27、 without ever having a teacher. At the age of 5, he even could play the songs completely after hearing them one time.Dalia Sakas, the director of New Yorks Filomen M. D Agostino Greenberg Music School, recalls the moment she decided to take Matthew on as a student when he was five years old, making
28、him the youngest person to ever attend the school. Now only 18 years old, Whitaker has since toured the world,headlined famous sites from Carnegie Hall to Kennedy Center, and won a number of music awards.Such is the height of Whitaker s talent that he caught the attention of Dr. Charles Limb, a neur
29、ologist who also happens to be a fellow musician. Dr.Limb was attracted by what might have been going on inside Whitaker s brain, so with the permission of the musician and his family, Whitaker took two MRI exams - first while being exposed to different stimuli, including music,and then while he pla
30、yed on a keyboard.What Dr.Limb was surprised to find was that Whitaker s brain seemed to have repurposed its own disused visual cortex(视觉皮质）in order to build other neurological(神经系统的）pathways. Even when Whitaker was simply listening to one of his favorite music, his entire visual cortex lit up.When

It seems English may have been unfair
36、 in association birds brains with stupidity.In an attempt to find out how different creatures see the world，psychologists at Brown University in the USA have been comparing the behaviour of birds and humans. One experiment has involved teaching pigeons to recognize letters of the English alphabet. T
37、he birds study in “classrooms”，which are boxes equipped with a computer. After about four days of studying a particular letter, the pigeon has to pick out that letter from several displayed on the computer screen. Three male pigeons have learned to distinguish all twenty-six letters of the alphabet
38、in this way.A computer record of the birds7 four-month study period has shown surprising similarities between the pigeons and human performance. Pigeons and people find the same letters easy, or hard，to tell apart. For example, 92 percent of the time the pigeons could tell the letter D from the lett
39、er Z. But when faced with U and V ( often confused by English children)，the pigeons were right only 34 percent of the time.The results of the experiments so far have led psychologists (心理学家）to conclude that pigeons and humans observe things in similar ways. This suggests that there is something basi
40、c about the recognition process. If scientists could only discover just what this recognition process is, it could be very useful for computer designers. The disadvantage of a present computer is that it can only do what a human being has programmed it to do and the programmer must give the computer
41、 precise，logical instructions. Maybe in the future，though，computers will be able to think like human beings.32Why does the writer suggest the expression “bird-brained” might be out of use?AIt is silly.BIt is impolite.CIt is unnecessary.DIt is inappropriate.33According to the experiment, who could be
42、 confused by U and V?A92 percent of pigeons.BMany English children.CMost people learning English.D34 percent of English children.34Which can best explain the similarities in observing things by pigeons and humans?APigeons and humans find letters equally fast.BPig eons have brains more developed than
43、 other birds.CTheir basic ways to know the world are the same.DPigeons and humans have similar brains.35Who can benefit from the research?AComputer designers.BComputer salesmen.CPsychologists.DTeachers.第二节（共5小题；每小题2. 5分，满分12. 5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。 How to be energetic all the

69、段中“When you have obtained at least 40 credits，you may rent a locker and pay 400 SEK for a years rental period”当你至少获得40个学分时，你可以租一个储物柜，并每年支付400瑞士克朗。可知，如果获得要求的学分，学生可以租一个储物小柜。故选D。23.细节理解题。根据最后一段中“Please note that food and fruit are forbidden in the library”请注意图书馆不允许带食物和水果。可知，三文治是不被允许带进图书馆的，故选B。24A 25D 2
70、6B 27C【分析】这是一篇说明文。文章认为阅读书籍对我们的身心是有益的。因此作者鼓励读者多读书。24主旨大意题。根据文章第一段“For many of us, theres nothing better than burying our head in a good book. Whether its a gripping crime story or a biography of someones amazing life, its good to read a book to switch off from the distractions of everyday life and he
