21、 As scientists probe(探究) the mysteries inside our heads, their discoveries are proving new insights into how we can all sharpen our mental machinery.
Your brain is fat
In fact, you brain is the fattiest organ in your body, consisting of a minimum of 60 percent fat. Fat carries, absorbs and stores vitamins in your bloodstream.【1】.
We can get smarter as we get older
Rawan Tarawneh, an assistant professor, points out that although some mental processes decline as we age, not all does.【2】, On the other hand, language functions tend to remain well preserved as we get older, peaking even into our early 70s.
【3】
Comparing the brains of great thinkers, writers, and mathematicians hasn’t yielded conclusive evidence that the size of the brain has a connection to intelligence.
Intelligence might start with ignoring distractions
Intelligent people were better at detecting movements of small objects on a screen but worse at movements of large background objects. This may be because in nature, large movements such as the wind in the trees are irrelevant, but the harder-to-see animals is essential.【4】
【5】
For example, experiments have shown that people who were born blind use the visual parts of their brains for tasks other than seeing.
A.Fat is essential for brain.
B.In our information-laden world, focusing on only what’s important may give some people an edge (优势).
C.The close connection between brain’s size and intelligence.
D.It also helps the immune system function properly.
E.You brain can adapt itself.
F.Some of our brain functions, such as short term memory show some decline with aging.
G.Bigger isn’t necessarily better.
22、The first great agricultural revolution happened 10,000 years ago, when humans settled on farms. The second was the “green revolution” from the 1930s to the 1960s, in which advances in fertilization, mechanization, and irrigation dramatically increased global food production. The third is likely to come from information, as digital technology and big data help farmers make better decisions and drive up crop production.
Michael Stern, president and chief executive officer of Climate Corp., said that the ability to gather detailed information about farmers’ fields, coupled with advances in weather forecasting, computing power, and artificial intelligence, will change farming from a business that often reacts to the past — applying insecticide this year because of a disease outbreak last year — to one that uses real-time data and weather forecasts to make more accurate decisions for the season to come.
Over the course of a growing season, farmers make 40 to 50 key decisions that affect crop performance. Recent trends that have swept other areas of society — such as cheap data storage, the ability to transfer data witlessly, and dramatic increases in computing power — have the potential to transform the farm.
Stem offered the example of a farmer preparing for the regular fall fertilizing of his fields who delays the application after being informed of a coming storm. That decision reduces runoff, keeps fertilizer on the field, and helps controls farmer’s costs. As data gathers season after season, computer models will help farmers better manage fertilizer and other additions to optimize production and minimize runoff.
Remote sensing is another way that modern technology can help farmers know what’s going on in their fields Many farmers dive around to monitor growth and watch for pets and diseases. But these surveys are typically random and don’t cover more than 2 percent of a field. Remote sensing can provide accurate data that covers an entire field and cables recommendations tailored to what’s going on in the stricken area.
【1】What will the third agricultural revolution most probably help farmers do?
A．To prevent disease outbreaks.
B．To grasp computing ability.
C．To make reasonable decisions.
D．To develop business potentials.
【2】Why did the author give an example in Paragraph 4 according to the text?
A．To confirm the coming of a storm.
B．To explain the reason of fertilizer runoff.
C．To show the use of computer models.
D．To stress the effect of information application.
【3】What is the advantage of the remote sensing technology?
A．It can show typical random.
B．It can offer exact information.
C．It can remove pests and diseases.
D．It can present advanced artificial intelligence.
【4】What is the author’s attitude to the coming agriculture revolution?
A．Favorable.
B．Objective.
C．Disapproval.
D．Ambiguous.
23、Parents across Europe and elsewhere have to look for creative ways to get their kids to eat fruits, vegetables and berries because they don’t eat enough greens, which is also a concern for many countries. As the health and nutrition benefits of these foods are well-known, increasing the consumption of them among children is a challenge. According to a new study, however, one effective way to get kids to eat more fruits and vegetables is to see Mom and Dad eat a lot of those foods themselves.
Researchers from the University of Eastern Finland asked the parents of 114 kindergarten-aged children to answer a survey about their kids’ consumption of vegetables, fruits, and berries, as well as their family’s home food environment. The study found that the example of a mother is associated with a child’s consumption of raw and cooked vegetables and fruits and berries, while the example of a father is stronger for the consumption of cooked vegetables.
