Jessica Cox, born in 1983, in Arizona, is the worlds first licensed armless pilot. The girl from Tucson, Arizona got the Sport Pilot certificate lately and became the first pilot licensed to fly using only her feet.Jessica Cox was born without arms, but that has only stopped her from doing one thing: using the word "cant."Cox graduated from the University of Arizona in 2005 with a bachelors degree in psychology and a minor in communications. Cox has not used prosthetic arms since she turned 14. Using her feet as most people use their hands, she is able, among other things, to drive an unmodified car with an unrestricted license, to type on a keyboard at 25 words per minute, and to put in and remove her contact lenses.Jessica Cox flew in a single engine airplane for the first time via Wright Flight in 2005. Cox earned her pilots certificate on October 10, 2008 after three years of training and is qualified to fly a light-sport aircraft to altitude of 10,000 feet.“Shes a good pilot. Shes rock solid,” said Parrish Traweek, 42, the flying instructor at San Manuels Ray Blair Airport.Parrish Traweek runs PC Aircraft Maintenance and Flight Services and has trained many pilots, some of whom didnt come close to Coxs abilities.Doctors never learned why she was born without arms, but she figured out early that she didnt want to use prosthetic devices.So, the next time you are ready to tell yourself, "I cant possibly." remember this amazing young woman and change your vocabulary.24.

Recent studies have found, among other things, that the smell of foods like pizza can cause uncontrollable anger in drivers on roads.The review explains that smell is unique in its effects on the brain. According to Conrad King, the researcher who carried out the review, “more than any other senses, the sense of smell goes through the logical part of the brain and acts on the systems concerned with feelings. This is why the smell of baking bread can destroy the best intentions of a dieter.”Smell, which dictates(决定) the unbelievable complexity of food tastes, has always been the least understood of our senses. Our noses are able to detect up to 10,000 distinct smells. Our ability to smell and taste this extremely large range of smells is controlled by something like 1,000 genes (基因), which make up an amazing 3% of the human genome. Researchers Richard Axel and Linda Buck were together awarded a Nobel Prize in 2004 for their ground-breaking research on the nature of this extraordinary sense. These two scientists were the first to describe the family of 1,000 olfactory (嗅觉) genes and to explain how our olfactory system works.According to one study in the research review, smelling fresh pizza or even the packaging of fast foods can be enough to make drivers feel impatient with other road users. They are then more likely to speed and experience uncontrollable anger on roads. The most reasonable explanation is that these can all make drivers feel hungry, and therefore desperate to satisfy their appetites.In contrast, the smells of peppermint and cinnamon were shown to improve concentration levels as well as reduce drivers impatience. Similarly, the smells of lemon and coffee appeared to promote clear thinking and mental focus.However, the way genes regulate smell differs from person to person. A study by researchers in Israel has identified at least 50 olfactory genes which are switched on in some people and not in others. They believe this may explain why some of us love some smells and tastes while others hate them. The Israel researchers say their study shows that nearly every human being shows a different pattern of active and inactive smell-detecting receptors.28. What did Richard Axel and Linda Buck find out?A. The type of food smells.B.The logical part of human brain.C.The nature of human olfactory system.D.The relationship between food and feelings.29. Which of the following can help people concentrate?A. Bread.B. Pizza.C. Coffee.D. Fast food.30. What do we know from the last paragraph?A. Some people can recognize up to 50 smells.B. Every person has a different pattern of genes.C. Different people are sensitive to different smells.D. There are still some olfactory genes to be found out.31. What is the passage mainly about?A. Logic and behavior. B. Smell and its influence.C. Sense ability and food tastes.D. Olfactory genes and its system.DHow many times do you check your Facebook page in a day to see whether your latest post has got another “like” or “thumbs up”?Although you might be embarrassed to admit how many times you do this, dont worrypsychological findings have shown its completely normal. In fact, the pleasure we derive from receiving a “like” is equal to that of eating chocolate or winning money, and we cant help wanting more. According to the findings, which observed 32 teens aged between 13 and 18, the feedback circuit (反馈回路) in the teens brains is particularly sensitive, and the “social” and “visual” parts of their brains were active when they received “likes” on the social network. The research also showed that though the thumbs up might come from complete strangers, the good they derive from them worked all the same.So, does it mean we should try our best to win as many thumbs up as possible? Not necessarily so if we know the reasons behind our desire for attention. In “why do people long for attention” by M. Farouk Radwan, he explained several cases in which people naturally longed for attention. Radwan said people who were an only child, who were used to being the center of attention in their house, may try to copy these conditions. Feeling “overlooked and unappreciated” might also lead you to long for attention. Other times, the state of being jealous, or wanting to cover your mistakes may also contribute to such longings.In fact, too much desire for attention can create anxiety, and in turn ruin your happiness even when you get it. So what can we do about it? The answer is quite simple. “If people could adopt goals not focused on their own self-esteem（自尊）but on something larger than their self, such as what they can create or contribute to others, they would be less sensitive to some of the negative effects of pursuing self-esteem,” wrote psychology professor Jennifer Crocker.So perhaps the answer to our addiction to “likes” is simply to focus on something larger than ourselvesa hard, but a worthy one. 32. Which of the following can replace the underlined word “derive” in Paragraph 2?A. deliver B. give C. prevent D. get33. Whats the reaction of receiving “likes” on the social network to the brain? A. The brain becomes more nervous. B. Some parts of the brain are active.C. The brain becomes less sensitive. D. The brain becomes cleverer.34. Who wants to get more attention according to the passage?A. the only child. B. The old who lives happily with children.C. The young who feels anxious. D. Teens who want to discover their mistakes.35. Whats Crockers suggestion about the negative effects of getting self-esteem?A. Doing an interesting matter. B. Working harder than ever before.C. Having a bigger goal than their self. D. Not checking your Facebook page in a day. 第二节（共5小题；每小题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。The worst time to look for a job is when you must have a new one immediately. 36 If you are not in need of an immediate career change，here are ways you can improve your long-term career prospects (前景) today： 37 You do not have to be qualified for these positions today, nor do they have to exist in your company.
