"I respect Dean's life and history. The movie is one of hope and love. There are still a lot of James Dean's fans worldwide and there would always he critics.

But in fact, humans blink about 15 times per minute on average. Have you ever missed anything because you blinked? Probably not. Why is that?‎ According to a new study published in the journal Current Biology in September, our brain has the ability to skip the temporary darkness when we blink. It can keep visual information for a short period of time and then put it together to form an image without interruption.‎ In order to understand how this works, a group of scientists at the German Primate Center and the University Medical Center Gottingen in Germany conducted an experiment. In the study, the participants were asked to look at patterns on a screen whose direction could he interpreted in different ways, such as horizontally(水平地)or vertically(垂直地). When one pattern was about to disappear and the next one was about to come, the participants had to indicate the direction that the next pattern would appear.‎ The researchers found that when the directions of two patterns didn't match, the area in our ‎ brain which is responsible for visual memory was activated(刺激). This same area showed less activity when two patterns were in the same direction.‎ ‎"The medial prefrontal cortex(前额叶皮层)adjusts current visual information with previously obtained information, and thus enables us to perceive the world with more stability, even when we briefly close our eyes to blink, "Caspar Schwiedrzik explained in Science Daily. He is the first author of the study and also a scientist at the German Primate Center.‎ ‎28. We don't miss anything when blinking because our brain can .‎ A. deal with the missing image B. remember all that we see C. imagine what our eyes miss D. put our pieces of memory together ‎29. What does the underlined word "it" in Paragraph 2 refer to?‎ A. Our brain. B. Visual information. ‎ C. Current Biology. D. The temporary darkness.‎ ‎30. What do we know about the experiment?‎ A. The two patterns appear at the same time.‎ B. Participants can interpret patterns differently.‎ C. The different directions activated visual memory.‎ D. Visual memory can he more activated by similarity.‎ ‎31. What would be the best title for this passage?‎ A. The Brain's Structure B. The Brain's Activated Patterns C. The Brain's Special Skill D. The Brain's Reaction D Children are now more likely to want to work in social media or gaming than traditional Careers. According to a new survey, many from seven to 11-year-olds are looking at modern technology when they think about future jobs, rather than professions such as police officer or doctor.‎ The survey involved 13,000 UK primary school children. They were asked to draw pictures of the job they wanted to do when they grow up and then tell the reasons. It concluded that children's career aspirations(志向)are often based on factors such as gender stereotypes(性别角色定型) or what they've seen in the media, TV and film.‎ ‎"For more and more children and young people, online celebrities and YouTube gaming ‎ 'videobloggers' have taken the place of TV and movie stars," the report said. "It could he argued that this is due to the growing fame and attraction of YouTube and video blogging stars, who are especially popular among younger audiences. Also, this may also speak to children's present worlds. Many from seven to 11-year-olds will spend their time gaming and perhaps at the same time watching celebrity gaming bloggers instructing them how to do it."‎ The survey found that 5% of children wanted to be in the police, with the same percentage on becoming doctors. A gender breakdown shows the top job choice for girls was teacher(19%)，followed by vet(11%)and sportsman (9%)and police (8%).‎ This highlights the pressing need for closer ties between employers and schools, to ensure that all children can have role models in a wide range of fields to help them develop an awareness of career choices at an early age. "This is vital to ensure that all children-regardless of gender and backgrounds-can fulfill their full potential."‎ ‎32. What is the traditional career choice, according to the passage?‎ A. Police officer. B. Online celebrity. ‎ C. Professional game-player. D. Video blogger.‎ ‎33. What's the favourite thing children from seven to eleven love to do, according to the survey?‎ A. Play games and watch popular TV series.‎ B. Participate in various sports in order to be sportsmen or women.‎ C. Study hard and make great efforts to become teachers and police officers.‎ D. Play games and watch celebrity gaming bloggers instructing them how to do it.‎ ‎34. What conclusion can we draw from the survey?‎ A. All children can achieve their goals.‎ B. Parents can influence children's career choices.‎ C. Children spend more time gaming than studying.‎ D. Children need a broader look at the career fields.‎ ‎35. In which column can you probably read the article?‎ A. Science. B. Education. C. Sports. D. Culture.‎ 第二节(共5小题；每小题2.5分，满分12.5分)‎ 根据短文内容，从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。‎ Small talk. Chitchat. These are the short conversations we have at parties, while we wait in line at the store, at family events or work. 36 Often we have to make small talk with complete strangers.‎ Many people find these small conversations about random topics difficult. Some people say they hate it. 37 They may even call it idle chitchat or idle chatter, meaning it doesn't do anything. They consider small talk not important.‎ ‎ 38 These exchanges can open doors that may lead to larger, more meaningful conversations. When you first meet someone or talk to someone you don't know well, it would he awkward to begin a conversation about a really deep topic such as war, politics or the meaning of life. Small talk also gives you the chance to decide if you want to know that person better-or not. Let's say you make small talk with someone at a party. 39 You may not want to build a friendship with them unless you really, really love cats.‎ Chitchat can also increase your feeling of understanding, or empathy, toward people you know but not well. Chatting with a colleague about their child may help you to understand more of their life outside the office. 40 ‎ A. However, small talk is important.‎ B. And small talk may make us happier.‎ C. But they only want to talk about cats.‎ D. Others say small talk is a waste of time.‎ E. This could help build healthy work relationships.‎ F. However, some people are not good at small talk.‎ G. Sometimes we make small talk with people we already know but not well.‎ 第三部分 英语知识运用(共三节，满分30分)‎ 第一节 完形填空(共15小题；每小题1分，满分15分)‎ 阅读下面短文，从短文后各题所给的A、B、C和D四个选项中，选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。‎ In the middle of town lived an old man.

In October, I told the eight-year-olds I taught in Pompton Lakes, New Jersey, about my plan. "I'd like all of you to do extra jobs around the house to earn some money." I said. "Then we'll buy food for a Thanksgiving dinner for someone who might not have a nice dinner otherwise."‎ I wanted the children to experience that it's more blessed to give than to receive. I wanted them to understand that religion is more than nice theological(神学的)ideas; that people somehow have to make it come alive.‎ Early in Thanksgiving week, the boys and girls arrived in class with their hard-earned money and couldn't wait to go shopping. After pacing up and down in the supermarket, we put a turkey and decorations in the shopping cart(购物车). At last we headed toward the checkout, and then someone spotted a "necessity" that sent them racing. "Flowers!" Kristine cried. The group rushed toward the holiday plants. I pronounced, "We have limited money and after all, you can't eat flowers." "But Mrs. Sherlock," the group replied, looking at me eagerly, "we want flowers."

A thin woman with a tired face came to the door to welcome us.‎ My little group hurried to get the food. As each box was carried in, the old woman kept saying "Thanks"-much to the visitors' pleasure. When Amy put the pink roses on the table, the woman seemed surprised. She was wishing it was a bag of flour. I thought. Having talked for a while, we returned to the car.‎ Paragraph 1‎ As we fastened our seat belts, we could see the kitchen window. ‎ ‎ ‎ Paragraph 2‎ Upon seeing the moving scene, the children became quiet. ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎【参考答案】‎
