21．（6分）“At almost any given age，most of us are getting better at some things and worse at others，”Joshua Hartshorne，an MIT cognitive(认知的)science researcher and the lead author of a study looking at how intelligencechanges as we age，told Business Insider.His team quizzed thousands of people aged 10—90 on their ability to do things like remembering lists of words，recognizing faces，learning names，and doing math.Their results suggest that no matter your age，there’s almost always a new peak on the horizon.The human brain has a remarkable capacity to recognize and identify faces，and scientists are just beginning to learn why.On average，we know that our ability to learn and remember new faces appears to peak shortly after our 30th birthday.Having trouble focusing? The study suggests that our ability to maintain attention improves with age，reaching its peak around age 43.While younger adults may excel in the speed and flexibility of information processing，adults approaching their mid-years may have the greatest capacity to remain focused.Dating is tough.One of the reasons could be that we’re generally bad at reading other people’s emotions until we reach our late 40s.That’s according to one component of Hartshorne’s study，which involved showing thousands of people images of faces cropped tightly around the eye area.Participants were asked to describe the emotion the person in the photo was feeling.Performance peaked for people aged around 48.Many people believe that their math skills decline after they leave school and stop practicing arithmetic.But the next time you try to split up a check，keep this in mind:your ability to do basic subtraction and division doesn’t reach its apex until your 50th birthday.Ever wonder why you always lose at Scrabble? Good news:Your best days may be ahead.According to people’s scores on multiple—choice vocabulary tests，most of us don’t reach our peak wordsmithing abilities until we’re in our late 60s or early 70s.1、What did the scientists mainly test during the research?A．Communication ability. B．Athletic ability.C．Intelligence ability. D．Reading ability.2、What does the underlined word“apex”in paragraph 5 mean?A．Destination. B．Top. C．Goal. D．Minimum.3、Who is most likely to succeed according to the text?A．Lucy，72，trying to win at Scrabble.B．Tom，26，trying to identify strangers’ faces.C．Jack，48，trying to focus his attention for a long time.D．Lily，43，trying to read the emotions in different eyes.4、Wh at does Hartshorne’s study mainly tell us?A．There is no end to learning.B．Constant dropping wears away the stone.C．Genius is nothing but labor and diligence.D．A foot may prove short while an inch may prove long.22．（8分）Have you ever thought that your life will be perfect if something in your outside world changes? You may say, “I will live happily if I find my soul mate.” Y ou may say, “If the perfect job comes along, I will get satisfaction. My problem is that my boss is stupid.” Or you may say, “If I have a child, I will know what it is like to be loved.” The problem is that it is not the outside world that prevents you from experiencing peace, love and joy. Instead, it is your own internal (内部的) patterns that get in your way.To prove this point, at my weekend programs, I had my students look at a flower on my table. Then I asked them to share their experiences. Some showed a state of complete joy because staring at the flower reminded them of their wedding or a great trip with their lovers. Others said the flower made them angry because it reminded them of a gift given by a former partner who turned against them. Some students even told me that the flower reminded them of their beloved grandmothers’ gardens with some shedding tears (流泪)of joy and others shedding tears of sadness. However, the flower was still just a flower.Our internal pat terns decide whether each moment is filled with peace, anger, joy, love or sadness. When you don’t realize that it is your own internal state that is creating your experience, you are likely to blame (责备)the external situations in your life. Most people ar en’t taught that emotion is a choice. And they aren’t taught how to change those lower emotional patterns such as anger, anxiety, sadness and so on. Next time, when you meet something bad, please look at your internal state. When you accept that you are responsible for your own state, and find the courage to turn inward, you can step out of being a slave to what shows up in your external world.1、Why does the author mention the examples in Paragraph 1 ?A．To lead to the topic of this passage.B．To complain about imperfect life.C．To show common problems in life.D．To encourage people to change the outside world.2、How does the author prove his opinion?A．By giving examples. B．By doing an experiment.C．By telling a related story. D．By comparing other people’s opinions.3、What does the author advise us to do in the last paragraph?A．To step out of negative emotions.B．To pay attention to our internal world.C．To share our real emotions with others.D．To use different methods to change bad emotions.4、What does the author want to express through the passage?A．Our external world matters a lot.B．Our emotions can affect our health.C．