21、Reading minds may not be simple, but it might be possible actually. What if a brain scan could reveal your memories? A team of British scientists recently just did that—they used brain scans to look at spatial （空间的） memory in four people. Spatial memory is the kind of memory you use to remember where you are. You use spatial memory to remember how to get from your house to school. People build spatial memory as they explore a new city or a new building and take in information about their surroundings.
The scientists asked each participant to sit down at a computer and wander through 3D rooms. These virtual rooms contained images of objects, like clocks and doors, so that the people could know where they were. Each person was encouraged to explore the virtual space.
As the people became familiar with these rooms, their brains were taking notes of where things were, and how to get from one point to another. After observing these rooms, the participants were instructed to go to a specific location within the rooms. At this point, the scientists took pictures of the people's brains using an instrument called FMRI （核磁共振成像） .
As participants stared at the floor, the scientists took FMRI scans to measure brain activity. They repeated this process many times. After a few repetitions, the scientists recognized the patterns in the participants' brains. By looking at patterns on the brain scans, the scientists were able to read the spatial memory of the test subjects.
This experiment shows that it is possible to use FMRI to gather some kinds of memories from people. However, your secret thoughts and personal memories are safe—for now. “It is not the case that we can put someone in a brain scanner and simply read his private thoughts,” said one of the scientists who worked on the project.
【1】What can we learn about spatial memory from the first paragraph?
A．It contributes to exploring a new subject.
B．It lets you remember what has been done.
C．It helps you memorize places where you are.
D．It takes in information about new knowledge.
【2】Which of the following is the right order of the study?
a. The scientists took photos of the brains with the FMRI.
b. The scientists read the spatial memory of the participants.
c. The participants were asked to explore virtual rooms.
d. The scientists repeated the process a few times.
A．a, b, c, d
B．c, a, d, b
C．b, c, d, a
D．c, d, a, b
【3】Why are our secret mind and private memories safe?
A．Because FMRIs can’t gather any memory from people.
B．Because scientists can't understand all pictures taken by FMRIs.
C．Because FMRIs can't be completely reliable now.
D．Because scientists can't read people's thoughts directly.
【4】What does the passage mainly talk about?
A．Spatial memory and FMRIs.
B．A very important research.
C．How scientists can read people's memories.
D．A new kind of camera—FMRIs.
22、 Should we focus on our goal, or on the process?
What happened to Brenda Martinez, a US Olympic runner, may provide us with the right answer. She lost her balance in the 800-meter run and failed to qualify for the Olympics. Instead of focusing on her failure, she prepared to win in the next race. “I just quickly let go of what happened in the 800m and got back to my routine, to focusing on all the little things I could do that would give me the best chance of running well later in the week,” she told New York Magazine Intelligence. She said it was this mindset that led to her wining third place in the 1500-meter race about a week later to qualify for the Olympics in Rio. Instead of attaching herself to the goal of making the Olympic team, she concentrated on the process.
There is a problem with setting goals. Researchers from Harvard, the University of Pennsylvania and Northwestern, found that overemphasizing goals based on measurable outcomes often leads to risk-taking, unethical (不道德的) behavior and reduced motivation. Their results were published in a Harvard Business School report titled Goals Gone Wild: The Systematic Side Effects of Over-Prescribing Goal Setting.
When you become overly focused on achieving the goal, you may lose sight of your original purpose for accomplishing the goal in the first place. Another danger is actually completing the goal without setting a plan for what's next. For example, some marathon runners experience what's called the"post-race blues". Achieving your goal may cause you to drop the good-habits that got you there in the first place. Dieters often experience this in what’s called “yo-yo dieting” when they drop down to a desired weight, but then gain all the weight back when they start their bad habits again.
“After you set a goal, it’s best to shift your focus from the goal itself to the process that gives you the best chance of achieving it and to judge yourself based on how well you complete that process,” columnist Brad Stulberg wrote on the website The Cut.
Ultimately, changing your attention from goals to process will cause you to achieve little victories on your way to accomplishing long-term goals. Amy Cuddy, a Harvard Business School psychology professor, wrote that focusing on this process “leaves you with a sense of satisfaction and accomplishment, regardless of the measurable outcome.”
【1】Why is Brenda Martinez's experience mentioned?
A．To suggest learning from failure can bring success.
B．To describe how important it is to set big goals.
C．To show how focusing on the process can lead to success.
D．To show opportunity favors the prepared mind.
【2】What problem could overemphasizing goals bring about, according to paragraph 3?
A．The use of unfair means.
B．Ignoring the whole picture.
