When my daughter first began competing in school chess tournaments, I often chatted
withotherparents.Sometimes,I’daskiftheyplayedchessthemselves.Usually,thereplywas
no. When I volunteered that I was learning to play, their tone was cheerfully joking:“Good
luck with that!”If this game is so good for kids, why are adults ignoring it? Seeing someone
playing smart phone games, I wanted to say:“Why are you having your kids do chess while
youdothat?"
Sure, we parents had work to do, work that helped pay for the lessons our kids were
enjoying. But I also wondered if we were sending a subtle message:that learning was for the
young.Duringonetournament,Isawagroupofparents.Theywereplayingchess!Justthen,
a group of kids passed me.“Why are adults learning chess?” one asked, in avaguely teasing
tone.

PassageTwo
There's an old fixed understanding about the difference between cats and dogs. Dogs
arelovinganloyal,whilecatsarealoof(冷漠离群的)andindifferent.Mostcatpeople,however,
probably disagree. Overall, cat research suggests cats do form emotional bonds with their
owners.Catsseemexperienceseparationanxiety,respondtotheirowners’ voicesmorethan
tostrangers’ andlook forcomfort whenscared.
But a new study reveals a more complicated picture of our relationship with cats.
Adapting a method previously used to study dogs, the scientists found cats-unlike
dogs-don’tavoid strangers who refuse tohelp their owners.Thisdoesn’tmean that thecats
in this study were selfish, but they simply didn't understand how human beings respond to
eachother.Theyweren’taware thatsome ofthestrangerswere being unhelpful.
In an experiment, a cat watched as her owner tried to open a box to get at something
inside. Two strangers sat on either side of the owner and the owner turned to one of them
and asked for help. In“helper”trials, the stranger helped the owner to open the box. In
“non-helper”trials, the stranger refused. The other stranger sat passively, doing nothing.
Then,bothstrangersofferedthecatatreat,andthescientistswatchedtoseewhichstranger
the cat approached first. Did she prefer to take food from a helpful stranger over a passive
one?Ordid she avoidtaking foodfrom thenon-helper?
When this method was used to test dogs, they showed a clear preference. The dogs
preferred not to take food from a stranger who refused to help their owner. In contrast, the
cats in the study were completely indifferent. They showed no preference for the helpful
person and no avoidance(避开) of the unhelpful person. Apparently, as far as cats are
concerned,food isfood.
What should we take from this? An attractive conclusion would be that cats are selfish
and don't care about how their owners are treated at all. This is an example of
human-centered thinking of animals. To really understand cats, we have to get out of thisviewandthink ofthemascats.
40.Whatdo most catpeople probably disagree with,according toPara.1?
A.Catsarestrange. B.Catsareloving.
C.Catsarecaring. D.Catsare cold.
41.Whatdoesmostresearchaboutcatsshow?
A.Theydon't needtheirowners’ attention.
B.Theyare emotionallyattachedtotheirowners.
C.They don'texperience separation anxietyasdogsdo.
D.They respond totheirowners’ voiceslessthandogs do.
42.Whatcan belearned fromthestudy?
A.Catstakefoodnomatterwhofeedsthem.
B.Catsrefusefood fromunhelpfulstrangers.
C.Dogsrefusefood fromthosewho angerthem.
D.Dogstakefoodnomatterhow theyaretreated.
43.Whatshould wedo tobetterunderstand cats,according tothelast paragraph?
A.Totreatthemasfriends.
B.Tocomparethemwithdogs.
C.To regardthemasanimals.
D.To care abouttheirbehavior.
PassageThree
Scientistshaveshownthatexerciseislinkedtobrainchangesthroughout allstagesoflife
and can help the brain develop and stay healthy. Babies,for example, need regular exercise
to form connections in the brain.In children, research suggests that exercise improves
attention, focus and school performance. In the elderly, exercise has been shown to help
slowmemory loss.
Then how does exercise help the brain? Over the last 20 years, scientists have learned
that exercise can help keep the mind sharp in a number of ways. Exercise improves blood
flow to the brain.The blood carries oxygen, contributing to more efficient connections
between brain cells. Increasing blood flow is one way that exercise can improve mental
abilities. The positive effects of exercise on the brain can be seen in babies, pre-teenagers
andadults.
Babies are in near-constant movement, which is extremely important for development.This movement not only strengthens their muscles, but also helps their brains form
connections. The process continues throughout life but is most intense in infancy(婴儿
期)and toddlerhood(学步期)，when children are mastering brand-new skills like sitting,
standing,walking,running andjumping
Exercise is also healthy for pre-teenagers’ brains. In fact, some research suggests that
regular exercise can improve school performance. A study found that the effects depended
on how much kids exercised. The more days the children attended theexercise program,the
moretheirfocus improved.
Finally,exercise helps keepthemind sharp during adulthood.Research suggestsexercise
can increase the size of the hippocampus, an important area of the brain, which become
smaller with age, and can increase levels of a protein (蛋白质) that aids the growth of new
braincells.Thiscan helpprevent olderadultsfrom losing mentalabilitiesand memory.
44.How doesexercise help theelderly?
A.Byimproving attention.
B.Byslowingmemory loss.
C.Byconnectingwith others.
D.Bycontrolling cellgrowth.
45.How doesexercise sharpenthemind according toPara.2?
A.Byincreasing thebrain size.
B.Bydecreasingtheprotein level.
C.Byextending thetime ofconcentration.
D.Bystrengtheningbrain cells’ connections
46.Whatiscrucialin thedevelopmentofbabies’ brains?
A.Babies’ abilitytofocus.
B.Babies’ mastery ofskills.
C.Babies’ musclestrength.
D.Babies’ near-constant movement.
47.Whatisthemainidea ofthepassage?
A.Exercise strengthenspeople's body
B.Exercise helpsbabies togrow
C.Exercise improvespeople's life.
D.Exercise benefitsthebrain.PassageFour
In1542, Francisco de Orellana led the first European voyage down the Amazon River.
During this voyage the explorers met a lot of resistance(抵抗) from the local Indians. In one
particular tribe the women fighters were so fierce thatthey drove their male fighters in front
of them with spears. Thus the river was named after the famous women fighters of the
ancientGreek stories,theAmazons.
This voyage also started our wonder of the greatest river and the largest area of
rainforestintheworld.About20%ofallfreshwatercarriedtotheoceansisfromtheAmazon
River. The Amazon basin is the world's largest, about the size of Europe. The river is a
product of the rainy season, which brings huge rains every summer. This also produces a
large area of rainforest, which supports the largest number of diverse plants and animals of
anyareain theworld.
TheAmazonrainforestisalso importantwhenitcomestothefutureofglobalwarming,
as it is a huge natural store of carbon. Up until recently it was thought that the Amazon had
fullygrownandthuscould nottakeupanymoreCO2.Experimentshaveshownthiscouldbe
wrong and that the Amazon rainforest might be sucking up an additional five tons of
CO₂fromtheatmosphereperhectare(公顷)peryear.Thisisbecauseplantsreactfavorablyto
increased CO2; because it is the raw material for photosynthesis(光合作用)，the more of it
the better. So having more CO2 in the atmosphere acts like a fertilizer,stimulating plant
growth.Because of the size of the Amazon rainforest, it seems that presently it is taking up a
large percentage of our CO2 pollution in the atmosphere, about 75% of the world’s car
pollution.
48.AfterwhomwastheAmazonRivernamed?
A.TheIndian women fighters.
B.Thehead ofanIndian tribe.
C.The firstexplorer oftheriver.
D.The women fightersin ancientGreek stories.

