Spilich put young non

19、-smokers, active smokers and smokers deprived(被剥夺 ) of cigarettes through a series of tests. In the first test, each subject(试验对象 ) sat before a computer screen and pressed a key as soon as he or she recognized a target letter among a group of 96. In this simple test, smokers, deprived smokers and n

20、onsmokers performed equally well. The next test was more complex, requiring all to scan sequences of 20 identical letters and respond the instant one of the letters transformed into a different one. Non-smokers were the fast, but under the stimulation of nicotine(尼古丁 ), active smokers were faster th

21、an deprived smokers. In the third test of short-term memory, non-smokers made the fewest errors, but deprived smokers committed fewer errors than active smokers. The fourth test required people to read a passage, then answer questions about it. Nonsmokers remembered 19 percent more of the most impor

22、tant information than active smokers, and deprived smokers bested those who had smoked a cigarette just before testing. Active smokers tended not only to have poorer memories but also had trouble separating important information from insignificant details. “As our tests became more complex,“ sums up

23、 Spilich, “non-smokers performed better than smokers by wider and wider margins. “ He predicts, “smokers might perform adequately at many jobs until they got complicated. A smoking airline pilot could fly adequately if no problems arose, but if something went wrong, smoking might damage his mental c

24、apacity. “ 36 The purpose of George Spilichs experiments is_. （ A） to test whether smoking has a positive effect on the mental capacity of smokers （ B） to show how smoking damages peoples mental capacity （ C） to prove the smoking affects peoples regular performance （ D） to find out whether smoking h

25、elps peoples short-term memory 37 George Spilichs experiment was conducted in such a way as to_. （ A） compel the subjects to separate major information from minor details （ B） put the subjects through increasingly complex tests （ C） check the effectiveness of nicotine on smokers （ D） register the pr

27、d more quickly than the other subjects. （ C） Non-smokers were not better than other subjects in performing simple tests. （ D） Deprived smokers gave the slowest responses to the various tasks. 40 We can infer from the last paragraph that_. （ A） smokers should not expect to become airline pilots （ B）

28、smoking in emergency cases causes mental illness （ C） no airline pilots smoke during flights （ D） smokers may prove unequal to handling emergency cases Task 2 Directions: This task is the same as Task 1. The 5 questions or unfinished statements are numbered 41 through 45. 41 There are two kinds of m

29、emory: short-term and long-term. Information in long-term memory can be remembered at a later time when it is needed. The information may be kept for days or weeks. However, information in short-term memory is kept for only a few seconds, usually by repeating the information over and over. The follo

30、wing experiment shows how short-term memory has been studied. Henning studied how students who are learning English as a second language remember vocabulary. The subjects in his experiment were 75 college students. They represented all levels of ability in English: beginning, intermediate, and nativ

31、e-speaking students. To begin, the subjects listened to a recording of a native speaker reading a paragraph in English. Following the recording, the subjects took a 15-question test to see which words they remembered. Each question had four choices. The subjects had to circle the word they had heard

32、 in the recording. Some of the questions had four choices that sound alike. For example, weather, whether, wither, and wetter are four words that sound alike. Some of the questions had four choices that have the same meaning. Method, way, manner, and system would be four words with the same meaning.

33、 Finally the subjects took a language proficiency test. Henning found that students with a lower proficiency in English made more of their mistakes on words that sound alike; students with a higher proficiency made more of their mistakes on words that have the same meaning. Hennings results suggest

34、that beginning students hold the sound of words in their short-term memory, and advanced students hold the meaning of words in their short-term memory. 41 Henning made the experiment in order to study _ . （ A） how students remember English vocabulary by short-term memory （ B） how students learn Engl

35、ish vocabulary （ C） how to develop students ability in English （ D） how long information in short-term memory is kept 42 Which of the following statements is TURE according to the passage? （ A） Information in short-term memory is different from that in long-term memory. （ B） Long-term memory can be

36、achieved only by training. （ C） It is easier to test short-term memory than long-term memory. （ D） Henning gave a separate test on vocabulary to his students. 43 From Hennings result we can see that _ . （ A） beginners have difficulty distinguishing the pronunciation of words （ B） advanced students r

37、emember words by their meaning （ C） it is difficult to remember words that sound alike （ D） it is difficult to remember words that have the same meaning 44 The word “subject“ in the passage means _ . （ A） memory （ B） the theme of listening material （ C） a branch of knowledge studied （ D） the student

38、 experimented on 45 The passage centers on _ . （ A） memory （ B） two kinds of memory （ C） short-term memory （ D） an experiment on students Task 3 Directions: The following is a passage. After reading it, you are required to complete the outline in the table below (No. 46 through 50). You should write

39、 your answers briefly (in no more than 3 words) on the blanks. 46 There is an old saying in English: “Laughter is the best medicine“. Until recently, few people took the saying very seriously. Now, however, doctors have begun to investigate laughter and the effects it has on the human body. They hav

40、e found evidence that laughter really can improve peoples health. Tests were carried out to study the effects of laughter on the body. People watched funny films, while doctors checked their heart rate, blood pressure, breathing and muscles. It was found that laughter has similar effects to physical

41、 exercise. It increases blood pressure, the heart rate and the rate of breathing; it also works several groups of muscles in the face, the stomach, and even the feet. If laughter exercises the body, it must be beneficial. Other tests have shown that laughter appears to be capable of reducing the eff

42、ect of pain on the body. There is also some evidence to suggest that laughter helps the bodys immune system, that is, the system which fights infection. As a result of these discoveries, some doctors and psychiatrists (精神病学家 )in the United States now hold laughter clinics, in which they try to impro

43、ve their patients condition by encouraging them to laugh. 1) Laughter really can (46) . 2) In the first test, it was found that laughter has similar effects to (47) . 3) Other tests have shown that laughter can reduce the effect of (48) on the body. 4) There is evidence to show that laughter helps t

48、d fashion cannot be accused of causing cancer. But they do not have to promote a product that does. WHO is calling on the entertainment industry, in particular the world of films and fashion, to stop promoting a product that kills a regular user every second. In November 2002, WHO was joined by medi

49、cal associations and the Smoke Free Films project at the University of California in San Francisco in its call to the entertainment and fashion industries to ensure that their social responsibility is commensurate with their global influence?
