(2014·福建省高三九校第二次联考)
Many people think of the brain as a mystery.They don’t know much about intelligence and how it works.When they do think about what intelligence is，many people believe that a person is born smart，average，or dumb—and stays that way in the whole life.But new research shows that the brain is more like a muscle—it changes and gets stronger when you use it.And scientists have been able to show just how the brain grows and gets stronger when you learn.
Everyone knows that when you lift weights，your muscles get bigger and you get stronger.A person who can’t lift 20 pounds when he/she starts exercising can get strong enough to lift 100 pounds after working out for a long time.That’s because the muscles become larger and stronger with exercise.And when you stop exercising，the muscles shrink and you get weaker.That’s why people say “Use it or lose it！”
But most people don’t know that when they practice and learn new things，parts of their brain change and get larger a lot like muscles do when they exercise.Inside the cortex (皮层) of the brain are billions of tiny nerve cells，called neurons.The nerve cells have branches connecting them to other cells in a complicated network.Communication between these brain cells is what allows us to think and solve problems.When you learn new things，these tiny connections in the brain actually multiply and get stronger.The more you challenge your mind to learn，the more your brain cells grow.Then，things that you once found very hard or even impossible to do—like speaking a foreign language or doing algebra (代数)—seem to become easy after learning them for a period of time.The result is a stronger，smarter brain.
Scientists started thinking that the human brain could develop and change when they studied animals’ brains.They found out that animals that lived in a challenging environment were more “perspicacious” —they were better at solving problems and learning new things.
1．According to the first paragraph，________.
A．the function of our brain is like that of the muscle B．until now it’s impossible to explain the brain’s mystery C．many people believe one’s intelligence is naturally determined D．one’s brain grows stronger as the age increases 2．Training muscles is compared to________. A．using the brain
3
B．connecting things in your brain C．lifting weights
D．doing research about the brain 3．What is Paragraph 3 mainly about? A. The complex structure of the brain.
B．How changes in the muscles affect the brain. C．The importance of the brain.
D．How the brain becomes stronger by learning new things.
4．What does the underlined word “perspicacious” in the last paragraph probably mean?
A．Strong. C．Popular.
B．Smart. D．Active. B
(2014·贵阳市高三适应性监测二)
Much meaning can be conveyed clearly with our eyes，so it is often said that eyes can speak.
Do you have such kind of experience？In a bus you may look at a stranger，but not too long.And if he is sensing that he is being stared at，he may feel uncomfortable.It’s the same in daily life.If you are looked at for more than necessary，you will look at yourself up and down，to see if there is anything wrong with you If nothing goes wrong，you will feel angry toward other’s stare at you that way.Eyes do speak，right?
Looking too long at someone may seem to be rude and aggressive.But things are different when it comes to stare at the opposite sex.If a man glances at a woman for more than 10 seconds and refuses to turn away his gaze，his intentions are obvious，that is，he wishes to attract her attention，to make her understand that he is admiring her.
However，the normal eye contact for two people engaged in conversation is that the speaker will only look at the listener from time to time，in order to make sure that the listener does pay attention to what the other is speaking，to tell him that he is attentive.
If a speaker looks at you continuously when speaking，as if he tries to dominate (支配) you，you will feel embarrassed.A poor liar (说谎者) usually exposes himself by looking too long at the victim，since he believes in the false idea that to look
4
straight in the eye is a sign of honest communication.Quite the contrary.
In fact，continuous eye contact is confined (局限于) to lovers only，who will enjoy looking at each other tenderly for a long time，to show affection that words cannot express.
Evidently，eye contact should be done according to the relationship between two people and the specific situation.
5．What does the second paragraph suggest?
A．Looking at a stranger continuously is necessary. B．Looking at a stranger continuously is not polite. C．Something happens in our eyes. D．Strangers should avoid eye contact.
6．The underlined word “gaze” in the third paragraph probably means________. A．attraction C．head
B．attention D．eyes
7．Continuous eye contact is proper between________. A．lovers C．victims
B．strangers D．liars
8．What would be discussed in the following? A．The importance of eye contact. B．Eye contact should be continuous. C．Enjoying yourself in conversation. D．Eye contact in related occasions.
