But when researchers tested pandas, __12__ of them did the same thing as those animals did. __13__， each panda behaved as if their __14__ in the mirror was another panda altogether. They acted as if they were __15__ by what they saw in the mirror, scratching their feet and walking __16__.‎ The __17__ of this research will help design better areas for animals in captivity (圈养). For example, onedirectional glass sometimes used in the areas may __18__ pandas to feel stressed when they see their own image in the __19__.

Many studies have shown that multitasking doesn't __1__， __2__ you child is probably proudly claiming they can do ten things __3__！ Many people believe that they can __4__ two or more tasks at the same time, but Dr. Edward Hallowell says this is __5__. The reality is that multitasking __6__ poor job performance.‎ New handhelp __7__ such as smartphones, iPads, games and social networking sites make it very easy to multitask and __8__ attention leading to difficulty focusing on the task __9__， such as listening in the classroom or doing homework. “__10__， the brain actually __11__ kids for multitasking even though your child's performance on every task gets worse and worse.

Life without you is next to impossible now. We're happy to sing your name from morning till evening, sometimes till dawn. __1__ I know you help me, sometimes you're making me do things with __2__ attention. Many times I promise myself that I'll __3__ my feelings towards you, but you're __4__ me closer and closer... You've entered both my home and my __5__. You're just a window for our __6__ and information. But we people aren't __7__ only with the window. So we open all our __8__ for you. Is this a(n) __9__ or some kind of attachment? If this is an illness, is it curable? And if this is an attachment will you __10__ me to the lifelong togetherness?‎ We want you 24/7. Can't you take a few days off so that both you and I can __11__？ You're a poison — not a slow one but a super __12__ poison which holds our mind and makes us dance __13__ its tune. Nowadays you're so __14__ that anyone can buy and make you our __15__. You'll never be bothered about our health but we'll __16__ be concerned about your “health”. Because you accompany us everywhere and never let us be alone.‎ If you were a __17__ person made of flesh and blood (血肉之躯) would we love you the same? You __18__ us with your numerous talents and we even can't get rid of you. We're all you __19__. Sometimes I wonder how people in the previous generations __20__， but if they did why can't we?‎ ‎1．A.Now that B．Only if C．Though D．When ‎2．A.praised B．increased C．focused D．divided ‎3．A.keep in B．bring back C．approve of D．give up ‎4．A.drawing B．pushing C．forcing D．observing ‎5．A.space B．soul C．society D．workplace ‎6．A.entertainment B．argument C．expansion D．struggle ‎7．A.strict B．satisfied C．generous D．busy ‎8．A.thoughts B．eyes C．exits D．doors ‎9．A.disease B．inspiration C．routine D．phenomenon ‎10．A.recommend B．instruct C．commit D．adapt ‎11．A.persist B．relax C．progress D．balance ‎12．A.raw B．ambiguous C．strong D．fast ‎13．A.to B．against C．from D．within ‎14．A.affordable B．valuable C．conventional D．attractive ‎15．A.addition B．expert C．companion D．instrument ‎16．A.sometimes B．always C．never D．seldom ‎17．A.selfish B．dishonest C．responsible D．real ‎18．A.control B．scold C．comfort D．challenge ‎19．A.friends B．slaves C．colleagues D．employers ‎20．A.suffered B．connected C．survived D．surfed ‎【解题导语】作者用诙谐的语气质问WiFi，这呈现了现代人的一种通病，那就是对无线网络的依赖。‎ ‎1．C　根据语境可知，虽然(Though)作者知道WiFi帮助了自己，但是正是WiFi的特殊作用让作者在做事情的时候会分心。‎ ‎2．D　参见上题解析。‎ ‎3．A　根据语境可知，作者很多次都对自己承诺说要抑制(keep in)自己对WiFi的情感。bring back“使回忆起，使想起”；approve of“同意，赞成”；give up“放弃”。‎ ‎4．A　根据语境可知，此处形象生动地表现了作者不能抗拒WiFi对自己的吸引。draw“吸引”符合语境。force“强迫，迫使”；observe“观察”。‎ ‎5．B　WiFi进入了作者的家和灵魂中。下文中的“holds our mind”是关键提示。‎ ‎6．A　WiFi(本来)只是我们娱乐(entertainment)和获取信息的窗口。argument“争论”；expansion“扩张”；struggle“斗争，奋斗”。‎ ‎7．B　根据上文的“You're just a window for our... information”以及“But”所表示的转折关系可知，此处表示人们并不满足于(satisfied)WiFi仅仅是个“窗口(window)”。 strict“严格的”；generous“慷慨的”。‎ ‎8．D　此处表示人们将WiFi的作用扩大化，不仅仅满足于其作为窗口的作用，而是将所有的“门(doors)”打开迎接WiFi。某种程度上而言，door是window的“升级版”。‎ ‎9．A　结合下文中的“an illness”可知，作者疑惑的是自己和其他人对WiFi如此依赖的现象是否是一种病(disease)。inspiration“灵感”；routine“惯例”；phenomenon“现象”。‎ ‎10．C　如果对WiFi的情感是一种依赖的话，WiFi能保证与作者一生都亲密无间吗？commit意为“保证(做某事、遵守协议或遵从安排等)，承诺”，符合语境。recommend“推荐”；instruct“教导”；adapt“适应”。‎ ‎11．B　WiFi不能给自己放几天假以便它和作者都能放松(relax)一下吗？persist“坚持”；progress“发展、(使)进步”；balance“平衡”。‎ ‎12．D　根据本句中的“not a slow one”可知，WiFi并不是慢性毒药，而是快速起效的毒药，故用fast与slow形成对比。raw“不熟练的”；ambiguous“含糊不清的”。‎ ‎13．A　WiFi是一种能控制人们的思想并使人们随着它的音调起舞的毒药。dance to表示“随着……跳舞”。‎ ‎14．A　根据下文中的“anyone can buy”可知，如今WiFi的价格是如此低廉以至于任何人都能买到，并使其成为人们的伴侣。affordable“支付得起的，不算太贵的”；valuable“有价值的”；conventional“传统的”；attractive“有吸引力的”。‎ ‎15．C　参见上题解析。下文中的“Because you accompany us everywhere and never let us be alone”亦是提示。addition“加，添加”；companion“伴侣，伙伴”；instrument“工具”。‎ ‎16．B　毫无生命的WiFi是决不会在意其用户的健康的，但是用户们会一直担心WiFi的“健康”，此处用always与上文的“never”形成对比，强调人们对WiFi的在意程度。‎ ‎17．D　根据下文中的“person made of flesh and blood(血肉之躯)”可知，作者想知道如果WiFi成为拥有血肉之躯的真实的人，人们是否会一样喜欢它。selfish“自私的”；dishonest“不诚实的”‎ ‎；responsible“负责任的”。‎ ‎18．A　根据上文作者介绍的人们对WiFi的依赖及下文中的“we even can't get rid of you”可知，人们离开了WiFi简直无法生活下去，而本句中的“with your numerous talents”正是WiFi控制人们的方式。control“控制”；scold“责备”；comfort“安慰”；challenge“挑战”。‎ ‎19．B　根据语境可知，WiFi控制了人们，也就是说人们成了被其掌控的奴隶(slaves)。colleague“同事”；employer“雇主”。‎ ‎20．C　根据语境尤其是本句中的“in the previous generations”可知，作者非常疑惑的是在早期没有WiFi的时候人们是如何存活(survived)下来的。suffer“受苦”；connect“联系”；surf“冲浪”。‎
