    Directions: Read the following passage. Fill in the numbered blanks by using the information from the passage.

    Write NO MORE THAN THREE WORDS for each answer.

    Every person needs energy to go about the day and continue to function correctly. To get this energy, you eat, and your body changes the food into the nutrients and energy you need to survive. Your metabolism (新陈代谢) is directly related to how quickly and efficiently your body creates this energy, and if it takes too long, the food gets stored as fat. A slow metabolism will leave you with less energy and more weight than you probably desire.

    Your basal metabolic rate (基础代谢率) is the amount of energy your body consumes while you're resting. When people say they have a slow metabolism, they mean they have a slow basal metabolic rate. Increasing this number is possible through exercise and muscle building.

    According to Metabolism-Advice. com, as your age, your basal metabolic rate will lower as your body begins to deteriorate (衰退). At the age of 30, your body will stop producing the high levels of growth hormone it previously produces. Your body senses that it's done growing at 30, so it uses the resources elsewhere. Unfortunately, that means that your muscle will deteriorate more rapidly than before. While you can’t block age's effects or your metabolism, you can fight against it with regular exercise that builds muscle.

    Although muscle deteriorates quicker with age, a lack of exercise will hurt your metabolism at any age. The muscle developed during exercise is vital to maintaining a healthy body with a normal basal metabolic rate. Therefore, while cardiovascular(心血管的)exercise will burn fat during the work out, building muscle will wisely allow your body to use more calories to give you healthy energy instead of stored fat.

    Another large factor that determines your basal metabolic rate is your eating habits. Metabolism-Advice. com suggests eating small meals every two to three hours. This will make sure that your metabolism is constantly working throughout your day. Another large factor is how healthily you eat. Taking in the required calories for your amount of daily activity will help keep your metabolism from lowering, but taking in too many calories may lead to fat.

    Mars( 火星) appears to be flowing with small streams of salty water, at least in the summer, scientists reported Monday. "It suggests that. it would be possible for there to be life today on Mars," NASA's science mission chief, John Grunsfeld, said at a news conference on September 28, 2015.

    The streams are about 12 to 15 feet wide and 300 feet or more long, scientists said. "What we're dealing with is wet soil. thin layers of wet soil, not standing water," said Aifred McEwen of the University of Arizona at Tueson ! the principal scientist for the Mars Reconnaissance Orbiter's high-resolution imaging experiment.

    Because liquid water is essential to life, the findings could have major implications for the possibility of Martian life. The researchers said further exploration is needed to determine whether microscopic life exists on the planet.

    The presence of liquid water could also make life easier for astronauts visiting or living on Mars. Water could be used for drinking and for creating oxygen and rocket fuel. NASA's goal is to send humans there in the 2030s.

    The evidence of flowing water consists largely of dark, narrow streaks(条痕) on the surface that tend to appear and grow during the warmest Martian months and fade the rest of the year.

    Mars is extremely cold even in summer, and the streaks are in places where the temperature is as low as minus 10 degrees Fahrenheit. But salt can lower the freezing point of water and melt ice.

    The source(源头) of the water is a mystery. Scientists noted it could be melting ice. It could be an underground aquifer, which is rock or sand that can hold water. It is possibly water vapor from the thin Martian atmosphere, Or it may be a combination.

    Michael Meyer, lead scientist for NASA's Mars exploration program, said the only definitive way for now to determine whether there's life on Mars is to collect rocks and soil for analysis on Earth - something a U. S. lander set for lift-off in 2020 will do.

    1.What would be the best title for the text?

    A Streams of Water Spotted on Mars

    B. Astronauts will Land on Mars

    C. NASA's Mars Exploration Program

    D. A Breakthrough in the Exploration of Mars

    2.According to John Grunsfeld, there seems to be on Mars.

    A. salty water

    B. standing water

    C. rocket fuel

    D. human beings

    3.Scientists are uncertain about the of the water on Mars.

    A. state

    B. source

    C. temperature

    D. taste

    4.What matters to the existence of liquid water on Mars?

    A. The distance from the sun.

    B. The favorable climate.

    C. The gravity of the earth

    C

    Dreams can be familiar and strange, fantastical or boring, but some dreams might be connected to the mental processes that help us learn. No one knows for certain why people dream, but some dreams might be connected to the mental processes that help us learn. In a recent study, scientists found a connection between nap-time(打盹时的) dreams and better memory in people who were learning a new skill.

