  The smell of chocolate sends brain waves “wild” and relaxes people at the same time, according to experts.

  No other smell tested on volunteers had such a strong effect ,Neil Martin ,an expert at London’s Middlesex University, said.

  “Chocolate was quite a star performer in the experiment,” Martin said.“It seemed to make the brain go quite ,scientifically, wild.”

  He added: “We found that they found it pleasing and they found it very relaxing.”

  About 20 volunteers were asked to sniff(嗅)smells including chocolate ,strawberry, garlic ,spearmint, baked beans, coffee and rotting meat.

  They sat in specially designed smell-proof rooms ,wore clouded glasses and had ear plugs so they had to keep their minds on the smells presented to them.

  Volunteers were not told what smells they were going to get .While they sniffed, Martin’s group measured their brain activity.Chocolate weakened brain waves known as theta waves, which are connected with attention ,Martin said.

  “This seems to be the one involved with attention.The more complex a task you do, the more of this brain wave there is,” he said.

  Martin said it was not clear why chocolate alone should have such an effect.

  “One reason is that you are thinking about chocolate ,maybe baking cakes or sweets ,and because of that you don’t pay much attention to your environment and it relaxes you,” he said.

  “Or perhaps somehow the emotional center of the brain is made active-but this would not explain why other pleasant smells did not have the same effect,” he added.

About friendship

Section B

We often say, “A friend in need is a friend indeed.” But what is the exact meaning of friendship? No one can really offer a definite concept, because different people hold various views on friendship.

Everyone has his own friendship and some have a lot of friends.But in fact, quantity is not so important as quality.Loyalty is the most important for friendship.No one wants to make friends with those who will betray them.

No matter whether you are married or not, no matter where you live and work, your friends are your friends.It is not based on bloodline.It relies on your intention.To you, some friends are fun-loving, some give encouragement, some offer knowledge, and others help you to find your own identity.Before your friends, you may act as a supervisor, a learned brother, a lovely child, a gentleman or a playmate.In a word, friendship helps you to be a full person.So friendship can benefit.

 Texting in the street—your funeral

Millions of people are putting their lives at risk by texting their friends as they walk along busy streets, reported the Daily Mail.

One in ten  41  users has already been  42  because they are so lost in their phones that they fail to  43  lamp-posts or cars, according to Joanna Lumdsen of Aston University.

To test the danger of texting while  44  , Lumdsen did an experiment in which volunteers followed a  45  path while trying to  46  in a message on the phone.

Around them, screens  47  up instructions to avoid stepping on  48  colors on the floor.

She found that people missed one in five  49  because they were so busy with their phones.

“In  50  life this means that one in five lamp-posts or moving cars is  51

to go unnoticed by people  52  and walking,” she said.

Her research is looking for ways cell phone makers could improve the  53

of phones to make texting on the move  54  . That could  55  easier-to-use voice operated phones, or phones that respond to gestures.

“The safest thing is  56  people not to text while they walk along,” she said. “ 57  a lot of people in business are  58  to carry a mobile phone and be in  59  24 hours a day, seven days a week. They are under pressure to reply to calls  60  , and to respond to text messages and emails straight away.

13【题文】“Hurry, Mommy! Let’s go trick-or-treating!” My daughter waited by the door in her pink princess skirt while I prayed in the living room. Usually I liked taking her out on Halloween, but this year I was sad. I was worried about my mother, who was in China on vacation. I got a call that afternoon that she had slipped and fallen on the hard floor of her hotel and broken her leg. She was taken to a hospital in Beijing. Mom was nervous because she couldn’t understand any of the doctors. If only I could do something to help her!

I knew I couldn’t let my worries spoil my daughter’s fun. There was nothing I could do for Mom except pray, I thought. We left the house and went down the block. I was so upset that I hardly took notice of the kids around me. There came the man to whose son I’d once given piano lessons. “Hello there,” I said, greeting him and the boy at his side.

