21、Linking a word to brain areas responsible for movement strengthens the memory of its meaning. This is the conclusion a research team reached after using electric pulses to purposefully disrupt these areas in language learners. “Our results provide neuroscientific(神经科学) evidence for why learning techniques that involve the body’s motor system should be used more often,” neuroscientist Brian Mathias said in a news release.
As Mathias and his colleagues describe in the Journal of Neuroscience, they had 22 German-speaking adults learn a total of 90 invented artificial words (such as “lamube” for “ camera,” and “atesi” for “thought”) over four days. While the test subjects first heard the new vocabulary, they were simultaneously shown a video of a person making a gesture that matched the meaning of the word. When the word was repeated, the subjects performed the gesture themselves.
Five months later, they were asked to translate the vocabulary they had learned into German in a multiple-choice test. At the same time, they had an equipment attached to their heads that sent weak electric pulses to their motor cortex (运动皮层) — the brain area that controls voluntary arm movements. When these interfering signals were active, the subjects found it harder to recall the words accompanied by gestures. When the device sent no interfering signals, they found it easier to remember the words. This applied to concrete words, such as “camera”, as well as abstract ones such as “thought”.
The effect did not occur when the test subjects were only presented with matching pictures instead of gestures when learning vocabulary. But it is not only the motor component itself that promotes learning. The meaning of the gesture also contributes, as a study led by Mathias’s colleague Manuela Macedonia several years ago showed.
“I think we seldom use gesture in our classrooms,” Goldin-Meadow says. “People use it consciously, if they’re good teachers and good listeners, but we don’t necessarily bring it into the class if we don’t think about it — and it could be used more often and more effectively.”
【1】What can we learn about the research conclusion?
A．Electric pulses can disrupt some brain areas.
B．The movement has a strong influence on memory.
C．Motor system may be helpful in memorizing words.
D．Learning techniques are involved in the body’s motor system.
【2】What does the underlined word “simultaneously” in paragraph 2 mean?
A．Earlier in time.
B．At the same time.
C．A moment later.
D．Time and time again.
【3】What is the function of motor cortex in memorizing the words?
A．It makes it hard to memorize words.
B．It controls voluntary arm movements.
C．It contributes to the results of memorizing the words.
D．It makes it easier to memorize concrete words than abstract words.
【4】What does Goldin-Meadow suggest?
A．Using gestures in the class is recommended.
B．Good teachers use gestures more effectively.
C．Bringing gestures into the class is a must.
D．Good teachers always use gestures in the class.
22、Poet William Stafford once said that we are defined more by the detours(绕行路) in life than by the narrow road toward goals. I like this image. But it was quite by accident that I discovered the deep meaning of his words.
For years we made the long drive from our home in Seattle to my parents' home in Boise in nine hours. We traveled the way most people do: the fastest, shortest, easiest road, especially when I was alone with four noisy, restless kids who hate confinement(限制) and have strong opinions about everything.
Road trips felt risky，so I would drive fast, stopping only when I had to. We would stick to the freeways and arrive tired.
But then Banner, our lamb was born. He was rejected by his mama days before our planned trip to Boise. I had two choices: leave Banner with my husband, or take him with me. My husband made the decision for me.
That is how I found myself on the road with four kids, a baby lamb and nothing but my everlasting optimism to see me through. We took the country roads out of necessity. We had to stop every hour, let Banner shake out his legs and feed him. The kids chased him and one another. They'd get back in the car breathless and energized, smelling fresh from the cold air.
We explored side roads, catching grasshoppers in waist－high grass. Even if we simply looked out of the car windows at baby pigs following their mother, or fish leaping out of the water, it was better than the best ride down the freeway. Here was life. And new horizons(见识)．
We eventually arrived at my parents' doorstep astonishingly fresh and full of stories.
I grew brave with the trip back home and creative with my disciplining technique. On an empty section of road, everyone started quarreling. I stopped the car, ordered all kids out and told them to meet me up ahead. I parked my car half a mile away and read my book in sweet silence.
Some road trips are by necessity fast and straight. But that trip with Banner opened our eyes to a world available to anyone adventurous enough to wander around and made me realize that a detour may uncover the best part of journey—and the best part of yourself.