Our internal patterns truly decide our emotions.D．Our experiences have a great influence on our emotions.23．（8分）Have you ever been to France before? It is not only a country of great food, fashion and art. It’s also home to the most influential painters in the world.Edouard ManetHe was one of the first artists to paint modern life. He began to paint in his own style, but still used some of Couture’s techniques like thick lines and dark colors. He was greatly influenced by Claude Monet and Berthe Morisot, which can be seen in his use of light shades. Most of his paintings had scenes of daily life on the streets of Paris. His works include Olympia and The Absinthe Drinker.Camille PissarroIn his early years, Pissarro painted scenes of a river or a path from memory. After meeting Claude Monet and Paul Cezanne, who painted in a more realistic style, he changed his course to Impressionism. During his career, he experimented with various styles, and finally formed his own one. His works include Old Market at Rouen and Sunset at St. Charles.Vincent van GoghHe had a huge influence on art in the 20th century. His early works were most painted in somber tones. However, influenced by Monet, Pissarro, and Bernard, he adopted brighter colors in his works, and started creating his own techniques. Although he had produced more than 2,000 works of art, the artist sold only one painting during his lifetime —Red Vineyard at Arles. His works include The Potato Eaters, Starry Night and Bedroom in Arles.Claude MonetHe was the founder of the Impressionist movement and completely changed the French painting in the 19th century. Although he first started by selling charcoal caricatures（木炭讽刺画）in Paris, he soon started painting with oil after meeting Eugene Boudin, who taught him to use oil paints and also encouraged him to paint outdoors. And then he painted with his own style. His works include Impression, Sunrise and The Water Liles.1、What can we learn about Edouard Manet’s paintings?A．They reflected the changes of life.B．They were mainly about daily life.C．They were all painted in bright colors.D．They were painted in Morisot’s styl e.2、Which painting was sold by Vincent van Gogh in person?A．The Potato Eaters.B．Bedroom in Arles.C．Red Vineyard at Arles.D．Starry Night.3、What’s the common point of the four painters from the text?A．All of them were given many awards in their life.B．All of them were taught by some famous painters.C．All of them had a good taste in delicious food.D．All of them had their unique styles in painting.（8分）Microsoft has developed a new smartphone app that interprets eye signals and translates them into letters, 24．allowing people with ALS（渐冻症）to communicate with others from a phone.The GazeSpeak app combines a smartphone’s camera with artificial intelligence to recognize eye movements in real time and convert them into letters, words and sentences.For people suffering from ALS also known as motor neurone（神经元）disease, eye movement can be the only way to communicate. “Current eye-tracking input systems for people with ALS or other motor disabilities are expensive, not constant under sunlight, and require fr equent readjustment and considerable, relatively fixed systems,” said Xiaoyi Zhang, a researcher at Microsoft who developed the technology.“To reduce the drawbacks…we created GazeSpeak, an eye-gesture communication system running on a smartphone, and is designed to be low-cost, constant, portable and easy to learn.”The app is used by the listener by pointing their smartphone at the speaker. A chart stuck to the back of the smartphone is then used by the speaker to determine which eye movements to make for communication.The label shows four grids（方格）of letters, which each correspond to a different eye movement. By looking up, down, left or right, the speaker selects which grids they want the letters belong to. The artificial intelligence algorithm （计算程序）is then able to predict the word or sentence they are trying to say.Zhang’s research, Smartphone-Based Gaze Gesture Communication for People with Motor Disabilities, is set to be presented at the Conference on Human Factors in Computing Systems in May.1、How does the new smartphone app help people with ALS?A．By connecting its camera with sufferers’ appearance.B．By communicating with people directly with a camera.C．By changing eye movements into detailed written information.D．By looking into the eyes of the sufferers.2、Why did the researchers develop GazeSpeak？A．GazeSpeak will have fewer disadvantages.B．Current systems can’t function effectively.C．GazeSpeak can be properly used in the medical field.D．Current systems can increase the risk of motor disabilities.3、What can we know according the text?A．Sufferers’ eye movements are determined by GazeSpeak.B．Current systems are solid but costly for sufferers.C．GazeSpeak has helped people a lot.D．GazeSpeak hasn’t been pract ically on the market.25．（10分）Barcelona Ciclo Tour, 1 of the 10 best bike tours in the world!Gaudi, the ancient streets of the gothic quarter, the multi-cultural district of El Raval. the beaches and modernism buildings, by bike!The Daily Barcelona Bike TourThe best way to see Barcelona is by bike!
