23、A team led by Professor Theoder Berger, from the University of Southern California, can now manipulate(操纵) brain cells in rats so that memories stored in the hippocampus, a brain area crucial for memory formation, are activated or suppressed(抑制). It’s said that the technology could one day have medical applications.

In the study, researcher first trained rats to remember which of two levers(杠杆) they pressed first, then to press the other lever.

As the rats performed the task, the scientists carefully monitored the electrical activity in each creature’s hippocampus to find the pattern of nerve-cell activity involved in making a solid memory.

Using the same glass needles they had used to record the nerve activity, they stimulated (刺激) nerves in the same pattern and found that the animals’ performance in the task got even better. The rats made fewer errors and were able to remember which lever was the“correct”one for a longer period of time.

The scientists went a step further and suppressed the rats’ memories with a drug called Mk801, which caused them to forget their task. When the animals’ brain cells were later stimulated with the“correct”pattern, they remembered again which lever to press.

“What’s really exciting about this study is that when they played back the‘good’ patterns—the patterns when the animal got the task right—it did appear to improve memory,”said Dean Buonomano, an associate professor at the University of California.

The final goal, Berger said, is to help people with stroke(中风) and epilepsy(癫痫症) and the like strengthen memories and to help doctors treat them. The technology might even help sufferers of post-traumatic(创伤后) stress disorder.

But first, researchers would have to show that they can stimulate or suppress far more complex memories than the ones in the rat experiment.

“Here ,it’s a simple task,”Buonomano said. In contrast, humans’ memories are very rich and specific…

“We have very many steps to go before this can be achieved,”he said.

【1】How does“the technology”in Paragraph 1 act?

A.It manipulates brain cells.

B.It stores memories in the hippocampus.

C.It activates memories stored in the brain.

D.It suppresses memories stored in the brain.

【2】.In what order did the researchers conduct the rat experiment?

a.Monitor the electrical activity in the rat’s hippocampus.

b.Suppress the rat’s memory with a drug called MK801.

c.Stimulate the rat’s nerves in the same pattern.

d.Stimulate the rat’s nerves in the same pattern for a second time.

e.Train the rats to remember the order of the two levers they pressed.

A.a, e, b, c, d B.a, e, c, d, b

C.e, a, c, d, b  D.e, a, c, b, d

【3】When their nerves were stimulated, the rats   .

A.forgot their task

B.completed the task better

C.made no errors in their task

D.remembered which lever they had pressed for a shorter time

【4】What can we infer from the article?

A.MK801 is a drug that can be used to stimulate nerves.

B.The study is expected to be used to help stroke and epilepsy patients recover completely.

C.Using the study to improve humans’ memories still face many challenges.

D.Researchers have studied far more complex memories than the ones in the rat experiment.

24、“It’s really a breakthrough,” said British scientist Guillem about the discovery of a planet “more or less” like Earth that is orbiting Proxima Centauri, the star nearest to our solar system.

Proxima b, or “Earth II”as you could call it , is a lttle bigger than our Earth, and its years only take 11days. Also, since it is so much closer to its red dwarf (矮小的) star than we are to the sun, the sky on its world is orange without any blue at all, creating a forever sunset effect.

There are a lot of questions for life forms that could live on this new planet. As the Chicago Tribune wrote: “Do you have poetry? Superheroes? Television? Diets? Mean bosses? Do you have any interest in visiting other worlds? If so, put Earth on your Must See list. ”

The discovery of the planet made us wonder if anyone had seen or heard of the space postcards from Pioneer 10 and Pioneer 11space probes (探测器), sent up into space in 1972 and the next year. Together with the probes were pictures of a man and a woman, along with diagrams of the solar system. Gold records were sent up into space on Voyager probes in 1977. If aliens (外星人) on Proxima b had played the record , they would have found human voices and pictures that showed the rich diversity of Earth.

It might not be time to plan a visit to Proxima b just yet—even if it has an atmosphere—as first , we would need to invent a way to get there in less than the 78,000 years it would take at 36,000 mph. “Proxima b looks to us like a promising Plan(et) B, just in case things go really south on this blue planet. ” the Chicago Tribune wrote.

【1】What do we know about Proxima b?

A. It has an orange sky.

B. It is closer to the sun.

C. It has no sunrise.

D. It is as large as Earth.

【2】What could be found on the gold records sent up by Voyager probes in 1977?

A. Pictures of a couple.

B. Maps of the solar system.

C. Recorded sounds.

D. Several postcards.

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

A. Earth moves to the south.

B. Proxima b gets closer to Earth.

C. Situation changes favorably.

D. Conditions on Earth get worse.

【4】What was the attitude of the Chicago Tribune towards the discovery of the planet?

A. Excited.

B. Worried.

C. Uninterested.

D. Proud.

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。

I sat in the chair in our living room, staring at my parents, who had just given me the news that my hero, best friend and grandpa, had Alzheimer’s (阿尔茨海默病). I did not want to believe it. Alzheimer’s would slowly rob my grandpa of his intellect and his social abilities severely enough to interfere with daily functioning. It has no known cure.

The thought of that happening to my grandpa scared me. How could someone who I love so much and who lived such a great life slowly lose his memories of everything around him? All I could do was cry and think of all the sweet times we used to have.

“Grandpa! I call, as I run at full speed into his arms just like every Sunday afternoon before. He opens his arms and braces for the leap. He is a strong man with welcoming eyes and never ending love. I am about six years old, and we have carried on this tradition every Sunday since I could walk. It is something I look forward to when Mom says “Get ready we are going to Grandpa’s.”

As we head inside the house, I smell the sweet smell of Grandma’s cooking. Grandpa puts his arms around me and gives me a tight squeeze that is all too familiar. Since my dad works a second shift job and someone needs to watch me, Grandpa is like a second father and we have a deep connection. “I love you, Grandpa,” I say. “I love you too, my pretty Morgan,” he replies.

The dinner table is not just a place where we eat a good meal but also a place where we laugh together. We talk about the things that have happened since our last encounter and share stories of the past. Then comes my favorite part of any meal---dessert which Grandpa and I share an equal love. As always, Grandpa heads to the kitchen and I close my eyes, put my arms across my chest and wait. Being the curious kid that I am, I ask when he is coming back at least five times. He uses that to teach me patience. We share a moment no one else would understand.

Memories washed over me. As I came back to the present and reality, my eyes were watery. I rushed to his home to see him.

注意:1.续写的词数应为150 左右;

2.请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。

I am sitting across from him at the table.
