They experimented with sea snails because they have impressive memory habits and large neurons（神经元）which make them easier to work with Dr David Glanzman， who led the experiment， believes that RNA located in our brain cells is responsible for longterm memory This went against the wellestablished belief that long term memory was stored in the brains neuron synapses（突触） For the experiment， scientists trained certain snails to develop a defensive reaction by contracting（ 收缩）whenever they were pushed Originally， the action would last for a few seconds， but by consistently shocking the snails， their contracting period grew to last a lot longer， up to 50 seconds Then， they took RNA from brain cells of the trained snails and put them in untrained cells When these new cells were put back into the untrained snails， these sea snails started exhibiting immediate behaviors that were as if they had been trained to develop long defensive reactions ! This was shocking as these memories were extremely specific This showed that RNA transfer might influence our memory by finishing a memory transfer David Glanzman believes once we get a deeper insight on how memory functions， it can help us better understand illnesses that are deeply affected by our memories and how we react to past experiences However， Glanzmans experiment is still highly controversial as many believe that the human brain is much more complex than those of the snails and that we may not find similar associations such as memory transfer There is still much to discover about how our brains function and Glanzmans experiment just proves the mystic and interesting possibilities of the brain（1）Why did the researchers choose sea snails to experiment with？ A Their memories are stored in neuron synapsesB Their RNA is responsible for longterm memoryC Their memory is stronger than that of other animalsD Their characteristics are suitable for the experiment（2）Which shows the correct order of the experiment stages？ Put RNA into untrained brain cellsUntrained snails seem to have been trainedTrained snails show longer defensive periodTake RNA from the brain cells of trained snailsCertain snails are consistently pushedPut cells with trained RNA into untrained snailsABCD（3）In what field does David Glanzman think his experiment might be useful？ A Understanding past experienceB Strengthening childrens memoryC Learning about memoryrelated diseasesD Improving other animals memory habits（4）Many people disapprove of the conclusion of the experiment because A the human brain is much more complexB some memories can never be transferredC human memory has much more informationD the human brain shouldnt be used in such experiments第二节（毎小题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，并在答题卡上将该项涂黑选项中有两项为多余选项15（10分）More than the challenge of fitting into a new culture， there are many benefits that a student can get with an exchange program These benefits include I Diverse academic opportunities， Its not actually the travel that students would love to studyabroad（1） Instead it will e an offering of divers opportunities or the student For example， the student will be able to experience the differences of teaching methods， educational formats and academic program offerings 2 （2） Studying in another country opens the student to different surroundings， which makes the student know about the countrys customs， people and regions， Knowing other culture also teaches the student how to be openminded 3 Personality development（3） Thus， the student needs to make decisions on his or her own and suffer the consequences or enjoy the fruits of that decision With this， the student is taught how real life is， what it means to be responsible， and how being resourceful can help in his or her survival Its no wonder that most students who returned after the exchange program were seen with significant improvement on their personal development， （4） So， why not let your child have the benefits of a student exchange program？ Exchange programs or studyabroad programs are a great investment for the student （5） Just imagine， by transforming students in a foreign country the society is starting to build a new blood of more mature people who might just be able to create a better tomorrow for the generations to comeA Improved protection of social rightsB Better awareness of cultural differencesC More importantly， it is helpful for the improvement of the societyD Most
