But this definition (定义) of accents is limiting and could give rise to prejudice. Funnily enough, in terms of the language study, every person speaks with an accent. It is the regular differences in how we produce sounds that define our accents. Even if you don’t hear it yourself, you speak with some sort of accent. In this sense, it’s pointless to point out that someone “has an accent”. We all do!Every person speaks a dialect (方言), too. In the field of language study, a dialect is a changed form of a language that is featured by its variations (变化) of structure, phrases and words. For instance, “You got eat or not?” (meaning “Have you eaten?”) is an acceptable and understood question in Singapore Oral English. The fact that this expression would cause a standard American English speaker to take pause doesn’t mean that Singapore Oral English is “wrong” or “ungrammatical”. The sentence is well-formed and clearly communicative, according to native Singapore English speakers’ solid system of grammar. Why should it be wrong just because it’s different?We need to move beyond a narrow idea of accents and dialects — for the benefit ofeveryone.Language differences like these provide insights into people’s cultural experiences and backgrounds. In a global age, the way one speaks is a distinct part of one’s identity (身份). Most people would be happy to talk about the cultures behind their speech. We’d learn more about the world we live in and make friends along the way.4．What does the author think of his/ her friends’ response in paragraph 1?A．It reflects their self confidence.B．It reflects their language levels.C．It misses the point of communication.D．It misses the real meaning of accents.5．Why does the author use the example of Singapore Oral English?A．To support the use of dialects.B．To show the importance of dialects.C．To correct a grammatical mistake.D．To highlight a traditional method.6．What does the author recommend us to do in the last paragraph?A．Learn to speak with your local dialect.B．Look for an official definition of accents.C．Appreciate the value of accents and dialects.D．Separate our local languages from others’.7．What can be a suitable title for this passage?A．Everyone Has an AccentB．Accents Improve Our IdentitiesC．Dialects Lead to MisunderstandingD．Standard English Is at RiskWhen people ask me how I started writing, I find myself describing an urgent need that I felt to work with language. Having said that, I did not know for a long time what I was looking for. It was not until I followed this feeling to its source that I discovered I had a passion for writing. With some encouragement from my colleagues, I had one of my poems published. This bit ofsuccess, however, was the point where my problem began.Back in 1978, I had to travel between three different campuses in the morning, teaching freshman composition. Afternoons I spent taking my daughter to her ballet and horse-riding lessons. I composed my lectures on the way, and that was all the thinking time I had. When I returned home, there was not enough of me left for writing after a full working day.As a way out, I decided to get up two hours before my usual time. My alarm was set for 5:00 a.m. The first day I shut it off because I had placed it within arm’s reach. The second day I set two clocks, one on my night table, and one out in the hallway. I had to jump out of bed and run to silence it before my family was awoken. This was when my morning writing began.Since that first morning in 1978, I have been following the habit to this day, not making or accepting many excuses for not writing. I wrote my poems in this manner for nearly ten years before my first book was published. When I decided to write a novel, I divided my two hours: the first for poetry, the second for fiction. Well or badly, I wrote at least two pages a day. This is how my novel, The Line of the Sun. was finished. If I had waited to have the time, I would still be waiting to write my novel.What I got out of getting up in the dark to work is the feeling that I am in control. For many people, the initial sense of urgency to create easily dies away because it requires making the tough decision: taking the time to create, stealing it from yourself if ifs the only way.8．What motivated the author to start her writing career?A．Her strong wish to share.B．Her keen interest in writing.C．Her urgent need to make a living.D．Her passionate desire for fame.9．What problem did the author face when she decided to begin her writing?A．She was too exhausted to write after a busy day.B．She had trouble in deciding on her writing style.C．She had to take time to discipline her daughter.D．She was unsure about her writing skills.10．Why did the author place an alarm clock in the hallway?A．In case the clock in her room broke down.B．In case she failed to hear the ringing.C．To force herself out of bed.D．To wake up her family.11．