After finishing the book Red Wolf, the readers would learn that_. A. the boy helped arrest the murderer B. Benny died of an accidentC. the murderer got away with the crime D. Annika carried out the crimeB“Oh, my God! Did I really just send that text? ”Most people have said something that they wish they could take back. And if they had paused to think about it first, they probably would have acted differently. Pausing doesnt pay off just when you speak. Scientific studies have shown that making a habit of pausing before you do something can actually have a big impact on how your life turns out. In making decisions we rely on two areas of the brain. One area creates and processes emotions; the other governs logical thought. The type of decision, how we feel about it, and how prepared we are to handle it help determine which brain area has more influence. But our age also plays an important role. Thinking through the consequences of ones actions is actually harder for teens because the area controlling logical thought is not fully developed until around age 25. This is why teens often feel an intense emotional drive to act impulsivelyits how their brains are structured! Though this tendency to act without considering the outcomes can lead to problematic situations, impulsivity during the developmental years evolves because it makes teens more open to new experiences and ideas. This openness helps teens become independent adults. The key to making impulsivity work for youinstead of against youis to train your brain by practicing pausing. This doesnt mean you stop taking risks or being open to new experiences. But you wont know if the risk is worth it until you think it through. Deciding to take a risk based on logic shows self-control, not impulsivity. What are different ways to pause? You might take a deep breath, count to 10, or ask, “Is this worth it? ”Different strategies work for different people. Whatever works for you, keep doing it! By practicing pausing, you can actually change your brain. This means that over time, pausing, instead of immediately reacting, becomes your“natural”response. And with this change, people are on their way to enjoying the life rewards that come with high levels of self-controleven if they werent natural-born pausers! 25. What challenges teenagers? A. Giving natural response. B. Making logical decisions. C. Acting before thorough thinking. D. Choosing brain-training strategies. 26. An impulsive person tends to_. A. think through a risk in advance B. show high level of self-controlC. consider or accept new ideas D. change ideas frequently27. According to the passage, by training ones brain, one can_. A. stop taking risksB. fully develop ones brainC. become more open to new experiencesD. reduce the influence of emotional drive28. What is the best title for the passage? A. Discover the Brain FunctionB. Crying Over the Spilt MilkC. Push the Pause ButtonD. Impulsivity WorksCGovernment statistics recently showed that in the UK, more than 3 000 people a year experience electric shocks in their home. A smaller number of people are killed after they contact with power lines outside the home. Electric shocks can cause a person's heart or breathing to stop, can also cause burns and are potentially fatal. It is essential for people to learn basic first aid techniques to deal with such emergencies.What to do?If you are the first person to reach someone who has had an electric shock, don't touch him/her!If they are still holding the appliance (家用电器) that has given them shock (e.g. a hair dryer), unplug it or turn off the power at its source. Under no circumstances will you try to move the appliance with your hand!If you can't turn off the power, use a piece of wood, like a broom handle or a chair, to separate the victim from the appliance or the power source. You may even be able to do this with a folded newspaper.The victim must remain lying down. If they are unconscious, victims should be placed on their side. But they should not be moved if there is a possibility of neck or spine injuries unless it is absolutely necessary.It is essential to maintain the victim's body heat, so make sure you cover him or her with a blanket before you do anything else. If the victim is not breathing, apply mouth­to­mouth resuscitation (人工呼吸). Keep the victim's head low until professional help arrives.If the electric shock has been caused by an external power line, the dangers to the victim and to anybody providing first aid are much greater.29What kind of passage is it?AAn advertisement.BA horror story.CA news report.DFirst aid emergency advice.30The underlined sentence “Under no circumstances will you try to move the appliance with your hand！” implies that _.Ayou should move the appliance that caused itByou should pick up the appliance and turn off the electricityCit is very dangerous to touch the appliance with your handsDit is unnecessary to unplug the appliance with your hands31When a person has got an electric shock, you should _.Aseparate the victim from the appliance and let him sit upBkeep the victim warm and help him breathe againCmove the victim onto his side if he has got neck injuriesDkeep the victim's head high until professional help arrivesDFree Wi-Fi has become very important to us: many stores and shopping malls offer it, restaurants use it to attract customers, and for libraries and coffee shops it is a must-have service. Even when people are traveling, they scan for free Wi-Fi. When selecting or rating a hotel, six in ten travelers believe that unlimited Wi-Fi is the most important factor. “Today, people will never forget to pack their smart phones, tablets and laptops into the suitcase, ”said the Daily Mail. “We rely on free Wi-Fi heavily when travelingespecially when it comes to checking social media, checking out travel tips, and accessing websites. ”However, despite the opportunities that free Wi-Fi gives us, “our over-reliance on technology has come at a price, with travelers feeling unable to escape social media”, said Lonely Planet, the worlds largest travel guide brand. Anita Isalska, Lonely Planet editor and tech addict, was forced to unplug when in an isolated(隔绝的)camp in Greenland recently. “Adjusting to this slower pace, I began to realize that: social media had changed into a habit, ”she wrote. “I had believed I was capturing(捕捉)moments, but in reality my busy fingers were preventing me enjoying travels deepest pleasures. How fully can you appreciate a huge glacier or wild flowers when your brain is selecting the right photo filter(滤镜)or the perfect six seconds to take photos”. In September, Lonely Planet released 10 predictions for the future of global travel. One of them was that true escapes will be highly valued in future, so remote hotels will start to make their lack of the Internet into an appealing feature. Would you like to have an unplugged holiday? 32. According to the passage, people nowadays tend to do the following EXCEPT_. A. getting out of a library that has no access to the InternetB. thinking ill of a hotel without Wi-FiC. making travel plans via the InternetD. enjoying traveling better without carrying any Hi-Tech equipment33. Through the fourth paragraph, the author intends to_. A. give more evidence to the view mentionedB. show a different opinion on the topicC. get into another topicD. summarize the previous paragraphs34. What has Anita Isalska realized in Greenland? A. Travelers cannot survive without Hi-Tech. B. Taking pictures doesnt affect appreciating nature. C. Her over-reliance on technology has come at a price. D. Her fingers are not flexible enough to take enough pictures. 35. What does“an unplugged holiday”mean in the last paragraph? A. A camping holiday. B. A holiday in a remote hotel. C. A holiday without Wi-Fi. D. A holiday without taking pictures. 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。 Halloween is a special time for families. 36. _It is also a great opportunity for adults to develop the relationship with their children.
