21、Have you ever considered why you begin yawning too when you see someone yawn? Or how hard it is to be among people laughing and not laugh yourself? Well, apparently it's because we have mirror neurons (神经元）in our brains.
Put simply, the existence of mirror neurons suggests that every time we see someone else do something, our brains imitate it whether or not we actually perform the same action. This explains a great deal about how, we learn to smile, talk, walk, dance or play sports. But the idea goes further: mirror neurons not only appear to explain physical actions, they also tell us that there is a biological basis for the way we understand other people.
Mirror neurons can undoubtedly be found all over our brains, but especially in the areas which relate to our ability to use languages, and to understand how other people feel. Researchers have found that mirror neurons relate strongly to language. A group of researchers discovered that if they gave people sentences to listen to ( for example: “The hand took hold of the ball” ) , the same mirror neurons were triggered as when the action was actually performed (in this example, actually taking hold of a ball).
Any problems with mirror neurons may well result in problems with behavior. Much research suggests that people with social and behavioral problems have mirror neurons which are not fully functioning. However, it is not yet known exactly how these discoveries might help find treatments for social disorders.
Research into mirror neurons seems to provide us with even more information regarding how humans behave and interact. Indeed, it may turn out to be the equivalent (相等物）for neuroscience of what Einstein's theory of relativity was for physics. And the next time you feel the urge to cough in the cinema when someone else does — well, perhaps you'll understand why.
【1】Mirror neurons can explain _____
A. why we smile when we see someone else smile
B. why we yawn when we see someone else stay up late
C. why we cry when we are hurt
D. why we cough when we suffer from a cold
【2】The underlined word "triggered" in the third paragraph probably means “_____’’.
A. built up B. broken up
C. set off D. cut off
【3】We can learn from the passage that mirror neurons _____.
A. determine our knowledge and language abilities
B. control human physical actions and feelings
C. result in bad behavior and social disorders
D. relate to human behavior and interaction
【4】What is the passage mainly about?
A. Ways to find mirror neurons.
B. Problems of mirror neurons.
C. Functions of mirror neurons.
D. Existence of mirror neurons.
22、Germany is the leader of the world’s waste-recycling race. The country has quite a detailed way of sorting their waste-down to the color of glass waste, the type of paper, the separate bin for metals, etc.
Here below are what you should know about Germany’s waste sorting system:
◇You are expected to gather your waste in your apartment/housing area’s local public garbage bins.
◇There are commonly several types of public garbage bins available in the German’s apartment/housing area:
• Blue bin-for paper and cardboard
•Green and white bin-for glass, different bins for differently colored glass, not available for holiday decorations and lights
•Yellow/orange bin - for plastic and metals
•Gray/black bin- for everything else that can’t be recycled such as used cat litter and animal waste
•Brown bin - for goods that can be changed naturally by bacteria into substances that don't harm the environment, like leftovers, fruit and vegetables
◇Some items don’t belong in these public garbage bins. Items like used batteries, electronics, unused paints, and lights must be returned to the special agents/locations so they can be properly recycled. Other items such as clothes, shoes, and oversized rubbish and furniture are advised to be donated or sold.
◇There’s this thing called Pfand in Germany, a certain part of the price for a bottled drink that you get back if you send back the bottle to certified shops. German law requires shops over a certain size selling bottled drinks have a Pfandrückgabestelle, or place for bottles with deposits(押金). These bottles usually made of glass or plastic will be refilled. Of course, there're strict health regulations.
【1】Which bin should abandoned pet food be put into?
A．The blue bin.
B．The gray/black bin.
C．The brown bin.
D．The green and white bin.
【2】How can Germans deal with a large old sofa?
A．By giving it away.
B．By putting it in a specific location.
C．By returning it to special agents.
D．By selling it to a Pfandrückgabestelle.
【3】What is the function of Pfand?
A．Ensuring the cleanliness of refilled bottles.
B．Encouraging consumers to return bottles.
C．Reducing the use of non-recyclable bottles.
D．Having shops reuse plastic or glass bottles.
23、 Many of us live with a roommate at some stage. Sometimes, there can be problems. Who hasn't had an argument about whose turn it is to take out the rubbish or who should be the one to clear up after dinner? 【1】
You know that there's always someone else around, which can help you feel safer. There is always someone to talk to, so you never feel lonely. 【2】 For example, we're actually more likely to eat healthier food when living with others.
Australian researchers found that people living alone tended to eat less fresh food, which can have a negative effect on their health. However, those living with others generally benefited from a more varied diet compared to those living alone.
【3】 The researchers believe food preparation may be one of the important factors. For example, those living with friends have someone else to go shopping with, and thus are likely to buy higher-quality fresh food regularly.
