The book gives an example of a change at school. A school is changing from having two terms to three terms because there are too may students. Several teens are talking about this. Most of them are unhappy and worried. But Chris is not. He laughs and tells a story about two mice, two "little people" and some cheese.The four are in a maze looking for the cheese. Here, cheese means something important in life, like moving to a new class or getting into college. But they find the cheese is gone. The mice realize that they can't change what has happened and have to find more cheese. This means finding different dreams. The little people, however, can't do this. They are afraid of change so they find no cheese.After Chris finishes the story, the friends understand one thing: to get more cheese, move in a new direction quickly. His friends understand how this can be used in the changes all teens face, such as doing well at school or having good relationships or just feeling good about yourself.1.

湖北省黄冈中学高三英语高中英语阅读理解测试题 百度文库
一、高中英语阅读理解1．阅读理解Most adults find it hard to recall events from their first few years of life and now scientists have found exactly when these childhood memories fade(消失).A new study has found that most three-year-olds can recall a lot of what happened to them over a year earlier, and these memories persist while they are five and six, but by the time they are over seven, these memories decline(衰退) rapidly.Most children by the age of eight or nine can only recall 35% of their experiences from under the age of three, according to the new findings.The scientists behind the research say this is because at around this age the way we form memories begins to change. They say that before the age of seven children do not have a sense of time and place in their memories. In older children, however, the early events they can recall tend to be more adult-like in the way they are formed. Children also have a far faster rate of forgetting than adults. The findings also help to explain why children can often have clear memories of events but then forget them just a couple of years later.The youngsters first visited the laboratory at the age of three and discussed six unique events from their past, such as family outings, trips to the zoo, and the first day of school. The children then returned for a second session between the ages of five and nine to discuss the same events. The researchers found that between the ages of five and seven, the amount of memories the children could recall remained between 63 -72 percent. However, the amount of information eight-to nine-year-old children could recall dropped to 35 and 36 percent.（1）What does the new study tell us?A.Childhood memories decline with years.B.Three-year-old kids are the cleverest.C.Childhood memories can fade easily.D.Some adults cannot recall past events.（2）What does the underlined word "persist" in Paragraph 2 mean?A.Change.B.Remain.C.Appear.D.Return.（3）What can we learn from Paragraph 4?A.Adults cannot have clear memories of past events.B.Children can think like adults when they get older.C.Children under 7 years old have different ways of forming memories.D.Children often forget things because they have no idea of time or place.（4）In the second session, nine-year-old children _________.A.refused to discuss the same eventsB.remembered all their family outingsC.could recall 72 percent of their past eventsD.only remembered a small part of their past events【答案】（1）A（2）B（3）D（4）D【解析】【分析】本文是一篇说明文，介绍了记忆消失的一些知识。

Friends and family have reacted to this news by taking in such pessimistic terms that Mum has come to label this kind of talk as "psychologicaltheft"．It occurs when other people increase your anxiety rather than provide comfort.Last week Mum went to the post office and ran into Geoff who works for the local school. "How areyou？" he asked. "Not great," she replied. "I've been having some trouble with my back and I'm going to need an operation." "Oh, the back is the most dangerous place to operate on!" he responded. "My mum had that and she was in terrible pain. Make sure you get all your affairs in order before you go under the knife-it takes months to get over it!" Geoff's intention had been benign（美好的）．He'd given his own mother's story to show sympathy. However, Mum only heard pain, danger, knife, and months.In the past few weeks, Mum's mates and colleagues have told her stories about how their Auntie Trisha, who had just received an operation, was left speechless after hearing that she required a rapid follow-upoperation；and how their neighbour, who had only a minor operation, never walked again.It's really not that difficult to think of alternative things they could have said that would be equally true, but more beneficial to bear. "The specialists in our hospitals are among the best in the world. It's amazing what they can dothese days!"-that's a good one. "You're going to feel much better afterwards." -that's another.I'm not suggesting patients should be sheltered from the reality of the risks they're taking. But if the decision to have an operation can't really be avoided, what's the purpose of underlining thedrawbacks？It's just common sense to say："Get well soon, and how can I help？"4.What does "psychological theft" in paragraph 1 refer to？______A. The negative comments.B. Psychological disorder.C. The comforting words.D. Physical disability.5.How might the author's mum have felt after hearing what Geoff said？______A. Sympathetic.B. Relieved.C. GratefulD. Worried.6.How did the author explain his idea in the text？______A. By using examples.B. By analysing causes.C. By following time order.D. By discussing research findings.7.What lesson does the author want to teach us？