Reading Comprehension (40)AMotherhood may make women smarter and may help prevent dementia(痴呆) in old age by bathing the brain in protective hormones, U.S. researchers reported on Thursday.Tests on rats show that those who raise two or more litters of pups do considerably better in tests of memory and skills than rats who have no babies, and their brains show changes that suggest they may be protected against diseases such as Alzheimer’s(早老痴呆症). University of Richmond psychology professor Craig Kinsley believes his findings will translate into humans.“Our research shows that the hormones of pregnancy are protecting the brain, including estrogen, which we know has many neuroprotective (保护神经的) effects,” Kinsley said.It’s rat data but humans are mammals just like these animals are mammals,” he added in a telephone interview. “The y go through pregnancy and hormonal changes.”Kinsley said he hoped public health officials and researchers will look to see if having had children protects a woman from Alzheimer’s and other forms of age-related brain decline.“When people think about pr egnancy, they think about what happens to babies and the mother from the neck down,” said Kinsley, who presented his findings to the annual meeting of the Society of Neuroscience in Orlando, Florida.“They do not realize that hormones are washing on the brain. If you look at female animals who have never gone through pregnancy, they act differently toward young. But if she goes through pregnancy, she will sacrifice her life for her infant—that is a great change in her behavior that sho wed in genetic alterationsto the brain.” 46. How do scientists know “Motherhood may make women smarter”?A. Some researc hers have told them.B. Many women say so.C. They know it by experimenting on rats.D. They know it through their own experience.47. What can protect the brain of a woman according to the passage?A. Estrogen.B. The hormones of pregnancy.C. More exercise.D. Taking care of children.48. “It’s rat data but humans are mammals just like these animals are mammals.” What does the sentence suggest?A. The experiments on the rats have nothing to do with humans.B. The experiments on the rats are very important for animals.C. The experiments on the rats are much the same on humans.D. The experiments on the rats are much the same on other animals.49. Which title is the best for this passage?A. Do You Want to Be Smarter?B. Motherhood Makes Women SmarterC. Mysterious HormonesD. An Important Study BA characteristic of American culture that has become almost a tradition is to respect the self-made man — the man who has risen to the top through his own efforts, usually beginning by working with his hands. While the leader in business or industry or the college professor occupies a higher social position and commands greater respect in the community than the common laborer or even the skilled factory worker, he may take pains to point out that his father started life in America as a farmer or laborer of some sort.This attitude toward manual labor is now still seen in many aspects of American life. One is invited to dinner at a home that is not only comfortably but even luxuriously furnished and in which there is every evidence of the fact that the family has been able to afford foreign travel, expensive hobbies, and college education for the children; yet the hostess probably will cook the dinner herself, will serve it herself and will wash dishes afterward, furthermore the dinner will not consist merely of something quickly and easily assembled from contents of various cans and a cake or a pie bought at the nearby bakery. On the contrary, the hostess usually takes pride in careful preparation of special dishes. A professional man may talk about washing the car, digging in his flowerbeds, painting the house. His wife may even help with these things, just as he often helps her with the dishwashing. The son who is away at college may wait on table and wash dishes for his living, or during the summer he may work with a construction gang ona highway in order to pay for his education.50. From paragraph 1, we can know that in America _________.A. people tend to have a high opinion of the self-made manB. people can always rise to the top through their won effortsC. college professors win great respect from common workersD. people feel painful to mention their fathers as labors.51. According to the passage, the hostess cooks dinner herself mainly because _________.A. servants in American are hard to getB. she takes pride in what she can do herselfC. she can hardly afford servantsD. It is easy to prepare a meal with canned food52. The expression “ wait on table” in the second paragraph means “_________”.A. work in a furniture shopB. keep accounts for a barC. wait to lay the tableD. serve customers in a restaurant53. Which of the following may serve as the best title of the passage?A. A Respectable Self-made FamilyB. American Attitude toward Manual LaborC. Characteristics of American CultureD. The Development of Manual LaborCAmong various programs, TV talk shows have covered every inch of space on daytime television. And anyone who watches them regularly knows that each one is different in style(风格). But no two shows are more opposite in content, while at the same time standing out above the rest, than the Jerry Springer and the Oprah Winfrey shows.Jerry Springer could easily be co nsidered the king of “rubbish talk”. The contents on his show are as surprising as can be. For example, the show takes the ever-common talk show titles of love, sex, cheating, and hate, to a different level. Clearly, the Jerry Springer show is about the da rk side of society, yet people are willing to eat up the troubles of other people’s lives. Like Jerry Springer, Oprah Winfrey takes TV talk show to its top. But Oprah goes in the opposite direction. The show is mainly about the improvement of society and different quality(质量) of life. Contents are from teaching your children lessons, managing your work week, to getting to know your neighbors.Compared to Oprah, the Jerry Springer show looks like poisonous waste being poured into society. Jerry ends every sh ow with a “final word”. He makes a small speech about the entire idea of the show. Hopefully, this is the part where most people will learn something