    　　Sydney is Australia's most exciting city．The history of Australia begin here．In 1788, Captain Arthur Philips arrived in Sydney with 11 ships and 1024 passengers from Britain(including 770 prisoners)．Today there are 2.5 million people in Sydney．It is the biggest city in Australia, and one of the most beautiful cities in the world．

    　　There are over 20 fine beaches close to Sydney．Its warm summer climate and cool winter have made it a favorite city for immigrants(移民)from overseas．There are three things that made Sydney famous-its beautiful harbor(港口), the Sydney Harbor Bridge, and the Sydney Opera House．

    　　But there are many more interesting things in Sydney： beautiful shops and restaurants, for example, rows of interesting old houses built in the 19th century, and everywhere, the sea．Summer or winter, day or night, Sydney is an outdoor city．

    　　Some Americans think it is very British．Some British visitors think it is like America．There is some truth in both these opinions, because Sydney takes from both the Old World－Europe, and the New World-America, and makes it into something that is neither British nor American but truly Australian．

    　　When a person is curious about something, it means he is 1 in it and wishes to know more about it. There is 2 wrong with curiosity in itself. Whether it is good or bad depends on what people are curious about.

    　　Curiosity is 3 silly or wrong. Some persons with nothing to do are full of curiosity about what their 4 are doing. They are 5 to know what they are eating or drinking, what they are 6 home or taking outside, or 7 they have come so early or late. To be interested in these things is 8 because they are 9 at all. It is none of their 10 to know what their neighbors do or are doing. Such curiosity is 11 not only 12 but also harmful. For most probably, it 13 to small talk which often brings harm, shame of disrespect to others, and thus 14 their feelings.

    　　On the other hand, there is a 15 curiosity--the curiosity of wise men, who wonder at all the great things and try to 16 all they can about them. Columbus could never have found America if he had not been 17 . James Watt would not have made the steam engine 18 his curiosity about the raising of the kettle lid. All the discoveries in human history have been made 19 a result of curiosity, 20 , the curiosity is never about unimportant things which have few or nothing to do with the happiness of the public.

    阅读下面短文，从各题A、B、C、D四个选项中，选出最佳答案。
    People who smoke could lose around one third of their daily memory, researchers say.
    A study by a team at Northumbria University showed that smokers lost more of their memory when compared to non-smokers.
    And the research also found that those who kicked the habit saw their ability to recollect information restored to almost the same level as non-smokers.
    The study involved more than seventy 18-to-25-year-olds and included a tour of the university’s campus. Those who took part were asked to recall small details, such as a list of songs played at a campus concert and tasks completed at various points－known as real world memory test. Smokers performed badly, remembering just 59 percent of tasks. But those who had given up smoking remembered 74 percent and those who had never smoked recalled 81 percent of tasks.
    Dr. Tom Heffernan, who leads Northumbria University’s Collaboration for Drug and Alcohol Research Group, said the findings would be useful in anti-smoking campaigns. He said, “Given that there are up to 10 million smokers in the UK and as many as 45 million in the United States, it's important to understand the effects smoking has on everyday cognitive（认知的）function-of which prospective memory is an excellent example. ”
    “This is the first time that a study has set out to examine whether giving up smoking has an impact on memory. We already know that giving up smoking has huge health benefits for the body, but this study also shows how stopping smoking can have knock-on benefits for cognitive functions too. ’’
    The research will now investigate the effects of passive smoking on memory, while Dr. Heffernan and Dr. Terence O’Neil will look into the effects of third-hand smoking－toxins left on curtains and furniture.
    【小题1】What’s the main idea of the passage?

    A．Smoking does harm to health.
    B．Smokers take a tour to the University’s campus.
    C．Smoking can affect one’s memory.
    D．Smokers are compared to non-smokers.
    【小题2】How did those who took part in the study perform when asked to recall small details?
    A．Smokers did the worst among the participants.
    B．Non-smokers could recall about half of them.
    C．Smokers could recall nothing at all.
    D．Those who gave up smoking did best.
    【小题3】According to Dr. Tom Heffernan, the findings_______.
    A．would be really a surprise to the public
    B．would contribute to fighting against smoking
    C．would be used in real world memory test
    D．would be nothing new to the researchers
    【小题4】What does the underlined word “impact’’ most probably mean?
    A．orderB．impressionC．expression D．effect
    【小题5】What will Dr. Heffernan and Dr Terence O’Neil do?
    A．Investigate the effects of third-hand smoking.
    B．Do research on how smoking affects passive smokers.
    C．Find ways to persuade people to quit smoking.
    D．Study whether giving up smoking affects memory.
