meditation(冥想)and oxygen sport together reduce depression.The Rutgers University study found that this mind and body combination,done twice a week for only two months,reduced the symptoms for a group of students by 40 percent.“We are excited by the findings because we saw such a meaningful improvement in both clinically depressed and non-depressed students,”said lead author Dr.Brandon Alderman.“It is the first time that both of these two behavioral ways have been looked at together for dealing with depression.”Researchers believe the two activities have an interactive effect on combatingdepression.Alderman and Dr.Tracey Shors discovered that a combination of mental and physical training(MAP)enabled students with major depressive disorder not to let problems or negative thoughts defeat them.Rutgers researchers say those who participated in the study began with 30 minutes of focused attention meditation followed by 30 minutes of oxygen sport.They were told that if their thoughts drifted to the past or the future they should refocus on their breathing,enabling those with depression to accept moment-to-moment changes in attention.Shors,who studies the productionof new brain cells in the hippocampuspart of the brain involved in memory and learningsays scientists have shown in animal models that oxygen sport exercise keeps a large number of certain cells alive.The idea for the human intervention(干预)came fromher laboratory studies,she says,with the main goal of helping individuals acquire new skills so that they can learn to recover from stressful life events.By learning to focus their attention and exercise,people who are fighting depression can acquire new learning skills that can help them process information and reduce the overwhelming recollection of memories from the past,Shors says.“We know these treatments can be practiced over a lifetime and that they will be effective in improving mental health.”said Alderman.“The good news is that this intervention can be practiced by anyone at any time and at no cost.”4.What made the research so different?A.Adopting a way of meaningful talk.B.Combining the two behavioral ways to treat depression.C.Treating depression with special medicine.D.Comparing the depressed with the non-depressed.5.The underlined word“combating”in Paragraph 3 can be replaced by _.A.fighting B.identifying C.distinguishing D.examining 6.What did the participants do in the research?A.They did oxygen sport half an hour before thinking.B.They thought quietly and then took exercise.C.They took exercise longer than they thought.D.They took exercise while thinking quietly.7.What is Shors main purpose of her studies?A.To find out certain brain cells of humans.B.To study the production of new brain cells.C.To offer people a new method to treat stress.D.To decide the links between stress and exercise.C Although computer technology is often necessary today,using a pen or pencil activates more areas of your brain than a keyboard does.You can potentially remember more by handwriting,according to a new study.The potential benefits of handwriting for memory have been debated for some time.The new study set out to answer one question:How does handwriting compare to using a keyboard when it comes to remembering new information?In all,24 participants took part.Researchers asked each of them to write with a pen and then each was also asked to type on a keyboard.While performing these tasks,each volunteer wore a cap that held electrodes next to their head.It looked somewhat like a hair net fitted with 256 sensors.Those sensors recorded the participants brainwaves.The electrodes noted which parts of the brain turned on during each task.And they showed that writing turned on memory areas in the brain while typing didnt.Audrey van der Meer,the new studys leader,says this suggests that when we write by hand,we remember better.“This is because writing involves complex movements that activate more areas of the brain.The increased brain activity gives the brain more hooks to hang your memories on,”she explains.Van der Meer also points out that writing by hand is related to visual notetaking.“Rather than typing blindly,the visual notetaker has to think about what is important to write down.Then,key words can be interlinked by boxes,arrows and small drawings,”she adds.This study does not recommend banning digital devices.In fact,its authors point out,computers and other devices with keyboards have become necessary in modern society.Keyboarding can especially benefit those with certain special needs(such as if they have trouble using their hands)and typing beats writing when it comes to speed,they add.8.Why were participants asked to wear caps in the study?A.To record their brainwaves B.To inform them of their tasks C.To allow them to focus on writing D.To protect their heads like hair nets 9.What does Audrey van der Meer try to explain?A.Why handwriting is more complex than typing B.Why the brain works when it comes to learning C.Why handwriting helps remember information D.Why key words are helpful to visual notetaking 10.What is the studys authors view on typing?A.It relieves peoples hands B.It remains vital and helpful C.It is not worth recommending D.It is more challenging than writing 11.Which of the following can be a suitable title for the text?A.How Can You Remember New Information?B.Handwriting Benefits Health in the LongRun C.Should Typing Take