The language of Gaelic has been spoken in Scotland since at least the 10th century and was at one time the country's
main language, widespread in towns and cities across the nation. Since the union of Scotland and England in the early 18th
century, though, it has been in decline. These days you are most likely to find native Gaelic speakers in the Highlands of
Scotland, with concerns having been raised about the future of the language.
Now, a new initiative from Community cafe and Gaelic cultural centre seeks to turn the tide with the release of the first
Gaelic edition of the board game Scrabble.
Titled Scrabble Gàidhlig, it contains only the 18 letters found in the Gaelic alphabet and includes the grave accent on
3
学科网（北京）股份有限公司vowels À È Ì Ò and Ù. The frequency with which each letter appears has been reconsidered to reflect its usage in Gaelic, and
scoring has been reformulated（重新设定）to reflect the respective ease and difficulty of using different letters in the
language.
“We worked closely on the development of the new game with the team at An Taigh Cèilidh, who have done a fantastic
job of localizing the material and ensuring that the game plays really well," said CEO Jim Harrison. “I hope everyone enjoys
playing it as much as we enjoyed making it.”
“It will help people improve their oral skills and the range of their vocabulary in Gaelic,"said McLeod, professor of
Gaelic at the University of Edinburgh. "In particular,many Gaelic speakers are not very confident with their written Gaelic
and Gaelic Scrabble could give them a valuable boost. It will be very helpful for Gaelic learners too. Gaelic spelling is very
logical once you are familiar with the system, but it does take time to master it."
Scrabble was invented in 1948 and has been common in UK homes ever since, with about half of all households owning
at least one set. It is sold in more than 120 countries and available in 28 languages and counting.
24.Why was Scrabble Gàidhlig invented?
A. To help keep a declining language alive.
B. To add a new type to board games.
C.To help reunite the two countries.
D. To promote a language game.
25. What is discussed about Scrabble Gàidhlig in paragraph 3?
A. Its origin. B. Its feature.
C.Its advantage. D. Its function.
26.How will Scrabble Gàidhlig benefit its users according to Prof McLeod?
A. It will improve their language competence.
B. It will boost their confidence in socializing.
C. It will raise their interest in the board game.
D. It will enhance their hands-on ability.
27.What is the last paragraph intended to do?
A. Add some background information.
B. Make some further predictions.
C. Raise a reasonable doubt.
D.Introduce a global trend.

It has long been known that dogs can learn commands like “sit,”“stay,”or“fetch”and can respond to these words with
learned behaviors, often with the help of a treat or two,but uncovering their understanding of nouns has proven more
difficult.
To look into the mystery, Boros from Eötvös Loránd University in Hungary and her colleagues, inspired by studies
investigating the comprehension of babies before they can speak，decided to mimic（模仿）these experiments with dogs.
They invited 18 dog owners to bring their pets to the lab along with five objects the animals knew well. These included
balls, slippers, Frisbees, rubber toys, leads and other items. At the lab, the owners were instructed to say words for objects
their dogs already knew. Then, the owners held up either the matching object or a different one while small metal discs
harmlessly attached to the dogs' heads measured brain activity in a process known as electroencephalography (EEG).
Using EEG, the researchers aimed to observe any variances in brain activity when the dog's owner mentioned a specific
object, such as a “ball”, but displayed a different item,like a stick, as opposed to when both the spoken word and the presented
object matched.This was indeed the case, with the results being strongest when the object was very familiar to the dog. That's
similar to what researchers have seen in humans and is widely accepted as evidence that they understand the words.
Writing in Current Biology, the scientists say the results “provide the first neural evidence for object word knowledge in
a non-human animal".
But the true extent of the dogs' comprehension is still unknown, even by the study's authors,since the dogs were
responding to their own toys and objects that the owners brought to the lab.
The researchers are now curious to know if this ability to understand referential language is specific to dogs or might be
present in other mammals as well. Either way,they want to learn more about how this ability emerged and whether it depends
4
学科网（北京）股份有限公司on dogs' unique experience of living with people.
28. Which aspect of dogs did Boros's research focus on?
A. Their speed of learning actions.
B.Their willingness to follow orders.
C. Their responses to training treats.
D. Their capacity of understanding nouns.
29. What is paragraph 3 of the text mainly about?
A. The result of human-dog interactions.
B. The process of Boros's experiment.
C. The logic of pattern matching.
D.The theory of EEG analysis.
30. The brain recording results showed a different pattern in the brain when
A. pet owners showed more objects than usual
B. dogs had a larger vocabulary of object words
C. the experiment was conducted in a new environment
D. the spoken word and the presented object mismatched
31. What does the author want to convey in the last paragraph?
A.Conclusions from the experiment.
B. Insights into dogs' experiences.
C. Expectations for future studies.
D. Applications of the discovery.

