21、 Award winning film Ballad from Tibet by Chinese director Zhang Wei was screened in New York City in March.
The film tells the story of four visually impaired kids from China’s Tibet going on a journey for their dreams.
Based on a true story, Ballad from Tibet is about the four Tibetan kids — Thupten, Sonam, Kelsang and Droma — achieving their dreams against all odds.
Thupten is a 10-year-old boy partially sighted in one eye and blind in the other. His doctor says that there is a chance that he could completely lose his sight, but there is an operation that could offer a 50 percent of saving his vision.
His teacher firmly suggests that he should have the operation right away, but Thupten is afraid and wants to see the world before his life is plunged into total darkness.
Along with his three friends who also suffer from blindness, Thupten goes on an exciting adventure. Together they decide to go to Shenzhen in South China’s Guangdong Province, a city more than 37,000km away from Tibetan capital Lhasa.
The reason for the children’s decision to go to Shenzhen is their love of music. They are all talented and want to sing their hearts out in front of the national audience by participating in a Shenzhen - based reality show.
The foursome’s trip is indeed fun, but also turns out to be dangerous. Luckily, help is on hand along the way in the form of a wandering family, a shepherd, a motorcycle club, and a TV producer’s assistant.
Ballad from Tibet has won the award for Best Children’s Feature at the 13th China International Children’s Film Festival in November 2017, and earned nominations at 17 different international children’s film festivals in Germany, Canada, Japan, Greece, Australia and India.
【1】What does the underlined word “impaired” in Paragraph 2 mean?
A.Amazed. B.Strengthened. C.Shortsighted. D.Damaged.
【2】Why do the four children in Ballad from Tibet choose Shenzhen as their destination?
A.They want to take part in a Shenzhen - based reality show.
B.They long to earn money there to support themselves.
C.The teacher advises them to go there to pursue their dreams.
D.They want to look for their parents there.
【3】Which of the following statements is true?
A.The operation can completely save Thupten’s vision.
B.Thupten’s teacher goes on the trip with them.
C.Thupten wants to realize his dream before he totally loses his vision.

22、 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.
23、阅读下列短文 ，从每题所给的四个选项 （A、B、C、和D）中 ，选出最佳选项。
Could your cellphone give you cancer? Whether it could or not, some people are worrying about the possibility that phones, power lines and wi-fi could be responsible for a range of illnesses, from rashes to brain tumors.
Some say there is evidence to support the growing anxieties. David Carpenter, a professor of environmental health sciences at the university at Albany, in New York, thinks there’s a greater than 95 percent chance that power lines can cause childhood leukemia (白血病). Also there’s a greater than 90 percent chance that cellphones can cause brain tumors. “It’s apparent now that there’s a real risk,” said Carpenter.
But others believe these concerns are unjustified. Dr Martha Linet, the head of radiation epidemiology(流行病学) at the US National Cancer Institute, has looked at the same research as Carpenter but has reached a different conclusion. “I don’t support warning labels for cellphones, ” said Linet. “We don’t have the evidence that there’s much danger.”
Studies so far suggest a weak connection between EMFs (电磁场) and illness — so weak that it might not exist at all. A multinational investigation of cellphones and brain cancer, in 13 countries outside the US, has been underway for several years. It’s funded in part by the European Union, in part by a cellphone industry group. The final report should come out later this year, but data so far don’t suggest a strong link between cellphone use and cancer risk.
【1】From the passage we can learn that some people are worried because ________.
A．they have evidence that the use of cellphones can lead to cancer
B．they make a fuss over cellphone use
C．some experts have given a warning
D．cellphones are responsible for brain tumors
【2】By saying “I don’t support warning labels for cellphones,” Dr Martha Linet has the idea that ________.
A．the worrying is unnecessary
B．cancer-warning labels should be on cellphones
C．there is a link between cellphones and cancer
D．cellphones have nothing to do with cancer
【3】Which of the following best describes the attitude of the author towards the debate?
A．Optimistic.
B．Objective.
C．Opposite.
D．Casual.
【4】What’s the best title of the passage?
A．Cellphones: is there a cancer link?
B．There is a link between cellphone and cancer
C．A research on the cellphone
D．The cellphone and radiation epidemiology
24、Making predictions gets in the way of the brain's ability to remember the present moment, new research suggests. The hippocampus, a brain structure usually associated with remembering events, also uses experiences to make forecasts (neuroscientists call this “statistical learning”). But scientists writing in the Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences USA have now demonstrated that the latter function can influence the former.
Researchers showed participants a series of photographs on a screen without telling them that some image categories always followed others: mountains always came immediately after beaches, for example. They were intended to subconsciously learn these associations and begin to expect these pairings. Later, the participants were shown the same photos again, mixed in with new examples, and were asked if they had spotted any of them before. They accurately recalled seeing random images at a much better rate than the predictive ones (like the beach pictures).
The scientists repeated this process while scanning participants' brains with fMRI (功能性核磁共振). Each image category caused a distinct neural (神经的) activity pattern, and the patterns for predictable categories were seen in the hippocampus when the corresponding predictive category was displayed. Moreover, this effect's strength in fMRI corresponded inversely with participants' memory task scores. “The more evidence for prediction we saw, the worse their memory was for those predictive items,” such as a particular beach scene, says study lead author and Yale University cognitive (认知) neuroscientist Brynn Sherman. This suggests that predictive images caused the hippocampus to shift toward prediction—and away from encoding (编码) a new memory.
The study is among the first to demonstrate how making predictions affects human memory. Scientists previously suspected that the hippocampus had a role in statistical learning but did not know how it interacts with memory formation. “This paper is a really nice demonstration of the balance where the hippocampus is doing both these things,” says University of Virginia cognitive neuroscientist Nicole Long.
The team says this compromise occurs because remembering and predicting both use some of the same biological pathways. In the paper, the authors compare it with using one's right foot to operate both the brake (刹车) and gas pedals (油门) in a car…but not both at the same time. “This system could prevent memory redundancies (冗余) and thus conserve brainpower,” Sherman says.
“We still need further research,” Long says. “For instance, how much repetition is needed before the hippocampus shifts from recording to predicting and whether it is possible to train the structure to improve both modes at the same time.”
【1】We can learn from the passage that ______.
A．predictive images stimulated memory formation
B．the hippocampus has nothing to do with predicting
C．researchers revealed how to balance predicting and remembering
D．the participants remembered random images more quickly and accurately
【2】What does the underlined word “inversely” in Paragraph 3 probably mean?
A．In an opposite way.
B．Exactly.
C．In the same direction.
D．Closely.
【3】Why does the author mention the brake and gas pedals?
A．To present an accurate picture of how to drive a car.
B．To illustrate that predicting interacts with remembering.
C．To stress the difficulties of operating them at the same time.
D．To show the importance of using the same biological pathways.
【4】Which would be the best title for this passage?
A．The Role of the Hippocampus within Memory
B．Predicting a Situation Benefits Memory Formation
C．Forecast or Remember: The Brain Must Choose One
D．Forecast and Remember: The Brain Can Do Both at the Same Time
