But it was quite by accident that I discovered the dee
17、p meaning of his words.For years we made the long drive from our home in Seattle to my parents home in Boise in nine hours. We traveled the way most people do: the fastest, shortest, easiest road, especially when I was alone with four noisy, restless kids who hate confinement. Road trips felt risky,
18、 so I would drive fast, stopping only when I had to. We would stick to the freeways and arrive tired.But then Banner, our lamb, was born. He was rejected by his mama days before our planned trip to Boise. That is how I found myself on the road with four kids, a baby lamb and nothing but my everlasti
19、ng optimism to see me through. We took the country roads out of necessity and had to stop every hour to feed Banner. The kids chased one another and got back in the car breathless and energized, smelling fresh from the cold air.We explored side roads. Even if we simply looked out of the car windows
20、at baby pigs following their mother, or fish leaping out of the water, it was better than the best ride down the freeway. Here was life. And new horizons.We eventually arrived at my parents doorstep astonishingly fresh and full of stories.I grew brave with the trip back home and creative with my dis
21、ciplining technique. On an empty section of road, everyone started quarreling. I stopped the car, ordered all kids out and told them to meet me up ahead. I parked my car half a mile away and read my book in sweet silence.Some road trips are by necessity fast and straight. But that trip with Banner o
22、pened our eyes to a world available to anyone adventurous enough to wander around and made me realize that a detour may uncover the best part of journey and the best part of yourself.24 Why did the author used to take freeways to her parents home?A. It was less tiring. B. It would be faster and safe
23、r.C. Her kids would feel less confined. D. She felt better with other drivers nearby.25 What does the author discover from the trip according to Paragraph 4?A. Freeways are where beauty hides.B. Enjoying the beauty of nature benefits ones health.C. Getting close to nature adds to the joy of life.D.

25、 Road Trip and Country Life B. Creativity out of NecessityC. The Road to BraveryD. Charm of the Detour CThe next time a giant Big Mac or Coke flashes into your mind when youre walking home from the pub, you may not simply have the snacks. A British hi-tech company has created a new advertising syste
26、m that uses lasers (激光) to project images up to 200 metres tall from the sides of tall buildings, enabling advertisers to reach people from virtual billboards in the sky. Passers-by will see each image for only between one tenth and quarter of a second, as their eyes catch the light from certain ang
27、les.Advertising agencies and big businesses have already signalled their interest, but Skyline campaigners have branded the technology “greedy” and said that it could fill our skies with showy and tasteless brands.The Echo system uses a high laser projector to bounce light off a narrow reflective st
28、rip fixed to the side of a building, visible up to 1km away. This creates large-scale images that are captured briefly in the viewers eye as a result of the “persistence of vision” effect: the same effect that leaves an imprint (印记) of a light source on your vision after youve turned away.Daniel Sid
29、en, the technologys inventor, explained: People often think this could be subversive, but its actually less invasive and more fun than traditional advertising. Mr.Siden said that the system was safe because of the distance between the projector and passers-by. And images would be above the line of s
30、ight of drivers and cyclists and below the field of vision of airline pilot. The images have been tested and shown not to cause epileptic seizures (癫痫发作).Because it uses only one strip of reflected light, the system needs a small amount of the power, about one-twentieth of a standard 96-sheet digita
31、l outdoor display for an image of the same height.Still, some Skyline campaigners dislike the technology and believe it delivers subliminal advertising (隐形广告). Barbara Weiss of the Skyline Campaign, said: “Its actually offensive. Londons latest tall buildings are not particularly well-built or well
32、designed, but unfortunately people are forced to look at them. Adding stupid advertising thats invasive in its nature will only make it worse.”28 Why does the writer use the example of Big Mac, Coke in paragraph 1?A. Because he attempts to promote these products to potential consumers.B. Because he
33、wants to introduce a new advertising technology to readers.C. Because he studies the association between products and images in advertising.D. Because he tries to illustrate the effectiveness of flashing images of advertised goods.29 Which of the following statements about the Echo system is true ac
34、cording to the passage?A. Pedestrians can see the flashing images from specific angles.B. Its a new system developed by an advertising agency.C. The image will no longer exist in vision after youve turned away.D. The system consists of a laser projector, a reflective strip and a physical billboard.3