“Hello,” the father answered. “Having fun?”“I’m trying,” I said. “Why, what’s wrong?” he asked. I told him the whole story. “My mother, in China, broke her leg and didn’t understand any of the doctors. And I’m too far away to do anything!” I said.

He raised his eyebrows. “Beijing, you said?” he asked. I nodded. He smiled. “Believe it or not, my sister is a doctor at an English-speaking hospital there. If you want, I’ll make a call right away and we’ll try and get your mom transferred (转移).”

A few days later I sat in the living room with my daughter as she finished the last of the candy. “Mommy, how far away is China?” she asked. “Not as far as I thought,” I said.

41.What did the author’s daughter want to do?

A.Pray with the author.

B.Enjoy herself outside.

C.Play a trick on her mom.

D.Go to the theatre to see a play.

42.What was the author’s mother worried about most?

A.She couldn’t get used to the life in Beijing.

B.She was hurt in the leg badly while travelling.

C.She was too old and weak to pray for her daughter.

D.She couldn’t make herself understood by the doctor.

43.The author hardly took notice of the kids around because _____ .

A.she was calling her mother

B.she felt very sad at that time

C.she was about to give a lesson

D.she couldn’t find her daughter

44. We can infer from the text that _____ .

A.the man’s sister would help the author’s mother

B.the author would come to China to see her mother

C.the author was a famous music teacher in the town

14【题文】It is winter in many parts of the world. For some areas, that means snow. Maybe even lots of snow. If you don’t have to drive in it or remove it, snow can be very beautiful. When snow covers everything around you, the world looks like a “winter wonderland”. That is the name of a very popular song about winter. Richard Smith and Felix Bernard wrote the song back in 1934. There are hundreds of recordings of this happy song.

But winter is not always such a beautiful and happy time. It’s cold outside. You try hard to keep warm. The days are darker and shorter. The sun rarely shines. The leaves on the trees are brown. It isn’t surprising that some people are sad in winter. And some people dream about being somewhere else where it’s warm and pretty—like the state of California. The Mamas and the Papas recorded this famous song “California Dreaming”.

During the 1960s, many other famous rock groups released songs about winter. Here is a poetic song by Simon and Garfunkel called “A Hazy Shade of Winter”. They sing about life and hope and possibilities.

In 1968, the group Blood, Sweat and Tears recorded this gentle, sad song about winter. They sing about a lost love and forgotten memories in “Sometimes in Winter”.

In the early 1990s, Tori Amos wrote and recorded the beautiful song called “Winter”. She enjoyed singing about winter when she was a child.

Finally, on a happier note comes this song written and recorded by Fountains of Wayne in 2003. They sing about a snowstorm in a New England town. Nothing unusual there. But instead of being sad or tense about the snow, they write a song about it.

49. The underlined sentence “For some areas, that means snow.” probably means 

_____ .

A.In some areas, when it’s winter, it must snow

B.In some areas, it often snows in winter

C.In some areas, it’s important to snow

D.In some areas, people like snow in winter

50. According to the second paragraph, winter is _____ .

A.beautiful and happy

B.happy and warm

C.lovely and hopeful

D.cold and sad

51.Which of the songs can bring us hope of life?

A.Winter Wonderland.

B.California Dreaming.

C.A Hazy Shade of Winter.

D.Sometimes in Winter.

52.What does the passage mainly talk about?

A.Winter in different areas.

B.Different ideas about winter.

C.Songs about winter.

D.Winter is cold but happy.

15【题文】A number of scientific studies have suggested that repeatedly heading a football could increase the risk of developing dementia (痴呆症) in later life.

In 2002, former England international footballer Jeff Astle died aged 59. A coroner (验尸官) said that Astle died from a brain disease likely to have been caused by “repeated small damages to the brain” related to heading a heavy leather football.

Dr. Scott Delaney, research director of emergency medicine at McGill University Health Center in Montreal, Canada, has also researched soccer-related head injury and agrees that head-to-head or elbow-to-head blows are the real risk.

