Modern humans have a hard time controlling their desire to eat. Often you eat not because you
are hungry，but because you are affected by many other things. How much you eat is strongly affected
by how much those around you eat.People eating alone eat least. People eating with one other person
eat 35 percent more than they do at home. People dining in a party of four eat 75 percent more .Eating
with overweight friends ？ You’ll eat more. Is your waitress overweight ？ You’ll eat more. Wide
variety of food？You’ll eat more.
Plates can decide how sweet dessert tastes. If people ate it off a paper plate，they’d say，“This is
good.” If they ate it off a fancy silver plate，they would say，“This is the greatest cake I’ve eaten in my
entire life.”
Your knowledge about what makes food good or bad also affects how much you eat. You tend to
eat more when you think the food is good，and less when you think it is bad. So Grandma’s cookies
always taste better than other cookies.“ Good food” even has a “health halo(光环) effect”．If we’re
eating something healthy，we feel that everything in that meal is healthy. Due to this，people often
believe that a cheese cake with a salad has fewer calories(卡路里) than the cheese cake alone. That’s
perhaps also why eating organic(有机的) food might turn you into an annoying guy. Your brain may
use anything that makes you feel good about your own morality to excuse your immoral behavior.
Food and hunger affect your judgment too. Hungry judges give more serious sentences. Kids who
don’t eat breakfast behave worse than kids who eat their breakfast. People who have low blood sugar
are more likely than the average person to have trouble concentrating and controlling their unpleasant
emotions.
24.What is mentioned as a cause of overeating?
A．Suffering from great loneliness.
B．Being served by a helpful waitress.
C．Being treated to high quality food.

A．they don’t feel hungry
B．they aren’t overweight
C．they have low blood sugar
D．they know little about food高二英语试卷第 3 页（共 5 页）

Researchers in the US say they might have discovered how to fight against and even reverse some
processes of ageing，at least in mice.Injecting the blood of young mice into the older ones improved
their brainpower，a study found.Scientists at Stanford University plan to carry out trials in people in
the hope that new treatments for dementia(痴呆症) can be developed.
“There are factors present in blood from young mice that can recharge an old mouse’s brain so
that it functions more like a younger one ， ” says Dr.Tony from Stanford University School of
medicine.In the study published in NatureMedicine，mice aged 18 months were given injections of the
blood taken from mice aged 3 months.The injected mice performed better on memory tests than mice
of the same age that had not been given the blood.Dr.Tony said it was not known whether the same
was true of humans，but a trial was planned.
A research center in UK said the treatment restored certain aspects of learning and memory in
mice，but was of unknown importance to humans.The research，while very interesting，did not test the
type of brain damage that was seen in dementia，which is not a necessary consequence of ageing.
Meanwhile，two similar studies by a separate team have thrown more light on how young blood
may benefit the old，in mice at least.A substance in the blood of mice previously shown to have an
antiageing effect on heart muscle also improved brain cells，according to a Harvard team.The research，
published in Science，found the blood factors encouraged the growth of brain cells in old mice，and
restored their sense of smell.The same chemical also improved muscle power of aged mice ， the
researchers found.
28．The underlined word in Paragraph 1 probably means “”．
A．change B．destroy
C．speed D．increase
29．Scientists in the US will test the discovery in humans with the aim of .
A．proving the possibility to live longer
B．showing the importance of scientific research
C．publishing the study in NatureMedicine
D．treating an agerelated disease successfully
30 ． According to the studies ， the blood from young mice benefits the old in certain ways
EXCEPT in .
A．memory B．muscle power
C．fur color D．brain cells
31．What’s the author’s attitude to the antiageing studies?
A．Supportive. (支持的) B．Objective.（客观的）
C．Negative. D．Doubtful.

Photography has been my interest ever since I was old enough to pick up a camera，but today I
want to share with you the 15 most treasured photos of mine，and I didn’t take any of them.There were
no art directors，no stylists，no chance for reshoots，not even any regard for lighting.In fact，most of
them were taken by random tourists.
My story begins when I was in New York City for a speech，and my wife took a picture of me
holding my daughter on her first birthday.We’re on the corner of the 57th and 5th avenue.We
happened to be back in New York exactly a year later，so we decided to take the same picture.
Well you can see where this is going.Approaching my daughter’s third birthday，my wife said，
“Hey，why don’t you take Sabina back to New York and make it a fatherdaughter trip，and continue
the ceremony？” This is when we started asking passing tourists to take the picture.
So these photos are far more than representatives for a single moment ， or even a specific
trip.They’re also ways for us to freeze time for one week in October and reflect on our times and how
we change from year to year，and nor just physically，but in every way.Because while we take the
same photo，our viewpoints change，and she reaches new milestones and I get to see life through her
eyes，and how she communicates with and sees everything.This very focused time we get to spend
together is something we value and expect the entire year.
32．What can we know about the author from the first paragraph?
A．He is fond of being photographed alone.
B．He hardly ever asks strangers to take pictures of him.
C．He has been interested in photography since childhood.
D．He’s proud of the 15 most treasured photos taken by himself.
33．Who came up with the idea of having a fatherdaughter trip when Sabina was 3 years old?
A．Her mother.
B．Her father.
C．Sabina herself
D．An unknown tourist.
34．It can be inferred from the last paragraph that .
A．children usually get to see life through adults’ eyes
B．the 15 photos are meaningful to the author’s family
C．it takes the author a whole week to have a family photo taken
D．the viewpoints of the author’s family never change with the time
35．What can be the best title of the text?高二英语试卷第 4 页（共 5 页）
A．Believe It or Not，Photos Do Change
B．Photos Help a Family Become Rich
C．Even Strangers Can Help Take Photographs
D．A Fatherdaughter Bond，One Photo at a Time