What can we learn from the author’s success in her writing career?A．It is never too late to change your job.B．Imaginative ideas die away if not taken in time.C．A tight schedule is no excuse for lack of action.D．Daily life provides ideas forcreative writing.When was the last time you showed off your being sensitive (敏感的)? Most likely, the answer is never. There are plenty of traits (特征) we take pride in but being “sensitive” is usually seen as a weakness. It’s used to mean you’re fragile (脆弱的), thin-skinned or just overreacting, but it’s wrongheaded. Sensitivity is largely genetic, and not something you can turn off. It is a trait linked to giftedness and something we ought to accept.As a personality trait, being sensitive means you take in more information from your environment, and you do more with it. Sensitive people are better at a brain level to process information more deeply than others do. The most well-known and celebrated sensitive gift is creativity. Sensitive people have this capacity for innovation (创新) because they tend to be deep thinkers who spend more time and energy turning problems over in their heads - and end up seeing more possibilities and solutions. Many -perhaps most -artists, musicians, actors and even scientists are themselves sensitive people, including Charles Darwin -the model of a sensitive person.Sensitive people do pay a price for these gifts, however, by becoming overstimulated (过度刺激的). Overstimulation is what happens when there is simply too much information for the brain to keep going deep. It happens in situations that are too loud, too chaotic, or too emotionally tense. This is the only time when sensitive people really might seem less “tough” than others, but sensitive people can learn to largely prevent it. For example, a little bit of quiet alone time goes a very long way.If any of this sounds like you, you might be more sensitive than you realize. If so, you have probably felt the pressure to hide it. But that’s a trap. You cannot make yourself less sensitive than you are and trying to do so only cuts you off from your gifts. Instead, the single most important step you can take for yourself is what society has told you not to do your whole life: Stop hiding from your sensitivity. Embrace it, and show it to the world.12．What is the general attitude of people toward “being sensitive”?A．Positive.B．Negative.C．Critical.D．Indifferent. 13．What does the second paragraph describe about sensitive people?A．Strengths.B．Characters.C．Disadvantages.D．Innovation. 14．What will be the best advice to sensitive people if they become overstimulated?A．To play sports with friends.B．To talk to a friend about troubles.C．To rest in a peaceful place alone.D．To play computer games at home.15．What is the effect of hiding from your sensitivity?A．Being less talented.B．Feeling comfortable.C．Getting more sensitive.D．Becoming confident.Pursue Y our Dreams Today, Not TomorrowHave you caught yourself daydreaming about your dreams? We often postpone our dreams, trapped in a cycle of delay. But why wait? You don’t have to take a huge, life-changing step. 16 You can take minute steps toward a brighter future. And start right now.17 If you never try, you’re going to be weighed down by your regrets. You’re always going to wonder how your life would’ve turned out if you actually took a chance on yourself. Don’t let your future self be disappointed by your present self.It doesn’t matter how old you are or how many people have warned you that you’re never going to succeed. Even the most successful people have had their hesitations about whether they had what it took to make it in their field. 18 Embrace a mindset of determination, knowing that success is within your reach.At the end of the day, you need to carve out a path for yourself that will lead to the most satisfaction. Don’t allow your fear to get the best of you, or you’re never going to forgive yourself.19 It’s what you would encourage your friends to do, so why aren’t you giving yourself that same push.Sometimes, following your dreams means spending a lot of your time each day. It mayrequire making slight changes to your schedule, but you don’t have to sacrifice(牺牲)everything to follow your hearts. 20 If things go well, you can gradually make further shifts.Pursue your dreams now, even though that means you might need to break out of your comfort zone, and even though it means entering the unknown.A．Ask yourself what would be worse.B．Starting small is completely acceptable.C．Only you can help yourself go after your dreams.D．New opportunities might contribute to personal growth.E．Try to strike a balance between your present life and your dreams.F．You need to move forward confidently and explore yourself fully and deeply.G．Hard as it is, it’s extremely important to wave off the doubts in the back of your mind.二、完形填空I grew up in a small town near the South Dakota border.

