Ask Dr？Jeffers This month Dr．Jeffers is answering questions about the
human brain and how it works．
Dear Dr．Jeffers，
One of my colleagues，Felix Moeller，told me that scientists are learning to use computer
to‘read minds'．Is there any truth to this story/
﹣Jane Leon，New York，USA
Dear Ms．Leon，
Well，a lot of research is being conducted in this area，but so far，the brain scanning
equipment and corresponding computer programs haven't been able to actually read
thoughts．In one experiment，tes t subjects（受试者）were connected to scanning equipment
and shown two numbers on a screen．They were then asked to choose between adding or
subtra cting（减）the two numbers．Using this method，researchers were able to follow brain
processes and make the correct assumptions（假设）70 percent of the time．It's not quite
mind reading，but it's certainly a first step．
﹣Dr．J．
Dear Dr．Jeffers，
My three﹣year﹣old son loves it when I dig my fingers into his sides and tickle （胳肢）him
until he laughs uncontrollably．The other day I noticed him trying to tickle himself but he
couldn't do it．Why not？
﹣Glenn Lewis，Vancouver，Canada
Dear Mr．Lewis，
It's because of how the brain works．The brain is trained to know what to pay attention to and
what to ignore．It causes us to ignore physical feelings we expect to happen，but it causes a
mild panic reaction when there is an unexpected feeling．For example，you don't notice how
your shoulder feels while you're walking down the street．But if someone comes up behind
you and touches you lightly on the shoulder，you may jump in fear．It's that unexpected part
that causes the tickle reaction．
﹣Dr．J．
46．What can we learn from the answer to the first question？
A．Some equipment is able to read human minds．
B．Some progress has been made in mind reading．
C．Test subjects have been used to make decisions．
D．Computer programs can copy brain processes．
47．People laugh when tickled by others because the feeling is ．
A．unexpected
B．expected
C．comfortable
D．uncomfortable
48．Who has got a little child according to the text？
A．Ms．Leon
B．Mr．Lewis
C．Mr．Moeller
D．Dr．Jeffers
第4页 | 共9页49．According to the text，Jeffers is probably ．
A．a computer programmer
B．a test subject
C．a human brain expert
D．a medical doctor．

第5页 | 共9页54．（6分）The 1900House
The bowler family was one of more than 400families who applied to 1900 house，a reality TV
shout which took a typical family back a hundred years to see how people lived in the days before
the internet，computer games and even electricity．
The bowler family spent three months in a London home without a
telephone，computers，TV，or fast food．The bowlers wore clothes from 1900，are only food
available in English at that time，and cooked their meals on a single stove．Paul bowler still
went to work every day in a then uniform．The children changed their clothes on the way to and
from school and their classmates didn't know about then unusual home life．Joyce stayed at
home，cooking and cleaning like a typical housewife of the time，though everything took three
times as long．
So does Joyce think that people's lives were better in the old days？
"I think people in the old days had just ad many troubles and worries，"Joyce said．
And I don't think their life was better or worse，there were lots of things back then that I'm
happy I don't have to deal with nowadays，but on the other hand life was simpler．""We had a
lot more time with our family，and it was hard being nice to each other all the
time，"eleven﹣year﹣old Hilary said．
So what did the Bowler family miss most about modern life while living in the 1900 house？
Paul，39："telephone and a hot shower"
Joyce，44："a quick cup of tea from a kettle you could just turn on"
Hilary，11："rock CD"
Joseph，9："hamburger and computer games"
54．While the Bowler family was living in 1900house， ．
A．the mother spent more time on housework
B．the two children wore the then clothes for school

56．What would Hilary expect most from modern life in the three months？
A．To play computer games
B．To make phone calls
C．To listen to music
D．To chat on the Internet．
57．（8分）When I first got an email account ten years ago，I received communications only
from family，friends，and colleagues．Now it seems that every time I check my e﹣mail，I
have an endless series of advertisement and other correspondence that do not interest the at all．If
we want e﹣mail to continue to be useful，we need special laws that make
spamming（发送垃圾邮件） a crime．
