C Peng Lake D. Gao XiongBChristmas is a great time with family and friends. One of the best ways to bond with (团结)one another is through games. So why not play some great Christmas party games?Present pickup is a great game for both young and young at heart. It can be played inside or outside. To prepare for the game, you will need to have some small boxes and some small gift bags. This is a great way to use the paper from last year. There should be as many presents as players. You’ll also need four or more candy canes(甘蔗). Two large boxes can be used to drop the presents in.Two ropes will be needed. Take one rope and make a starting line. The other rope will mark the finish line. Place the large boxes at the finish line. Equally divide the presents into two groups. It’s best to have an equal number of boxes and bags on each side to make it fair.The first player on each team will take two candy canes. When it’s time to start, they’ll pick up the presents only using the candy canes. Each player must run his present to the box or finish line and drop it in. If it’s dropped on the way ,the player starts over. After they drop their presents, the players will run the candy canes to the next players. This continues until all the presents have been picked up. The first team to finish wins.To play kids against adults, you may want to put easier presents in a group for the kids and more difficult ones for the adults. There are many variations to the game, so have some fun and come up with your own.24. What can we learn about the game present pickup?A. It needs a lot of new paper.B. It is played only in the open air.C. It is enjoyed by people of all ages.D. It needs more players than presents.25. What is the use of the two ropes?A. To separate the game players.B. To mark the starting and finish lines.C. To create the difficulty of the game.D. To make sure of the fairness of the game.26. What should players avoid in the game?A. Running to the finish line.B. Putting the presents in the box.C. Dropping the presents on the way.D. Picking up the presents with the candy canes.27. What does the underlined word “variations” in the last paragraph mean?A. meaningsB. answersC. interestsD. changesCDreams are expressions of thoughts, feelings and events that pass through our minds while we are sleeping. People dream about one to two hours each night. We may have four to seven dreams in one night. Everybody dreams. But only some people can remember their dreams.The word “dream” comes from an old word in English that means “joy”and “music”. We dream in color. Our dreams often include all the senses—smells, sounds, sights, tastes and things we touch. Sometimes we dream the same dream over and over again. These repeated dreams are often unpleasant. They are bad dreams that sometimes frighten us.Artists, writers and scientists sometimes say they get ideas from dreams. For example, the singer Paul McCartney of the Beatles said he awakened one day with the music for the song Yesterday in his head. The writer Mary Shelley said she had a very strong dream about a scientist using a machine to make an animal come alive. When she woke up, she began to write her book about a scientist named Frankenstein who made a frightening monster(妖怪).In China, people believed that dreams were a way to visit with family members who had died. Some native American tribes(部落) and Mexican civilizations believe dreams are a different world we visit when we sleep.28.How do people feel when they dream the same dream?A. Lucky.B. Tired.C. Relaxed.D. Frightened.29. What can we learn from Paragraph 3?A. Dreams are boring.B. Dreams are scary.C. Dreams are helpful.D. Dreams are real.30. What do Chinese people think of the dream?A. Dreaming is bad for life.B. They can visit their dead family member.C.Dream is another world for themD. Dream means good luck.31. What may be the best title of the passage?A. Useful dreams.B. Dreams.C. Bad dreams.D. New ideas from dreDYou may not have heard of it before, but solid rain (固体雨)has been helping Mexican farmers fight droughts(干旱) for over ten years. The magic solid rain looks like sugar and it can take in water up to 500 times as its own size and keep it in the ground for up to a year.The story of solid rain began in 1970, when American scientists developed a product used to take in water and help keep babies’ bottoms dry. However, a Mexican chemical engineer saw this magic product as an opportunity to fight the drought. He developed a different kind of the product, which could be mixed with soil and slowly feed water to crops over a long period of time. His company, Solid Rain, has been quietly selling the product to Mexican farmers for over 10 years.Solid rain seems to be working wonders in Mexico. However, it has not come into use around the world. Well, that’s mainly because a lot of people still don’t know about it. The Mexican company has invested (投资) almost nothing into marketing, relying instead on word of mouth between Mexican farmers. However, recently, they have gotten requests from other dry countries like India and Australia.Solid rain has received the Ecology and Environment Award, but it has also received some negative views. Dr. Linda Scott says that the product is hardly new and that there is no scientific evidence that it can hold water for a year or last in the ground for ten years. Besides, solid rain can cause