The thinking is that if the drugs help students with ADHD improve their focus, they should provide the same benefit for people who don’t have the disorder.‎ But a new study shows that drugs can actually damage brain function of healthy students who take the drug hoping to boost their intelligence. “It’s not a smart drug which will suddenly improve their ability to understand information they read,” said Lisa Weyandt, a professor at the University of Rhode Island.‎ To test whether this effect is real or not, researchers organized 13 students to take part in two five-hour study sessions（一段时间）in the lab. The students took the standard 30mg ADHD drugs before one session, and a sugar pill before the other. Students on ADHD drugs did experience an increase in their blood pressure and heart rates. “The medicine was having an effect on their brain,” Weyandt said. The students also showed an improvement in their ability to focus, the researchers found.‎ However, students on ADHD drugs experienced no improvement in reading comprehension, reading fluency or knowledge reviews, compared to when they’d taken a sugar pill. “We read aloud stories to them and asked them to recall information from the stories, ”she said. “That didn’t improve.”‎ Worse, the ADHD drug actually harms students’ memory. It’s often misused because people pull all-nighters and they’re tired, and they think it’s going to keep them awake. Maybe it does, but it’s certainly not going to help their academic work. The brain is still developing until the mid to late 20s. It’s important to keep it healthy. There’s also a chance that ADHD drugs could endanger a student’s heart health.‎ ‎28.Why do some college students take ADHD drugs?‎ A.To improve their sleeping. B. To get higher marks.‎ C.To make them feel relaxed. D.To treat brain disorder.‎ ‎29.Which of the following is closest in meaning to the word “boost”in Paragragh 2?‎ A. Analyze. B. Affect. C.Improve. D. Understand.‎ ‎30.What effect did ADHD drugs have on the students in the experiment?‎ A.They became more focused.‎ B.Their blood pressure was reduced.‎ C.Their reading fluency was greatly raised.‎ D.They could remember better and more quickly.‎ ‎31.Where can we read this text?‎ A.In a drug instruction. B.In a biology textbook.‎ C.In a travel magazine. D.In a news report.‎ D MacDonald paused a moment in front of the burning car. Flames six feet tall poured from the engine, the smell of melting rubber heavy in the air. For a few seconds, MacDonald thought about whether the car would explode, killing them both. He thought about how lucky he was to have already just survived a head-on collision(碰撞) between his truck and the red Chevy Cobalt now in flames. Was he ready to risk his life to save the man that he believed could have ended his?‎ The two-vehicle collision happened at 3:44 p.m. on Monday south of Newmarket. MacDonald was heading to work when, he says, another car swerved into his lane（车道）, hitting him head-on. Soon after the collision, the other driver’s car burst into flames with him trapped inside. MacDonald, 25, came to a decision. He would try to save the man’s life. He ran to the car. The driver’s side door was blocked but the passenger’s door was pushed open by the driver, a 64-year-old man now barely conscious. Hardly noticing the heat, MacDonald opened the door and grabbed the shoulder of the driver’s jacket. He dragged the man about 15 feet before two bystanders came to help him pull the man to a safe distance. Moments later the entire car was on fire.‎ The police confirmed the other driver was charged with careless driving. MacDonald escaped the crash with whiplash, sore muscles and wrists from the airbag release, and a headache. The other driver received serious but non-life threatening injuries,‎ ‎ said the police.‎ MacDonald is just grateful that both of them came out alive. “I’m just glad I stood up when I was needed,” said MacDonald. “You only get a couple of chances in your life to prove what you are made of.”‎ ‎32.From the passage we know MacDonald is ______.‎ A. brave and helpful B. generous but careless C. grateful and kind D. selfish but careful ‎33.The accident happened because ______.‎ A. there was a car burning B. the rubber was melting C. the driver was careless D. the driver was screaming ‎34.Before MacDonald saved the man, he ______.‎ A. found his car was greatly damaged B. doubted whether he should offer help C. was not hurt in the accident at all D. didn’t realize the danger of rescue ‎35.The underlined word “swerved”(Paragraph 2) means “______”.‎ A. turned B. knocked C. cut D. broke 第二节（共5小题；每小题2分，满分10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。‎ Scientists often see the first ten years of a child’s life as the “window of opportunity”, 36.____________ And studies show that the following activities can benefit their brain greatly.37.___________‎ Free playtime has always been an important part of “being a kid”, but it is also important to a child’s development. “Free play” not only helps kids develop different skills, it also helps them develop into happy healthy adults in the future.‎ Read with kids.‎ Reading has long been known to improve children’s intelligence. 38._________ For parents who don’t have much time, just surrounding your kids with books goes a long way too.‎ Put kids to bed early.‎ ‎39._________ Preschool children should get at least eleven hours of sleep and ‎ kids up to age 12 should try to get at least ten hours of sleep.‎ Learn a second language.‎ Early studies in this field have shown that bilingual (双语的) kids can perform better under pressure. Young children can learn new languages with nearly perfect fluency (流利) and pronunciation.‎ Praise good effort not intelligence.‎ Your kids may be smart but you should mainly praise the effort they put into tasks.

As we all know, in the future, man’s life will be very different from that of today. First, with the development of medicine, on the average, a person will live to the age of about 120. Second, because of the discovery of new energy, the environmental pollution will be under control. Third, people’s daily life will change greatly, too. For example, robots will do all your housework for you; your chair will change its color to match what you’re wearing; perhaps some people will go to the moon for a holiday.‎ ‎ That’s all !
