21、In some ways, learning to programme a computer is similar to learning a new language. It requires learning new symbols and terms, which must be organized correctly to instruct the computer what to do. The computer code must also be clear enough that other programmers can read and understand it.

In spite of those similarities, MIT neuroscientists (神经科学家) have found that reading computer code doesn’t activate the regions of the brain that are involved in language processing. Instead, it activates a distributed network called the multiple demand network, which is also related to complex tasks such as solving maths problems or crossword puzzles.

Although reading computer code activates the multiple demand network, it appears to rely more on different parts of the network than maths or logic problems do. “Understanding computer code seems to be its own thing. It isn’t the same as language, and it isn’t the same as maths and logic,” says Anna Ivanova, an MIT graduate student and the lead author of the study.

Evelina Fedorenko is the senior author of the paper, which appears today in eLife. A major focus of her research is the relationship between language and other cognitive (认知) functions. In particular，she has been studying the question of whether other functions rely on the brain’s language network, which includes Broca’s area and other regions in the left hemisphere (半球) of the brain. In previous work, her lab has shown that music and maths don’t appear to activate this language network.

There are two schools of thought regarding how the brain learns to code, she says. One holds that in order to be good at programming，you must be good at maths. The other suggests that because of the parallels between coding and language, language skills might be more relevant. To clarify this issue, the researchers set out to study whether brain activity patterns while reading computer code would overlap (重叠) with language-related brain activity.

【1】What’s paragraph 1 mainly about?

A．The computer must be instructed what to do.

B．Programming requires new symbols and terms.

C．The computer code must be clear and understandable.

D．There are similarities between programming and language learning.

【2】What does the underlined sentence in paragraph 3 mean?

A．Reading computer code is different from other cognitive tasks.

B．Learning languages is different from learning maths or logic.

C．Language, maths and logic are relatively easier to learn.

D．Reading computer code is more challenging.

【3】What might the researchers do next?

A．Set up two schools to study how the brain learns to code.

B．Research deeper into the parallels between coding and language.

C．Figure out the relationship between programming and learning maths.

D．Compare activity patterns of reading code with those of learning language.

【4】What field can the research findings be applied to?

A．Health.

B．Commerce.

C．Education.

D．Medicine

22、From now on, never spend your precious time thinking of reasons for your failures and shortcomings. Instead, realize that the seeds of success were planted within you when you were born. Only you have the power to make those seeds grow.

The seeds, and the power to grow them, are contained in the most awesome machine ever created: the human mind. Success is a choice and not a chance. You were born a winner. You were born rich. You can be a success if only you make the right choice.

You cannot be successful without first developing your self-esteem. Your level of self-esteem is always based on the degree of control that you are able to exercise over yourself, and thus over your life. People with low self-esteem are people who do not believe that they have any power, or responsibility for their lives. They are the perennial (长期的) victims and martyrs. They are leaves tossed (摇摆) by the winds of chance blown about with any sudden change in the weather.

You can exercise control over your life only to the degree that you believe that you are responsible for everything that happens in your life. Failures think that everything happens by accident and chance. Successful people realize that they are responsible.

Everything happens as a result of something. If we can identify the cause, we can control the effect. We are responsible for what we choose to think and believe. One generally rises to the level that one expects. We are responsible for setting our expectations. Our success is dependent upon our level of confidence.

If you associate with positive-thinking people, you are definitely going to achieve success. On the contrary, the opposite happens. We are responsible for finding, planting, and nurturing the seeds that contain future victory, born from setbacks.

In short, in all areas of your life, whether they be financial, physical, emotional, or spiritual, you are responsible. Once you recognize this, accept it, and firmly believe it, you are on the road to success.

【1】People with low self-esteem are compared to leaves because they ______.

A．are ready to change their minds

B．are easily affected by windy weather

C．have the power to face their fate

D．can’t exercise control over themselves

【2】Losers would think that ______.

A．success is the result of hard work

B．working hard will lead to success

C．their failure is only because of bad luck

D．they don’t make efforts to succeed

【3】Which statement is NOT true according to the passage? ______

A．Whether we will succeed depends on our attitudes.

B．Confidence can contribute to success.

C．Thoughts and beliefs are the result of creative mind.

D．Setting our expectations is essential.

【4】The last paragraph serves as ______.

A．the proof of the author’s points

B．the conclusion of the argument

C．an introduction to another topic

D．a comparison between two views

【5】Which is the best title for the text? ______

A．Success Is a Choice

B．Be Responsible for Our Future

C．Develop Our Confidence

D．Success and Self-esteem

23、   My kids sit in Gee’s living room and respectfully lift antique Christmas ornaments (装饰品) out of a cardboard box. They giggle at Ann, who is a foreign character to them. Gee stands beside them, quietly explaining each treasure. She tells me that she and Tom built their ornament collection piece by piece. She smiles as we leave with the box.

We first met Tom and Gee in the early days of our marriage. Someone had been returning our garbage cans to the garage each garbage day, and Jim and I had wondered who. Then one day we spotted him: an elderly man who lived across the street.

