23、ank in the following passage there are four words or phrases marked A, B, C and D. Fill in each blank with the word or phrase that best fits the context.Artists have long claims alcohol and other drugs as inspiration for their creativity . But is there really a _51_ between intoxication and inspirat
24、ion ? A recent study published in Consciousness and Cognition explored the effects of moderate drunkenness on peoples creativity . The authors suggest that alcohols well-known effect in _52_ executive function may be helpful for these types of creative problems :” Sometimes a reduced ability to _53_
25、ones attention can have implications for select cognitive tasks ,” they write.The finding raise the question of whether drugs that _54_attention and focus , in particular , stimulants （兴奋剂） , would have the opposite effect on creative thinking . _55_ very little research has been done on the issue ,
26、 and what results exist so far have been mixed . The outcomes may well vary according to individual _56_to the drugs. _57_, some research has found that while stimulants can _58_test performance for those who are less intelligent , for the smartest folks , the drugs can have the opposite effect.If l
27、ess executive function is linked to more creativity , this may also help explain why artists , writers and musicians appear to be more _59_ to have an addiction . Perhaps creative people are more likely than others to be _60_to drugs in the first place , as a possible source of inspiration . And the
28、n ,if reduced executive function is _61_ in part for their initial talent , this , too , could make them more easily influenced by _62_once they start using . Having less executive control before you even take drugs means you ll have less ability to stop once you start.Whatever the real relationship
29、 between drunkenness , addiction and art , the authors _63_that their study findings dont give people _64_ to get drunk to “inspire the muse.” Co-author Jennifer Wiley ,associate professor of psychology at the University of Illinois at Chicago , told the British Psychological Society s Research Dige

34、are four choices markedA, B, C and D. Choose the one that fits best according to the information given in the passage you have just read.(A)Exciting concertos （协奏曲）from Vivadis The Four Seasons can boost mental alertness , according to research from Northumbria University .The findings , which are p
35、ublished in Experimental Psychology , show that the exciting first movement (乐章), in particular , is capable of enhancing attention.In the experiment a group of 14 young adults were given a mental concentration task to perform. They were asked to press the space bar on a key board when a green squar
36、e appeared on screen and ignore different coloured circles and squares that appeared at intervals. The participants carried out this task both in silence and while listening to each of the four concertos while their brain activity was measured using EEG brain imaging .Results showed that participant
37、s responded correctly faster when listening to the exciting Spring concerto . When listening to the concerto , the average response time in performing the task was 393.8 milliseconds （毫秒） as opposed to 408.1 milliseconds when the task was carried out in silence . This response time rose to 413.3 mil
38、liseconds when they listened to the slower and sadder Autumn music , therefore showing a decrease in mental capacity .Psychologist Dr. Leigh Riby said , “ The Spring movement enhanced overall activity within the brain but had an exaggerated effect on the area of the brain thats important for emotion
39、al processing . It seemed to give rise to particular imagery in the brain and evoke positive , contented feeling which translated into high levels of cognitive functioning Dr Riby suggests that the Spring movement is particularly special and could be used in therapy and is , in fact , quite a famili
40、ar piece to most people as it has been used successfully in marketing to induce mood and influence behavior.He also found that the key in which the music was written had no impact on the brain performance . While the Spring concerto , which is written in a major key enhanced cognitive function ,the
41、Autumn movement , which is also written in a major key , did not.He added , “ This experiment shows that cognitive capacity is enhanced when pleasant and arousing stimuli are introduced.”66. Under what circumstance did participants respond correctly faster?A. When they were in complete silence.B. Wh
42、en they were listening to slow and sad music C. When they were listening to the Autumn concerto D. When they were listening to the Spring concerto 67. What did Dr.Riby say about the Spring movement in Paragraph 5?A. It could evoke negative feelings B. It seemed helpful for improving cognitive functi
43、on .C. It had surprising little impact on the brain.D. It enhanced overall activity of the body .68. Why most people are quite familiar with the Spring movement ?A. It has been used in therapy settngs B. It has been successfully used in marketing C. People think it is quite special and classicD. Peo
44、ple usually listen to it to adjust their mood.69. What can we learn from the last two paragraphs?A. The key in which the music was written was never important B. The Spring and Autumn movement were written in different keys.C. Pleasant and arousing stimuli can enhance cognitive capacity .D. The Autu
45、mn concerto could enhance cognitive ability .(B)A new Pew Research poll shows that the cultural battle between rich and poor is as fierce as ever.Fully 66% of Americans believe there are strong or very strong conflicts between rich and poor in the U.S. Thats way up from 47% in 2009. The rich-poor co
