It is true t

11、hat parents often find it difficult to win their childrens trust and they tend(倾向) to forget how they themselves felt when young.For example, young people like to act on the spot without much thinking. It is one of their ways to show that they have grown up and they can face any difficult situation.

12、 Old people worry more easily. Most of them plan things in advance, at least in the back of their minds, and do not like their plans to be upset by something unexpected.When you want your parents to let you do something, you will have better success if you ask before you really start doing it.Young

13、people often make their parents angry with their choices in clothes, in entertainment and in music. But they do not mean to cause any trouble; it is 4just that they feel cut off from the older peoples world, into which they have not yet been accepted.

14、e of their own, and if their parents dont like their music or entertainment or clothes or their way of speech, this will make the young people extremely happy.Sometimes you are so proud of yourself that you do not want your parents to say “yes” to what you do. All you want is to be left alone and do

15、 what you like. It is natural enough, after being a child for so many years, when you were completely under your parents control.If you prefer to control your life, youd better win your parents over and try to get them to understand you. If your parents see that you have a high sense of responsibili

16、ty, they will certainly give you the right to do what you want to do.21.

19、ed by without giving a coin or two to a beggar.My conscience was pricked again on a tour of Venice in 2010. I had taken refuge from the crowds in a quiet canal-side caf. Outside the caf was an old woman kneeling on the ancient cobbled stones, begging. Steady streams of tourists were walking past her

20、. A lone young back-packer stood away from the crowds drinking something, but I noticed he was also observing the woman.A tourist group glanced at the woman and walked on.

22、lowed suit and added more coins to the womans cup.The young backpacker repeated this process in front of the next tour party going past. Once again, the subtle peer (同伴) pressure worked on the tourists, who all added coins to the cup. His work done, the young man walked over to the old beggar woman,

23、 patted her shoulder and said, “I hope that helps a bit.”I dont know if the woman understood his English or realized what had just happened, but I did. I placed some money in the womans cup and continued my travels, light-hearted after witnessing such an act of caring.24The author went to a quiet ca

29、eople are paying more attention to the lion in the cage next to his. Not wanting to lose the attention of his audience, he climbs to the top of his cage, crawls across a partition(隔墙), and dangles(悬挂) from the top to the lions cage. The lion gets angry at this.

30、e end of the day he is given a raise for being such a good attraction well, this continues for some time.

34、mystery.

The scie

35、ntists then monitored their progress over 12 months as they flew to Africa in the autumn, and returned in the spring.The project was carried out to discover why every year fewer of the birds 8return to Britain. Between 1995 and 2010，the population of cuckoos spending summer here fell by almost half,

36、 and the number is continuing to decline. Previously, the lack of information about the cuckoos long migration has hampered the understanding of how to help conserve the birds.Earlier this year, it was reported that cuckoos arrived in the UK much earlier than normal. Their call was recorded by ornit

37、hologists(鸟类专家) as early as February, a month ahead of their usual arrival.Like all migrating animals, cuckoos respond to the changing seasons.

When lab rats are not allowed to sleep, they die within a month. 36 One idea is that sleep helps us strengthen new memories. 37 We know that,

41、 while awake, fresh memories are recorded by reinforcing (加强) connections 9between brain cells, but the memory processes that take place while we sleep have been unclear.Support is growing for a theory that sleep evolved（进化） so that connections between neurons (神经元) in the brain can be weakened over

42、night, making room for fresh memories to form the next day. 38 Now we have the most direct evidence yet that he is right . 39 The synapses （神经突触）in the mice taken at the end of a period of sleep were 18 percent smaller than those taken before sleep, showing that the connections between neurons weake

43、n while sleeping .If Tononis theory is right, it would explain why, when we miss a nights sleep , we find it harder the next day to concentrate and learn new information-our brains may have smaller room for new experiences.Their research also suggests how we may build lasting memories over time even

44、 though the synapses become thinner. The team discovered that some synapses seem to be protected and stayed the same size. 40 “You keep what matters,”Tononi says.A. We should also try to sleep well the night before.B. Its as if the brain is preserving(保存) its most important memories.C. Similarly, wh

45、en people go for a few days without sleeping, they get sick.D. The processes take place to stop our brains becoming loaded(装载) with memories.E. Thats why students do better in tests if they get a chance to sleep after learning.F. “Sleep is the price we pay for learning,” says Giulio Tononi, who deve

46、loped the idea.G. Tononis team measured the size of these connections, or synapses, in the brains of 12 mice.第三部分 语言知识运用（共两节 满分 40 分）第一节 （每题 1.5 分 共 30 分）10阅读下面短文，从短文后各题所给的四个选项（A、B、C 和 D）中，选出可填入空白处的最佳选项。I went with some colleagues from my office for a dinner in a very popular local restaurant.