I baked cookies and left them outside with a thank-you note. When we got home that day, a typed letter had replaced the gift. The letter was from Tom and explained back when he’d been fighting a war, neighbors had taken the time to handle the garbage cans for his young wife, Gee, and he never forgot. Now he paid it forward by doing the same for all of us.

A few years after we’d moved in, Tom died. We photocopied that letter and attached it to one of our own for Gee. We told her how special Tom had been to us. She wrote back and told us she still talked to Tom every day.

These days, we’re piling up boxes of our own. We’re planning a move. We know it’s time to go, and yet we can’t seem to stick the For Sale sign up on the lawn. It’s not just Gee. It’s the man who lets our kids pick peaches off the tree in his front yard. It’s the ladies who leave overflowing baskets for our kids on Easter.

Jim and I agree to wait until January. This Christmas, we’ll decorate our tree with Gee’s ornaments, out of the box labeled in Tom’s handwriting. Maybe I’ll talk to him just as Gee still does. Thank you, I’ll say. For teaching us what it means to be a neighbor.

【1】What can we infer from the first paragraph?

A. The kids thought little of these antique Christmas ornaments.

B. The kids were fond of these antique Christmas ornaments.

C. The kids were afraid of these antique Christmas ornaments.

D. The kids had no interest in these antique Christmas ornaments.

【2】Which of the following is true about Tom?

A. He fought a war from which the author suffered a lot.

B. He first met the author at her wedding.

C. He was an elderly man whose job was handling garbage cans.

D. He helped to handle his neighbors’ garbage cans secretly.

【3】What could be the best title of this passage?

A. This is what Tom did for us.

B. This is why we didn’t want to move.

C. This is what it really means to be a neighbor.

D. This is how neighbors help each other.

24、   JeffBezos has a rule at Amazon, or perhaps more appropriate a philosophy. If a team cannot be fed by two pizzas then that team is too large. The reasoning is quite straightforward and basic. More people means more communication, more bureaucracy, more chaos, and more of pretty much everything that slows things down, hence why large organizations are oftentimes considered as being so inefficient.

In 2013 Gallup released a report called “The State of The American Workplace", in which they found that smaller companies had more engaged employees. In fact,42% of employees working at companies of 10 or fewer were engaged at work versus only 30% of employees at large companies.

Most people are not familiar with the Ringelmann Effect which is the tendency for individual members to become less productive as the size of a group increases. This concept was named after Maximilien Ringelmann, a French professor of agricultural engineering who passed away in 1931.In one of his experiments he asked volunteers to perform a very simple task, to pull on a rope. He found that when only one person is pulling on the rope they give 100% of their effort; however, as more people are added the individual effort goes down.

This experiment was recreated in the 1970's by Alan Ingham who came up with the concept of “social loafing” which helps us understand why the individual effort decreases as the team size increases. So why does this happen? Because it becomes harder to extract the individual contributions and performance of each person.

Organizations should really think about what their team structures look like and create and follow similar “two pizza rules”. It's no coincidence that smaller organizations are oftentimes more nimble while large organizations look like they are stuck in the mud.

【1】What is the author's purpose of mentioning “two pizza rules” in paragraph 1?

A．To make a comment.

B．To introduce the topic.

C．To provide an example.

D．To analyze a phenomenon.

【2】What is special about the Alan Ingham's experiment?

A．It repeated the Ringelmann Effect experiment.

B．It was based on a simple task of pulling a rope.

C．It aimed to explore the reason behind the phenomenon.

D．It revealed the link between team size and individual effort.

【3】Which of the following words can replace the underlined word “nimble” in the last paragraph?

A．Balanced.

B．Complicated.

C．Simple.

D．Flexible.

【4】What can be a suitable title for the text?

A．What Makes a Team More Productive?

B．Why Are Smaller Teams Better Than Larger Ones?

C．How Can Two Pizzas Be Shared by One Team?

D．Which Is More Important: Individual Effort r Team Size?

Ships will collect the waste and bring it to land for __________ every few months. According to Slat, if all goes to plan, only 60 systems could __________ the amount of plastic there by as much as 50 percent by 2025.

__________, there remains a problem: what will happen to the plastic brought back to shore from Slats systems? It’s likely that lots of the waste will __________ be recycled into more single-use plastics that end up back in the __________.

26、阅读下面材料，然后按要求写一篇150词左右的英语短文。

A set of textbooks designed to help high school students learn about traditional Chinese culture is to be published soon Beijing Times reported on Monday.

The books are the first national-level works of their kind and have been developed by a working group that promotes traditional culture. They will be used by students from autumn this year the report said.

The set contains four classics from ancient times. Two of the works Confucian Analects and Mencius are for 10 th -grade students while the other two Great Learning and Dao De Jing will be used by 11 th graders.

The initiative follows a series of steps the authorities have taken in recent years to spread and promote traditional Chinese culture on campus.

Last April the Ministry of Education released a series of guidelines requiring the inclusion of more information about traditional culture in primary and middle school textbooks especially those used for subjects such as Chinese language history art and physical education.

The guidelines said students’ knowledge of traditional culture will be tested in the senior high school entrance examination and the gaokao --- the college entrance exam.