46、nflict now eclipses perceived conflicts over immigration. The poll found that 62% of respondents believed there was a strong conflict between immigrants and native-born Americans less than the 66% for rich-poor. Whats more, Americans remain highly skeptical of the way the rich in America get rich. A
47、ccording to the poll, 46% of respondents believe the wealthy got wealthy because they were born with money or they knew the right people. Only 43% of Americans believe that hard work, ambition or education are the reasons the rich got rich. Of course, these qestions could have been phrased more prec
48、isely. Getting rich through an inheritance is very different from getting rich by making the right connections and relationships in life (clearly a part of any rich-persons journey). They should be separated as wealth causes. And the numbers are about the same as they were in 2009, meaning that whil
49、e class-warfare may be at an all-time high, Americans actual perceptions of the rich havent changed much. Yet their opinions are still fairly negative, since more Americans believe the rich owe their fortunes to their parents or clubby social circles rather than hard work, ambition or education. Thi
50、s skeptical view is most pronounced among the young, or those between the ages of 18 and 34. Republicans believe in the hard work path more than Democrats (their responses are almost mirror opposites). And men generally fall into the hard work camp more than women. The results highlight just how con
51、flicted Americans are about the rich. Most studies show that more than two-thirds of todays millionaires made it themselves, rather than from inheritance. And clearly education and skills matter in making a fortune in the knowledge economy.70. The new Pew Research poll tells us that _.A. the conflic
52、t between rich and poor becomes not so appear.B. more people believe there is a conflict between rich and poor.C. there is no conflict between immigrants and native-born AmericansD. the cultural conflict between rich and immigrants is as fierce as ever.71. What does the word “eclipses” ( line 1, par
53、a 3) mean?A. To make something disappear gradually B. To make something much more influential C. To make something seem more obvious.D. To make something appear dull by comparison. 72. What can we learn from the results of most studies ?A. Most of the rich people made their fortune on their own.B. M
54、ost of todays millionarires became rich through inheritance.C. Education is not as important fro people when making a fortuneD. The current economy does not value education very much CToday , a successful single woman who falls for a man making less money than she does or not sharing her sharing her
55、 career ambition may face not-so-subtle disapproval from friends and family and be considered as she is “marrying down”.These women were in love with solid supportive guys who shared their values - men who werent driven by money. They dreaded the concerned whispers from friends or family who persist
56、ed in believing that they were marrying down.As a couples therapist, the notion of marrying down strikes me as impossibly out of date. Its right out of the Downton Abbey era, when suitable marriages were entirely a matter of matching people according to social class and fortune - hence the panic whe
57、n Lord Granthams youngest daughter marries the familys Irish driver.The notion that women should marry up endured well past the heyday of the English gentry, and the most successful breadwinners were considered the most desirable mates. Well into the 20th century, relatively few high-paying jobs wer
58、e available to women, so for the most part, women went to college to get their M.R.S., or maybe to land the kind of work that would put them near the right professional men.Today, more women than men are graduating from college and graduate school. Pew Research, which has been compiling data on the
59、topic over the past 50 years, reports that for the first time, the share of couples in which the wife is the one marrying down educationally is higher than those in which the husband has more education. In 2012, the report notes, 27% of newlywed women married a spouse with less education, while only
60、 15% of newlywed men did the same.More education doesnt necessarily lead to greater earning power, but in most U.S. cities, single, childless women under 30 now make more money than their male peers, according to analysis by Reach Advisors, a research firm.For most strong, successful women, the alph
61、a male of old isnt the best match. I have seen in my practice what happens when two dominant personalities engage in power struggles: The alpha male will assume that his priorities should dominate, while the alpha woman will assert hers. These are the most difficult things to deal with .What high-ac
62、hieving women need are men strong enough to support their achievements, contribute to the household in services and/or money, and be loving partners.Todays romances suggest that growing numbers of smart women and men are marrying neither up nor down - theyre just marrying the right person.73. What w
63、ere considered when matching people in the “ Downton Abbey “ era?A. Age and interestB. Blood and ageC. Job and classD. Fortune and class74. What was the main reason that woman went to college in the 20th century ?A.They wanted to get well-paid jobs B. They wanted to be financially independent C. The
64、y wanted to become professional D. They wanted to find a satisfying husband 75. Why the alpha male and successful women are not well matched ?A. They do not know how to negotiate B. They care much about other people s feelingsC. They are too busy to take care of each other D. They are both very ambi