第6页 | 共9页If lawmakers do not do something soon to prohibit spam，the problem will certainly get much
worse．Computer programs allow spammers to spend hundreds of millions of e﹣mails almost
instantly．As more and more advertisers turn to spam to sell their
products，individual（个人的）e﹣mail boxes are often flooded with spam e﹣mails．Would
people continue to use e﹣mail if they had to deal with an annoying amount of spam each time？
This problem is troubling for individuals and companies as well．Many spam emails contain
computer viruses that can shut down the entire network of a company．Companies rely on
e﹣mail on for their employees to communicate with each other．Spam frequently causes failures
in their local communications networks，and their employees are thus unable to communicate
effectively．Such a situation results in a loss of productivity and requires companies to repeatedly
repair their networks．These computer problems raise production costs of companies，which
are，in the end，passed on to the consumer．
For these reasons，I believe that lawmakers need to legislate （立法） against
spam．Spammers should be fined，and perhaps sent to prison if they continue to disturb
people．E﹣mail is a tool which helps people all over the world to communicate
conveniently，but spam is destroying this convenience．
57．What does the underlined word"correspondence"in the Paragraph 1probably mean？
A．messages
B．ideas
C．connections
D．programs
58．According to the text，what is the major cause of the flooding spam？
A．Companies rely on e﹣mail for communications．
B．More people in the world communicate by e﹣mail．
C．Many computer viruses contain spam e﹣mail．
D．More advertisers begin to promote sales through spam．
59．According to Paragraph 3，who is the final victim of spam？
A．The business
B．The advertiser
C．The employee
D．The consumer
60．What is the purpose of the text？
A．To inform
B．To educate
C．To persuade
D．To instruct．
第二节（共1小题，每小题10分，满分10分）根据短文内容，从下框的A～F选项中选出能
概括每一段主题的最佳选项．选项中有一项为多余项．
61．（10分）A．Gift giving proven to be valuable．
B．Memories from gift giving
C．Moments and events for gift giving
D．Various functions of gift giving
第7页 | 共9页E．Gift giving as a wasteful practice
F．Gift giving as a two﹣way social activity
Gift Giving
61．
There are many occasions（场合） for giving gifts in modern industrialized
societies：birthdays，naming ceremonies，weddings，anniversaries，New Year，It is common
to give gifts on many of these celebrations in western cultures．In addition，special events，such
as one's first day of school or graduation from university，often require gift fiving．
62．
What is happening when we give gifts？Most important，we are exchanging gifts．If someone
gives me a gift for my birthday，I know that I am usually expected to give one on his or her next
birthday．A gift builds up or confirms a social obligation（义务）．
63．
Gifts tighten personal relationships and provide a means of communication between loved
ones．People say that a gift lets the recipient（接受者） know we are thinking of them，and that
we want to make the person"feel special．"We want people to feel wanted，to feel part of our
social or family group．We give presents to say"I'm sorry．"Sometimes it is difficult for us to
find a present that someone will like．Sometimes we give things that we like or would feel
comfortable with．In all these cases，the gifts are sending out messages﹣often very expressive
ones．
64．
People tend to talk about presents in a fairly loving way．A woman whose mother had died years
ago described the many gifts around her house．These were gifts that her mother had given her
over the years："I appreciate these，and they mean something to me，"the woman
said，"because I remember the occasions they were given on，and that they were from my
mother，and the relationship we've had．"The gifts remain and keep the relationship alive in
mind．This woman felt the same way about the gifts she gave to others．She hoped that the
recipients would look at here gifts in years to come and remember her．
65．
Emotions（情感）like these suggest that a positive spirit still lies behind gift giving．They prove
that the anthropologist Claude Levi﹣Strauss was wrong to say that modern western gift giving is
highly wasteful．Studies in Canada and elsewhere have also shown that this is not the case．Each
gift is unique even if so many are given．The emotional benefit for those who exchange gifts is
the very reason for the tradition to continue．