What’s more, the researchers found that dinner is the most important meal when it comes to teaching children to eat vegetables since dinners are opportunities to serve vegetables in different forms, whether it’s the main course, a side dish, or a salad. The families participating in the study often ate dinner together, stressing the role of parental influence on the development of children’s dietary choices and preferences. When it comes to eating fruits, evening snacks were the most important meal. Noticeably, many families still eat fewer vegetables, fruits and berries that would be beneficial. Cooked vegetables and berries were the least eaten among the study population.
It’s worth mentioning that, the researchers have done another relevant study. In that study, they noted educating children on food knowledge in kindergartens can promote good nutrition among them and the establishment of healthy dietary habits, which often stick with people all the way to adulthood.
【1】What makes many countries worried?

【3】What will the following paragraph probably focus on?
A．Dietary habits of adults.
B．Ways to promote good nutrition.
C．Early-childhood food education.
D．Necessity of educating children on food.
【4】What’s the text mainly about?
A．Importance of food nutrition.
B．Function of family meals for kids.
C．Researchers’ study of food varieties.
D．Parental influence on kids’ eating greens.
24、 Exercising regularly not only helps you keep slim, but also improves your overall health and well-being. Different exercises produce different results, as they focus on alternate parts of the body. There are four broad exercise categories: endurance, strength, flexibility, and balance. Many people often only focus on one exercise type, but including all four in your workout will produce better results and reduce your risk of injury.
Endurance
Endurance exercises increase your breathing and heart rate. By doing endurance exercises, you are working to keep your heart, lungs, and blood-flow system healthy while improving your total fitness. Over time these activities will make everyday activities seem easier.
Strength
If you want to build up your muscles, then strength exercises, which are also known as "resistance training", are right for you. Even the slightest increase in strength can make a huge difference in your ability to carry out daily tasks. Developing strong muscles also reduces your risk of weak bones.
Flexibility
Flexibility exercises help stretch your body's muscles. This allows for more freedom of movement for other exercises and can also improve your range of motion, posture, ability to breathe deeply, and blood flow. Also, it reduces the muscle tension caused by stress.
Balance
Balance exercises help prevent falls and are especially important to older adults, helping them stay independent. Most good balance exercises are ones that keep you constantly moving with your feet on the ground. Heel — to — toe walking and standing on one foot are simple ways to improve balance.
【1】What does the writer advise people to benefit from the exercise rules?
A．By concentrating on one training aspect at a time.
B．By combining all the four exercise types together.
C．By having sufficient rest to reduce the risk of injury.
D．By timing the speed and lengthening the training time frequently.

26、阅读下面材料，根据其内容和所给段落开头语续写两段，使之构成一篇完整的短文。
Krymzen, aged 10 and her sister Samara Wagner, aged 9, lived in Edmonton, near the North Saskatchewan River. It was 4 p.m. on Easter Sunday and there was still snow on the ground. The sisters dressed in their favorite T-shirts and pink leggings ran to the woodland behind their home. They loved Rundle Park in the river valley. It was a perfect place to play while their mom, Miranda Wagner, was busy preparing the family’s festive dinner.
Before long, they got bored. They decided to do something different. Krymzen led the way and Samara followed. They were heading to the one place their mom had told them never to go—the river. They started taking little careful steps across the ice, dipping their rubber boots into the water. Then they heard a big crack.
After hearing the crack, Krymzen turned around fast and got back to safety. But Samara didn’t. She fell into the cold river. Seeing the dangerous situation, she ran back to Samara. “Samara, can you reach my hand?” she cried as her sister struggled in the water.
Not far away from the river, a young couple Adam and Kelsey Shaw were walking their dog Rocky, an eight-year-old husky. They were crossing the Rundle Park footbridge on the way back to the parking lot when they heard screams.
They looked over the side of the bridge and spotted a girl who had fallen through the ice and another trying to pull her to safety. “We see you!” They shouted down to them. “Help is coming!” Adam told Kelsey to call an ambulance. Then he turned to the dog. “Rocky,” he said, “we’re going down.” He and Rocky slipped and slid down the same hill the girls took just minutes earlier.