very valuable.Clean as it is, the Oprah show is not for everyone. The show’s main viewers are middleclass Americans. Most of these people have the time, money, and ability to deal with life’s tough problems. Jerry Springer, on the other hand, has more of a connection with the y oung adults of society. These are 18-to-21-year-olds whose main troubles in life include love, relationship, sex, money and drug. They are the ones who see some value and lessons to be learned through the show’s exploitation.54. Compared with other TV talk shows, both the Jerry Springer and the Oprah Winfrey are ____.A. more interestingB. unusually popularC. more detailedD. more formal55. Though the social problems Jerry Springer talks about appear unpleasant, people who watch the shows____.A. remain intere sted in themB. are ready to face up to themC. remain cold to themD. are willing to get away from them56. Which of the following is likely to be a topic of the Oprah Winfrey show?A. A new type of robot.B. Nation hatred.C. Family income planning.D. Street accident.57. We can learn from the passage that the two talk shows_____.A. have become the only ones of its kindB. exploit the weaknesses in human natureC. appear at different times of the dayD. attract different peopleDBelieve it or not, optical illusion(错觉) can cut highway crashes. Japan is a case in point. It has reduced automobile crashes on some roads by nearly 75% using a simple optical illusion. But stripes, called chevrons(人字形), painted on the roads make drivers think that they are driving faster than they really are, and thus drivers slow down.Now the American Automobile Association Foundation(基金会) for Traffic Safety in Washington D.C. is planning to repeat Japan’s success. Starting next year, the foundation will paint chevrons and other patterns of stripes on selected roads around the country to test ho w well the patterns reduce highway crashes.Excessive (too great) speed plays a major role in as much as one fifth of all fatal traffic accidents, according to the foundation. To help reduce those accidents, the foundation will conduct its tests in areas where speed-related hazards (danger) are --the greatest curves, exit slopes, traffic circles, and bridges.Some studies suggest that straight, horizontal bars painted across roads can initially cut the average speed of drivers in half. However, traffic often returns to full speed within months as drivers become used to seeing the painted bars.Chevrons, scient ists say, not only give drivers the impression that they are driving faster than they really are but also make a lane appear to be narrower. The result is a longer lasting reduction in highway speed and the number of traffic accidents.58. The passage mainly discusses ________.A. a new way of highway speed controlB. a new pattern for painting highwaysC. a new way of training driversD. a new type of optical illusion59. On roads painted with chevrons, drivers tend to feel that ________.A. they should avoid speed-related hazardsB. they are driving in the wrong laneC. they should slow down their speedD. they are coming near to the speed limit60. The advantage of chevrons over straight, horizontal bars is that the former ________.A. can keep drivers awakeB. can cut road accidents in halfC. will look more attractiveD. will have a longer effect on drivers61. The American Automobile Association Foundation for Traffic Safety plans to ________.A. try out the Japanese method in certain areasB. change the road signs across the countryC. replace straight, horizontal bars with chevronsD. repeat the Japanese road patternsESilence is unnatural to man. He begins life with a cry and ends it in stillness. In between he does all he can to make a noise in the world, and he fears silence more than anything else. Even his conversation is an attempt to prevent a fearful silence. If he is introduced to another person, and a number of pauses occur in the conversation, he regards himself as a failure, a worthless person, and is full of envy of the emptiest headed chatterbox （喋喋不休的人）。

I was so seriously injured that I was in a coma (昏迷) for over two months at Prince Georges Hospital.I died eight times during my coma and I couldn’t talk or communicate when I woke up. Walking was never going to happen again due to all the extreme injuries. Just like my body，my dreams were shattered (破灭)．But I was not going to let my injuries stop me from living my dream.After 14 operations and 36 blood transfusions，I had to learn how to talk，eat，walk，shower，and live independently again. When I was out of hospital，I still had to go to outpatient therapy (门诊治疗) in Waldorf，Maryland. After spending a few months in a wheelchair，I took baby steps to walk on my own. It was a miracle (奇迹) that I could walk again，but I wanted to prove that I could not only walk，but run. When it came true，I wanted to get back in the pool again. After a few lung tests，I was able to go in the pool a little bit each week. After a few months of swim training，I began my freshman year at St.Mary’s College of Maryland and became a proud member of the swim team.By telling my story，I want to make a positive influence on the world. I am just trying to live each day to the fullest and inspire other people to never give up on their dreams no matter how bad a situation is. I remember when I was still in my hospital bed，I would have my mom and dad push me around in my wheelchair to the other rooms to see the other patients and talk to them and their families. I wanted to let them know that everything was going to be okay. Somehow，things would work out for the best.46.When the car accident happened，the author________.A．was a high school studentB．had finished his high school educationC．was a college studentD．was returning home from a swim competition47．It can be inferred that the author________after he woke up from his coma.A．was out of hospitalB．was in surpriseC．faced physical and mental challengesD．was worried about his lung48．What can we learn from the author’s recovery?A．Attitude is everything.B．Actions speak louder than words.C．Everything happens for a reason.D．A good beginning is half done.49.

The farmer’s eyes opened wide. There was no fence there at all!It was a bridge! And the neighbour, Bob, was coming across, with his hand outstretched(伸出). “Hi, John!
