What happens inside the head of a soccer player who repeatedly heads a soccer ball？ That question inspired a challenging new study of the brains of experienced players that has caused discussion and debate among soccer players, and some anxiety among those of us with soccer-playing children.
For the study, researchers at the Albert Einstein College of Medicine in New York selected 34 adults，men and women. All of the volunteers had played soccer since childhood and now competed year-round in adult soccer leagues. Each filled out a detailed questionnaire developed especially for this study to determine how many times they had headed a soccer ball in the previous year, as well as whether they had experienced any known concussions（脑震荡）in the past.
第 11 页 共 11 页
Then the players completed computerized tests of their memory and other learning skills and had their brains scanned, using a complex new M.R.I. technique which can find structural changes in the brain that can’t be seen during most scans.
According to the data they presented at a Radiological Society of North America meeting last month，the researchers found that the players who had headed the ball more than about 1,100 times in the previous 12 months showed significant loss of white matter in parts of their brains involved with memory, attention and the processing of visual information, compared with players who had headed the ball fewer times.
This pattern of white matter loss is “similar to those seen in traumatic （外伤的） brain injury ”, like that after a serious concussion, the researchers reported，even though only one of these players was reported to have ever experienced a concussion.
The players who had headed the ball about 1,100 times or more in the past year were also generally worse at recalling lists of words read to them, forgetting the words far more often than players who had headed the ball less.
24. The passage is most probably a __________.
A. news report B. research report C. medicine instructions D.text for doctors
25. What was used to find the structural changes in the brain?
A. Learning skills. B. Advanced computers.
C. Special questionnaires. D. A new technique M.R.I.
26. From the passage we can conclude that frequent heading may have __________.
A. a significant effect on one’s brain B. little effect on one’s brain
C. nothing to do with the brain injury D. one’s memory improved
27. What do we know about the volunteers?
A. They were all researchers about soccer B. They had serious injury on the head.
C. They were adults who still played soccer D. They all head children who played soccer.
C
One of the main creators of the World Wide Web, Sir Tim Berners-Lee has warned that the fast growth of the Internet is also creating serious problems.
He especially warns of false information being easily spread around the Internet, "A great danger is that it becomes a place where untruths start to spread more than truths, or it becomes a place which becomes increasingly unfair in some way." In particular he mentions the phenomena of blogging. Blogging enables friends and contacts to easily spread information. However he argues that people may too easily trust information mentioned in a blog. This inaccurate information can then easily become an accepted truth on the Internet.
He suggests that the most important development of the Internet will be in creating ways of allowing people to check the correctness of information by providing original sources. Sir Tim admits that this is an important challenge. It's interesting to note that Wikipedia（维基百科）has had to take steps to
第 11 页 共 11 页
prevent false information being added to the biographies of living people. It's easy for anybody to edit the open source. However, some people have pointed out that it has been used to spread false materials. In seeking to raise standards, Wikipedia has sought to stop publishing the false material.
At the same time there is a growing view that the Internet has had a great effect on the way millions of people work. The last two years have seen a big growth in the use of the Internet. There appears no slow-down in the growth of the Internet with increasing access in the developing countries. Sir Tim says another major challenge will be to provide free Internet for everybody. Sir Tim was recently launching a new joint initiative（倡议）between Southampton University and the Massachusetts Institute of Technology to create the first degree in Web science. The two schools hope to raise the standards of web content.
28. What is the especially serious problem that Sir Tim refers to?
A. The growth of the Internet is too fast.
B. The Internet has a side effect on young children.
C. The false information spreads rapidly on the Internet.
D. The Internet companies compete against each other in an unfair way.
29. What causes the biographies to have false information?
A. Anybody can easily edit the biographies.
B. Wikipedia doesn't take any steps.
C. The Internet users refuse other users to correct it.
D. Wikipedia attempts to publish false materials.
30.According to the last paragraph, the purpose of the joint initiative is to_________.
A. enlarge the use of the Internet
B. create the first degree in science and technology
C. provide free Internet access to the poor countries
D. improve the reliability of online content
31. We can learn from the text that __________.
A. Sir Tim has built two schools recently
B. Sir Tim hopes everyone can use the Internet for free
C. the Internet is harmful to the people's health
D. the Internet develops slowly in the developing countries
D
Last week, two companies, Kitty Hawk and Uber, announced their plans to bring flying cars to reality very soon.
Imagine never having to worry about traffic, stop lights, or road construction. A flying car would get to a place much faster than one travelling by road. On the other hand, imagine having to avoid drones (无人驾驶飞机) and other flying cars. Also, what if your battery dies when you are in the air? And, how will you know where to land?