八下英语部编版第一单元重点单词Unit 1 Key Vocabulary WordsIn the eighth grade English textbook of the Chinese national curriculum, there are several key vocabulary words introduced in Unit 1. These words are essential for students to understand and use in order to communicate effectively in English. Let's explore these words in detail.1. Communication - Communication refers to the exchange of information or ideas between individuals or groups. It involves speaking, listening, reading, and writing. Effective communication is crucial for success in both personal and professional life.2. Interaction - Interaction refers to the process of communicating or working together with others. It involves exchanging thoughts, ideas, and opinions through verbal and non-verbal communication. Interaction plays a vital role in building strong relationships and understanding different perspectives.3. Understanding - Understanding is the ability to comprehend or grasp the meaning of something. It involves interpreting information or ideas and making sense of them. Understanding can be achieved through active listening, asking questions, and seeking clarification.4. Gesture - A gesture is a movement or action of the body, especially of the hands or head, that is used to express an idea or feeling. Gestures often accompany speech and can help convey meaning or emphasis. Different cultures may have different meanings associated with gestures.5. Sign - A sign is a visual representation that conveys a specific meaning. Signs can be words, symbols, or images. Signs are commonly used in public places to provide information, give directions, or warn about potential dangers.6. Context - Context refers to the circumstances or surroundings in which something exists or occurs. It includes the cultural, social, historical, and environmental factors that influence meaning. Understanding the context is important for interpreting and understanding messages accurately.7. Non-verbal - Non-verbal communication refers to the exchange of information without the use of spoken or written words. It includes facial expressions,body language, gestures, and eye contact. Non-verbal communication can often convey emotions and attitudes more effectively than verbal communication.8. Pronunciation - Pronunciation is the way in which a word or language is spoken. It involves the correct articulation of sounds, stress patterns, and intonation. Good pronunciation is important for effective communication and avoiding misunderstandings.9. Syllable - A syllable is a unit of pronunciation that contains one vowel sound. Words can be divided into syllables to help with pronunciation and spelling. Understanding syllables is helpful in improving fluency and rhythm in speaking.10. Fluency - Fluency refers to the ability to speak or write smoothly, accurately, and easily. It involves using appropriate vocabulary, grammar, and pronunciation without hesitation or pauses. Fluency is an important aspect of communication as it allows for natural and confident expression.11. Response - A response is a reaction or answer to a question, request, or stimulus. It involves providing feedback, expressing thoughts or feelings, or taking action. Effective communication often requires active listening and thoughtful responses.12. Intercultural - Intercultural refers to the interaction between different cultures or ethnic groups. It involves understanding, appreciating, and respecting cultural differences. Intercultural communication skills are valuable in today's globalized world.13. Interpreter - An interpreter is a person who translates spoken or signed language from one language to another. Interpreters are essential in facilitating communication between individuals who do not share a common language, especially in legal, medical, or diplomatic settings.14. Accent - An accent is a particular way of pronouncing words that istypical of a particular region or country. Accents can vary greatly, and they often contribute to the diversity of languages. While accents can sometimes affect intelligibility, they are a natural part of language variation.15. Dialect - A dialect is a regional or social variety of a language that has specific vocabulary, grammar, and pronunciation patterns. Dialects can reflect cultural identity and are often used by communities to express their uniqueness. Understanding dialects is important for language learners to communicate effectively in diverse settings.16.

Idioms are often culturally specific and can be challenging for language learners to understand. Knowing common idioms in a language can greatly improve communication skills.17. Slang - Slang is informal language that is used by particular groups of people, often associated with youth culture. Slang words and phrases can change quickly and vary by region or social group. While slang can be colorful and expressive, it may not be appropriate in formal communication.18. Colloquialism - A colloquialism is a word or phrase that is used in everyday, casual language. Colloquialisms are more informal than standard language and can include slang, idioms, and dialectal expressions. Understanding colloquialisms helps language learners to speak more naturally and conversationally.19. Jargon - Jargon refers to specialized or technical language used by people in a particular profession or field. It can include specific terms, acronyms, and abbreviations that may not be understood by those outside the field. Using jargon appropriately can enhance communication within a professional community.20.

Paraphrasing is a useful skill in communication as it demonstrates understanding and can help avoid plagiarism in writing.22.