71、lp us relax. Maybe thats why some of them are actually being prescribed as a remedy（治疗）to sickness.”（对我们很多人来说，没有什么比埋头读一本好书更好的了。无论是扣人心弦的犯罪故事还是某人精彩生活的传记，读一本书都能让我们远离日常生活的干扰，帮助我们放松。也许这就是为什么他们中的一些实际上是作为治疗疾病的药方。）可知，此处告诉读者，读书的优点包括了远离日常生活的干扰帮助我们放松。同时再根据文章倒数第二段“Of course, its easy in our smartphone generatio
72、n to ditch a good book and fiddle with our phones instead. But opening up a paperback could be a simple way to help boost or maintain our mental health. Its thoughttheycan help you set targets and find focus. And they may allow you to see that awkward situation youve been anxious about for weeks fro
73、m someone elses perspective.”（当然，在智能手机时代，我们很容易丢掉一本好书，而去摆弄我们的手机。但是打开一本平装书可能是帮助促进或保持我们心理健康的一个简单方法。人们认为它们可以帮助你设定目标，找到焦点。他们可能会让你从别人的角度去看待你已经焦虑了几个星期的尴尬处境。）可知，此处告知读者阅读书籍可以帮助促进或保持我们心理健康，同时能帮助我们设定目标化解尴尬。综合上所述，本文主要在讲书籍可以改善我们的心理健康。因此A项“书籍如何改善我们的心理健康”符合题意。故选A项。25细节理解题。根据文章第二段“It called this bibliotherapy（阅读疗法）
74、and its become so successful that its about to be extended to children as well.”（它称之为阅读疗法，它非常成功，即将推广到儿童身上。）可知，所谓的“阅读疗法”很快就会推广到儿童身上。故选D项。26细节理解题。根据文章第三段“He studies people in reading groups and found that its reading literaturewritten work thought to have artistic merit, that has the best effect.”（他研究
75、了阅读小组中的人，发现阅读那些被认为具有艺术价值的文学作品，效果最好。）可知，Philip Davis教授认为阅读那些具有艺术价值的文学作品，效果最好。故选B项。27词义猜测题。根据文章第四段“Its thoughttheycan help you set targets and find focus. And they may allow you to see that awkward situation youve been anxious about for weeks from someone elses perspective.”（人们认为它们可以帮助你设定目标，找到焦点。他们可能会
76、让你从别人的角度去看待你已经焦虑了几个星期的尴尬处境。）可知，此处在强调“他们”的优点。而根据本段前文提到“Of course, its easy in our smartphone generation to ditch a good book and fiddle with our phones instead. But opening up a paperback could be a simple way to help boost or maintain our mental health.”（当然，在智能手机时代，我们很容易丢掉一本好书，而去摆弄我们的手机。但是打开一本平装书可能是
77、帮助促进或保持我们心理健康的一个简单方法。）可知，此处在强调“一本好书”的有点。此处前后相互照应说明。故可推断本段中的they指代前文提及的“一本好书”。故选C项。28D 29A 30B 31C【分析】这是一篇记叙文，讲述了一位科学家研究一位18岁的盲人钢琴天才的大脑的故事。【详解】28.细节理解题。根据第三段最后一句话“”Now only 18 years old,Whitaker has since toured the world,headlined famous sites from Carnegie Hall to Kennedy Center,and won a number of
78、 music awards.现在只有18岁的惠特克已经环游世界，在从卡内基音乐厅到肯尼迪中心的音乐表演上领衔，并赢得了许多音乐奖项。”可知，马修在他18岁的时候已经完成了全球演出，赢得了许多奖项，所以在他18岁的时候在音乐上已经获得成功。故选D。29.细节理解题。根据第四段最后一句“Such is the height of Whitaker s talent that he caught the attention of Dr. Charles Limb, a neurologist who also happens to be a fellow musician.Dr.Limb was a
79、ttracted by what might have been going on inside Whitaker s brain, so with the permission of the musician and his family, Whitaker took two MRI exams - first while being exposed to different stimuli,including music,and then while he played on a keyboard.”（惠特克的才华如此之高，引起了神经学家查尔斯林姆博士的注意，他恰好也是一位音乐家。利普博士
80、被惠特克的大脑内部可能发生的事情所吸引，所以在惠特克和他家人的允许下，他带惠特克r做了两次核磁共振检查第一次是在不同的刺激下，包括音乐，然后是在键盘上弹奏。）可知，Dr. Limb对惠特克感兴趣的是惠特克的大脑对音乐的反应。故选A。30.细节理解题。根据倒第二段第一句“What Dr.Limb was surprised to find was that Whitaker s brain seemed to have repurposed its own disused visual cortex(视觉皮质）in order to build other neurological(神经系统的）
81、pathways.”（令利普博士惊讶的是，他发现惠特克的大脑似乎重新利用了自己被废弃的视觉皮层，以建立其他的神经通路。）和最后一段第一句“When Dr.Limb presented Whitaker with his brain scans showing how his brain lit up when he listened to music, the musician was amazed.”（当利普博士向惠特克展示他的大脑扫描图时，扫描图显示当他听音乐时，他的大脑是如何活跃起来的，这让这位音乐家很惊讶。）可知，利普博士和惠特克对这个检查结果是震惊的，没有预料到的，故选B。31.主旨
82、大意题。文章第一、二、三段讲述了惠特克从小眼盲，但是是一个天才少年，在十八岁时就在音乐上取得了巨大成功，后三段讲述了利普博士因为好奇而对他的大脑进行了扫描检测，发现了令人惊讶的结果。所以标题应为“一位科学家研究一位18岁的盲人钢琴演奏者的大脑”，故选C。32D 33B 34C 35A【分析】本文是一篇说明文。文章主要说明了鸟类并非人类所认为的那么愚蠢。事实上，研究人员发现，鸟类的行为与人类的行为有着惊人的相似，并且认识世界的基本方法是一样的。这些研究对计算机设计师非常有用。32推理判断题。根据文章第二段“It seems English may have been unfair in asso
83、ciation birds brains with stupidity.(英语把鸟的大脑和愚蠢联系在一起似乎有些不公平。)”以及下文对鸽子的研究可知，鸽子的行为与人类的行为有着惊人的相似。所以作者认为“bird-brained”这种表述不恰当，所以建议不再使用。故选D。33细节理解题。根据文章第四段“For example, 92 percent of the time the pigeons could tell the letter D from the letter Z. But when faced with U and V ( often confused by English ch
84、ildren)，the pigeons were right only 34 percent of the time. (例如，92%的鸽子能分辨出字母D和字母Z。但面对U和V(英国孩子经常搞混)时，鸽子的正确率只有34%。)”可知，英国许多孩子搞混字母U和V。故选B。34细节理解题。根据文章最后一段“The results of the experiments so far have led psychologists (心理学家）to conclude that pigeons and humans observe things in similar ways. This suggests
85、 that there is something basic about the recognition process. (迄今为止的实验结果使心理学家得出结论，鸽子和人类观察事物的方式相似。这表明认知过程中有一些基本的东西。)”可知，鸽子和人类认识世界的基本方法是一样的，鸽子和人类观察事物具有相似性。故选C。35细节理解题。根据文章最后一段“If scientists could only discover just what this recognition process is, it could be very useful for computer designers. (如果科学