In 2007, Delaney carried out a study on footballers aged between 12 and 17 that showed they were half as likely to be concussed (使脑部受到震荡) wearing headgear (帽) than without.

He said youngsters have a higher risk of head injury than adults because their heads are thinner and less able to absorb shock. To make matters worse, their neck muscles aren’t as well developed and they often lack the correct heading technique that can help throw away the force of the ball.

Delaney recommends that children wear headgear when playing football and says his two eldest children wear head protection playing the sport. But he admits that children can be unwilling to be the first to wear head protection—especially when their football heroes play without it.

While headgear can protect footballers from being concussed during a match, no one knows the long-term effects of repeated “sub-concussive” blows to the head.

Delaney says that while there is indirect evidence that a career in soccer can lead to dementia, no one has yet found a sure link between the two. He says proving a link would mean monitoring hundreds of footballers for three or four decades—and that would take a lot of funding.

57.Which might be the best title of the passage?

A.Playing football may lead to brain damage.

B.Repeated small damages to the brain.

C.Footballers should wear headgear when playing. .

D.Evidence to dementia.

58.According to Delaney’s research, what is the most risky injuries to head?

A.Long-term effects of blows.

B.Wearing head protection.

C.Underdeveloped neck muscles.

D.Head-to-head or elbow-to-head blows.

59. Children are unwilling to wear headgear because they think _____ .

A.headgear is harmful to their heads

B.headgear influences their skills

C.they should follow their idols

D.they mustn’t lead the fashion

60.It can be inferred from the last paragraph that _____ .

A.Delaney has studied dementia for three or four decades

B.few footballers would like to be studied in the research

C.funding is important in order to carry out the research.

D.no one can find the link between playing football and dementia

16【题文】根据短文内容,从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。

Are You Ready for College?

Before you send in your college applications, keep this in mind: it’s not the norm (准则) in every culture for students to go to college right out of high school.

 65.  So if you find yourself applying for college simply because it’s the thing to do after high school, think again. Going to college right after high school may be the norm in your community, but it’s not the norm everywhere and it may not be the best decision for you.

 66.  Yes, higher education often gives young people a big advantage in the working world, but not always. A solid technical or business school application can give you an advantage as well, and if the environment seems like a better one for you than a traditional college campus, this might be your best choice. A lot of people lead successful lives with a high school education and years of work experience.

The price of a college or university education has become a serious burden for young people and their families.   67. In some cases, putting off college for a year or two while a student earns money full time can make sense.   68.  

  69.  Almost all students suffer from homesickness, but for some students, the transition may be too much to deal with.

A.Is going to college always the best choice for high school graduates?

B.Spend some time considering your choices before sending in your applications.

C.Besides, it’s quite possible that going to college is not the right choice for you.

D.During this time, the student can take a few inexpensive classes at a community college.

E. So students take massive amounts of loans, which can take decades to pay off.

F. Many young people have other choices, like military service, work experience,

community service or travel.

G. The transition from high school to college is an emotional challenge for almost everybody,

especially if you move away from home.

Today is World Water Day.In the morning, we had a class meeting talking about what to do on this special day. Finally, we reached an agreement and immediately began to make preparations for the afternoon’s activities.

At 2:00 p.m., we went to the neighboring community to hand out leaflets, calling on people to save water. Around 3 o’clock, the expert we invited gave an excellent speech on the current water crisis in China. He talked about the drought in the Southwest and the severe shortage of water in our city. The speech had a strong appeal to all the people present, including me.

After the speech, we had a discussion with our neighbors about various ways of saving water in our daily life. I suggested turning off the water tap immediately after using it, and a granny came up with the ideas of reusing the water from kitchen, for example, the water after washing fruits and vegetables can be used to water flowers and so on.

Today, I have had a better understanding of the importance of saving water and really learnt a lot about saving water.
