23、human brain in our middle or high school biology classes. We study the subcortex, the “old brain”, which is found in the brain of most animals and is responsible for basic functions such as breathing, eating, drinking, and sleeping. We learn about the neocortex (大脑皮层), the “new brain”, which is uniq

24、ue to humans and is where complex brain activity takes place. We find that the cerebrum, which is responsible for all active thought, is divided into two parts, or hemispheres. The left hemisphere, generally, manages the right side of the body; it is responsible for logical thinking. The right hemis

25、phere manages the left side of the body; this hemisphere controls emotional, creative, and artistic functions. And we learn that the corpus callosum (胼胝体) is the “bridge” that connects the two hemisphere. Memorizing the names for parts of the brain might not seem thrilling to many students, but new

26、discoveries in brain function are exciting. Recent research is teaching us a lot about creativity, memory, the differences between men and women, and the relationship between mind and body.Left Brain/Right Brain: CreativityPsychologists agree that most of us have creative ability that is greater tha

27、n what we use in daily life. In other words, we can be more creative than we realize! The problem is that we use mainly one hemisphere of our brain - the left. From childhood, in school, were taught reading, writing, and mathematics; we are exposed to very little music or art. Therefore, many of us

28、might not “exercise” our right hemisphere much, except through dreams, symbols, and those wonderful insights in which we suddenly find the answer to a problem that has been bothering us and do so without the need for logic. Can we be taught to use our right hemisphere more? Many experts believe so.

29、Classes at some schools and books (such as “The Inner Game of Tennis and Drawing on the Right Side of the Brain”) claim to help people to “silence” the left hemisphere and give the right a chance to work.Memory - True or FalseIn the 1980s in the United States, there were many cases of adults who sud

30、denly remembered, with the help of a psychologist, things that had happened to them in childhood. These memories had been repressed - held back - for many years. Some of these newly discovered memories have sent people to prison. As people remember crimes (such as murder or rape) that they saw or ex

31、perienced as children, the police have reopened and investigated old criminal cases. In fact, over 700 cases have been filled that are based on these repressed memories.However, new studies in 1990s suggest that many of these might be false memories. At a 1994 conference at Harvard Medical School, n

32、euroscientists discussed how memory is believed to work. It is known that small pieces of a memory (sound, right, felling, and so on) are kept in different parts of the brain; the limbic system, in the middle of the brain, pulls these pieces together into one complete memory.But its certain that peo

33、ple can “remember” things that have never happened. Even a small suggestion can leave a piece of memory in the brain. Most frightening, according to Dr. Michael Nash of the University of Tennessee, is that “there may be no structural difference” in the brain between a false memory and a true one.Dif

34、ferences in Male and Female BrainsWatch a group of children as they play. Youll probably notice that the boys and girls play differently, speak differently and are interested in different things. When they grow into men and women, the difference do not disappear. Many scientists are now studying the

35、 origins of these gender differences. Some are searching for an explanation in the human brain. Some of the findings are interesting. For example, theyve found that more men than women are left-handed; this reflects the dominance of the brains right hemisphere. By contrast, more women listen equally

36、 with both ears while men listen mainly with the right ear. Men are better at reading a map without having to turning the map again and again. Women are better at reading the emotions of people in photographs.One place to look for an explanation of gender differences is in the hypothalamus (下丘脑), ju

37、st above the brain stem. This controls anger, thirst, hunger, and sexual desire. One recent study shows that there is a region in the hypothalamus that is larger in heterosexual (异性爱旳) men than it is in women and homosexual (同性恋旳) men. Another area of study is the corpus callosum, the thick group of

38、 nerves that allows the right and left hemispheres of the brain to communicate with each other. The corpus callosum is larger in women than in men. This might explain the mystery of “female intuition”, which is supposed to give women greater ability to “read” and understand emotional clues.The Myste

39、ry of the Mind-body RelationshipThere is more and more evidence every day to prove that our minds and bodies are closely connected. Negative emotions, such as loneliness, depression, and helplessness, are believed to cause a higher rate of sickness and death. Similarly, its possible that positive th

40、inking can help people remain in good physical health or become well faster after an illness. Although some doctors are doubtful about this, most accept the success of new therapies (e.g., relaxation and meditation) that help people with problems such as ulcers (溃疡), high blood pressure, insomnia (失

41、眠), and migraine headaches. Questions 26-35 are based on the passage you have just read.26. There is no neocortex in the brain of animals other than human beings.27. Most people probably dont use all their creative ability.28. Our memories can be improved by recalling childhood experiences.29. Peopl

42、e can have memories of things that never happened.30. Newly discovered memories from childhood may turn out to be false memories.31. There is no real difference between the brains of males and those of females.32. Theres a growing number of evidence to prove that our minds and bodies are closely con