C．Overestimating the setbacks.
D．Being stressed by the risks involved.
【3】What can be inferred from paragraph 4?
A．We can't focus on the goal too much.
B．We should keep in mind why we set the goal.
C．We should form good habits when completing the goal.
D．We should accept that it is normal to feel down after achieving the goal.
【4】What are the last two paragraphs mainly about?
A．ways of judging a goal.
B．Ways to set long-term goals.
C．What gives you the best chance of achieving goals.
D．Benefits of focusing on the process.
23、Space X Makes Space History
Recycling isn't just for cans, bottles and unwanted gifts anymore. South African businessman Elon Musk's space transport company Space X has recycled its way into history and redefine the future of space flight.
On March 30, Space X successfully launched a “pre-flown” rocket. It marked the first time anyone has relaunched a booster (助推器) into space. Musk called it “a milestone in the history of space.” SpaceX hopes to turn space flight into a profitable business. To make it a reality, the company has long realized that reusable rockets will be an important part of its business model. A typical rocket launch of the type performed by SpaceX costs around 62million.A one-time-use rocket, which, once used, falls to earth and breaks up, makes up as much as 30 percent of the launch price.
Musk's ambitions (雄心), however, are not without risks. Last September, one of SpaceX's rockets exploded on its launch platform, destroying the booster, the spacecraft and its cargo-a multimillion-dollar satellite. The explosion set back the company's plan to relaunch a used rocket, but Musk seemed to be even more hopeful. The businessman believes that most rocket parts can be used dozens of times.
Following the success in March, Space X now plans to push on. Its plan is to have rockets launched, landed and then relaunched with 24 hours. Those rockets, the company hopes, will make the flights without maintenance (维护), and up to 100 flights in total. It's not clear how much effort that will take, but if Space X makes it a reality, the company will quickly achieve a position of power in the space industry.
【1】What makes SpaceX different from other companies?
A．Rewriting the history of space travel.
B．The long history in launching rockets.
C．Recycling the booster for further launch.
D．Collecting more money for space flight.
【2】What does the underlined word “milestone” mean in the 2nd paragraph?
A．Riddle.
B．Plot.
C．Medium.
D．Landmark.
【3】What do we know about Elon Musk from the Paragraph 3?
A．He is a man of good luck.
B．He is a man of strong will.
C．He is good at space flights.
D．He is good at reusing things.
【4】What may Space X do next?
A．Send 100 rockets up into space.
B．Make it a reality to live in space.
C．Make it common to reuse rockets.
D．Launch a rocket within 24 hours.
24、Shanghai became the first city to enforce its strictest-ever garbage regulation on July 1. According to the regulation, residents are required to separate dry refuse, wet trash, recyclable waste and dangerous waste. Individuals who fail to sort garbage face fines of up to 200 yuan (about $29). Enterprises can be fined up to 5, 000 yuan for failure to sort waste. China Daily readers share their opinions.
Fatdragon (UK)
In the UK, they force householders to sort the waste and administer heavy fines for getting it wrong. Needless to say, having acquired tons of waste that has been sorted for recycling, administers found the waste often just sits in a field because there is no market for it.
Bushier (Malaysia)
All that is needed is money invested in semi-auto sorting machines inside a factory and guaranteed, and then these garbage problems are solved. Some workers are still needed when machines are unable to sort correctly. New York has a garbage factory like this.
Mixamixa (Finland)
In Finland all apartment buildings with more than five apartments must recycle paper, cardboard, glass, metal and bio-waste. Failing to do so will give your apartment company a big fine. In Finland all soft drinks, wine bottles, beer bottles and strong alcohol bottles have a deposit. For example, a 1.5 liter Coca-Cola bottle has 0.4 euro deposit in the price when you buy it. You get the money back if you return the bottle to the store.
Ck47 (China)
I doubt whether it will achieve expected results, but things will improve for sure. Some people will start to put garbage in different bins and realize the importance of classifying garbage, but some will not do it as they are told, because it’s such a trouble. I am all for it though. It’s a good cause and with our efforts we will make it a nice planet for our kids.
【1】What does Bushier think is most important in sorting garbage?
A．Education.
B．Money.
C．Technology.
D．Workers.
【2】What is Finland’s way to recycle bottles?
A．Give you a big fine if fail to do so.
B．Give money back if you recycle the bottle.
C．Give you a reward if you recycle the bottle.
D．Give you extra goods if you recycle the bottle.
【3】What is the purpose of the text?
A．To educate.
B．To advertise.
C．To introduce.
D．To instruct.