Summarizing is an important skill for effective communication, as it allowsfor the conveyance of complex information in a clear and concise manner.23. Feedback - Feedback is information about how well something has been done, which is given to someone to help them improve. In communication, feedback can be both positive and constructive, and it plays a crucial role in personal and professional development.24. Active listening - Active listening is a communication technique that involves fully concentrating on and understanding what is being said, rather than just passively hearing the message. Active listening requires paying attention, asking questions, and providing feedback to ensure clear and effective communication.25. Barriers - Barriers refer to anything that hinders or obstructs communication, such as language differences, noise, cultural misunderstandings,or personal biases. Identifying and overcoming communication barriers is essential for successful interaction and understanding.。

山东省济南第一中学2024-2025学年高一上学期期中考试英语试题

山东省济南第一中学2024-2025学年高一上学期期中考试英语试题一、阅读理解Brighton is one of the most untraditional cities in the UK. Here are four of the best things to do in Brighton.Go to one of the city's old-styled bars (酒吧)Whatever you’re in Brighton for, checking out the old-styled bars is a must-do while you’re there. The place to start is the Twisted Lemon's cocktail hour. Though the bar itself is small, the menu is not, with pages and pages of award-winning cocktails. It is a great place for conversation over some drinks.Find a bargain in the North LaineThe best of the North Laine is Snoopers Paradise. It is a flea (跳蚤) market with over90 unique sellers, selling everything from shoes to beautiful Tiffany lamps. It's almost impossible to walk out without buying something or without having spent an hour in there.Explore KemptownIf you're looking to experience the “bohemian” style Brighton is famous for, Kemptown is the place. Kemptown Bookshop is a great place to find any new book you need in a quiet, friendly shop. At night the area is livelier though, with a lot of famous bars. You can head to the Hobgoblin for a lively feeling.Visit the Sea LanesThe Sea Lanes are a newly rebuilt area, with a six-lane (泳道) swimming pool by the sea. The idea of the pool is to allow people to swim at all times of the year, as, sometimes, weather conditions can mean the sea is too unsafe to swim in. After you finish, there is a bar you can relax in.1．What is special about Twisted Lemon?A．It offers good cocktails.B．It has a small menu.C．It has won awards.D．It holds talk shows.2．Where can a visitor buy a second-hand book?A．Twisted Lemon.B．Snoopers Paradise.C．Kemptown Bookshop.D．Sea Lanes.3．What do Kemptown and the Sea Lanes have in common?A．They are crowded and noisy.B．They are designed for kids.C．They have places for drinking.D．They provide a year-round pool.The student arrived early, sat front and center, and stood out in my classroom in more ways than one. I’d say that he was about 40 years older than his classmates in my undergraduate communications class. He hungrily jumped into class discussions, with his humor and wisdom of experience. And he was always respectful of the other students’ perspectives, as if each of them were a teacher. Jerry Valencia walked in with a smile—and he left with one too.“These students gave me the confidence that I didn’t need to feel bad about my age,” Valencia says.One day I spotted Valencia on campus. He said he would have to stop taking classes that semester and reapply for next year. By then, he hoped to have earned enough money and have his student-loan papers in order. He asked seriously whether he could still sit in on my communications class.Sure, I said. But he wouldn’t get any credit.No problem, he said.Soon there he was again, back at his old desk, jumping into our discussions on how to find and tell stories in Los Angeles—a 63-year-old man with as much energy and curiosity as any of the youngsters in class.A lot of Valencia’s classmates apparently knew he couldn’t afford that semester’s tuition but was still doing the homework. “Here he is, willingly taking a class for the delight of it and benefit of learning,”says Jessica Espinosa, a 25-year-old junior. Afterward, I overheard Valencia wanted to stay in school until he earned a master’s degree, but it had taken him 12 years to finish community college, so he had a long way to go.There is something splendidly unreasonable about V alencia’s determination to get a four-year degree and then a master’s. At his current pace, he’ll be 90 when he finally hangs all that paper on the wall. But that doesn’t seem especially relevant. He’s found all the youthful energyand academic opportunity stimulating (振奋人心的). Valencia’s grade in my class this semester will not show up on his transcripts (成绩单). But I’m giving him an A—and in the most important ways, it counts.4．What made Valencia different from his classmates?A．He was respectful to the teacher.B．He activated the class atmosphere.C．He was anxious to learn despite his age.D．He often put forward different opinions.5．According to the author, why did Valencia continue to attend classes?A．He treasured the chance of learning.B．He wished to show his determination.C．He needed the credits to further his study.D．He desired to have an A on his transcripts.6．Which of the following best describes Valencia?A．