10、movements,emotions and thoughts.But a brain can mean so much more.A brain can also simply be a smart person.If a person is called brainy,he is smart and intelligent.If a family has many children but one of them is super smart,you could say,“Hes the brains in the family.”And if you are the brains beh
11、ind something,you are responsible for developing or organizing something.For example,Bill Gates is the brains behind Microsoft.Brain trust is a group of experts who give advice.Word experts say the phrase“brain trust”became popular when Franklin D.Roosevelt first ran for president in 1932.Several pr
12、ofessors gave him advice on social and political issues facing the U.S.These professors were called his“brain trust”.These ways we use the word“brain”all make sense.But other ways we use the word are not so easy to understand.For example,to understand the next brain expression,you first need to know
13、 the word“drain”.As a verb,to drain means to remove something by letting it flow away.So a brain drain may sound like a disease where the brain flows out the ears.But,brain drain is when a countrys most educated people leave their countries to live in another.The brains are,sort of,draining out of t
14、he country.However,if people are responsible for a great idea,you could say they brainstormed it.Here,brainstorm is not an act of weather.It is a process of thinking creatively about a complex topic.For example,business leaders may use brainstorming to create new products,and government leaders may
15、brainstorm to solve problems.If people are brainwashed,it does not mean their brains are nice and clean.To brainwash means to make some accept new beliefs by using repeated pressure in a forceful or tricky way.Keep in mind that brainwash is never used in a positive way.21.According to the text,if yo

18、ple move to other countriesBWhen I was seven my father gave me a Timex,my first watch.I loved it,wore it for years,and havent had another one since it stopped ticking a decade ago.Why?Because I dont need one.I have a mobile phone and Im always near someone with an iPod or something like that.All the
19、se devices tell the time which is why,if you look around,youll see lots of empty wrists;sales of watches to young adults have been going down since 2007.But while the wise have realized that they dont need them,others apparently including some distinguished men of our time are spending total fortune
20、s on them.Brands such as Rolex,Patek Philippe and Breitling command shocking prices,up to 250,000 for a piece.This is ridiculous.Expensive cars go faster than cheap cars.Expensive clothes hang better than cheap clothes.But these days all watches tell the time as well as all other watches.Expensive w
21、atches come with extra functions but who needs them?How often do you dive to 300 meters into the sea or need to find your direction in the area around the South Pole?So why pay that much of five years school fees for watches that allow you to do these things?If justice were done,the Swiss watch indu
22、stry should have closed down when the Japanese discovered how to make accurate watches for a five-pound note.Instead,the Swiss reinvented the watch,with the aid of millions of pounds worth of advertising,as a message about the man wearing it.Rolexes are for those who spend their weekends climbing ic
23、y mountains;a Patek Philippe is for one from a rich or noble family;a Breitling suggests you like to pilot planes across the world.Watches are now classified as“investments”.A 1994 Philippe recently sold for nearly 350,000,while 1960s Rolexes have gone from 15,000 to 30,000 plus in a year.But a watc
24、h is not an investment.Its a toy for self-satisfaction,a matter of fashion.Prices may keep going up theyve been rising for 15 years.But when fashion moves on,the owner of the 350,000 beauty will suddenly find his pride and joy is no more a good investment than my childhood Timex.24.The sales of watc
25、hes to young people have fallen because they_.A.have other devices to tell the time B.think watches too expensiveC.prefer to wear an iPod D.have no sense of time25.It seems ridiculous to the writer that_.A.people dive 300 meters into the seaB.expensive clothes sell better than cheap onesC.cheap cars

29、g with all his strength,the fish pulled part way over and then righted himself and swam away.“Fish,”the old man said.“Fish,you are going to have to die anyway.Do you have to kill me too?”That way nothing is accomplished,he thought.His mouth was too dry to speak but he could not reach for the water n
30、ow.I must get him alongside this time,he thought.I am not good for many more turns.Yes,you are,he told himself.Youre good for ever.On the next turn,he nearly had him.But again the fish righted himself and swam slowly away.You are killing me,fish,the old man thought.But you have a right to.Never have
31、 I seen a greater,or more beautiful,or a calmer or more noble thing than you,brother.Come on and kill me.I do not care who kills who.Now you are getting confused in the head,he thought.You must keep your head clear.Keep your head clear and know how to suffer like a man.Or a fish,he thought.“Clear up
32、,head,”he said in a voice he could hardly hear.“Clear up.”Twice more it was the same on the turns.I do not know,the old man thought.He had been on the point of feeling himself go each time.I do not know.But I will try it once more.He tried it once more and he felt himself going when he turned the fi
33、sh.The fish righted himself and swam off again slowly with the great tail heaving in the air.Ill try it again,the old man promised,although his hands were mushy now and he could only see well in flashes.He tried it again and it was the same.So he thought,and he felt himself going before he started;I
34、 will try it once again.The old man dropped the line and put his foot on it and lifted the harpoon(鱼叉)as high as he could and drove it down with all his strength,and more strength he had just summoned(召集),into the fishs side just behind the great chest fin that rose high in the air to the altitude o
35、f the mans chest.He felt the iron go in and he leaned on it and drove it further and then pushed all his weight after it.Then the fish came alive,with his death in him,and rose high out of the water showing all his great length and width and all his power and his beauty.He seemed to hang in the air
36、above the old man in the skiff.Then he fell into the water with a crash that sent spray(喷)over the old man and over all of the skiff.28.Why did the old man keep talking to himself while fighting against the fish?A.To rescue himself from great pressure.B.To remind himself of the hidden danger.C.To pr

40、nkind explore space?Why should money,time and effort be spent exploring and researching something with so few apparent benefits?Why should resources be spent on space rather than on conditions and people on Earth?These are questions that,understandably,are very often asked.Perhaps the best answer li
41、es in our genetic makeup as human beings.What drove our ancestors to move from the trees into the plains,and on into all possible areas and environments?The wider the spread of a species,the better its chance of survival.Perhaps the best reason for exploring space is this genetic tendency to expand
42、wherever possible.Nearly every successful civilization has explored,because by doing so,any dangers in surrounding areas can be identified and prepared for.Without knowledge,we may be completely destroyed by the danger.With knowledge,we can lessen its effects.Exploration also allows minerals and oth
43、er potential resources to be found.Even if we have no immediate need of them,they will perhaps be useful later.Resources may be more than physical possessions.Knowledge or techniques have been acquired through exploration.The techniques may have medical applications which can improve the length or q
44、uality of our lives.We have already benefited from other spin-offs including improvements in earthquake prediction,in satellites for weather forecasting and in communications systems.Even non-stick pans and mirrored sunglasses are by-products(副产品)of technological developments in the space industry!W
45、hile many resources are spent on what seems a small return,the exploration of space allows creative,brave and intelligent members of our species to focus on what may serve to save us.While space may hold many wonders and explanations of how the universe was formed or how it works,it also holds dange
46、rs.The danger exists,but knowledge can help human beings to survive.Without the ability to reach out across space,the chance to save ourselves might not exist.While Earth is the only planet known to support life,surely the adaptive ability of humans would allow us to live on other planets.It is true
47、 that the lifestyle would be different,but human life cultures have adapted in the past and surely could in the future.32.What is the reason for exploring space based on Paragraph 2?A.Humans are nature-born to do so.B.Humans have the tendency to fight.C.Humans may find new sources of food.D.Humans d