more harm than good in certain conditions.However, real-life use seems to show that solid rain is actually of great useto their farms. Frank Torres, a former green bean farmer used to rely on it even though drought wasn’t such a big issue. He said that the production had increased by 50%.32. What is the usage of solid rain?A. Increasing the amount of rain.B. keeping babies’ bottoms dryC. Providing water for crops.D. Improving the soil.33. What can be inferred about solid rain from Paragraph 3?A. All Mexican farmers think it useful.B. Other countries don’t want to use it.C. More advertisement for it is needed.D. It is kept as a technical secret in Mexico.34. What is Dr. Linda Scott’s opinion on solid rain?A. He is doubtful about the effect of solid rain.B. Scientists should test the effect of solid rain.C. Solid rain reduces the production of crops.D. Solid rain does more harm than good to crops.35. Where is the text probably taken from?A. An art book.B. A popular website.C. A fashion magazine.D. A scientific journal.第二节：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。

洛阳市2018-2019高一上学期期末英语试题和答案
洛阳市2018-2019学年第一学期期末考试高一英语试卷参考答案AWe always knew our daughter Kendall was going to be a performer of some sort. She entertained people in our small town by putting on shows when she was only three or four. She sang like a little angelWhen Kendall was five, she was clearing her throat frequently. We took her to our local hospital where she was diagnosed with Tourette`s Syndrome(图雷特综合征)It was pretty destructive because other children made fun of her, and sadly, even a teacher laughed at her. She only had one or two friends, but that was okay because they were - and continue to be -real, the kind who stick by her, no matter what. Through all this Kendall continued to sing and entertain. Remarkably, her tics(抽搐)disappeared when she sang.When Kendall was sixteen, we thought she was pretty much out of the woods. However, a terrible accident happened. At a birthday party, Kendall hopped (H t )on a friend for a piggyback ride. Kendall few over his back and landed on the Moor-on her neck. An ambulance rushed her to the hospital where she spent the next week, paralyzed( )from the neck down. However, her biggest concern wasn't whether she would walk again, but whether she would be able to audition (i T)for American Idol. Her friend brought a microphone and every day, Kendall tried hard to practise singing. It was more important for her to pick up that mic than a spoon or fork.On the day Kendall auditioned for American Idol -only three months after her accident -we cried tears of joy. And our tears turned into shouts when she was given a golden ticket to Hollywood.Kendall is eighteen now, living every day to its fullest and having some good success.21. How did some of Kendalls friends react to her disease?A. They made fun of her.B. They laughed at her.C. They were always there for her.D. They gave whatever she wanted.22 What's the authors attitude towards Kendall?A. She believes Kendall can make it big some day.B. She worries Kendall 's illness will worsenC. She feels sorry for not having found a better treatment.D. She is always keen on charity.23. In what order is the passage developed?A. PlaceB. TimeC. SpaceD. Importance24. From the passage, we can infer Kendall is a girlA. with a strong mindB. who has long-time fansC. popular among classmatesD. who prefers music to sportsBArt is very important to kids. Here are some reasons:Art helps children with their physical development. For example, when kids work with play dough(R K ) they can lean to better control their fingers. Drawing helps develop hand and finger muscles that are needed to properly hold and use a pencil.Art activities also help children`s social and emotional development. Children learn about themselves and others through art activities. Taking part in art activities really helps them build self-esteem(自尊). It teaches them about their uniqueness while allowing them to express happiness, joy and-pride.Finally, art is important because it allows children to be creative. Through takingpart in art activities, they 'll learn to think and design things and make them.Since art is so important to kids, parents should make it an everyday activity. Luckily, they can do that. Even if you don' t have a lot of things that help kids take part in art activities at home, it ' s really easy to set up a low-cost easel (画架) in your- home. For toddles children who have only recently learnt to walk would want to include very basic things such as finger point, play dough and fat crayons. For preschoolers(children who are no longer babies but are not yet old enough to go to school), you'll want to add things like paint brushes, an easel, glue, tape and scissors. As the kids get older and start exploring their creativity, parents will start -adding more things to the art supplies.It's extremely important for parents to make art activities open-ended because we don' t want to limit children`s creativity. Children have their own thoughts and ideas of how things should look and they come to art with their own special experience. Open-ended art activities are good for children`s development abilities. They build feelings of independence, confidence and eagerness to learn through open-ended activities.25. How is art helpful to children?A. It makes them love schoolB. It encourages them to