Powerful and independent.B．Energetic and generous.C．Positive and determined.D．Considerate and knowledgeable.7．What can we learn from the passage?A．No pains, no gains.B．It is never too old to learn.C．Strike the iron while it is hot.D．Where there is life, there is hope.In the rushing modern society, it can be all too easy to skip(不吃) a meal or two.You might even do it on purpose. A new study suggests going without one of the standard three meals a day might have a serious downside.24,000 people participated (参加) in the study. Around 30 percent of the participants often had fewer than three meals a day. According to the data (数据), those who were younger, male, with less of an education and a lower family income, were more likely to skip meals. Meal-skipping was also more common among those who smoked more, drank more, ate less healthy food, had more snacks, and took in less energy overall.Compared with participants eating three meals per day, the risk for participants eating one meal per day was 30% higher for all-cause death, and 83% higher for cardiovascular(心血管的)disease(CVD) death. Those who ate two meals a day had a 7% increased risk of all-cause death and a 10% increased risk of cardiovascular death.The CVD death rate of the participants who skipped breakfast was40% higher compared with those who did not. The all-cause death risk was 12% higher for skipping lunch and 16% higher for skipping dinner compared with those who did not. Skipping breakfast was connected with a greater risk of dying from CVD, while skipping lunch or dinner was connected with a greater risk of all-cause death, including a rise in CVD risk.There was even a problem for those who ate all three meals but had them too close together. Eating two neighbouring meals within 4.5 hours of each other was also shown to be connected with increased all-cause death risk. While the study seems to make messages difficult that suggest intermittent fasting (间歇性禁食) could be good for you, the data stresses the importance of regular refueling stops for the body.8．What is paragraph 2 mainly about?A．Who would skip meals.B．How the research is done.C．Why people skip meals.D．What the course of the study is.9．How is meal-skipping connected with diseases?A．Meal-skipping can reduce the risk of diseases.B．Meal-skipping makes no difference to diseases.C．The chances of diseases rise with more meal-skippings.D．It's hard to tell the influence of meal-skipping on diseases.10．What do the underlined words “regular refueling stops” in the last paragraph mean?A．Skipping meals sometimes.B．Skipping a fixed meal.C．Having meals at your will.D．Having meals at the right time. 11．Which statement will the author probably agree with?A．Fasting is a good way for health.B．Good eating habits can treat CVD．C．Eating meals on time is healthier.D．Meals should be taken close enough.When I mentioned to some friends that we all have accents, most of them proudly replied, “Well, I speak perfect English/Chinese.” But this kind of reply misses the point.More often than not, what we mean when we say someone “has an accent” is that theiraccent is different from the local one, or that their pronunciations are different from our own. But this understanding of accents is limiting and could give rise to prejudice (偏见). Funnily enough, in the language study, every person speaks with an accent. It is the regular differences in how we produce sounds that decide our accents. Even if you don’t hear it yourself, you speak with some sort of accent. In this sense, it’s pointless to point out that someone “has an accent”. We all do!Every person speaks a dialect (方言), too. In the field of language study, a dialect is a version of a language that is characterized by its variations of structure, phrases and words. For instance, “You got eat or not?” (meaning “Have you eaten?”) is an acceptable and understood question in Singapore Oral English. The fact that this expression would cause a standard American English speaker to stop for a while doesn’t mean that Singapore Oral English is “wrong” or “ungrammatical”. The sentence is well-formed and clearly communicative, according to native Singapore English speakers’ solid system of grammar. Why should it be wrong just because it’s different?We need to move beyond a narrow understanding of accents and dialects – for the good of everyone. Language differences like these provide insights (深刻见解) into people’s cultural experiences and backgrounds. In a global age, the way one speaks is a distinct part of who they are. Most people would be happy to talk about the cultures behind their speech. We’d learn more about the world we live in and make friends along the way.12．What does the author think of some friends’ reply in paragraph 1?A．It’s impolite and wrong.B．It shows their language levels.C．It reflects their self-confidence.D．It misses the real meaning of accents. 13．Why does the author use the example of Singapore Oral English?A．To prove dialects are acceptable.B．To show various types of English.C．To correct a grammatical mistake.D．To encourage more changes to languages. 14．What does the author mostly want us to do in the last paragraph?A．To learn to speak with our local dialects.B．To treasure the value of accents and dialects.C．To have friends with different accents and dialects.D．To have a better understanding of people’s experiences.15．