第 11 页 共 11 页
Kitty Hawk is a start-up tech company supported by Google co-founder, Larry Page. According to the Kitty Hawk website, its car will be able to travel at speeds up to 40 kilometers an hour in the air. It says under US aviation law such a machine “does not require registration or a pilot’s license and may be flown in uncrowded areas for recreational（消遣的） purposes.” As of now, the car can only be flown over fresh water.
Kitty Hawk is making a list of people interested in buying the flying car. They must pay a deposit of US$100. Those who get their names on the list early will receive US$2, 000 off the final cost of the car. However, Kitty Hawk has not yet announced the price. Kitty Hawk expects its first flying cars will go on sale by the end of this year.
At a conference last week, Uber announced plans for flying taxis to begin carrying passengers. Unlike the Kitty Hawk company, Uber does not plan to build its flying cars. Instead, it will use the resources of partner companies.
Like the Kitty Hawk car, Uber flying taxis will use electric power. Uber says its flying taxis could travel up to 241 kilometers an hour. The company said that could reduce the travel time between San Francisco and San Jose, California from two hours on the road to 15 minutes in the air.
Riders could use the Uber app to book a flying taxi to take them to their destinations. The company has not yet said how costly air taxi travel would be compared to road taxi travel.
32. What could the main problems for flying cars be?
A. There is not enough space for them to land.
B. They may hit other flying cars or have a dead battery in the sky.
C. Sky transportation would cause more traffic jams.
D. They travel much more slowly than travelling by road.
33. According to the passage, the pilots of flying cars .
A. must be professional pilots
B. are not required to have a pilot’s license
C. are required to fly in crowded space
D. are only allowed to fly in urgent situations
34. What is Kitty Hawk doing to attract customers?
A. Offering a discount to those paying a deposit early.
B. Giving rewards to those visiting its website.
C. Advertising its first flying cars on public media.
D. Reducing the price for all customers.
35. What is the difference between Uber and Kitty Hawk in the flying car market?
A. Uber’s flying taxis will use electric power.
B. Uber intends to build its flying cars to fly very fast.
C. The trips made by Uber’s flying taxis are much cheaper than road taxis.
D. Uber prefers to use the resources of partners rather than build its flying cars.

How to Love Your Parents
Even if you think that your parents are mean-spirited at times, loving your parents is a normal and fulfilling part of life. You love them for the fact that they created you, raised you, and are in part, a source of who you are. Here are some ways to love your parents.
36 . A gentle “good morning” and “I love you” will warm a coldest heart. Remember that they brought you into this world. Without your parents, we might still wander at an unknown corner in an unknown world.
Respect them more and cherish these moments. You can use these moments to learn from them, preparing yourself for when you’re off on your own. It’s OK to get angry but angry actions don’t help you or your parents. Act calmly, cool off, write down your feelings, or talk to a friend. 37
Obey their requests. It will make your attitude better and earn you more respect from them. It may seem like you are going through hell when you don’t get what you want or you have to clean. However, you had better remember they keep a roof over your head when it’s cold, raining, snowing, or too hot. Understand that parents are human beings and make mistakes. 38 Since you can forgive your friends, why not forgive your parents?
Keep company with them. Do things with your parents like watching TV, or go somewhere with them. 39 Listen to their old stories and learn from them. You will find they are your teachers in this way or another.
Some people simply may not be able to love their parents. 40 Seek help if you are being abused in any way. Parents do not have a right to harm you.
A. Forgiveness is the key.
B. Parents will in turn express their love to you.
C. Tell them you love them every morning.
D. After this, share your feelings with your parents.
E. Please remember parents are not so important as friends.

Saving the Endangered Animals
As is known to everyone, animals are our friends and enjoy the equal right to live happily on earth. However, more than 12,000 species are in danger of extinction.
There are several reasons for this. The habitats of some animals are disappearing because of pollution and climate change. For example, the global warming melts the ice of the North Pole, endangering the polar bear. Besides, many animals are killed for their body parts. For instance, the Tibetan antelopes are killed because their wool can be made into shawls ,which can bring huge profits.
Fortunately, the governments have set up nature reserves and introduced bans on such illegal trade. Police are getting tough with poachers and dealers. But it’s also common people’s responsibility to protect them. To avoid more damage to the environment we should live in an environment friendly way. Never buy products made from body parts of endangered animals and tell more people about the situations of the animals. Only when everyone is involved will we save them from extinction.