the Place of Handwriting?D.Handwriting Is Better for Memory Than Typing D Alex Wong,a junior atMarkKeppelHigh SchoolinAlhambra,California,is working hard on his application to a top college.His resume shows off his nearly straight As in difficult classes,experience at a summer program atStanfordUniversity,Eagle Scout project and time on the soccer team as well as the school choir.But his steady progress stopped unexpectedly this year.Aiming to open access to college-level Advanced Placement(大学预科)courses,his schoolbegan using a computer-based lottery to give out spaces.Alex got shut out of all three of the courses he requested.The new system caused anger among families whose children failed to get into AP courses,which many consider important to develop advanced skills,improve grade-point averages and allow students to earn college credit,saving them and their families tuition dollars.Students and parents wrote to administrators to complain,circulated a petition(请愿)and launched a Facebook group for trading classes.“IM DESPERATE!ILL GIVE YOU FREE FOOD,”one student,Kirk Hum,posted on the 210-member AP Flea Market Facebook group.AP classes have long been held dear by the most talented and ambitious students.But now they are seen as positive for all students who are willing to push themselves and schools are increasingly viewing access to them as a basic educational right.But this change has brought challenges.Miracle Vitangcol,a junior atDowntownMagnetsHigh Schoolwith average grades and test scores,is failing her AP US history class.She said she cant handle the rapid pace and volume of material she needs to remember.But she said she intends to stick it out because the class is teaching her to manage her time,take good notes and work hard.“Im struggling to adjust,”she said.“But I keep telling myself:Its OK.You can do it.Just push yourself.”Some critics worry that the open-access movement is pushing too many unprepared students into AP classes,as shown by higher exam failure rates over the last decade.They also fear that open enrollment(录取)policies are encouraging teachers to weaken courses and give out high grades to students who dont deserve them.“While expanding access is generally a good thing,we need to make sure were not watering down the experience for the high achievers,”said Michael Petrilli,executive vice president of the Thomas B.Fordham Institute,a Washington-based educational policy organization.12.The purpose of the new AP courses system at Alex Wongs school is to _.A.make sure all students get access to the AP courses they desire.B.ensure that students have a fair chance to get access to AP courses.C.improve the academic performance of students in AP courses.D.separate high achievers from average students through the new courses.13.According to the article,the AP Flea Market Facebook group is a place where _.A.students parents send their complaints to school administrators.B.students share tips about saving money for college.C.students offer items to trade for the AP courses they need.D.students can find support and guidance on their AP study.14.Which of the following statements would Michael Petrilli agree with?A.Opening AP courses to all students is a bad idea.B.School administrators should maintain high academic standards for AP courses.C.High schools should stop charging students for taking AP courses.D.Access to AP courses is necessary for students applying for top American colleges.15.The author used Miracle Vitangcols example to show that _.A.students need to remember too much in their AP courses.B.AP courses pose a big challenge to unprepared students.C.the secret to success in AP courses is to keep pushing yourself.D.average students dont deserve their places in AP courses.第二节（共 5 小题；每小题 2 分，满分 10 分）阅读下面短文，从短文后的选项中选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项 Are you somebody who cant wake up in the morning?Do you need two cups of coffee before you can start a new day?Do you feel awful when you first wake up?Scientists say its all because of our genes(基因)._16_Researchers from the University of Surrey interviewed 500 people.They asked them questions about their lifestyle,such as what time of day they preferred to do exercise and how difficult they found it to wake up in the morning._17_ They discovered that we all have a“clock”gene,also called a PER3 gene._18_People who have the long gene are usually people who are very good in the morning,but get tired early at night.People who have the short gene are usually people who are more active at night but have problems waking up early in the morning._19_Scientists say that,if possible,we should try to change our working hours to fit our“body clock”.If you are a“morning person”then you could start work early and finish early.But if you are bad in the morning,then it might be better to start work in the afternoon and work until late at night._20_ A.How did they find this out?B.As soon as you wake up,wash your face and step outside.C.How does it help us to know we have the long or short gene?D.This gene can be long or short.E.It is common for people to feel sleepy in the morning.F.Scientists then compared their answers to the peoples DNA.G.So maybe,instead of nine to five we should work from seven to three or twelve to eight.第二部分 语言运用（共两节，满分 45 分）第一节（共 20 小题；每小题 1.5 分，满分 30 分）阅读下面短文，从每题所给的 A、B、C、D 四个选项中选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项 One dark
