In contemporary culture, physical expressions of anger are generally considered too socially harmful to be tolerated. We no longer regard duels(决斗) as an appro
3、priate expression of anger resulting from one persons awareness of insulting behaviour on the part of another.Anger can be identified in the brain, where the electrical activity changes. Under most conditions EEG (脑电图) measures of electrical activity show balanced activity between the right and left
4、 prefrontal (额叶前部) areas. Behaviourally this corresponds to the general even-handed disposition （意向）that most of us possess most of the time. But when we are angry the EEG of the right and left prefrontal areas arent balanced and. as a result of this, were likely to react. And our behavioural respon
5、se to anger is different from our response to other emotions, whether positive or negative.Most positive emotions are associated with approach behaviour: we move closer to people we like. Most negative emotions, in contrast, are associated with avoidance behaviour: we move away from people and thing
6、s that we dislike or that make us anxious. But anger is an exception to this pattern. The angrier we are. the more likely we are to move towards the object of our anger. This corresponds to what psychologists refer to as offensive anger: the angry person moves closer in order to influence and contro
7、l the person or situation causing his anger. This approach-and-confront behaviour is accompanied by a leftward prefrontal asymmetry (不对称 ) of EEG activity. Interestingly, this asymmetry 2lessens if the angry person can experience empathy (同感) towards the individual who is bringing forth the angry re
8、sponse. In defensive anger, in contrast, the EEG asymmetry is directed to the right and the angry person feels helpless in the face of the anger-inspiring sitaation.61. The “duels“ example in Paragraph 2 proves that the expression of anger .A. usually has a biological basis B. varies among peopleC.
9、is socially and culturally shaped D. influences ones thinking and evaluation62. What changes can be found in an angry brain?A.Balanced electrical activity can be spotted.B. Unbalanced patterns are found in prefrontal areas.C. Electrical activity corresponds to ones behaviour.D.Electrical activity ag

But the research has found laptop users are less able to remember and apply the concepts they have been taught.Researchers performed experiment
16、s that aimed to find out whether using a laptop increased the tendency to make notes “mindlessly” by taking down word for word what the professors said.In the first experiment, students were given either a laptop or pen and paper. They listened to the same lectures and were told to use their usual n
17、ote-taking skills. Thirty minutes after the talk, they were examined on their ability to remember facts and on how well they understood concepts.4The researchers found that laptop users took twice as many notes as those who wrote by hand. However, the typists performed worse at remembering and apply
18、ing the concepts. Both groups scored similarly when it came to memorizing facts.The researchers report said, “While more notes arc beneficial, if the notes are taken mindlessly, as is more likely the case on a laptop, the benefit disappears.”In another experiment aimed at testing long-term memory, s
19、tudents took notes as before but were tested a week after the lecture. This time, the students who wrote notes by hand performed significantly better on the exam.These two experiments suggest that handwritten notes arc not only better for immediate learning and understanding, but that they also lead

28、mmunicate with each other and pass on their wealth to the next generation?UBC Professor Simard explains how trees are much more complex than most of us ever imagined. Although Charles Darwin thought that trees arc competing for survival of the fittest, Simard shows just how wrong he was. In fact, th

30、 the right amount to keep them all healthy. This hidden system works in a very similar way to the networks of neurons（神经元）in our brains, and when one tree is destroyed, it affects all.Simard talks about “mother trees”, usually the largest and oldest plants on which all other trees depend. She explai
31、ns how dying trees pass on the wealth to the next generation, transporting important minerals to young trees so they may continue to grow. When humans cut down “mother trees” with no awareness of these highly complex “tree societies” or the networks on which they feed, we are reducing the chances of
32、 survival for the entire forest.7“We didnt take any notice of it.” Simard says sadly. “Dying trees move nutrition into the young trees before dying, but we never give them chance.” If we could put across the message to the forestry industry, we could make a huge difference towards our environmental

36、容。29. 【答案】C 【试题解析】推理题。根据本句 Although Charles Darwin thought that trees arc 8competing for survival of the fittest, Simard shows just how wrong he was. In fact, the opposite is true: 可知达尔文认为树是相互竞争以获得生存。但是 Simard的实验发现达尔文是错误的。实际上：与达尔文的理论相反的观点是正确的。也就是说树不是竞争生存，而是考相互合作，相互依靠生存下来的。故 C正确。30. 【答案】B 【试题解析】推理题。根
37、据文章第四段 Simard talks about “mother trees”, usually the largest and oldest plants on which all other trees depend.可知“mother trees”通常都是其他的树依赖的大树，它承担这向小树输送养料的作用。ACD 三项都是片面的理解。故 B正确。31. 【答案】A【试题解析】推理题。根据第四段最后三行和最后一段第一行 When humans cut down “mother trees” with no awareness of these highly complex “tree so

39、se you to learn that, like animals, trees communicate with each other and pass on their wealth to the next generation?可知树和动物一样，能够把自己的财富交个下一代。这比人们原来的看法完全不一样，树比我们认为地更聪明。故 C正确。【长难句解析】UBC Professor Simard explains how trees are much more complex than most of us ever imagined.【翻译】UBC 的教授 Simard树木要比我我们很多人想象得还要复杂。【分析】本节中的动词 explain后面含有一个 how引导的宾语从句 how trees are much more complex than most of us ever imagined.这个从句中有一个比较从句 most of us ever imagined。9