What can be a suitable title for this passage?A．Everyone Has an Accent B．Standard English Is at RiskC．Dialects Lead to Misunderstanding D．Accents Tell Everything about YouA healthy person is a wealthy person. Wealth is here valued in terms of the person's physical well-being so that he or she is able to go about and carry out day-to-day tasks easily. 16 To achieve this, physical exercise is a must.17 Modern-day diseases like heart problems, diabetes (糖尿病),and certain cancers are all caused by the shortage of exercise. Oppositely, anyone having these diseases will get well if they include exercise as part of their daily life.Doctors think not enough exercise leads to many people having one form or another of sleeplessness. Moreover, when we sleep better, we can protect ourselves from diseases. 18 During tasks, their bodies physically become worse. Their bones, internal parts, and cardiovascular system are all badly influenced. However, it has been found that exercise reduces changes noticeably.Another example of how exercise helps us to feel better is that it makes us lose weight. It burns off the energy. In our push-button lifestyle, we have become quite sedentary (久坐不动).“Why walk, when we can take the car” seems to be the way of life for all of us. 19 Moreover, we seem to be only exercising our fingers as we play computer games, surf the Net, and press the keys to choose our favorite television program.Lastly, students should exercise at least three times a week for at least twenty minutes each time, as exercise is a good stress killer. 20 One of them can make a person become less stressed and more cheerful. Students preparing for their examinations are therefore able to concentrate better. As a result, they will do better in their examinations.In a word, regular exercise is a useful way by which we can not only feel younger, but look younger.A．Exercise ensures good health.B．This has been made clear by spacemen.C．He or she will look good and feel good.D．Students are busy with heavy homework.E．Nowadays, even shopping is done online.F．It is no wonder that our young are gaining weight.G．Exercise causes the brain to produce different chemicals.二、完形填空Mr. Brown had to go to his camp in the midst of the mountains in California. His men were 21 the big trees, and putting them together in 22 for the floods of the river, when the snows melted (融化). Then they would slide them down the mountain sides to the little villages.There was a great deal of snow on the mountains, and Mr. Brown knew it would be 23 work climbing to the camp, but Lady Gray was 24 .

The oldguard is suffering: this week's $67 billion merger(合并) between Dell and EMC, makers of computers and storage devices respectively(分别), was a marriage forced by the rise of the cloud.仔细审题、认真作答．试题习题、尽在百度Disruptive(捣乱的) newcomers are blooming: if Amazon's cloud－computing unit were a stand－alone public company, it would probably be worth almost as much as Dell and EMC combined.The gains for customers have been equally dramatic. Compared with older IT systems, cloud computing is often much cheaper. It adds tremendous flexibility: firms that need more computing capacity no longer have to spend weeks adding new servers and installing software. In the cloudthey can get hold of it in minutes. Their applications can be updated continually, rather than justevery few months. Individual users can reach their e－mails, files and photos from any device.And cloud services also tend to be more secure, since providers know better than their customershow to protect their computing systems against hackers.But cloud computing makes one problem worse. In the old IT world, once a firm or aconsumer had decided on an operating system or database, it was difficult and costly to switch to another. In the cloud this “lock－in”is even worse. Cloud providers go to great lengths to makeit easy to upload data. They accumulate huge amounts of complex information, which cannoteasily be moved to an alternative provider.Cloud firms also create a world of interconnected services, software and devices, which is convenient but only for as long as you don't venture(冒险) outside their universe. Being lockedin to a provider is risky. Firms can start to tighten the screws by increasing prices. If a cloudprovider goes bust(崩溃), its customers may have trouble getting back their data.These risks have already caused a debate about whether the cloud needs stricter regulation. Some European politicians want to force cloud providers to ensure that data can be moved between them. That is too heavy－handed, because strict rules will inhibit(阻碍) innovation in what is still a young industry. The history of computing suggests that common standards may well appear naturally in response to customers' demands—just as in personal computers, where it is now much easier to use the same files on different systems.In the meantime, a few commonsense measures can reduce the risk of lock－in. Firms thatuse more than one cloud provider to host their data are less affected. So are those that keep their most important information in their own data centres. Consumers can take precautions, too. Some services are better than others at enabling users to move data between providers (Google does well on this score). Cloud computing promises its users many benefits, but don't mistake it for some sort of digital heaven.仔细审题、认真作答．试题习题、尽在百度()58.