【4】 If people living alone find they do not have the knowledge required to prepare a particular dish or cook a certain food, they may fall back on ready-made, less healthy food. However, if they live with at least one other person, they may be able to ask for help.
In addition, people living alone can eat whatever they want at any time of the day or night. However, it's helpful to have someone around who questions your decision to eat frozen pizza at 3 a.m. 【5】
A.What could explain these findings?
B.Cooking skills may be another factor.
C.You can encourage one another to go on a diet.
D.Statistics show people living alone tend to be slimmer.
E.That is, roommates can warn you of unhealthy routines.
F.Besides these obvious benefits, there are some you may not notice.
G.However, living with another person also comes with many benefits.
24、Scientists are using robots to study the health of waters in and around Venice, Italy. The robots are designed to act like fish, other underwater creatures and plants. The scientists are working with several universities and research centers as part of a group called subCULTron. The European Union gives money to the project as part of its Horizon 2020 program whose aim is to take great ideas from the lab to the market and support science and innovation (创新) in Europe. The scientists want to use the artificial intelligence of the robots to help humans understand what is happening under the water of the Venice lagoon (潟湖).
SubCULTron, a collective artificial intelligence project, plans to create the biggest shoal (鱼群) of robot fish in the world. The project’s aim is to improve knowledge of the seabed and try to turn human abilities into hi-tech items.
Alexandre Campo, a computer scientist, says the scientists have looked at the way animals learn to work in groups to understand how robots can learn to work together. The subCULTron project wants its robots to learn to work together so they can watch out for changes and new problems in the water.
One problem the researchers had in the beginning was how the robots would communicate with each other. Wi-Fi and GPS equipment don’t work underwater. Instead，the robots can use sonar (声呐) and an electric field.
Another problem was charging batteries. The robots come up to the water’s surface and stay near a boat or a power station to charge without any electrical cables. Besides, how to be water- proof, especially for some key pads of the robots, was really tough. Fortunately, a special mixture has been created to be pinned on the robot, which successfully stands the test of water.
The health state of the lagoon is pretty good. There are no industrial polluters, and the city now has a modem sewer (污水管) system. It’s not like before when all the waste flushed directly into the water. The robots in Venice will continue their work until 2019. The subCULTron project hopes they develop into “an artificial society underneath the water surface” that serves “a human society above the water”.
【1】What can we learn about the project in Paragraph 1?
A．Its researchers are all from universities.
B．The European Union has financially supported it.
C．It uses robots to clean the waters in and around Venice.
D．It is aimed to support science and innovation worldwide.
【2】What can we infer according to Alexandre Campo?
A．Scientists have got an idea for robots from the animals.
B．The robots are working separately to perform their tasks.
C．SubCULTron is to turn human abilities into hi-tech items.
D．The health state of the lagoon has greatly improved recently.
【3】The underlined word “they” in the last paragraph probably refers to “ ”.
A．scientists
B．animals
C．robots
D．humans
【4】What does the author mainly want to tell us in the passage?
A．Robots are coining into our cities soon.
B．Animals can tell us how to clean the water.
C．Waters in Venice have been greatly cleaned.
D．Robot fish watch out for the waters in Venice.

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。
Ricky lived in a lovely, futuristic (未来派的) house, which had everything you could ever want. Though he didn’t help much around the house, Ricky was still very pleased when his parents bought him the latest model of robot. As soon as it arrived, off it went, cooking, cleaning, ironing, and — most importantly — gathering up clothes from Ricky’s bedroom floor. On that first day, when Ricky went to sleep, he had left his bedroom in a truly disastrous state. When he woke up the next morning, everything was perfectly clean and tidy.
In fact, it was actually “too” clean; now Ricky couldn’t find his favorite T-shirt, nor his favorite toy. However much he searched, the two things did not reappear. The same was starting to happen with other things. Ricky began to suspect the robot. He planned to spy on the robot, and began following it around the house. Finally he caught it red-handed, picking up one of Ricky’s toys to hide it.
Ricky told his parents that the robot was broken and badly programmed and asked them to have it changed. But his parents told him absolutely not; they were delighted with the new robot, and it cooked like a dream.
One day, the robot was whirring (嗡嗡地响) past, and heard the boy’s complaints. The robot returned with one of the boy’s toys, and some clothes for him. “Here, sir. I did not know it was bothering you” said the robot. “How could it not, you thief?! You’ve been stealing my belongings for weeks!” the boy answered angrily. “The objects were left on the floor. I therefore calculated that you did not like them. I am programmed to collect all that is not wanted, and at night I send it to people who can use it. I am a maximum efficiency (效率) machine. Were you unaware?” the robot said, with a certain pride.
注意：1. 续写词数应为150左右；
2. 请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。
Ricky started feeling ashamed.
__________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
Since then, Ricky had decided to become a “maximum efficiency boy”.