43、nected.33. Positive thinking can help people recover faster.34. When children grow into adults, the gender differences they demonstrated as youngsters disappear.35. Hypothalamus controls peoples emotions. Section B: Reading in Depth (30%) Directions: There are three passages in this section. Each pa

44、ssage is followed by some questions or unfinished statements. For each of them there are four choices marked A), B), C) and D). You should decide on the best choice and mark the corresponding letter on the Answer Sheet with a single line through the center.Passage OneQuestions 36 to 40 are based on

45、the following passage.Humans are social animals. They depend on groups for survival. An individual human being lost in a wilderness is capable of doing many things. But he or she will probably be thinking constantly about how much better it would be if there were other people around to talk to and t

46、o help.Because humans like to live and work in groups, they form couples and families; villages and cities; work groups, teams and other organizations. Language is the “cement” that holds these social groups together.Through language we can share ideas and experiences. The human mouth and throat are

47、 so constructed that we can utter a variety of sounds. Language is the device for matching certain combinations of sounds with the symbols for things, ideas and emotions. Our brains think in symbols - words and sentences - as well as in the images that we receive from our senses. Thus we can turn ex

48、periences into symbols and communicate to other people through the use of language. Any one individual, therefore, can learn much more from others than he or she can discover alone. Language enables people to pass ideas from group to group and from generation to generation.Language is part of cultur

49、e. Culture, in this sense, means all those customs, skills and attitudes that are part of the behavior of a particular group. The way you live, what you think and what you want in life are all affected by the culture of the group in which you are raised. Groups of people live in different ways. They

50、 may have different skills, organizations and art forms. Their family life may be completely different from yours. Human beings are inventive animals. They can even decide to change their cultures in order to meet new situations. They can choose to live in many environments and in a wide variety of

51、ways. Of all living things, only human beings can choose where and how they want to live and then modify the physical environment to help them realize these choices. Acquiring the wisdom to make wise choices is the enduring challenge of being human.36. What is the most important thing that helps hum

52、ans to form social groups?A) Construction.B) Language.C) Good behavior.D) Marriage.37. With language we can do all the following but _. A) produce good health B) communicate to other people C) pass ideas from group to groupD) turn experiences into symbols 38. Which of the following is not affected d

53、irectly by culture?A) Your way of life.B) Your thinking.C) Your senses.D) Your needs.39. In what sense are humans wise and different from other living things?A) Humans can change the environment to meet their needs. B) Humans move from place to place. C) Humans live in groups. D) Humans have a livin

54、g place.40. The best title for this passage might be _.A) The History of Human BeingsB) Variety of CulturesC) Humans Are Inventive AnimalsD) Language, Culture and Human BeingsPassage TwoQuestions 41 to 45 are based on the following passage.Learning how to write is like taking a course in public spea

55、king. Id ask whether anyone in class had ever taken such a course. Invariably a few hands would go up. “What did you learn in that course?” Id ask. “Well, the main thing was learning how to face an audience: not to be inhibited - not to be nervous.”Exactly, when you take a course in public speaking

56、nowadays, you dont hear much about grammar and vocabulary. Instead, youre taught how not to be afraid or embarrassed, how to speak without a prepared script, how to read out to the live audience before you. Public speaking is a matter of overcoming your long-standing nervous inhibitions. The same is

57、 true of writing. The point of the whole thing is to overcome your nervous inhibitions, to break through the invisible barrier that separates you from the person wholl read what you wrote. You must learn to sit in front of your typewriter or dictating machine and read out to the person at the other

58、end of the line.Of course, in public speaking, with the audience right in front of you, the problem is easier. You can look at them and talk to them directly. In writing, youre alone. It needs an effort of your experience or imagination to take hold of that other person and talk to him or her. But t

59、hat effort is necessary - or at least its necessary until youve reached the point when you quite naturally and unconsciously “talk on paper”. 41. The topic of the passage is _. A) how to be a good writer B) how to be a good speaker C) how to express yourself with your words D) how to get rid of nerv

60、ousness in public speaking 42. The public speech course mainly teaches students _. A) how to make an attractive speech using perfect grammar and vocabulary B) how to express themselves exactly and vividly C) how to collect data needed and organize it D) how to get over their nervousness when making

61、a speech. 43. The similarity between making a public speech and writing is that _. A) you have to do a lot of preparation work beforehand . B) you should get over your nervous inhibitions C) you should know grammar and vocabulary well to accomplish them D) both of them have audience 44. In the opini

62、on of the author, public speaking is much easier than writing because _ .A) public speaking requires less effort than writing B) its unnecessary for you to write a lot for speech and you can say anything as you like C) you face the audience directly in public speaking while writing is otherwise D) in public speaking, the audience have to listen to you whether they like it or not 45. The author of this passage probably is a _. A) boss B) politician C) writer D) professorPassage ThreeQuestions 46 to 50 are based on the following passage.