By changing the activity of thecells they were able to change the behaviour of risk－taking rats to avoid risk, hinting theapproach could in future be used to treat people with impulse(冲动) control problems.Risk－taking is a key part of survival, knowing when to take a chance could pay off—such仔细审题、认真作答．试题习题、尽在百度as moving to a new area to look for food when pickings are slim.While all animals need an element of risk, the preference towards it varies betweenindividuals. Researchers found this variation, which determines how risk－averse an individual is,is regulated by brain cells in a region of the brain called the nucleus accumbens. This cluster of neurons releases the neurotransmitter dopamine, which regulates the brain's reward and pleasure centres.Previous studies have shown that in patients with Parkinson's disease, taking medicationwhich blocks specific dopamine receptors (DR2)(受体) leads to increased gambling(赌博) behaviour and risk－taking behaviour. In studies with rats, researchers were able to use atechnique called optogenetics(光遗传学)—which uses light sensitive proteins to change theactivity of cells—to modify cells with DR2 in the nucleus accumbens.Rats were trained to choose one of two levers, offering them a choice between a “safe”or “risky”choice. The safe option resulted in a small, but consistent amount of a sugar water treat. But the risky choice consistently delivered smaller amounts of sugar water, with the－occasional large pay off—essentially encouraging the animals to gamble for a bigger prize. Around two－thirds of the animals weren't keen on risk, opting for the safe option, but the remaining third wererisk－seekers. Brain scans of the animals showed that those with low levels of DR2 consistentlywent for the gamble.But using pulses of light to stimulate(刺激) the DR2 cells and improve their activity couldcause the risk－takers to play it safe and opt for the guaranteed but less rewarding option. Oncethe light－pulses stopped, the risk－takers returned to their gambling strategy.In the risk－averse_animals,_stimulating the same cells had little to no effect.Professor Karl Deisseroth, of Stanford University in California, said: “Humans and rats have similar brain structures involved.”And we found a drug known to increase risk preference in people had the same effect on the rats. So every indication is that these findings are relevant to humans. “Risky behavior has its moments where it's valuable. As a species, we wouldn't have come as far as we have without it.”()63.

The underlined words in Paragraph 7 most likely mean the animals that are________．A. willing to take big risksB. reluctant to take risksC. fond of gambling strategyD. afraid of receiving stimulation()66. What can be inferred from what Professor Karl Deisseroth said?A. Humans and rats differ in their preference for risk－taking.B. Too much risk－taking can do more harm than good.C.

From discovering how Vitamin D can best be absorbed, to unlocking the potential of stem cells, Wisconsin has pioneered remarkable breakthroughs in science that have improved health, saved lives and created jobs. These scientific breakthroughs have not only led to life－saving medical technologies but also have fostered(培育) a strong power in Wisconsin economy.Across America, groundbreaking research supported by the National Institutes of Health (NIH) alone adds millions of dollars to our economy every year. In fact, NIH funding generated an estimated $58 billion in economic output nationwide in 2014. NIH funding spurs economic growth by supporting jobs in research and by generating biomedical innovations that are turned into new products. NIH－supported innovations also influence improvements in health that can bolster the economy, improve productivity, and reduce illness and disability at home and across the globe. But, budget cuts and inadequate funding for NIH in the past decade have put both medical innovation and our next generation of researchers at risk.仔细审题、认真作答．试题习题、尽在百度Today, too many of our talented young scientists are deciding to do something else, or are leaving the country to pursue their research. Simply put, scientific and medical innovation depends on our ability to foster, support and invest in these new researchers.That is why I have worked across party lines with Senator Susan Collins of Maine and introduced the Next Generation (NextGen) Researchers Act. Our act builds opportunities for new researchers, helps address the debt burden that young scientists face today, and invests in the future of research, science, and innovation. This commonsense proposal would create the “Next Generation Researchers Initiative”within the NIH Office of the Director to coordinate(协调) all current and new NIH policies. The legislation(立法) also directs the NIH to consider recommendations from a National Academy of Sciences (NAS) comprehensive study and report on fostering the next generation of researchers.Finally, we must demonstrate a commitment to our future scientists who, like so many oftheir peers pursuing other fields, are struggling with crushing student loan debt. Our plan wouldalso increase the amount of loans that can be forgiven through the NIH's loan repayment programsto better account for the current debt load of new scientists. Higher education should be a path to prosperity, not suffocating debt, and this provision not only helps make higher education more affordable, but can help give new researchers a fair shot at pursuing their dreams.The NextGen Researchers Act will help to empower our next generation of researchers fromMaine to Wisconsin, and across our country, with the resources they need to continue to lead the world in groundbreaking biomedical research and development. I'm proud to have earned the support of the University of Wisconsin－Madison, the Medical College of Wisconsin, and many others, for my bipartisan work supporting Wisconsin's leadership in science, research and innovation.At a time when America's young researchers are facing the worst funding in decades, our bestand brightest minds deserve to know that our country stands with them and is committed tobuilding a stronger future.()67.

