21、Whether it’s a cup of coffee, a cup of hot tea, or a bottle of soda, consuming caffeine (咖啡因) is a good choice for millions who want to wake up or stay up. Now, researchers at Johns Hopkins University have found its another use: improving our memory.

“We’ve always known that caffeine has effects on raising cognitive (认知的) abilities, but its particular effect on strengthening memory has never been proved,” said Michael Yassa, one of the scientists of the research team.

The researchers conducted a double-blind trial in which participants who did not regularly eat or drink products consisting of caffeine received either a placebo (安慰剂) or a caffeine pill five minutes after studying a series of pictures. The next day, both groups were tested on their ability to recognize pictures from the previous day’s study session. On the test, some of the pictures were the same as those from the day before, and some were new additions which were similar but not the same.

More members of the caffeine group were able to correctly identify the new pictures as “similar” to previously viewed pictures rather than mistakenly see them as the same. The brain’s ability to recognize the difference between two similar but not the same items reflected better memory, the researchers said.

“If we used a standard recognition memory task without these similar items, we would have found no effect of caffeine,” Yassa said. “However, using these items requires the brain to make a more difficult discrimination — what we call pattern separation, which seems to be the process that is improved by caffeine in our case.”

“Almost all the previous studies distributed caffeine before the study session, so if there is an improvement, it’s not clear whether it’s due to caffeine’s effects on attention, focus, or other factors,” Yassa said. “By offering caffeine after the study session, we rule out all of these effects and make sure that if there is an improvement, it's due to memory and nothing else.”

【1】Which paragraph mainly tells the process of the experiment in detail？

A．Paragraph 2.

B．Paragraph 3.

C．Paragraph 4.

D．Paragraph 5.

【2】Why did the researchers use similar pictures？

A．To measure participants’ attention.

B．To test participants’ ability to learn.

C．To add the difficulty of discrimination.

D．To further explain pattern separation.

【3】How is this experiment different from the previous ones？

A．Participants had few coffee drinking experiences.

B．Participants were forced to drink stronger coffee.

C．Participants studied the pictures after a long break.

D．Participants took in caffeine after studying the pictures.

【4】The purpose of the experiment is to prove caffeine ________．

A．helps people stay energetic

B．strengthens learning ability

C．does harm to cognitive abilities

D．has a positive effect on memory

22、Green exercise is a term used to describe any type of physical exercise that takes place in a natural environment, rather than in a health club or gym.【1】Instead, it relies on the use of natural means of taking part in activities that improve strength and endurance with as little reliance on equipment as possible.

【2】For example, some consider a truly natural exercise experience requires that the individual wear clothing only made from natural fibers. Others consider barefoot (赤脚的) running or walking would be greener and thus be more desirable than running or walking with shoes.

A slightly different approach to green exercise puts more stress on fresh air, sunshine, and involvement with the natural world, rather than the equipment or clothing【3】In like manner, climbing a mountain using standard used during the exercise. equipment and protective clothing would also be considered green exercise.

Many consider green exercise helps to reconnect human beings with the natural world. The interaction with nature helps to lower people’s blood pressure, refresh their mind, and actually improve their self-esteem (自尊).【4】

Not everyone believes that green exercise is more beneficial than working out in a health club or gym.【5】Meanwhile, the use of fitness devices may result in more challenging workouts, which help strengthen the heart and lungs in ways that more simplistic exercise in a natural setting would be difficult to manage.

A．Spirits are also believed to be positively affected.

B．A green gym uses as little equipment as possible.

C．All forms of green exercise are good for you.

D．Opinions on what truly green exercise means differ.

E．Besides, it usually doesn’t use fitness equipment that is normally found in a gym.

F．So riding a bicycle in a forest can be called a type of green exercise.

G．Some point out that many health clubs are constructed to make full use of natural light.

23、Jerry was the kind of guy who was always in a good mood and always said something positive. One day I asked him,“I don’t get it! You can’t be a positive person all of the time. How do you do it?” Jerry replied,“Each morning I wake up and say to myself, ‘Jerry, you have two choices. To be in a good mood or bad mood.’ I choose the former.”

“Yeah, right, it’s not that easy” I protested.

“Yes it is.” Jerry said. “Life is all about choices. You choose how you react to situations. You choose how people will affect your mood. You choose to be in a good mood or bad mood. It’s your choice how you live life.”

Soon thereafter, I changed my job. We lost touch. Several years later, I heard that Jerry was robbed and was shot. I saw Jerry about six months after the accident. When I asked him how he was, he replied,“Really good.” I asked him what had gone through his mind when he was taken to the hospital. Jerry replied,“I remembered I had two choices: I could choose to live, or die. I chose to live. The nurses kept telling me I was going to be fine. But when they wheeled me into the emergency room and the expressions on the faces of the doctors and nurses scared me. In their eyes, I read, ‘He’s a dead man.’ I knew I needed to take action.”

“What did you do?” I asked.

“Well, a nurse asked if I was allergic to anything,”said Jerry.

“Yes” I replied.

“The doctors and nurses were waiting for my reply…I took a deep breath and yelled, ‘Bullets!’   Over their laughter, I told them, ‘Operate on me as if I am alive, not dead.’” Jerry lived thanks to the skill of his doctors, but also because of his amazing attitude.

25、   Girls are better at reading and writing than boys as early as fourth grade, according to a study, and the gap continues to widen until senior year.

Scientists generally agree that boys and girls are psychologically more alike than they are different. But reading seems to be a(n) _________, with growing evidence suggesting a similar _________ in writing. The study, published in the journal American Psychologist, provided further _________ to support this view.

David Reilly, lead author of the study, said the study _________ the commonly held view that boys and girls start grade school with the same cognitive abilities. “It appears that the gender gap for writing tasks has been greatly _________, and despite our best efforts with changes in teaching methods, that does not appear to be _________ over time,” he said.

Factors explaining the results could include learning _________ being more prevalent among boys; the pressure to conform to masculine ideals and the idea of reading and language being _________; and slight differences in how boys and girls use their brain hemispheres (半球), the authors believe.

To investigate how _________ levels differed between boys and girls in the U.S., the team studied data collected over three decades in the National Assessment of Educational Progress. This database of test scores on over 3 million students in the fourth, eighth, and twelfth grades __________ national and state performances in a range of subjects, and considered such variables such as disabilities or whether children were English learners. Reading and writing was __________ according to children’s understanding of a range of different passages and genres.

__________, girls were found to perform significantly better in reading and writing tests by fourth grade when compared with boys of the same age. As children progressed to eighth and twelfth grades, girls continued to __________ boys, but the difference was more noticeable in writing than reading. But what caused this difference in abilities? Evidence suggests __________ problems, such as being disruptive in class or being aggressive could be linked to neurological conditions. What is known as lateralization (偏侧化) could also play a role. Boys are believed to use one hemisphere when reading or writing, while girls appear to use both. The data did not, however, provide evidence to argue __________ the two genders having different learning styles.
