Its not just because they are both great men, and not because they happened to live at the same time. Rather, its because the scientist and the politician each st
18、arted a revolution that changed the world. They are both revolutionaries in the sense that both men changed the reality when they were born.

27、always a headache for Chinese people at formal meals. Although the people hosting the meal are very likely to pay the check, it is common practice to make token (象征性的) effort to pay the bill, but you will embarrass them if you do end up actually chipping in (凑) some cash.In recent years, going Dutch
28、 has been embraced (接受) by many young people. But older generations who fear “losing face”still find it embarrassing and stingy (小气的) to calculate each persons share of the bill. As travel guide brand Lonely Planet noted, it is considered “the height of unsophistication (不懂人情世故)”.But these days, tha
29、nks to digital payment apps, splitting (分摊) the bill electronically is becoming a widely-accepted idea. Even people from older generations may be tempted (想做的) to do so.

36、d on to wake them up in the morning? Roosters.“ A roosters crow (啼叫) symbolizes the break of dawn in many countries,” Takashi Yoshimura, professor at Nagoya University in Japan, told National Geographic. They are known to regularly crow two to three times at dawn. However, scientists have long been
37、unsure about why the animals do this. “It wasnt clear whether crowing is under the control of a biological clock or is simply response to external stimuli (外部刺激).”Roosters do react to the environmentsuch as car headlightsat any time of day. So it was previously thought that the increasing light in t
38、he morning might be the trigger (触发物) for roosters crowing.But Yoshimura and his colleagues now claim to have finally figured out the reasonroosters dont need morning light to know when to start crowing; they will crow at the same time every day regardless of whether they can see dawn breaking. In t
39、he study, which was published in the journal Current Biology, researchers placed 40 roosters in a soundproof (隔音的), windowless room under dim (昏暗的) lighting for 24 hours. But this didnt deter the roosters. No matter what, they kept crowing in the morning just before dawn. “It is proof that the behav
40、ior is caused by circadian rhythm (生理节奏)”, said Yoshimura. In short, the roosters are genetically programmed to crow at a certain time every 24 hours.Most animals, as well as plants, have such an internal (内部的) time-keeping system. Thats why we tend to eat, sleep and exercise at around the same time
41、 every day. By consciously (有意识地) being aware of the schedule, our body has a chance to adapt to it, so keeping a regular biological clock is often tied to good health.This experiment is the first of its kind to investigate (研究) the timing of roosters crowing. Kristen Navara, a scientist at the Univ
42、ersity of Georgia in the US who was not involved in the study, said that she wasnt sure why no one had taken a closer look at this well-known phenomenon before. “I think this is a very interesting study and something that should have been done a long time ago.” said Navara.32. What has been recently
43、 discovered to make roosters crow in the morning？A. External stimuli like noises. B. Their biological clocks.C. Exposure to morning light. D. Increased temperature.33. What does the underlined word “deter” mean in Paragraph 6?A. Prevent. B. Attract. C. Encourage. D. Upset.34. Which of the following
44、statements is TRUE according to the article?A. Roosters have the same circadian rhythms as humans.B. Following our biological clocks is good for our health.C. Dark conditions can have some effect on roosters crowing.D. Roosters biological clocks will change to help them adapt to the environment.35.
45、How would Kristen Navara describe Yoshimuras study? A. Worthless. B. Meaningful C. Boring. D. Unscientific.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。“What! You, too? I thought I was the only one.” Have you ever said this to someone? If so, you may have ended up becoming frien
46、ds with this person. 36 . As the Greek philosopher Aristotle once said, “Some define it (friendship) as a matter of similarity; they say that we love those who are like ourselves.” 37 . Scientists from the University of California said friends have similar brains, Scientific American reported. The s
47、cientists invited 42 university students to take part in an experiment. Each student watched the same set of videos, which included a comedy, a debate and a soccer match. 38 .According to their scans, friends who watched the same video clips (片段) reacted in similar ways. 39 , especially the parts th
48、at are connected with learning and memory.However, people who werent friends had different reactions to the same clips. Having close friends whose brains react like ours “may be rewarding because it backs up ones own values, opinions, and interests,” lead scientist Carolyn Parkinson told Business In
49、sider. 40 . Scientists from the University of Leipzig, Germany, found that friendship is also based on how physically close you are to someone. They did an experiment with first-year college students who met in class for the first time. In this experiment, students who sat in neighboring seats were
50、more likely to become friends.A. Meanwhile, the scientists scanned their brains to record their brain activityB. However, not all the friends will react in the same wayC. It seems that similarity often helps form friendshipsD. But brain similarity is not the only thing that can result in friendshipE
51、. According to the experiment, similarity can determine the quality of friendshipF. Similar parts of their brains lit up while watching the videosG.
