22、The next time your brain refuses to recall a simple fact or name, be thankful. That could be a sign that your brain is getting rid of unnecessary information so that it can operate more efficiently, and help you make better decisions.
The researchers say there are numerous neurobiological(神经生物学的)studies conducted on how the brain stores information, a process called persistence (暂留). However, scientists also assumed that our occasional inability to recall facts was due to a are an the brain. In 2013, scientists discovered that as new neurons combine with the hippocampus(海马区)----a region of the brain that plays a significant role in learning and remembering---they overwrite old memories, making them harder to access. There is also evidence that the brain weakens or removes connections between neurons, in which memories are encoded.
The scientists have a theory on why the brain spends so much energy erasing memories. They say what the brain decides to forget is determined by our daily life. An example is that our brains remember phone numbers according to the need. Instead of storing this irrelevant information that our phones can store for us, our brains are freed up to store the memories that actually do matter for us. They also believe that memorizing too much detail could prevent us from making good decisions.
So the next time you are unable to recall a seemingly important fact, don’t be hard on yourself. Just throw it to your brain’s “rubbish can” to make room for information that can contribute to making you smarter! Remember, even Albert Einstein was absent-minded!
【1】What can we know from the first two paragraphs?
A. Persistence is not a process to store information
B. Once information is stored in the brain, it will last forever
C. Learning and memorizing take place in the hippocampus
D. New neurons will strengthen old memories
【2】The brain has to erase memories to __________.
A. recall important information
B. store more important information
C. store detail
D. remember phone numbers
【3】If some unimportant information is stored, it will be _________.
A. combined with the hippocampus
B. processed and memorized permanently
C. stored and decoded immediately
D. removed and forgotten soon
【4】What is the best title of the passage?
A. Scientists encourage us to forget things
B. The way our brains memorize and encode
C. Forgetting things may make you smarter
D. Why was Albert Einstein absent-minded?
23、（题文）The Intelligent Transport team at Newcastle University have turned an electric car into a mobile laboratory named ＂DriveLAB＂ in order to understand the challenges faced by older drivers and to discover where the key stress points are.
Research shows that giving up driving is one of the key reasons for a fall in health and well-being among older people, leading to them becoming more isolated(隔绝) and inactive.
Led by Professor Phil Blythe, the Newcastle team are developing in-vehicle technologies for older drivers which they hope could help them to continue driving into later life.
These include custom-made navigation(导航) tools, night vision systems and intelligent speed adaptations. Phil Blythe explains: ＂For many older people, particularly those living alone or in the country, driving is important for preserving their independence, giving them the freedom to get out and about without having to rely on others.＂
＂But we all have to accept that as we get older our reactions slow down and this often results in people avoiding any potentially challenging driving conditions and losing confidence in their driving skills. The result is that people stop driving before they really need to.＂
Dr Amy Guo, the leading researcher on the older driver study, explains: ＂The DriveLAB is helping us to understand what the key points and difficulties are for older drivers and how we might use technology to address these problems.
＂For example, most of us would expect older drivers always go slower than everyone else but surprisingly, we found that in 30mph zones they struggled to keep at a constant speed and so were more likely to break the speed limit and be at risk of getting fined. We’re looking at the benefits of systems which control their speed as a way of preventing that. ＂
＂We hope that our work will help with technological solutions(解决方案) to ensure that older drivers stay safer behind the wheel.
What is the best title for the text?
A. A new Model Electric Car
B. A Solution to Traffic Problems
C. Driving Services for Elders
D. Keeping Older Drivers on the Road
24、 When my grandmother died at the age of 96, there were two things she left behind in abundance---nearly 100 photo albums documenting decades of travel and home life, and a dozen quilts, one of which my mother gave me.
Quilting is the process of sewing together fabric(作料)to make one large piece of fabric. In my family，quilting and sewing is a tradition that has been passed down through the generations. My mother says her great-grandmother would occasionally travel around New York State to sew clothing for other families.
In the United States，quilting was a craft(手艺)that started as a necessity and eventually became much more. In 1862, the U.S. government offered millions of acres of land to Americans who wanted to move west. This allowed families to settle on land that that could eventually own. They often built their own homes and lived off the vegetables in their gardens and the livestock they had. Sewing was very important for women because they were responsible for clothing their families and keeping them warm.
Quilting also became a chance for women to socialize with each other.They would gather for so-called “quilting bees”，where they would meet up and work on one quilting project together. This provided a much-needed relief from the lonely life of living on a large piece of land.
Throughout history, the different patterns on American quilts have conveyed all kinds of information. From then，we can tell where a person lived，what region of the world they originated from, or sometimes a story is told in pictures on a quilt.
Even today，women still gather to quit together in a show of friendship and a love for the craft，just like the old days.My sister has tried quilting a few times，and hopefully，her two daughters may one day continue this family tradition.
【1】What do we know about quilting？
A. It is a lost traditional craft.
B. It is a major means of making a living in the USA.
C. It is a craft that has become a cultural symbol.
D. It was a way to carry on the American history.
【2】What does the author intend to do in Paragraph 3？
A. Introduce a new topic for discussion.
B. Summarize the previous paragraphs
C. Add some background information.
D. Praise the U.S.government's policy.
【3】What does the underlined word“this”in paragraph 4 refer to？
A. Working on the land.
B. Participating in“quilting bees”.
C. Designing a quilting project.
D. Clothing the family.
【4】What is the author's purpose in writing the text？
A. To instruct how to sew together fabric.
B. To show the author's skills of quilting.
C. To tell about the struggle of women.
D. To appeal for preservation of quilting.

How to Stay Healthy in Autumn
In recent days, the weather in most regions is no longer hot, and people can relax and enjoy the cool autumn. However, there is a big gap in temperature in the morning and evening, and the air is also drier. All of these factors can lead to dry mouth and nose, sore throat, dry cough, dry hair loss and other symptoms. People are more likely to get sick during the seasonal change from summer through autumn. So, here are some tips to keep you healthy and comfortable into the winter months.
Do eat watery food. According to traditional Chinese medicine, autumn corresponds to the lungs of the human body.Pay attention to wet lungs in dry weather.The most convenient and easy way to protect lungs in autumn is to drink more water. In addition, you can adopt the diet therapy of traditional Chinese medicine, eating some watery food, like pear and duck meat.
Do have easily digested food. People’s spleen (牌) and stomach functions are weakened because of the raw and cold food they had during the long, hot summer. So in autumn, you should give your spleen and stomach a rest. For example,you can choose some nutritious food that is easy to digest to eat, such as fish and red bean.
Be sure to take vitamin supplements. Vitamins play an important role in the body’s immune system. The number and vitality of immune cells are related to vitamins when the body resists foreign invasion. It is recommended that you eat plenty of fresh vegetables and fruits rich in vitamin C, such as kiwi and oranges.
Sleep is an important means for people to restore their physical strength, ensure their health and enhance their immunity. In autumn, it is suggested that you go to bed at 9 pm, or try to fall asleep before 11 o’clock. If you sleep at this time, it is great for your body and you can get a good quality of sleep.