This is the first in a series of posts that explore and understand how each of the above forms of intelligence is affected by technology－mediated education.Verbal－linguistic Intelligence involves sensitivity to spoken and written language, theability to learn languages, and the capacity to use language to accomplish goals. Such intelligenceis developed by three specific activities: reading, writing and interpersonal communication—both仔细审题、认真作答．试题习题、尽在百度written and oral. The traditional tools that have been used to efficiently develop verbal/linguistic intelligence—textbook, pencil, and paper—are giving way to technology in many schools. E－books, Internet lesson plans, online assignments and word processing software, or a subset of theabove, are now common in schools. Technology allows addition of multisensory(多种感觉的) elements that provide meaningful contexts to help comprehension, thus expanding the learning ground of language and linguistics.Research into the effect of technology on the development of the language and literacy skillsvis－à－vis reading activities of children has offered evidence for favorable effects of digital－form books. A study shows that digital reading materials have become common in developingcountries in early childhood classrooms to support engagement in storybooks while enhancing(加强) the emergent literacy(早期读写能力) among children. E－books are also being increasinglyused to teach reading among beginners and children with reading difficulties.Technology can be used to improve reading ability in many ways. It can enhance and sustainthe interest levels for children by allowing immediate feedback on performance and providing added practice when necessary. Recent research shows that students are able to improve their sight word vocabulary, fluency, and comprehension through computer－based reading.Technology can also help in improvement of writing skills. Word processing softwarepromotes not only composition but also editing and revising in ways that streamline the task of writing. Desktop publishing and web－based publishing allow the work to be taken beyond the classroom into a virtual world that allows more constructive interactions.Technology enhanced oral communication is indeed useful in that it allows students fromremote locations, or from all over the world to communicate orally through video and audio conferencing tools. For example, students of languages in Australian universities overcome the problem of insufficient contact with native language speakers by using online audio and videotools that allow the development of aural, vocal and visual－cognition skills that are important in verbal and linguistic education. Oral group discussions in the form of video conferencing can help non－native speakers of a language with natural language negotiation and cultural intonations in ways that have not been possible due to geographic isolation.Computer definitely aided language learning and computer mediated communication enhance teaching and learning experiences in the areas of linguistics and language intelligence.

Are Dialects Just Acceptable In Public Places
As for language, the most fundamental tool of communication,
every country, in this world, has their official one. Moreover, for
China, this tool is mandarin. Nevertheless, for the phenomenon of
recent days, using dialects in subways of some metropolis aims at
rendering better service is total inconsistent with the years’ initiative
of popularizing Putonghua in the whole country. From my point of
view, using dialects in public places is disadvantageous either from
the respect of the mass’ convenience or for the country’s harmony
and unity.
Firstly, it is an elementary knowledge to everyone that our country
is consisted of fifty-six nations. The truth is that every nation has
their each dialect. Moreover, take the ethnic minorities for exception,
only Han nationality itself, the most extensively distributed nation in
China, people from different places has different dialects. Just take a
second thought of that if we all use our dialects in public places for
conversation, how could it be guaranteed that we could be
understood by each other properly for some patois or accent might
exactly become the obstacles of exchange. In another world, now that
we even do not have a clue for what people are saying, how could our
information be conveyed and how could a comfortable service be
offered then. Obviously, the consequence is quite the contrary. As we,
all know that in a metropolitan that teemed with people from all
directions of this country, of them maybe, doctors, businessmen, civil
servants or teachers. Just imagine a doctor’s inquiring of the
patient’s symptoms without being comprehended, a teacher’s class
failure because of using their absurd dialects. Apparently, the
inconvenience evoked by this is definitely inevitable.
Secondly, some dialects may seem a little vulgar and obscure.
When two people of two different places or nations are brought
together, out of respect and a better comprehension of each other, we
are not supposed to talk with our dialect respectively. It really makes
people feel ill at ease when it comes to the situation that one is talking
in dialect while the other one in mandarin. Furthermore, the
implication of some Chinese characters is extraordinarily abundant.
It is quite common that a positive world in one place, however, is
considered a negative one in another. Sometimes, unexpectedly, this
kind of misunderstanding and distortion may just become the
causation of some unnecessary conflicts, which will certainly turn
into the obstructive element in the process of the establishment of a
harmonious society.
From all above, a conclusion is reached that the language, which
extremely need to be promoted in public places, is a joined, civilized
one, one could be understood easily and properly by the people of its
entire country. Evidently, this magnificent role cannot be taken by
dialects; it is always the mission of mandarin.