D.Peoplemay change thename oftheAmazonRiver.
PassageFive
The AIDA model is the foundation of modern marketing and advertising practice. It
outlines the four basic steps that can be used to persuade potential customers to make a
purchase. The first three steps lie in creating attention(A),developing interest(I),and building
desire(D)fortheproduct,beforethefourthstep-the“calltoaction”(A)-tellsthemexactlyhow
and where to buy. AIDA can channel the customer's feelings through each stage of the
communication processtoward reaching asale.
Attracting the customer’s attention is the first challenge, and this may be achieved by
using an attractive phrase,offering a discount or something for free,or demonstrating how a
problem can be solved. Once someone’s attention has been seized,it must be turned into
realinterest.Thisisbestdonebyprovidingabriefdescriptionoftheproduct’sbenefitstothe
consumer, rather than simply listing the product’s main features. Problem-solving claims, or
results-based advice can be used to create desire, before finally laying out a simple way for
that desire to be met-the means to buy. On website advertising,this might be a direct link;
onTVorprint,it maybeawebsiteortelephone number
In the movie industry, the stages of AIDA are used to great effect. Movie studios often
begin their marketing campaigns months in advance with giant posters to attract attention
to the new movie. Short attractive previews follow, which develop interest by offering an
attractive glimpse of the movie without giving too much away. Desire is inspired by the
release of the full preview, which is carefully designed to show the exciting moments of the
movie, from special effects to humorous lines of dialogue. On the opening weekend,
advertisements in newspapers and on television focus on the movie’s release, inviting the
consumertogo andbuy aticket.
52.Whatisthepurpose ofcreatingtheAIDAmodel?
A.Topromote potentialsales.B.Tosimplifythedailybusiness.
C.To describethetypesofmarkets.
D.Tolay thefoundation foradvertising.

B.Describingthebenefitsofaproduct.
C.Sellingaproductatagreat discount.
D.Offeringfree samplesthroughalink.
54.Inwhichstage oftheAIDAmodelare giantpostersused ?