______A. Treat patients with adoration.B. Communicate more with other patients.C. Be well-prepared for unavoidable operations.D. Find an appropriate way to comfort patients.CAre you likely to suffer from loss of memory from time to time？Smart cameras can now remind you.Khai Truong at the University of Toronto in Canada and his colleagues have created a smartphone app that records interactions with household objects. The system involves barcode-like（像条形码的）markers that the user sticks to objects whose use they would like to track.With the smartphone worn around your neck, the app automatically records a short video clip（片段）when a marked object comes into view. "The user is able to look through the application and see the last time they interacted with it," says Truong. The app can help people track the state of objects - such as whether they locked a door or switched a light off - as well as routine actions. At present, it successfully records about 75 percent of interactions, but only works for fixed objects.A similar but separate system can solve the problem. E．Akin Sisbot and Jonathan Connell at IBM Research in New York have invented a ceiling-mounted（安装在天花板上的）camera that monitors objects and people. It continuously watches an area, such as a tabletop in your home, tracking the placement of objects in relation to one another. It also remembers who first brought an object into the field of view as well as if anyone moved it afterwards. When asked, "Where is mywallet？" the system might respond, "It is next to the vase, under the magazines."The camera could also be used in factories or operating theatres to track vital tools, says Sisbot For now, the camera uses a depth sensor to spot things. It is limited to detecting objects thicker than 3 centimetres, meaning that it has trouble with thin objects such as a closed laptop placed flat on a table.The accuracy of such smart camera systems may need to improve before they are widely adopted. "You've got to trust the technology for it to be of any comfort or reassurance." says Geoffrey Ward at the University of Essex in the UK．8.How does the smartphone app mentioned in paragraph 2 work？______A. By recording the movement of marked objects.B. By informing owners of potential dangers.C. By switching off electricity automatically.D. By scanning barcodes of household objects.9.What is the limitation of the ceiling-mounted camera？______A. It hardly senses objects without barcode-like makers.B. It fails to find objects thinner than 3 centimetres.C. It is unlikely to make a sound.D. It is unable to recognize movable objects.10.What's Geoffrey Ward's attitude towards the smart camera systems？______A. Supportive.B. Ambiguous.C. Concerned.D. Sceptical.11.What's the best title for the text？______A. New Smartphones Make Life EasierB. Smart Cameras Help Increase Home SecurityC. New Systems Help People with Memory ProblemsD. Camera Designers Face New ChallengesDImagine that you found a wallet in the street containing a stranger's contact details but no cash. Would you go out of your way to return it to its owner？Now imagine that the same wallet contained a few banknotes. Would that change yourresponse？Alain Cohn of the University of Michigan and his colleagues have taken such behavioral economics around the world.In different countries Dr. Cohn's research assistants entered public buildings like banks, museums and police stations. They handed in a fake wallet to an employee in the reception area, saying they had found it on the street outside, before making a hurried exit. Each wallet was a see-through plastic card case containing three identical business cards with a unique email address and a fake native's name, a shopping list and a key. Most importantly, some wallets also included＄13.45，while some had no cash. Then, the team simply waited to see who would email the "owner" about returning the wallet.In 38 of the 40 countries, the wallets with money in them were returned more often than thosewithout：51% compared with 40% for the cashless. While rates of honesty varied greatly between different countries, the difference within individual countries between the two return rates was quite stable around 11 percentage points. In addition, wallets containing a larger sum of money（＄94.15）were even more likely（by about another ten percentage points）to be returned than those with less, although the "big money" experiment was done in only three countries.With greater temptation（诱惑），then, comes greater honesty - at least when it comes to lost wallets and small cash. Interestingly, though, when Dr. Cohn and his team surveyed a sample of 299 volunteers, most of them predicted that the more money there was in a wallet, the more likely it was that it would be kept.A certain doubt about the motivation of others is probably good for survival, so the response of the general population may be understandable. But is the warm inner satisfaction coming from "doing the right thing" also a powerful reason？As this study shows, such thought is real and universal.12.What does Dr. Cohn's research team try to find out？______A. How long it usually takes before a lost wallet is returned.B. How people of different occupations react to lost walts.C. How people behave differently at public and private places.D. How people respond to lost wallets of varying amounts of cash.13.What is the second paragraph mainly about？______A. Work division in the team.B. Detailed arrangements.C. Contents inside the wallets.D. Preparations made in advance.14.What does Dr. Cohn's research find about rates of honesty？______A. They drop with bigger money.B. They vary from country to country.C.