A．To give herself some time to read.
B．To order some food for them.

D．To let them cool down.
【4】What could be the best title for the passage?
A．Charm of the Detour
B．The Road to Bravery
C．Creativity out of Necessity
D．Road Trip and Country Life
23、Three Japanese tourists taking a holiday in Australia got stuck when their GPS told them they could drive from the mainland to an island，failing to mention the 15 kilometres of water and mud in between．
As they drove their hired car from Moreton Bay to nearby North Stradbroke Island，they started to notice the firm surface they were driving on giving way to the well-known bay mud．However, being confident that their GPS would direct them to a road soon，they decided to drive on，managing to travel around 500 metres before their car was up to its tires in mud．To make matters worse，the tide(潮汐)started to come in and soon forced them to seek help and abandon the vehicle．Just four hours later the car was trapped in,two metres of water—to the great amusement of onlookers on the shore and passengers on passing boats and ferries．
Yuzu Noda,21，said she was listening to the GPS and“it told us we could drive down there．It kept saying it would navigate(导航)us to a road．But we got stuck…there’s lots of mud．”She and her travel companions Tomonari Saeki，22，and Keita Osada,21，instead had to give up their plans for a day trip to the island and headed back to the Gold Coast of a lift from the RACQ tow truck(吊车)driver who was called to the trapped car．No such luck for the hired car though—after assessing the situation，no attempt was made to recover it. The students from Tokyo，who are due to return home tomorrow, said the experience would not put them off returning to Australia for another visit．Mr．Tomonari said，“It has rained every day on our six day holiday．Hopefully next time we come back it will be sunny.”

24、The world’s richest man might seem to have it all，but Bill Gates has one regret．The self-made billionaire said he felt stupid for not knowing any foreign languages．
Speaking in his third Ask Me Anything question-and-answer session for online forum Reddit(红迪网)，the Microsoft founder said that he wished he spoke French，Arabic or Chinese．
He said：“I took Latin and Greek in high school and got A's and I guess it helps my vocabulary．I keep hoping to get time to study one of these—probably French because it is the easiest．I did Duolingo for a while but didn’t keep it up．”

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。
My last morning with Jesse began like so many others. I woke him up with a song and kissed him until he giggled (咯咯地笑). It was a beautiful, sunny morning but so cold that my car was coated with a layer of frost. Jesse's father, Neil, arrived to take Jesse to school. We finalized plans to meet at Jesse's elementary school the next morning. When I turned to kiss Jesse goodbye, I saw that he'd written a note to me in the frost on the passenger-side window and door — I Love You. He stood there smiling at me.
When Neil and Jesse got to school, Neil parked the car and walked with Jesse through the front door and into the main hallway, where they hugged goodbye as usual. Jesse put his hands on Neil's shoulders. “I just want you to know it's going to be OK. I love you and Mom.” Then Jesse turned and walked away down the hall towards his first-grade classroom.
I'd been at work for about an hour when my colleague Tina sent me an instant message: “Did you hear about a shooting at a school in Newton?”
The message shocked me, but I remained calm. Even if the report were true, what were the odds that of all the schools in Newton, something like that would happen at the school that Jesse or my older son J. T. attended? Then my phone rang.
It was my friend and neighbour Diane. “Did you hear that a teacher got shot in the foot at Jesse's school?” she asked. A second later, every electronic device around me was ringing, either asking me what was going on or giving me fragments (片段) of information they’d heard. It was too much for my brain to assemble, but it seemed clear that there had been a shooting, and had definitely happened at Sandy Hook Elementary — Jesse's school.
Then Neil called, worried. “Nothing really bad could have happened, Neil. This is Sandy Hook! Jesse is fine,” I said. Neil was heading out to pick up Jesse at the Sandy Hook firehouse, which had been designated as the official meeting place for parents and students. I decided I would just go, as well in case Jesse needed comforting.
We searched all the places nearby for Jesse, but in vain.