do housework.C. It improves their gradesD. It helps them develop physically26. What can we learn from Paragraph 5?A. Parents should prepare everything for art at homeB. Toddlers need glue, tape and scissors for art activities.C, It's not hard to get children to join in art activitiesD. A low-cost easel is not good for toddlers27. In the authors opinion, open-ended art activities areA. just suitable for preschoolersB. useful to everyoneC. limited to children's creativityD. good for kids in many ways28. For whom is the passage intendedA. TeachersB. ParentsC. StudentsD. ArtistsCLondon 's Kew Gardens reopens its Temperate House, the world 's largest Victorian glasshouse.For the first time in its history, the Grade I-listed structure was restored to bare metal and modernized. More than 5, 280 liters of paint was used, enough to cover four football fields, an 15, 000 panes of glass was replaced. The house opened to the public on Saturday, May 5.The large greenhouse is now home to an arranged collection of different plants from areas of temperate( 温带的)climates around the world - areas sometimes described as the Goldilocks zone of the planet, where plants are safe from coldness.These include some of the rarest(稀有的) and most threatened species(物种)，for which the botanic(植物的) garden is a final shelter(避护所). Among the more than1，00 different species of temperate plants is the extremely rare South African cycad Encephalartos woodji, a plant that has disappeared from the wild and is now found in botanic gardens and private collections.This tree has been named "the loneliest plant in the world ", because only male plants remain -each a clone of the specimen at Kew, which was collected in the middle of the 19th century. Some plants contain both male and female parts, but this species requires a female to produce seeds.Lead gardener Scott Taylor, who is overseeing the Temperate House collection stressed the importance of having an insurance population of one of the worlds mostendangered plant.“We have an important job to keep all of these things going, "Mr. Taylor said. "For some plants, they are down to a few in the wild -a wildfire, an earthquake, and they`re gone”29. Where may you find South African cycad Encephalartos woodji?A. In any of London's gardensB. In a personal collection of temperate plantsC. In the laboratory of cloning plantsD. In the wild in London30. Why does Scott Taylor think the trees are endangered?A. There aren't such male trees any moreB. There aren't female trees any moreC. Because of the overhunting of the treesD. Because of the difficulty in producing.31. What would be the best title for the passage?A. The Grade I-listed Structure Was CompletedB. The World's Largest Glasshouse ReopensC. How to Build a GreenhouseD. How to Protect the WildlifeDPlaying video games for hours on end may prepare your child to become a laparoscopic(腹腔镜检査的) doctor one day， a new study has shown. Reorganization of the brain＇s cortical(皮质的，皮层的) network in young men with experience of playing video games gives them an advantage not only in playing the games but also in performing other tasks requiring visuomotor (视觉眼肌运动)skills. Researchers from the Centre for Vision Research at York University in Canada compared a group of 13 young men in their twenties, who had played video games at least four hours a week for the past three years, to a group of 13 young men without that experience. The subjects were placed in a functional magnetic resonanceimaging(FMRI) machine and asked to complete a series of increasingly difficult visuomotor tasks, such as using a joystick or looking one way while reaching another way.By using high resolution brain imaging(MRI), we were able to actually measure which brain areas were activated at a given time during the experiment, " said Lauren Sergio, associate professor. "We tested how the skills learned from video game experience can transfer over to new tasks, rather than just looking at brain activity while the subject plays a videoThe finding that using visuomotor skills can reorganize how the brain works offers hope for future research into the problems experienced by Azheimer's patients, who struggle to complete the simplest visuomotor tasksLead author Joshua Granek added that, in future, it would be interesting to study if the brain pattern changes are affected by the type of video games a player has used and the actual total number of hours he has played, and to study female video gamers, whose brain patterns in earlier studies were different from those of males.32. What do the underlined words The subjects " in Paragraph 1 refer to?A. The 13 young gamersB. The 13 young men not interested in gamesC. The people involved in the studyD. Those having trouble with visuomotor tasks.33. What is different for video gamers according to the passage?A. The lifestyle.B. The names of the gamesC. The study they join inD. The work of brain areas.34. How did the researchers carry out the research?A. By studying how experienced skills work on new tasks.B. Only by watching the brain activity.C. By playing video gamesD. By reorganizing how brain network works at different times35. What does the passage mainly talk about?A. The advantages of playing video gamesB. The effect of watching videosC. The ways to deal with AlzheimerD. The research into brain diseases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。