Environmentalists worried about energy consumption.B. Drivers, cyclists and pilots whose sight migh
36、t be affected.C. The Skyline Campaign regarding the technology as flashy.D. The patients who suffer from epileptic seizures.DThe brain has a powerful ability to remember and connect events separated in time. And now, in that new study in mice published in Neuron, scientists have cast light on how th
37、e brain can form lasting links.The hippocampus (海马体)a small, seahorse-shaped region buried deep in the brainis an important headquarters for learning and memory. “The traditional view has been that cells in the hippocampus keep up a level of continuous activity to associate two events separated by t
38、ens of seconds.” said Dr. Ahmed, co-first author of the study. “Turning these cells off would thus disrupt learning.”To test this view, the researchers imaged parts of the hippocampus of mice as the animals were exposed to two different stimuli(刺激物): a sound followed by a small but unpleasant puff o
39、f air. A fifteen-second delay separated the two events. The scientists repeated this experiment across several trials. Over time, the mice learned to associate the sound with the soon-to-follow puff of air. Using advanced microscopy, they recorded the activity of thousands of neurons (神经元), a type o
40、f brain cell, in the animals hippocampus in each trial for many days.“We expected to see continuous neural activity that lasted during the fifteen-second gap, an indication of the hippocampus at work linking the sound and the air puff,” said Stefano Fusi, PhD. “But when we began to analyze the data,
41、 we saw no such activity.” Instead, the neural activity was sparse. Only a small number of neurons worked, and they did so seemingly at random (随意的).For further understanding, they had to shift the way they analyzed data and use tools designed to make sense of random processes. Finally, the research
42、ers discovered a complex pattern: a style of mental computing that seems to be a remarkably efficient way that neurons store information.“We were happy to see that the brain doesnt maintain ongoing activity over all these seconds because thats not the most efficient way to store information,” said D
43、r. Ahmed. “The brain seems to have a more efficient way to build this bridge.”In addition to helping to map the circuitry (神经回路) involved in associative learning, these findings also provide a starting point to more deeply explore disorders, such as panic and post-traumatic stress disorder.32 What c
44、an we learn about the hippocampus?A. It helps connect events separated in places.B. It is involved in the visual area of the brain.C. It is a kind of cell buried deep in the brain.D. It is a brain region crucial for memory.33 According to the passage, the traditional view is that _.A. animals have t

46、 neurons stay active at intervals of 15 secondsC. a complex pattern helps the brain learn associationsD. neuronal information is stored in well-designed tools35 From the last two paragraphs, we can infer that the findings _.A. inspire deeper explorations of disordersB. build a bridge between differe

Then, let it melt in yo
48、ur mind, not in your mouth. According to the recent research, imagining eating a specific food reduces your interest in that food, so you eat less of it.This reaction to repeated exposure to foodbeing less interested in something because youve experienced it too muchis called habituation. 36 The res
49、earch is the first to show that habituation can occur through the power of the mind. “If you just think about the food itselfhow it tastes and smellsthat will increase your appetite,” said Carey Morewedge, a well-known psychologist. “It might be better to force yourself to repeatedly think about che
50、wing and swallowing the food in order to reduce your longing. 37 Visualizing yourself eating chocolate wouldnt prevent you from eating lots of cheese,” he added.Morewedge conducted an interesting experiment. 51 subjects were divided into three groups. One group was asked to imagine putting 30 coins
51、into a laundry machine and then eating three chocolates. 38 Another group was asked to imagine putting three coins into a laundry machine and then eating 30 chocolates. Lastly, a control group imagined just putting 33 coins into the machinewith no chocolates. 39 When they said they had finished, the
52、se were taken away and weighed. The results showed the group that had imagined eating 30 chocolates each ate fewer of the chocolates than the other groups. 40 Physical signalsthat full stomach feelingare only part of what tells us weve finished a meal. The research suggests that psychological effect
53、s, such as habituation, also influence how much a person eats. It may lead to new behavioral techniques for people looking to eat more healthily, or have control over other habits.A. Whats more, this only works with the specific food youve imagined.B. People were advised to try different methods to
54、perform the experiment.C. For example, a tenth bite is desired less than the first bite, according to the study.D. All of them then ate freely from bowls containing the same amount of chocolate each.E. It meant those who repeatedly imagined eating would concern about some specific food.F. This requi