The recent spread of “fake news" may make it seem like misinformation is a relatively modern invention. But
falsehoods（假话）and wild claims have been part of human culture for about as long as it's existed. This is because
misinformation originates with, and is spread by, fellow humans.
When you've ever had lo communicate an important, but complex, issue to a general audience, you may have a sea of
the most reliable data, the most elegant PowerPoint slides and the full backing of every famous expert in the relevant field.
And yet, you can still be less persuasive than someone whose entire argument is: “A guy I met down the pub told me something
different."
In a perfectly sensible, logical world, someone who is loosely connected with a certain field or industry wouldn't have
the same influence as actual data, or the leading experts in the field. But humans aren't perfectly sensible, logical creatures
and neither is the world we live in.
The ability to think rationally（理性地）and analytically is a relatively recent addition to our mental abilities (in the
evolutionary sense). And it costs our brains a lot of energy and effort. The more established, fundamental systems in our brain,
which shape memory and learning, are heavily reliant on emotion. The more emotionally stimulating something is, the easier it
is to remember. That's why we can spend months revising the material for a crucial school exam, but struggle to remember
any of it once we've passed. Meanwhile,the embarrassing time we slipped and landed on our backside in the school canteen
---that memory will last until our dying day.
The most determined sceptics（无神论者）will often say，“Facts don＇t care about your feelings,"which is correct.
But feelings don't necessarily care about facts either. And ultimately,feelings have more of a say in what we think and do.
And that's why your mate down the pub can seem more believable than a pile of published research.
32.What contributes to the spread of "fake news"?
A.People factor.
B.Human culture.
C. Modern invention.
D. Information accuracy.
33.Why are actual data less persuasive to general audiences?
A.They prefer making sensible analyses.
5
学科网（北京）股份有限公司B. They are more likely to be emotional.
C. They have more trust in authority.
D.They overestimate themselves.
34.How does the author illustrate his idea in paragraph 4?
A. By listing figures.
B. By giving examples.
C. By explaining a concept.
D. By citing experts' words.
35. What is the author's purpose of writing the passage?
A. To reveal secrets.
B.To share emotions.
C. To criticize a decision.
D. To describe a phenomenon.

Overcoming barriers to exercising
If you're having trouble beginning an exercise plan or following through,you're not alone. Detailed exercise instructions
and workout plans are just a click away. But knowing how and why to exercise was far from enough. Making exercise a habit
takes more. 36
While practical concerns like a busy schedule or poor health can make exercise more challenging, for most of us, the
biggest barriers are mental. Maybe it's a lack of self-confidence that keeps you from taking positive steps. 37 We've all been
there at some point.There are steps you can take to make exercise more fun and active.
You don't have to spend hours in a gym or force yourself into dull or painful activities to experience the physical and
mental benefits of exercise. 38 In fact, adding just modest amounts of physical activity to your weekly routine can have a
profound effect on your mental and emotional health.
Research shows that self-sympathy increases the likelihood that you'll succeed in any attempt. So, don't blame yourself
too much for your current fitness level. 39Instead, look at your past mistakes as opportunities to learn and grow.
40 Try not to be discouraged by what you can't accomplish or how far you have to go to reach your fitness goals.
Instead, focus on consistency. While the improvements in mood and energy levels may happen quickly, the physical payoff
will come in time.
A.Maybe your passion dies down.
B. A little exercise is better than nothing.
C. Expecting too much only leads to frustration.
D. You know there are great reasons to exercise.
E. All that will do is cause you to lose motivation.
F.You need the right mindset and a smart approach.
G.Many of us are struggling to get into the motionless state.

A birthday surprise
I stood at the kitchen window watching Papa as he sat in the old, wooden lawn chair staring out at the lake. Ralph, his
7
学科网（北京）股份有限公司old black dog, lay on the ground at his side. Papa's hand absently stroked （抚摩） the head of his old companion as they
dreamed the dreams of old men and old dogs in the evening sun. “He does this day after day?” I asked Mama.
She nodded, sadness filling her eyes. “I don't know what to do for him. There is a strong desire in his eyes that I can't
satisfy -a desire for the past. The past can't be brought back to the present. Once days are gone, they are gone forever,” Mama
sighed.
“I'm going down to talk to him,” I said.
I called out to Papa and handed him a cup of coffee: “What are you and Ralph thinking about all these hours you spend
out here?” I asked.
“We're not thinking,” he said softly. “We're wishing." I sat on the grass beside his chair.“Wishing for what?”“For the
impossible, I suppose,” he sighed. “You always told me that nothing was impossible if you wanted it badly enough and were
willing to work hard for it," I reminded him.
He laughed softly, but there was no amusement in the sound. “But Ralph and I have come to learn that when you reach
our age, some things are actually impossible.”“Maybe I can help you. What do you want so badly?” I asked.
Papa grinned （咧嘴大笑），and his eyes shone brightly at the thought of his dream becoming a reality. “Ralph and
I want to fix up the old boat and go out on the lake again.We used to spend all day out on the lake, fishing, drinking beer and
eating sandwiches,"Papa said.
Yes,I remember. When I was young, Papa and Ralph often enjoyed themselves on the lake on weekends. They'd start
for home when the sun went down, totally satisfied with themselves and with life. Now, Papa was almost eighty-five years
old and had a heart condition, so Mama was horrified by the idea of him going out on the lake again at first.But eventually I
managed to convince her.
After Mama agreed, I persuaded my friends to join in my secret plan.
On the day of Papa's birthday, we were all eager to give him a surprise.