    In the study, 99 college students between the ages of 18 and 30 each spent an hour on a computer, trying to get through a virtual maze (迷宫). The maze was difficult, and the study participants had to start in a different place each time they tried --- making it even more difficult. They were also told to find a particular picture of a tree and remember where it was.

    For the first 90 minutes of a five-hour break, half of the participants stayed awake and half were told to take a short nap. Participants who stayed awake were asked to describe their thoughts. Participants who took a nap were asked about their dream after sleep---and they were awakened within a minute of sleep to describe their dreams.

    Stickgold, a neuroscientist (神经科学家), wanted to know what people were dreaming about when their eyes weren’t moving, during sleep.

    Four of the 50 people who slept said their dreams were connected to the maze. Some dreamed about the music that had been playing when they were working; others said they dreamed about seeing people in the maze. When these four people tried the computer maze again, they were able to find the tree faster than before their naps.

    Stickgold suggests the dream itself doesn’t help a person learn --- it’s the other way around. He suspects that the dream was caused by the brain processed associated with learning.

    All four of the people who dreamed about the task had done poorly the first time, which makes Stickgold wonder if the dreams show up when a person finds a new task particularly difficult. People who had other dreams, or people who didn’t take a nap, didn’t show the same improvement.

    1.Before having a short nap, participants of the experiment were asked to ___________.

    A. stay in different place in the maze

    B. design a virtual maze which is difficult to get through

    C. experience the experiment and try to remember something

    D. get through a virtual maze on a computer from the same place

    2.After doing what they were asked on computers, participants ___________.

    A. were divided into two groups to do different things at break

    B. were so tired as to fall asleep

    C. felt bored with the experiment and they were sleepy

    D. were asked to remember their experiment separately

    3.What can we learn from the passage?

    A. Participants who took a nap were required to express their thought.

    B. Some dreams may encourage people to invent something new.

    C. Participants who dreamed about films could finish the task more easily.

    D. Participants whose dreams had something to do with the maze could find the tree faster.

    4.According to Stickgold, ____________.

    A. every person may dream about what they learned

    B. people’s brain processes may still be connected with their learning in their dreams

    C. once people’s eyes stop moving, they are sued to dream about something

    D. no matter fantastical or boring, dreams are connected with peoples life

    5.Which of the following can be the best title for this passage?

    A. Strange Dreams

    B. Stickgold, a Dream Expert

    C. Dreaming Makes Better

    D. Not All Dreams Are True

    After having worked in the University of Maryland for three years, I got a job offer from another university---Lynn University. I left my letter of offer on my present boss's desk, turned around, and closed the door quietly. I was expecting a call from my boss saying congratulations, which would show her approval of my leaving.

    In the afternoon, my boss called me, saying, "Can we meet tomorrow? "That was a good signal. The next day, I met with my boss. She said, 'Nicholas, we want you. What do you want?" I said, "Boss, I deserve a significant pay raise this year due to my outstanding performance. I think I need a 10% pay raise next year as a condition for me to stay here." My boss said, "No problem.''

    When I left her office, I called Lynn University and told them that I was going to get a 10% pay raise. They had to give me 10% more than their original pay offer in order for me to accept the job. The new boss told me that he was willing to give me more, but I would feel very bad working at this university with such a high pay. I would win a battle, but I would lose a war. He said, "The problem is that your colleague will earn less than you, so you will feel guilty(内疚)and uncomfortable. But, I can still give you 5% more than the original offer."

    I delivered this massage to my present boss, and she told me that she would give me another 5% pay raise if I promised to refuse this new job offer. On top of that, she would strongly support my early promotion（晋升)from assistant professor to associate professor. According to the university policy, you must take at least 6 years to get promoted. That was my third year of employment at this university. After refusing the new job offer, I finally enjoyed both a pay raise and early promotion.

    A. His boss would approve his leaving the University of Maryland.

    B. He would leave his present job and work for Lynn University.

    C. His boss would talk with him about a possible pay offer.

    D. His friends would congratulate him on getting a new job offer.

    2.Why did the new boss agree to another 5% raise when Nicholas asked for 10% the next day?

    A .He did not have the right to make such a big pay offer.

    B. he did not want Nicholas to earn more than he did.

    C. Nicholas was not experienced enough to get such a raise.

    D. Nicholas would not feel good for earning too much more than others.

    3.How much pay raise did the author finally get as a result of refusing the new job offer?

    A. 5% B. 10% C. 15% D. 20%

    4.In the text, the author mainly tells his experience of________.
