53、thousands of random numbers in under an hour, state that they just have normal brains. Some memory superstars compete in Olympic-like World Memory Championships. These mental athletes, or MAs for short, can memorize names of dozens of strangers in a few minutes or any poem handed them. Ed Cooke, a 2
54、4-year-old MA, explains they see themselves as participants rescuing the long-lost art of memory training. These techniques existed not to recall useless information, but to cut into the brain basic text and ideas. A study in the journal Nature examined eight people who finished near the top of the
55、World Memory Championships. The scientists examined whether their brains were fundamentally different from everyone elses or whether they were simply making better use of memorizing abilities we all possess. They put the MAs and control subjects into brain scanners and had them memorize numbers and
56、photographs. The result surprised everyone. The brains of the MAs and those of the control subjects were indistinguishable. On every test, the MAs scored in the normal range. However, when the scientists examined what part of the brain was used during a memory activity, they found the MAs relied mor
57、e heavily on areas in the brain involved in spatial memory. MAs offer an explanation: anything can be fixed upon our memories and kept in order by constructing a building in the imagination and filling it with pictures of what needs to be recalled. Dating back to the fifth century, the building is c
58、alled a memory palace. Even as late as the fourteenth century, when there were copies of any text, scholars needed to remember what was read to them. Reading to remember requires a different technique than speed reading. If something is made memorable, it has to be repeated. Until relatively recentl
59、y, people read only a few books intensively (细致地) again and again, usually aloud. Today we read extensively, usually only once and without continuous focus. So the great difference is the ability to create impressive pictures in mind and to do it quickly. Using memory palaces, MAs create memorized p
60、ictures. For example, recombine the pictures to form unforgettable scenes such as the ways through a town. One competitor used his own body parts to help him memorize a 57, 000-word dictionary. Anyone who wishes to train the mind needs first to create fantastical palaces in the imagination. Then the
61、y should cut each building into cubbyholes for memories. In a short amount of time, they will notice improvement with remembering things. To keep the skill sharp, MAs deliberately empty their palaces after competitions, so they can reuse them and they recommend that beginners do the same. 【语篇概述】本文是一
62、篇说明文, 记忆达人与普通人的头脑是不是存在着差别? 文章对此进行了研究, 发现这些记忆达人在记忆的时候会使用空间记忆等不同的记忆构建方法。28. We can learn from Paragraph 2 that a mental athlete _.

65、ble scenes. B. Memory palaces can be quickly forgotten. C. Impressive pictures are in actual buildings. D.

66、last paragraph probably mean? A. Small spaces. B. Blacks holes. C. Technical skills. D. Different numbers. 【解析】选A。猜测词义题。横线前面一句“Anyone who wishes to train the mind needs first to create fantastical palaces in the imagination. ”告诉我们首先要在脑海里创造出幻想出的宫殿, 然后再把这些宫殿分隔成不同的记忆空间来存储不同的记忆内容。所以本句中的“cubbyholes”是指被分隔
67、出来的小空间。故选A。DAccording to the Associated Press (AP), a Chinese scientist claims he successfully created the worlds first genetically-edited babies. Chinese researcher He Jiankui, a research professor at Chinas Southern University of Science and Technology in Shenzhen, said he had edited DNA of twin g
68、irls born a few weeks ago. Hes claims were immediately criticized by some scientists as unsafe and unethical. This kind of gene editing is forbidden in the United States and many other countries.

He said the process had “worked safely” and the twin girls were “as healthy as any other babies. ” He told the AP he felt a s
70、trong responsibility “not just to make a first, but also to make an example” for future research. “Society will decide what to do next, ” he said. When Hes claims became public, the university made a statement saying his work had “seriously went against academic ethics and standards. ” University of
71、ficials said they had no knowledge of his research and had looked into the case. Chinas National Health Commission was “highly concerned” about the claims and ordered local health officials “to immediately look into” Hes activity. “We have to be responsible for the peoples health and will act on thi
72、s according to the law, ” the commission said. Scientists discovered in recent years a new way to edit genes that make up a persons DNA throughout the body. The tool, called CRISPR-cas9, makes it possible to change DNA to supply a needed gene or take one away that is causing problems. So far the too
73、l has only been used on adults to treat deadly diseases, and the changes only affected that person. Kiran Musunuru, a scientist from University of Pennsylvania, told the AP that if such an experiment had been carried out on human beings, it could not be “morally or ethically reasonable. ” Julian Sav
74、ulescu, a medical ethics expert at Britains University of Oxford, agreed. “If true, this experiment may cause disasters, ” he told Reuters. However, one well-known geneticist, Harvard Universitys George Church, defended the attempt to edit genes to prevent infections of HIV. He told the AP that sinc
75、e HIV is “a major and growing public health threat” he finds such experiments “valuable”. 【语篇概述】这是一篇新闻报道。这篇文章主要讲了据美联社报道, 一名中国科学家声称他成功地创造了世界上第一个经过基因编辑的婴儿。32. What can we learn from this passage? A.

D. 【解析】选A。推理判断题。第三段Hes claims were immediately criticized by some scientists as unsafe and unethical. This kind of gene editing is forbidden in the United States and many other countries. 说贺的说法立即被一些科学家批评
78、为不安全和不道德的。这种基因编辑在美国和其他许多国家是被禁止的。由此判断上文一定会说“然而, 许多科学家认为这样的实验是危险的”, 故选A。34. Whats the authors attitude towards He Jiankuis research? A. Supportive. B. Uninterested. C. Doubtful. D. Neutral. 【解析】选D。推理判断题。作者只是如实说出社会各界对贺建奎基因编辑婴儿的看法, 所以作者对于贺建奎的研究持中立态度, 故选D。35. What might be the best title of this passage?
79、 A. Chinese Scientist Claims First Gene Edited BabiesB. Chinese Scientist Finds A New Cure For AIDSC. Gene Editing Still Has A Long Way To GoD. China Takes The Lead In Gene Editing【解析】选A。主旨大意题。第一段According to the Associated Press (AP), a Chinese scientist claims he successfully created the worlds fi
