4、e need adolescents and young adults like you to help doctors and nurses provide the best care they can.Doctors and nurses use what they learn from research studies to take care of patients,but most of this research has been done with adults.Your bodies are different from older adults and your health

5、 needs are different too!We need you to help us learn about the best treatments for teens and young adults and you can make a difference.For Health Care Providers Considering the state of children treatment,child health research is the best way to advance medical care for children.We need children o

9、hill on the route.”He replied,“You mean fortunately.”He explained that I should be glad of the extra exercise that the hill provided.My attitude to the hill has now changed.I used to complain as I approached it but now I tell myself the following.This hill will exercise my heart and lungs.It will he

10、lp me to lose weight and get fit.It will mean that I live longer.This hill is my friend.Finally I comfort myself with the thought of all those silly people who pay money to go to a gym and sit on stationary exercise bicycles when I can get the same value for free.I have a smile of satisfaction as I

11、reach the top of the hill.Problems are there to be faced and overcome.We cannot achieve anything with an easy life.Helen Keller was the first deaf and blind person to gain a university degree.Her activism and writing proved inspirational.She wrote,“The character cannot be developed with ease.Only th

12、rough experiences of suffering can the soul be strengthened,vision cleared,ambition inspired and success achieved.”8/8 One of the main determinants of success in life is our attitude towards adversity.From time to time we all face hardships，problems，accidents and difficulties.Some are of our making

13、but many are no fault of our own.While we cannot choose adversity,we can choose our attitude towards it.Douglas Bader was 21 when in 1931 he had both legs cut off following a flying accident.He was determined to fly again and went on to become one of the leading flying aviators in the Battle of Brit

14、ain with 22 aerial victories over the Germans.He was an inspiration to others during the war.He said,“Dont listen to anyone who tells you that you cant do this or that.Thats nonsense.Make up your mind,and youll never use crutches or a stick,and then have a go at everything.Go to school,and join in a

15、ll the games you can.Go anywhere you want to.But never,never let them persuade you that things are too difficult or impossible.”The biographies of great people are full of examples of how they took steps to overcome the difficulties they faced.The common thread is that they did not become depressed.

20、ties with a smile C.Nothing is impossible D.Life is full of adversity C As Internet users become more dependent on the Internet to store information,are people remember less?If you know your computer will save information,why store it in your own personal memory,your brain?Experts are wondering if t

21、he Internet is changing what we remember and how.In a recent study,Professor Betsy Sparrow conducted some experiments.She and her research team wanted to know the Internet is changing memory.In the first experiment,they gave people 40 unimportant facts to type into a computer.The first group of peop

22、le understood that the computer would save the information.The second group understood that the computer would not save it.Later,the second group remembered the information better.People in the first group knew they could find the information again,so they did not try to remember it.In another exper

23、iment,the researchers gave people facts to remember,and told them where to find the information on the Internet.The information was in a specific computer folder(文件夹).Surprisingly,people later remember the folder location(位置)better than the facts.When people use the Internet,they do not remember the

24、 information.Rather,they remember how to find it.This is called“transactive memory(交互记忆)”.8/8 According to Sparrow,we are not becoming people with poor memories as a result of the Internet.Instead,computer users are developing stronger transactive memories;that is,people are learning how to organize

25、 huge quantities of information so that they are able to access it at a later date.This doesnt mean we are becoming either more or less intelligent,but there is no doubt that the way we use memory is changing.28.The passage begins with two questions to _.A.introduce the main topic B.show the authors

26、 altitude C.describe how to use the Interne D.explain how to store information 29.What can we learn about the first experiment?A.Sparrows team typed the information into a computer.B.The two groups remembered the information equally well.C.The first group did not try to remember the formation.D.The

27、second group did not understand the information.30.In transactive memory,people _.A.keep the information in mind B.change the quantity of information C.organize information like a computer D.remember how to find the information 31.What is the effect of the Internet according to Sparrows research?A.W

28、e are using memory differently.B.We are becoming more intelligent.C.We have poorer memories than before.D.We need a better way to access information.D No one is sure how the ancient Egyptians built the pyramids near Cairo.But a new study suggests they used a little rock n roll.Long-ago builders coul

29、d have attached wooden poles to the stones and rolled them across the sand,the scientists say.“Technically,I think what theyre proposing is possible,”physicist Daniel Bonn said.People have long puzzled over how the Egyptians moved such huge rocks.And theres no obvious answer.On average,each of the t

30、wo million big stones weighed about as much as a large pickup truck.The Egyptians somehow moved the stone blocks to the pyramid site from about one kilometer away.The most popular view is that Egyptian workers slid the blocks along smooth paths.Many scientists suspect workers first would have put th

31、e blocks on sleds(滑板).Then they would have dragged them along paths.To make the work easier,workers may have lubricated the paths either with wet clay or with the fat from cattle.Bonn has now tested this idea by building small sleds and dragging heavy objects over sand.Evidence from the sand support

32、s this idea.Researchers found small amounts of fat,as well as a large amount of stone and the remains of paths.However,physicist Joseph West thinks there might have been a simpler way,who led the new study.West said,“I was inspired while watching a television program showing how sleds might have hel

33、ped with pyramid construction.I thought,Why dont they just try rolling the things?”A square could be turned into a rough sort of wheel by attaching wooden poles to its sides,he realized.That,he notes,should make a block of stone“a lot easier to roll than a square”.So he tried it.He and his students

34、tied some poles to each of four sides of a 30-kilogram stone block.That action turned the block into somewhat a wheel.Then they placed the block on the ground.They wrapped one end of a rope around the block and pulled.The researchers found they could easily roll the block along different kinds of pa

35、ths.They calculated that rolling the block required about as much force as moving 8/8 it along a slippery(滑的)path.West hasnt tested his idea on larger blocks,but he thinks rolling has clear advantages over sliding.At least,workers wouldnt have needed to carry cattle fat or water to smooth the paths.

36、32.Its widely believed that the stone blocks were moved to the pyramid site by _.A.rolling them on roads B.pushing them over the sand C.dragging them on some poles D.sliding them on smooth paths 33.What does the underlined word“it”in Paragraph 7 refer to?A.Rolling the blocks with poles attached.B.Ro

37、lling the blocks on wooden wheels.C.Rolling poles to move the blocks.D.Rolling the blocks with fat.34.Why is rolling better than sliding according to West?A.Because more force is needed for sliding.B.Because rolling work can be done by fewer cattle.C.Because sliding on smooth roads is more dangerous

38、.D.Because less preparation on paths is needed for rolling.35.What is the text mainly about?A.An application of the method of moving blocks to the pyramid site.B.An experiment on ways of moving blocks to the pyramid site.C.An argument about different methods of moving blocks to the pyramid site.D.An

39、 introduction to a possible new way of moving blocks to the pyramid site.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，选项中有两项为多余选项。Live Every Day Like Its A Holiday We feel great on holiday because we let go of everyday stresses and strains._36_ So whether or not youre going away this summ
